My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Otto's vigilance towards Black Helios began to rise rapidly, and at that moment Bronya's alert voice rang out:

"It already appeared during the Second Honkai Impact. What exactly is your purpose with Seele?"

A smile crept across Bronya's lips as she looked at her wary expression.

"Oh dear, this is so heartbreaking. I love our Bronya just as much as Seele does, but it seems like Bronya only loves Seele."

Bronya reflexively blurted out, "No, I didn't, I..."

Kiana looked at Bronya, who was resting her chin on her right hand: "Bronya, I didn't expect you to have some of the qualities of a flirting expert now."

"Seele, look at your sister Bronya, she's so funny~"

Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Let me clarify again: I, Hei Xixia, have no ill intentions towards you.

There's nothing in your world that appeals to me, as for Seele?

She and my spirit are extremely similar; she's the best medium and the best vessel for me.

Chapter 171: The Reincarnator: Wait, who are you saying is plotting to seize the position of Bishop of Destiny?

"Time will tell. At least so far, I have no hostile attitude towards you."

"By the way, Kiana, telling you the answer to your question is useless. If we don't deal with those Breakers first, the repairs will be destroyed anyway."

Hearing Kuroki's words, Kiana eagerly asked, "So, what kinds of World Breakers are there?"

Compared to studying, Kiana felt she preferred doing other things, and perhaps she could use this opportunity to avoid tutoring.

"Although I am called a god in some worlds, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I don't know much about the World Breakers, but I have some guesses about the leader of this organization."

On the Tree of Imaginary Numbers dwells a being revered as the lowest and most evil demon king. According to the information I've gathered, that being has already arrived in your world.

Kiana immediately sensed that the Demon King wasn't a good person upon hearing that title: "What Demon King are you talking about?"

In response to Kiana's question, Bronya, played by Xia Qing, replied: "You mean the Demon King who usurped history? Is she related to the Breakers?"

"Based on the intelligence I've obtained, that Demon King is very likely the leader of the Boundary Breakers."

Hei hope continued to reveal the information she knew, such as that the lowest and most evil demon king's thinking was completely different from that of ordinary people, and that she even dared to call herself the highest and most benevolent savior.

Otto, bound in a tortoise shell harness and suspended in the air, was quickly processing the information Blackie had given him. Wait, why was he feeling a long-lost pleasure while being bound in front of Theresa?

As St. Freya and her group were organizing intelligence, a message notification sounded on their communication software. Theresa picked up her phone and glanced at it.

On the screen, Rita sent a message to Theresa: "Lady Theresa, who would be the best choice to carry out some important arrangements? Should we find some other allies? Is there anything else that needs to be arranged at Schicksal Headquarters?"

Although Theresa didn't understand why Rita was asking her the question, she still replied to her after seeing the words on the screen:

"You decide who to choose. Allies... Fighting alone is not advisable. We really should find some allies. The Destiny Headquarters can provide the Valkyries with more entertainment options, instead of just fighting all day long."

Theresa, who believed that cooperation was the only way to fight the Honkai, casually typed a few lines of text. Rita, who was nearby on business at St. Freya Academy, looked thoughtful when she saw these words.

"Leave it to me to decide," Ah, Lady Theresa's trust in me is immense. It seems Lady Theresa knows Bishop Otto quite well, and knows that he is unfathomable.

Indeed, a simple entropy reversal is not enough to complete the plan. Otto has many trump cards up his sleeve, so it's best to be cautious.

Should we give the Valkyries of Destiny more entertainment options? They're having so much fun they don't want to leave. Lady Theresa's intention is probably to win people's hearts.

As expected of Lady Theresa, she's already starting to think about the Valkyrie's future after seizing the position of Bishop of Destiny.

Hmm, maybe I could find someone to impersonate Theresa in disguise. When Theresa wins the position of Bishop of Destiny, they'll feel that Theresa is with them, and that Theresa understands the lower-ranking Valkyries.

Hey, who are those people?

Rita, who was pondering Theresa's intentions, suddenly spotted several familiar figures; those were the reincarnators wanted by Otto.

This group of chosen elites from a parallel universe might be someone worth trying to win over.

"who!"

Deliberately leading to a sparsely populated industrial area, the line suddenly turned its head to look in Rita's direction.

There have been people following their team since the beginning, but instead of breaking through the line, they silently chose to build up their strength.

"As expected of a chosen one from a parallel universe, did you notice I was following you?"

Rita clapped her hands as she emerged from the shadows of a nearby factory. Upon seeing Rita Line, the sculptor frowned and asked, "What business does the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny have with us?"

While talking about the line body, he was preparing to make a move, even though he was still on Destiny's wanted list.

"Don't be nervous. I don't intend to take action against you. Instead, I want to cooperate. The person behind me has something that he can't do himself and wants to entrust to you."

Rita frowned when she mentioned the figure behind her: "Otto? He just turned against us not long ago."

Rita was not at all surprised by the line's attitude: "I never said that I was loyal to Bishop Otto."

"You're the mole? I'm curious who has such a grand scheme to use an S-rank Valkyrie as a mole."

The line's tone carried a hint of inquiry; this was a secret that even the latest intelligence hadn't touched upon. Who would have thought that Otto's confidante, Rita, was actually a traitor?

Faustian passions have little influence in this universe, so is it entropy reversal or the world serpent?

"Tsk, I'm not a traitor. I, Rita Losweiser, am loyal to Destiny, only disloyal to Bishop Otto."

Rita's words made Linear somewhat suspicious: "Who doesn't know that Schicksal is controlled by Otto? I don't think Otto would allow such an ambitious person to secretly contact us in the Schicksal hierarchy. Who are you really loyal to?"

"I am loyal to Lady Theresa Apocalypse, and cooperating with us is the right choice."

We've collaborated with several people, including the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Durandal, a genius physicist, the emperor of culinary disasters, and the daughter of a passionate boss.

The time is ripe; the true owner of the crown of the Bishop of Destiny is Lady Theresa.

As Rita spoke, she gripped her scythe tighter. They knew too much; if she didn't agree, a fight would be inevitable.

???

"Wait a minute, what did you just say?"

With a surprised expression, the person asked if they had misheard.

Is the Theresa you're talking about the one I know?

The vice-captain's expression was somewhat incredulous, and the pharmacist was so shocked that he forgot to throw in a sarcastic remark.

"Although I don't know why you are so surprised, the person I am loyal to, who will replace Otto as the Bishop of Destiny, is none other than Theresa."

Rita repeated with some doubt, "Lady Theresa is a master strategist who can win battles from afar. She once founded St. Freya Academy in Siberia and befriended the top beings of the future world."

Rita's usual disguise was impeccable, and sometimes she even doubted whether she had made a mistake, thinking that Lady Theresa was actually not that smart.

However, this idea only appeared a few times before disappearing. After all, that was Theresa, the leader of the St. Freya organization and the mastermind behind the plot to seize the position of Bishop of Destiny!

Everything before was a disguise; I just didn't see through Theresa's feigned innocence.

Compared to the innocent and pure Theresa, this cunning and scheming version of Theresa seems pretty good too.

Chapter 172: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes - Kono Kiana Kaslanada!

???

The information that shocked the pharmacist for a whole year has appeared, and as a fan of Theresa, she feels that her worldview is a bit shattered.

Give me back my adorable and silly headmistress! What the hell are these identities like "Lord of Saint Freya" and "Power Usurper"?

“This is truly amazing news. This is a development we never anticipated. Theresa, well, I think we can talk about collaboration now.”

"It seems there's some intelligence we can dig out," the source said in a calm voice.

“That would be wonderful. Now let me introduce you to our hope and savior, Her Majesty Theresa Apocalypse.”

Rita, who had developed a thing for older lolis, started exaggerating her imagined Theresa, becoming increasingly shocked by the terrifying psychic creatures associated with Theresa.

At that moment, Theresa herself, who was unknowingly shaking the Reincarnators, turned her gaze back to Otto.

Having learned a great deal about the most evil demon king, she was now ready to interrogate the woman in front of her, whom she had no recollection of but who seemed to know her quite well.

Just then, a voice that haunted the dreams of all factions rang out:

First, never act impulsively.

Second, we will never overlook any wrongdoing.

Third, the referee's impartiality and fairness are absolutely guaranteed.

The ultimate fair referee, Jeong-pyo, has come to pay his respects!

The system-generated, logicless AI Validation Fairness appeared in every network-connected place in the world.

Upon hearing this sound, Theresa activated the office projector and whiteboard, and Zhen Gongping's image was displayed in front of everyone.

Looking at the blonde woman on the screen, Theresa temporarily abandoned her plan to continue the interrogation. Compared to interrogating this familiar person, the Holy Grail was clearly more important.

"Today marks the start of the second match."

Unlike the first game, the second game's points are awarded based on the time it takes for one's corresponding identity to be eliminated.

In the second competition, the participants will be divided into two different roles: the mastermind behind the scenes and the representative of a force.

There are two main figures in the competition, while the other participants are representatives of various factions.

Voting can take place every other day in this round of competition. The first vote will be held at 12:00 a few hours later. At 11:50, all participants can choose to enter the voting space.

If you do not participate, you will be considered to have forfeited your vote.

Each round of voting involves choosing who you believe is the mastermind behind the scenes. The contestant with the most votes in each round will be eliminated.

The selection criteria for the mastermind are also related to his actions in reality. The more a person fits the mastermind's criteria, the more likely they are to be selected. Each time, the selected mastermind must choose to eliminate a representative of a force.

If the mastermind reveals their identity, it will be tantamount to admitting defeat. From this moment on, the identity of every contestant will be in their mind.

Zhen Gongping explained how the second round of this simplified version of Werewolf would proceed.

Xia Qing asked the system for the time and, upon receiving the current time, knew that it was time for the second round of the competition that had been set. Zhen Gongping had automatically started running.

As originally planned, Xia Qing began to use her mental abilities to transmit the identity information of each contestant. The person who seemed impossible to others in this competition was actually the mastermind behind the scenes.

"The mastermind behind it all is probably me."

Upon hearing Zhen Gongping's words, Otto thought to himself, "If we choose the mastermind based on experience, then my own experience is probably the darkest among all the contestants."

Otto suddenly had a strange feeling. He remembered four words. No, this wasn't a normal feeling. Something had implanted these four words into him.

Otto's expression turned strange when he noticed the four words in his mind. He was actually a representative of a powerful force? So there were other contestants who were even more heinous than himself?
