The Hero Fell by the Blade of a Close Friend, Otto Laughed as the World Sank

However, in that decisive moment...

A sudden and unexpected change has occurred!

A figure appeared behind Welt without warning.

He was a blond man dressed in Archbishop's Robe, with a gentle smile on his face, who looked holy and noble.

It was none other than the Bishop of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse.

"Watch out!" Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye suddenly stung, and he shouted almost instinctively.

But it was too late.

Just when everyone thought the hero was about to win and the crisis was about to be over.

At the moment when Welt was completely focused on Sirin and caught off guard.

Otto's smile remained unchanged, but a strangely shaped lance had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

Without hesitation, he stabbed Welt hard in the back!

Pfft--!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh reached everyone's ears clearly.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Everyone in the entire Douluo God Realm who was watching the Light Screen was completely stunned.

My mind went completely blank.

"Wh... what?"

Zhou Weiqing rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"Why?"

Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with chilling coldness and incomprehensible confusion.

Why?

Why would the Archbishop of Schicksal, who was supposed to be the protector of humanity, ambush the hero who was saving the world from behind?

On the Light Screen, Welt's body trembled violently. He slowly turned around in disbelief, looking at the man who still wore a smile.

His Kamisato were filled with astonishment, pain, and a hint of... understanding sorrow.

"Otto..."

Welt's voice was hoarse and weak.

Otto smiled, drew his lance, and a large amount of hot blood came out.

"I'm sorry, my dearest friend."

His voice was soft yet cruel.

"For the sake of my plan, you must leave here."

Under such severe damage, Welt could no longer maintain control over Star of Eden, and the gravitational cage that imprisoned Sirin collapsed instantly.

Upon regaining her freedom, Sirin paused for a moment, then burst into a piercing, maniacal laugh.

She looked at Welt, who was lying on the ground severely injured, and then at Otto, who was smiling. Her purple eyes were filled with mockery and pleasure.

Otto ignored her and simply waved his hand, opening a spatial rift behind Sirin.

"Let's go, Second Herrscher," he said calmly. "Go and fulfill your mission: to utterly destroy this imperfect world."

Sirin gave Otto a deep look, then, with the air of Victors, turned and flew into the rift, disappearing from sight.

The crisis is not over.

Instead of being resolved, Otto's betrayal made the situation even more dire and despairing.

The hero fell victim to the betrayal of his own people.

The monster was released by the very person who should have destroyed it.

The entire Babylon Tower was now reduced to the mortally wounded Welt, amidst a scene of utter devastation and corpses.

And there was the man standing in the pool of blood, his white Archbishop's Robe spotless, a gentle smile still on his face.

Otto Apocalypse.

At this moment, everyone in the Douluo World, whether God King or mortal, Emperor or commoner, felt a surge of rage.

That anger was countless times stronger than his hatred for Sirin!

Hatred for the enemy is a matter of clear stance.

But the hatred for traitors is a deep-seated disgust and loathing!

"Brute!"

A furious roar erupted from Dai Hao's mouth, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his Soul Power surged uncontrollably around him.

"That guy named Otto... he deserves to die! He deserves to be torn to pieces!"

"Why?! Why did he do this?! He's human too!" Xiao Xiao's voice was choked with sobs; she couldn't understand, and she couldn't accept it.

Tang San's face was terribly grim. He stared intently at Otto's smiling face on the Light Screen and said, word by word, "His purpose is definitely not simple. Letting the Herrscher go, severely injuring humanity's strongest fighter... what he wants is probably more terrifying than destroying the world."

A cold light flashed in Gu Yuena's silver eyes. She recalled how she had been tricked by humans and ultimately had to separate from her lover.

This kind of betrayal from one's own kind is the most hurtful and the most deadly.

"Unforgivable..."

"Absolutely unforgivable!"

Rong Nianbing, Hai Long, Tian Hen... one after another, the God King were truly enraged at this moment.

They had witnessed countless conspiracies and betrayals, but never such blatant and heinous atrocities.

This is not just a simple betrayal; it is the most vicious blasphemy against the belief of "protection"!

The image on the Light Screen finally froze.

The image freezes on Otto as he slowly turns around; his gentle smile, illuminated by the towering flames of the Tower of Babylon Tower, appears incredibly eerie and malevolent.

That smile seemed to mock the fallen hero, mock the innocent dead, and mock all the angry viewers in front of the screen.

The Light Screen illuminated, revealing a blue planet silently suspended in the boundless depths of the universe.

Beside it, on that lonely, gray-white satellite, a tiny figure appeared.

"That's... the moon?"

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. His Divine Power allowed him to clearly "see" the details of that planet, its familiar yet unfamiliar landscape—it was the moon above them!

"She can actually go directly to the moon!" He Caitou exclaimed in shock, his mouth agape. This was completely beyond his understanding of Soul Tool Technology.

Even Level 10 Soul Engineer cannot traverse the universe with their physical body!

On the screen, the figure of the young girl, Sirin, appears exceptionally frail.

Beside her, a ferocious and majestic dragon-shaped Collapse Beast — Benares —was lying obediently.

At that moment, a vast, cold will, not belonging to any known language, resounded throughout the entire space and clearly entered the minds of everyone on the Douluo Continent through the Light Screen.

[Having arrived here, what do you desire?]

Sirin raised her head, her purple eyes burning with undisguised hatred.

"Strength!"

"I crave power enough to destroy everything!"

The grand will remained silent for a moment, as if examining her soul.

Your heart has been captured by the desire for conquest.

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep red gem appeared out of thin air and slowly floated toward Sirin.

The gemstone seemed to contain one shattered throne after another, and the cries of countless civilizations echoed within it.

"Conquer..."

Tang San from the Divine Realm narrowed his eyes.

This is not simply energy, but a kind of... Authority! It is the embodiment of the Laws!

This gemstone represents the very concept of "conquest"!

Without hesitation, Sirin reached out and grasped the deep red gem.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura erupted from her body, and deep red energy patterns instantly covered her entire body.
