"uh-huh."

Alicia looked at Su, and Su nodded, handing over the authority of the Second Divine Key to her.

Although it was supposed to be given to Destiny, Otto's actions have already put Sue in a terrible situation. Giving her to "Yellow Springs" is essentially giving her to Destiny, since she is still Destiny's undercover agent and her identity has not been exposed.

"Huang Quan" reluctantly nodded, wanting to get what he wanted from them.

Although this score hasn't been settled yet, her power can't control Huang Quan's body for long. The reason she's been able to hold on until now is entirely because Huang Quan offers no resistance to her consciousness.

"Su, take my daughter home. Remember, there can't be a next time."

Before losing control of her body, Alicia left a message in Huang Quan's mind, and then said goodbye to Sue and Kevin.

After "Huang Quan" had disappeared for a long time, Kevin and Sue exchanged a glance and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They barely made it through this ordeal, but the pressure they felt facing an angry Alicia was unimaginable.

After all, Alicia held a special place in their hearts. They already felt guilty, and now, because of Otto's actions, they had disgusted her daughter, so they felt doubly guilty.

Alicia didn't scold them; just looking at them made Kevin and Sue break out in a cold sweat.

Sue and Kevin sat together under the cherry blossom tree, the very tree where Kevin had once made a promise to Sakura that humanity would defeat the Honkai no matter what.

He will also be bidding farewell to another close friend here...

Alicia and Kevin could both sense that Sue was weak, but they tacitly refrained from saying it out loud.

Sue's weakness was not only physical, but also mental, and it was almost irreversible. In fact, Sue was also resigned to death.

He was too tired...

For so many years, he had been observing the parallel worlds on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, which had long since exhausted his mental energy.

It's time for him to rest.

"I'm sorry, Kevin..."

This time, Sue tricked Kevin again, just like before, but this time, he could still smile.

They sat side by side with each other, as if they had returned to their high school days.

Let's make stupid mistakes together and take the blame together.

"wait for me."

Kevin pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly.

"Ha...she's still here, so you can't catch my bus..."

Su smiled and opened her eyes.

"At the very least, we have to wait until you pay off this debt and put this matter aside."

Is Sue really just trying to make Kevin take the blame?

Although Sue wanted Alicia to keep Kevin in check, she actually wanted Kevin to have some attachment to this era.

As long as Alicia's daughter, Huang Quan, is alive, Kevin will protect her and will not leave so easily.

"Su, you're always plotting against me..."

Kevin and Sue know each other's feelings very well; they are best friends, and that has never changed.

Goodbye, Kevin...

With Su's last words, he gradually closed his eyes, and his body gradually turned into particles of light and dissipated.

In the end, only Kevin was left, sighing silently.

"You...you're so despicable..."

......

Destiny Headquarters

Otto frowned as he watched the Second Divine Key remain unresponsive despite being activated for a long time.

Last time, it was Durandal who went in and made the deal with him, and Durandal would never deceive him.

But what if the other party reneges on the debt or simply runs away? Wouldn't he suffer a huge loss in this round?

Although Durandal has the coordinates of the other party's world bubble, this possibility still exists.

However, the next moment, a purplish-black figure appeared in front of him.

"this..."

Huang Quan was somewhat dazed. When her body was taken over earlier, she felt a similarly warm aura, and she instinctively did not resist.

But she has no idea what happened during the time her body was taken over.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind.

"Baby, I've obtained the access to the Second Divine Key and the Beacon for you. Use them to exchange for the Tranquility Gem from Schicksal. It will be very helpful to you. You can fuse it by placing it on your chest. The rest is up to you. Remember to go back to World Serpent first; there's a surprise waiting for you."

"Love you."

The girl's playful voice startled Huang Quan, who then looked blankly at the beacon in his hand.

The voice sounded familiar to her, like someone who had been reminding her in the past.

"I'm so glad, Miss Huang Quan, that you've returned safely."

Looking at the closed Second Divine Key, Otto was very happy to face Yomi and the beacon in her hand.

Compared to Otto, Huang Quan was much more confused. She had no idea what had happened; she had just suddenly gone in and suddenly came out.

However, she still chose to follow the voice's instructions.

She had a feeling that the owner of the voice was equally important to her.

"Um..."

Although it's unclear why the negotiators didn't bring Durandal along and instead gave the items to Yomi, it didn't really matter to Otto.

"Miss Huang Quan, as agreed, could you please return what you have in your possession..."

Otto was about to say something to fool Huang Quan when she interrupted him.

“This clause is not in our deal.”

Huang Quan's cold voice left Otto somewhat helpless, but he didn't care.

"It's alright, my friend, we can make a new deal. After all, the Second Divine Key probably won't be of much use to you..."

Otto was implying something.

The Second Divine Key is located at Schicksal headquarters, so it already belongs to Schicksal. Huang Quan cannot take it with him, and having only the authority and beacon is not very meaningful.

Unless Huang Quan intends to forcibly activate the second divine key and fall into the quantum sea.

If Huang Quan really wanted to do that, she would have run away long ago.

Huang Quan remained unmoved by Otto's words, while Otto waved his hand, and Kohaku, who was standing nearby, took the Seven Thunders and the Jizo Soul and handed them to her.

Neither of these two Divine Keys, Destiny, have the right to be used, so there's no need to keep them forcibly, especially since they were promised to be returned to Huang Quan.

Taking the two knives, Huang Quan spoke:

"Exchange the permissions and beacon of the Second Divine Key for the Tranquility Gem."

Huang Quan's directness actually relieved Otto. If Huang Quan had a purpose, he could feel more at ease. But if Huang Quan handed it over to him without asking for anything or discussing anything, Otto would undoubtedly suspect a trap.

"this..."

Although that was what he thought, Otto's face showed hesitation. After pondering for a long time, he sighed helplessly.

"The Gem of Tranquility is also very precious to us, but..."

"That's fine."

Huang Quan watched Otto's performance quietly, unmoved.

Although they could both see through each other, Huang Quan still cooperated and didn't expose his secret.

"What do you intend to do with the Serenity Gem? Create a Herrscher?"

After Otto sent Amber to retrieve it, he asked Huang Quan in a low voice.

"Nothing to do with you."

Huang Quan said in an icy tone.

Huang Quan was naturally not going to be friendly to Otto, who was using her mother as a threat. Each time she slashed him, it was already the result of her patience.

After obtaining the box containing the Tranquility Gem, Huang Quan transferred the access to the Second Divine Key and the beacon to Otto.

After examining the permissions, beacon, and data of the Second Divine Key, Otto could not hide the expression on his face.

His guess was right; the second Divine Key contained most of the information he wanted.

"Miss Huang Quan, do you need me to take you back? From now on, you will be the Valkyrie Huang Quan of Destiny, but your rank will probably only be set at A-rank."

Otto had no intention of discarding Huang Quan after he had served his purpose. Given Huang Quan's combat strength, a fight at the Destiny headquarters would be extremely costly for him and would not be of much use.

"No need."

The moment the black and red scabbard in Huang Quan's hand touched the steel ground, a flash of red light appeared, and a dozen seconds later, a Destiny unmanned aircraft flew over.

When Otto saw this, his eyes flickered.

See you next time, my friend.

Otto waved goodbye to the underworld.

Although Huang Quan ignored him, Otto was still very enthusiastic.

The second Divine Key had given his plan a framework, providing a guarantee for whatever might happen next.

........

Paradise of the Past

The pink-haired girl kept pouting after she came back, looking very unhappy.

She couldn't help Su outside because of her health issues, but Su inside Paradise was perfectly healthy. She believed that with some help, Su inside Paradise would definitely be able to remember some things.
