Chapter 47

Let her complete the mission Kallen had failed to complete.

Just then, voices came from downstairs. All the Valkyries stopped digging and stood up.

They had found something.

Otto activated the Cecilia Stigmata, clasped his hands behind his back, and leaped directly from the upper floor. Like a dragonfly skimming the water, he landed gracefully on the ground.

The surrounding Valkyries grew excited.

Schicksal's two greatest idols were Durandal and Otto. Durandal was the benchmark for all Valkyries, while Otto was their spiritual leader.

And because Otto was a rare man at Schicksal Headquarters, handsome and otherworldly in temperament, many Valkyries who had interacted with him regarded Bishop Otto as their first love. Unfortunately, in the past, it had been a romance forever beyond their reach.

Otto gave the girls around him a slight smile.

Dangerous heart symbols even appeared in several girls' eyes.

Bishop Otto must be smiling at me!

Standing among Valkyries whose names he could not even remember, Otto walked forward. In a deep pit lay a Black Box in silence.

Squatting before the Black Box, Otto had previously instructed them that if they found anything resembling a black box, they were absolutely not to touch it.

Looking at the Black Box, its surface flowing with a faint black glow, Otto took out a handkerchief, wrapped it around the box, and carefully held it in his hands.

It was not that the handkerchief could block the corrosion. There was simply dirt on it, and Otto found it a little distasteful.

Sealed inside it, the Herrscher of Corruption found it difficult to corrode the outside world. Only after absorbing enough Honkai Energy could the Herrscher of Corruption and Yae Sakura emerge.

But while Otto remained in Changkong City, he would not let them out.

This was the Third Bomb.

First Bomb—the Herrscher of Thunder. Second Bomb—the Herrscher of the Void. Third Bomb—the Herrscher of Corruption. Things were getting more and more outrageous.

To avoid affecting the detonation of the First Bomb, the latter two bombs had to be dismantled first, lest the Will of Honkai descend upon them.

Once they reached Schicksal territory, he would properly deal with those two fox spirits.

"You did very well."

Otto praised the Valkyries.

"Restore this place to how it was afterward."

Fill in every pit they had dug.

"Yes!"

Yet the Valkyries had not a single complaint.

After giving his orders, Otto nodded in satisfaction. He sealed the Black Box inside a specially made container capable of isolating Honkai Energy. He did not have anyone send it to Schicksal Headquarters, because he worried that something might happen along the way.

He placed the container in his waist pouch, then carried it back to the hotel room.

Fu Hua was still leaning against the wall. Even though Otto had left, she had not rested on the bed even for a moment.

After all, Otto had slept in that bed. Fu Hua still found it somewhat distasteful.

Seeing Otto return, she looked at the waist pouch in his hand and frowned slightly.

"What is that?"

For some reason, it felt familiar to her.

Otto did not answer. He looked at Fu Hua and spoke.

"Old friend, lift your clothes."

Though he spoke like some lecherous old pervert, Fu Hua merely frowned slightly. In the end, she still obeyed Otto and used both hands to lift her top, revealing her fair, flat abdomen and adorable navel.

Otto stared at the High Immortal's stomach. It clearly looked firm, yet there was not a trace of muscle definition.

I really want to poke the High Immortal's belly button with my finger.

But Otto did not dare.

Otto walked over to Fu Hua and fastened the waist pouch containing the Black Box around her waist.

His fingers deliberately brushed the skin at the High Immortal's waist several times. Otto's heart pounded violently, afraid that the High Immortal would punch him.

Fu Hua frowned faintly but said nothing. She did not consider Otto's actions improper. The wooden-headed immortal merely found it a little ticklish.

"Inside is a half-finished Divine Key."

Fu Hua's expression changed slightly upon hearing Otto's words. She realized how important the thing on her body was.

Why did Otto always dump troublesome matters on her!?

Otto lowered Fu Hua's shirt hem, covering the waist pouch and concealing it.

However, Otto raised an eyebrow.

Because he discovered.

At that moment, the High Immortal looked like a pregnant woman.

Her originally aloof demeanor, imbued with ethereal immortal grace, gained a touch of humanity because of her swollen belly.

"Here, you are the person I trust most."

Otto said with an unchanged smile.

After all, compared to everyone else, the chances of the High Immortal being corrupted were far too low.

Fu Hua nodded without saying anything. It was not as though this was the first time she had cleaned up Otto's mess.

But Otto smiled, raised his hand, and gently stroked Fu Hua's swollen belly through her clothes.

"Just treat this as our child."

"As the mother, you must protect our child well."

Kiana: I'll Give Otto a Life

What kind of golden eyes were those?

Gray mist filled the vast, boundless space, yet that golden radiance tore through it, revealing a beautiful face and an alluring body languidly reclining in midair.

Her waterfall-like white hair resembled moonlight as it floated through the air, dreamlike and illusory.

Those captivating golden eyes brimmed with majesty.

She looked down like a god perched high above, gazing upon insignificant vermin.

"Huh?"

Kiana looked at the Young Girl floating amid the gray mist in confusion. Aside from those golden eyes, the other girl looked exactly like her—even their chests and butts were the same size.

She looked around in bewilderment. Gray mist swirled everywhere, and the endless space had no visible end.

Wasn't I asleep?

Kiana was utterly baffled. She had been sleeping perfectly well, so why had she appeared here?

Could Raiden Mei have secretly kidnapped me and dumped me in a place like this!?

It was no wonder Kiana thought that way. Before she went to sleep, Mei had been the only one beside her.

But when she looked at the girl floating in the air, she furrowed her brows.

"Where is this? Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"

Kiana was confused, though she thought the other girl had an amazing presence, like a cold and proud queen.

They had the same face, so why did she get to look so cool?

Jealous, jealous.

"I am you, and you are me."

The Herrscher of the Void's majestic voice echoed through the space.

She was Kiana's other side, a side containing only evil—all the malice of Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void from the past.

"The gods have begun their summons. The day of our descent draws near."

"We shall be humanity's end."

"This is a fate from which we cannot escape."

The Herrscher of the Void watched Kiana, while Kiana frowned. Why was this person being so embarrassingly edgy? She definitely wasn't me. I'd already graduated from my chuunibyou phase.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Kiana said.

"How do I leave this place?"

"If I'm gone for too long, Otto will worry."

Upon hearing Otto's name from Kiana's lips, the Herrscher of the Void—who had been full of majesty—finally twitched her brow. A trace of disgust appeared on her frost-cold, beautiful face.

"Hmph."

She snorted coldly.

Then, in her icy voice, she said, "That man who dared defile my body deserves to die."

The Herrscher of the Void also knew about Otto secretly kissing Kiana.

In her eyes, humans were insignificant beings who deserved to be eradicated. Yet that man, a mere human, had dared to profane her sacred body, even leaving his filthy saliva in her mouth.

Profaning a god came at a price.

Then he could hand over his life.

Hearing the queen's icy voice, Kiana took a step back. She sensed the queen's bone-deep killing intent toward Otto.

"Just who are you!?"

She cried out warily.

How could she let her hurt Otto?

If anything happened to Otto, then she would have nowhere to call home.

She truly didn't want to return to a life all alone again.

Kiana wanted to find a weapon, but like the Herrscher, she wasn't wearing anything, let alone carrying a weapon.

"Hmph."

Seeing Kiana like this, the Herrscher snorted coldly.

"You can't resist me, Kiana."

The Herrscher floated in the air and raised her right hand. Countless Subspace Spears appeared behind her.

She pointed at Kiana on the ground, and the Subspace Spears shot toward her. Kiana instinctively raised her arms to shield herself, but the Subspace Spears pierced straight through her body.

"Ah!!!!"

Kiana cried out in alarm.

She jolted upright in bed, her eyes wide as sweat soaked through her clothes.

Kiana looked around. She was still in the hotel room, and her body didn't feel as though it had been pierced. Only a strange smell lingered in the air.

So it was a dream.

Kiana let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, then rolled out of bed and took off her sweat-soaked clothes.

She had really been scared into a cold sweat.

Still, the version of herself that could fly in that dream had been kind of cool.

Could she develop in that elegant, imposing direction someday?
