Bai Ge: At This Moment, I Am the Herrscher of Reason!
Bai Ge then recounted Kevin's love story, mostly consisting of trivial details, but he tried to be as realistic as possible regarding the part about strength.
After all, only by letting Otto know how threatening this popsicle is can he be made to think twice and not consider releasing that thing from the Sea of Quantum.
Ten minutes later, Otto frowned.
"Having lived in the Sea of Quantum for over 1500 years without eating or drinking, even when its energy is depleted and its strength is less than one-thousandth of what it was, it can still far surpass Herrscher. It can easily create World Bubble. Although it possesses rationality, it is extremely obsessed with matters related to Honkai, with a very strong obsession. It does not mind using force to obtain what it needs, and... it especially loves instant noodles, especially loves them."
"How is it? Is it the kind of love that satisfies you?"
"It's alright, just so-so."
It's similar to the profile I made using the information recorded in the Void Archives of the First Divine Key.
However, some additional information was added.
Especially in terms of strength, Otto was convinced that this was a powerful monster whose schemes and tricks were ineffective.
To be honest, Kevin is the type of person Otto can't handle the most.
With overwhelming power capable of sweeping away everything, and... for someone like Rin-gak, who lives solely on his obsession, Otto's mastery of manipulating people's minds has no effect on him.
Thinking back to the Second Honkai Eruption, Bai Ge was almost invincible at that time. He was a five-core Herrscher, and a cautious Herrscher who didn't get arrogant. He had almost no weaknesses.
However, Bai Ge has a girl he needs to protect.
His brilliant humanity became his weakness.
(It's almost certain that the beacon of the Chariot of Sanctus is on Kevin. Although I really don't want to put this uncontrollable monster back into the Prime World, there's nothing I can do about it.)
Otto frowned slightly, lost in thought.
(The cards I can use to trade for the beacon... Void Archives is an option, the Herrscher of Wind is also worth a try, and... although it seems unrealistic, maybe all kinds of instant noodles in the world would work.)
The fact that Otto likes slurping noodles, which he learned from Bai Ge, is arguably the most valuable piece of information he has revealed so far.
Because all his other characteristics only made him think that it was a monster with an obsession, only his love for slurping noodles made him seem like a human being.
Thinking of this Otto couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
Three hundred sets of B-Rank Valkyrie Armor, costing tens of billions, is probably the most valuable thing I've ever done, and the most unprofitable business I've ever made.
But at least it gave him some hope.
Otto was planning to activate the Chariot of Sanctus as soon as he was ready to return to the Schicksal Mandate, retrieve Kevin from the Sea of Quantum, and obtain the beacon he had been dreaming of.
However, at this very moment...
Bai Ge took out a golden object from his pocket, which made Otto realize that it was the familiar power of the Herrscher of the Void.
He immediately opened his eyes wide, his face showing astonishment.
"This, this could be?!"
"Speaking of which, Fengwen gave me this thing, saying it's some Chariot of Sanctus, that can open a passage to some kind of tree, but I don't know exactly how to use it."
Bai Ge fiddled with the beacon in his hand.
He relished the obvious surprise, disbelief, and other grotesque expressions on Otto Apocalypse at that moment.
A pleased smile appeared on his face.
"How did you get this?!"
Otto took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down before asking.
Bai Ge shrugged and waved the beacon in his hand.
Is this question important?
"... No, it's really not important."
"That's right, the important thing is that it's in my hands now, and Mr. Otto, you seem to really want it."
As Bai Ge spoke, he gripped the object tightly in his hand, took a step back, and stared at Durandal.
Otto narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that his recent loss of composure was truly careless and an inexcusable mistake.
After all, the more you desire a treasure, the less you should show your desire. This is a principle he learned five hundred years ago, but now...
It can only be said that Bai Ge played this card at the perfect time. Just when Otto was most eager to get the beacon, he took it out and directly broke Otto's poker face.
(Let Durandal take it over—no, putting aside the fact that she would resist such an order, she's already on guard. Given the enemy's strength, it's impossible for her to take it over, so...)
"Bai Ge, are you interested in making Otto Apocalypse bleed money again?"
Otto made up his mind instantly.
He spread his arms wide, as if to say, "Now you've found my weakness, you can attack me at will."
"Of course, of course~ I'm very interested."
Bai Ge's lips curled up in excitement, while Otto nodded slightly in satisfaction. As long as Bai was willing to make the deal, it was good news for him.
"Very well, now you can name whatever you want. Wealth, status, power... I don't think you're that interested. So, how about more Valkyrie? Throne series weapons? Or something else?"
"Hehe, I'll have to think about that. By the way, how about those two S-Rank Valkyrie behind you?"
Bai Ge looked at Durandal and Rita and said.
Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.
Chapter 131, Bai Ge: At this moment, I am the Herrscher of Reason! (Please subscribe automatically)
"Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony. How about those two S-Rank Valkyrie behind you?"
Bai Ge smiled and looked at Durandal and Rita, saying, "This is indeed what I most wanted to achieve, but unfortunately..."
"Hahaha~ You really love to joke, Bai Ge. Durandal and Rita are my right-hand women. If they followed you, I, who am powerless, would probably be killed by some Herrscher of Reason the very next day."
Otto chuckled dryly and shook his head.
Compared to weapons and armor, the loss of high-end combat power like Durandal is something he absolutely must avoid right now. Although what he just said was a bit exaggerated, it was pretty much true.
At the very least, Schicksal will fall from being the world's strongest power to second, or even third.
Otto: "Durandal is out of the question... At most, I'll give you Rita."
Bai Ge: "Tsk, so stingy. Fine, I'll take it."
Rita: "???"
The owner of the refrigerator was completely dumbfounded. She had witnessed her boss and a teenager complete their verbal deal, which she found incomprehensible and deeply shocking.
Are you two even polite?!
"Your Excellency, I disagree!"
The Golden Valkyrie immediately stepped forward to object.
"Durandal ~"
Rita was deeply moved, looking at her good friend—no, her captain—who bravely stood in front of her, and thought to herself that no matter what, Durandal would never abandon her.
Unfortunately, this naive and innocent goose is indeed hard to beat in a battle, but...
At this moment, she was facing a complete conman!
"Ahem, Durandal, listen to me, this isn't the kind of verbal dispute you're thinking of."
"What?"
"This is... a top-secret mission to infiltrate the enemy's ranks. Yes, that's it! Our last spy comrade Fu Hua, was turned, wasn't she? Now Schicksal needs someone to continue this difficult mission, and as a professional S-Rank Valkyrie, I believe Rita is definitely up to the task."
Otto said in a serious tone that he had already prepared his reasons without even having to write a draft.
And they actually managed to fool Durandal.
The big white goose tilted its head in a cute, dazed way.
"Um, is that so? Since it's a mission, there's nothing I can do. I also believe that Rita can definitely do it."
"Durandal..."
Rita was on the verge of tears, feeling utterly devastated.
Don't you know what kind of person this bishop is? You can't believe a single word he says, not even a punctuation mark. Seriously, am I really going to be sold out to my face like this?
She is, after all, S-Rank Valkyrie.
Is it really that shameful?
"Rita, good luck! Be careful on the mission."
Durandal clenched her fist and made a cheering gesture. Even though she had lost her memory, her azure eyes still sparkled with the silly cuteness inherited from Kaslana.
"... Yes, Rita understands."
Poor Sister Ta nodded bitterly.
Then she noticed that Bai Ge was smiling and waving at her, indicating that Rita could come and stand over here.
Rita War Scythe tighter, somewhat speechless.
She glanced at everyone except Durandal without leaving a trace, thinking to herself, "It's just that my Rita isn't sharp enough and is War Scythe as big as yours, otherwise I would have wiped you all out!"
But in the end, the maid resigned herself to her fate and obediently stood beside Bai Ge, thus completing the placement of Schicksal S-class spy.
It was inserted so openly and honestly, yet it looked so pathetic.
