I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Randolph abruptly reached out, grabbed Durandal's arm, and flung her away—

In doing so, he was exposed to the figure's straight-line advance.

Adding to the earlier action of pulling Durandal out, Randolph—

There's no way to avoid it now.

"Pfft!"

The sudden sound silenced the entire space for a moment.

The weapon pierced a bloody hole in the chest area of ​​Randolph's armor, and that part of the armor looked as if it had been gouged out by something, leaving a neat round hole.

"Randolph—!"

Gross roared as he saw the figure in its true form.

"Otto Apocalypse—!"

"Thus, one of the Hero King's most prized subordinates, Mad Lion, is dead."

Otto coldly drew his weapon, which was—

A golden, conical lance—

“Mimicry: Black Abyss White Flower…Mad Lion, you’ve finally witnessed the power you’ve always wanted to see. You died a worthy death.” Otto casually flicked the blood off the golden spear in his hand. “Should I call you foolish? You actually went to save your own enemy.”

"..." As the starlight dissipated, Randolph, spitting out a mouthful of blood, collapsed to the ground.

"..."

At that moment, Wendy, who was closest to Jill, felt a sense of oppression as if it came from a giant beast from the ancient primordial era.

"Oh, T!"

Jill's armor began to vibrate, and suddenly, his armor was removed.

That wasn't because Jill suffered a huge blow, but because Jill's immense strength was so great that the armor couldn't contain it, and in order to protect itself, the armor automatically ejected from its body.

He took a sudden step forward, and Otto instinctively retreated.

Jill then came to Randolph's side, stretched out her hand, and white light slowly enveloped Randolph's body.

Visibly, the wound on Randolph's body slowly returned to its original state, although Randolph's face was a little pale due to blood loss.

"Gross, Randolph is yours. Inform [Azure Dragon], [Blade], [Dragon Fang], and [Apocalypse] that from today onwards, all Valkyrie units of Schicksal, except for the Far East Branch, are permitted to enter combat mode, regardless of life or death!"

Jill's emotions were in turmoil. "Otto, you've turned against me. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

“It doesn’t matter, I’ve already achieved my goal.” Otto raised the Black Abyss White Flower. “Hero King, I admit you are indeed very powerful and almost flawless in your calculations, but even you have your miscalculations.”

Jill seemed to remember something, and the expression in her bloodshot eyes suddenly became even more ferocious. "You—you wouldn't!"

“That’s right?” Otto smiled with delight. “I’ve resurrected ‘her.’ If I’m not mistaken, she should have already obtained the Conquest Gem, right?”

"Otto!" Gil roared like a ferocious beast.

“I admit your ideas and talents are indeed impressive, and your team assignments are also quite remarkable. You actually managed to send that girl named Lian—whom I originally intended to use as the second Herrscher prototype—to be with K423…” Otto gave a dramatic smile. “It’s just a pity that although that girl is very capable, she’s still too green!”

As if symbolizing Otto's words, a massive burst of Honkai energy suddenly erupted at the other end of the town!

……

Let's go back eighteen minutes.

"Ugh, damn it, we're lost." Lian frowned. "The roads outside this town are so confusing."

"Yes, there are far fewer Honkai Beasts and the like." Kiana nodded, showing an expression of approval.

Mei sighed, "So, you two are both terrible with directions...?"

"No way! I have a great sense of direction!" Lian snapped in a second. If she had a bad sense of direction, Grevas would have found her in a ravine and left her there, never to return.

"Okay..." Mei nodded with a wry smile, opening her tactical terminal. "The Honkai energy concentration here is too high. Even with the Honkai energy filtering device protecting it, the tactical terminal can't function..."

Tactical terminals are standard equipment on every Valkyrie, and their function is mainly to provide maps and communication.

If both the tactical terminal and the tactical eyepiece are unusable, that means...

“We’ve lost contact…” Lian sighed.

In fact, as long as the tactical terminal is placed within the protection of the Honkai energy filtering system, it can be used normally without any problems. However, the Honkai energy concentration here is too high, and even the Honkai energy filtering system cannot completely filter it, which is why the terminal malfunctions.

At this moment, Lian noticed that something was wrong.

"Be careful! Something's approaching!"

Although the Honkai energy concentration outside was so high due to the Great Collapse that the terminal could not be used, Ren's senses still detected something approaching.

The quantity was enormous, and there were also some sounds coming from it...

"Honkai Beasts! Why are Honkai Beasts here!?" Ren gripped the demonic sword that Restia had transformed into, her entire body tense up.

"Roar!"

It was unclear which Honkai Beast made that sound first, but Ren immediately gripped the demonic sword in her hand, and then her dark divine power suddenly erupted, transforming into dark purple lightning and fire, instantly sweeping away a group of Honkai Beasts in one direction.

The moment those Honkai Beasts came into contact with the lightning and fire, they were torn to ash by the intense heat and powerful lightning.

More than a hundred Honkai Beasts approached from all directions. Although Lian's attack had eliminated more than fifty Honkai Beasts, it had also attracted the remaining ones.

"Tch, I'll take care of them all and be back soon. Stay alert." Ren patted Mei on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, Lian, you must be careful too."

"Don't worry, even the Elf King might not be able to hurt me." Lian waved her hand. "I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Lian jumped up and rushed towards the direction of the Honkai Beast's voice.

Otto, who was hiding in the shadows, finally couldn't hold back any longer when he saw Ren leave.

He slowly used Honkai energy to condense a pistol—

Mimicry Fire Fairy Type II.

His goal wasn't to hit Kiana, but rather...

He raised the Fire Fairy II in his hand, and then—

The trigger was pulled.

The sound of the gunshot instantly alerted Kiana, and she immediately turned to the side, trying to dodge the shot.

However, although she successfully dodged it, her Honkai energy filtering system was damaged as a result.

"Kiana!" Mei also heard the gunshot and immediately became alert, looking around.

However, the level of Honkai energy in the air is absolutely insufficient to awaken the Tranquility Gem...

So, Otto, hidden in the shadows, raised a gun once more—

A pistol containing a canister of ultra-concentrated Honkai energy liquid.

Chapter 220 The Herrscher...Resurrected!

Otto pointed his gun at Kiana.

Mei then came to Kiana's side. "Kiana, are you alright?"

"Something's wrong, Mei, there's someone around!" Kiana immediately raised her dual pistols, then opened the storage bag on her thigh and took out another Honkai energy filter. "Luckily, I forgot to return the Honkai energy filter from my last mission. Let's install it quickly..."

Otto, hidden in the shadows: "..."

Wait, this script isn't right?

According to Rita, this girl is actually quite slow-witted, so how come she suddenly has a breakthrough now?!

Never mind, if all else fails, just rush over and subdue them, then inject that girl with the Honkai energy potion and concentrated Honkai energy.

In close combat, as long as Ren Ashbell isn't around, they can't do anything to him.

"Hey, look what I found!"

A voice suddenly rang out behind Otto, "A fresh Archbishop of Destiny~"

The moment Otto turned his head, a small fist loomed larger and larger in front of him—

"boom!"

Otto was sent flying! A direct hit to the face, the effect was outstanding!

"Ugh!" Otto was hit and rolled twice in the air before landing.

Kiana and Mei both saw the figure that flew out from mid-air—

Otto also saw Kiana and immediately rushed over, trying to control her.

Just as Kiana was about to resist, an almost irresistible force directly suppressed her, and then a syringe was suddenly plunged into Kiana's neck!

"Ugh!" Kiana struggled to break free from Otto, and the monstrous strength of the Kaslana family came into play, slamming Otto hard to the ground.

"Hahahaha—" Otto suddenly burst into laughter, "You still let me get my way! Kiana Kaslana!"

Then, Lian lifted him up and punched him hard, sending him flying. "What did you do?!"

Otto lay prone on the ground, then slowly supported himself to kneel, a healthy smile spreading across his face. "You want to protect her? Fine, I'm going to make your mission a complete failure right now!"

Otto shouted loudly in Kiana's direction: "Kiana Kaslana!"

He raised his hand shakily, pointing his index finger at Kiana, "Why did your father, Siegfried Kaslana, abandon you when you were only ten years old eight years ago and disappear without a trace!?"

Why don't you have a single memory of your mother, Cecilia Shaniat?!

Why do you often get headaches when you need to neutralize high levels of Honkai energy?!

At this moment, Lian realized that she couldn't let Otto continue talking. She jumped up and kicked Otto, sending him crashing into the rock behind him, making him close his eyes and open his mouth.

But Otto didn't give up. He continued, in a halting tone, "There's only one answer..."

Lian picked up Otto and punched him so hard that two of his teeth were knocked out. "Shut up! My friend, my classmate! Who do you need to talk to?!"

"Kiana..."

"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Lian slammed Otto onto the floor with all her might.

Otto struggled, pulled a recorder from his pants pocket, and turned the volume up, "Kiana Kaslana! You're nothing but a resurrected body of the Second Herrscher that I created, wearing that name!"
