Book 5: Chapter 36:1: Demon-Subduing Lightning Dragon Ritual Array, Part 1

“Got it, Elder Brother. I’m absorbing it now,” Sirin said, lounging on a chair she had taken from her spatial storage while sipping fruit juice.

“Our Anti-Entropy has no objections, but I’m uncertain about Schicksal.”

“If they dare to object, just send them to me. I’ll convince them with reason.”

“He whose fist is larger is the voice of reason?”

“I must say, a professor is a professor. You are indeed smart.”

“2nd Herrscher and her elder brother, what are you doing in Babylon Labs?” When Siegfried heard that Chen Heng and Sirin had returned to Babylon Labs and remained by the Honkai reactor, he rushed over with Theresa, who had just awakened.

“Hey! It’s the shorty! It’s been a while. Long time no see. What’s wrong? Do I need to seek your opinion when I come to Babylon Labs?”

Now, Chen Heng sat on a lounge chair similar to Sirin’s, sipping fruit juice of the same brand. He paid no mind to Siegfried and Theresa.

“Who are you calling shorty?” Theresa glared at Chen Heng, standing with arms akimbo.

“If I recall right, you should be 20 already, right? Nevertheless, you are only 145 centimeters tall. If you are not a shorty, who is? Look at my younger sister; she is already 155 centimeters.”

“Oh! She is already over 20? So, she is an old aunty?” Sirin appeared stunned. She initially thought Theresa was her contemporary. Unexpectedly, Theresa was already over 20.

“This is infuriating! You are too much! Oath of…”

“Wait! Theresa, don’t do anything yet.” Standing behind Theresa, Siegfried stopped her from using the Oath of Judah.

First, Siegfried had found no injuries after he brought Theresa back for examination. She only remained unconscious for a while before waking up on her own. Second, he did not think Schicksal’s combat forces in Babylon Labs could defeat these two.

For these reasons, he decided that, as an adult, he could not be as rash as Theresa.

“That’s right. What’s with all the fighting and killing the moment we meet? I don’t have enmity towards you. Want some fruit juice?” Chen Heng took out another cup of fruit juice and proffered it to Theresa.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Would I casually accept food from an enemy?” Theresa had no intention of taking the fruit juice Chen Heng extended. Although she looked 12, she was a seasoned warrior.

“What about this bitter gourd juice?” Chen Heng put away the fruit juice and took out a cup of bitter gourd juice.

Theresa hesitated for a while. Initially, she did not want to take it, but for some reason, the cup of bitter gourd juice smelled increasingly fragrant as time went by. Eventually, she took the bitter gourd juice from Chen Heng’s hand. “…Since you are sincere in trying to mend our relationship, I shall reluctantly accept.”

Reality proved that Theresa was the same old Theresa who could not resist the temptation of bitter gourd juice. If one failed to tempt her, it only meant the temptation was inadequate or the bitter gourd juice was not authentic enough.

It is not that I—Theresa—did not try hard enough. Rather, the enemy’s bitter gourd juice smells too fragrant! Right! That’s it!

Indeed, that was the case. Chen Heng had spent one point to buy this cup of bitter gourd juice. Given that such tangible items were extremely cheap in the Dimension Administrators Association, one point was quite expensive.

“…Hah…,” Siegfried sighed deeply from behind Theresa. It looks like I am too inexperienced, holding such expectations of Theresa. However, he did not stop her from accepting the bitter gourd juice.

She’s a child. I should be more tolerant.

“Then might I ask what the 2nd Herrscher and her elder brother are doing in Babylon Labs?”

“Didn’t Einstein tell you? We are merely interested in Babylon Labs’s Honkai reactor. At the same time, we plan on staying here for a few days. If you have issues, please contain yourselves.”

“…Aren’t you worried we will attack you? Although Schicksal does not have much of a combat force in Babylon Labs, headquarters can send reinforcements in a day or two.”

“That is great. Quickly send people over. Do you know why I’m not attacking you? I have a deal with a person not to cause too much harm to human civilization. However, you cannot blame me for retaliating if you attack me. I have the right to defend myself, after all.”

Once I kill all my enemies, no one can hurt me.

Siegfried could not decide on this matter. He needed to check with Schicksal’s Overseer, Otto.

When Siegfried made to leave, Chen Heng recalled something. “Ah! That’s right. Just a friendly reminder: don’t bother sending any Valkyrie lower than S-Ranked. That’s just simply sending people to die.”

“What do you mean?” Siegfried felt slightly startled. Then he turned around to get an answer from Chen Heng.

“What do I mean? Just look at the sky outside. Don’t you see any subtle changes?”

Siegfried exchanged looks with Einstein at the side. Then they walked a few steps into the corridor and looked out the window to check the sky outside Babylon Labs.

“The clouds in the sky seem darker than previously,” Einstein concluded after some observation.

“Then send a drone or Titan out to find out what happened. You’d best not send a Valkyrie or anyone like that, though.” Chen Heng did not explain what had happened. Instead, he left them to find out for themselves.

“Professor Tesla, please send an autonomous Titan out from Babylon Labs.” Einstein called Tesla on a communicator. Currently, Tesla had control over the Titans.

“Ah! Mophead, is something wrong with you? Why did you ask me to do that all of a sudden?”

“Just do it, and you will know.”

“Alright, alright. You don’t even give me a reason, but you want me to do it…. A Titan will depart after 30 seconds.” Although Tesla grumbled, she still acceded to Einstein’s request.
