'You are really newborns!'
'Hahaha! ’
'Hehehe!'
"I've always wanted to see your face that shows you resent me, you stupid donkey!"
'It's a fox, not a donkey, you newborns!'
Yaesakura took another deep breath and closed her eyes.
calm down.
Not angry.
These were all known plots, they just came a little unexpectedly, it's no big deal.
Yaezakura opened her eyes, revealing a sharp and determined light.
"Although I don't know what Mr. Otto is doing, but Skyman needs a leader. Let's go, they have been waiting for a long time... Rita, gather all the Valkyries at the headquarters; Amber, prepare for the live broadcast to all Skyman colleagues; Yulandel, follow me."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Bishop!" ×3
Seeing that Yaezakura lived up to their expectations, came out of her chaotic mood, and showed the proper leadership style, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they solemnly accepted the order as if they were facing the archbishop.
……
"Good morning to all of you at Tenmi. I'm Yaesakura."
Otto quit.
Fortunately, he designated a successor, who was also an S-rank Valkyrie who had fought against the Herrscher several times and whose reputation was enough to convince the Valkyrie group.
But no matter how you look at it, this is a sudden change.
Therefore, Yaezakura needs to step forward at the first opportunity to stabilize the hearts of the people in Tianming.
"As you all know, Archbishop Otto announced the existence of the Honkai Impact to the world three hours ago, and announced his abdication at the same time... I know you are panicking now, please believe me, I am panicking too, he didn't tell me in advance!"
Yaesakura patted the podium, her pretty face showing an extremely serious and worried expression.
The Valkyries in the audience and the Valkyries from all over the world on the other side of the Internet all smiled at the same time and suddenly closed the distance between them.
Yes, who wouldn't be panicked when the man who had ruled for five hundred years and was believed by everyone to lead them until they defeated the collapse suddenly said he was quitting?
"But thinking back, it's not so strange. There is no immortal warrior, nor is there an invincible leader. Otto Apocalis has been like a towering tree, guiding destiny and protecting the world for five hundred years. We can't imagine how strong his wisdom and faith are, nor can we understand how tired he is. Imagine, an elder who cares about us sincerely has to witness us go to the front line and sacrifice again and again. What kind of torture would that be?"
Yaezakura explains Otto's abdication.
Although people who are familiar with him feel that he may just want to quit.
But to the outside world, we still have to speak more nicely.
Chapter 423 A Rainy Day
"As everyone knows, Archbishop Otto has lived for more than 500 years. Starting from Saint Karen, he and successive generations of Valkyries have been defending the world for more than 500 years. The rock that cannot be broken by the whirlpool will also be worn away by the erosion of time. It's just that he has been convincing himself that the day when cracks appear has not yet come."
"I wonder what kind of opportunity would make him finally decide to step down?"
"Perhaps it was just a rainy day when he was walking on the street and heard a businessman praising his subordinates: You have completed your duty, now go and rest. Then he stopped among the people coming and going, and began to ask himself in his heart: Have I completed my duty?"
Yaesakura uses a gentle voice to narrate a romantic and sad scene.
Most Valkyries have read Otto's biography.
Therefore, most Valkyries can imagine the archbishop who is standing still and constantly asking himself questions.
"Otto Apocalis did his best. If you want to know his achievements, please look at this world that has developed steadily for 500 years, the road under your feet, the people around you... All these ordinary things are his contribution."
"Now, we are entering a new era."
"I can't guarantee that I can do better than Archbishop Otto. I should say that no one in the world can guarantee that."
"What I can guarantee is that, like him, I will care about everyone in Tianming, uphold justice, and say no to all evil. Like him, I will do my best to think and think, and I will also do my best to protect the people. I promise that when the final battle comes, I will charge at the forefront of you and resolutely defend the future of mankind!"
"I am Yaesakura, and I will soon take over the duties of Archbishop of Destiny. Please look at me and believe me. I'm counting on you all!"
Facing the Valkyries gathered at the headquarters and all the branches of Tenmi, Yaezakura beat her chest with her hands and bent her noble waist deeply.
A new leader - this understanding, after Yaesakura's speech, gradually became engraved in the hearts of countless people.
There was a long silence.
It lasted so long that countless Valkyries looked at each other in confusion.
You have to know that the last time the Archbishop was replaced was more than 500 years ago. No one thought that they would experience the change of the position of the Archbishop of Heaven, and naturally there were no corresponding rules to follow.
Until a floating projection appeared, showing Delta sitting in a wheelchair, with Wendy and the head of the Oceania branch on her left and right.
"The Oceania branch, and the S-rank Valkyrie Delta and S-rank Valkyrie Wendy stationed at this branch, salute Archbishop Yaesakura-sama!"
Then there are the projections of Theresa, Anqi and Fu Hua.
"The Far East Branch, and the S-rank Valkyrie Anqi and S-rank Valkyrie Fu Hua stationed at the Far East Branch, greet Archbishop Yaesakura!"
The two most influential branches of Tianming set an example, and the rest of the branches immediately followed suit.
"Coral Island Branch..."
"Arctic Ocean Branch..."
"Scott Branch..."
"The ninth experimental base..."
"Greetings to Archbishop Yaesakura!" ×N
Finally, Yulandel and Rita stood in front of Yaesakura, facing her, and knelt on one knee.
"The Destiny Headquarters, and the S-rank Valkyries Yulandel and Rita stationed at the headquarters, pay homage to the Destiny Bishop Yaezakura, and swear allegiance to the Archbishop until death!"
"I pay my respects to the Archbishop Yaezakura, and pledge my loyalty to you till death!" ×N
All the Valkyries present at the headquarters knelt on one knee at the same time.
The neat and uniform movements and the solemn atmosphere of the scene symbolized that the power had completed its initial transition. At least, Yaezakura firmly received her own strong claim. Before she made a mistake, no one could question her legitimacy due to Otto's residual power and S-class reputation.
Yaesakura heaved a sigh of relief, straightened up, looked at the people kneeling in front of her, and then raised her sword to the sky.
"Boom!!!"
The energy that surged into the sky shattered the large clouds around Sky Island. The powerful force rushed violently over the land of Sky Island beside all the Valkyries at the headquarters.
Everyone's heart was shaken. At this moment, nothing could be more reassuring than this abyssal and soul-stirring terrifying power.
……
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
"On a rainy day... on a rainy day... Hahaha! How much misunderstanding does she have about you? No, I should say how badly you have deceived her, Otto? Hahaha!"
Klosten, the final experimental site chosen by Otto. [Fu Hua] put her left hand on Ji Lin's shoulder, and her right hand on A Lin's shoulder, laughing so hard that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't straighten her back.
"Haha! I can't hold it anymore, tears... tears are coming out of my eyes from laughing!"
"It's just some necessary beautification in the process of power transfer, to convince the public to recognize this succession. As a result, she has successfully overcome the initial difficulties. In the next few days, she will prepare a suitable coronation ceremony to completely stabilize the destiny of the country. And they are destined to be very busy in these few days, which will give us undisturbed quiet time to complete this experiment."
Otto looked at this abandoned town that held many complicated memories, feeling his emotions fluctuate, and responded nonchalantly.
[Fu Hua] was very sensitive to Otto's emotional changes - it was very strange. In her past memories, this guy was like a bottomless pool of water. Everything was hidden under the dark water, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
“Is there anything special about this place?”
“It’s very special to me.”
"Oh... forget about that for now. Anyway, you made the right choice by choosing Sakura. I like her. Don't worry, I will take care of you after you die. Just consider it as repaying you for all the favors you have shown me over the years."
"Thank you very much, old friend."
Otto said with a smile.
[Fu Hua] shuddered and didn't really want to acknowledge the title of old friend.
However, during this period of time, she was in the laboratory, and although she didn't understand anything else, she did understand that Otto would never return. Without the grudge of a headshot, Otto was still a collaborator in Fu Hua's eyes, and at this moment, she would not be so fussy about a dying man.
At this time, the team of scientists who had set up all the facilities in the high church also came to the square.
Visible to the naked eye, this dilapidated abandoned town was gradually covered by a new layer of phantom - it was an illusion from five hundred years ago, being pulled back into the world.
"The memory of the past, an illusory parallel world, everything seems to be going well."
Otto put his hands on the railing, looking down at the city that was gradually becoming classical and magnificent, with a happy smile on his face.
Then, he turned around and saw this super group that he had never dared to dream of, and bowed sincerely to express his gratitude.
"No need to say more about the scene. Otto, we have already completed all the preliminary preparations. The next step is to see if you can really seize the position of a Herrscher. Are you sure you can use the Plague Stone?"
"Before I fully understood the Prometheus Project, I would have only had some confidence. But after understanding it, I am sure that I can succeed."
"Dr. Velvet and Dr. Mabius also said that the Prometheus Project is an uncontrollable background program. We are not sure about the form and extent of her intervention in the coil... You must be mentally prepared to face the incarnation of the permission of the coil of the end, the so-called will of collapse."
"I have already done it. I have already done it five hundred years ago."
Otto smiled calmly and took out the plague gem that he had prepared long ago.
An Qi looked at him, her cold eyes gradually revealing a hint of complexity.
No one understood better than Angie where Otto was going and where he would end up.
In this era, there are countless people who can resent Otto, but Angie, who has the identity of Yaezakura, has no such reason. Otto has given his true heart to Yaezakura, and apart from this plan, he is not at all confused.
"I wish you all the best!
At the last moment, the best reward that Angel could give to Otto was this sincere blessing.
Otto was grateful for this. He nodded seriously, took the gem out of the container, and held it tightly in his palm in front of everyone.
The next second, the tremendous heat scorched the earth, as if a sun was born under the night sky.
Chapter 424 Luxurious Lineup
"Boom!!!"
Red flames shot up into the sky, dyeing a large area of the night sky red, and the scorching air spread over the earth.
"Hey~~"
In the heat wave, Vivi held a tablet, looked at the reading that almost broke the critical value, whistled happily, and said:
"Haha! He has reached the range of the normal Herrscher of this era. He has become the Herrscher of Fire. The first stage is successful. The next step is to see if he can successfully see the Will of the Coil born under the influence of Prometheus - the God of Honkai!"
"It will succeed. He met the God of Destruction once during the Second Great Collapse, and it was at that time that this so-called 'God' guided him in the right direction. Not every Herrscher will meet the God of Destruction during the Herrscherization process, but Otto can, because it was the God of Destruction that led him to this point."
Angie said firmly.
It was the so-called "Evil God" who told Otto that he could save Karin in this way, so the "Evil God" would naturally not lose the chain when he was supposed to appear.
Of course, An Qi's judgment comes more from her understanding of the plot.
The fiery red light became more and more dazzling, and the temperature became higher and higher. Angel waved her hand and opened a space hole.
"Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla, this will become a battlefield beyond any major collapse. You are not combatants, please retreat to a safe place."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Tesla and Einstein did not delay and decisively evacuated the scene according to the plan they had discussed in advance.
As for Velvet and Maebius, logically speaking, ordinary Herrschers were far less capable than them, so they were naturally qualified to observe the battle and even fight when necessary.
After that, another black hole in space opened up out of thin air.
It was opened by Angel's clone who had just strengthened her power for Yaesakura. Fu Hua and Raiden Mei walked out of it, bringing with them the Jewish Oath borrowed from Theresa.
At this point, all the personnel required to fight the battle have arrived.
The main force is the two Fu Hua and two Ji Lin from Taixu Mountain, Kiana, the Herrscher of the Sky, and Mei, the Herrscher of Lightning. The one holding the line is Angel from Chimaera Body, with Mebius and Velvet supporting from behind.
Finally, there is Li Suchang holding an ancient sword.
"Rakshasa...Otto..."
