Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Otto truly admired Luze.

This admiration comes from the heart, without a trace of falsehood.

As the Bishop of Destiny, he had seen all sorts of people—devout believers, loyal warriors, ambitious politicians, and mad researchers.

But no one could do what this young man did: make a Herrscher become like a docile kitten.

Otto heard everything Sirin said in the shadows.

To his surprise, after she finished speaking, she actually stopped and secretly glanced at Lu Ze.

A Herrscher chosen by the will of Honkai, an experimental subject who has been immersed in pain and hatred for years, actually cares about the opinion of an ordinary human being at the solemn moment of announcing divine punishment upon the entire human civilization.

A healer with humanity.

Based on this alone, Otto felt that Luze deserved his most solemn greetings.

This was a goal that Otto had pursued for many years.

While the Lawgiver of Reason certainly possesses humanity, it's a pity he has already regarded himself as an enemy.

In Otto's view, power that cannot be used for one's own benefit is equivalent to having no power at all.

"Otto Apocalypse?" Luze recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

He was able to recognize it because he had read the script.

Although the information sent by Xing did not include a photo of Otto, it did describe his appearance in detail.

And he solemnly reminded Lu Ze: When you see Otto, don't waste words with him, just beat him up.

Xilin is the kind of person who doesn't waste words with him.

Her golden eyes turned cold the moment they saw Otto, and a pure killing intent surged deep within her pupils.

After all... she had read the script.

The information Xing sent to Lu Ze's phone was written very clearly:

Otto Apocalypse, the Archbishop of Destiny, the highest-ranking official of the Babylonian Laboratory, and the instigator of the Second Honkai Impact.

All the orders—locking her in solitary confinement, injecting her with Honkai energy, and making her watch helplessly as her friends died one by one—came from this man.

She raised her hand, and a spear of the void instantly materialized in her palm.

The spear was wreathed in distorted spatial ripples, its tip pointing directly at Otto's chest.

With a whoosh, the Spear of Subspace appeared directly in front of Otto's chest, arriving in an instant.

clang!

A crisp metallic clang echoed across the top of the tower.

The Spear of the Void was precisely deflected by a lance less than half a meter from Otto, and the purplish-black energy fragments scattered in the air before being swallowed by the cold wind of the snowfield.

A silver-haired Valkyrie silently stood in front of Otto, her lance held horizontally in front of her chest, its tip reflecting a cold, white light.

Her posture was upright and elegant, and her long white hair fluttered in the wind like a cloak.

Appearing with her was another Valkyrie with short gray hair, slender in figure, wearing a dark, form-fitting combat suit, her posture so steady it seemed as if her feet had been rooted to this tower top for a thousand years.

The two men flanked Otto, one blocking his attacks from the front and the other guarding his flanks. Their teamwork was so seamless that they didn't need to exchange any words.

Celine's gaze fell on the lance, then shifted to the face of the person wielding it. Before she could make a judgment, Otto's voice drifted from behind the two Valkyries' guards.

"Why the rush, Herrscher of the Void?"

Otto wore a calm smile and spoke in a friendly tone, as if he were catching up with an old friend.

He didn't even glance at the Void Spear that had been flung to the ground.

"We'll have plenty of time to talk later. For now, let me chat with this traveler from another world a little longer."

These words were spoken casually, but every word proclaimed his victory.

He completely disregarded Sirin, conveying a clear message: everything here was under his control.

"roar--"

Bella let out a low dragon roar. Her light blue eyes had turned into vertical pupils, her short, light purple hair stood on end, and visible purple Honkai energy began to surge from her body.

She would not tolerate any disrespect towards Her Majesty the Queen. Her body began to swell, and crystalline scales appeared on her skin.

Luze reached out and placed his hand in front of Bella.

"calm."
