In other words, although her appearance and hair color had changed, Bianca was undoubtedly Siegfried's biological daughter.

Rita, who cared deeply for Bianca, could never wish for Bianca to fight her own father.

However, after Siegfried saw the message, he grabbed Rita's phone and ran off.

And less than thirty seconds after Siegfried left with his hood up, Bianca appeared near Rita and the others.

Seeing Rita, who was not lightly injured, Bianca, who had just arrived at the scene, instantly felt rage in her eyes.

"Lady Durandal..."

"Rita..."

After helping her adjutant up from the ground, Bianca asked in an extremely furious tone.

"Who exactly..."

"Who hurt you like this!"

Chapter 19: Otto, Why Are You Just Watching!

At this moment, Rita looked at Durandal before her. After forcing herself to stand up from the ground, she said helplessly to Durandal.

"Schicksal's traitor, Siegfried Kaslana."

"But in a sense, we have to thank him, after all..."

"If he hadn't intended to hold back, we would have died under his Flame-Chaser's Judgment long ago."

"Hmm? Hold back?"

Hearing the information Rita reported, Durandal, who was already preparing to equip her weapons and pursue, asked with a hint of confusion.

"He really held back during the fight? Why?"

"Who knows."

Shrugging helplessly, Rita endured the pain and smiled at Durandal.

"I only know that he didn't want to kill us."

"Also, I don't recommend you, Lady Durandal, to chase after him and confront him right now."

"Eh? Why?"

Durandal, listening to Rita's advice, asked even more confusedly.

"Didn't Archbishop Otto tell you to stop him?"

"That's true, but... this place isn't suitable for a battle."

Rita, who had walked out of the alley, glanced at her surroundings and then turned back to Durandal with a helpless expression.

"Although this alley is quiet, the bustling commercial street is just a short distance away."

"Mr. Siegfried is very strong, and he also has the most destructive Key of Destruction, Flame-Chaser's Judgment."

"If you were to fight him here with the Key of Creation, Black Abyss White Flower, even if you both controlled your powers, you would easily destroy this street."

"Oh, right."

Only then did Durandal realize, immediately understanding why Rita had stopped her.

Bianca Durandal Cocolia was indeed a Valkyrie under Otto, but before that, she was a Valkyrie who protected humanity.

For her to pursue an enemy on Otto's orders and accidentally cause collateral damage to other innocent unlucky people...

At least Durandal couldn't do that now.

Meanwhile, seeing that Durandal had given up the idea of pursuing the enemy, Rita, though her expression remained unchanged, felt a profound sense of relief deep down.

Worrying about innocent bystanders being caught in their fight was only one of Rita's reasons for persuading Durandal.

Like Durandal, she also did not want to harm innocent people unnecessarily.

However, there was a deeper reason why she didn't want Durandal and Siegfried to fight.

Knowing that they were father and daughter, Rita naturally didn't want Durandal, whom she regarded as a younger sister, to be in conflict with her father, Siegfried.

She didn't know what had happened between them, but the fact that Otto hadn't told Durandal her true identity after she lost her memory was enough to indicate some issues.

Otto didn't want Durandal to know her true identity, and in such a situation, if Rita rashly revealed this secret to Durandal, she would likely be in trouble.

Under these circumstances, Rita could only use other methods to 'protect' Durandal, preventing her from doing things she might regret in the future.

"Sigh, if we can't pursue the enemy, then why did I come here?"

Frustratedly scratching her head, Durandal said with some annoyance.

"Now that we can't do anything, are we just supposed to watch?"

"Yes, for now, that's all we can do."

After all, the order from Lord Otto just now was for us not to approach Chiba Academy.

Actually, at a time like this, we should be taking control of the potential Herrscher candidate.

But Lord Otto...

His current orders felt like telling us to stand by and do nothing until the Third Honkai Outbreak fully erupts.

I can't understand it. Why does he give me the feeling that he's expecting the Third Honkai Outbreak to happen?

Anti-Entropy has been constantly on the move, and while our electronic warfare capabilities can't match theirs, if we can intercept Raiden Mei, we'll at least be in control of the situation.

But now...

Archbishop, are you really planning to let the Herrscher of Thunder awaken completely and disregard the lives of millions in Changkong City?

Meanwhile, Siegfried, who had just taken Rita's phone, immediately contacted Einstein and Tesla.

"Hey, Siegfried, spit it out if you have something to say. We're busy here."

Hearing the frantic sound of Tesla typing away, Siegfried, knowing her short temper, didn't mind her rough tone.

After all, he understood Einstein and Tesla's current predicament.

Their old friend Welt wasn't with Anti-Entropy; he'd gone out to heal his injuries.

As a result, Anti-Entropy ran into trouble right after their old friend left.

Cocolia had framed Raiden Ryoma and was now preparing to trigger the Third Honkai Outbreak.

And as people with a conscience, Einstein and Tesla naturally couldn't let Cocolia act like this.

But the problem was that Cocolia's actions were too swift. After failing to trip her up immediately, the two missed the best opportunity to stop this madwoman.

Now, all they could do was use their existing authority to try and impede Cocolia's actions from other angles.

"I've managed to get my hands on a communication device belonging to a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie. See if you can..."

"Hmph, connect the memory unit to that device."

"Got it."

After connecting Rita's communication device with the memory unit the two doctors had prepared, Siegfried suddenly heard an ominous sound coming from it.

[Beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!!!]

"Quick, throw it away!"

After Tesla's warning, Siegfried immediately hurled the device away.

Then, the communication device exploded into pieces mid-air, detonated by a built-in bomb.

"...What? Their security measures are this good?"

Looking at the fragments on the ground, Siegfried was dumbfounded.

He had been hoping to get some intel, to find out what kind of schemes Otto was planning.

But now, not only did he fail to get any information, he almost got blown up.

While his physique meant that a bomb of this magnitude would at most leave him with superficial wounds, the fact remained that even if it didn't break his defenses, it would still hurt!

Siegfried was a warrior who didn't fear pain, but he wasn't a masochist who enjoyed it.

Under these circumstances, he naturally didn't want to be blown up.

"Don't worry. When we connected to this terminal, we'd already hacked into it and obtained the intel."

From the other end of the communicator, Siegfried heard Einstein's voice.

However...

"But, our troubles have just gotten bigger."

His old friend's voice sounded utterly exhausted, which made Siegfried feel deeply uneasy.

Chapter 20: Siegfried [I Can't Do Anything]

With Anti-Entropy's electronic warfare technology, hacking into a Schicksal data terminal was not difficult at all.

Even though Rita's data terminal had exploded, Einstein had still managed to retrieve the unsent messages in an instant.

And then she was stunned.

Otto was indeed taking action. He had even dispatched two S-rank Valkyries and Schicksal's strongest combat unit, the Blade of the Unbroken.

Furthermore, Otto had instructed his granddaughter, former S-rank Valkyrie Theresa Apocalypse, to keep the battleship Hyperion on standby near Changkong City.

When the time was right, three S-rank Valkyries would descend upon Changkong City with lightning speed, crush Anti-Entropy's forces, and casually take away the Herrscher of Thunder.

But before that, Otto had no intention of doing anything too excessive.

He had sent agents to Chiba Academy, but that was primarily for K423, the resurrected Herrscher of the Void.

As for other matters, Otto had taken some action, but not much.

Overall, Otto seemed to be letting Cocolia act freely...

No, it would be more accurate to say he was expecting Cocolia to succeed in causing a major Honkai outbreak.

To Otto, the lives of hundreds of thousands in the Far East meant nothing.

After Cocolia succeeded, this large-scale Honkai was manufactured by Anti-Entropy.

At that time, Anti-Entropy's already mediocre reputation became even worse because of this incident.

Even Einstein could find no fault with Otto's actions.

He was merely refusing to help those in need; Cocolia herself had pinned the blame for manufacturing the Honkai on Anti-Entropy.

And Otto, well...

His refusal to help was actually a very polite gesture.

Normally, when Otto wasn't polite, he would kick people while they were down.

As a veteran of Anti-Entropy, Einstein knew very well how Otto usually acted when he wasn't being polite.

When facing Welt Joyce, the first Herrscher of Reason whom he couldn't defeat, Otto directly chose to bombard the city with a Honkai Energy fission bomb, forcing Joyce to burn his life force to protect the citizens.

The citizens didn't die, but Joyce was forced to his death by the situation.

Then, in the Second Honkai Outbreak decades later, the second Herrscher, Welt Yang, was about to defeat the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin.

However, Otto, in pursuit of his own plan, chose to let the Herrscher of the Void live. For this very reason, he directly intervened and punched the nearly victorious Welt Yang, shattering his pseudo-black hole.

The fact that Sirin later killed tens of millions more was a separate matter.

Compared to Otto's actions during these two major events, his current inaction was indeed quite polite.

"Sigh, what a hassle."

At this moment, Siegfried didn't know what Einstein was troubled by, but he clearly understood that the core of this incident was, in the end, Ryoma's daughter.
