Chapter 1154 Communication

Ten minutes until Alahato launch.

After six hours of work, the doctors of Anti-Entropy loaded Alahato into the rocket. After leaving the atmosphere, the outer shell of the rocket will fall off, which will increase the flight speed and save Alahato's fuel.

Amethyst and Walter entered the control room, the former glanced at the people around him, "Feeling nervous?"

"No, I'm just worried about what's happening on the ground. You should have received the news, right? Cities such as Oulu in Finland, Paris in France, Toronto in Canada, Mexico City in Mexico, and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil all experienced natural disasters such as hurricanes, thunderstorms, and volcanic eruptions at almost the same time. In addition, the concentration of Honkai energy near each city is also continuing to soar. I suspect..."

"Those two Herrs are doing this in two ways? They want to lure us to the moon and kill us, and they also want to attack the earth?" Amethyst helped Walter add.

"Well, this should be the work of another Herrscher." Walter nodded.

"Don't think too much. Leave the matters on Earth to others. The meteorite problem of the Second Herrscher is what we need to solve. Rather than worrying about the Earth with abundant military forces, we should worry more about ourselves who are weak and alone." With Alicia and the others on Earth, Zijing was not worried at all. He was thinking about the showdown with Sirin and his other self after going to the moon.

"Mr. Walter, is it okay for you to hold back the Second Herrscher?" Amethyst asked.

"Just delaying it?"

"Well, the other Herrscher may be even stronger than the second Herrscher. You are no match for him."

"Haha... You're so ruthless. Don't worry, I can definitely do it if it's just to delay them." Walter said, "But in this case, Mr. Zijing, your battle with the other Herrscher will become the focus of this operation. If you win, all crises will be resolved, but if you lose, we will most likely all die."

"Ah, indeed, it is a great responsibility..."

Zijing smiled at Walter without any tension, with a little helplessness on her face, “But this time, I’m not fighting alone.”

"..."

"Countdown begins... Start the internal automatic control system... Return control, ready. Guidance control, ready. Flight dynamics control, ready. Countdown seventeen seconds, hand over to internal control."

"17..."

"16..."

"..."

As Einstein counted down, Amethyst and Walter lay quietly in their respective seats, looking upward, as if they could directly see the moon far away in the sky.

"3, 2, 1... fire!"

At Einstein's last command, the rocket's engine ignited instantly, and the huge thrust pushed it into the sky. Zijing and Walter were pressed tightly on the seats, which was a somewhat novel experience.

"Reaching the target altitude, the booster engine falls off, the rocket fairing falls off, and the Alahato power engine ignites." Einstein's voice continued to come.

After a violent vibration, the giant robot carrying two life forms has entered the earth's orbit.

Amethyst looked back through the window and saw the entire blue and white Earth.

"From this angle, the planet we live on is quite beautiful." Amethyst exclaimed.

"So in your eyes, the earth wasn't that beautiful before?" Walter said with a smile, handing Amethyst a bottle of orange liquid.

"What is this?" Zijing took it.

"Orange-flavored drink, I thought it might suit your taste." Walter also got himself a bottle and opened the cap.

This short period of time on the way to the moon is their last rest time, after which they will need to get into some big action.

"Mr. Amethyst, do you like music?"

"Yeah, I've learned a little bit. It's a little hobby of mine." Zijing took a sip of the drink, the fresh taste of orange spreading on her tongue.

Walter leaned back in his chair, slightly raised his head, and looked at the starry sky outside, as if recalling something. "Me too. Because I find that sometimes music can bring people a special kind of power, especially when facing difficult times, it can calm me down."

Amethyst nodded and returned her gaze to the overall view of the Earth. The blue ocean, white clouds, and the vaguely visible continents formed a magnificent picture. "You're right."

Walter took out a small player from the locker under the console and handed it to Zijing. "I prepared this. It contains some of my favorite songs. You can try it. Maybe it can calm you down before the next battle."

"Do I seem a little nervous in your eyes?"

Zijing took the player, and a soft melody came from the earphones placed on his ears. The notes brushed through his heart like a breeze, "This melody... is very familiar."

"This is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata." Walter's voice was filled with a hint of laughter. "I always feel that this piece of music has a wonderful connection with the moon."

"Then you should listen more yourself. After all, your opponent is the Second Herrscher, the little girl who once defeated you. Now she is stronger than before." Zijing said with a hint of ridicule as she handed the player back to him.

"Once again, she mercilessly emphasized that I was defeated by her... You are right. Compared with you, perhaps I should adjust my state more." Walter took off his headphones, pressed the button on the player, switched the music to the external speaker mode, and let the melody of "Moonlight Sonata" echo in the small control room.

The two of them were immersed in this peaceful atmosphere, with only Beethoven's notes flowing slowly in the control room.

"...Mr. Amethyst."

"Ok?"

"When did you become a Herrscher?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"After all, we can't just say nothing. Silence will only put more pressure on people. And as 'kind', we should have more common topics, right?"

Walter looked at Amethyst, with the intention of both relieving his boredom and diverting his attention, and also trying to get closer to her.

"I became a Herrscher only in the past few years. It became like this out of nowhere. At the beginning, I never thought I would take this path."

Zijing briefly recalled the not-so-much past that she could remember, "But not long ago, I realized that it was only a matter of time before I became like this. After all, it was an inevitable event, and it was determined from the moment I became conscious."

He paused for a moment and said helplessly, "It all started a long, long time ago..."
