As long as Lin Yu becomes the Overseer, everything will turn out fine
That wretched Otto!
That despicable Lin Yu!
That wretched Su!
And that ungrateful Hua!
If you had obediently followed in the Venerable Lord's footsteps, humanity would have been saved long ago!
But now, after the Venerable Lord was betrayed, our Stigmata Plan has been unable to proceed...
Wait, what is this intelligence?
Upon seeing the intelligence sent by the other Gray Serpent, the administrator Gray Serpent was stunned after clicking on the intelligence sent by 'Brother'.
What is that?
Did Hua demolish the Schicksal Headquarters?
Otto disappeared after being beaten by Hua?
Su and Hua seem to be at odds?
Did Hua and Lin Yu get into a fight?
Looking at the video clips sent out by his subordinates who had infiltrated the Schicksal Headquarters at great risk, the administrator, Gray Serpent, felt like he was still half asleep.
Just moments ago, Gray Serpent was cursing these damned enemies.
But less than two minutes have passed, and the subordinates have already sent this baffling information to Gray Serpent.
The people whom Gray Serpent had just cursed were all caught up in this turmoil.
Faced with this situation, the Gray Serpent felt not joy, but only bewilderment.
Happiness came too suddenly.
The enemy's home base is fighting amongst themselves, resulting in Otto's disappearance, Fu Hua's disappearance, Lin Yu's injury, and Su not joining forces with Hua.
For the Gray Serpent, this is, in a sense, the best possible outcome.
And that's not all.
In the next instant, the Gray Serpent received another message.
Just today, a woman from Shenzhou who claimed to be an accomplice of the Rosharian came to one of the World Serpent's properties and left a letter and a box.
Based on what the Gray Serpent saw, what was inside the box was undoubtedly Herrscher Core!
What is that?
Isn't this the Plague Gem?
Dr. Mags was able to obtain the Tranquility Gem purely because Otto had set a trap.
But now, the Plague Gem that was kept in safekeeping has actually appeared in front of me. Am I dreaming?
At that moment, the Gray Serpent suddenly thought of a very absurd idea.
Otto was practically the only person who had access to the gemstone.
Otto has disappeared.
Now, the person who delivered the Plague Gem...
—Could they be Otto Apocalypse's men?
Chapter 223. As long as Lin Yu becomes a bishop, everything will be alright.
After realizing that this situation was theoretically possible but emotionally absurd, Gray Serpent felt he couldn't sit still any longer.
As this scene unfolded before his eyes, another Gray Serpent had already obtained the Plague Gem and immediately brought it to the World Serpent's headquarters.
"1904, thank you for your hard work."
After seeing Gray Serpent 1904 hand him the Soul Steel Storage Box, the administrator Gray Serpent opened the box in disbelief and said with great excitement.
"This, this is the real deal!"
"Yes, it's genuine, which is why I'm so confused."
Seeing the administrator Gray Serpent's current outburst, Gray Serpent 1904 said with great confusion.
"The only people who can access this thing are basically Otto and Otto close associates."
"Yes, it's normal not to understand—but the reason is no longer important."
After carefully putting the small box away, the administrator Gray Serpent, said with great relaxation.
"Even if this box contains a locator that we can't get out, and it allows Otto to find the coordinates of our headquarters, I'll accept it."
"Ha, I don't think you need to be so pessimistic."
Looking at his 'brother', Gray Serpent 1904 handed the letter in his hand to the administrator, Gray Serpent.
"This letter may tell us why they did this."
"I have other things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."
"Ah, thank you for your hard work, 1904. I will transmit the contents of the letter to the Gray Serpent Network."
After watching Gray Serpent 1904 leave before his eyes, the administrator Gray Serpent opened the letter and looked at the words written on the letter paper.
This thing is less of a letter and more of a small note.
The above message was brief, but it essentially said, "I have shown my sincerity and hope that Mr. Gray Serpent of the World Serpent can meet with me and discuss cooperation."
Although the letter was not signed, the administrator Gray Serpent, judged that it was most likely Otto who did it.
Although he couldn't understand why the Lord of Schicksal, who had been oppressing the World Serpent, would suddenly do such a thing, the important thing now was not why Otto did this, but that he had actually delivered the Plague Gem to the Gray Serpent.
The Gray Serpent had been troubled by Wendy's inability to become Herrscher.
After all, Wendy, the Desire Gem Herrscher, is still in an unstable state, and the power of an unstable gem is limited. Even if such a gem and its carrier are thrown into the Quantum Sea, it may not be able to bring back the Venerable Lord.
But now, with the Plague Gem, many things are not so troublesome.
Administrator Gray Serpent certainly wouldn't just send Wendy back to Schicksal like that; it's just that in his view, Wendy's importance has greatly diminished now.
He still didn't know the coordinates of Haiyuan City, but now that was all that was needed; everything else was pretty much settled.
Under special circumstances, the two twins can temporarily unleash the power of a superior Fusion Warrior.
Even a crippled Siegfried might not be able to kill such a child in a short time.
If World Serpent is lucky enough that Siegfried is the only person guarding the vicinity of Haiyuan City, then after the two twins entangle Siegfried, World Serpent will only have the Titans to face as its enemies.
Of course, apart from the fact that the Plague Gem inexplicably ended up in the hands of the Gray Serpent today, World Serpent has been having a lot of bad luck lately.
Although the administrator, Gray Serpent, was not a pessimist, it was impossible for him to remain optimistic after two or three months of bad luck.
Thinking about an even worse scenario, even if the Anti-Entropy Leader is there, then the final enemy we will face is an additional half-crippled Herrscher.
In this situation, by using Emperor-class Honkai Beast to self-destruct and force him back, we will also have the opportunity to throw the Plague Gem and Wendy into the Abyssal Eye.
As long as a gem and a physical body with Herrscher Core enter the Abyssal Eye, the Venerable Lord will surely seize the opportunity.
However, this is still not safe enough.
Otto Apocalypse... Cooperating with this man is undoubtedly a dangerous thing.
But now, he has actually given away the Plague Gem on his own initiative, which means that things have reached a point where even he feels something is wrong.
Moreover, everyone on Anti-Entropy's side is Otto's enemy.
If you put yourself in his shoes, Otto would certainly not hesitate to kill the Anti-Entropy executives who see him as an enemy, given the chance.
Although this scoundrel has put our World Serpent in a very difficult position, there is still a basis for cooperation between us.
Just to be on the safe side, I'll have one of my 'brothers' go to meet with him on my behalf.
In that case, even if Otto really went to great lengths to capture the 'Gray Serpent,' the brothers present could instantly complete their self-destruction program and burn their own cyber brains.
Otto, I'll do as you wish and have a talk with you.
Hopefully, this time you'll see reality and cooperate with us willingly.
If your breed really chooses to cause trouble at such a crucial moment, then...
—Once the Venerable Lord returns, I will do everything in my power to persuade Venerable Lord to prioritize eliminating you, this troublemaker.
Meanwhile, in the Schicksal Headquarters Council Chamber
Inside the council chamber of the Schicksal Headquarters, Theresa still felt that the scene before her was too strange.
In the years since Theresa's failed defection, she has rarely come to the Schicksal Headquarters.
Theresa herself hadn't been to this council chamber for a long time, nor had she sat in her rightful seat.
Of course, that's not the issue that made her feel something was amiss today!
This morning, she suddenly became uneasy and worried that something had happened at the Far East Branch, so she asked everyone who was still on vacation at the beach to come back to the Far East Branch to check on the situation.
As it turned out, she had just met Lin Yu's Daughter and was greeted with "Hello, Grandma Theresa." Completely unsure whether to be angry or happy, she received an urgent notification from Amber.
What's going on with Grandpa suddenly disappearing?
And if he just disappeared, why would they suddenly want me to be the archbishop?
She even prepared a video in advance and asked Amber to send me the video of her admonition.
He was clearly prepared and knew I wasn't capable of doing these things, yet he still put me in this position.
And it wasn't just Grandpa, Lin Yu was too!
At this moment, if it weren't for the need to preserve her dignity as the acting archbishop, Theresa would have at least glared back at her relative.
After Theresa arrived at the Schicksal Headquarters, Lin Yu decisively stated that Theresa was the patriarch of the Apocalypse clan and that the position of Archbishop of Schicksal must be held by Theresa.
Under these circumstances, Theresa was forced to sit in the archbishop's seat in a daze and reluctantly convene this meeting.
Ugh, why are everyone looking at me like that?
Honestly, you guys never acted this strangely in meetings in front of Grandpa.
And most importantly...
—Now, as the archbishop, what should I say?
Theresa, whose mind was blank at this moment, finally couldn't help but look at Lin Yu standing behind her.
"Lin Yu, please give everyone a briefing on the situation."
"Understood."
Upon hearing Theresa's command, Lin Yu calmly took a step forward and glanced at everyone present with indifferent eyes.
In his view, Theresa's approach was quite appropriate.
Knowing she's not good at speaking, if she shifts the blame to her subordinates, then if the subordinates say something wrong, it's their problem; if they say something right, it's because Theresa is good at judging people.
If Lin Yu didn't know Theresa's character and intelligence, he would have thought that this was the kind of action a competent leader would take.
Among the group of people that Lin Yu was scanning with his gaze, there were some Lin Yu had met once before.
At the banquet where Lin Yu and Anna met about two months ago, Lin Yu had seen some members of the Schicksal present.
After Lin Yu's gaze swept over the group of people, they naturally responded with their eyes.
As for someone recklessly interrupting Lin Yu's speech—that's obviously impossible.
Among the high-ranking members of Schicksal who manage to attend the secret meetings at Schicksal Headquarters, who would be foolish enough to be used as a pawn?
Those present had not forgotten who these people in front of them were.
Although Theresa, who now sits in the Archbishop's seat, has retired, as a user of the Divine Key, she was a great hero who almost killed Sirin during the Second Honkai Eruption War.
Lin Yu, who was standing next to Theresa, was the knight who prevented two large-scale Honkai and ended the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chiyou.
As for the girls behind Lin Yu...
Yuno, A-rank Valkyrie, is the Fourth Herrscher of this era, the Herrscher of Death.
