Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

Compared to the carefree Kiana and Siegfried, Theresa and Durandal, who still held some lingering affection for Mr. Otto, looked at the "pile" of Mr. Otto on the ground and were puzzled...

"Snow?"

Miss Karen, standing nearby, also tilted her head to look at her completely unperturbed daughter...

"Ah... let me ask you this first, when did you beat Dad up like this?"

Miss Snow Apocalypse stared at the puddle of "Old Man" or rather, Soul Steel on the ground and asked a question.

"when....?"

The crowd below exchanged glances, and after a brief moment of thought, they came to a conclusion—

"Around the time Siegfried told us to beat up Otto, Otto seemed to have stopped making a move... Is there a problem, Snow?"

Theresa gave a reply, looking at Snow with some curiosity.

"Hmm... how should I put it?"

The blonde girl pondered for a moment, seemingly searching for a suitable answer...

Have you ever heard of the idiom "golden cicada shedding its shell"?

"Huh... Snow—you mean the Rakshasa ran away when someone was settling old scores?"

"He probably ran away... He had a reason not to run away from me and Mom—but with you guys, I think Dad only symbolically took a few hits from you before running away... especially since Dr. Tesla even used Titan to stomp on him—"

"Anyone would run away in this situation."

Snow Apocalypse shrugged, indicating that they were in too much of a hurry. They could settle old scores slowly, and if they were in such a rush, their father could easily renege on the deal another day.

"You're all too hasty. What will your father say to you later, 'You've already done this much to me, what more do you want...'"

"...?"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Tesla's eyes widened immediately—

"This bastard is bullying honest people—and how did that scoundrel run away?! No way, I'm going to go beat him up again!!"

"They're just bullying honest people... Why was it that back in the day, when Father managed Destiny, he always managed to outmaneuver you Anti-Entropy..."

"While historical background plays a role, the main reason is that we're taking advantage of your Anti-Entropy's honesty..."

"Look at the factions within your Anti-Entropy organization. Without my help, it would have taken who knows how long to oust that old fox..."

Snow looked at Dr. Tesla, who was also throwing a tantrum, with sympathy and shook his head helplessly.

"So, how did Otto manage to run away?!"

Dr. Tess, his face contorted with rage, glared at Miss Snow, his expression suggesting he'd unleash a torrent of abuse if she didn't reveal her father's whereabouts, completely oblivious to the difference in their combat strength...

"It's not that Dad ran away—there's probably more than one spare body for him in this town, and he even stole the core of the Herrscher of the Void..."

"Shifting consciousness and body is an easy thing..."

Snow, resting his head on his hands on the seat, struck a pose reminiscent of Commander Ikari, looking at the crowd before him.

"So...we still have to go looking?"

Having toiled all night, Einstein yawned listlessly, seemingly deciding to take a nap...

"If you still want to fight... well—and Miss Velvet, if you want a thousand Herrscher cores... you'll probably have to go and beat up all of Daddy's spare bodies one by one, like it's a lottery??"

"Anyway, you can think of something happy first... Our Miss Jiuxiao did something very unethical yesterday by hosting a live stream for all of Fate. Almost all the Valkyries in Fate were watching that show, and the viewership rating reached an astonishing 98%."

As if he had thought of something, Snow added a sentence to the crowd.

"Jiuxiao? What is she livestreaming?"

Theresa paused, somewhat confused, upon hearing this...

"Live broadcast of Otto being beaten by you guys—now the whole of Destiny knows that a 500-year-old man has ruined his reputation in his later years... Dr. Tesla, perhaps you can be happy about that?"

Snow turned to look at the still somewhat sulking Dr. Lobster Head...

"That's more like it—but this guy can really run fast. Should we keep looking for him today?"

Dr. Tesla waved his hand, still thinking about that man's steely face...

"Why are you always thinking about me, Otto...?"

"See this mechanical glove on my hand? I recently completed a miniaturized version of the Godfather's Overlord Fist—I'm going to name it the Magnetic Field Explosion Fist!"

"Perfect timing to test that unkillable guy Otto!"

Dr. Lobster Head excitedly waved his fist, sending a jolt of electricity and a whooshing sound through it, causing everyone's lips to twitch involuntarily.

"Let me ask you something first... if you had thrown that punch, would the town of Klossen still exist?"

"Huh? Of course it is—do you have some misunderstanding about the mini version of Godfather's Overlord Fist?"

"No... I just misunderstood your naming convention—it's not some kind of stronger, more powerful, or more domineering thing..."

"Anyway, do you want to rest for a bit? You've been up all night... Anyway, Mom's here, and Dad won't run away."

"It's not impossible—chasing that guy all night was exhausting, he can really run fast... Luckily, Miss Karen helped us."

Siegfried nodded, seemingly preparing to take a long nap first.

"By the way, has anyone seen Ancestor Kevin...?"

--

Meanwhile, in another part of the town of Klossen, at the former site of Kaslana's house—

Mr. Kevin, while strolling around, encountered a problem that wasn't too troublesome...

Mr. Otto, who had been nowhere to be seen, appeared before Mr. Kevin, seemingly seeking the approval of the patriarch of the Kaslana family...

"Reverend Kevin—please grant me your great-great-great-great-granddaughter, Miss Karen Kaslana, in marriage..."

"....?good."

Mr. Kevin, whose lips were twitching slightly, readily agreed to the request from his junior...

Mr. Otto was overjoyed to receive the promise.

...However—it seems a bit too early to be happy.

Good evening—I need votes!

“There’s one more thing—Otto Apocalypse…the Judgment of Heavenly Fire isn’t meant for you to use like that…”

Kevin, carrying the genuine Skyfire, slowly approached the blond man, seemingly intending to teach him just how many uses Skyfire could have...

"Uh... Ancestor, you...?"

Mr. Otto recalled the outrageous maneuvers he had performed the previous night using the mimicked Heavenly Fire from the Void Treasury, and a cold sweat broke out on his brow.

"Um—Mr. Kevin, I can explain!"

Mr. Otto, quick-witted in a moment of inspiration, immediately began his struggle.

"Oh? What's your explanation...?"

The white-haired man stopped approaching, expressionlessly scrutinizing Mr. Otto Apocalypse before him...

"What I used was the Heavenly Fire Judgment mimicked by the Void Treasury, which cannot be considered Heavenly Fire—therefore, the XX uses of Heavenly Fire Judgment are not applicable; what is applicable are the 100 applicable tips and tricks of the Void Treasury!"

“…”

Damn, why is this guy's argument so logical and well-founded...?

Kevin remained silent for a long time, but finally collected all the Heavenly Fire Judgment, intending to release this... his grandson-in-law...

Just as Mr. Otto breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had escaped unscathed... Mr. Kevin Kaslana's phone rang—

"Hello—is this Kevin's great-great-grandfather?"

The voice coming from the phone was Snow's.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Compared to Mr. Otto, Kevin seems to have more patience with his juniors...

"Of course, we'll call Grandpa Kevin back for breakfast!"

"I understand, I'll be there soon—"

Kevin nodded to the girl on the other end of the video call, preparing to hang up...

"Oh right—wait a minute!"

However, the girl on the other end of the communication interrupted Kevin's actions.

"What's wrong now?"

The white-haired man tilted his head in confusion.

"If you see Dad's words on the way—remember to tie them up and bring them back, okay?"

Upon hearing Snow's voice, Otto Apocalypse sensed something was terribly wrong... Just as Mr. Otto, deeply embracing the Apocalypse family motto of mutual sabotage, had the idea of ​​running away, a pair of merciless iron hands grabbed his head.

"Okay... I saw him, I'll bring him back to you in a bit."

Kevin held Otto's head in one hand while nodding to Snow on the other end of the video call.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Great-Great-Grandpa. See you later?"

See you later.

The call was disconnected, and Kevin turned to look at Mr. Otto, who was about to continue struggling...

"Stop making a fuss—my descendants want to see you, Otto Apocalypse."

"...Mr. Kevin, ancestor of Kaslana, have you ever heard of a certain word?"

"what?"

Carried by Kevin down the street, pointed at and whispered about by everyone in town, it was as if Mr. Otto, parading through the streets, had forced out a single word...

"eccentric."

"..."
