A Blushing Durandal, a Flushed Rita

Li Sushang clutched her ahoge (cowlick), looking anxious and helpless.

If this continues, the reputation of the Tai Xu Martial Hall will be ruined...

Li Sushang even wanted to call her first and second masters.

At the same time.

Kiana was deeply moved by this scene.

Especially considering that Fu Hua reserved her power to help her.

"Class monitor... I must treat you to a meal next time."

Kiana made up her mind.

Mei patted Kiana's head, both amused and exasperated.

Bronya couldn't help but laugh.

"Kiana, have you considered that you'll be facing Otto all by yourself next?"

"So what? Even if it's just me alone, I can still beat Otto to a pulp!"

Chapter 481 The blushing goose, the flushed Rita.

As the screen went black, Hua's words to Mei still left a lingering sense of confusion.

The future is in your hands.

Hua didn't understand what she had left to pass on to those who came after her.

Mei paused for a moment; in this respect, she and Hua were the same.

"Hua... if you want to know, go to [tomorrow] and see for yourself."

The dialogue between Hua and Mei.

This symbolizes Fu Hua's rediscovery of her original aspirations and a temporary conclusion.

"Mei, it can be said that her words came true."

Sakura sighed.

Mei probably never imagined that Fu Hua's future would be so [exciting].

Sometimes, they would inexplicably see Fu Hua as someone from the present civilization, while Kevin was different. He was the Lord of the World Serpent and the executor of the Stigmata Project. The two of them had taken different paths.

"We also hope that China can survive well in modern civilization and forge a new path."

Pardo has now adapted to the possibility that she might have died in the storyline, and feels a sense of shared pride as she watches Fu Hua in the present civilization.

Kiana finally arrived outside the church, somewhat worried about Fu Hua's situation. Not wanting to waste the opportunity Fu Hua had created for her, she was just about to enter the church.

Theresa sent a message, Kiana told Theresa what had happened. Theresa also updated Kiana on Bronya and the others' progress.

The call was abruptly cut off.

"Now, it's time to put the new pieces down."

Otto's whispers were like the murmur of a demon.

In Kiana's view, Otto appeared before the audience, holding the Abyss Flower.

"Oh dear, the second guest has arrived just in time!"

When Otto said that it was fortunate Kiana came, otherwise it would have been a bit tricky if it were Fu Hua, he was surprised.

They were puzzled.

Otto, who possesses the power of dominance and has schemed so much, how could he find Fu Hua so troublesome?

Having survived that tragedy... she was, after all, more experienced.

Tragedy.

Their pupils contracted as they recalled the events of the Previous Era.

"No... no way?"

Elysia was so frightened that she stammered.

The only tragedy that could be considered a tragedy for Fu Hua is probably the "Boundary Tragedy" in the Previous Era, which resulted in the deaths of a significant number of Fusion Warrior. This is also information that Seele witnessed firsthand in the World Bubble created by Kevin's memories.

Following the Tenth Herrscher's dominance, the Eleventh Herrscher's constraint should appear next, used to shape the core of the "Eleventh Divine Key, the Judah's Oath".

Prior to this.

Some viewers speculated that Theresa would become the Herrscher of Binding.

But now it seems that the power to impose restrictions is in Otto's hands.

"The power of restraint... plus the power of domination, just how many trump cards does Otto have left?"

The scales of victory had been tipping in Kiana's favor, but Otto casually pulled out another trump card, erasing everything Kiana and her team had done to gain the upper hand.

"Judah's function should be able to nullify Honkai energy, and combined with the ability to control others, it is practically unsolvable."

"No wonder Otto was so confident."

Even with Mei's exceptionally high intelligence, aside from idealism and Otto's voluntary surrender, she couldn't think of any way Kiana and the others could win.

The latter can be given up on most likely.

Given Otto's personality, he would do anything to revive Kallen. Now that the revival is at a critical moment, asking him to give up is harder than killing him.

That leaves only idealism.

"Holy crap! Isn't that Big Sister's Abyss Flower?"

Kiana's eyes widened.

He gazed at the familiar Abyss Flower in Otto's hand.

"Second place?!"

Bronya was surprised, but also deeply puzzled.

"So, Durandal has already gone to challenge Otto to a duel? Now the Abyss Flower is in Otto's hands, but Durandal is nowhere to be seen. Does that mean..."

Seele didn't finish speaking.

But anyone could understand the meaning behind her words.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Kiana waved her hand dismissively, clearly not believing it.

"I also think Otto wouldn't kill Durandal. After all, Durandal is still on Otto's side."

Mei frowned.

"I have a feeling that Otto didn't hurt Kiana and the others. According to what he said, if we go back 500 years, we will still need Kiana and the others to assist Kallen."

After listening to Mei's words, everyone felt that there was some truth to them.

Bronya suddenly thought of another point.

"Have you forgotten about the promotional video?"

Kiana's eyes lit up.

"Yeah! If the eldest sister really gets involved, then who was that guy fighting Mei in the promotional video?"

From those few frames in the promotional video, it's clear that the special effects of Mei and Durandal's battle are no less impressive than Durandal's fight against Kevin, the strongest from the Previous Era versus the strongest from the current civilization.

Bronya couldn't help but glance at Kiana.

She didn't understand why Kiana was so excited.

Is it really something to be happy about when the older sister and wife are fighting?

Fortunately, Bronya didn't say it aloud, otherwise Kiana's smile would have gradually disappeared.

The scene shifts to the Hyperion, where Amber and Einstein mention the Herrscher of Binding and express their strong desire to conduct Herrscher of Binding to counter it.

This move only fueled the audience's speculation.

Otto may have indeed acquired the power to impose restrictions.

Theresa was the one who participated in the experiment. Amber did not recommend it because of the active factors in her body, but Theresa insisted on going.

As the experiment began, Theresa grasped the two chains of Judah's Oath, using the power of the two bonds to cancel each other out, thus bringing the experiment to a successful conclusion.

Is this foreshadowing?

Pardo wasn't sure.

Knowing that Otto possessed the power of constraint, they initially thought Otto might become the Herrscher of Binding. However, after witnessing this experiment, they felt that Theresa also had the potential to become the Herrscher of Binding.

"Do you think there's any possibility that..."

Sakura's expression was strange.

"Will Otto hand over the core of the constraint to Theresa?"

Sakura's conjecture was not a wild guess.

As the headmistress of the Herrscher Academy, Theresa has one or two of her subordinates become Herrscher, so what about her...?

"The Collapse Consciousness is really in a bad way; it's about to have another traitor under its command."

Little Knowledge couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She even felt a little sorry for the Collapse Consciousness.

They're either traitors or they die young. The only one who's accomplished anything of substance is a puppet, and now even that power has been taken away from them.

[As the speculation unfolds, the story has progressed to an hour earlier, leaving viewers wondering why the Abyss Flower ended up in Otto's hands and even more worried about Durandal's situation.]

The answer will be available soon.

It turns out that Durandal had sensed something was wrong back then and tried to contact Changguang through Rita, but received no response. She then contacted Amber to inquire about relevant information. Amber didn't say much, but instead gave them information about Changguang.

Following Amber's instructions, the two entered the key and found the image left by Changguang in the spacetime rift.

"He certainly had a reason to do this... because he had decided to trade almost everything in the world for a chance to reverse time in some sense."

"But at least, in a sense, he is also saving the world from the clutches of the Honkai."

"However, while it is indeed true... it is also just a consequence of another fact."

Durandal learned of Otto's plan and the price to be paid for turning back time from Changguang. She clearly did not agree with it and decided to talk to Otto.

It is for this reason that Durandal entrusted the authority of the Sumeru Mustard Seed and the Holy Sword to Rita, including the responsibility of anchoring the World Bubble. She was prepared to oppose Otto.

Rita keenly sensed that this might be Otto's way of provoking her, and that he was using a lie as a cover-up.

Even knowing this, Durandal still decided to go find Otto.

Rita gives Durandal another Geniuß from five years ago.

Under the Bodhi tree, the two seemed to be exchanging tokens of their love.

"I will always take good care of the world that we fought so hard to protect five years ago... and wait for you to come back here."

"Is it a deal?"

Durandal smiled.

"Okay, it's a deal."

From the moment Sumeru Mustard Seed, Durandal prepared to go to the church.

"As long as I have your amulet, I will definitely send it back."

"I know, Durandal."

The twins of the Immortal Blades looked at each other in silence, walked silently to the place of farewell, and waved goodbye in silence.

Watching Durandal's departing figure, Rita had already donned her new armor.

Elysia smiled like an aunt.
