Chapter 267

Theresa looked confused on the communication screen, but the next moment, Theresa saw the man standing in front of Freya and the others.

"Grandfather--!!"

Theresa was dumbfounded.

Why is Otto appearing in the communication screen?

As this question arose in her mind, Theresa rushed to Otto's room. When she pushed open the door, Otto was elegantly enjoying afternoon tea.

"Oh, my lovely Theresa, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry..."

"... Freya, is anyone in the room?"

"The room? There's nothing there."

Freya instantly understood the situation and couldn't help but sigh.

She cut off the communication to avoid making Theresa feel even worse.

"Your Excellency, in order to participate in the World Serpent's operation, you even deceived Theresa?"

"My dear Freya, it's not my fault. If you hadn't contacted Theresa, I could have gone back as if nothing had happened. You shattered Theresa's illusions..."

Otto's lips curled up slightly.

"You know, I really enjoy my time with Theresa. If Kallen and I have a child, it will definitely be as gentle and strong as Theresa."

Although his words sounded very gentle, Freya felt a chill in them.

Otto may seem to value family ties, but his relationship with Theresa is more like children playing house; ultimately, his own plans take precedence over everything else.

"Your Majesty Bishop..."

Freya frowned, puzzled as to why Otto was getting involved in this mess.

In order to prevent Otto from causing her trouble, Freya was willing to provide research funding, offer her evolved blood, and even give him her Second Divine Key.

If Otto's goal is simply to revive Kallen, then as long as Otto is given an environment where no one will disturb him, Otto should obediently revive Kallen. After Kallen is revived, the two should obediently have children.

But all of this changed when Otto became involved in the World Serpent's operation.

Otto, who should have maintained absolute neutrality, clearly has a closer relationship with the World Serpent Organization.

"Tsk, you troublemaker bastard!"

Both the three knights who were granted titles and the Dark Rose Squad she secretly formed played a role in this operation, successfully blocking the World Serpent's executives.

The last line of defense for Sea Abyss City was composed of Himeko and Immortal Fu Hua.

Such an unexpected action should not have happened, but they finally underestimated Otto, the king of troublemakers.

Why not just honestly revive Kallen?

"... My lovely Freya, the accident only means that your calculations were not good enough. The success of World Serpent's operation only shows that you failed to have a comprehensive view... When you thought I couldn't do anything, you didn't include me in your calculations because of that preconceived notion."

Otto's answer was correct.

Freya admitted that she hadn't taken Otto into account.

Up until now, she has been shocked by Otto's infatuation and awed by Otto obsession... It is precisely because of this that when Kallen's resurrection experiment is about to be completed.

Although this resurrection experiment is like a computer file transfer getting stuck, the progress bar is currently stuck at 99%.

The resurrection of Kallen is within reach.

Freya still didn't understand why Otto had left Kallen at this time.

For Otto, whose entire life revolved around Kallen, there could be no priority over Kallen.

However, Otto still did not answer.

He seemed to deliberately avoid the topic, never mentioning what he had traded with the leader of the World Serpent.

Just then, Freya, Bishop Otto, Himeko, and Immortal Fu Hua felt a pressure coming from all sides. This pressure quickly spread throughout the entire Sea Abyss City, causing the Sea Abyss City to tremble continuously.

Whether they were standing or lying on the ground, the World Serpent executives all laughed heartily after feeling this pressure.

We won!

This time, the World Serpent won!

The Lord is free!

Long live the World Serpent! Long live the Lord!

At the same time, a huge black serpentine shadow burst forth from the Eye of the Sea Abyss.

Within that massive shadow, the white-haired, blue-eyed man slowly descended, landing beside Otto.

"... Greetings, Grand Bishop of Schicksal."

"Welcome back, Lord of the World Serpent..."

Otto smiled pleasingly, gave an elegant bow, and continued, "I imagine you must have many things to attend to, so please allow me to take my leave."

"Okay, I'll send you the coordinates after things are settled here."

Kevin Kaslana answered calmly.

But he didn't take Otto seriously. In fact, ever since he left the Sea of Quantum, his gaze had never left the girl with her furrowed brows.

"..."

Feeling the gaze of this ancestor upon her, Freya could only watch as Otto calmly left.

Immortal Fu Hua and Himeko, who were standing nearby, tried to stop Otto from leaving, so Freya had no choice but to stand in front of them.

"Let him go. Even if we finish him off here, he'll only be a clone..."

Freya felt quite helpless about this.

Unlike the Gray Serpent's clone, Otto's clone does not have the ability to share memories. Therefore, even if Otto is captured and tortured, Otto will not have access to the clone's memories once the clone dies.

This is also the biggest difference between Otto and Gray Serpent.

"... and there's no way to cause any damage to his physical body."

Even if it only causes a little damage to Otto's spirit, Freya wouldn't mind taking action against Otto in front of her.

Even though he lost one of his clones and Otto's main body couldn't know what was happening in Sea Abyss City, he could still deduce exactly what had happened Sea Abyss City.

Himeko and Immortal Fu Hua were quite annoyed.

Both of them were very dissatisfied with the situation, so they decided to shift their focus to other people.

When Himeko was practically half Herrscher, and Immortal Fu Hua turned their gazes to Kevin, both of them felt a chilling aura emanating from him.

"... Hello, Ancestor, this should be our formal meeting."

Freya greeted Kevin.

Then she glanced at Himeko and Immortal Fu Hua's physical condition, and with a gentle wave of her hand, the portal swallowed the figures of Himeko and Immortal Fu Hua.

"Although this may sound like betraying one's master and ancestors, please forgive me... Please grit your teeth and bear it. The pain will only last for a while. Great Ancestor, please die here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Freya, wearing the Twilight Knight: Moonbeam Armor, unleashed her full power, instantly rushing in front of Kevin, grabbing his neck, and pushing him out of Sea Abyss City.

The sturdy protective shield of Sea Abyss City was like a window paper that could be easily pierced in front of Freya.

Kevin was indeed taken aback for a moment.

He hadn't expected Freya to be so decisive.

Sea Abyss City is located in the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans, with an eleven-kilometer-deep seabed outside the protective shield.

The immense pressure, frigid temperature, and utter darkness from the ocean's deepest depths instantly assaulted the two of them—

Freya abruptly pulled her hand back, then kicked forward.

In the complete darkness of the deep sea, she couldn't see Kevin ahead, but her kick did feel like it hit something.

To be honest, the current environment isn't very suitable for fighting.

The water pressure in the deep sea will more or less affect her movements; for example, the kick she just made was more than half the speed of normal.

However, since both sides are under the same conditions and neither side is human, perhaps such a battlefield is more suitable.

At the same time, the protective shield that had a hole in it began to repair rapidly, but the amount of seawater rushing into Sea Abyss City through the hole was still considerable. The seawater carried planktonic Honkai Beast and deep-sea creatures down, putting pressure on the various defense lines of Sea Abyss City. Many World Serpent executives also took this opportunity to leave the war zone.

Before boarding the submarine, the Raven, covering its head, also made eye contact with Immortal Fu Hua, who had followed them.

There was no deep-seated hatred between the two sides, especially since Kiana and Siegfried were the ones leading the group of cadres away. Tesla was unable to activate her backup plan, and Welt and Ryoma had to let these people leave due to their previous physical injuries.

Cocolia and Shadow Knight, who were held back by the numerous clones of the Gray Serpent, could only watch regretfully as the submarine slowly sank.

"It failed. This time it was a complete failure."

After reuniting with Himeko and Immortal Fu Hua, Welt and the others also learned that World Serpent had achieved its goal.

Although Rita's command gave them an advantage on the main battlefield, the enemy on the main battlefield was ultimately a discarded pawn of World Serpent. Even if the Type-B Valkyrie played a role on the main battlefield, it could not prevent the Valkyrie Type-B Stigmata from sacrificing herself.

Even in the most chaotic places, several Type-B Valkyrie fell.

That was the area where a large number of Emperor-class Honkai Beast and several Type-B Valkyrie were fighting. Everything near that battle area, whether it was the World Serpent fleet, other Honkai Beast, or Valkyrie, couldn't even struggle and simply withered away.

The most chaotic areas have long since become meat grinders, devouring all life.

Welt's sigh was not echoed by Ryoma.

After all, Ryoma was brutally beaten by Siegfried, and defeated in such a way that he had no chance to fight back, which made Ryoma very unwilling.

The ancestral Hokushin Itto-ryu is not weak.

But he couldn't share the stage with Siegfried.

"Never mind, Welt, we didn't expect Otto to cause trouble this time."

Tesla said this after leaving the Anti-Entropy Ark.

Einstein, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly in agreement.

In fact, none of them expected Otto to appear here.

After the alliance formed by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy was officially established and four governor positions were set up, Freya also told Tesla and others the reason why Otto was so obsessive.

That's why they couldn't understand why Otto, who should have been revolving around Kallen, would abandon Kallen and come to Sea Abyss City, and even have some shady deal with Kevin.

"Because for a period of time Otto was diligently researching how to revive Kallen, we overlooked his ability to cause trouble."

Yes.

In Welt's eyes, Otto's appearance this time was just like during the Second Eruption War.

The Second Eruption War could have ended much earlier, but Otto's interference led to an overtime Second Eruption War, nearly causing the destruction of all humanity.

And this time is no different.

The war between the Alliance and the World Serpent is nearing its end.

Under the leadership of Type-B Valkyrie, victory is imminent on the main naval battlefield.

Meanwhile, all the defenses in Sea Abyss City had completed their missions, and even the World Serpent's officers were unable to break through to the final defense line of the Eye of the Sea Abyss.

But who could have imagined that Otto would release Kevin from the Sea of Quantum?

The war, which should have ended, has once again entered overtime.

This time, the Mariana Trench will be the battlefield. Under the terrifying pressure of the deep sea and the cruel low temperature, Freya and Kevin will also have to face the darkness of the deep sea.

People with claustrophobia would definitely say they feel terrible at this point.

After another discussion, Tesla and the others decided to clean up the mess first. Although the battle in Sea Abyss City ended with the Alliance's victory, many Valkyrie were still injured or even killed. Of course, World Serpent left behind even more executives.

The most troublesome thing is that the protective shield, which has not been fully repaired, keeps leaking water, and many Honkai Beasts from the deep sea are crawling into Sea Abyss City through that hole.

"Let's secure Sea Abyss City first, and leave the World Serpent's Lordship to Freya."

Tesla issued the order.

They also sent out the reserve forces from the Anti-Entropy Ark.

Meanwhile, dozens of kilometers away in the Sea Abyss City, Freya and Kevin engaged in battle in this pure black world.

311. It seems we still have to fight tooth and nail...
