Book 5: Chapter 35:2: Born with Clothes? Not Impressed! Part 2
Ding! Capture success!
Chen Heng felt no surprise at this result—rather, he would wonder whether the Poké Ball was defective if it failed. Judging from Bella’s attitude towards Sirin, her loyalty value must be off the charts.
“Elder Brother, where are we going now?”
“Where else can we go? Of course, back to Babylon Labs. After all, that’s the only place we know here. After staying in Babylon Labs for another day, we can go home. Come, Sirin, hold on to me. I’ll bring you to Earth.”
“Alright. By the way, will that Otto cause us trouble?”
“Don’t worry. Otto can’t defeat us. What’s there to fear? Oh, right. Let me put some things in your ring first. The spatial storage of your ring is empty.”
This Mental Defense Ring was designed to defend against various mental attacks. Spatial storage was just an auxiliary function, and it had nothing in it currently.
To make things convenient for Sirin, Chen Heng placed several crates of snacks and her daily necessities—such as clothes, undergarments, and shoes—in it.
Chen Heng also threw in some miscellaneous items.
Chen Heng opened a spatial tunnel to bring Sirin and himself to Babylon Labs’s Honkai reactor. He had set a spatial node there before he left.
Sirin had expended too much Honkai Energy on the moon, so she was in a relatively weakened state. This was why Chen Heng returned to Babylon Labs.
Of course, not that only a Honkai reactor could provide Honkai Energy. Rather, absorbing Honkai Energy from a Honkai reactor was the most efficient. Since that was the case, why settle for less?
Furthermore, Chen Heng did not know about the other Honkai labs.
“Sirin, you have to train your spatial ability. Learn from your elder brother. I could return to Babylon Labs straight from the moon. Look at how efficient that is.”
“But, Elder Brother, I’m just a child.” Sirin stared at Chen Hen with her beautiful golden eyes.
“A child? Good, a child shouldn’t be wearing a ring. Return that ring to me.”
“No! Elder Brother, why do you keep thinking about taking the ring back?” Sirin protected the ring on her right hand again.
“If I recall right, that ring is actually mine, right?” Chen Heng rubbed his chin as he looked at that purple ring.
“Now that it’s on my hand, it’s mine. You are not to take it back. Do you hear me? Grrgh!” Sirin bared her teeth and growled. How cute!
“Alright, keep it. However, you need to pass it to me when I need it. This ring is extremely precious.” Chen Heng eventually succumbed to Sirin’s charm.
“That is fine.”
Chen Heng and Sirin finally reached an understanding regarding the ring.
“Urm…can you two stop ignoring me? You two must be the 2nd Herrscher and her freakish elder brother that Welt spoke about, right?”
When Chen Heng and Sirin stepped through the spatial tunnel, there had been someone standing beside the Honkai reactor. As they were focused on their conversation about the ring’s ownership, they had ignored that person.
This person had wisely not interrupted Chen Heng and Sirin.
This person had deep-blue eyes and a round, doll-like face. With her light natural curls, she would be a beautiful woman if not for her terrible hairstyle. This was Anti-Entropy’s genius scientist, Einstein.
“You’re Mophead, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Chen Heng, just a helpless supporting character.” Chen Heng extended his right hand, and Einstein politely reciprocated, extending hers.
“…I’m not going to ask why you know the nickname Tesla gave me. I’m Lieserl Albert Einstein, but you can call me Einstein. As for you being helpless…let me reserve judgment on that. After all, that was not how Welt described you.”
“May I ask where Welt is?” Chen Heng asked with a smile.
“Permit me to refuse to answer, as I can see malicious intentions behind your smile.”
“How can that be? If I harbored malicious intentions towards him, could he have returned alive?”
“Then what is the truth?” Only a fool would believe Chen Heng. Einstein detected deep malice in his smile.
“He dared to call me freakish? I think he must have had it too easy for too long. I don’t mind turning Sirin into a six-core Herrscher.” Chen Heng spoke extremely ruthless words in an extremely gentle tone.
“…You mean your younger sister already has five Herrscher Cores?”
“Is there a problem?”
“…” There’s a big problem, alright? Just how much time has passed? Welt already could not deal with her when she only had the Herrscher of the Void’s powers. Now, there are four more Herrscher Cores?
“May I ask what your purpose is in returning to Babylon Labs?”
“Don’t you already know the answer? Of course, it is for the Honkai reactor. Due to circumstances, my younger sister expended a significant amount of her Honkai Energy. We are here to replenish it. At the same time, we plan on staying here for another day or two. You have no objections, right?”
“Babylon Labs is not Anti-Entropy’s territory, so our opinions don’t matter. Rather, you should ask the masters of this place, Siegfried or Theresa Apocalypse.”
Einstein cleverly shifted the responsibility to Siegfried and Theresa. Although she knew that Sirin—the Herrscher of the Void—had overdrawn on her Honkai Energy, she had no intention of doing anything about it.
As the inventor of the atomic bomb, Einstein had a deep understanding of an atomic bomb’s might. This man before her could clash head-on with an atomic bomb. He was not someone Anti-Entropy’s forces in Babylon Labs could handle.
Furthermore, while Anti-Entropy and Schicksal temporarily allied, the reason for their alliance was gone; this alliance was just in name now. Hence, Einstein did not mind causing some trouble for Schicksal.
“Schicksal? I’ve already given them face by not turning all the brains of Babylon Labs’s Schicksal members to mush. Get their permission?” Chen Heng could speak calmly to Einstein because he had a good impression of Anti-Entropy. All other things aside, its members were sincere in their wish to deal with the Honkai. Just look at Welt; he was even willing to sacrifice his life.
However, the fact they attacked his younger sister upset him a little.
As for Schicksal? Schicksal owed Sirin a lot—sacrificing a few Otto clones would not be enough to make up for it.
However, Sirin had truly been very ruthless, slaughtering everyone in Babylon Labs.
Of course, Chen Heng did not blame the Valkyries for Sirin’s suffering; Schicksal’s Valkyries were innocent.
“Since this Babylon Labs does not belong to your Anti-Entropy, Sirin and I will temporarily occupy it for now. You have no objections, right? Sirin, remember to absorb more Honkai Energy and nourish your body.”
