The Youngster Continues to Direct the Battle (Continued)
Pushing up his glasses, which weren't even visible under his nose, Shi Hen saw through the truth at a glance.
"This..."
A sense of understanding flashed through her mind, but looking at the large pile of "Otto" in front of her, Kiana's expression still couldn't help but become strange.
Even if the goal is to seize Otto's Soul Steel body, do these guys really need to use Otto's appearance to make such an exaggerated show?
Exaggerated gestures, a feminine voice, and Otto's appearance... Kiana couldn't help but feel a disgust akin to seeing insects, wishing she could unleash the full power of Phoenix Incinerator and burn these Herrscher of Domination to ashes.
"Ha! I knew Otto wouldn't do anything good!"
"So much Soul Steel embezzled at once! That's enough to make so many weapons and pieces of equipment!"
Focusing on the Soul Steel body, Schariac angrily cursed, "Moreover, he has now given all of these things to the Herrscher of Domination. He is simply a traitor to all mankind!"
"..."
Shihen glanced discreetly at Schariac, the most blatant traitor in the Honkai faction, Shi Hen offered no comment.
"Oh! Grandpa..."
Touched by Schariac's words, Theresa's expression became complicated.
Even though she already knew about Otto's many crimes, she still couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she faced the evidence in person.
"Be careful, these Herrscher of Domination have definitely become stronger."
"Summon the Star of Eden in your hand, "Shi Hen reminded him.
"That's right! That's right! We're no longer the kind of weaklings who would fall down so easily!"
Upon hearing the boy's words, the Herrscher of Domination immediately began to dance with joy, their voices filled with the pride of finally getting their revenge. "Having defeated the Schicksal Bishop, we are now invincible!"
"Ha! Otto is nothing but a treacherous villain who only knows how to hide in the shadows, and you Herrscher of Domination are a bunch of useless trash. Do you think the two of you combined can turn the tide?"
Making no attempt to conceal his contempt, Schariac sneered and then raised a finger, "Go get them, you old fogey, crush all this trash!"
In her Feather of Dust form, her power is limited, and she cannot use her powers on these Herrscher of Domination. The only thing she can use is the ancient summoning technique.
Moreover, after experiencing it firsthand, she felt that this method was much more enjoyable than fighting in the arena herself.
Fu Hua: "..."
"Damn it! How dare they look down on us!!"
Sensing the contempt emanating from Schariac, one of the Herrscher of Domination immediately became enraged.
"Charge! Let's teach these traitors a lesson!"
He shouted loudly, and all the Herrscher of Domination immediately sprang into action, dozens of Otto running and turning into afterimages.
Upon seeing this, Shi Hen and the others immediately became serious.
Regardless of who is controlling these bodies, the scene of so Otto fighting together is still quite oppressive.
"I'll take care of things here..."
Without hesitation, Theresa stood at the very front, her expression becoming incredibly resolute.
In her eyes, this was undoubtedly one of the messes left by Otto.
As the other party's former granddaughter, she should also bear certain responsibilities.
Even if she no longer approves of the other person's behavior, it is still an inescapable part of her past.
As she was thinking this, Theresa suddenly saw a slender green figure rushing straight out.
"Wendy!!"
Realizing what had happened in an instant, Theresa couldn't help but gasp.
But the Nun had no chance to stop her, as the girl, who had been holding her breath because of Queenstown and Kiana's situation, crossed the distance between them in an instant.
Whoosh!
Wendy's figure overlapped with an Otto mascot, and then...
Two streaks of azure sword flashed past, and a huge cross appeared on the chest of the Otto doll, which then fell straight down.
"Um??"
Seeing that the Herrscher of Domination only seemed a bit thicker and tougher than before, Wendy was momentarily stunned.
So, despite changing skins and making threats, the essence of these Herrscher of Domination is still exactly the same as last time?
"Ha! I thought these guys were really tough. Turns out they're just a bunch of paper tigers!"
Upon seeing this, Schariac immediately jumped out from behind Fu Hua, put his hands on his hips, and burst into laughter, his chest, which had been completely flat, exuding arrogance.
"You, you bunch of bastards!"
Seeing their hard-won Soul Steel Body so easily destroyed, one of the Herrscher of Domination couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Now it's our turn, no objections?"
With a cold voice, Kiana's Phoenix Incinerator suddenly burst into blazing flames, and she immediately moved.
She was furious with the thieves who had stolen the power of the Desire Gem and had kept Wendy from smiling for so long.
Boom!
As a burst of fire erupted among the Otto Card dolls, the battle between the two sides officially began.
Almost as soon as the battle began, the situation became completely one-sided.
Even though they obtained Otto's Soul Steel body, these Herrscher of Domination who had not received the teachings of the Key of Erosion clearly lacked the combat awareness to match that of S-rank Valkyrie.
In front of Kiana and the others, the Herrscher of Domination were like a group of children wielding peerless swords.
Unfortunately, their opponents were almost all unparalleled masters.
Even the Third Generation Leader, who was not known for his fighting prowess, was able to use the Star of Eden to help the others take down a considerable number of enemies.
Before long, more than half of the eighty Otto dolls had been destroyed, while Kiana and the others looked increasingly excited.
Whatever the reason, seeing "Otto" punished under one's own hands is something that anyone whose fate has been tormented by the other party would find hard to refuse.
Even Schariac urged him to switch accounts with Fu Hua, enjoying the pleasure of Otto Soul Steel face creaking in his hands.
Swish—
But just as the Herrscher of Domination were filled with fear and Shi Hen and the others wanted to expand their gains, several giant wind blades, each the size of Honkai Beasts, suddenly crashed down.
Under the terrifying attack that could easily shatter metal and break stone, Kiana and the others couldn't help but pause, and their expressions immediately became much more serious.
Call--
With a swing of her greatsword, Kiana cleaved through the endless dust stirred up by the wind blades. Her gaze couldn't help but fall upon the nine Domination Puppet standing proudly in the sky, and her body instinctively stepped in front of the boy to shield him.
"Be careful, Scar, these guys don't seem to be the same as the other Herrscher of Domination."
Kiana whispered a few words of advice, then looked at the Herrscher of Domination in the air who were still dressed in their original skins, and for the first time, a hint of nervousness appeared on her face.
She could sense that the aura emanating from these dolls was completely different from that of other Herrscher of Domination.
That's the confidence that belongs only to the strong!
Unable to use her Herrscher Authority or fully unleash the power of the Phoenix Incinerator, she was not absolutely certain she could protect the boy.
Noticing Kiana's wariness, the boy-type puppet ignored it and instead looked down at the routed Otto- type puppet army. "Heh! Trash is trash after all. Even if you were given Soul Steel bodies, you still can't get rid of your trash nature."
"You bunch of guys, all you do is hide in the back and watch the show, don't you feel ashamed?"
Looking up at the nine puppets standing in the air, one of the Otto puppets couldn't help but ask a question.
"Of course not."
Without hesitation, the boy-shaped doll's aura grew even more imposing. "So, just as we said before, we must take the lead in all future actions."
Do you understand?
Upon hearing this, the Otto dolls immediately showed some discomfort on their faces.
Seeing the performance of the Herrscher of Domination, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh slightly.
A mob is a mob because it lacks discipline and authority.
Even though Thousand Faces Herrscher of Domination has a unique identity and a grand goal assigned by Honkai, the differences among individuals still mean that they cannot achieve true unity.
So, how can we control the actions of all the Herrscher of Domination when the erosion efficiency is insufficient?
The answer is carrot and stick.
He not only led these Herrscher of Domination to victory against Otto, but also used Kiana and others to expose their weakness.
In this way, he could legitimately seize control of the Herrscher of Domination and mold the Tenth Honkai into the shape he desired.
After all, in order to erase the traces Otto left in Schicksal and transform the organization into one suitable for his leadership, there are still many people who must be eliminated.
Entrusting all these tasks to [Welt White] would seem a bit too deliberate.
But if it's the Herrscher of Domination...
For Herrscher is inherently evil, nothing is surprising.
Moreover, even if the starting points are different, this can still cause some damage to Schicksal, which fits the character of the Herrscher of Domination.
Thinking this, the boy-shaped doll's gaze swept over the group of Herrscher of Domination below, and the oppressive aura emanating from him suddenly intensified, forcing the dolls to make their own choices.
"I... we understand..."
Faced with Kiana and others eyeing her covetously on one side, and coercion from her own people on the other, the Herrscher of Domination, whose will was not very firm to begin with, quickly made a decision.
"You bunch of guys, stop playing tricks on me!"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Schariac couldn't hold back any longer and instantly leaped up to punch the boy doll.
Call--
One puppet used a vortex of wind to deflect Schariac's fist, while the other two puppets simultaneously pushed out with their palms, summoning a storm that forcefully pushed Schariac's body away in the fierce wind.
Even though the individual puppets are far inferior to Fu Hua in terms of attributes, as long as Shi Hen uses his power properly, he can still use these puppets to contend with Schariac.
Of course, it's only enough to contend with one or two opponents.
After defeating Schariac, the boy doll did not press his advantage. Instead, he swept his gaze over the Anti-Entropy group and said, "It's not time for a complete purge yet. We'll meet again next time, you traitors who have strayed from the path of Honkai!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a cloud of yellow sand billowed up, completely obscuring the figures of the two groups of puppets.
"Wait! Stop right there!"
Only then did she realize what was happening and shouted. Kiana swung her Skyfire Greatsword, instantly cutting through the sand and dust. But behind her, the Herrscher of Domination were no longer there. Only the remains of "Otto" on the ground told of the ferocity of the battle.
"They should have returned to Domination Theater."
Shi Hen glanced at the spatial rift in the air, which still bore some traces of its former self, and sighed softly.
Should we chase after them?
Kiana frowned and asked.
She is fully capable of tracing the past in this kind of clearly traceable spatial transfer.
"Let's stop here for now. Those dolls give me a bad feeling."
Shi Hen shook his head.
If you rush headlong into everything, you're just a reckless fool.
As the Third Generation Leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, he should know when to stop.
"Moreover, our results this time are already quite substantial."
Pointing to the pile of "Otto's " remains on the ground, Shi Hen revealed a faint smile.
He felt it was incredibly difficult to both advance his own position among the Herrscher of Domination and leave enough achievements for the Third Generation Leader.
But there's nothing we can do about it; that's just how the Behind-the-Scenes Boss is. Kiana and the others only need to enjoy the battles, while he has a lot more to consider.
Even when facing enemies like the Herrscher of Domination who are not individually strong, he, the Third Generation Leader, has to personally take to the field to make Kiana and the others' battles more enjoyable.
"Those Herrscher of Domination! Next time I see them, I'm going to smash them all to pieces!"
Not satisfied with his current achievements, Schariac clenched his fist and said bitterly, his red eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
It's one thing to fight Durandal and the others to a draw, but when did even a few Herrscher of Domination get the upper hand?
Are they treating her as some new legend of invincibility?
