Inside Babylon Tower, the battle between two Herrschers was on the verge of breaking out.
The Titan mechs carrying the two doctors had already left Babylon Tower. Neither Sirin nor Bella had any intention of stopping them.
"Joachim, will you win?" Tesla's worried voice came through the earpiece into Welt Yang's ears.
"I will win. Carrying the name of Welt, I absolutely cannot lose." Gripping the Star of Eden, Welt stared at Sirin floating in the air, his face full of caution.
"You are the challenger!" Sirin waved her hand. Countless Subspace Lances appeared behind her. These Subspace Lances flashed with heart-palpitating cold light. Their extremely sharp tips pointed straight at Welt not far away, as if they would shoot toward him like a storm in the next second.
At the same time, on the other side…
"Aba aba aba aba…" In the dim KTV private room, the sonic weapon continued to release its power. Shun, who had made a sacrifice for the greater good, felt as if he had already seen heaven.

Originally, in Shun's view, as long as it was a beautiful girl with a nice voice, even if nine out of ten lines of the song were off-key, it would still be tolerable because of the pleasant voice.
Just like Nero and Dragon Girl from the neighboring FGO — although described as sounding like sonic weapons, merely being off-key was nowhere near unbearable.
But… Shigure Kira was different. She had achieved an unprecedented feat in the ACG field, making Shun feel that even a beautiful girl could sound extremely unpleasant when singing, like hearing the whispers of an ancient god.
After one song ended, Shigure Kira turned her head and looked at Shun, who still had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. It looked like he was entranced by the singing, but in reality, he had been gone for quite a while.
"Little Shun, little Shun, how was it?" Shigure Kira looked at Shun expectantly, wanting to hear words of praise from his mouth.
Only then did Shun come back to his senses. He clapped his hands vigorously and said, "It was so beautiful, simply heavenly…"
Naturally, Shigure Kira was very happy after hearing Shun's words. For the first time, her singing had been praised like this.
"Little Shun, I'm so touched. For you, I'll sing a few more songs…"
In the dim environment of the KTV, Shigure Kira did not notice that when she said this, Shun sitting beside her looked as if he had been suddenly struck by an invisible lightning bolt. His face instantly turned deathly pale, as if all color had drained away.
This is hell… I want to create a world without Shigure Kira's singing!
Just as Shigure Kira was about to respond to her little fan's expectations and continue showing off her singing voice, a piercing phone ring broke the silence in the KTV.
"Mm, it's… I'll come over right away… Goodbye." After hanging up the phone, Shigure Kira looked at Shun with some disappointment.
"Little Shun, it looks like I won't be able to continue singing for you today…"
"Kira Sister, did something happen?" Something that could make Shigure Kira suddenly become serious as if she had received a mission — what had happened was already self-evident.
"It's the Second… Anyway, something urgent came up on my side. I'll contact your Sister Theresa again to see if she has time… No, Theresa is an S-rank Valkyrie. She must be even busier."
Shun remained silent. It had not been easy for Shigure Kira to stop thinking about sending him to the rear. If she really couldn't find anyone to take care of him and directly sent him away, then wouldn't all the demonic sound brainwashing he had endured for so long have been in vain?
"Kira Sister, can I continue to stay by your side? Don't worry, I won't make any noise."
"Take you to the command center?" Shigure Kira was stunned for a moment. Her main responsibility was to protect this child's safety. If there was any place that was the safest, the command center would definitely be at the top of the list. However… bringing a child there?
Shigure Kira slightly bent her knees and slowly squatted down, bringing herself to the same eye level as Shun. Her delicate face was extremely serious at this moment. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Shun as her red lips parted slightly. She said, "Little Shun, can you promise me that you will behave and listen obediently from now on?"
Although Shigure Kira was still just a young girl in her late teens, as one of Schicksal's only six A-rank Valkyries, her status was very high. Even if she brought Shun to the command room, no one would dare say anything.
But the premise was that Shun would not cause any trouble for her. However, from their interactions during this period, Shun had always performed very well — not to mention that he was her only fan.
Shun nodded and said earnestly, "Don't worry, Kira Sister. I'm very obedient…"
Shigure Kira brought Shun to the front-line combat command center. As the former combat commander of the Snow Wolf Squad, Shigure Kira had spent most of her time doing this job even after the Snow Wolf Squad was disbanded.
In other words, this place was perhaps the most well-informed location in Schicksal aside from the Bishop's office.
After being brought here by Shigure Kira, Shun consciously found a corner to squat in and thought to himself, "I really came to the right place."
"Report. The Second Herrscher's Honkai energy reaction has appeared near Babylon Tower…"
"Report…" One after another, reports kept coming to Shun's ears. The latest information about Sirin continuously reached him.
Sirin went to Babylon Tower? But he remembered that in this world, Sirin did not have the experience of being captured and taken to Babylon Tower as a test subject.
Why had things come full circle and returned there again? Was this the so-called corrective force of fate? But Shun was not Sirin. Other than knowing that Sirin had gone there on her own initiative, he knew nothing else.
"Report. The First Herrscher's Honkai energy reaction has also appeared near Babylon Tower…"
"Where is Lady Cecilia? How far away is she?"
"Sorry, Lady Cecilia is still four hundred kilometers from the destination. Lord Siegfried and the other members of the Snow Wolf Squad are also quite a distance away from Babylon Tower."
"Not good… Lady Shigure Kira, the First Herrscher and the Second Herrscher have started fighting!" A Valkyrie in the command center suddenly exclaimed.
"They've started fighting?" Shun subconsciously stood up. He suddenly had a bad premonition. Thinking of a certain negotiation breakdown master's battle record… Could it be that Sirin had already decided to destroy humanity?
Welt Yang fell heavily onto the vast, boundless snowy plain of Siberia. The freshly fallen snow was smashed into a deep crater by his body. Crimson blood gushed out from him, rapidly soaking into the pure white snow, forming shocking red plum blossoms. At this moment, he had already lost his lower body. Only half of his torso remained, helplessly slumped on the ground.
Just moments ago, when he had gone all out to prepare to unleash the Star of Eden's Zeroth Rated Power — Pseudo-Black Hole — against Sirin, a spatial slash as sharp as lightning had come whistling without warning! This slash had pierced through his body at astonishing speed and power, mercilessly cutting him in half at the waist.
There was no doubt that Welt Yang was a formidable opponent. If it weren't for the fact that her spatial Authority almost completely countered the Herrscher of Reason, Sirin would still have had to pay a considerable price to win against him.
"Admirable. First Herrscher Welt, I'm afraid I will never forget you for the rest of my life." Sirin looked at the dying formidable enemy before her, a trace of admiration unconsciously appearing in her tone.
