Collapse, I save everything alone

Even if Amber really wanted to attack her, Theresa was confident that she could subdue her on the spot.

While the two were talking, they had already walked across the square.

If you continue walking along the path ahead, you will reach the church commemorating Saint Kallen, which is also where Amber meets Theresa.

"Well... I'll stop here."

Mingyu stopped.

"Hey, aren't you coming with me?"

Theresa was a little surprised.

I clearly agreed to come with her——

Mingyu shrugged and explained:

"As you said, Amber and Otto have a very close relationship. I'm afraid she won't have a good attitude when she sees me. I'd better avoid her for a while."

He really did kill Otto, so Miss Amber probably didn't want to see him.

After a pause, Mingyu smiled and said:

"Or, Theresa, do you feel insecure when I'm not with you?"

"...No!"

Theresa curled her lips.

Although she said this, she had indeed unconsciously regarded Mingyu as a very reliable junior.

When I went to visit Wendy at the Oceania branch...

The girl shook her head, said goodbye to Mingyu, and set out for the church alone.

Mingyu looked at Theresa's departing back and began to prepare himself.

——Perhaps in Theresa's view, meeting Amber would not be a dangerous thing, but Mingyu naturally knew that the meeting between these two "sisters" would not be a harmonious scene.

The reminders and warnings that Youlan Dell gave him when he was in the Oceania branch were not groundless.

after all……

That "Amber" is probably no longer "Amber" anymore.

The problems with the Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Consciousness have been solved, the changes with the Herrscher of Stars have been dealt with by the World Serpent, and the Herrscher of Domination was even killed by him silently.

Then, the next Herrscher to appear would naturally be the eleventh.

——【The Ruler of Constraints】.

Chapter 254: The Ruler of Constraint

When Theresa arrived at the church commemorating Saint Kallen, Amber was already waiting there.

Although they are both A-series clones, Amber, as a bionic mechanical human, has a more mature body than her.

Well, maybe it can also be regarded as what I will look like when I grow up, if I can continue to grow up.

"Lady Theresa, you are here."

Seeing Theresa coming, Amber bowed slightly.

Perhaps to commemorate Otto, Amber was wearing black today, and with the pigtail hanging on one side, she looked a bit like a widow.

"Long time no see, Amber."

Theresa nodded and came to her side.

The girl raised her head slightly and saw the statue in front of her clearly.

The Redemption of Saint Kallen - It is said that five hundred years ago, Kallen Kaslana was nearly executed in public by the Old Destiny in front of this church.

And it was during that execution and the subsequent chaos that she sacrificed herself to protect the people, and was regarded as a hero by the people.

Ok……

Although I have seen the influence of Kallen Kaslana, Amber really looks exactly like this saint, as if they were carved from the same mold.

If she could continue to grow, she would probably be able to... become like this, right?

Theresa shook her head slightly and cleared this somewhat extravagant wish from her mind.

Her eyes fell on the statue of Saint Kallen, where a tombstone was erected.

"This is Grandpa's..."

"Yes, it is the cenotaph of Lord Otto."

——His real body had already disappeared into the world bubble along with Mingyu, and Amber could only erect a tombstone for Otto in the form of a cenotaph.

With a sigh, Theresa consoled him:

"…I'm sorry, Amber. I know that it's hard for you to accept your grandfather's passing."

"I understand what you mean, Lady Theresa. I am already trying my best to do so."

Amber replied in a calm voice.

The two stood quietly in front of Otto's grave. For a moment, no one spoke.

It was Teresa who started the conversation first:

"I still remember that when I was still at the headquarters, I often pestered you to take me out to play. When I was unhappy, you were the one who accompanied me to vent."

"...Of course I remember, Lady Theresa."

Amber's face inadvertently showed a look of pain, but then quickly returned to normal:

"I still remember that it was you who ignored Lord Otto's orders and insisted on keeping me alive during that experiment."

"Well, I have never agreed with many of Grandpa's actions, especially those things... hurting others for inexplicable reasons."

Theresa whispered:

"A-303, A-310, these were our code names at that time."

Before they were given names, their lives were quite monotonous and boring.

Training and examination day after day is their entire life.

"Um……"

"But now we have all changed a lot. According to the number, Amber, you are still my [sister]."

In fact, bionic people have no concept of birthdays. Moreover, as lives born in batches, there is probably not much time difference between Theresa and Amber.

"It will probably take me some time to get used to being called that."

Amber shook her head slightly and said:

"Lady Theresa, I heard from Lord Youlan Dell that Mingyu seems to have returned?"

"Um……"

Theresa nodded.

Mingyu's return was no longer something that needed to be concealed. After all, he had already visited the Oceania branch in broad daylight.

Looking at Amber who had become silent again, Theresa said with some concern:

"Amber, you..."

"I know what you want to say, Lady Theresa."

Amber said calmly:

"I hate him, but I know I don't have enough to fight him."

That person could even kill Lord Otto, who was nearly omnipotent in her mind. He must be an extremely difficult character to deal with.

"..."

Theresa was speechless for a moment.

Amber is her close relative and Otto is her grandpa, which makes it difficult for her to persuade Amber to let go.

Thousands of words can only be reduced to two words:

"……Feel sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. This matter has nothing to do with you."

After a pause, Amber continued:

"It's me who should say sorry to you first."

"...?"

Theresa looked up in confusion, not knowing what Amber meant for a moment.

"...Lady Theresa, I really can't let it go."

Amber shook her head gently and whispered:

“So, I have prepared in advance.”

Almost at the same time, Theresa felt that she suddenly had no strength in her whole body.

She knelt weakly on the ground, barely supporting herself with her hands:

"amber……"

As the holder of the bond of Judas's Oath, Theresa knew very well what this felt like.

Back then, on the eve of heading to the battlefield of the Second Collapse, Otto had once made her feel this kind of powerlessness.

——This is the [Divine Grace Barrier] of the Ruler of Constraint!

The power to negate all Honkai energy within a domain is surprisingly effective for Theresa, who is a fusion warrior.

Why... does Amber have such power?

The answer emerged in Theresa's mind:

Amber became a Herrscher!

But how did she...

Amber began to walk back and forth beside her, explaining softly:

"Lady Theresa, you want to know how I became a Herrscher? I can tell you the reason...

"Although Lord Otto has passed away, the large amount of research data he left behind has not been destroyed. All of that data is recorded in the core database of Destiny. Only Lord Otto and I have the right to mobilize it."

Among them, there is a lot of research on the Herrscher and the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Using the corpse of Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, as a research subject, Otto has produced a large number of results related to the Herrscher over the past decade.

At the same time, it also includes relevant research on the [Tree of Imaginary Numbers].

While Amber was assisting the acting bishop Yulandel in handling daily affairs, she was also secretly studying this data.

From these records, she found ideas for revenge and gaining power.

She made a deal with the devil and in return she got... the power of revenge.

——This authority is called [restraint].

"still……"

Theresa barely raised her hands, trying to summon the Oath of Judas to resist, but pitch-black chains emerged from the void and entangled her hands and feet.

And her Oath of Judah was wrapped in countless dark chains and no longer responded to her call.

"It's useless, Lady Theresa. You are the user of the Key of Constraint and should know best how terrifying this power is."

Amber shook her head slightly:

"There is nothing you can do within my domain."

"What are you going to do..."

Theresa asked with some difficulty.

"...I plan to use you and the residents of Klosten as hostages to lure him here."
