Chapter 308
At this moment, Kiana's anger towards the culprit was like a powder keg, ready to ignite at any moment.
Kiana: "Damn it!!!"
Kiana: "So angry, so angry! I'm still so angry! I can't take it anymore, Otto, I'm definitely going to beat you up today!"
Anger burned within me, and my blood boiled in my veins.
Kiana pushed off the ground with both feet, burst open the dormitory door, and ran towards the Schicksal Headquarters. The Gluttony Cells in her body felt unprecedented pressure, and her metabolism Infinity approaching its physical limit.
The physical attributes of S-rank Valkyrie.
All the accumulated progress she had made over the years had been exhausted, and at this moment, Kiana surpassed her limits.
Without relying on the Valkyrie Armor, her physical attributes have already reached the level of S-rank Valkyrie.
The girl's figure transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.
Raiden Mei: "Kiana!"
Himeko Murata: "Wait, Theresa, stop her!"
Things happened so fast that Himeko Murata didn't even have time to react. When she came to her senses, all she saw was Kiana's back.
He stormed the Schicksal Headquarters all by himself, and even fought his way in head-on.
Himeko Murata was extremely anxious; if she could catch up, she would have wanted to bring Kiana back right now.
Theresa: "I... I can't outrun her!"
The headmaster, holding Judah, stamped his feet in frustration, and could only watch helplessly as Kiana rashly ran to the Schicksal Headquarters.
Bronya: "Class monitor, you..."
Fu Hua: "Okay, I'll go right away and bring Kiana back safely."
The Herrscher of Reason: "Wait! I'll go, I'll go! You Old Timer, you haven't even recovered yet, how can you compare to me? Let me go!"
Little Senti volunteered and, before Fu Hua could speak, transformed into Nagamitsu and flashed past, closely following Kiana's footsteps.
Raiden Mei stood there hesitating for a long time, watching the two disappear into the distance. Finally, she gritted her teeth, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and chased after them.
Otto: "Sigh, are kids these days so impatient?"
Theresa: "Grandpa, how dare you say that? If it weren't for that damn plan of yours, would things have turned out like this?"
Otto: "Everyone has things they must do, wishes they want to fulfill, and destinations they are destined to reach, for which they are willing to pay any price. My dear granddaughter, you would never understand me."
Bishop Otto couldn't help but shake his head.
To reach one's ideal destination, one must pay a price far too high... betraying justice, betraying one's original self.
But if he could fulfill that tragic wish, he believed that at the end of his life he would still wear a victorious smile and call out Kallen's name.
Then say emphatically that it was worth it.
Otto: "So Durandal, now that you've seen my true colors, do you still acknowledge me? Do you still decide... to support me?"
Durandal: "Your Grace, if you mention releasing the Herrscher of the Void, I will stop you. But until then, I remain the Valkyrie of Schicksal, bound only by my principles and my mission to protect humanity."
Otto: "Hahaha, that's it, Durandal, you truly are my most prized student."
Valkyrie understands right from wrong and can distinguish between good and evil is what humanity needs to defeat the Honkai.
Otto: "It's a bit of a pity about Himeko Murata. If she had received her Stigmata earlier, she probably would have already become S-rank Valkyrie."
Himeko Murata: "Perhaps. I know my own body best. If Bishop Otto were to offer me a subsidy based on the standards for S-rank Valkyrie, I'd be happy to accept."
Otto: "Oh? So you don't hate me?"
Himeko Murata: "Bishop, please don't joke around. My situation wasn't caused by you."
Teacher Himeko understood that her death was because she wanted to save Kiana, which was the duty of Valkyrie.
Otto's mistake was that he captured Kiana, causing the Herrscher of the Void to awaken.
And they plotted against Fu Hua, allowing the Herrscher of the Void to escape.
Himeko Murata: "But Bishop Otto, if you still attack my student, I will certainly draw my sword against you again."
Otto: "Spare me! There are three Herrscher eyeing me right now; I'm clearly the victim."
Himeko Murata: "Hmm?"
Three Herrscher? Could it be referring to Kiana, the Herrscher of Reason, and Raiden Mei who just ran past?
Weren't those two supposed to be stopping Kiana?
Wait! Could it be...?
The Herrscher of Reason: "This distance is sufficient!"
As the Herrscher of Reason finished speaking, a crimson feather shone brightly in her hand.
The power of the Herrscher of Reason, combined with the power of the Fenghuang Down, is enough to pull the consciousness of an entire region from the Schicksal Headquarters into the illusion, across thousands of mountains and rivers.
Chapter 502 A Three-Pronged Strategy
At the Schicksal Headquarters, a crimson feather fell, and crimson light unfolded, forming a huge barrier that pulled everyone inside into an illusion.
Rita, Amber, Durandal, and Otto stared wide-eyed.
Rita instinctively reacted to defend herself, and a figure flashed past her in an instant.
Before anyone could react, Kiana's fist had already reached Otto's face, slamming heavily into Otto cheek.
--Click.
The sound of Soulium shattering.
Kiana's hand trembled slightly as she slammed her full-force punch into the reinforced Soulium, yet she felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
Amber: "Bishop Otto!"
Amber turned her head, Otto had already slowly stood up. It seemed that the punch was not fatal, which made Amber breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that His Holiness the Bishop is still alive.
Those Herrscher of Reason: "You see? This is what they call 'evil begets evil'!"
Little Senti clapped his hands, feeling a great sense of satisfaction.
Raiden Mei, a young lady from a prominent family, hesitated. Such a scene of fighting and killing was still too violent for a young lady like her.
Seeing that Kiana was still about to continue hitting people, Raiden Mei quickly grabbed her shoulder, her eyes filled with worry.
Raiden Mei: "Kiana, is your hand alright?"
Kiana: "Tsk... It's nothing, just a little painful. Damn it, Otto's face is so hard!"
Raiden Mei: "You said you were fine? Look, your fist is all swollen."
With a scolding tone, Raiden Mei grabbed Kiana's reddened fist, only to find that it was recovering at a visible speed.
Kiana: "See? I told you I was fine. My recovery speed is fast enough; I could take dozens more punches without a problem!"
Mobius: "Not relying on the Hypervariable Factor, but merely the body's own self-healing? Miss Kiana, I'm becoming more and more interested in you."
Kiana: "Hey! No way?"
She just beat up Otto, how come she's already being targeted by Mobius?
Kiana was starting to panic.
Otto: "Three times hardened Soulium shattered with a single punch? That's quite an exaggeration. Miss Kiana, you've done your job, are you satisfied now?"
Otto patted the debris off his face; the sudden punch still throbbed with pain.
Kiana: "Stop talking nonsense! You think this is all? One punch isn't enough! I'm going to smash your dog head in!"
Kiana walked towards Otto step by step, her approach aggressive.
Seeing this, the Herrscher of Reason nearby clapped his hands in alarm.
Raiden Mei stood in front of Kiana and Rita, fearing that Kiana's anger might lead to the involvement of innocent people.
Otto: "Rita, uh... Durandal, shouldn't you be protecting me right now?"
Rita felt as if she had been struck by a thousand blows. Was the bishop implying that she was of little use?
Durandal: "Um... Your Excellency, you taught me that everything has its price, and in my opinion, this little bit of pain is nothing to you."
Should she stop Kiana when she's angry?
Durandal hesitated for two seconds, then instantly stepped aside.
First of all, she wasn't biased towards anyone, and it's impossible for her to betray Otto just because she felt close to Kiana.
He simply felt that with that monster, the Herrscher of Reason, still nearby, he might not be able to withstand a direct attack.
In order to preserve the dignity of the Mandate of Schicksal, she had no choice but to let Bishop Otto bear the entire burden.
Otto: "So I'm all alone now?"
No, perhaps there's another Amber facing her.
However, given the current situation, with three Herrscher on the other side, Amber, an administrative staff member, seems to be of little use.
Otto slowly closed his eyes, and a gust of wind from a punch swept towards his face, the immense force sending Otto flying backward.
Then two punches, three punches, four punches...
Kiana pinched Otto's face with one hand and clenched her other fist, repeatedly slamming it against Otto's face.
Amber: "Lady Durandal, isn't this a bit too cruel to the bishop?"
Durandal: "Hmm, that's too cruel."
Rita: "I dare not look, I dare not look."
The Herrscher of Reason, "It's too bloody; it will definitely frighten children."
Raiden Mei: "Kiana, go easy on me, don't hurt your fist."
Amber:"..."
Well, it looks like the Bishop is going to have to destroy another Soulium body.
I wonder if, within the consciousness space created by the Herrscher of Reason, if the Soulium is damaged, it will also shatter in reality.
Welt: "Teacher Himeko, how does it feel to have a student willing to stand up for you?"
Himeko Murata: "Ahem."
How are you feeling?
Seeing how much the students care about me, as a teacher, it must be a very pleasant feeling.
However, Welt was even more delighted at this moment. After so many years of being at odds with Otto, this was the first time he had seen Otto suffer such a great loss.
Pop the champagne! Pop the champagne! We'll pop the champagne when we get back!
Kiana's fists continued to fall, one after another, until Otto's Soulium Scythe Egg was completely shattered, and the illusion vanished completely.
Otto: "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! How strange, why can I still feel pain even though I've changed bodies?"
Welt: "From a medical perspective, this is a side effect of memory loss, Bishop Otto. I suggest you see a doctor. I know of a professional medical clinic in Anti-Entropy that offers comprehensive services."
Otto: "I never knew Anti-Entropy offered funeral services. This is quite an eye-opener."
Memory sequelae?
Otto reached out and patted his face; the sensation traveled through his nerves, and the pain disappeared.
Otto: "Durandal said something very good just now: everything has a price. How about I give the Vermilion Knight: Eclipse to Major Himeko as an apology?"
Himeko Murata: "Really?"
Otto: "Bishop of Schicksal, you keep your word."
Firstly, it can slightly improve one's image in the eyes of others.
Although the Flame-Chasers didn't say anything about Himeko Murata's matter, Otto could guess that his actions of releasing the Herrscher were not very pleasing.
Especially for the Flame-Chasers, whose Previous Era was destroyed by the Herrscher, they are here to release the Herrscher.
Secondly, Schicksal, or perhaps the world truly needs another powerful Valkyrie.
