You Have a New Job (Continued)

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, I think I understand what Cocolia's plan is. Could it be that she's developed some kind of consciousness uploading technology, preparing to send real-world Herrscher into the digital world for a Herrscher war in the data world?"

Otto stroked his chin, thinking that this should be it.

The Thousand-Person Ruler probably entered the online world only through the technology prepared by Cocolia, right?

Of course, it's also possible that she inherently possesses such powers. Judging from the Second Great Honkai of Changkong City, this child's powers are unprecedentedly diverse; she might even have the ability to enter the cyber world.

Otto pondered it for a moment, but didn't delve into it further.

"Continue to monitor the battle situation and look for opportunities to break through."

Otto waved his hand and gave the order.

His plan is almost complete.

As he is about to achieve his long-cherished wish, Otto is forced to pay attention to the world that Kallen loves.

He couldn't let the world Kallen loved become ruins, nor did he want to leave Yae Sakura, Theresa, Durandal, and the others with a world riddled with holes.

Therefore, this Herrscher of Erosion, capable of destroying a large portion of humanity's resources, must be taken down!

Just then, Otto saw Yae Sakura carrying the black sword, walking down the steps, her beautiful face showing a hint of hesitation.

"Mr. Otto, I think..."

"You want to enter the cyber world and join the hunt by the Herrscher of Erosion?"

Otto saw through his little witch's plan almost immediately.

Simply put, if you put yourself in Kallen, you can fully understand her unwavering kindness and sense of responsibility.

Yae Sakura paused for a moment, then slowly nodded, confirming Otto's judgment.

Otto focused his gaze on Yae Sakura, staring at her for a long time before saying:

"Can you really do that? Can Jizo Mitama send you into the online world?"

"I feel it's possible. Essentially, this body is just Hiyomaru used her Erosion Authority to transform from falsehood into reality. Jizo Mitama allows me to walk in the real world, so naturally it can allow me to walk in the data world... I can do it, so this is the responsibility I should bear!"

Yae Sakura said firmly.

Otto looked at the determination on her face and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips.

"This time, even if I try to stop you, will you still go?"

"... Yes, Mr. Otto."

After a long pause, Yae Sakura nodded again.

Otto's smile widened instantly.

' Yae Sakura, a wisp of soul that drifted in from five hundred years ago, had no desires, including the will to survive; she simply followed the tide for Kallen's sake, and because of my relationship with Kallen, she followed in my footsteps.'

'But without realizing it, you've also rediscovered your will and begun making decisions based on your own thoughts.'

'That's good; a numb marionette cannot be called alive.'

Only in this way can one truly be considered alive, and only then can one shoulder a heavy responsibility.

' Kallen, this is what you wanted to see, isn't it?'

Otto thought that he had no more to ask for in his ugly and twisted life.

But looking at Yae Sakura, whose eyes were resolute yet seemed to be anxiously waiting for his permission, Otto felt that he himself, who had come this far because of that obsession, had not actually gone against Kallen's original wishes in every way, had he?

"Do as you please."

Otto waved with a gentle smile.

"Mr. Otto, I'm off!"

Just as Otto had predicted, Yae Sakura revealed a cute, relieved smile. Then, her eyes sharpened, she drew her Jizo Mitama, and she and her sword transformed into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing into the large screen.

Otto observed the Valkyrie who had witnessed this scene, their expressions filled with admiration and blessing. He beckoned Amber closer and said:

"Make preparations in advance, and after the incident is over, vigorously promote the fearless spirit and great contributions of Valkyrie Yae Sakura."

"... Yes, Lord Otto."

After a moment of silence, Amber slowly bowed and accepted the order.

No one has been able to accompany Otto for so many years like Amber, and therefore no one understands Otto as well as Amber.

From these every move, Amber had already sensed the future that Otto was about to leave behind.

This left the seemingly carefree, semi-mechanical, beautiful doll feeling bewildered and helpless.

Ultimately, she was merely a tool created by Otto, and she knew nothing more than to follow the will of her creator.

'Well...'

A complex and inexplicable sigh lingered in Amber's heart, and then she began to consider how to carry out Otto's orders.

'Excellent. Schicksal now possesses a force capable of wreaking havoc in the data world. Next, Anti-Entropy should also unleash the same power to achieve balance.'

As a mastermind behind the scenes and a ruthless supervillain, Anqi not only hunts down the Herrscher of Erosion but also has to consider her own grand scheme.

There's nothing we can do; Anti-Entropy has become her sole domain.

On Schicksal other hand, one is destined to be the heir to the estate.

On the World Serpent's side, after the final battle, regardless of Kevin's fate, he will no longer interfere with the organization's management, meaning he will still belong to Anqi.

With control of three major organizations, the last remaining piece of the transcendent power, Great Void Mountain, will definitely stand up for Anqi, which means that this entire civilization is already in her grasp.

'Sigh, that's how all the villainous bosses in stories are: ambitious, meticulous, thoughtful, and detail-oriented... Is that what you call professionalism?'

Anqi comforted herself in this way, took Kiana's hand, and went to outer space beyond the planet.

[An... Anqi... This is space... I can't breathe...]

Kiana was horrified. She covered her neck, her face flushed, and tried to speak in a panic, but couldn't make a sound in the vacuum.

"... You're Herrscher, you won't die even if you don't breathe. It's just the space environment, you'll get used to it."

Anqi used Honkai Energy to create vibrations to make a sound, a hint of speechlessness in her eyes.

Just as she said, Kiana instinctively tightened her neck, her face turning red, her eyes clear, and her complexion pale, just like when she was on a planet—besides, the Herrscher of the Void, Anqi, was still inside her body, how could she let this silly child get into trouble?

Kiana blinked and slowly released her neck.

[Huh... it seems like everything's really alright?]

"Adapt on your own, she's here!"

Anqi released Kiana, letting her drift away in circles, looking rather flustered and comical.

Anqi's lips curled up, and she reached out, the Crimson Gold Ancient Sword reappearing in her hand, aimed at a space station not far away.

"Sky Sword, draw your sheath!"

A colossal sword appeared on the planet and slashed across the sky.

Like St. Freya, it only severed the corrosive power that had fled here, without harming the physical body.

However, the Herrscher of Erosion spread everywhere, forcibly attacking and taking over the original data system. This meant that when it lost its support, the systems and the tiny electrical components associated with them in the space station would collapse and break down, just like the temporarily silent St. Freya.

If the pursuit continues in this manner, the Herrscher of Erosion will surely be captured, but the losses incurred along the way will be substantial.

Of course, compared to the devastating consequences of mechanical rebellion and the rampant devastation of the globe by various rockets and artillery shells, such losses can be considered negligible.

But Anqi couldn't think that way.

This civilization is already hers; how can she tolerate it being ruined like this?

Fortunately, Anqi, who could change this predicament, also made her timely appearance.
