The two people who heard the voice coming from behind stared at the man in front of them in utter shock, their eyes filled with wariness...

—Of course, it has become more obvious.

"The ability to teleport?!"

As two unlucky souls, one killed by the Herrscher of the Void and the other nearly killed by Herrscher of the Void, they immediately recognized that the other's teleportation ability was undoubtedly a power possessed by the Herrscher of the Void.

That shouldn't be the case, isn't the core of the Herrscher of the Void inside Kiana's body?

Could it be...?

"Mr. Siegfried, I can sense the killing intent emanating from you."

Feeling the fighting spirit erupting from Siegfried, Su said helplessly.

"But please believe me, I really meant no harm."

Sigh, while being wary of others isn't a bad thing, these two...

The fact that they're so wary shows that Mr. Otto really put them through a lot back then.

"Sir."

Looking at Su's helpless expression, Welt secretly poured Honkai Energy into the replicated Star of Eden while asking Su a serious question.

"If you don't want us to be so wary, please introduce yourself and explain your purpose."

"After all, in my opinion, there was nothing wrong with the attitude we two showed towards the uninvited guests."

"Alliance Leader Welt, you are absolutely right."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Su opened her eyes and spoke softly to the two of them.

"My name is Su, and I am a survivor from the Previous Era."

"After you two have seen the records stored in the Soul Steel that Mr. Siegfried brought back, you should know that such a group of people does indeed exist."

"... Indeed, there was such a group of people in the Previous Era."

Looking at the Flame-Chaser's Judgment in his hand, Siegfried recalled the white-haired youth he had met fourteen years ago.

"But I didn't see you in the Finality battle recorded in Soul Steel."

"Well, after all, compared to my companions, as a researcher and a mental Fusion Warrior, I don't have their strength."

After calmly affirming Siegfried's words, Sue continued speaking to the two of them.

"The fact that the two of you have doubts about me is actually a good thing to me."

"After all, I hope that you two can continue to maintain this attitude of 'not blindly believing' towards our predecessors from the Previous Era."

"... Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing Sue smear herself, Welt felt that something was even more wrong.

"If you are truly a forerunner of the Previous Era, then you should know that the legacy left by the Previous Era has helped our era solve many problems and avoid many tragedies."

"Both Siegfried and I have benefited from the Moonlight Throne, the Divine Key, science and technology, and other things left behind by the Previous Era."

"And now, you're telling us to be wary of other Precursors from the Previous Era... Can you explain why?"

"The reason is simple."

After creating a chair with his strength, Su sat down and said to the two of them with great helplessness.

"Because of our Previous Era's plan, for the people of this era... Ah, Mr. Siegfried, you should have seen my old friend Kevin in the records from fourteen years ago."

"... You brought up Kevin on your own initiative, which means you do indeed know some information related to the Previous Era."

Sensing a certain sensation emanating from Su, Siegfried's wariness towards Su suddenly intensified.

Then, he said to Su with slight displeasure.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but if you want to communicate with us sincerely, get rid of this annoying feeling about you."

Faced with Siegfried's dissatisfaction, Su Zhen felt that Kevin's junior was really a bit outrageous.

At this moment, Su was subtly radiating his spiritual energy to the surroundings, so that the two people would be less wary of him.

But now, after he had only released his mental energy for less than two seconds, Siegfried sensed this power and questioned Sue.

As expected of someone who has completed part of the 'awakening'.

Even though Mr. Siegfried's body was severely damaged after using the awakening potion, his activated "factors" continued to work tirelessly.

Perhaps it was because of his constant efforts that he was able to maintain such strong vitality after unleashing the Flame-Chaser's Judgment four times in two months.

Moreover, it was precisely because the factors within his body were more active that he was able to sense the fluctuations of my spiritual energy.

Something's happened.

After the factor becomes too active, Mr. Siegfried will become very strong in a short period of time.

However, if he allows this factor to continue to grow stronger, he will eventually lose control of his body, causing it to become a half-human, half-beast state, and ultimately lose the ability to move.

I apologize for my rudeness.

While pondering a solution, Su took out the two drops of medicine that Lin Yu had given him and tossed them to Siegfried and Welt.

Under Su's mental energy fluctuations, the sealed potion was thrown out by Su and floated quietly in front of the two of them.

"This is...!"

Upon seeing this drop of the potion, Welt, who possessed the Herrscher Authority of Reason, instantly lost his composure.

"Welt, what's wrong?"

Seeing Welt staring wide-eyed at the drop of potion in disbelief, Siegfried immediately looked at Sue and prepared to pull out the Flame-Chaser's Judgment he had just put away.

"You little rascal, you're up to something?!"

"Siegfried, calm down."

Welt said in disbelief as he picked up the sealed test tube in front of him.

"This gentleman may actually be on our side."

"This drop of medicine... is this also a legacy left over from Previous Civilization?"

Seeing Siegfried pick up the potion with a half-understanding look, Su said with a helpless smile.

"No, we couldn't manufacture such powerful medicines in our time."

"This is a potion that one of my companions asked me to give to you two."

"Now, Mr. Welt, as the Herrscher of Reason, after seeing this potion, should know that I have no ill intentions towards you two."

"... I apologize for my previous rudeness."

After carefully putting away the test tube, Welt cautiously spoke to Siegfried.

"Siegfried, you must keep this medicine safe."

"After all, this medicine can not only resolve your health problems, but also restore your physical condition to its best level."

????

Upon hearing Welt's suggestion, Siegfried's gaze towards Sue immediately changed.

Siegfried, who had previously faced Su, felt that Su was not a good person due to Su's mental fluctuations and other reasons.

But now—they've already delivered the healing potion to his doorstep, so it's clear that everything before was a misunderstanding.

The thought of the two of them relentlessly questioning Sue, only to have Sue still give him the miracle drug despite their past grievances, made Siegfried, who was generally considered an honest person in social situations, feel rather embarrassed.

"Haha, Mr. Su, I'm really sorry about before."

"Mr. Siegfried, please don't stand on ceremony. However... Alliance Leader Welt, what you said is not entirely accurate."

"Oh?"

Welt listened to Sue's words and showed a hint of doubt.

"But, according to my ability analysis, this drop of medicine should be able to cure me... I see."

Seeing Welt suddenly realize something, Su said with a wry smile.

"Yes, this drop of medicine can indeed treat your and Mr. Siegfried's injuries, but it cannot solve all your physical problems."

"The reason your body has become like this is not only due to old physical injuries, but also due to interference from the Honkai."

"Because Honkai will not support you as a 'traitor,' you will be constantly eroded by the core while your core usage rate cannot exceed 50%."

"As for Mr. Siegfried, his problem is more serious."

"The factors in his body have been activated, which will have serious consequences, but based on my personal testing results, the drug judges this to be a positive effect."

"Therefore, although Mr. Siegfried was able to completely heal his injuries after using the medicine, your body will still gradually awaken further due to the factors within you, causing your body and will to eventually begin to lose control."

"... You know so much."

Listening to Sue's explanation, Siegfried calmly drank the drop of medicine.

"But it doesn't matter."

"The fact that I, who should have died in the past, can restore my body to its best condition and have the power to continue fighting is enough for me."

"That's true."

Hearing Siegfried speak so frankly, Welt also drank the drop of the potion.

"The situation is much better now than it was then."

After using the Full Vitality Recovery Potion, Siegfried and Welt immediately felt that their bodies had indeed returned to their peak condition.

Siegfried now even feels that if he has an idea, he can use the 'Power of Salvation' once again, just like when he fought Sirin fourteen years ago.

"Mr. Su, thank you for your assistance."

Looking at the young man before them, the two men no longer harbored any wariness or suspicion.

Facing the two who had returned to their peak condition, Su Weiwei nodded and then suddenly used the power of the Thousand Worlds Annihilation to create a light screen in front of them.

"Since you two are willing to trust me, please do not go out in the coming days."

"Among the other pioneers I mentioned earlier, there is one who will pose a great threat to humanity—this person is Mr. Siegfried's ancestor, Kevin Kaslana."

Siegfried, who had intended to ask Su what was going on, noticed a hint of helplessness and sorrow in Su's eyes.

In this situation, even someone like Siegfried, who isn't very good at understanding social situations, knew he should keep quiet and wait for the other person to continue.

"Kevin and I are best friends, but that's precisely why I know just how terrifying his determination to 'save humanity' really is."

After displaying the general information about the Stigmata Plan on the light screen, Su unsurprisingly saw the shock in their eyes.

"This plan was originally meant to be executed by me, but Kevin, at the time, ultimately chose to take my place as the executor."

"But this plan... as you both have seen, the sacrifices required for this plan are simply too great."

"Kevin sank into the Quantum Sea after I ambushed him 1,500 years ago."

"Now, as long as Kevin returns to this world from the Quantum Sea, he will definitely continue to carry out the Stigmata Plan."

"I have come here today in the hope that you two can temporarily put aside your other work, keep an eye on Haiyuan City, and prevent others from entering this area."

"As long as we can protect Haiyuan City, Kevin will remain sealed in the Quantum Sea. Unable to return, he will probably have to use other means to indirectly direct his subordinates to complete this plan."

"I see."

Upon hearing Sue's words, Welt felt incredibly fortunate.

Thankfully, we didn't embark on the research project for the Abyssal Eye. If we had followed our original plan...

Kevin, who has waited for 1,500 years, will surely seize the opportunity to try to escape that cage the moment the Abyssal Eye begins to fluctuate.

"Mr. Su, please rest assured, we will definitely protect this place."

"Alright, I will try to suppress Mr. Otto's tyranny on Schicksal's side. You two..."

"—See you someday."

After the mysterious visitor left, Siegfried and Welt exchanged a glance.

"Welt, I'm not the best at this—can you analyze this and tell me how much of what this guy says can be believed?"

"... No matter how much of what he said is true, we have to believe it completely."

At this moment, Welt was processing the information Sue had just given him. He felt that the pain in the rest of his body had indeed subsided, but at the same time...
