A white-haired man and woman with strikingly similar features were squatting on the ground, playing Monopoly with great interest. When it was Kallen's turn, there were rustling footsteps outside the door.

The two exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, threw the Monopoly game props into the Spatial Rift. Kallen pulled out the mechanical keyboard from the corner and obediently knelt on it.

Kevin, on the other hand, skillfully scaled the wall and slipped into the neighboring courtyard, where he continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

Ada pushed open the door and entered. She glanced at the dusty trail left by the keyboard on the floor, secretly rolled her eyes, then pretended to be oblivious and waved to Kallen, who was looking at her pitifully.

"Go back and do your homework! If you play around again next time, you'll have to finish it on your knees!"

I love you, Ada!

The white-haired girl cheered and jumped for joy, rushing into Ada and giving her mother a warm kiss on the left cheek.

Before Ada could even react to her daughter's sneak attack and give her a few words of reprimand, the little girl grabbed her newly adopted fox and rushed to the study, her mind racing with ideas.

If she had come later, she could have reached the finish line after a couple more dice rolls.

This place is usually locked; people are only thrown inside to be punished when family rules are being enforced.

If I cause trouble again, can I continue playing games with that uncle next door? The PE teacher seems to have just been discharged from the hospital, and the playground has been renovated. Perhaps we should consider it?

At this moment, Ada was completely unaware that she, this troublemaker, had already developed the urge to commit a crime on her own initiative, and had even started plotting against the unfortunate physical education teacher.

Kevin watched the little brat Kallen go back into the house, raised his glass, winked at Ada with his left eye, and mouthed "Good afternoon."

The reformed female agent looked down at her friendly neighbor with a slight smile, then pulled open the balcony door and dragged a rectangular military green box onto the table.

Immediately, Ada opened the box and, in front of her neighbors, assembled a rocket launcher, not forgetting to stuff it with ammunition. She then hoisted the thing up and showed its dark muzzle to the courtyard house next door.

The woman behind the scope smiled radiantly, her lips moving as she offered a very warm greeting.

"Don't let me catch you!"

Yes, the scene before me is beautiful. Her smile is so pure and genuine, and she carries the weight of "truth" on her shoulders.

Seemingly worried about being investigated by the neighbors and warned about such disturbances, Ada hesitated for a moment, then abandoned the idea of having sex. After waving goodbye to her neighbor, she returned to her studio to continue working on her manuscript.

Sigh, women, they're clearly trying to create opportunities for me and my daughter to develop a relationship, yet they put on such a distant and unapproachable attitude, not being honest at all.

Kevin touched the large bump on his head that had just subsided, tilted his head back, and gulped down some cold tea, his thoughts wandering.

When Kevin was teaching at the St. Freya Academy, he occasionally heard Fu Hua mention that she had a place to stay in Canghai City, Shenzhou.

When someone showed interest, Fu Hua, who was tied up for a long time, gave Kevin a copy of the address and the key.

Battle of the South Sea, Kevin instinctively thought of this excellent hiding place and teleported there directly using the spatial coordinates.

As a result, by a twist of fate, he not only encountered the reformed Ada, but also bumped into a child named Kallen.

After being unjustly beaten up, a timely message from Hatsune Miku cleared up his doubts. Kevin then realized that he had unknowingly gained a daughter who was the reincarnation of Kallen, and her memories were returning. This was a little gift from fate.

After ten years apart, Ada's inherent pride naturally led her to shut Kevin out, especially since he was a scoundrel with a long list of scandals.

With no other option, Kevin had to settle down at Fu Hua's former residence as planned, and while he was at it, he wove a cage, waiting for some silly roe deer to stumble in.

Upon hearing the name "daughter... Kallen... "Kevin felt a strange mix of amusement and exasperation, which even overshadowed the joy of their reunion.

During their interaction, Kallen recounted her recent recurring dreams, and Kevin became even more certain that these dreams were Hatsune Miku.

However, he didn't dislike the gift. Being able to rescue Kallen from tragedy was a duty he owed to his descendants.

At that moment, the air seemed to distort slightly. Kevin glanced at the heart-shaped rocket launcher his neighbor had placed on the table next door, then got up and went into the inner room.

The Raven, having removed its Optical Camouflage, respectfully handed over the documents and then stood to one side, awaiting the Speaker's instructions.

For subordinates, knowing when to remain silent is a very pleasing trait. Kevin flipped through the documents and gained a general understanding of the current situation.

The Inquisition, under the Roman Papal Legion, appears to be making moves and has begun vying with the SCP Foundation for control over the containment of anomalous creatures.

In addition, it seems that His Eminence the Pope in the Vatican is currently searching for a holy site and preparing for Mass for ten thousand people; who knows what kind of trouble he's up to this time.

The Roman Papal Legion... Schicksal...

Kevin tapped the table lightly with his five fingers, gradually clarifying the relationship between the two parties. He estimated that "cooperation" was the most appropriate term to describe it.

The main influence of the Roman Papal Legion was distributed in Central and Western Europe, while the headquarters of the [Schicksal] was in Northern Europe, and the two did not conflict with each other.

In order to seek cooperation, the two sides naturally formed an alliance. When the Apocalypse family was in Schicksal, it took the initiative to accept the investiture of the Roman Papal Legion, and the person in power ruled the Nordic diocese as a bishop.

Their alliance is mainly reflected in two aspects.

First, to counter the expansion of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the Far East region and its Ecumenical Patriarch into Europe, and to spread the orthodox influence of the Roman Papal Legion.

The three houses of Schicksal, rooted in Northern Europe, have blocked the advance of the Orthodox Church. Their geographical location is both awkward and important. If they do not want to be attacked from both sides, they must side with one side.

As a ruthless warlord who seized the throne by killing his father and brother, Otto naturally would not refuse the papacy granted by the Pope. He used religious power to whitewash himself, secretly won over the nobility, and sidelined the monarch.

With the "Mandate of Schicksal" leading the charge, the Roman Papal Legion could preserve its strength—why not? The Pope at the time generously allocated large tracts of land for the "Schicksal" to establish its rule.

As a result, under Otto's painstaking management, the influence of [Schicksal] once expanded to the Siberia region.

This laid a solid foundation for the modern Mandate of Schicksal to dismantle the Soviet red regime, build the Babylon Laboratory, and control the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

Even now, the Orthodox Church is still struggling to breathe, forced to focus on missionary work and having little say in actual political and military affairs.

Because of this, the Mandate of Schicksal accomplished its task brilliantly, and the influence of the Roman Catholic Church reached its peak for a time. After dealing with its own people, these religious believers began to set their sights on two directions.

Indeed, the Holy City of Jerusalem and the undeveloped virgin Shenzhou in the East, along with the renowned Crusades, formed the basis for the second collaboration between the Roman Papal Legion and the Mandate of Schicksal.

The true Crusades were divided into two phases and two directions.

In the early period, there was the holy war between the Roman Papal Legion and the Islamic world, and in the later period, there was the conflict between the Mandate of Schicksal, which traveled from the Far East through the Kipchak Steppe, and the Ming Empire.

Chapter 659 (Section 689): Luring the Simp In to Kill Him

The element that can support this viewpoint is naturally the timing of the two phases of the Crusades.

The first phase of the Crusades was a series of famous religious military campaigns that lasted nearly 200 years, conducted with the permission of the Roman Catholic Pope, spanning from 1096 to 1291.

These were wars waged by Western European feudal lords and knights against the countries on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, under the pretext of reclaiming the lands invaded and occupied by Arab Muslims. There were a total of nine such wars.

These actions were basically carried out by Otto's ancestors and had little to do with His Lord Bishop, who was born in the 15th century.

However, it must be said that the successive heads of the Apokalypsis family were all talents who took the concept of "survival" to its extreme.

During the first phase of the nine Crusades, [Schicksal] consolidated its power by suppressing the Orthodox Church. It began to outwardly comply with the Crusades but inwardly defy them. While fighting against the Pope, it repeatedly took the opportunity to fish in the water and preserve its strength.

As a result, the Roman Papal Legion became mired in the Crusades, and the Catholic world suffered heavy losses over two hundred years. Even the wealthiest kingdoms were nearly wiped out due to massive reductions in their numbers.

Meanwhile, the self-preserving [Schicksal] grew rapidly during this period, extending its reach to Central and Western Europe, as well as the Far East region, and showing a strong momentum to march on Saint Peter's Basilica and command the Catholic world with the help of the Pope.

Unfortunately, due to the nine Crusades, the Pope's credibility and authority have become utterly tarnished.

Thus, the Schicksal abandoned its impulse to stab its elder brother in the back and continued to collect the tithes that only the Roman Papal Legion was entitled to, under the title of bishop.

More than two hundred years later, the "Mandate of Schicksal," which replaced the Roman Papal Legion as the main body of the Marco Polo, began to have the idea of spreading the glory of the Lord to the virgin land of Shenzhou, thanks to the praise of Marco Polo and other Traveler.

Therefore, the second phase of the Crusades began in earnest.

The result was obvious: faced with the mysterious Eastern power, the Valkyrie forces of [Schicksal], who had dominated Europe, suffered a collective defeat and experienced the harsh realities of life.

After the great victory on the Kipchak Steppe, the historian in charge of recording the battle, whether he was more artistic or had a wicked mind, left behind a painting called "The Painting of Immortal Vermillion Bird Breaking the Formation".

He not only faithfully recreated history, but also framed the faces of the Schicksal troops, which were swollen from being slapped, and repeatedly whipped their corpses.

Afterwards, Schicksal returned to their stronghold to lick their wounds. The Valkyrie forces that maintained their rule suffered heavy losses, and with the Black Death raging, they had no choice but to behave themselves and feign goodwill with the Roman Papal Legion.

Kallen's defection and Otto's patricide and brother-killing to seize power gave the Roman Papal Legion a much-needed breather.

However, Bishop Otto, who successfully cleansed his name, was even more difficult to deal with than his fathers. He was not only good at hiding, but also ruthless. His five hundred years of suppression almost drove the Roman Papal Legion to its knees.

Although the two sides fought back and forth for several rounds, there are no eternal enemies, nor are there eternal friends.

Driven by shared interests, it's clear that the SCP Foundation and its heretics are more detestable, especially the appearance of that Uriel, the Judgment Angel, which practically upended the very foundations of Catholicism...

Therefore, Kevin had no idea that the Roman Papal Legion would engage in these underhanded tactics.

However, what concerned him was that the Roman Papal Legion, which had been thoroughly defeated by Otto in the past, dared to challenge him this time, which meant they must have some backing.

Perhaps their trump cards are no less significant than those held by the Judgment Angel himself; this is something to be aware of.

Kevin tapped his pen, circled some suspicious recent activities of the Roman Papal Legion, and prepared to have Raven and the others investigate.

As for Schrodinger Company's internal affairs, he and Lufus had agreed beforehand that he would be given a year to purge dissidents; they could handle these trivial matters themselves.

In the event of Jenova's descent, the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses, and almost all of the Shinra Special Forces defected. Now, even Avalanche Organization and Thunder are his people, so the Schrodinger Company can't cause any trouble.

Kevin casually crossed out Schrodinger Company. As for the Avengers, who were now causing trouble again, he couldn't count on them at all; he'd be lucky if they didn't cause any more trouble.

Moreover, the Avengers may not necessarily like these outcasts who are SCP Foundation members. If they don't kick them when they're down, that would be a relatively conscientious humanitarian act.

As for Anti-Entropy, the news of former leader Welt's appearance in Shenzhou, China, was enough to annoy this woman. Moreover, after experiencing so much, Cocolia was no longer the obedient person she used to be.

In fact, the remaining problem is nothing more than [Schicksal] wanting to reconstruct St. Freya and using Kevin himself as a hostage to restrain the SCP Foundation.

Otto will then need to take advantage of this period of silence among the various factions to capture the Final Herrscher and fulfill his Kallen's wish.

Kevin popped a preserved plum candy into his mouth, grabbed the black and white chess pieces from the wooden box with his right hand, scattered them on the paulownia wood plate with interest, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"Speaker, shall we close the net?"

The Raven, clutching a file bag, inquired earnestly.

"Don't rush. What's bubbling up now are just small fry. Otto's legacy, built over five hundred years, is certainly more extensive than this. To truly eradicate St. Freya Academy, I need to be patient and wait..."

"This time, the enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows. We need to see things clearly enough before eliminating them completely. We're about to face threats from outer space, and I don't have time to waste on these cowardly rats."

Kevin gently rubbed his temples, his tone calm.

Raven, slightly puzzled, "Didn't we already capture Durandal and Rita, those traitors of the Immortal Blade?"

"With a little time and interrogation, we'll eventually find out the mastermind's whereabouts from them!"

Kevin chuckled, took the syringe out of his pocket, placed it on the table, and twirled it around before patiently explaining the reason to his subordinates.

Cha? You underestimate Otto too much. These two are clearly expendable pawns; they certainly won't get involved in deeper secrets.

From the appearance of the Fourth Generation Godslayer Armor and their forced program control, Kevin knew that it was virtually impossible to get answers from Durandal and Rita.

Moreover, judging others by one's own standards, it's not impossible to plant misleading information in Rita's or Durandal's minds and set traps.

If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Before everything is clear, it's better to remain still than to act.

Theresa and Siegfried Couple's reforms and reorganizations regarding Schicksal were too lenient; how can such things be done without bloodshed?

First, let the other side relax, then you'll have a chance to kill all those idiots who jump out!

Therefore, after realizing that there was no hope of finding Otto, Kevin chose to set up an energy field to block detection, pretend that he had been affected, and escape by taking the Final Herrscher.

He's not stupid. The moment the Fourth Generation Godslayer Armor appeared on the battlefield, he guessed that Otto was definitely not dead. How could he not be wary of the [God-Slaying Spear], a powerful weapon that Honkai energy?

So far, everything seems to be going smoothly. The other side has already started to take action, and it won't be long before the mastermind behind it all comes to light.

Given Otto's cautious nature, this process could have easily dragged on for several months, but he inadvertently gained an extra card that could significantly advance the game.

Kallen, come on, let your dad sell it once, he shouldn't mind, right?

Not saying anything means you agree, that's good...

Let's lure the simp in together and then kill him...

In the darkness, Kevin's smile was sinister, a strange curve forming at the corners of his mouth.

P. S.: This volume will end tomorrow.

Chapter 660, Section 690: Two Queen, Double the Joy

In an open space within a courtyard house in Canghai City, a white-haired girl with Void Spear on her left and mechanical wings on her right stared with her heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one gold. As she spread her arms, her voice was serene and aloof.

"Honkai, tell me, how can we eradicate humanity's evil..."

At this moment, a white-haired girl, seemingly a carbon copy of her, gracefully walked out of the house, a hint of playful banter in her eyes, before turning to face her old nemesis with a cold smile.

"Go home, wash up, and go to sleep. I'm the one who's Honkai!"

With identical clothes and similar appearances, it was difficult to distinguish between the two. The only difference was that the second girl had heterochromatic eyes, with gold on the left and blue on the right. The two seemed to be opposites in a mirror.

"Dude, look, she's bothering me again while I'm memorizing my lines! It's so annoying!"
