Chapter 395: Ready (cont.)

Inside the Schicksal floating island.

A white-haired old man opened his eyes, revealing cloudy, yellowed pupils.

His shriveled lips trembled. "Has it... come..."

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this white-haired old man looked remarkably similar to Otto, the man known as the source of all evil.

At that moment, he stared unwillingly at the floating screen below, watching the monster, larger than the Schicksal floating island itself, fly upward.

The distance was closing fast!

Looking at it, Otto seemed to accept his fate. A miserable, bitter smile appeared on his bark-like, shriveled face. "In the end... I failed to revive Kallen, failed to stop civilization's destruction... and failed to trap this thing..."

"Perhaps this is my fate..."

Trembling, he reached a finger toward a button beneath the throne's armrest.

Bzzz

A needle as thin as a strand of hair pierced Otto's index finger.

Then, a beam of light shone into his yellowed eyes.

"Beep—verification passed. Heart rate stable. Determining... Bishop Otto is currently conscious. Self-destruction procedure ready. Would you like the floating island's reactor to begin absorbing the surrounding Honkai Energy?"

"Yes... confirm it," Otto said hoarsely after hesitating for two seconds.

In an instant.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

The Schicksal floating island howled with wind as its artificial landmass shook violently.

The sudden overloaded operation of the primary and secondary reactors caused countless components to fall away.

Before long, funnel clouds appeared in the sky.

Dense Honkai Energy mixed with the atmospheric clouds and was continuously drawn into the reactor's power facilities.

Steven raced forward at high speed.

Seeing the changes in the Schicksal floating island, he felt a bad premonition.

Was the other side going to self-destruct?!

No way!

If it exploded, the World Bubble core would be destroyed too. What would he do then?

Run away?
