"Don't be so serious. I'm just a guest right now. Relax."

Jill raised her hand to signal them to relax, then walked toward the bar.

Then, Gross and Randolph both noticed Jill's arrival.

Rather, Jill had no intention of hiding her presence at all. She walked over, sat down casually, and snapped her fingers at Randolph. "A bottle of vodka, please, manager?"

"Yes, guest."

Randolph, dressed in a standard bartender's uniform, nodded, then took out a glass and retrieved a bottle of vodka from the liquor cabinet behind him.

"Hmph, are you going to give me back my cup?"

Jill chuckled, then took the vodka bottle, opened it with her bare hands, and then boldly raised her head, taking a big gulp and chugging down half of the vodka.

Jill's generous attitude drew cheers from the soldiers.

Even after two years of relatively peaceful times, these soldiers still hadn't lost their fighting spirit.

After all, Jill has assigned them quite a few sortie missions in the past two years.

Even now, when the Honkai Beasts attack, this group of people can immediately pick up their weapons and go straight to the battlefield, then slaughter the Honkai Beasts until blood flows like a river.

It's understandable that the soldiers cheered loudly because of Jill's appearance.

“Phew, that feels good… Hmm? I didn’t feel anything before, but now it feels a bit strange… Hiss, Gross, did you run into Otto?” Jill looked Gross up and down, sitting next to him, and asked.

Gross's expression instantly turned somewhat strange. "Your Majesty, your perception... is a little too sharp? I just met Otto a few days ago..."

“Bring that out. The one with Otto's scent is something else.” Jill knew very well that this wasn't something Otto of this world had given to Gross…

"Here you go." Gross took out the black and red driver and handed it to Jill.

"Hmm... this is for me...? Ah, I found it."

Jill found a button under the joystick on the side of the driver that Gross handed her. After pressing the button, the joystick turned twice, and then with a mechanical sound, an opening opened under the bottle slot of the driver. Jill reached in and took out a USB flash drive.

"Wow, that's well hidden." Jill tossed the USB drive over. "Here, take this one. And this one too. You can't use this kind of drive without it, but be careful, this drive doesn't perform as well as the squeeze drive."

Jill handed over the driver and another dark blue bottle. "Although this thing has a lot of growth potential and can be used with many items, in terms of performance alone, the squeeze driver is still better. Enhancement items are not suitable for you."

After saying that, Jill finished the remaining half bottle of vodka in one gulp, "Another one, please."

"Oh, oh..." After taking the Dragon Full Bottle and the Driver, Gross stuffed the two items into the box on his back.

Randolph then brought out a plate of spiced tofu. "Your Majesty, please have something to eat as well."

"Don't worry, I'm not that easily drunk." Gil waved his hand. "But you guys actually know how to make Chinese food?"

“After all, I know how to cook.” Kashu came out carrying two stacks of lunchboxes. “Thank you for your patronage. I’ll charge you a hundred dollars based on the prices here.”

"Oh, thanks, Kashu." Gross picked up his lunchbox, said goodbye quickly, and left immediately.

"...Hmph, so unreliable." Jill snorted, then took a big gulp of vodka. "Randolph, how about we assign you the [Dragon Fang] mission tomorrow?"

"Huh?" Randolph paused for a moment, then pointed at himself with an incredulous expression. "Me...?"

“Yeah, but it’s not just you. Kashu and Gutt will assist you.” Jill rested her chin on her hand. “If they don’t do a good job, I can just spend half a day cleaning up for you. So, how about giving it a try?”

“This…” Randolph looked at Kashu with a questioning gaze.

Kashu shrugged.

Randolph turned his gaze to Gutt, who was working on a computer on the sofa. Gutt simply made a "do whatever you want" gesture and continued to immerse himself in the world of the internet.

"How about it? Want to give it a try? If it turns out well, I'll make you another jelly from the fantasy plant."

Jill's tone sounded as if an adult was using a new toy as an incentive for a child to learn.

There is such a device in the Gate of Babylon that is made from the jelly-like gel used in those armors.

However, most of the full-bottles of the Fantasy Seed are in Jill's hands, and Jill herself rarely uses them, so the machine for making jelly gel is probably just sitting in a corner collecting dust.

Instead of letting it gather dust, it's better to take it out and use it properly; that would be quite nice.

"...Understood, I promise you."

Ultimately, Randolph, perhaps succumbing to the temptation of the new toy, agreed to Jill's request.

"Do a good job." Jill smiled. "Well then, I'll head back first tonight. You all should get some rest too."

Jill stood up. "Soon, we'll be busy."

After saying that, Jill finished the rest of the vodka and walked away.

As Jill reached the door, she turned back as if remembering something. "By the way, Randolph, if possible, come to the Gates of Babylon in a couple of days."

Jill smiled and said, "The thing I'm working on for you should be almost finished upgrading."

After saying that, Jill waved and left the bar.

……

The next day.

"Jill! Are you alright?! Are you too tired from work...? Let me see..." As soon as Theresa arrived at the office that morning, she saw Jill sitting on the sofa as if waiting for someone. Remembering how Jill suddenly had a fever and fainted last night, Theresa immediately took a few steps forward to check on Jill's condition.

"Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who won't die until I've finished everything."

Jill ignored Theresa's hand on her forehead and continued working on her laptop. The keyboard clattered as she spoke. After a moment, Jill exhaled, "To be honest, hacking into Schicksal's database is really quite difficult."

"Hmm, after all, it's the firewall of Schicksal's headquarters database... Wait!? What are you doing?!" Theresa suddenly realized what Jill was doing and exploded.

"I've found the information I wanted, erased the intrusion traces, tracked and countered... Well, to be honest, this is my first time being a hacker."

Although Jill's omniscient and omnipotent star can see intelligence, such things are sometimes difficult to describe in words and are far inferior to electronic documents.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh! You..." Theresa was about to say something when Jill interrupted her.

"The Fourth Herrscher is about to appear, and you're still so leisurely?" Gilgamesh's eyes flashed with displeasure. "Tsk, this is..."

"Let me see, let me see. You found the information on the Fourth Herrscher?" Theresa was immediately drawn to Gilles's words.

After all, compared to the appearance of the Herrscher, stealing the Destiny database is really a minor matter.

“This…! This child!” Theresa’s expression changed immediately after reading the information that popped up on Jill’s laptop.

Jill's expression darkened slightly, but he said nothing and fell into a long silence.

Jill and Theresa both had extremely gloomy expressions on their faces.

Moreover, the atmosphere around the two people made the room feel cold and stiff.

“…Phew…I didn’t expect that.” Jill said this as if she were sighing.

"No!" Theresa immediately snatched the laptop from Jill's hand. "You can't lay a hand on that child!"

"..." Jill paused for a moment, then looked at Theresa with a smile, "You should know my character. I won't lay a hand on my student. I'm just going to arrange for someone to pick her up."

"...Really?" Theresa was also calmed down a bit by Jill's calm words, but she still asked in a somewhat uneasy tone.

Jill could only comfort Theresa in a tone meant to coax a child, "Really, don't worry."

He really didn't intend to do that.

“However, we really need to find a way to solve that child’s leg problem… and I also need to have a good talk with Otto again.” Jill cracked her knuckles.

Jill only found out today after stealing Destiny's data.

It turns out I was one of the students I had the highest hopes for in the world...

They actually fell victim to that bastard Otto's wickedness.

"Hmm, let's try another Sunbow this time." Gil clicked his tongue. "If that doesn't work, we'll use the End Sword."

Chapter 215 The Collapse Occurs! Irreversible?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it feels kind of scary…” Theresa said, squinting her eyes.

"None of your business?" Jill scoffed. "Anyway, I'll go make preparations now. I'll inform [Apocalypse] and [Shadow] right away, and then I'll leave the issues with Schicksal to you."

“Okay, leave it to me!” Theresa nodded.

While Jill could certainly distract Schicksal, it would be quite easy for Theresa to distract Otto.

So Jill entrusted the task of restraining destiny to Theresa.

Jill's own mission was to get his student, Wendy, away from the area where the collapse was imminent as quickly as possible.

new Zealand.

However, Jill probably thinks Theresa will inform New Zealand in advance about the impending collapse so that people can take refuge in advance.

For Jill, this was something he would naturally do...

But more importantly, it's about getting Wendy out of there.

Jill put down her laptop. "Let's get started now!"

Jill immediately ran outside, and at the same time, she turned on the phone and began contacting her subordinates.

【Apocalypse】is a strategist organization, and also has many agencies involving high-ranking members of various countries, so it is not difficult to find these people.

but……

Sometimes, fate just plays tricks on people.

"Beep—beep—beep—beep—"

The piercing alarm blared in Jill's ears.

Jill stopped in her tracks.

A strong and ominous premonition instantly filled Jill's mind.

"Major collapse occurs in New Zealand!"

As the voices emanating from the makeshift operations room grew louder, Jill's face gradually darkened.

……

The Hyperion.

Jill changed into her captain's uniform for the Hyperion—or so she thought.

Today he was wearing a neat undershirt and an outer coat, but no military cap or uniform; it was his usual simple and straightforward attire.
