In Honkai, I Only Love Valkyries

But the next moment, she found herself unable to control her body. It wasn't that Mei had taken back control.

It was...

Otto was holding Miss Lightning Herrscher's foot. He wasn't too panicked, as there was a way to fix this.

However, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere of Miss Lightning Herrscher before him was a bit off.

Her originally violent, scarlet eyes had become as calm as stagnant water.

Something was very wrong.

Otto stared at the scarlet color and found that he couldn't see any emotion within those eyes, as if there wasn't a trace of human emotion.

She knew neither joy nor sorrow, nor hatred or disgust; everything seemed incredibly hollow.

This was wrong.

Because even Herrscher personalities had human emotions. In fact, due to Honkai corruption, negative emotions were often amplified.

"Who... are you?"

She spoke.

[Outsider, your journey ends here.]

[The will of Honkai shall terminate the presumption of the Child of Man.]

Chapter 30: Disconnect and Flee

The Will of the Heavens...

No!

That's from a different show. The Herrscher in the current Honkai show hasn't finished her shift yet!

Otto subconsciously let go of Mei's foot. He looked at the girl before him. Although she still had Mei's beautiful face, there was an unfamiliar presence inside.

It wasn't Mei, and it wasn't Mei's Herrscher personality.

It was something far worse.

"Are you... the will of Honkai?"

Otto felt as if he were facing a great enemy. He retreated a step with difficulty. He had heard what she said.

And it wasn't just the phrase "will of Honkai" that he noticed; he also noticed how she addressed him.

Outsider.

Had his transmigration disguise been blown already?

Wasn't this supposed to be the simplest Changkong City dungeon? Why was the final boss, the will of Honkai, coming to the newbie village to kill him?

"System, System!? Why does the will of Honkai know I'm a transmigrator!?"

Otto frantically questioned the System in his mind, but although the System panel was still controllable, the System remained silent.

The damn System was playing dead.

Good grief, it could go all out against Raven, but when the will of Honkai showed up, it just played dead. What a system, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Will of Honkai, are you here to kill this Bishop?"

"Are you going to kill me, the only one in this civilization era who can possibly defeat you?"

Otto clasped his hands behind his back, a mask of pretense on his face. He kept telling himself in his heart that he was Bishop Otto.

I am Otto Apocalypse.

No one understands bluffing better than I do.

And the will of Honkai, wearing Mei's skin, simply watched Otto silently, showing no joy or anger, no sorrow or hatred, like a robot devoid of emotion.

[Honkai is a trial for civilizations upon the tree.]

The will of Honkai said it simply.

Otto suddenly understood. His identity as a transmigrator had clearly been discovered by the will of Honkai.

And the reason she wanted to eliminate him was simple: he was an anomaly in this world.

Even Fu Hua, who was from the previous era and helped Shenzhou develop its civilization thousands of years ago, was met with the will of Honkai sending down the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You.

Otto, being someone who didn't belong to this world and interfered with the civilization's trial, was essentially like someone hiring a proxy for an exam.

The will of Honkai, the invigilator, was going to personally escort him out.

"I promise I won't interfere with this world's affairs. I'll find a place to hide and be an ostrich immediately. Will that do?"

"If that doesn't work, you can turn me into a Herrscher, and I'll destroy this civilization. I definitely won't be a double agent, and I can even keep all the other Herrschers in line for you."

Otto immediately raised both hands and performed a French salute.

There was no other way. The final boss he had planned for had shown up to apprehend him directly. How could he fight this? He wasn't prepared at all. Even bringing all of Schicksal into the battlefield would be useless.

Now, Otto couldn't care about anything else. To survive, he was willing to do many things.

Right now, nothing was more important than staying alive.

For this reason, it would be acceptable even to become a lapdog of the Honkai.

However, faced with Otto's words, the Honkai Will, a ruthless entity that wasted no time with pleasantries, directly raised the Judgement of Shamash in its hand and slashed at Otto.

Otto, seeing the blade that had almost transformed into a bolt of lightning, decided to take a gamble and operated something on the System panel.

He chose to unequip the Judgement of Shamash.

Anything the System drew could be unequipped, and the weapon would return to the System's inventory.

This was the same trick Otto had pulled on Raiden Mei before.

But Otto didn't know if the Judgement of Shamash, held in the Honkai Will's hand, could actually be unequipped.

You damn System, don't let me down!

"Disarm!"

The Judgement of Shamash was unequipped.

The Judgement of Shamash in the Honkai Will's hand vanished.

It looked at its empty right hand, then raised its head and looked at Otto.

It said nothing, its eyes showing no fluctuation.

With the Judgement of Shamash gone, the electromagnetic force the Herrscher personality had used to isolate the Honkai Will was no longer affected. The Honkai Will gradually lost control of the physical body.

The Third Herrscher...

Even though the Third Herrscher wasn't betraying the Honkai now, being treated like this made the Honkai Will feel that betrayal wasn't far off.

Seriously, only the Second Herrscher in this era is doing any real work.

"What? Not going to kill me anymore?"

"I, Otto, am standing right here for you to kill."

"Please~"

Otto looked at the Honkai Will standing motionless. After he had recalled the Judgement of Shamash to his inventory, it had stopped moving, like a robot without a battery.

He wanted to spew more trash talk while he was still alive.

The Honkai Will looked at Otto with its hollow eyes.

It opened its mouth.

But nothing came out.

Madness surged back into its crimson eyes, the Honkai Will disconnected, and the Lightning Queen came back online.

Faint electrical currents swirled around her long hair. Miss Raiden looked at Otto before her. Beneath her torn clothes, the Stigmata on her waist flickered.

"Heh, interesting."

The Lightning Queen crossed her arms, leaning back slightly. As an Apostle of God, no one understood the concept of Honkai better than she did.

A mere mortal in her eyes dared to defy a god.

It was rather interesting.

She was becoming more and more conquerable.

Seeing this, Otto breathed a sigh of relief. The Honkai Will was offline now?

So its appearance was related to the Judgement of Shamash?

Looks like I can't let Raiden Mei get her hands on the Judgement of Shamash in the future.

But the days ahead won't be peaceful. The Honkai Will has clearly set its sights on me. As long as I'm still in this world, I don't think it will let me go.

But if I do nothing and wait for the Herrscher of the End to arrive and destroy this world, I won't survive either.

Death is inevitable, so I'll choose the only path with a sliver of hope.

That is, to defeat the Honkai.

"I admire your courage. You did well. After all, only I can take your life."

Although Miss Raiden couldn't control her body earlier, she had witnessed the entire process. However, lacking key information, she didn't know the man before her was a transmigrator.

Miss Raiden raised her right hand, lightning coursing through it. She hooked Otto's chin.

"Come, raise your hands to me, just like you did earlier."

However, Otto only frowned. Having narrowly escaped death, his mind was highly focused. He noticed that although Miss Raiden's hand had electricity, he only felt a slight itch, not the previously unbearable stinging pain.

Furthermore, the electricity on Miss Raiden was noticeably weaker.

Could it be that the power wasn't from Miss Raiden, but from the Judgement of Shamash?

Otto grabbed Miss Raiden's hand. Miss Raiden frowned, a purple light flaring around her, and the lightning struck Otto directly.

"It just tickles a bit."

Otto took the attack head-on, but it didn't break his defense.

Hmph, lightning element, single-handed sword, that's how ineffective it is.

Without the Judgement of Shamash, and lacking sufficient Honkai Energy, the Lightning Herrscher's attacks were utterly powerless.

Even Kevin, without Honkai Energy, was merely a super soldier.

The Lightning Herrscher's eyes widened as she too realized the problem. Otto grabbed her hands, lowered his head slightly, and spoke softly before her.

"Mischievous Herrscher."

His lips were almost touching the tip of her nose.

It was as if he were about to kiss her.

"Now, the attack and defense have been reversed."

"Heh..."

But before Otto could finish his laugh, the Lightning Herrscher rolled her eyes and her soft body collapsed into his arms.

The smart one chose to disconnect and flee.

The rest is up to you.

Silly girl.

Chapter 31: What Should We Name Our Child in the Future?

A cold blade pressed against her neck, drawing a shallow cut on the young girl's tender skin.

"Stay quiet in here. We'll let you go once your dad sends the money."

The masked villain said to the black-haired young girl.

The girl nodded timidly, her pair of watery violet eyes trembling, tears almost falling.

She was roughly thrown into a pitch-black, windowless room. Before the door was shut, she overheard the kidnappers talking.
