Playful! Collapse!

But......

Arriving at the master bedroom of his home, Yuan Yan looked at the bedroom with only one bed, but he still couldn't help feeling a little anxious in his heart.

not enough.

These forces alone are far from enough.

Cocolia is not dead yet. Although this girl's ability is just so-so, she does have enough talent in making trouble.

Otto is not dead either. In my opinion, this guy is just an enlarged version of Cocolia - but he has a lot of cards in his hand.

If these two guys don't die, Singapore will explode first, and then the Great Destruction will still break out...

If I want to change this terrible future, in addition to strength, I must also find a way to continue to attract the fighting forces that stand on Otto's side.

Plus the information I saw through my deputy leader's authority before I came to Tesla...

Jiuyou, this place in this world has been targeted by Shenzhou so early.

In the original timeline, Kiana's first actual combat experience was after August or September 2014.

And large-scale missions like Jiuyou's must have occurred during the events after her first battle.

After a rough estimate, it is only the beginning of February 2014, so this incident may have happened almost half a year to a whole year in advance.

Think about it carefully.

Chi You in Jiuyou was originally only in a sealed state, not completely dead.

In the original novel, the protagonists of the Far East branch accidentally unsealed it and released it on the spot.

In other words, something could happen in this place at any time.

Even if Kiana, Mei, and Bronya did not gather together to act together this time, no one can guarantee whether other people would do the same stupid thing.

In addition, Chi You will become Kevin's 'food' to replenish his energy in the future...Haha, although I don't want to think that far, it is better to find a way to get rid of this thing.

Procrastination is not my style. I know something will go wrong, and I am too lazy to wait any longer.

After the two doctors confirm that I am in good health, I will go to Walter to apply for permission to carry out this mission.

...........................................

A few days later. St. Freya Academy

In the Far East branch's principal's office, Theresa looked at the blond 'young man' in the light curtain and asked him suspiciously.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious to contact me in the middle of the night?"

"...Well, Grandpa does have something urgent to contact you about."

Seeing Theresa regain her usual lovely demeanor, Otto secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, Theresa has that lovely attitude back.

From this point of view, she should not have noticed the secrets between me and my old friend, otherwise, with her temper, she would definitely not be very nice to me now.

"Grandpa saw the mission report from the Far East Branch and learned that you were going to cooperate with Shenzhou to explore the Jiuyou area together."

"Ah, that's right."

Listening to Otto's words, Theresa asked with a little curiosity.

"What happened over there?"

"After all, that's the area where the Shenzhou hero Ji Lin sealed the Judgment-level Honkai Beast [Chi You]. If the rumors are true, then Chi You may not be dead yet."

Seeing the surprised look on Theresa's face, Otto said solemnly.

"Although Chiyou has been sealed for a long time, it is still a Judgment-level Honkai beast."

"Well, I'll be careful."

After remembering Ji Zi's medical examination report, Theresa said helplessly.

"After all, Jizi's health is already very poor, and I don't want to add any more burden to my deputy."

"...You've really grown up, Theresa."

After hearing Theresa's rare sensible words, Otto spoke with a hint of emotion.

"In this way, Grandpa can finally rest assured and hand over the destiny to you step by step."

"Ah, that's the only thing I'll let go of."

Hearing Otto's sigh, Theresa suddenly spoke in great panic.

"Grandpa, you know I'm not cut out to be a leader. Even the Far East branch was managed by Jizi for me. If you let me manage everyone in Tianming, then—"

"Grandpa also rose from being a complete nobody to becoming the leader of the New Mandate."

Looking at his panicked granddaughter, Otto's eyes were full of doting.

"Don't think about it so hard. Amber will help you, and others will support you."

"However, this is not what Grandpa wants to talk about today. In fact, Grandpa has a confidential mission for you this time."

"...Please go ahead."

Otto was slightly surprised to hear Theresa speak honorifics with a serious expression, but immediately switched to his work attitude.

"During your trip to Shenzhou, Anti-Entropy will definitely be carrying out operations in secret with unwavering intentions."

"If you meet someone who resists entropy... No, Grandpa, just be frank."

"If you encounter anyone from Cocolia, try to capture them alive. Grandfather will then send someone to help you extract all the information from them."

"Huh? Cocolia?"

It’s not Leader Walter and Siegfried, Grandpa...something is wrong today.

Looking at his surprised granddaughter, Otto nodded slightly, and very rarely revealed a hint of murderous intent in front of Theresa.

"Cocolia is the one who pushed forward the Third Honkai. If a madwoman like her continues to exist in this world, it will only make it more difficult for us, the Destiny, to fight the Honkai."

"If Anti-Entropy doesn't intend to deal with her, then we can't expect the enemy to engage in infighting."

"We'll do what they don't do. I don't want to drag this out any longer."

"Um, Grandpa..."

Looking at Otto's expression at this moment, Theresa asked a little worriedly.

"You're acting strangely today. What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong, little Theresa?"

Seeing the worry in Theresa's eyes, Otto felt much better after mentioning Cocolia.

"Do you think something's wrong with Grandpa? Or do you think Grandpa shouldn't say such righteous words?"

“…both sides.”

"Well, then Grandpa should really be happy today."

After saying this, the murderous intent on Otto's face gradually dissipated.

"You've really grown up a lot, Theresa."

"To be honest, I didn't deal with Cocolia out of any sense of justice."

"But it's an indisputable fact that this woman has already caused harm to the world. I am also a member of this world, so when I am threatened..."

"——I want to clean up the trash. That's not so hard to understand, right?"

"Huh...that's normal."

After hearing Otto's words, Theresa saluted him half-jokingly.

"Your subordinate, Theresa Apokalis, will definitely complete the mission assigned by the bishop!"

Looking at Theresa's expression at this moment, Otto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Well, okay, then I'll wait for good news, Branch Manager Theresa."

After the grandfather and grandson finished their friendly exchange, Otto couldn't help but continued to laugh out loud.

"Hahahaha, Theresa...you've really grown up."

Then, as the smile faded, a look of loneliness and pity suddenly appeared on Otto's face.

Since Yuan Yan was no longer suitable as a sacrifice and Siegfried and Yuan Yan were both struggling with anti-entropy, Otto naturally had to choose a new sacrifice.

Unfortunately, Theresa, who picked up K423, and Theresa's deputy Jizi became the new sacrifices most suitable for K423's growth in Otto's eyes.

He really hopes that his beloved granddaughter can continue to grow up happily.

However, before loving Theresa, what Otto wanted to do most was to complete his plan and realize his long-cherished wish.

Otto had no hesitation in choosing Theresa and Himeko as alternative sacrifices.

But, not having hesitation doesn’t mean that I don’t feel uncomfortable.

When Amber finished processing some documents and returned to Otto's office, she saw Otto looking very tired, which was very rare.

"Lord Otto?"

Seeing Otto's tired look, Amber asked cautiously.

"If you're too tired, I'll take care of those things."

"Karen Fantasy has recently updated to the latest version, would you like to..."

"amber."

After interrupting Amber's caring words, Otto put away his cowardly look and turned back into the conspirator who calmly carried out his plan.

"What about the regular contact from the ghost side?"

"Ghost said she's in some trouble and isn't ready to continue. Please give her some more time."

"...Then tell her to be careful."

Otto, who heard the news, let out a breath.

As a Valkyrie who had been promoted to A-rank as an intelligence agent, Otto certainly had no doubts about Ghost's abilities.

In fact, if Otto had not realized that the project Cocolia was working on was related to the Herrscher, he would not have used such a trump card on Cocolia.

Now, even Ghost is having trouble with Cocolia...

Tsk, it seems that the investigation mission that Rita came to me to apply for before is also related to what happened with the ghost.

"Amber, let's put everything else aside for now and thoroughly investigate all the people and businesses that Cocolia has come into contact with."

At this moment, Amber, like Theresa before, felt a very rare murderous aura from Otto.

"That woman is too dangerous. For my plan..."

"——It would be better if she died sooner."

...............................................

PS: 1W, continue tomorrow.

PS: About Shenzhou’s positioning.

Let me first tell you something that may be a little counterintuitive.

During the approximately one thousand years between Kevin's soaking in the water, Su's return to spy, and Fu Hua's being stabbed in the back, Shenzhou... was actually the world's largest power.

In the hundreds of years after Fu Hua's death, according to Otto's own answers in the Broken Sword Record, Shenzhou and Tianming did not interfere with each other during these five hundred years, and Shenzhou relied on martial artists and mechanical patrols to resolve the destruction incidents in its own territory.

In other words, in the four hundred years or so between the emergence of the New Mandate of Heaven and the emergence of Anti-Entropy, Shenzhou fell from first to second.

Then, after Anti-Entropy emerged and the World Snake gained a firm foothold and gained confidence, Shenzhou moved from second to fourth.

The fact that they were able to handle the collapse incident that broke out in such a large area on their own is actually quite significant.

Also from the Q&A session in Zhejianlu, Otto said that the Taixu Sword School has existed for hundreds of years, and the martial arts they use are a modified version of the Taixu Sword Qi created by Ma Feima.

They cannot compare with sword energy, but considering that the psychological training of the Valkyrie is a simplified version of the mind-enhancing technique, I think the skills left by Ma Laoliu should be stronger than the same-positioned training methods of Tianming.

Combining these, before the technology of Destiny Reverse Entropy was greatly improved, the mid-level combat power of Shenzhou was just short of a weapon (the Valkyrie Armor was not put into actual combat before 2010). It is not as bad as imagined. It is not shameful to be inferior to the three organizations, really.
