If someone were to make a move at this moment, theoretically, they could indeed end his life in one strike.
"Fine, you can cheat me! Once you settle the new score, you won't be able to repay the old favors. You should know that this is against the code of the martial arts world."
"I've never heard of an S-class Valkyrie from Destiny having to uphold the code of honor among heroes."
"you"
"Oh, don't mind me. I didn't mean to be argumentative. And to be honest, I'm actually quite afraid of death. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived in this world for over five hundred years, would I?"
The Rakshasa laughed even harder.
It's hard to say whether his expression represents sincerity or hypocrisy.
Li Sushang also said coquettishly
"...You really are something else."
Otto smiled and continued...
"Alright, it's probably about time outside."
"There's a news video that's being broadcast live around the world, and I'd like you to see it too."
With Otto's mysterious words.
A shift in perspective.
They found themselves aboard the Hyperion, a ship that everyone was very familiar with.
[—Earlier, it was 8 a.m. during Mountain Daylight Saving Time in North America.]
The warrior named Fu Hua roughly wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. She had just finished her morning training and was planning to take a hot shower to relax her whole body.
The outside world has been surprisingly peaceful lately.
Their lives gradually returned to normalcy.
along the way.
I had a casual chat with Dr. Einstein, who advocates anti-entropy.
Fu Hua also sensed the profound significance of this rare period of peace for everyone around her.
Although the incident involving the Herrscher of Domination did not end perfectly, the crucial Herrscher Core remains missing—
Although everyone knows that even greater challenges are yet to come—
But this doesn't stop everyone from enjoying their current peaceful life in perfect harmony.
in the bathroom.
The warm water washed away all the fatigue in her body, allowing Fu Hua to find a moment of tranquility in the comforting white noise.
She doesn't dream much, and she doesn't have any personal desires worth investing her energy in.
This is not because she has superhuman powers—she has been living an ordinary life since her student days 50,000 years ago.
That's the same state of mind.
This made her seem like a kind-hearted person without her own opinions; it was this mindset that later turned her into a ruthless swordswoman.
That innocent and kind-hearted girl, that warrior who only obeys orders, that immortal who will surely be slain if he falls into demonic possession.
That precocious class monitor, that close friend of the Bishop of Destiny.
Those are all her, and those are not her.
Two months ago, with everyone's victory, the Herrscher powers stolen by the Herrscher of Domination returned to their original core.
This time, on the other end of the chains, she chose an even more extreme approach than before.
She severed the flow of all energy on the chains, turning the core of the Herrscher of Consciousness into a useless piece of trash.
(...So, it seems I haven't had a proper chat with the headmaster lately.)
[Ke Qing: Ah, this hard-won peace.]
[March 7th: They have no idea that Otto is plotting a huge conspiracy!]
[Tesla: It's not just Otto... there's also World Serpent... and the damn Honkai!]
[Tesla: When will this world finally become a better place?!]
Kiana: I believe! As long as we all work together, we can definitely turn this imperfect world into the one we long for!
[Raiden Mei: I'll be with you, Kiana!]
[Silver Wolf: We need to deal with the bigger problem first! Otto is clearly about to make a big move....]
[Honkai Impact 3rd Himeko: Sigh... at least Otto's goals aren't that crazy. World Serpent is the real headache!]
[Anti-Entropy Salt Lake Base, Hyperion's Exclusive Helipad—]
"The principal."
"Oh, it's you... Fu Hua."
"Is the headmaster currently conducting a spot check on the Hyperion's routine maintenance?"
"I guess so? Or you can just think of it as someone who can't sit still."
Theresa sighed and stretched her petite frame.
"Although the core of the Herrscher of Domination is missing, only three incidents related to Honkai have occurred globally in the past two months."
"Sigh, although we have indeed completely defeated the Herrscher, this inexplicable state of peace is actually quite strange!"
"In the pre-civilization era, this subtle sense of incongruity existed before the birth of the Eleventh Herrscher."
"What happened later—no, I shouldn't make that analogy—is a mistake we wouldn't repeat today."
Fu Hua recalled, but finally said resolutely.
Theresa nodded firmly.
"After all, Kiana and the others, as well as Mr. Welt, are all very gentle, mature, and rational people."
talking.
Theresa fell silent for a moment.
Fu Hua also noticed Theresa's hesitation at the right time.
"What's wrong, Headmaster?"
"Fu Hua... what kind of person do you think I am?"
Theresa gazed into Fu Hua's eyes.
She asked the question that had been puzzling her for a long time.
“I’ve actually been thinking about something lately. You know, my grandfather was the Bishop of Destiny for over five hundred years, and it wasn’t like he was doing everything perverse during that time.”
“When my grandfather was young, he did many good deeds and acts of righteousness, such as adopting orphans, speaking out for the people, and overthrowing the brutal former bishop, etc.”
"Thinking about this makes me realize that many of my decisions were probably influenced by him without me even realizing it."
"Whether it's establishing St. Freya or rebelling against the headquarters of Destiny, these are all things that Grandpa did before... In the end, it's still his idea."
"But things can't go on like this. We need to take a different path. I must break free from his shadow..."
Theresa sighed, a hint of disappointment on her face.
But you can also clearly hear her dependence on Otto.
"But the shadow he left in my heart... is perhaps more than I thought."
"Sorry... I suddenly realized that these are just some immature complaints. Please forget them."
Fu Hua saw this.
She offered words of comfort, her voice tinged with sympathy.
“You really don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself, Headmaster. You’ve already done a great job. You should give yourself some time to catch your breath.”
"Because, just like what Bronya encountered before, it is by no means an easy thing for a person to truly break free from the influence of their relatives."
"Thank you, Fu Hua. However, I am, after all, the headmaster and the head of the Far East branch. I will make decisions for everyone when necessary!"
And at this very moment!
Just as Theresa and Fu Hua were talking!
And while talking.
Without warning, the tactical communications emitted its distinctive alert tone.
Einstein's voice came
“Ms. Theresa, I apologize for interrupting your work by using emergency contact, but this is a news video that Destiny is currently broadcasting to the world, and I think it is necessary for you to see it immediately!”
As Einstein finished speaking.
Theresa was startled.
I opened the live video that the other party had sent.
Otto's hologram.
It appeared prominently on the screen!
And this...
This is the video that Heaven is currently pushing to the world!
in the lens.
Otto wore a gentle smile, his bishop's robes spotless.
"Greetings, friends from all over the world: I am Otto Apocalypse, the bishop of the Destiny Organization."
Suddenly.
Many viewers also had a premonition!
Otto's big move... is here!
"As some of you already know—on this planet we live on, a catastrophe called Honkai occurs periodically."
"That's right. In the past, to keep it a secret, they were vaguely referred to as unexplained disasters in the news."
at this time.
The whole world was amazed.
There was also an uproar on the Hyperion!
This... reveals and announces the existence of the Honkai to the entire world?!
Otto's move was undoubtedly incredibly reckless!
Isn't he afraid that people all over the world will be plunged into panic?
And Otto's voice continued.
"As far as the Destiny Organization knows, the Honkai is a catastrophic phenomenon that is born with civilization, grows stronger with civilization, and has the ability to shatter civilization itself."
"However, there is no need to panic—just recently in August, the Far East branch of the Destiny Organization cooperated with the Anti-Entropy Organization of the United States to eliminate the latest Apostle of the Honkai!"
"Over the past two months, global catastrophes have decreased significantly; you have probably all felt this to some extent in your daily lives."
"In my view, this may mark the beginning of a new era in the struggle between human civilization and decay—"
Otto paused.
His facial expression grew increasingly confident and inspiring!
"An era in which humanity shifts from defense to offense, and completely eradicates the collapse from our world, is coming soon!"
"The Honkai has run out of steam, while a new generation of heroes is emerging among humanity! At this time of change, you all need the truth about the world, and Destiny also needs fresh blood."
With Otto's words.
Not only Theresa and the others looked confused.
Everyone in the chat group was completely baffled.
Otto...
