Persuading Anti-Entropy and the Vivid Red in the Self-Annihilators' Eyes / The Self-Annihilator's Decisive Move

Tesla's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

"To be precise, it's the power exercised by the Herrscher himself—"

Even Einstein's usually calm face could no longer maintain its composure, and it was filled with deep thought.

"It now appears that Joyce's appearance was not an isolated case..."

On the contrary, it was Sirin from back then...

"Don't misunderstand, although I now possess these three powers, the Herrscher was not originally me, but another part of me."

After I defeated that part, these three powers became my possession as spoils of war.

Gwen emphasized.

"You've actually managed to defeat Herrscher who wields three combined powers all by yourself?"

Siegfried asked in surprise.

It's worth noting that back then, even with the combined strength of almost the entire world, they were still badly beaten by Sirin.

"The situation is complicated, and I am by no means fighting alone."

Gwen didn't offer much explanation; there were too many secrets involved, and explaining them would be too troublesome.

Having said that, without giving the four a chance to ask questions, Gwen changed the subject—

"Besides the power itself, I also gained some additional benefits—"

"What did you gain?"

Seeing that Gwen was reluctant to talk about it, Welt Yang adjusted his glasses and asked, following Gwen's lead.

"The Thousand-Man Herrscher, as the name suggests, can connect with a thousand people and make them all a part of himself."

Even though their individual strength was quite weak, a thousand people from all walks of life could mobilize their relatively small force...

"It's by no means a simple matter; it might even be more difficult to deal with than a mere Herrscher..."

Just then, Raiden Ryoma entered and picked up where Gwen off, striding towards the group. Although his face showed undeniable fatigue, he still appeared quite energetic.

"Uncle Longma, it's been a long time."

Gwen greeted them and continued—

"Although the group of Thousand-Man Herrscher tried to sever ties with me after they realized that I, as one of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, had a problem, I was able to counterattack in the end."

And from them, I gained some unexpected insights—"

Chapter 704 Persuading Anti-Entropy and the Vivid Red in the Eyes of the Self-Destructor

"This is a compilation of information gathered from the other individual Thousand-Man Herrscher and Schicksal's original informants. You can take a look—"

Gwen spoke, he took out the hard drive and handed it to Tesla, then said to Welt Yang—

"To deal with Otto's probing, hiding one's tracks is the right choice."

However, your prolonged absence as the Alliance Leader of the alliance will only strengthen the Anti-Entropy force of the already loose alliance.

For example, Cocolia, whom I have already beheaded, and for example—

Your good subordinates—"

Gwen spoke, he pointed to the hard drive that was being read.

"..."

As the most worldly-wise person present, Raiden Ryoma had already gleaned something from Gwen's words and quickly moved closer.

Soon after, an eerie silence fell over the room—

The Anti-Entropy Leader and his three generals looked on with grim expressions at the misdeeds of some of the Anti-Entropy and even conservative factions within the Anti-Entropy faction.

Siegfried had initially maintained a straight face, not wanting to put too much pressure on his friends, but when he saw some of the records from 2007, his expression immediately darkened.

Because of the good deeds these people committed, the Anti-Entropy that was supposed to meet them was late or even absent, and ultimately...

"Although I haven't finished reading it yet, I think you all should now have a general understanding of the current situation of Anti-Entropy, right?"

Gwen tapped the table lightly, interrupting the man who was engrossed in watching. Gwen was worried that someone might be among them—especially his father-in-law Raiden Ryoma, whose blood pressure was so high it was about to burst.

"By observing small things, we can roughly understand how bad the whole situation has become."

Raiden Ryoma sighed deeply, took off his glasses, and wiped them vigorously.

"None of us are good at managing these mundane affairs, so we can only let Anti-Entropy grow wildly."

Add to that my absence over the years... sigh..."

Welt Yang said a couple of sentences but couldn't continue.

How did Anti-Entropy, which was originally established to rebel against Otto's Schicksal rule of destiny, end up like this?

"So, you all agree that the current Anti-Entropy needs major overhaul?"

Gwen pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked.

"This is indeed necessary."

Welt Yang realized the important information was coming and said seriously,

"However, with the threat of Schicksal looming large, we certainly do not want to die a slow death from Anti-Entropy, but we also do not want Anti-Entropy to die suddenly on the spot."

In short, Otto—

Gwen was not surprised and pointed out the crux of the problem.

"That's right."

The members of Anti-Entropy said in unison—

With that scoundrel Otto outside, even if they wanted to undergo radical surgery, they couldn't.

The moment the knife makes its cut, Otto will seize the opportunity to bite.

"Well then, gentlemen, let me tell you a story..."

A story that took place five hundred years ago, yet continues to this day and is still unfinished.

"In other words..."

Although he listened to the story, Tesla, as one of the victims, clearly felt no sympathy whatsoever for Otto.

"This guy was a world leader his whole life, committed so many unforgivable sins, yet he only had one woman in his heart who had been dead for over five hundred years?"

"That Saintess Kallen is indeed a person worthy of respect and remembrance."

Einstein subtly covered for Tesla, and seeing that Gwen's expression didn't change much, he continued—

"And if this story is true, then many of Otto's perplexing behaviors would have a reason."

Only..."

"It's hard to believe, isn't it?"

Gwen shrugged.

"Our Lord Bishop committed so many evils, all for this purpose."

"From a man's perspective, I admire this perseverance."

However, as one of the managers of Anti-Entropy, I remain skeptical.

"Raiden Ryoma said in a deep voice."

"Reasonable.

As the weaker party, it is essential to remain vigilant at all times.

Gwen nodded.

"Therefore, after this, Schicksal will deal with its many problems and the people involved."

Even if the penetration of Anti-Entropy into Schicksal is quite worrying, corresponding information will still be received.

At the same time, Schicksal will synchronize relevant action information with Anti-Entropy.

This is known only to a select few present.

"Prussian profanity, if Otto really goes all the way, then even if he's just setting up a scheme to manipulate Anti-Entropy, I'll accept it."

Dr. Tesla, known for his straightforward temperament, slammed his fist on the table and said...

"..."

With a helpless glance at Tesla, who had just played his important card, Raiden Ryoma looked at Welt Yang.

"As Tesla said, if Schicksal can prove through its actions that Otto has truly changed, then Anti-Entropy would not mind re-merging with Schicksal..."

Even if it becomes Schicksal's North American branch again.

Welt Yang, however, didn't think as much as Raiden Ryoma and said in a deep voice.

"He truly is a man who has inherited the name of Welt."

Gwen clapped his hands and laughed.

"Then... let us witness this historic moment together, for the ideals that Princess Nancy had when she created Anti-Entropy."

"Speaking of which..."

After much hesitation, Dr. Einstein raised the most important question—

"Gwen, you've dealt with Otto's threat—"

In other words, you resurrected that Saintess from five hundred years ago, didn't you?"

Instantly, everyone in the room focused their attention on Gwen, and instinctively held their breath.

"That's right..."

Gwen remained calm and smiled as he gave them the answer they had been waiting for.

"If any of you wish, you may come with me back to Schicksal to see her—"

Although she herself did nothing, she did not feel at ease ignoring the sins committed by Bishop Otto in his attempt to resurrect her, but rather believed that she also bore a crucial part of them.

She probably wouldn't mind meeting with all the victims—

After he finished speaking, an unusual silence fell over the room again, until Siegfried could no longer contain himself and grabbed Gwen—

"How did you do that?!"

While Gwen was opening the door to a new world for them, far away at the other end of the universe—

The silent Blademaster, who had wandered from Orcalon, arrived at a new stop—a planet with a black sun, just like her homeland.

On the beach where it rains endlessly all year round, the Blademaster found a rare glimmer of hope—an old man with a hunched back, who insisted on standing and gazing at the illusory shadows on the sea.

Just as the Blademaster stepped forward to speak with the old man, a bright red color suddenly entered her field of vision, into the void world that was already shrouded in black and white.

It wasn't the deathly crimson of the spider lilies by the Sanzu River, but a vibrant red that leaped like flames, causing the gradually dying heart to suddenly beat violently.

Chapter 705 The Decisive Self-Destructor

His previously unhurried pace suddenly quickened, and the lone Blademaster took a few quick steps, causing the small puddles to tremble.

A red umbrella lay discarded beside a puddle. On the shimmering water, a lone traveler bent down, reaching out to touch the vibrant red, but then pulled his hand back just before it touched it.

Even though she chose to use the power she drew from the Path of the Void to fight against nothingness, she was ultimately Self-Destructor had gone too far down the path of nothingness.

Now, she can see very few colors, only the occasional faint red.

The sudden appearance of this vibrant, fiery red color in her eyes even made her feel a little anxious and uncertain.

I both want to touch it, to use my fading senses to perceive that flame-like warmth, and I worry that the power within me will destroy that faint, candle-like color like a torrential downpour.

However, she quickly put aside this feeling of gain and loss, and her pale fingertips gently touched the bright red.

The tone lacked the warmth of a fireplace, leaving the solitary traveler slightly disappointed yet also somewhat elated—elated by something that wasn't as beautiful as candlelight, but rather fragile.

Gently pinching that fiery red color and lifting it upwards, the Blademaster finally saw that it was a piece of... paper?

A more specific name seemed to emerge from the fading Remembrance, but the Blademaster did not dwell on it.

A flutter in her heart made her follow her old habit and naturally open the Invitation Letter in her hand.

Then, the fiery red color disappeared, replaced by a crystal-clear screen—
