Fu Hua looked at Otto coldly.
"I won't become a Herrscher."
Master Fu immediately planted a flag for herself.
But that was indeed what she thought.
How could I, Fu Hua, possibly become a Herrscher?
Still, she raised a hand and pressed it against Otto's chest, then spoke in her cool voice.
"If I really become a Herrscher..."
She shoved Otto away, then her iron-hard fist shot forward like lightning. The wind from the punch stirred a few strands of Otto's golden hair before stopping a centimeter from his face.
"The first thing I might do is blow your face apart."
That was a threat.
Because Fu Hua always felt that Otto seemed to be plotting something against her.
Otto's Body, Fu Hua's Brain
The room was silent. Otto did not continue teasing High Immortal Fu Hua. His little tricks were completely useless against a woman over fifty thousand years old.
Fu Hua's impression of him had long since become deeply ingrained.
No matter what he did, it would be difficult to change his standing in her heart in a short time.
Still, if he used Shenzhou to threaten Fu Hua into bearing him a child, she would probably agree. But her heart still would not belong to him, and it might even make her hate him.
That would be more trouble than it was worth.
A child...
Otto narrowed his eyes. Sitting in his chair with a terminal in hand, he reviewed Schicksal's affairs so he could quickly understand its current situation.
He could not stay in Changkong City for long, so he needed to familiarize himself with Schicksal's business as soon as possible, lest anyone notice something wrong when he returned.
Yet his thoughts drifted away.
If he had a child...
Would that mean he had truly put down roots in this world?
Would that count as settling down?
The fingers of his left hand lightly tapped his thigh. Otto looked up at Fu Hua, who had been leaning against the wall with her arms folded, striking a pose. The immortal had stood there for several hours already, seemingly intending to remain there all night.
Wasn't she bored standing there?
As expected of the Immortal Vermillion Bird, she was remarkably patient with loneliness.
"My old friend."
Otto spoke softly. Fu Hua, who had been staring solemnly at the floor but was actually eavesdropping on the room next door, raised her head.
Her position was excellent. With a Fusion Warrior's hearing, she could clearly hear what was happening next door.
So she had been listening to the two little girls next door, who were whispering instead of sleeping.
And the topic those two girls were discussing was Otto.
All she could say was that Otto really had a talent for deceiving girls. No wonder he had a crowd of fangirls under him in Schicksal.
But using love to reform a Herrscher was a little absurd.
And Otto wanted two Herrschers at once...
Was he two-timing?
But when Fu Hua heard Otto call her, she looked at him and replied in her usual cool voice.
"What is it?"
Otto showed a curious smile and asked.
"My old friend, I'm very curious."
"Can Fusion Warriors get pregnant?"
"Would there be Reproductive Isolation between them and Pure Humans like us?"
Fu Hua's expression stiffened at Otto's question. To be honest, he had truly touched upon one of her blind spots.
Fu Hua did not answer. She merely shook her head faintly.
After receiving that response, Otto pondered.
As things stood, there were no precedents of Fusion Warriors becoming pregnant. Even Kevin, the strongest Fusion Warrior, only had descendants created by Dr. MEI using their genes.
But there were not many Fusion Warriors to begin with.
Fu Hua watched the thoughtful Otto, unable to understand why he would ask such a question.
Could it be...
"Otto, are you worried about Theresa's future marriage?"
Fu Hua suddenly understood.
Otto's beloved granddaughter Theresa also had Honkai Beast Gene in her body, so she could barely be considered a Fusion Warrior of the Current Era.
The reason Otto asked this question was probably because he was worried about Theresa's future.
After all, Theresa was a candidate for Bishop of Schicksal. If she had no heirs, Schicksal would descend into chaos.
Fu Hua could only think in that direction. After all, she would never imagine that Otto actually wanted to get her pregnant.
Otto, meanwhile, had a face full of question marks.
Theresa's marriage?
What little brat would dare lay a hand on tiny Theresa? Wouldn't he have to teach him how the Schicksal Penal Code was written?
He did not quite understand Fu Hua's train of thought, but he continued asking.
"If a Fusion Warrior gives birth to a child, would that child inherit some of their parents' traits?"
Fu Hua thought about it, then shook her head again.
That was another blind spot in her knowledge.
But thinking about it, Otto probably knew everything she knew. If Otto did not know something, how could she possibly know the answer?
After working under Otto for so many years, Fu Hua also understood that she could not compare to him in wits or schemes.
"The Kaslana family inherited the bloodline of Kevin Kaslana from the Previous Era. Their blood carries a portion of his power."
Siegfried's beastification was part of Kevin's power.
"So if there are descendants, they should inherit part of the previous generation's abilities."
"Then I'm a little curious."
"My old friend, if you had a child, what power would they inherit?"
"If you and I had a child."
"If she inherited my mind and your strength, then that child would be worthy of being called a Savior, wouldn't she?"
Fu Hua frowned slightly.
"However, if she inherited my physical qualities and your mind, that would be troublesome."
In that case, he would have to raise another account.
"You're so pessimistic that you're placing your hopes on the next generation?"
Fu Hua asked in an even tone. She had genuinely taken Otto's words as a hypothetical example and was still considering how unpleasant it would be if children inherited their parents' flaws.
And even technology could not control something like that.
Then, belatedly, she looked at Otto.
She felt that Otto had insulted her just now.
What was wrong with my mind?
"How could that be?"
"The war between humanity and Honkai will end in my generation."
Otto said with a smile, steering the conversation away. He had grown used to sharing a room with Kiana, and it had made him somewhat frivolous even when talking to the High Immortal.
Fortunately, she had not taken offense.
He did not want Fu Hua to beat him up just yet.
After all, her little fists pounding his chest could kill someone.
Actually, that was from the front. (laugh).JPG
"In the next couple of days, I plan to take the two of them away from Changkong City. There's no value in staying here any longer."
If he brought the Herrscher of the Void and the Lightning Herrscher back to his base, he could monitor them at any time. The Will of Honkai would have no opportunity to make a move.
After all, It had to follow the rules when entering the field.
But at that moment, Otto's communication terminal rang.
It was a call from his secretary, Amber.
After Otto connected the call, the woman who had been living in the background all this time spoke respectfully.
"Lord Overseer, the people you sent to investigate Changkong City have obtained preliminary results."
Otto raised an eyebrow. With Schicksal's technology, it was extremely difficult for Cocolia and the Will of Honkai to do anything secretly.
"According to the investigation, although the Honkai Energy concentration in Changkong City is very weak, it has been increasing every day."
"Is Cocolia behind this?"
Otto had not forgotten that troublemaking woman. Right now, he was worried that the lunatic would directly trigger an artificial Honkai eruption in Changkong City.
"No. It isn't!"
"According to our readings, the Honkai Energy in cities surrounding Changkong City is gradually moving toward Changkong City."
"Although the Honkai Energy contained in the air is negligible, not even enough to affect the human body, it is indeed converging on Changkong City."
"If all that Honkai Energy gathers in Changkong City, it may cause a Honkai disaster."
This was going to be... gathering sand into a tower.
"This does not seem like something Anti-Entropy could accomplish. It's practically like..."
Otto interrupted Amber calmly.
"God."
"This is... a miracle."
The Donkey-Eared Box Is Ready to Go Online
The Will of Honkai had made its move.
A Schicksal-issued communication terminal rested on the table, displaying a holographic projection of Changkong City and the surrounding region.
The image showed pink spirals, the trajectories along which Honkai Energy was gathering.
These minute traces of Honkai Energy were slowly converging on Changkong City through the air.
Clearly, this was unreasonable.
If the Will of Honkai was not involved, Otto would cut off his own head and use it to pad Fu Hua's chest.
But that made things extremely troublesome.
The Will of Honkai had made its move.
Although the Honkai Energy concentration in Changkong City was still perfectly safe, once all that moving Honkai Energy entered the city and gathered sand into a tower, what came next would be a Honkai disaster.
A Great Honkai would erupt in Changkong City.
