Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

As long as the result meets his expectations, that's fine.

"Are these guys just surrounding us because they have something to hide?"

Raven approached from a distance, fully prepared for battle, but the Valkyries of Destiny remained silent.

Or perhaps destiny has other means.

"War is merely an extension of politics," Gray Serpent chuckled. "Whether or not to fight ultimately depends on whether the contradictions between the two sides can be reconciled."

"It depends on what those big shots choose," Raven waved his hand, walked to the edge of the balcony, and looked at the surrounding buildings with their lights off. His expression gradually became serious, and he stared intently at Gray Snake as he spoke, "If a fight really breaks out, we'll have to pay more."

"You need to apply to the Lord for this matter," Gray Serpent replied calmly, then turned and left.

"Lord?" The raven looked up at the moon. After the lights in the surrounding buildings were turned off, the moon was so bright, yet it seemed so lonely and desolate.

In this world, the Serpent has come to full action, uniting under the command of the 'Lord' in order to completely defeat the Honkai.

The current ruler is Mebius, and the entire world snake is under Mebius's control. Therefore, as an official, one naturally has to ask Mebius for money.

However, just thinking of Möbius's smiling eyes, which seemed to see right through her, evokes a strange sense of awe.

That woman could manipulate her at will.

Such thoughts will inevitably arise in one's mind.

……

……

And it was at such a tense moment.

Inside the Shencheng Pharmaceutical building, a conversation took place between just the two of them.

This is a negotiation between people from a pre-civilization and people from a modern civilization, concerning the future of the entire human race, as well as the fate of 6.5 billion individual humans.

The two sides were separated only by a round table.

“Your timing is perfect. If you had arrived any later, I would have completely seized the initiative.” Möbius seemed somewhat disappointed and couldn’t help but sigh. However, Otto calmly shook his head, interlaced his fingers, rested his elbows on the table, and smiled at Möbius across from him.

"You were the one waiting for me, weren't you?"

Admittedly, he did know that Möbius's plan had reached a critical juncture, and if he didn't intervene, Möbius would inevitably carry out the plan, and the entire human race... would change.

However, if Mebius wanted to do so, he could easily spread the bacterial Honkai Beasts secretly without being informed.

However, Mebius did not do that. Instead, he revealed the plan to Rita and openly took Theresa to drink blood.

This announced the success of her experiment.

"...Frankly, I don't really want to negotiate with you." Mebius did not deny it. This meeting was within her expectations, including Otto's decision to have the Valkyries surround the Divine City Medicine, which was all within her acceptable range.

After all, if the negotiations don't go smoothly, Otto can order the Valkyrie to take action, violently take over her entire plan, and incidentally pry open her mind to get the information he wants.

These are all very natural things.

“Don’t say that. We’re very close, aren’t we?” Otto smiled gently, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Theresa is my granddaughter. We’re… relatives.”

He tilted his head slightly.

"So, does that mean you should call me grandpa too?"

“Theresa and I aren’t married yet,” Möbius said with a smile. “Not to mention the long age gap of fifty thousand years between us.”

“Hehe…it is indeed fifty thousand years.” Otto smiled calmly and confidently, staring intently at Mebius’s pretty face, and slowly said, “But your experience doesn’t span fifty thousand years, does it?”

“Who knows?” Mebius shook his head and chuckled. “Surviving for fifty thousand years is not difficult for Yingjie.”

“That’s a real shame.” Otto smiled as always. “I can’t let Theresa marry an old man who’s lived for fifty thousand years.”

“...It seems I have to admit that I am young.” Möbius sighed. She knew that if she didn’t admit that she was young, the negotiations would become extremely troublesome.

At least Otto wouldn't be as easy to talk to as he is now.

"You've traversed fifty thousand years, yet you're still a young man," Otto asked. "Could it be that you possess the power to travel through time?"

This was his real goal for the trip. He wasn't particularly interested in Möbius's desire to advance the evolution of all humanity. What truly concerned him was whether Möbius possessed the technology of time travel.

This possibility is extremely slim. It is more likely that Möbius originated from another world, or is a clone of Möbius from this world.

But the answer he most hoped for was that the Möbius in front of him was from 50,000 years ago, and was the Möbius who had not yet undergone the super-transformation surgery.

The other party traveled to 50,000 years in the future using unknown technology.

“You’re asking about something that seems impossible to most people,” Möbius said, shaking his head as he asked Otto.

"What would you do if I told you I don't have the technology to travel through time?"

“…That depends on what kind of answer you give.” Otto replied with a smile. He had prepared for every possible answer from Mebius. The Valkyries he had arranged outside the Divine City Medicine were also part of his preparations. He was mentally prepared for whatever answer he might receive.

The atmosphere froze; the empty room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“…I need to handle this properly.” Möbius pressed his fingers lightly to his temples, seemingly finding Otto’s attitude troublesome and difficult to deal with.

Otto did not urge him, but waited silently for Mebius's answer. He had waited for too long and pursued it for too long.

They possess ample patience.

for a long time.

“Time travel, I do have a way,” Möbius replied, “but only if I complete the plan.”

"You want me to help you complete the plan?" Otto stated Möbius's thoughts directly, followed by a gentle smile.

How many chips can you offer?

Chapter 37

Reborn Youth

The negotiations ended, and all the crises and conflicts were swallowed up by the shadows of night. No one knew about the exchange of interests between the Lord of the World Serpent and the Archbishop of Destiny.

However, it is certain that the world has undergone a radical change.

“…Theresa, it seems you’re doing well.” Otto sat gracefully and calmly on the sofa, looking at the flustered and uneasy Theresa across from him, and gave her a gentle smile. “Don’t be nervous, I don’t intend to take you back, I just want to talk to you, just a normal conversation.”

“Yes, I understand.” Theresa pursed her lips slightly, her scarlet eyes darting around, searching for a source of reassurance.

That calm and confident person, who can face all difficulties, is someone I only need to have by my side.

She can remain calm even when facing Otto.

“She’s right outside the door.” Otto shook his head helplessly. “If you call out now, she’ll come to you immediately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Theresa's delicate face show a look of relief yet patience, and he couldn't help but smile.

"It seems you've grown up and are able to face problems proactively. I imagine she'll feel more at ease when she leaves."

"..." Theresa's eyelids drooped slightly, a look of disappointment on her face. She knew that Möbius would leave sooner or later, and she knew that she could not rely on Möbius. The warmth that existed by her side would leave her sooner or later.

Perhaps, I will never have it.

“Don’t be so discouraged, I understand that feeling.” Otto chuckled gently. “If you stay away from the sun in your heart forever, the whole world will be lonely and cold.”

Despite being in the realm of destiny, he understood Theresa's inner thoughts very well. The canary, who had been imprisoned in a cage, finally escaped and thought she had entered a world of freedom and unrestraint.

However, what awaited her was not freedom, but an unprecedentedly cold reality and malice. At this time, she suddenly met a warm and kind person.

It's very easy to see it as the sun in your heart.

“Sister Karen, isn’t she?” Theresa asked softly. During the time of Destiny, she saw Otto treat Sister Karen with extreme gentleness. If it was anything Sister Karen wanted, Otto would definitely find a way to give it to her.

but.

“If there were someone who looked a lot like her, and also named Möbius, would you consider her the one in your heart?” Otto asked Theresa, then chuckled and shook his head. “To me, she’s just someone who looks similar.”

After Karen's body was resurrected, he was filled with joy and excitement, but his excitement only lasted for a while before he was devastated to discover that the resurrected Karen was not the person he had expected, even though she was just as kind and had a sense of justice.

However, it is merely a completely new existence born from an old physical body.

"Then what does Sister Karen mean to you?" Theresa asked, somewhat disappointed.

Otto didn't answer, but simply shook his head and casually changed the subject, "Theresa, if you were given a chance to find her after Mebius left, would you be willing to do it?"

“Of course!” Theresa answered immediately without hesitation. If she could see Möbius again, she would be willing to do anything.

Otto seemed quite satisfied with Theresa's answer, "Then let's work together. I'll help you find her."

His expression turned serious.

"All you need to do is give me a ride on your way to that road, and that's all."

“If this is how I repay you,” Theresa gently shook her head. “I will not ask you for any reward.”

“Even if I don’t ask for payment, I still have to help you build that road.” Otto smiled, stood up gracefully, and left the living room.

Now that he has received final confirmation, the deal with Mebius can be officially carried out.

The greatest evil to mankind is also the greatest good.

Outside the door.

“It seems you got a good answer.” Mebius leaned against the wall, watching Otto come out. She had been waiting outside the door, and if Theresa really needed her help, she would have gone in to respond.

However, Theresa endured it.
