Chapter 165

It took him more than half a year to finally raise the young girl.

No, it is this young girl who has such qualifications.

Perhaps possessing the potential of the true protagonist in the story, Otto was so convinced of his feelings the moment he saw the other person.

If K422 hadn't become the princess who transformed into a dragon, Otto would have even decided to cultivate such a 'hero' using a certain experimental subject.

Isn't it a classic story that a princess who transforms into a dragon is killed by a hero?

A strong sense of destiny drove Otto to want to mentor this young girl.

As it turned out, the young girl didn't need him to do anything extra; her subconscious sense of justice made her interested in the 'princess'.

So, what will this 'hero' choose next?

Will you slay the dragon and marry the princess? Or will you slay the dragon and become a hero?

"You're curious about the adorable Little Princess I've been describing in my stories, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am indeed very curious about the Little Princess in the doctor's story. At least compared to the princess in Jason and Medea's story, this princess in the more fairytale-like story possesses true kindness, gentleness, and courage, and even a willingness to sacrifice herself. I really like her—"

The princess of the Cursed Clan understood her mission. After defeating the evil dragon with the Cursed Clan, in order to prevent further casualties among the Cursed Clan, she sneaked into the dragon's cave alone. At the cost of being covered in wounds, she killed the dragon and bathed in its blood. After that, she transformed into the dragon and appeared before the Cursed Clan.

No, perhaps she didn't realize she had turned into a dragon and just wanted to return to her family.

There are too many ways to interpret this story.

However, Bianca was indeed drawn to the Little Princess in the story.

"If you want to see this Little Princess, I have a way."

Otto picked up a piece of apple and ate it, which drew a surprised look from Bianca.

"Doctor, wasn't this apple peeled for me to eat?"

"Ahem... I'll only eat one piece. Let's get down to business."

Otto quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, you really want me to meet this Little Princess?"

"Yes, all you need to do is become Valkyrie."

Otto answered Bianca's question.

In fact, he wanted to design several more elements, ideally assigning Bianca a personal mentor; Laguna from the Assault Team would be a perfect fit...

Otto was aware of Laguna's philosophy, and in fact, even the Little Princess he was raising was positively influenced by Laguna.

Otto was actually very curious about what kind of impact Laguna's accident would have on his adorable Little Princess.

However... even if you want to create an accident, there isn't a suitable target.

After all, her adorable Little Princess had cleared out almost all the Honkai battlefields outside the cities occupied by Honkai Beast, which was why most of the Valkyrie stationed on the Honkai battlefields were able to evacuate.

Honkai Beast will not appear again for at least the time being.

Meanwhile, the Conservatives of Anti-Entropy has fully cooperated with Schicksal, and World Serpent is so afraid to show its face because of its adorable Little Princess.

Honestly, that's really impressive.

Otto didn't think he could do such a thing. It can only be said that Welt and the Gray Serpent underestimated the Little Princess, which is why they fell into her trap.

"To become Valkyrie... does that mean the Doctor is a key figure in Schicksal?"

"A big shot? Heh, I don't even know if I count as a big shot."

A smile appeared on Otto's face.

Now that the hero is ready, he can confidently proceed with the next experiment.

A member of the secret unit recently planted in the World Serpent Organization brought him some interesting intelligence, such as the fact that the Second Divine Key is hidden in Britain.

Unfortunately, he is currently unable to mobilize the power of Schicksal.

Otto was certain that if he dared to appear under the nose of his adorable Little Princess, she would arrest him under the guise of protection.

"However, becoming Valkyrie depends on your own efforts, and I can only recommend you to the preparatory school."

The Valkyrie selection system in Schicksal has been changed.

The Little Princess, who became the Acting Grand Bishop, did not want to continue the old selection system.

Although the new selection system will extend the Valkyrie's time as a candidate and trainee, the Type-B Stigmata are sufficient to compensate for the lack of combat power.

Schicksal used to treat Valkyrie as expendable resources. Rather than a system for selecting Valkyrie, it was more like an assembly line for rapidly producing expendable resources. Those who met the minimum standards were directly approved for modification surgery, and those who survived became D-rank Valkyrie and then followed B-rank Valkyrie.

Many Valkyrie often die on the Honkai battlefield at the D-rank stage.

The new Valkyrie selection system begins at the academy established in the Far East, where her beloved granddaughter Theresa is apparently running a St. Freya affiliated kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school...

To be honest, Otto would have been very interested in the Type-B Stigmata created by K422 if it weren't for the fact that he would be caught if he stood out.

He also regretted leaving Schicksal to some extent.

But some things can only be seen clearly when one leaves behind Schicksal.

Moreover, if he hadn't left his Schicksal and hadn't relinquished power to this extent for his Little Princess, perhaps she wouldn't have achieved such success.

Otto is curious whether the girl, who is deeply favored by the Honkai, is a coincidence or a conspiracy by the Honkai Consciousness.

Otto couldn't be sure if the care he showed to K422 at the time was influenced by the Honkai.

It is important to understand that Honkai has the ability to manipulate the mind and consciousness.

The manifestations of Honkai are not limited to viruses and natural disasters; it can also ignite deep-seated desires within people, thereby fueling conflicts and triggering wars.

It is said that the extremists who launched the war were influenced by the Honkai.

However, the 'hero' he found possessed Honkai Energy he came into contact with, just like the Kaslana Family's so-called absolute Honkai resistance.

Otto didn't know if it was a coincidence, but such a destiny was indeed very interesting.

Perhaps his fairy tale could be continued like this: after appearing before the cursed race, the evil dragon princess flapped her wings and flew away. She flew for three days and three nights and stopped at a lake, where the hero happened to witness her transformation back into human form.

So, what will be the ending of the story of the princess and the hero traveling together?

184. His brain got caught in an ultra-hard metal door.

Otto quietly pushed forward with his plan.

What kind of sparks will fly when the hero meets the evil dragon princess?

Otto was also interested in Schicksal, which was led by the Little Princess he had raised, and was very curious whether Schicksal would achieve glory or perish under her leadership.

After leaving the ward, Otto went deep underground in the hospital, where a blonde woman was displayed on a large screen.

She is a former female officer in the Russian army, now an executor of Anti-Entropy, a collaborator of the World Serpent, and a direct subordinate of the Acting Grand Bishop Schicksal.

He is also recognized as a multi-faceted spy by the three major organizations.

"Otto, the data collection is complete."

"Really? Let me see."

His adjutant, Amber, manipulated a virtual keyboard, projecting the collected data into the air. In the dimly lit underground laboratory, the blonde woman's information came into Otto Apocalypse's view.

"Oh, I see. No wonder..."

Otto quietly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile full of pleasure.

"A former Russian military officer, imprisoned for slandering her superior, had a husband and daughter, but both of them tragically died during the Second Eruption War. So, did she overlap her daughter's image with those survivors?"

Otto's interest in this blonde woman stemmed from her unusual stance.

The fact that she was recognized as a multi-faceted spy shows that she did indeed transmit accurate intelligence to the World Serpent. If she had been too biased towards Schicksal, she would not have been able to achieve this effect.

"My lovely K422 wants her to be an intelligence merchant with an absolutely neutral stance, right?"

Otto knew he was being closely watched, but he wasn't worried about being exposed. After all, his true body was hidden in a very secret place, and the mere Soul Steel clone was just a repository for his consciousness. Even if he lost this Soul Steel clone, he would only lose the part of the Soul Steel clone's memories that hadn't been synchronized back.

Otto wanted new intelligence channels.

Even if most of his direct subordinates remain in the Schicksal, if he uses it too often, his position will be exposed sooner or later.

Although he didn't regret his Soul Steel clone, Otto had no intention of sacrificing himself.

With his plans progressing so smoothly, he wouldn't mind playing a game of hide-and-seek with the adorable Little Princess and the cute Avengers.

Cocolia is a great starting point.

"... Amber, mobilize a secret force to collect DNA from Cocolia and her daughter. We should be able to extract it from the umbilical cord that Cocolia is keeping. By the way, don't let my lovely Little Princess find out."

"Yes, Otto."

Otto turned his gaze to the side, and there stood two white-haired girls dressed in Nun's habit beside the underground laboratory.

They have the same appearance and voice as Theresa, and are clones of Theresa from the A-Series.

Unlike Theresa, who was born with a strong sense of self, the other A-Series clones have no self-awareness and completely obey all of Otto's commands.

In fact, Otto commanded several secret forces composed of clones from the A-Series.

Okay, he admits he has a lot of secret troops.

"So, what big moves will my lovely Little Princess make next... However, the idea of her consciousness residing in the Herrscher Core is quite interesting. Perhaps after my lovely Little Princess has come into contact with Judah, she can take Judah back..."

Otto has never stopped paying attention to the K422, which keeps surprising him.

He deployed a large number of surveillance devices, from biological to micro-monitors. Although most of them were destroyed due to the enemy's strange friendly assessment of anti-Honkai wave, they still provided Otto with extremely important intelligence.

Otto's gaze fell on the two clones who were waiting for orders.

The corners of his mouth gradually curved into a smile.

Freya, unaware that she has become the evil dragon princess in a fairy tale, continues to throw a tantrum in her own consciousness.

"Xiao Er..."

"Snort."

Freya pulled her innocent-looking younger sister over as a shield.

"Now that you've taken over, you should cultivate a group of loyal subordinates, and try to select people whose ideas differ from Kevin's... You can have Gray Serpent talk to Cocolia about the people I've captured, and I'll allow World Serpent to ransom them."

Despite her emotional outburst, Freya still offered advice.

Kiana looked awkwardly at Aurora, whose face was completely innocent. Aurora's cute little face looked even more innocent as she blinked her big, watery eyes at Kiana.

In fact, Aurora also hopes that Kiana will come back soon.

She was on Freya's side.

"Okay, I will arrange for Gray Serpent to talk to Cocolia."

"You should make good use of your identity as the real Kiana. Gray Serpent should know some inside information. You can let him use that to attack me..."

"That's fine, but I don't want you to get hurt."

"... Then hurry back." Freya, who was using Aurora as a shield, didn't want to see Kiana's face.

She worried that if she saw Kiana's face, she wouldn't be able to resist waging a full-scale war against World Serpent.

"To win over those Great Ancestor?"

"Well, the members of World Serpent can be said to be followers of Kevin Kaslana. After all, the leader has been away for a long time. If Gray Serpent wants to promote itself and unite the organization, it can either use the technology of the Previous Civilization as bait or give up most of its benefits. This is also why many high-ranking people in World Serpent were unwilling to leave with them when they were being hunted down, preferring to expose their identities and fight to the death with Schicksal."

If Schicksal did not have her as Acting Grand Bishop and Theresa as Grand Bishop's Aide, Otto would have gradually exposed the same problems if he had been missing for a long time.

Organizations like Anti-Entropy have seen their Alliance Leader act freely for a long time, leading to growing disagreements within the organization. To this day, Conservatives and Reformists still disagree.

Of course, this is also related to the management system of Anti-Entropy itself.

The system of enforcers is too easily split into various factions due to differences of opinion.

Just as the Reformists at this time were divided into Reformists of Schicksal and Reformists who rejected the Mandate of Schicksal.

Although the former had been persecuted by Otto, he was able to think calmly and knew that the current ruler of Mandate of Schicksal was no longer that bastard Otto.

Among the latter are researchers who have suffered greatly from Otto's persecution, national leaders who are simply unhappy with the Mandate of Schicksal, and selfish individuals who covet the Mandate of Schicksal's position. Therefore, even if the rulers of the Mandate of Schicksal change, they still do not want to cooperate with the Mandate of Schicksal.

Among them were several Executors who attempted to collaborate with Cocolia to clone the first First Herrscher Welt Joyce.

Of course, among these executors are members of the World Serpent whose identities have not yet been revealed.
