A Certain Bishop Was Left Speechless After Being Roasted by Both His Subordinate and Granddaughter / DuckDuck, Underestimated by a Certain Bishop, Was Also Working Hard

Major Himeko, please believe in Bronya. No matter what, Bronya wanted to save Mei.

"Was this girl being controlled again?" After Bronya answered, a green comment floated across the Live Stream.

All one could say was that DuckDuck's clumsy acting could never fool a true Fool...

Chapter 52: A Certain Bishop Was Left Speechless After Being Roasted by Both His Subordinate and Granddaughter

Otto's remark hit the nail on the head, precisely pointing out Bronya's abnormality.

"You saw through it that quickly?"

"Heh, it was only a simple analysis. A normal person would clear herself of responsibility and prove her innocence at a time like this. But she chose to play the emotional card first."

As Otto's green comment drifted across the screen, Bronya's thoughts seemed to become completely transparent.

Seeing this, Beichen, who had already read the script, could not help but sigh. As expected of the Fool who had deceived the world, his loved ones, and even Him and the rules.

That ability to predict things before they happened was something Cocolia could not possibly match.

But at a time like this... he had to say something. In any case, he could not let Otto show off alone!

"I don't think you can put it that way. Bronya has spent so long with Kiana and the others, so she must have feelings for them too. At the very least, I think those words came from her heart."

"Oh? From her heart? Interesting, truly interesting. Then let us wait and see."

After losing two consecutive bets, Otto did not make another proposal about betting.

His previous actions had been more about probing for information. But now, he could basically confirm that this streamer could predict the story's future developments, or perhaps... he was directly colluding with the game company?

As Otto fell silent, Beichen did not continue the conversation either.

Himeko, I don't think Bronya sounded like she was being controlled. Besides, Bronya must want to save Mei even more than we do.

On the screen, Kiana was pleading for Bronya.

Seeing her beloved niece speak up like that, Theresa reluctantly said:

Honestly, I don't know what to do with you girls~ Since everyone is prepared to risk their lives, then let's take a chance.

Then hurry to the C7 passage entrance in the building.

After Bronya said that, the stage finally entered actual gameplay. Beichen controlled Ri Duck and swiftly cleared out the minor enemies in the stage, soon successfully dealing with the final wave of monsters.

As the monsters fell, the game immediately brought up a combat communication dialogue. Kiana's and Theresa's portraits appeared on either side.

Kiana-chan, watching the way you fight, I can feel the hot blood of the Kaslana family boiling within me too.

The Kaslana family? But Theresa, aren't you the head of the Apocalypse family?

Eh? Himeko never told you? It was supposed to be an open secret by now.

I am an artificial human. Part of my genes came from an ancestor of the Kaslana family.

Then that means, Theresa, you're something like my grandma~

No! I'm still a young and adorable girl!

"That's right, even though she's already several decades old, Theresa is still a young and adorable girl!"

A green comment floated magnificently across the screen. Even without sound, one could still hear the overflowing affection behind it.

"Viewer, please calm down. You really seem dangerous like this..."

Beichen reminded him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Fortunately, he knew the sender of that comment was a pure-love warrior rather than a lolicon, so he did not think too much of it.

Afterward, Theresa was utterly defeated by one sentence from Kiana, and the communication ended.

Ri Duck floated forward and soon entered the next section of the stage.

The moment she entered, combat dialogue boxes for Kiana and Himeko appeared on the screen.

I have a bad feeling about this...

Are you worried about Bronya? Indeed, there's a high chance this is a trap.

As the two spoke, a third person appeared.

Even if it's a trap, there's no need to be afraid~ I'm here too, aren't I? If we find out it's a trap when the time comes, we can just smash through the wall and walk out~

Theresa joined their conversation, her tone extremely relaxed.

As though this were not ME Corp headquarters, heavily guarded by Anti-Entropy troops, but a park they had gone to for an evening stroll...

"Hehe, I like that!" A blood-red comment floated past, giving Theresa's words a thumbs-up.

Beichen looked closely at the sender. As expected, it was Black Seele.

With her personality, she really would like such a simple and violent solution.

Theresa seemed especially excited today.

It was probably because, after so many years, she could finally carry out a mission herself again.

Now that you mention it, Theresa used to be a Valkyrie too?

That's right. Back when she was active, she was rather reckless, but her strength was very impressive. She was once about to be awarded the title of S-rank Valkyrie, but she refused, because...

Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, a third person appeared again...

Well, Himeko, let's leave the idle chatter at that~

Seeing that her subordinate was about to expose her past, Theresa appeared at the right moment and interrupted her.

Then she confidently told Kiana:

Anyway, Kiana-chan only needs to know that I'm amazing. Let's keep moving~

After Theresa finished speaking, the game once again entered actual gameplay.

Since it was the second area within the stage, there were not many monsters.

Beichen casually sent them all to the afterlife with two attacks, and the game began playing a conversation between Kiana and Theresa.

These robots are amazing. If Schicksal could develop weapons like these too, Valkyries would not need to go to the battlefield anymore, right?

Unfortunately, that's impossible. Schicksal also tried developing unmanned Honkai energy weapons, but they all failed.

In response to Kiana's wild idea, Theresa slowly explained in the tone of someone who had been through it all.

Having lived long enough, she naturally knew a great deal, especially about things that had happened in the past.

First, unmanned weapons only had a Honkai energy utilization rate of 20%. Second, the instability of Honkai energy damaged the weapons' physical structure. These weapons were scrapped after only one or two uses.

In short, they were not economical.

Theresa hit the nail on the head, pointing out why Anti-Entropy and Schicksal differed in their choice of mediums for using Honkai energy.

Afterward, Himeko joined the conversation and began adding details.

Schicksal's long research had discovered that a Valkyrie's body was the best container and converter for Honkai energy. Honkai energy could only be stored stably within a Valkyrie's body.

Theresa took over again and added:

However, the price was that the human body serving as the vessel would be constantly eroded by Honkai energy. Their lifespan would also be shortened, causing them to die young.

I already knew that. Could it be that Anti-Entropy's approach is actually the correct one?!

A thought suddenly struck Kiana, and she asked in great surprise.

"Heh, how naïve." The moment she finished speaking, a green comment floated past.

As if it had broken through the dimensional wall, Himeko's following words perfectly picked up where he left off.

Anti-Entropy's utilization rate for Honkai energy has always been lower than Schicksal's. They invested enormous resources and still only achieved a 20% utilization rate, yet they refused to widely use humans as vessels.

Maybe it's because the old man who founded Anti-Entropy was more humane than Schicksal. What a pity...

"..."

Theresa's words immediately afterward dealt a small, inexplicable blow to someone in the Live Stream...

Chapter 53: DuckDuck, Underestimated by a Certain Bishop, Was Also Working Hard

More humane than Schicksal...

More humane than Schicksal...

More humane than...

Otto felt Theresa's sigh echoing endlessly beside his ears, as though she had said it right in front of him.

That... hurt a little too much.

Just as Otto was feeling somewhat downcast because of his relative's jab...

"Does this viewer have something they want to say?"

After Beichen saw the ellipsis Otto had sent float past, he asked teasingly.

But the answer he received was...

"Nothing."

Looking at Otto's comment, he could not help but laugh.

So even the dignified Schicksal Archbishop could get jealous?

Anti-Entropy had broken away from Schicksal, after all. Looking at it that way, was the boss getting jealous of his subordinate?

Haha, who would have thought?

After laughing, Beichen continued clearing the story stages.

The moment he entered Chapter 4, Stage 3, the game brought up combat communications between Himeko and Bronya.

Bronya, we've reached the C7 passage entrance.

Password XCVF. Authentication confirmed. Gate opening.

Bronya did not waste any words and decisively opened the gate.

The door opened! Great!

Kiana made a huge fuss when she saw the door open.

Whether out of caution or distrust of her, Himeko then reminded them:

Be extra careful after entering the building.

Bronya has sent you the building map. Mei is being held in the laboratory on the third floor. Bronya will open the laboratory door there. Please hurry over. Right now, the researchers are preparing to dissect Mei and remove the Herrscher Core from her body.

"Why do I feel like someone has a gun pointed at her while she says this?"

As soon as Bronya finished urging them on, a blood-red comment floated across the screen.

Beichen did not even need to check the list to guess that Black Seele was the one making that sarcastic remark.

All one could say was that she truly was Seele's other side. She dared to think and speak, and her sense of danger far surpassed Seele herself.

"It really does sound like it." Beichen did not expose her and merely brushed it off. "But I think those are probably her true feelings."

"Hehe, then let us wait and see."

Just as the two finished mocking her, Kiana's response appeared on the game screen.

I won't let that happen! Don't worry, we'll rush to the laboratory at full speed right now!

Aaaaaah! Mei, we're coming!!

Along with Kiana's shout, the game entered actual gameplay. Zombies and Honkai Beasts began emerging from the ground again, while Titans started raining down from the sky.

But those monsters were far too weak. Almost none of them could withstand two shots from Ri Duck.

Because the monsters were so fragile, Ri Duck easily pushed forward to a new story point, bringing up combat communications between Himeko and Bronya.

Password GHDDD. Authentication confirmed. Gate opening.

As Bronya recited another password, Himeko then said:

The passage leading to the laboratory has opened.

Normally, Kiana would be extremely happy at a time like this, then say one or two inspiring words.
