Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 253 Otto and Kiritsugu Emiya's Conspiracy
"Everyone, come this way."

There are a lot of people here.

"Don't fall behind."

A stunningly beautiful woman with long, silver-white hair, magnificent and noble purple eyes, and wearing a white dress held a small flag from Xilu City and reminded the students who were lined up in a long queue behind her in a cool voice.

It was none other than Gu Yuena.

She was originally handling various affairs in Shrek City, but because Roman took leave and disappeared, a lot of work fell on her shoulders.

Since Roman left, Gu Yuena hadn't slept for three consecutive days, focusing intently on solving various tasks with extreme efficiency and precision, much like a cold and ruthless computer.

The entire Shrek City community was stunned. They didn't know whether they should sleep or not. The top council members were working themselves to the bone, while they, the small fry, were forced to work along with them.

Countless office workers in the enthusiastic building began to miss Roman. Although this director liked to slack off, working with him was not tiring at all.

Now that Roman is gone, Gu Yuena's style is completely different from his, focusing on precision and efficiency.

Gu Yuena even wanted to take advantage of Roman's absence to bring the performance evaluation into the Passion Building in Shrek City.

The enthusiastic members of Shrek City were struck dumb. They had all heard of performance appraisals before; it was Huo Yuhao who first proposed it, but it was never implemented for various reasons.

Fortunately, just before implementation, the Xilu City Research Academy needed a strong person to lead the students to Xingluo City to watch the Soul Master Competition.

As part of their study tour.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena volunteered to lead the team, since Gu Qiu'er was still inside. She could roam freely in the Tiandou Plain, as it was a safe place.

It's hard to say about Xingluo City; there are too many people and too many eyes there, and Gu Yuena is worried about it.

Therefore, Gu Yuena personally led the students to Xingluo City to watch the competition.

The college covered all the students' ticket fees, demonstrating their enthusiasm and willingness to spend money.

"Wow, this is Star Luo City!"

"Sister Qiu! There are so many people here!"

A petite little girl with silver hair and red eyes looked around at the streets and crowds with curiosity.

Gu Qiu'er stared with dead fish eyes, her once bright red pupils seemingly tainted by knowledge.

"Oh?"

"Ha, this place is really backward."

"The ground is probably made of a mixture of molten iron ore. This material is simple to make, but it is prone to cracking when heated."

"This thing can only be seen in museums in Xilu City."

Gu Qiu'er complained helplessly, while Ilya next to her disagreed, finding the scene quite interesting.

"Don't say that."

"The school finally gave us a chance to come out, and now that the study tour is over, the monthly exams are coming up soon."

"If I don't do well on the test, my mom will probably be sad again."

Gu Qiu'er glanced sideways at Ilya and said sadly:
"Your parents are just sad."

"I'm much worse off."

"If I don't do well on the test, that guy will come and talk to me again with his black dragon belt!"

"That awful, violent man! What woman would even want him?!"

Ilya chuckled awkwardly, then comforted her, saying:
"Do not say that."

"If your family hears this, he'll get angry again."

“My dad and brother haven’t been home for a long time. My mom said they went on a business trip.”

"I really miss my brother."

"I wonder when they'll be back."

"Ah!"

Far away in the Empire of the Sun and Moon, Shirou Emiya suddenly sneezed. Kiritsugu Emiya and Otto, who were in front of him, both turned to look at him. Otto considerately asked:
"Shirou, what's wrong?"

Emiya Shirou said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Excuse me."

"He probably caught a chill last night."

Please don't mind it.

Otto didn't seem to care about the little incident and said to Kiritsugu Emiya with a smile:

"Has the Third Group of the Roots adapted to the environment here at the Holy Spirit Cult by now?"

Emiya Kiritsugu nodded slightly and said:
"I've already adapted to life here."

"The Holy Spirit Cult is much simpler than I imagined."

"They are nothing more than elders and worshippers, and the Holy Spirit and servants below them."

"The names are all quite good."

"Unfortunately, they do everything except things that involve people."

"No wonder that lord despises these evil spirit masters so much."

Otto also said with a smile:

"Just a bunch of slaves controlled by power."

"Ever since they discovered that they could improve their cultivation by killing human lives, humans have become no different from tonics in their eyes."

"Even so, there are still people in the Hall of Worship who want to vindicate evil spirit masters and prove that they are not born evil, which is both laughable and foolish."

“But a simpler structure makes it easier for you to operate, doesn’t it?” Kiritsugu Emiya did not deny it. The Holy Spirit Cult was much easier to get along with than he had imagined. As long as he revealed his identity as a demon soul master, they would accept him quickly.

Emiya Kiritsugu and his companions added a layer of spiritual suggestion and mimicry to their bodies through Adam, making their martial spirits exude absolute evil aura, which would make anyone who saw them say that it was terrifying.

"Bishop Otto, you must have summoned us here for a mission, right?"

Otto shrugged and said:

"Why are you all starting to call me that too?"

"Never mind, I do have a mission for you this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Otto suddenly produced a stack of photos and a document, which he handed to Kiritsugu Emiya.

Kiritsugu Emiya took it and looked at it, saying:
"Xu Mochen, Wang Shouwen, Xu Yu, Wang Shaojie, Xu Wentao... Kong Deming."

Each name on this list represents status and power in the Sun Moon Empire. Striking it in the palace would cause an earthquake throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire.

However, in Kiritsugu Emiya's hands, this information was now as good as the Death Note, just like the King of Hell's roll call.

"They are all important figures from the Sun Moon Empire."

"Should we kill them all?"

Kiritsugu Emiya remained expressionless, his dark eyes revealing a chilling killing intent. He had no liking for these nobles, and neither did Shirou Emiya.

Otto was very satisfied with Kiritsugu Emiya's gaze. That man really understood him; he and Kiritsugu Emiya got along very well.

"of course."

"They are all stumbling blocks in the great cause of seizing the Sun and Moon Empire."

"These people are all supporters of the royal family, but we can't kill them too quickly."

"That would be too obvious."

"Even a fool can realize the problem."

"You should know very well how to proceed."

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded; he knew what to do, but after a moment's hesitation, he said:
"Everyone else can be easily dealt with, but this Kong Deming might be a bit troublesome."

Otto and Kiritsugu Emiya began circling around Shirou Emiya, giving Shirou a strange sense of déjà vu. Otto spoke as they walked:
"Kong Deming".

"150 years old, level 94, martial soul Silver Moon, level 9 soul master."

"It can be said that he was involved in half of the level nine soul tools in the entire Sun Moon Empire."

"He is the leader of the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire, and an outstanding researcher."

"If I could, I wouldn't want to lay a hand on researchers; they are treasures of wisdom."

"Unfortunately, he blocked my way. He was too loyal and too capable. My Sun Moon Empire cannot tolerate him."

"Kiritsugu, what do you need?"

"Kong Deming must die!"

Kiritsugu Emiya remained silent for a while, but it wasn't out of fear or hesitation; rather, he was pondering a solution.

The strongest level nine soul master has too many defensive soul tools on him.

"If I were him, I would have at least five level-nine defensive soul tools on me."

"There is probably no one in the world who can break through his turtle shell in an instant."

"Making a big fuss would be too disadvantageous for us."

"Therefore, we must find a way to dismantle his soul tool and deliver a fatal blow when he is most relaxed."

"As long as the Origin Missile hits him, Root Group 3 is confident that it can kill him with minimal disturbance."

Just as Shirou Emiya was getting dizzy from the two people's charade, they both stopped at the same time, and Otto smiled and said:
"If it were someone else, there might be no way to help them."

"Dismantle the soul tool's defenses?"

"Heh, I actually have a way to destroy all his soul tools."

Otto's solution was the highest-powered divine grace barrier of the Oath of Judah, a terrifying domain that could weaken energy.

Whether it's bioelectricity or kinetic energy, as long as it's energy, it will be suppressed.

Of course, this version has been modified according to the Douluo Continent rules and is somewhat different from the original.

The same applies to Yu Duchen; both of them have undergone certain modifications to the Douluo rules.

In this world, the Oath of Judah is the martial spirit of Otto's lover, Kallen, which Otto can recreate through the Void Treasury.

Then, through a large supply of dream coins and with Adam's help, the oath that resembles Judah can briefly unleash the power of the original text.

Soul tools are all operated and maintained through soul guidance arrays, and a brief divine grace barrier is enough to turn them all into scrap metal.

Kiritsugu Emiya did not question Otto, and then said:

"The next step is to figure out how to lower his guard."

Otto opened his arms, the hem of his white coat swaying slightly.

"Coronation ceremony."

"On the day Xu Tianran is crowned, he will not only attend, but also let his guard down."

"Kong Deming doesn't care who the emperor is; he only cares about whether the court will be stable."

"The day the new emperor ascends the throne will be the day all the turmoil in the court subsides, and Kong Deming will definitely breathe a sigh of relief."

"That's when the opportunity came."

"On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Deming died suddenly! How pleasing to the ear!"
