Playful! Collapse!

Even if she had a good relationship with me, she was still Otto's subordinate, so when she mentioned Yuan Yan's name...

Could it be that Otto is using this method to let her test my attitude towards Yuan Yan?

"That man is indeed a talent, but... hmph, let's not talk about him."

After revealing an unhappy look, Fu Hua did not continue speaking, but took the initiative to walk out of the bar.

"Singapore will sooner or later become a battlefield. Now that your mission is complete, it's best to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible."

"Ahh, is it really that serious?"

Listening to Fu Hua's reminder, the ghost looked at Fu Hua's departing back and shrugged helplessly.

"The Undying Blade is already on standby nearby. With you here too, if something else happens in Singapore, then this problem will be quite serious."

But...Fu Hua seems to have a very bad attitude towards Yuan Yan.

As the Archbishop said, let’s report this matter to him first.

.................................................. ...

Meanwhile, somewhere outside Singapore

After completing the transaction with Gray Snake, Otto immediately brought the inspected black box and two God's Keys to the area near Singapore.

As a scientist who unlocked the black box five hundred years ago, although Otto could not perfectly recreate the black box, he was still able to identify the authenticity of the goods.

Now that it has been confirmed that this black box does have the characteristics to seal the Herrscher of Corrosion, Otto's grasp of this plan can be said to have greatly improved.

But even so, Otto didn't want to relax.

After all, the opponent is a strong man with the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion. Facing such a powerful enemy who is naturally restrained, Otto only has one chance to take action.

He had to deploy the divine grace barrier, which would only last for one minute, without the other party noticing his presence.

Then, within this one minute, Otto had to complete the processes of 'killing Yuan Yan', 'confirming Yuan Yan's death', and 'sealing the Herrscher of Corrosion with the black box'.

Only within the Divine Grace Barrier, a barrier that could completely disable Honkai energy-related powers, would Otto dare approach the powerful enemy who could instantly "kill" him.

So... alas, I can only continue to wait for the opportunity.

My old friend had not been very nice to Yuan Yan before, but... I was a little too impatient at the time.

If I had known at that time that Gray Snake had a trump card to restrain Yuan Yan, I would not have asked my old friend to teach Yuan Yan sword energy, which led to excessive contact between her and Yuan Yan.

As for Ghost, I've already asked her to test her old friend. Now all I have to do is wait for Ghost's feedback...

Oh, there's news so soon?

After spending about ten seconds scanning the brief report submitted by Ghost, Otto nodded with satisfaction.

Very good, the old friend’s attitude towards Yuan Yan is still not very good.

Finally, things didn't go in the worst direction.

Regarding this matter...I'd better not tell her about it to my old friend for now.

Although I would be more confident if she helped me, for some reason I always felt that it was not appropriate to let her know about this plan.

"Oh, this is..."

After seeing the name [FuHua] pop up on the communication device, Otto immediately connected to the voice communication.

"Otto, I always feel that something is not right."

On the other side of the voice communication, Fu Hua recalled the lines that Yuan Yan had written for her and relayed them to Otto.

"Although the theft of the Serenity Gem was an accident, and Yuan Yan does indeed hate Cocolia, but... I still feel something is not right."

"Do you have a feeling that he is collecting Herrscher cores and then trying to implant the others into his own body?"

"...My friend, you are absolutely right."

Otto, who already had this idea in mind, spoke seriously to Fu Hua.

"Do you know who his actions remind me of?"

"...Kiana?"

After hearing Fu Hua's answer that was close to the correct answer, Otto corrected her.

"To be precise, it was Xilin fourteen years ago."

Recalling the scenes of fourteen years ago, Otto spoke to Fu Hua with lingering fear.

"At her peak, Xilin absorbed six Herrscher Gems."

"And even you back then were defeated by her."

...Isn't this all your fault?!

Fu Hua wanted to curse, but she suppressed her inner anger and forced herself to hold back the words.

Otto, who had no idea what Fu Hua was thinking, continued to speak to Fu Hua without knowing what was going on.

"Although Yuan Yan's current performance doesn't seem as good as Xilin's back then, I think there's nothing wrong with my guess that he's collecting the Herrscher core."

"If he continues to collect the Herrscher of Death's core, he will become even more powerful and will be more easily seduced by Honkai and join their camp."

"So, I hope you can try your best to take the Serenity Gem before him."

"It's a little difficult."

Fu Hua, who was already rushing according to the ghost's news, spoke to Otto in a bad mood.

"My strength is not what it used to be. Even with Yu Duchen's strength, I might not be able to control this crazy opponent."

"His mind may have been disturbed for a long time. Facing such a madman, Yu Duchen's power may not be effective. Let Youlan Daier come to help me, otherwise I may not be able to defeat him if a fight breaks out."

"...That's the only thing I'd rather forget."

Hearing Fu Hua's rare words of weakness, Otto said to Fu Hua helplessly.

"Bianca, let her wait outside. After all, Singapore is still a neutral country."

"Forget about sneaking in like you, but if other Valkyries come in brazenly, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them."

I feel like this guy is treating me like an idiot and he doesn't even bother to find a reason to be polite to me - are you someone who cares about these things?

But never mind, it's better this way.

Although Yulandel already knew the truth, she was still in a state of uncertainty.

If she really came in, I would have to inform Yuan Yan to be mentally prepared, but Otto actually took the initiative to let her stay outside... This is actually more beneficial to us.

"Tsk, forget it, I'll go first."

"Old friend, remember to bring back the gems first. After all, when Yuan Yan comes, he will definitely not let Cocolia go."

"understood."

After interrupting the communication with Otto, Fu Hua immediately mobilized Yu Duchen's power again and informed Yuan Yan of the information she had through mental communication.

After confirming that Yuan Yan would rush to Cocolia as quickly as possible and notified the people at the Anti-Entropy headquarters to prepare for the war, Fu Hua finally felt relieved.

She could feel that the other party trusted her as an ally in all aspects.

To be honest, when both parties completely trust each other and don't have to consider any messy calculations, she really feels that the efficiency of both parties is much higher.

However, after she forcibly activated Yu Duchen's power for the second time, Fu Hua still couldn't bear the severe pain in her body. She knelt on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it, my body..."

Obviously, Otto had indeed helped me heal some of my injuries, but after using Yu Duchen, my injuries became even worse.

If I continue like this, perhaps my fighting strength will only become weaker and weaker due to my physical condition.

As for this operation...if this could end everything like this, that would be great.

Although it's a pity that Theresa is not here, it's also a good thing.

She and Otto are family. Even if her sense of justice and her feelings for her past relatives and friends make her disgusted with Otto's behavior, it does not mean that there is no love between her and Otto.

If we can kill Otto directly in this operation, then...

——Theresa, you won’t have to face this tragic future of fighting with your loved ones.

Volume 1: Chapter 100. Stupidity

Singapore. Queen's Hotel. Basement

After receiving the notification from Bronya, Cocolia actually immediately asked her subordinates to try to leave Singapore using the quantum teleportation system.

But after her men failed to transfer, Cocolia finally realized one thing: the worst had happened.

Although the quantum teleportation system was developed by her last year based on the X10 experimental data, she had to admit that the talents on the radical side were indeed not as good as the two dwarfs on the conservative side in scientific research.

Those two dwarfs had gotten their hands on her experimental data at some point, and during the period of Changkong City's collapse, they had already created a quantum teleportation system that surpassed hers.

During this period, Kokolia actually had the idea that "the quantum teleportation system will be countered sooner or later."

But she never thought that this day would come so soon.

According to Cocolia's plan, after soaking the Serenity Gem in liquid Honkai energy crystals, she could leave this place and wait for the fourth Honkai to break out in Singapore.

But now, she can't leave.

And now, with her actions, the outbreak of the fourth Honkai is a foregone conclusion.

Cocolia, who originally only wanted to create the Herrscher of Death and then let Destiny and Anti-Entropy deal with this guy, now has to face an extremely embarrassing situation.

If she starts to flee for her life now, then the anti-entropy and destiny that already know her in this city will definitely not let her go.

If she didn't leave, after the fourth collapse, even if the collapse didn't kill her, the Herrscher of Death would kill all the living things around her in the first place.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Herrscher she created with that DNA had not yet awakened to sufficiently powerful strength and intelligence.

In this situation, even though Cocolia still appeared calm in front of her subordinates, she was actually extremely panicked inside.

As for Maki... Cocolia had no intention of caring about the old man's life or death from the beginning.

The fact that Maki has managed to become the chief scientist of the Third Institute of Destiny is enough to prove that this old man is a capable scientific researcher.

But looking at the old man's "Yin Jiu" gaze, Cocolia always felt very uncomfortable for some reason.

Although they were partners, Maki's gaze made her feel that the other party did not take her seriously at all.

In this situation, even if the other party has sufficient ability, Cocolia is too lazy to use the other party's talents for her own benefit.

She didn't have time to be lukewarm anymore.

Now most of the radical factions have cut ties with her. In this situation, if she intends to continue her actions, she can only muddy the waters to find a chance of victory.

In this case, she hoped that the unpleasant old man would work together with her to create a better future...

"Lord Cocolia, the concentration index has reached two thousand."

Next to Cocolia, a radical member wearing protective clothing spoke to Cocolia, who was also wearing protective clothing.

"If we continue like this, I don't know if the Fourth Honkai Impact will break out, but we will definitely be in danger."

"I know, so?"

Hearing Cocolia's impatient question, the man, who was glanced at by the other party, swallowed the suggestion of "Why don't we retreat first" back into his stomach.

This woman is absolutely crazy.

If she didn't know where my family lived, there was no way I could continue to act under her at this time.

"Okay, I know you're upset right now, but—"

"Cocolia, I feel like you owe me more and more explanations."

Before Cocolia was about to say something, the gray snake slowly walked down from the entrance of the basement and stared at Cocolia with its mechanical prosthetic eyes.

"Before this operation, you seemed to think you had a sure win."

"But now, the quantum teleportation system has been disrupted. In this case, your death seems to be a foregone conclusion."

"It seems like all the capital I invested in you has vanished into thin air. You've managed to keep me in business at a loss to this point. You're truly a talent worthy of my admiration."

"Mr. Gray Snake."
