Chapter 295

Durandal: "Fu Hua, you wouldn't have... done that to His Holiness the Archbishop..."

Fu Hua: "No, we just caught up for a while."

Immortal Crimson Bird couldn't help but sigh. Why were these people always thinking about fighting and killing? Did they think he was the kind of person who liked to solve problems with violence?

Although beating up Otto to Kiana's anger wouldn't be out of the question, Fu Hua held back.

When it comes to reasoning with Otto, she ultimately falls short.

Sue: "Was it that bishop who asked you something, Hua?"

Fu Hua: "I can't hide it from you, Su."

There was nothing to hide, Fu Hua readily nodded and admitted it.

Theresa: "No way, Fu Hua, you didn't actually tell my grandfather our secret, did you?"

Fu Hua: "No, Otto asked me why I went to save Raiden Mei, and I just told him the truth."

Moreover, before leaving, he kindly helped them break free from the illusion.

Right now, Otto is probably deep in thought at Schicksal Headquarters, trying to decipher the hidden meaning in her words.

Raiden Mei: "The reason you saved me? Is there anything else we can deduce from that?"

Elysia: "Su, what do you think?"

Sue: "Based on my limited understanding of that bishop, he should be able to deduce part of it, but some truths are too incredible. Even for him, it's probably just a matter of seeing the moon's reflection in the water or looking at flowers through the fog."

Whether it's the existence of the Death Space or the Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era, both have defied common sense and the existing scientific understanding of the Imaginary Law.

Otto could detect the anomaly in Fu Hua's words, but how much he could glean from that anomaly remained unknown.

Durandal: "Actually, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to tell His Holiness the Bishop our secret."

Kiana: "No way, Durandal, Lady Durandal, you can't just make us work like this!"

The Himeko looked pitiful, like a little puppy about to be abandoned, almost begging for Durandal's help.

Durandal: "I simply believe that since the Flame-Chasers of the Previous Era are united in their efforts to combat the Honkai, we have no reason to let our guard down any longer."

Of Flame-Chasers, what touched Durandal the most was the difficulty of overcoming the Honkai.

She is neither a trial nor a test, but simply an embrace of human civilization by the vast universe.

However, this also proves how difficult it is to overcome the Honkai; what they are experiencing now is not even the tip of the iceberg.

Kiana: "But Otto isn't entirely focused on fighting the Honkai either."

Durandal: "Regardless of his intentions, Bishop Otto's actions over the past five hundred years have at least lived up to his title as Bishop of Schicksal."

The current global situation is clear: the frontline fighting force protecting the world is the Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Anti-Entropy originated from a split from Schicksal, and it has a weak foundation and is currently facing severe internal conflicts, with Conservative Faction and Radical Faction locked in a deadly struggle.

Before the internal contradictions of Anti-Entropy are resolved, it is the kind of organization that is not very easy to support.

Needless to say, World Serpent was nothing more than a mysterious underground organization before Kevin's birth, let alone capable of fighting against the Honkai.

Gray Serpent: "So you're talking about circumstances, not intentions? Then I agree with you, little girl. At least in the last five hundred years, it was the Valkyrie of Schicksal, not World Serpent, who contributed to the fight against the Honkai."

There are only three major powers, and judging from their performance, the only one we can truly place our hopes on is the Schicksal led by Otto.

The World Serpent might be able to rival it and create extraordinary miracles, but only after Kevin returns.

As for Anti-Entropy... we'll leave that aside for now.

Welt: "Uh, is Anti-Entropy really as bad as you guys say?"

As the Anti-Entropy Leader and a potential spy for the St. Freya Academy, Welt felt it necessary to vindicate Anti-Entropy.

Durandal: "What do you think, Mr. Welt?"

Welt: "..."

Okay, Cocolia is still causing trouble on the surface, while Tesla and the others, being Conservative Faction, are taking too small a step and can't keep up with the pace of the Honkai.

Welt himself didn't know how Anti-Entropy should develop.

[Chat Group is expanding; congratulations to Archbishop of Schicksal Otto for joining the Chat Group.]

The sudden notification pulled everyone back from their thoughts, turning them into a bewildered and astonished exclamation.

Chapter 481 S-rank Valkyrie Gatekeeper

[Congratulations to Amber, the Schicksal Secretary, for joining the Chat Group.]

[Congratulations to Rita, the vice-captain of the Immortal Blades Schicksal and S-rank Valkyrie Gatekeeper, for joining the Chat Group.]

Kiana: "Oh no! How did Otto get in? We're totally exposed now!"

The continuous stream of messages chilled Kiana to the bone; all the key members of Schicksal had joined the Chat Group.

Rita and Amber are definitely on Otto's side.

However, she and Durandal had been together for so long and were as close as sisters, Durandal had even agreed to lend her her power.

At least their strongest Valkyrie is on her side, right?

Otto: "Oh? Kiana Kaslana? So, my old friend, you're here too, right?"

The messages from the Chat Group flooded his mind, and Otto absorbed them as quickly as possible, guessing that Fu Hua and Raiden Mei's unusual behavior probably stemmed from the Chat Group he had encountered.

Fu Hua: "I've run into you again, Otto."

Theresa: "I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect Grandpa to arrive so soon. Sigh."

Otto: "Theresa's here too. Aren't you going to explain this to your dear grandfather?"

Theresa remained silent.

She could be cute and charming with her ruthless grandfather most of the time, but when his secret was discovered, she felt more fear than anything else.

Amber: "Your Excellency, and Lady Durandal is also here. Is this why Lady Durandal deliberately avoided the battle with the Herrscher of Thunder?"

Durandal: "Uh, actually I mainly wanted Raiden Mei to help refine the members of the Immortal Blades."

The reason Durandal was absent was that he encountered the Anti-Entropy forces while on vacation.

She had thought she could get away with it, but she didn't expect to be exposed.

Rita: "I see. Thank you for showing mercy, Lady Durandal, and Miss Herrscher of Thunder."

Ultimately, she was still S-rank Valkyrie by Schicksal. After Durandal explained, Rita instantly guessed the whole story.

There was just one thing that puzzled her.

Rita: "I wonder what this Chat Group is all about, and what's the meaning of this so-called S-rank Valkyrie Gatekeeper?"

Rita felt deeply offended.

Does "S-rank Valkyrie Gatekeeper" mean she's the weakest S-rank Valkyrie?

Theresa: "Uh..."

Durandal: "Ahem, I don't know that. Actually, this is the first time I've heard of such a statement."

Otto: "So, you mean, as long as you defeat Rita, you can become an S-rank Valkyrie? Amber, do you think Schicksal needs to change the criteria for evaluating Valkyrie?"

Amber: "Uh... if Lady Rita doesn't mind."

From the perspective of the chief secretary of Schicksal, or the housekeeper, Amber really wanted to agree to this plan.

After all, it can save a lot of money that would otherwise be used to assess S-rank Valkyrie.

Rita: "Bishop Otto, please don't make such a joke."

A faint sense of murderous intent permeated the Chat Group.

Otto: "Don't mind Rita, I was just trying to lighten the mood. After all, we might be witnessing a group of great and noble people soon."

Otto: "I'm about to meet these wise men who sacrificed themselves to light the way for future generations. Don't you think so, my old friend?!"

Otto's arms were trembling.

The old friend Fu Hua spoke of, and the Elysian Realm Raiden Mei spoke of—two threads intertwined and connected in his mind, forming a single thread pointing to the most unlikely miracle.

Otto knew this was an absurd possibility.

Unbelievable!

But at this moment, Otto's body was trembling. If his guess was correct, it would mean that a new possibility and a shortcut to realizing his long-cherished wish were laid out before him!

Fifty Thousand Years!

That's a miracle that takes Fifty Thousand Years to achieve!

Otto knew full well that what he sought was merely a short five hundred years, nothing more than a firefly in the face of that absurd miracle, so insignificant.

Fu Hua: "..."

Sue: "Forget it, Hua. This bishop does indeed possess extraordinary talent and the magnanimity befitting the position. He is not an enemy."

Elysia: "Su, you actually think so highly of Bishop Otto?"

Sue: "I was just speaking the truth based on my inner thoughts. After all, I've glimpsed the bishop's mind and understand his past and resolve."

Otto: "Hahaha, hahahaha, I'm so glad to receive such high praise from you, Pioneer. I thought you wouldn't welcome me since I'm new here."

It's confirmed.

Bodhi, one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, had a brief encounter with Schicksal when they were exploring the Sea of Quanta.

Otto's dream could be realized by reaching the other side of the Imaginary; this answer was also given to Otto by Suto Durandal.

Otto was incredibly excited, eager to uncover the secret behind the Flame-Chasers' appearance here, and even wanted to master the miracle of reversing time in the next moment.

But years of experience had ultimately led him to suppress all his thoughts.

Su: "Let's just discuss the matter at hand. I strongly agree with something Durandal said earlier: fighting the Honkai is a great undertaking for all humanity. The world needs a unified voice."

Previous Era suffered from this problem.

Although the Fire Moth has developed into a global organization, there are simply too many voices within it, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as fragmented.

An organization that cannot reach a consensus and has a decisive decision-maker will inevitably expose its flaws sooner or later.

The Schicksal suppressed the world for hundreds of years, and the Valkyrie protected the world for hundreds of years; Otto's Artificial Stigmata played an indispensable role in this.

Otto: "I see. To be fair, my respect for those pioneers has only grown stronger. But Theresa, it seems you have quite a misunderstanding about Grandpa."

Otto was unaware of what had happened during that time.

Theresa knew him all too well. As his personally groomed heir and granddaughter, it was only natural that she would be somewhat wary of him because of his educational policies.

But in any case, it doesn't rise to the level of dislike or even irreconcilable enmity, does it?

Did something happen during that time that he was unaware of?

Theresa: "Hmph! No matter what, Grandpa, you shouldn't have laid a hand on my students."

Otto: "Student? Oh... I mean K423."

Kiana: "Otto, you!!!"

I couldn't take it anymore. Otto actually said it so casually, and even called her K423.

Kiana wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face.

Elysia: "Bishop Otto, Kiana is our friend. Calling her K423 is really impolite."

Chapter 482 Where was Otto killed?

Theresa: "Grandpa! Even if Kiana is a clone, she's a complete person now, with her own friends and family! Calling her by her number is just too much!"

Otto: "I apologize, that was my oversight. After all, the name Kiana is somewhat unfamiliar to me. I apologize for my behavior just now, Miss Kiana."

In the end, his beloved granddaughter, whom he had so painstakingly raised, completely broke off their relationship because of her feelings for a clone?

Although Otto had planned this all along, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Theresa now baring her teeth and claws at him.

Ultimately, they protected Theresa too well; she's still just a child.

Kiana: "You!"
