Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Shihen said calmly.

"Who is this person? Does such a person really exist in this world?"

"Yeah! You're not lying to us, are you?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the other puppets immediately began to question him.

"Have you all forgotten the former Bishop of Destiny—Otto Apocalypse?"

Shihen's gaze swept over the puppets one by one, and he asked in a calm tone, "As far as I know, although Otto has left Destiny, he still carries more than 90% of the Soul Steel of this world."

If we can capture Otto, all that Soul Steel will be ours.

"By then, with countless Soul Steel bodies, wouldn't defeating those traitors be a piece of cake?"

To be fair, Otto truly exemplified the extreme of human potential in abusing public resources for private gain.

Relying on the intelligence advantage of the Void Treasury and the vast power of the Church of Destiny, Otto began collecting Soul Steel very early on and achieved terrifying results.

After collecting most of the world's Soul Steel resources, Otto forged them into Soul Steel husks, giving himself an inexhaustible supply of backup bodies.

Although Otto did use Soul Steel in the fight against Honkai, compared to the amount he used for his personal affairs, it was truly insignificant.

Even now, after leaving Destiny, Otto still took away the vast majority of the organization's Soul Steel inventory.

At least, he didn't see much Soul Steel in the warehouse, and not a single Soul Steel body belonging to Otto was left behind.

"Huh? We're going to fight the Archbishop of Destiny? Really?"

The dolls were stunned when they heard the boy's suggestion.

Even though Otto has left Schicksal, he is still a formidable opponent and not someone who can be easily dealt with.

Moreover, past facts have shown that Otto is not a physically weak leader of the anti-entropy alliance; he is also a very capable fighter.

"Ha! No matter how powerful Otto is, can he possibly be stronger than the Herrscher of the Void?"

Seeing the puppets waver, Shihen immediately sneered, "I think Otto is nothing but a stray dog, and I will capture him sooner or later!"

"That's right! Well said!"

If we can't even beat Otto, how can we talk about judging those traitors?!

A radical puppeteer loudly echoed this sentiment.

Upon hearing this, and considering the current strength of the three major organizations, the puppets quickly reached a consensus.

After all, previous battles have proven that they are now incredibly weak.

Whenever a Herrscher uses an AOE skill, a large number of them will die instantly.

If their bodies could be completely replaced with Soul Steel, their theoretical strength would reach the level of a regular S-rank Valkyrie, transforming them from ordinary soldiers into super soldiers.

This is an evolution that no doll can refuse.

"Destroy Otto! Soul-Stealing Steel!"

"Destroy Otto! Soul-Stealing Steel!"

In an instant, shouts rose and fell, and the hundreds of puppets who had been in disarray and acting independently finally reunited.

"But where are we going to find Otto?"

Amidst the clamor of conquest, a discordant note suddenly arose.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and all the puppets' eyes were focused on a certain passerby puppet, causing the passerby to involuntarily shrink back.

"Hehe~ That's a good question."

In the silence, Shihen stepped forward without hesitation, “We have a full thousand people, how could we not find a mere Otto?”

What do you think? Number 74?

With a smile, Shihen asked, glancing at the Otto doll beside him.

Although he didn't mind Otto being a false god, he didn't intend to make his life too comfortable.

Shi Henke has never forgotten that this senior once threw several nuclear bombs at him.

Otto: "..."

He suspected there was a mole on his side.

Chapter 176 The Silly Goose Wants to Be Redemption

Durandal saw Walter White again at the open-air observation deck at the highest point of the floating island.

Under the warm lighting, the man's slightly reclining posture appeared upright and composed. Although he was still wearing a mask, his clothes were no longer the usual white imperial robe, but a white suit with black and gold stripes.

Well, at least he looks more like a Destiny Archbishop.

Unconsciously thinking to herself, Durandal's gaze couldn't linger on the man for long. Instead, she quickly looked at the elegant maid with short, gray-gold hair beside her: "Rita? What are you doing here?"

If she remembered correctly, this should have been a private meeting between her and Walter White, right?

Meeting the blonde Valkyrie's questioning gaze, Rita's face immediately showed helplessness: "Lady Durandal..."

"As the Bishop of Destiny, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have a maid by my side, isn't it?"

Shihen offered an explanation.

He is, after all, the sole leader of the Church of Destiny. If he has to do everything himself, even something as simple as inviting Durandal to dinner, then his status is far too low.

"Rita is not a maid!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Durandal instantly bristled, clenching one fist tightly.

Even though Rita always preferred to see herself as a maid, in her heart, the girl who had served as her adjutant for many years should be a Valkyrie as excellent as herself.

However, according to Walter White, all of Rita's efforts as a Valkyrie were erased, leaving her only with the attributes of a maid.

This is undoubtedly the most direct insult to Rita!

"Durandal, are you jealous?"

Or rather, would you prefer Rita to be your only maid?

Shihen chuckled and asked, his low, husky voice revealing utter sarcasm.

"No, I didn't..."

Upon hearing this, Yulande immediately denied it.

From beginning to end, she only regarded Rita as a reliable comrade and partner, and their relationship was absolutely pure and without any impropriety.

She desperately wanted to explain everything, but when faced with the man's arrogant gaze, the girl, who was not good with words to begin with, was completely speechless and couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

"It's alright, Lady Durandal. Rita already knows all of your feelings."

Seeing the girl's predicament, Rita stepped forward and spoke up, but a deep sense of bitterness welled up inside her.

The Rei-Yu faction has ultimately lost to the Yu-Yu-Haku faction...

"It seems that Rita is the most reasonable one."

Shihen nodded slightly in approval.

"you……"

Seeing this, Durandal was once again filled with anger.

Ignoring the Valkyrie's minor emotional outburst, Shihen glanced at the girl up and down, then shook his head and said, "Durandal, it seems you still don't have the self-awareness of a loser."

I think I mentioned in the invitation that it was for dinner, right?

"Ok??"

She blinked involuntarily, a clear sense of bewilderment appearing in her eyes.

After she sent a signal through the gray snake that she wanted to meet Walter White, she did indeed receive a dinner invitation from the man within a few days.

But from any perspective, she shouldn't have lost her composure, right?

She even arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time!

"Take her to change her clothes, you know where that is."

He spoke calmly, his gaze never shifting to Rita.

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

Rita bowed and glanced at the Destiny uniform on the blonde Valkyrie, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Even after going through so much, the girl she once vowed to protect is still so oblivious, making people want to cherish her.

But today...

Overwhelmed with bitterness, Rita pushed the still somewhat confused Durandal back into the dressing room.

Opening the closet, Rita was momentarily stunned as she looked at the various styles of exquisite evening gowns inside, and a sudden surge of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Although she had fantasized about dressing Durandal in all sorts of beautiful clothes, she definitely didn't like what she was wearing today!

"Rita?"

Seeing her adjutant suddenly lost in thought, Durandal couldn't help but ask.

"Lady Durandal, what is your opinion of the current bishop?"

Rita ran her fingers over the dresses one by one, and without much hesitation, she chose a relatively conservative white dress.

"You mean white..."

With a soft sigh, Durandal's expression immediately became complicated, "That guy must be suffering a lot inside..."

As she spoke, Durandal's expression darkened slightly.

Having reached the very center of the power of destiny, she had also carefully reviewed every piece of intelligence related to [Walter White].

What soon came into her view was a report on the Ganesha incident in India at the end of 2012.

That was the last time Walter White and Raven acted together in the Destiny Database.

Even though he was betrayed by Otto during that incident, Walter White still showed considerable kindness and protected several Valkyries of Schicksal from another World Serpent executive.

Thinking of the man's gentleness then, and then recalling his current brutality, Durandal couldn't help but feel a slight pang of pain in her heart.

If Raven were still alive, Walter White would not be the way he is now, but would truly be a champion of justice like her.

Durandal was absolutely certain of this.

Unfortunately, Raven had already perished in the World Serpent's conspiracy, and she and Walter White would never have the chance to become true companions.

"..."

Upon hearing the blonde Valkyrie's words, Rita fell silent.

No, although Walter White did suffer some bad things, compared to the pain he caused others, those things are nothing, okay?

Looking at the melancholy blonde girl in front of her, Rita felt her heart begin to ache.

"Lady Durandal, let me help you change your clothes."

Despite the intense pain in her heart, Rita smiled and said.

"Eh?"

Realizing what was happening belatedly, Durandal's cheeks immediately flushed red. "Um... Rita, I can do it myself..."

Even if she doesn't wear these kinds of clothes often, she's no longer the kind of child who needs to be taken care of.

"Lady Durandal, the design of this type of clothing is quite different from everyday clothes. Are you really confident that you can wear it well?"

Rita smiled and said, her gentle tone carrying a hint of undeniable pressure.

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Yulande hesitated.

"Let me help you, Lady Durandal. Don't keep the bishop waiting."

As if adding insult to injury, Rita lightly brushed her fingers across the clasp of the Valkyrie uniform.

In an instant, the entire dressing room was filled with spring light.
