I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"Oh, right Wendy, shift the detection area to Kiana's side. Otto seems to be the first one there. Also, I want to check on Kiana's... uh..."

　Seeing the white-haired girl who was kneeling on the ground suddenly attack Otto like a madwoman after seeing him, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off him, Suzuma fell silent.

　"Wait... what's wrong with Sirin? Kiana's acting... it doesn't seem like acting at all?"

　……

　"Oh, long time no see, old friend... After spending so much time in a place like St. Freya where there are so many young girls, I never imagined that even you, my old friend, would become so energetic."

　Otto's lips twitched as he watched Fu Hua violently demolish the house.

　Although the labs here are basically useless now, the hardware is still top-three in Schicksal. To be honest... Otto felt a little heartache seeing it.

　"Stop talking nonsense, what's the deal with Kiana?"

　Looking at Kiana, who had already fainted and was floating behind Otto bound by a golden chain, Fu Hua asked coldly.

　"Here."

　Otto waved his hand lightly, and a golden feather fell into Fu Hua's hand: "See for yourself, old friend. This is basically a done deal with the core being out of control. The Void Spear is being thrown around like it's free, and its attack on me is ridiculously high."

　"If it weren't for Rita protecting me, I, an office worker who isn't good at fighting, might be dead here today. It's hard to imagine how badly St. Freya would have suffered if I hadn't been the first one to arrive here today."

　"..."

　Otto smiled slightly as he looked at the silent Fu Hua.

　"Well, you've seen the situation yourself. As agreed, I need to take Kiana back to Schicksal headquarters for treatment to prevent her from posing a greater threat to the students here... Old friend, you have no objections, right?"

　The bounty ends at midnight tonight!

　As for the bounty... let's start from Thursday, we might have a lot to do tomorrow, meow.

　Goodnight!

　Chapter 202 Lingmo: Bishop Otto, I was not lying.

　"I have an opinion!"

　Just then, a childish voice interrupted their conversation.

　"Grandpa, this is St. Freya... You wouldn't want to take my student away without my permission, would you?"

　Theresa, carrying Judas, blocked the three's path.

　"And you, Fu Hua... I always thought you were an excellent student."

　"Ugh……"

　Fu Hua sighed, "Headmistress, I will explain the reasons to you in person another day. But for now, please step aside. Otherwise, if Kiana loses control, the entire St. Freya Academy will be..."

　"I have Judas."

　Theresa slammed the golden cross on the ground, and a large number of light spears immediately extended from the unfolded cross.

　“My dear granddaughter, everyone here knows you are the zeroth rated power.”

　At this moment, Otto spoke with a smile: "I don't doubt that you can suppress Kiana, but how long can your zero rated power last? Half a minute, or a minute?"

　"If Kiana loses control, does St. Freya really have anyone who can stop her?"

　"Grandpa, you..."

　"Alright, let's stop fooling around here."

　Compared to Theresa, who was still confused about the situation, Otto was clearly more anxious.

　Although they had already obtained evidence from the ghost that Lingmo usually slept very soundly, often sleeping until noon, if they made too much noise and woke Lingmo up, they would have a hard time leaving.

　“Theresa, it’s time for you to grow up a bit. As the Bishop of Destiny, I am responsible for the safety of all your students at St. Freya, so…”

　A small golden cube suddenly appeared behind Otto, then instantly transformed into a huge golden cross. The same light spear as Theresa's suddenly shot out, completing a complete suppression of Theresa in a very short time.

　In terms of martial arts and weaponry, the only two in Destiny who can rival Otto are probably Fu Hua and Durandal. Even if Theresa has decades of combat experience and the more powerful Judah, she would be completely helpless against Otto, unless she chooses to activate her zeroth rated power and fight Otto head-on.

　But in that case... who can guarantee that the zero rated power will kill it first?

　"Alright, let's go, Rita, old friend..."

　"call out--"

　Before Otto could finish speaking, a dazzling pink arrow shot out from afar, and attached to the arrow was a "toy" that made Otto's expression change upon seeing it.

　Others may not know, but Otto could never forget this thing—it was this thing, which Suzuma called "Punk Lord's Greeting," that destroyed four-fifths of his Soul Steel body during the Second Honkai Impact.

　So this time, having learned his lesson, Otto didn't even try to touch Suzumo's arrow. The light spear wrapped around Judah instantly retracted, transforming into a small golden-blue ball. Then, ice shards rose from the ground, directly blocking the crystal arrow.

　Then, without any hesitation, Otto turned and ran away without a second thought—simply because he could easily fool Fu Hua and Theresa with words, but to fool Ling Mo… considering the grudge between the two, Otto didn’t think he had the ability yet.

　However, Suzumo didn't give him that chance.

　The first arrow just now seemed to be a feint. As the arrow flew out in a dazzling display, a very faint gunshot rang out at the same time. Moreover, apart from Fu Hua, probably no one else present noticed it.

　Fu Hua did notice, but out of a slight desire for revenge, she didn't take the bullet for Otto.

　Almost at the same moment the gunshot rang out, one of Otto's legs vanished instantly, revealing the flowing soul steel liquid that was healing the wound.

　"What happened..."

　Otto had a bad feeling, but he was a decisive person, so he immediately turned around and said, "Rita, take Fu Hua and Kiana to the airship and leave. I'll buy you some time!"

　Under normal circumstances, this scene of sacrificing oneself to save teammates would surely be quite touching. However, considering that Kiana is still unconscious and floating behind them, the scene is rather comical.

　"The treasures of the void, the oath of Judah, a mimicry of the universe!"

　Almost at the same time that Fu Hua and Rita left, Otto unhesitatingly activated the Mimic Judah once again. However, this time, along with Judah, several golden gears also appeared.

　"hiss--"

　Lingmo gasped, "Otto actually figured this out? No wonder he dared to come and take Kiana away himself..."

　"Lingmo, this..."

　Wendy looked flustered: "My detectors and bullets seem to have all failed!"

　"Don't rush, it'll only be for a short while after his ultimate skill is disabled... Let's use this time to get there first."

　Lingmo sighed, "With the zero rated power over there, it's a foregone conclusion that he'll take Kiana away... Actually, it's fine. Anyway, we originally wanted him to take Kiana away. Now we've forced out one of Otto's trump cards, which isn't bad."

　Otto's mimicry of divine grace did not last long. After only a dozen seconds, the golden gears collapsed automatically. However, judging from Otto's apparent strength, it was clear that it was not his body that could not withstand the pressure, but rather the Void Treasury that could not.

　"Long time no see, Miss Lingmo... It seems you've made a mistake this time."

　Although it only delayed them for a dozen seconds, that was more than enough time for the two S-class Valkyries to reach the aircraft outside St. Freya. In other words, on the surface, Otto did indeed do a good job of delaying them, allowing Rita and Fu Hua to take Kiana away.

　"Don't get cocky, Otto."

　Looking at Otto's confident smile, Suzumo couldn't help but smile back.

　Yes, absolutely! You absolutely have to bring Kiana back to Schicksal headquarters and then give her a good dose of Honkai energy! Just thinking about what will happen after Otto goes back makes Suzuma so excited she's practically waving her flag!

　However, although she was secretly laughing to the extreme, Lingmo still maintained a pale and ashen expression on the surface.

　“Otto, don’t get cocky. I’ll immediately mobilize Anti-Entropy’s forces to go to your Schicksal headquarters and have a good chat with you—and take Kiana back.”

　"I'll show you just how far your plans have gone... I hope you'll still be laughing then."

　"Take her back? Haha... Don't worry, my old friend, I have no intention of stealing her away. When the time comes, as long as you come, I will definitely hand over your Kiana to you..."

　"boom--"

　Before Otto could finish speaking, a projected version of the Skyfire appeared in Suzuma's hand. Then, Suzuma aimed it at Otto's head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

　“Bishop Otto, I am not lying.”

　The bounty for this chapter is nine! The bounty will be back starting tomorrow, meow~

　Oh, and the promised extra chapter has also been posted in the group—the download method might be a bit troublesome, since it exploded as soon as it was released (eyes darting away).

　Chapter 203 Rita: With so many people in Destiny, why are they asking me, someone with driftwood, to block the bridge?

　"Hey, Your Excellency, how did you die?"

　At the headquarters of Destiny, Otto had just opened his eyes when he heard Amber's sarcastic remarks.

　"...Don't ask, the answer is that I ran into Suzumo."

　"Oh, that's such a shame."

　Amber echoed expressionlessly, "But don't worry, Your Excellency, we're safe now, for the time being."

　"It's not quite that hopeless, but the situation is indeed very serious."

　Otto sat up and asked seriously, "Amber, have Rita and Fu Hua returned yet?"

　"Their spaceship has reached the area near headquarters. Although it hasn't returned to port yet, it's almost there."

　"That's good... Once they return, have Fu Hua report to me immediately. Also, I have a few orders for you to write down and pass on to Rita later."

　Amber opened the terminal and listened attentively.

　"First, it's about yourself. In a moment, you'll take those two items from the clone I prepared earlier. Then, go to Heimdall Laboratory first, and then to the floating island of the weapons testing facility. I explained your arrangements to you in detail before, so you should remember the next steps, right?"

　"Yes, as long as Your Excellency doesn't let me down, I'll be fine."

　"...I've only failed a few times with Suzuma."

　Otto sighed. He felt that there was something wrong with the tall and mighty image he had in Amber's mind.

　"Next is what you need to tell Rita—to make Kiana Herrscher of Reason, you first need to inject her with a large amount of Honkai energy, which will mobilize the Honkai energy reactors of several floating islands in the Schicksal floating island system, and it will also take time. Therefore, the ultimate goal of all your tasks is to buy time."

　"Therefore, I have made the following deployment: concentrate all the Shenji and Sub-Shenji forces at the Third Airport. This airport will be the landing site for the Anti-Entropy. We need to trade space for time and give the Third Airport to them in order to delay the landing speed of their main force."

　"At the same time, the entire Undying Blade squad has assembled at the Second Airport, while the Glorious Blade, which I newly authorized last year and is led by Anna, is responsible for guarding the First Airport. Unlike the Third Airport, these two airports are the places you must defend. I have already cut off most of the connection points of the Rainbow Bridge system in advance, so your defense task is actually just to block the two [main bridges]."

　"Furthermore, Durandal will be stationed as the mobile force on the central floating island of Schicksal, while I myself will go to Heimlich Laboratory later. Reports on the battle situation can be sent there."

　"above--"

　"That concludes His Excellency the Bishop's arrangements."

　A dozen minutes later, in the floating island area of ​​Heimdall Laboratory, Amber was relaying Otto's orders to Rita.

　"……I see."

　Although a hint of doubt appeared on her face, Rita readily accepted the order.

　The reason for her confusion is... actually, these things were made by amber before.

　After all, although Rita also inherited Ragnar's tradition of wearing maid outfits, Rita is not the bishop's maid or secretary. In terms of lifestyle, she is more like Durandal's personal maid. The reason why she often directly exchanges orders with Otto is only because of her identity in the intelligence department.

　This time, most of the orders Otto gave Rita actually fell within Amber's authority. For example, the Undying Blade and the Glorious Blade are departments of the same level. If we disregard the friendly relationship between Anna, Rita, and Durandal, theoretically Rita has no right to command the Glorious Blade.

　So, since the bishop has entrusted these tasks to me, what is Amber's task...?

　Although she was very suspicious that Otto was playing some kind of nested scheme, Rita ultimately didn't ask. After all, Otto and Theresa's dispute could be considered a family matter, but for a working-class person like Rita, being caught in the middle was a difficult situation.

　Since Otto didn't assign her any more crucial tasks, Rita was happy to have an easier time. After all, it was just blocking the bridge, nothing serious.

　"Oh, by the way, Lady Amber, Rita has another question."

　Seeing that Amber was about to go and take care of the unconscious Kiana, Rita quickly called out to Amber.

　"Regarding Teacher Cheng Lixue and Teacher Salome... they shouldn't be at the Destiny Headquarters right now, right?"

　"No."

　Amber said quite frankly, "His Excellency the Bishop had already planned ahead, so two days ago, he transferred the two of them away from headquarters under a suitable pretext to avoid making things difficult in the future."

　"Huh...that's good."

　Rita breathed a sigh of relief.
