In the individual training room, Fu Hua, who had originally intended to sit quietly today, suddenly saw a message from Otto.

Hey old friend, I'm sending you a video. Can you take a look? Do you recognize this squinty-eyed guy?

Squinty eyes?

After seeing this title, Fu Hua opened the video and turned the volume down to the lowest setting.

Then, she suddenly saw her long-lost comrade-in-arms Su, who appeared before Otto with the Thousand Worlds Annihilation.

Sue, he actually showed up in front of Otto on his own initiative—what is Otto up to now?

Fu Hua listened to the voice message, she suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Do you think I need to be polite to a traitor to humanity?

Otto said Sue was a traitor to humanity?

Who gave this guy the nerve!

Fu Hua, whose heart was burning with anger, was suddenly stunned after seeing Su's next move.

[Otto Apocalypse, you want to frame me? I'll prove you right with facts.]

Um, is this really Su herself?

[I'm betraying humanity today! Come on, let's have a direct fight with you Schicksal Ones!]

Wait a minute, is this really Su?

Looking at Su, who was driving a dump truck... oh no, looking at Su, who was driving Thousand Worlds Annihilation and wanted to create Otto, Fu Hua felt a sense of unease.

Did Su finally develop mental problems after carrying out the Hengsha Plan for too long?

I feel like he's like this now...

—Is it even more violent than the Chikage of yesteryear?

Chapter 183. Today is a good day.

After watching the video footage sent by Otto, Fu Hua really felt that Su looked really strange right now.

But this is definitely not Su's fault.

Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite normal for Su, who has observed other worlds for 50,000 years, to look like this now.

Otto's words were like adding fuel to the fire, igniting Sue's pent-up resentment all at once.

So in the end—no matter what mistakes were made, the right thing to do was for Otto and the Honkai to each take half and go.

"How are you, old friend? You—"

"Don't talk to me, Otto."

Otto, who was about to ask Fu Hua for her opinion, saw Fu Hua's expression turn frosty and realized that he had really messed up.

On the other side of the light screen, Fu Hua clenched her fists tightly, her heart clearly burning with an incomparably terrifying rage.

This anger couldn't possibly be directed at that man, after all...

Sigh, the way my old friend stared at me was really a little scary.

"Su should have been a gentle and kind old man."

Gentle and refined?

Otto recalled his previous experience and realized that the word had absolutely nothing to do with those squinty-eyed people.

Perhaps at first, the other party's tone was quite polite.

But before Otto even met him, he had already given Lin Yu a sound beating.

Although the other party did not take Lin Yu's life, no matter what—what gentle and kind-hearted person would directly and severely attack a hero who is resistant to physical Honkai?

Going further, the murderous aura that Su exuded at that time was definitely not feigned.

The Su who was enraged at that time had absolutely nothing to do with the gentle and kind old man that Fu Hua described.

To be honest, Otto was genuinely scared when he recalled Su's decision to charge straight at him in the Thousand Worlds Annihilation Journey.

He wasn't afraid of his subordinates dying—after all, he wasn't a boss who truly valued the lives of his men.

What Otto was really afraid of was that when Su drove the Thousand Worlds Annihilation into him, he would casually set off a few more fireworks inside the Thousand Worlds Annihilation.

Don't ask Otto why he thinks that way; anyway, Su had already used Thousand Worlds Annihilation Vehicle as a target for destruction before.

He's really crazy.

Faced with such a terrifying mad dog, how could Otto dare to gamble with his most treasured Thousand Worlds Annihilation?

The more Otto thought about it, the more ridiculous Fu Hua's description of him as gentle and refined seemed.

Sigh, considering my old friend's trusting nature, I guess she's been kept in the dark by others all along.

"Such a kind old man, and now he's turned out like this— Otto, you've really done a good job."

"No, wait, I only said a few harsh words—"

"As the last straw that broke the camel's back, weren't your outrageous words enough?"

Sigh, it was just a few words, how could I have known things would almost escalate to such a terrifying point?

Logically speaking, someone who has lived for 50,000 years should be at least a little more composed, but who knew his temper would explode like this.

"Okay, okay, I admit it, it was indeed my fault."

After admitting his mistake, Otto said helplessly to Fu Hua.

"But old friend, since you and the other party are comrades-in-arms, then—could you help me persuade Mr. Su to stop messing around with the Thousand Worlds Annihilation?"

"This thing is an invaluable treasure, both to me and to the world. For him to continue to squander this precious treasure of the Thousand Worlds Annihilation... I... I... I..."

Otto, who had originally planned to put on a melodramatic show, was rendered speechless upon seeing Fu Hua cut off the communication with a dark expression.

Amber, who was standing next to Otto, glanced at Otto cautiously and then asked Otto softly.

"Lord Otto, shall we contact Lady Fu Hua again?"

"No need."

After Fu Hua cut off the communication, the bitterness and helplessness on Otto's face vanished instantly, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

After all—his expression just now was definitely an act.

Otto certainly cherishes the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, but he wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

Over the past five hundred years, Otto has experienced many things, and through these experiences, even if he loses control of his emotions, he won't do so for long.

Moreover, now, if he calms down and analyzes the situation, Otto realizes that fate is still on his side.

The original Otto had no idea where the Void Key was, so he could only send Lin Yu, who was constantly plagued by bad luck, out to see if he could stumble upon it by sheer luck.

The current Otto — Lin Yu— is not a blind cat, but a lucky cat!

The dead rat is coming!

Admittedly, Otto was a little uncomfortable with the Thousand Worlds Annihilation in the hands of someone who could play with it like fireworks at any time.

However, looking at the overall trend, even if the Thousand Worlds Annihilation is in the hands of a madman, it is still much better than Otto not being able to see the Thousand Worlds Annihilation.

After Otto relinquished some of his interests and authority, he had successfully persuaded Sue to agree to his demands.

The holder of the Void Key remains Su, and even if others enter the Void Key, they will not be able to activate Void Key powers.

However, through Otto's efforts, Sue agreed to bring the Void Key to Schicksal Headquarters so that Schicksal's researchers could analyze this Divine Key.

Moreover, after calming down her emotional fluctuations, Sue spoke some words to Otto in a very calm manner.

"After all, I only have one year left to live. After that, the Thousand Worlds Annihilation will eventually have a new master."

"Then, it's no problem for me to let the members of the Schicksal learn about the Thousand Worlds Annihilation in advance."

To be honest, Otto didn't believe those words.

But Otto didn't care what the other person was thinking.

The Void Key has arrived at Schicksal Headquarters, and that's enough!

You can't laugh, you can't laugh yet!

Hmph, since the Thousand Worlds Annihilation is Divine Key, there must be more information about it in the library of the Void Archive.

Let's continue to play along with this guy for a while longer.

If he can just obediently die, then I don't mind swallowing my anger for a while.

But if a fight breaks out...

Recalling the powerful mental pressure that Su had previously spread, Otto inquired with the pilot of his transport ship and confirmed that the other party's mental pressure was indeed quite strong.

The mere fact that it spread was enough to almost paralyze these Schicksal ones; if he were to get serious...

Hmph, ordinary soldiers might find it difficult to take him down.

Even if I cultivate Bianca's resistance to mental attacks, she still can't maintain her peak combat power in the face of such mental attacks.

If a fight really breaks out... I feel like I'll have to go in myself.

With my Soul Steel Body and the advantage of numbers, defeating this guy is not out of the question.

But ultimately, the biggest problem is that he can threaten me with the Void Key.

As long as the Void Key remains in his possession, I cannot act unless I am certain I can instantly defeat him...

Well, no matter what, things are generally trending upwards.

Let's keep observing, maybe...

A new turning point may appear in the future.

At the same time, within the Thousand Worlds Annihilation

Inside the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, Su looked at the maintenance personnel who appeared before him, his face remaining expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow.

But in the eyes of those maintenance workers, Su's expressionless face turned into, "Oh my god, is the big devil about to kill someone? How scary!"

Su didn't find this situation particularly uncomfortable.

Before preparing to assess Lin Yu, he had already prepared himself for being misunderstood by others.

Now, he has simply gone from being misunderstood by one person to being misunderstood by a group of people.

For Su, this was not something unacceptable at all.

As for why he agreed to Otto's request, brought the Void Key to Schicksal Headquarters, and had maintenance personnel come to maintain the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, the reason is quite simple.

Otto does want the Void Key, that's true, but it would be ridiculous to think that having the Void Key would make Otto obediently submit to others.

Admittedly, Su could use the fact that he could make the Void Key explode at any time to threaten Otto.

Within Otto's threshold, he will indeed back down.

However, once Sue's 'offense' against Otto exceeds Otto's psychological threshold, it's hard to say what Otto might do.

After all, he was a ruthless person who, when cornered and unable to defeat his enemy, would use fission bombs to bomb innocent civilians.

Sue was faking madness, not truly insane, so how dare she push Otto too far?

He and Lin Yu had already discussed Otto beforehand.

The goal is to let Otto know that 'Su is not to be trifled with' while also ensuring that Otto doesn't lose all hope.

Only in this way will Otto be the one being suppressed, rather than the one going crazy and suppressing Sue.

Sigh, having obtained some access from Mr. Otto, I can now use the intelligence I gained from executing Hengsha Plan to lay some groundwork.

Although these backup plans may not be effective in the face of the Finality, they can still save more people in peacetime.

The sacrifices of this era are far too few compared to those of ours.
