"Shut down the main power engine, start the descent engine, and begin powered descent."

At the landing area in the Taurus-Littrow Valley on the moon, a huge red and black robot began to slowly descend.

"Landing successful."

Walter left the control room in Alaharto and landed on the lunar land.

Immediately afterwards, Zijing also jumped down.

"Let's go."

Amethyst looked back at the hatch, confirmed that it was closed, and then said to Walter.

"Well, the two Herrschers are now..."

Before Walter could finish his words, he saw a human girl flapping her huge wings flying towards him.

A grown-up version of Bella? No, this should be Benares, right?

Amethyst recognized him and was somewhat surprised that Sirin had given Benares a human body as well.

The gray-haired girl approached quickly and hovered in the air in front of Amethyst and Walter.

Her eyes were cold when she looked at Walter, but she showed surprise and confusion when she turned to Amethyst.

"you……"

Although the man in front of me was the one that the Queen had ordered to be killed, for some reason, I couldn't hate him. He seemed familiar, yet strange. Had I seen him somewhere before?

Moreover, the look in this person's eyes... doesn't look like the look a hostile person should have.

"Bella, take us to see Xilin. There are some complicated things that need to be discussed in person."

Amethyst interrupted Benares and said, "Another Herrscher, he felt that with his arrival, her [gaze] shifted to him."

"……follow me."

As a follower of the Second Herrscher, Benares originally wanted to act tougher, at least to not lose face for the Queen, but now he had no choice but to lead the way obediently, looking back at Amethyst from time to time. The thinking ability given to her by the Queen made her constantly waver between ferocity and rationality.

"...Mr. Amethyst, you never said that you knew the Second Herrscher and her followers."

Listening to the conversation between the man and the beast, Walter felt like he might be sold out at any time.

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you that?"

"Yes, you didn't."

"Haha... okay, it doesn't matter. Don't show that wary expression. I'm still on the side of humans."

"..."

Walter felt helpless, but what else could he say at this point? He had no choice but to follow Benares with Zijing.

……

And just as the two men and the dragon moved away, the eyes of the red and black robot, which were supposed to be empty, lit up without warning, but quickly went out again.

“Don’t move! What if we are discovered before Mr. Walter and the others take action?!”

A suppressed voice sounded in the control room.

"Ah? I saw no movement for so long, I thought Li... No, that's not right. Brother Jing and the others had already led those two guys away... Uncle Siegfried, can you stick your head out and take a look?"

"You should be patient for a while. If you are discovered, you will be in trouble... Are you really a member of the Moth Organization?"

"It's the real deal. She ranks in the top 20 in the entire organization. She is Padochillis."

"I feel so weak..."

"Damn it, old man, how can you talk like that?!"

"I'm not old enough to be an uncle yet, although I'm only a little bit away... Never mind, Miss Pardo, what are your specialties?"

"Specialty? Uncle Siegfried, you should not have forgotten our mission, right? Collecting soul steel samples and taking them when those two Herrschers aren't paying attention. Hehe, this is my strong point!"

"I see. From now on, I'll leave everything to you, Miss Paddo!"

"Of course, leave it to me... Alas, why did Sister Ellie insist on asking me to accompany this uncle? I just need to wait for good news from Brother Li... (Paduo, who was ignored by another Herrscher because she was too weak, muttered softly)"

……

Lunar Relics Center.

"Is it finally here?"

The purple-haired girl sat on a stone seat in the middle, her two long white legs crossed, her long hair and skirt fluttering. Her golden eyes were originally a little lazy, but after seeing Zijing and Walter, they revealed a terrible coldness.

"My Lady Queen..."

Benares flew to Sirin's side, looked at Amethyst who was looking at Sirin with complicated eyes, and wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked by an unknown force and she could not make a sound.

"Shh... don't ruin my good thing, cute little dragon~"

A black-haired female voice sounded in Benares' ears. Under the vigilant gaze of Walter and the indifferent eyes of Amethyst, a woman in a pure black dress appeared beside Xilin, put her hands on Xilin's shoulders, and gave Amethyst a mocking smile.

"The culprit has finally appeared. If it weren't for you, Xilin might have come home with me to eat hotpot a few days ago..."

Zijing swung his hands, and golden flames danced on his fingertips. Then they quickly condensed into a big sword, passing over Xilin and pointing directly at "Li" behind her. "Have you thought of your last words? Let me kill you first, and then I will take my good sister home."

"Haha... How scary. But don't forget, this is our home ground. You are the ones who have fallen into the trap~"

As the black-haired woman finished speaking, the entire circular ruins suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The light surged like a tide, instantly submerging Amethyst and Walter.

In the blink of an eye, Zijing opened and closed his eyes and found himself in a strange area.

The surrounding scene became distorted and strange, as if it was twisted by some force. The ground was no longer solid rock, but a flowing black swamp, emitting a suffocating breath.

The sky was also in chaos. In the endless darkness, a few twisted lightning flashed occasionally, bringing a hint of strange light.

Amethyst stood at the edge of the quagmire. The black liquid had begun to erode his feet, as if they would be swallowed up at any time.

Walter disappeared, along with that "Li". In this space, only himself and Xilin opposite him were left.

"Kill you."

The purple-haired girl was also stepping into the black liquid, her feet were corroded, but she used the power of space to separate them.

She slowly approached Zijing, step by step, in no hurry, as if she was thinking about how to make the person opposite her die more painfully.

Something is not good...

The original plan was for him to fight against that "Li" and Walter to fight Xilin, but that guy obviously had his own ideas. He divided the arena and locked himself and Xilin together, while she fought against Walter.

The strong against the strong, the weak against the weak.

Now the situation has been reversed, now it’s the strong against the weak.

The next competition is who wins their battle first.
