WHAFI 251-275

251

After listening to Exusai's explanation, Texas was able to accept it a little.

After all, Exusai would occasionally take out small things.

The only difference this time was that Exusai took out gold, so she didn't react immediately.

Besides, does it really cost so much money to buy things? For a moment, Texas was actually a little curious.

"What's the matter? Are you scared?" Exusai looked at the expression on Texas' face and said immediately.

"Fortunately, what does your friend want to buy?"

Tilting her head, Texas asked in confusion.

She wasn't scared—just a little surprised.

"Amo said she wanted some Siren records and a piano."

"As for the remaining money, that's for my food expenses in the future!" Exusai patted her chest, as if she were rich now.

A complete upstart.

"Well, it seems your friend is very generous. At least, we’ll have a way to pay the fine in the future."

Texas showed a rare smile on her face. She walked over to the gold block and knocked on it with her hand.

(Lungmen Guard Department: Thank you.)

"Ahem... at least I won’t have to use my salary for this, right?"

Exusai smiled. Anyway, with such a large sum of money, no matter what she used it for, she wouldn’t lose out.

"If you want to use this gold, you’ll need to exchange it for Lungmen coins. When do you plan to go to the bank?"

"Tomorrow, when Croissant comes, we’ll think of a way to transport these three tons of gold."

"No problem."

.............................................

On the other side, in the chat group, Bai Mo was still happily chatting.

She had learned from the old man that he had dealt with the Ruin Guards, and the only thing left was to go to a very talkative person.

Bai Mo told him she wasn't in a hurry about this. Anyway, it would take some time for Vill-V to repair Ankuken Kurayami.

In the group chat, Touma-senpai hadn't been idle recently. While writing novels, he was also saving the world.

After all, the movies he experienced is usually quite big.

Bai Mo was also very envious of this. If she hadn’t been busy going to The Deep a few days ago, maybe she could have joined the when the movies' plots happened.

However, thinking that there should be opportunities in the future, Bai Mo also asked Touma-senpai to keep an eye on it for her.

Rider battles—it’s very exciting just thinking about it!!

And since she’s considered a senior, every Dark Swordsman is a puzzle, so she naturally won’t want to miss the chance to show off.

Do you think I can only become stronger after I transform? No! That’s actually a limiter!

Look at me, fighting monsters with my physical body!

Boxers! Boxers!

【Aslaug】: "@CakeLover, open the door and save humanity!"

【Aslaug】: "Have you guys in Chaldea been doing anything recently? Share some fun stories!"

It’s been so long, and Bai Mo hasn’t seen Romani reveal the progress of the singularity in the group.

Anyway, it seems to be going pretty smoothly.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be here every day chatting, right?

But speaking of chatting, it seems that Romani has already accepted the fact that his Miss Meri is actually a white-haired online scammer.

When Bai Mo thought of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

【CakeLover】: "Go away, what fun is there? You humans don’t talk nonsense."

【Aslaug】: "What! I didn’t expect you to find me out, even though I hid so deeply!"

【Aslaug】: "You know too much. I, the Herrscher of Finality, will expose Chaldea today!"

Oh, don’t say it, there’s really something similar between the two.

【Aslaki】: "ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ"

【CakeLover】: "@Kevin.Kaslana, don’t care?"

I can't stop you, little guy.

In the Chaldea dormitory, Romani was eating strawberry cake and laughing.

【Aslaki】: "Tsk, you’re anxious! You can’t afford it!"

How can someone be like this, unable to win the argument and then asking for help?

What’s the difference between this and complaining to the teacher at school?

In response, Bai Mo silently gave Romani a middle finger.

If you have the ability, don’t leave after school!

【Aslaki】: "Don’t let me get a chance, otherwise your strawberry cake will be in danger!"

【RichestShrineMaiden】: "Romani! You are in Danger!"

Watching the two bickering was just an entertainment program after dinner, and Reimu was watching with relish.

From time to time, she would comment a few words, and the days in the shrine were so leisurely.

【CakeLover】: "I’ve hidden the strawberry cake in the safest place. You can’t find it."

【Aslaug】: "Where? In my stomach? Believe it or not, I’ll cut it open for you!"

She had played this little move eight hundred years ago. Romani’s skills were still not enough in Bai Mo’s eyes.

【RichestShrineMaiden】: "Do you need me to book a bed in the Eternal Pavilion?"

【CakeLover】: "You’re devils, right?"

【Aslaug】: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, you’re right."

【RichestShrineMaiden】: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, you’re right."

Well, it’s not clear whether it’s a devil or not, but there is a repeater, anyway.

【Aslaug】: "Let’s go, let’s go, we have to do the real work, you guys continue to laze."

Seeing that the fun was gone, Bai Mo said a sentence and left the chat group immediately.

When her consciousness returned to her body, the first thing she smelled was the fragrance of cherry blossoms.

Looking up, Bai Mo found herself basking in the sun under the cherry tree.

Beside her, Rin and Griseo were still drawing, and it seemed they had finished the puzzle.

"How did you sleep? Did you dream about the lovely me?" Noticing Bai Mo’s fluctuations in the sea of consciousness, Elysia suddenly became energetic.

"Yes, Ellie in the dream was very naughty, but fortunately I was better, so I didn’t lose out."

Hearing this, Bai Mo laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.

Reaching out, she grabbed a cherry blossom floating in the air and looked at it carefully, as if she remembered something.

"I heard that the speed of cherry blossoms falling is 5 centimeters per second, so how fast can I meet you?"

"Hmm? Ah Qi, did you say anything just now?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered a sentence."

Chapter 252

For some reason, Bai Mo missed the days before she transmigrated.

Although every day was very boring at that time, she could only play games and draw cards.

She could do whatever she wanted at home.

But she lived a very fulfilling life. Of course, Bai Mo was not belittling her current life; she was just recalling her hometown.

Bai Sang, the lilies in my hometown are blooming!

Unconsciously, the cherry blossoms falling from the tree had covered her lower abdomen.

"Ah..."

Putting her hands behind her head, Bai Mo sighed lightly, but at the same time, there was a faint smile on her face.

She doesn't know when she can go back, and how to face it if she should go back.

They are all troublesome problems.

Shaking her head, Bai Mo finally decided not to think about it and leave it to her future self to solve.

Please! Another me!

"Lau, are you worried about something? I can be a good listener!"

Elysia spoke up after noticing the change in Bai Mo's mood.

"It's not really a worry; I just miss home."

"Then go back and have a look. Isn't your hometown in Shenzhou? I can go with you if I have a chance in the future."

"When the time comes, Lau, you must be a good guide and take me to have fun!"

Because Bai Mo is a good cook, Elysia is now more and more interested in Shenzhou.

In the previous era period, she didn't go because of various trivial matters, but now she can make up for it.

And she's with the person she likes. Thinking of this, Elysia's mood became even better.

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely take you there if I have a chance, but..."

Bai Mo smiled when she heard it, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"Just what?"

"Just, this Shenzhou is not that Shenzhou. My hometown may be a little far away, Ellie; you may have to wait for a long time."

This Shenzhou is not that Shenzhou?

Why does Lau feel that there is something behind her words...

It can't be the Shenzhou in other Bubble Worlds... But if you really say that, it is really possible.

After thinking for a while, she couldn't come up with an answer, so Elysia simply didn't think about it. After all, how long can it take? At worst, she will keep waiting, and there will be a chance one day.

"It doesn't matter. I will always be with you, Lau, no matter how long I wait."

Freeing her hands, playfully pinching "her" face, Elysia said very gently.

"Okay, in that case, let's make a pinky promise!"

"By the way, in my hometown, a pinky promise cannot be changed for a hundred years."

"Only a hundred years? If it's Lau, I don't care how long it takes."

As they spoke, the two of them stretched out their hands in tacit understanding, and their little fingers moved slightly, hooking each other.

Although these are Bai Mo's own hands, the meaning contained in them is completely different.

After making a pinky promise, Bai Mo also took the initiative to tell Elysia a lot of interesting childhood stories.

Also, in exchange, Elysia told a lot of things about her travels when she was a child.

On the side, the two little guys, Rin and Griseo were also unconsciously attracted by the content of the story, so they simply put down their brushes and lay down beside Bai Mo, one on the left and one on the right, and listened quietly.

During this period, Sakura also came many times, but she only looked at her from a distance and did not disturb this hard-earned tranquility.

It continued until the sun set and dusk came. Elysia stopped and said that she would talk about it later if there was a chance.

Because it was time for dinner, Bai Mo and Sakura went to the kitchen and cooked a table full of food, ready to have a good meal and replenish the energy of the day.

Everyone was talking and laughing at the table.

At the same time, Bai Mo also took this opportunity to tell Sakura and Rin that she had arranged tickets for the amusement park.

In short, it was a one-stop service, which was done on the phone in a few minutes.

Rin was very happy to hear the news and almost jumped up.

Seeing this, Sakura also smiled and nodded.

Indeed, after coming to the present world, especially after seeing Rin again, she had not really taken Rin out to see. This is undoubtedly unqualified for a sister.

And Bai Mo's arrangement just gave her this opportunity. It must be said that Sakura was very grateful for it.

"Finally, I can go to the amusement park with my sister! I will definitely try all the fun things!" Rin ate the fried chicken nuggets on the plate with big mouthfuls, and she was in a very good mood.

"Okay, then when you go, Rin... Forget it, let's wait. Your sister Ellie and I will each give you a big red envelope, and you can buy whatever Rin wants, okay?"

Looking at Rin's happy face, Bai Mo also said dotingly.

"Well..."

Seeing this, Rin just glanced at her sister silently. After all, the financial power was still up to her sister.

Considering that this was a kind gesture from Bai Mo and Ellie, Sakura also nodded and did not mean to refuse.

Then Rin agreed, and she felt even better, just like a dream.

If you can get pocket money, which child would not be tempted?

---

The meal was finished quickly. Tonight was still an empty plate operation. Sakura offered to wash the dishes, and Bai Mo did not refuse.

She just took this opportunity to call Rin out and then stuffed a red envelope and a bank card into her hand.

The red envelope was thick, about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, enough to play for several months anyway.

There was not much in the bank card, but at least tens of millions of dollars.

Don't ask. If you ask, it's all Bai Mo's. After all, what kind of small treasury can Ellie have?

"Thank you, sister Lau! Thank you, sister Ellie!"

The little guy smiled happily. Although she didn't know how much was in the red envelope, Rin really received this thought.

"It's okay. The password is Rin's birthday. Remember not to save it. Sister still has it after you spend it."

Ah! This feeling! So cool!

At this moment, Bai Mo had an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

After patting Rin's little head and saying hello to Sakura, Bai Mo picked up little Griseo and went home.

Chapter 253

The next morning

"Ha...ah!"

"Why do I feel uncomfortable everywhere?"

After a light yawn, Bai Mo stretched and said listlessly.

She guess... it might be Ellie who is making trouble again.

Thinking in her heart, Bai Mo didn’t care.

Looking at the alarm clock, the time was 5:30 in the morning, just getting light.

No way, you don’t think Bai Mo has changed her personality and wants to get up early, right?

Actually, that’s not the case. Bai Mo was woken up by a message in the chat group.

After calculating the time, Bai Mo thought Zhongli should be looking for her in the group. After all, according to the agreed time, Zhongli should have received the mechanical creation from the Cloud Retainer.

He'll call her and planned to give the items to her.

Finding a more comfortable posture, Bai Mo leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes, and entered the chat group.

As expected, the first message was from Zhongli, and the rest were good morning greetings from Reimu and Romani.

Out of courtesy, Bai Mo joined the conversation.

[Aslaug]: "Good morning, everyone. Yawn.JPG."

[Kamiyama Touma]: "Good morning."

[RichestShrineMaiden]: "Not at all. There were leaves all over the ground outside the shrine last night. It’s really troublesome to clean up!!!"

[CakeLover]: "Do you know about the automatic sweeping robot? It’s made by Chaldea, so it must be a top-notch product!"

[Aslaug]: "Why is Chaldea so lame after not seeing you for a few days? You even started a side job?"

[CakeLover]: "Yes, so Amo, do you want to allocate some funds to us? Otherwise, everyone won’t be able to survive in such cold weather."

[Aslaug]: "You still want funds, Romani? Are you planning to give gifts to your Miss Meri~~?"

[Aslaug]: "Right, big brother on the list?"

Little guy, you’re still climbing up the pole. I’ll block your mouth!

Bai Mo didn’t know why, but she just liked to tease Romani for no reason.

As expected, as soon as she said this, Romani stopped talking instantly. He had probably gone to cry in the corner again.

(Romani: If you have the ability, don’t talk about my dark history! Is it fun?)

[RichestShrineMaiden]: "@CakeLover, that’s it? That’s it?"

Well, it seems Bai Mo wasn’t the only one who wanted to tease Romani.

[Aslaug]: "Okay, Reimu, just let him cry."

[RichestShrineMaiden]: "Young people nowadays have weak stress resistance."

[Aslaug]: "But the problem is that he’s not young anymore."

"Pfft."

Romani, who was far away in Chaldea and peeking at the screen, almost spat out blood after seeing this sentence.

He was just about to send a response, but Bai Mo interrupted the conversation.

[Aslaug]: "Forget it, forget it. I won’t fight with you guys anymore."

It was enough to chat for a while. Bai Mo still had to reply to Zhongli’s message.

[Aslaug]: "@Geo Archon, old man, just put the things you found in the mall. I’ll take them out later! Thank you for your hard work!"

About three or four minutes later, Zhongli replied.

[Geo Archon]: "Okay, I’ve put the things in."

[Geo Archon]: "In addition, Miss Bai, I’ve recently finished reading the books you gave me before. But one of my friends seems very interested in these, so I want to ask if you have any other books to share."

[Aslaug]: "Yes, yes. By the way, your friend is called Xingqiu, right? Does he like fairy-tale works?"

Seeing this, Bai Mo asked tentatively.

[Geo Archon]: "Miss Bai is right. That is indeed the case."

[Aslaug]: "That’s great. I’ll pick a few books for him later."

Happy!

Xingqiu, I really don’t mean to harm you. But since you can withstand the Immortal Sword, I’m sure you can also withstand Zhuxian.

After all, these two works are quite 'enjoyable'. Young people should hone their Taoism; it’ll help their future growth.

[Geo Archon]: "In that case, I’ll leave it to Miss Bai."

[Aslaug]: "It’s a small matter. I’ll find a few more books this time. I guarantee you’ll have enough to read for a long time."

After that, Bai Mo entered the mall, took out the Ruin Guards and mechanical creations Cloud Retainer had packed, and put them back into the imaginary space.

Finally, she constructed a few novels and placed them in the mall. Her mission was complete.

Feeling relaxed, Bai Mo withdrew her spirit.

It only took about half an hour.

After getting up, washing up, and preparing breakfast, Bai Mo planned to visit Vill-V later to give her the gifts.

Although these things belonged to their 'neighbor', they were all items from another world. Bai Mo believed Vill-V would be interested when she saw them.

---

Twenty minutes later, after finishing the meal and cleaning up, Bai Mo decided to take Griseo to find Vill-V, as per Griseo’s request.

The two got in the car, started the engine, and Bai Mo stepped on the accelerator.

---

The surrounding scenery quickly blurred as Griseo, sitting in the passenger seat, curiously stuck her head out, letting her light blue hair fly. She enjoyed the breeze brushing her cheeks.

For a moment, her childlike nature showed, and Bai Mo smiled softly as she watched.

However, just a few minutes later, something unexpected happened.

"Kurikara, surrender to me," Griseo suddenly said.

Bai Mo was so startled she looked into the back seat, searching for Mei.

Of course, she didn’t find her.

"???"

Is Mei here? Did you secretly take my Griseo while I was sleeping?!

How come Kurikara surrendered to me?!

Bai Mo swore she never taught Griseo this.

"Is it cool? This is a line from a cartoon. Sister Aslaug, have you heard of it?" Griseo asked innocently.

---

Chapter 254

254

---

Cartoons?

Are cartoons so advanced now? What's the name? I want to watch it too!

Bai Mo now had good reason to suspect that the main character of this cartoon was Mei Raiden.

So, I have a friend...

"What's wrong with you, Sister Aslaug?"

Seeing Bai Mo's absent-minded look, Griseo stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Ah, it's okay. It's cool, sister. I like it very much."

Forget it—asking a child for the name of a cartoon? Bai Mo still couldn't bring herself to do such a thing. It was too embarrassing.

After laughing awkwardly twice, Bai Mo concentrated on driving again.

After about twenty minutes, Bai Mo and Griseo arrived at the magic workshop.

They stopped the car and walked in together.

The hall of the workshop was surprisingly quiet, and there was no one on the stage nearby.

It seemed that the great magician wasn't online today. Bai Mo had been thinking of watching a free magic show, but now it seems she had to give up.

Since leaving the Elysian Realm, Vill-V had appeared as her [self] more often—a rarity.

Holding Griseo's little hand, Bai Mo took her up the spiral staircase and headed straight to the place where the [Expert] usually worked.

Bang bang.

When they arrived at the door, Bai Mo reached out and knocked, but there was no response for a long time.

Judging from this, Vill-V was probably still resting.

Moreover, Bai Mo had come unannounced this time and hadn't informed her beforehand, so this was normal.

Bending down, Bai Mo picked up little Griseo.

"Sister Vill-V is still sleeping. Let's go to the stage below and play while we wait for her!"

Although she knew where Vill-V's room was, Bai Mo didn't want to disturb her.

It just so happened that there were plenty of props on the [Magician]'s stage, making it the perfect opportunity for a role-playing game with Griseo.

It wasn't like she wanted to see Griseo's version of "Kurikara, surrender to me!"

"Well, then let's let Sister Vill-V have a good rest."

"Little Griseo is so obedient. Give me a kiss!"

Mua.

Hearing this, Griseo cooperatively touched Bai Mo's cheek with her soft lips.

It was gentle, and Bai Mo enjoyed it immensely.

---

Coming to the back of the stage behind the curtain, Bai Mo found a pile of props for magic shows.

There were also some costumes of all sizes.

Griseo picked and chose carefully, but without creating any mess. In the end, she selected a red hood, resembling Little Red Riding Hood's costume.

"Hmm? Little Griseo wants to play Little Red Riding Hood?"

Seeing this, Bai Mo asked curiously.

Griseo nodded gently, then put the hood on her head and twirled around a few times.

Bai Mo's heart almost melted.

So cute! Unbearably cute!

To make the role of Little Red Riding Hood more realistic, Bai Mo found a small fruit basket for Griseo to carry on her arm.

But since that's the case... why not play the role of the wolf grandmother herself?

Hehehe.

She could trick little Griseo into falling on the bed and then "eat" her! Just the thought of it was exciting.

Action trumps thought, and Bai Mo quickly rummaged through the costume box.

But after a while...

"Bad review! They've got Little Red Riding Hood, but no wolf grandmother costume!"

This is such a letdown!

After searching for a long time without finding a wolf costume, Bai Mo gave up and instead became Griseo's exclusive photographer.

A little girl growing up at home? Quite interesting.

After taking a few photos with Griseo, Bai Mo uploaded them to the Golden Courtyard chat group.

Soon, the group became lively, thanks to the photos.

Unsurprisingly, everyone praised little Griseo.

(Bai Mo: Obviously, my photography skills are great too! Why is no one praising me?!)

[Eden]: "It seems Griseo really likes Little Red Riding Hood. Adorable."

[Kosma]: "…Ditto."

[Kevin]: "Cool."

[I Hate Pink the Most]: "Little Griseo is so cute."

[Just Want to Draw]: "Thank you, everyone. You're all very cute too."

[Just Want to Draw]: "(◦˙▽˙◦)"

---

Meanwhile, in Vill-V's bedroom.

At this moment, Vill-V had just woken up and was getting dressed to start her day.

She had stayed up too late last night, so this was the first time in a long while that she had slept in.

Walking to the water dispenser, Vill-V poured herself a glass of cold water and took a sip.

"You have a new visitor record. Please check it in time."

A notification from the computer next to her attracted her attention.

This was a small gadget she'd created when she first built the workshop. It recorded visitors to the workshop and automatically notified her.

"Huh? Who's here so early in the morning?"

Curious, Vill-V prepared to check the records and images.

At that moment, her phone buzzed repeatedly with notifications from the Golden Courtyard group chat.

Why is it so lively this early in the morning? What happened?

As she retrieved the visitor records, Vill-V unlocked her phone and opened the group chat.

Wow. Critical cuteness overload right from the start!

More than twenty photos of Griseo filled Vill-V's screen.

Adorable! Vill-V's instant assessment.

But as she continued looking, something about the background seemed familiar.

Vill-V flipped through the photos and, after a few seconds, realized why.

Isn't this my workshop?!

Could the visitors be Lau and Little Griseo?

Her suspicions were confirmed as she scrolled further through the group chat messages.

[Eden]: "Lau, are you at Vill-V's place? The background looks like her usual performance area."

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "Yes! Sister Eden, you're spot on!"

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "It's a pity Sister Vill-V doesn’t have the wolf grandmother costume. Otherwise, I would've taken a few more photos."

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "( 。ớ ₃ờ)ھ"

Seeing these messages, Vill-V smiled and quickly replied.

[The Man Overlooking the Stars]: "Lau, you didn't even tell me you were coming! I was just wondering who today's visitor was."

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "Hey, Sister Vill-V! You're awake. Little Griseo and I only arrived a short while ago. I didn’t want to disturb you earlier since you seemed to be resting."

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: " (^▽^) "

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "By the way, I brought you a gift this time! I guarantee you'll like it!"

---

Here's the corrected and refined version of the text:

Chapter 255

[Man overlooking the stars]: "A gift?"

[I have ambitions to be the prime minister]: "Yes, we prepared it carefully. It can be regarded as a thank-you gift for Sister Vill-V for repairing the Dark Moon Sword!"

[Man overlooking the stars]: "It's just a small thing. Isn't it a waste of money to give gifts or something like that?"

After all, given the relationship between them, wouldn't it seem a bit formal to give gifts or something like that?

Anyway, that’s what Vill-V thought.

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "Oh, Sister Vill-V, please don't refuse~ This is also my intention, and even if you don't help me, Sister Vill-V, I will still give it to you."

Seeing this, Bai Mo quickly explained, fearing that Vill-V wouldn't want to accept.

[Man overlooking the stars]: "Okay then, I'll go down right away. Lau, you and little Griseo wait for me."

Helpless, after Bai Mo mentioned this, Vill-V had no choice but to agree to accept the gift.

Wow, wow, she is real! I cried to death!

..................................................................

After a trot, Vill-V soon arrived in the hall. Looking at the two people playing on the stage in front of her, she waved and said hello.

"Good morning, Sister Vill-V."

"Hi, did you miss me? Good morning, Sister Vill-V."

While wearing the Little Red Riding Hood suit, Griseo quickly stepped forward and gave Vill-V a big hug. Bai Mo followed closely and smiled at Vill-V.

Seeing this, Vill-V hugged her and said softly, "Of course I have. How about it? Are you having fun here, Griseo?"

After saying that, Vill-V did not forget to nod to Bai Mo.

"Happy."

Hearing this, Griseo smiled and nodded.

"Just be happy. If you like everything here, Griseo can take it home."

"Don't worry, [Magician] will definitely agree."

At the end, Vill-V did not forget to add one sentence.

But it is true that [Magician] will never refuse in this matter.

After all, everyone loves the group pet!

"Thank you, Sister Vill-V."

Rubbing her head into Vill-V's arms, Griseo said sweetly.

Grasping the clothes on her body, Griseo said that this was all she needed.

After all, the rest are what [Magician] sister needs to perform magic, so she wouldn't be so disobedient.

"By the way, Sister Vill-V, you look like you just got up and haven't eaten yet. Do you want me to cook something delicious for you?"

Seeing that Vill-V was still wearing pajamas and her hair was tousled, it was clear that she had run down in a hurry and must be on an empty stomach.

Bai Mo was gearing up, as if saying, "Leave everything to me."

"In the morning, just eat a few bites of the sandwich. Today I have to repair your sword, Lau..."

Before Vill-V could finish speaking, Bai Mo immediately interrupted her and said in a serious tone: "No! The sword can be repaired at any time, and there is no rush for this day."

"Besides, can the sandwich be as delicious as the food I cook? No matter what, sister Vill-V, you have to let me cook you a good meal today. After all, you must have stayed up late again last night."

Seeing the dark circles under Vill-V's eyes, Bai Mo didn't give her a chance to refute. She immediately took her arm and then led Griseo to the kitchen.

"I... Okay, then it's all your fault, Lau."

Seeing this, Vill-V smiled helplessly.

This feeling of being cared for made her feel warm in her heart.

And the rice cooked by Bai Mo was indeed delicious. Since the last time she ate it, she immediately remembered the taste.

She just doesn't know, what can she make for breakfast?

"That's right. As a reward, I'll give you one of the many gifts first, Sister Vill-V. As for the rest, let's wait until after dinner."

Blinking his eyes, Bai Mo said playfully, and then reached her hand into the imaginary number space.

The next second, a white mechanical bird appeared in her hand.

Bai Mo weighed it for a moment, then handed it to Vill-V.

"What, Lau, your tone is like coaxing a child... Is this, Lau, the gift you prepared for me?"

Before she could change her mind, Vill-V looked at Bai Mo and stuffed the mechanical bird into her hand. After looking at it for a while, she suddenly became interested.

When she spoke again, the personality of [Expert] was already online.

"It is indeed a pretty exquisite gadget. There is nothing to say about the workmanship, but the technique..."

Something called the desire to explore emerged from the bottom of her heart.

Entering the state, Vill-V briefly analyzed the mechanical bird in her hand.

It’s just that she had never seen such a thing. Although she could make it, it was different from the one in front of her.

"You haven't seen it, have you?"

Bai Mo saw Vill-V's confusion and immediately said with a smile.

What she wanted was this effect.

After all, if Vill-V thought this thing was too simple, then all her preparation would have been in vain.

"Well, I really haven't seen it before."

Hearing this, Vill-V nodded, then glanced at Bai Mo meaningfully, as if she wanted to get an answer from her.

"Hmph, Sister Vill-V, you may not believe it. This gadget is a product of another world, so the method is naturally a little different."

"A product from another world? What about the other gifts..."

"They are all little things from another world! How about it? Isn't it a surprise?"

"Uh... Sister Vill-V, don't look at me like that. It's yours and I can't take it back. Didn't I tell you that I'll give it to you after dinner? Don't worry, there's a big one among the gifts waiting for you."

Seeing Vill-V's fiery eyes, Bai Mo felt a little embarrassed and said immediately.

"Let's go! Then let's go eat quickly."

When she heard that there were big gifts, there was no need to think about it. She could have food at any time, but right now, Vill-V was more interested in Bai Mo's gift.

As the greatest engineer of the last century and this century, her fiery heart did not allow her to be lazy. She had to get into work as soon as possible.

In this way, at Vill-V's urging, Bai Mo simply cooked three bowls of Yangchun noodles for breakfast.

"Sister Vill-V, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

However, Vill-V didn't speak. She just quickly devoured the food in her bowl and finally drank the soup as well.

Bai Mo understood what Vill-V meant by doing this.

Helpless, Bai Mo had no choice but to find an open space and take out the Ruin Guards and a bunch of mechanical artifacts.

----

Chapter 56:

An Imaginary Portal opened.

All the mechanical creations and Ruin Guards that Bai Mo had stored inside fell out at once.

Like a small mountain, there were a lot of them.

Of course, the Ruin Guards were naturally paralyzed, after all, the circuits and furnace cores had been dismantled.

Even Zhongli had dismantled a machine for her and packed it up together.

Goodness, this is really a big investment.

"How about it, are you satisfied with these gifts, sister Vill-V?" Bai Mo said proudly with her hands on her waist.

"Satisfied! I am so satisfied with these!" Vill-V's tone made it clear how excited she was.

After all, there were so many things she had never seen, and they were all from another world. How could she not be excited?

If she could dismantle these things and study them thoroughly, she could invent many new "genius little gadgets."

As a technical talent specializing in the field of mechanics, Vill-V had unlimited motivation and confidence in mechanical power engineering and energy.

Especially with the big guy called the Relic Guard, Vill-V had already come up with many ideas to advance her inventions.

To be honest, Vill-V was almost no longer interested in things from the present century. They were all completely unchallenging, not even as good as those from the last era.

Bai Mo's gifts, however, undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for her.

"Can these things be left here? How about I help you, Sister Vill-V, transport them to your studio?"

"No, no! Just leave them here. This whole workshop is my studio. There's no need to be so troublesome."

As she spoke, Vill-V’s eyes were fixed on the Relic Guard.

Seeing this, Bai Mo shrugged and didn’t say anything more.

"Come, little Griseo, this mechanical bird is for you."

After calming down a little, and considering that Griseo was still young and might be interested in these gadgets, Vill-V picked out the best one and gave it to her.

She also gently touched Griseo’s little head.

"I like this gift very much. Thank you, Sister Vill-V."

Holding the mechanical bird in her hands, Griseo nodded obediently, and at the same time, she decided to draw a picture for Vill-V as a return gift.

"Sister Vill-V, I want one too!"

Seeing this, Bai Mo also imitated a child, staring at Vill-V with wide eyes.

"Okay, Lau, you have a share too, but not now."

"When I have a new invention one day, I’ll definitely be the first to send it to you, Lau. How about that?"

Instead of returning the things Bai Mo sent, Vill-V felt that this was the best way to express her feelings.

"Okay!"

"Then Sister Vill-V, you should study them carefully. If the things aren't enough, I can help you get more when I’m free another day."

Of course, that wouldn’t be possible in the near future. At least they would have to wait until the Honkai of Coral Island was over. At that point, Bai Mo planned to take a three-day tour of Teyvat and search for more things.

"Okay, then I’ll leave it to you, Lau."

Vill-V smiled and didn’t ask too much about the matter of the other world.

After all, in her eyes, the so-called other world was nothing more than another world.

But it was good that Vill-V could think like this. Bai Mo didn’t have to explain it again, which would have been quite troublesome.

"By the way, Lau, I can probably repair your sword the day after tomorrow."

"It’s okay, don’t worry, Sister Vill-V, just take your time."

.........................

Afterward, Bai Mo and Griseo didn’t stay too long. After saying goodbye to Vill-V, they left.

More than half an hour later, the two of them quickly arrived home.

As soon as they entered the room, Bai Mo went straight to the refrigerator and found a bottle of iced happy water to replenish her energy.

Squeak.

"Ah... refreshing!"

After drinking it, she took out another bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator and quietly placed it on the coffee table.

There were also many potato chips and snacks on the coffee table, all prepared by Bai Mo for Griseo. Of course, Elysia would also eat some at times, but it wasn’t a big problem.

"Little Griseo, do you want to watch TV?"

Turning her head and looking at Griseo lying on the sofa, Bai Mo asked habitually.

"Then can Sister Aslaug accompany me? I want to watch a movie."

Sitting up straight, holding the rabbit doll in her hand, Griseo spoke in a soft voice.

Her little white feet swayed back and forth in the air. She patted the seat next to her, expecting Bai Mo to sit beside her.

"Okay, then what does our little Griseo want to watch?"

Little Griseo is so cute, I might not have the heart to refuse!

Bai Mo quickly walked over to the sofa, but instead of sitting next to Griseo, she chose to go around behind her and hugged her as usual.

Griseo was also very cooperative, leaning into Bai Mo’s chest.

A sense of peace of mind.

Griseo-brand pillow! Warm, fragrant, and soft.

You deserve it!

"Well... then let’s watch a horror movie."

"Oh? Isn’t little Griseo scared? Horror movies and the like can make it hard to sleep at night."

When Bai Mo heard that Griseo wanted to watch a horror movie, she instantly lost her composure.

Especially for someone who loves to fantasize so much, she would definitely have trouble sleeping after watching it!

Bai Mo didn’t want to experience the feeling of a room full of people being "lively" again.

But despite this, Bai Mo still pretended to be calm on the surface, trying to change Griseo's mind.

"If Sister Aslaug is with me, I won’t be afraid."

However, Griseo didn’t consider it at all, instead rubbing against Bai Mo's arms again.

At worst, when she gets really scared, ahe can sneak into Sister Aslaug’s bed at night, so she won’t be afraid.

Griseo thought silently, cheering herself up in her heart as if she was preparing for battle.

But on the contrary, Bai Mo really didn’t want to watch it at all, but there was no way. After all, little Griseo said so, and she couldn’t spoil the fun.

So, Bai Mo had to bite the bullet and agree.

With Griseo full of expectations, the two of them began watching the horror movie.

And this one movie lasted a whole day…

(Bai Mo: If I made a mistake, please let the law punish me. Instead of this, it’s simply fatal!)

----

Chapter 257: Pink Fat Woman

.................................................................

It was noon the next day.

Bai Mo got up from the bed in a daze, like a lifeless corpse, with her mouth slightly open. Her eyes have lost the light they once had.

Her haggard appearance and the dark circles under her eyes were clear evidence of what had happened the previous night.

Yes, after spending the entire day watching horror movies with Griseo yesterday, Bai Mo hadn't slept well at all. It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that, after staying up all night, she managed to squint her eyes for a few hours.

On the other hand, Griseo had slept soundly, like an octopus, nestled in Bai Mo's arms.

In the morning, Griseo noticed that Bai Mo was still asleep but didn't disturb her. Instead, she went to the kitchen to heat up two sandwiches, prepared a glass of milk, and placed it on the bedside table. Then, the little one went outside to play with Rin.

After all, Rin was going to the amusement park with Sakura the day after tomorrow, and it would be over a week before they could say goodbye.

Sitting by the bedside, Bai Mo smiled faintly as she looked at the breakfast and the small note left by Griseo.

She picked up the note and read it. It was a message from Graciu saying that she was going to find Rin. Under the note, Graciu had drawn a cute, Q-version headshot of herself and Bai Mo.

At the same time, when she picked up her phone to check the time, Bai Mo found an earlier message from Sakura, which included a picture of little Griseo watching cartoons with Rin.

She replied casually, "Thank you for your hard work," feeling a little relieved.

Raising her head to face the sunlight, Bai Mo felt much better.

"I will never watch horror movies again. They're really harmful."

Bai Mo gently patted her cheeks with both hands. After cheering herself up, she rolled over and got out of bed, rushing to the bathroom.

....................................(Children are not allowed to eavesdrop or peek!)

After a night of being sealed, Bai Mo finally released her "holy water," feeling instantly relieved.

Pulling up her pants, she walked straight to the bathroom to wash her hands and brush her teeth.

After quickly finishing her breakfast, she lay back on the bed again.

She had no energy or motivation. All she wanted to do was relax all day instead of working.

These were Bai Mo's thoughts at that moment.

She soon grew bored and wanted someone to talk to. Bai Mo called out for Elysia several times in her mind.

"Answer me! Elysia!"

But her call went unanswered.

Seeing this, Bai Mo felt even more frustrated, her mouth pouting in anger.

"Liar, you said you'd respond to me anytime, anywhere!"

"I can’t even scream right now. And when I was watching that horror movie yesterday, you appeared just for a cutscene, and in the blink of an eye, you were gone."

"You're so cruel, Ellie! Next time, when I make something delicious, you won't get any!"

....Okay, forget it. If Ellie can't eat it, then I suppose she won't be able to eat it anyway.

Just as Bai Mo was about to go to the chat group for some fun, Elysia's voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Oh, who made our Lau angry again? Why is she so sad?"

"Want to smile? I can tell you a joke, Lau!"

However, Bai Mo ignored Elysia. Though the words seemed caring, the tone sounded like she was snickering!

"You're asking knowingly..."

After a long pause, Bai Mo muttered to herself.

"Well... that's wrong. I will definitely watch a horror movie with you next time, Lau!"

A hand unconsciously climbed up "her" cheek, and Elysia tried to use coquettishness to ease the situation with Bai Mo.

They both looked like a couple having a cold war, and the scene was rather amusing.

But Bai Mo wasn’t unreasonable. After Elysia did her best to comfort her, she finally stopped pouting.

After all, if she hadn’t stopped, Elysia would have tickled her until she couldn’t breathe from laughing.

Damn it! This woman is really too arrogant, but she still can't do anything about it.

Helpless, Bai Mo had no choice but to accept her fate.

Taking out her phone, the two of them started watching short videos together. Every time Elysia saw something interesting, she would send it to the Golden Courtyard, as well as a separate copy to Mobius.

Don’t ask why. Elysia just thought it was fun, and the videos sent to Mobius were all carefully selected dress-up videos!

They were all little skirts and similar outfits.

This was for Mobius to see, and for Bai Mo to see as well.

After all, Elysia couldn’t help but feel she had no words to say about the clothing choices of these two people.

One wore a white coat every day, and the other wore men's or neutral clothing all the time.

Bai Mo’s only beautiful dress was rarely worn, and Elysia had never seen her wear it.

Every time Elysia asked about it, Bai Mo would say something like, "This is my original body! It has to be preserved and can only be worn on special occasions."

As time passed, Elysia stopped asking.

Ding ding ding!

Finally, after Elysia sent twenty dress-up videos in a row, Mobius couldn't take it anymore and immediately sent a message.

The message was eloquent, full of words accusing Elysia of her actions.

[I hate pink the most]: "Have you had enough of this pink fat woman! If you want to wear a skirt, go wear it yourself! Stop bothering me while I'm doing my experiment!"

[I hate pink the most]: "And you little guinea pig! Can you take care of this fat pink woman?"

[I hate pink the most]: "If you post this again, I’ll block you immediately!"

.............................................

"Hahahaha, Miss Pink Fat Elf! Look, Ellie, how angry you made Snake."

Seeing Mobius' message, Bai Mo threw her head back and laughed, her stomach twitching with laughter.

But the next second, Elysia covered her mouth.

"It's impolite to talk about a cute girl like that. Lau, I’ll be angry if you keep doing that."

"Haha... ha, cough, sorry, Ellie. Please let me calm down a bit."

"Okay, okay, Ellie, please reply to Snake quickly, or she’ll be really angry later."

After all, Bai Mo would suffer if she got angry. She didn’t want to end up on Mobius’s operating table out of nowhere one day.

Chapter 258: What I Said to the Bishop Was…

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "It's not bad to try a different style occasionally. Mobius, you're so cute. Wouldn't it be a pity if you wore a white coat all day?"

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "Girls must treat themselves well. You can't stay up late. You must eat well three times a day. Don't just eat instant noodles all day."

Every time she visits Mobius's laboratory, there are always empty instant noodle cups in the trash. She thought Kevin lived here.

【I hate pink the most】: "I’m a scientific researcher. How can I be like you, doing nothing all day?"

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "Why make yourself so tired? Why not enjoy yourself occasionally? After all, the Qing Dynasty... the Fire Moth is gone, and today's civilization still has Schicksal and anti-entropy. Why worry so much, Snake?"

This sentence was spoken by Bai Mo. After all, she sincerely hopes that Mobius can take a break. Isn’t that the original intention behind resurrecting the Flamechasers? To reduce the burden as much as possible and try to enjoy the rest of life?

Although it’s difficult, Sakura and Eden have done well. Only Mobius and Vill-V are still focusing on their research and inventions.

【I hate pink the most】: "Huh? When it comes to fighting against Honkai, you actually rely on the bishop of Schicksal? As for Anti-Entropy, they’re still too weak."

Mobius raised her doubts. Since coming to the current civilization, Gray Serpent has told her everything he knows, so Mobius views Schicksal and Anti-Entropy as children playing house. In the face of Honkai’s great enemy, they’re still fighting amongst themselves.

Having seen the stupidity of the Fire Moth, Mobius finds it ridiculous.

However, Mobius wasn’t surprised. After all, this is the inherent flaw of humanity—something that will never be corrected.

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "Well, I don’t deny that Otto has selfish motives in fighting against Honkai, but..."

"But what?"

Seeing Bai Mo hesitate, Elysia couldn’t help but feel curious.

"Don't worry, I’ll explain briefly."

Bai Mo spoke lightly. Although she despised Otto’s methods, it didn’t affect her admiration for him.

【I hate pink the most】: "But?"

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "He’s a very complicated person, and doesn’t need anyone’s judgment. He cares about one thing—achieving one goal. Everything else is a means, and he never hides the sins he’s committed."

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "To put it simply, he’s a sinner in the world but a hero to one person. Otto is the kind of person who deserves people to stand before his tombstone and remember him."

After all, only the dead Otto is a good Otto.

"A hero to one person? Is there a story behind this?"

"Of course, his story is long—500 years long. Of course, that’s nothing to you, Ellie."

"Lau! It's very impolite to rashly discuss a girl's age!"

"Is this a discussion? At most, it’s a hint!"

Goodness, Bai Mo really didn’t expect Elysia to say that. Fortunately, she did it unintentionally, and Elysia was just joking, so the moment passed quickly.

【I hate pink the most】: "Little white mouse, do you think highly of him?"

Bai Mo had previously learned from Gray Serpent that the bishop of Schicksal was a very complicated person. Now, after hearing Bai Mo’s words, Mobius was a little curious.

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "Let me put it this way: Otto was just born in the wrong era. If he had appeared in previous era and Kallen hadn’t died, there would have been no Fire Moth, and the outcome of previous era might have been much better."

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "I believe everyone knows that after Otto’s death, this thing was influenced and became the second Otto."

Of course, there might be some errors in what I said, but it's almost accurate.

【I hate pink the most】: "Void Archives… If what you’re saying is true, little white mouse, then this Otto is truly capable."

In the laboratory, Mobius couldn’t help but smile at Bai Mo’s message. Her evaluation of Otto improved slightly. After all, no matter what, the consciousness in Void Archives’s body is the incarnation of the super artificial intelligence Prometheus. Its core and microelectronic information are engraved with the ultimate mission of "saving mankind from the hands of Honkai." So, it can neither love nor hate humans.

If Void Archives can really be influenced and even become "human," then indeed, this man named Otto must have some ability.

But after thinking for a moment, Mobius found the most interesting point in Bai Mo’s words.

【I hate pink the most】: "But after death? As far as I know, the Archbishop of Schicksal isn’t dead yet, right? How did you know this, little white mouse?"

"Yes, and that Kallen! Her name sounds like a very cute girl. Lau, tell me more!"

It's really a giveaway! You can tell the gender just by hearing the name; this realm is truly impressive.

"......"

Although Bai Mo was pointed out for making a mistake, she wasn’t panicked.

Don’t panic when faced with such things, just shift the blame to the world.

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "Of course, I saw it in another Bubble World. If you don’t believe me, ask Su. He must know."

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "As for Kallen, she was Otto’s childhood sweetheart. She died 500 years ago, protecting citizens from the hands of the Honkai Beast. Otto took over Schicksal and became the bishop to revive Kallen."

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "So everything he’s done in the past 500 years is just to revive Kallen. He’s used almost all means. Even the Herrscher is just a tool for Otto. For example, if you, Snake, went to Otto now and told him you had a way to revive Kallen, Otto might give you Schicksal in the next second."

"Childhood sweethearts, it’s such a touching story. Did he succeed in the end?"

Elysia continued to ask.

Seeing this, Bai Mo didn’t answer directly but chose to type it on the screen.

【[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister】: "Otto finally succeeded. He came into contact with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and created a world where Kallen was still alive, at the cost of his own demise."

259: The Contest Between the Snake and the Rabbit

Otto is dead?

Okay, let’s open the champagne.

What? Who is this glass for?

It’s for Otto.

Why keep the bottle?

Because I’m afraid he might come back, so I’ll hold on to it just in case.

..........

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "Before that, Otto proactively contacted the authority of imaginary numbers, made an agreement with it, and became a false god."

Speaking of this, Bai Mo had to point out one person: our Jackal!

(Jackal: "Otto? As everyone knows, Otto is just a coward hiding behind the Valkyrie.")

(Otto: "Ah, yes, yes, I killed through the imaginary space with just one drop of HP.")

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "So, Otto is the only one in the world who fulfilled his wish and turned this imperfect world into what he expected."

Every user of Judgement of Shamash is a pure love warrior!

Go! Big brother holding the Shamash, for the one you love! Go beyond this world! Defeat the laws that rule this world!

You can question everything Otto has done, but you can’t question his love for Kallen.

[I hate pink the most: "The authority of imaginary numbers, the false god... This bishop of Schicksal is really an interesting person."

After listening to Bai Mo's description of Otto, Mobius had a new view of Otto and even wanted to study him a little.

It seems this trip to Coral Island won’t disappoint her.

As for Elysia, she was more focused on everything Otto did for Kallen—turning this imperfect world into what he wanted. Achieving that condition was no easy feat.

But fortunately, the ending... although not perfect, Elysia also thinks it’s the best possible outcome for the bishop of Schicksal.

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "Otto, in his pseudo-god state, was indeed very powerful. But in the end, he still released the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Thankfully, he lost the Binding card; otherwise, the humans in that world would have been in big trouble."

Human: "Otto lost the Binding buff and made a lot of money!"

Honkai: "Otto lost the Binding buff and made a lot of money."

Otto: "Kallen! Kallen! Made a lot of money!"

[I hate pink the most]: "So, little white mouse, you observed the future of that Bubble World?"

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "Yes, that Bubble World was successful."

[I hate pink the most]: "Successful? You mean the humans in that Bubble World successfully expelled the Honkai?"

[I hate pink the most]: "How did they do it?"

When Bai Mo said this, even Mobius wasn’t calm, and of course, Elysia was shocked. This was the first time she’d heard such a thing.

If that’s true, why didn’t Su’s Velaka plan observe it?

A series of questions arose in their minds.

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "Rather than expelling, it’s more accurate to say that the Honkai was sealed. Kiana, who had turned into the Herrscher of Finality, was sealed on the moon. From then on, the humans in that Bubble World entered a new era."

Bai Mo didn’t hide this and immediately shared it. Besides, it had no bearing on the present, so there was no harm in saying it.

"Kiana? But isn’t the Herrscher of Finality you, Lau?"

This time, it was Elysia’s turn to be confused, as this didn’t match her expectations.

She had seen Kiana before. Though the girl had the power of the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Finality could only be Lau.

Even if Kevin had the power, it was stolen, not the true End.

When did a civilization have two Finality?

Even in other Bubble Worlds, such thing would never change.

Just like how Elysia could only be the Herrscher of the Origin and would never become an ordinary person.

Elysia was shocked by this.

"Ah... this is a bit troublesome to explain. Ellie, just pretend I’m not in that Bubble World."

When Elysia asked, Bai Mo really didn’t know what to say at first.

Should she reveal her identity and say she’s a transmigrator? No, Bai Mo feared that might scare Elysia.

It was better to find a chance to explain later.

Or, maybe she could bring Elysia into the chat group—then all the questions would be solved.

"It’s okay. Since it’s troublesome, I’ll wait for you to tell me when you’re ready, Lau."

Elysia responded calmly, showing no excessive excitement, but her response was considerate.

"Alas, if a girl has too many secrets, it’s really a bit distressing."

But in her heart, Elysia still grumbled in slight frustration.

"Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to you when I have the chance."

What more could a husband ask for with such a virtuous wife? Seeing Elysia cooperate so well, Bai Mo immediately smiled and said, her tone so sincere it nearly overflowed with emotion.

But just as one wave settled, another rose with new news from Mobius.

[I hate Pink the most] "Kiana?"

This almost made Bai Mo’s heart stop.

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "!!! Snake, you are not allowed to have any ideas about Kiana! She is not Finality now, and she never will be in the future."

Why hadn’t Bai Mo thought of this? If Mobius targeted Kiana, she might not even have a place to cry.

What a mistake! She should’ve been more careful with her words!

[I hate pink the most: "How can you be so sure she won’t be the End? Besides, it seems that you, little white mouse, have a good relationship with her."

Mobius didn’t think too much about Bai Mo’s words, but seeing how agitated she was, he decided to take revenge and teased her by pretending to show interest in Kiana.

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "I just know! And she’s one of my best friends. I advise you not to get your hopes up."

I hate pink the most: "Then it depends on your performance. Come to my laboratory tomorrow."

[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister: "Fine, fine, I’ll report on time tomorrow."

Bai Mo had no choice but to give in.

I hate pink the most: "Really? Since you want to come, little white mouse, then go ahead. I was just joking earlier."

After sending this message, Mobius, who was far away in the laboratory, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Who told these two to get so upset with me every day? This time, I’ll teach them a lesson!

----

Chapter 260 Klein, You Are My God!

Realizing she had been fooled, Bai Mo was very angry but had no choice.

After all, she didn’t know what Mobius was thinking. For Kiana, she had to compromise.

"Go! I might have missing arms and legs!"

[I Hate Pink the Most]: "I’ll see you in my laboratory at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope you, little white mouse, must abide by the time."

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "I know, I know, I will go."

[I Hate Pink the Most]: "Then, you must be mentally prepared."

[[I Have the Ambition to Be a Prime Minister]: "Don't worry, I will get a tattoo of Fahai before going."

After saying that, Bai Mo turned off the phone without thinking. If they continued chatting, she would almost shut herself up.

Obviously, they were talking about Otto; why did she suddenly get into trouble and burn herself?

Tsk! Sure enough, it’s better for Otto to die!

Blaming everything on Otto, Bai Mo turned around and went to ask Elysia for comfort.

At this time, Otto, who was far away at the headquarters of Schicksal, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill down his back.

Could his soulium body still catch a cold?

Feeling a sense of malice, Otto thought that something had changed on Coral Island, so he immediately made a video call to Rita.

On the other side, in Mobius's laboratory.

There hadn’t been any research projects recently, so both of them had a lot of free time. Otherwise, how could Mobius have time to confront Bai Mo?

Wearing home clothes, after finally cleaning the living room, Klein raised her head and lay on the sofa, taking a sip of milk tea beside her. The rich milk fragrance lingered in her mouth, and its delicate taste made Klein love it.

Whether it was after finishing an experiment or completing some work, as long as Klein was there, there would definitely be a cup of milk tea ready so she could replenish her energy at any time.

After a short break, the next second, Mobius’s voice came from the laboratory.

"Klein, go clean up the kitchen later."

"............"

Klein thought she had heard wrong and didn’t respond for a long time, but then Mobius repeated it, and she finally understood.

"Doctor? Have you finally figured it out? Are you going to learn to cook?"

Klein, who was drinking milk tea on the sofa, tilted her head and said in confusion.

After all, since the laboratory was built, although the kitchen was fully equipped, she had never seen Mobius go in. Even the door handle hadn’t been turned—it could be said to be a decoration.

After all, during the days in the laboratory, she and Mobius always had instant noodles for three meals a day, which she had been used to in the previous era period.

But now her own doctor suddenly said that she wanted to clean up the kitchen. She almost thought the sun was rising from the west.

Did her own doctor go crazy doing experiments?

"What are you thinking about? A nanny will come tomorrow, so we'll improve the food." The door to the living room was pushed open, and Mobius, wearing a white coat, slowly walked out of the laboratory and sat next to Klein. Looking at the milk tea and instant noodle bucket on the table, she couldn’t help but frown. However, thinking that she could get rid of these tomorrow, Mobius’ mood was slightly better. Instant noodles are convenient to eat, but you can’t stand eating them all the time, and it’s easy to vomit.

So when Bai Mo comes to her place tomorrow, Mobius also wants to squeeze her well. If you don’t cook for yourself for ten days or half a month, hum, you will bear the consequences.

"By the way, don’t clean up the house these days. Leave it to the white mouse tomorrow. Klein, you can rest."

Get a little wool and pull it hard. This...is not capital but better than capital!

Klein nodded after listening, and also prayed silently for Bai Mo in her heart.

"By the way, I'm going out with the white mouse and Kevin in two days. Klein, you can go out and buy some things while I’m away."

Kicking off his slippers, Mobius put her white legs on Klein's thighs and said casually.

Of course, the meaning of this sentence could also be understood as Mobius wants Klein to go out more instead of staying in the laboratory all the time.

But Klein didn’t reply in a hurry, instead, she habitually put her hand on Mobius's calf and began to massage it.

Klein didn’t understand what Mobius meant, but she really didn’t want to go out.

After all, if she went out, who would wash her doctor’s clothes, who would write the experimental report, who would mend the broken clothes...and a series of other tasks—all within her scope of responsibility.

996, 007 throughout the year, her salary was handed over as experimental funds, she worked as an assistant and a part-time nanny, and she toiled without complaint. Klein could be said to be the model worker of the year.

"Klein~Did you hear that?"

Using her toes to gently rub Klein’s thighs, Mobius adopted a little girl’s attitude and immediately said coquettishly.

"Doctor, but......."

"Don't say but. Look, the cushions of this sofa are all hard and uncomfortable."

"And this table, the area is too small, the air conditioner needs to be replaced, and this...After I leave, Klein, you go to Gray Serpent and ask him to send someone to purchase it. In addition, during the purchase period, Klein, you just follow the whole process."

In order to allow Klein to go out, Mobius was very painstaking and almost replaced everything in the laboratory.

Klein also sighed with a headache. In order to stop her own doctor from talking, she reluctantly accepted it.

After all, these furniture were bought less than a month ago. At this rate of spending, it seems that her salary for the past two months will be wasted again.

Sure enough, her own doctor is a money-eating beast.

"Alas...I'm going to clean the kitchen. Also, Doctor, I’ve just packed away all the instant noodles you secretly hid. Let's order takeout tonight."

Klein broke free from the grip of Mobius's legs and slowly stood up. After saying that, she walked toward the kitchen.

Only Mobius, who hadn’t reacted yet, was left lying on the sofa in a daze.

This is revenge! Naked revenge!

Those instant noodles were her rations for next month, and they were deducted from the budget with great difficulty!

----

Chapter 261: Mobius's Purpose

In the evening, Griseo was brought back by Sakura and Rin.

Seeing this, Bai Mo hurried to the kitchen and prepared a large meal. After all four of them ate, they played for a while before returning to their homes to get some rest.

Bai Mo took Griseo for a bath, then slowly lay down on the bed to sleep. After all, they had to report to Mobius's laboratory early the next morning. Life was truly miserable.

If possible, Bai Mo would even prefer to go out and fight the Herrscher.

The next morning, at eight o’clock.

Bai Mo arrived at Mobius’s laboratory an hour early.

It could also be called a residence, since the laboratory was located in the backyard of the house, similar to Sakura’s dojo.

Since Bai Mo wasn’t sure what would happen today, she didn’t bring little Griseo along.

Ding.

Upon arriving at the door, Bai Mo politely pressed the doorbell.

Less than a minute later, Klein, having received the message, came down in her pajamas. Upon seeing that the visitor was Bai Mo, she opened the door and welcomed her in.

"Long time no see, Klein. Snake... where's your doctor?"

Bai Mo said as she walked inside, trying to gather some information.

If Mobius was in a bad mood, then Bai Mo would be in trouble. After all, Mobius had told her to be mentally prepared yesterday. Was it really that scary?!

"The doctor just got up and is about to have breakfast."

Speaking of this, Klein gave Bai Mo a deep, meaningful look.

After all, her doctor had gotten up an hour ago and had no instant noodles to eat, so she was waiting for Bai Mo to cook for her.

As a senior, should she share some wisdom?

Thinking about what Bai Mo would face today, Klein couldn’t help but sigh. She patted Bai Mo on the shoulder, "Good luck, Aslaug."

"............"

Bai Mo was left confused after seeing Klein’s cryptic look.

For breakfast, a bucket of instant noodles should suffice, right? Isn’t this a traditional Mobius Institute staple? What else was there to consider?

Baffled, Bai Mo had to follow Klein into the house.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw...

Everything in front of her was white... Bai Mo wasn’t sure if Mobius did this intentionally, but anyway, it looked like she was wearing nothing but a white lab coat.

It looked like her boyfriend’s shirt!

A pair of long white legs were exposed to the air. If Bai Mo hadn’t seen Griseo so much, she might have had a hard time keeping her composure.

The benefits were tempting!

On the other side, noticing Bai Mo's gaze, Mobius didn't restrain herself. Instead, she took it a step further and casually lay down on the sofa.

"Do you think it looks good?"

"Looks good... ahem, I am a serious person. Snake, what are you talking about? I don’t understand at all!"

She truly was a snake demon! Bai Mo almost asked her to help with practice, but fortunately, she resisted the temptation and maintained her composure.

It seems she made a mistake not getting a Fahai tattoo.

While Bai Mo was getting back to her senses, Klein had already slipped away. Although Mobius had given her the day off, she couldn’t neglect the pile of research reports on her desk, so she decided to take advantage of the time to tackle them.

"Tell me, Snake, what do you want to do today? As long as you don’t have any plans for Kiana, I can agree to some conditions that aren’t too excessive."

After a while, Bai Mo looked at Mobius and said slowly, though her eyes kept glancing downward. Mobius, noticing this, found it quite amusing.

"Well... it’s nothing special, I just want you, little white mouse, to be my nanny for a few days. You’ll handle the laboratory’s hygiene and meals, and then help me with experiments when needed."

"How about it? These conditions aren’t excessive."

Not caring about the way she was addressed, Mobius stood up, walked over to Bai Mo, leaned in, and whispered in her ear.

"Not excessive."

While resisting Mobius's advances, Bai Mo replied.

Just a nanny? Hasn’t she been a nanny long enough?

And these conditions were indeed not too much, so Bai Mo had already mentally prepared herself before arriving (not that she wanted to, of course).

And so, Bai Mo began her first day as a nanny. From breakfast to dinner, she made everything Mobius wanted to eat. During this time, she was also responsible for hygiene and other tasks.

At the same time, Bai Mo assisted with Mobius's experiments as much as possible.

Thanks to her Power of Reason, Bai Mo was almost as effective as Klein as an experimental assistant. However, when it came to more specialized issues, Bai Mo naturally wasn’t as skilled.

The work continued until midnight. Mobius still didn’t want to let Bai Mo leave, and Bai Mo understood that she’d have to spend the night here.

Fortunately, the experiment was a success. At around two in the morning, they finally stopped working.

For the first time, Bai Mo realized the difficulty of being a researcher. It was an exhausting job.

"Want a midnight snack?" Bai Mo asked as she entered the living room and checked the time.

"If you want something, make it yourself," Mobius replied, not feeling particularly hungry, as she pointed toward the kitchen.

Of course, Bai Mo wasn’t shy. She immediately made a bowl of hot noodles and sat across from Mobius to eat.

After spending the day together, Bai Mo felt that Mobius wasn’t as frightening as she had imagined. At least she hadn’t done anything to her. Everything seemed normal.

"Snake, just ask whatever you want. I’m almost embarrassed to eat," Bai Mo said, noticing Mobius’s constant smile.

"It’s really interesting, little white mouse. In that case, I’ll ask directly."

"Yeah." Bai Mo nodded.

"In the Bubble World that successfully resisted the Honkai, since you’re close to the Herrscher of Finality—Kiana, the girl—what role do you play in all of this?"

By asking indirectly, Mobius tried to uncover Bai Mo’s role in the matter.

With multiple Herrscher powers and the ability to observe the Bubble World, Mobius couldn’t help but be curious.

She had wanted to ask this earlier during their phone call. Now that the opportunity had arisen, Mobius wasn’t going to let it slip away.

262 : Mobius Speculation

？ ？ ？

Good fellow, you are waiting for me here, right?

But then again, did I say that I had a good relationship with Kiana in that Bubble World?

No, I just emphasized that I had a good relationship with Kiana in this world, right? How can I be dragged into other Bubble Worlds?

The current scene also gave Bai Mo a headache. If she had known earlier, she would not have eaten any midnight snacks and would have gone straight to bed.

But headaches are headaches. Looking at Mobius's current posture, Bai Mo knows that if she doesn't explain the situation today, she might have to stay up all night until tomorrow morning and continue to waste time with her.

Sure enough, Mobius's words are lies. It seems that she asked me to be a nanny just to inquire about this matter.

Is it really necessary to go to so much trouble?

With a sigh, Bai Mo looked at Mobius helplessly and then slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"Think it over before you speak."

Looking at Bai Mo's troubled face, Mobius knew there must be something behind this.

"What do you mean by think it over? I have never existed in that Bubble World. Even if I have to say it, I am just an observer."

"Little white mouse, it's not fun to lie."

Of course, Mobius would not believe Bai Mo's words.

Because even if it is Su, to observe other Bubble Worlds, the basic condition is to ensure that he exists in this world, and he must have existed in other Bubble Worlds.

Both are indispensable. After all, this is the proof of a person's existence. The connection between thousands of worlds is like a parallel world.

Because there is you, there must be other you in adjacent Bubble Worlds.

For example, Kalpas came from outer space, but he was too deeply entangled with this world. The world recorded his existence, making him almost a native, allowing him to appear in various Bubble Worlds.

So Mobius would not believe Bai Mo's words and only thought that Bai Mo was hiding something.

After all, she can't exist only in this world, right? Then what is this? An illegal resident? Kalpas at least obtained a residence certificate.

"Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Seeing Mobius's distrust, Bai Mo just shook her head.

These days, no one believes the truth? People's hearts are really not what they used to be.

"Otherwise."

Waving her hand, Mobius still had doubts.

"Mobius, I'm not lying."

Although there was no Mimicry Judgment of Shamash pointing at Mobius's forehead, Bai Mo's words were undoubtedly like a sharp arrow, aimed at breaking her suspicion.

"You may not believe it, but everything I said is true. If Su were present, you could even ask him for confirmation."

"Everything observed by the Project Velaka should be able to prove that what I said is true."

Of course, it is impossible now. After all, Su himself was dragged away to play chess, and Su from Elysian Realm has not come out yet.

If you want to verify it, Mobius would have to wait, or go to Elysian Realm.

Bai Mo always had a faint smile on her face, and there was no sign of lying when she spoke. Mobius looked at her, her eyes dimming slightly, but she would definitely verify it.

Seeing that this question would not be answered for a while, Mobius decided to put it aside for now.

"How was the Herrscher of the Finality born? You must know the answer to this, little white mouse." Mobius continued to ask a different question.

"Why, Snake, do you still want to study this?"

"You just need to tell me whether you know it or not."

"......"

"Facing your truest self and gaining the recognition of the cocoon is the qualification to take over the end." Bai Mo said solemnly, her gaze sharp.

"As for the Cocoon of Finality, Snake, you can understand it as the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of the Finality. As long as it exists, the Herrscher of the Finality will continue to be born."

"And the other Herrschers are just the shadows of the Herrscher of Finality. They each hold a part of the power of the Herrscher of Finality. Theoretically speaking, if an individual can gather all the powers of the Herrscher, then she can also become the Herrscher of Finality."

"Of course, it is still very difficult to do this. Kevin is the only one who has succeeded from beginning to end."

"Really? As far as I know, aren't you, Little White Mouse, also collecting these powers?"

While speaking, Mobius took a deep look at Bai Mo.

In response, Bai Mo was not in a hurry and replied with the words she had prepared long ago.

"I just want to make up for the lack of my own strength, or do you think that the Herrscher of Finality is such a common thing, Mobius?"

"Although Kevin used a method that was almost like stealing to gather power, that was only after he was recognized by the cocoon."

"As for me, I don't have this ability."

Shaking her head, Bai Mo said with regret.

As if Bai Mo really regretted that she couldn't become the Herrscher of Finality.

So much so that Mobius couldn't tell the truth from the false for a while.

In response, Bai Mo just laughed secretly in her heart.

After all, I am already the Herrscher of Finality. Do I have to take the exam again?

Screw the Cocoon of Finality, the system's products must be high-quality products, understand!

.................

After a long time, Mobius recovered from the words just now.

"Don't be so absolute. I am more and more interested in you, little white mouse, so..."

"No, I am the kind of person who sells art but not my body. Girl, please don't tease me anymore."

Hey, you want to trick me onto the experimental table? Don't even think about it!

Bai Mo knew all the little calculations in Mobius's mind.

"Don't worry, one day you, little white mouse, will lie on my experimental table willingly."

Mobius was not in a hurry about this. Besides, it was enough to get so much information today. In the future, she would have plenty of opportunities to prove her guess.

Collecting the power of the Herrscher is just to enhance one's own strength?

I believe no one would believe this nonsense.

And Kevin? Mobius would not believe that he knew nothing about these things.

These two people have been tacitly aware of each other from the beginning to the end. There must be some secrets that cannot be revealed.

So what Mobius has to do now is to dig out this secret.

Coral Island, the Fifth Eruption.

From the time when Kevin gave Bai Mo the Gem of Desire to let her absorb the power, and the news obtained tonight, Kevin might also give her the Ice Ruler's core in the next step.

What is this? A guide who escorts and protects?

Chapter 263: Mobius's Defeat

Another hour passed.

"Haa..."

"Snake, do you have anything else to ask? If you keep going like this, it will be dawn soon. I still want to get some sleep."

Seeing that Mobius had not spoken, Bai Mo said with some resentment.

She had yawned three times. If she didn't sleep, dark circles would appear under her eyes soon.

"Go to sleep. Pick any room. Remember to wake up early tomorrow morning. Your babysitting duties aren't over yet."

Getting up and patting Bai Mo's shoulder, Mobius said softly, then turned around and slipped back to her room, leaving only the silhouette of her back.

She also needed some time to digest the news she had learned tonight. She should get some rest now. After all, you can't make a fat man out of one bite.

............

She really left like this? She didn't even say anything like "warm my bed."

Sure enough, snakes are cold-blooded creatures.

Watching Mobius's departing back, Bai Mo silently complained in her heart. Of course, it was just a complaint. If Mobius had really suggested warming her bed, Bai Mo would definitely not have dared to sleep.

Then, Bai Mo picked a room. The sheets and blankets were neatly arranged. Klein must have cleaned them in advance.

Lying on the bed, Bai Mo couldn't help but sigh about the events of the day.

Was she tired? Not physically tired, but mentally exhausted.

Just from their conversation, Bai Mo felt that if she wasn't careful, she would be consumed by Mobius. This wasn't just about being greedy for her body.

And you had to be very careful when talking to Mobius. Otherwise, you'd fall into a pit you couldn't climb out of.

After all, she had many secrets, so it was normal for Mobius to be curious. But she didn’t plan on keeping these secrets forever; she just wanted to share them at the right time.

As she thought about it, exhaustion slowly overtook her, and Bai Mo fell asleep quickly.

................

In her dream, she was under a waterfall, with thousands of streams of water pouring over her head and a snake demon beside her. She was clearly tempering her character.

But Bai Mo was still a novice and was eventually defeated by the Ouroboros. She fell onto its body and into a soft place.

Although there were no tools to commit the crime, she defeated the snake demon with her superb skills and regained 10%.

This is what it means to be proud.

But dreams are always dreams, and they are illusions—what you think they are.

In the morning, the sun rose, and a ray of sunlight shone in, hitting Bai Mo's face. But the light wasn't strong enough to wake her up.

Half an hour later, with a click, the door to Bai Mo's room opened.

A petite figure with long green hair entered and strode to the head of her bed.

Looking at Bai Mo, who was still drooling while hugging the quilt, Mobius was immediately furious. What was the point of waiting for her to wake up?

With a slight frown, Mobius finally decided to teach her a lesson.

A pair of mischievous little hands slowly reached toward Bai Mo and stopped just at the tip of her nose.

With her chest rising and falling slightly and her warm breath exhaling, Bai Mo looked like she was sleeping very sweetly, unaware of the crisis right in front of her.

Seeing this, a smug look appeared on Mobius's face. She waited for the right moment, then pinched Bai Mo's nose and covered her mouth with her other hand.

This move was often used by Klein when she was lazy in bed. Having learned it from her, Mobius didn't believe Bai Mo could continue sleeping under such an attack.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Let's see if you can still sleep now!"

"If you don't wake up, I'll put you on the operating table for experiments!"

Sitting across Bai Mo's thighs, Mobius gritted her teeth.

But despite this, she didn't apply much force; she was just waiting and watching.

Time passed… But gradually, Mobius realized something was wrong.

She forgot... The Herrscher can survive without breathing...

Mobius suddenly had a realization and felt like a fool at that moment.

"........."

And at that moment, Bai Mo, who had been lying flat on the bed, suddenly moved.

"Hmm..."

As though she had eaten something in a dream, Bai Mo's teeth moved slightly, and the tip of her tongue carefully poked out.

But before her tongue was fully extended, it was blocked by something. Feeling the softness, Bai Mo subconsciously opened her mouth and bit down.

"Hiss!"

Not reacting immediately, Mobius, who was bitten, quickly withdrew her little hand, as though electrocuted.

Who said rabbits don't eat grass near their nests? Eat when you're anxious!

Feeling the 'food' fly away from her mouth, Bai Mo pouted in dissatisfaction in her sleep.

"Little white mouse! You're dead!"

On the other side, with flushed cheeks and wide eyes, Mobius was breathing rapidly and was about to punch Bai Mo in the lower abdomen.

But at that moment, Bai Mo appeared to sense something and subconsciously turned over to avoid it.

Mobius couldn’t keep her balance and fell with Bai Mo's movement.

Her face crashed into Bai Mo's chest, and the faint scent of jasmine wafted up. Mobius felt that this morning was her most unlucky day.

Just when she wanted to struggle to get up, Bai Mo's legs were placed directly on her waist. Then a pair of small hands reached out, using Mobius as a pillow and pulling her into an embrace.

Because she often slept with Griseo, Bai Mo had picked up some of her habits over time.

............

"Hey hey... Ellie, stop it."

"No, it's too itchy there."

"Hmm... Little Griseo is so soft, much better than your Grandma Mobius."

While hugging Mobius, Bai Mo muttered in her sleep.

Little did she know, each time she spoke in her sleep, Mobius’s fist clenched a little tighter.

When the words "Grandma Mobius" came out, Mobius couldn't take it anymore, and it was like she was about to kill Bai Mo.

"Ya-s-la-qi!"

With a little tremor, Mobius broke free from Bai Mo’s restraints and grabbed both of her ears—one with each hand—and pulled them hard!

"Ah!! You're killing me!!"

Instantly, a sharp pain pulled Bai Mo back from her sleep.

"Snake, what are you doing? I won't obey you even if you use violence again." After waking up and seeing who was there, Bai Mo shouted. If someone didn’t know better, they'd think she was the one being bullied.

----

Chapter 264: Entering the Village Quietly

Did the dream she had last night come true? But this seems unlikely.

However, why is Snake's face so red?

And my chest is still wet, and there are wrinkles in my clothes.

Touching it with her fingers, Bai Mo is more and more sure that it is saliva.

Looking up at Mobius, Bai Mo thought something. It seems she has discovered some truth.

But then again, if Mobius is greedy for her body, why did she get up?

Is it because of love and hate? She wants to kill herself!

The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it became. Bai Mo couldn't help but shudder.

"No, by the way, why are you in my bed, Snake?"

Rubbing her red ears, Bai Mo pretended to know nothing and said.

But what she got in return was a rolled eye from Mobius and a fist as big as a sandbag.

Don’t you know what you did! You still have the nerve to ask me!

At this point, Mobius was considering whether to live on another planet.

Sure enough, how could such a person become the Herrscher of Finality! She is simply an incurable slut!

Mobius vented her dissatisfaction, and her fists fell like raindrops, hitting Bai Mo's belly.

After all, she couldn't describe everything that had just happened again; that would simply cost her life.

"It hurts! I won’t ask, okay, I won’t ask!"

However, Bai Mo just felt that Mobius was arrogant again, unwilling to admit that she was greedy for her body, and climbed onto her bed.

"Hurry up and get up! Today, all the corpses of the Honkai beasts will be left to you to dissect!"

"Also, hurry up and prepare breakfast now!"

After stopping, Mobius pointed outside the door and said through gritted teeth.

It seemed that only by letting Bai Mo do more work could she make up for the shame and anger in her heart.

"Tsk... all these works are the same as what I didn't do yesterday..."

Seeing this, Bai Mo pouted, then whispered with disdain in her eyes.

"What did you say?"

Mobius, who caught something, turned around and frightened Bai Mo.

That is, can you wait until others leave before saying bad things?

"Nothing, nothing, I’ll get up now."

........

"Huh? Snake, why haven't you left yet? Do you want to watch me change clothes? Actually, I don't mind."

Seeing that Mobius was still staring at her, Bai Mo decided to tease her one last time.

"Aslaug, die!"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mobius jumped off the bed directly, threw the slippers on her feet over, and left without looking back.

Bai Mo dodged the flying slippers and looked at Mobius's departing back with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Tsundere has retired, Snake!

Bang!

The bedroom door slammed shut with a heavy sound.

Before closing the door, Mobius gritted her teeth and glanced at Bai Mo, as if to say, "If you don't get up, I'll grab you and put you on the operating table."

"I haven't seen Mobius like this for a long time. It turns out that you are still awesome, Lau."

From the beginning to the end, Elysia had been subconsciously watching, including when Bai Mo used Mobius as a pillow. At this moment, Elysia finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Good for you, Ellie, you have been watching the fun all the time, right!"

Bai Mo was also confused by Elysia's performance.

I am awesome? How awesome am I?

Also, since this woman saw everything, why didn't she come out to help me!?

Tsk!

Bai Mo silently gave Elysia a hint in her heart, then didn't care about anything anymore.

"Hehe, I'm not just watching the fun! I just didn't want to disturb it. After all, this kind of scene is rare in a hundred years!"

Elysia shook her head and said with a smile. It's a pity. If she had known that Mobius would be taken advantage of, she would have definitely prepared a camera to record it.

What a pity! It's such a pity!

"So, what happened just now?"

Hearing Elysia's words, it seemed like there was a big melon, and Bai Mo couldn’t help asking.

But this melon seemed to come from herself, which made her a little speechless.

"Well, I think it would be better for you to ask Mobius yourself, Lau! Maybe there will be some unexpected developments!"

"???"

Ask myself? Forget it. The so-called unexpected development may be a day trip to the operating table.

"Forget it, I have to get up and babysit Snake. How about you, Ellie, take my place?"

Slowly taking off her pajamas, Bai Mo said softly.

However, the next second, Elysia seemed to disappear, and her voice never appeared again.

"Heh, woman."

....................

For the next day, Bai Mo did this and that under the arrangement of Mobius, and the intensity of the task was much higher than yesterday.

Just in terms of dissecting the bodies of Honkai beasts and zombies, Bai Mo felt like vomiting.

But fortunately, she could get rid of this kind of life tomorrow, and her mood couldn't help but improve a little.

After all, according to the agreement, she must leave for Coral Island tomorrow to pick up Ana and the others, so let the babysitter life go to hell.

At night, Bai Mo came to the chat group and began to discuss tomorrow's actions with Ana.

Originally, Bai Mo thought that after Ana sent out the commission, she would open the imaginary gate and take Ana and the others away. This would be efficient and convenient.

But after chatting with Ana for a while, Bai Mo felt that her idea was a bit unrealistic.

Because as it happens, Ana will lead the Valkyrie Squad sent by the Schicksal Headquarters to patrol the entire island tomorrow, and it is very likely that Rita will follow.

So this operation is likely to involve a battle.

However, according to the prediction, a small Honkai will break out on Coral Island tomorrow, and Bai Mo can take this opportunity to create more chaos to achieve the effect of concealing others.

Enter the village quietly, don't shoot!

[Aslaug]: "We must be more careful in this operation and don’t let Rita see anything."

[Ana. Schariac]: "Don't worry, senior."

[Aslaug]: "By the way, Ana, do the members of your Squad know about this? Don't let anything happen..."

[Ana. Schariac]: "I mentioned it vaguely a few times, but I didn’t say it directly. Their reactions were okay, and they didn’t mean to resist. Anyway, you just take them away when the time comes. I will explain it clearly later."

[Aslaug]: "Well, it's best if you're mentally prepared."

-----

Chapter 265: Getting Ready to Go

Bai Mo's worry is normal. After all, if Ana doesn't tell her Squad members anything, when she shows up, they will see that she is a Herrscher and will attack her on the spot.

Rita doesn't even need to do anything; she will backstab her directly.

Little did she know that Ana didn't tell her Squad members that Bai Mo was a Herrscher.

She just said that the person who came was a very reliable senior of hers, the kind that is trustworthy.

It's really happy.

[Aslaug]: "Then Ana, you have to work harder tonight and do some ideological work for them."

After all, leaving the Valkyrie profession all of a sudden and switching to the World Serpent will definitely be difficult to adapt to.

However, fortunately, the positions of the Snow Lotus Squad are not very important, and they can be sent to remote areas such as Coral Island. She guess they don't have a strong sense of belonging to Schicksal Headquarters.

[Ana. Schariac]: "Yeah! Then you just wait for my news tomorrow, senior!"

[Aslaug]: "A cloud-piercing arrow!"

[Ana. Schariac]: "Thousands of troops are coming to meet you!"

[Aslaug]: "Okay, okay, no more trouble. If there is anything, let's talk about it when we come back tomorrow!"

[Ana. Schariac]: "Okay, senior!"

.............

"Yeah...ah."

After finishing the conversation, Bai Mo stretched comfortably on the sofa.

Tonight, she still did not go home, but chose to stay here with Mobius.

"You've worked hard. Would you like a cup of milk tea?"

At this time, Klein came over from behind the sofa with two cups of milk tea.

This was an extra cup she bought on purpose, just to reward Bai Mo. After all, because of Bai Mo's presence, her workload in the past few days has been greatly reduced.

"Sure!"

"Thank you, Klein. I haven't had milk tea for a long time."

"Hehe, this time it's all thanks to you. I'll treat you next time if I have a chance."

Bai Mo smiled and took the milk tea from Klein, then couldn't help but take a sip.

Hmm! It still tasted the same, and the pearls also had a burnt aroma, which was her favorite taste.

"You're welcome. It's getting late. Go to bed early after you finish. I'm going back to my room to continue writing the lab report."

Waving her hand to show that it was nothing, Klein was still as quiet as ever and turned to leave.

"Yeah! Then Klein, you should go to bed early too."

Waving her hand, Bai Mo responded with a smile.

Alas, since Klein came into her life, Mobius has become more and more lazy.

Thinking about how she almost pulled me up all night last night, she ended up going to bed early tonight.

Hiss...

By the way, should she take advantage of Mobius's sleep to launch a night raid? After all, she can't suffer the same loss as in the morning.

I've posted and returned it; isn't it easy to stick to her again!

Looking at Mobius's room, Bai Mo's eyes gradually became dangerous.

But in the end, reason prevailed and prevented her from making such a dangerous move.

Don't let desire defeat your will!

After drinking the milk tea in her hand, Bai Mo returned to her room.

On the desk was her ever-changing mask, which was maintained again today by Mobius.

She picked it up and looked at it carefully. After finding that there was no change, Bai Mo, who felt a little bored, quickly went to bed.

Time flies, and the night passed quickly.

When she opened her eyes again, Bai Mo had changed her clothes and was ready to respond to Ana's call at any time.

The mask was tightly attached to her face. As for her appearance, it was naturally our little March!

"Are you ready to go?"

Looking at Bai Mo, who was already wearing a mask in the living room, Mobius, who had come out of the laboratory, said softly.

"It's still a little while, but it will be soon."

...........................................................

On the other side, Coral Island.

They gathered early in the morning. At this time, the Snow Lotus Squad led by Ana had already joined the Immortal Blade Squad.

As expected, Rita and Durandal were also in the Squad.

Because, according to the report, the area covered by this small eruption is much larger than the previous ones.

So, in order to ensure that more people would not be hurt, Durandal chose to join this operation; otherwise, it would have been only Rita.

Now, Ana became a little nervous from her previous peace of mind.

Durandal is known as the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, and she has no pressure fighting against the Herrscher, so she is now starting to worry about Bai Mo.

After all, Ana had never seen Bai Mo's strength, so it was normal for her to have this worry.

During the period, Ana found excuses to leave several times, and she also took the opportunity to send a message to Bai Mo, asking her to be more careful. If it really didn't work, she could cancel the operation.

But Bai Mo's reply to her was always just two words: "Rest assured," and Bai Mo also stated that she had fought with Durandal before. So, this worry was really not a big deal, which made Ana dispel her uneasiness.

Returning to the Squad, Ana was obviously much more relaxed, but her little movements were seen by Rita not far away.

"Little Ana, are you sure your senior will come later? After all, if this is the case..."

Seeing Ana come back, Amy couldn't help but come up and ask.

At the same time, Jones and Pete also looked over here curiously.

After Ana's explanation last night, they also knew that Coral Island was about to erupt in the Fifth Eruption, and that the headquarters would use them as sacrifices at any time.

In fact, through these days of work, they had already guessed it in their hearts, but they didn't expect that things were far more complicated than they imagined.

So, they naturally couldn't accept this kind of thing. Compared to dying in such a worthless way, they would rather die on the battlefield with dignity.

After that, they also unanimously decided to follow Ana to leave Schicksal and go to the World Serpent.

Who can give up the opportunity to continue living? Not to mention that they also believe Ana will not deceive them for no reason.

"Hush! Don't worry, the senior said that we should be at ease."

Seeing this, Ana also made a gesture, indicating that everyone should not reveal any flaws.

Everything after that will be arranged by her.

-----

Chapter 266: Coral Island Turmoil

.................. During the patrol, the Valkyries of the Immortal Blade Squad were constantly observing the concentration of the surrounding Honkai energy.

"Miss Ana, are you worried about something? You've been absent-minded since just now."

"No... no, I just have a bad feeling about the next Honkai that will happen. After all, the scale of this one will be much larger than before, right?"

Rita's sudden question made her a little nervous, but in order not to be discovered, Ana quickly found a reasonable excuse to cover it up.

"Don't worry. With Lord Durandal here, this Honkai can be solved quickly."

"If Miss Ana is nervous, she might as well take a break and catch up with the Squad after she has adjusted."

Wearing a combat uniform and holding a sickle, Rita always had a smile on her face.

"Like Rita said, Miss Ana, if you feel unwell, you can take a rest."

At this time, Durandal also nodded and agreed. After all, she could handle this level of Honkai by herself.

But patrolling together is a system issue and cannot be changed; otherwise, Durandal would never be so troublesome.

"No... no, I feel pretty good now. I was just a little nervous earlier."

Seeing this, Ana smiled and waved her hand, then rejected the proposal of the two.

Although she also wanted to slip away, the problem was that Amy and the others had to stay here, which didn’t align with the plan she and Bai Mo had set.

"Okay, in that case, Miss Ana, you’ll have to work hard."

"Lady Rita! The area north of the coral island has just shown a very active Honkai energy reaction, and the concentration of Honkai energy there is still increasing. We have reason to believe that today’s small Honkai will break out there."

At this time, a Valkyrie from the Immortal Blade Squad suddenly ran over with a detector in her hand.

"The northern area... How much area is covered?" Rita frowned and asked.

"Report to Lady Rita, it is predicted that the area covered by this Eruption will reach a quarter of the entire island. According to the current situation, there are still ten minutes before the Honkai breaks out," the Valkyrie reported, providing all the information currently known.

"Lady Durandal..." Seeing this, Rita glanced at Durandal, waiting for her to give orders.

"Go, notify the scientific researchers in the northern area to retreat immediately, and quickly."

"In addition, the Immortal Blade Squad and the Snow Lotus Squad, all the Valkyries follow me!" Without hesitation, Durandal decisively gave her orders. What they needed most now was time, and there could be no hesitation in this matter.

"Yes!" The Valkyries of the Immortal Blade Squad responded in unison, then Ana, Amy, and the others exchanged looks and followed.

A hundred or so people started running together. At the same time, the northern area that received the notice quickly issued a retreat order, leaving only a few Valkyries waiting to join.

.............................

Ten minutes was neither long nor short. When Durandal and the others arrived, the Honkai had only erupted a few minutes ago.

Because the retreat order was issued very timely, there were not many zombies catalyzed by the Honkai here. There were only some Honkai beasts still fighting with the Valkyries who had stayed behind.

Seeing this, Durandal didn’t need to say anything. The Valkyries of the Immortal Blade Squad rushed forward, and Ana and the others also went to support.

However, these Honkai beasts had better numbers, covering a quarter of the entire coral island, and they could be seen almost everywhere.

The research institute built here had also been completely destroyed, with thick smoke and flames engulfing everything around it, delivering a devastating blow to the island’s ecosystem.

However, things had come to this point, and the Fifth Eruption would eventually occur.

The ecosystem of Coral Island? No, no, no, it could be said that the entire Coral Island—these things were no longer important to Schicksal.

Two white figures shuttled through the battlefield. Wherever they passed, all the collapsed beasts were like paper, seeming vulnerable.

Wearing the Excelsis Battlesuit, Durandal held the Black Abyss White Flower and fell from the sky, landing among a group of Honkai beasts.

Dust flew everywhere, and several Honkai beasts were directly blown away by the impact.

The long spear in her hand frequently came out, with a trace of withering power. The tip of the spear swept across, solving a large group of Honkai beasts.

Without pausing, after solving this side, Durandal rushed to another place where Honkai beasts were gathering.

Then the white flower bloomed, and the power of creation acted on all the Valkyries nearby, healing their injuries.

The guardian knights she summoned also shuttled through various locations on the battlefield to lend a hand.

The other set of Argent Knight was worn by Rita. She had transformed into a blue knight, just like the white god of death. Every time she swung the sickle in her hand, a life disappeared from this world.

The cold wave released by the sickle named Skadi covered a large area of the battlefield.

Except for the Valkyries, everything in its path was frozen and turned into ice sculptures, shining with a ray of light under the sunlight.

But the outbreak of Honkai continued, and a steady stream of Honkai beasts were born. Many Valkyries also turned into zombies because they could not hold on.

Durandal roughly calculated that even if she and Rita used all their strength, it would take nearly 20 minutes to solve this Eruption.

"Rita, speed up."

"Understood, Lord Durandal."

The two looked at each other on the battlefield, then unlocked the restrictions of the armor.

.........................

"Amy, Jones, Pete, be careful and don’t get hurt."

On the other side, while cleaning up the Honkai beasts, Ana quietly gestured to the three people to indicate they should not be too far away from her, so as not to attract attention.

She planned to send a commission to Bai Mo next. Since she couldn’t avoid it, she might as well take action now, while things were more chaotic.

After all, the Valkyries of the Immortal Blade Squad were stronger than each other. A Honkai beast couldn’t even last two minutes under their hands, let alone Durandal and Rita. These two were simply cutting melons and vegetables.

"Understood!" ×3

After seeing it, the three nodded in tacit understanding, then quickly came to Ana’s side and protected her behind them.

[Ana Schariac]: "Senior! The Honkai has broken out, we can act now!"

[Aslaug]: "Here we go!"

-----

Chapter 267: Bai Mo: What? Want Revenge?

With the release of the commission, two connected portals appeared above Coral Island and at Mobius's residence.

"Be careful on the road, little white mouse. Don't let anyone bully you outside."

In the living room, as Bai Mo had one foot already in the portal, Mobius spoke softly.

For some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to be tough at this moment.

"Don't worry, who could bully me? I'm just going to pick up a few people. I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo smiled back and gave a reassuring look before stepping into the portal.

.................................................

At the same time, on Coral Island.

Under the leadership of Durandal and Rita, the Honkai beasts in the northern area of Coral Island had been eliminated by 50%.

At this point, the Honkai outbreak had ceased, leaving only the last 50% of Honkai beasts scattered across the island.

Everyone took a moment to catch their breath. Looking at the bodies of their fallen comrades around them, a trace of exhaustion appeared on the faces of the Valkyries.

Even though there were no casualties on their side, the Snow Lotus Squad, led by Ana, couldn’t hide their sadness after witnessing such a tragic battle.

Just as everyone was immersed in this sorrow, the Honkai energy that had been gradually subsiding suddenly spiked sharply!

The instrument used by the Immortal Blade Squad to detect Honkai energy emitted a burst of red light, triggering a piercing alarm.

Some nearby Honkai beasts were also affected, falling into a frenzy.

However, whether it was the rise in Honkai energy or the rage of the beasts, these were all minor issues.

But upon hearing that piercing alarm, the situation changed, and despair swept across the battlefield.

This type of alarm could only sound when a Herrscher descended!

Durandal and Rita were the first to react, and the first to feel disbelief.

Could it be that the fifth Herrscher has arrived early? The Honkai energy released by this event seemed insufficient to birth a Herrscher.

But reality is reality. After the initial shock, Durandal began considering whether to request reinforcements from headquarters.

"Herrscher... Did I hear that correctly, little Ana? Is a Herrscher about to be born here?!"

"Yes, if a Herrscher appears..."

When the three members of the Snow Lotus Squad heard that a Herrscher had appeared, they instantly became nervous and huddled together, as if they were not hoping to be born on the same day, in the same month, of the same year—but to die together on the same day, in the same month, of the same year.

Ana, seeing this, facepalmed. After all, it was her fault that this situation had occurred. But more importantly, Ana felt a sense of relief.

After all, this Herrscher is one of us!

"Don't be afraid, this Herrscher is me and..."

"Oh! It seems that everyone is welcoming my arrival. What a spectacle! What can I say now~"

Just as Ana was about to explain to the frightened Squad, Bai Mo's figure suddenly appeared in the sky, not far from them.

Holding a folding fan, Bai Mo playfully covered half her face with it.

At first glance, it made her seem quite disdainful.

Quietly, Bai Mo exchanged a glance with Ana when no one else was looking, signaling her in secret.

After all, in a sense, this was the first time the two had met.

"Rita."

"Understood, Lord Durandal."

The distress signal had been sent. The two exchanged a tacit look, then aimed their weapons at Bai Mo in the sky.

What they needed to do now was delay Bai Mo as much as possible and wait for reinforcements from headquarters. For this, Otto had even sent Fu Hua.

With such a powerful lineup, they were sure it would be more than enough to eliminate a Herrscher.

"Everyone, stay alert and prepare for battle!"

With Durandal's command, all the Valkyries on the battlefield, though nervous, raised their weapons. This also included Amy and the other two, who were unaware of the situation.

"..."

Bai Mo noticed something was off. It was fine if others wanted to fight back, but why was the Snow Lotus Squad involved?

This didn’t seem like an act—it really felt like being stabbed!

But after carefully observing Amy and the others’ expressions, Bai Mo quickly realized that Ana hadn't explained to them that the person coming to pick them up was a Herrscher.

A headache...

But it was better this way. Compared to forcibly taking the Snow Lotus Squad away and making them bear the stigma of traitors, Bai Mo would rather put on a little show to make this scene more exciting.

At this point, Bai Mo’s presence grew more imposing.

"A defeated general dares to act so arrogantly here?"

"...Is it you?!"

Durandal’s face changed.

Even though she had no initial recognition of Bai Mo’s appearance when she first saw her, Durandal still felt a sense of familiarity. Now, Bai Mo's words confirmed her suspicion.

This Herrscher was the same one she had fought at Fate Airport.

At the same time, Rita also understood, and her face grew more serious.

"Why? Want revenge?"

"You should know you can’t defeat me with your strength."

Looking at Durandal’s angry expression, Bai Mo wore a playful smile.

"Put away your arrogance. How can you know unless you try?"

"I know. You can't beat me."

As she said this, Bai Mo nodded seriously, which only served to further infuriate Durandal.

"You... there's no point in talking more! Let me see your power again, Herrscher!"

As she spoke, Durandal prepared to fly up with the Black Abyss White Flower, but Bai Mo's next move stopped her in her tracks.

Bai Mo zipped through the sky and instantly appeared beside the Snow Lotus Squad. This sudden move frightened the Snow Lotus Squad to their core.

"What do you want to do?!"

Fearing that Bai Mo might hurt them, Durandal hesitated to advance, standing her ground while glaring at Bai Mo.

"What do I want to do? Are all of you humans this stupid? Or do you really not see what I'm about to do?"

As she spoke, Bai Mo took advantage of Ana’s inattention, grabbing her neck. Behind her, a Imaginary Portal appeared, and Bai Mo began to push Ana into it, inch by inch.

(Of course, Bai Mo wasn't using any force.)

-----

Chapter 268: The Battle Begins

"Little Ana!"

"Ana!"

"Ana!"

Amy and the other two beside her couldn't care less and immediately moved forward to grab Bai Mo.

In response, Bai Mo simply constructed a barrier of Honkai energy to isolate the three of them outside, preventing them from moving forward.

"Ana, cooperate a little. Just pretend you don't know me, show some performance, and let's put on a show for Schicksal."

Using the power of the Herrscher of Sentience, Bai Mo quietly sent a message to Ana.

"I understand, senior."

Realizing that Bai Mo was thinking about them, Ana was instantly possessed by the movie emperor persona. She looked pained, her body still struggling, with fear in her eyes.

Amy and the others were now even more anxious. If it weren't for the barrier blocking them, the three of them would probably have rushed up to fight Bai Mo to the death.

"I guess you, Schicksal, already know that Coral Island is going to experience its Fifth Eruption, but aren't you curious about who will be the Herrscher this time~?"

Ignoring the small movements of the three, Bai Mo looked at Durandal and Rita and said jokingly.

He looked as arrogant as possible, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"What do you want to say?"

Durandal didn’t find it strange that Bai Mo knew Coral Island was about to Honkai. What intrigued her was what he said next.

After all, it was something that would happen in the future. Could it be that the World Serpent already had this ability?

What Bai Mo said made Durandal involuntarily think of the [Forerunner], Su, who observed the world.

Thinking that there were other [Forerunners] in the World Serpent, Durandal had already believed half of what Bai Mo said.

"Ana Schariace."

"What! You mean..."

Hearing this familiar name, Durandal looked at Ana, who was struggling, with a complicated expression.

"Isn't what I said clear enough? Ana Schariace is the one who will be chosen as the fifth Herrscher."

As soon as Bai Mo said this, everyone present wore an expression of disbelief. After all, in their eyes, what Bai Mo said had no evidence to back it up.

"You **! How could Ana be chosen as the Herrscher!"

"You damn Herrscher! Put Ana down if you have the guts!"

"A Herrscher says this, do you think we’ll believe you!"

The faces of the three members of the Snow Lotus Squad showed anger. If looks could kill, Bai Mo would have died tens of millions of times in that moment.

Bai Mo shook her head regretfully. "Alas... these days, no one believes the truth anymore~"

"In short, our World Serpent needs Miss Ana’s cooperation. It just so happens that this also solves a major hidden danger for your Schicksal. Logically, you should thank me more~"

"Shameless!"

The power of withering gathered at the tip of Durandal's gun, clearly showing that she was on the verge of exploding.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"In return, I’ll provide you with the following information."

Knowing that Durandal would react like this, Bai Mo waved her hand indifferently, then continued, "First, after Miss Ana is taken away by me, Honkai will re-select a suitable creature to become a Herrscher. This applies to all mechanical creations, not just humans. Of course, this principle also applies to all Herrschers who appear later."

"The second point is the fifth Herrscher. Her power specifically manifests as the ability to control frost, so you, Schicksal, must prepare well~"

"How about it? This information is very useful to you~ Want to thank me specially?"

Bai Mo’s face broke into a playful smile, looking like a mischievous little girl.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, these Valkyries would never believe that such a jumpy person in front of them could be a Herrscher.

"According to what you said, Miss Ana will be disqualified from becoming a Herrscher after this. So, what are you World Serpents doing? Saving people?"

Rita questioned Bai Mo aloud, skeptical of everything he had said.

If they delayed for a while, it would take another ten minutes for headquarters to provide support, and she was silently reciting this in her mind.

"You really think too much. We’re doing this for... Oh, it seems that this maid has also learned bad habits and actually wants to trick them~"

Bai Mo smiled. Of course, this was all part of the plan. Things are unpredictable—truth and falsehood, the so-called truth—let them guess it themselves.

After all, if she just gave a reason, Schicksal would definitely notice the clues later on.

She wrote the beginning and the description of the subsequent events, and then wouldn’t worry about the rest.

Thinking of this, and seeing that the time was nearly ripe, Bai Mo glanced at Ana, who was still struggling in her hands. She silently apologized in her heart, then knocked her out with a ruthless strike before kicking her into the Imaginary Portal.

However, because the Power of Sentience had spread throughout the entire venue, Bai Mo’s actions appeared to the others as if Ana was being strangled to death and then kicked into the air after being tortured to the point of vomiting blood.

Poor Ana couldn’t speak a word from the start, after all, if she was strangled, she couldn’t make a sound.

The event happened so suddenly that they didn’t even have time to react.

Then, Bai Mo withdrew the barrier of Honkai energy, for next, she would attack Ana’s Squadmates.

"Herrscher!"

After breaking free from the influence of the power, the three members of the Snow Lotus Squad rushed toward Bai Mo together.

Although they knew Ana wasn’t dead, seeing that scene left their hearts in turmoil.

Obviously, today was the day they were supposed to leave Coral Island... but why had things developed like this?

Pushing all the blame onto Bai Mo, the three of them unleashed unprecedented strength at that moment.

This also included Durandal, Rita, and all the Valkyries of the Immortal Blade Squad in the distance.

.............

"Come on, try to please me as much as possible!"

Bai Mo opened her hands after saying that, and then a thunderbolt appeared, condensing into the Seven Thunders of Retribution in her hands.

She leaned forward slightly, holding the sword with one hand, and activated the sword skill belonging to [Setsuna].

In an instant, the three members of the Snow Lotus Squad were ruthlessly knocked away by Bai Mo.

"Ahhh!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn Herrscher!"

The residual power of the thunderbolt raged through their bodies, leaving scars all over them.

----

Chapter 269: The Time of Fierce Fighting! The So-Called [Setsuna]

"Is the Valkyrie of Schicksal really like this~"

Almost instantly, the Power of Sentience invaded everything, and the agitated Honkai beasts began to attack the Immortal Blade Squad frantically.

The floating cannons, constructed by the power of reason, almost covered the entire sky. Under the hail of bullets, the Valkyries were instantly defeated.

The Valkyries closest to Bai Mo were cut down by her, and their severed arms and blood splashed onto the land.

When you face your enemy with murderous intent, you risk being killed.

These Valkyries are nothing more than appetizers for Bai Mo. The only one who can pose a slight threat to her is Durandal.

"Wake up! Master of Frost (Refrigerator)!"

"Wake up! Defender of Glory!"

Just when Bai Mo was stunned, Durandal and Rita attacked one after another, and the battle between thunder and frost officially began.

As for the ability of the Black Abyss White Flower, Bai Mo was stronger than the Divine Key in the power of withering, so she naturally ignored it.

"Master of the Refrigerator? Defender of Glory? How amusing."

"Let me show you the true power of the Herrscher!"

The tip of the gun, shining with starlight, attacked, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. The blade, charged with thunder, collided with it. Sparks flew, and the death energy in the sky continued to dance, trying to erode Rita and the others in front of her.

Bai Mo, who had entered the state of the Herrscher of Death, kept swinging the Seven Thunders of Retribution in her hand. The power of creation healed her constantly, forming a sharp contrast with Durandal's release of her true name.

After a fierce battle, Bai Mo cut Durandal down with a knife, then flew into the sky and brought down a world-destroying thunder from above.

Boom!!

As the thunder fell, countless Valkyries fought hard to resist but lost consciousness under this terrifying blow. This was the result of Bai Mo’s control of the force.

At this time, the three members of the Snow Lotus Squad regained their consciousness and attacked Bai Mo while avoiding the thunder.

Several shells came at rapid speed. Bai Mo saw this and slashed with her knife without looking back. The power of thunder turned into a crescent moon arc, cutting through all the shells, followed by an explosion that stirred up smoke across the sky.

"Go to hell! Herrscher!"

Through the smoke, the fiery red long hair was particularly eye-catching. Amy was seen holding a knife and attacking Bai Mo at a speed beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Her voice trembled, and it was clear how much the girl hated Bai Mo at that moment. Bai Mo could only apologize a little afterward.

To be blunt, Ana was also to blame for this. Bai Mo thought so but showed no mercy. She immediately sidestepped to avoid Amy's furious attack, then grabbed Amy's wrist.

With a slight force, Bai Mo took the knife from her hand.

"What!"

Amy was shocked. The weapon slipping from her hand during the fight undoubtedly sentenced her to death.

Sure enough, a trace of red light flashed in the corner of Bai Mo's eyes at that moment, and the Power of Sentience came again. She once again affected the consciousness of everyone present, then handed out a knife and easily pierced Amy's body.

"Damn..."

"Amy!" ×2

For a moment, whether it was the Snow Lotus Squad, who was about to rush in, or Durandal and Rita, they all stopped, fearing Bai Mo would do something radical.

But in fact, Bai Mo's blade only penetrated three centimeters into her body. What everyone saw was simply the result of their consciousness being affected.

Of course, Amy actually felt the pain of being pierced.

"Ugh!"

Bright red blood dripped with the blade, and the intense pain made Amy scream for a while.

As though her life was slipping away, Amy felt her eyelids growing heavy, as if she would fall asleep the next second. But even so, she bit her tongue slightly, forced herself to stay alert, and stared at Bai Mo with resentful eyes, as if she wanted to imprint her face in her mind.

Bai Mo just wanted to say, "Why bother? I just want you to sleep!!!"

Ana misunderstood me!

Suppressing the urge to complain, Bai Mo pretended to be cold and said, "Oh, is that all? Human, I can't see any hope of progress in your knife."

"Wither away with all things!"

"You..."

Amy was about to speak, but the next second, the death energy in the sky consumed her. When the death energy dissipated, Amy's figure had disappeared.

In fact, this was a move used by Bai Mo. Do you think I killed her with death energy? No! The appearance of the death energy was just to cover up the gate of imaginary numbers!

Yes, Bai Mo used this method to successfully send Amy to Ana.

"Don't worry, human. It will be your turn next."

Without wasting time on unnecessary words, Bai Mo raised her knife again and rushed toward Durandal and Rita.

As for Pete and Jones, she used the power of wind to fling them away.

You can't be too obvious; you can only find the right time to strike, otherwise, it could arouse suspicion.

Without further delay, Bai Mo, Durandal, and Rita engaged in fierce combat.

The sky was full of sword lights, the so-called [Setsuna], where everything was destroyed with one blow.

Every time Bai Mo drew her sword, she left scars on the two of them. Of course, under the attacks of the two, Bai Mo was also slightly injured.

The cold sickle brushed past her cheek, and some of her white hair was sliced off. In return, Bai Mo stabbed out her longsword, and suddenly the sky filled with light. Thunder gathered on the blade, destroying the ice Rita had raised in defense until the longsword pierced her shoulder, then she pulled it out.

"Naughty children will be punished. After all, girls' hair is the most precious treasure!"

Then Bai Mo kicked out, and Rita quickly raised the sickle to block, but the immense force kicked her back. She barely stopped after flying more than ten meters.

"Rita!"

Durandal, who was fighting Bai Mo, exclaimed when she saw this. Worried, she thrust the tip of her gun harder.

"I'm fine, Lord Durandal."

The sickle stood beside her. After standing up and wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Rita covered her injured shoulder and spoke.

However, the brutal thunder was still raging on her left shoulder. After just a few seconds, Rita realized something was wrong.

Her entire left arm had temporarily gone numb.

----

Chapter 270: About Calling Parents

But this situation lasted only a short time. Rita quickly regained her composure, then picked up her sickle and rushed forward again.

The three resumed their battle.

The cold wind seemed to consume everything. The temperature on the battlefield dropped sharply, and several ice spikes formed in the air, quickly stabbing toward Bai Mo.

Durandal followed closely behind, raising the Black Abyss White Flower high in her mouth, chanting its true name.

"I am the black that devours everything, I am the white that breeds everything, born before the creation of the world, and existing after annihilation. Divine Key·Black Abyss White Flower, 1st power—Holy Spear Bloom!"

The sky was covered in dazzling light, as though all sins were dispelled. The Holy Spear gathered above Bai Mo’s head, like the final judgment for sinners, and ruthlessly descended with divine punishment.

Bai Mo did not panic upon seeing this; instead, she smiled.

This time, she was finally getting serious!

"[Setsuna] Raikiri!"

Combined with the [Setsuna] skill, the Seven Thunders of Retribution in Bai Mo's hand exploded with immense force. She raised her head to meet the Spear of Judgment, drawing her long sword from her waist and performing an Iai strike.

In an instant, the long sword was unsheathed. The violent thunder transformed into energy, slashing forward in an X-shaped arc. Immediately afterward, the blade was detonated by thunder, releasing several dimensional shockwaves that filled the entire space.

The collision between divine punishments resulted in thunder—the force capable of annihilating everything—preveiling. It sliced through the holy spear and ice spikes, reducing them to molecules before they vanished into the ether.

"It seems your attack was ineffective. What a pity," Bai Mo said, smiling with a hint of sarcasm.

As she spoke, still holding the Seven Thunders of Retribution, she slashed behind her. With a snap, the blade of Skadi, which represented frost, was cut off by the force.

"Not good!" Rita exclaimed in surprise. Her weapon was broken, and the backlash from the frost severely injured her. She had to distance herself from Bai Mo. However, a piercing cold spread from her palm to her limbs, and a layer of frost began to form on her skin.

If it weren’t for the protection of her Argent Knight, the backlash would have been far worse.

The cold air condensed in her sickle, quickly spreading and turning everything within a dozen meters around her into ice sculptures.

Bai Mo merely thought it was a gust of cold wind.

She reached out and patted the ice chips off her shoulder, continuing, "A sneak attack? Are all of you humans so unethical?"

Thinking she could sneak an attack? Little did they know, Rita's every move was already within Bai Mo's sight.

Bai Mo then found an opportunity and flashed in front of Jones. Before she could react, Bai Mo unleashed the death energy and "devoured" her.

She repeated the same with two more Valkyries rushing toward her.

This was real devouring—after all, Bai Mo couldn’t afford to leave any loopholes. Now, only one member of the Snow Lotus Squad remained in their rescue plan.

"Jones!!!"

"You damn Herrscher, if you have the guts, kill me too! Come on!" Pete shouted, blinded by rage. Without fear of death, he charged toward Bai Mo, determined to take a piece of her, even if it meant his own demise.

"Don’t worry, you’ll all stay here today."

A beautiful assist! Just charge ahead and deliver, right? Saved some time by faking death.

With that, a layer of death energy enveloped the blade of the Seven Thunders of Retribution. Bai Mo was about to strike, but was intercepted by a shot from Durandal, who rushed over.

Squeak!

As the two sides wrestled, sparks flew.

"It is indeed the power of the Herrscher of Death. You stole the [Gem of Serenity]!" Durandal said, her voice filled with anger upon seeing her former companion die under the power of withering.

A trace of Bubble World power burst forth from Durandal, directly knocking Bai Mo back.

At the same time, Rita and Pete, now with new weapons, rushed to Durandal's side.

"I am the black from the abyss, I am the white from the sky, born before the creation of the world, and existing after annihilation; I will give the fountain of life to the thirsty for free. Divine Key·Black Abyss White Flower, 0th Power—Holy Spear Centennial Orchid!"

Sensing Rita's unstable breath, Durandal immediately used the power of creation to heal her.

"Thank you, Lord Durandal."

"I'm glad you're okay, Rita."

Feeling her injuries gradually healing, Rita smiled bitterly. This was the first time she had been at such a disadvantage in battle and looked so embarrassed.

"What a coincidence, I don’t know who threw that thing into imaginary space. I couldn’t bear to see it, so I absorbed it."

Bai Mo joked while stabilizing herself in mid-air.

Honestly, Durandal's force was a bit too strong, making her hands numb.

After all, Durandal was someone whose strength could grow infinitely, far surpassing the strength Bai Mo encountered in Schicksal.

However, Bai Mo had her own confidence. She hadn’t yet used the power of [Finality] in battle.

"Why, if you from Schicksal want it, you should come beg me. Maybe I’ll give it back to you if I’m in a good mood."

Bai Mo looked indifferent.

"Are all of you Herrschers so arrogant?"

"That's because I have the qualifications. Of course, if you want to prove that I don’t, that’s fine."

"You haven’t fully unleashed the power of the Bubble World, have you? Why don’t you show it to me again? Or do you prefer to wait for reinforcements before fighting me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, calling for backup when you can't beat them? That's really shameless."

As she spoke, Bai Mo waved her hand dismissively.

"Heh, you only know how to talk. If you have the ability, go ahead and call them!"

What he hated most was Bai Mo's arrogant attitude. Furious, Pete immediately mocked her.

"..."

"..."

But as soon as Pete said this, Durandal and Rita fell into a brief silence.

Is there a possibility that if we call for backup, we still can’t beat her?

Pete noticed the unnatural expressions on their faces, and fell silent.

Bai Mo also looked at Pete as if she were a fool. But it wasn’t her fault. After all, messages were usually blocked when far away on Coral Island.

-----

Chapter 271: The Power of the Five-Cores Boy

As for calling the parents, although Bai Mo also wanted to explain the situation to them, it might be better to surprise them instead of just telling them outright.

What kind of expression would Otto have on his face? Bai Mo was eager to see it.

Especially after seeing the battleships gradually descending from the sky, Bai Mo's resolve grew even stronger.

Was it Fu Hua who was sent to reinforce Schicksal? Of course, in addition to Fu Hua, there were more than a hundred Valkyries.

Since the Flamechaser of [Viviscitude] had appeared, it wasn’t unreasonable for them to send two Flamechasers as well.

Actually, it’s nothing—just [Deliverance] and [Ouroboros].

A sunny and cheerful boy and a powerless scientific researcher—Schicksal won’t lose anything!

Fu Hua did not reveal her true identity when she came to support this time; instead, she wore the Shadow Knight Battlesuit. Bai Mo guessed it would be another tough battle.

Similarly, Durandal and Rita couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing Fu Hua.

With Fu Hua joining them, their fighting power had nearly improved qualitatively.

Thinking this, Durandal felt that victory in this battle was much closer.

"It seems the situation isn't ideal."

Looking at the desolate surroundings and the Valkyries who had lost their ability to fight, Fu Hua walked into the center of the group and spoke softly.

After all, everyone’s fatigue was evident.

With the blessing of Fenghuang Down, she could clearly detect everyone’s spirit.

At the same time, when she spotted Bai Mo, Fu Hua attempted to use Fenghuang Down to create an illusion for her, but each attempt failed.

Bai Mo’s power was almost the same as Fenghuang Down’s—no, it was even greater—which made Fu Hua take it seriously.

“The opponent is the Herrscher who caused a stir at headquarters before.”

“The powers of the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Reason, and the Herrscher of Death are all in her. In short, she’s very strong.”

Durandal summarized the situation in simple terms. Fu Hua nodded, understanding the situation.

As her words fell, golden starlight gathered around Durandal’s body, gradually forging a set of armor for her.

She had to take this seriously.

Replacing the Black Abyss White Flower, Durandal now held two light blue spears adorned with stars.

Gathering the power of the Bubble World, the Immortal Dea Anchora appeared before them.

The other three appeared to be inspired by Durandal's fighting spirit, all assuming battle stances. They would rush in the moment Bai Mo made a move.

“Not bad, not bad. Now it’s starting to feel like a real fight. The previous games were meaningless.”

"Also, let me introduce myself properly. I’m a cadre of the World Serpent, codenamed [Aslaug]. And yes, that’s also my real name, so don’t just call me Herrscher."

As if casually chatting, Bai Mo’s tone was relaxed, showing no signs of tension despite the impending fight.

This was the advantage of having so many trump cards. Whether it was one against three or one against four, Bai Mo had absolute confidence that she wouldn’t be defeated.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the Five-Cored Herrscher.

Now, she could also use this opportunity to test her own strength.

With a flourish, Bai Mo twirled her blade, her eyes glinting with the sharpness of a whetstone.

"You still have the time to introduce yourself? There’s no point in talking anymore. Let’s fight, Herrscher!"

The battle erupted instantly. With a “bang,” Durandal rushed toward Bai Mo with all her power.

Golden meteors streaked across the sky, attempting to dispel the darkness with their dazzling light.

“Inch Force. The Waning Moon!”

“Eternal Winter!”

The other three also unleashed their most powerful moves.

“Come on!”

Bai Mo’s eyes showed no fear as she faced the four rushing toward her; in fact, she looked more excited.

The Seven Thunders of Retribution was responding to her, trembling with excitement.

Following the winds’ guidance, emerald green wings grew behind her, and Bai Mo stood firm, ready to face the attacks of everyone with the power of thunder.

“【Setsuna】Cherry Blossom Curtain Call!”

At that moment, it was as if cherry blossoms were falling from the sky, and each petal held more danger than it appeared.

Swish!

A slash from her sword, followed by countless phantoms, filled the entire space. In an instant, all four of their attacks were blocked.

Then, a violent explosion occurred, fueled by the thunder.

As everyone was forced to defend, Bai Mo rushed forward, not giving them a moment’s respite.

...

The ensuing battle was far beyond what ordinary Valkyries could participate in.

Thunder destroyed everything, and hurricanes engulfed the area, resembling a massive natural disaster. Bai Mo didn’t hold back with any of her attacks.

Durandal called upon the power of the Bubble World to create a light blue shield around the three of them, but it was difficult to resist Bai Mo’s power. She could only turn defense into offense, looking for an opening.

“Spear!”

She leaped into the air and threw the spear in her hand, stars decorating it as it transformed into a shooting star.

Whoosh!

The sound of the spear cutting through the air was unmistakable!

Seeing this, Bai Mo activated the power of the air, shifting the spear aside, but it immediately corrected its course and flew back toward her.

Sensing the difficulty, Bai Mo saw her opportunity and used the sword skill [Setsuna] to slice the spear apart, then met Durandal's attack head-on.

Fu Hua and Rita exchanged glances and then attacked Bai Mo from different directions.

Cold frost summoned a knight to protect it, raising its sickle to deliver judgment, while the knight of moonlight unleashed Taixu Boxing—breaking the seas, splitting the skies, and summoning crescent moons.

Pate could only watch from the sidelines, unable to intervene at all.

What she didn’t realize was that Bai Mo had already set her sights on her.

But this time, instead of thunder, she unleashed a flame powerful enough to burn everything.

“An-Utu! Unsheath!”

In the face of absolute power, everything else became meaningless. Bai Mo raised the Cleaver of Shamash, the flaming sword radiating boundless power!

“Not good! Everyone, get out of the way!”

Though no one knew where Bai Mo had obtained the Judgment of Shamash, the familiar aura was unmistakable.

Knowing the power of the An-Utu once it was unsheathed, Durandal immediately warned the others.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly abandoned their attacks and scattered in all directions.

However, a few seconds later, when they had all reached a safe distance, the anticipated attack still hadn’t come.

With some confusion, the three of them looked back at Bai Mo.

----

Chapter 272: Mission Completed

Releasing the heavenly fire from its sheath?

That is naturally impossible! There is no deep hatred. It was just scaring them.

Anyway, after this fight, Bai Mo clearly understood her own strength. If she continued to fight, it would be a waste of time.

At worst, she could wait until the Coral Island Erupted next time. Maybe they could even spar with the Herrscher.

Now, let’s focus on the present and complete the rescue mission first!

Thinking silently, a specific plan began to emerge in Bai Mo’s mind.

Just at this time, everyone’s eyes swept over, but by then, Bai Mo had already put away the Judgment of Shamash. The earlier Honkai Impact riot was a move she had deliberately triggered. For a moment, everyone realized they had been fooled.

But even though she hadn’t unsheathed the Shamash, Bai Mo still made a lot of noise. Her suddenly withered power was fully activated, and death energy began to emerge around her, continuously gathering in the sky, even covering the sun's brilliance.

However, this came at a cost. The Honkai energy Bai Mo had consumed was immense.

Coupled with the previous battle, she was now a little tired.

We must take this opportunity to move Pate away, Bai Mo thought.

Then with a movement of her mind, she released all the death energy.

"Embrace death! It will bring you relief!"

Wooosh!

With the help of the wind, the death energy gradually spread outward, covering the sky and the sun, as though it were a devil devouring everything.

The previously frozen Honkai Beasts was the first to be devoured upon contact with the death energy, leaving not even a scrap behind.

The surrounding laboratories weren’t spared either, slowly being consumed bit by bit.

"Everyone, retreat back! Be careful not to be eroded by this thing!"

The Valkyries who came to support and the Immortal Blade Squad quickly issued a retreat order after seeing the power of the death energy, afraid of contamination.

They weren’t afraid of death, but they couldn’t afford to die in vain.

...........

"Stars! Gather here!"

"Inch Force. Waning Moon!"

"Wake up, Master of Frost!"

In mid-air, Durandal, Fu Hua, and Rita saw this and quickly raised their weapons to resist.

The corrosion intensity of the dead air was different from that released by the Black Abyss White Flower. They had to take it seriously; otherwise, they could get injured, and the consequences would be severe.

Considering the strength of the Valkyries on the ground, Durandal threw a star spear, which penetrated deep into the ground, eventually forming a barrier to protect the Valkyries.

Despite this, many of the Valkyries were still eroded by the death energy, and the intense pain forced them to cry out.

"Ah!"

"Damn it, help me cut off my arm!"

"But..."

"Stop it! Hurry!"

...........

The stronger ones could still ask for help from their Squadmates after being eroded by the death energy, while the weaker ones had to bear the pain and act on their own.

Although not many had to do this, there were seven or eight Valkyries who did.

"I am the black from the abyss, I am the white that descends from the sky, born before the creation of the world and existing after annihilation; I will give the spring of life to those who are thirsty to drink freely. Divine Key·Black Abyss White Flower, 0th rated power - the Welwitschia of the Holy Spear!"

Upon seeing this, Durandal also summoned the Black Abyss White Flower again and gave it her true name to treat them.

"Be careful and retreat to a safe area!"

Soon, the broken arms began to grow back quickly.

Each of the Valkyries looked at Durandal eagerly, thankful that they had escaped death.

Bai Mo had already anticipated that Durandal would do this, and she had no intention of stopping her.

Whoosh!

Then several more wind blades slashed through the air. What Bai Mo needed to do now was buy time to lock onto someone’s figure.

"I found you~"

A few seconds later, Bai Mo pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Pate’s figure not far away, sneaking over while the three of them weren’t paying attention.

"Inch Force! Thunderbolt!"

Turning her fist into a palm, the Taixuan energy surged in Fu Hua’s body as she controlled the Honkai energy, swinging forward and dispersing all the death energy around her.

Rita also activated the power of frost, condensing a large ice shield around herself.

The three of them were overwhelmed at the same time. They had to protect the Valkyries on the ground and themselves from erosion. This left them unable to focus on Bai Mo’s movements.

This was exactly the effect Bai Mo needed.

Moving freely in the death aura, she quickly approached Pate’s side while blocking the three’s view.

"I became a bad guy for no reason. Okay, go see your little Ana~"

While she wasn’t paying attention, Bai Mo muttered to herself. Then, she snapped her fingers, and an imaginary door appeared in front of Pate. Bai Mo kicked it open, attempting to push her through before she could react.

Seeing this, the surrounding Valkyries tried to stop them but were controlled by Bai Mo’s gaze. Their bodies ran uncontrollably in the opposite direction, and Bai Mo also cleared the memories of these Valkyries.

Bang!

Gently, Bai Mo’s foot touched Pate’s butt.

Let’s go! (So soft.)

"Law...uh...uh..."

Feeling the huge force coming from behind, Pate’s body leaned forward involuntarily and finally fell into the Imaginary Portal.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Pate snapped back to her senses. Her eyes widened in horror as she struggled, trying to make a sound, but the next second her mouth was covered. She was then fully submerged into the imaginary space, and there was no more movement.

On the other side of the Imaginary Number Gate, Ana and the others were already waiting for her. There was an aircraft arranged by Gray Serpent in advance.

Now, the rescue plan of the Snow Lotus Squad had been successfully completed.

Although the process was a bit bumpy and might leave a psychological shadow on the three of them, these were no longer things Bai Mo needed to consider.

"Little Ana, let’s see how I deal with you when I get back!"

Thinking of the way Mobius punished her two days ago, Bai Mo felt she might have learned the essence of it.

When she gets back, maybe the maid uniform in the closet will come in handy.

After all, I’ve contributed so much, so a small reward is not too much!!!

Looking back at the three people who were about to eliminate the death energy, Bai Mo, who didn’t want to continue to be entangled, directly entered the imaginary number space and slipped away without anyone noticing.

----

Chapter 273: After the War

The death aura that had covered the sky and the sun was finally dispelled.

However, in contrast, Durandal and the other two lost track of Bai Mo. After patrolling the battlefield, the three of them confirmed that Bai Mo had left.

According to the post-war statistics, a total of 67 Valkyries were injured, but they were later restored by the creative power of Heiyuan Baihua. The death toll was 3, and the Snow Lotus Squad was nearly wiped out.

If the battlefield for this encounter hadn’t been in the air, the casualties would likely have been even higher. After all, had the Valkyries failed to kill Bai Mo, they would have naturally been the target.

"The bodies of the three were entirely consumed by the death aura, and no items were left behind at the scene."

Rita said in a deep voice after reading the report.

"I will report this to the bishop later. Please send a certificate for the deceased to the headquarters first."

Durandal spoke weakly, Dea Anchora dissolving into starlight. She withdrew the power of the Bubble World, turned, and walked away.

Rita nodded and moved on to deal with the follow-up matters.

Fu Hua followed but said nothing, merely patting Durandal on the shoulder.

The entire Squad had been wiped out. This battle was undeniably a failure for them, especially Ana, the captain, who had been captured alive by the enemy.

Durandal couldn’t swallow this defeat. Though fighting meant sacrifice, she still could not accept this outcome.

In silence, she returned to her room and dialed Otto's communication.

Squeak... squeak... squeak.

The signal on Coral Island was affected by the Honkai energy, causing it to be unstable. After more than ten seconds, the communication connected.

"Oh, my dear Bianka, from the looks of it, the situation on Coral Island isn’t going well, is it?"

A projection of a man appeared in front of Durandal. His tone was as frivolous as ever, as if he didn’t care what would happen to Coral Island.

But upon seeing Durandal's distressed expression, the man couldn't help but show a hint of concern.

"Three members of the Snow Lotus Squad are confirmed dead, and Captain Ana was taken by the Herrscher."

"The enemy claims to be a cadre of the World Serpent, Aslaug, the one who caused the disturbance at headquarters last time."

Durandal lowered her head, choosing only to report the key details. As for the information Bai Mo had given her, she would present it to Otto in a formal report later, so she didn't elaborate further.

"......"

On the other end of the communication, Otto fell into a brief silence after hearing Durandal’s report, as well as Rita’s.

No one knew what he was thinking. But it was clear that his usual carefree demeanor had disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

After the World Serpent had previously invaded the Schicksal headquarters, Otto had requested a large amount of information from Void Archives about the Thirteen Flamechasers of the previous civilization.

After reading the materials, Otto became more and more intrigued. Clearly, the Flamechasers and the Herrscher were regarded as mortal enemies. But why was the World Serpent willing to tolerate the Herrscher’s presence within its organization? And they were not just any members, but cadres. This was highly intriguing.

In Otto's mind, the world resembled a vast web with two spiders. These spiders were desperately weaving their own territories to protect against the arrival of natural disasters and the destruction of everything they had. The webs they spun were strong enough to withstand the disaster, and both spiders continued to spin their silk, creating a channel of hope to eventually reach the side they desired. Along the way, they fought each other, but the spider called Schicksal was powerful enough to not fear the other's interference.

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion until one day, the balance was shattered when a third spider appeared. After a long dormancy, it reemerged with overwhelming power. Every step it took caused the web to tremble. No one knew its intentions. The other two spiders hesitated to act, preferring to observe in silence, hoping not to disturb each other.

However, things are unpredictable. One day, a spider named World Serpent entered Schicksal’s territory, engaging in a friendly exchange. Its strength forced Schicksal to retreat and allow the World Serpent to plunder within its domain. Fortunately, the damage was minimal, and the World Serpent withdrew and went dormant again.

The great web returned to calm. While Schicksal did not pursue matters on the surface, the strength of the World Serpent had caused a ripple within its core. Otto, or rather Schicksal, was a selfish figure without grand ideals. For 500 years, his sole goal had been to resurrect someone. To achieve this, he had used Schicksal to weave a net that could cover the world and control others' fates.

The appearance of the World Serpent, however, was an unwelcome variable. Otto feared that this variable might disrupt his plans, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

Afterward, he began gathering all available information about the World Serpent and trying to discern its intentions.

Fortunately, after learning about the series of Projects called Stigma, Ember, the Ark, and so on, he realized that these objectives did not conflict with his own. This gradually reassured him.

Everything seemed to return to normal, until today, when the World Serpent reappeared in his territory, forcing Otto to refocus and reconsider its motives.

Friendly communication was necessary—violence was not desirable. As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only the truth called interests.

To be honest, the incident on Coral Island did not concern Otto much. As long as it didn’t touch his bottom line, everything could be negotiated.

But as a leader, he had to make a statement. After considering the matter, he realized he could only compromise and save face.

"Prepare to issue a wanted notice for this woman, Aslaug, and have Valkyries everywhere be on the lookout. Report any news about her immediately, but remember, do not send anyone to contact her."

"After all, she is a Herrscher. I believe you understand, Bianka."

After a long pause, the man finally spoke.

"I understand, Bishop. As for the Snow Lotus Squad..."

"Holding a memorial service in three days and issuing the wanted notice then is appropriate."

"Also, do not worry about the World Serpent. I will take care of everything."

The Fifth Eruption that was about to erupt might offer an opportunity for him to communicate with the World Serpent.

-----

Chapter 274: Ana: I'm Sorry, Senior.

If possible, Otto would rather not become an enemy of the World Serpent. In his original plan, the Second Divine Key, the Cosmic Juggernaut he needed were all in the hands of the World Serpent.

At this point, however, he must find a way to obtain them.

After all, it was mentioned in the report just now that the [Gem of Serenity] had already been absorbed by a girl named Aslaug, making it very difficult for him to retrieve it.

The plan to use the [Gem of Serenity] to resurrect Kallen is no longer feasible, unless he waits for the Herrscher of Death to descend again in this world. However, the problem is that the Herrscher chosen by Honkai is uncontrollable. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have had to put so much effort into cultivating Kiana, also known as K423.

"Let's leave it at that for now, Bianka. Let Rita take care of Coral Island. If you're not in a good mood, you can always go back to the headquarters to rest."

"No need, Bishop. The Fifth Eruption is about to break out. It's safer for me to stay here."

Durandal shook her head firmly at Otto's concern. She had a feeling that when the Fifth Eruption occurs, the Herrscher who calls herself Aslaug would return here, so she needed to be prepared for battle.

This time, she couldn't afford to lose so badly. She had to make the other party pay the price, Durandal silently thought to herself.

"I respect your decision. In that case, Bianka, you should get some rest."

After saying that, Otto unilaterally ended the communication. At the same time, he began selecting a suitable soul-steel body for the Fifth Eruption.

-----

Half an hour ago, outside Coral Island, about a thousand meters away.

On an aircraft rendered optically invisible by Bai Mo using the power of wind.

A Imaginary Portal suddenly appeared inside the aircraft.

Bang!

An object fell freely and hit the floor with a heavy thud.

"Hiss... that hurt."

Rubbing her sore buttocks, Ana stood up with a grin.

Looking around at the unfamiliar environment, she hadn't expected to leave Coral Island in this way.

Are the powers of the Herrscher really this magical?

Hehe, it seems the senior is surprisingly reliable!

In that case, I don't have to worry about Amy and the others! After all, the senior's strength is impressive!

Unable to contain the joy in her heart, Ana looked left and right, beginning to examine the interior of the aircraft.

"There are even kitchens and bedrooms! This can't be an air RV!!!"

She looked at the obvious signs of someone living here, and her eyes flashed with envy.

There was also a hot sandwich on the table. Ana glanced at it but wasn't interested in eating it. She turned around and opened the door to the only bedroom, planning to... ahem, visit. Yes, just visit.

"Senior, I'm coming in!"

What greeted her was a big bed, a bedside table, and a wardrobe—that was all.

The bedroom was very simple, with a faint scent of jasmine in the air.

"It's the smell of the senior!"

Just smelling it, Ana became captivated. She glanced at the big bed next to her and lay down on it.

Thinking that this was her bed, Ana kicked off her shoes habitually and rolled back and forth on the bed for a few moments, inhaling the fresh air.

The sheets wrapped around her like a caterpillar.

But soon, after realizing this wasn't her room, Ana's face turned bright red.

However, her body remained quite honest. She didn’t get up immediately but slowly closed her eyes.

It should be okay to lie down for a while! The senior surely isn't that stingy!

After convincing herself, Ana decided to follow her heart.

The soft touch of the sheets and the faint fragrance constantly invaded her senses, causing her to relax and even want to sleep like this.

But just as she was about to drift off to sleep, Ana snapped back to her senses, then reached up to pat her red face.

No, no! Ana, you can't go on like this! You must stay calm!

This is the senior's room! You must be reserved!

Shaking her little head, Ana looked incredibly cute at that moment.

Caught between her consciousness and her body, Ana kept struggling, rolling around on the bed.

But what is this strange feeling?!

It's going to break...

After tossing for a while, Ana gradually stopped. But because she had rolled around a little too much, the bed was now a mess.

"Hmm? Is it dark?"

Suddenly, Ana noticed that she couldn’t see anything, as if something was covering her eyes.

Hmm... it smells so nice.

Ana sniffed subconsciously, her nose twitching slightly, then reached up to remove it.

But just as her hand touched the mysterious object, Ana froze.

"Hiss... this is it!"

This!!!

With that texture! A triangle! There’s absolutely no mistake!

With her years of experience as a woman, Ana finally confirmed that the mysterious little cloth covering her eyes was... it!!!

Warning! Warning! Host brain overload detected! It is recommended to calm down in time!

If Ana had a system, she would definitely hear that warning right now.

Ahhhhhh! Senior, I'm sorry! I definitely didn’t mean to!

She thought silently, sitting up straight in an instant.

She actually smelled it! Smelled it!

If she doesn't wash her face... it’s not... ahhhh!

At that moment, she felt like crying but had no tears.

The scene from just now replayed in her mind, and it was obvious that Ana’s whole body was heating up rapidly, with sSquad rising from her head.

What a sin!

With her hands folded together, Ana looked like a devout believer, constantly counting her sins.

But she just discovered it by accident, and the senior shouldn't kill her...

Panicking a little, Ana quickly got up and arranged the sheets and bedding back to their original state.

But... she was troubled about how to deal with that certain piece of cloth.

Should she just place it back where it was and hide it under the pillow?

No, no! How could such underwear be left around like this? It would be terrible if Amy and the others came in and saw it!

Well! As a reliable junior, I must share the senior’s burdens, and I definitely don’t have any other thoughts!

With this resolution, Ana reluctantly reached out to grab the small black piece of cloth.

----

Chapter 275: Snow Lotus Assemble!

With two fingers, Ana carefully picked up the black cloth. Although she blushed, it was clear she was quite excited.

Taking a step, Ana slowly walked toward the closet in Bai Mo's room.

Ah! The sacred door! What kind of secrets could be hidden inside?

Some daring clothes? Pajamas? Or uniforms, perhaps...?

Subconsciously, she imagined Bai Mo in various outfits. Excitedly, Ana reached for the closet door.

But just as she was about to open it, an imaginary door suddenly appeared to her left, interrupting her movements.

She was startled, and fearing that Bai Mo had returned with Amy and the others, Ana panicked and stuffed the black cloth into her shirt pocket.

Bang!

The next second, a figure she was no longer familiar with—Amy—fell out of the imaginary door.

"Amy!" Ana exclaimed with joy. Unfortunately, if she had been just a few minutes slower, she might have found out what had been going on. She sighed silently but was still very happy that Amy had left Coral Island so quickly.

As expected, the senior is reliable!

"Little Ana? Is this... is this heaven?" Amy, still trying to understand the situation, was stunned as she looked around at the unfamiliar scene. It seemed she had realized something, and her eyes became moist. A tear flowed down her cheek, and she collapsed into Ana's arms uncontrollably.

"Be careful!" A huge force pushed Ana back, causing her to fall onto the bed while still holding Amy. Ana quickly helped her sit up and gently touched her head. It seemed that Bai Mo’s actions had been so realistic that they scared Amy. Knowing this was partly her fault, Ana quickly tried to comfort her.

"Wow! How come you, little Ana, are dead too?" Amy sobbed, feeling guilty that she hadn't been able to protect Ana, leading to this situation.

"Okay, Amy, listen carefully. We're not dead yet."

"Not dead yet?"

At this, Amy stopped sobbing and looked up at Ana in confusion.

"That's right. But it's my fault for not telling you earlier... actually..." Ana wiped away Amy's tears with her sleeve and explained the situation, feeling a little guilty.

"So, the Herrscher who appeared on Coral Island earlier is the senior you mentioned, little Ana?"

"That's right, Amy. You can call her Aslaug. The senior is really nice!"

Ana winked playfully, looking like a true fangirl.

"Okay... okay."

After about two or three minutes, Amy finally understood.

However, everything Bai Mo had done to her earlier—though it was just acting—still left her with many lingering fears. It would take her several days to recover.

More importantly, Amy was very curious as to how Ana could be in contact with a Herrscher as a senior.

Hiss... this was impossible, no matter how you thought about it.

As a Valkyrie, her understanding of the Herrscher was that they were unforgivable evil—mortal enemies who destroyed human civilization. So, she still couldn't fully believe Ana's words.

But the facts were right in front of her: neither she nor Ana were dead, and they had been saved.

For a moment, Amy felt like her entire worldview needed to be reshaped. After all, this was all too crazy.

Ana noticed Amy's internal conflict and kept reassuring her.

After a long while, the two of them managed to break out of the awkward atmosphere.

"So... what did you just use to wipe my tears, little Ana?"

This black cloth looks like panties, no matter how you look at it... And it even has a fresh fragrance when you wiped my tears. But why did Ana pull it out of her pocket?

No way... Little Ana collects these?

With a bewildered look, Amy pointed at the cloth in Ana's hand.

They had known each other for three years, and this was the first time Amy had seen this.

"Ah! No... no! This belongs to the senior... no, Amy, listen to my explanation! I was just cleaning the senior's room, and after accidentally seeing it, I wanted to put it away for her. But then you came, Amy, and I was afraid you'd misunderstand..."

Oh no! I accidentally took the wrong handkerchief!

Seeing Amy's confused expression, Ana almost started crying, trying to explain in a panic.

However, she only made the situation worse, and Amy gave her a surprised look.

Ah, right, right.

Go ahead, if I believe you today, I’ll take your last name.

Amy nodded, but inside, she was still silently complaining.

"Young lady, little Ana, I understand you. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."

Patting Ana’s shoulder, Amy gave her a reassuring "you have to stay strong" smile.

"Ahhh! I ignore you! I told you it's not like that!"

"Hahaha, who makes you so funny, little Ana."

Knowing her friend's tendency for gossip, Ana just gave up, throwing herself on the bed without moving.

She had no motivation to go on. Let this world be destroyed!

(Ana: I want to go back to Coral Island!)

(Bai Mo: What are you doing?)

In the following time, Jones and Pete were teleported here one after another by the Imaginary Portal. At first, they were both in shock, but after Ana's explanation, they calmed down.

However, like Amy, both were still traumatized by Bai Mo's actions...

By now, all members of the Snow Lotus Squad had successfully reunited. The four of them sat on the sofa in the living room, sharing what had just happened to them.

"Hi, did you miss me♪"

Suddenly, a playful voice came from behind them, and Bai Mo walked out of theImaginary Portal slowly.

Seeing that the four of them were talking and laughing, she relaxed a little.

It seems that Ana did a good job!

"Senior, you're back!"

Unlike Ana’s excitement, Amy and the others still looked frightened upon seeing Bai Mo, and their eyes subconsciously avoided hers.

"You’re back. What’s wrong? Did you miss me~♪"

Bai Mo blinked, and after responding to Ana, she looked at Amy and the others with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"I’m sorry! In order to bring you back from Coral Island without causing Schicksal’s suspicion, I had to resort to this last option. As compensation, how about I treat everyone to a big dinner tonight~♪"
