Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

At this moment, Anna seemed to have figured out a lot of things, and the youthful aura of a rookie suddenly faded away.

She slowly raised her other hand and gently stroked Lin Wei's face, looking greedily into his eyes, as if she wanted to completely imprint his appearance in her heart, and murmured with a hint of sadness,

"So... you'll support me too, right?"

"..."

Lin Wei smiled helplessly, what is this?

Shooting yourself in the foot?

I was just talking about Otto, it’s my turn so soon?

"Don't worry, Anna, things are not as bad as you think."

This silly girl is so stubborn that it makes people feel distressed.

Lin Wei thought helplessly while touching her long hair which should have been very beautiful.

"Rita has arrived in Manila. Together with all the Valkyries currently in the Philippines, they've barely managed to maintain a line of defense. As long as we wait for the arrival of reinforcements, we can completely resolve this disaster."

"Really? That's good..."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't blame Lin Wei for panting while speaking. Instead, she said seriously,

"In that case, Lin Wei, don't worry about me. Take this child and leave here quickly!"

As Anna spoke, she gently led the little girl who was hiding behind her out. She first leaned over and comforted her softly, "Be good, Wenwen, don't be afraid. Leave with this brother."

Before Lin Wei could start thinking about the word "Wenwen", he raised his head again, interrupting Lin Wei's thoughts.

"I'll stay here. I'm already strong enough to fight now. I can definitely deal with the Honkai beasts here and wait for the main force to advance here and join me."

Anna said, looking down at the little girl, then looking out the window with a sad face, and said to herself,

"Perhaps there are other survivors here, anxiously and fearfully waiting for rescue?"

Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but feel anxious, and she wanted to rush out immediately to save those poor victims from the water and fire...

"It's not your turn to worry about this! When I was looking for you, I already helped them clean up their living environment. They won't die for a while."

Lin Wei rolled her eyes at her, grabbed her hand and walked towards the window, saying angrily,

"If I really leave you here like you said, I'm really worried about you because of your recklessness. Besides, I promised your captain that I would bring you back safely. You can't let me break my promise, right?"

"But you..."

Anna was anxious, but she did not forget to hold the little girl in her other hand.

"What am I?"

Lin Wei interrupted rudely and said confidently,

"If I want to leave, do you think Rita can keep me?"

If the Honkai hadn't suddenly broken out, forcing a truce, I would have packed up Rita, who was already trapped without realizing it, and taken her away!

"You...you're rude! You're arrogant!"

Anna was so angry,

"Don't you know I'm worried about you?"

"Of course I know."

Lin Wei turned around and gave her a gentle smile.

"But don't make me worry about you~"

"..."

Anna was directly overwhelmed. She lowered her head, blushed, and obediently let Lin Wei lead her away.

"What a pity, the persuasion work is only half done."

Lin Wei sighed helplessly in his heart.

He spent so much effort, so much time talking, and made up such an outrageous excuse, but it only made Anna understand his position and accept the reality that "he and Otto had to be enemies."

This "I am the orthodox destiny" thing is just something Lin Wei made up on the spur of the moment, and even he himself doesn't believe it!

Only a naive and foolish girl like Anna could be fooled by such words. Even though she accepted this setting to a certain extent, she knew one fact:

There is absolutely no way Lin Wei could challenge Otto's position as bishop!

However, Lin Wei didn't really want to fight for this position - whoever wants to sit in this crappy position can do it, and Lin Wei really doesn't care.

However, it was precisely because of this ridiculous and outrageous setting of the "Orthodox Bishop Dispute" that Anna shook her head and refused to accept it.

Then, he revealed the truth about the "Key of Corrosion" and told her that because of this special Key of God, Otto could not tolerate him no matter what, so he had to fight back.

You see, in this way, didn’t Anna accept it calmly?

How can you open the window smoothly without lifting the roof first, don’t you think?

"I'm so despicable. I even use this method to PUA a simple and innocent girl like Anna..."

Lin Wei silently condemned herself.

but……

Lin Wei glanced at Anna helplessly.

This is far from enough to make this stubborn and silly girl follow me willingly!

This is very troublesome...

After all, we can't really ignore her will and kidnap her by force, right?

The moment he saw Anna express her determination to him, he had already strangled this choice - she would definitely hate him!

This will likely accelerate her progress towards becoming a Herrscher.

But this is not the worst - even if she really becomes a Herrscher, Lin Wei is confident that she can help Anna's own consciousness win the final victory.

However, in addition to becoming a Herrscher, there will be another equally bad, or even worse, storyline—

Anna, who was forcibly tied to him and hated him to the core, would only become more devoted to fate.

This would only give Otto, the Bishop of Heaven's Will, more opportunities to exploit - and Anna, who he had forcibly abducted to his side, would become a time bomb;

And this will lead to more chain reactions - for example, all Valkyries will become hostile to him.

And this incident itself will provide Otto with more opportunities to take advantage of, and put himself in an irreversible passive position!

But, if we just let her go back to her destiny like this...

Lin Wei found himself in a dilemma:

Anna's body and heart, I can only take one away now——

Either he could kidnap Anna by force, and then she would hate him for it, completely destroying this move without any chance of recovery;

Either help Anna and let her return to her destiny with her concern and guilt for herself,

Then become Otto's hostage, and become afraid of the consequences...

This is so fucked up!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

No matter which option is chosen, the only one who will benefit is Otto, and he himself will be the undoubted loser, the only difference is whether the loss is big or small.

Therefore, if I want to turn the tables on this situation, I can only choose the third option:

That is to make Anna leave with him willingly, and take her away with her heart and body!

She had just rescued Anna from a life-and-death crisis, allowing her to return from hell to heaven in an instant; under the suspension bridge effect, her heart was now tied to Lin Wei.

Originally, Lin Wei wanted to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to make a final move, but now it has basically been declared a failure as time is too short.

There was no way, she couldn't let go of her responsibilities as a Valkyrie...

"Unfortunately, I can only meet up with Jie'er and look for another opportunity."

Lin Wei thought with some regret, but in fact, he didn't have much hope for this.

As for using Yu Duchen to modify Anna's consciousness, just like what Otto did to Theresa, so that she would follow him willingly?

Not to mention that Lin Wei disdains such despicable means, after all, he still cares about Anna's feelings...

Even if he really did that, would Otto no longer have Yu Duchen in his hands?

Wouldn't the Honkai consciousness play a "little movie" in her consciousness?

So this is a bad option, which will only bring the worst consequences to yourself and Anna!

"...Really, why did I have to go to that coral island in the first place?"

Are you dumbfounded now?

Lin Wei thought with some regret, wishing he could slap himself twice.

If I hadn't known Anna from the beginning, how could such a terrible thing happen now?

It's really pure trouble-making!

"Oh, maybe I'll have to use this 'bishop's seat' issue to cause trouble with Otto..."

Lin Wei was furious and came up with this ultimate plan -

Isn't Anna Shaniat? Isn't she obsessed with destiny and can't let go?

Then why not just let me become one with destiny?

It sounds outrageous, but judging from Anna's strange reaction before, it doesn't seem to be really impossible?

She didn't seem to react much to the word "orthodoxy", but simply felt that she was overestimating her own abilities and was delusional.

Why is this happening?

After thinking about it calmly, Lin Wei understood.

When a person sits on the position of ruler for five hundred years, no matter how the world changes, his position will never change; in this case, the so-called "orthodoxy" itself is a joke!

Whether Otto's rebellion five hundred years ago was successful and his ascension to the bishop's throne stemmed from his rallying of the people under the banner of Kallen, the appeal of his name "Apokalys," or both;

But for Tianming five hundred years later, the situation is completely different.

After all, the grandfathers and even the grandfathers of this generation of people with the Mandate of Heaven all grew up under the rule and teachings of Bishop Otto, and united under his command to fight for the Mandate of Heaven together.

He is a bishop because he is a bishop, there is no reason for it.

In this situation, no one would think about the issue of "orthodoxy" at all, and they would not even have any concept of it.

After all, Bishop Otto had been bishop for five hundred years; so wouldn't it be only natural for him to serve as bishop for another five hundred years?

Even if he wanted to abdicate, it was because he had designated his successor with his irrefutable prestige, so everyone would accept it naturally despite being shocked.

It was precisely because of this that he could hold the three traditional families of the Mandate of Heaven in his hands and manipulate them at will. He could casually bestow the noble surname "Apokalys" on an experimental subject born from a petri dish and designate her as the next bishop of the Mandate of Heaven without anyone objecting.

Even though Theresa was considered a monster when she was first born and almost no one at the headquarters knew her before she took over as bishop, this did not affect the result in the slightest.

Does anyone really think that Theresa is a descendant of the Apokalypses?

She even has Kaslana's genes!

Because of this, he could even manipulate and "cultivate" the two major families of "Kaslana" and "Shaniat" at will, and treat them with contempt like animals, but everyone took it for granted.

All of this is just because he is "Otto", not because of the surname "Apokalys".

"If, under these circumstances, someone suddenly produced irrefutable evidence proving themselves to be the chosen leader on par with Otto...it really doesn't seem impossible."

Lin Wei pondered.

At least he was not some random boy on the street with no basis, but someone with real reasons and evidence, holding a token from five hundred years ago to challenge Otto's position as bishop.

At least from the perspective of people with destiny, although this kind of thing is shocking and outrageous, it does not seem unacceptable?

The only difficulty is:

Otto himself!

as well as……

"How can I prove to everyone that I am qualified to be the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny?"

At the very least, it would be enough to make the group of Valkyries headed by Yulandel "not object" to her taking this position from the bottom of her heart.
