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

　"However, something unexpected happened..."

　Otto fell into deep thought as he watched the footage coming from the monitoring drone of Destiny.

　"Has Suzuma been resurrected...? Then why is she acting alone? Or... is Walter right next to her, and she's planning to go fishing?"

　"However, her importance has indeed reached the point where even if I know it's bait, I have to take the bait..."

　After a moment's thought, Otto called in several medical transport planes to transport the remaining members of the Snow Wolf Squad, as well as the unconscious Fu Hua and Cheng Lixue, back to the hospital.

　"In any case, it's best if Lingmo doesn't appear on the final battlefield. Although my plan does leave enough room for her, it's better to avoid trouble."

　"Let's take care of her before Celine shows up."

　P.S.: Star Iron Main World.

　Chapter 37 Lingmo: Thank you to the kind person who helped me reduce my blood pressure.

　The patrol drones of Destiny were extremely accurate in their positioning. Almost at the same time Otto issued the order, several drones began to monitor Suzuma from different directions.

　Of course, both sides are well aware that these drones themselves are probably being monitored by Walter.

　Thus, under this tacit understanding of mutual perfunctory behavior, Otto, having finished his work, finally appeared before Suzumo.

　"It's been a long time, Miss Suzumo."

　Otto gave a perfect gentlemanly bow: "It's good to see you're alright."

　"If you hadn't popped my heart like a bubble wrap a few days ago, I probably would have believed your small talk more."

　Lingmo's lips twitched, and she said irritably.

　"Really? Hahaha... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. After all, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't consider your feelings, Miss Lingmo. It was indeed my mistake. Moreover, your stay at Anti-Entropy during this period has indeed made me quite worried. After all, their research level in life sciences is ultimately a bit amateurish compared to Destiny."

　Otto sincerely apologized, "But please rest assured, if you can give me just one more second this time, I promise I will make sure you leave without any pain."

　"For someone like you who sincerely tries to recruit me while actually intending to kill me, I really don't know whether I should praise your honesty."

　Lingmo complained helplessly.

　"You flatter me, Miss Suzumo. After all, I am like you, someone who often faces death."

　Otto replied matter-of-factly, “So I understand your thinking perfectly well. Life is just a bargaining chip that can be recovered for us, and that applies to me as well.”

　"That's why I'm not hesitant to discuss this topic with you. After all, death isn't an unacceptable price for us, is it?"

　“You’re absolutely right, but unfortunately, even the smallest chip has its own value, especially since that value can vary drastically from person to person.”

　A card suddenly appeared in Lingmo's hand.

　“For me personally, it wouldn’t matter if I died a few more times, but unfortunately, for my friends, even if they could be resurrected, they would still stubbornly value my life as much as their own, so… I don’t intend to accept your proposal.”

　"and……"

　“There are differences between resurrections, Otto. You will understand the meaning of my words in a moment.”

　Lingmo crushed her card violently.

　"So you still have a backup plan? Fine, let me see what your trump card is that gives you the confidence to face me alone."

　Otto didn't attack during Suzuma's "transformation time." Firstly, Welt was lurking in the shadows, so even if he launched a sneak attack, he wouldn't gain any advantage. Secondly... he was genuinely quite interested in Suzuma's abilities.

　After a flash of light, Lingmo's appearance... seemed to have completely changed?

　Although she still had pink hair and pink eyes, Lingmo's face shape had undergone some subtle changes. At the same time, she had added a touch of white highlights to her hair and a touch of red to her eyes.

　"Transformation? Is this a Honkai Beast gene? No, it doesn't look like it... but it's not mechanical modification either... Interesting, very interesting, Miss Suzuma, you always manage to bring me different surprises."

　Otto's face flashed with several expressions of surprise. After all, he could clearly feel that Suzumo, who had previously been a normal person, had actually increased her strength steadily and reached the physical standard of an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie.

　However, Alan's actual strength is definitely not limited to this. It's just that the transformed character is also limited by the original body's strength. Being able to amplify Suzuma to this level is already considered to have reached the limit.

　Of course, Otto wasn't worried about this at all. They were just ordinary A-level strength. Even if a few more came, it would be a piece of cake for him.

　"Then... let me test your strength."

　A golden cube appeared in Otto's hand, which then instantly transformed into a golden longsword. Instantly, Otto's figure appeared in front of Suzumo.

　Suzuma neither dodged nor evaded Otto's attack, but instead took out the greatsword that came with her character and retaliated from below.

　"Ding--"

　With a crisp clang, the two swords clashed and separated instantly. In this brief encounter, Otto had already guessed the material of the sword.

　"There's no way to break the weapon, so..."

　Otto took a half step back, pressed his sword down, and then thrust out again. However, this time he did not intend to fight Lingmo. He made full use of the lightness advantage of the Mimicry Control Key. He never clashed head-on with Lingmo's greatsword. Instead, he skillfully deflected the force, sheathed his sword, and then thrust out again when Lingmo was being pulled by the greatsword, leaving a wound on the girl.

　After all, in the five hundred years of preparing to resurrect Kallen, Otto had done everything he could to prepare, including his own martial arts skills.

　"Has Walter not shown up yet...?"

　Otto frowned slightly as he watched the girl's body grow more and more wounds and her clothes gradually turn red.

　He had already tested Lingmo's strength. Being able to give an ordinary person the physical strength of an A-rank Valkyrie for a short period of time was already quite outstanding as a trump card, but for Otto... it was just so-so.

　The one who truly poses a threat to him is Walter.

　Even though Walter had suffered almost every defeat in his numerous encounters with him, Otto had to admit that Walter's threat was still one that he could not ignore.

　"Since that's the case... then let's put in a little more effort. I refuse to believe that if I were to kill Suzuma right now, Welt wouldn't intervene."

　Having already confirmed his next plan in his mind, Otto took a step back as Suzuma counterattacked, and then the one-handed sword in his hand instantly transformed into a greatsword that Suzuma found somewhat familiar.

　"I'm not going to stay any longer... huh?"

　Otto was stunned.

　He discovered that his heavy swing of the greatsword seemed to be easily blocked by Lingmo, and even the flames on the simulated heavenly fire were blocked by a layer of light purple halo, failing to cause much damage to Lingmo.

　"You finally couldn't hold back anymore."

　Lingmo wiped the blood that had spilled from the corner of her mouth: "Well then, thank you to the kind person who helped me reduce the bleeding. According to the script, I should probably say something now..."

　"This pain is nothing to worry about, but you will suffer ten thousand times more!"

　Chapter 38 Sirin: Cecilia, Why Does Life Sleep?

　In fact, Alan is not a particularly strong character in the game Honkai Impact 3rd.

　Because of his overly popular performance in the first three closed beta tests, Alan was significantly nerfed after his release, making him a weak main DPS character. He only gained some popularity at the start of the game and was quickly forgotten.

　However, Suzumo's system does not simply determine the character card attributes based on the character's game strength. Instead, it combines the character's real-world abilities and game characteristics, and then determines the upper and lower limits based on Suzumo's physical attributes, thus forming the final product.

　After all, Alan in the game is the Destroyer of Fate, while in reality, Alan, who was once employed by the company and is now employed by the space station, is naturally not the Destroyer of Fate, but a pure Preservationist, which is also shown in his voice lines.

　So, this is what the character card Suzuma ultimately drew looked like.

　【Character Kalan (Consumable Type)】

　【Category: Role】

　Star Rating: Four Stars

　[Using a character card grants a certain amount of character energy, maintaining a transformed state for one to three hours. During the transformation, the host's appearance will change according to the transformed character, and their personality will also be affected.]

　[After using the character card Alan, you will automatically gain skills such as Fate Energy Storage, Imaginary Energy, Elemental Conversion Lightning, and Greatsword-type weapons, along with their usage memories.]

　[Character Trait 1: Gains a boost when injured; the more severe the injury, the higher the percentage of physical and damage boost gained.]

　[Character Trait 2: The more severe the injury, the stronger the protective effect of preserving life force energy, and the character gains an additional recovery while severely injured.]

　[Character Trait 3: Each time Fate Energy is used, it can cause a backlash against the user (can be turned off).]

　This character card has a 24-hour cooldown and can be used 2/3 times.

　However, since her opponent was Otto, Suzuma did not rashly activate the automatic damage reduction feature of her skill. Instead, she took advantage of Otto's attempt to test her intentions and had the "kind-hearted" Otto help her reduce her health.

　Purple lightning erupted from the greatsword in Lingmo's hand, striking Otto's soul steel body squarely before he could react, sending him flying backward.

　"Hidden strength? No, is it related to the extent of injury...?"

　Otto's expression immediately turned serious. After all, the characteristics of Suzuma's abilities that he had just deduced were enough to make Otto feel a bit troubled. If the girl's physical abilities could be improved so much based on her current injuries, what if she was in a near-death state?

　Otto was unaware that Suzumo's damage increase from low health had a limit, and it had already reached that limit. However, this did not prevent him from being wary of Suzumo.

　"It seems I need to be more serious..."

　The mimicry fire in Otto's hand began to shimmer with golden light.

　"Be serious? Okay."

　Lingmo smiled slightly and snapped her fingers: "It's decided, Walter, use the pseudo-black hole!"

　As the girl made her move, streaks of dark energy spread out from Otto's area. Facing Otto, Welt naturally dared not hold back in the slightest and immediately used his strongest skill.

　"Tsk..."

　The golden greatsword in Otto's hand instantly transformed into a small golden sphere. Then, a repulsive force was released from the sphere, beginning to neutralize Welt's attack.

　"The Void Treasury was banned, right?"

　Lingmo revealed a "sunny" smile, which, combined with the greatsword in the girl's hand, inevitably reminded one of a character deeply associated with wine and the ancient sword.

　"Then... take another one of my moves!"

　As the lightning rapidly approached once again, Otto calmly extended a hand, and the crimson Godslayer Spear began to flow beneath his sleeve.

　Although the "Shaniat Holy Blood" is indeed precious, Otto brought out the vast majority of his Holy Blood reserves this time because he believed it was his last chance to revive Kallen. Now, it can come in handy.

　however……

　To Otto's horrified gaze, one of his arms flew high into the air in an instant. The red holy blood barrier was just like ordinary blood, failing to block Lingmo's greatsword or the lightning on it.

　"Wait, isn't this Honkai energy?!"

　"Hum..."

　Lingmo did not answer, but continued to press closer.

　The current developments are almost entirely in line with the plans she made before setting off.

　Suzuma knew very well that killing Otto would be extremely difficult. With Cecilia absent, the Holy Blood was almost invincible. However, without Sirin's output, her and Welt's attacks would be no match for Otto's Soul Steel body, which could repair itself at any time.

　To kill Otto, we must wait for these two big Cs to arrive.
