My Heart Is Kind, I Can't Bear to Watch Them Suffer.jpg (cont.)

"I felt that way today too."

If one person has this feeling, then the other two people will most likely mistake it for a single person's illusion.

But once they both had this feeling, the unease that clouded their hearts began to grow larger and larger in their minds.

The two of them were of course aware of the commotion Lin Yu had just caused at headquarters.

However, based on the principle of 'great thing, he's finally resting, let him go and mess around with women,' neither of them took the initiative to find Lin Yu and make him prepare for battle.

However, they now have to admit with great regret that Lin Yu's rest period is over.

"I'll go inform Lin Yu and tell him to prepare for battle with everyone first."

After activating the intelligence screen, Theresa was about to contact Lin Yu and the others to ask them to pause.

But at that very moment, a face that was extremely familiar to Theresa, but which she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Hi Theresa, and fellow comrades in Schicksal, it's been a long time."

At this moment, not only on Theresa's intelligence screen, but also on all the display instruments and intelligence screens within Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse's face appeared.

When Theresa saw her grandfather actually 'show up' at this time, Theresa felt no joy at the reunion with her family.

She and Otto weren't without feelings for each other, but as Otto's granddaughter, Theresa knew very well what kind of person her grandfather was.

From the moment Otto left the Schicksal Headquarters until now, his series of actions have been enough to prove that he has completely torn away the last pretense from those in the know.

When Otto appeared at this moment, Theresa could only conclude that her stinky grandpa, who was supposed to be rolling in gold coins, was definitely planning to make a big splash.

"Himeko! If I'm not mistaken, Grandpa must already be—"

"Alright, Theresa, whether you thought of it or not, Grandpa has to tell you something: it's too late to turn off the display system now."

In the video, Otto smiles and talks to himself.

"When you see this video, it means that I have already encountered some things."

"And these things... well, let me just briefly recount some past events."

The other members at the Schicksal Headquarters were still unaware of Otto's true identity.

Apart from Ghost, who was unlucky enough to be silenced after having access to too much intelligence, and Maki, who was tricked by Otto, most of the others were still quietly waiting for Otto to say something.

After all, to those who are unaware of the truth, Otto is not a sinner who condones, assists, or protects the Honkai, but rather the Archbishop of Schicksal who leads them in constant battle.

Although Theresa has been acting as archbishop for some time, is there any value in comparing forty or fifty days with five hundred years?

Now, most of the Schicksal members are wondering if the Archbishop, who has been missing for a long time, has come up with a plan to lead them in a counterattack against the Honkai.

After all, the current situation is much better than it was in the past.

Even if they didn't know that the Herrscher of the Void had been resurrected, in the eyes of the remaining people, the three Herrscher, Raikou, Death, and Restraint, were all on their side, and Restraint had even defeated Kevin, the strongest person from the Previous Civilization.

With Schicksal also having two powerful generals, Durandal and Theresa, who wield the Divine Key, it's fair to say that everyone would conclude that "we already have a significant advantage," and on the surface, there seems to be no problem at all.

Unfortunately, most people don't know that Otto had no intention of fighting the Honkai.

At least at this stage, Otto is only preparing to fight against the Honkai, but in terms of his subjective actions, he is not an enemy of the Honkai.

Now, only a handful of people within the entire headquarters know some of the inside information.

Bronya, extremely anxious, is trying her best to hack the playback system of those light screens using electronic warfare technology.

However, because the incident happened so suddenly, she was unable to turn off the damn video.

Amber, who had been acting as Otto's inside man, could only let out a soft sigh after seeing the footage of Otto's counter-strategy.

As someone who knew part of Otto's plan, Amber's feelings were very complicated.

She knew that some of Otto's actions were not right in a broad sense, but because she was born of Otto, she couldn't bring herself to oppose Otto.

In this situation, she could only choose to be a spectator, coldly observing everything from the sidelines.

Changguang, who had been working overtime, knew that everyone would have to face all of this sooner or later after submitting the plan.

But she really didn't expect that Bishop Otto would take such action at this time.

Well, while blowing up everyone else in the world was indeed extreme, in the plan I wrote to Bishop Otto, I should have said... first, transfer everyone to Kolosten to preserve the fighting force and technical personnel.

Bishop Otto's current actions, which seem to be directly proclaiming the Mandate of Schicksal... are about to cause a major incident.

Rita, who was still with Lin Yu and the others, lost her smile when she saw Otto's face.

She once thought that Otto would at most threaten high-ranking combatants like her.

For this reason, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not take any further action after Lin Yu rescued her parents from Kolosten.

But now, Rita realizes she was wrong.

She underestimated Otto's beastly nature.

Judging from Otto's current actions, he clearly intends to drag the entire Schicksal into this mess.

Damn it, doesn't this mean that the safety of my colleagues' families, besides mine, is now at risk?!

Miss Bronya must have noticed this by now, and as an expert in electronic warfare, she is certainly working hard to resolve these images.

I can't interfere with her actions, so now...

—This matter must be informed to Lady Theresa!

At the same time, the ghost inside the bar, watching Otto on the light screen, knew that things had come to this point, and he...

—It's almost time to 'despair'.

Ever since Otto's failed ambush on her, Ghost has been disillusioned with the entire Schicksal.

What future can an organization have if even its leader is a mole?

Moreover, this leader is not a newcomer like Theresa who has only been in power for a month, but an old man who has ruled the Schicksal for five hundred years.

A man who can dictate Schicksal internally and influence the entire world order externally is actually a Honkai dog...

Just considering this, Ghost couldn't help but think about how many comrades fighting against the Honkai Otto had betrayed and how much trouble he had caused in the past five hundred years.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that everyone in Schicksal was incredibly pathetic.

With negative emotions surging, today, when Ghost realized that Otto was about to unleash something big, her disappointment reached its peak.

Ah, so what is the meaning of life after all?

In the end, we are all just tools in Otto's hands.

We are all Schicksal to be losers, and what good ending can losers possibly have?

As for Himeko and Theresa, who now know the inside story but haven't given up hope, they can only wait and see what Otto is going to say since they can't stop the video.

"Ah, this is a very long story. From the past to the present, I have been working hard for one thing, working hard, working hard for a full five hundred years."

At this moment, Otto, with a slightly nostalgic expression, continued to talk to himself in the video.

"Of course, thanks to the kindness of all my comrades, I have indeed received a lot of help from everyone in the Schicksal five hundred years."

"But today, I feel there are some things I must tell you the truth. After all, there is an old Shenzhou saying: 'Paper cannot keep out fire.'"

"Unfortunately, although Schicksal is an anti- Honkai organization, I personally have no desire to fight against the Honkai."

"Yes, not only that, I myself have been secretly assisting the development of the Honkai over the past five hundred years."

After saying this, Otto revealed a half-smile on his face.

"Upon arriving here, some comrades will probably think, 'Ah, this guy is definitely a fake, impersonating the bishop to smear him.'"

"That's normal. After all, I've disguised myself very well over the past five hundred years. Almost no one could tell that Otto Apocalypse was letting the Honkai develop Honkai."

"Of course, our Schicksal Ones are full of talented people. Even if I hide it well, there are still people who can see through my true colors. So, to express my high praise for their intelligence, I naturally..."

"—We chose to kill them immediately."

"Hey everyone, please don't look at me like that."

After uttering those infuriating words, Otto gave an incredibly exaggerated smile.

"Although I'm not a good person, sometimes I can be kind just a little bit."

"After they learned that the Bishop of Schicksal was a lackey of the Honkai, they, who could not tell others this secret, must have been tormented."

"And coincidentally, I am a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see them suffer, so sending them down should be a way of doing justice to the time we worked together."

Looking at Otto, who was performing a one-man show on the 'stage', Himeko and Theresa felt a chill run through their hearts.

For various reasons, the two of them actually knew more or less the truth about some things in the past.

However, hearing the truth from other people is a completely different experience from hearing Otto say what they believe should never be said.

Especially now, if even these two insiders can feel a chill run down their spines, then the other colleagues within Schicksal must be wondering about Otto's actions and even be in a state of confusion.

"Of course, words alone are not enough. I think I should produce something concrete to prove that I am not lying."

In the video, Otto snaps his fingers lightly.

As he operated the system, another video suddenly appeared within the first video.

"The reason why Anti-Entropy- Entropy, which was once the North American Branch of Schicksal, suddenly rebelled was not because they were bad people or idiots."

"On the contrary, they were too smart, so smart that they hindered my plans, so I had no choice but to get rid of these overly clever guys."

"Of course, the reason why their city was in trouble was because I dropped Honkai Energy Fission Bomb on them."

"Not good!"

Upon hearing Otto's words, Himeko immediately spoke to Theresa.

"If I remember correctly, many of my colleagues from Schicksal have families in Kolosten, right?"

If my guess is correct, then now...

"You mean Grandpa plans to take direct action against Kolosten?!"

After instantly understanding Himeko's thoughts, Theresa immediately initiated a communication with the intelligence department.

"Ghost! Hurry up and let it pass—"

"Theresa, it's too late."

At that moment, a dark ghost in his heart spoke calmly to Theresa.

"Just now, my colleagues discovered that a weapon with Great Honkai energy reaction was being fired at Kolosten."

"Based on my estimation, this is probably Honkai Energy fission bomb. In our current state... do you think anyone can stop this thing?"

"Let me!"

At this moment, Theresa looked at the Divine Key [Oath of Judah] that had flown to her side and spoke to the ghost with utmost decisiveness.

"If it's a Divine Prayer Barrier— "

"Oh right, I forgot to mention something."

In the scene, Otto suddenly seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face gradually turned into a mocking one.

"Perhaps by now, my excellent subordinates have detected that a weapon was fired at Kolosten, but unfortunately, it was just a feint."

"What you detected was just a smokescreen I arranged in advance. Let me see... Hmm, it should explode in about thirty seconds."

At that moment, not only did a 30-second countdown timer appear before everyone's eyes, but a peaceful scene in Kolosten also materialized simultaneously.

To ordinary Schicksal members who were unaware of Otto's scheme, Otto at this moment clearly appeared to have gone mad.

Putting aside why Otto would say such nonsense, the main problem is...

Even if Otto is an ambitious man with other ideas, he shouldn't have suddenly revealed his inner thoughts at this time and then nuked the place that is, in a sense, everyone's hometown, in front of everyone!

Otto himself, however, did not have such thoughts.

Kolosten holds special significance for him, and it contains his hidden plans. Even now, when all else has been done, Otto still doesn't intend to simply nuke Kolosten to pieces.

But now, he needs Schicksal to fall into chaos.

For most of the Schicksal members, their motivations are either to protect their families or to seek revenge against the Honkai.

Now, the Avengers find themselves working for a scoundrel who's letting Honkai, while the Guardians discover their home is about to be blown up by Otto.

At this point, apart from those who were still hypnotizing themselves that "this is not Lord Otto, it is the trick of Anti-Entropy," the remaining people were almost completely mentally broken.

As if to enhance the atmosphere, Otto even released an image of 'Kolosten'.

In the footage, the usually peaceful Kolosten was suddenly reduced to ashes by a weapon of mass destruction falling from the sky.
