Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit.

Chapter 463 Otto's Three-Man Men's Team in Xiru City

The bonfire party left a bright crimson glow in the night, which complemented the colorful neon lights of Mingdu, creating a blend of classical and modern styles.

This event is more like a carnival for young people. After all, young people prefer new and interesting things, and getting together with a few friends is more fun than any game in the world.

In a corner of the grand event, Xu Tianran hosted a banquet in the evening, which was attended not only by celebrities from Mingdu, but also from all over the world and even the mainland.

Since the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, Mingdu has been hosting banquets almost every night.

Xu Tianran enjoyed the power of being adored by thousands. Wherever he went, he was the absolute center of attention, as if he wanted to vent all the gloom that had accumulated because of his physical disability.

Otto watched his revelry with a smile. All of Xu Tianran's bones had been replaced by liquid metal mimicking the Void Treasury.

Each of his nerves contained specially made mental energy metal particles, and through these nerves, Otto understood his body better than Xu Tianran.

Otto knew perfectly well how much energy his body had taken in and how much it had consumed that day, and how much waste his cells had metabolized.

If Otto so desired, Xu Tianran's heart would immediately stop beating, his spinal cord would immediately sever the information transmission to his brain, rendering the body's limbs unable to perceive the brain, turning it into a flesh and blood coffin.

His meridians would become disordered, preventing his soul power from circulating, and even with his title as a Douluo, he couldn't use a single bit of soul power.

Otto always had endless patience for a dead man, and as long as he didn't make any fundamental mistakes, he would let Xu Tianran revel however he wanted.

The reason he has been able to live until now is entirely because Kong Deming is still alive. As long as Kong Deming is alive, the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire all have a mastermind.

With the main brain removed, Xu Tianran would lose his usefulness. All the nobles of Sun and Moon would be under Otto's control. The Magic Network was indeed a good thing, in every aspect.

Once Xu Tianran dies, the Holy Spirit Cult will clash with the Sun and Moon Nobles. According to Otto's prediction, the empire will experience a month of turmoil once these nobles die.

Otto's manpower and the purge squad led by Root will complete the occupation and control of the three major power ecosystems—political, military, and economic—within a month.

The next step was to gradually transform the empire into a federal system, abolishing the imperial system. Karen didn't like the imperial system, so Otto would change it until Karen came to like it here.

The Heavenly Soul and Star Luo will surely be shaken, even frightened, and will definitely send troops to intervene, because overthrowing the imperial system is tantamount to digging up their roots. The magic network is so developed that any thought can spread wildly on it.

The Amon family will seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Xingluo and Tianhun, and Kerudela will also cooperate by throwing matches and frantically demanding resources from the two empires, so that the two empires will have no time to deal with the Sun Moon Empire.

It's pointless to meddle. Let them have their love-hate relationship with the Amon family. After the Sun Moon Empire is over, it'll be the two of them.

In a magnificent banquet hall, Xu Tianran, whom Otto sees as a puppet and a dead man, is hosting a banquet for guests. The guests have changed their etiquette towards him to that of an emperor, which makes Xu Tianran quite proud.

"Ms. Himeko, I have long heard that the soul guidance technology in Xilu City is very advanced."

After talking with you today, I truly feel that Japan and the Moon are lagging behind in education.

The system of monthly and weekly exams could be introduced into the academies of the Sun Moon Empire.

Himeko, dressed in a formal gown, is talking to Kong Deming.

Himeko was somewhat surprised that Kong Deming took the initiative to strike up a conversation, because according to the intelligence, Kong Deming rarely attended banquets, let alone took the initiative to talk to others.

"That's not how it works, Your Majesty. Every country has its own national conditions. The specific approach to education should be tailored to the specific circumstances. Blindly copying others will only backfire."

Himeko wore a proper smile, and every move she made was full of grace. Kong Deming shook his head and sighed, "Ms. Himeko is right. She is indeed a professor at the Xilu City Research Institute."

"The Sun Moon Empire has gone too far astray in the field of soul tools."

Only by understanding the soul guidance philosophy of Xilu City can one understand why young people today admire it so much.

"Even some of my students have gone there. Perhaps the education system of the Sun Moon Empire really needs a real reform."

When Kong Deming mentioned his students, his tall figure seemed to age considerably. Many of his students had left, and before leaving, they had sent him farewell letters.

Those letters were like sharp blades piercing his chest, and many of them contained messages from young people he had high hopes for. These letters indicated that the Sun Moon Empire was unable to retain talent.

He didn't understand why Xilu City was so attractive to them until he saw the panoramic map of Douluo Star that Xuan Ziwen sent him, and then he suddenly understood.

If I were a hundred years younger and heard that some places had already sent soul guides into space and created artificial brains capable of performing trillions of calculations per second, I wouldn't be able to resist going there to take a look.

That place especially values ​​talent; as long as you have ability, resources are almost unlimited.

Kong Deming didn't know what the Sun Moon Empire would become. He felt that the empire, like himself, was an old man on his deathbed.

This wasn't just the case for this empire; other empires were the same. The world was changing too fast, and the empires couldn't keep up with the times.

Just then, Xu Tianran walked over with a wine glass in his hand. Ji Zi bowed slightly to him, and Xu Tianran, beaming with pride, waved his hand and said, "There's no need for such formalities at the banquet. Lady Ji Zi is a distinguished guest from Xilu City. If others see this, they might think that the Sun Moon Empire is a barbarian who disrespects its guests."

"I've heard that Professor Walter and Prime Minister Otto are old friends? Ms. Himeko, could you tell me about their past? I'm truly curious."

Otto may have abused him a thousand times, but he still treats Otto like his first love. If Otto weren't a man, Xu Tianran would have married him regardless of the circumstances.

As the man who restored his health and helped him regain his throne, Otto was like a white moonlight in Xu Tianran's eyes.

"Old friend—" Himeko's lips twitched involuntarily. Welt wished he could kill Zaoto in the academy.

Xu Tianran looked puzzled and said, "Prime Minister Otto often praises Professor Walter in front of me. Their relationship is so good that it's like that of father and son. I can feel that it's a genuine expression of affection."

"Could it be that I've misunderstood something?"

Himeko controlled her facial muscles and said with a smile, "There's no misunderstanding."

"They used to be teammates in an all-male boy band —"

"Achoo!" Walter suddenly sneezed while sitting in the bathtub. Amidst the swirling mist, a hand reached out. Walter's eyes narrowed immediately. "Otto, if you want to be torn apart by a black hole, then reach out."

Otto withdrew his hand and said, "Isn't this concern for my old friend?"

"Is the water in the pool not hot enough? I can ask someone to add some more. I'll feel really guilty if you catch a cold."

O

Looking at Otto's sincere face, Walter really wanted to punch him. This guy was definitely talking bad about him again. The naturally evil brat Otto couldn't possibly have any good intentions.

If he really caught a cold, Otto would definitely bring him medicine, and Walter didn't even need to think about what was in that medicine!

If it weren't for the boss's prohibition against killing each other, he would have loved to watch Otto swim in the black hole.

Kiritsugu Emiya, standing to the side, was shirtless, his face flushed red from the intense heat and steam.

"This place can't withstand the two of you causing trouble, Bishop Otto. What did you call us here for?"

Otto shrugged and said, "Walter has always had some misunderstandings about me."

I think taking a bath together can enhance the relationship between the three of us. We are the West City Men's Team, and we hope to collaborate more in the future.

Karen even prepared a show for us; I think the three of us could debut as big stars.

Walter sneered, "Where's the misunderstanding?"

"A whole men's group? I'd rather drink from the Mother's Drowned Spring and join the West Lu City Maids' Troupe to dance the Star Luo Empire's Breaking Formation Dance than be with you."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, Otto. I can tell you're up to no good just by the way you raise your hand."

"Tell me what you want to do."

"Look, we're so in sync, the three of us could be the best partners."

"I heard the top prize for the festival is a mecha model, don't you want to consider it?" Otto said with a smile.

The usually calm, collected, and extremely patient Walter was easily irritated in front of Otto, and he completely ignored the mecha model at this moment.

"Your capacity for disgust remains as high as ever. While I still have some patience, you'd better say what you have to say now."

Otto has stopped trying to get closer to Walter, and it seems he's been misunderstood by Walter again today.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. I did wrong Walter in the past, so I want to make up for it now.

"Alright, alright, actually I came to see you today to discuss the arrangements for the coronation ceremony."

"The protagonist of this ceremony is more Kong Deming than Xu Tianran; he must die, at all costs."

"Now we have the oath of Judah, which can disable their soul tools."

Soul masters without soul tools are like lambs to the slaughter; their strength is average, and they are not difficult to deal with.

However, there was another external factor: the Body Sect, led by Poison Undying, needed to act quickly, and its influence had to be eliminated.

A cold glint flashed in Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes as he said, "Kill them?"

"I can deploy level 9 fixed-position soul-guided shells along the path and work with the Root team to send them all into the sky."

Walter frowned and said, "This is not advisable. A battle with the Limit Douluo would severely damage Mingdu. There will be 20 million people here on the day of the coronation ceremony."

"I can stop them. If the resistance is too fierce, I will use gravity to throw them into the divine grace barrier. What to do after that is up to you."

Otto said, "Okay."

"We also need a giant illusion array, which must be powerful enough to influence Kong Deming, the Hall of Worship, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps for a certain period of time, so that they gather together."

After a moment's thought, Kiritsugu Emiya said, "There is a member of Root whose spirit is the Strange Mirror, which can create mirror spaces."

Through years of training, and with the help of another member's spirit grafting doll, the mirror space can be perfectly integrated with reality.

Finding another strong individual with a strong mental attribute would perfectly meet the requirements.

Otto said, "Using the simulated feather as the core of mental influence has an effect comparable to a titled Douluo-level mental attribute soul master."

The illusion array was set up near Mingguang Road, a place Xu Tianran would pass through, as would the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, Kong Deming, and the Hall of Worship.

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded and said, "That's perfect. If a Soul Master with a strange mirror has a large supply of Dream Coins, they can create a very realistic mirror image in a short time."

Its aura and behavior are identical to the original owner, except it cannot fight.

"Those who entered the illusion array were all true powerhouses from the Hall of Worship and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Corps. Apart from Xu Tianran, those who came out were all mirror images."

"These mirror images will continue to protect Xu Tianran as he completes his coronation ceremony."

Walter pondered for a moment and said, "Won't people notice? There are too many people."

Kiritsugu Emiya confidently stated, "The only ones who can tell in a short time are the Emperor, the Silver Dragon King, the auspicious beasts, the boss, and the Dragon Kings. They won't say anything."

"Furthermore, during the coronation ceremony, who would use their mental power to scan the soon-to-be emperor and his guards and retainers?"

Walter and Otto nodded, and Otto continued, "Then it's just some minor details."

"For example, regarding the seating arrangements, personnel deployment, and preparations for countermeasures against interference, since Amon happens to be here, he can serve as the backup plan —"
