In Honkai, I Only Love Valkyries

Wight looked at Otto. He always felt as though he had seen this man somewhere before. Sure enough, he must have been some member of Anti-Entropy.

Today, Cocolia had asked him, the great Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy, to personally retrieve Raiden Mei. Herrschers were drawn to one another, yet he had failed to find Raiden Mei. Instead, he had found the two people who had taken her away.

Whatever. It was all the same anyway.

"This Alliance Leader asks you: why did Tesla interfere with this Alliance Leader's plan?"

This Alliance Leader?

Did this guy not know he was actually a clone created by that woman Cocolia?

You're just a puppet Cocolia made!

Of course, Otto would not say that.

"Lady Tesla did not interfere with your plan."

Otto said tentatively. He felt that this idiot Wight seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Hmph. Then why did Tesla send you to take Raiden Mei away? Hand Raiden Mei over now, and perhaps this Alliance Leader can forgive your disrespect."

Otto froze for a moment after hearing that.

I'm one of Tesla's people?

How come I didn't know that?

Otto's eyelid twitched, while Kiana also looked at Otto curiously.

The two of them knew each other?

But Otto's mind was already racing as he asked in confusion.

"Alliance Leader, I know you are omnipotent, but how did you know..."

"That I was sent by Lady Tesla?"

"Does Cocolia know about this?"

"Hmph. There is nothing in Anti-Entropy that can be hidden from this Alliance Leader." Wight snorted. In truth, Cocolia had told him this. "Under this Alliance Leader's guidance, Cocolia has also come to understand everything."

Oh, Cocolia also thinks I'm with Anti-Entropy. Then that's fine.

Interesting.

A smile curled at Otto's lips.

"Ah!"

A remorseful expression suddenly appeared on his face. "Why did you tell Cocolia?! You've made all of Lady Tesla's efforts go to waste!"

"Lady Tesla was clearly the one most loyal to you!"

A plan took shape in Otto's mind.

"Absurd! If Tesla is most loyal to me, then why did she send someone to interfere with my plan?! Are you trying to deceive me?!"

Wight was arrogant and proud, and what he hated most was being deceived. But before he could erupt, Otto hurriedly spoke.

"Respected Alliance Leader, may I ask: was making Raiden Mei the Third Herrscher your plan, or that woman Cocolia's?"

Wight frowned. He remembered that this seemed to be a plan Cocolia had proposed.

"But I also agreed to Cocolia's plan. Why did you stop it? Are you disregarding my words?"

"No! Alliance Leader, Lady Tesla wanted to stop Cocolia's plan only because Cocolia was trying to harm you!"

Hearing Otto's words, Wight frowned. His face turned frosty, and his formerly flippant expression darkened.

"Are you slandering Cocolia?"

How could Cocolia possibly wish him harm? He had seen her respect for him with his own eyes.

Whatever he wanted, she would give it to him. She even often came to pay her respects.

On the other hand, Tesla and Einstein had never come to pay their respects!

Did they even have this Alliance Leader in their eyes?!

Who was loyal and who was treacherous—he, Wight, the Herrscher of Reason, had seen it all!

"Do you know what Cocolia's position in Anti-Entropy is?"

Seeing Wight like this, Otto could tell at a glance that he was someone easily swayed by emotion. He could not help but feel puzzled. Joyce had clearly been brilliantly intelligent—even the original Otto had been wary of him—so why was his clone as stupid as a pig?

"Isn't she just an executor?"

Wight frowned.

"No, respected Alliance Leader, you may not know this, but Cocolia's position in Anti-Entropy is..."

"Acting Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy."

Wight crossed his arms, his brows furrowing. Wise as he was, he smelled something amiss.

Otto continued.

"But you are clearly right here!"

"You were clearly standing right in front of us, yet you weren't sitting in the Alliance Leader's seat. Instead, that woman Cocolia was the one giving orders."

Otto spread his hands.

"Please think carefully."

"Wasn't it always the case that, no matter what happened, she acted first and reported afterward? No, perhaps she never sought your approval for anything, large or small, and simply acted on her own."

"Even this time, she actually had someone as noble as you doing the kind of work servants do—searching for people."

"Summoned at will, dismissed at will."

"Cocolia truly hasn't put you in her eyes."

How Much Was He Worth?

Otto bore no ill will toward Wight.

Unlike in many Honkai fanfictions, he had no intention of killing Wight right away.

Killing Wight would merely add another piece of combustible trash to the world. Otto felt that, at least for now, he could still be put to use.

Therefore, Otto wanted to push Wight into the position of Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy.

Surely, that would be quite interesting.

At the very least, it could disgust Old Yang and the people of Anti-Entropy. Even if it failed, Otto would suffer no losses whatsoever.

It was only natural for Schicksal to cause trouble for Anti-Entropy.

Besides, the only one who would die in the end would be Wight.

If things were handled well, perhaps Welt Yang could be turned into a so-called substitute.

When he emerged from St. Freya Academy and returned to Anti-Entropy, only to see someone else sitting in the Alliance Leader's seat, his expression would surely be spectacular.

And Schicksal would much rather have Wight become the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy. Wouldn't Anti-Entropy then be at their mercy?

Wight's face darkened at that moment. He, too, realized that something was wrong with Cocolia.

He was clearly the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy, so why was Cocolia the one relaying everything to him? Was he the Alliance Leader, or was she?

Only he could give her orders. There was no reason she should be able to command him.

Wight felt that his authority had been offended.

"Are your words true?"

Wight asked with a frown.

"Cocolia did this without fearing my wrath?"

He was the invincible Herrscher of Reason!

He possessed an undefeated, immortal body!

"Honored Alliance Leader, Cocolia truly isn't afraid."

Otto replied with a smile. Wight looked at him, signaling for him to continue.

"Cocolia's Changkong City plan this time was meant to create the Third Herrscher, then seize the Herrscher Gem."

"You may be mighty in battle, but if you face a Herrscher and are struck by a despicable ambush, you may find yourself at a disadvantage."

"Furthermore, she has already planted something in you."

"Planted something? Explain." Wight also realized what was wrong. If Cocolia truly had control over a Herrscher, then if he remained as unaware as before and was ambushed, it would indeed be extremely troublesome.

His expression was gloomy. No one would feel good about being deceived, much less someone as proud and arrogant as Wight.

Wight already wanted to return and confront Cocolia. If that was truly the case, he would teach her a lesson.

"Doesn't Cocolia examine your body frequently?"

Otto asked, and Wight nodded.

That was only natural. Wight was a clone, and Cocolia's technology was not yet mature, so he needed frequent examinations and maintenance to prevent him from suddenly dying.

"Cocolia actually planted something like a bomb inside your body. That is precisely why Lady Tesla and the others were unable to directly tell you about Cocolia's wolfish ambitions."

"A bomb!?"

Wight pressed a hand to his chest. He remembered how Cocolia had him undergo examinations every few days.

He had originally thought she was simply concerned about him, the Alliance Leader.

But!

Thinking about it carefully now, he was the Herrscher of Reason, invincible beneath the heavens!

He had no need for such pointless examinations at all.

Could it be that Cocolia had been using the Alliance Leader as an experiment?

Damn it!

Cocolia, you deserve to die!

Rage burned within Wight. The ground beneath his feet cracked as his eyes bulged wide. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to go back and kill Cocolia.

"Respected Alliance Leader, please calm your anger for now. We have yet to gather enough leverage to stand against Cocolia."

"Lady Tesla is your eternally loyal subordinate. She will overthrow Cocolia and restore you to the position of Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy."

"Then, you will rule over the world."

Otto said with a smile, but Wight's fury did not lessen in the slightest.

"I can't wait! I'm going to kill Cocolia right now!"

Wow, what a brainless brute.

But that was precisely what made him easy to control. Cocolia had clearly chosen Wight with that in mind.

"But if she decides to take you down with her, are you willing to die alongside her?"

"Then what am I supposed to do?!"

Wight was deeply agitated. Cocolia had conducted so many examinations on him; that woman truly might have planted some hidden trick in his body.

Was he really going to remain at someone else's mercy like this?

He was so irritated that he even wanted to smash everything around him.

"Please wait patiently. Lady Tesla will welcome you back."

Otto never let Tesla leave his words. Even if Cocolia discovered that someone was plotting against her, she would only trace it back to Tesla.

Whatever Tesla did had nothing to do with me, the Bishop of Schicksal.

"However, that woman Cocolia is full of schemes. To bring her down, we will need cooperation from both inside and outside, pincering her from two sides and bringing her under control."

"Get to the point," Wight, whose brain did not work very well, said.

"If possible, I hope that when the time comes, you can relay information to us from Cocolia's side. Only then can we bring down Cocolia and return you to the position of Alliance Leader."
