Collapse, Kaslana's Way of Survival

"Everyone?" Theresa's voice sounded again, "Including me?"

"Yes, everyone," Otto said with a smile, "and that naturally includes you, my little Theresa."

"And coincidentally, I know the method to enter this stigmata space."

Chapter 190 Decision of Family Gathering

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Kainuo frowned and said, "Just tell me, how do we get into that space?"

"Hmm... there are many ways?" Otto said uncertainly. "For example, one of the Kaslana family's ancestors could actively pull their consciousness in, or they could use the Herrscher of the Void's power to enter directly in person after knowing the coordinates."

"Of course, the initiative in the former case is undoubtedly not in our hands. I believe you will not choose this method either. Then the answer is very obvious..."

"Wait, Otto, what do you mean?!" Siegfried, who had just calmed down a little, became nervous and even alert again. "Regarding Kiana, you haven't given up yet?"

He clenched his fists and stared at the cell phone floating in the air.

Perhaps it was out of shame for not being able to protect Bianca and Kayno, or perhaps it was because the self-destructive woman at the time desperately needed the warmth of family, or perhaps it was simply a matter of time and affection. In short, in the years he had spent with Kiana, he had long since stopped simply viewing her as a clone of the Second Herrscher and instead considered her his own daughter.

It was precisely because of his feelings for Kiana that Siegfried abandoned young Kiana and took the initiative to stay away from her in order to prevent her from becoming a Herrscher after seeing him.

But now Otto almost told him that if he wanted to witness the real answer, he had to push the girl into the fire pit?

What a joke!

"Oh, Siegfried, you must have misunderstood something." With the emphasis that only a man of fun could muster, Otto smiled and said, "I admit that I haven't given up on my plan over the years—"

"Grandpa, you..."

"Until one day ago."

Stopping Theresa's questioning, Otto smiled and continued.

"Siegfried, I really don't know what kind of magical power the combination of your genes and Cecilia's has. Not only your biological daughter, but your biological son is also far more outstanding than you can imagine."

"It's not just about suppressing you. It's about the power of the First Herrscher, the power of the Second Herrscher, and possibly the power of the Fourth Herrscher. If he's hiding his strength, there must be other things he hasn't revealed yet."

"But in terms of strength and control over power, he is far superior to Sirin. In this case, why should I continue to hold on to Kiana?"

With his eyes wide open, Siegfried looked at Kaino in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me?" Siegfried looked back at his phone with a skeptical tone. "That's the power of the Herrscher, and there's more than one... How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible," Otto said decisively. "Hasn't there been a demonstration of this before us?"

It is indeed right in front of us.

After taking a look at his colleague's imaginary hole where the Herrscher of the Void appeared and the gradually projected Alahato figurine, Siegfried sighed in conviction.

After casually shutting off the imaginary cave and the figurine, Kayno glanced at Siegfried, who was leaning against the wall and kept muttering, "I'm old and my children have grown up," and said to his phone, "Give me the coordinates to the imaginary space."

"Also, you mentioned before that the imaginary space should be a trial, right? If it's a trial, then failure should have a price... What is the price?"

"You have so little confidence in yourself?" Otto asked in surprise. "With you here, there's no way I can fail, right? Besides, if I fail, why not just run away?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

"I do not know."

"..."

"I really don't know." Otto said helplessly, "I'm just an ordinary person. It's normal not to know some things, right?"

"Besides, according to the records of the Void Myriad Treasures and the World Serpent, only a handful of Kaslana people are able to participate in the trial, and even fewer have successfully passed it. Under these circumstances, it's already quite good that I was able to find its location, okay?"

Kaino rubbed his temple with a headache.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now—except for the part about you being an ordinary person." He sighed, put his hand down, and looked back at his phone. "Tell me the coordinates. I'll go with my dad."

"Wait!" Theresa couldn't stand it anymore and started making a fuss on the other end of the phone, "I want to go too!"

"Grandpa just said that, right? I can enter that space too!"

After a slight hesitation, Kainuo nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Although it is a bit suicidal to bring two parents to the stigmata space where my dark history may be stored, it doesn't matter if I bring one with me.

Anyway, Bianca probably doesn't...

"And Bianca!" Theresa added excitedly, "Why don't we just go together? It'll be a long-awaited family reunion!"

Kaino slapped his forehead twice with a look of regret.

"As for Bianca, I also suggest letting her go," Otto added. "That child's talent definitely has the potential to improve further. If she successfully passes the trial, there will be many benefits."

After a moment's hesitation, Kayno sighed and agreed, "Okay."

In terms of authority alone, Otto was clearly much superior to his great aunt.

Moreover, if successfully passing this trial could really help his sister awaken the stigma and further improve her past strength, then he would naturally not refuse.

If Bianca had more tricks up her sleeve, he would be so happy.

"Great!" Theresa's joy was palpable even through the phone. "Then I'll fly to see you right now... and bring Cecilia's gift with me!"

"Okay, okay." After dealing with his aunt, Kainuo continued, "Otto, send me the coordinates."

"Okay, no problem." Otto agreed happily. "But before that, Keno, do you feel like you've forgotten something?"

"What did you forget?" Kainuo frowned. "I've paid Bianca and Xi'er, so they can go wherever they want. The toilet where my dad and I had the fight has also been repaired, so I don't need Tianming to compensate. As for the mission..."

Kainuo slapped his head and stood up suddenly.

"Second God's Key!"

"Huh, you finally remembered." Otto was relieved. "So, before I send you the coordinates, could you please find me the Second God Key first?"

Siegfried, who was standing by, widened his eyes when he heard the conversation between the two and quickly said, "By the way, I came here with Walter this time. Our goal is to find the target before you... Is that okay?"

When it comes to matters involving his own children, he no longer cares whether his actions will sell out his teammates.

And even without mentioning Walter's admirable survivability, with his assistance in destiny, Otto would not be able to catch the other party easily.

"You don't need me to tell you; I already knew it," Otto said. "While you were fighting Kaynor, another of our operatives had a run-in with him, and he stole the soul steel we had finally found."

"I'll go get it back." Kainuo said without hesitation.

"Haha, that's not necessary." Otto's voice was filled with an inexplicable smile. "If I'm not mistaken, that piece of soul steel is most likely a trap. Well, let my old friend suffer a little."

"I've already figured out the true location of the Second God's Key. Keno, go gather Bianca and Seele. Theresa and I will come to your location later and then we'll take action."

After exchanging a glance with Siegfried, Keno nodded.

"Okay, I see."

……

Meanwhile, near Glastonbury, Glastonbury Tor.

Walter Yang, who had a rich knowledge reserve, quickly came to this place after using his power to analyze the information in the soul steel.

After looking around, Walter Yang nodded: "This should be it."

A Titan mecha was directly projected to clear the surrounding weeds. Looking at the underground secret door hidden behind the torre, Walter narrowed his eyes.

"Sure enough, this must be the place where the warriors of the previous civilization used to prevent the Second God Key."

Let the Titan smash it open, and Walter Yang jumped in without hesitation.

Looking at this scene, the gray snake standing far away put down the telescope.

“Unexpected.”

"Although it wasn't the intended target, it was a pleasant surprise—Raven, a fish has taken the bait."

Chapter 191 Giant Locomotive

On the second day, at the hotel where Kainuo and his group were staying.

"...In this way, we can confirm the spatial layer where the Second God Key is located."

Standing in front of a group of Valkyries, Otto, like a teacher, pointed at the plan on the light screen with the pointer in his hand, cleared his throat and looked at everyone.

"Do you understand?"

"Rita understands." Rita, the only good student who listened attentively in class, nodded seriously.

Otto twitched his lips and looked at Theresa, whose attention was completely not on him and who kept glancing at Bianca beside her from time to time.

"Little Theresa, repeat what Grandpa just said."

"Ah? Ah!" Theresa came back to her senses with a start, turned her head to look at Otto, and after she figured out his question, she smiled foolishly twice, and twisted her body a little embarrassedly.

"Well, Grandpa. After all, I traveled a long way and took a long flight to get here. I was so tired that I didn't remember it!"

With a sigh, Otto turned his head and looked at his favorite disciple who had been hanging his head.

"What about you, Bianca? I see you've been looking downcast. Is something bothering you?"

"...That's right." After hesitating for a moment, Bianca said, "Yesterday I heard Rita say that she met a very smart Honkai Beast kitten that could grow and shrink, so she adopted it as a pet."

"But Rita and I searched for a long time this morning and couldn't find one... By the way, Bishop, can you help me raise one?"

Looking at Bianca's expectant eyes, Otto grabbed the collar of his clothes, looking like he was having a myocardial infarction.

"No, I don't know much about Honkai beasts." Otto said unhappily.

He knew that Bianca liked small animals, especially kittens, but wasn't this a bit too much?

Ignoring Bianca's disappointed face, Otto wisely and automatically passed over Siegfried and Seele who looked like they were in a trance, and focused his attention on Kaino who was shaking his head.

With a hint of anticipation in his heart, he asked, "Kaino, what are you thinking about?"

Kaino was stunned and glanced at the lost Bianca beside him: "I'm thinking about how to make a cat-shaped Honkai Beast that can grow and shrink."

Bianca's eyes lit up in frustration.

With a snap, the teaching stick in Otto's hand broke.

Kaino shrugged innocently.

Before Bianca lost her memory, she had a kitten named Charlie. He had considered giving her a cat, but he didn't do it because he wasn't sure if her hobbies would remain exactly the same after losing her memory. Unexpectedly, his sister not only remained the same, but now even set her sights on the cat-shaped Honkai Beast.

But with Bella around, he didn't seem to have the right to say anything...

That was why he was considering the cat-shaped Honkai Beasts - although some of the dozen or so Emperor-level Honkai Beasts he had caught in the Seaside World Bubble did resemble cats, they could not grow or shrink after all.

Well, I'll ask Otto for help later.

Or please Klein.

Thinking of this, Kainuo looked at the number one target who was leaning against the wall with a look of despair, and raised a new question.

"Also," Kayno said, "Otto, you said before that the Second God Key was hidden in the interlayer of space, so we had to go look for it. But why go to so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just let me use my power to find it?"

Finally hearing a slightly more serious answer, Otto showed a relieved expression on his face.

"We're finally in the light." As if by magic, Otto produced another pointer and continued with a smile, "Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent are hiding somewhere, and we need to be on guard against their attacks. In this situation, as one of the main combat forces, you need to conserve your strength."

Kaino blinked.

In fact, his endurance is ridiculously strong.

"And we can't be sure whether the Second God's Key is guarded by someone or something else. This is one of the reasons why you need to conserve your strength," said Otto.

Kainuo nodded perfunctorily.

Otto looked down at the watch on his wrist and confirmed that the time was almost up. He excitedly threw away the pointer in his hand and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself.

"Alright, Valkyries of Destiny," Otto said with a smile, "The capture of the Second God's Key begins now!"

"Hey," Siegfried said, somewhat dissatisfied, "I'm not the man of destiny now!"

……

London, England.

After the residents had been evacuated under legitimate pretexts, Tianming's various specialized mechas completely occupied the streets and alleys. If an uninformed person saw this, they might have mistaken it for a filming location for an alien invasion of Earth.

Although he does not have the power of the Ruler of Reason, Otto can do things similar to Walter Yang with his financial resources.

And just when all the mechas began to work according to Otto's instructions, Kayno was chatting with a few people.

"So, Tianming suffered a heavy loss in the end?" asked Kayno.

"Yes." Rita nodded, her expression unchanged. "Miss Catherine's savings are a drop in the bucket compared to the British Museum's losses. So, even though we successfully found evidence of her collusion with the World Serpent and exposed her, Destiny will still have to pay a hefty compensation."

"According to Lady Amber, the funding for Bishop Karen's new fantasy work may be cut again."
