There, she received divine revelation and greater power.
God gave me a crown
Using lightning as a bow and arrow
"God has given me authority"
Riding the endless storm
King of Desire
"God gave me a brocade robe"
Wine for the Dead
"God gave me a sword"
Immortal flames enveloping
"King of Plagues"
On the moon, Sirin, who possesses five Herrscher cores, hurled meteorites at Earth.
During this time, in order to better control the power of the Herrscher, she frantically studied the knowledge left behind by the previous civilization on the lunar ruins and knowledge related to the Herrscher.
In the end, she sent an electromagnetic signal back to Earth.
"Meet me on the Moon, First Herrscher."
"If they don't come, I will send four meteorites to Earth every 72 hours."
For two hours after receiving the message, Walter, lying in his hospital bed, said nothing.
Just when Siegfried was at his wits' end, Walter finally spoke.
"Hey, Siegfried."
"I'm getting ready to go to the moon. But before that, I need your help with something..."
"Please contact Bishop Otto for me; I need to discuss something with him."
January 9, 2000.
16:03, the guest room of the main church in the Tower of Babylon.
Walter and the others were already waiting there.
Click...click...
Time passed by minute by minute.
Finally, the Bishop of Destiny, Otto Apocalypse, arrived.
"It's been a long time, Dr. Einstein." He held a glass of red wine and walked into the reception room unhurriedly. "And Mr. Walter, the leader of Anti-Entropy. Speaking of which, how many times have we met now?"
“Oh, right.” He suddenly approached.
"I heard that you were seriously injured in the previous battle, Mr. Walter."
"I have some medical knowledge, which might be of some help to you."
"Enough, Otto!" Welt couldn't stand Otto's pretentious act any longer. "Stop these pointless tests. If you want to know if I still have the power of a Herrscher, I can prove it to you right now."
A dark red arc of electricity flashed—that was the power of the Herrscher.
“It seems Mr. Welt has misunderstood.” Otto stepped back, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that not a single drop of red wine had spilled from his hand. “Faced with the threat of the Second Herrscher, we should turn enemies into friends.”
The man maintained control of the conversation throughout.
"Let's not waste time, Bishop, let's begin the meeting." Einstein unfolded the information in his hand.
During the meeting, Einstein mentioned knowledge about sealed Honkai energy existing on the moon.
Their plan was to have Destiny use Welt alone to collect Soul Steel samples while Welt was attracting the attention of the Herrschers.
For Otto, who coveted the power of the Herrschers—
"This is the deal that will be most beneficial to you."
Upon learning the details of Walter's plan, Otto suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha...hahahaha—"
"...Excuse me, I understand. We'll proceed according to your plan."
“I promise I won’t interfere with your plans, and I’ve ordered Siegfried to do everything he can to help you.” He put down the wine in his hand, which he hadn’t drunk much of. “I never expected you would go to such lengths to save the lives of those ants.”
His emerald green eyes looked at Walter.
"Indeed, a worthy opponent. I apologize for my previous rudeness."
"Your Excellency... Walter II."
There are 66 hours and 25 minutes left until the meteorite falls.
Chapter 28 The Last Dance
January 10, 2000.
Yellowstone, USA, is a base for anti-entropy.
After his meeting with Otto, Walter sought out Siegfried.
Following Walter, they arrived at a mysterious warehouse.
The Thunder Dragon Horse was already waiting here.
Siegfried and Walter entered the warehouse together.
Siegfried was incredibly surprised as he stared at the handsome and familiar giant robot before him.
"this is……!"
"Alahato!!!"
"This... Alahato actually exists... Isn't it a robot from an anime?"
Walter responded to this.
"Alahato is a general-purpose humanoid weapon designed by Dr. Tesla. It is currently undergoing final adjustments to adapt to the combat environment on the moon."
"Those animations were made to raise funds for the production of Alahatto."
"Idiot Kiana."
"Hehe~ Instead of staying silent, you chose to mock me right away?"
"By the way, my favorite line is..." Siegfried mimicked the animation he remembered, raising his left hand, "...the 87 version, the last episode, 'Tyrant of the heavens! Behold what it looks like when the stars shatter!'"
Walter was taken aback when he heard this.
Memories surfaced in his mind.
Walter closed his eyes, but a slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
There are 5 hours and 50 minutes left until launch.
Dr. Tesla is conducting a final inspection of Alahatto.
"Replace the parts in Alahatto's knee immediately. Then repeat the stress test! No slacking off!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts and commands.
"Dr. Tesla..."
"Leader... what are you doing here?" Tesla didn't turn around; his back was to Walter.
"How did your talk with that barbarian go?"
“I’ve already told Siegfried the whole plan. Now… it’s up to him to decide.”
"...I see..."
"By the way, before going to the moon,"
Tesla clenched her fist silently, as if she had made up her mind.
“Do you remember when you were little,” she turned to Walter, looking at him with deep affection, “you said you'd dance with me when you grew up?”
There are 4 hours and 50 minutes left until launch.
Sunlight streamed through the glass and fell on the piano.
How long has it been since I last touched a piano...?
Walter remembers that he loved it when he was a child and kept begging Ein to teach him...
Sometimes he would imagine what kind of person he would be if he weren't Walter…maybe a pianist, a teacher, or…
However, ever since I acquired the name Walter…
She lost her father, lost the hero who saved her, lost her original identity, and lost her life...
The Herrscher's power tore apart every cell in his body; every night of his childhood, he couldn't sleep...
He never harbored resentment, because this was Walter's mission.
Moreover, when I was in pain...
The door opened, and Walter turned to look. There, Tesla, unusually dressed in a skirt, was gazing at him affectionately.
Her slightly flushed face was filled with a young girl's shyness.
Under the sunlight, Joachim sincerely extended a youthful invitation to her.
“Miss Tesla,” Joachim knelt on one knee and extended his right hand to Tesla, “would you please dance with me?”
"Don't disappoint me," Tesla said, slightly lifting her skirt as she accepted his invitation.
With graceful, swirling steps, Joachim and Tesla's true feelings intertwined.
After becoming Walter...
I have lost a lot, but I have never regretted it.
Because you have shown me the beauty of humanity. This beauty is worth protecting with everything I have.
On the Star Train, before anyone could react, Xing looked left and right, and then suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of March 7, imitating Walter's appearance in the light screen.
"Miss March 7th, may I have this dance?"
Suddenly, a gun tapped her on the head.
"Ouch! Danheng, you actually hit me! That hurts!" Xing cried out in pain, clutching her head.
"I didn't use any force."
"Damn it, Xing, stop messing around!" A tic-tac-toe mark appeared on March 7's forehead.
Chapter 29: Plan Achieved (Thanks to IX Huan Yue for the update reminder)
(Thank you to all the readers for your support and generosity!)
After a journey of approximately 48 hours, Alahatto successfully reached the moon.
As a Herrscher, Welt is able to move freely on the moon, while Siegfried goes to collect Soul Steel as planned.
Led by Bella in human form, Welt met the Second Herrscher, Sirin, again at the center of the lunar ruins.
On the throne, her figure was majestic and imposing.
"They've finally arrived, the First Herrscher."
"I've been waiting for you for so long."
“I never thought you would actually come to the moon for those ants.” Sirin stood up. “Are you prepared to trade your life for the lives of those ants?”
"You've completely disgraced the Herrscher!"
Three pairs of wings unfolded from her back, demonstrating her immense power.
Seeing that Walter's gaunt face showed no emotion, Sirin continued:
"Heh, are you scared? Traitor, this is the true power of God's apostles."
