Otto waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Let Theresa go. Even if there are two Herrschers in Saint Freya, so what? Saint Freya is still Saint Freya, not Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy is now... just relying on their leader Walter to hold on."
"But... according to the information sent back by our spies in Saint Freya, Bronya Zajcek seems to have been designated as the next leader of Anti-Entropy. In this case, the relationship between Saint Freya and Anti-Entropy may become..."
"Don't worry so much, Amber. You should ask Ivar for more advice on this point." Otto said calmly, "The next leader of Anti-Entropy is just the next one after all. A child has no qualifications and no prestige in Anti-Entropy. How can she suppress other executors? By the way, how is Kallen doing recently?"
Ivar recently took a leave of absence. If he continues to work overtime, he will probably die from overwork. In addition, Amber is also keeping an eye on his work, so he has no time to slack off...
"As for Lady Kallen...she did want to look for you a few times, but left after hearing that you were working." Amber thought for a moment and said. Amber actually had complicated thoughts about Kallen. After all, she was a clone of Kallen. Whenever she met the real person and talked to him, she always felt that something was not right.
And then... Lady Kallen sometimes looked at me in a strange way.
"Is Karen looking for me?" Otto thought about the various reasons why Karen came to find him. He could see that Karen had become much more reserved than she was five hundred years ago. She used to come directly to him, but... well, five hundred years had passed, and the identities of both of them had changed a lot. Karen needed more time to adapt.
After thinking about Karen's recent actions for a while, Otto guessed why Karen was looking for him.
"I'd better go and see her myself. Maybe she really has something to say."
Otto stood up from his chair and walked out of the bishop's office very naturally. Amber behind him subconsciously reached out to stop him, but then she thought that there was nothing wrong. What was wrong with the bishop paying attention to his fiancée? But she felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't until she saw the documents piled on Otto's desk that Amber finally reacted:
"The Bishop is using this as an excuse to slack off again!"
After leaving the office, Otto went straight to the training ground of Tianming. He knew that Karen would definitely be there at this time. After all, although he was busy during this time, he still knew Karen's movements clearly. This was why he knew the purpose of Karen looking for him after thinking about it.
In all likelihood, she wanted to apply to officially serve as a Valkyrie to fight against Honkai again, and she had indeed been preparing for this during this period of time. Or, in other words, she had already started planning since Kallen was resurrected.
Whether Kallen wants to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life, or continue to be the Valkyrie of destiny to fight against the Honkai, Otto has paved all the ways for her. She can act according to her own inner thoughts without any worries, even if she wants to do a few Thomas spins on him in the next second.
He had even prepared her external identity. After all, Kallen's death was a foregone conclusion five hundred years ago. For countries around the world, the news of Kallen's resurrection would undoubtedly cause quite a stir. Resurrection from the dead was tempting enough for anyone.
When he arrived at the training ground, he saw Kallen wearing a ritual outfit undergoing simulated training. After a period of adaptation, Kallen had already understood the use of modern weapons and various equipment. The ritual outfit she was wearing was made by Otto based on the "magical girl transformation outfit" worn by Kallen in the "Kallen Fantasy" he developed.
Yes, "Magical Girl Transformation Costume".
Even Kallen herself in this version of "Kallen Fantasy" complained: "What kind of magical girl is this?"
Whose magical girl's "magic" is high-tech weapon?
After all, Otto had originally designed this thing as a Valkyrie Armor for Kallen to use in the future. All the equipment on it was also carefully designed by Otto. The various weapons loaded in the Cross Edelunir were all available, and it also had the ability to release up to four combat machine guns.
Otto stopped and stood quietly by the side waiting for Kallen to finish this training.
After defeating the last simulated enemy, Kallen discovered Otto who had appeared at the side. Seeing that Kallen had noticed him, Otto smiled and waved his hand and said, "Good morning, Kallen. It seems that I came at the right time."
Is it really the right time?
Kallen looked at Otto. Otto liked to say this in the past, either saying that he just happened to arrive, or like now, saying that he came at the right time.
However, it is not ruled out that Otto may have come at the right time this time. After all, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Otto is now the Bishop of Heaven's Fate who is busy with all kinds of affairs. Perhaps... there is really no reason for him to wait for me here...
After a brief silence, Kallen said the words she had thought about for a long time: "Otto, I... I have been training here for a long time, but now the Honkai is still in this world, so... as a member of the Kaslana family, I have the responsibility to go to the front line as a Valkyrie again to fight against the Honkai."
Otto's smiling expression did not change at all, as if he knew he would do this from the beginning, and then Otto said: "Of course there is no problem, Kallen, if this is what you want, I will not stop you. It's just that now the quota for the active Valkyrie teams of each Destiny is almost full, I want to use you as a special combat unit, is that okay?"
"Special Operations Unit? What's that?"
"Just like five hundred years ago, you have the power to act alone. You can go to support any Valkyrie team when they need support. You don't need to lead any team."
That is indeed a good plan. During this period of time, I have seen that everyone who knows me in Tianming is very respectful to me. Regardless of whether I am suitable to lead the team, even if I am willing to act as a team member, the captain would not dare to command me.
"Is there anything else you need, Kallen? If you want to act today, I can ask Amber to pick out some places where Honkai has recently occurred, and you can go there to assist the Valkyries in fighting Honkai." Otto continued, "Of course, if you need anything later, just tell Amber."
Karen was silent. She looked into Otto's eyes for a long time before she said, "Otto...why have you never opposed me in anything until now?"
Otto was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly and said, "I objected to it. Have you forgotten, Karen?"
Opposed...ah, indeed, if we are talking about the time five hundred years ago, Otto did oppose me. Once was about the experiment on the black box, another time was when he refused to go with me before I left for the Far East, and the last time, he did not accept the path I chose and tried every means to rescue me.
Now, no matter what Otto does, he doesn't react. He always supports and gives the green light. He doesn't care what you do, he just supports you and that's it.
No matter what he did, even if it was to "steal" past experimental data from an important laboratory in Tianming, he could even "thoughtfully" prepare a tutorial for himself! It was like indulging a naughty child!
Speaking of experiments, Kallen recalled the results of Otto's observations of the bubbles in the quantum sea using the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle that she had seen in the Vimur laboratory...
No matter which world bubble it is, Otto in every world bubble is looking for a way to keep himself alive, but there is no world bubble in which Otto ends up surviving.
After being obtained by Otto, Chikai Ichijo underwent countless experiments, and countless results pointed to his inevitable death. However, Otto still persevered and ordered the Vimur Laboratory to continue investigating, searching for a future in which he could survive by looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, the experimental projects of Vimur Laboratory are more than that. Although it was just an additional requirement of Otto at the beginning, the observations were not much, but they were indeed being carried out. After his resurrection, the focus of Vimur Laboratory's observations changed...
She saw it.
After seeing the moment when Otto used Judgment of Heavenly Fire on Eleanor, in all the world bubbles, as long as the world was similar to the real world, Eleanor's life ended much faster than hers. In most cases, she died from the Judgment of Heavenly Fire that Otto fired at her from behind. In a few cases... she died even earlier. The result of observation in Vimur Laboratory was that only one child died of the Black Death at a young age.
What puzzled Karen even more was that the observers pointed out in their report to Otto that in all the world bubbles they observed, Eleanor was basically confirmed not to be a member of the Shaniyat family, and was even just an adopted daughter who came from nowhere and was casually given to the Shaniyat family by the Apokalis family.
But Karen was very sure that the Eleanor she and Otto knew was not like this. She was a direct descendant of the Shanyat family since birth, and not an adopted daughter who was sent to the Shanyat family halfway.
That was definitely not the Eleanor they knew.
Otto seemed to think the same as himself, so he never gave up asking Chikai Ichijo to continue investigating these things, and even increased the efforts after his resurrection.
After a long silence, Kallen said to Otto: "Otto, I have never been the saint preached in the history of destiny. I also make mistakes sometimes..."
"But you are my saint, and you always have been." Otto's tone was calm and gentle. "Karen, you are right. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. But in my opinion, as long as you do what you want to do and you choose your own path, I will do my best to support you."
Kallen pursed her lips. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Karen, do you know what I regret the most? It's that I never really understood your ideals, and I just ran for you. I didn't understand your persistence, and I avoided the questions you asked me. I just hid in my own world and did what I thought was good for you." Otto said, "But the facts prove that I was wrong... It was my stubbornness that killed you."
"No, Otto, even if you were to do that..."
"You were killed by the Honkai beast I released. This is a fact." Otto looked into Kallen's eyes. "It was because I had no ability to change the environment you were in. It was because I avoided your problems step by step that you ended up like that... So, Kallen, I really deserved that slap in the face."
"..."
"I know you want to say that even if I hadn't released the Honkai beast at that time, you wouldn't change your choice to die, but... if I hadn't been so weak before that, I could have done better to change everything, but I didn't. I never really understood your ideals from the beginning to the end, so I never changed that damn era."
"..."
"But it's different now, Kallen. This era is no longer as dark and damnable as the one we lived in. You can find other people who have the same ideals as you, and I already understand your thoughts and the gap between you and me... This time, you can walk your own path without worry and realize your ideals."
I will no longer try to bind you to me; you are free to choose your own path and fly high.
"…And you, Otto?"
Will you come with me this time?
"I will support you and help you as much as I can, but... I'm sorry, Kallen, I can't continue to go with you this time."
Otto raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the training ground: "I am no longer the great inventor who once promised to save the world with you..."
My hands are already stained with sins. I should have understood from the beginning that there is a fundamental difference between you and me. In your eyes, the whole world is in your eyes, but in mine, there is only room for you. Five hundred years have passed, and you are still the saint in my heart, but I can no longer walk with you.
After all, the paths we took only intersected in childhood. It is not one road. I have always wanted to move my path closer to your path.
Karen stared at Otto in a daze. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, then turned her back to Otto. Had Otto never understood her ideals... Then when had she ever understood Otto's thoughts?
Five hundred years ago, they all made their own mistakes, until the last one they made again and again, forming an unbridgeable rift and barrier.
Chapter 110 Cold Wave
Coral Island.
"Damn it, why has the weather on Coral Island become so abnormal? Even the frequency of Honkai Beast appearances has increased significantly." Leonie gritted her teeth and whispered after she smashed a tank-level Honkai Beast in front of her with the double guns in her hands.
The weather changes on Coral Island were obviously abnormal. Before they started their mission to clean up the Honkai beasts today, the sky was clear, but the temperature dropped sharply in such a short period of time.
"Vanessa, contact the headquarters immediately and report the situation on the coral island. We may need support from the headquarters." Anna said to the communicator in the Snow Lotus team while cleaning up the Honkai beasts, "By the way, what is the concentration of Honkai energy here now?"
The Shaniyalt family is naturally sensitive to Honkai energy, and the environment here has begun to make Anna feel a little uncomfortable.
The team member whose name was called took out the real-time monitoring device from his backpack under the cover of his comrades. Looking at the value on it that was rising at an abnormal speed, he hurriedly said: "Captain, the instrument shows that the concentration of Honkai energy is rising rapidly. There may be a danger of Honkai!"
"Is there a danger of collapse..." Anna narrowed her eyes. The word collapse was not far away from her memory. The previous Snow Lotus team was wiped out except for herself in the Manila collapse. Having had this experience, she was not too panicked about the collapse happening now. She knew that the most urgent task was to find out the energy level of this collapse and collect as much information as possible for the headquarters.
As for the transfer of civilians to Coral Island...
We can only leave it to fate. No one knows when the collapse will come and in what form it will come. If it is an earthquake or tsunami, it will be too late to rescue civilians and you will lose yourself.
Collapse is a natural disaster for humans, and we can only do our best to carry out post-disaster rescue. Pre-disaster prediction is of little use at all.
Anna looked at the sky above her head again. The weather seemed to be getting colder. Could it be that this time the collapse would break out in the form of a cold disaster? Normally, when the collapse energy began to rise and there was a trend of causing collapse, it meant that the footsteps of the collapse were at the door. At this time, it was impossible to notify civilians to evacuate.
"Activate Contingency Plan No. 1 for the event of a collapse, all personnel... ugh!"
Before Anna finished speaking, it was as if something exploded in her mind, or rather, something hit her consciousness hard. For a moment, she could not hear any sound from the outside world.
"Anna! What's wrong with you?" Leonie went forward and wanted to support Anna, but she found that when she touched Anna, her hands were icy cold, as if she was holding a piece of ice. Then, she found that frost began to form on her hands.
Leonie immediately realized that something was wrong. Her hand was still supporting Anna, but her eyes quickly wandered around.
Before joining the Snow Lotus Team, during the time when the Kaslana family was hidden by destiny, in addition to receiving the training required for the acting head of the family, she never gave up her dream of going to the battlefield again. For this situation, she quickly found the most likely scenario in her mind.
The law is transformed, or the law is imitated.
Anna's condition is extremely abnormal. A normal person would not have such an extremely low body temperature. This abnormal phenomenon is either caused by the Herrscher around, or Anna is the cause of the mutation itself.
At the moment, the only areas covered with frost were the hands that touched Anna and parts of the area under Anna's feet. It could be basically determined that Anna was the source of the mutation.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?!"
Some team members also noticed something was wrong and wanted to come over to see what was going on. Leonie immediately said, "Everyone, disperse immediately!"
The other members of the Snow Lotus Team looked at each other, they didn't know what to do for a moment. The same thing happened to Leonie. Apart from asking everyone to disperse, she didn't know what to do. She only knew to keep everyone away from danger, but what should she do next?
Anna... is going to become a Herrscher...
Suddenly, Anna stretched out a hand and grasped Leonie's hand, then raised her head and looked at Leonie. At this moment, Leonie saw clearly that the pupil of one of Anna's eyes had changed from its original pink to a deep dark blue, and dark lines were spreading on the half of her face where that eye was.
"Leonie, take everyone away...quickly..." Anna said these words almost through gritted teeth, "You...take full command of the Snow Lotus Squad...take everyone...away!"
At the same time, the surrounding temperature became even lower, and the gloomy sky began to scatter chaotic and dense snowflakes.
Leonie held Anna's hand tightly. She wanted to say something, but swallowed all her words in the end. She let go of Anna's hand and turned to everyone in the Snow Lotus team and said, "Everyone, evacuate and return to the Coral Island base immediately!"
"But the captain..."
Leonie almost shouted, "This is an order. I will now take full command of the Snow Lotus Squad. Everyone, evacuate immediately!"
After all, they were an elite Valkyrie team. After the initial confusion, they gradually realized the current situation. Those who didn't realize it also knew what they should do by looking at the reactions of others.
"But, the captain..."
"Is it time for you to say this?!" Leonie pulled up the team member who had doubts and wanted to come over to see what was going on, and threw her in the direction where the Snow Lotus team was evacuating with the help of the strange power inherited from the Kaslana family. "What are you guys still standing there for? Do you want me to throw them out one by one?!"
"Come on!"
The Valkyries who had reacted immediately pulled the Valkyries who hadn't reacted away from the scene.
Leonie walked at the end of the team. Before she evacuated, she looked back at Anna for the last time. At this time, the ground around Anna was covered with ice, and half of Anna's body was sealed in the ice. She also looked at Leonie and nodded slightly.
Leonie pursed her lips, turned back, and urged the Snow Lotus Team to evacuate the scene as quickly as possible.
After the Snow Lotus Team evacuated, the collapse broke out on the Coral Island. The extreme cold current swept across the entire island, and the blizzard seemed to cover all life.
On the way back to the base, Leonie did not forget to contact the Destiny headquarters.
Destiny Headquarters.
"Bishop, Coral Island is in urgent need of a contact!" Amber walked into the bishop's office with a pile of documents and said, "There is a collapse on Coral Island!"
"The Coral Island collapsed?" Otto, who was correcting documents, raised his eyes slightly. He was familiar with the word Coral Island. It was the garrison of the Snow Lotus Team. Leonie Kaslana, the reserve head of the Kaslana family, was currently serving as the deputy captain of the Snow Lotus Team there.
As a rare smart person in Kaslana's family, Otto would pay some attention to her, but he didn't expect that the next time he would think of her was when he received the news of the explosion and destruction of Coral Island.
Due to the outbreak of the Great Collapse, Coral Island's external communications were quickly cut off. Leonie could only report the general situation to the headquarters as briefly as possible before the communication was interrupted.
Thanks to Leonie's timely contact, the Savior Headquarters quickly grasped the general situation of the collapse of the Coral Island and made arrangements for it.
Unlike the previous Collapse, according to the information before Leonie lost contact, this Collapse gave birth to a Herrscher whose power was related to ice and snow. We have to consider that the situation we are encountering is the same as when the second Herrscher was born in the Second Great Collapse, rather than the Collapse caused by the third and fourth Herrscher who were born with the power of the Conquest Gem and the Desire Gem. It cannot be underestimated.
Otto immediately sent Yulandel to lead the Undying Blade and Maria to lead the Iris Squad of the Shaniyat family to Coral Island to support the Snow Lotus Squad in suppressing the collapse.
Of course, Tianming will not attack rashly before figuring out the enemy's strength. The main task of Yulandel and others arriving at the Coral Island is to build a defense line to prevent the further spread of the collapse and to find out the enemy's intelligence.
After all, for Tianming, they only know that a great collapse broke out on Coral Island and the Herrscher was born. They are not clear about where the Herrscher was born, what his authority is, and what the specific situation of Coral Island is. They need to conduct on-site inspections and then make further strategic arrangements based on the results of the inspections.
After issuing the initial instructions, a short while later, Otto received a call from the World Serpent. It was from the Jackal who had learned the news. She proposed to study the Herrscher who was born in this Great Collapse in exchange for Otto's further cooperation on the Stigmata Project.
The Jackal's idea is also very simple. Capturing the Herrscher will eliminate the Honkai, which will not be a bad thing for Destiny. The Jackal also suggests that after capturing the Herrscher, Destiny can share the research progress with her.
"But, Miss Jackal, I think I need to remind you that in this crusade against the Herrscher, it is Destiny who is contributing money and manpower. The bargaining chips you offer... don't seem to be enough?" Otto said to the Jackal on the screen. He had reached a deal with the Jackal, but this did not mean that the bargaining chips from the Jackal could allow him to make Destiny work for her for nothing.
Last time, Destiny helped it hunt Benares.
