One person led the way, and another followed behind.

In less than ten minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the Helheim Laboratory.

A strange and dense Honkai energy enveloped the entire laboratory. Fu Hua and Rita stood in front of the door for a short while before the Archbishop of Schicksal, Otto Apocalypse, gracefully emerged from it.

Standing in front of the laboratory, Fu Hua asked directly, "Otto, what exactly are you planning to do to Kiana?"

"Should we imprison her as a Lawyer until she dies, or should we try her and kill her directly?"

Otto crossed one arm over his chest and rested the other on his chin, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"My dearest friend, what do you think I'm going to do?"

"I don't know," Fu Hua said emotionlessly. "Otto, your plan is so far-fetched that even I couldn't have guessed it."

"So, I've come directly to ask you."

“Hmm. That’s quite unusual.” Otto looked up in slight surprise, staring at Fu Hua as if he were seeing her for the first time.

“Fu Hua, this is the first time you’ve come to me directly to ask me questions.”

"If I don't tell you the truth, how can I still call you my best friend?"

He turned slightly, his slender body, covered by a long robe, stepped into the Helheim laboratory, his voice echoing at the same time.

"Come in. It's not proper to talk at the door. Since you've asked, my dear friend, I'll naturally answer you."

Fu Hua wasn't afraid and followed closely behind.

Rita did not follow. She bowed slightly to Fu Hua and said, "Lady Fu Hua, now that you have begun your conversation with the Bishop, my mission is over."

A mysterious smile appeared on her lips: "I must go and find Lady Durandal, so I will take my leave for now."

"Hmm." Fu Hua nodded slightly.

Then he entered the laboratory without looking back.

A few minutes later, she and Otto stood outside a laboratory, looking through the glass at the busy staff inside, and at Kiana Kaslana, the K-423 experimental subject, sealed in a cylindrical nutrient solution.

"I think it's most appropriate to tell you my plans here."

Fu Hua forced herself not to look at Kiana, who had her eyes tightly closed and was motionless, and focused her attention on Otto's unpleasant face.

"Tell me your plan. I'm waiting for your proposal."

Her voice was low, clearly indicating that she was not at peace.

“It’s very simple.” Otto stood with his hands behind his back in front of the glass wall, his back to Fu Hua, so she couldn’t see his expression.

The sound drifted out slowly.

"I want to transform K-423 into a Herrscher and then completely destroy him."

Fu Hua frowned: "The gem is already in our hands, and K-423 is also in our hands. Even without transforming into a Herrscher, we can completely destroy the Second Herrscher. Your statement is too strange for me to understand."

“The annihilation I’m talking about isn’t physical annihilation.” Otto raised an arm, as if stroking K-423 in the laboratory, and placed his hand on the glass wall.

"My dearest friend, you should know this. Compared to humans, the power of the Herrschers is so immense."

"The endless Honkai allows the Herrscher to create countless miracles. If it weren't for the Valkyries' resistance, the Second Herrscher could have completely destroyed the entire human society in 2000."

"The more powerful humanity becomes, the more powerful the Honkai becomes."

"Fu Hua, you must understand. The last era was so powerful that it wiped out all the Herrschers, but it still failed in the face of the Herrscher of the End, leaving only you, the strongest warriors, to eke out a living."

Fu Hua's expression gradually calmed down. She looked at Otto, seemingly lost in thought.

Otto remained with his back to her, his voice neither fast nor slow, devoid of emotion yet full of power.

"Therefore, I believe that the Valkyries created using Honkai energy will definitely not be able to defeat the Final Herrscher in the end. Our human civilization will also face destruction, just like in the last era."

"So?" Fu Hua interrupted Otto's statement, her voice icy. "What's your plan? What are you trying to say?"

“It’s very simple, I told you, it’s very simple, my dear friend, calm down a bit.” Otto didn’t turn his head, but his voice carried a hint of warmth and comfort.

"I want to create Herrschers that belong to humanity, not Herrschers of Honkai."

"It's that simple, yet these are the immortals who have protected humanity for thousands of years."

"Huh??" Fu Hua's expression froze slightly. "What do you mean? An artificial Herrscher? A power different from the Divine Key?"

“No, no, no.” Otto finally turned around, his eyes seemingly sparkling with stars: “It’s not an artificial Herrscher, it’s a human.”

"To wield the power of the Herrscher with human consciousness, that is the goal I want to achieve."

"Compared to the Divine Key, the power of the Herrscher, wielded by an individual human being, should be more powerful and more useful."

"Are you crazy?" Fu Hua frowned. "How is this possible? After becoming a Herrscher, the endless Honkai energy will devour the consciousness of a human, turning them into madness. How can human consciousness possibly fight against it? Even if the Honkai energy is suppressed for a time, the only path left is madness and death..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

He stared blankly at Otto.

“Looks like you thought of that too.” Otto laughed, his smile wide and unrestrained. “I don’t want to create artificial Herrschers, but rather to let the human side of the Herrscher’s heart prevail.”

"In K-423, this manifests as the aspect of K-423, the aspect you call Kiana Kaslana, which overcame the consciousness of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, and took control of this body."

"Do you have a concrete plan?" Fu Hua closed his eyes, lowered his head, and seemed lost in thought.

“Of course, I’ve been preparing for this day for a long time.” Otto’s expression held a hint of excitement, a rare sight for him, as if he were showing off his new toy to a good friend. “Want me to tell you more?”

“No need, I believe you. Otto Apocalypse, just like when we signed the contract, I believe you.” After saying this, Fu Hua gazed deeply at Kiana, who was trapped in the glass pillar and completely unconscious, before abruptly turning her head away.

"Then I won't bother you any longer. I will fulfill my duties as a Valkyrie, and you should not forget your own mission either."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Hua took the lead and walked towards the door.

A few minutes later, Otto's expression suddenly darkened as he watched Fu Hua leave the lab on the monitor.

He turned around, looked at the unconscious K-423, and muttered to himself.

“Immortal Red Iris, I’m not lying to you.”

"Although I wanted to tell you everything I did, I regret that you didn't ask me how I managed to make human consciousness overcome the consciousness of the Herrscher."

"Or perhaps you're just deceiving yourself?"

"You're also hoping that I can achieve the desired result in this experiment?"

"Indeed, we are close friends who trust each other."

"Just like you believe I can accomplish the plan I've outlined, I also believe you won't ask me about the details of that plan."

"We really have great chemistry."

"Hehehe~~! Hehehe~~!"

Otto covered his cheek with his palm, laughed nervously twice, and then suddenly shouted into the laboratory.

"Initiating Honkai energy injection, Phase One experiment begins!!"

Chapter Four: Fu Hua's Transformation and Preparation

"S-rank Valkyrie Fu Hua, please prepare for battle."

Just hours after leaving the Helheim Laboratory, Fu Hua received instructions from the Valkyrie Dispatch Center.

"An order from Lord Otto."

"[All-domain defense satellites deployed; all Valkyrie units, Level 1 combat readiness]"

"Get ready for a world-changing world."

"above."

After the call ended, Fu Hua composed herself and looked toward the Helheim Laboratory not far away.

There, dense Honkai energy is gathering.

If her guess is correct, then Otto is probably trying to revive the consciousness of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, within Kiana's body.

Although she didn't know how Otto planned to achieve his goal, Fu Hua was still willing to trust that old fox.

As a bishop who has lived for five hundred years, Otto's hidden trump cards are something even she cannot see through.

Since I've decided to believe, all I can do is try my best to do what I should do.

---But before that, I need to make some preparations. To avoid Otto's plan failing, I also need to make my own plans.

Thinking this, Fu Hua opened her [Multiverse Chat Group]. After a brief login screen, the suggested chat group page appeared in front of her.

Every time she saw this chat group, she was filled with awe at the vastness of the universe and the wonder of the world.

Not only are there chat groups, but there are also all sorts of worlds, all sorts of races, and even gods, monsters, and demons—you name it.

Whenever she thought of this, she was filled with confidence that she could overcome the Honkai.

After opening the chat group, she quickly glanced at the chat. As always, the friends in the group were chatting aimlessly, talking about whatever came to mind.

Although she enjoyed these casual chats and considered them a rare moment of leisure, this time she really didn't have any extra time to waste.

So she glanced at it a few times, but didn't participate. Instead, she clicked on a subpage of the chat group.

Several lines of small text were displayed above.

[Chat group system therapy project.]

[Currently, treating the memory and physical damage of users in the treatment group requires 123,100 points.]

The user currently has 110,100 points remaining.

Looking at the number that was almost there, Fu Hua gritted her teeth slightly.

He spoke to the system in his mind.

---【Please provide me with a staged treatment plan.】

She had just finished thinking about this when several messages appeared on the chat group page.

[The user requested information regarding staged treatment.]

[Under review...]
