“The Queen herself is strong enough, but other than that…”

Bai Yasha looked at the scene in which Cecilia was pinching Otto’s neck and lifting his soul steel body, and his tone was somewhat helpless.

“…It is very difficult to satisfy everyone. It is not that the Queen cannot do it, but she will not do it, even if she is one of the satisfied people.”

“She would choose to use a simpler approach to deal with the problem – that is to make everyone unhappy, even if she is one of the unhappy people.”

After revealing the answer to the puzzle, Baiyasha’s tone became casual.

“Even if the queen had extracted the man’s soul from his puppet body and killed him completely, this behavior probably wouldn’t have disappointed the man. Although we don’t know what the man wants, we can see that if the ending goes in that direction, the man would also accept death calmly and willingly.”

“Although in terms of the result, the Queen won by killing him, but this is too much of a win-win situation, which will make the Queen unhappy.”

“She will never satisfy everyone, so she would rather be dissatisfied herself than satisfy Otto.”

“This is the Queen, the little garden problem that has troubled countless gods and Buddhas.”

……

208. There shouldn’t have been that choice in the first place!

Since the Halloween Queen would rather make both parties unhappy and disgust each other, the whole thing becomes simple.

The queen who replaced Cecilia grabbed Otto, and then Otto’s soul steel clone slowly melted under some gift from the queen. Whether Otto could feel the pain or not, Roland and others who were watching this scene didn’t know, but in any case, Otto didn’t even scream and watched everything with cold eyes.

Then…

There isn’t much to follow up on this actually.

“This guy ate part of Otto’s identity when he captured Otto’s clone just now.”

Roland had learned a lot about the small garden from Baiyasha during this period of time. After understanding the queen’s thoughts, he could see what the queen had done.

So he explained it to Ryougi Shiki and Cecilia.

“Although it is very crude to directly consume the other party’s identity, it is impossible to completely consume Otto’s identity as the Archbishop of Destiny, but with this guy’s control over this ability, it is not a problem to consume the part he needs.”

“So… just now she should have eaten up Otto’s identity as the Archbishop of Heavenly Destiny.”

Hearing Roland say this, Cecilia began to worry, and Ryougi Shiki also frowned.

Then what happened next was exactly as Roland said.

The queen with Cecilia’s face directly became the Archbishop of Destiny, and immediately ordered the destruction of Otto’s Soul Steel clone, and labeled the Apokalis family, to which Otto belonged, as traitors and launched a full-scale encirclement and suppression!

In fact, it stands to reason that even if the queen becomes the Archbishop of Destiny, the Valkyries under her are unlikely to carry out such orders.

Even if the queen ate Otto’s status as archbishop, it would inevitably be questioned.

However, when the queen gave the order, she directly announced the problems in the Siberian laboratory, and blamed Otto for all the dark side of Destiny over the years. So when the Valkyries saw these things, they were silent at first, and then directly obeyed the queen’s instructions and took action!

But Otto had anticipated this. When the queen announced those things, Otto understood which part of his identity had been eaten up and which part had not been eaten up, so he calmly found Theresa during this period of time, and then he and Theresa went to find Siegfried who had escaped and had not yet returned to the Kaslana family, and used the soul steel clone to take some things he needed.

Among them, the Key of God – Void Wanzang, the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire and the Oath of Judah were also taken away by him.

Before the Valkyries could take action, Otto, Theresa, and the reluctant Siegfried fled to the Far East.

The observation footage of the parallel world ends here.

This means that in the Honkai world, the location corresponding to the current time point here is this one.

“Okay, now it looks like this is the situation on the other side. If Rin were here, then we would have more options, but if Rin isn’t here, then we can only go to this time point – so do you have any questions?”

After hearing what Roland said, Cecilia thought for a moment. Although she was very worried when she saw that the guy who replaced her identity really became the Archbishop of Destiny, she forced herself to calm down before asking her question.

“Roland, how many people can we take with us?”

“Three.”

Roland spread his hands helplessly.

“Traveling through parallel worlds is Rin’s specialty, but she can only bring a few people at a time with her specially made ceremonial outfit. If she needs to move people, she needs to do it multiple times, or ask Zelrich for help. So if I’m in charge, three is the maximum, and she can’t move people multiple times.”

Having said that, Roland gave a supplementary reminder.

“Of course, the three other than me.”

“I can get through without the ceremonial outfit that Rin prepared, so you two can bring one more person.”

Hearing Roland say this, Cecilia fell into deep thought.

Who should I take with me?

Cecilia saw the situation on the other side. Although she was also dissatisfied with what Otto had done, she planned to go find Theresa – and the situation on Theresa’s side was obviously not good, so with limited manpower, she had to make a careful choice.

She must go back.

If Roland wanted to bring Ryougi Shiki along, then he must have his reasons. Besides, Cecilia had been a member of the gods for so long, and she knew that there were only four people in the gods who had condensed the godhood, not counting Roland, and Ryougi Shiki was one of them, so she had no objection.

And the last one…

Well, we have almost enough manpower for the battle, but considering Theresa’s situation, let’s bring someone with scientific research ability as the last one!

“How about… ask Dr. Mobius if he wants to go?”

The first person Cecilia thought of was actually Mei.

She has a very good relationship with Mei, and as a scientific researcher, Mei is indeed more comprehensive than Mobius and Velvet.

But the only problem is that Mei’s combat effectiveness is questionable.

On the other hand, Velvi and Mebius, the former has first-class escape ability and strong fighting ability, while the latter’s ability to survive is so bad that even Cecilia herself has a headache.

So she didn’t choose mei.

When Roland heard Cecilia say this, he nodded.

There’s nothing wrong with taking Mobius with us.

After all, these thirteen fire-chasing heroes of the previous civilization have all joined the group of gods. So even though the other side is a parallel world, the thirteen heroes here have concluded the parallel world, so the thirteen people who failed to become heroes over there will not leave any heavy traces. Even the Key of God will probably only mark the maker, and will not explain or record anything in detail.

So in this case, it doesn’t matter who you bring with you.

“Okay, you guys go find Mebius, I’ll start preparing here – if Mebius refuses, you go find Vilvi, and if Vilvi doesn’t come either, you bring Prometheus over and let Prometheus go with us.”

“So in three hours, we will gather at Underground Workshop No. 1, and that’s when we’ll set off. Is that ok?”

“no problem!”

…

Roland was preparing to set off, while Otto, Theresa, Siegfried, and the Valkyries and people loyal to the Apocalips family who had fled to the Far East, who were willing to follow Theresa, found a base and were currently repairing it. Otto, Theresa, and Siegfried also gathered together.

“Why did you bring me along when you fled here? Really, I’ve been away from my family for so many years.”

At this moment, Siegfried was not yet a qualified soldier because he had not met Cecilia. He was just a wandering detective, so he could not understand why Otto came to him.

Otto smiled when he heard his complaints.

“Although you escaped a long time ago, our Apokalis family, your Kaslana family, and the Shaniyat family have always been core members of the Destiny, so I have always been paying attention to you.”

“Siegfried, I have always believed that you are not running away because you have no ability. You just don’t intend to show your strength and want to make your life easier. But now that destiny has encountered such a change, our Apokalis family has been wronged by the archbishop and ordered to be hunted down without giving us the opportunity to defend ourselves… Although I feel sorry, I have to find you, the only Kaslana who is outside of destiny.”

“I need your strength.”

Hearing Otto say this, Siegfried was still a little unhappy, but he didn’t say anything else.

After all, Siegfried has not experienced those messy things yet, and he is not so mature at the moment.

After a few words of flirting with Otto, some promises of conditions, some attention, some building relationships, and some playing sympathy, Siegfried, who was still a hot-blooded man of his age, stayed.

And when he saw that he agreed, the smile on Otto’s face became a little more obvious.

On the contrary, Theresa was not as calm as Otto.

Now she can hardly believe that so many things have happened in such a short time.

especially…

After Theresa started to get in touch with Cecilia, she quickly discovered that there was something wrong with Cecilia!

She knew Cecilia too well.

So she was very sure that the guy who now sat in the position of Archbishop of Heaven’s Destiny was not Cecilia at all!

This is also the core reason why she followed Otto to the Far East.

I ran away, but…

Theresa frowned when she thought of the Valkyries who were willing to follow her.

She is not Siegfried. As the current Valkyrie, she has of course also seen the evidence of the Siberian laboratory.

She was very sure that it was not a false accusation!

Even though it was an artificial stigma experiment that was very important to the Valkyrie, using some living people for experiments… Theresa just couldn’t accept it!

Even if she had no good alternative to artificial stigmata, even if she would be called an idealist and naive, Theresa would not hesitate on such a matter!

It’s like two countries are at war, and country A invades the territory of country B. As a citizen of country B, you say that staying alive is the most important thing, so as long as country B surrenders, most people will survive by working as dogs for country A. So, saying that being a dog is what a smart person should do is the same as carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.

Although many people think that these two things cannot be equated.

But to Theresa, the nature is the same.

So things that cannot be done cannot be done. It’s not that you made a cruel choice, but that you shouldn’t have made that choice in the first place!

What grandpa did was too much!

But we have to pay attention to Cecilia’s situation!

Now the entire destiny is hunting us, and our forces are too weak!

When Theresa thought about these things, she felt like her head was about to explode.

But because the Siberian laboratory was exposed, Theresa now doesn’t quite trust Otto as her grandfather.

So Theresa, who had always been under the protection of Otto and Cecilia, began to come into contact with this complicated and confusing matter for the first time.

Now that Otto, her grandfather, could no longer be relied upon, she thought of Cecilia again…

Cecilia, a bad guy disguised as you has shown up, what about you…are you okay?

…two….

209. Reinforcements

“So this is what it feels like to travel through parallel worlds… It’s pretty normal.”

Mebius stood beside Roland, clenching his chin as he thought about all this and gave his own evaluation.

Ryougi Shiki and Cecilia, who had just walked out of the Gem Shuttle, nodded repeatedly when they heard what Mebius said.

After all, those who know that this is traveling through parallel worlds, and those who don’t… it seems to be no different from taking a tram?

As he spoke, Mebius looked at Roland.

This shuttle device was a bit ordinary, but the way Roland came over was quite interesting—he waited for them all to come over, and then suddenly emerged from the shadows!

Mebius already knew that Roland could rely on his shadow to move long distances, but she never expected that Roland could do the same thing across a parallel world.

“Well, after all, this thing is said to be made according to the carriages of trams and trains. It would be strange if there were too big differences. Anyway, we have come to a parallel world now. You know the situation here. Now I think we should go find Otto, Theresa, Siegfried and the others.”

After hearing what Roland said, the others nodded and followed him, heading towards the city from this extremely remote place.

…

“Grandpa, do we actually have reinforcements?”

Theresa stood beside Otto, looking at him in confusion.

Although she was dissatisfied with many of Otto’s behaviors, she also knew that her destiny was now controlled by a stranger, so now was not the time to pick on these things.

Since the archbishop has already pointed out the problem in Siberia, even if she doesn’t take care of it, the Valkyries will take the initiative to take care of it.

Compared to this, what they need to worry about more now is themselves.

Being hunted by destiny is not something that can be talked about with a smile, at least for Theresa. She has been worried to the point of losing her hair recently.

Otto, on the other hand, has always been calm.

“of course.”

Otto smiled and patted Theresa on the head.
