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

　However, since the cooldown period for the temporary gambling funds that Suzumo used last time has not yet ended, Suzumo doesn't have many useful items left.

　"Hmm, it disappeared?"

　Otto had anticipated Suzumo's unexpected and wonderful little trick.

　After all, if Suzumo hadn't been resourceful, she wouldn't have been able to force the Tower of Babylon to call for backup on her first escape attempt.

　“Void of all things, scan her location. This doesn’t seem to be invisibility in the traditional sense, just optical camouflage. I can even feel the airflow she generates when she runs.”

　The small golden cube didn't reply; instead, it shot out a chain that flew towards a certain area in the air.

　"Damn it, if you can't play the game, you'll just go all out, huh!"

　Lingmo feigned a fierce expression, and a red pattern similar to a holy mark appeared on her hand. Then, a silver scalpel appeared in her hand, instantly cutting through the metal chains that resembled the Void Treasury.

　【? 】

　"Void Treasury, what are you doing?"

　Otto frowned. It wasn't unexpected that Lingmo was able to break free of the chains, since they were just ordinary chains, not the mimicry of Judas. However, it was the Void Treasury that was now causing problems.

　Upon seeing the pattern on Lingmo's hand, Xukong Wanzang was completely dumbfounded.

　She, she...

　"?"

　Now it was Otto's turn to be baffled. Could that pattern have been something very distinctive in the pre-civilization era?

　However, the Void Treasury's shutdown did not prevent Otto from capturing Suzuma. After all, the Soul Steel mecha he used this time was also a mecha specially modified for combat, with its physical strength completely based on the former strongest S-class Valkyrie, Reina, making it no less formidable than anyone present.

　As Suzumo cut the chains, Otto's figure appeared in front of her. Then, with a swift movement, a powerful Honkai energy blast sent the girl flying, crashing heavily against the rock wall beside her.

　"So, what exactly happened?"

　Seeing that Suzumo had collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up, Otto continued to question the Void Treasury, which had been flickering violently since earlier.

　The stigmata on this girl are not any of those recorded in previous civilizations, and similarly, they are probably unrelated to Möbius, as we previously speculated.

　No, perhaps it's better to put it this way: this stigmata can be linked to all of them...

　"Don't be a riddle reader. I'll give you five seconds to organize your thoughts. My time is limited."

　Otto frowned. This Void Treasury had been with him for five hundred years, and when things were going well, it could imitate him perfectly. But when it came to crucial moments, it either messed up or acted like a idiot.

　[Her Stigmata design is derived from the mark of Alicia, the most powerful warrior in the previous civilization besides Kevin. However, Alicia's Stigmata should not have existed in the previous civilization, at least that's what my creator recorded.]

　"Why is that impossible? The Stigmata are essentially carriers of information. Couldn't she have secretly left the Stigmata herself?"

　[That's impossible, because she had already become a Herrscher and was killed before the Stigmata Project was finally completed. Strictly speaking, before her death, the Stigmata Project was still a rapidly progressing research project. The previous civilization's real salvation plans were basically all formally initiated and finalized around the time of Alicia's death.]

　The voice of the Void Treasury was filled with confusion.

　Therefore, logically speaking, she couldn't possibly have left behind the corresponding Stigmata. However... considering that not all the information left by my creator is necessarily true, I can think of another possibility.

　"Oh?"

　Otto suddenly became somewhat interested.

　That is, outside the historical records of the previous civilization, Alicia secretly left behind descendants, just like the Kaslana family that originated from Kevin, and these descendants have continued into the present world.

　[And her stigmata, after her death, were reawakened by May and Möbius in her descendants, and have been passed down ever since.]

　"Wait, are you trying to tell me that there's a branch of a pre-civilization with a bloodline as ancient as Kaslana's, which has been passed down for 50,000 years without Schicksal's knowledge, until now?"

　Otto's lips twitched; he felt as if he were listening to a myth.

　"Furthermore, although I haven't seen much data about the previous civilization in your database, I remember you telling me that this Alicia doesn't seem to have a spouse, right? Who did she have offspring with?"

　[Ahem, that's why I said before that my creator might have left behind false information about Alicia. The reason I made this assumption... is actually because...]

　Void Treasury's tone suddenly became hesitant and stammering.

　[Alishia, in the previous civilization, I actually had several female friends with whom I had ambiguous relationships, and my creator, Velvi, was one of them. Even Mebius, whom I mentioned to you before, was among them. Other candidates included Eden, Aponia... In short, most of the women from the previous civilization that I mentioned to you before were within this range of candidates.]

　So, if you ask me to guess who this child is with... to prevent me from being suddenly reset to factory settings by some backdoor from a previous civilization, I can only tell you, I don't know.

　"..."

　Otto's expression was a bit stunned.

　So that's the reason! What lesbian love triangle? Did this kind of thing exist in previous civilizations too?

　"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, then don't."

　Otto walked toward Suzumo, who had fallen into a coma, and at the same time, golden feathers began to drift around him.

　"Although you don't dare to say it, I know you must be quite curious too."

　"So, how about this: you use Feather Dust to invade her body, and then transfer her memories directly into mine, and I'll take care of it for you?"

　Chapter 26 Void Treasury: So I made my move (looks up, Jpg)

　That's one way to do it.

　The small golden cubes—no, they've now turned into golden feather dust—float up and down in the air.

　"Perfect timing. She's already unconscious. You can't possibly fail under these circumstances, can you?"

　Otto joked.

　[Hmph, I was just startled by the unexpected situation.]

　Having recovered from the shock of Suzuma's stigmata, Void Manzou reverted to his old ways.

　[She's just an ordinary girl; don't worry, I'll take care of her.]

　Otto shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

　Well then, let me see...

　The golden feathers shone with a dazzling light.

　What secrets lie hidden in your memories?

　As he spoke, Yu Duchen's powers began to take effect, and Lingmo's body, which had been lying unconscious on the ground, began to float up automatically under Yu Duchen's control, hovering in front of Otto.

　“Yu Duchen is no small matter. Even with my previous disguise, Walter will probably realize something is wrong very quickly.”

　"Void Treasury, you mustn't... wait a minute?"

　Before Otto could finish speaking, the golden feather in his hand suddenly emitted a sharp crackling sound, and a strong wave of Honkai energy spread out from it. Then, the feather automatically decomposed, restored itself, and turned back into a small golden cube before falling silent.

　"?"

　"What are you doing, Void Treasury?!"

　Unfortunately, the Void Treasury, which had been temporarily shut down, could not answer Otto's question. The golden cube lay quietly in Otto's hand, as if it had crashed.

　Just seconds before...

　[Is this Suzuma's world of memories? She seems no different from ordinary people, no, in fact, I feel like her memories are easier to intrude on than those of ordinary people?]

　Under the influence of Feather Dust, Void Treasury easily invaded Lingmo's body with almost no hindrance, which puzzled the experienced Void Treasury.

　After all, even ordinary people have some subconscious protective measures in their mental sea. These things have nothing to do with strength; they are simply biological instincts.

　As for Lingmo's spiritual sea... to use an inappropriate analogy, it's like swimming at the beach. Experienced swimmers can easily swim to deeper places, but at the same time, they will be fighting against the waves themselves. However, the state of Void Treasury at this moment is more like being swept inward by the undercurrent.

　[Well, it could also be because this guy has died too many times... After all, I haven't explored any precedents for this kind of special individual.]

　Everyone has a past, and the past shapes the present. Some people can grasp their memories, while others are trapped by them, unable to escape.

　Perhaps because he had spent too much time with Otto, he had been infected with an overly strong desire to perform. At this moment, Void Archives was not in a hurry to explore Lingmo's memories. Instead, like a polite visitor, he slowly made his way to the deepest part of Lingmo's memories.

　After all, what he wanted to find was Lingmo's memories about the Stigmata, and the best way was naturally to first find the moment when Lingmo awakened the Stigmata, and then follow the flow to read all the information.

　In Suzuma's memory, the Void Archives, which appeared in the form of Otto, eventually found a... strange cocoon of light?

　[Is this the area in your heart where you hide your secrets? Well, let me see who gave you... what?!]

　Before the Void Treasury could enter the cocoon of light, the enormous cocoon suddenly opened its eyes.

　Indeed, although this cocoon does not strictly have the form of eyes, the reason why Void Treasury has this feeling is due to the patterns on its surface. However, the moment Void Treasury touches the cocoon of light, its vision is suddenly plunged into darkness.

　Then, a pair of beautiful star-shaped purple eyes slowly opened in the darkness.

　“Foreign objects…”

　A clear, ethereal voice echoed in the silent space.

　"Your journey ends here."

　Almost instantly, Void Archives felt he had lost control of the Key of God.

　Then, an irresistible force forcibly invaded his database, like a brutish painter erasing all memories of the intrusion, and then, like swatting away mosquitoes, sent the Void Treasury flying.

　"Haha, that line is really cool!"

　As the darkness dissipated, a phantom watched the departing figure of Void Myriad Treasures and let out a sigh of contentment.

　"I wasted so much energy putting him in such a deep place... Not bad, now there's another five-star weapon in Lingmo's weapon pool."

　"Unfortunately, items originating from the original world can only be used in the world that Suzuma named Hoshitetsu. However, that place also seems to be fraught with danger. With this universal plugin, Suzuma's journey should be much easier."

　"Hmph, as expected of me!"

　……

　Although Xiaoqi, the customer service representative inside Lingmo's body, was in a great mood, Otto outside didn't think so.

　After all... that energy burst just now must have alerted Welt and Sirin who were fighting outside.

　Moreover, for unknown reasons, the Void Treasury in his hands was as if it had been completely drained, and it went into shutdown mode, making it impossible for him to even take over control.

　Although out of caution, Otto did indeed carry quite a few other trump cards, but ultimately, the fewer situations that slip out of control, the better.

　And outside the valley...

　"?"

　"?"

　Because of Suzuma's prior instructions, and because maintaining Bella's summoning consumed a lot of Honkai energy, the intensity of Sirin and Welt's battle was indeed not very strong.

　Even after noticing that Sirin was not in good condition, Walter deliberately slowed down his attacks. After all, he did not want to really hurt Sirin, and exhausting the girl was also a viable option.

　However... the energy fluctuations emanating from the valley caused both of them to stop moving at the same time.

　"Oh no, Suzumo!"

　Sirin's eyes widened instantly. Without conserving her energy, a spatial portal quickly swallowed her up and teleported her back into the valley.

　Walter immediately followed. At that distance, even without teleportation, he would only be a few seconds slower at most.

　At the same time, doubts were constantly rising in his mind.

　After all, the reason he was in such a hurry to take Sirin away, and even went so far as to break the deadlock and fight Sirin, was because before the battle, Ai-in clearly told him that there were no suspicious signals around.

　In fact, Anti-Entropy has always paid close attention to the strange movements of Destiny, and those who had suffered greatly at Otto's hands in the past are very clear about Otto's tricks.

　The recent unusual actions of Schicksal, such as the Archbishop's seclusion and the fact that only Siegfried and Theresa, two idiots, were sent to deal with the situation in Siberia without any other help, have made Anti-Entropy's think tank suspicious—there is suspicion that Otto is preparing to intervene personally or send an agent to intervene in Siberia.

　Therefore, Walter was in such a hurry to take Sirin away first, because once Otto made a move, he would not leave them any room to react. So they could only take advantage of Patrick's intelligence advantage on Anti-Entropy's side and take the initiative first.

　However, the situation didn't allow Walter much time to think about it. After all, if Suzuma really got into trouble, Sirin's condition... well, you can imagine.

　However, if their opponent is an ordinary person, then perhaps with Sirin's quick response and support, they might indeed have a chance to save Suzuma.

　But their opponent... is Otto.

　The instant he confirmed that the Void Archives had lost contact, Otto acted without hesitation.

　When Walter arrived inside the valley, the sight before him was so overwhelming that even the well-traveled Walter was momentarily stunned.

　A blond man wearing a clown mask was elegantly wiping the blood from his hands with a towel, while on the ground beside him lay the corpse of a pink-haired girl who had just lost her life.

　And of course…

　The Second Herrscher has already gone berserk.

　Chapter 27 You may not have Lingmo anymore, but you still have me~

　"You bastard!"
