What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

"I am here, Your Excellency. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Who submitted this document...?"

"It's the head of the intelligence department, Mr. Ophisto."

“Mr. Aufest... Mr. Aufest has indeed worked hard in collecting information, so Rita, arrange for him to rest and recuperate at another branch for a while.”

"As you command, Lord Bishop."

The press conference for the arrest warrant still had to go on, so Otto had no choice but to deal with the matter briefly for the time being.

After all, his original intention was to test the World Serpent's reaction, and perhaps this matter could be considered a qualified fuel.

Thinking of this, Otto almost instantly returned to his previous calm and composed demeanor.

He gestured for the Valkyries to stop talking, and then, with a single sentence, he brought the press conference for the wanted poster to a climax.

"Dear friends, now it's time for us to reveal the mystery."

The instant Otto finished speaking, all the pictures in the previous documents were replaced with photos of Bai Mo... no, it should be said that [Asura], and all her potential information was made public.

"Name: Asura, Gender: Female, Age: Unknown. She is currently an executive of the World Serpent Organization. However, it should also be noted that this Miss Asura is also a genuine Herrscher."

As soon as the words "Herrscher" were uttered, the previously noisy venue immediately fell silent.

Chapter 298 Bronya: What? You did it in the name of the world?

"No...this can't be! Why her!"

"It can't possibly be like this..."

Inside the principal's office at St. Freya Academy, Theresa trembled uncontrollably as she saw Bai Mo's photo on the wanted poster, as if she had lost her mind.

The bitter melon juice I was holding had fallen to the ground and spilled everywhere.

Having already identified [Asura] as Bai Mo in her heart, she simply couldn't look at the so-called "crimes" on the wanted poster.

The child in her memory was so lively and kind, and even after becoming a Herrscher, she didn't harm them in the slightest when they were in Abyss City.

Despite these thoughts, the confirmed photos on the wanted poster undoubtedly became a sharp sword, piercing her heart.

"World Serpent...Stigmata Project..."

Theresa felt that Bai Mo's transformation was all due to the World Serpent, and a surge of anger appeared on her face.

She clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, and she even wished she could go to the World Serpent right now and bring Bai Mo back.

“Theresa..…”

Himeko glanced deeply at Theresa, who was in pain, and then immediately turned off the live stream.

After all, she was no different. If you had observed carefully during the trip to Haiyuan City, you would have discovered that there was some connection between [Asura] and Bai Mo, and they might even be the same person.

However, considering that they also lacked concrete evidence, they did not dare to approach and inquire, and could only look for another opportunity.

However, with this latest incident at headquarters, Himeko felt increasingly exhausted.

These are truly turbulent times.

"Little Amo, you really know how to give your older sister a hard time."

She leaned closer and gently pulled Theresa into her arms.

The two remained silent, leaning on each other, unaware of how much time had passed. Just as Himeko wanted to talk to Theresa some more, she realized that Theresa had fallen asleep in her arms.

However, Theresa's sleep was clearly not very restful; the way she frowned from time to time made Himeko immediately realize that she was having a nightmare.

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

"Mei... let's go back to the apartment and rest. I don't really want to go to the next class."

Kiana looked visibly dejected and said weakly with her head down.

"Okay, I'll explain the situation to Himeko-sensei. Here's what we'll do: Bronya, you take Kiana back first, I'll be there shortly."

Unusually, Mei did not reject Kiana's request, but rather agreed to it quite naturally.

"Bronya knows."

Bronya didn't say much in response. She simply nodded silently, then walked over to Kiana, helped her out of the classroom.

Clearly, it was exactly the same situation as Theresa's. After seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the wanted poster, the three of them inevitably experienced a dramatic change in their feelings.

He was sullen and depressed, as if a piece of his heart was missing, and he couldn't muster any interest in doing anything.

After all, none of the three of them were fools. From March 7th to Asura, although they didn't have many interactions, the inexplicable sense of familiarity, intimacy, and tacit understanding between them was constantly stimulating their senses.

These feelings cannot be faked; they can only be cultivated through long-term interaction.

Moreover, since Bai Mo disappeared, there has only been one other person who could give them this feeling, in addition to the inexplicable attitude of the girl named Asura towards Kiana back in Haiyuan City.

Therefore, in conclusion, this cannot be explained by mere coincidence.

That's why the three of them cared so much about what happened. Although none of them said it outright, they all knew the truth in their hearts.

Next time we meet, be sure to ask the questions that are on your mind!

The three of them thought to themselves in unison.

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

Not long after, Bronya accompanied Kiana back to the apartment, while Mei went to the headmaster's office alone, intending to have a serious talk with Himeko and Theresa about the matter.

"Kiana...would you like to play a game with Bronya for a while?"

Bronya changed into slippers and skillfully walked to the game console. She took out two game controllers and spoke to Kiana, who was staring blankly on the sofa.

"This is the one Amo often plays, right? Two-player co-op, sure, let's go."

Seeing this, Kiana took the controller, talking to herself, and sat down next to Bronya.

The two deliberately left a small gap between them while playing the game, as if they were intentionally leaving room for someone to peek.

After all, there was a time when the two of them would often have someone who was bad at the game pointing fingers at them from behind when they played games like this.

"Kiana."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Bronya?"

"Sister Bai Mo, she will definitely come back."

"Yes! That's right, after all, that's what we all believe."

The Stigmata Project will definitely not succeed, even if it makes Bronya the Herrscher of Reason.

Bronya will never let anyone leave her side again!

A determined look flashed in her eyes, and the girl silently made a decision at that moment.

After finishing the game, Bronya quietly took out her phone and sent a few messages to someone.

【Metal Gear: Bronya】: "Mr. Walter, Bronya has decided to accept your test."

[In the Name of the World]: "Is that so? It seems you've made the corresponding preparations. It just so happens that the little girl named Seele has been recovering quite well recently, and I will take her to St. Freya Academy soon."

【Metal Gear Brown】: "Thank you, Mr. Walter."

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

Meanwhile, on the other side, the World Serpent, in the same situation as Bronya, was also secretly reporting information to someone.

However, this place is obviously much more fun.

[Gray Snake]: "My esteemed Snake Lord, are you there? I have something important to report to you."

[I hate pink the most]: "? If you need something, talk to Kevin... never mind, just say it, remember to get to the point, and don't disturb me while I'm doing my experiments."

[Grey Serpent]: "Here's the thing, it seems that Fate wants to start a war with us..."

Chapter 299 Cherry Blossom/Sharpening Her Knife Towards Otto

Sigh, this bishop of destiny was a very rational person before, so why did he have to court death this time?

Issuing an arrest warrant? Why not just call it issuing a challenge?

And if you're going to issue a warrant for someone's arrest, fine, but why did you have to issue one for Miss Asura? I really don't know what this Archbishop of Destiny was thinking.

If you were to put a warrant for the arrest of anyone else, even something like a jackal or a feathered rabbit, the World Serpent probably wouldn't care. But with Miss Asura, it's a different story.

The group's darling! Do you even know what that means?!

With these thoughts in mind, Gray Serpent lightly tapped his finger and sent the entire process of Otto issuing the arrest warrant to Mebius.

As for what his own Serpent Lord will do next, that's beyond his control.

Enjoy the show, watch the drama unfold, and offer a little help when necessary—that's what a qualified "tool" should do.

[I hate pink the most]: "???"

[I hate pink the most]: "Just for something this trivial? Fine, I get it, just go do what you need to do."

Hmm... my Serpent Lord's mouth is still as sharp as ever...

Looking at the message Mebius sent back on the terminal, Grey Serpent was not surprised; on the contrary, he thought that this was the correct way to reply.

Without dwelling on it too much, Gray Snake finished his business and returned to his work.

My mission is to surpass Klein!

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

Meanwhile, in Möbius's laboratory.

After removing his white gloves, Möbius calmly watched the video sent by Gray Snake.

But compared to her outward calm, Mebius's eyes were even more chilling. A faint smile played at the corners of her lips, as if she were enduring something. Mebius couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

She actually dared to openly provoke the snake. You should know that the person named Asurachi was her own personal guinea pig.

So when did it become the turn of outsiders to covet their prey?

Prepare for the snake's revenge.

"Klein, I need to take care of some other things first. I'll leave this to you for now."
