Thanks for the Plague Gem, Old Iron Otto!

But now that things have come to this point, he has finally understood.

Otto was indeed the culprit behind Singapor's Honkai.

But even without his arrangement, Honkai would definitely find a time to accelerate and create the Fourth Honkai Outbreak.

Is the Fifth Honkai Outbreak about a month in total?

Moreover, judging from the selection of the Herrscher, my old friend became Herrscher as soon as he recovered.

So, who will be the next Herrscher?

Is it that damn Sue? Or is Kevin, the pioneer whose whereabouts are still unknown?

Damn it, if all the future Herrscher transform into such powerful base forms, then my plan...

—Wouldn't it be even harder to succeed?!

Chapter 222. Thank you Otto, for the Plague Gem!

At this point, Otto knew that blaming anyone wouldn't change the situation.

However, the thought of things getting to this point still made Otto furious.

Although things haven't reached the point of no return yet, Otto really feels that he can no longer pretend to be optimistic, considering that the Honkai would actually take such drastic action.

Admittedly, Otto had made arrangements in some Schicksal bases outside of Schicksal Headquarters.

Li Sushang, who was released by him in advance, was placed in this base by Otto because he judged that "his old friend has been visiting a lot lately" to avoid the two of them meeting too early.

But now, Otto must admit that he is temporarily in a passive position.

If he goes back now, Fu Hua might have her murderous intent amplified by the Herrscher Persona and is preparing to cause him trouble.

Moreover, Otto hadn't forgotten one thing.

That damn Su is Fu Hua's comrade-in-arms.

While it's not exactly a good thing that a comrade was seduced by Herrscher Persona, Otto couldn't help but think of Su's crazy behavior when he arrived last time in Thousand Worlds Annihilation Ichigen...

I have a feeling that the probability of the two pioneers teaming up to take him down is ridiculously high.

Having come this far, Otto felt that he probably wouldn't be able to break the deadlock unless he did something a little more exciting.

The Plague Gem is a must-give, but if Otto were to take a moment to consider the role of the World Serpent's executives, he would realize that giving away gems is an extremely difficult task.

There are many reasons why World Serpent has gone from a powerful, clandestine organization to its current miserable state.

But no matter how many objective factors there are, the one who directly resorted to underhanded tactics was ultimately Otto had been constantly attacking the World Serpent.

It's an open secret who owns the Plague Gem now. Any World Serpent executive with even a shred of common sense would not easily believe that Otto, who had driven the World Serpent to the brink of despair, would give them something so precious.

The thought of this made Otto feel a phantom headache.

Ah, time.

I remember just two weeks ago, I was still thinking, 'Kiana's affection for Lin Yu should be high enough,' and preparing to move on to the next step of my plan.

But only half a month has passed!

Lin Yu has strengthened himself so much, and his old friend has even regained his past power.

It's one thing for an old friend to regain her past powers, but the Honkai even took such a gamble by turning her into Herrscher.

Honkai's gamble was bad enough, but then my old friend had such a big problem with me, and Honkai still won the bet.

Even though Otto has just received a video from Amber and seen Lin Yu scolding Su Otto for regretting giving Su access, Otto now truly feels like he's surrounded by enemies.

To be honest, Otto paid a heavy price in order to keep the previously extremely manic Sue in check.

In the past, Otto thought that as long as he could get his hands on the Thousand Worlds Annihilation, these costs were not too great.

In the past two weeks, Otto planned many schemes to kill Sue and did come up with some suitable methods.

But before we could even start preparing to implement any solutions, the situation has already become so dire.

Lin Yu... Sigh, this young man knows I'm a bad guy, but he still trusts me.

It's just a pity that, even if you have a brain, you haven't been trained in political maneuvering in front of someone like Su.

You and Theresa can't beat that man.

I really don't have much time left, especially with World Serpent...

Let's take a gamble.

At this moment, after making his decision, Otto opened the light screen in front of him and spoke to his confidant inside.

"Let Su Shang come to see me."

"I understand, Lord Otto."

A few minutes after issuing the command, Otto saw Li Sushang wearing the [Jade Knight. Moon Mark] God-Slaying Armor.

However, when Li Sushang looked at Otto in front of her, she immediately showed a concerned expression.

"Rosharian, are you alright?"

Why did I feel that the moment I saw you, there was a... tired look between your brows?

"Haha, it's just a small matter."

Realizing he had lost his composure, Otto chuckled twice and then spoke to Li Sushang.

"Let's not talk about me for now, Su Shang, how are you feeling right now?"

How are you feeling?

"How are you feeling...?"

Hearing Otto's question, Li Sushang said helplessly.

"Just tell me that more than 500 years have passed, how do you think I can still feel anything?"

"Although I feel that people's lives now, apart from having some more convenient tools, are not much different from the past, I would say I'm already satisfied..."

"Ha, there's no point in lying to myself. My mind is still in turmoil."

That's true, after all, five hundred years have passed.

Even a carefree girl like Su Shang couldn't possibly adapt to this completely different environment in just a few days.

"But you asked me to come here, it can't just be because you want to care about my life, right?"

Looking at Otto in front of her, Li Sushang spoke directly.

"I owe you a favor. If you want my help, just ask."

"Heh, then I'll thank you in advance, Lady Su Shang Chang."

At this moment, Otto picked up the Plague Gem stored in the Soul Steel Box and spoke to Li Sushang.

"This Herrscher core is something that can influence the world structure."

"Now, in my opinion, this core should not remain with me, but should be handed over to someone who can make a difference."

"So, I hope you, Su Shang, can help me deliver this and a letter to a certain place. With your abilities, it should be a piece of cake for you to accomplish this."

"Ha?"

After watching Otto put the Plague Gem back into the small box and hand the box to her, Li Sushang showed a strange expression.

"Although I can sense that this gem does indeed have a powerful fluctuation of true energy, I slept for five hundred years, and the first job I had after waking up was to become a bodyguard?"

Listening to Li Sushang's complaints, Otto spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Su Shang, believe me, this operation may seem simple, but it is absolutely capable of changing the world order."

"I'm in some trouble right now, and you're the only person I can rely on."

Li Sushang was stunned by Otto's words that struck her heart.

Wow, I used to think the Rosharian was some big shot, but now he gives me the feeling of being down on his luck.

Well, he's already put it this way, so helping him out shouldn't be a big problem.

"Sure, sure, then I'll wait for you to tell me the address."

After watching Li Sushang walk away with the box, Otto's smile gradually disappeared.

During this period, the Ghost's investigation into the World Serpent Base ruins was not entirely without progress.

However, in Otto's view, the information that Ghost had gathered was ultimately too little.

Even if some of the World Serpent industries weren't completely eradicated, Otto didn't bother with them anymore.

You must have a backup plan when you do things, otherwise you will be more likely to be driven to a dead end by your enemies when something goes wrong.

Now, Otto is incredibly grateful that he didn't destroy the foundation laid by the World Serpent.

His current plan is very simple.

The World Serpent wanted the Herrscher Core of this era, so Otto gave it to them to prove his sincerity.

Whether World Serpent believed him or not, Otto wasn't sure, but he didn't really care.

If the World Serpent become stronger, and Otto is 'missing' on the surface, then if the World Serpent trust Otto and Otto cooperates with them, Otto could actually turn the current stalemate around.

If the World Serpent doesn't intend to trust Otto and thinks it's a trap, then given World Serpent current urgency, it's impossible for it to remain completely inactive even after acquiring the gem.

The current situation is unfavorable to Otto, so Otto should just break the current situation directly.

As for what will happen next...

— LOL, the situation is already so bad, people are at rock bottom, no matter what, it's going to be an upward trend, what is he afraid of?

Otto sent Li Sushang to deliver the gems simply because he felt that the Honkai God were definitely targeting him.

He had a thought, Fu Hua immediately used her magic to break his neck.

As he approached the Plague Gem, Fu Hua was immediately enhanced by the Honkai and smashed the warehouse he was in with a single punch.

Given the current situation, if Otto personally delivers the gem, Fu Hua might inexplicably appear in that place, waiting for Otto, drawn by the Honkai God.

As for whether Li Sushang will be targeted, the probability is always relatively low.

Now, I've done everything I could. I hope the World Serpent won't be ungrateful.

Moreover, I still have some questions to ask them.

What I need in my plan is a 'fully awakened Herrscher of the Void ', 'the Thousand Worlds Annihilation', and that beacon.

Let's put Kiana's awakening aside for now. The Thousand Worlds Annihilation is not in my hands, but it's within my sights.

However, while we have some clues about this beacon, we don't have enough information yet.

The World Serpent a strong foundation. If we can reach a cooperation agreement this time, I might be able to get some things I want from them.

Approximately several hours later, at the World Serpent Headquarters.

Inside the World Serpent's headquarters, Gray Serpent reflected on the recent events and felt increasingly uneasy.

It is a cyborg, and cyborgs should not feel tired.

But looking at the current state of World Serpent, Gray Serpent didn't know why, but he felt that he was really exhausted.

The Jackal has already tried its best.

After she further modified the twins, they even gained new abilities.

With their current abilities, they are already a formidable fighting force.

Meanwhile, Wendy is still trying to maintain an optimistic attitude, while Gray Serpent has given up on turning her into Herrscher Transformation.

We'll just throw Wendy into the Abyssal Eye, and whether the plan succeeds or not is up to fate.

As for the modification of the Staff of the Underworld, Gray Serpent can only say that Jackal really did his best.

Modifying this thing involves various technical issues. Jackal has been frantically researching and working on it, and he has become so thin that he is unrecognizable.

Although Jackal told Gray Serpent that she had some plans, Gray Serpent really felt that the probability of failure was still very high.
