People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"Aiyin, where's Xia Ling?"

"I don't know." Einstein answered simply: "Her communication signal disappeared directly. This situation does not seem to be after being captured. Instead, it seems that... the communicator was directly destroyed."

"However, considering Xia Ling's strength, it should have been damaged accidentally during the battle."

Aiyin thought Theresa was worried about Xia Ling, so she comforted her.

"In that case, let's wait a little longer..." Theresa looked a little hesitant.

"Okay, then wait a little longer... hm?"

Aiyin's expression turned strange: "Theresa, why is there light behind you?"

"Glowing?" Theresa was stunned, then immediately began to activate the Honkai energy and infuse it into the holy marks on her back.

After a while, Yaesakura slowly emerged, nodded at Theresa, and then disappeared again.

"Huh..." Theresa's body suddenly relaxed as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Aiyin, gather the Titan troops at the third skyport and let's go."

"But the target is not Heimdall Laboratory."

"But...over the Atlantic Ocean."

"Let's retreat immediately."

Chapter 20 Otto: It's broken, it's coming for me

Destiny Headquarters, First Airport.

"Your Majesty Bishop!"

"What's wrong, Amber? What's the hurry?"

Otto turned around and saw Amber running towards him in a hurry.

"The Second Herrscher has awakened in Heimdall's lab and is currently gathering her followers. According to satellite data, Benares is heading to her location."

"As expected."

Otto took a sip of red wine and said, "What about Theresa and the others? Judging from the time when the energy line of Heimdall Laboratory was cut off, they should have run into Xilin."

"...Bishop." Amber's voice was obviously hesitant: "According to the current radar images..."

"Lady Theresa...seems to have run away again."

"Puff - cough cough cough..." Otto obviously didn't expect that Theresa could give him a second chance to escape.

"No, why did Theresa run away again? Was it Xia Ling who taught her to do so?" Otto's voice was filled with doubts. "But this is not right? If she wanted to run away from the beginning, why did she have to come to the Third Airport?"

"Where are they now?"

"They are already some distance away from the Destiny Headquarters. Judging from Hyperion's speed, they should have left immediately after cutting off the energy lines."

"Is this some new harassment tactic? She made such a fuss to break into Tianming just to cause some damage?"

For the first time, Otto felt as if he could not keep up with the young man's train of thought.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Amber said in a calm voice the news that made Otto's eyes jump: "However, it seems that because the bishop had forcibly used Yu Duchen to suppress Xilin's awakening, Xilin did not seem to pay attention to Hyperion's departure, but came towards the direction of the central floating island."

"..."

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

"I see." Otto narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized: "No wonder she had to take a detour at the beginning and deliberately delayed for a while before entering the airport..."

"She knew that I would not allow Xilin to awaken immediately, but would have to wait until Theresa and the others were seated, so she deliberately wasted time with me and made me suppress Xilin's awakening repeatedly..."

"Even though there is a target on Hyperion, the Conquest Gem, which Xilin cares about, she still chose to come to the headquarters for revenge first. Indeed, anyone who was repeatedly pressed on the head three or four times would be extremely annoyed. In addition, there is the factor that Benares was beaten by the headquarters before... Wait, it seems that she also led Benares to the headquarters?"

Otto raised his head instantly: "Oh no, Amber, Benares was injured by Fu Hua before, right? Where is Fu Hua now?"

"After completing the mission, Miss Fu Hua returned to the headquarters as ordered by you, and is now approaching the central floating island. Isn't this the order you gave to Rita personally..." Amber's voice paused as she realized the problem.

"Tsk, it's still a double insurance... No matter what the situation is, Xilin will definitely be led to us."

"Alas... Although the first phase of the plan was successful, I was still completely tricked."

Otto patted his head in annoyance. "Youlandel and Xi are both on the central floating island now, right? Let them leave immediately."

"Fu Hua will probably be caught up before she reaches the headquarters. Amber, monitor her location and send it to Youlan Dai'er in real time. Have them go directly to Xilin."

"Then, prepare a flying vehicle for me. I want to go there in person."

"Although Youlandel and Xi are working together to defeat the current Second Herrscher, my goal is not to kill her..."

"Wait, that's not right. If I ask Yulandel to let Xilin go... it's bad. She won't agree to this, not to mention that I'm planning to..."

"What a good trick! Even if Xilin is driven to chase Hyperion again, she will be consumed by Yulandel at the headquarters. Moreover, this is based on the premise that I can convince Yulandel."

"But how could she be so sure that Yulandel was definitely at the headquarters instead of guarding Heimdall's laboratory? If Yulandel was nearby at the time, her plan would be completely disrupted, and she would end up with both of us losing."

"How dare she insert such a gambling game into such a place where everything is so interconnected..."

......

"What's wrong? Sister Bianca."

Sitting on the edge of the floating island, Xi swung his short legs innocently: "Does the bishop have any new mission?"

Yulandel did not answer immediately, but looked at the communication on the terminal with a serious expression.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, I think I can complete this mission by myself. If you want support, I can fly there much faster than taking Xiaoxi with me."

"Yulan Dai'er, I know you don't want Xiaoxi to participate in such a dangerous mission, but the ability of the Second Herrscher is not something you can easily deal with now."

"You don't have any way to counter her spatial ability. You can't expect that after she exiles you to the imaginary space, you can slowly find it back with the help of Gnius."

"Xiao Xi can interfere with the Second Herrscher's spatial ability by covering the scroll in advance. Her role is indispensable to you. If you can master it... Never mind. Anyway, take Xiao Xi with you as soon as possible."

"Ugh......"

"Don't sigh, Sister Bianca, I'm very strong."

Although Yulandel didn't say anything, Xi could roughly guess what was going on from her argument with the bishop just now.

"Besides, I still have you, my sister, to protect me."

Xi casually opened a painting and jumped in, leaving only her little head exposed.

"If Sister Bianca is worried that I'm not fast enough, I'm very portable. You can take this painting with you."

"Xiao Xi... After all, the enemy this time is the Herrscher. You must not save those powerful scrolls of yours and put your own safety first."

Due to the urgency of the situation, Yulandel did not have time to persuade her further. Holding the scroll in her arms, Yulandel gave some worried instructions.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not a rat. I'll use it when necessary."

Although Youlandel was very worried, Xi didn't feel any pressure at all.

After all, Xi is someone who has read the script seriously. At this point in time, no matter who fights the Second Herrscher, it will definitely not be her and Yulandel's turn to fight. The role of the two of them is probably to delay her and wait for Otto to deal with it.

I just don't know what excuse Otto is going to use to get rid of Yulandel this time?

Chapter 21 Fu Hua: You made the plan, and in the end you want me to get beaten?

"Ms. Theresa, are you sure our current decision is correct enough?"

Aiyin watched Hyperion gradually move away from the headquarters of Savior, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Before Xia Ling left for the mission, she talked to me."

"Although there are some things I still don't quite understand, but from what I do understand, I think her decision should be fine."

Theresa's eyes were steady as she gradually slowed down Hyperion.

"So, what did she say?"

"She said..."

Time goes back to before Xia Ling left the third airport.

"Theresa, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong, Xia Ling? Why do you look so serious?" Theresa was a little confused.

"Well... because of the game with Otto, we probably lost from the beginning."

Xia Ling said slowly: "After the Oceania incident, Hai Mo once talked to me alone. At that time, she told me a guess, that is, Otto might not care whether Wendy would betray her destiny."

"In her opinion, in the entire Oceania incident, Otto actually only cares about one thing, and that is whether Wendy can maintain her own identity."

"Because, Haimo's first death was arranged by Otto. He needs Wendy's rule to verify the correctness of this conjecture."

"The results are obviously very gratifying. Due to her bond with Haimo, Wendy was able to remain rational throughout the whole process, except for some changes in her personality."

"Under this premise, Theresa, why do you think Otto went to such great lengths to kidnap Kiana?"

"As far as I know, Fu Hua transferred from the headquarters to St. Freya Academy shortly after Kiana enrolled. This means that Kiana has been under Otto's control from the very beginning."

"You mean... Otto also wants to replicate Wendy's success and turn Kiana into a self-aware Herrscher?" Theresa was not stupid. After connecting the dots, she quickly found the key to the matter.

"It's not a replica, but a premeditated plan." Xia Ling shook her head slowly: "Compared to Kiana, Wendy is more like a pleasant surprise to Otto."

"If this speculation is taken as the premise, then the two years that Kiana was in school were probably the time Otto used to cultivate a bond with Kiana."

Xia Ling said with a heavy face: "It has been more than a day since Kiana was abducted. If Otto wanted to make her law-abiding, he could have done so long ago. Why did he have to wait for us to come?"

"So, the key to Otto's plan is not Kiana, but us?" Theresa suddenly realized.

"Yes, I'm afraid that once we make contact with the energy connection and get close to Heimdall's laboratory, Xilin will 'happen' to walk out of the laboratory and come face to face with us."

"But, this is an open conspiracy... We can't just leave Kiana alone..."

"Don't worry, Theresa. Since I'm telling you this, there must be a way to change the current situation." Xia Ling consoled her, "Although we will most likely have to face Xilin in the end, at least we can prepare in advance and weaken her strength to a certain extent."

"However, this also requires the cooperation of you and Aiyin. Next, you just need to wait for my signal..."

Listening to Theresa's slow narration, Einstein's eyes changed from puzzlement to surprise and then to contemplation...

"I understand."

Finally, Aiyin nodded: "In that case, let's follow her idea."

......

On the other side, when everyone was scheming against each other, an honest man suddenly got into trouble.

That’s right, it’s our poor classmate Fu Hua.

After confirming that Ji Zi and Tesla were safely sent to the prison by Rita, Fu Hua wanted to take a look at the situation and then return to the central floating island to report. As a result, she ran into an unexpected person.

"Kiana... No, I should call you Silin now."

"Well...I remember you."

Xilin's eyes gradually became dangerous.

"Same funny outfit, same hateful face, brought back a lot of unpleasant memories for me."

"And this time, you actually injured my family before I came again."

"Heh...you're coming from this direction, which means that neither Otto nor Rita are telling me the truth?"

"Xia Ling's original guess turned out to be correct..."

Fu Hua sneered: "It seems that I still trust Otto's character too much."

"Oh, are you done talking?" Xilin raised her finger in disdain: "In that case, then you should pay the price for your rudeness."

In an instant, several purple-black holes appeared out of thin air in the space behind Xilin, and several sub-sky spears slowly poked their heads out from these holes.

Then, it rushed towards Fu Hua at a terrifying speed.

Relying on the speed advantage given by Shadow Knight Yuelun, Fu Hua managed to avoid these sub-sky spears, but before she had time to catch her breath, more attacks fell from the sky.

I can't go on like this, I have to find a way to get closer...

Fu Hua was very clear about Kiana's physical fitness. Although it was much stronger than her peers, it was still not good enough for her. The battle in New Zealand had already proved that even if Xilin controlled her body, she would definitely not be able to beat Fu Hua in close combat. Therefore, this time she just needed to use the same trick again...

After suffering an injury from having her arm grazed by a Sub-Sky Spear, Fu Hua successfully found an opportunity to get close to Xilin from the dense barrage of bullets, and she successfully seized this opportunity.

The body instantly passed through the gap of the Spear of the Sky, and the Taixu Grip in Fu Hua's hand began to glow slightly. The terrifying energy of collapse gathered in the palm of her palm, and then instantly blasted towards the unprepared Xilin.
