"found it."

Arriving at the woods marked on the map, Anti-Entropy and his crew only found broken eggshells and footprints that disappeared out of thin air.

"The breath of collapse is very faint, she...they left here." Based on the footprints that had not yet disappeared on the snow, Walter judged that in addition to the Valkyries, there were two other people who had appeared here before, a woman and a man.

"Go to the Tower of Babel? Maybe there will be some clues there." Einstein squatted down and collected a small piece of eggshell, intending to do a simple composition analysis on it later.

“Well, before that, try to negotiate with the people of Destiny first. It would be best if we can talk directly to the bishop of Destiny.” Walter said.

"Yes, yes. I have sent you the current location of Siegfried Kaslana and the granddaughter of Bishop of Heaven's Fate."

Tesla next to them operated on the tablet, and then shared a picture of the white-haired man and woman and their real-time location with the two of them. "If it's these two, they should be able to directly establish contact with the Bishop of Destiny."

"..."

Rumble————!

When they were caught off guard, the ground where they were located collapsed. Before Einstein and Tesla could react, they were lifted into the air by Walter one by one, looking down at the anti-entropy mecha below falling into a huge bottomless pit.

"My mecha ahh ...

Tesla screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and Einstein blocked his ears expressionlessly, "Dr. Tesla, please wear the noise reduction mask I gave you next time. My ears can't stand the frequent noise damage."

It’s a pity that all Tesla could see was the huge pit under his feet, as if he could see his mechas that had fallen into the pit and were shattered into pieces.

“…There’s someone over there.”

Walter said suddenly, and the next second, the plain boy’s voice appeared in his ears: “Now I am behind you.”

"?!"

Walter felt a strong impact on his back, and then he was blown away like a cannonball and smashed into the hole under his feet.

"Hey! Let me go!"

Tesla, who was originally held by Walter, now fell into the hands of another person. He looked up at the other person's weird black and white eyes, and suddenly struggled violently.

Einstein was also captured, but she did not struggle. Instead, she quietly observed the black-haired boy in front of her through her own eyes, trying to collect as much information as possible in the shortest time.

"..."

Even though the boy reached into Tesla's brain, Einstein remained surprisingly calm and even asked a question: "Did you kill her?"

"No."

Got such an answer.

After searching for a while, the boy withdrew his hand from Tesla's brain and cast his eyes on Einstein who was suspended in the air by an unknown force.

Seeing the boy's hand getting closer and closer to his brain, Einstein quickened his pace and continued to ask: "What are you looking for?"

"Your [memories]."

"Your power is related to [Memory]? Are you also a Herrscher?"

"maybe."

The boy's hand had already reached into Einstein's forehead, and the latter's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he gradually fell into a deep sleep. But before the boy could continue, he sensed something and instantly withdrew his hand.

A huge pressure descended on the position where the boy was just now, but it accurately avoided Einstein and Tesla. If the boy had taken a step later, he would have fallen into the bottomless abyss created by himself under his feet like the mecha before.

The two girls fell from mid-air, and a figure flashed out from the pit under their feet. It was Walter who had been shot down before and came back to stop the boy from taking any further action.

"I came back sooner than expected."

The boy fell on the snow next to the pit, while Walter brought the two girls slowly to the other edge of the pit, facing him.

Walter held a sphere that was glowing red and black in his hand. Strong energy was emerging around him. While he was on guard, he was also protecting the two unconscious girls.

"You are the third Herrscher? You control... gravity?"

When Walter fell just now, his body was under endless pressure. Wasn't this familiar feeling similar to the power of the Heart of Eden in his hand?

"..."

The boy did not answer this time, but took a step back, his figure gradually disappearing into the dark portal that appeared behind him. Instead, a Honkai beast with giant red and blue arms appeared and rushed towards Walter.

"trouble……!"

A red light appeared in Walter's eyes. The cooperation between the Second Herrscher and the "Third Herrscher" was not something that could be easily resolved!

……

The scene comes to the bottom of the Tower of Babylon. Siegfried and Theresa have already arrived here. They encountered many Honkai beasts on the way, but they were just low-level Honkai beasts and could be easily dealt with. The slightly tricky Honkai beasts were dealt with in advance by other Valkyrie teams, trying to leave a smooth path for the two people who went to investigate inside the Tower of Babylon.

"Ms. Sakura and Ms. Kallen are there!"

Theresa saw Yaesakura and Kallen leaning against the bottom entrance of the Tower of Babylon, both of them looking a little absent-minded.

"It seems that they also encountered some troubles on the way here?" Siegfried was still somewhat concerned about the black shadow that attacked Theresa before, wondering if the troubles encountered by the two people were also related to it.

Kallen and Yae Sakura also noticed Theresa and Siegfried, stood up straight, and Kallen waved to them.

The four of them met and exchanged information.

"You also lost consciousness for unknown reasons?" Siegfried asked.

"'also'?"

Kallen glanced at him, "Are you guys the same as us?"

"Ah... It was Theresa, not me. She was knocked to the ground after just being away for a minute. Luckily that guy didn't do anything to her, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to Amethyst when I go back..." Among the four, Siegfried looked even more frightened, while the other three who were directly attacked did not react at all, as if the previous coma was just a dream that could be forgotten at will.

"We'll talk about the attackers later. Right now we need to complete the mission."

Yaezakura looked up at the towering Tower of Babylon, took out a card and placed it on the identifier at the entrance. Immediately, the heavy iron door separating the inside and the outside slowly opened.

"The other teams will help us keep an eye on the situation outside, so we don't have to worry about being surrounded by a lot of Honkai beasts after we come out." Kallen said, and took the lead in going in, followed by Yae Sakura and Theresa.

"Oh... I have a bad feeling..."

Siegfried sighed and reluctantly followed the three girls.
