People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

The Valkyrie captain looked tense. The unease she had been feeling all along finally exploded at this moment, making her realize that this was a terrible trap.

Just as she was about to give the order to check on Kiana and Raiden Mei's condition—

"Boom!"

Suddenly, astonishing purple lightning erupted from Raiden Mei, who was lying on the ground in the distance.

The power of the Herrscher of Thunder began to emerge from her body once again, and this time the speed of the Herrscher's transformation was much faster than before, as if it had been directly catalyzed!

"boom!"

Terrifying lightning bolts pierced the air, creating a purple storm.

The lightning bolts pierced through everything, paralyzing all the Valkyries present.

"!!!"

The Valkyries were clearly taken aback by the chaotic situation, and each of them wore a bewildered and incredulous expression.

And what's worse.

Raiden Mei wasn't the only one experiencing this terrifying change; Kiana's golden light also became increasingly dazzling, and the power spreading from her body became increasingly difficult to control!

Both of the Herrscher girls are transforming into Herrschers at an extremely rapid pace!

This is undoubtedly part of the World Serpent Organization's Stigmata Project!

……

Reverse entropy distribution.

Bronya slowly awoke from her coma, feeling as if she had just had a terrible dream.

In her dream, she was sinking deeper and deeper into a dark abyss.

No matter what, I couldn't stop myself from falling endlessly, and I felt my consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, experiencing a pain like drowning.

Just as she felt despair and her consciousness was about to completely dissipate, a warm feeling suddenly enveloped her body from the outside in, freeing her consciousness from the endless sinking.

"Well……"

As consciousness gradually returned, Bronya opened her eyes in a daze.

She found that her chest was being pressed down at a steady pace, while at the same time she felt a strange, incredibly soft touch on her lips, and a large amount of air was being pumped into her at a certain speed.

What is this doing?

Is it...

"Cough cough... cough cough cough!!"

In an instant, a strange, electric-like sensation swept through Bronya's mind. The moment she realized her situation, Bronya began to struggle desperately, and her originally bloodless pale face suddenly flushed crimson.

"Are you awake?"

Ron noticed that Bronya had regained consciousness and immediately stopped CPR and artificial respiration.

"I...I am..."

Bronya was, after all, a rational person. After the intense confusion and shyness, she quickly made some guesses about the situation and instinctively spoke up.

"Bronya, thank goodness, you're alive!" Rosalia rushed over immediately upon seeing this and clung to Bronya like an octopus.

When Cocolia and Lilia saw the girl regain her senses, they both showed excited expressions and felt genuine joy at this scene.

"I'm alive?" Bronya realized something upon seeing this. "So Bronya almost died just now..."

"Yes, thank goodness this doctor saved you!" Rosalia nodded excitedly. "I thought he was just joking about healing, but I didn't expect him to be so strong... Not only is he good at fighting, but he's also incredibly good at healing. This doctor is simply superhuman!"

"Cough cough!"

Cocolia immediately reminded Rosalia of her choice of words, not wanting her to anger Ron.

Ron naturally didn't care about this; he wouldn't make a big deal out of a little girl.

Moreover, there is something even more important to him now—

In the distance of Changkong City, a violent Honkai energy was gradually condensing like a storm, and it had clearly taken full shape!

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Dr. Ron, do you intend to make an enemy of Dr. Mebius?

What happened there!?

In the instant when the Honkai almost materialized, Cocolia, Bronya, and others also noticed this astonishing sight.

After all, in Changkong City at this moment, the intense Honkai energy was almost visible to the naked eye. The vast and terrifying energy spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed, like a storm.

Most importantly, everyone felt a kind of primal, almost biological, tremor at that moment, and the terrifying aura made people afraid to even raise their heads.

"Has the Herrscher descended...?"

Ron frowned.

He realized that during the time he was saving Bronya, one or both of Raiden Mei and Kiana were beginning to transform into Herrschers under the influence of some external force.

This is undoubtedly a man-made disaster, most likely a conspiracy by the World Snake Organization.

"Hopefully, no old friends will get involved..."

Although he knew he would most likely encounter some old acquaintances in World Serpent, Ron still didn't want to make enemies with them so soon if he could.

As he pondered these thoughts, Cocolia also experienced a multitude of complex emotions.

After a long internal struggle, she finally sighed helplessly and said, "Bronya, Rosalia, Lilia, let's leave this city."

"Cocolia's mother, are we no longer going to compete for the Herrscher?"

Rosalia spoke in surprise.

Bronya and Lilia also looked surprised, clearly not expecting Cocolia to abandon her plan so readily.

“What happens next is beyond our control…” Cocolia said, glancing at Ron, “It’s better to leave now than to put you in danger again…”

"The right choice."

Realizing that Cocolia had learned her lesson from what had happened, Ron nodded.

Changkong City has now become the experimental ground for the World Serpent. Even Destiny may not be able to resolve this crisis, let alone people like them who oppose entropy.

Leaving is the best option.

Of course, although Cocolia was determined to leave with the children, Ron obviously wouldn't just leave like that. In order to complete his mission, he had to go and save Raiden Mei and Kiana.

"Doctor..." Bronya suddenly appeared in front of Ron before leaving.

"What? Do you need some medical advice?" Ron didn't pay attention to Bronya's expression and calmly said, "Your illness isn't anything difficult to treat. Just exercise more, drink more water, and don't eat spicy or pungent foods until you recover. It's best to go to the nearby hospital for follow-up examinations, and there won't be any problems."

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing Ron rattle off a long list of standard medical instructions, Bronya quickly tried to memorize them.

But the next second, she suddenly realized what she was doing and quickly said, "No, no, Bronya didn't come here to hear medical advice. I wanted to thank you."

"thank?"

Ron glanced at Bronya and noticed a strange blush creeping onto her almost expressionless face, clearly embarrassed by what she was doing.

“Alright, I understand.” Ron silently accepted the other party’s gratitude. “If you really want to thank me, I recommend that you visit St. Freya Academy later.”

St. Freya Academy?

Bronya was completely bewildered when she heard Ron use unfamiliar words. She vaguely remembered that this was a Valkyrie Academy under the control of Schicksal.

But why send yourself to an academy that trains Valkyries?

Meanwhile, Ron didn't say much.

After all, he brought this up purely for his own professional mission, hoping that the other party could join St. Freya Academy smoothly as before...

In short, after completing the basic exchange and receiving thanks once again, Ron and Cocolia officially parted ways.

Just as Ron was about to head to the center of the Honkai energy vortex, a strange figure wearing a black cloak and carrying a black umbrella suddenly appeared in front of him.

"..."

In contrast to Ron's wariness, the figure in black spoke calmly:

"Hello, Dr. Ron, time flies. It's been fifty thousand years since we last met."

"Grey snake?"

Ron looked at the creature in front of him, which was almost half mechanical, with a hint of surprise on his face, but also a sense of not being surprised at the same time.

In the pre-civilization era, he had seen many things so bizarre that they were almost incomprehensible.

In their struggle to overcome the Honkai, humanity has almost completely distorted civilization, creating all the scientific and technological inventions in the most extreme forms, giving birth to a series of bizarre individuals such as Fusion Warriors, Divine Keys, and Prometheus.

Among them, Möbius, as a synonym for mad scientist, created a series of bizarre phenomena that are difficult to describe in words.

The gray snake is one of them.

As a byproduct of the armed puppet experiment, Gray Serpent was initially just a rudimentary mechanical creation, lacking even artificial intelligence. It was thrown into the destruction pool by Mebius shortly after its creation.

Mebius, Dr. Mei, and even Ron didn't pay much attention to this ordinary mechanical creation. However, to their surprise, the next day they discovered that even though more than 80% of its organic matter had been corroded, the Gray Serpent was not only still alive, but had also undergone an astonishing evolution...

Although that level of evolution was quite primitive, not even qualifying as insect-like, this concept, which is beyond human comprehension, still attracted the attention of many scientists.

Ron and Mebius then engaged in a lengthy discussion and debate about the evolutionary mechanism of the gray serpent, and the resulting extensive research laid the foundation for the creation of Prometheus.

Of course, the gray snake itself also evolved further in the process, not only gaining full intelligence, but also possessing a near-immortal mind.

Later, as the difficulty of the previous civilization fighting against the Honkai increased, neither Mebius nor Ron paid any more attention to the Gray Serpent's situation, until the end of the civilization and the arrival of the end...

Upon seeing the other party again, Ron was almost certain that this was the Honkai world he had once visited!

From this, we can infer that although he defeated the End back then, for some unknown reason, everything has started a new cycle!

"..."

While Ron was lost in thought about all this, Grey Serpent kept his eyes on him, maintaining a respectful and reverent attitude.

“Dr. Ron, as one of the three creators we respect most, we have always held you in the highest esteem,” Gray Serpent said earnestly, enunciating each word clearly. “However, everything in Changkong City today is extremely important to us and to the world. Could you please refrain from interfering with our experiments?”

"What do you think?"
