Kiana: I'm In! Mei Let Me Join!
As Otto spoke, he pulled out a glass of red wine from somewhere and started shaking it, leaving Amber speechless.
However, despite saying that, he didn't show any sign of worry and instead asked a question.
"Have my invited guests arrived yet?"
"Yes, they are already in the reception room, but do you really want to cooperate with such a suspicious organization?"
"Haha~ Don't say that. If we're just talking about existence, it might be older than Schicksal. It's the World Serpent, an anti- Honkai organization that inherited the will of the Previous Civilization."
Otto narrowed his eyes. Although he spoke with great respect, this old fox was always thinking about how to squeeze every last drop of value out of anyone he could use.
Inside the reception room of Schicksal.
Gray Serpent sat quietly on the sofa, its mechanical prosthetic eye emitting a dangerous red light.
Although it was indeed a cold and cunning 'snake', in the presence of a man named Otto Apocalypse, any dangerous venomous snake would appear harmless and pure.
"Mr. Otto, it's truly astonishing. I never expected you to take the initiative to discuss cooperation with our World Serpent. You said you have a way to bring our Lord back from the Sea of Quantum. Are you serious about this?"
Gray Serpent asked in a calm tone.
Just yesterday, this Archbishop of Schicksal actually took the initiative to contact the World Serpent, Current Civilization is still secretly developing, and racked his brains to figure out how to retrieve Kevin from the sea.
Although World Serpent originally intended to completely ignore dangerous figures like Otto Apocalypse and not get involved with him in the slightest before Kevin's return.
However, the news he mentioned was so important that Gray Serpent and the others could not ignore it.
"I'm very curious how you knew the whereabouts of the Lord. And... I remember that not long ago, Your Excellency, you sent two S-Rank Valkyrie to steal the Second Divine Key, the Chariot of Sanctus, which should have belonged to our World Serpent."
"Let bygones be bygones, Mr. Gray Serpent. Let's turn our attention to the future. I genuinely want to discuss cooperation with your World Serpent."
Otto placed his hand on his heart and smiled, indicating that he intended to reciprocate with sincerity.
Gray Serpent really wanted to roll his eyes and stab him.
Even though he was a mechanical android created by the former civilization Mebius, Gray Serpent could not compare to Otto in any respect. He had fallen into the Fool's rhythm.
"Next, I will be taking some action against the St. Freya Academy. I hope your organization can send some capable individuals to assist me. I promise that Schicksal will reward you handsomely afterwards."
"The best reward for us is the return of the Lord. Mr. Otto, what means do you intend to use to pay this reward? Is it perhaps the Chariot of Sanctus that already belongs to us World Serpent?"
"No, of course not, it's thanks to him."
Otto shook his head and then placed a picture of Bai Ge in front of Gray Serpent.
"As far as I know, this young man possesses quantum powers, and he can help you bring Kevin Kaslana back from the Sea of Quantum. Here is the video evidence."
"!!!"
The Gray Serpent's prosthetic eye glowed bright red.
When it saw Bai Ge in the video opening the passage to the Sea of Quantum with human power and bringing the Chi You Honkai Beast into it, it stood up excitedly.
Otto smiled as he saw its appearance.
"My goal is the Herrscher of the Void, but this young man will inevitably become an obstacle. So I'll borrow your power. After this is done, the Herrscher of the Void will be mine, and you can keep this young man as you please, World Serpent. How about it?"
"The World Serpent has no reason to refuse."
The Gray Serpent did not hesitate for long.
The key issue is that it didn't have a choice.
During this time, World Serpent racked its brains, trying its best to figure out how to get Kevin back from the Sea of Quantum.
However, the result was that all of them were wood.
The Chariot of Sanctus is controlled by Schicksal, the Abyss Flower is controlled by Anti-Entropy, the X-10 experiment has been declared a failure, and even Cocolia, the mother fox, has mysteriously vanished.
With the emergence of Herrscher from the Current Civilization, they must quickly welcome Kevin back and begin Stigmata Project.
If the boy in the video truly possesses the ability to open the Sea of Quantum, then the World Serpent will undoubtedly go to great lengths to obtain it.
"World Serpent agrees to cooperate, but before we send anyone over, could you please let me know Mr. Otto's plans? I think this is essential for our cooperation."
"Of course. Since we are friends on the same side, I will not hide anything. I, Otto Apocalypse, have always been open and honest with my friends."
Otto shrugged and laid out a small part of his plan in front of Gray Serpent.
After reading it for a while, the mechanical body trembled slightly and became somewhat out of control.
The Gray Serpent looked at the man before it with extreme apprehension.
Deep down, I'm certain that although they're in different ways, Otto is indeed an extremely dangerous person, just like Kevin. (However, both of them have been ruthlessly tricked by Bai Ge.)
"What a terrible plan. Are you even human?"
"Hahaha~ Of course I'm human, my friend. Do you think a demon could come up with such an idea? No~ Only humans would be so cruel, wouldn't they?"
"That's true, but it's really surprising."
Gray Serpent read Otto's plan again, analyzing the man's psychology from line to line, feeling as if he were peering into a bottomless abyss.
What surprised him even more was that this abyss-like man was also wary of something at this moment.
"I thought Mr. Otto was an extremely arrogant and confident man, but your plans are clearly the result of your all-out effort, without a trace of arrogance or contempt. They are utterly despicable, utterly filthy, and even full of concern for the unexpected."
"Of course it has to be that way, after all, that boy is indeed an enemy who deserves to be treated this way."
"Oh? Is it really that amazing?"
Gray Serpent was quite surprised. At this moment, in his eyes, Otto Apocalypse was undoubtedly the most dangerous person in the world, yet this was a boy whom even Otto was so wary of.
Who exactly is this person? Gray Serpent just hopes that he won't become a stumbling block to the World Serpent's future Stigmata Project.
"He is indeed incredibly powerful, the only opponent in the last few hundred years who has ever made me suffer a great loss. And 900... his growth rate has far exceeded my expectations. Hey~ he even managed to steal an S-Rank Valkyrie from me a while ago, can you believe it?"
"Well, okay, it seems there are more heroes and great men in this world than I imagined. But even so, is it really necessary for you to go to such lengths? Isn't this a bit too much..."
Gray Serpent's tone was somewhat subtle.
He had assumed that someone like Otto, even if his plans were extremely insidious and cunning, would still exude the same elegance and composure as the man himself.
It will be like a seasoned hunter dealing with its prey.
However, based on only this partial information, Gray Serpent discovered that Otto did not possess such a superior mindset.
It was as if he wasn't hunting, but rather scheming against another equally matched hunter, but...
They only tricked you, Otto, once, but you acted like you were going to gamble everything. Not only did you gather such a powerful force as Schicksal, but you even came to our World Serpent to seek outside help. Isn't that a bit too petty?
In addition, there are these indescribably vicious plans.
Anyone who didn't know better would think this young man had cheated on you.
"Aren't you being overly cautious, Mr. Otto? After all, the other party is just a teenager who is less than a fraction of your age."
"I don't deny that I was being cautious, but he is a special person. When I was with him, my intuition told me that I had to go all out, otherwise I might mess things up like last time."
Otto shrugged; he wasn't careless at all.
Looking at the boy in the photo.
Otto no longer regarded Bai Ge as a teenager, but as a truly dangerous opponent.
Moreover, the Herrscher of the Void is a crucial step in his resurrection of the Saintess, and Otto must ensure a 1000% success rate without any unexpected incidents.
"Well, having a prudent partner is a good thing. There's an old saying in Shenzhou: 'It's not the god-like opponent you should fear, but the pig-like teammate.' Mr. Otto is clearly not the latter."
"I also believe that World Serpent is not a terrible teammate. Now you should have decided who to send to support me, right? I hope it's someone strong."
"Of course, I guarantee her abilities."
"Gray Serpent said confidently."
What he didn't tell Otto was that there was only one World Serpent that could fight right now.
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to intelligence work, Jackal is a complete idiot when it comes to scientific research. The few future officers who are capable of fighting haven't even joined World Serpent yet.
Therefore, there was only one person who could be sent.
"Let me introduce you to our World Serpent's professional officer, codenamed Raven, currently ranked number one on the mercenary leaderboard, whose strength is comparable to that of the S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal."
"Moreover, she is also the user of the Third Divine Key, the Key of Judgment? The Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins, which can kill any enemy with a single hit."
As he spoke, Gray Serpent dialed Raven's communication number.
However, the next second...
Raven: "Hey? Gray Serpent, I've saved up enough money and I'm planning to resign from World Serpent. I'm letting you know now."
Gray Serpent: "..."
Otto: "..."

The Floating Island Schicksal.
"No way! I won't do it no matter what!"
Raven sat on the sofa with his elbows folded.
Those two perfect, long legs were crossed, and the sharp heels of their high heels looked like they could kill someone.
Even the jet-black hooded tactical armor couldn't hide her beautiful figure.
