Capturing the Soulium Body / The Plan and the Destruction of Schicksal's Reinforcement Fleet

Facing Xilin, who had yet to fully master the power of the five newly acquired Herrscher Cores, it was hardly surprising that Otto could display such formidable strength.

"Xilin, are you all right?"

Using Spell Instant Cast to drive back Otto's combat Soul Steel Body with Battle Spells, Moros rode the Avatar of Death and placed himself before Xilin.

"Nothing. I'm the Honkai Queen—how could anything happen to me?☆"

A glint of golden light flickered in Xilin's eyes before she lifted her head and replied.

Toward Moros, who had saved her several times, the Honkai Queen had shed her former hostility, her words carrying a faint trace of delight.

That would be a complete waste of effort.

Before Schicksal's immense wealth, destroying one of Otto's combat Soul Steel Bodies was as meaningless
