"Dedede... Lady Theresa?! The next Archbishop of Destiny?!"
Susana suddenly stood at attention and bowed to Theresa.
"Class B Valkyrie Susana awaits your command!"
"Forget about these things for now, help me relocate the residents of this town."
"Huh? Evacuate the residents? Why? Didn't Lord Otto just announce that the crisis was over and they could return to town?"
“Otto is planning to conduct an experiment. If civilians move around freely here, they could easily be affected by the experiment.”
Theresa hesitated for a moment, then carefully considered her words before explaining.
Susana, however, was even more puzzled.
It was as if there was absolutely no connection between Lord Otto and anything detrimental to her.
"Lord Otto's experiment? Is that something harmful to us?"
"Huh? What??"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Lady Theresa! I just... can't understand why Archbishop Otto of Destiny would conduct experiments harmful to people..."
Susana spoke haltingly.
His expression was very serious as he spoke about his impressions of Otto and Destiny.
“Destiny treats the Valkyrie unit very well. They not only care about our physical and mental health, but also frequently provide our families with all sorts of benefits and assistance.”
"I heard that... Lady Rita's family was arranged to work in a manor in this town, pursuing their beloved horticulture."
"Besides, the bishop's representative just told us to stay where we are, so I think... there shouldn't be any danger, right?"
Susana glanced timidly at Theresa.
It is clear.
This B-rank Valkyrie, destined for greatness, was more inclined to believe Otto's words.
Or.
Deep down, Susana firmly believed that Bishop Otto would never harm anyone from Schicksal, or even a commoner!
""
Theresa remained silent for a moment.
She also realized that even the Valkyrie could not easily accept what she said.
Otto's prestige and the degree of trust he enjoyed among the people.
It cannot be shaken in a short period of time.
then.
Theresa used the same trick again.
Using the same method he used to persuade Rowe, he helped Susanna complete her work and also brought him closer to her.
"I always felt that... Lady Theresa is gentler than I imagined."
"Huh...really? Do I usually give people a strict impression?"
"Ah, no, no! I just thought before... since you have the strength and the will to oppose Lord Otto, you must have a certain personality... how should I put it."
"Ah... I understand that feeling."
"However, after actually getting to know you, I feel that you are a very approachable senior!"
Susana bowed to Theresa.
However, it also exceeded the expectations of Theresa and countless viewers.
"Let me help Lady Theresa evacuate the town's residents to other places!"
As his relationship with Susana grew closer.
The latter also placed more trust in Theresa.
Although it was still impossible to shake their faith in Otto, they had temporarily agreed to Theresa's plan.
then.
After helping several more residents to evacuate successfully.
Theresa also encountered Changguang and others who were strolling around the town.
"Changguang, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, this? Just half an hour ago, Mr. Otto confiscated all my equipment and fired me, kicking me out of the house."
Changguang shrugged.
"Once the birds are gone, the bow is put away; you don't want them anymore. And then, just in time, you guys want to put some fun stuff here."
"In any case, I can sense that Changguang, you don't mean us any harm."
"Hehe, thank you for believing me."
After a conversation, Changguang completely eliminated any doubts about himself and fully committed himself to Theresa's cause.
After learning about the difficulties that Theresa was facing.
Changguang also accurately identified the pain points.
"I don't know who you just met, Ms. Theresa, but I think they were all sensible enough not to express their embarrassment."
"Hey, to be honest, it's just that you've been away at the Far East branch for way too long—"
"So long that the name [Theresa] has become too unfamiliar to these residents and even the frontline employees of Destiny's subordinates."
"Perhaps, this name is still very famous to the people at the top of Destiny, but to others, it is just an ordinary name."
"I don't expect to have a great influence on others; I will only do what I think I should do."
Theresa spoke with a firm gaze.
Changguang, however, simply smiled gently.
“That’s good, and I admire your boldness. The only problem is that Mr. Otto appointed you as the next bishop.”
"Let me be blunt—the people here probably only know you as 'the granddaughter who is pampered by the bishop.'"
"You were once an S-rank Valkyrie and ran a Valkyrie Academy; but a year ago, for some unknown reason, you betrayed the bishop himself and led the Far East Branch to break away from the Destiny Organization."
"Now that their bishop has put aside past grievances and just said he would pass the bishopric to you, you flew back without stopping."
"—To others, you seem like you've been eyeing this position for a long time and are just waiting for Mr. Otto to resign and retire as soon as possible."
Changguang spoke in a very relaxed manner.
But every word of it was deeply etched into Theresa's heart.
This also made Theresa and countless viewers realize the seriousness of the situation.
"I apologize, perhaps some of my words were a bit harsh, but I just wanted to remind you that the authority of the [Divine Destiny Bishop] comes from people's familiarity, affirmation, and trust."
"How to establish authority and unite the diverse personnel and people under the banner of destiny is also something the next bishop should do."
"The people here are not difficult to communicate with; they just don't know you yet."
“Since Mr. Otto has given us some time—I think if you can genuinely solve some of the problems around them, they will trust you.”
“I understand, Changguang. Given the current situation, this is indeed the best approach.”
[The former director of the St. 1504 Research Institute watched as the next Bishop of Destiny returned to his work.]
She closed her eyes, recalling the series of dangerous yet well-intentioned lies (Wang De's), and reflecting on the unique possibilities she had as an actress.
In a sense, she only maintained her virtue of honesty today in front of Theresa.
(Okay. Since we're certain everything will turn out well... then what's the essential difference between minor lies and the truth?)
And looking at the screen.
Changguang gave a lengthy explanation to Theresa, clearly outlining the predicament she was currently facing and what she needed to do.
This also solidified Theresa's resolve to pursue her chosen path.
The audience watching on screen were filled with awe and joy.
But then he remembered what Black Tower had said earlier.
"The succession of the Bishop of Destiny is not something that can be perfectly resolved with just a few words."
"Heh~ It's really kind of Otto to go to such lengths."
Almost none of the extraordinary individuals were stupid.
Almost everyone realized this to some extent at this moment!
Everything that is happening in this small town right now...
It seems quite possible that this was part of Otto's plan.
And Otto's painstaking efforts were for a reason...
It was also to give Theresa, his dearest granddaughter, a chance.
A chance to successfully assume the mandate of heaven and learn how to establish prestige and win the hearts of the people...?!

[Hu Tao: Otto's prestige is a bit too high...]
[Ke Qing: Sigh, Chang Guang is right after all....]
[Keqing: Theresa has indeed been away at the Far East Branch for a long time....]
[Ke Qing: It will indeed be difficult for Theresa to establish her prestige in the short term.]
[March 7th: So much happened in between, even to the point that the Hyperion and Destiny stood on opposite sides...]
[March 7th: This kind of misunderstanding will definitely worsen the public's impression of Theresa, right?]
[Furina: But...it seems Otto always intended for Theresa to succeed him as bishop, didn't he?]
[Himeko Hoshino: I feel... Otto's decision to relocate these town residents back seems intentional?!]
[Ningguang: Miss Heita is probably right... Otto is indeed intentionally paving the way for Theresa.]
[Jin: This... could this all be Otto's plan??]
Jingyuan: I'm afraid that's true.
Rita: This... seems to be the bishop's usual style...
[Su Chang: This guy... he really went to great lengths...]
[Su Chang: In order for Theresa to more smoothly take over the mandate of heaven....]
And in the scene, after saying goodbye to Changguang.
Theresa, however, also encountered Otto's secretary.
amber.
"Amber... have you been waiting for me here? What happened?"
"Ah...no, Lady Theresa, quite the opposite...there's nothing more I can do now."
"what?"
Amber remained silent for a moment.
“Just recently, Lord Otto suddenly told me that he no longer needed me in his plans. He said I…[was free].
A hint of confusion crept into Amber's voice.
She simply didn't understand what Lord Otto meant by...freedom.
This was the first time she had faced such a situation since she became conscious.
