Although the two unfortunate twin sisters have now been freed from Welt and Sue's control, Lilia's body is showing signs of weakness because Lilia absorbed some of Rosalia power to strengthen herself.

Of course, compared to losing one's life, having only developed a 'periodic hypersomnia' is already considered extremely lucky.

Upon arrival at the appointed time, Welt activated the Quantum Teleportation System and arrived at the location designated by Schicksal.

The moment Welt arrived at the location, he frowned slightly.

It wasn't that Welt suddenly had a problem with Theresa; it was just that the atmosphere at the scene was really a bit off.

"Alliance Leader Welt, you've arrived."

Seeing Welt arrive with the three children they had agreed to meet, Theresa said to Lin Yi beside her.

"Xiao Yi, take these... aunties to find Aunt Bronya."

"Ah, Auntie???"

The naturally lively Rosalia felt that it was too strange to hear Theresa address her in this way.

"I'm only a teenager! Why would people call me 'auntie'?!"

"Ah, you must be Aunt Rosalia, right? My name is Lin Yi."

Lin Yi hopped and skipped over to Rosalia, giving her a slight smile at Rosalia, who was slightly taller than her.

"I'm only a few months old, and Aunt Rosalia is already old enough to be my elder."

"Oh, is that so?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Rosalia whispered to Lilia beside her.

"Lilia, something feels off to me."

"You idiot Rosalia, what they said is absolutely right, we should accept the facts."

"Yes, I have to accept it—I'm an elder now!"

Seeing Rosalia immediately smile happily, Seele and Lilia exchanged a glance and then gave each other a helpless smile.

"Also, you're Aunt Lilia, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"So you must be Aunt Seele?"

Looking at the naturally reserved Seele, Lin Yi leaned closer to Seele's face and nodded slightly.

"Just as Aunt Bronya described, Aunt Seele is indeed very beautiful."

"Alright, although I really want to continue chatting with the aunties, this is, after all, the place where Grandma Theresa and Grandpa Welt are discussing serious matters. Let's leave here first."

"Um."

"Oh!"

"Knew."

After watching a baby who was only a few months old lead three teenage girls away, Welt couldn't help but sigh.

As expected of Mr. Lin Yu's daughter, she has shown this level of intelligence since she was a young child.

If I didn't know she was only a few months old, I would have thought she was the oldest of the four.

"Alliance Leader Welt, before we exchange intelligence today, I would like to ask you something."

Theresa, seated in her seat, asked her ally with an unusually serious tone.

"Besides Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent, what do you think...?"

"—Who else possesses the Quantum Teleportation System?"

"This problem..."

Hearing Theresa's serious tone, Welt guessed that something had happened to Schicksal and did not delve any further into the topic.

While he was indeed Theresa's savior, now that something has happened, judging from Theresa's tone, anyone who can use the Quantum Teleportation System is somewhat suspicious.

If he continued to discuss this topic, from Welt's perspective as a third person, it would be pure intelligence gathering.

Rather than doing something that would only increase suspicion, Welt's choice was naturally to find the real culprit.

"Besides Anti-Entropy and World Serpent, I have granted access to the Quantum Teleportation System to Mr. Lin Yu, Mr. Su, and Mei."

"Besides that... excuse my bluntness, only one person could possibly have access to the Quantum Teleportation System."

Seeing Welt's hesitant attitude, Theresa immediately revealed her answer.

"Are you suggesting that Grandpa also has this kind of system?"

"At least after cooperating with the World Serpent, the possibility of Bishop Otto obtaining this system shouldn't be too low."

Listening to Welt's analysis, Theresa felt incredibly overwhelmed.

Last night, Ghost A-rank Valkyrie and intelligence chief of Schicksal, was suddenly attacked by someone.

If Lin Yi hadn't used the weakened Herrscher Authority she inherited from Kiana to teleport the Ghost to another location in time, the severely injured Ghost would have definitely died.

However, even though Lin Yi rescued the ghost in time, the ghost still suffered very serious burns.

This kind of burn is beyond the treatment even with the medical equipment of Schicksal. At this point, Theresa can only ask Durandal, who has the Divine Key, to see if she can bring the ghost back from the brink of death.

After receiving treatment from Durandal using the Black Abyss White Flower, Ghost's injuries were completely healed.

However, after treating the ghost, Durandal, with a gloomy expression, revealed some information to Theresa.

Now, listening to Welt's analysis, Theresa feels...

—The information Bianca provided should be reliable.

After healing the wounds on the ghost, Durandal stated directly that the injuries were clearly burns.

Moreover, based on the information she had reviewed, this damage could only have been caused by the Flame-Chaser's Judgment.

However, Durandal also pointed out something else.

If Kevin had attacked with the Flame-Chaser's Judgment, Lin Yi would have had absolutely no chance to save the ghost.

Having heard the intelligence from her subordinates and allies, Theresa analyzed it for three seconds before giving up.

If your brain isn't quick enough, let someone with a quick brain handle these troublesome matters.

With this in mind, Theresa revealed all the information she had gathered to Welt.

"Hmm, I see. Then I think I have the answer."

After listening to Theresa's description, Welt immediately came to the answer and said to Theresa with a complicated expression.

"I already know who the murderer is, Bishop Theresa. Do you really want to know the result?"

"Who is it!"

After hearing Welt so directly state that he had received the answer, Theresa angrily confronted Welt.

"Ghost is my man, and this is my territory!"

"Who on earth dares to beat me up on my turf?!"

"Well, the answer is simple. Miss Ghost was injured by a weapon that is suspected to Flame-Chaser's Judgment. So we just need to eliminate people who might use the Flame-Chaser's Judgment one by one."

"First, let's rule out Kevin Kaslana, the Venerable Lord of the World Serpent."

"Ah, about that, I never doubted him."

Theresa, who had seen Kevin's combat footage, said with lingering fear.

"If he saw a ghost and wanted to kill it, the ghost wouldn't even be left with ashes."

"Well, then the second suspect is naturally me."

After using the power of the Herrscher of Reason to create a pair of Flame-Chaser's Judgment, Welt placed them on the table.

"As the Herrscher of Reason, after analyzing the Divine Key, I can also consume Herrscher energy and Honkai Energy to replicate something with almost the same power."

"Of course, the quality of the Divine Key I copied wasn't very good, but regardless of the quality issue, I was indeed able to do it, so I'm also a suspect."

Seeing Welt's candor, Theresa shook her head slightly.

"... Sigh, but after you said that, I knew it definitely wasn't you who did it."

"Oh, why?"

"There are many reasons, but the most fundamental reason is that I trust my intuition."

While it's certainly a good thing to be trusted, Bishop Theresa, you're far too trusting.

What turned you into this? Is it the blood of Kaslana?

Looking at the trust in Theresa's eyes, Welt suddenly felt as if he had been reminded of Siegfried raising the Flame-Chaser's Judgment against Otto fourteen years ago.

Oh, Kaslana.

They were all so brave and full of a sense of justice.

Although they can be reckless at times, it's better to be allied with someone like that than with Otto.

"But if it's neither you nor Kevin, then there's only one answer left."

"Yes, there's only one answer left."

Facing his ally, Welt revealed the answer Theresa had already vaguely guessed.

"Your grandfather, Otto Apocalypse."

"After much thought, I can only conclude that he is the murderer in this attempted murder case."

"In terms of justification, Otto had killed his own people more than once who might have discovered the truth."

"In terms of power, Otto's Divine Key Void Archive can mimic the power of the Divine Key, but this mimicry will cause the power to decline."

"And this indirectly proves that the murderer is Otto. After all, if it were the Flame-Chaser's Judgment himself who fired the shot, the chances of Valkyrie surviving would definitely be low."

"Yes, you're right, you're... all right!"

Theresa was furious when she discovered that her grandfather had not only neglected his duties for the past month, but had also been poisoning her own people.

Damn it, damn it!

Now we have to wait for the ghost to wake up. Her grandfather will kill her immediately, which means he must have obtained some very important information.

Grandpa, that guy, not only does he not care about things at such a crucial time, but why now...?

—How can he still drag the team down without feeling any guilt?!

Meanwhile, in another room

Inside the room, Bronya had already breached Schicksal's firewall, was reviewing information that ordinary Schicksal members were not authorized to see.

The more Bronya looked at this information that should never have been known to others, the more she felt...

—Otto is far more insane than her mother.

The clues Bronya uncovered were enough to make the girl's small hands tremble slightly as she swiped the light screen.

If we could uncover the truth behind all this intelligence...

Forget it, I'd better not dig anymore.

The deeper I delve into these truths, the greater the chance that I will be discovered.

All we need to know right now is that Otto is not a good person and is helping the Honkai, making him an enemy we must defeat.

After closing the light screen in front of her, Bronya, who had just returned to Schicksal today, let out a deep breath.

Sometimes, knowing too much is really not a good thing.

"Um, Aunt Bronya, are you free right now?"

At that moment, Bronya, who had just heard shouts coming from outside the door, opened the door herself.

Then...

"Sister Bronya!" *3

The moment she opened the door, Seele, Rosalia, Lilia simultaneously pounced on Bronya, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, and knocked her to the ground.
