"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe!"
A colossal flame greatsword appeared, its raging inferno seemingly capable of melting all the ice and snow of Babylon.
However, for Sirin, who possessed the Herrscher of the Void's core, this move, while not immediately fatal, could at least inflict damage.
"Ah, you insects! Why can't you just wait for death? Why put up a futile resistance? Why!"
The absolute power of the Herrscher of the Void unfolded, instantly turning the one-sided battlefield. The Gem of Serenity within her repaired her wounds; all previous efforts were in vain.
"Hoo... hoo... no vital organs were hit. You have no chance of winning. What now?"
If they couldn't come up with something more, death was their only fate.
"Bella, we retreat!"
Upon hearing their Queen's command, Bella, who had been entangled with Theresa, immediately broke free. Spreading her wings, she transformed into a colossal dragon in the sky. Sirin stood condescendingly on its head, her golden pupils overlooking everything.
"Heh heh... wait for it. Your Herrscher core, I will definitely come to claim it."
This statement was clearly directed at Welt. It seemed Sirin not only wanted these people dead but also the Herrscher of Reason's core.
As the sky-high dragon ascended, the people on the snowy ground gained temporary safety. A beautiful woman with long white hair quickly descended into the clearing.
"Siegfried, are you alright? You fool, didn't you say you couldn't use 'Heavenly Fire, unsheathe' again? How could you break your promise?"
Siegfried, lying on the snow, looked at the woman before him with bitterness and said, "Cecilia, I... I just couldn't. You just gave birth, and I didn't want to burden your body further."
Cecilia didn't know what to say. After all, he had acted for her. She quietly knelt down and used the abilities of Black Abyss White Flower to heal his injuries.
"Cecilia... you, using that move takes a lot of physical strength!"
As her close friend, Theresa was also full of worry, afraid that something might happen to the white-haired beauty. If anything were to happen, she would likely never forgive herself.
"It's fine, I'm not that weak. *cough*... Let's talk about the Herrscher of the Void's situation. With this retreat, they will surely plan something new."
Siegfried's injuries from using Heavenly Fire, unsheathe, on the snow quickly healed. One had to praise the perverted capabilities of Black Abyss White Flower, though the weapon had a flaw: whoever wielded it died.
The surrounding Anti-Entropy troops also converged. Tesla and Einstein frowned as they looked at their tablets.
"These two doctors are Anti-Entropy's top minds. They will explain the Herrscher of the Void's current situation. I'll go down to rest first."
Perhaps it was due to the use of the Herrscher of Reason's core, the corrosion within him was worsening. He needed to rest thoroughly to prepare for the next battle with the Herrscher of the Void.
"Help Alliance Leader down to rest, everyone. I don't want to speak at length. The current Herrscher of the Void is in our sky, on the moon. She seems to know there are weapons there that can harm her, so she's temporarily guarding that area."
"Based on the current fluctuations, she's probably healing her wounds. The damage from 'Heavenly Fire, unsheathe' was immense. She won't be able to act for some time, so this is our opportunity. We must go to the moon and obtain the data on the Moonlight Throne. That thing is a weapon that can deal with Herrschers. If we succeed, things will become much easier."
Hearing this, the troubled expressions of everyone were somewhat relieved. Simply put, they needed to send people to the moon to obtain the data on the Moonlight Throne. A weapon from the previous era? How interesting.
While they were discussing tactics, the Herrscher of the Void opened her eyes on the moon, a hint of disdain flashing in her gaze. How dare mere humans challenge her?
She directly controlled a meteor in space and randomly hurled it towards a city. The people in that city hadn't even sensed the slightest danger.
As the meteor approached the ground, the people below finally noticed the massive object, but it was too late. The meteor crashed onto the ground with a thunderous roar.
The immense shockwave reduced the surrounding city to rubble, even creating a vast crater. Within a radius of a hundred kilometers, not a single soul survived, not a single life remained.
A few minutes before the meteor's impact, Otto of Schicksal had already known, but he did not intervene. This was exactly what he wanted. The Herrscher of the Void... she was an important part of his plan.
"Heh heh... let you cause chaos for once. You won't live long anyway..."
Crimson wine swirled in the goblet. The dark shadow cast on his face was strangely charming. One had to admit, Otto was a true man, worthy of being called the most pure-hearted.
News quickly reached the group in Babylon. Theresa stared at the message in silence. Because they failed to kill the Herrscher of the Void, nearly a million lives were lost...
"Everyone, we cannot be so passive. In every war against a Herrscher, millions die. All we can do is eliminate the Herrscher of the Void quickly to prevent such tragedies from happening again."
Tesla's words enlightened everyone. The initial plan had been tentatively decided: Siegfried and his group would travel to the moon by rocket to collect data.
However, a familiar voice echoed once more. The Herrscher of the Void, across millions of miles, spoke to all of humanity.
"Insects, I am the Herrscher of the Void. If you do not hand over Welt, the Herrscher of Reason, within a certain time, I will hurl a meteor at the Earth every two hours. The countdown begins in six hours. Surely you do not wish for all of you to die beneath a giant meteor."
Her voice was ethereal and light, yet to the tiny humans, it sounded like a demon whispering in their ears, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
"This is problematic. If the Herrscher of the Void wanted the Herrscher of Reason's core, why would she go to such lengths? Moreover, she wants the person, not the core... this means our Alliance Leader must also go."
Tesla frowned tightly. If possible, she absolutely did not want the Alliance Leader to go.
Outside, the audience held their breath. Although the dead researchers deserved their fate, the ordinary citizens crushed by the meteor did not. Yet, thinking of Sirin's experiences, everyone fell silent.
