Chapter 219
Theresa heard that Otto, 500 years ago, was still like a human being.
"Well... it's hard to say, I haven't tried it. But to resurrect someone, you need my permission."
"I'd like to try it... but how can I get your permission?"
"It depends on your performance. Even if Schicksal and Anti-Entropy- World Serpent are connected, they will still be ruled separately, since the feud between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy has a long history. Schicksal always needs someone to take over... I feel you are very suitable," Chen Li said.
"Ah, me? I'm not suitable." Theresa shook her head quickly upon hearing this.
Are you kidding me?
"What's inappropriate? Archbishop Otto of Schicksal is your grandfather. As the head of the Apocalypse Family, it's perfectly reasonable for you to inherit the position of Archbishop of Schicksal ... If you don't want it, you can find someone else. As long as it's reasonable, I'm not picky," Chen Li said.
"Z Siegfried, you are the head of the Kaslana Family ..." Theresa looked at Z Siegfried.
"I have already betrayed Schicksal." Z Siegfried spread his hands.
"Durandal, you are the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, and you are also the daughter of the patriarch of the Kaslana Family and the Saintess of the Saniyat Family ..." Theresa looked at Durandal again.
"... I'm only responsible for fighting." Durandal rejected Theresa with a single sentence.
"Kiana, you... you're out of the question." Theresa glanced at her niece's overly clear eyes and was immediately overcome with sorrow.
"Wait a minute, Auntie, what do you mean? Why can't I have it?"
"Bishop of Schicksal is in charge of all Schicksal's affairs, he works more than 12 hours a day at a high intensity. Note that it is every single day. There is no rest time, no holidays. Although you can have a lot of wealth, you simply don't have time to squander it," Sirin chimed in from the side.
"Then forget it. I knew you were the best to me, Auntie, you wouldn't want me to suffer like this." Kiana happily hugged Theresa.
Theresa hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopped herself.
It's not that I'm unwilling to let you suffer like this, it's that I'm worried you'll ruin your Schicksal.
Whether it's Z Siegfried, Durandal, Kiana, or Theresa, they all have the qualifications to become Bishop of Schicksal.
But after looking around, Theresa realized that she was the only one who was suitable.
No, the thought of working 12 hours a day at high intensity made Theresa feel like her life had become meaningless!
"And most importantly, only someone with your exceptionally privileged background can truly utilize this Miraculous Item." Chen Li took out a Miraculous Item and handed it to Theresa.
"Miraculous Item? For me?" Theresa was both surprised and delighted.
"That's right, this Miraculous Item is called [Family Sacrifice to Heaven]. Its effect is that when your family or close friend dies, your work speed and efficiency will increase by 300% for the next 10 days. It's a rather useless Miraculous Item, but it's perfect for you."
This is the last Negative Artifact in Chen Li's possession... but it's not entirely negative; it still has some positive effects, though not many.
"Huh? Why?" Theresa was completely bewildered when she heard about the effects of this Miraculous Item.
How could there be such a strange Miraculous Item?
"Because I think Otto will die often. You don't think that just because you can revive Otto, no one will want to kill Otto, do you? Not to mention, there are at least 5 people in this room who want to kill Otto," Chen Li said.
"Therefore, you are the most suitable person to possess this Miraculous Item. After the three major organizations, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, merge, I will give Otto a chance to have enough time to collect the Resurrection Card to Resurrection Card Kallen. After Resurrection Card, I will no longer care about Otto's life or death. Everyone can take revenge if they have any grudges or grievances." Chen Li said.
Chen Li wasn't interested in Otto, but there was a reward for Resurrection Card Kallen.
Chen Li can only obtain the Miracle Power when they are related to Chen Li or when Miracle occur under Chen Li guidance.
Using Miraculous Item to perform Miracle is the fastest way to obtain the Miracle Power.
However, some payments are made in advance, while others are settled in real time.
Chen Li wanted to receive the funds in advance because the more Miracle Crystal he had, the more Miraculous Item Chen Li could create to generate even more Miracle ...
Moreover, if Otto could only die once, it would be far from enough to appease public anger.
Sirin wanted to kill Otto, Z Siegfried wanted to kill Otto, Welt wanted to kill Otto...
There's simply not enough Otto to go around!
Soul Steel Otto?
If Otto hadn't actually died, it wouldn't have been exciting enough.
"Isn't this better? You see the ad Otto is resurrected. Otto can meet with Kallen, whom he loves, and then be killed, waiting for the next resurrection... Of course, I will sign a contract with Otto before giving him the Resurrection Card Otto to prevent Otto from doing anything funny."
"How many times do I have to watch the ads?" Theresa's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I don't know, it depends on how many people Otto has offended. So how often your grandfather and his fiancée can meet depends on how much time you can spare to watch the commercials?" Chen Li patted Theresa's head.
Chen Li was not persecuting Otto.
Conversely, Chen Li provided Otto with the opportunity to Resurrection Card Kallen, and also provided Theresa with the opportunity to revive Otto.
Those who want to kill Otto are all people who have been persecuted by Otto.
In other words, Otto killed Otto.
"...It's sad, I'll have to watch commercials for the rest of my life." Theresa said sadly.
Theresa had already gained a basic understanding of just how many people her grandfather had offended.
Even he himself wanted to pick up Judah and smash his grandfather a few times, half to death, let alone others.
"In any case, shouldn't we release my grandfather now and let him announce his resignation to the Schicksal?" Although Theresa didn't really want to take over the position of Bishop of Schicksal, she still said.
"Oh, that's not enough. Because when we signed the contract with the higher-ups at Anti-Entropy, they added an extra clause: they also want to beat up Otto. So..."
"What?! You actually used beating up my grandfather as a diplomatic tactic?" Theresa was dumbfounded.
"There's no other way; it's a necessary sacrifice. Although this diplomatic tactic is somewhat underhanded, it's really effective."
"...Don't kill Grandpa." Theresa sighed, accepting the cruel reality.
"Don't worry, there's Z Siegfried lining up behind Welt, the Anti-Entropy Leader."
"Huh?!!" Theresa stared wide-eyed at Z Siegfried.
You little brat...
"Well, Theresa, Durandal and Kiana have suffered so much. They lost their mother when they were young..." Z Siegfried's reasoning was so compelling that Theresa couldn't refute it at all.
Otto once used the Feather of Dust to alter Theresa's Remembrance of the Second Honkai War, making her believe that the Second Honkai War was resolved by Schicksal. However, Theresa just read the manga and learned the truth...
"Okay, I don't care anymore. By the way, Chen Li, I remember Sirin said that my grandfather used Feather of Dust to modify my Remembrance many times, which made me not very smart... Do you have any way to cure it?" Theresa leaned close to Chen Li and asked in a low voice.
"..." by Chen Li.
In a sense, if you can believe this reason, it means you don't need treatment at all.
Even after it's cured, it still makes your mouth water.
But it's also possible that Theresa has become stupid, which is why she believes this reason.
"When Sakura comes back, I'll lend you Moe Ying Body. It can clear the burden of your Remembrance, but whether it can help you become smarter is another matter," Chen Li said.
Moe Ying Body only treats illnesses, not increases intelligence.
All the IQs of Theresa in the world are worth one stone, but those Kongming alone possess eight pecks.
And for some reason, every Valkyrie armor and every clone of Theresa is incredibly alluring, but when Theresa wears this nun's outfit, she evokes absolutely no desire.
As expected of a nun, she was indeed abstinent.
"Alright, now for the last topic. After we finish discussing this, you can all use your Friends Circle Terminal to watch ads and revive Cecilia." Chen Li looked at everyone.
"What topic?"
"What should the alliance of the three organizations, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, be called?" Chen Li asked.
"Let's call it the Schicksal Alliance. I think the name Schicksal sounds better," Theresa said first.
"Why not World Serpent? Perhaps it can inherit the name of the Moth Chasing Flame," the Gray Serpent said.
"We can't call it 'Moth Chasing Flame,' otherwise it'll be too confusing," Chen Li objected.
"Lord Chen Li is right."
"Let me say something fair," said the Raiden Ryoma as it approached.
Generally speaking, when someone says they want to speak the truth, they can say anything, but they absolutely cannot say the truth.
"I think the name Theresa's Schicksal Alliance is very good," said Raiden Ryoma.
"Right?" Theresa nodded in satisfaction.
"But it's not good enough."
"..."
"So, taking half of Theresa's Schicksal Alliance name and combining it with the name Anti-Entropy... how about calling it Anti-Entropy Alliance?"
"... I have never seen such a shameless person!" Theresa was shocked.
What is the difference between the Anti-Entropy Alliance and Anti-Entropy?
Because Anti-Entropy adopts an alliance-style management system that differs from the centralized authority of Schicksal, it is inherently an alliance.
"And what about the World Serpent?"
"That could be called the Anti-Entropy World Alliance."
"..."
The Gray Serpent was speechless, completely overwhelmed by the Raiden Ryoma.
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing. Let me say something fair." Chen Li gestured for everyone to quiet down.
"Chen Li's words sound so familiar."
"Since everyone is dissatisfied with the names they've chosen, let's just forget about them and I'll come up with a name," Chen Li said.
"What's your name?"
"Honkai-Moe Paradise"
"???"
"!!!"
"..."
The three major powers, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, were all dissatisfied with the naming method proposed by the other party, but they were clearly even more dissatisfied with the name Chen Li had chosen.
"May I ask if there's any deeper meaning behind this name?" Gray Serpent II asked tactfully.
"Because my outfit is called the Golden Honkai-Moe King. What, do you have a problem with that?"
"..."
"Just kidding, of course I had a special meaning behind this name." Chen Li suddenly smiled.
"What deeper meaning?"
"Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, World Serpent all sound so cool. Being defeated by such organizations would be taken for granted. But no individual or force can tolerate the humiliation of being defeated by Honkai-Moe Paradise," Chen Li confidently stated his reasoning.
Logically speaking, Chen Li is right.
"But have you ever thought about this? Even the people of Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent couldn't accept the humiliation of their alliance being called Honkai-Moe Paradise?" Z Siegfried asked tentatively.
You're right, but...
The alliance of the three major forces fighting Honkai the Honkai— Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent— will surely have a cool name, right?
What the heck is [Honkai-Moe Paradise]?
"And you don't have the copyright," Theresa reminded her.
"You're right, but I was prepared!" Chen Li snapped his fingers.
Then Gray Serpent took out a document.
"What's this? Honkai-Moe Copyright Transfer Document. Where did you get this?" Theresa asked, somewhat surprised, as she tiptoed to take the document.
Theresa loves reading the Homu Adventure comics, or rather HOMU is a mascot that children in this world love.
"You might not believe it, but never mind, I won't say it."
What Theresa didn't know was that the "Homu Adventure" comic series was actually created by Welt, the Anti-Entropy Leader.
Does that sound bizarre?
Chen Li spent a lot of money to buy the copyright of HOMU.
The World Serpent will pay the bill.
