Welt: Let's Take Down Otto Together, My Friend! (Continued)

"Welt, do me a favor."

"Oh? Just let me know if you need anything."

"Go to the sea around Guangzhou City in Shenzhou and find a deep abyss called Nine Abyss Depths. I remember that a Judgment-Class Honkai Beast named Chi You is sealed there."

"Wh-what?!"

Welt's eyes widened in surprise.

He felt that ever since he met Bai Ge today, he had been in a state of constant shock.

Does this young man know too much?

However, on second thought, wanting to know more isn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, Bai Ge was ultimately on the side of humanity. Although he was very curious about how Bai Ge knew so much, everyone has their own secrets, and Welt wouldn't delve too deeply into it.

"Do this quietly, don't let the people of Schicksal find out. It's okay if it's slow. Just send someone to inform me after you discover Chi You."

"Okay, no problem. I plan to send someone to the prison to secretly bail Ryoma out, and then send him to find the Chi You Honkai Beast you mentioned. Do you know its exact location?"

"No, it's just in the waters near Guangzhou City. I estimate you'll need some time to investigate."

Bai Ge shrugged and said that in the original story, it was probably because of Kiana, the lucky koi fish, that she managed to find such a large sea area in one shot.

"Oh, right, also prepare some high-concentration Honkai Energy Crystal for me, at least the amount required for Herrscher."

"Okay, I'll have someone collect it."

Welt. After talking with Bai Ge today, he felt that the young man in front of him exuded two words: reliable!

Those who doubt will not believe, and those who trust will not doubt. Considering that Bai Ge has already protected humanity from the Honkai twice, Welt has decided that no matter what support Bai Ge needs, he will do his best.

After all, he owed Bai Ge a huge favor.

"By the way, Welt, why don't you just give me the Herrscher of Reason Core?"

"... This really can't be supported!"

Welt's eye twitched violently, and he decided to take back what he had said earlier. This person really had no manners at all. You actually want my core? Isn't that a bit too greedy?!

Bai Ge crossed his arms, looking like he was doing this for your own good.

"Is this really necessary? Besides, you're not actually suited to be the Herrscher of Reason Core, are you? You can't even reach the second level. Why don't you let me have some fun with you?"

"... How do you know so much about the Herrscher of Reason? You know way too much."

"Ah... cough cough, actually, when I fused the four Herrscher Core on the moon, I saw the Honkai God, and then I basically knew everything. Just think of it as that."

Bai Ge looked away expressionlessly.

However, what he said earlier was indeed true.

Welt is not suited to be the Herrscher of Reason... If he were to be one, he should be the Herrscher of Earth. His traditional skills of using Star of Eden are practically ingrained in his DNA.

Moreover, the three realms of the Herrscher of Reason.

The first level is to create something after understanding its structure—this is also Welt's current level.

The second level is the ability to directly construct and counter any technological invention possessed by the Previous Civilization, without needing to understand it.

The third realm is the truth after ascension, capable of materializing the fantastical into reality. As long as a theory is achievable within the imaginary number system, it can turn it into reality. (I think if it can, then it can!)

"Give it to me, be generous. I've helped you so much, it's not unreasonable to ask for a core as a reward."

Bai Ge rubbed his fingers together and asked for it.

He felt he should be assertive and confident.

What's wrong with needing a core? He helped resolve the civil war's phantom god Cocolia, averted numerous tragedies caused by her, and even saved Welt from doing so many sit-ups.

Besides, ultimately, Anti-Entropy picked up the Herrscher of Thunder Core I dropped, so it's only fair that they compensate me with a new core.

Old Yang, you'd better hurry up and hand over Gangsang. You can't use it well anyway. At worst, I'll let you play with that piece after I deal with the future Herrscher of Earth.

Bai Ge stated that this was to maximize the use of combat power, and definitely not because he wanted to pilot a Gundam or anything like that...

He simply shrugged at Welt.

"..."

Old Yang was speechless. For some reason, he actually had the feeling that he should give the core to Bai Ge. Was this guy too good at fooling people?

"I really can't give it to you right now. The existence of the Herrscher of Reason is too important to Anti-Entropy, and I think my old bones can hold on a little longer."

"... Wouldn't it be better to take a break? I see you really enjoy being a teacher at the girls' school. Once you've handed over the core curriculum, you can officially retire, and I'll take over the responsibilities afterwards."

"Haha~ Never mind, I believe you have the potential to inherit the name 'World/ Welt', but the Honkai of this civilization has only just begun, and I can't stop it yet."

Welt laughed and patted Bai Ge on the shoulder.

He is not the kind of person who clings to power and is unwilling to give it up. If he finds a suitable successor, Welt Young would be happy to hand over the power of the Herrscher of Reason to that person.

But it's not that time yet.

He could see that Bai Ge was still getting stronger, but possessing the power of the Herrscher of Reason too early was not a good thing for him.

After all, Otto is still alive. If we were to get him to focus his attention on Bai Ge...

The boy who had indeed died before his eyes several years ago has now indeed come back to life. That man will definitely frantically search for all the secrets on Bai Ge's body.

After all, the system's memory limitations are not perfect.

Strong emotions can break through this limitation.

Objective evidence is also acceptable.

If Otto were to thoroughly investigate Bai Ge, for example, by collecting his genes and comparing them with the genes of the Herrscher of the Void from several years ago.

That will eventually reveal the fact that the two are the same person.

Although Welt was unaware of this, his thinking was simple: he could still attract the attention of that lucky dog, giving Bai Ge time to develop in a low-key manner.

"... Don't worry, Welt. I'm a man of principle who always settles scores and seeks revenge. I already have a plan on how to deal with Otto Apocalypse."

"That's great! Can I join you?"

"Sure."

Bai Ge and Welt smiled at the same time.

The two shook hands in a very friendly manner, the meaning of which was quite clear—as long as you also want to deal with that shill, then we are good friends.

Otto Apocalypse is a very cautious man; dealing with him won't be easy.

But... he was also an arrogant and conceited person.

They felt that everything in the world was under their control, and that their plans would not have any flaws or errors.

Although he appears polite on the surface, he actually looks down on everyone equally.

Although he called himself a fool, he believed that no one in the world could surpass him in strategy.

So hypocritical, contradictory, arrogant, persistent, ruthless, and affectionate... Otto Apocalypse can be described as the epitome of contradiction.

"But I already understand this guy's true nature. If I make good use of his arrogance, it won't be difficult to outmaneuver Otto. As long as he thinks his plan is still going smoothly, he won't be on guard."

At that time, Bai Ge could freely accumulate power in a blind spot outside of his plans, and then at the most crucial moment...

Give this shill a big surprise!

"It seems you already have a plan?"

Welt said with great interest.

He doesn't have many hobbies, but if you say he can scheme against Otto, Old Yang says he's wide awake.

Bai Ge smiled and nodded, but his cunning expression made him seem like a white fox.

"Ultimately, I need to become stronger first, and becoming stronger is actually quite simple for me..."

As long as he keeps traveling through time and space, Bai Ge can become stronger, but he won't completely stick to that.

The question is how to quickly become stronger in the Current Civilization.

The answer, of course, is to become Herrscher.

"I hate losing things the most. Everything I lose will eventually come back to me."

Bai Ge raised her right hand and clenched it tightly.

He was once an apostle of the Gods, wielding five powerful powers, but unfortunately, due to some despicable clown, his crown and the five jewels on it were all lost.

"I'm happy to give away the Conquest Gem and the Gem of Serenity as gifts to Mei and Kiana, but... the remaining Serene Gem, the Gem of Desire, and the Gem of Corruption will surely return to my hands!"

It could be said that Bai Ge chose to join St. Freya Academy for this very purpose.

Knowing the plot, he knew very well that only here could he have a chance to retrieve the three Herrscher Core!

"... That's really something. Young people these days are terrifying. Well then, I wish you all the best and hope you succeed. As I always say, if you need anything, just let me know... I'll try my best to fulfill your requests, except for the core of the Herrscher of Reason."

Welt said seriously that he was always willing to put in his best effort when dealing with Otto.

"Alright, then you should go back to Anti-Entropy early and stop slacking off. Let me know when you've prepared for the Chi You matter."

"No problem. Hmm~ Looks like I'll have to submit my resignation to Principal Theresa. I wonder if this month's salary will arrive smoothly," Welt said jokingly.

Suddenly, Bai Ge thought of something and said in a serious tone.
