Shub clicked her tongue in annoyance and spat the fruit peel onto the hallway.

Then, the situation changed drastically midway through, with the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy Welt, the Joker, and the Shenzhou girl who could cleave the heavens with a single punch joining forces to suppress the Second Herrscher.

At the moment when they should have eliminated the threat completely, the clown suddenly betrayed them, severely injuring the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy and manipulating Sirin through special means, resulting in a complete reversal of events.

Wait, that figure looks familiar...

Shub's mind flashed back to a meeting with someone on the Floating Battleship, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, something even more unexpected happened: as Sirin went berserk, the Joker actually pulled Theresa and Siegfried back from the Spatial Rift.

At the last moment, the Joker actually used the red feather to force Siegfried and Sirin to kill each other.

The scene then shifts to the footage of the Super AI Red Queen, who was now only half-dead. Someone had retrieved her from the Ruins and recovered her crucial data.

Your Lord Bishop, you were clearly lurking nearby, yet you stood idly by and watched us and the Second Herrscher fight to the death.

Even after taking action, you not only protected Sirin but also used Siegfried as a pawn. Later, you used Patrick to lure out Welt, who was wholeheartedly cooperating with you. What exactly are we, the Snow Wolf Squad, in your eyes?

Shub gnawed the apple until it was cored, her rebellious emotions reaching their peak.

When she opened the third item, the top-secret document of the [Sirin Project] was exposed before her eyes. After roughly understanding its contents, Shub stood up in anger.

So it turns out that forcing Sirin to rebel, using the Second Herrscher to eliminate the Snow Wolf Squad, and dismantling the Saintess and Knight Family were all because of you!

Now, are you even going to touch the company commander's daughter?

Send Kiana to an institution like the Babylon Laboratory to torture her and turn her into the next "Sirin"?

That's going too far, Otto!

When Shub scrolled to the end of the document and saw the added line at the end, she hesitated for a moment, her fingertip touching the wolf head badge on her chest, before finally nodding decisively and pressing the confirm button.

"Like Lone Wolf, fearless and undaunted, gazing into the abyss, hunting gods!"

We are not subservient dogs that wag their tails and beg for mercy; we are wolves that dare to hunt down gods!

At the same time, a similar thing happened to the other members of the Snow Wolf Squad; they all made the same choice without prior agreement.

Even though the king is gone, a wolf is still a wolf!

Okay, Captain, I take back what I said before. Your taste in men is passable; you have the blood of a wolf in your veins, so it's worth a gamble...

Shub recalled the holster that had been revealed when the man bent down to pick up the Red Queen at the Babylon Tower, and couldn't help but tap her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Yellowstone District, USA.

Kevin unholstered his gun, drew the full-size version of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, listened to the replies, and calmly raised his glass to the bright moon outside the window.

"I've waited long enough, let's begin."

At that moment, at the round table behind Kevin, one virtual figure after another nodded and went to carry out their orders.

In the [Sirin Project], the secret to dismantling the Saintess and the Knight Family was naturally not mentioned. Kevin simply made the content seven parts true and three parts false, and successfully threw all the mud at Otto.

After so much planning, it's almost time to wrap things up, and everything is currently under control.

The only regret is that Siegfried lost all his fighting spirit after Cecilia's death.

This man had lived in Otto's shadow for too long, lacking the courage and determination of a wolf, and only knowing how to run away. Perhaps this was one of the reasons he brought about the tragedy.

Therefore, Kevin never revealed his plan to Siegfried, but merely used his identity to gather the potential power of the Saintess and the Knight Family in order to support his own plans.

Meanwhile, the storm first swept through the financial markets, with the stocks of many obscure, old family businesses in Europe experiencing rollercoaster-like fluctuations. Large-scale buying and selling caused wavering investors to hastily withdraw from this turbulent game.

Those who pay close attention have long noticed that these ancient family businesses are basically loyal supporters of [Schicksal].

Although these long-established families have substantial capital and a rich history, the decline of European hegemony in recent years has also severely impacted their capital markets.

The White Eagle's frenzied expansion across the world not only established a new order but also shaped Wall Street into the mind of the financial world.

Even the once-glorious British Empire has now played the Brexit game, recognizing its true identity as a younger brother.

In the world of gambling, how could those old aristocrats, clinging to outdated ideas, possibly compete with [Anti-Entropy] and the Wall Street traders under the SCP Foundation?

Therefore, in just four or five hours, nearly half of the old European nobles collectively agreed to line up to jump off the building, marveling at the wind on the rooftop, which was quite noisy.

For a time, panic gripped the people. Those who had originally planned to form an alliance under the Lord Bishop's instructions all backed out and secretly withdrew their investments to cut their losses.

As a result of the chain reaction, the European financial market experienced a collapse. The secret institutions supported by those old noble families were immediately frozen, unable to operate, and even the land of their European branches faced the risk of being pledged.

At the same time, bad news followed one after another.

Although the South American branch, which is already an underdeveloped region, did not participate in the capital game, the governments of various countries still received a warm greeting from their White Eagle father.

Beneath the intense bond of parent-child affection, the America backyard fully revealed its sinister nature, beginning to change its face towards the South American branch.

There were all sorts of gang disturbances, corrupt police officers trying to extort money from customers, and even petty theft.

The Far East Branch, located right next to the two giants ME Company and Gofuin, was in an even more dire situation, almost having to pawn even its underwear.

I reckon by tomorrow morning, they won't even have enough money for daily expenses. Even Valkyrie needs to eat.

The Floating Island of Schicksal, the Bishop's Hall.

Upon hearing the devastating news, Otto crushed the glass in his hand, the crimson liquid splattering onto his hand-tailored suit, leaving a glaring stain.

However, the Lord Bishop, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, had no time to pay attention to the flaws before him. He reached out and snatched the document from Amber's hand, quickly scanning it, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

Is this the counterattack of [Anti-Entropy]? Who would have thought that a moment of carelessness on the Siberian Plain would actually lead to such a serious problem!

The power of capital is truly terrifying. And [Anti-Entropy], which has allied with this US president, has almost dismantled nearly half of the families under his control after it manipulated the financial market.

These were the foundations that [Schicksal] had built over a century, and almost all of them vanished overnight!

Lord Otto, times have changed...

In the darkness, the chess player muttered to himself, "The game has only just begun."

P. S.: I think I understand why Siegfried didn't dare to save his own daughter. Otto was a shadow in his heart, and he didn't dare to resist at all.

For example, when he first met Cecilia in the Denmark town, his first thought was not to help her escape her misery or how to betray Schicksal, but rather to join Schicksal and let Otto control her.

Chapter 380, Let's Crossdress, Lord Otto! (Third Update)

"Warning! Warning! They're coming again!"

At the Far East Branch, the Valkyrie, their faces pale, gathered shoulder to shoulder in the hall. The group they regarded as a monstrous threat turned out to be a group of police officers and lawyers wearing epaulets.

Previously, after they presented the court's judgment on the liquidation and mortgage of assets, the Valkyrie suddenly realized that their home base had gone bankrupt due to insolvency...

Shigure Kira, the only one in the branch who has the authority to make decisions, is still in the Far East, guarding Siberia.

Although they had notified me, that old lady was very straightforward: paying back debts is a matter of course, and I don't rely on that salary to make a living anyway.

Oh, this lady, thanks to her Valkyrie status, even dabbled in the entertainment industry; she's the kind of rich woman.

But the problem is, you don't care about salary, but we do...

The temporary person in charge was at a loss for words, and had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask the Schicksal Headquarters for help.

However, headquarters was in an even more precarious situation, with a mountain of problems to deal with and no time to care about the fate of the Far East Branch.

His Lord Bishop even encouraged them to find their own way to earn money. The problem is that these Valkyrie, who were raised by Schicksal from childhood, are not exactly pampered, but they will never be able to work normally in their lives. They can only make a living by receiving funding from above.

Even those long-time sugar daddies have all gone offline, what are they going to do? Go into prostitution?

Therefore, the Valkyrie, who possessed even a modicum of self-respect, had no choice but to submit to the judicial authorities.

As a result, in less than half an hour, the huge Far East Branch was almost emptied out, and the Valkyrie who had lived there for a long time felt their hearts bleed.

The same disastrous problems unfolded one after another in each branch.

In South America, the backyard of the White Eagle, governments around the world resorted to underhanded tactics like cutting off power to show their loyalty to their "father."

Shub stayed in her room, crossed her legs, and comfortably munched on an apple, too lazy to even bother with the report, essentially slacking off.

Within half a day, the Schicksal Headquarters lost contact with its major branches.

Many countries even broke the agreement and refused to allow the Schicksal to be stationed there.

Compared to an organization that constantly demands protection money, [Anti-Entropy], which is willing to provide funds and technology, is much more compliant.

Only when you have control over force can you sleep soundly.

At this moment, Lord Otto at the Schicksal Headquarters suddenly realized what it meant to be an enemy of the whole world.

However, he was already too busy to deal with the situation, because the Apocalypse Virus within him was constantly evolving and remained as persistent as a leech, impossible to eradicate.

Worse still, this thing not only causes physical mutations, but it also seems to accelerate the aging of the soul!

He tried many methods, but all of them failed.

Therefore, Bishop Otto, who had no time to spare, sent his recovered granddaughter Theresa to Heimdall Laboratory to supervise the scientists in developing an antidote as quickly as possible, based on the ingredients of the [Origin Stone].

As he stood up, he coughed violently, and purplish-red crystals appeared on his skin, even the blood froth had a strange granular texture.

"Amber, get my body ready. I demand to personally convene this joint meeting!"

Otto's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he prepared to take drastic measures to intimidate the group of disobedient government leaders.

At this moment, Amber looked troubled. After wiping the blood from the Lord Bishop's mouth, she earnestly reminded him.

"Your Lord Bishop, only number 0 is left..."

Upon hearing this, Otto looked as if he had swallowed a fly; his handsome face contorted in pain, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Humiliation! Utter humiliation!

In fact, he used genetic technology to prepare more than one body for himself.

As he prepared to transfer his soul, he became more cautious and, upon closer inspection, discovered that these backup bodies had been injected with an even more potent virus.

His gene pool was completely deleted, and his samples were contaminated...

It will take at least ten days to two weeks to recover.

Before leaving, the man did indeed leave behind an uncontaminated body, but to Otto, this act felt more like a mockery.

Because the body had been changed to a different gender; it was now a woman...

Therefore, even though supporting this body was quite a struggle, Otto still refused to be humiliated as a woman.

"Are you sure you want to use it?" Amber asked respectfully.

"Go quickly!" The situation is urgent. If morale is not stabilized, even the remaining half of the supporters might scatter like birds and beasts. Otto was quite certain of this.

Therefore, the decisive Lord Bishop made a wise choice, but his teeth were chattering and his expression was even somewhat ferocious.

Amber picked up the tray and covered Otto, who was barely suppressing his poison and anger, with the silk quilt. But as she reached the door, the Valkyrie seemed to remember something and turned her head in confusion to ask.

"Lord Otto, what style of women's clothing do you prefer?"

"Roll!"

This unexpected, albeit clumsy, finishing blow caused Otto, who had been gradually calming down, to cough up a mouthful of blood. The blood immediately congealed into purplish-red viral crystals upon hitting the ground.

After being scolded, Amber obediently closed the door and stood in the corridor, lost in thought for a long time.

What to do? Should I just grab anything from Lord Otto's wardrobe?

Wait, I remember there was a really pretty green dress in His Lord Bishop's wardrobe, and he seemed to cherish it. Was that the one?

For some reason, Amber, holding the tray, was actually looking forward to seeing Lord Otto in a dress; she felt as if she were fulfilling a sacred mission.

Meanwhile, far away in Heimdall Laboratory, Theresa hesitated for a moment before finally inserting a black chip into the main control computer, and a sharp, urgent alarm sounded.

"That's... the Anti-Entropy mech force!"

"Unable to contact headquarters, signal cut off!"

The researchers, gazing at the row of heavily armored mechs airdropped onto the snow, swallowed hard and turned to Valkyrie Theresa for help.

Theresa gave the group a reassuring look, then strode confidently toward the Heimdall Institute.

Ten seconds later, the group of snow-clad combat suit soldiers following behind the mechs flanked them from both sides. The A2, fully encased in armor, emerged from the center of the formation, displaying a string of bracelets.

The battle then began. After confirming that she was out of surveillance, Theresa decisively fell to the ground in a football-like pose. After being captured, she whispered in A2's ear.

"The Key of Blank is at the very bottom; the password is held by the director of the weapons development department, the one with the baldest head..."

"The Origin Stone has fallen into the hands of an old lady at the Department of Energy; she wears glasses, so she's easy to recognize..."

A2 twitched his lips and ordered his YoRHa Unit to use the virus to open the blast door, while carrying the "hostage" to clear the way.
