"I can answer your question with certainty - if Otto Apocalis appeared in front of me, I might not be able to hold back my anger and attack him."
"But I still want you to know one thing."
"Otto is the one who tricked me, so I am angry at him."
"Besides the extinct anti-Honkai organization from the previous era, there is another entity that is harming you."
"It was the Honkai that made you a Herrscher, and it was also the Honkai that caused so many tragedies."
"Your real enemy is Honkai, so... why do you want to take revenge on the people of our era?"
To be honest, when Ling saw this woman and learned about her past experiences, the only impression she had of Cecilia was that of a 'silly naive girl betrayed by her boss'.
However, as the most powerful Valkyrie in the former destiny, Cecilia Shaniyat has to deal with a lot of things on a daily basis.
Such a person may look very gentle, but in fact, as one of the leaders of the combat unit, how could she be a naive person who knows nothing?
And now, when Cecilia pointed out Ling's other enemy with a bit of doubt, Ling really felt...
——How come what this woman said makes sense???
Yes, the people of this era have no grudge against me.
The Honkai that turned me into a Herrscher is my greatest enemy.
It’s strange, why didn’t I realize this obvious problem in the past? ? ? ?
At this moment, Ling suddenly remembered another Herrscher of this era.
That guy was not only her 'colleague', but also from the same era as her.
Hua, a warrior of the Fire Moth, an organization that fought against the Honkai Impact in the previous era.
After she was chosen by Honkai and given the Herrscher Core, she was obviously "bewitched" by Honkai to a certain extent.
Although the way Honkai bewitched her was to make her Herrscher personality do something that "seemed fine, but was actually in the interests of Honkai", this was enough to show that Honkai could play a certain guiding role in the Herrscher's personal will.
So, for the past fifty thousand years... I have been played around by my greatest enemy?
When Ling thought about how she had become such a miserable lackey of her enemy, she felt that her heart was completely filled with murderous intent.
However, even though she realized this, Ling, who now felt that she was in a difficult situation, still looked at Cecilia with a sinister expression.
"Do you think I will completely believe your words?"
"You must be planning to use me just like Honkai!"
"That's not the case."
After shaking her head slightly, Cecilia whispered to Ling.
"I say this not because I hope you will join us, but because I hope you will see your true enemy and not fight with us in vain."
"I hope everyone can live happily, and Miss Ling, in my eyes, you are also qualified to do so."
"Tsk, I don't want to listen to your hypocritical words!"
After saying this, Ling immediately left Cecilia's sight with a gloomy face.
However, Cecilia, who watched the other party leave, knew very well in her heart that Ling's hatred for the humans of this era had now weakened a lot.
Although it is not easy to expect Ling to completely give up her obsession of tens of thousands of years, in Cecilia's opinion, a good start is always a good thing.
only......
Alas, I hope everyone can be happy, but not everyone thinks so.
Otto, after failing in his attempt to kill Siegfried, actually did these strange things to Siegfried and Kiana.
Not only that, he also resurrected the child Xilin.
Although Cecilia tried to give Celine the motherly love that warmed her heart at the end of her life, this does not mean that Cecilia felt that Celine would give up her hatred because of her feelings.
Xilin, I still hope you can live happily.
But if you're still ready to destroy the world like you were back then...
——I will definitely try my best to stop you, just like I did back then.

Chapter 250: The marriage is still unfinished
World Snake Base
In the World Serpent's headquarters, Kevin looked at the intelligence analysis summary handed to him by Gray Serpent through the intelligence screen and fell into deep thought.
About half a month has passed since he lost to Lin Yu.
During this half month, the situation that Kevin imagined, "God will pursue the victory", did not occur.
During this half month, most of the combat forces of Tianming seemed to be patrolling and fighting against the Honkai incident as usual.
However, Gray Snake, who had planted several spies at the Tianming headquarters, only managed to obtain some information after losing several of them.
After Gray Snake sorted it out, he handed the summary of the intelligence with personal speculation to Kevin, who had been recovering from his injuries during this period.
During this half month, Destiny and Anti-Entropy put aside their past hatreds and chose to form a temporary alliance.
Shenzhou, which was originally an ally of Tianming, has seen its relationship with its "old friend" Tianming deteriorate visibly during this period.
Well, it's a bit wrong to say it's getting worse.
According to the gray snake's markings, after Lin Yu promised to give Shenzhou a part of the [Soul Steel Armor], Shenzhou, which obtained actual benefits, had a closer relationship with Tianming overall.
However, after Hua, who was known as the Red Kite Immortal, returned to Shenzhou, she seemed to show a certain resistance to the destiny.
In addition, the weapons research room of Tenmi also began to study the God-killing armor that could assist the Herrschers Mei and Yuno Raiden.
Finally, coupled with the sudden disappearance of the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle that was originally stationed at the Tianming Headquarters, Lin Yu, who defeated Kevin, did not return to the Tianming Headquarters, but was declared to be "going on a secret mission against the World Snake"...
Combining this information, Gray Snake made some inferences.
After the battle with Kevin, the three Herrschers, Mei Raiden, Yuno, and Hayashi Yu, must have had problems to varying degrees.
Considering that Black Abyss and White Flower were right on the battlefield, and that there were three powerful people, Yulandel, Su, and Walter, who knew how to use the Key of Creation, it would be unlikely that the three would be "seriously injured and difficult to treat". Kevin made some bold assumptions based on this information.
"When Lin Yu used that powerful move and put me in an illusion, it only took me a few seconds from the time I was hallucinated to the time I woke up."
"However, within a few seconds, Lin Yu recovered from his injuries easily, which shows that he has no shortage of means to treat his injuries."
"And now, he took the initiative to hide... No, judging from Lin Yu's previous style of behavior, after he defeated me in a real fight, he would only stand up and declare his victory in order to boost the morale of Tianming."
"From this point of view, Lin Yu...something happened."
"Either they have a serious mental problem and are unable to show up, or they simply cannot show up."
Listening to Kevin mumbling these speculations to himself, Gray Snake, the administrator beside Kevin, although he did not show any emotions at this time because he was a cyborg, he was of course ecstatic in his heart.
Since knowing that Lin Yu had become the Ruler of Constraint, the threat posed by Lin Yu in the eyes of the administrator Gray Snake has been further magnified.
And it's not that the administrator Huishe wants to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige, it's mainly...
Lord Kevin didn't win, so there's no point in being tough at this time.
Now that the World Serpent has been crippled, if they hope to continue implementing the Stigmata Plan, Lord Kevin must have enough power to intimidate others.
Only with the power to suppress the world will those fools give up everything they have and help the Lord complete this plan that can save the world.
otherwise......
——The current World Snake is not enough to complete the Stigma Project in terms of influence, economic capabilities, and human resources.
Of course, after Kevin regained his full strength, the administrator Gray Snake believed that the Lord in his full strength would surely be able to defeat that hateful Lin Yu.
But now, Kevin, who had only absorbed half of Chiyou's energy and was severely injured by Lin Yu, was recovering his strength too slowly.
Now that the collapse is clearly accelerating, everyone is short of time.
By the time Kevin recovers his peak strength, it will be too late to execute the Stigmata Plan.
So Lin Yu is gone, and this is something that Gray Snake is very happy about.
If he hadn't known that his boss seemed to have other thoughts, the current administrator Gray Snake would have opened a few more cans of champagne.
"Well, it's not just Lin Yu."
Kevin, who had no idea that his subordinates were already imagining a bright future, continued to mutter to himself.
"The God-killing Armor... was equipped by the Valkyrie named Yulandel."
"The bonus is indeed very good, but for a Herrscher, it's a bit underwhelming."
"That's not right. Could it be that..."
Kevin, who had some guesses in his mind at this time, suddenly remembered the scenes he saw through Kaslana's stigmata fourteen years ago.
Fourteen years ago, the Herrscher of the Void, as a special individual, was able to minimize the burden of holding multiple Herrscher cores after absorbing the cores of other Herrschers.
Kevin, who relied on Kaslana's stigmata to communicate with his junior Siegfried at the time, saw what consequences the Herrscher of the Void caused at the end of his life after he was defeated by Siegfried.
Kevin, who saw the battle through Kaslana's stigmata, judged that when the Herrscher of the Void, who possessed the three cores of Void, Fire, and Wind, was on the verge of death, the Honkai energy released by the cores would pollute a large area around it.
According to Kevin's rough estimate at the time, half of Asia was probably doomed.
It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary single-core Herrscher of the Void to possess this level of power.
Now, the two Herrschers began to fight with the help of the God Killer Armor, and...
Although Otto did not explicitly state his plan, his desire for the Sky Key and the Beacon was enough for me to guess one thing.
Siegfried saw that the blond masked man was the one who let the Herrscher of the Sky escape.
And the blond masked man was obviously Otto who used the Void Manzang.
Otto, who longs for the Key of the Sky, the Beacon, and the way to release the Herrscher of the Sky...
The disappearance of the Key of the Sky might have something to do with him.
At this moment, Kevin, looking at the plague gem floating beside him, suddenly had an absurd idea in his mind.
The Herrscher cores of this era have not been processed by us yet, and are actually all 'living' cores.
The core of the Herrscher of the Sky is also in Otto's hands...
If he finds another body to implant this core into, can a new Ruler of the Void be born?
Combined with the information I have, it is not completely impossible for Otto to complete this plan.
The two Herrschers suddenly began to use the unnecessary armor to increase their own strength...
"Lord."
At this moment, the administrator Gray Snake suddenly received a message and asked Kevin very respectfully.
"Mr. Otto sent a message saying that he hopes to trade the 'Beacon' with us."
"This is the fifth time he has requested this transaction in the past half month."
“…Oh, I see.”
The message Otto sent at this time actually confirmed Kevin's seemingly wild guess.
This is not something that is completely impossible to happen. Once all the factors are gathered together, the probability of it happening becomes higher and higher.
Let's test Destiny and Otto.
"Gray Snake, do you have any other hidden players in the Destiny Headquarters?"
"Yes, but... the other spies I sent to the Destiny Headquarters have basically no combat capabilities."
After instantly realizing that the gray snake had misunderstood his thoughts, Kevin shook his head helplessly and said to the gray snake.
"Even if it means exposing this hidden player, you must pass this message to the top leaders of the Tianming headquarters."
"what?"
"Tell them that if a Herrscher loses its core, it can still use this method to condense the core back into its body as long as it can absorb enough Houkai energy at the 'Singularity'."
"And Changkong City is the singularity of this world."
"As for Otto, tell him to wait patiently."
"The beacon needs to cooperate with the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle to conduct transactions, otherwise it will be meaningless - if he still makes trouble, you can tell him this."
