Otto is Bronya's backup plan.
Once Cocolia disappoints Bronya, she'll realize who she should choose. At that time, I'll gain an obedient subordinate.
Therefore, he now has even more reason to...
Tramp on Cocolia's arrangements and plans in Changkong City.
Chapter 22. Do you know Cecilia's pain?
A faint scent of Bronya still lingered in the room she had left.
After turning off the lights, Otto lay on the bed Bronya had occupied, but he was frowning.
"Raiden Mei."
Otto softly spoke Mei's name. Even though it was past three in the morning, Otto still wasn't sleepy.
He was like a child excited for a field trip the next day.
He looked at the system panel. He had completed his tasks last night, so the daily missions should have updated by now.
[Daily Missions]
[Make any Valkyrie call you "Dad" in front of someone else. Mission Reward: 100 Crystals. Mission Status: Incomplete.]
Otto: ...
He felt a bit accustomed to it. Otto wasn't that surprised, he just didn't expect to have to do it in front of others this time.
Currently, the only one who could be used as a mission tool was Kiana. But to make Kiana call him Dad, and in front of others...
He swallowed and chose to close his eyes and sleep. Dreams held everything.
However, he opened his eyes again not long after.
It wasn't that he thought of a way to make Kiana pant and call him Dad in public. His emerald eyes stared at the 300 Crystals and 450 Friendship Points on the system panel.
280 Crystals could be used for one standard supply draw, and 280 Friendship Points could be used for one friendship supply draw.
Right now, he could afford one of each.
If he could get a Herrscher Core, he'd be unstoppable.
Otto narrowed his eyes. He wasn't a man of indecision.
If not now, then when!
Draw!
[Congratulations on obtaining USP45!]
?
Otto looked at the small handgun that had appeared in his inventory. If he remembered correctly, wasn't this a trash weapon with only one star?
He had drawn from the friendship supply. The way to obtain Friendship Points was so mysterious, Otto thought the friendship supply should at least give him some surprises.
Now, there was a surprise, but not a single bit of joy.
Does this Lord Overseer need a USP45? I could have Schicksal send me tens of thousands with a single word, why would I need to draw from you, System???
Friendship supplies are all trash.
Otto had made his judgment.
His gaze shifted to the standard supply. Otto's heart suddenly tightened. He realized something was wrong.
The banner didn't indicate a guaranteed A-rank Valkyrie or a four-star Stigmata/weapon on a ten-pull!
"System, does this standard supply have a pity system?"
[Host, you can get a drop in one pull, why bother with pity?]
Heh, I like hearing that.
Without paying it too much mind, Otto gripped his dream in his hand. He was going to create a miracle with these 280 Crystals.
Otto unhesitatingly pressed the button for one supply draw.
The system panel's screen changed drastically. A Humo box, etched into his DNA, descended from the heavens. Then, before Otto's eyes, the Humo box exploded.
A purple light flashed!
Oooooohhhhhh!!!!
Otto leaned back in excitement, gasping for air!
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Stigmata "Cecilia Schariac - Middle".]
It's a Stigmata.
Otto's surprise was slightly dampened because he didn't know if there were any hidden catches with this Stigmata.
"System, how do I claim this Stigmata?"
"Don't tell me I have to turn Cecilia into a Stigmata?"
Cecilia was already dead.
It was likely that not even bones would remain.
[This System is equipped with a complete Stigmata terminal. Host, please rest assured, you do not need to do anything else in the real world.]
[Would you like to equip the Stigmata now?]
"What effects will equipping this Stigmata have?"
Otto asked, still uneasy, having been tricked once before.
[The most basic effect is to enhance your combat abilities. As for how much of the Stigmata's power you can unleash, it depends on your compatibility with it.]
"Can this Soul Steel body of mine use Stigmata?"
[This System will directly inscribe the Stigmata onto your soul, so there are no physical limitations. If you feel any discomfort, you can remove the Stigmata at any time after equipping it.]
"Alright, equip it then."
He had asked all he needed to. Otto lay on the bed, feeling that with a portion of Cecilia's power, his self-preservation abilities had significantly improved.
He really had struck it lucky.
But...
[This System will now inscribe the Stigmata for you. Please do not panic if anything happens next. Panicking will be useless anyway.]
Otto felt something was wrong.
[Stigmata inscription beginning.]
"Wait, I don't want to equip the Stigmata anymore."
Otto sensed danger, but it was too late.
A sharp pain shot through his head, his consciousness became muddled. Otto struggled to lift his hand, but his body felt like it wasn't his own. His head was heavy and groggy, and the hand he had raised soon fell back onto the bed.
"Are you ready?"
A man's voice echoed in his ear.
This voice sounded a bit familiar.
Otto opened his eyes. The blinding light before him made it almost impossible to open them. He struggled to look left and right, discovering he was lying on what looked like an operating table.
Then, he saw...
"I" standing beside the operating table.
Wait, why was there another "me" standing next to me?
Otto couldn't quite process it. He was clearly lying on the operating table, but how could there be an "Otto" in a white coat standing beside it?
A bad feeling began to stir within him.
Could it be... the "real Otto" himself!?
The ruthless, genuine "Lord Overseer Otto"!?
Had he been found out and was about to be dissected and studied by the real "Otto"!?
"Have you thought about what to name the child?"
However, in the next moment, the "Otto" in the white coat spoke in a very calm tone.
Child?
Lord Overseer Otto, are you going to put me inside a woman's body to have a child for you?
I can't do that.
But the next moment, Otto found his own mouth moving.
"Lord Overseer, not yet."
A gentle female voice came from Otto's current mouth.
Huh? Why did my voice change like this? It sounds quite nice, too.
"Is that so?" the white-coated Otto said. "This child will surely be as wonderful as you."
And then, Otto suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if someone was playfully kicking inside him.
What was going on?
"Lord Overseer, this child seems to be kicking me. She must really want to come out soon."
The gentle voice trembled slightly, yet it was filled with deep affection.
"It's about time. Cecilia, get ready."
"Thank you, Lord Overseer."
The white-haired Valkyrie lying on the operating table offered a beautiful, yet sorrowful smile. The radiance of motherhood made her appear incredibly beautiful.
At this point, Otto understood he was witnessing Cecilia's memory.
Could this be what they called Stigmata memory?
Damn it, why didn't the System say it would make me experience this, and it also said the host didn't need to do anything in the real world.
So this is the trick?
However, Otto couldn't do anything. Although he seemed to be experiencing it all firsthand, he could only watch through Cecilia's eyes, like watching a first-person movie.

Seriously, this feeling is too real, this pain...
Wait...
This scene...
Otto suddenly realized what memory this was.
No way...
The unbearable pain stimulated Otto's soul, as if it were tearing him apart. If he could move, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold back a scream.
What is filial piety? What is love?
Accompanied by Cecilia's cries, accompanied by pain that ordinary people couldn't bear, and also accompanied by the birth and cries of a new life.
Otto felt the greatness of maternal love and the weight of a new life.
Chapter 23: Quickly Experiencing the Feeling of Home
Waking up in the morning, Kiana opened her eyes and looked at the white ceiling.
Holding a soft pillow in her arms, lying on a soft bed that seemed to swallow her whole, Kiana rubbed her eyes, which still held a trace of sleepiness.
Sitting up from the bed, Kiana stretched. Her light pink pajamas lifted, revealing her cute and playful belly.
"It's eight o'clock..."
