Punishment Room

"Speaking of which, our Tai Xu Sword Sect is surprisingly large..." Lin Chaoyu said with a subtle expression.

Although she was dragged to bed right after being resurrected, Lin Chaoyu was clearly not stupid. Through subtle conversations with others, she roughly understood the current situation.

I have to say, something's really wrong with the size of my business, very wrong.

Who's the kind-hearted person to gather thirteen people?

"It's not a problem for our grandmaster." Qin Suyi yawned and rubbed her chest. "Grandmaster really squeezed hard... I think if thirteen people can't handle our grandmaster, everyone needs to reflect on that."

"With unlimited stamina, you can settle things with a hammer." Danzhu limped over, carrying a plate of rice. Her lower body was still aching slightly. Of course, Fu Hua, the strongest person in terms of physique, was also experiencing a slight ache in her lower body.

"What I mean by 'settling' is satisfaction."

"The so-called satisfaction in this kind of thing is just the feeling after both parties are exhausted, right?" Danzhu rolled her eyes.

Qin Suyi remained silent for a moment, unable to refute.

"Liu Bai has an unlimited stamina bar and can refresh his status if necessary... If you want Liu Bai to experience a sense of satisfaction, ban his status refresh skill, and then go to Elysia and have her organize a larger-scale party."

"... Let's just forget about it." With the expansion of this one-to-many gathering, uneven distribution is inevitable. How can we deal with that?

"Speaking of which, where is our grandmaster?"

Jiang Wanxi asked a question.

"Our grandmaster has returned to Schicksal first. We can catch up with him after we've rested," Su Mei replied.

To be honest, although it's not as serious as Danzhu Fu Hua, quite a few people are still walking unsteadily and need to slow down.

"I see... Schicksal, the organization that Otto and Kallen are in, right?"

Seven Swords and Otto and Kallen are very familiar with each other, and Lin Chaoyu has to call Otto and Kallen "sister".

"Your sister Otto has been the Bishop of Schicksal for five hundred years," Su Mei said with a smile. "You should take some time to familiarize yourselves with the times."

"Then Second Senior Sister, you'll have to come with us!"

"Oh... so the problem of the Finality is no longer a concern?"

In Schicksal's office, Liu Bai called several important figures together and recounted his story with the Awakened One.

"... So victory is really that simple?"

Mei couldn't help but facepalm.

Yes, victory. As long as the Herrscher of Finality is imprisoned inside the moon, everyone can declare victory.

Crossing the Honkai?

No, no, no, this purpose is only necessary to survive.

But now that there's a way to survive without crossing the Honkai, why bother crossing the Honkai?

"That also depends on Liu Bai. If Liu Bai hadn't encountered the Awakened One, I don't think the other party would have been so kind as to help."

Mobius curled his lip.

"It's less about the Awakened One being enthusiastic and more about them being involved because they're connected—am I right, Vita?"

"Hmm... there's really no way to refute that."

Vita shrugged. Because of her connection with the Awakened One, she was also included in the meeting as an important figure.

"However, we should try to deal with the Finality the World as much as possible. After all, Finality End of the World is also Herrscher. With the emergence of the Herrscher of Finality, the activity of Honkai Energy worldwide will definitely increase significantly. At that time, it may still be a tug-of-war with the Honkai."

"We can still accept that level of back-and-forth fighting," Mei said casually.

If we can survive, why be afraid of this protracted battle?

However, Mei did indeed take Vita's advice to heart.

After all, Honkai Energy is a very versatile energy source, but if it becomes too active, it will eventually become a very troublesome thing.

The idea is to research other basic energy sources, but in a world where the atmosphere contains Honkai Energy, it is impossible to completely avoid Honkai Energy —and it is impossible to directly abandon Honkai Energy, such an advantageous energy source.

As long as they don't use the Herrscher, they can slowly accumulate cards and gradually build the Moonlight Throne.

Anyway, the Moonlight Throne isn't a real interstellar warship; it's just an atmospheric warship with some maneuverability in outer space. Whether it's Previous Era or a current civilization, even if the Moonlight Throne were at its maximum speed, it wouldn't be able to travel more than a few steps in outer space.

They can only hit the moon; they can't even self-destruct beyond that point.

So even if hundreds or thousands of these ships explode, our civilization is still not an interstellar civilization. There has been no evolution at the civilization level. Even if the Honkai increases accordingly, it will be stuck at a limit—yes, this is a kind of bug-exploiting operation.

They possess the firepower of an interstellar civilization, yet they are not an interstellar civilization themselves. Furthermore, the Moonlight Throne has a mechanism to counter the Honkai, so it would be strange if they couldn't nerf the Honkai.

In addition, Kiana and Otto, both Herrscher with spatial abilities, also joined the fray.

The solution is now simple: the Moonlight Throne charges up outside, and when it's almost full, Kiana and Otto open a portal to connect to the Imaginary Space inside the moon, allowing the Moonlight Throne to fire inwards. Once finished, they shut it down and continue charging.

The main character is a scoundrel.

"In short, we can put the Honkai issue on hold for now. Most of the projects can be scaled back, and we can keep only the Moonlight Throne Project and the research and development of Honkai suppression drugs... What do you think, teacher?"

"It's true that we can temporarily cut some of the funding... tsk, I always feel like you're trying to scam funding."

"If you take it seriously, you've already lost."

Mei tilted her head, a rare playful expression appearing on her face.

"Hey hey hey! Since we don't need to Honkai about the Honkai, can everyone—"

"Can't."

Liu Bai raised his hand to interrupt Elysia.

"Speaking of which, who let this guy sneak into the meeting?"

"Well... isn't Aili somewhat of an important person too?"

Mobius looked up at the ceiling, clearly somewhat embarrassed.

"Drag her away, drag her away." Liu Bai waved his hand, and immediately two Herrscher of Domination berets grabbed Elysia from behind.

We're having a serious conversation, so you party addict shouldn't interrupt.

"I'll reconsider the funding issue, and all other aspects—"

"You were just talking about funding, weren't you?"

Himeko slammed the door open with a bang.

"My interstellar travel plan is currently facing a severe funding shortage!"

"No money? Get out! Men, drag him away."

"Hey hey hey? Liu Bai, you bastard!"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes as he watched Himeko, who was being held down by the Herrscher of Domination and struggling, being pinned down.

You haven't even taken care of your own little plot of land yet, how can you be thinking about interstellar travel? No matter what, it would take at least ten or eight years to actually do that, right?

Stop talking nonsense. If you want money for this plan, I'd rather sell my body.

"... Himeko's suggestion is indeed worth considering."

As Himeko was being dragged away, Otto, unusually, said something kind.

Yes, Himeko wants to explore the universe, Otto wants to spread the divine glory throughout the universe.

Although everyone's goals are completely different, as long as the process is the same, that's fine.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Liu Bai reached out and tapped Otto on the head. Did he really think he didn't know what Otto was thinking?

"Alright, this meeting was mainly to inform you of these things. I'll consider Mei's suggestion after the meeting... Is there anything else?"

"Um... Your Lord God, would you like to visit your new home?"

Otto hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Although he had a week-long holiday, Liu Bai actually didn't return for a week and a half because he had to deal with the Tai Xu Sword Sect —so the holiday naturally became a week and a half.

Otto had a lot more to do in that week and a half.

—For example, build a super luxurious villa that can accommodate fifty or sixty people.

Okay, to be honest, if Kallen hadn't stopped her, she would have turned the entire Schicksal Headquarters into a villa.

Well, Kallen stopped Otto in a very simple way, just one sentence. "Isn't the villa you built just a reskinned Schicksal Headquarters?"

Chapter 606 Punishment Room

It has to be said that Kallen is, to a certain extent, Otto's bridle, and knows exactly how to keep Otto in check.

After thinking it over, Otto had to admit that the claim of "skinning" was indeed true.

After all, no matter how much chaos they cause, there are some things in headquarters that cannot be touched—or rather, if they are touched, they'll be scolded by Liu Bai.

Following this line of thought, a complete overhaul would present many problems, so Otto thought about it and instead reached an agreement with the Herrscher of Domination.

Well, although the Herrscher of Domination wanted to complete this task independently, she couldn't overcome Otto's superior intelligence. If Otto wanted to, he had plenty of ways to control the Herrscher of Domination. Thus, during this week and a half vacation, Liu Bai's villa was perfectly completed.

"My new home? Of course you can go and see it."

Liu Bai had no reason to refuse Otto's invitation.

"Where is it?"

"Right by the lake, across from Reanna's cabin."

The lakeside at Schicksal Headquarters is arguably the most scenic spot on the Schicksal Headquarters, and Otto and the Herrscher of Domination have certainly put a lot of effort into this.

"Let's not delay, let's go."

Lakeside

"You guys really did... create an outrageous building."

Liu Bai looked at the villa, whose scale was almost comparable to the headquarters, and his lips twitched slightly, but... he wasn't surprisingly surprised.

I feel that this situation makes a lot of sense when it comes to Otto and the Herrscher of Domination.

"I'm glad you like it." Otto chuckled. "Please come in, some people should already be here."

"Some people?"

"For example, me."

Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, led Alisa out of the door, followed by a group of Unfading Blade also dressed in maid outfits.

"...?"

"My Lord God, isn't it reasonable for a house like this to have over a hundred maids?"

Is this reasonable?

Liu Bai's expression was strange, but he had to admit that this maid group was indeed very pleasing to the eye.

The Herrscher of Domination next to her tilted her head, her expression unreadable beneath her eyepatch—if it weren't for her status, the Herrscher of Domination would have taken on the role of maid herself.

As for the reason for her identity... well, now the head maid of the Unfading Blade... or rather, the Unfading Blade maid corps is Rita.

This could also be considered a promotion for Rita herself?

Otto directly assigned Bianka, the former captain, to familiarize herself with the role that Reanna had played back then, namely the Grand Marshal of the Army of Schicksal. In the event of war, Bianka would still be the commander of the troops.

As for the current vice-captain of the maid troupe, well, it's Alisa, who follows behind Rita.

The members of the Unfading Blade had no objection to this appointment. After all, no matter how easy it seemed for Alisa to bully, she was still a genuine Herrscher, and now she was Rita's personal disciple.

So if the Dominator wants to become this maid, she has to be under Rita's jurisdiction. And if she's under Rita's jurisdiction, she has to call Alisa the Deputy Head Maid.

There's no way to avoid Rita; it's true that the Herrscher of Domination genuinely believes Rita is probably the most beloved wife of their Lord God.

The Herrscher of Domination may simply be too lazy to deal with others, but that doesn't mean they are incapable of distinguishing between important and trivial matters. If it's something insignificant, others can still command the Herrscher of Domination.

The only Herrscher of Domination she's ever directly confronted is Gray Serpent, and the only one she's ever bullied is Alisa. Even when she's unhappy with others, she's always polite to them.

Therefore, unable to avoid the issue of addressing Alisa, and unable to directly confront the Unfading Blade who has Rita's protection, the Herrscher of Domination temporarily abandoned the idea of becoming a maid—or rather, changed her approach.

Anyway, Alisa is now considered Herrscher of Domination, so making her the deputy head maid is practically the same as having them involved, isn't it?
