Long Time No See (cont.)

"I can't leave here with peace of mind yet, you should retreat first."

No, if we're going to leave, we'll leave together—that's what Li Sushang originally wanted to say.

However, thinking that staying would only hinder the Rosharian, Li Sushang suppressed this unreasonable thought and immediately stepped aside.

Hey! You Valkyrie over there!

Wendy, who had missed her target, watched as Li Sushang obediently stepped aside and immediately spoke to Li Sushang in great anger.

"That scoundrel bishop is helping the bad guys! Why are you still listening to him!"

"Don't believe him! He's definitely not a good person!"

"Wendy."

Seeing that Wendy hadn't completely lost her rationality after Herrscher Transformation, Otto immediately started to organize his thoughts and prepare to use his great deception skills on Wendy.

However, the moment he opened his mouth, Wendy launched a strike from a distance.

As a terrifying gust of wind flashed by, Otto, who barely dodged the attack, was shocked to see that the Soul Steel on his right cheek had been scraped away by Wendy's attack.

"Shut up! Ever since you tricked me into participating in the Herrscher Transformation experiment, I've always trusted you!"

At this moment, Otto could feel that Wendy's gaze was now filled with hatred.

Alas, it was too late.

The Honkai has eroded her heart, amplifying her malice towards me countless times.

In this situation, even if I were to say something, it would be of no use.

"Well, there's nothing I can do then, Wendy. Since you've already Entering Demonic State, then as the Archbishop of Schicksal..."

"It is also my responsibility to rid you of this scourge of humanity."

Although the Rosharian's words and actions still seemed to be fine, Li Sushang, who had already stepped aside, suddenly saw the Honkai Beast near the Abyssal Eye not far away.

Those Honkai Beast transformed by the Gray Serpent through the injection still retain their individual will.

Even though the Herrscher commands the Honkai Beast appeared here, Wendy still couldn't gain control of this special group of Honkai Beast.

However, Welt's forces deployed in Haiyuan City were not limited to just him and Siegfried.

In fact, after merging the forces of the radical and conservative factions, Anti-Entropy has temporarily abandoned its confrontation with Schicksal around the world and instead focused most of its forces on defending Haiyuan City and clearing out Honkai Beast in other areas.

Watching the monsters fighting fiercely with the iron lumps, Li Sushang suddenly had a thought she shouldn't have had for a moment.

She hasn't gotten used to modern life yet, but this martial artist, who is not mentally old, is not so incapable of making her own judgments.

When she fought the First Herrscher just now, Li Sushang saw those mechs parked inside Haiyuan City.

Now, these monsters are actually fighting with the iron lumps of Anti-Entropy, which clearly shows that the monsters are sent by the enemies of the First Herrscher.

In other words, the Rosharian actually joined forces with the villains who control demonic beasts?

"Miss Li Sushang, please leave with me."

At that moment, another Gray Serpent, who had appeared there at some unknown time, put his hand on Li Sushang's shoulder and spoke to Li Sushang in a cold tone.

"Mr. Otto has his own ideas. We will leave first, and Mr. Otto will follow soon."

"... I see."

Don't think too much.

The Rosharian is the Archbishop of Schicksal, and there must be a reason why he would join forces with these villains.

Moreover, these monsters are controlled by these iron lumps, and the Rosharian might not even know these things.

He's been so good to me, how could I, as his friend, easily doubt him?

With this thought in mind, Li Sushang was finally able to leave the battlefield after being teleported away by the Gray Serpent using the Quantum Teleportation System.

At this moment, Otto felt immense pressure after Li Sushang left the battlefield.

His Soul Steel Body was destroyed, but today, in order to take care of Welt and Siegfried, Otto brought his family heirloom relic... well, the Void Archive.

If the Void Archive were lost here today, Otto felt it would be difficult to get it back in the future.

Although Void Archive is a bastard who wants to seize control of his body every day, Otto has to admit that his plans are temporarily inseparable from this bastard.

This is difficult.

Gray Serpent messed things up. Doesn't this piece of shit have any way to fix it?

Moreover, it's one thing that Siegfried was held up by that little girl, but why aren't Welt and Sue making any moves?

They're not fools; they won't let the opportunity to gang up on me with Wendy slip by.

So now...

"What are you daydreaming about, Otto!"

Seeing that Otto was clearly distracted, Wendy angrily rushed up to Otto and slapped him across the face.

"You scoundrel! Are you looking down on me?!"

Damn it, that little girl!

Otto, who had been directly slapped in the face, was sent flying by Wendy's slap, which was infused with a large amount of Honkai Energy.

But in the next instant, Otto saw a figure appear where he had been standing, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Welt, who had been standing where Otto had been, suddenly appeared and thrust a katana into the air.

Judging from the astonished look on Welt's face, he clearly did not expect that Otto would be so easily knocked away by Wendy.

Although Otto had no idea what Welt was up to... no, that's not right!

Damn it, is this Jizo Mitama?!

Looking at the katana in Welt's hand, Otto suddenly felt that he was truly drenched in sweat this time.

During those five hundred years, Otto would spend his free time browsing through the materials in the Void Archive Library.

He had seen the design drawings for Jizo Mitama.

However, according to the intelligence, there are only blueprints for Jizo Mitama, so the sword is not finished.

... Welt, he is the Herrscher of Reason!

It's not surprising that the Herrscher of Reason could complete this Divine Key with the core!

If Welt in the past only made Otto feel a little troubled, then Welt now Jizo Mitama, has truly given Otto the creeps.

After he switched to the Soul Steel Body, his compatibility with the Jizo Mitama became extremely poor.

If this thing were to cut me...

Otto had no idea what he would become with his Soul Steel Body.

But he would never dare to risk his life for such a test.

Moreover, it wasn't just Welt.

And Sue!

Welt's ability to appear in this place instantly must have been due to Su using the Thousand Worlds Annihilation to teleport him here.

Damn it, damn it!

If these two team up, my future is going to be tough!

Meanwhile, after Welt's attack missed, he really felt that things were not going well.

He didn't make a move after Wendy awakened, clearly because he was trying to create the Jizo Mitama, Divine Key that could counter Otto.

After Otto was distracted, Welt, who had successfully created the Divine Key, had a real chance to defeat Otto with a single blow, with Su's help.

Despite all his calculations, he failed to anticipate that Otto would lose focus at that moment and get slapped away by Wendy.

How could this dog breed be so lucky!

Now that this trump card has been revealed...

"Hmph, Joachim, consider yourself lucky this time, you and Siegfried are just lucky."

At that moment, Otto uttered a harsh remark and was then taken away from the scene by a Gray Serpent.

The scene, which was originally chaotic, suddenly fell silent after Welt pulled out the simulated Jizo Mitama.

Siegfried, who was far away, was enraged by the enhanced Rosalia. He didn't care about anything else and directly used the Flame-Chaser's Judgment to destroy her horns. He then abandoned the gentle and subduing approach and used a more brutal method to beat the unfortunate girl unconscious.

Meanwhile, upon discovering that World Serpent's forces consisted of only a group of Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Sue and Welt immediately focused all their attention on Wendy.

"What do you two mean?!"

Seeing that the two seemed to be surrounding her, Wendy was instantly furious.

"Why aren't you killing Otto and instead watching me—does that mean you're in cahoots with the World Serpent traitors?"

In fact, if Wendy had even a shred of rationality, she wouldn't have said something so illogical.

In the present World Serpent and Anti-Entropy are clearly mortal enemies who have started fighting each other.

Sigh, the fact that Miss Wendy has such thoughts means that she has been completely controlled by the Honkai.

We can't let Miss Wendy cause any trouble.

If she acts recklessly and ends up inexplicably flying to the Abyssal Eye, Kevin will eventually end up here anyway.

In other circumstances, whether it was Sue or Welt, they might have tried to appease Wendy and decided to talk to her and see how things went.

But the situation today is truly urgent, so urgent that the slightest mistake could lead to devastating casualties for all of humanity.

In this situation, even if the two people are gentle, they wouldn't be so gentle as to continue to go easy on each other at this crucial moment.

Moreover, both of them were well aware that the World Serpent did not currently possess the Herrscher Core of this era.

There are only a few Herrscher Core in this era: Reason, Void, Lightning, Death, Wind, and Consciousness are all in the original owner's body.

The only Flame is still in Otto's hands.

How could someone like Otto possibly entrust such a precious Plague Gem to the World Serpent?

So in other words, as long as Wendy is kept under close surveillance, Kevin will definitely not have a chance to leave the area.

"Siegfried, go to the vicinity of the Abyssal Eye and wipe out all those guys."

"This is for Mr. Su and me to handle."

"Okay."

After throwing the unconscious Rosalia next to Lilia, Siegfried, who was seething with anger all day, looked at the Emperor-class Honkai Beast who were bullying the Titans with ill intent.

Hey, this little girl is innocent, I can't bring myself to kill her.

But you damned bastards, you actually dare to attack where Welt and I are—you're asking for it.

"You... you are despicable! I will not surrender!"

At this moment, Wendy looked at the two people in front of her, who had already condensed their Honkai Energy to its limit, and then...

In the real world, Welt looked at Wendy, whose eyes were lifeless, and cautiously asked Sue.

"Mr. Su, is this all right?"

"Okay, everything's fine for now."

Sue, who had used her mental power to create an illusion for Wendy, allowing Wendy to wreak havoc within it, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Miss Wendy has already fallen into an illusion. All we need to do is knock her unconscious, and then find... well, I'll use a special method to wake her up."

It's all over, Kevin. I'm sorry.

Although your subordinates are working very hard, I still won't let you out.

However, just as Siegfried was carrying the Skyfire Greatsword and Welt and Sue were relieved, an unexpected event still occurred.

In the eyes of the three, the World Serpent no longer had any top-tier combat power that could threaten them.

However, the Gray Serpent that appeared on everyone's side at this moment emitted an extremely strange energy fluctuation the instant it appeared.

Despite Staff of the Underworld Jackal Jackal was ultimately not successfully transformed into a burst version of the Underworld Bomb.

However, in the process of improving the Staff of the Underworld, the Jackal came up with a clumsy solution.

Since the Staff of the Underworld cannot be transformed into an instantaneous Underworld Bomb, then—don't change the Staff of the Underworld, which is difficult to change; just change how to use it.
