Good Night, Welt / Anti-Entropy's Acting Sovereign Leader

The Void Archive - Raining Down Heavenly Splendor!

There is no need for anything eternal in this world; all things are illusions, fleeting and impermanent. All forms are illusory; if one sees all forms as non-forms, then one sees the Tathagata!

The First Divine Key: Key of Revelation [Void Archive] is a weapon created by Dr. Mei of the previous generation using the core of the First Herrscher of Herrscher of Reason. Its normal form is a golden hexahedron, which can be transformed into a fluid. It can replicate weapons and items whose construction principles the user understands. In this generation, it was obtained in Asia by Shakyamuni, the ancestor of the Apocalypse family.

Indeed, in a sense, Otto was a descendant of Shakyamuni, and his understanding of the illusory and the real was the most profound.

The [Void Archive] in his hand is essentially a highly developed Herrscher of Reason Core, enough to overwhelm Welt, who is growing in this generation.

If we interpret Welt's manipulation of gravity as using his hands to tear apart a painting belonging to a certain area of the world, or even to repaint it with ink, then...

The people or objects depicted in the painting can naturally create a terrifying area of effect.

But Otto is not "the man in the painting"; he has long been able to exist independently outside of the gravity-distorted environment.

All the Lord Bishop did was lure the inexperienced Welt into exhausting himself so that he could deal with things more easily later.

After this futile overcomputing effort, Welt collapsed to the ground, pale-faced and unsteady on his feet.

It seems he was indeed seriously injured. I wonder if the retrieved Herrscher of Reason Core can enhance the effects of Void Archive.

Otto, who was in complete control, focused primarily on interests and the aftermath; Welt couldn't put even the slightest pressure on him.

However, the young man opposite, who was enduring great Affliction, struggled to his feet. Although every muscle in his body was trembling, he still used his left hand to support his right hand and bent forward.

In an instant, the shadowy figures behind Welt gradually solidified and took shape.

Representing the highest level of technology in [Anti-Entropy], the fleet features rows upon rows of Titan Mecha, Floating Battleship, a dense array of surface-to-air missile units, and Sentinel Robot gleaming with a mercury-like sheen...

As the forests of Yellowstone Region are illuminated and the rocks are covered in metallic hues, the crystallization of human technological civilization forms an invincible torrent of steel.

Conceptual Replication! This is the terrifying Herrscher of Reason Core.

Whether it's an automatic rifle, a giant warship, or even Key of God, Welt can recreate anything whose mechanical structure and operating principles are known.

Furthermore, anything copied by the First Herrscher will form "muscle memory," meaning the body will remember the blueprint and thus be able to copy it better next time. This memory is transmitted through the body.

You could say he's an army all by himself!

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. While Welt's group destructive power is extremely strong, in terms of individual combat strength, he is still easily defeated by these two.

It doesn't matter. As long as we can stop Otto, give everyone a chance to rescue Patrick, and retreat, then all the sacrifices will be worthwhile!

However, for some reason, Welt was still a step too slow. His perception dropped several levels as he focused all his energy on output, and Otto had already silently broken through the firepower blockade and landed behind the Lord Alliance Leader.

"Mimicry - Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment!"

The scorching fireball pierced through Welt's abdomen, rendering him unable to maintain control of the Key of God and the projection of the mechanical forces.

"In this situation, you're still hesitating about whether to open fire at full force? Are you worried about the ordinary people in this area?"

"A pointless act of compassion. You and he are definitely the same kind of people, or maybe you're even more foolish..."

After his easy victory, Otto felt somewhat bored and inwardly repulsed by this so-called "kindness."

It's ironic, really. These descendants of Buddha, who should be compassionate, treat human life like dirt; those who should be conquering and killing humanity's mortal enemies, instead claim to protect the world...

Welt gazed at Patrick, who had disappeared from sight on the mountaintop, and felt a sense of relief.

However, a huge shadow was cast in the sky at this moment, and the technologically advanced Floating Battleship had arrived at the hidden entrance of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, with all its artillery fire aimed at the emergency escape route.

"You think I didn't anticipate your escape?" Otto sneered, his lips pursed.

"Boom!"

The main gun and secondary guns fired simultaneously, unleashing dozens of purplish-red beams of light.

To Otto and Welt's astonishment, the Floating Battleship's target was actually the Lord Bishop, and it brazenly turned its cannons to launch an attack.

P. S.: Some readers are confused about Kevin's identity, so I'll explain it here.

I originally wanted to subtly hint at something and then reverse it, but I might not be able to do it properly, sorry.

The World Serpent is lying; he just wants to increase Kevin's sense of belonging to this world and trick him into achieving a certain goal.

To be precise, Kevin is an alternate dimension counterpart chosen by the [World Serpent]. His soul comes from Earth, but due to the cleansing of the rules, his memories of breaking the rules have gradually become blurred.

[World Serpent] hopes Kevin will be his successor and forge a new path to success.

[World Serpent] saw in the World Bubble that only in the soul of this alternate dimension did the uncertainty representing "change" exist.

As for the specifics, I'll mention them later, in these next few chapters.

Additionally, in Chapter 324, I made some additions to avoid misunderstandings. If you don't mind the trouble, you can take another look at the last few paragraphs.

Chapter 376, Section 394, Goodnight, Welt

"Hey, you two seem to be having a lot of fun..."

[Gray Serpent], wearing a brown-blue cloak and a silver mask, emerged from the billowing smoke and dust, his words laced with a hint of mockery.

"Well done, well done, 6666..."

At the same time, a loud, boisterous figure clapped his hands and stepped forward. The head that approached, though wearing a stern wolf mask, sounded like a silly husky taking a walk.

Behind the two, the follower hidden in the darkness, wearing a bird-beak mask and decorated with black feathers on his head, exuded an aura of deathly stillness, like a raven circling the battlefield, collecting Raven souls of the dead.

When did they sneak in?! And they even secretly controlled the Floating Battleship above!

What made the Lord Bishop wary was that [Raven]'s right hand was gripping the throat of an unconscious, Silver-haired little nun.

Otto had no choice but to temporarily halt his pursuit of Welt, distancing himself from the group, his scrutinizing gaze somewhat cold.

"Okay, I have to admit I underestimated [Anti-Entropy]..."

"Leave your child behind, and I'll have the fleet withdraw..."

[Gray Serpent] pulled the husky that was running around wildly back, and the corners of his lips under the mask slightly lifted.

"It seems she's really important to you; otherwise, given His Lord Bishop's composure, he's unlikely to have made the elementary mistake of deliberately exposing his weaknesses during negotiations..."

"But if you really care about her, you shouldn't have summoned all the Valkyrie scattered around and started all this underhanded stuff..."

At that moment, with a flippant snap of Husky's fingers, the Floating Battleship unleashed a barrage of fire, clearing away all nearby cover.

As the fog dissipated, Salome "The Washerwoman," Shub the "Child of Chaos," and Amber, the Valkyrie was Bishop Otto's professional sidekick, were exposed in three other directions.

This cunning Lord Bishop first used information about the secret war against [Anti-Entropy] to lure out Patrick, a spy hidden in the Snow Wolf Squad.

After Otto captured her, he used the Welt to lure out Valkyrie, who cared deeply about human life.

In fact, to avoid any mishaps, Otto had already opened his pockets and mobilized almost all the combat power on the Floating Battleship when Welt came to the appointment alone.

Today, if it weren't for the sudden "intervention of a third party," Welt would have undoubtedly met his demise on the spot.

As the shockwave spread, Otto's body rippled strangely before bursting like a bubble. A dark figure appeared to the left of [Raven], and several red feathers silently shot towards the back of her head.

The Void Archive - Raining Down Heavenly Splendor!

Mimicry: Feathered Dust!

Otto's attack was swift and decisive, but to his surprise, the Raven under the black cloak was very alert. With a flick and a swipe, its red feathers were shaken off.

At the same time, the woman's fingers tightened, and Theresa, who was unconscious, coughed violently, her face turning purple.

As expected of a character unwilling to be controlled, [Gray Serpent] drew his pistol, aimed at Theresa's head, immediately pulled the trigger, and threw a metal ball.

"Enough!"

Otto, his face grim, deflected the ordinary bullet, his eyes cold and sharp, and wisely retreated to a safe distance.

If it weren't for the fact that his only concern was in the hands of the other party, the Lord Bishop had been almost unthreatened for over 500 years, would definitely have sent these three rats to the Imperial Laboratory as research material.

[Gray Serpent] gracefully twirled his pistol, and amidst Otto's gloomy expression, injected a purplish-red syringe into Theresa's delicate neck.

Hard, purplish-red crystals gradually squeezed out from the girl's flesh, and dark red patterns quickly spread all over her body.

Apocalypse Virus! And people connected to Toko City!

When Otto saw his granddaughter Theresa frowning in Affliction, his heart clenched, and he instinctively wanted to rush forward and snatch her away.

However, after doing all this, the [Gray Serpent] actually took the initiative to send Theresa, whose skin had crystallized by one-fifth, into Otto's arms.

"Actually, I hate violence the most..."

"Look, you insisted on forcing me to give you all a limited time to evacuate. You only have 3 hours left. I left the inhibitor in the Bishop's Hall. You still have time to leave..."

As Otto's eyes flickered, Gray Serpent's voice carried a strangely eerie quality.

"Your Lord Bishop, when you deliberately leaked the news of the campaign against Anti-Entropy, shouldn't you have worried about your empty homeland?"

At this moment, Otto's eyes sharpened, and he raised his arm to stop the Valkyrie from rushing forward. He then carried Theresa to the elevator that had been lowered from the Floating Battleship.

To be fair, the current [Anti-Entropy] is enough to make His Lord Bishop even more wary and eager to eliminate it.

While Theresa's safety was not enough to sway his resolve, the things on the Floating Island were a different story.

There was his spare body, the secrets of the [Schicksal] core, and even a large amount of experimental data on the resurrection of Kallen.

Furthermore, regarding the Apocalypse Virus from the [Origin Stone], the Floating Island is also equipped with inhibitors developed by the Imperial Laboratory.

The automatic defense system of the Schicksal Floating Island is indeed an impenetrable fortress, but the intelligent program loaded on this Floating Battleship is a simplified version of the Floating Island's Super AI.

Since this husky can control the entire Floating Battleship silently, it proves that she is not only extremely familiar with the Floating Island program, but also poses a significant threat.

Moreover, that temperamental "Ai" dared to question his decision, so the Lord Bishop, who liked to control everything, left behind the highest command to restrict the AI's permissions before leaving.

Currently, the Floating Island are at their weakest point in terms of defense, and the possibility of invasion and destruction is greatly amplified.

"See a visitor out..."

[Gray Serpent] casually waved his hand, signaling [Husky] beside him to relinquish control of the Floating Battleship, and then watched the group of uninvited guests return.

"Phew, they're finally gone..." Welt, who had been holding out to protect the three, breathed a sigh of relief as the powerful enemy withdrew. He leaned against the wooden stake behind him and collapsed to the ground.

"Thank you... Where are Tesla and Aiyin? Let's meet up first and then talk more..."

[Gray Serpent] sat down next to Welt, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath the mask.

"Unfortunately, they are either en route to the Tokyo area or trapped inside the base where the defense system is malfunctioning..."

"As for thank you, that's unnecessary. We charge for our help..."

"This price is only affordable for you..."

Immediately, Welt, whose mind had relaxed, realized something was wrong with the [Gray Serpent's ] words, but as the crimson feather pierced the back of his head, everything went black.

I'll accept that thing you're wearing.

Goodnight, Lord Alliance Leader...

[Gray Serpent] hoisted Welt onto his back, nodded to the other two, and gradually disappeared into the shadows of the forest.

Chapter 377, Section 395: The Temporary Leader of Anti-Entropy

Schicksal, the Floating Island, and the autonomous weapons have all been destroyed. The once metallic steel fortress now appears desolate and dilapidated.

"Bang!"

In the center of the Bishop's Hall, Otto smashed a table in half with a single punch; his so-called elegance vanished completely after assessing the damage.

The Schicksal Headquarters, which has been painstakingly built up over many years, is now basically paralyzed in terms of all its intelligent systems, and most of its top-secret data shows signs of being copied.

Moreover, before leaving, the three rats actually uploaded Electronic Virus.

At this moment, Otto leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his temples, preparing to quiet down for a moment and calm his mind.

However, in the blink of an eye, he found that feather-like purplish-red crystals were gradually emerging from his arm, which was resting on the sofa, and were continuously extending upwards.

"Oops, I forgot to tell you, I modified the Apocalypse Virus on Theresa. Direct contact with her hands will cause infection..."

"But don't worry, I've already injected the inhibitor beforehand..."

The miniature computer in the room turned on automatically, projecting the image of the silver-masked man in a mocking tone that was irritating.

"Boom!"

Otto smashed the microcomputer with a grim expression, but at that moment the Floating Island shook violently, and cracks more than ten meters deep appeared in many places.

Just how much stuff did that bastard bury on the island?! He can't go anywhere until the Floating Island is cleared out, otherwise the fall of headquarters will be a huge blow to his prestige.
