Chapter 65

Bronya: "Damn it, you idiot Kiana, just you wait, don't give me the chance to make fun of you."

She's still growing, so if you give Bronya enough time, she'll definitely grow taller one day!

She remembered this grudge!

[In the scene, the atmosphere in the cabin remains oppressive. Theresa wants to rekindle everyone's energy, but unfortunately, the shadows buried deep in their hearts cannot be dispelled by a few words.]

Theresa ...

"What's wrong, Joachim?"

"I know you want us to cheer up, but you don't have to force yourself to take on the responsibility of comforting us. Karel is gone, and everyone needs some time, including you."

Joachim kept his head down.

The loss of their companion was a burden for each of them, but Theresa had to force a smile and force herself to smile.

"..."

Theresa put down her spoon and lowered her head.

"Joachim, are you really no longer considering that matter?"

"I understand, but I've made up my mind." Joachim shook his head.

"Let's eat."

Joachim didn't want to elaborate on the topic, and Theresa understood his predicament, so they could only leave it at that.

Just then Father Otto walked in. "Hmm? Is everyone eating?"

"Father, you've changed your clothes, are you going to town?"

Winter is almost here, and I want to go to the grocery store to buy more ingredients.

Father Otto pointed to the heavy snow outside the window.

Theresa, would you like some bitter melon pancakes?

"I want to eat, I want to eat! I want some hot bitter melon pancakes, I love Father the most!" Theresa nodded happily.

"Haha, I'll buy a few more so we can all eat them together."

"The priest's bitter melon cakes can't be shared; no one can bring themselves to eat them, and they all end up in Theresa's stomach."

Joachim said from the side.

Most of the children in the orphanage still prefer sweets, and they simply cannot accept things like bitter melon cakes.

"Haha, that's true. By the way, Joachim, Mrs. Lieserl is coming to pick you up tomorrow. Have you packed your luggage?"

"Not yet." Joachim shook his head.

"Go and get ready. Say goodbye to everyone properly today, so you don't have any regrets. I'm leaving now, so the housework is yours, Theresa."

"Take care on the road, Father."

Theresa served food to the young children one by one, and then began to tidy up the toys scattered around.

Outside the door, amidst a vast expanse of snow and ice, Father Otto's figure walked further and further away until he disappeared into the white snow, and the scene ended.

The Herrscher of Reason: "It seems that although Otto genuinely cares for those children, Father Otto doesn't seem to be doing very well."

Himeko Murata: "It's not just that they're not doing well; they're worlds apart from our Bishop Otto."

Compared to Archbishop of Schicksal Otto, who wields immense power and whose every decision makes the heads of major powers tremble, Father Otto is indeed not doing so well.

However, judging from his appearance, he seems to be enjoying it and has found meaning in life in the orphanage.

Kiana: "World Bubble are truly amazing. Even though we're the same people, our life trajectories are completely different. I wonder what I'd be like in other World Bubble."

Theresa: "Hehe, maybe in some world, I'll become the Bishop of Schicksal, leading humanity against the Honkai, and then achieving victory."

Kiana: "Auntie, give up. Didn't you see your own World Bubble during the Project Ring? There were Theresa everywhere, the world was destroyed."

Theresa: "Ah!!! Don't mention Theresa again!"

The former Bishop of Schicksal abdicated, plunging the world into a devastating catastrophe.

The Dean still remembers that line. Could it be that she really is the one who inherits the position of Bishop of Schicksal, and then she messes up the world?

Chapter 105 Durandal Joins the Chat Group

Elysia: "I suddenly have an idea. Since Father Otto has proven that Bishop Otto has the potential to become a good person, why can't you try to find the key point and then change him?"

Himeko Murata: "You mean, make Bishop Otto become Father Otto?"

Elysia: "You can't say that. One person can't become another. I'm just saying that you can awaken the kind side of Otto's heart."

No matter when or where, Elysia believes in the goodness of humanity, human love, and the potential of humanity.

In Father Otto, she saw the brilliance of humanity and the nobility of character.

Therefore, Elysia is willing to believe that the other party has the potential to repent and the right to start over.

Bronya: "But we don't even know Bishop Otto's purpose yet, how are we supposed to find his weakness?"

Theresa: "The main problem is that my grandfather was too secretive. Nobody knew what he was thinking or what his purpose was."

Fu Hua: "I never truly understood Otto, but when I first met him, he was a person with a strong sense of justice and love."

The Immortal Crimson Bird once again thought back to the day of the Schicksal's Eastern Crusade's Eastern Expedition.

Perhaps it was from that day on, when he spared Kallen and Otto's lives and let them return to Schicksal, that Otto's life began to veer off course.

The Herrscher of Reason, "You Old Timer, you're too soft-hearted! If you'd known things would turn out this way, you should have killed him during the Schicksal's Eastern Crusade Expedition!"

Fu Hua: "Little Senti, you're using the result to deduce the process, which is completely flawed."

How could the Immortal Crimson Bird have known that the blond man she released, the one who risked everything for his beloved Otto, would become the current Bishop of Schicksal?

Furthermore, she didn't believe that killing Otto was the best option.

Firstly, the Immortal Crimson Bird possessed a pure and sincere heart, and killing Otto and Kallen at that time went against her conscience.

Secondly, Otto's achievements over the past five hundred years are indelible.

[Chat Group is expanding... Congratulations to Durandal for joining the Chat Group.]

Theresa: "Durandal?!"

Fu Hua: "..."

Kiana: "Oh no, this is terrible, this is terrible!"

The Himeko had never met Durandal, but it knew that she was Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, which meant that this person could very well be Otto's spy!

It's all over, it's all over!

St. Freya Academy is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, even more intense than when Mei revealed that Otto had once visited the St. Freya Academy.

Elysia: "Look how excited you all are! It's great to have new people joining us, welcome, welcome!"

Pardofelis: "Welcome newcomer, post your photo in the group."

Raiden Mei: "Durandal, run! There's a nasty woman here who likes to touch your horns and ears. Uninstall the Chat Group right now!"

Durandal: "... Lady Theresa, aren't you going to explain the current situation to me?"

Schicksal Headquarters

The strongest S-rank Valkyrie was still sweating it out in the training field, while the Valkyrie around her collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Training with Durandal is an honor for every Valkyrie, because she is the strongest Valkyrie, the most iconic S-Rank character, and countless Valkyrie dream of going on missions with her.

At the same time, training with Durandal is also a very unfortunate thing.

The Schicksal is the strongest is not without foundation.

If it weren't for the possibility that some monster who has been immersed in the Sea of Quanta for too long might return, or that some newly born 50,000-year-old child might be too monstrous, then even if we look at the whole world, there would be no one who could surpass Durandal.

If an ordinary Valkyrie trained with her and tried to catch up with her, it would be like walking through the gates of hell.

The Valkyrie lying haphazardly on the ground in the training room of the Schicksal Headquarters, waiting to recover their strength, is the best proof of this.

"Lady Durandal, that concludes today's training. Rita has prepared dinner for you."

Miss Rita walked over to Durandal and expertly picked up her coat, preparing to return to her dormitory.

"Rita, don't you feel anything strange, like something's not right?"

Durandal asked tentatively.

Rita smiled and said, "Lady Durandal, you must be joking. This is the Schicksal Headquarters, the safest place in the world. How could anything unusual happen here?"

"Oh."

Durandal nodded, confirming that only he was experiencing the strange thought.

In any case, Rita wouldn't lie to her.

Durandal: "Lady Theresa, why am I suddenly receiving your communications and introduction to this system? Is it real?"

Theresa: "Ah, this..."

Himeko Murata: "Theresa, why don't we just be honest with Durandal? Although she's on Bishop Otto's side, I believe the strongest Valkyrie has her own judgment."

Theresa: "Okay."

After hearing Himeko's words, Theresa also considered it carefully.

Although Durandal was her grandfather's subordinate, she was essentially Valkyrie fighting for humanity and held immense prestige within Schicksal Headquarters.

Unlike Otto, she was a stubborn person who insisted on fulfilling her responsibilities from a just perspective.

Theresa gave Durandal a full account of the system's status and all the bad things her grandfather had done, telling him everything without holding back.

Durandal: "You mean, Bishop Otto has ulterior motives, and the others are Flame-Chasers from Previous Era? Hmm... how do you prove it?"

Elysia: "How do you prove it? Well, you've come to my rescue."

Danzhu: "How about we have Chakravartin use the Life Coin to go to the Schicksal Headquarters and prove it to them?"

Cang Xuan: "Danzhu, you're ruining Chakravartin's reputation again!"

The Herrscher of Reason: "Simple. Just let me go to Schicksal Headquarters again, crush Otto's Soul Steel Face, and then beat Durandal down. Wouldn't that be the best proof?"

Fu Hua: "Little Senti, stop causing trouble."

If this little brat were to cause a huge uproar at the Schicksal Headquarters, things would really get out of hand.

Fu Hua: "I was once a spy sent by Otto to the St. Freya Academy. His purpose was to have me monitor Kiana and awaken the Herrscher of the Void."

Durandal: "Fu Hua, your information is in the Schicksal database, but that's only your side of the story."

Himeko Murata: "Durandal, please believe us. We are all Valkyrie willing to fight for all that is good, and we would never doubt Schicksal without a good reason."

Durandal: "But what about the Herrscher of Reason has infiltrated your ranks?"

Those Herrscher of Reason: "?!!"

Well, you're absolutely right. The crowd that was arguing so vehemently just now fell silent.

Chapter 106 What did Otto exchange with Kevin?

Theresa: "Well... there are all sorts of reasons."

A Valkyrie has infiltrated a group of Herrscher. How can she prove her innocence?

I need help urgently.

Kiana: "Auntie Himeko, it seems like everyone on our side is Herrscher. The more you explain, the worse it gets."

Bronya: "..."

Raiden Mei: "..."

The Herrscher of Reason: "What, you look down on Herrscher? Why should Herrscher always be suspected? Can't Herrscher fight against Honkai? Can't Herrscher be trusted? Do you believe I'll sue you for discriminating against Herrscher?!"

Durandal: "... I admit that my statement just now was somewhat one-sided."

During the Second Honkai War, Welt, the leader of Anti-Entropy, was the First Herrscher, and he made a huge contribution to the fight against the Honkai.

Therefore, Durandal isn't incapable of clearing things out; as long as there aren't too many Herrscher, she can still accept it.
