WHAFI 301-325

301: Bai Mo; Get Ready to Have Fun

Dong-dong-dong!

Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Okay, I'll go open the door first." Bai Mo broke free from Raven's embrace and stepped onto the carpet barefoot. "I'm coming!"

Could it be that Rin came to play with Griseo?

With such doubts, Bai Mo put her hand on the door handle and turned it gently.

"Pardo!"

"Lau!"

After opening the door and seeing the familiar figures, the two shouted each other's names almost in unison. The former might still be a little confused, but the latter was purely excited.

Even Pardo was hanging on Bai Mo's body. If you didn't know better, you might think it had been a long time since they last saw each other.

A pair of plump and tight thighs were only wrapped in a pair of hot pants, and the remaining exposed parts were a divine gift!

A T-shirt fit perfectly on her upper body, accentuating her plump and round breasts. The T-shirt was slightly lifted, creating a short vacuum beneath.

It was a height some could never reach!

In such a situation, being held by Pardo, with her legs wrapped around Bai Mo’s waist, Bai Mo could only describe it as "super awesome!"

Of course, after enjoying the moment, she didn’t forget to address the main issue.

"Okay, okay, what's wrong? Were you bullied outside?"

Seeing this, Bai Mo comforted Pardo while rubbing her head.

By the way, taking advantage of the situation to satisfy her hand addiction—so cool!

"How could we be bullied outside? It’s obviously Lau who’s being bullied, okay!"

Getting down from Bai Mo's body, Pardo put down the lunch in her hand and spoke with a worried tone.

"I was bullied?"

Hearing this, Bai Mo was still a little confused.

After all, she hadn’t thought about the wanted order at all. As a Herrscher of Finality, how could she worry about a wanted order? That was nonsense.

But despite this, Bai Mo didn’t rush to ask what had happened. Instead, she led Pardo to the living room and poured her a glass of juice.

"Good afternoon, little Griseo! And... Raven, good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon, Sister Pardo."

"Good afternoon."

Pardo was not polite. After greeting everyone in the living room, she sat cross-legged on the sofa with ease and then spoke softly, "By the way, Lau, did you know that you’re wanted by Schicksal?"

"Pfft, okay, it turns out to be this matter."

When Bai Mo heard that it was a wanted order, she immediately burst out laughing. After all, it wasn’t a big deal at all!

Then, as soon as she finished laughing, she received a white-eye from Raven and a puzzled look from Pardo.

"Hey! So you knew about this, Lau?!"

"Yes, Boom Crow told me about it as soon as he came here today. Anyway, it’s not a big deal. After all, I changed my identity—who would know it’s me?"

Bai Mo closed her eyes and spread her hands, wearing an indifferent expression.

"No, Lau! You don’t know that Sister Snake and Brother Kalpas had a quarrel in the group chat about this!"

"What the hell? A quarrel?! No... no, how did they know about this?"

Damn, how could this happen?

What is a master of instant face-changing? Bai Mo can perform this national treasure of a skill with just one sentence.

"Don’t look at me, I haven’t told anyone else. It’s probably Gray Serpent who investigated it. After all, Otto made a big scene."

Looking at Bai Mo’s puzzled expression, Raven shook her head and said helplessly. But honestly, she was still very happy. After all, there were still so many people who cared about this white rabbit when she was in trouble. Well, it was quite comforting.

"Sure enough, Otto was the most handsome when he was dead!!!"

After listening to Pardo’s description, Bai Mo suddenly felt something was off. Now she regretted not checking her phone when she got up. No, she regretted playing with Elysia so late last night!!!

This bad woman is still sleeping, and now I’m facing the abyss.

She can't casually mess with Schicksal! What if Otto gets anxious?!

Although the entire Schicksal is just a pawn of Otto, it’s also one of his springboards to revive Kallen. Unless his plan reaches the final stage, Schicksal is still very important to him.

But apart from these factors, it feels great to have someone backing you up!

"Well... well, I’ll go check the group chat for updates first. You guys play."

The incident started because of me, so I must shoulder this responsibility.

At this point, we can only stabilize the situation first.

"Lau..."

Looking at Bai Mo’s back as she ran away, Pardo actually wanted to say, "The battlefield is no longer hot."

On the other side, Bai Mo had already returned to the bedroom.

She went to bed, picked up the phone, opened the screen, entered the group chat... and then remained silent...

Okay, wait for death, there’s no hope. This news has been around for years; it’s half cold now!

But despite this, Bai Mo still wanted to struggle a little and see if things would turn around.

[I have the ambition of a prime minister]: "@All members, I'm sorry to cause trouble to everyone! Don’t be impulsive!"

[A singer]: "Wake up, don’t worry, Lau, everyone knows it in their hearts, and they won’t mess around."

After a while, Eden’s message was the first to reply.

This calm tone made Bai Mo relax a little.

[I have the ambition of a prime minister]: "Then Brother Kalpas..." Bai Mo asked tentatively.

[I hate pink the most]: "Him? I asked Gray Serpent to give him a position of a Schicksal branch, which seems to be Oceania."

Oh, the Oceania branch. It should undergo a second reconstruction after this time...

It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not St. Freya Academy. (Bai Mo: Just double standards~ Just for fun~)

Just when Bai Mo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the next sentence from Mobius directly made her blood pressure rise.

[I hate pink the most]: "By the way, there’s also Sakura. She’s on her way to Schicksal headquarters now."

Then Sakura also explained immediately.

[Sakura]: "Don’t worry, Lau, I’m only going there to sharpen my sword. I won’t do anything rash, and with my strength, those Valkyries at Schicksal Headquarters won’t pose much of a threat to me."

[Sakura]: "Rin also knows about this, and I’ll ask Lau to take care of Rin for the time being. I’ll probably be back in two days."

[I have the ambition of a prime minister]: "..."

Sister, let’s just say, is it normal for you to sharpen your sword far away?

But since Sakura said so, Bai Mo couldn’t refute anything.

First of all, this is Sakura’s decision, and secondly, she understands Sakura’s character—she really can’t do anything out of the ordinary. At most, it will leave a psychological shadow on Otto.

Well, anyway, those who understand this can only say yes.

-----

302: Thank You for the Rockets Sent by the Overseer! Thank You

"How about it, white rabbit?"

Seeing Bai Mo walking out of the bedroom, Raven hurried forward and asked.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem. At most, Otto will have to pay a small price. It can be regarded as a warning to him." Bai Mo showed a gloating smile.

After all, it was fun to watch Otto struggle. Why not?

"That Otto deserves it. If we get a chance, we must go to that Schicksal headquarters and buy a lot of goods!"

At this time, Pardo raised her hand and spoke loudly, with a piece of fried fish in her mouth, her cheeks bulging and looking very cute.

Little Griseo was also infected by this emotion, and hurriedly repeated it in the tone of Pardo.

The scene was very warm for a moment—after all, this was home!

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. And if I remember correctly... these things you brought, Pardo, should be made by [Cook], right?"

Changing the subject, Bai Mo suddenly spoke while looking at the food on the table.

The color and aroma clearly indicated the work of a chef. In the entire Golden Courtyard, the only ones who could make such dishes were herself and Vill-V [The Cook], so it wasn’t hard to guess.

"Yes! These are indeed what Sister Vill-V asked us to bring here."

Hearing this, Pardo nodded, and the tail behind her swayed.

"Okay, in that case, you guys can eat first. I have to go to Sister Sakura's house to pick up Rin. rin will stay at our house for the next few days." After walking to the entrance and changing her shoes,

Bai Mo suddenly turned around and smiled. "By the way, there's also Island Exploding Crow. You can stay with us too!"

Hmm! As long as Raven stays here, Ellie shouldn’t dare to mess with her at night!

Hey-hey! My intelligence and talent are second to none!

When I go to bed at night, I’ll have an Exploding Crow in my left hand, Little Griseo in my right, and a bell in the middle.

This will be the peak of my life!

What? You say the bed isn’t big enough? I’m sorry, but the Power of Reason is meant to be used in places like this!!

"Hmm? I feel like you are thinking about something weird."

Raven looked at Bai Mo suspiciously, always feeling that this white rabbit was up to no good, but she had no evidence to point it out directly.

However, as for the matter of staying, she had originally planned to do so, so she simply agreed.

"How is that possible? Anyway, it's settled! Don’t regret it!"

Hearing this, Bai Mo gave a wicked smile and didn’t give Raven any chance to speak. She turned around, put on her coat, and went out.

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

About half an hour later, Bai Mo successfully brought Rin back. The little one was very obedient.

The group quickly finished lunch in the living room. Not to mention, [The Cook] is really good at cooking!

In the afternoon, Pardo went home after playing with Rin and Griseo for a while. Of course, before leaving, Bai Mo made a special dinner for her so that at least she wouldn’t have to go hungry.

Not long after Pardo left, Elysia, who had slept all day, just woke up.

Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared in the house, she came out to greet them happily and was full of energy.

In the evening, the bored group followed Raven’s advice and went out shopping.

You don’t need to drive to go out, just an imaginary portal will do. Including Elysia, there were five of them, and we had a great time.

Basically, they bought whatever they liked. To be honest, Bai Mo hadn’t experienced this kind of life for a long time. After the fun was over, everyone returned home with a lot of stuff. After taking a shower together, we all went to bed.

This night was surprisingly quiet. Just as Bai Mo expected, Elysia had indeed become a lot more obedient. After all, she shouldn’t lead a child astray.

The plan worked!

Bai Mo once again admired her own intelligence.

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

When Bai Mo opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.

The sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing, and there was a special fragrance in the air.

Everyone got up from the bed.

A pleasant and beautiful day had begun!

Of course, this was the case in the Golden Courtyard, but it was hard to say for a certain branch of Schicksal...

Oceania Branch

This place had always been considered very important among the many branches of Schicksal. It had survived the Fourth Eruption and was recently rebuilt. The people there were still immersed in the joy of the newly rebuilt place.

But this joy didn’t last long because at five o’clock in the morning today, the bad news suddenly came!

The alarm, which almost resounded throughout the entire branch, woke everyone up, and the flames in the sky were about to devour and drown everything.

The Oceania branch, which they had rebuilt with great difficulty, was blown up again!

Everyone realized this.

Yes, that’s right. It exploded in the physical sense.

According to eyewitnesses, when they were patrolling at five in the morning, someone suddenly saw a demon with flames all over his body falling from the sky, accompanied by his formation. With a burst of wild laughter, the demon smashed the branch’s defense system to pieces almost effortlessly, and then without saying a word, destroyed the surrounding buildings.

Everywhere you looked, there were ruins.

That’s right, the person called a devil by the Oceania branch was Kalpas.

However, many people thought they were attacked by the Herrscher, and immediately reported the situation to the headquarters, sending out all the Valkyries to fight and trying to delay time, waiting for rescue.

What Oceania was experiencing today had actually been caused by their beloved Archbishop…

Afterward, in the face of absolute strength, those Valkyries who were invincible on the battlefield couldn’t even last one round in Kalpas’s hands and lost their combat capability instantly.

Of course, Kalpas didn’t choose to kill them but just scared them a little to let them experience what real Power was.

After all, they had to face Kalpas rather than the frail Herrscher!

"Heh… Go back and tell that Overseer of yours that if he is dissatisfied, he can come to World Serpent to find me."

Looking at the Oceania branch which had been burned down by two-thirds, Kalpas nodded with satisfaction.

After saying this to the Valkyries around him, he turned and left.

---------

303: Otto's Troubles

The Oceania branch was destroyed by strong winds, rebuilt, and then burned down in flames again.

The fate has been extremely tortuous and bumpy.

Looking at the desolate surroundings, the general manager of the Oceania branch was bleeding inside.

Funds! These were the funds we had applied for from the headquarters with great difficulty! They evaporated overnight!

The man collapsed onto the ground, his face filled with grief.

I rebuilt a branch by myself, who did I offend? Is this how it works? Who offended that devil-like person? Stand up!

The man wanted to shout out what was on his mind, but he knew it was just impotent rage.

"Hu..."

After a long time, the man adjusted his mindset and slowly stood up from the burning ground. He turned his back on the ruins, clenched his fists, and said with a determined look, "No matter what the cost, the Oceania branch will eventually be reborn!"

"Come on, Mr. Leader, I believe in you."

At that moment, a young man in a windbreaker approached, patted the man on the shoulder, and spoke with empathy.

After all, he had only been transferred from the headquarters for less than two days, and in the blink of an eye, his new home was gone.

How to put it... it felt like a dream, like the whole world was against him.

"Thank you, Mr. Orphis."

The two men lit a cigarette with the flames that hadn’t yet died down around them, standing shoulder to shoulder, looking at their distant ideals.

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

Soon, the Valkyries sent by the headquarters began arriving at the scene, including the mythical Rita.

The only regret was that Brother Jie had already left, otherwise, they could have enjoyed another big show!

"This destructive Power, and those familiar flames? Could it be the masked man who attacked the headquarters last time?"

Recalling the feeling of helplessness when she fought him, Rita also felt afraid.

As the Overseer had said, each of the MANTIS of the previous era could kill a Herrscher alone. Rita had seen it when she was in the sky—the entire Oceania branch seemed to have been forcibly wiped off the map, leaving only a third. However, the remaining third consisted mainly of residential areas.

So, from the current situation, no one had died in the Oceania branch, but injuries were inevitable.

The smell of something burning lingered in the air, and Rita hurriedly opened the video for Otto after landing.

"Overseer."

Rita bowed slightly and spoke in a respectful tone.

The Overseer nodded without saying anything, simply surveying the surroundings. Otto's face gradually became solemn.

The revenge of the World Serpent was naturally expected, but what Otto didn’t anticipate was that their retaliation would come so quickly and so violently, resulting in the complete destruction of a branch.

If Anti-Entropy knew about this, they would definitely laugh themselves silly. Thinking of this, Otto smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Schicksal family is large and Powerful, so it’s not as if losing a branch would completely cripple them. Moreover, the destruction of the Oceania branch helped Otto understand the World Serpent's attitude and bottom line.

"It seems our Miss [Aslaug] is really special to the World Serpent."

From Void Archives, Otto had learned that this hero named Kalpas had always had a bad temper.

No one could force him to do something he didn’t like, and he also had a bitter resentment toward the Herrscher.

But now, this person was willing to stand up for a Herrscher, which in itself was enough to show how important the person named [Aslaug] was. If Otto didn’t respond to this now, he would really be a fool.

"Go and inform other branches. If you see this hero, evacuate temporarily to ensure your safety."

After a long pause, Otto spoke helplessly.

After all, in certain matters related to the wanted order, Schicksal is definitely not the right party.

So, if only one or two branches can settle this matter, he wouldn't care.

Besides, it was impossible for the people in the branch to stop Kalpas. So, instead of increasing casualties in vain, it was better to open the city gates from the start.

Appropriate concessions—at least until there’s direct contact with the World Serpent—were necessary.

"Yes, Overseer."

Rita nodded, though her expression became strange.

After all, this was the first time she’d seen the usually confident Otto show a helpless expression.

And all of this was caused by the appearance of these former era warriors...

"Although these warriors are so strong, they still haven't defeated the last Herrscher..."

"Forget it... What's the point of thinking so far ahead? Let's finish up here as quickly as possible and head back."

Shaking her head, Rita realized her thoughts were drifting and quickly snapped back to the present.

After all, there’s still a fool at home who only knows how to train. As a qualified maid, she must return as soon as possible.

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

Meanwhile, at Schicksal headquarters.

"The application for funds to rebuild the Oceania branch was approved by Amber, but... never mind, I’m sure you understand."

A ray of sunlight shone into the room as Otto stood in front of the French window, giving instructions to Amber.

The man's face showed traces of worry. What he needed most right now was relaxation. Perhaps a walk would be a good choice.

"I understand, Overseer."

After watching Otto leave, Amber turned around and returned to her office.

As for what Otto meant when he said "I’m sure you understand," it was nothing more than not touching the production funds of Kallen Fantasy.

Yes, that's right. Compared to the game Kallen Fantasy, the Oceania branch was nothing in Otto’s eyes.

On the other side, Otto had already arrived at the outer airport, intending to take a walk.

There were many shops here, most of which were specially opened for Valkyrie service. Many people were shopping around. After seeing Otto, they all greeted him respectfully.

-------

304: The Guest of Schicksal

Perhaps it was due to the tacit understanding between comrades, but not long after Kalpas left the Oceania branch, the Schicksal headquarters far above the Mediterranean welcomed a new "guest" this morning.

Vill-V's aircraft has a built-in stealth effect, which includes interference with Schicksal's radar searches, allowing Sakura to enter without detection.

And Sakura had also brought a very useful helper with her to the Schicksal headquarters this time: Jizo Mitama.

Because as long as there is the Power of Corruption, most of Schicksal's technological instruments lose their effect on her. Even Sakura used the Power of Corruption to forge an identity for herself in Schicksal's information system, granting her high-level authority.

Of course, she was very safe at this point and did not arouse any suspicion. After all, if she wanted to get close to Otto, there were certain places she had to go.

Although Sakura is a top killer and has experience in hiding her identity, to be truly safe, she had no choice but to take these precautions.

At an airport beneath the headquarters, Sakura wore light-colored sportswear, with the fox ears on her head covered by a hat, walking naturally along the street.

After all, this wasn’t a night assassination requiring secrecy. It was better to be natural in broad daylight, as it would not easily arouse suspicion.

The general layout of this airport was very similar to certain places in Kolosten, combining residential and commercial areas. Along the way, Sakura noticed many entertainment venues, including game halls and milk tea shops.

In this regard, Schicksal was far better than the Fire Moth.

At least these Valkyries could still smile from the bottom of their hearts, which was different from the depressing atmosphere of the Fire Moth. Sakura had to commend Schicksal for this.

It was indeed very humane.

Perhaps environmental factors played a role as well. After all, compared to the previous era, the people of the current one live far too easily.

While observing the surrounding terrain, Sakura analyzed her surroundings. She had a map of the airport's layout of the Schicksal headquarters in her hand, given to her by Gray Serpent before setting out. This would help her plan a route to ensure she could evacuate quickly after completing her mission.

This was why she didn’t rush to find Otto right away. Sakura felt something might happen at the airport in this subdistrict today.

Could it be the killer's sixth sense? In any case, it was rather mysterious.

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

While passing a street with notably more traffic, Sakura suddenly sensed many eyes around her, a feeling that came from her killer’s intuition.

“Did I get discovered?”

Sakura was puzzled. After all, the Power of Corruption was still quite reliable. At least within three hours, with the technological level of Schicksal, it would be impossible to detect any problems unless they searched thoroughly. Moreover, she had been buying and eating as she walked, appearing to blend completely into the environment.

It seemed unlikely that she would be exposed, but the Valkyries' stares around her were real, and Sakura was confused.

To be on the safe side, she quietly placed one hand on her waist, ready to draw her quantum sword at any moment.

Well... it seems our Miss Sakura really doesn’t understand her own charm.

The Valkyries around her were indeed staring, but this didn’t necessarily mean she had been exposed.

After all, it was just a matter of sight—surely the Valkyries weren't staring because they were interested in her body!

Although Sakura was only wearing ordinary sportswear at the moment, her perfect figure and flawless face were hard to conceal.

And with her silky cherry-pink hair, the bonus points were nearly off the charts!

So, with all of this, it was no wonder she caught the attention of the Valkyries.

"Look! That pink-haired sister is so cute! I wonder which team she belongs to and where she lives."

"Sister, look at me! I want to have a baby with you!!!"

"So, does anyone dare to ask for contact info?"

"No, you’ve been watching her for so long—doesn’t anyone realize she really looks like the fox sister in Kallen Fantasy?"

"Hiss... You’re right! It’s almost like cosplay!"

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

These kinds of remarks hadn’t stopped since Sakura entered the street. After hearing them clearly, Sakura was speechless for a moment but also felt a bit relieved.

Well, it was just like when she and Sakura went to the amusement park.

But what she hadn’t expected was that these Valkyries, as women, would be interested in her. Or had the sexual orientation of people in modern civilization already changed?

"Then... that’s a question! If it’s convenient, sister, can I exchange contact information with you?"

Just as Sakura was still pondering this matter, a Valkyrie walked up, intending to take the initiative.

Her friends looked at her with encouragement, clearly hoping that if their best friend succeeded, they could benefit too. The girl looked a little shy. It was clearly the first time she had done this, and she was still a little unfamiliar.

"Sorry, I didn’t bring my phone with me today, but you can write down your contact information, and we’ll get in touch later."

Not wanting to waste too much time on this, Sakura found a compromise. After all, if she refused outright, she might be harassed by others for other reasons.

"Is that okay? Thank you so much!"

Originally, the girl had just wanted to try, not expecting success. Now, she was very excited to have received an unexpected answer. She quickly wrote down her contact information on a small piece of paper and handed it to Sakura.

Good manners prevented Sakura from disturbing her further. After a polite smile, the girl walked away with her companions, leaving behind a group of Valkyries who sighed in regret.

Sakura took the opportunity to quickly leave the area. Once she reached a quieter place, she reduced her presence a little.

Then she continued walking forward until she passed an artificial lake and unexpectedly spotted a familiar figure.

-------

305: The Overseer was assassinated!

Otto Apocalypse?

Is this the man who slandered Lau for causing an Artificial Eruption and issued a wanted order...

Hiding behind a large tree, Sakura silently observed Otto who was gazing at the lake in front of her. Murderous intent flashed in her eyes. She placed one hand on her waist, and at that moment, the quantum sword was already tightly grasped in her hand.

What is this called? After searching everywhere, it was easy to find. Sakura never thought that she would find Otto so easily. She expected to waste some time, but this time it saved time and trouble.

As a top killer, Sakura's ability to conceal her presence was so superb that the Valkyries passing by didn't notice anything unusual, including Otto, who didn't feel the slightest trace of murderous intent.

But there was still a chill running down his back.

Otto thought it was just the morning breeze and didn't pay much attention. After all, as a Overseer, what kind of accident could happen to him within the great Schicksal?

Looking at the Valkyries coming and going in pairs around him, Otto's thoughts drifted back more than five hundred years. Once upon a time, the young man was accompanied by a beautiful woman...

"Heh... When did I become so sentimental..."

Recalling the past, Otto shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly at the calm lake in the distance.

Sentimentality or not, he would think about it after completing his plan.

Turning around, Otto was about to get up and leave, but just as he took the first step, Sakura hiding behind the tree also moved.

This is an opportunity!

Almost instantly, like teleportation, Sakura appeared behind Otto—so fast that no one could react. Even Otto himself only felt a gust of wind carrying the scent of cherry blossoms, followed by a chill on his back, as if something terrifying was staring at him.

The threat of death, for more than five hundred years, Otto had never truly experienced this feeling.

Instinctively, Otto wanted to turn his head.

Swish!

A flash of cold light!

But despite this, he was still a step too slow, because by the time he turned his head, a blade had already pierced through his body.

"Uh...ah..."

Without time to react, as if all his limbs were frozen, Otto could only watch as his soulium body slowly lost its ability to move.

"Sentimental? Then let me free you."

A cold voice sounded in front of Otto. He looked up and suddenly his pupils trembled violently!

This face! Yae Sakura!!! That dead fox!!!

No... that woman should have died with time...

This was the first time in nearly a hundred years that the man named Otto had lost his composure like this. After all, Sakura's face was too shocking to him, especially in such a situation.

Even when the headquarters was attacked last time, he had never had such a reaction when seeing Sakura. After all, even if it is a body made of soulium, the pain of the blade piercing through and the threat of death were directly reflected in his mind. It was unforgettable.

In a sense, Sakura's face could be seen as a special attack on Otto, and it struck at his weakness!

The eighth of the Thirteen MANTIS of the Flamechasers, Sakura, who bears the Signet of [Setsuna], Otto instantly recognized the person after regaining his senses.

Then, combined with the wanted order, it was reasonable for him to be assassinated like this.

After all, Otto couldn’t remember where he had provoked this former civilization warrior.

"The Overseer was assassinated! Block the entire area!"

At this moment, some of the surrounding Valkyries also reacted, quickly drawing their weapons and surrounding the two.

It was possible to assassinate the Overseer under the eyes of so many Valkyries, and succeed. This alone was enough to make these Valkyries feel a little scared.

This must be the strength of an S-rank Valkyrie! This thought involuntarily crossed everyone's mind, and then the distress signal was sent out.

"Ladies, don't be impulsive. This lady is a friend of mine. It's just that the way we met was a little extreme. Don't worry, she won't hurt anyone casually."

???

After listening to Otto's words, a group of Valkyries began to wonder if their Overseer had lost his mind.

You call this "a little extreme"? Whose friend says such "heartfelt" things when they meet!?

Of course, this was just a simple complaint. They understood the real meaning behind Otto's words, so they stepped back and waited for the arrival of a certain S-rank Valkyrie.

The previously noisy scene suddenly quieted down.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Sakura. This is your second time visiting Schicksal. Why... don't you let me, as a Overseer, show some hospitality? Instead, you are so enthusiastic right from the start..."

Otto said weakly, his consciousness slipping away, but still with a smile on his face. Although it might seem a little forced, it was clear that this man wouldn't want to lose his composure in front of others—even if he were to die.

"No point in saying more. Let's save these words for our next meeting."

Sakura was somewhat surprised that Otto didn’t let these Valkyries rush forward to die, but her tone was still cold.

After all, one thing is one thing, and the man in front of her had always hurt her family.

That’s right. In Sakura's heart, she had already regarded Bai Mo as her second sister.

Of course, she wasn’t the only one who had this thought. After all, the Golden Courtyard was always a big family.

"Next time we meet? Miss Sakura, you..."

He was still a bit confused by what Sakura said, but before Otto could finish his words, Sakura suddenly twisted the blade and pulled it out, then cut again.

The whole process took less than a second. Otto's soulium body was cut in half, then turned into a pool of soulium liquid, which Ying condensed into a round sphere and collected.

After all, Mobius still lacked this thing.

"You!!!"

Because Sakura resolved everything too quickly, the Valkyries just reacted and wanted to step forward, but they were all knocked away by Sakura’s blade.

Of course, Sakura used the back of the knife at this point. After all, her purpose in coming to Schicksal this time was just for Otto alone.

----------

306: Otto: Why did you wake up, and you?

Also, in the airport's subordinate area, in a hibernation chamber where the soulium body was placed, Otto's consciousness slowly came online.

After synchronizing his memories, he walked out of it.

He had many spare soulium bodies like this. He placed five to ten of them in almost every airport at Schicksal headquarters to prevent accidents.

"It feels really bad to be killed."

After moving his wrist, Otto held his forehead and spoke with a headache.

After all, Otto was just an ordinary person. No one would feel good after experiencing death. So what if he had a soulium body? The pain and everything else remained the same as his original body.

Everything around him was a mess, covered in dust, as if no one had been here for years. Slowly closing the door of the hibernation capsule, Otto turned around and walked outside.

He guess the situation outside must be chaotic right now…

The dignified Overseer of Schicksal was assassinated in his own headquarters, right under the noses of a bunch of Valkyries. If this information were to get out, he'd really lose all his dignity.

Thinking of this, Otto shook his head with a wry smile.

Of course, he didn’t care much about this bit of face. After all, Void Archives rated Sakura as one of the strongest killers in the previous era, codenamed [Forget-me-not], a person who had been wandering the edge of darkness for many years. Her strength was naturally unquestionable. Especially after becoming a MANTIS, her strength became unfathomable. It was said that a single strike from her sword could freeze space for a short time, so killing someone was easy.

One had to sigh at the power and abnormality of MANTIS.

Thinking about this, Otto couldn’t help but think of Kalpas, who had just destroyed the Oceania branch earlier that morning. Like Sakura, both of them were from [COCOON] before and could be considered the black gloves of [MOTH]. As the leader of an organization, he naturally knew the madness and terror of such people.

Did I lose everything this time? No, it’s not that I lost everything. At most, I just hit a wall because I didn’t gather enough information in advance. After all, if you want to test others' bottom lines, you have to pay some price. It’s nothing more than the destruction of a branch and the loss of a body of soulium.

Otto could still accept it. At most, he’d give his good granddaughter less pocket money next month.

...

In the dark and deep corridor, only the sound of footsteps echoed. The rest of the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Twenty meters away from the exit, Otto held the Void Archives in one hand, using it as a light source.

"Bang!!"

Suddenly, just before Otto was about to touch the door, a loud noise came from outside.

It felt like someone was banging on the door with a heavy object. Was it Bianka?

Otto frowned in confusion.

Indeed, after the news of his assassination spread, Bianka would definitely rush here. After all, besides Amber, only Bianka knew the location of his spare soulium body at Schicksal. And this recklessness was very similar to Bianka knocking on the door with the Black Abyss and White Flowers. Thinking of this, Otto’s expression couldn’t help but relax.

But the next moment, what happened outside the door shattered all of Otto’s assumptions.

"Bang!!"

With a loud crash, the exit door collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust. The smooth and neat cut was definitely the mark left by a sharp blade. It wasn’t the Black Abyss and White Flowers smashing the door.

Realizing this, Otto immediately became alert. The Void Archives in his hand shifted into the appearance of the Mimicry Judgement of Shamash.

As a ray of light shone in, the light dispelled the darkness. At this moment, Otto, still dazed, saw the face he had been thinking about again.

"You...."

"I told you we would meet again, but rest assured, this will be the last time."

Before Otto could react, or rather, before he even had the chance to resist, Sakura’s long sword slashed out immediately.

In an instant, Otto’s body was torn to pieces without any pain. Sakura was in a hurry.

Then, using the same method, Sakura once again collected the soulium scattered on the ground, as if she had rehearsed it countless times. Without delay, Sakura solved everything. Moreover, she was able to find this place thanks to the black technology given by Vill-V. She only needed to place the liquid soulium into one point, and it would automatically display the location of the other corresponding models of soulium.

After all, if Otto wanted to use soulium to make a body, he had to modify it and implant some kind of signal. So, Vill-V, who dealt with soulium all day in the pre-civilization, naturally knew this and had prepared this tracker for Sakura.

"Sakura, come back soon after you’ve resolved the issue. The signal shows that someone is heading in your direction."

The tracker which had been silent before, suddenly emitted Vill-V’s voice. Sakura wasn’t surprised at all. She simply said "hmm."

A little back door? Vill-V was always likes this. Besides, her original plan was to evacuate after dealing with this body.

Sakura's long pink hair swayed in the wind as she skillfully concealed her figure, darting between various buildings.

Some Valkyries nearby were still searching for her, or rather, the entire Schicksal organization was still on the lookout. She was already being sought.

...

With less than a thousand meters left to the edge of the airport, Sakura decided to jump down from there and then summon a flying vehicle to catch her. For a MANTIS’s physique, it wouldn’t be a big deal to fall directly into the sea.

Holding the brim of her hat, Sakura bent down and sped up.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Stop! Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action!"

A golden figure had caught up with her without her noticing. It was Durandal. Using the Power of the Bubble World, she was extremely fast and appeared in front of Ying in the blink of an eye, holding a spear to block her way.

"【Setsuna】Tsukoyomi!"

In response, Sakura didn’t say much. She immediately slashed at Durandal.

Suddenly, cold light filled the air!

It seemed as though every afterimage in the sky was the real body, and the dense slashing attacks, like a rainstorm, soon fell on the spear made of stars.

---------

307: Setsuna vs the Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal

"You assassinated the Overseer and still wanted to escape privately! You should know the consequences of doing so."

During the battle between the two, Durandal questioned angrily.

"But forgive me for being frank, you don't have the Power to defeat me." Sakura waved the long sword, and her expression did not fluctuate at all. "Besides, it was your Overseer who made the mistake first. Those who confuse right and wrong deserve punishment."

"What a confusion of right and wrong, it was obviously the Herrscher who killed first! Why, don't you deny it?"

Not knowing the truth of the matter, just taking what she saw in front of her as the truth, Durandal naturally would not give Sakura a good face.

But this can't be blamed on her; after all, the Power of Sentience used by Bai Mo at that time was very powerful, and it was easy for people to believe it.

And what Sakura said was just to emphasize the latter's creation of artificial eruption, without mentioning the destruction of the Snow Lotus team at all.

What is this? While shielding the Herrscher, she also treated human life as worthless! All these things made Durandal even more angry.

"Ah..."

Sakura was very distressed about this matter because she knew the truth but could not tell it. After all, it was Lau who told her, so she knew that she could not reveal the truth no matter what.

Some truths, even if someone knows them, as long as the real owner does not admit them, then all of this is other people's guesses, and there is no need to make a fuss about it.

Since the Snow Lotus Squad has joined the World Serpent, Bai Mo has to provide them with a stable life accordingly. Even though the World Serpent is now very powerful and does not fear Schicksal, it is inevitable that some people will gossip after this matter is exposed.

So Bai Mo thought she was making a lot of money by using a fake identity and a fake face to exchange for these, and the truth will always come out. It will not be too late to explain everything at that time.

"You don't understand anything."

Although she couldn't tell the truth, Sakura still couldn't swallow her breath and immediately used this statement to vent her unhappiness.

Thousands of stars gathered here!

Facing Ying's sharp attack, Durandal held the spear and resisted back and forth, with the golden holy armor already worn on her body.

Perhaps Sakura didn't use her full strength at all; the two of them fought back and forth for a while, but in the end, Sakura still suppressed Durandal.

After all, whether in terms of skills or combat experience, this was not comparable to Durandal.

After more than 50,000 years of accumulation, even in the Elysian Realm, Sakura's sword skills were not static!

During the battle, Sakura caught a gap in Durandal's defense and directly knocked her away with a palm. Then, the whole person followed like a ghost.

"Dea Achora! Cast!"

Seeing this, Durandal quickly used the Power of the Bubble World to turn into a shield to resist in front of her, with starlight gushing behind her, trying to find a balance point to stabilize her body.

But what she did was met with Sakura's fiercer attack.

In the midst of the flash of swords and sabers, the ice blade once again broke through Durandal's defense.

On the other hand, the spear transformed by the stars also lifted up Sakura's hat.

A pair of long fox ears were exposed to the air as if they had broken through the seal.

Hmm?

Is this considered to be actively increasing the difficulty for herself? Sakura didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although this pair of ears is a byproduct of the MANTIS Program, it is also a kind of organ in her body. If she usually covers it with a hat, it will affect her perception and hearing to a certain extent.

Now Durandal's move has inadvertently opened a layer of seal on Sakura, adding a little difficulty to herself.

"Dazzling Hundred Flowers! Red Leaves!"

Wrapped with a little frost, the sharp blade drew a moon arc in the air, followed by countless knife marks and afterimages, and finally exploded like fireworks.

"Stars! Gather here!"

And Durandal was not to be outdone and immediately burst out with stronger power, just like the holy sword that anchored the world, and her overall power was rapidly improving.

The azure light turned into a trail of meteors as the spear swung, taking all of Sakura's attacks and countering to a large extent.

Among them, Sakura sensed something in this Power.

"You are the one chosen by Su."

A trace of surprise flashed in Sakura's cold eyes, but then she quickly returned to her usual calm.

Su, who possessed the Signet of [Bodhi Wisdom], a wise man, would actually choose such a... ahem... a little silly girl?

Well, Sakura can only think of this word to describe Durandal for the time being, and there is a saying that goes, "Don't turn back until you hit the south wall,"

I'm afraid this girl should be the kind of person who will move forward even if she hits the south wall.

It's easy for Sakura to see through a person's true heart and character.

Since this girl is also Su's chosen successor, she can be a little more aggressive.

It's not a personal vendetta, but a comradeship of more than 50,000 years. She wants to train the girl in front of her.

"So what? Besides, that pioneer is not like you, who is with the Honkai and the Herrscher."

When Sakura mentioned Su, Durandal just frowned and didn't deny it.

"I really hope you can say that when you see him again."

"Come on, since you are Su's chosen one, let me see your true strength."

After saying this, Ying's aura changed instantly. It was not winter yet, and the sword didn't emit cold air, but Durandal always felt that she was in the ice and snow.

The cold wind was biting, as if her soul was frozen.

This was a complete crushing in strength. Even if she tried her best to activate the power of the Bubble World in her body, it was useless.

Helplessly, Durandal could only charge up and prepare to use her strongest attack.

After all, she could feel that the woman in front of her was not lying

Was she trying to see how high she could reach?

Then it's as you wish!

The thoughts follow the heart!

Durandal completely released the power of the Bubble World in her body at this moment, without any reservation.

The soaring starlight even dyed the sky with color. Even the people in the entire Schicksal headquarters could see this strange scene from a long distance, including Otto. He had been observing this side, but now he didn't dare to move forward.

Well, I understand.

On the battlefield, as Durandal completed the charge, Sakura on the side was ready at any time.

The body leaned down slightly, one hand on the scabbard, the other on the hilt, performing an Iai gesture.

----------

308: End of the Battle/Otto's Proposed Cooperation

"This strike! Penetrate the stars!"

The Power of the Bubble World surged through Durandal's body, and golden streams of light gushed out, gathering in front of her to form a golden longbow.

Raising her foot to step on the bow, Durandal lowered her body, pulled the bowstring with one hand, and stretched it to the maximum extent.

The spear, previously transformed by the stars, became an "arrow" at that moment

With a sudden release of her hand, the "holy sword," which gathered the Power of thousands of stars and anchored the world, was shot out with a force that broke through the air.

Whoosh!!!

After this strike, the Power of the Bubble World in Durandal's body was temporarily drained, and the golden holy armor slowly faded away. Durandal covered her chest and gasped.

If this strike still didn't work, then she truly had no other choice.

A complex expression flashed in her eyes as Durandal looked up. By this time, the "arrow" carrying the Power of the world had already reached Ying, less than ten meters away.

"Not bad power; in this respect, you have already qualified."

Ying admitted this point without hesitation. After all, the Power contained in this attack was stronger than that of many people. Even if the Herrscher of the current civilization faced it, it would definitely not be easy.

But unfortunately, the person Durandal was facing at this time was Sakura, the eighth of the Thirteen MANTIS of the Flamechasers! Not an ordinary person!

"What?!"

In Durandal's surprised eyes, she saw Sakura pull the sword from its scabbard while facing her strongest attack, and then swing it forward.

There was no fancy technique, no shadow of swordsmanship, just a simple, ordinary attack, but it brought Durandal an incomparable shock.

Because this move was not as calm as it appeared on the surface, the power contained in it was extremely mysterious.

A blade was swung, but it unleashed an overwhelming wave of light, with biting cold air overflowing. Everything around seemed to freeze under this blade.

In those few short seconds, in this lightless field, only Sakura could move.

Time lagged, consciousness fled, and everything seemed to freeze.

The blade was unsheathed, and Sakura's attack completely "froze" the space!

Was it a trump card? No, this was simply an attack method that Ying had realized through her swordsmanship.

Like a leisurely stroll in the garden, Sakura looked at the "arrow" in front of her that had stopped moving, easily bypassed it from the side, and then flashed behind Durandal.

"Let's end it here. As someone chosen by Su, I recognize your strength."

A cold voice brought Durandal back to her senses, and the space returned to normal. The "arrow," carrying the Power of the world, had just missed, and a huge explosion came from the front.

A large area of vegetation and buildings were destroyed, leaving only debris behind. It was clear how lowerful Durandal's attack had been.

"You won."

Did I lose? Yes, in the face of absolute strength, I didn't even have the Power to resist.

If this were a real battlefield, I would have lost to that blade from the very beginning.

Looking at the spirit blade pressed against her neck, emitting bursts of cold air, a feeling of Powerlessness surged in Durandal's heart.

"Relax, I won't do anything to you. You still have a lot of room for growth in the future. I look forward to the next time we fight again."

Sakura slowly removed the spirit blade Hanyu Bingtian from Durandal's neck, sheathed it, and then spoke softly.

A good fighter—except that she’s a little silly.

At least Sakura now had a good impression of Durandal. Of course, it would be even better if she could complain less about Lau.

"Pa pa pa pa..."

Suddenly, just as Durandal was still considering whether to continue fighting, a round of applause rang out from outside the field.

Then, voices familiar to both of them echoed.

"You two really had a wonderful competition, especially Miss Sakura. The rumored sword skills that can freeze space are indeed well-deserved."

Another new soulium body, Otto, slowly walked over from behind, wearing a very formal smile, as if he didn't care at all that Sakura had "killed" him twice.

"My Lord Overseer."

Durandal nodded and then stepped forward to protect Otto.

Otto smiled and waved his hand, signaling that it wasn't necessary. After all, if Ying wanted to kill him again, no one here could stop her.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you again?"

The hand that had been loosened once again grasped the hilt of the blade, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in Sakura's cold eyes.

She was not joking with this sentence. After all, the original evacuation time had been delayed, so she didn’t mind taking action again.

"It's just a mass-produced soulium body, and I see Miss Sakura seems to be interested in soulium. There are still many souliums in Schicksal, and you want..."

"No need. I came here just to kill you a few times to vent my anger and sharpen my blade in the process."

Before Otto finished speaking, Sakura interrupted him directly, and the temperature around her dropped a few degrees again. Durandal also became alert.

"Sorry."

The murderous intent, which was not concealed at all, stunned Otto, but in order to cooperate with the World Serpent, he didn't mind offering a sincere apology.

"I mean, those incorrect statements on Miss Aslaug's wanted order will soon be revoked by Schicksal, along with the entire wanted order."

When Otto said this, his tone was quite serious, clearly adopting the role of Overseer of Schicksal.

Durandal just frowned but didn't say anything.

Hasn't the Overseer done enough outrageous things? This is not the only one.

"Heh... you have a good calculation. Is it still useful to revoke this wanted order at this point? Or are you treating us like fools?"

The voice came from the device in Ying's hand. Obviously, Sakura couldn't stand it anymore, so she responded sarcastically.

"Schicksal will make additional compensation for this."

At this point, Otto didn't care who the voice was and added immediately,

"Compensation? The World Serpent doesn’t need your little bit, and what’s your purpose in doing this?"

"An opportunity for us to cooperate with each other, an opportunity between Schicksal and the World Serpent."

"......"

Sakura was silent for a long time on the other side of the device. She wasn't suited to discuss this; she just wanted to vent Bai Mo's anger.

------

309: Vill-V's Magic Show

"Why do you have to talk about cooperation? If you want to talk, go talk to Kevin!"

At this time, the [The Magician] in the magic workshop scratched her hair in annoyance.

She was really not good at this kind of thing. If she had known earlier, she would have let the [I] or [The Conductor] split into a personality like [The Politician].

If she encounters this situation again, Vill-V will definitely make sure Otto suffers the consequences and takes a piece of meat from him.

[Evil]: "What's the point of talking to this person? Just send him off with a bomb!"

[Expert]: "Although the bomb in the device is small, it is powerful enough."

[I]: "Although I don't recommend that you cause trouble for Lau, it's better not to play too much."

[Magician]: Well, let Kevin worry about this matter himself. Let's stick to the original plan. After all, the audience has already entered the venue, and this genius magic show can't be abandoned halfway."

Shrugging helplessly, [Magician] still agreed with [Evil]'s idea. After all, she had been unhappy with Otto for a long time.

He only had a fake smile on his face all day long, and he looked similar to some politicians in the Fire Moth. Just looking at him made her annoyed.

[Expert]: "In the future, you should write less explosive literature and learn less from Evil."

[Evil]: "Who made the bomb? What do you mean by learning less from me? Aren't you just talking about yourself?"

She was ruthless. After all, the most important part of this plan still depended on [Expert] to complete it; otherwise, where would the bombs come from?

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

This feeling of holding a meeting was really giving [Magician] a headache. Is it really fun to argue with yourself every day?

After unilaterally interrupting the "Shared Internet Chat Room," [Magician] finally decided to act according to the original plan.

She picked up the device again and said in a rather impatient tone. "You can talk about cooperation, but before that, how about this magician show you a magic trick?"

As Vill-V said this, Sakura far away at the headquarters of Schicksal subconsciously took a half step back, as if she was about to throw the device out at any moment.

When the [Magician] performs magic, it is really crazy in every sense. It's okay for acquaintances; at least they can watch a normal magic show.

But if it's an outsider, especially someone like Otto, who is obviously hostile, Sakura can't guarantee that the [Magician] will be serious.

"It's my honor, Miss Vill-V."

But it's obvious that Otto didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at this time. Although he guessed Vill-V's true identity from her words, Otto didn't know her after all.

Our silly goose was even more confused. Didn't this matter develop too much?

Obviously, she just had a fight with someone, her own Overseer apologized and talked about cooperation, and in the end, he actually did this—performing magic??

This is being killed twice; is her brain a little out of touch?

But she didn't dare to say it.

"Hahaha, good! Since the audience has entered, I will announce that this magic show is officially open!"

On the other side of the device, Sakura's tone was extremely cheerful, sweeping away the previous unhappiness. Although the venue and the momentum of this magic show were very small, it did not prevent her from being happy.

"Sakura!"

As if to remind her of something, Sakura's voice came again.

"I know."

Removing her hand from the hilt, Sakura picked up the black device that looked like a small box with both hands, walked forward a few steps, and came to Otto's side.

"Take it," Ying said in a tone that could not be refused.

And Otto really took the device over by magic.

In fact, he was quite curious about what magic would be performed by Vill-V, who was called "the magic king of the twilight era" by Void Archives.

And even if this magic was a fraud, what would it matter? It was just a soulium body anyway.

Well, before he knew it, Otto actually had a feeling that he was used to death.

"Take care."

After completing the handover ceremony, Sakura left this message to Durandal, and then disappeared in an instant.

Durandal frowned, wanting to say something but not saying it.

[If I were you, I would not easily agree to watch Vill-V's magic show.]

After a long time, until the device in his hand made a ticking sound, the voice of Void Archives suddenly sounded in Otto's mind, but then there was no further movement.

Refuse to receive all messages~

After all, it's not the same thing to die. There are so many documents in the library that you really don't read at all. The explosion at Fire Moth was the work of this lady!

Void Archives said that he wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be a very happy thing to see Otto suffer in this way.

Well, in fact, it thought so, so this is why it chose not to remind Otto in advance.

"......"

Why didn't you say it earlier? Suddenly, he felt like his back was stabbed, and Otto's face was full of black lines.

Because at this time, he had another discovery: this device was stuck to his hand, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.

"Let me ask you, as long as I watch this magic show, the World Serpent can cooperate with Schicksal, right?"

But he still had a formal smile on his face. Although Sakura couldn't see it, Otto asked very patiently. Then, he gestured to Durandal and asked her to leave here quickly.

It seemed that he had been fooled for the first time in a long time, and this feeling was still very novel. So today, he wanted to see what this so-called magic show was.

Tick-tick-tick.

The sound similar to a countdown continued, but Vill-V's voice never came out of the device again.

Otto was not in a hurry about this. Anyway, when the Fifth Eruption came, he would personally contact the World Serpent, and every word that Vill-V said today, he could also take out and apply at that time.

10... 9... 8... 3... 2... 1

As the countdown reached zero, the device in Otto's hand suddenly began to heat up rapidly.

"Bang!"

A sound similar to an explosion did occur, but... what exploded from the device was a bouquet of flowers... and it looked very expensive.

Otto was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

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

On the other side, on the aircraft where Sakura was.

"By the way, Vill-V, your magic show this time... should be okay?"

There was no sound for a long time, which was really not in line with the style of the [Magician]. Sakura couldn't help but say to the projection of Vill-V next to her.

"The [Magician] said that she connected the fuse to a bouquet of flowers. As long as Otto didn't take the flowers..."

Bang! ! !

Before the [Expert] finished speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly came from behind them.

Well... the smoke is billowing, and the area affected by the explosion... I guess that area should be rebuilt.

Then there was the collapse of some large buildings and a loud noise in the sea.

Yakura looked at it; well, she really shouldn't doubt the style of the [Magician].

-------

310: On Cooperation

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

"Pfft, so Sister Vill-V, you really blew up Otto!"

At this time, Vill-V and Sakura had returned to the Golden Courtyard. Bai Mo couldn't stop laughing when she heard about the cooperation between the two.

It’s what he deserved. Who told this old man to issue a wanted order for himself? He’s in big trouble now!

So satisfying!

"Of course, he can't watch my magic show for free! At least he should pay some interest."

That’s right, one-third of the area at the edge of the airport in the subordinate area was directly blown up, which will cost at least tens of billions of dollars in repairs.

This is when Vill-V held back; otherwise, the tragedy of Fire Moth would have to be restored to Schicksal one-to-one.

"Anyway! Well done, sister Vill-V!" Bai Mo immediately gave a thumbs-up, then smiled slightly. "Speaking of Sister Sakura, how does it feel to fight with Dudu?"

Dudu?

Are you talking about the girl named Durandal? Well, that’s indeed a very name.

"As the heir selected by Su, I think she is qualified in both strength and character, but... forget it."

"She just looks a little silly, very straightforward, right?" Seeing Samura hesitate and not knowing what to say, Bai Mo immediately added.

"That's right."

This time, Sakura nodded without hesitation.

"After all, she is from the Kaslana family; most of them are like this."

Kevin has to take the blame for them to inherit ancestor traits. After all, when he was a teenager, especially in high school, Kevin was unusually straight-laced.

After hearing Bai Mo's words, Sakura and Vill-V's faces showed surprise, then slowly returned to normal.

The Kaslana family, so that's to say, Kevin's descendant. Sakura still couldn’t tell from Durandal’s blonde hair.

"By the way, Lau, Otto said before we left that he would withdraw the wanted order for you in the next two days."

Suddenly remembering something, Vill-V spoke up.

"Cancel the wanted order? Is it still useful to cancel it now? And Otto is not a good man. If he does this, he must have a request, right?"

She really doesn't like this so-called wanted order. Bai Mo still looked indifferent.

However, Otto actually took the initiative to bring up this matter. Either he was scared by the World Serpent and wanted to give in, or he was planning something new, such as cooperating with the World Serpent? So canceling the wanted order is also a kind gesture?

As the person who had read the plot, Bai Mo knows that Otto has long been coveting the "beacon" of the Second Divine Key. The Second Divine Key obtained by Schicksal is incomplete. Its most important "beacon" is still in Kevin's hands. Without the guidance of the "beacon," the Second Divine Key cannot exert its full power.

"That’s right, and the [Magician] also said the same thing to him at the beginning. As for Otto’s purpose, he wants to cooperate with our World Serpent, and he said that he can give everything he has for this."

Speaking of which, Vill-V was also a little confused. After all, Schicksal is a big organization that controls the world, but why does she always feel that the so-called Schicksal is something Otto can abandon at any time?

Cooperating with the World Serpent, is it because of the high-end combat power here? In addition, Vill-V can't find any other highlights of the World Serpent.

There is nothing wrong with what Vill-V said. After all, the current strength of the World Serpent is all supported by the Thirteen MANTIS and Bai Mo. If there are no external factors, the World Serpent and Schicksal, fighting with just their organizational strength, might really suffer.

"Sure enough, I knew Otto wouldn’t miss this opportunity."

"Sure enough?"

Sakura was a little confused when she heard it and immediately tilted her head. At the same time, Vill-V also looked at Bai Mo.

"Well, Otto wants to cooperate with the World Serpent just to get the beacon of the Second Divine Key from Kevin."

Bai Mo waved her hand and then said.

It’s normal that the two of them don’t know. After all, Bai Mo only told Elysia and Mobius about those things concerning Otto.

Well, if we count them all, we should add Kevin, too. And everyone in Saint Freya, since she described it in the form of a story at the beginning.

"The beacon of the Second Divine Key? What does Otto want this for?"

"He wants to reach the Imaginary Tree," Bai Mo answered with a serious look. "To revive the one he loves."

Then, Bai Mo briefly explained to the two the purpose of Otto's actions.

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

"Cheating the world, interesting. This is really interesting!"

After a long time, after listening to Bai Mo’s explanation, the [Magician] had to applaud Otto’s plan.

After all, this is also a magic that shocked the world!

Sakura didn’t say much about this, but in her heart, she couldn’t help but look up to Otto.

Throughout the entire era, even in previous era, there was no one who could do what he did.

"So, what do you think, Lau?"

What Vill-V said was about cooperation.

"Schicksal and World Serpent will always cooperate. Now that Kevin is no longer carrying out the Project Stigma, human unity is necessary."

"Although our World Serpent is very powerful now, we have to say that the world is still maintained by Schicksal."

"So, if we want to fight against the Honkai, humans must work together and move forward together."

"Besides, regarding Otto's plan... Actually, I have a new idea recently, but I still need to discuss it with Kevin."

The World Serpent agrees that there will be no loss if it cooperates with Schicksal. On the contrary, humans can use Otto’s hand to block the Power of the two Herrschers. However, Bai Mo now has several other ideas in his mind.

Otto is a rare fighting force for humans. Although he committed many sins when he was alive, from the perspective of the overall situation, he and Schicksal do not seem to owe humanity anything.

It would be a pity for him to die like that. After all, why can’t there be a way to have the best of both worlds?

------

311: The Bitter Miss Raven

"Well, if you think so, Lau, then you should really have a good talk with Kevin."

After listening to Bai Mo's words, Sakura nodded seriously.

Anyway, no matter how things develop, she just needs to follow the rhythm, and the rest is up to Kevin, as the leader, to handle.

In addition, Sakura... it's better to say that most of the MANTIS share the same thoughts in their hearts.

"Don't worry... ha... ah, Kevin will definitely agree on this."

Since it was already night, Bai Mo stretched lazily and leaned on the sofa.

It will be a few days before the Fifth Eruption occurs, and Bai Mo also plans to talk to Kevin about this matter in the next few days.

After discussing the matter, the three of them had some dinner. As for Little Griseo and Raven, they had already gone to bed.

"It seems that Rin is a little sleepy. Lau, Sakura, I will take Ling back first. You should go to bed early."

Looking at Rin lying on her legs, Sakura said softly. After all, there was nothing to deal with today, so it would be better to go back and rest early.

"Well, there’s a car at the door. Sister Sakura, you can drive back. Don’t let Ling catch a cold."

Hearing this, Bai Mo nodded and took out the car keys from his pocket.

"Yeah."

Sakura smiled slightly, then took the car keys and turned to walk out of the house. Seeing this, Bai Mo and Sakura hurried out to see her off.

"Be careful on the road!" ×2

"Yeah, you should go back soon too."

As the engine started, the car drove away.

The night wind was cool. Under the moonlight, Bai Mo's cherry-white hair resembled the Milky Way, covered with a mysterious veil.

If Bai Mo activated the Finally form right now, she might be mistaken for the goddess of the moon.

Hehe... in a sense.

"By the way, Sister Vill-V, you should stay here tonight. It’s troublesome to go back at night."

After the car left, Bai Mo subconsciously played with the ends of her hair with her fingers and spoke to Vill-V, who was about to leave.

The expression on her face was a little unnatural.

Was it a shy act? Actually, no.

Ahem, how could she have any bad intentions! I am just afraid of the dark when I sleep at night and need someone to accompany me to sleep on the left, right, and middle!

Besides, Sister Vill-V has such a big heart, burying her head... ahem, in short, it feels very safe!

"Well... okay, I will stay here tonight."

Vill-V glanced at Bai Mo meaningfully, but did not refuse. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and agreed.

Yeah!!!

Someone was so happy! She immediately tricked, no, invited Vill-V to take a bath together, and then they lay on the big bed together.

"Hmm!"

However, as soon as she got on the bed, Bai Mo who had been secretly planning was hugged by Vill-V and held in her arms, causing her whole face to be covered.

??

What is this? I haven’t pretended to be asleep yet and you just gave it to me for free, Sister Vill-V?

In that case, don’t blame me for being rude!

After a quick glance at Vill-V, Bai Mo saw that she was indeed asleep, her breathing steady, and it didn’t seem like she was pretending. She immediately broke free from her arm, then twisted her body to find a comfortable position and squinted her eyes to enjoy it.

In the moments before her consciousness drifted to sleep, Bai Mo’s mind was still full of white flowers.

[Magician]: "High, really high, worthy of me."

[Cook]: "I suggest each person take ten minutes at a time, so everyone can experience it."

[Evil]: "What are you afraid of! Just take off all your clothes! Then *********"

[Conductor]: "Calm down! Evil! This is not the time to go crazy!"

[Expert]: "Lau, didn’t you notice that the conspirator was grinning?"

[Magician]: "Did you hear your body screaming?"

[Evil]: "Did you feel that the big bed is falling apart?"

Okay, Vill-V was actually pretending to sleep.

"Okay, okay, it's not as exaggerated as you say, be honest."

After being called out by "myself", Vill-V paused and began to blush.

After all, she was just an ordinary girl, maintaining her innocence.

But is this what the book calls sticking? It feels really magical.

Vill-V glanced at Bai Mo, who was sleeping soundly on her chest. Her slender hands moved back and forth on his belly. The delicate skin and soft touch made her love it.

Of course, this was just normal care. Including the remaining five people, they didn’t do anything too excessive.

After all, only Elysia could do that so far.

Well... this is what it’s like to be high-ranking.

Gradually, after an hour, Vill-V began to feel sleepy and slowly fell asleep.

It was almost one o’clock in the morning. Logically, everyone on the bed should have fallen into a deep sleep.

But... in the darkness, a little girl suddenly opened her eyes.

A pair of violet eyes wide open, Griseo’s face blushed, and she almost had steam coming out of her head.

For a whole hour, she saw everything Vill-V did.

The girl was shocked! Could it be that the sound she heard in the room that day was Sister Elysia doing this with Sister Aslaug?

Bold! This is simply too bold! Especially in this case, it was Sister Vill-V who took the lead!

Is this what is often called sneaking in the manga?

I don’t know if it was because of some strange color, but at this time, Little Griseo actually moved her body and lay on Bai Mo’s body.

Feeling the reassuring breath and the fragrance of jasmine, the little one soon fell asleep on his body.

Well... after all, it’s still a child’s mentality. Even if she has some knowledge, she dares not act on it.

(Note: Little Griseo dares not write for the time being.)

Somehow, the sleeping Raven seemed to feel something and frowned slightly.

312: The Fifth Eruption that Suddenly Happened

It was a peaceful day, and at least Bai Mo was still thinking about going shopping.

However, these pleasant thoughts were shattered by a piece of news early this morning.

Yes, it was the Fifth Eruption, which suddenly erupted on Coral Island.

After hearing the news, Kevin immediately called a meeting to prepare for the battle against the Herrscher.

In the meeting hall of the World Serpent, the atmosphere wasn’t chaotic, but it was lively, much like a team-building event for the Fire Moth.

All the Flamechasers who had arrived in the present world, including Bai Mo, were gathered there.

Kevin sat at the head of the table, holding a document in his hand and reading it carefully. Kosma sat beside him, silent as always. Only Mobius and Kalpas seemed to be bickering.

On Bai Mo's side, Griseo sat obediently in her lap, with Vill-V, Eden, and Sakura beside her, and, of course, a cat taking a nap.

"So Kevin, what is the situation on Coral Island now?"

Elysia was naturally not absent, and with Bai Mo’s body as support, she couldn’t help but ask first.

Obviously, others were also very concerned about this issue. When Elysia asked the question, everyone turned their attention to Kevin.

"The Fifth Eruption broke out an hour and a half ago, three days earlier than we expected," Kevin said seriously, laying the information flat on the table so everyone could see it.

However, Mobius didn’t think it was such a big deal. "Is it really necessary to call everyone here with such a big fanfare? It’s just the Fifth Eruption, Kevin. This is no longer the previous era."

Her words mocked the current civilization’s Herrscher’s strength, and Mobius wasn’t backing down.

Besides, according to the original plan, she, Kevin, and the little white mouse should have gone together when the Honkai occurred. So, what was the point of gathering everyone together now?

Was Kevin planning to send the entire World Serpent family to "warm up" the Herrscher? Honestly, the Herrscher from the previous era wasn’t much to worry about.

But this couldn’t be blamed entirely on Kevin. After all, he was still too sensitive about events involving the Honkai, so he chose to gather everyone and hold a meeting based on past experiences.

Everyone understood, but Mobius… Well, if she didn’t say something, she wouldn’t be herself. Oh, and of course, there was also Kalpas.

"Heh… A mere Herrscher of Ice, if you have time to hold this meeting, it’s better for me to tear her into pieces!"

Sure enough, without Aponia there, someone’s temper was completely unrestrained. Kalpas vented his dissatisfaction and slapped the table. He had torn apart bugs like the Herrscher of Ice by hand before becoming a MANTIS.

"......"

After listening to what the two said, Kevin thought for a moment and decided to abandon the idea of making a battle plan. The Herrscher of the current civilization was indeed somewhat weak, which was beyond doubt.

"Then let’s follow the original plan. This time, Snake, Kevin, and I will go together?"

Bai Mo asked tentatively. Taking the aircraft made by Sakura, combined with her Herrscher of the Void Power, it would be very simple to reach Coral Island quickly. It was just a little tiring.

"Ah?"

As soon as she heard this, Kalpas was immediately dissatisfied. He crossed his arms, put his feet on the table, and stopped talking.

Through the mask, Bai Mo could tell that Kalpas definitely rolled her eyes at her.

Brother, it’s not that we don’t want you to go, but what if you didn't hold your strength while fighting the Herrscher of Ice and accidentally break the core? The Herrscher of the current civilization isn’t that tough. You should rest and let me handle it.

Kevin and Mobius were easy to handle. They were there to act as insurance for her, but Bai Mo felt that she didn’t really need that insurance.

Given her current strength, it wouldn’t take much effort to deal with the Herrscher of Ice.

As for the Star Herrscher, Chen Tianwu didn’t appear on Coral Island due to the butterfly effect, so it was highly likely that this Herrscher wouldn’t appear.

"Count me in."

It was rare that Eden hadn’t been drinking, but her voice was still unmistakably recognizable.

"Hey~ Okay, Eden, you’re going too!"

Elysia’s voice sounded pleasantly surprised.

"Well, I’m still worried about you guys."

Eden turned around and smiled, each movement exuding elegance.

"Wow, another foul speech, but if Eden comes, Lau and I will be very happy~♪"

"That’s right! Ellie and I like Sister Eden the most!"

Bai Mo nodded after hearing this. She was relieved about Eden’s character. It was just one more person to watch the show. Besides, Mobius and Kevin didn’t object.

"Then let’s do it."

After confirming the specific number of people, Kevin turned and left. The rest of the people followed suit, and Little Griseo was happily invited to the house by Rin.

Before leaving, the two little ones didn’t forget to give Bai Mo a hug.

"Lau! Be careful when fighting the Herrscher! Also, I’ll share half of my good luck with you!"

The original mission of placing a bomb on Otto had been canceled by Vill-V due to the need for cooperation, so Pardo didn’t choose to follow.

However, Pardo still felt that she had to give something, so she handed Bai Mo the cat’s paw coin she had treasured for a long time.

Seeing this, Bai Mo rubbed Pardo’s little head, then left after talking to Vill-V and Sakura.

"Great! Then the Herrscher of Ice Combat Team, let’s set off immediately~♪"

There was no sense of tension at all, or perhaps it could be said that Elysia was a little excited now.

After all, after this Eruption, she could return to her body.

And with a body~ it’s naturally more convenient. Posture… cough cough, in short, you can do more things!

"......"

Noticing Elysia’s little thoughts, Bai Mo didn’t say anything out loud. After all, she was thinking the same thing.

Revitalize the husband’s authority! Success or failure depends on this one move!

-----

313: The Trends of Parties

At the same time, in the Pacific Ocean, the Coral Island United Autonomous Region.

One hour after the outbreak of the Eruption, the Valkyrie troops of the Schicksal, the Immortal Blades led by Durandal, arrived at the battlefield.

At present, the outer area of the entire Coral Island has been surrounded by the Schicksal.

Thanks to the information given by Bai Mo earlier, Schicksal also actively transferred the population for various reasons in the past few days, saving 1.8 million people in the cities near Coral Island when the Honkai occurred.

It is also because of this that the Fifth Herrscher only turned the entire Coral Island into frozen soil when she was born. The scope of the Eruption was not large, and the Herrscher did not absorb a high amount of Honkai energy.

However, due to the sudden outbreak of the Eruption, more than half of the Valkyries on the island were killed or injured, and it is estimated that over 200 people have perished.

This is how the Honkai works—just like a natural disaster, it can take away everything from people without warning, including life.

"Alvitr, report our current location."

Walking on the frost, Durandal made a strong attack and poked a hole in the Honkai Beast in front of her with the Black Abyss White Flower.

Then, the Power of withering was activated, taking its life in an instant.

They had to be more cautious on this trip to Coral Island. After all, their Archbishop was involved. In the Immortal Blades, Otto was being protected at this time.

"We are currently at the cross-sea bridge on the outer ring of Coral Island, and it will take another 20 minutes to reach the inner city," said Miss Alvitr, the best tool of the Immortal Blade. On the projector on her arm, there was also a detailed structural map of the entire Coral Island. L

Just when Alvitr had reported the location, she received new information. After a quick glance, she immediately said, "Captain, the intelligence from the front line has been transmitted. The newly born Herrscher is named Trina. She was previously an A-level Valkyrie stationed on Coral Island."

"After becoming a Herrscher and freezing Coral Island, she disappeared and is currently missing. However, according to the Honkai energy signal on the island, this Herrscher has shown no signs of activity. It seems she is brewing something, and the Honkai energy in her body is rising."

Yes, usually when the Herrscher descends, the greater the Eruption caused and the greater the damage to human civilization, the stronger the power they gain. The current situation of the Herrscher of Ice is that she is trying to restore her power and authority, which is commonly known as the newborn period.

Durandal and Rita understood this truth. Knowing that time could not be wasted, they immediately planned to order others to protect the Overseer while the two of them would break the formation and reach the location of the Herrscher.

But before the order could be spoken, Otto stood up and said, "I order you as the Overseer. Now, everyone should go to the interior of Coral Island immediately to prevent the further outbreak of the Honkai."

"Then, Overseer..."

A puzzled look flashed across Durandal's face.

Rita's reaction was calm, as though she had already guessed that Otto would say this.

After all, her Overseer had lived in Schicksal for many years, but now he was suddenly going to Coral Island where the Herrscher was born. If Otto had no other plans, Rita would never believe it.

It was amusing. Who would believe what Otto said? He would be laughed at for the rest of his life.

"This is an order, Bianka. Besides, if you calculate the time, Little Theresa and the others should be here soon, so you don't have to worry about me."

With that, Otto used the Void Void to mimic Judgement of Shamash, looking as if he were about to leave.

"......I understand, Overseer."

Helplessly, Durandal nodded.

"Then, I wish you all a safe journey."

He had his own plan. Before the World Serpent arrived, Otto felt that he had to prioritize his granddaughter's safety.

Although it was the Far East Branch, Saint Freya was still part of Schicksal. Theresa was also obliged to come here due to the outbreak of the Fifth Eruption.

"By the way, if you encounter the World Serpent inside Coral Island, remember not to act rashly, just inform me of the news."

Otto's figure gradually moved away, and he waved his hand, his voice coming slowly.

"Yes, Overseer."

Rita bowed gracefully and then led Durandal and the Immortal Blade forward.

A new round of combat plans began, and at the same time, the Hyperion, driven by Theresa, slowly stopped over Coral Island.

Theresa had originally planned to go to Coral Island with only herself and Himeko, but later the two couldn't resist Kiana and the others.

Additionally, Kiana was no longer haunted by nightmares, and her mental state was much better.

So, Theresa agreed to let them come along. Of course, Fu Hua, who had just returned from her mission, was also with them.

It is also worth mentioning that Bronya had been receiving special training from Welt recently. Although she had not inherited the Core of Reason, her overall strength had become much stronger.

Theresa also asked a lot about Bronya's desire to inherit the Core of Reason, but Bronya's answer was always, "Bronya wants to protect everyone."

So, out of understanding and respect, Theresa also spoke to Anti-Entropy about this matter to ensure that Bronya inherited the core in the safest situation. Welt had promised that there would be no accidents during the special training and after Bronya inherited the Core of Reason.

After all, Welt had tested it, and Bronya was indeed the most suitable candidate to inherit the Core of Reason, just as Bai Mo had said at the beginning.

"After you go down, none of you are allowed to run around. Protecting your own safety is the primary purpose! Do you hear me?"

"Understood!" ×4

Theresa's serious voice came from the deck. At this moment, everyone was already fully armed and waiting to take orders after landing.

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

The group then successfully set foot on the land of Coral Island.

"Hiss... This temperature is a bit cold even wearing Valkyrie armor. Speaking of Bronya... Can't you feel it?"

Feeling a chill as soon as she arrived, Kiana kept getting into Mei's arms. At the same time, seeing Bronya's calm demeanor, Kiana couldn't help but speak.

"Idiot Kiana, have you even forgotten where Bronya is from?"

What kind of question is this?

I am a genuine Russian! The dignified Silver Wolf of the Ural Mountains, who used to ambush and fight in the ice and snow all year round, how could I be afraid of this little bit of cold?

------

314: Arrival

The corpses of Honkai beasts littered the ground. Could it be that Grandpa took action?

Walking at the front of the team, Theresa muttered to herself as she observed the obvious signs of fighting around her and the corpses of Honkai beasts

Fifteen minutes had passed since they landed on Coral Island, and Theresa had been leading Kiana and the others forward. Surprisingly, they had not encountered any danger along the way. All they had faced were a few wandering assassins and Honkai beasts, none of which posed a real threat to them.

The truth was just as Theresa guessed: the Honkai beasts had been fought by the Immortal Blades led by Durandal. Now, the Immortal Blades had arrived. The eastern area of Coral Island was the first place where Valkyries lost contact, and it was relatively close to the Herrscher.

There was still a huge distance between them and the Herrscher. After all, Theresa still had to take care of Kiana and the others, and Himeko's body was not suited for high-intensity combat.

As the Herrscher's Power was recovering, the temperature of the entire Coral Island dropped lower and lower, accompanied by a snowstorm. The already frozen Coral Island was hit even harder. Even though everyone was wearing Valkyrie armor, it still felt like a burden.

Crack... crack... crack... the sound of breaking ice echoed through the city. Then, with a dull bang, a section of the ice wall collapsed.

It was Theresa. She was wielding her invincible Judah, clearing obstacles at the front of the team. Without her, they wouldn't be able to move forward.

"The Power of this Herrscher is really exaggerated. If we don't defeat them, the entire Coral Island—no, even the surrounding cities—will be frozen."

Rubbing her hands to try to regain some warmth, Theresa's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Currently, due to the snowstorm, all communication signals on the island had been disrupted. Otherwise, Theresa would have definitely inquired about the current situation of the Herrscher from the Hyperion.

"Let's not talk about that. The snowstorm is getting stronger. I suggest we find a safe place to recover our strength first," Himeko said, her Scarlet Fusion suit deep red. Even with it on, the biting cold was still unbearable.

"Second!"

Kiana, who was standing behind Himeko, was the first to raise her hand in agreement. The weather was colder than when she and her dad were in Siberia. Thinking of this, Kiana couldn't help but shudder. She tightened her arms around Mei and Bronya for warmth.

The three little ones huddled together, which was a very adorable scene.

As for Fu Hua, she did not feel any discomfort. After all, people's physiques are different.

"Okay, there are a few buildings ahead. We can go in to avoid the wind and frost."

There was a hint of fatigue on Theresa's face. She had the same feeling. To prevent the howling cold wind from drowning out her voice, she raised her volume.

"Yeah." ×5

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

In this way, the group continued forward for about ten minutes.

Suddenly, Bronya stopped, and everyone looked at her. In such a severe environment, the Project Bunny acted as a radar, so everyone speculated that Bronya had discovered something.

"What's going on, Bronya?" Himeko asked, her brow slightly furrowed.

"The radar shows traces of Honkai beasts and death warriors ahead, an estimated total of 20."

Snowflakes covered Bronya's gray hair as she displayed the data on the Heavy-Armored Bunny.

This was an unexplored area, so it was normal to see Honkai beasts gathering here.

"In that case, Theresa, you take Kiana and the others to find shelter first. Leave these Honkai beasts and the zombies to me and Fu Hua."

Himeko held her deep red sword, Blood Dance, in her hand. While speaking to Theresa, she glanced at Fu Hua, silently asking if she could still fight.

"No problem. Colonel Himeko and I can handle these Honkai beasts in five minutes," Fu Hua replied, taking out a pair of boxing gloves, her meaning clear.

Theresa hesitated for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "This is the only way. Be careful, and come back as soon as you're done."

She pointed them in the direction where they could rest and meet up.

"Yeah." ×2

The two nodded simultaneously, then walked toward the direction of the Honkai beasts. Kiana and the others had wanted to say something, but seeing that their strength was more than enough to handle these Honkai beasts, they were no longer worried.

With that, Theresa continued to lead Kiana and the others forward.

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

Meanwhile, above Coral Island, a flying vehicle had also landed.

"We're here."

Standing in front of the cabin door, Kevin said calmly. Then, he looked forward, following the Honkai energy in the area, and Kevin instantly locked onto the position of the Herrscher. There was no warmth in his deep blue eyes.

Following Kevin's words, everyone reacted.

"Wow! It's snowing so heavily here! It would be nice if we could have a snowball fight here."

"After all, snowy days are my favorite weather~♪"

Looking through the window at the city outside, which looked like an ice sculpture, the whistling snowstorm seemed to not exist at all in Elysia's eyes. The excitement in her voice and the upward curve of her lips showed she was really looking forward to a snowball fight. After all, this was the girl's heart that had nowhere to go.

"Then let's wait until we defeat the Herrscher."

The next second, Bai Mo's voice came.

"Really? Since Lau said so, I will look forward to it~♪"

"And dear Mobius, dear Eden, let's all join in when the time comes~♪"

"Elysia, we're not here to play."

Here it came again: Mobius, who had been annoyed by Elysia along the way, said impatiently.

------

315: Kevin's Meeting with Durandal

As the hatch opened, everyone jumped off the aircraft and followed the original plan. Bai Mo had initially wanted to take everyone to the location of the Herrscher, but what no one expected was that Eden asked to go out alone.

Of course, no one would refuse, but they were a bit surprised. After all, a city frozen by the Herrscher was like something that would not typically capture Eden's attention.

"Speaking of which, Sister Eden, are you really not coming with us?"

With her hands behind her back, Bai Mo asked curiously.

"Well, it's a rare snow scene. Although it was caused by the Herrscher, I feel like there's something in this city waiting for me to discover."

Eden smiled, then placed her hands on Bai Mo's head to brush the falling snow off of her.

"Well... Okay, anyway, Sister Eden, just be careful. There are more or less Valkyries of Schicksal on this Coral Island."

Although Bai Mo understood Eden's strength, he couldn't help but be concerned about her.

Mobius standing by was so irritated by the heavy snow that she didn’t want to go out!

She thought silently, after all, the feeling of melting snow on her body was still quite uncomfortable.

"Okay then, Eden. You do what you want to do! Leave the Herrscher to us~♪"

Noticing Mobius's mood, Elysia hurriedly fixed Eden's hair, which had been messed up by the wind, then waved her hand and turned to leave.

Eden remained, watching the others walk away, and waved. "Well, make sure to stay safe."

After saying that, Eden turned and disappeared into the wind and snow, summoning the Echoes of Paradise in her hand.

The Central City of Coral Island

On the street, now blanketed in ice and snow, Bai Mo, Elysia, and Kevin had successfully arrived. As for Mobius, she couldn’t stand Elysia’s antics halfway and ran off.

This was where the Herrscher had originated. The concentration of Honkai energy was quite high, and the Honkai beasts and zombies gathered here were numerous.

But all of them were quickly dealt with by Bai Mo's Shamash.

Don’t ask—it's just to save time and effort. It’s not overkill!

After all, the temperature on Coral Island was already dangerously low, and Kevin was standing right next to him. Let alone how cold it was.

Why not use Shamash to warm up a bit? What else is there to wait for!

"The Herrscher has woken up."

"The Herrscher has started to move."

Just as they were about to move forward after dealing with the Honkai beasts, the two individuals who had a premonition both spoke in unison.

Bai Mo judged this based on the common connection between the Herrschers, while Kevin, being more direct, captured the unique Honkai energy fluctuations of the Herrscher from the air.

"Hmm! Is this the legendary beautiful girl radar? I didn’t expect Kevin to have it too~♪"

Elysia playfully covered her mouth in mock surprise.

The description was certainly fitting.

"Pfft, beautiful girl radar!"

Seeing this, Bai Mo couldn’t help but laugh. Along the way, Elysia had teased Kevin quite a bit, and he had responded by silencing her.

"......"

Kevin didn't dare say anything, but silently distanced himself from Elysia. He jumped onto the nearby tall building in one swift movement. It seemed like he was going ahead.

Kevin felt like he was just a light bulb here, the kind of person who’d get shot from time to time.

"Look, Ellie, you’ve finally scared away Kevin, the sunny and cheerful boy." Bai Mo grinned from the side.

"Okay, stop it. Lau, you know Kevin is like this."

Bai Mo exhaled a breath of hot air and rubbed her face. She wasn’t sure if Elysia was taking advantage of her, but Miss Pink Elf didn’t seem eager to continue this conversation.

At this point, especially with no one around, Elysia would usually start making advances.

Look! The way she rubbed her face was a signal!

Good grief! They were about to face the Herrscher, yet she didn’t forget to cling to her!

Realizing this, Bai Mo didn’t dare linger any longer. Sbe figured that Miss Pink Elf was just excited about the heavy snow today.

Now, it was time to get serious! They had to catch up with Kevin! Defeat the Herrscher, and after that, they could do whatever they wanted!

With this in mind, Bai Mo immediately opened an Imaginary Portal and stepped through.

"Hey! Lau, you!"

Seeing Bai Mo’s reaction, Elysia realized she had been misunderstood. The pink elf felt wronged and almost cried! She really would cry!

If Kevin had gone ahead, nothing would have gone wrong. She just wanted to step on the snow with Lau before they went!

Could it be that she had gotten too close to her, and it backfired?

After thinking about it, she realized that might be the case. The pink elf stopped speaking and returned to the consciousness space.

At least Lau wouldn’t blame her. If she had been misunderstood, then so be it.

Now, the most important thing was to defeat the Herrscher!

Meanwhile, Bai Mo stepped out of the Imaginary Portal.

She was surprised that Elysia didn’t complain about her lack of understanding when it came to romance. Logically, that should have been the case, right? Could it be that she really misunderstood something?

After thinking about it, Bai Mo couldn't come up with a reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She quickly ran a few steps forward and finally caught up with Kevin.

However, compared to Kevin, the appearance of several people ahead of her surprised her more.

"If you ask me, can you not look at me like that..."

You won’t stand a chance if we really fight!!!

It was the Immortal Blades led by Durandal and Rita. It seemed they were there to clean up the Honkai beasts, but Kevin had bumped into them. Both sides were prepared for a fight.

And now, with Bai Mo’s arrival, it was like adding fuel to the fire. Coupled with the earlier wanted orders, it seemed like the situation was becoming tense.

"Hey, Kevin, as an ancestor, you really should take care of your descendants."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were still on her, Bai Mo poked Kevin’s shoulder half-jokingly.

"Leave this to me. The Herrscher is just ahead. Go ahead."

------

316: Himeko: Fu Hua? Is this your friend?

As soon as Kevin said this, the temperature around him dropped several degrees again.

The pitch-black ice surged out from the ground, ready to strike.

For a moment, everyone in the Immortal Blades, including Durandal and Rita, also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

What Herrscher is weak in front of this man! If they fight, they will definitely die!

This is the answer in everyone's mind.

"Okay, there's no need to be so tense. Let me introduce you to Kevin Kaslana, the Lord of our World Serpent. This time we are here to resolve the issue of the Herrscher of Ice, which is tied to your Schicksal~"

"And doesn't Otto also want to discuss cooperation with our World Serpent? I guess he should have told you not to conflict with us."

Seeing that there was a sign of a fight on the field, Bai Mo hurriedly stood up to make peace and ease the tense atmosphere.

Of course, Bai Mo was not worried that Kevin would kill them. After all, the warriors who fought against Honkai were not the enemies of the World Serpent from the beginning. At most, Kevin would only make them suffer.

"Hello, Your Excellency, the Lord of the World Serpent."

If they fought, they would definitely lose or even die. At the same time, coupled with Otto's previous instructions, Rita went down the stairs.

However, compared to these thoughts, Rita was more interested in Kevin's surname, Kaslana. Combined with what the other party had said just now, this must be the ancestor of the Kaslana family.

What is this? Meeting the parents in advance...

Thinking of this, the formulaic smile on the maid's face.

The cold face of Kevin which had not changed for thousands of years became a little subtle at this moment.

After all, as one of the few people who knew the true identity of Durandal, Rita also knew that she should perform better at this time.

However, compared to Rita, Durandal didn't seem to think so much. What Kaslana? There is no one from the Kaslana family in our Immortal Blades!

The blue and white gradient Valkyrie armor highlighted the graceful figure of the girl. Holding the Black Abyss White Flower, Durandal's momentum never faltered, even when facing Kevin.

On the contrary, Kevin also noticed Durandal at this time. After all, even if the identity of the girl in front of him was not mentioned, just the presence of the Black Abyss White Flower was enough to make him pay a little attention.

Fortunately, Durandal's strength was not bad, and she was worthy of the Black Abyss White Flower. Otherwise, Kevin would have to consider whether to take it back.

Then there was the intimacy from blood. Although faint, the girl's hair color had changed from silver-white to something else for some reason, but the representative blue eyes, and... her personality, all proved that the girl in front of him was a Kaslana.

He should be concerned. Kevin was somewhat relieved to see that there was still such a warrior in the Kaslana family in the current civilization.

"......"

Durandal was very puzzled. Why did the Lord of the World Serpent look at her more and more strangely?

Like? Caring for the younger generation? Kaslana was actually me? No... It's unlikely... And why was Rita's look a little subtle?

So what was this sense of seeing an elder?!!

Bai Mo on the side saw all of this.

Not bad. At least Kevin had become more humane after getting rid of Project Stigma.

"Forget it. It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. After all, harmony brings wealth. Fighting and killing are not good."

It's just a pity that he didn't get to see a drama of recognizing ancestors (fun). With a look of pity on her face, Bai Mo shrugged and prepared to leave.

She could feel that the Power of the Herrscher was increasing. Although she was not that strong, it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.

After all, once the core of the Herrscher of Ice was obtained, Ellie could come out of her body, and she could also have a good negotiation with Otto.

Let's make a quick decision! Go! Miss Herrscher of Ice~

"Okay, you guys talk first, I'll go and deal with the Herrscher of Ice."

"Yes."

Putting her hands together, Bai Mo made a prayer gesture, and then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, she turned around and jumped into the imaginary door that had been opened long ago, heading straight for the Herrscher!

Ka... Ka... Ka... Ka...

Then, at the moment when Bai Mo left, Kevin also raised his hand to condense the power of frost.

The black ice rose from the ground and turned into a dark dome, completely covering the battlefield. The members of the Immortal Blades were also frightened by Kevin's move.

The frozen area was nearly half of the city!

You are the actual Herrscher of Ice, right? Is the ancestor of the Kaslana family so perverted?

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

At the same time, on the other side...

"Who is there! Come out!"

Just after dealing with the Honkai Beast, on the way back, Himeko always felt that someone was following her, so she asked tentatively.

The person following behind her could not be the Valkyrie of Schicksal, otherwise, she would have come out long ago. After all, she was still wearing Valkyrie armor, which was a symbol of Schicksal.

As a Valkyrie, how could she not know this?

Fu Hua standing by, she had noticed the abnormality behind her a long time ago. She was always highly focused, waiting for the person following her to reveal a flaw.

Creak... Creak...

Sure enough, just as Himeko finished speaking, a certain sound came from behind the two of them.

It was the sound of feet stepping on the new snow.

It seems they are not going to hide anymore...

After realizing this, the two turned around and readied their weapons.

In the white snow, a red figure slowly walked out.

Even in the cold wind and in such a tense situation, Eden always maintained a calm look.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to follow you. I just saw a familiar figure by chance and thought it was a friend, so I wanted to come forward to confirm it."

Eden's tone was very sincere, without any hostility at all. The Echoes of Paradise in her hand was also put away by her at this moment.

Until then, Himeko and Fu Hua really saw Eden's appearance.

In this icy and snowy land, she still looked like a rising star, with long wine-red hair, orange-yellow eyes, clothes like works of art, and a perfect voice.

Every move was elegant. Himeko had only seen such person in those opera houses.

Artist? This was Himeko's first impression of Eden, but if it had been a different scene, she might have believed it.

And now, in this Coral island where the Herrscher was born, such a person suddenly appeared, and she also told them that she was just looking for a friend... How could Himeko dare to believe it?

"Fu Hua? Your friend?"

But there was no doubt that Eden's very friendly attitude also made Himeko relax her vigilance a little, though she didn't know this person. So, in comparison, it could only be Fu Hua's problem.

317: Mobius: This unlucky child, why did she lose her memories again?

After forcibly activating Fenghuang Down, the memory was burned. Let alone asking whether she recognizes the person in front of her, even if she tries to recall it now, she can't remember.

However, in the dark, Fu Hua could still feel a faint familiarity with the girl who suddenly appeared in front of her.

Perhaps she and the other party were really friends before...

Fu Hua silently lowered her head, feeling guilty for her "selfish" behavior.

"Sorry..."

With furrowed brows, Fu Hua pursed her lips and said these two words.

On the other hand, Eden also noticed Fu Hua's difficulties at this time and immediately shook her head, smiling to show that she didn’t mind.

Since there was a memory loss, it could only be a side effect of forcibly activating Fenghuang Down.

It seems that this old friend of mine has also experienced a lot in these 50,000 years.

Eden saw the hidden injuries on Fu Hua, and her previously calm eyes inevitably showed a hint of heartache.

"Fu Hua... Is this your name now? It seems that after all this time, you have changed a lot."

Perhaps Eden could ask Mobius to treat Fu Hua’s injuries, maybe even restore her memory. With this thought in mind, Eden slowly walked over to the two of them.

Himeko did not stop them. After all, she could see that the two people in front of her definitely knew each other, even if there was a small issue at the moment.

"Sorry, for various reasons earlier, my memory may be a little missing."

"It doesn't matter. If you want to get those memories back, everyone will definitely be happy to help you. By the way, let me introduce myself again. My name is Eden."

It was hard to connect the girl in front of him with the Hua from the Elysian Realm, but Eden could still see that Fu Hua's current life was much better than Hua’s.

Although it would be very confusing to lose one’s memory, at least it could be considered as getting rid of those painful memories, right? It might be a good thing to welcome a new life with a brand-new look.

"Eden..."

When Fu Hua heard this name, many scattered memories flashed through her mind. Her intuition told her that these forgotten memories were the most precious things she had.

But unfortunately, she couldn’t even grasp those memories now.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's talk while walking."

At this time, Himeko suddenly suggested that it was not a good idea to stand around idly. If they didn’t return soon, Theresa would be worried. Himeko would also need to ask about Eden's origins.

And now, she only knew that Fu Hua had lost her memory. She was shocked, but more distressed.

As a teacher, she could do nothing to help. She could only hope that this girl named Eden could bring some help to Fu Hua.

The two nodded after hearing this, especially Eden, who was happy to talk with her old friend.

On the way, to leave enough space for the two of them, Himeko followed behind. However, during this time, Eden didn’t deliberately mention the events of the previous era. She simply told Fu Hua her previous name and mentioned that many friends like her were behind her.

Fu Hua felt very real after hearing this. At least in her subconscious, she was touched and felt what Eden said.

Just as she wanted to continue asking, Eden shook her head and spoke.

"That memory may be very painful. If you want to know, I can tell you at any time, but for now, I think you may need to think about it carefully."

When she heard this, Fu Hua fell into a brief silence, then nodded.

However, no matter what, she would eventually recover her lost memories. Now might not be the right time, so she decided to wait until after returning from Coral Island.

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

After a while, the three of them followed the mark left by Theresa and arrived at the resting point.

It was a very ordinary small flat. The living room was empty and appeared to have been cleaned. A newly lit bonfire sat in the middle, with everyone gathered around it to warm their almost frozen bodies.

But apart from this, Himeko glanced around and saw two unfamiliar figures in an inconspicuous corner.

The one with long green hair... Is she a little girl? And the blond man with disheveled hair, who was obviously beaten... he looked a little familiar, but Himeko couldn’t remember who he was.

And is this man really okay with two arms missing? Doesn’t he need to go for treatment?

Confused, she wondered why these two people were in this place. Himeko looked at Theresa in confusion, "Who are these two?"

"Um... my grandfather..."

Theresa's face was complicated, and she almost gritted her teeth to say these words.

As for the other one, the key was that she didn’t know her. Her grandfather had been almost beaten by the other party, and he stopped after a long negotiation.

When had the Archbishop of Schicksal been so embarrassed? Even Theresa, this was the first time she had seen it, and judging by her grandfather’s expression, he seemed indifferent.

And the little girl with green hair was really powerful. Even when she used Judah, she and Kiana, along with the others, couldn’t defeat her.

After hearing Theresa’s words, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya all turned their heads away.

Shame! Four against one, and they still couldn’t win.

"Your grandfather! Oh no, you mean he is the Archbishop of Schicksal?"

"Yeah."

After saying that, Himeko also noticed Otto smiling at her.

It was really funny, and Himeko immediately lowered her head, afraid to look up because she was really afraid she couldn’t help but laugh.

After all, if Theresa hadn’t said it, Himeko would have thought it was a homeless person.

Disheveled.

But since this was the Archbishop of Schicksal, then who was the other little girl?

Don’t look at me! I don’t know either!

Seeing Himeko’s eyes sweeping over, Kiana and others shook their heads, as the other party had hardly spoken since their arrival.

So, everyone looked back at the corner, hoping the other party would give an answer.

As a result, the other party ignored them, but looked at Himeko... More precisely, at Eden and Fu Hua beside Himeko.

"Eden? Why are you here? And... that’s Hua, right?"

As soon as Mobius said this, she attracted everyone’s attention.

Especially Himeko and Fu Hua, who were even more confused.

So these two people know each other!

So this person is also an old friend?

This is shocking!

"Yes, Mobius, she is Hua, but now she should be called Fu Hua."

Eden smiled, and as for why Mobius appeared here, she knew when she saw the Archbishop of Schicksal. He was caught by Mobius and then vented her anger for Lau.

After all, this was one of the reasons Mobius came here.

"Fu Hua? Oh, did you delete your memory again?"

"Also, you seem to have forgotten us this time~ That’s too much."

-------

318: Pseudo Taixuan Eminence

"Hi! Miss Herrscher of Ice, have you ever thought about changing jobs~♪"

With a flower-like smile on her face, Bai Mo emerged from the imaginary space, mimicking the movements and tone of a certain pink elf, and went straight to the point, greeting the new Herrscher.

"......"

The Herrscher of Ice was stunned for a moment. Even she was confused by her own words in such a situation, but soon, she learned Bai Mo's identity from a certain will.

A Herrscher not under God's jurisdiction was undoubtedly the same as those traitors.

In an instant, a bit of anger appeared on the Herrscher of Ice's face, completely opposite to the joy she had just felt from seeing another of her kind.

"You, the traitor who betrayed God! Let me wash away your sins with frost!"

The breath of the same kind? No, that was just a thief who had stolen power from God!

The Herrscher of Ice was furious about Bai Mo's appearance. At this moment, she would execute judgment for God, sealing the sinner in ice and frost and letting the cold winter take away the life called warmth.

After more than two hours of recovery, she could now perfectly use her power, and the Honkai energy in her body had reached a new peak.

God had given her new attire. At this moment, the Herrscher of Ice was like the lord of a royal court, controlling ice and frost. A crown materialized on her head, and she raised her jade hand high.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

In an instant, the snowflakes in the sky obeyed her command, turning into sharp blades that swept toward Bai Mo.

As if she still felt that this was not enough, the Herrscher of Ice immediately condensed an ice pillar more than 50 meters long, which fell from above Bai Mo's head.

The azure ice crystals looked extremely sacred under the light.

They even had a built-in flashing effect.

"What a pity, if that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."

Seeing the actions clearly, Bai Mo said, a wronged expression on her face. She then neither dodged nor evaded, but instead opened an oversized imaginary portal above her head, connecting the other end behind the Herrscher of Ice.

Boom! ! !

It could be called a sneak attack, but in short, Miss Herrscher of Ice finally suffered the consequences, getting hit by her own attack and sent flying backward.

As for the ice blades that swept across the sky, Bai Mo calmly snapped her fingers, instantly activating the Power of the wind.

The flow direction of the surrounding air changed, and those blades turned around, attacking the Herrscher of Ice.

The Power to control the ideal fluid!

Return it all!

Ding... Ding Ding Ding! ! !

The ice blades pierced the ice surface. Seeing this, the Herrscher of Ice had no time to dodge. She had to use her Power to disperse the ice blades before she was injured.

A mere thief!

At this moment, the Herrscher of Ice felt immense humiliation.

She had been tricked by such a traitor! This was something she could not tolerate!

The mission given to her by God had not been completed, and her great cause of destroying humanity had not yet succeeded. She absolutely could not fall in such a place!

As long as she killed this traitor! As long as she killed her, she could pray to God and ask for even more Powerful Power!

Then the whole world and all human beings would be trampled under her feet!

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in the Herrscher of Ice's eyes.

This expansion of Power and sense of mission made her believe she was the strongest, and for a moment, she didn't notice the gap between her and Bai Mo.

"Go to hell!"

With the help of the blizzard to hide her figure, she quickly closed in on Bai Mo.

Bang! ! !

The long sword condensed from ice collided with the Seven Thunders of Retribution in Bai Mo's hand.

The Power was good—this was Bai Mo's assessment.

In the battle between the two, Bai Mo was naturally superior in pure skill. After all, no matter what, the Herrscher was just an A-rank Valkyrie before, and her upper limit was still there.

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

After several rounds of fighting, the Herrscher of Ice began to struggle.

The surging thunder raged, turning into high temperatures to dispel the severe cold.

"Sky Slash! Crescent Moon!"

While the Seven Thunders of Retribution resisted the Herrscher of Ice's attack, Bai Mo raised his hand and pointed her sword, sending a crescent moon sword energy slicing through the air.

Why not learn a thing or two from a good mage? Why must you imitate a warrior for close combat?

A shield formed from frost blocked in front. The Herrscher of Ice tried to defend, but Bai Mo was quicker. She raised her hand and summoned a ball of death energy, which she attached to the wind blade and shot it out.

Crunch... Crunch...

"Uh... ah."

The shield broke, and the Herrscher of Ice was sent flying backward.

Even if a new Herrscher has mastered her own Power, how strong can she be?

Or, you can be as strong as you want, but the sky will fire.

However, just as Bai Mo was thinking this, the Herrscher of Ice lying on the ice slowly stood up, still muttering something.

Without needing to activate her power, all the frost around gathered towards the ground.

"I will lead the rebirth of the world! Use frost to cleanse it all!"

The Honkai energy on her body increased rapidly, and the crown on the Herrscher of Ice's head kept flashing.

Is she anxious? Has mercury appeared? Can't help but use the ultimate move? Still chanting? Do you really think I don't exist?

Seeing this, Bai Mo didn't indulge her bad habits and immediately used the Seven Thunders of Retribution to activate the thunder, bringing down divine punishment!

Of course, this attack alone wouldn't stop the Herrscher of Ice from finishing her chant, so Bai Mo decided to add something more explosive!

"God is the ultimate change, and he can speak of all things. He cannot be questioned by form..." (pfft)

The Power of Sentience is naturally real, and the shape of Taixuan Eminence was created by Bai Mo herself, with realism as the primary feature.

Although it was still far from the original effect, it was enough to disconnect the network!

After all, she should have been playing with the Power of Sentience for so long! Moreover, she had truly learned the Edge of Taixuan, so making the Edge of Taixuan was easy!

Boom!

Thunder and the Edge of Taixuan descended, and Bai Mo's voice continued.

"It has no form and does not need a form. This sword fills the space. This sword is the space. Therefore, it is everywhere and has no disadvantages."

At the same time, the Power of Sentience also acted on the Herrscher of Ice. "Herrscher, this sword is unstoppable."

Bai Mo stood in the sky, looking at the Herrscher of Ice with a calm expression.

"No! You damn traitor!!!"

The consciousness was separated from her body, and the Herrscher of Ice behind her didn't know what she had experienced.

-----

Chapter 319: A Woman Surnamed Fu Was Exposed.

Danger! Her own body was constantly sending this signal to Fu Hua!

The little girl in front of her was called Mobius, and she was definitely not as harmless as she seemed.

The instinct of her body drove her, and she unconsciously took a few steps back.

Fu Hua's action was naturally seen by Mobius, and the expression on his face instantly became playful.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes, like snake pupils, stared at Fu Hua, just like a snake seeing its prey.

"It's really interesting, and compared to you in the Elysian Realm, your facial expressions are much richer now."

Mobius looked at every part of Fu Hua's body carefully, as if she were an experimental subject that she had long coveted.

What kind of change could make a person change so much? Just losing memory was not enough.

Otto far away did not dare to say much after hearing what Mobius said. After all, he had given up everything about K-423. As long as he cooperated with the World Serpent, he could carry out his new plan.

So, he was not afraid that Fu Hua would give up after regaining her past memories. Besides these external factors, as a friend, he was also very happy that his old friend could recall her past.

"Elysian Realm?"

The moment she heard this word, some fragmented memories flashed through her mind again, but she was struggling to capture them all, which made Fu Hua a little irritated.

The others who did not know, such as Theresa, Himeko, and Kiana, were also confused and did not dare to interrupt.

"That's right, it's the Elysian Realm. If you want, you only need to go to the World Serpent and visit the Elysian Realm, and your memory can be restored."

If you use the Power of the Herrscher of Sentience of the little white mouse again.

Mobius silently added in her heart

Of course, if it’s simpler, she could even directly copy a version of Hua’s memory in the Elysian Realm and then put it into Fu Hua’s mind.

"......"

To be honest, Fu Hua was a little moved now, and she could also feel that neither this person named Mobius nor Eden in front of her had any hostility towards her.

But if she had to go to the World Serpent for this matter, then she had to think carefully. After all, trust could be there, but it could not be given completely. At least in her eyes, the World Serpent was a very dangerous organization. She had secretly heard about the so-called Project Stigma from Theresa. This was an extremely anti-human plan that must not be allowed to come out.

After thinking again and again, Fu Hua finally decided to reject this proposal. As a result, before she could speak, Mobius spoke again.

The information Mobius revealed this time simply rubbed the three views of most people present on the ground.

"Well... let me see, there are more than a dozen hidden injuries on the body, and there was a fatal injury in the brain. The activity of the ICHOR in the body is not as good as before..."

Mobius paused while talking, and the expression on her face changed from relaxation to solemnity.

As a MANTIS of the previous era! As an existence who once faced the Herrscher of the End, can you be so seriously injured in the current civilization? And judging from this injury, it must have been three or four thousand years ago. Was the Honkai so strong at that time?

Mobius looked at her with a look of "are you kidding me?"

After all, she knew that the ICHOR factor in Fu Hua’s body first acted on the brain, so if her brain was seriously injured, the consequences could be imagined.

The content of Project Ember is also very safe!

This also includes Eden. She knew the hidden injuries on Fu Hua's body, but she didn't expect that her old friend had suffered a fatal injury in her brain.

As for Otto, Mobius' words reminded him of the scene when he saw the immortal on the mountain peak.

Of course, these three people were still good.

After all, in comparison, Theresa and the others' brains were almost fried.

Especially Kiana, the way she looked at Fu Hua was like looking at that Superman.

Fatal injury!!! This is a fatal injury to the brain!!!

Several people looked at each other and were shocked for a while. After all, when they looked at Fu Hua's expression again, the look of confusion but no objection proved that this matter was not false, but true.

Just when everyone was shocked by this matter, Mobius started to dig up Fu Hua's past again.

Of course, to be more precise, she was giving her a higher value.

"So Hua, what have you been through in the past fifty thousand years?"

If what Mobius said before would only make everyone feel incredible and shocked, then what she said now was more like a heavy bomb, which directly hit everyone present, except Otto and Eden.

Mei asked if she was dreaming.

Kiana said her head was itchy, as if she was going to grow a brain.

Bronya’s brain crashed and the system was unresponsive.

Theresa was stunned, and Himeko was not much better.

Fifty thousand years? !

Let's not talk about whether this sentence is a joke or not. After all, who can live for more than fifty thousand years!

You know, it's a miracle for a normal human to live more than a hundred years old, and many Valkyries implanted with stigmata can't even live to thirty years old.

And now someone tells you that someone has lived for more than fifty thousand years, and this person is your classmate and student who spends every day with you. Can you accept it?

Theresa didn't dare to believe it. After all, even if she were a man-made person and had the Honkai Beast factor in her body, she couldn't guarantee that she could live for a long time.

However, since this little girl named Mobius could say this, could she also be an old person who had lived for more than 50,000 years?

And she just mentioned the World Serpent, so it seems that the Lord of the World Serpent, Kevin Kaslana, is also an old monster who has lived for more than 50,000 years.

So, if that's the case! Fu Hua is actually from the same era as the one named Mobius and Eden! ! !

It's just that Fu Hua has lost her memory now, so she can't remember it!

The brain that only knew to drink bitter melon juice and read comics all day finally played a role at this moment. Theresa was extremely shocked by the truth she guessed.

When did her own Saint Freya Academy become so talented? Not to mention the Herrschers, there are even warriors from the last civilization era? !

------

Chapter 320: Mobius: Don't Mention the Project Stigma in Front of Me!

"Fifty thousand years?"

To be honest, Fu Hua was very confused after hearing this news.

Although part of her memory was burned, she knew that she had lived in the world for a long time, probably hundreds of years. But fifty thousand years? She herself was a little skeptical.

In addition, just when Mobius said this, Eden on the side hurriedly stopped her. After all, if she continued to talk about it, it would only bring up bad memories.

"Forget it. Anyway, you can't remember anything now. If there's anything, we'll wait until you're ready to regain your memory." Mobius shrugged, revealing a helpless expression.

Dramatically, a woman named Fu had been stripped of her biggest secret.

An old... girl who had lived for about fifty-four thousand years!

Could anyone endure being stabbed with that truth for more than fifty thousand years?!

For a moment, Fu Hua noticed that the eyes of the people around her had changed.

"Ahem... Why don't we put this matter aside for now? How about we talk about something else first?"

Such an awkward atmosphere always needs someone to break it. At this moment, Overseer Otto took the initiative to shoulder the burden.

As Otto's voice fell, the eyes of the others shifted from Fu Hua to him.

Yes, apart from Fu Hua's matters, why had the Archbishop of Schicksal—the boss of her own St. Freya Academy—appeared here? This was like a very important question.

"Yes, Grandpa, you haven't said why you're here. And you came in that way..."

Referring to being chased by Mobius, then beaten up and having both arms broken.

Fu Hua's matters couldn't be explained right away, but she had to figure out the reason for her grandfather's appearance here.

After all, her grandfather was a very dangerous person from any angle. One Herrscher on Coral Island was definitely not enough to attract him, even if it was just a body made of soulium. So, he must have other plans!

Otto, whose once-messy golden long hair had now been straightened, used soulium to forcibly create two hands at the cost of his own height and quality.

Faced with Theresa's question, he smiled first, then extended two fingers.

"On the one hand, it's to see you, little Theresa, and ensure your safety. And on the other hand..."

Otto deliberately paused and looked at Mobius.

Everyone didn’t understand what Otto meant, but they followed him and focused their attention on Mobius.

"Want to cooperate with the World Serpent? You'd better ask Kevin directly about this matter."

Mobius naturally knew what Otto was planning, so she spoke with a very disdainful tone.

"No! Grandpa, you must not cooperate with the World Serpent!"

Theresa, who was standing by, became anxious when she heard that her grandfather wanted to cooperate with the World Serpent.

The eyes of Himeko and the others also changed on the spot. In a sense, the awkward atmosphere earlier disappeared, replaced by a more tense one.

You know what kind of organization the World Serpent is! An anti-human organization! If you get involved with them, you'll be eaten alive, let alone cooperate.

"Little Theresa, stop making trouble. Grandpa is talking about serious matters."

Otto held his forehead. After all, she was his granddaughter, and he couldn't bear to scold her, so he could only comfort her softly.

"Oh~ Why?"

At this time, Mobius, who was standing by, became interested. She was very curious why the little one in front of her hated the World Serpent so much.

Eden also looked over curiously. Could it be because of Lau's previous wanted order?

But soon, Theresa gave her answer.

"Because of the Project Stigma!" Theresa said firmly.

"Project Stigma?" ×2

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar term, Eden and Mobius looked at each other. If the other party had known about the Project Stigma before, it was indeed possible that they would be hostile to the World Serpent. After all, the Project Stigma is, in a sense, a plan that pushes all humans to a dead end.

"Heh~ You're talking about that? I reorganized it for fifteen versions, fifteen versions!"

Mobius was angry when she mentioned this inexplicable resentment and couldn't help but roll her eyes. If Mei hadn't always revised the definition of [Victory over Honkai], she wouldn't have wasted so much time on this difficult plan.

As a result, this so-called plan with the highest success rate wasn't successfully executed by her little follower until the end.

"You made Project Stigma?!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone's face instantly became ugly.

"Who said that? That was never my plan, but Mei's."

As she said that, Mobius glanced at Mei, who was standing by the bonfire.

The latter felt a chill on her back when Mobius stared at her and lowered her head unconsciously.

"What are you doing!"

Seeing this, Kiana protected Mei behind her.

Mobius didn't care, giving them a glance.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the field became tense again, and Otto was even more tearful. How could this come up again?

He didn’t care about Project Stigma; he just wanted to cooperate! He wanted to cooperate and get the "beacon" of the Second Divine Key!!!

Fortunately, Eden stood up at this time, looked at Mobius and the others, and said softly, "Okay, Mobius, you don't have to scare them. After all, the Project Stigma has been cut off now, right?"

Yes, Kevin will no longer carry out the Project Stigma anyway, so it’s better to resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible.

Mobius snorted coldly when she saw this and didn't want to speak.

But on the contrary, Himeko and others did not understand the meaning of Eden's words for a while.

Or it could be said that this reversal was too big, and their brains couldn't keep up.

"Cut off? What does it mean?" Himeko asked, confused.

"As the name suggests, the Project Stigma will no longer be carried out."

At this time, Otto, who had been silent, whispered a reminder.

He wanted to end this topic quickly and talk about his cooperation with the World Serpent.

"That's right. The Project Stigma was canceled long before."

Eden's words were like the hammer of a judge in court, finalizing the matter and proving its correctness.

-------

Chapter 321: The Ice Ruler Core is in Hand

"But this is just your one-sided statement, isn't it?"

Theresa still doesn't quite believe what Eden said about the Project Stigma being canceled.

After all, Kevin clearly came out of the Quantum Sea to execute the Project Stigma, but now you're telling me the project was canceled long ago?

Could it be that Kevin has waited for thousands of years in vain? Who would believe that?

"One-sided statement? If you want evidence, the current state of the World Serpent is the best proof."

"The world is still the same as it was, and humans have not suffered from the Project Stigma. After all, these things can be verified with a quick check." Eden's tone was calm, and he smiled slightly while sitting on the sofa.

"This..."

After Eden's words, Theresa was speechless for a moment. Indeed, since Kevin came out of the Quantum Sea, so much time has passed, and it seems that there hasn't been any major chaos in the world.

Did the Project Stigma really get canceled? Has the crisis of humans being forced to arrange their fate been resolved?

Goodness, this might be the best news she's heard recently.

"What is the purpose of your World Serpent coming this time?"

Himeko, who was standing by, paused after hearing this and then asked the second question.

"Of course, we came to deal with the Herrscher of Ice. If we calculate the time, the battle over there should be over now."

As he said this, Eden looked toward the battlefield not far away.

The blizzard that was gradually calming down outside was the best proof of this.

At the same time, Eden's words were not refuted by anyone. After all, as a warrior of the former civilization against the Honkai, Theresa and the others would never question their stance on [suppressing the Honkai].

In the final analysis, Theresa and the others were only wary of and disgusted with the Project Stigma. So apart from these external factors, these pioneers of the former civilization deserved everyone's respect, and everyone agreed on this point.

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

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In the frozen sea of flowers, the Honkai energy stirred into a frenzied vortex, with lightning and frost mixing as the sky of withered death swept over, consuming everything in its path.

Several massive energies collided, burned, and collapsed into a violent catastrophe in this narrow space, sweeping everything within.

This is the battle between the Herrschers, a deathly victory that transcends the laws and common sense.

Furthermore, with a pseudo-Edge of Taixuan present, the battle of the Herrscher of Ice was not as intense as before. The new round of battle was almost entirely led by Bai Mo.

"What? You won’t leave? If you don't, we’ll break the network with another Eminence! If that doesn't work, let's get up close and personal with Shamash!"

And with the Power of the Ideal fluid, once exerted to the extreme, all the attacks from the Herrscher of Ice seemed like a joke to Bai Mo.

The ideal fluid envelops her without any friction, and the frost condensed by the Honkai energy couldn't even inflict a scratch on her.

This is the most authentic way to wield the Power of Wind, not the childish moves of releasing wind blades and tornadoes.

Since Bai Mo arrived, the balance of victory began to shift in just a few dozen minutes of fighting.

The fruit of victory was hanging on the branches, easily within her grasp with just a slight raise of her hand.

On the other hand, the Herrscher of Ice, who was once high and mighty, now lay in a very embarrassed state, 20 meters underground, gasping for breath.

A gully, hundreds of meters long, dragged across the snow like a black line drawn on white paper, connecting to the giant pit. The frost around it had been burned away, making a sizzling sound.

The Herrscher's luxurious, unique clothes had been eroded by the death aura and were now in tatters. Her delicate skin was exposed, stained by the mud.

The flying snow in the air never danced for more than one person.

Slowly descending from the sky, Bai Mo stood on the ice, holding the fully released Shamash, her eyes cast downward.

"It's over, Herrscher."

"......"

She was so weak she couldn't speak a word. Lying in the pit, the Herrscher of Ice looked ashen, her eyes empty as she stared at the sky.

Yes, it's over. She had just obtained this Power—the Power that could make humans pay the price.

But now, she had lost so badly she couldn't even fight back. Even if she did, it wouldn't have been enough to cause the opponent any harm.

At the same time, she was abandoned by God. The fragile connection between her and God was completely severed by that sword.

She couldn't ask God for new Power, nor could she seek God's help.

The dark dome above her seemed like a cage, sealing her tightly here. The Judgement of Shamash, representing God's punishment, burned her to the end of her life.

The Valkyrie named Trina had died when the Herrscher persona was born, and now, the Herrscher born within her was about to die.

Her lower body had already turned into starlight. The Herrscher girl raised her arm with her last bit of strength, trying to touch the sky, but in the end, she fell down Powerlessly.

In the deep pit, only a sharp-edged dark blue gem remained—the Herrscher of Ice's core.

With a thought, the emerald green fluid wrapped around it and flew toward Bai Mo, who then held it in her hand.

Afterward, Bai Mo stood there for two minutes... The purpose was not to commemorate the Herrscher's death.

She just wanted to see if her own system had returned from playing.

The result was obvious. The dog system did not disappoint her after all, not even making a sound.

Forget it. No reward, but absorbing the Power of an Herrscher of Ice after returning to the World Serpent is still a good thing.

As for when to let Ellie out of her body, that would be at night, in bed!

The horn of counterattack! It's coming soon!

Rubbing her hands in anticipation, Bai Mo turned and entered the Imaginary Portal.

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

"Are you guys... eating noodles?!"

Walking out of the Imaginary portal, Bai Mo couldn't believe the scene in front of her...

The Thirteen MANTIS of the Flamechasers Eating Noodles (×)

The Immortal Blades Eating Noodles (✓)

"Want to eat?"

This was Kevin.

------

Chapter 322: Bai Mo's Plan

? ? ?

Is this appropriate? Is this really appropriate?!

I fought back and forth with the Herrscher on the battlefield, and you guys are here for team building? Eating noodles?

Kevin, you have changed!!!

We can't teach this bad habit to our younger generations. As an ancestor, do you know what modesty is? Modesty!

Sure enough, a silly goose is a silly goose. Two Kaslanas put together, their brains are almost shared.

As for why Rita didn't stop it, it was probably because of Kevin's identity, so she didn't dare to dissuade him.

Well, this abacus sound almost broke my face. What is this called—building a good relationship with the elders in advance, right?

"Forget it, I won't eat it."

Waving her hand to refuse the instant noodles handed over by Kevin, Bai Mo said helplessly.

"Herrscher of Ice..."

After drinking the last bit of soup in the instant noodle bucket, Durandal noticed Bai Mo, who had just returned, and asked curiously.

If she came out so quickly, could it be that the Herrscher of Ice had been solved? After all, it had only been less than half an hour—at most ten minutes.

Just as this question came into her mind, Durandal recalled the Power Bai Mo had shown when they fought together before, and she quickly accepted it.

How should she put it? This trip to Coral Island was unexpectedly easy, and the Immortal Blades she led was only responsible for cleaning up the nearby Honkai beasts and zombies.

"It's solved."

While Bai Mo was talking, she also took out the core of the Herrscher of Ice and let everyone take a look.

However, despite this, Bai Mo did not save her image in Durandal's heart.

After all, as long as the misunderstanding still exists, this silly goose will never change her mind.

Maybe she just likes it a little bit? Just a little bit.

"Captain, the communication signal on the island has been restored. What should we do next?"

Since the Herrscher of Ice was successfully defeated, the signal on Coral Island was gradually recovering. Alvitr, who had been paying attention to this, reported it as soon as the signal was restored.

"Contact the Overseer first and see what the Overseer's henchmen say."

At this time, Rita suddenly spoke.

After all, the Herrscher of Ice had been eliminated and the crisis on Coral Island had been resolved. As for the Immortal Blade Squad and all the Valkyries on Coral Island who were carrying out the rescue plan, their next move must be instructed by Otto.

As for Otto's personal safety... What danger can this old fox have? Every time he goes out, he just uses a body of soulium.

Thinking of this, Rita smiled slightly and turned back to Durandal.

"Okay, Vice Captain!"

After receiving the order, our tool, Miss Alvitr, prepared to call Otto.

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

While the Immortal Blades was busy, Bai Mo and Kevin were naturally not idle.

Of course, the key point is that someone's mouth was not idle.

The two sat on the ground one meter apart, and Kevin was holding the second bucket of instant noodles in his hand.

After all, if Bai Mo didn't eat it, it would be bad for him to waste it.

Bai Mo was holding her cheek on the side, looking at the sunny and cheerful boy whose personality had collapsed with resentment.

But she could understand Kevin's current look. After all, he had gotten rid of the shackles of executing Project Stigma and could finally relax for a long time.

"Tell me about your plan, or what you plan to do next."

After eating the instant noodles, Kevin, who suddenly remembered Bai Mo's hesitant look on the way to Coral Road, spoke at this time.

"That's right, I forgot to tell you right away." Scratching her head, Bai Mo smiled somewhat embarrassedly, then put on a very serious expression. "Actually, this matter is quite important. It's about Otto wanting to cooperate with our World Serpent."

"Okay."

Kevin was silent for a while, then gave his answer.

After all, in the current civilization, Schicksal is still a major force against the Honkai. If it can cooperate with the World Serpent, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for mankind.

And a large part of the technology of the previous era has also been excavated by Schicksal, so if these things can return to the hands of the World Serpent again... then the result is naturally needless to say.

"I think it's okay, and if we talk about cooperation with Otto this time, maybe he will give us the entire Schicksal directly."

Bai Mo's words were not nonsense when her brain was hot.

After all, after discussing cooperation with Otto, the "beacon" of the second Divine Key would appear in Otto's hands without any accident. By then, Otto would no longer have time to manage Schicksal. At most, he would hand over the Void Archives to Kevin as in the original plot, and let him use the Void Archives to take over.

"Okay, let's go find it now without further delay... Ding Ding Ding... Ding Ding Ding..."

Standing up, before she took two steps forward, the phone in Bai Mo's pocket suddenly rang several times.

Out of curiosity, Bai Mo took it out and looked at it carefully, only to find that the message was sent by Eden, so she stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin noticed that Bai Mo was talking halfway and suddenly stopped, so he turned around and asked in confusion.

"It's okay. It seems that we don't need to look for Otto. Just now, Sister Eden sent me a message saying that she and Mobius have found Otto."

"And now, they are rushing towards us..."

Opening the chat interface, Bai Mo glanced at Kevin.

"Yeah."

Although she didn't know how Eden and Mobius found Otto, this was at least good news, wasn't it? At least she didn't have to ask Durandal and the others.

She just hoped that Otto's people were not dead. She didn't ask for much—just that Otto could come back with his head.

But... Sister Eden and the others shouldn't bring other people here... For example... Kiana and Mei and the others?

By the way, did Theresa bring them here when Coral Island collapsed this time? Because she came in a hurry, Bai Mo hadn't investigated this matter in advance, so now she was a little panicked.

Although the mask is worn, if she has to spend a long time with them... she will still feel uncomfortable after all, and it’s easy to bring Bai Mo’s identity into the mix.

So, after this negotiation with Otto, Bai Mo planned to find a time to show her cards to avoid the crisis of being discovered in the future.

After all, the small dark room and the basement are scary to think about!!!

------

Chapter 323: Otto: Long Live the World Serpent

It wasn't long before the street, which had originally been covered in ice and snow but now revealed its true appearance, welcomed three people who could influence an entire era.

Mobius and Eden walked side by side in front, while Otto followed them from a distance.

As for Theresa and the others, they had already been ordered by Otto to return. The reason was simple—Otto didn't want his granddaughter to suffer.

This also relieved Bai Mo of a burden, almost without her realizing it.

Listen to me thank you~ Because of you...

In short, after seeing that Theresa and the others were not behind the three, Bai Mo's mood instantly lifted!

She was as happy as could be!

However, this kind of happiness likely wouldn't last long, especially since Bai Mo had just been contemplating confronting Kiana and the others.

After all, after this conversation, Schicksal and the World Serpent would be aligned, and everything would be focused on defeating the Honkai!

However, the consequences of this showdown would fall solely on Bai Mo's shoulders.

Especially when it came to Himeko and Theresa, preaching was inevitable. As for Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, it was hard to say. Either way, they'd definitely be coaxed.

"Ah..."

I'm really sinful.

Sighing silently, Bai Mo didn’t dwell on this matter for the time being. After all, the most important thing right now was to negotiate the cooperation between the two parties.

You know, she had been planning for this moment for a long time, including the plan she had carefully conceived...

"Hi, Sister Eden, Snake... Mobius, have you missed me after not seeing me for so long~♪"

When the two were still ten meters away, Bai Mo smiled and greeted them, then took their arms—one on each side.

She was the kind of person who wouldn’t give them a chance to resist. Her behavior was exactly like Elysia’s. If the two hadn’t noticed the issue with the address, Eden would have definitely replied with "Good Ellie," and Mobius would have immediately said, "Get lost."

In the distance, Kevin raised his eyebrows after hearing Bai Mo’s tone. Although he had gotten used to it recently, he still couldn’t fully adapt to it.

Elysia, or something! It was already hard enough to handle just one of them!

"Dear Lau, should I call you that now?" Eden smiled slightly, clearly used to Bai Mo's antics, and skillfully responded.

As for Mobius, she snorted lightly and said nothing.

Bai Mo didn’t mind too much; after all, Mobius was just a tough nut.

So, she turned her attention to Otto, or more precisely, the shrunken version of Otto.

His clothes were scratched and had a bit of black mud on them. Well, it seemed Mobius had given Otto a bit of a punishment.

"Hey, isn’t this Otto? You're looking so lame after not seeing you for a few days?" Bai Mo smiled at Otto, speaking in a frivolous tone.

"Hello, Miss Aslaug, and... Your Excellency, the Lord of the World Serpent."

However, Otto didn’t mind the tone at all. He still wore a smile on his face and greeted the two.

He acted like an old friend who hadn’t been seen in years, very enthusiastic. After all, he was used to this.

"Hello, Overseer of Schicksal."

Kevin nodded silently.

At this point, the leaders of the two strongest organizations officially met, and this was enough to change the pattern of the entire world.

As for Anti-Entropy... it was better if they went to bed.

At that moment, Durandal arrived with Rita and the other team members.

"My Lord Overseer."

Everyone shouted together and stood behind Otto.

"It’s alright. The crisis on Coral Island has been resolved. The Immortal Blades can evacuate first. Bianka will stay."

Otto waved his hand indifferently. As for why he chose to leave Durandal behind, it wasn’t because he feared any accidents.

In the following negotiations, Otto would only represent Otto Apocalypse, while Durandal would "represent" Schicksal.

"Yes, Overseer."

Rita led the Immortal Blades away without saying another word.

Durandal had no objections.

"Want to discuss cooperation?"

After a long moment, when Otto looked back at her, Bai Mo spoke directly.

"Yes, it seems that Miss Aslaug is already aware of this."

It was a little surprising that Kevin, the lord, hadn’t spoken first. Otto valued Bai Mo’s identity a little more.

If Bai Mo had heard this, she would have probably thought: is it possible that Kevin doesn’t care about the order of priorities at all... or is he just too lazy to speak?

"Then don’t keep us in suspense, just find a place."

In some aspects, Bai Mo urged even more than Otto did.

Kevin nodded.

Mobius hated these negotiations, so she went back to the aircraft first, but Eden chose to stay and planned to accompany the two.

Otto didn’t mind much; after all, he only needed Kevin to represent the World Serpent.

"Please follow me."

The Void Archives appeared in his hand, and Otto immediately used it to create a field completely isolated from the outside world, then walked in first.

It was exactly the same as the place where the two had negotiated in the original plot. The moment Bai Mo entered this field, she thoughtfully constructed several seats for them.

They sat down, and the formal negotiations began.

"Long live the World Serpent."

Otto suddenly said this, attracting the attention of everyone present except Bai Mo.

Especially Durandal, who didn’t hide her disgust.

Her own Overseer was sick again.

"You, the Overseer, too—long live Schicksal."

As soon as Otto finished speaking, Bai Mo replied, as if she had been waiting for this moment.

After all, how could she miss such a historic moment? Moreover, this was one of the most important turning points in the original plot!

"...Haha, just kidding. It was a friendly opening to create a harmonious atmosphere for our conversation. So, Miss Aslaug, you don’t have to do this."

Otto was a bit surprised that someone would cooperate with him so fully, and for some reason, he felt that Bai Mo’s "Overseer" sounded particularly... pleasant? Familiar? As if he had heard it somewhere before.

--------

Chapter 324: Beacon

Otto would certainly feel familiar and comfortable listening to it now. After all, Bai Mo did not deliberately change her voice when speaking but chose to use her original voice.

After all, after discussing the cooperation later, she would no longer have to wear a mask, and then she could explain to Durandal and show her the current living conditions of the Snow Lotus Squad.

In short, once the misunderstanding is resolved, she will return to normal life!

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

In this cage of the void, the place of the box garden, several people sat opposite each other.

The atmosphere was indeed a little more harmonious than before, but it was enough. Both Bai Mo and Otto knew that they had to talk about business next.

After all, both of them had their own plans in mind.

Especially Otto, because being able to sit here and negotiate with the World Serpent was something he had planned for a long time. It was also the most important node on the road to resurrecting Kallen, and it was a node that could not afford mistakes.

No matter what he had to pay, he must get the "beacon" of the second Divine Key on this trip.

He was determined to win this!

"Let's get back to the point. Welcome, leader of the World Serpent. I knew I would meet you one day."

So, Otto turned his eyes away from Bai Mo and looked at Kevin beside her. After all, this was the real boss.

"I know your name, I know your identity, and I admire your deeds."

"You are the ancestor of Kaslana's blood, the hero who led the previous era humans to fight to the end, but at the same time, you are also the Lord of the World Serpent and the Stigmata... Sorry, it seems you have given up on this plan."

The words were particularly serious. This was the highest respect he expressed on his behalf to a warrior who fought against the Honkai.

"Here, I express my gratitude to you on behalf of all mankind."

And in this last sentence, Otto brought himself into the identity of the Archbishop of Schicksal.

Although he didn't care whether the Project Stigma was implemented or not, there was no doubt that if Project Stigma had been implemented, it would have been a catastrophe for mankind.

So no matter what, he had been trying to revive Kallen and protect the world for her for more than 500 years, so naturally, he was qualified to say this.

"No need to do that. The person you should thank is not me."

With a cold look on his face, Kevin glanced at Bai Mo's position intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, if Bai Mo, Herrscher of Finality, was not present in the current era, he would still be firm in Mei's entrustment and carry out Project Stigma without hesitation.

Kevin's little move was also seen by everyone present.

Besides, isn't it obvious that this is telling everyone that this matter is Bai Mo's credit?

Especially Otto, a curious look appeared on his face.

And Eden, although she knew that it was Bai Mo who changed Kevin's idea of carrying out the Project Stigma before, she didn't know what the two had talked about regarding this matter.

Recalling the conversation between the two at the World Serpent, and the secret that Kevin said he wanted to keep, Eden couldn't help but feel a little curious at this moment.

She also had a hunch that she could get the answer today.

"Oh, it seems that this matter is still the credit of Miss Aslaug?"

"You don't have to flatter me so much. After all, I just did what I should do."

Bai Mo just smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and said, "And compared to these, Otto, shouldn't you ask us about the beacon of the Second Divine Key now?"

"......"

As Bai Mo said this, Otto's face once again showed a solemn look.

Has he been seen through again?

Just like the last time at the headquarters, the Herrscher named Aslaug also revealed his plan to resurrect Kallen in one sentence.

The feeling that there seemed to be no secrets in front of the other party and that they could see through his soul at a glance made Otto very uncomfortable.

Otto looked at Bai Mo, which made him feel nostalgic. He thought that in the past five hundred years, the person in front of him was the first person he could not guess clearly.

Of course, he had investigated this privately, but no matter how he collected intelligence, there was no information about the person in front of him in the world.

Perhaps the name [Aslaug] and the appearance of the person in front of him were just false.

And as a Herrscher, he could actually build a good relationship with a group of warriors from the former civilization who were fighting against the Honkai, and even change the will of this person named Kevin Kaslana to carry out Project Stigma. No matter from which point of view, this also proves the importance of the identity of the person in front of him.

Perhaps it was curiosity that made him have an impulse to ask about the identity of the person in front of him.

Of course, this impulse was quickly suppressed by him.

After all, it is more important to talk about business at the moment.

"What? Are you... not going to take the beacon?"

Seeing that Otto hadn't said anything for such a long time, Bai Mo also spoke in a teasing tone.

She tried to act as surprised as possible. It must be said that Bai Mo's acting skills were getting better and better, although they couldn't be compared with an old fox like Otto.

"No, no, no, I was just a little curious, Miss Aslaug, why do you know so much?"

"I know everything."

Here, Bai Mo shamelessly quoted the famous saying of an old lynx without blushing or beating her heart.

It must be said that this feeling was still very refreshing, especially in front of Otto. It would be better if she could say a little more riddles, but the current situation did not allow her to do this.

In response, Otto smiled politely.

"You want to reach the tree of imaginary numbers."

At this time, Kevin, who had been silent all along, spoke up. After all, the coordinates of the second Divine Key were in his hands at the moment.

"That's right! Observation is definitely not the real purpose of the Key of Infinity. The purpose of its creation is to reproduce the Power of the Herrscher of the Void and create a portal leading to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

"Beyond the door is the eternal moment, the origin of the end, the birthplace of all truths and laws... It is the destination that I must reach."

After saying that, Otto took a deep look at Bai Mo.

"Then do you know the consequences of doing that?"

Getting to the point, Bai Mo put away her playful thoughts and asked seriously.

"I know, you know, we all know each other. That's why, Miss Aslaug, you should understand me... understand my long-cherished wish for five hundred years."

"For this, I can give everything, just need the beacon in your hand."

-------

Chapter 325: Long-cherished Wish

"Long-cherished wish?"

When Otto said this, everyone present except Bai Mo was stunned.

Especially Durandal; she didn’t know what her Overseer was talking about, but she didn’t dare to ask.

However, when she saw the serious expression on Otto’s face when he said those two words, she realized how significant the phrase "long-cherished wish" was.

Before this, she had never heard Otto mention this matter. Now, when he spoke those two words, she sensed a long-lost sense of relaxation in Otto, or perhaps a kind of relief?

After all, "long-cherished wish" carries great weight.

Otto was not surprised by Durandal’s reaction. After all, only Amber knew his plan.

Yes, the man named Otto Apocalypse had died with the saint named Kallen five hundred years ago. The man now known as Otto Apocalypse was merely a puppet, daring to challenge the world and deceive it for his selfish desires, just to achieve his goals.

He had always been very clear about his own position.

"He wants to use the Power of the imaginary tree to create a world where Kallen is still alive—that is, he wants to resurrect his beloved Kallen Kaslana, in disguise."

Bai Mo summarized Otto’s plan in the shortest words and gave everyone present an answer.

"That's right. For this, if I want to achieve my goal, I can only get the beacon of the second Divine Key first."

Otto agreed with this and reiterated his purpose.

As he said, he would give everything for this, even his entire Schicksal.

"Saint Kallen?!"

Durandal’s eyes widened, clearly still shocked by this explosive revelation.

After all, creating a world! No matter how you looked at it, it sounded incredible.

But for some reason, Durandal had a feeling that this man named Otto would succeed.

And Kevin, when Bai Mo mentioned Otto’s purpose, briefly thought of Mei’s figure.

The two exchanged a brief glance, reading different meanings in each other’s eyes.

After all, between the [Fool] and the [Hero], both envied each other.

Kevin had done what Otto dreamed of, successfully staying with Mei and spending a long time together. Although the two could no longer touch and hug each other later, Mei had finally used her own method to leave Kevin with their offspring.

And Otto had done what Kevin could never do: an opportunity to bring the person he loved back into the world.

There was a sharp contrast between the two, but neither of them lived solely for themselves.

One spent five hundred years for one person, while the other spent fifty thousand years for all mankind.

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

"But have you ever thought about it, Otto..."

At that moment, Bai Mo s

uddenly spoke, breaking the heavy silence.

Everyone looked at her, including Otto. If anyone cared most, it was him.

"What does Miss Aslaug want to say?"

Otto naturally attached great importance to Bai Mo’s words and wanted to hear her perspective on the matter and his plan.

Bai Mo did not disappoint Otto and quickly shared her opinion.

"Using that method to [revive] Kallen is, at best, an extension of the world line. Kallen in the original world is still dead. So, in a sense, you may not have changed anything."

"I..."

Otto frowned, but before he could refute, Bai Mo continued on her own. Helplessly, he listened.

"Of course, I don’t deny that your approach is effective. You did give Kallen a second life, but will the Kallen in the world you create be the original Kallen? The Kallen who was pierced through the chest by the Honkai beast and died?" Bai Mo’s tone became a little more impassioned.

After all, the original ending of Otto and Kallen was hard to accept, and she wanted to change it, while also saving others.

After all, this was the wish she made when she came to this world—to turn this imperfect world into something she expected.

Now, she had the Power to change it all. She just needed an opportunity to fulfill her wish. Bai Mo didn’t want to give up. She also wanted to leave something behind in this world. After all, if things turned out this way, Theresa’s cooking magic would not disappear.

As for Otto, the so-called atonement—let him join the fight against the Honkai wholeheartedly.

Slowly opening her eyes, Bai Mo continued to speak. "And the price of doing this is undoubtedly the extinction of your own existence. Are you willing? Are you willing to die like this and no longer participate in her life? It was your wish to resurrect her, after five hundred years of effort. When she is finally resurrected, you will leave her."

"Goodbye, my great inventor."

Bai Mo delivered the final blow, using the Power of the Herrscher of Sentience to implant the scene of Kallen saying this into Otto’s consciousness as she spoke.

Including the words she spoke before, it undoubtedly impacted Otto’s nerves. Though this was a bit of a cheat, it had the desired effect.

"Kallen..."

The blond man whispered her name.

In that moment, Otto felt his real Kallen saying goodbye to him. Heartache, reluctance, regret, and other emotions filled his mind.

All of it was so real. If possible, he would have liked to live with Kallen.

But that was clearly impossible. He was also very aware of the final cost of the plan. Apart from that, he had no other choice.

Even if it meant the demise of his own existence, as long as he could give Kallen a second life... he would give everything without hesitation.

This was the most selfish thing a person could do.

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

After a long silence, Otto raised his head again, a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Thank you for Miss Aslaug’s kindness, but what you think is too beautiful. And often, beautiful things are not meant for me."
