Theresa is one, Durandal is half.

The battle between Durandal and Otto had been at a stalemate for a long time.

Finally, Durandal held the Abyss Flower, its tip pointing at Otto, who was kneeling on the ground, and their battle came to an end.

The golden-haired knight questioned the Fool about his plans.

Otto, however, argued that Durandal needed to fight with the intention of killing him, rather than just making small talk like this. So he used the Geniuß coordinate change to banish Durandal to the Imaginary Space.

Time returns to the present.

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

Only then did the audience understand the meaning of Otto's words.

Kiana launched an attack without hesitation. She could sense that Otto was more dangerous than any enemy she had ever faced before.

Kiana's attacks had no effect on Otto.

They watched helplessly as Otto walked into the glowing church.

"Let's be quiet for a while... Herrscher of Finality."

"I will take over God's power one by one, until 12 hours from now—"

"To present you with a brand new world full of hope."

Otto's figure gradually disappeared into the portal of light.

Kiana's Herrscher instincts told Kiana that this was her only chance to subdue Otto. Blazing flames gathered on the Flamescion Greatsword, and just as she was about to unleash the final blow, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

The Honkai energy within her body was rapidly dissipating, and the Empyrean Greatsword was slowly vanishing right before her eyes. No matter how many times she tried to reassemble it or how many times she called out "Flame King Sword," her hand remained empty.

Kiana didn't understand why.

I didn't feel like I was being controlled.

Kiana's confusion was understandable, because at this moment, she had only just begun to experience another kind of Herrscher power—[Restraint].

Durandal was banished.

The strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal has been banished just like that?

"Otto's method of expelling others using Geniuß must have limitations, right? Otherwise, if he expelled them one after another into the Imaginary Space, what would Kiana and the others be able to do?"

Sakura thought about it carefully.

If Otto could really banish people to the void at will, then Kiana and the others might as well just give up and go there one by one to get themselves killed.

"Yaqing, how should you write the rest of the plot?"

Elysia turned her head and asked curiously.

She couldn't even imagine how the story would develop.

Having the power to dominate and restrain, Otto is not Wendy. He doesn't know how to use the Herrscher Core; all he can do is blow the wind. Otto is a bishop who has controlled the world for 500 years, and his research on Herrscher is already very thorough.

"Achoo!"

Wendy was far away on the other side of the ocean, sneezed.

"You've caught a cold, haven't you?"

Green Cabbage Head Ai-chan was sitting next to me, grumbling as she reviewed the documents.

"Don't infect me."

Hearing Ai-chan's disgusted voice, Wendy couldn't help but rub her nose.

"Hehe!"

Wendy stuck out her tongue and smiled.

As Yaqing's student, he perfectly inherited Otto's method of handling documents, which is to hand over all the difficult documents to an excellent secretary for review.

Otto has Amber, Yaqing has Rita and Salome, and she has Ai-chan.

Upon hearing Elysia's question, Yaqing, who was sitting in the last row, a world away from the first row, smiled.

"Elysia, just relax. The plot will definitely not fall apart, and you'll definitely feel that it's very well written."

Yaqing answered loudly.

"Pfft."

Mobius was amused.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Only Elysia was taken aback, then puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish.

What do you mean by "putting your heart in your pelvis"? I wasn't in a car accident!

"Eden, look at him!"

Elysia clung to Eden's arm, pouting and whining as she complained.

If you bully me when Eden is not around, and you still bully me when Eden comes back, then what was the point of Eden coming back?

"Okay, okay, Elysia, I'll go teach him a lesson after I've finished watching."

Eden was completely unable to resist Elysia's coquettishness and could only smile and comfort her.

Yaqing shivered.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mobius was worried because, in the past few days, Yaqing had been working an extra hour to increase the amount of information in the Elysian Realm script, going from finishing work at 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

"Fine."

Yaqing rubbed her nose.

He had a strange feeling that someone had been talking about him, and it definitely wasn't anything good.

"Yaqing, wouldn't you call this a plot device to kill off Durandal?"

Kevin leaned over to ask.

The main problem is that Durandal's banishment to the Imaginary Space was too abrupt, as if it were a banishment for the sake of banishment.

Kevin was also looking forward to Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie and Herrscher of Finality beating up Otto.

However, judging from the current situation, Otto doesn't seem willing to fight them, and has even banished Durandal to the Imaginary Space.

There are only two possibilities: either Kiana, through her efforts in the first series, will unleash her full power and defeat Otto, or Kiana will be banished to the Imaginary Space.

That's what Kevin thought.

Yaqing rolled her eyes.

"Kevin, you can insult my character, but you can't insult my script."

Yaqing expressed her helplessness.

"There's no such thing as abrupt or not abrupt. How do you know that banishing Durandal wasn't part of Otto's plan?"

Yaqing's words were chilling upon closer examination.

"Is Otto really planning to brainwash Durandal?"

Kevin's eyes widened and he blurted out.

Now it was Yaqing's turn to be dumbfounded.

Why would you think that?

"Isn't that right? You said it yourself, it's part of his plan. Plus, in the promotional video, Durandal chose to side with Otto, so isn't it just brainwashing?"

Yaqing still didn't expect that Kevin would still be so fixated on the promotional video.

There was nothing we could do.

Yaqing said with a smile.

"What if Mei chooses to stand on Otto's side? After all... the World Serpent chose to help Otto."

Yaqing smiled enigmatically, as if preparing to watch someone make a fool of themselves.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Even if Kevin were a fool, he wouldn't believe that Mei would side with Otto, even though he, as the Lord of the World Serpent, had given a death order.

Mei is more likely to leave World Serpent than to help Otto.

"Then we'll look forward to it."

Yaqing's smile.

This gave Kevin a bad feeling.

Could it be...?

Without giving it a second thought, Kevin shook his head frantically.

How could he believe such a strange claim that Mei should help Otto fight against Durandal, who chose to help Kiana?

Seeing Kevin shake his head, Yaqing felt a sense of regret.

Chapter 485 Theresa: I will never become Herrscher in this lifetime!

Watching a movie for nine hours straight would be too much for even the most resilient person, especially for Sakura, who had worked all night the day before. After finishing this chapter, she was completely exhausted and left the Home Theater yawning.

The remaining people were mostly unemployed individuals with nothing to do.

In stark contrast to the pink fox's listlessness, Bishop Otto was full of energy at this moment.

Because of him, we will soon see him fulfill his five-hundred-year-old wish, arrive in the realm of the gods, and use divine power to accomplish divine great deeds.

"The other side of will..."

Otto gazed at the title of this long chapter, a strange, pleasant sensation welling up inside him. He murmured to himself for a long time before letting out a soft laugh.

"Ah, you're right, the realm of imaginary numbers, the other side of will."

Kallen had just returned from the bathroom, waving her wet little hands and tilting her head in confusion.

I don't understand why Otto suddenly went crazy again.

I pulled out a few tissues and wiped the water off my hands.

"Go ahead and try to stop me, Durandal, Kiana, and... Theresa."

"Consider this your farewell performance for me."

In this chapter, on the dark screen, Otto's magnetic voice lacked its usual composure; perhaps because he was about to fulfill his long-cherished wish, his emotions carried a hint of impatience.

At the same time, amidst the sacred light outside the church, the Honkai energy within Kiana mysteriously vanished, Kiana could only watch helplessly as Otto leisurely departed, merging into the mysterious light curtain.

Not long after, Bronya and the others finally arrived outside the church and successfully reunited with Kiana. However, due to the light barrier left by Otto, everyone was affected to varying degrees.

The Vodka sisters were the most severely affected.

Theresa's call was connected at that moment, allowing her to communicate with Kiana and the others.

Whenever Kiana and her friends are at their wits' end, Theresa's appearance brings a sense of inexplicable reassurance. At some point, Theresa has transformed in the audience's mind from an unreliable adult into a strong support for Kiana and her friends.

Having heard the information from Kiana, Theresa of the Hyperion and the two doctors fell silent. All these clues were telling them a fact they didn't want to believe.

The light curtain outside the church may be the manifestation of the power of the Herrscher of Binding, just like the [Divine Grace Barrier].

Upon hearing the Herrscher of Binding, Kiana and Bronya were both alarmed. Noticing their panic, Einstein quickly explained that it was merely a power and did not mean that the Herrscher of Binding had been born.

At least so far, no new Herrscher Core have been detected. Considering what Otto said, this seems more like a manifestation of the power of the Imaginary Tree.

Theresa ordered Kiana and Bronya to lead their squad in a retreat.

What exactly did Otto mean by that?

Elysia watched for nine hours and remained excited.

This raises the question: what exactly is Elysia's physical condition?

Otto's actions seem reasonable to the audience at every step, but when these plans are put together, it becomes unclear what Otto's plan is actually going to achieve.
