That's enough time for Bronya to drive her car around the salt flats many times in her dreams.

"Forehead..."

Upon hearing this, Durandal couldn't help but give an awkward smile.

[Welt White] isn't some little kid; he wouldn't just run out like that just to watch the fun. Besides...

"Bai is not currently at the Schicksal HQ."

Durandal shook her head and explained.

Inheriting the good habits he developed when he was the Anti-Entropy Leader, Welt White's work hours depended entirely on his mood.

Under normal circumstances, the regular affairs of the Schicksal Church are handled by Amber, Rita, and others, while she provides advice on matters that are difficult to decide on.

As for [Welt White]... his main responsibility is to collect his salary.

I don't know what's wrong with that guy. The resources he plundered from Schicksal in various ways are enough to pay the bishop's salary for several hundred years, but [Welt White] is always obsessed with the meager monthly salary paid by the Schicksal Church, and even tried to trick her into handing over her salary.

Are they treating her like an idiot?

"What? That guy isn't in Schicksal?!"

Upon hearing Durandal's words, Fu Hua's expression first showed shock, and then a surge of intense anger.

She came to Schicksal with the belief that she would defeat Welt White, and now you're telling me she's not here?

So she got beaten up by Durandal for nothing, huh?

In an instant, she even had the urge to tear down the entire Schicksal.

"If Senior Fu Hua wants to find Bai, she can try going to World Serpent. He appears there quite often."

Durandal added considerately.

At least, she mostly met him at the World Serpent Base.

"Alright, I'm leaving then."

After glancing at the golden-haired girl, Fu Hua didn't hesitate to take to the air, her figure transforming into a streak of black and red light as she headed southwest.

There's nothing to do at Schicksal HQ anyway, so I might as well go and fight Kevin and get back into the swing of things.

As fellow Fusion Warrior, Kevin was able to defeat Welt White, so how could she possibly lose to a little girl like Durandal?

This just doesn't make sense, does it?

Therefore, there must be some problem here!

With these thoughts in mind, Fu Hua increased her flight speed even further.

"Senior Fu Hua..."

Unable to resist calling out, Durandal could only watch as the black and red light in her field of vision quickly receded and disappeared.

She also wanted to remind the other party that if they really met [Welt White], they should be careful and not be too reckless.

After all, unlike her, [Welt White] has a very bad personality.

If the other party gets carried away, they might actually kill Fu Hua a second time.

Let's go back and find Gray Serpent, and ask him to remind Kevin.

With Kevin's intervention, Fu Hua and Welt White shouldn't have escalated to the point of a life-or-death struggle.

While thinking, Durandal hurriedly landed back on the battlefield where the Valkyrie were, directing them to resolve the aftermath of the riot caused by Fu Hua.

Sigh, this site repair is going to cost a lot of money again...

Looking at the scattered firelight around her, Durandal of the household, felt a bit anxious.

"Durandal".

A respectful voice suddenly rang out.

"Amber, what brings you here?"

Hearing this, Durandal looked at the White-haired Girl who was walking briskly towards her and asked in confusion.

"Anti-Entropy just sent a notification about Lady Fu Hua."

Amber explained softly, raising her hand to project a screen in front of the Valkyrie.

"..."

Durandal's gaze slid rapidly across the screen, taking in each word. Her expression subtly changed. "That Fu Hua just now... wasn't the real Fu Hua?"

"Based on the information provided by Anti-Entropy, this is indeed the case."

Amber nodded in agreement.

In this announcement, Anti-Entropy explained the whole story of Fu Hua's departure in concise language and asked Schicksal to help keep an eye on Fu Hua's information.

Durandal: "..."

She just let that fake Fu Hua go.

"No! I have to go and bring that fake Fu Hua back!"

With a slight shift in her eyes and a firm decision, Durandal immediately summoned Krisna again.

No matter what she faces, she is never one to dawdle.

Bite--

But just as the girl was about to mount her horse, a communication notification sounded.

"White?"

Upon seeing the name on the interface, Durandal looked puzzled, but then chose to answer the call.

"Yo~ It's been a long time, Durandal!"

A distinctive, husky voice rang out immediately, accompanied by the man's characteristic flippant tone.

"..."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Durandal's face darkened. "Bai! You've gone too far this time!"

She felt that the other party's evil had reached a level comparable to that of Otto in the past, as he created and triggered the Fifth Honkai Outbreak, nearly causing the deaths of nearly two million innocent people on Coral Island.

"Too much?"

Hearing the girl's stern rebuke, Shi Hen on the other side just smiled contemptuously, "Durandal, please get your facts straight first."

I ended the Fifth Honkai Outbreak! I saved two million people on Coral Island!

They even took down two Herrscher at once!

I have accomplished Schicksal has ordained... no, what no other leader in the entire history of humanity has been able to do. I have completely surpassed everyone!

As he spoke, Shi Hen paused slightly before continuing, "And you, as a dignified assistant bishop, only care about helping a bunch of ants criticize me, and you don't even... address me as 'Your Bishop Sir'?"

"White!!"

Upon hearing this, Durandal's anger intensified.

Aside from triggering the Fifth Honkai Outbreak and ultimately reaping the benefits, did this guy actually do anything meaningful?

While criticizing Otto for all his faults, she did the same things he did, and belittled the boys who actually did the work. She was about to lose control of her fists.

"Alright, let's leave this boring talk behind. I know you can't possibly understand my foresight."

With a light laugh, Shi Hen said in a tone full of leisurely sarcasm, "I've come to you this time because I want you to handle an onboarding process."

"..."

After taking several deep breaths to suppress her raging anger, Durandal finally spoke after a long while, asking, "Whom are you planning to put into Schicksal this time?"

"It's not just anyone, it's a Herrscher, the Star Herrscher, Night Owl."

"Let him be a mere A-rank Valkyrie, I don't want any random jerk being compared to you."

Shi Hen said casually.

Well, although Night Owl looked furious when he first came out of the Stigmata Space, all it took was a glance at him and a comment like, "You don't miss your sister either..."

Soon enough, Night Owl was very willing to work for him, even adopting a resolute attitude of self-destruction if he didn't accept the job.

Left with no other choice, he had to arrange another Schicksal job for him.

Just like appointing Durandal as the vice leader of Anti-Entropy, showing off the powerful pieces he has collected to the world is the kind of arrogance that matches Welt White's personality.

As an evil villainous boss, [Welt White] never knows how to keep a low profile.

"... How far do you intend to go with this nonsense!?"

Unable to hold back her clenched fists, Durandal angrily questioned.

Herrscher is one thing, but to make a man Valkyrie... this is not only an insult to the term Valkyrie, but also a contempt for Night Owl himself.

It's important to know that even the young man who is now the Anti-Entropy Leader was not granted the title of Valkyrie during the time of St. Freya; he only received the same treatment.

Is there a problem with this?

He asked in a pretentious manner, Shi Hen smiled lightly, "You mean the title of Star Herrscher?"

I think the Rock Herrscher " from the Previous Era sounds awful and doesn't fit our Schicksal's advanced aesthetic.

With a calm expression, Shi Hen finalized the name of Night Owl's Herrscher.

"Durandal..."

Seeing that the strongest Valkyrie's anger was about to explode, Amber quickly spoke up to persuade her, her gaze towards the golden-haired girl somewhat inexplicable.

Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that Durandal's emotions were too easily swayed by the current Bishop Sir.

"Phew~"

Having understood Amber's meaning, Durandal let out a long breath to suppress her emotions before asking in a deep voice, "Even if I disagree, you can still issue the order directly, right?"

It has always practiced a centralized system, and the power of the Schicksal Bishop is completely unrestricted.

Of course, given Welt White's consistent character, if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't actually be able to command many of the Schicksal Ones.

However, minor personnel changes are not included, as no one would choose to disobey the bishop without affecting their own core interests.

"Really."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hen softly echoed, "But I just love seeing you with that unwilling look on your face, yet having no choice but to obediently listen."

Click~

In an instant, a fist clenched and a crisp joint sound rang out.

Durandal was certain that if Welt White dared to appear in front of her now, she would attack him without hesitation.

How can there be such a nasty person in this world!

"Also, if the Herrscher of Knowledge appears, remember to let me know."

Shi Hen added calmly.

"Those Herrscher of Knowledge?"

Unable to resist blinking, a clear look of confusion appeared in Durandal's eyes.

Are there any existing Herrscher who are called "Herrscher of Knowledge"?

"It's that guy who took over Hua's body."

Shi Hen said casually, subtly showing off.

"How do you know that it is the Herrscher of Knowledge?"

Durandal was even more shocked.

She had been fighting with the other party for so long, yet she hadn't realized at all that the other party was Herrscher.

"You guess?"

Shi Hen chuckled softly.

Durandal: "..."

That awful guy, I'll have to beat him up sooner or later.

"In short, that's how it is. Just be careful."
