When They Are Heroes, In Honkai Impact 3: Part 50

Even so, looking at the game ID that was clearly slandering him, and the game score that was far beyond his reach, Otto felt terrible.

He remembered the last time he'd lost his composure was when facing the second Honkai, the Herrscher of the Void.

A few minutes later.

Otto smiled with satisfaction, swirling his wine glass as he watched his account reclaim the top spot on the Kallen Fantasy IV leaderboard.

This was his throne, a symbol of his unwavering love for Kallen.

Otto would never give it up to anyone!

However…

ID: That's it? Otto, the loser!

In just ten minutes, Bai Ge's new account had once again claimed the top spot, pushing him off the throne.

Otto: "Cough! Cough, cough!"

Amber: (Serves you right.)

Amber felt no sympathy watching their Archbishop nearly choke on his wine.

Otto: "What are you waiting for? Ban him! Let's see who's faster, him climbing the ranks or me banning him!"

Amber: "Oh, what is this all about?"

If it weren't for the fact that he was her creator, Amber felt she might consider resigning. Being a secretary to Archbishop Green-Otto, who spent his days doing nothing productive, was exhausting even for a semi-mechanical maid.

Although she felt a bit sorry for the player, Amber followed orders and had the game company ban the account.

As expected, ten minutes later, Bai Ge's new account once again reached the top. (Thank goodness this is a game that tests skill, not equipment.)

This time, his ID made Otto crush the wine glass in his hand.

Bai Ge's ID: This is my love for Saintess Kallen, you clown, your purity isn't enough!

If Otto hadn't been so angry before, now he was truly, truly furious!

"You bastard! Who are you calling impure! How can my love for Kallen be impure! Also, does this game have no ID length limit!"

Otto gritted his teeth and said.

You can question his character.

You can question his integrity.

You can even question his hair color!

But you absolutely cannot question Otto Apocalypse's five-hundred-year unwavering pure love for Kallen Kaslana!

"Archbishop, should we continue banning accounts?"

Amber was ready to ban the account.

The game company had already wisely handed over the administrative permissions, after all, they had to cater to their golden patron.

However, this time Otto didn't let her continue.

"No, Amber, it's no longer necessary. This is a challenge to this Archbishop! A test and trial of my love for Kallen!"

"Do you hear yourself?"

"Calling my purity insufficient? Fine, then I'll show you how capable this Archbishop is. Hmph~ While power can solve most problems, sometimes… even when the odds are slim, one must still stand and fight!"

Bai Ge's ID had completely ignited Otto Apocalypse's immense love for the Saintess.

If he continued to ban accounts, he could maintain his throne, but it would also mean Otto admitting that the purity of his love for Saintess Kallen was insufficient.

Therefore, even knowing the odds were not in his favor, he had to brace himself and try! In order to surpass his past limits and create a new record score.

Otto: "Ah~ Kallen, for you, I can do anything!!"

Amber: "…Archbishop, you have more important matters to attend to. We've detected troop movements from Anti-Entropy's mecha units, and they're heading towards Changkong City."

Otto: "Tch!"

Hearing that it was a serious matter requiring his personal decision, Otto had to put down the game controller for now.

He propped his head in his hands and pondered for a moment.

Otto had originally planned to send Theresa to handle it, but ever since the incident during the second Honkai, his beloved granddaughter had become increasingly distant from him.

Although St. Freya Academy, founded by Theresa, now cooperated with Schicksal, Otto knew that the academy was not his subordinate force.

He had no authority to command Theresa and the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy on the surface.

Of course, they would definitely not obey his orders, after all… most of the A-rank Valkyries at St. Freya Academy were those who had been abandoned by him as bait during the second Honkai and then saved by the Herrscher of the Void.

Otto: "Although the combat power of A-rank Valkyries is nothing special, it's still a hassle."

Most of the Valkyries saved by Bai Ge at that time had left the Schicksal organization after the second Honkai.

Many of them had lost faith after learning the truth about Babylon and witnessing the deeds of the Herrscher of the Void, Bai Ge, and no longer worked as Valkyries.

A portion of them followed Cecilia to Anti-Entropy, while another portion followed Theresa to become teachers at St. Freya Academy, intending to train a new generation of Valkyries.

Although the numbers were not large due to the gradual decrease, A-rank Valkyries were sufficient to deal with Honkai Emperors alone. This made St. Freya's roster much stronger than in the original storyline.

They wouldn't have to search the entire academy only to find a single S-rank Valkyrie, Judah, Fu Hua working as a spy, and Miss Himeko as the only three capable fighters.

Otto? Green! Image.

"Forget it, I'll let Theresa handle it. As long as Kiana and her two companions don't fall into Anti-Entropy's hands, that's all that matters."

"Bishop, is this really okay?"

Amber couldn't help but question.

Although Otto never revealed the details of his plans to anyone, Amber, as his secretary, naturally knew more than others, which was why she was having doubts now.

"Of course, it's fine. From the events of the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder, it's clear that as long as a Herrscher has strong bonds with others, human will will eventually triumph over the will of Honkai."

"Before Kiana awakens as the second Herrscher of the Void, I must ensure she cultivates strong bonds with her companions, guaranteeing she can overcome the will of Honkai after awakening."

"And since the goal is to cultivate bonds, heh heh, there's no better place than St. Freya Academy founded by Theresa. Not only can Kiana's own strength grow there, but it's also a great place for them to play house."

"I have to thank my good granddaughter Theresa for this. After all, Schicksal's organizational style is too rigid and serious, it's not warm enough."

Otto picked up a wine glass again, swirling the liquid within. His eyes were filled with deep calculation.

As for how he would snatch Kiana from St. Freya Academy later, Otto wasn't worried at all. He had plenty of cards to play.

Even if St. Freya Academy was stronger than in the original storyline.

It was still only to a certain extent.

"St. Freya Academy only has the combat power of about twenty-odd A-rank Valkyries. If I ask some old friends who owe me a few favors to step in, it will surely be foolproof."

Although still in a severely weakened state, Fu Hua was not injured during the Second Honkai Outbreak.

Even though her strength had been declining over the years, twenty-odd A-rank Valkyries truly couldn't stop the Scarlet Kite Immortal at all.

And besides Fu Hua, Otto had also found two new S-rank Valkyrie combatants over the years. Even if he had to forcibly take them, he could still do it!

Schicksal remained the strongest among the three organizations.

This was true even without considering combat power.

After all, Otto Apocalypse's most terrifying asset had always been his mind, a fact that was vividly displayed during the Second Honkai Outbreak.

Strength was merely an embellishment to him; the Fool's mastery over human hearts was his most terrifying trait.

"Kiana, don't disappoint me. But don't worry, my requirements for you aren't that high. As long as... you can achieve half of what that Herrscher of the Void did back then, I believe it will be enough for you to defeat your Herrscher personality."

After giving a few more detailed instructions, Otto waved his hand, signaling Amber that she could leave.

Then, he cut off the virtual projection in front of him and switched the screen to the game interface of "Kallen Fantasy IV."

Otto: "Alright Amber, don't disturb me for the next two days. I refuse to believe I can't beat this score!"

Amber: "...As long as you enjoy yourself."

In Changkong City.

"Done. I believe this score is enough for that bastard Otto to grind for two days and two nights. Tsk, and I've only used eighty percent of my strength."

Bai Ge effortlessly pushed his game score up another notch, thinking with a wicked grin.

(When Otto finally breaks my record after grinding for two days and two nights, I'll immediately surpass him again. Heh heh, next time I'll change my ID to something that will infuriate him even more.)

Thinking this, he glanced at his current ID again, and Bai Ge broke into a delighted smile.

Otto wasn't the only one who could read people's minds in this world. This Captain Bai was well aware that this devoted Kallen fan was always extremely obsessive when it came to matters concerning Kallen.

Even though he knew it was meaningless, Otto wouldn't ban his account again. After all, the act of competing for the top spot on the leaderboard was inherently meaningless.
