Chapter 20: Sibling Reunion

[After learning the general situation from Einstein, you decide to follow Welt to find your sister. Even though your body is not fully recovered, you can't rest easy.]

[You and Welt board the transport plane of "Entropy" and head to the Siberian Plain.]

[On the transport plane, you ask Welt about the specific details of his battle with Sirin. You feel relieved because Sirin displayed the abilities you had envisioned for her in the battle.]

[You marvel at Sirin's intelligence and take pride in your own talents, disregarding the many injuries Welt suffered because of you. After all, in your heart, your sister always comes first.]

[...As you disembark from the transport plane, the cold Siberian wind makes you shiver involuntarily. Welt maintains contact with "Entropy" and starts searching for Sirin's presence by following the Herrscher's aura.]

Perhaps it was not yet spring in Siberia; the wind was cold, and the snow was thick. Chase's boots sank into the snow with each step, creating a muffled "crunch" sound, creating a delightful atmosphere.

In his previous life, as a southerner, even a small amount of snow would make Chase happy for a long time, not to mention being in a snow-covered landscape now.

"Mr. Welt?" Chase suddenly noticed that Welt, who was leading the way, had stopped and asked in confusion.

"I sense the second... your sister's aura," Welt said, shadows of red and black appearing in his eyes. Using force, he lifted himself and Chase into the air, flying towards the distance.

That's how the previous scene unfolded...

[You and Welt had just arrived at the location where Welt sensed Sirin's aura when a girl ran up to you, pretending to use a cane (not really).]

[Through conversation, you learned that the girl was Sirin's companion, and you asked her for directions. The girl named Bella agreed.]

[You and Welt followed Bella and soon found Theresa and Siegfried, who were in a tough battle with Sirin. Their situation was not good; they were being pressed by Sirin.]

[Seeing Sirin effortlessly dealing with the two members of "Schicksal," a smile unconsciously appeared on your lips.]

[Sirin summoned an Emperor-level Herrscher creature, injuring Theresa once again. Seeing the situation, Siegfried decided to retreat with Theresa.]

[Facing the relentless Herrscher creature, Welt's choice was...]

[Help Siegfried, suppress the Herrscher creature!]

"Boom!" Under the gravity suppression of Welt's Eden's Star, the huge Herrscher creature was directly pressed into the ground, unable to move, and the ground collapsed, forming a large pit.

Subsequently, Welt increased the gravitational force, and the once arrogant Emperor-level Herrscher creature was crushed to powder in an instant. Only the collapsing ground told the story of its past.

Siegfried looked deeply at Welt, then glanced at the approaching Herrscher and decided, gritting his teeth, "Thank you, I owe you a favor!"

After leaving these words, Siegfried quickly ran away.

Welt looked at Sirin, who was quickly approaching, with a vigilant expression.

Chase nudged Welt with his elbow, signaling him to retract the simulated Eden's Star.

Don't scare my sister.

Welt silently retracted Eden's Star and sighed.

Although he was on guard against the Second Herrscher who wanted to kill him at their first meeting, Chase was still his student, and he had to trust him to some extent.

Moreover, the Second Herrscher who was continuing to approach them seemed not to have noticed him at all...

"Brother!" Sirin ran over quickly, and her whole body directly pounced on Chase.

With a slight carelessness, Chase was pushed down by Sirin, and the two fell together on the snowy ground. The small bodies pressed against each other, transferring warmth and profound longing.

"Brother, Sirin missed you so much..." Looking at Chase intact, without missing limbs or legs, Sirin felt very happy. Then, she sat up from the snowy ground and said to Welt, who was acting as a third wheel:

"Humph, you traitor, not bad."

Welt: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to this statement. "Sirin, lift me up," Chase extended his hand to the girl, and Sirin hurriedly pulled Chase up.

Chase stood up, touched Sirin's head, then patted the snow on his body, and also brushed off the snow on Sirin.

"Sirin, were those children you had Bella bring over?" Chase suddenly remembered and asked.

"Yes, yes," Sirin nodded obediently, "I was fighting with those people from 'Schicksal' at that time, and I was afraid it would affect them."

Chase looked at Welt and asked, "Mr. Welt, can 'Entropy' take them in?"

Welt smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

Not to mention taking in dozens of children to repay a favor to the Second Herrscher, these children all had excellent resistance to Herrscher energy and great potential. Taking them in would not be a loss for "Entropy."

It was a completely win-win deal, and Welt had no reason to refuse.

Well... a win-win situation meant that "Entropy" won twice.

"Thank you, Mr. Welt. I..." Chase hadn't finished speaking, but Sirin pulled him aside and whispered.

"Brother, can we really trust this First Herrscher?" Sirin asked.

"What First Herrscher? He's your Uncle Welt," Chase pretended to be half-annoyed.

"Why is it Uncle Welt? The 'God' said he is very dangerous, and his words can't be trusted at all," Sirin was puzzled.

"Sirin, didn't I tell you before that we were going to seek refuge with relatives?" Chase acted mysteriously.

"Could it be?" Sirin looked suspicious, turned her head to glance at Welt not far away.

Could it be this First Herrscher? Sirin thought Aunt Alexandra was better than him.

"Smart, yoshey yoshey." Chase showed a satisfied expression, as if stroking the fur of an animal, he couldn't help but touch Sirin's head and even unconsciously spoke some Eastern language.

Indeed, she was his sister, so intelligent, just like him.

Sirin looked at Welt again, and the smile on her face froze.

"Hahaha, don't be like this, Sirin," Chase, seeing the stiffness on the girl's face, comforted her, "Mr. Welt is a good person."

Saying this, he looked back at Welt and asked, "Right, Mr. Welt?"

"...Huh? Yes, yes, that's right," Welt didn't eavesdrop on the conversation between the siblings. When Chase asked him this question, he was still a bit confused.

What? What is this? Anyway, just agree to it.
