As Chen Ran attempted to create the God-slaying spear, Schicksal also began to prepare for a total assault on the Moon.
Even Otto had to plan for this battle.
He believed that the current Sirin would not pose a threat to humans, but her existence had already deeply affected the foundational existence of Schicksal.
If Schicksal remained indifferent to the disaster of thirty million people in Siberia, why would Valkyries still obey Schicksal's commands?
Power is always bottom-up, not top-down.
Because of this, Otto agreed to cooperate with Anti-Entropy.
"Since we have discussed the plan, let's set off."
Einstein's voice was as calm as ever: "I just hope that this time, humanity's battle against Honkai will end in victory for humanity."
Herrscher Sirin was far too powerful.
At this moment, the Moonlight Throne that Anti-Entropy was building was not yet fully completed; without a Herrscher Core as the core drive, it couldn't possibly contend with the Herrscher of the Void.
However, both Anti-Entropy and humanity had their own foundations.
Even if Welt Yang had lost the Herrscher Core, he still had the ability to fight.
On the contrary, it was Schicksal that was in a difficult position.
Squad Snowwolf had refused to participate in the battle against Sirin, and Cheng Lixue had already become an S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.
Rita had also joined Schicksal, but she was not responsible for the front lines; Siegfried was missing, and no one knew where he had gone.
In other words, Otto had very few people he could mobilize.
He opened a communication line.
"My old friend, I need your help."
In this situation, he could only call for external assistance.
...
...
Two days later.
Yellowstone, North America, Anti-Entropy base.
"Oh? Lord Leader actually persuaded that old stubborn bishop from Schicksal."
In the Yellowstone base, Cocolia's voice carried a hint of mockery: "Should we say this is a plan to skin a tiger, or to drive away wolves?"
"Stop the nonsense, Cocolia, you vixen. You know how powerful that Herrscher is; hurry up and hand over all the Titans so we can transport them to the Moon."
Tesla, standing behind Einstein, scolded Cocolia.
Even though Siberia in 2000 had not been displaced.
Cocolia still reported her superior and was subsequently imprisoned by her superior.
After that, Cocolia's fate did not suffer much impact; she still joined Anti-Entropy and became a radical faction within it.
Still reckless.
But at this time, Welt Yang was injured yet insisted on attacking the Herrscher; they had to persuade Cocolia to commit all her strength.
"Herrscher Sirin can still restrain herself now, but as long as she exists on the Moon, it will be a huge bomb for Earth."
Einstein said to Cocolia: "Now is the time for both sides to put aside their grudges."
"What use is an ordinary Titan?"
Cocolia's lips curled into a hint of sarcasm: "If you want to use it, then use this."
This time, Cocolia did not refuse to cooperate with the conservatives.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked her life to come to where Welt Yang was.
Under the astonished gazes of Einstein and Tesla, a gigantic robot appeared.
MSR-7 Father.
Tesla looked at the at least twenty-meter-tall giant robot, her eyes slightly wide in shock, instinctively saying, "It's actually the Father robot; vixen, I remember this robot was always stuck at 90%."
"That's right."
Cocolia said lightly: "Due to Energy drive issues, the giant Father robot couldn't move; it was just a large toy, at least it used to be."
She smiled: "It seems you guys aren't completely ignorant of my intelligence."
"Then why..."
In Tesla's understanding, human society had no way to activate such a large robot's Energy; even the Honkai core of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast wouldn't suffice.
Unless it was powered by a Herrscher Core.
However, the Father in front of them was indeed in an activated state, no falsehood about it.
At that moment, the usually silent Welt Yang spoke: "It's a Honkai Beast."
Cocolia's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then she nodded: "Yes, my lord."
"I obtained the Honkai mutation technology from the previous civilization era through some channels. Normal Energy cannot support the massive body of the Father, let alone engage in battle. However, when the Father becomes a special artificial Honkai life, the outcome is different."
Einstein sighed, "Honkai aberration technology, no wonder."
Tesla looked at Einstein, "No wonder what?"
"Dr. Tesla may not be aware, but this is a dangerous technology from the Pre-Civilization Era," Einstein explained. "During the Pre-Civilization Era, people built giant Honkai Beasts the size of the Australian continent, known as War Gods, to combat global Honkai events."
"With the help of satellites, Honkai Beasts, and central chips, the War Gods eliminated nearly a hundred global Honkai events at that time, with all Honkai Beasts being precisely targeted."
"When this Honkai Beast appeared, it indeed provided protection for that era, but it also brought about greater disasters."
Einstein continued, "It was also after the War Gods appeared that the enemies faced by that era became more hysterical."
Cocolia sneered, "The people of that era were too greedy."
Indeed, the Honkai aberration technology she obtained was part of the technology provided by the World Serpent regarding the creation of War Gods in the Pre-Civilization Era.
The massive Father Machine, as a machine, naturally could not meet combat requirements.
But as a Honkai Beast, it was more than capable of dealing with the Herrscher.
"According to the data left by that era, the Father Machine is currently the largest artificial Honkai Beast that can be created without exacerbating the Honkai, and it is solely under my control."
This was Cocolia's reason for coming here.
The Herrscher must be eliminated; this was a consensus reached by both the radicals and conservatives.
Welt Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "I admit, this time you have indeed brought us a surprise."
"Let's deal with the Herrscher first, Lord Leader."
Cocolia waved her hand, "The Father Machine has many functions; I have compiled a document for you to familiarize yourselves with it slowly. Don't hold us back when the time comes."
"You!"
Tesla was about to get angry again, but this time Einstein stopped her.
She whispered, "Our current enemy is Sirin. Let's allow this mother fox to be proud for a while. Moreover, with the Father Machine present, the pressure on Arahato will also be reduced."
Arahato was the universal humanoid weapon designed by Tesla, capable of being manipulated to the maximum extent without breakthroughs in physics.
This was also why, even after Welt Yang lost the Herrscher Core, Anti-Entropy still had the confidence to seek out Schicksal to jointly deal with the Herrscher.
At that moment, an Anti-Entropy member ran over.
"Report, we have captured a suspicious individual."
"I've already said I voluntarily surrendered my weapons to you, not that I was captured."
A white-haired man grumbled as he was escorted over.
Everyone looked over, slightly taken aback.
It was Siegfried.
"I've come to join you in the fight against the Herrscher."
Siegfried clenched his fists and said, "Sirin has let Cecilia down; I want to bring that girl back."
…
…
"Okay, I understand."
At this moment, inside Saint Freya.
Theresa gazed out at the entire academy, with Otto's communication ringing in her ears.
"Give me a little time to arrange things at the academy; I'll be back soon."
After hanging up, she took a deep breath.
Schicksal was preparing for the battle against the Herrscher on the moon, and Theresa naturally could not be absent.
Whether it was against Sirin or for Schicksal itself, she had her reasons to participate.
And Otto would certainly not allow an S-rank Valkyrie to stay idle in the academy, especially someone as special as Theresa.
"Just can't convince Yae Sakura."
The process of dealing with the Herrscher was still a bit fast for Theresa.
But now, with the Herrscher Sirin not fully adapted to her powers, it had to be done quickly.
She first found Shigure Kira and entrusted her, "I need to leave the academy for a while; during this time, the academy and Kiana will be up to you."
Shigure Kira, being clever, asked, "Is the bishop going to launch a full-scale attack on the moon?"
"Yes, time is not on our side."
Theresa did not ask Shigure Kira to participate; she had a premonition that the hope for humanity's victory was actually slim.
Could a Herrscher who controlled multiple cores really have a chance of winning?
Theresa found it hard to imagine; if Sirin had already reached such a level, then how powerful was the Finality recorded in history?
Shigure Kira sighed, "I can't help you much; I can only wish you good luck."
"The academy can be entrusted to me; you can rest assured."
Theresa nodded, "I'll go find Yae Sakura; after that, I'll leave her in your command. She should be able to understand."
If Theresa had a little more time, she would find a way to get Yae Sakura on board to deal with the Herrscher.
But the current situation was that she had only just become familiar with Yae Sakura, and time did not allow Theresa to slowly persuade her.
So, she had to give up on a Pseudo-Herrscher as a combat force.
Shigure Kira watched Theresa's departing figure, her eyes revealing concern.
"Lady Cecilia, I hope you can help Theresa from above."
…
…
Theresa quietly left the Eastern Branch, and Saint Freya continued to operate as usual.
She did not disturb anyone.
At this time, Schicksal Headquarters had already begun gathering personnel.
"Bishop Otto, are you sure we need to deplete all A-rank Valkyries? If we do, the headquarters will have no defensive power left."
Amber suggested to Otto, and her words were overheard by Fu Hua, who was not far away.
Fu Hua had also arrived at Schicksal Headquarters.
This time, during the ground battle against the Herrscher of the Void, by the time she reached Siberia, Sirin had already flown to the moon.
So, she was unable to participate.
When Otto contacted her, she was already prepared.
Regarding Amber's words, Otto replied calmly, "Retaining any power now is a foolish act."
Even he himself had no confidence in this battle.
The moon was a hostile battlefield; even Valkyries would find it hard to adapt to the vacuum and extreme temperatures. Even the most advanced Valkyrie Armor could not last long in such an environment.
But that did not mean Valkyries were useless.
Whether it was surveying the terrain, formulating battle plans, or providing firepower, that was the role of Valkyries.
He said lightly, "Amber, I will also participate in this battle; you will command from the headquarters."
"Director Otto?"
Amber instinctively opened her mouth to stop him but was interrupted by Otto, who said, "The Squad Snowwolf members did not participate in the operation; they will be Schicksal's last strength, so you need not worry about Schicksal's safety."
"As for me, you need not worry either."
He had also equipped his body with powerful strength.
If the world were to face the threat of the Herrscher, then everything he did would also be meaningless.
He told Amber, "If I am the only one left to return, then activate the other plan."
Amber's expression became serious, "Yes, Director Otto."
She knew what Otto's other plan was.
This was a battle of humanity against the Herrscher, but if humanity could not shake the Herrscher, then Schicksal would have to create a Herrscher to shake the Herrscher.
"Take good care of Wendy and Raiden Mei; they are crucial."
In this battle, Schicksal did not allow these two to participate.
Having lost the Herrscher Core, their available power was extremely limited, even less than an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie.
This was inevitable.
However, if Herrschers were mass-produced, they would be suitable vessels for Herrschers. This was Otto's plan: to make them Herrschers again, wield special powers, and then fight the queen on the moon with new god-slaying armor.
But when that time came, the price humanity would pay would also be extremely tragic.
This marked Otto's second time lacking confidence.
The first time was when he had not yet obtained the Void Archives.
Just as Amber was about to say something, a flying vehicle from the Eastern Branch arrived.
Along with it came the leaders of various branches and elite forces.
Theresa arrived at the Third Airport with Judah and saw Otto looking solemnly at the sky.
"I won't say any motivational words, but I just hope you all understand that beneath this airport is everyone's home."
"We absolutely cannot let our home be taken away."
With a single sentence, he stirred everyone's emotions.
Then, Schicksal began to rapidly activate numerous launchers.
Almost simultaneously, in North America's Yellowstone, at the Anti-Entropy base, Welt Yang and Siegfried also set off, along with the massive Father Machine.
Cocolia directly handed over control of the Father Machine to Einstein.
"I won't participate in this battle, nor do I want to bear any responsibility. The Father Machine is yours, so you need not worry about me causing trouble from behind."
She said straightforwardly, "No matter how we differ in our methods, our ideals are the same."
Einstein was slightly taken aback but then nodded, "Thank you."
She and Tesla were indeed wary of Cocolia, but they did not expect her to choose to withdraw directly.
She felt grateful.
The massive rocket launchers began to fire, and they watched as the combat personnel departed.
The battle of humanity against the gods had begun.
…
…
Chen Ran was still unaware of Schicksal's total assault on the moon; he was cultivating Schariac's blood and preparing to create a high-concentration serum.
The God-slaying spear.
This work could be handled by an ordinary biological research institute, but it still took time.
And to extract Schariac's serum, Chen Ran had taken a long leave.
At this time, who would still bother to attend classes?
Chen Ran had always been a person who valued efficiency.
Thus, his channels of information were also blocked.
After four days, someone from the laboratory came to hurry him.
However, he had also completed the production of the God-slaying spear, and it was two copies.
"This is truly a good thing."
Although he had not yet used it personally, theoretically, it should be the only weapon against Sirin.
He waved his hand at the person from the laboratory and left with the God-slaying spear in his pocket.
However, when Chen Ran just stepped onto the street, he had a bad premonition.
At that moment, he saw Kiana stumbling towards him.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Kiana's face was pale, and he couldn't fathom how she had managed to cross the ocean alone from Saint Freya to the Far East.
She said, "I went back and attended classes normally for two days, but I didn't see Aunt Theresa. Later, when I asked Aunt Shigure Kira, I found out that Schicksal had launched a full-scale assault on the moon, and the operation started a day ago."
Chen Ran was taken aback: "No way."
"That's not the point."
Kiana took a deep breath and said, "I later flew back to Schicksal Headquarters and got news from Aunt Amber. The people who went to the moon included Bishop Otto, but there was no sign of Herrscher Sirin."
"Aunt Sirin is missing, and Schicksal, in conjunction with Anti-Entropy, has achieved nothing in the assault on the moon."
She suddenly looked at Chen Ran: "Aunt Sirin must have gone to find Mom! Do you have a way to enter the virtual space?"
Chen Ran looked into Kiana's eyes, and Kiana was also staring at him.
To be honest, this outcome was indeed beyond Chen Ran's expectations.
He had thought that, according to the convergence of fate, Sirin would engage in a fierce battle with Schicksal Headquarters, but now...
But thinking about it, if it were the current Sirin fighting Schicksal, there would be almost no hope for Schicksal to win.
So, up until now, Sirin was still on the side of humanity.
Therefore, her seizing multiple Herrscher Cores had only one purpose: to open a passage between the world and the virtual space to bring Cecilia back.
This could not have been a decision made by Herrscher Sirin, but rather a decision made by Sirin herself.
Only on the moon could she do this without being disturbed by anyone.
"What do you want to do?"
"Bring Aunt Sirin out."
Chen Ran sighed.
"Your mother has already stepped into the virtual space; that's not a place ordinary people can go."
Theoretically, Kiana could reach the virtual space now, but he also knew that he didn't have Gnius and couldn't provide Kiana with any safety guarantees.
Kiana's ability to access the virtual space and the Sea of Quanta was backed by Schicksal's powerful logistics.
And these, Chen Ran could not provide.
"You don't need to worry about these things; I will bring her back."
His system space still had spatial lenses available for use.
Kiana countered, "I must worry about these; you have a way, right?"
Chen Ran fell silent for a moment, then sighed softly.
"There is indeed another way."
