“Of course, Your Excellency.” Chen Yuan’s lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile, and then he slowly released the hand that was tightly gripping Otto’s head.

In that instant, Otto seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground like a heavy object that had lost its support.

She raised her head and stared at Chen Yuan with an incredibly complex gaze. Her eyes held a mixture of astonishment, doubt, and a thousand unspoken words, yet she could not express them accurately in words.

“My friend, you’ve really given me a wonderful surprise!” Otto took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his voice still trembled slightly as he spoke.

Chen Yuan shrugged lightly, a helpless expression on his face: "Perhaps. After all, for a nobody like me, the thing I fear most is death."

As he finished speaking, the white liquid covering him began to recede, disappearing as quickly as the tide. In the blink of an eye, Chen Yuan returned to his normal human form, standing steadily before Otto once more.

Meanwhile, Fu Hua, who had just emerged from Chen Yuan's body, suddenly felt her legs go weak and almost collapsed. Fortunately, her physical abilities were exceptional. After a brief adjustment, she forcefully suppressed the strange feeling and the emptiness deep within her heart, ultimately managing to regain her balance.

"So, do I now have the right to speak with you as an equal?" Chen Yuan asked Otto with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "My esteemed bishop?"

Otto chuckled softly at this, then slowly stood up, gently brushing the dust off his clothes. However, despite his outward composure, only he knew that the lingering smell of blood on his hands was piercing his heart again and again.

While the two were talking, Bianca and Rita on the other side were completely baffled, both in a state of extreme confusion.

From their perspective, all they could see was Chen Yuan reaching out and grabbing Otto's head, pulling him out of the wall. It was only a brief moment before everything returned to its original state.

At this moment, Otto seemed as if nothing had happened, still with that indifferent expression, but a closer look would reveal that his face was slightly pale.

Even so, Otto maintained his composure and calmness, but when he looked at Chen Yuan again, there was a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

Before this, he had looked at Chen Yuan as if he were looking at a toy in his hand, full of casualness and disdain. But now, this attitude had clearly changed.

Finally, Bianca could no longer contain her doubts and broke the oppressive silence, "Mr. Chenyuan, what exactly happened just now?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously clenched her fists tightly. To be honest, at this moment, Bianca secretly longed to spar with Chen Yuan.

After all, when Chen Yuan first appeared, the powerful aura he released had already forced Bianca to use 'Queen' to defend against it. If they were to actually fight, Bianca simply didn't have enough confidence to defeat Chen Yuan at that time.

"Don't worry, everything has been resolved perfectly." Chen Yuan responded softly, his gentle tone like a breeze brushing against everyone's hearts, carrying with it a subtle sense of relief.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on Otto, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Bishop Otto, you see, shouldn't we put aside our little squabbles and grudges for now?"

Upon hearing this, Otto's lips curled into a forced smile, and he shrugged. "Oh? Of course, my dear friend, or perhaps the valiant vice-captain of the Undying Blade. Come to think of it, what deep-seated hatred could we possibly have that we can't resolve?"

However, despite his words, his smile seemed extremely fake, making it difficult to discern his true intentions.

"If any more massive Honkai events occur in the future, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on you to resolve them," Otto continued, his seemingly sincere words concealing a deeper, unspoken meaning.

Faced with Otto's words, which were tinged with sarcasm, Chen Yuan remained unfazed and replied calmly, "Oh dear, Bishop Otto is too kind to me."

"If even a prestigious organization like Schicksal is helpless against certain Honkai events, what good would it do to add someone like me? I'm afraid we could only sigh in vain!"

Just then, Bianca, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly looked puzzled. She tilted her head slightly and blinked her big, bright eyes. "The Undying Blade... the vice-captain?"

Clearly bewildered by the title "Vice-Captain of the Undying Blade" that Otto had just uttered, she was completely baffled. Rita, standing beside her, seemed to have anticipated this situation, simply letting out a helpless sigh with an expression of "just as I expected."

"That's about it. From now on, I'll officially be your subordinate, Bianca!" Hearing Bianca's question, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile.

Then he slowly turned around to face Bianca and Rita, and replied in a nonchalant tone, "However, from now on I must call you Captain Bianca."

"Just as old Biden said, from this day forward, I will become the vice-captain of the Undying Blade. This collaboration was somewhat unexpected, but upon reflection, it makes perfect sense."

However, the moment the words "Old Bitden" reached Otto's ears, even this Archbishop of Destiny, who had weathered centuries of storms and seen all sorts of situations, couldn't help but pause slightly before quickly turning his head away.

After all, he had heard countless people call him by various names over the years, but such a novel and unique way of addressing him was truly unprecedented.

"Master... Mr. Chenyuan, what exactly is the relationship between you and His Holiness the Bishop?" Rita, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment before asking.

Her wine-red eyes were filled with confusion. Although the brief scene had passed in an instant, the tense atmosphere it had created was truly unforgettable, to the point that she had even secretly prepared herself to slip away from fate at any moment.

“Well…” Chen Yuan paused briefly, seemingly choosing his words carefully, before continuing, “Indeed, there is a rather subtle relationship between Otto and me.”

"However, we have now resolved to put aside past grievances and join hands. Ultimately, resisting the collapse and safeguarding world peace is our most important and urgent mission!"

After speaking, Chen Yuan turned to Otto beside him, a friendly smile on his face, and slowly extended his right hand to gently pat Otto's shoulder. "Isn't that right, my respected Bishop Otto?"

At this moment, Bianca, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Chen Yuan's statement. However, a trace of doubt and uncertainty still flickered in her beautiful eyes.
