Reaching the Sub-Demon City, the Suspicious "Otto" / Mei Gets Run Through, and "'Otto'" Incurs Everyone's Wrath
"Get out!"
Chapter 291 Ascending the Aten Magic City, the Suspicious 'Otto'
Before ascending to the "Aten Magic City", it is necessary to explore a feasible route first, just in case. No anomalies should be overlooked. After investigating the three anomalies, Mei keenly sensed that something was wrong.
And just as Mei thought, the energy at the three anomalies was detected to have previously been associated with Herrscher or Divine Key.
After reporting to Theresa, Mei told Adam and Carol to get ready; they needed to depart for the "Aten Magic City."
Herrscher or Divine Key?
The audience unanimously believed that the official story would never include a useless clue, but they connected it to Welt and his son, who were taken away by 'Otto' on the train.
"Could it be that Old Yang was taken back to Saint Fontaine by Otto?"
"Besides Welt and Xiao Qiao, who else could possess the energy of Herrscher? Don't tell me Otto becomes Herrscher later in the main story."
Unlike the online discussions, Mei and Mobius were deep in thought in the Golden Courtyard, both experiencing a premonition.
It's not necessarily Welt and his son.
Once again stepping onto the bridge, before the audience could even think about how to ascend to the "Aten Magic City" in mid-air, steps automatically formed in front of Mei and her companions.
Faced with this extraordinary scene, the three were on guard, but found that there was no other way to get up there. They cautiously climbed the steps to the "Aten Magic City".
As Mei stepped onto the platform of "Aten Magic City," Mei reported to Theresa on the other end of the communication channel. Halfway through her report, Mei noticed that Theresa hadn't said a word.
"Your Bishop..."
"Oh, she probably can't hear me. I'm sorry, I should have told you."
Mei's doubts were interrupted by a flippant male voice.
Otto had hacked into Schicksal's communications. He couldn't stand Mei and the others' dawdling any longer and openly told them that the journey would be unimpeded and they should come as soon as possible.
Otto's arrogance and disdain for Mei made it seem as if the scales of victory had tipped in his favor, and that he was the one who would win.
It was precisely this emotion that infuriated the audience.
Especially Little Knowledge.
He wished he could take the 1:1 scale version of the Judgement of Shamash and poke a few transparent holes in Otto's Honkai Steel body.
"Ugh, I'm so annoyed! Otto seems to have planned everything perfectly, it's really irritating!"
Little Knowledge made no attempt to hide his anger.
"That's right."
Fu Hua clearly didn't have a good impression of Otto, especially after recalling the scene of the headshot.
Of course, this is only based on Otto in the storyline.
At least, she was somewhat familiar with the real Otto, and Otto had also asked her to do something, which ended with her graduation.
And the one who took over her "work" was Yaqing.
"Welcome, little ones of Schicksal! Ah, I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Stepping onto the plaza-like platform, Mei two companions heard a sound and looked up sharply. High above the platform, they saw a blond man in white robes with his arms outstretched and his feet dangling in the air.
Just as the camera zoomed in, and the audience wanted to see the man's face clearly, they were surprised to find that it was completely obscured by a mask.
Because he was hidden by the mask, the audience's suspicion of the 'Otto' in front of them skyrocketed.
What was initially a 50/50 skepticism has now turned into a majority opinion that he is not Otto, but merely a poor imitator.
"Knock! Wearing a mask? Shouldn't Otto be wearing a clown mask?"
"When did Otto's taste become so bad? He's wearing such an outdated gold mask."
"Ugly and unfashionable."
The main issue with the imitators is whether they are imitating Otto, or the mastermind behind this web series. Viewers are venting their frustrations without restraint, launching sarcastic and sarcastic attacks.
Ultimately, they were relieved.
Although one criticizes Otto, one has to admit that the sense of powerlessness brought about by the methods Otto used against the protagonist group is unparalleled.
"I want to express my gratitude to the three of you. Thanks to you, I finally managed to lure out the Herrscher of Reason. From this perspective, the three of you have done me a great favor."
Otto placed his hand, clad in a golden claw glove, in front of his chest, and lowered his head slightly.
This gesture was meant as a respectful expression of gratitude, but to the audience, every move Otto made made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Then, Lukeni, lend me your servant so that I may use him to entertain our great benefactor."
Otto spread his arms again, his body floating, and the crisp snap of his fingers sounded especially loud in the quiet atmosphere.
With a snap of Otto's fingers, black mist accompanied by red light appeared in the square in front of Adam and his two companions.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, an extremely enormous monster appeared in the frame.
"Is the final battle finally about to begin?!"
Sirin grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth, her cheeks puffing up like a hamster.
Bella brought over a cup of milk tea.
"Your Queen, how many bags of potato chips is this now?"
"None of your business!"
Upon seeing this comment, Sirin gave a soft snort.
"Her Queen is so adorable!"
Unlike the frenzied fans, many viewers in Sirin's live stream were worried about Mei's safety, especially since Mei was stabbed in the promotional video.
No one can guarantee that the Honkai series won't repeat its Final Lesson.
Old characters make way for new characters; it's a common trope in anime.
"I Mei is alright."
Elysia leaned on Eden's shoulder, her face full of worry.
"No, Elysia."
Eden instinctively offered words of comfort.
"That's not necessarily true."
Mobius crossed his arms over his chest, the massive breasts putting undue stress on the buttons of his shirt, and broke the silence by saying, "Look at the flag Mei set up earlier, if she doesn't get into trouble, who will?"
Elysia's face darkened.
Eden glared at Yaqing.
Yaqing noticed Eden's expression and was immediately dumbfounded.
Why are you glaring at me for what Mobius said?
Yaqing tugged at Mobius's sleeve.
He still needs to record songs for his next movie through Eden, and besides, he's the landlord.
Mobius was puzzled.
She couldn't understand Yaqing suddenly tugged at her clothes.
"I believe in Adam. This kid has the same spirit I had back then," Kevin said, cracking sunflower seeds.
"What kind of demeanor is this, the demeanor of skipping class?"
Su didn't hold back in dismantling his plan.
"Su, you!"
Kevin was furious.
Two men, both nearing 30, started wrestling on the carpet, but no one intervened or tried to break them up.
Some people were even eager to try and join.
Chapter 292 Mei pierced by a bucket, and 'Otto' incurs public wrath.
Mei covered her face.
Seemingly ashamed to watch Kevin fooling around with Soda, he acted childishly, deliberately looking at the TV as if trying to distract himself.
Meanwhile, Yaqing, who was eager to join, had his thigh pinned down by Mobius, who gave him a warning look.
Yaqing sat down obediently.
He himself seemed unaware that since falling in love with Mobius, his position in the family had gradually shifted toward Ziegfried.
Elysia took a few photos with her phone, then quickly put it back in her pocket, the action swift and decisive.
"Ahem, let's continue watching the TV series."
Perhaps because Elysia's actions were so undisguised, Eden coughed awkwardly a few times to change the subject, drawing everyone's attention back to the TV drama's plot.
What is presented to the audience is a special effect with an explosive budget. Mei's lightning, Adam's fire, and Carol's superhuman strength work together perfectly and once have the upper hand.
Otto leisurely gave his comments to the three of them.
Carol was very unhappy after praising Mei and Adam.
"Hey, Lukeni, tell your general to be careful. This person in front of you is more than just the Herrscher of Thunder."
Seeing that the captain and seniors were praised but she remained indifferent, Carol even started to criticize the enemy, which made everyone laugh.
"This child can still joke around in this situation; he has a really good attitude."
"What I really want to know is... let's call him Otto for now, what exactly did he mean by what he said?"
Raiden Mei is more than just the Herrscher of Thunder.
This statement sparked much speculation among the audience.
Could it be that Herrscher of Thunder Core Mei core can evolve further?
"Wow, just how good is Yaqing to Mei and Kiana?" Little Knowledge blurted out.
So far, we haven't even seen a glimpse of her character, and Mei has planted another foreshadowing, speculating that there might be a brand new evolved version of the Herrscher of Thunder.
"A young couple?"
"Could it be that in real life, Kiana and Mei are... in that kind of relationship?"
The viewers in the live stream weren't curious about how good Yaqing was to Kiana and Mei; they were more interested in the real-life relationship between Kiana and Mei.
Little Knowledge belatedly covered his mouth.
He realized he had revealed too much.
"Sigh." Fu Hua sighed.
"Old fogey, do you think I still have a chance?" Little Knowledge looked at Fu Hua.
"I'll apologize to Kiana and Mei when I get to work on Monday."
Upon hearing this, Little Knowledge nodded and said seriously, "There are only 43 people in the live stream right now, all of them are our own people, and we are not allowed to spread this outside."
Little Knowledge's fans in the live stream weren't people who couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong. They realized that Little Knowledge had accidentally said it, and they all left messages in the chat saying that they would never tell anyone.
"Sigh, another huge hemorrhage is coming."
Little Knowledge grew angrier the more she thought about it. Seeing the fight scenes that were progressing in the plot, she really wanted Mei to take out the Herrscher of Thunder Core and, in the same state as the Sinners Elegy, teach Otto a lesson.
"Mei, smash Otto's head in!"
Little Knowledge, wielding a 1:1 scale Judgement of Shamash sold by Schicksal, nearly smashed it onto the computer screen, but was fortunately stopped in time by Fu Hua.
Just as the monster was about to die, 'Otto's' voice appeared again.
"Okay, you owe me a favor, Lukeni..."
