"This is the danger of Honkai, and it's precisely why I, Otto Apocalypse, must defeat Honkai."
Otto casually boosted his image, but the main reason he fought against Honkai was that Honkai refused to let him go.
Damn it, I didn't want to transmigrate, and now they not only refuse to give me household registration but also want to kill me, an undocumented person.
This is a case of the government oppressing the people, forcing them to rebel.
If we die today, we die. If we make a grand plan, we die too. Should I just wait to die?
No, this is awesome!
"Will... will I also turn into one of those monsters who disowns their family?"
No, you'll just turn into a Miss Electric Eel who can shock people just by sticking out her tongue.
If it weren't for his Soul Steel body, he probably wouldn't have been able to eat.
This made Otto a bit troubled about his future nights.
"I'm here, you'll be fine," Otto said gently. "I also hope you won't blame Kiana. She just lost control of her emotions for a moment. After all, she's only eight years old this year."
"It's okay, she didn't hit me."
Mei said, though she took the "eight years old this year" comment as Otto's joke.
With her slender waist, perky hips, and long legs, how could she possibly be eight years old?
"If you don't mind, then that's good. I don't want you to have any lingering resentment, as you'll be colleagues in the future."
"Colleagues?" Mei asked, confused.
Otto nodded.
"Yes, you will join my organization and become one of my Valkyries. Devote yourself to me, save the world, and defeat Honkai."
Otto extended his hand to Mei.
His words weren't asking for Mei's opinion, but stating a foregone conclusion.
"I told you, once you step onto my side, you can never live an ordinary life again."
"Although Senba Academy is temporarily suspended, I don't think you'll want to go back even if it reopens."
"Why not come to my side, serve me, and work for me?"
Otto said.
Mei looked at Otto's hand and reached out, clasping it.
"Mhm."
"I'll join."
Mei answered simply.
No need for further elaboration; this was a resolution she had made two days prior.
She had also resolved to fall in love with Mr. Otto and hand over the remote control that governed her to him.
However, she couldn't help but recall the scene of Kiana and Otto holding hands.
He held hands with me, said sweet nothings to me, even kissed me, and did so much with me. I'm practically going to be unable to get married.
But Mr. Otto...
Could he be a playboy?
Mei inexplicably felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, an emotion she had never experienced before.
The Lightning Herrscher, sensing Mei's emotions, sighed silently.
My silly little deer.
Your girlish thoughts like these will be my suffering in the end.
Forget it, I must endure. I don't have the power to resist yet.
"Welcome to Schicksal."
Otto said with a smile, but he noticed that the main quest for Schicksal to possess a Herrscher hadn't been completed, which made him sigh inwardly.
Although the Herrscher core in Mei's body had been preliminarily awakened, this didn't count. That meant he had to make the Lightning Herrscher, Miss Herrscher, join Schicksal after Mei had fully awakened.
This was too difficult.
That was an extremely arrogant person who, even if her body was honest, her mouth wouldn't be. Even if her attitude towards him improved, she would definitely refuse forcefully.
To make the proud Lightning Queen bow her head and actively kiss him... this difficulty was comparable to him resurrecting Cecilia and having Cecilia kiss him. It wasn't even this difficult!!!
Really, if only Miss Herrscher's personality were as sweet as her mouth.
Otto stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and walked to the balcony, gazing down at Changkong City.
A smile played on his lips.
Everything was going smoothly so far. Kiana and Mei had both fallen into his trap, and neither had any other support. He was the only one they could rely on.
Moreover, not to mention Mei, Kiana, the chosen one, already had the will to fight Honkai. Asakura Miyuki's death would push her forward.
Victory over Honkai is within reach.
Once Honkai is defeated, I can peacefully live with my Valkyries and create little Bishops.
Heh heh.
I almost burst out laughing.

[Host, did you know? You are like an old general on a stage, covered in flags.]
However, my useless System once again ruined my good mood.
[Changkong City is starting to get weird.]
It was still Bronya's pleasant voice, but Otto felt it was more like that mischievous Bronnie.

"What happened?"
Otto frowned and asked in his mind.
[Please explore it yourself, Host. There is no area you cannot explore.]
[However, the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder have met, and the wheel of fate has begun to turn again. You already hold the chips for resistance.]
"Speak human."
Otto frowned. Why was this person acting like a riddle-master in front of this Bishop?
Riddle-masters, get out of my body!
[Fine~]
[OTTO System Upgrade Mission officially begins!]
[Upon completing the upgrade mission, this System will officially upgrade from the test version to the official version 1.0!]
Test version?
Otto felt like he had been hit by an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
So I've been using a trial version of a system with no emotions all this time?
But if this test version is already this much of a pain, then the official version...
Chapter 55: Are You Guys Really Fighting Over Me?
[OTTO System Upgrade Mission]
[Mission Content: Usurp the authority of the Will of Honkai.]
[Mission Remarks: Emperors rule in turn, and next year it will be my turn. Why can't a dignified Bishop of Schicksal sit in the position of the Will of Honkai? Even if I have to squeeze, I'll make half a butt-cheek's worth of space.]
[Mission Reward: OTTO System officially upgraded to version 1.0.]
[Failure Penalty: None. You will be erased by the Will of Honkai anyway if you fail.]
Otto looked at the upgrade mission issued by the System and had a completely bewildered expression.
"Usurp the authority of the Will of Honkai?"
Am I worthy of such a thing?
If I go confront the Will of Honkai right now, it's like an old man with a birthday wanting to eat poison – he's just tired of living.
"System, be honest. Are you planning to possess my body after I die?"
Otto had every reason to believe the System was trying to harm him.
[Please do not slander this System, Host.]
"Then tell me, how can I, a human, usurp the authority of the Will of Honkai? And what is its authority anyway? Is it to summon Honkai Beasts or to corrupt maidens?"
Although the original Bishop Otto wasn't afraid of the Will of Honkai at all, he even seemed to understand it thoroughly. Meeting the Will of Honkai was as simple as going to a public restroom.
But that didn't mean this Otto could do it.
Even if meeting the Will of Honkai was like going to the restroom, Otto didn't want to meet such a being that surpassed humanity. It would be too much for his heart.
[You were not prepared for your first encounter, but for the second reunion, this System will be your hidden blade.]
[You only need to stand before the Will of Honkai and pull it from its position.]
"Easier said than done."
Otto chuckled helplessly.
He probably understood. The System had likely foreseen that he would meet the Will of Honkai again, which made him grit his teeth. Honestly, he really didn't want to meet that so-called Will of Honkai.
[At worst, you only need to seize some of its authority.]
[As long as you possess some of the Will of Honkai's authority, you will not be at a disadvantage in the war against Honkai.]
[If you can seize Finality, the great matter will be settled.]
As soon as he heard "Finality," Otto suddenly understood.
"You want me to seize the selection and control rights over the Herrschers?"
The Will of Honkai and the Herrschers are connected, with the Will of Honkai guiding the Herrschers through whispers.
But if Otto seizes this authority...
"Then..."
"For example, if I take control of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of Sentience..."
"Then I could wake Welt up in the middle of the night with whispers, and mock Black Tiger A'fu every day for inheriting the flat-chested High Immortal's physique?"
The System fell silent.
If I had this power, this is what you'd think of?
Why don't you just turn all the Valkyries into Herrschers? It'd be more convenient to notify them when you're selecting consorts at night.
[Theoretically, it is possible.]
But it could indeed be done.
"This has great potential."
Otto couldn't help but exclaim, realizing the System wanted him to do something world-shattering.
This was truly asking him to be the one setting the exam.
If he could choose who becomes a Herrscher, wouldn't he be invincible?
If all else failed, he could designate himself.
Rejoice! I am the Bishop of Schicksal who embodies the power of all Herrschers, transcending space and time, knowing the past and future!
However, this would be like snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
His shoulders felt heavy. Otto hadn't expected to play such a big game right from the start. To snatch the authority from the Will of Honkai meant he would definitely have to face the Will of Honkai directly.
