Is it her?! No... it's her!!

"I see."

After conveying Otto's orders, Amber immediately left the room.

Otto trusted his secretary Amber completely, but since Otto said he wanted to talk alone, Amber naturally had no right to overhear their conversation.

A few minutes later, Amber looked at the aggressive Fu Hua and bowed slightly to Fu Hua as usual.

"Lord Fu Hua, Lord Otto has been waiting for you for a long time."

"... I see."

After saying this, Fu Hua, whose tone was clearly off, entered the room and closed the door behind her.

Seeing Fu Hua's unusual mood, Amber felt that Fu Hua was clearly different from usual today.

Fu Hua, who hails from the Shenzhou, has always been a person who values etiquette.

But today, after Amber greeted her, Fu Hua only gave Amber a cold look and didn't return the greeting.

It's worth noting that Amber, as one of Otto's closest confidantes, had actually met Fu Hua many times.

It's true that Fu Hua and Otto rarely had a happy time together in the past, but even when she was in a bad mood, Fu Hua would rarely treat this 'unrelated person' with such an attitude.

Something's not right, Lady Fu Hua, what's wrong with you today?

Could it be that Lord Otto did something excessive to her?

That doesn't make sense either. Lady Fu Hua isn't someone who vents her emotions indiscriminately. Today, she...

Never mind, I'll stop thinking about it.

Lord Otto will handle this matter well; there's no point in me making wild guesses.

In the time that followed, Amber, who was waiting outside the door for Otto's summons, suddenly heard a loud noise.

It's worth noting that Otto's office should have excellent soundproofing, so if Amber could still hear this kind of noise under these circumstances, then...

"Lord Otto!"

Worried about Otto, Amber hurriedly opened the door to the room and saw Otto and Fu Hua.

Unlike usual, Otto, who normally maintained a composed and confident demeanor towards everyone, was now...

Like a dead dog, after being punched on the head by Fu Hua shoved his head into the floor.

"What? It's Amber."

At that moment, Amber saw Fu Hua before her and revealed an expression she had never shown before.

After beating up Archbishop Otto of Schicksal, Fu Hua showed no panic or unease; instead, she revealed an incredibly cheerful smile.

"Go and tell everyone that I have killed Otto."

"Starting today..."

"—This Schicksal is up to me!"

Amber is not worried about Otto's current condition.

In any case, after the bishop developed the Soul Steel Body technology, he became 'immortal' in a sense.

Fu Hua may have killed Otto with a single punch, but for Otto, his only losses were a Soul Steel body and a portion of his memories.

However, when Amber looked at Fu Hua, who was smiling, Amber saw a hint of 'madness' in Fu Hua's eyes.

Moreover, something's not right, something's very wrong.

I know that Lady Fu Hua is a master, but—why are my energy sensors, as a cyborg, telling me that the person in front of me possesses Herrscher- level Honkai Energy?

Could it be that Lady Fu Hua...

—Have you become Herrscher already?

Chapter 217. It's her?! No... it's her!!

A few minutes ago, in Otto's office.

In Otto's office, Otto saw Fu Hua's face contorted with rage and knew that he had clearly guessed the worst possible answer.

During the Second Honkai Eruption battle, Fu Hua lost many of her memories and her immense power.

This is precisely why Otto was able to more easily manipulate this nominal partner.

However, before the Second Honkai Eruption outbreak, Fu Hua and Cecilia were actually quite good friends.

Previously, Otto didn't know whether Fu Hua had forgotten her memories of Cecilia.

But now, as soon as Fu Hua found out that Otto was using Cecilia's DNA to create clones, he came knocking on her door the very next day.

From this perspective, she clearly hasn't completely forgotten this past friendship.

It's troublesome, very troublesome.

"Otto".

Looking at Otto, who was smiling but not speaking, Fu Hua said coldly to Otto.

"What kind of crazy idea are you coming up with now?"

"Hey, old friend, you're really going all out today."

At this moment, Otto looked at Fu Hua in front of him and said helplessly.

"While I, Otto, am certainly not a good person, and I am indeed scheming, is there anything wrong with scheming against my enemies?"

"That's natural."

Faced with Otto's words, which were clearly an attempt to exonerate himself, Fu Hua nodded quite naturally.

"What you said is indeed correct."

Hmm, that's strange. My old friend is clearly very angry, but why is she acting so agreeable now?

However, although Otto had already sensed that something was wrong, he still maintained his current expression.

The current Fu Hua is clearly different from the easily fooled, honest person she used to be.

It's not that Fu Hua's intelligence has improved dramatically, it's mainly...

—The Crimson Heron Immortal, who has now been 'resurrected', is clearly more irritable.

Otto felt that if he showed even the slightest weakness, his opponent might flip the table and start a fight with him.

Without any reliable evidence, Otto sensed from the emotional fluctuations emanating from Fu Hua that she was definitely here with murderous intent.

"You see, you also think there's nothing wrong with what I did, so—our alliance should still be maintained, right?"

At this moment, Otto was frantically thinking about what to say next, while smiling at Fu Hua.

"I know you have regained your former power. If you feel that I took advantage of you in your vulnerable state and owe you a contract, and now you want more in return—that is certainly no problem."

"Is the goal to secure more benefits and a higher international standing for Shenzhou?"

"Or do you want Lin Yu to leave the front lines and spend the rest of his life in a faraway place?"

"Or if you have other requests, or anything you want, just let me know."

"We're friends, and there's no need for things to get so tense between friends. I think these things can be discussed, right?"

Fu Hua's first reaction to Otto's words was, of course, to be stunned.

After all, she came to the room with visible anger and murderous intent, and Otto, who was inside the room, not only did not show any dissatisfaction, but also chose to back down.

Frankly, in Fu Hua's opinion, Otto today is a bit 'not so Otto '.

But soon, Fu Hua felt an extremely radical idea suddenly appear in her mind, an idea that she somewhat agreed with.

His concession is unusual, unusual means he has something to hide, and having something to hide means he's planning to cause trouble.

In other words, Otto is already planning something big, which is why he hopes to use these easily disposable benefits to keep me in check.

That scoundrel is utterly vicious!

However, although she accepted these ideas in her heart, Fu Hua's final rationality still restrained her bloodlust.

No, wait.

Although Otto has committed serious crimes, I should still find out what he is planning to do now.

Shenzhou's international standing is actually quite high. After all, for a secular country like Shenzhou, which can easily handle small to medium-sized Honkai on its own, its status is already quite high.

Even if I were to propose raising Shenzhou's international standing now, there would be limits to how much that could be achieved.

And Lin Yu...

My good disciple was chosen by Otto as a sacrifice to the Herrscher of the Void long ago, and now he has actually chosen to let go on his own?

"Are you willing to agree to let Lin Yu stay away from the front lines?"

Hearing Fu Hua's words, Otto breathed a sigh of relief.

If no action has been taken, then there's room for negotiation; if there's room for negotiation, then there's not a major problem.

Haha, although my old friend's attitude has changed a lot, he still softened in the end.

Since you're already in this state, well—you can't blame me.

"Is this some kind of big problem?"

Seeing Fu Hua's Fu Hua expression, Otto smiled, stood up from his seat, walked to her side, and whispered something to her.

"You can see that I actually think highly of Lin Yu."

"He has outstanding personal abilities and a good IQ. He is not pedantic and is very suitable to be Theresa's right-hand man."

"If he dies, it will be a great loss for Theresa. To be honest, from the moment I handed the Blank Key to you, I was reluctant to gamble with his life."

"As for the selection, Siegfried and K423 have a strong bond, and he also has a blood feud with Sirin. As a pawn to trigger K423's awakening, he is actually quite suitable."

Looking at the silent Fu Hua, Otto continued confidently.

"Of course, if you have a psychological aversion to such things and feel the need to help Cecilia's lover, then watching from the sidelines is fine too."

"At that time, I will have Bianca give you the Black Abyss White Flower. With your current strength, defeating Sirin and using the Black Abyss White Flower to heal Siegfried's injuries should not be difficult."

To be honest, Otto's words are theoretically sound.

As a young talent who has become a citizen of the Apocalypse clan, Lin Yu can indeed become a good helper for Theresa in the future.

As for Siegfried — Otto had been tormenting this unfortunate middle-aged man all along, it's actually quite normal that he would shift his focus back to Siegfried in order to win over Fu Hua.

However, Fu Hua felt that something was wrong.

If it were the old Fu Hua, she might have suppressed this feeling that something was wrong and tried to reason with Otto's words.

But now, once she thought about Lin Yu's child, the Cecilia clone Otto mentioned, the K-series clones, and all the problems Otto had created, Fu Hua suddenly felt...

—Don't believe him!

I trusted him in the past, which is why I was severely damaged in the Second Honkai Eruption.

Now, fourteen years have passed since that incident, and in those fourteen years, Otto has not only not restrained himself, but has instead intensified his evil deeds.

The fact that he has been able to wreak havoc to this extent is ultimately largely due to my indulgence of him.

If I had killed him with one punch back then, things wouldn't be this bad now.

Kill Otto...

Kill Otto.

Kill Otto!

Once the desires in her heart continue to swell, even if Fu Hua realizes that her state of mind is not right, she will no longer be able to think of suppressing these desires.

At this moment, Otto, who thought everything was fine, immediately switched the Void Archive to the most destructive Mimicry: Judgment of Shamash mode the instant he sensed a strong killing intent.

Otto is undoubtedly the strongest T0.5 member among the existing warriors.

While his Divine Key [Void Archive] wasn't as powerful in combat as other combat-focused Divine Key, after he compensated for his lack of combat strength with his Soul Steel Body, ordinary Herrscher could no longer do anything to Otto.

But now, Otto is not facing an 'ordinary Herrscher,' but a 'Crimson Heron Immortal' whose killing intent is surging and who is in close contact with him.
