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

In a hibernation pod containing a Soul Steel body, Otto's consciousness slowly came online, and after synchronizing his memories, he also stepped out of it.

He has many spare soul steel bodies like these. He places five to ten in almost every airport of the entire Destiny Headquarters to prevent accidents from happening.

"Being killed is a really unpleasant feeling."

After stretching his wrists, Otto rubbed his forehead and said with a slight headache.

After all, Otto was just an ordinary person. No one would feel good after experiencing death once. So what if he had a Soul Steel body? He could still feel pain just like his original body.

Everything around was messy and covered in dust, as if no one had been there for years.

Otto slowly closed the hibernation pod door and turned to walk outside.

The situation outside must be in complete chaos by now... The bishop of Schicksal was assassinated in his own headquarters, right under the noses of a bunch of Valkyries.

If such words were to get out, he would truly lose all face.

Thinking of this, Otto shook his head with a wry smile, though he himself didn't really care about saving face.

After all, Void Archives described Sakura as one of the strongest assassins of the previous civilization, codenamed "Forget-Me-Not." She was a figure who had been walking on the edge of darkness for many years, so her strength was beyond doubt. Especially after becoming a fusion warrior, her strength became even more unfathomable. Legend has it that she could freeze space briefly with a single strike, so killing someone would be a piece of cake for her.

One has to admire the power and monstrous nature of the fusion warriors. And thinking of this, Otto couldn't help but recall Thousand Calamity, who had just destroyed the Oceania branch in the early hours of this morning.

Like Sakura, both of them originated from the [Poisonous Chrysalis], making them the black gloves of the [Fire-Chasing Moth].

As a leader of an organization himself, Otto naturally possessed the destiny of having a black glove, so he was well aware of the madness and terror of such people.

Was I completely defeated this time? No, not completely defeated. At most, I just ran into a brick wall because I hadn't gathered enough intelligence beforehand.

After all, testing someone's bottom line always comes at a price.

It's nothing more than the destruction of a branch, nothing more than the loss of a Soul Steel body. Otto can accept it. At worst, he'll just give his beloved granddaughter a smaller allowance next month.

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

In the dark and deep passageway, only the sound of footsteps echoed; the rest of the surroundings were utterly silent.

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

"boom!!"

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

It sounded like someone was banging on the door with a heavy object. Was it Bianca? Otto frowned in confusion.

Indeed, once the news of his assassination attempt spread, Bianca would definitely rush here, since only Bianca, besides Amber, knew the location of his spare Soul Steel body in Destiny.

Moreover, this recklessness really does resemble Bianca using the Black Abyss White Flower to knock on the door. 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.

"Clang!!"

With a loud crash, the exit door collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The smooth and neat cut was clearly the mark left by a sharp blade; there was no Black Abyss White Flower smashing the door.

Realizing this, Otto immediately became alert, and the Void Treasury in his hand transformed into the shape of the mimicry of the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

As a ray of light shone in, dispelling the darkness, Otto, who was in a daze, saw once again the face he had been "longing for".

"you...."

"I said we would meet again, but please rest assured, this is the last time."

Before Otto could react, Sakura didn't give him any time to react, or rather, Otto had no intention of resisting at all. She immediately slashed out with her long sword. Without any pain, Otto's body was torn to pieces in an instant.

She was in a hurry.

Using the same method, Sakura once again gathered up the scattered soul steel on the ground. As if she had rehearsed it countless times, without the slightest hesitation, Sakura resolved the matter.

Furthermore, she was able to find this place entirely thanks to the advanced technology provided by Velvet. She only needed to place the liquid soul steel into one of the points, and it would automatically display the locations of other soul steel models corresponding to it.

After all, if Otto wanted to use Soul Steel to create a body, he would have to modify it and implant some kind of signal. Therefore, Velvey, who dealt with Soul Steel all day long in the previous civilization, naturally knew this, which is why she prepared this tracker for Sakura.

"Sakura, come back quickly after you've resolved this. The signal indicates that someone is already heading in your direction."

The tracker, which had been silent until now, suddenly picked up Wilvi's voice. Sakura was not surprised at all when she heard it, and simply gave a faint "hmm".

A backdoor, huh? Vilvi always likes to do that.

Moreover, her original plan was to leave after dealing with this body.

Sakura's long, pink hair swayed back and forth in the wind as she skillfully concealed herself, moving among various buildings. Some Valkyries around her were still searching for her, or rather, the entire Destiny was already on her wanted list.

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

With less than a kilometer to the edge of the airport, Sakura decided to jump off there and then summon a spacecraft to catch her.

For a fusion warrior, even if she fell directly into the sea like this, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Holding onto the brim of her hat, Sakura bent down and quickened her pace.

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

"Stop right there! Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action!"

A golden figure had caught up without anyone noticing. It was Durandal. Using the power of the World Bubble, she was incredibly fast and appeared directly in front of Sakura in the blink of an eye. Then, she blocked Sakura's path with a long spear in her hand.

"【Momentary】Moon Viewing Sake!"

In response, Sakura didn't say much and directly slashed at Durandal.

A cold glint suddenly appeared!

The countless afterimages seemed to be the original body, and the dense, rain-like slashes quickly landed on the spear forged from stars.

Chapter 307 Setsuna VS "The Strongest Valkyrie of Destiny!"

"You attempted to assassinate a bishop and then tried to escape! You should know the consequences of doing so."

During their battle, Durandal angrily questioned...

"But if I may be so bold, you do not possess the power to defeat me." Sakura brandished her longsword, her expression completely unwavering. "Besides, it was your family's bishop who was at fault first; those who distort the truth deserve their punishment."

"What a blatant distortion of the truth! It was clearly that Herrscher who committed the murder first! What, aren't you going to deny it?"

Not knowing the true nature of the matter, and taking what she sees as the truth, Durandal naturally wouldn't give Sakura a friendly look.

However, this cannot be blamed on her, since Bai Mo's use of the power of knowledge at that time was very powerful, making it easy for people to believe it.

Moreover, Sakura's words only emphasized the latter's role in creating the Honkai, without mentioning the destruction of the Snow Lotus Squad at all. What is this? Protecting the Herrscher while treating human life like dirt! All of this made Durandal even more furious.

"Ugh...."

Knowing the truth but unable to tell it, Sakura was also very distressed about this matter. After all, it was A-Qi who had told her to do this, so she knew that she could not tell the truth no matter what.

Even if someone is fully aware of certain truths, as long as the person in question doesn't acknowledge them, then everything is just speculation, and no one can make a fuss about it.

Since the Snow Lotus Squad has joined the World Serpent, Bai Mo should provide them with a stable life. Even though the World Serpent is now very powerful and fearless of fate, it is inevitable that people will gossip once this matter is exposed.

Therefore, Bai Mo believes that exchanging a false identity and a false appearance for these things is a great deal. Besides, the truth will always come out eventually, and it's not too late to explain everything then.

“You don’t understand anything.”

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

Thousands of stars converge here!

Faced with Sakura's sharp attacks, Durandal held her spear and parried back and forth, her golden armor already on her body.

Perhaps Sakura wasn't using her full strength at all, because for a while the two were evenly matched, but in the end, Sakura still had the upper hand over Durandal.

After all, whether in terms of skill or combat experience, Durandal is far superior.

Having accumulated over 50,000 years of experience, even in the Land of Past Lives, Sakura's swordsmanship is not static!

During the battle, Sakura seized an opening in Durandal's defenses and sent her flying with a single palm strike. Then, she followed up like a ghost.

"Star Armor! Forge!"

Upon seeing this, Durandal quickly used the power of the World Bubble to create a shield in front of her, while starlight surged behind her, trying to find a balance point to stabilize herself.

But her actions only provoke an even fiercer offensive from Sakura.

Amidst the flashing blades, the icy blade once again breached Durandal's defenses.

In contrast, the spear formed from the stars also knocked Sakura's hat off.

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

Ok?

Is this considered deliberately making things more difficult for herself? Sakura didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although these ears are a byproduct of the Fusion Warrior project, they are still considered an organ of her body. Covering them with a hat usually affects her perception and hearing to some extent.

Durandal's actions have inadvertently unlocked a layer of seal for Sakura, adding a bit of difficulty for her.

"A dazzling array of flowers! Red leaves!"

Enveloped in a touch of frost, the sharp blade traced a crescent moon in the air, followed by countless afterimages of the blade, which finally exploded like fireworks.

"Stars! Gathered here!"

Durandal was not to be outdone, and immediately unleashed an even stronger power, like a holy sword anchored to the world, her overall strength rapidly increasing.

The azure light, as the spear was swung, transformed into streaks of shooting stars, deflecting all of Sakura's attacks and even launching a significant counterattack.

Sakura sensed something within this power.

"You are the person Su chose."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ying's cool eyes, but she quickly regained her usual composure.

Su, who possesses the inscription of "Heavenly Wisdom" and is a wise man, actually chose such a... cough cough... slightly naive girl?

Well, for now, this is the only word Sakura can think of to describe Durandal. There's a saying, "She won't turn back until she hits a wall," and this girl is probably the kind of person who will stubbornly keep going even if it means breaking through the wall.

For Sakura, seeing through a person's true heart and personality is a piece of cake.

Moreover, since this girl is also Su's chosen successor, she can be a little more forceful in her attack.

It wasn't some kind of personal vendetta; it was simply a matter of 50,000 years of camaraderie, and he wanted her to give the girl in front of him some special training.

"So what if it is? Besides, that pioneer wasn't like you, associating with the Honkai and the Herrschers."
