Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Hey—that bastard Sirin, get the hell out of here—!"

The black abyss and white flower roof shattered the door, and the blonde knight princess pounced on the purple doll on the bedside table with a clear purpose—she was grabbed by the neck while the latter looked at her with a "what the hell, why aren't you playing by the rules" expression.

"It's starting—the Kaslana family's idiot routine, this Valkyrie even tried to strangle a doll that doesn't need to breathe!"

The Queen began her classic sarcasm—"Sorry, dolls really can do whatever they want," and then Durandal's next words silenced her instantly....

"Oh? Is that so? What if I snap your neck—!"

The blonde, super-strong gorilla announced her death.

“…”

"Bella, help me!!!"

Seeing the Queen, seemingly about to be decapitated, and the ferocious blonde superhuman, Bella immediately chose to play dead and watch the show... Saving them was out of the question; they were just puppets anyway, even if they were decapitated, they could still live...

When a body that can move on its own is combined with a separate head that can speak, it's anyone's guess who will find annoying.

Just as Bella was about to feign death and go down to watch the show, letting the scene take a bizarre turn... the rabbit ears on the doll's head were grabbed by Miss Rita, who followed her in, and lifted up...

“Miss Benares————”

The maid deliberately dragged out her words, creating a sense of oppression...

"The chicken nuggets in the kitchen... were stolen by you, Miss Benares? And you even broke a window?"

Rita, who originally didn't want to get involved in the Kaslana family's internal conflict, saw the messy "battlefield" after returning to the kitchen and her blood pressure immediately doubled.

The maid smiled as she looked at the armed dolls in front of her. Although the criminal gang composed of the two dolls had cleaned up the mess, the smell on their bodies couldn't be faked... it was the smell of fried food!

Thanks to their small size, the armed dolls could sneak through ventilation ducts and other means to reach every corner of the base. However, their petite size also meant that when carrying items, they inevitably came into close contact with their clothes and picked up their scents...

The clever Miss Rita has seen through everything—

"Chicken nuggets??? Miss Rita, you've got it wrong—we stole fried chicken legs from the Valkyrie Cafeteria—!!!"

Benares, the doll whose rabbit ears had been grabbed, began to shake it vigorously. Even if you are a senior and guide in the way of maids, you can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air—anyway, there are always leftovers in your Destiny Dining Hall every day, so what's wrong with stealing a little!

"Lady Kiana, you must do justice for me—!"

The struggling dragon girl doll saw Kiana arrive late and began to cry for help—

"...What happened?"

A completely bewildered Kiana stared at the group facing off on the field...

"Sis, put Celine down! She's a doll! Even if you twist her head off, she could be a headless knight, a thing that talks while holding its head!"

Upon hearing this, Bianca thought about the scene and felt it was a bit terrifying, so she immediately released the Sirin doll that was being held in her hand.

“Miss Rita, you should also let go of Bella… Bella wouldn’t lie about something that concerns her reputation. In her own words, she should be the pride of the dragon race?”

Kiana scratched her head, a little confused... Is the Dragon-shaped Judgment-class Honkai Beast considered a Honkai Beast card or a Dragon card?

Rita glanced at Bella, who was about to bite, and finally released her grip on Bella's ear.

.......

"So here's the question... who could that 'thief' be...? Normally it would probably be Stan..."

"But that's impossible now. Lord Durandal is afraid that Stan might cause trouble before he can turn back or learn to speak human language, so we've been keeping him by our side."

"Hmm, Miss Kiana's two little ones... thinking about it carefully, they really can't eat this much food in their current condition."

"That was prepared based on the appetites of Durandal and Kiana... No matter how I look at it, it seems impossible to fit it into the stomach of a doll like you..."

Having determined the location of the lost item, Rita proactively cleared the two suspects of involvement, leaving the group puzzled about who could have done it...

Until a scream interrupted their thoughts—

"Help! His Holiness the Bishop has fainted!!!"

"????"

"Otto fainted...?!"

Kiana's expression became even more bewildered as she heard the shouts coming from upstairs...

"Let's go up and see for ourselves—we don't care who the thief is for now... We've never encountered a bishop fainting before."

......

Not long after the group finished instructing Bella and Stan to stay in the room and not wander around, and then hurriedly slipped upstairs... a blue, six-legged, unidentified cat-like creature rolled in with a purring.

The little blue animal, with several report-like documents dangling from its mouth, swallowed them all with a few smacking sounds. Bella, incredibly lucky, caught a glimpse of the signatures at the bottom of these processed documents—

Otto Apocalypse

"I think I've figured out why the Archbishop of Destiny fainted... and maybe I've even figured out why Miss Rita's ingredients disappeared?"

Benares's lips twitched as he watched the strange blue creature pat its belly contentedly and wave a friendly wave at him before leaping out of the window...

Meanwhile, at the World Serpent Base not far away, the group that had witnessed everything through the camera on Gapo was slamming their fists on the table and laughing hysterically...

"Hahahaha, Jackal, look at that Bishop Otto's expression when his processed documents were eaten—"

"Hahahahaha-"

"Alright, stop fooling around... Kapo will bring back the swallowed documents. The work of calming you down and organizing them is up to you—"

The duo, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly fell silent—this is a perfect example of how excessive joy can turn into sorrow.

Chapter 282 The same trick won't work.

In the pure white space, the blonde girl's figure stood with her back to Imotek... no matter how she struggled, she received no response... and strangely enough, no matter how she moved, she remained facing away from him...

"Go do what you're supposed to do—"

Just as the girl was about to give up, the golden humanoid suddenly turned its head and looked at the white-haired girl. It was a face she knew all too well—

The golden figure pressed its right hand, which emitted a strange light, against the girl's chest and pushed it in forcefully—

"Go and fulfill the unfulfilled wishes of those who have not yet done so—"

...

"Phew...it's that strange dream again..."

The white-haired girl woke up at her desk, her brows furrowed.

"My lord...this is the report brought back by that cat-like creature—"

Gray Serpent pushed open the door and stood before the girl's desk, carrying a stack of intelligence reports...

"Thank you for your trouble, Gray Snake... Just leave it on the table, I'll take a look at it later."

----------------

"Hmm... Conduct the second testing plan in Changkong City. If possible, reach a deal with the leader of the World Serpent, and hand over the position of Bishop of Destiny to Theresa or Snow, and hold the succession ceremony at the old Destiny headquarters to reunify Destiny..."

"Huh? Lift all warrants and bounties for Qigefei and restore his legitimate status and position in Schicksal? Gift a European spa resort and an old Imperial research institute to Walter Joyce and Dr. Einstein...."

"Tsk tsk, Father, you're really thinking ahead... or is this your apology?"

"That's quite Otto's style, isn't it? Following his plan, he's not afraid of being hung up and beaten to death..."

Imotek pursed his lips, looked at the documents and reports that the two unlucky old men, who had been gloating over their misfortunes, had cleaned up, and nodded thoughtfully.

...

"Any new information from our spies within the Western Heavenly Mandate, Gray Serpent—"

She looked up at Mr. Gray Snake, the most reliable intelligence officer present...

"Yes, yesterday this strange creature called Gapo caused a lot of chaos in Schicksal. Bishop Otto officially claimed that he only woke up this morning, and the experiment originally scheduled for 10 o'clock in Schicksal was delayed until 12 o'clock in the main text because of his absence. But in reality, the plan was carried out ahead of schedule—"

"The S-rank Valkyrie Durandal engaged in a nearly two-hour combat duel with the Second Herrscher Kiana at the Schicksal training grounds last night. The Schicksal bishop is expected to have completed collecting data on her. — News from Lord Kevin came from the Eye of the Abyss: Miss Bronya accepted a gift from a god and became a Herrscher, and a former hero has also returned from history."

"And Otto had a private conversation for a few minutes with Kiana Kaslana, the Second Herrscher you are very interested in, but the room was soundproofed and shielded, so the content is unknown, and Ms. Kiana didn't seem willing to reveal too much."

"It must be something between Siegfried and Cecilia or Durandal... There's nothing much to worry about."

The girl waved her hand, not caring about it at all...

"Where's Kapo?"

"Following the Jackal and Raven's plan, they've sneaked back into Schicksal's base, sir."

"Heh, hopefully that Siamese cat named Stan won't be traumatized..."

--

The white-haired girl, amidst the yellow sand, gazed at the distant Destiny Base where alarms were sounding and took her first step—

The mechs and creations from World Serpents broke free of their cloaking and disguises, and began to surround Schicksal's base.

......

"What is this... a father-daughter game? Or a grandfather-granddaughter game?"

Looking at the Valkyrie of the Undying Blade, wielding various weapons and atop the outer wall of the base, and at "Kevin Kaslana" standing in mid-air above the Schicksal base, Durandal, holding the Black Abyss White Flower, gave a self-deprecating smile.

The blade of the Blade of Annihilation was illuminated, its intense heat melting the yellow sand into a glassy state. The sword-wielding warrior, surrounded by numerous mechs and World Serpent creations, stood before the Undying Blade of Destiny squad...

“We meet again, Bianca Durandal Atagina; I have come to fulfill my promise—and I hope you are ready.”

"Before seeking the truth, let me witness your courage and determination..."

...

She is strong, stronger than any opponent I have ever seen, whether in actual combat or in virtual battles created by Destiny using enemies from my memories. She is strong enough to be called the strongest. Durandal thought to herself as she looked at "Keven Kaslana" floating in mid-air.

This woman is stronger than when we last met. Has she broken through to a higher level? Or was her last duel with Raiden Mei and me just a casual outing to relax...?

"Never mind, whether it's a wolf or a tiger, let's fight it first—"

Durandal planted the Black Abyss White Flower in the ground and looked up at the white-haired girl in the sky.

"Hey, Miss Kaiwen, are you sure you want to fight here using the Divine Key? There are innocent people here, you know—"

"Hmph... You've got plenty of clever tricks up your sleeve—fine, as you wish."

The white-haired warrior extinguished the flames from his sword, deactivated its greatsword form, and tucked it back into his belt. Watching Durandal, now in Valkyrie armor, charge towards him, he stretched his elbows.

"It's too sweet!!! Sometimes, weapons are just limiters for warriors."
