"Is there still no response from headquarters?" Jiang Zhengge looked at Lin Chen.

“No,” Lin Chen shook his head. “I tried several frequencies, but there was no response.”

"What about Hua Molan's frequency band?"

"I tried, but it didn't work." Lin Chen shook his head.

Just then, a bright light caught everyone's attention.

Lin Chen looked up and saw a small fireball streaking across the night sky, flying towards the heavens.

The object's trajectory was strange; it was clearly neither a star nor a normal aircraft.

That thing...

More like a person.

While Lin Chen was puzzled, Jiang Zhengge found a connection in some top-secret files he had read before.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he murmured softly:

"We must return to headquarters and, in any case, establish contact with the main force immediately."

"Old Jiang, what's that?" Lucy asked softly.

“That’s my eldest brother.”

As Jiang Zhengge spoke, he walked toward the giant glass screen.

"He's back."

......

Inside the orbital core, Xileina opened her eyes and found herself floating among a pile of scrap metal.

She took a deep breath, straightened her posture, and slowly lowered herself to the center of the platform.

tide Lena gently pressed her hand to her chest, feeling the hot breath flowing through her respiratory tract.

That was a powerful force she had never felt before.

That power seemed completely beyond the capacity of her body to contain, as if a wild beast was roaring in her heart, trying to tear apart the cage of her skin.

At the same time, her mind was also burning intensely.

Xilena understood that after Katrina's death, she had completely become the new Katrina.

This kind of power is absolutely beyond the comprehension of mortals.

"..."

tide Lena struggled to float to a corner of the hall, opened a storage box on the wall, and took out a large-caliber revolver.

An RSH-12, the revolver that Jiang Zhengge often used.

Xilena flung open the magazine, checked the six whale-sound grenades inside, and then slammed it into the magazine.

Enduring the madness that drove her to want to destroy everything, Xileina pressed the gun to her chest and used her willpower to shut down the Azure Coating.

She wanted to kill herself.

Once she dies, Katrina will be gone from the world.

No matter how long it takes for the next Katrina to appear, it will be enough for humanity to walk through the gaps in the hurricanes until they are no longer afraid.

Is such a vision possible? Xileina didn't know.

That's all she can do.

"...!"

Just as Xileina pulled the trigger, her finger suddenly froze.

"...!"

tide Lena struggled to lift her head. At that moment, a piece of scrap metal floated past her, and through the blurry white paint, she saw her own eyes.

Her eyes were stained with gold.

Almost simultaneously, the space station's announcement sounded:

"Authorized units have entered the main star platform..."

"Identify ID... Eldest brother."

"Welcome back to Black Star."

......

Epilogue: Tonight, the tide will recede.

"Om..."

The hatch slowly opened, and the demigod slowly walked into the core module.

He wore a black robe of Dararis with thirty-three buttons embroidered with gold patterns, and a gold cross pendant hung on his chest.

If outsiders didn't see his golden eyes, they would probably only think of him as a high-ranking clergyman, rather than a demigod who inspires fear.

The eldest brother, the representative of the loving father.

In the weightless environment, he walked steadily along the floor, step by step toward Xileina, who was suspended in the corner of the cabin.

“Amen, truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will also be bound in heaven.”

The eldest brother walked up to tide Leina and looked down at the girl who looked pained.

“Matthew 18:18a,” he murmured softly, “I planted the seed of faith in you the moment you were brought back by Triton. You are nothing more than a tool.”

"You think that by escaping here, you can break free from the Foundation's control?"

“You have failed,” Xilena said with a bitter smile. “Most of the emotional deposits that settled in near-Earth orbit... were used to kill Katrina. You can’t find God.”

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother frowned, opened the Bible he carried with him, and tapped a few times on the LCD screen.

After confirming that Xileina was telling the truth, he sighed softly:

"You are wasting our time."

The next second, Xileina saw a fist coming straight at her, accompanied by intense pain.

"Uh..."

Her vision went black, and she was plunged into endless darkness.

"Om..."

“I saw a white horse appear, the rider holding a bow, and gave him a crown.”

"He sets out like a victor, and he will surely win every battle."

When Xileina awoke again, she found herself suspended in the center of the core module.

To be precise, it was hanging upside down.

Golden ropes extended from every corner of the hall, binding her limbs and rendering her completely immobile.

The eldest brother was standing in a corner of the hall, repeatedly typing on the electronic Bible.

Noticing tide Lena's gaze, he looked up, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“How astonishing,” he said. “The ancient Mother of Fear was murdered by an ordinary Gypsy woman. I must say, what you have done is truly a great feat.”

“Of course,” Xileina forced a smile, “After all… I did stop you…”

"Is that so?"

The eldest brother smiled.

“Even if I didn’t mark you, your mind wouldn’t be able to withstand the immense power of the identity of ‘Mother of Fear’. In the end, you will eventually break down into an abnormal entity.”

“There is indeed a lot of emotional deposits in near-Earth orbit, but compared to the emotional deposits that the ‘mother of fear’ can attract… it’s just a drop in the ocean.”

"So, once we successfully contain you... the Black Star platform won't be able to launch again for long."

The eldest brother gave Xileina a wicked smile:

"First, we destroy the enemy, starting with those demons in the White House."

"Then, with your help, we can calculate the target more accurately and find out where Sodom is."

“Thank you, Katrina, you have made outstanding contributions to the F Council,” the elder brother said as he walked up to Xileina. “I really want to hug you, but the timing is not right. After all, you will soon no longer be yourself, will you?”

After he finished speaking, he noticed that tide Leina was laughing.

"Hehe... Hahahaha..."

The girl chuckled softly, her deep blue eyes flashing rapidly.

“You’re so arrogant,” she laughed, almost maniacally. “You Catholics… always think you’re serving the real God… ha ha ha ha…”

Almost simultaneously, an alarm sounded from the space station:

"Warning: High-speed flying object is approaching."

The eldest brother turned his head and looked outside the cabin, and saw a meteorite approaching!

No! That's not a meteorite! It's a mountain that was uprooted from the ground by a powerful hurricane and then pushed into near-Earth orbit by the gale!

That was Xileina's all-out attack!

The space station's active defense system relentlessly bombarded the mountain, but only left insignificant marks on it.

"boom!!!!"

At the moment of impact, the eldest brother was thrown to the ground, and the entire space station shook violently.

He flipped himself up and saw that Xileina had already broken free of the golden ropes and was floating in the air—

"boom!!!"

A raging wind swept in, pounding against the elder brother's body and knocking him to the ground.

His blood boiled, and bubbles kept rising from his body, bursting one after another.

“Merciful Father,” the elder brother murmured, “please guide me…”

The next second, an aged voice rang in his ears:

"She will be weak in five seconds."

The eldest brother gripped the Bible tightly, closed his eyes, and silently counted to five.

As he counted to the fifth second, Xileina coughed violently twice, and the wind weakened for a fleeting moment.

Seizing this moment of weakness, the eldest brother suddenly stood up, his figure trailing a golden light as he appeared before Xileina—

"boom!"

He swung the Bible and smashed it into Xileina's face like a brick, making the girl groan in pain.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the eldest brother suddenly thrust out his palm—

It pierced Xileina's chest!

"Pfft!"

tide Lena's pupils trembled as she saw her heart being ripped out by her elder brother.

The blood vessels in her heart were still connected to her body, and the intense pain nearly made her faint.

"Ugh..."

"You actually managed to briefly break free from the shackles of 'faith' through sheer willpower," the elder brother chuckled softly at the dazed Xileina. "You're a little bit stronger than your imposter brother..."

"But now, it's time to say goodnight..."

“tide Lena Boswell”.

Then, in front of Xileina...

Her eldest brother crushed her heart.

"Pfft."

When he opened his hand again, a golden heart replaced Xileina's original heart.

The heart flew back into her chest cavity, and her flesh and blood healed rapidly, the wound disappearing.
