"What?" The superhumans gasped and quickly followed Jun Anyi's footsteps.
"If it wasn't you, then who? Did someone from headquarters arrive?"
"Could it be an unregistered lone wolf?"
"Or maybe someone from another organization who happened to be nearby?"
"Where is this person? They saved many lives and deserve our gratitude!"
The group of superhumans speculated, their nerves finally relaxing after the tense situation, causing them to chat more freely.
"I don't know; I only have a guess, which needs further confirmation."
"This ability is very similar to that of a student I recently recommended."
As Jun Anyi spoke, she walked towards the divine embryo and placed her hand on the giant ice egg, closing her eyes as if sensing something.
Her words immediately sparked opposition from the surrounding superhumans.
"No way, a student, no matter how talented, couldn't have faced so many divine servants alone."
"Yeah, even with an S-level talent, they would still be vulnerable before they fully develop."
"Besides, the ruthlessness of the attack doesn't seem like something a student would do."
"By the way, which student has impressed you so much?"
"Shh." Jun Anyi suddenly pressed her finger to her lips, signaling everyone to be quiet.
She furrowed her brows, then opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the divine embryo.
"This divine embryo is still alive!"
"What?!" The four superhumans immediately crowded around, each eager to touch the ice-covered divine embryo and feel the pulsating energy of the special life inside.
It was true! The divine embryo was indeed still alive!
"How many times in human history has there been a record of successfully capturing a living divine embryo?" A female superhuman asked, her voice trembling as she gently stroked the ice egg.
"Including this time, four!"
"A living divine embryo, it's really a living divine embryo!"
The burly man clapped his hands excitedly and said:
"This is great! We finally have a living research specimen again!"
Then he turned his gaze back to Jun Anyi and said:
"Who accomplished this? It really wasn't you, was it?"
"Stopping the divine descent ritual, annihilating a squad of divine servants, and capturing a living divine embryo—this is an immense contribution! Any reward is deserved!"
Jun Anyi also withdrew her hand and said:
"Yes, it's indeed a great contribution. I don't even know how they managed to do it."
"And, if I'm not mistaken, they probably don't even realize how incredible their achievement is."
Listening to Jun Anyi's cryptic words, the others were puzzled, as if she was sure of who did it.
"Alright, stop guessing. Clean up the battlefield, and later find a way to repair the nearby cameras and other monitoring equipment."
"When we figure out who did this, the credit and rewards they deserve must not be withheld!"
Ring, ring, ring!
Just as Jun Anyi finished speaking, the masked woman's phone rang.
After listening for a while, the masked woman looked up and said to everyone:
"The people at the Nanma Road Police Station said they found two unconscious children at the door. They seem to be the two missing children—they've been found!"
Jun Anyi was stunned and quickly said:
"Muzi, come with me. The rest of you clean up the battlefield, stabilize the divine embryo's energy, and prepare for its transfer."
Muzi, the masked woman, had a minor healing ability, which could temporarily treat the children if they were in critical condition.
The two of them moved quickly and soon reached their destination.
As they arrived, they saw a woman collapsed in tears under the yellow light at the entrance of the police station, surrounded by officers.
"My child... my children, please, you can't let anything happen to them... If something happens, how will I live..."
The woman, with swollen, tearful eyes, was so distraught that she could barely speak.
"Ma'am, please calm down. Your children have lost some blood, but the bleeding has stopped, and there are no other issues. They are not in life-threatening danger. The ambulance is on its way, so please take care of yourself."
Though the words were meant to comfort, how could she not worry?
She had clearly seen that all ten of her son and daughter's fingernails had been pried off. The sight of their condition tore her heart apart. They were so small—how much pain and despair must they have felt at that moment?
Beside her stood a strong man, his head bowed like a child who had made a mistake, his eyes red and speechless.
"How are the children?" Jun Anyi asked as she approached.
The man, seeing a superhuman arrive, hoarsely asked:
"Was it you who saved my children?"
Jun Anyi was taken aback, not having time to respond before the man suddenly fell forward.
Thud!
He knelt down, his head hitting the ground with such force that blood immediately appeared on his forehead.
This man, for the sake of his children, knelt before someone likely twenty years younger than him.
"Thank you! Thank you for saving my children!"
Jun Anyi quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept this gesture, as a wave of guilt washed over her.
Before coming here, while searching for traces, her mind was full of thoughts about the great consequences the divine servants might cause, worried about the enormous losses that might result from the divine descent.
But she had overlooked one crucial point—those two children's lives were also priceless, representing an entire family's hopes.
She always thought arrogantly about the grand impact of the divine descent, but Xin Yuan only wanted to save two innocent children.
