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

At this moment, at the Destiny Base, upon hearing Gray Serpent's words, Kevin uttered that nickname in a low, angry tone, and he felt he was about to lose his temper.

If you hold back for a moment, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll die on the spot.

Kevin now just wants to resolve things here as soon as possible and have a good "talk" with Gray Serpent—talk about life, talk about reason, talk about any remaining wishes, talk about what style of cemetery they prefer, and what kind of funeral they would like.

With the Destruction Rift in hand, Kevin immediately made his move, but his mind was not on the battle at all.

Siegfried, being an S-class Valkyrie, naturally possessed strong combat awareness. He quickly activated the crimson alloy greatsword developed by Anti-Entropy and prepared to launch a counterattack.

"Son, wake up! I'm your father, Siegfried."

Having dodged Kevin's casual attack, Siegfried said sincerely that he believed his son's sudden attack made him realize something.

His own son was probably just a tool, a puppet.

The reason why my son has become like this is most likely because of that guy called Gray Snake.

Wait, Gray Serpent... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.

Siegfried frowned; he felt the name Grey Serpent sounded somewhat familiar.

Oh, right, Siberia!

Siegfried quickly came to the answer: yes, he had heard the name Gray Serpent back in Siberia; a World Serpent executive, an agent of the Quantum Sea.

Very good, excellent.

Gray Snake, it was you who brainwashed my son!

At this moment, seeing that his descendant, who wanted to be his father, had dodged his casual attack while he was distracted, Kevin became a little more serious.

"I will defeat the gray serpent and bring you back to the light, my son!"

Siegfried said firmly that he had already recovered from his loss and he would not let the loss of Cecilia happen again.

Although he knew that Cecilia from the past or another world had come to this world, Siegfried did not choose to meet her. After all, it was just a fleeting illusion, and investing his emotions would only make him feel worse after losing her at the end of the Holy Grail War.

"I'll kill you today, you disrespectful bastard!"

Kevin, wielding the Destroyer, clashed with Siegfried's alloy greatsword.

Siegfried was full of confidence at this moment, believing that he should be able to gain the upper hand with the advantage of his weapon.

Siegfried felt confident that he could defeat the World Serpent Lord before him.

Although Anti-Entropy's alloy greatsword has not been named, its quality and effects are already comparable to the Throne of Gods series weapons.

Hey, if my son's weapon breaks later, should I comfort him?

Wait, why does this red sword feel so familiar to me?

Chapter 189: Do you think we, the Valkyries of Destiny, would believe your nonsense?

"what happened?"

Raiden Mei heard what sounded like an explosion in the distance. Just as she was about to go out to see what was going on, a crack appeared at the doorway of the reception room.

"It's been quite a search for me, you devilish scientist, Sirin."

The boy's voice rang out at that moment, and Kiana, seeing the boy in black and purple clothing not far away, quickly picked up her weapon: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. Just call me Palad."

When Xia Qing spoke as Parad, everyone present showed a wary expression.

"Do you think we, the Valkyries of Destiny, would believe your nonsense?"

Otto sneered as he conjured Thor's Hammer using the Void Archives.

Mimicking the Divine Key will reveal some of your information. If someone knows about the existence of the Void Treasury ability, seeing your Mimicking Divine Key will probably make connections to your identity.

"I've already said it, I meant no harm. You cooperate with Theresa, and I cooperate with Theresa, so aren't we on the same side?"

After Pallad finished speaking, Otto asked in an icy tone, "What's that saying again? My vassal's vassal is not my vassal. What does your cooperation with Theresa have to do with us? Besides, you've been blocking the door long enough, haven't you?"

Otto was now on high alert; the current environment was far too dangerous.

It's not dangerous for me, but for K423 and the others.

K423 is a precious asset of Destiny, and I don't intend to let her die here. If she dies here, my grand plan will be missing a crucial piece.

One move can affect the whole situation. K423 has already given me enough surprises. Although Schicksal has started the Second Herrscher Soul Transfer Project, the project has been established for too short a time.

Otto admitted that the situation was getting out of control. K423's status as a genius physicist made her feel uneasy. Otto was unsure how long it would take for K423 to become a player like herself.

Judging from what I know, K423 is not innocent. A demon scientist... Haha, someone who can be called that can't be a good person.

Before she evolves from a pawn into a player, he needs to ensure the soul transfer plan goes smoothly. At that time, Kiana will only be a scientist who is favored by destiny, not the core of some emotional control Herrscher plan.

The crack that this guy named Parad made when he appeared blocked the door to the waiting room. If all else fails, I'll drag him and let Kiana and the others jump out the window.

"How indifferent. I'm sorry, the door is locked. I won't let you leave. But don't worry, I won't kill you either. My purpose in coming here is simply to prevent you from interfering with Theresa's plans."

Parad shrugged, and Kiana felt like she was in a game, just like the protagonist, after hearing his words.

The villain Theresa's shocking conspiracy, the minor boss Palad who comes to stop her, and the mysterious character Ottovia who accompanies her.

Stop for a second. I can't think like that. How could my period possibly have some kind of earth-shattering conspiracy?

"Aunt Flo's plans?"

Kiana sounded puzzled, and at that moment Parad explained, "That's right, we will summon the Calamity of the Multiverse, a terrifying force that will destroy countless worlds. Sargeras' Burning Legion will descend upon this world."

"The...Burning Legion?"

Kiana looked somewhat surprised. What on earth was Auntie thinking?

Parad, played by Xia Qing, showed no surprise at Kiana's astonishment, and then began to showcase his acting skills:

"That's right, the Burning Legion, the organization led by the fallen titan Sargeras. The worlds that have fallen to them are often left only as scorched earth. They are synonymous with slaughter and terror, they are..."

Parad delivered a masterful performance, his eyes concealing a different emotion, and he couldn't be sure if Otto could spot the flaw.

The answer is yes, but Palladiot, who was not far away, remained vigilant.

Although his words all described the evil of the Burning Legion, Faust looked at K423 as if he were looking at an ignorant person who had been deceived by him.

K423 and the others were deceived by the terrifying rumors of the Burning Legion on the first level, while Parad was on the second level, and his words definitely concealed or distorted something.

Finally, he realized that he was on the third floor of the top layer, and he had already seen through Pallad's position.

Wait a minute, maybe this is the effect Parad wanted. Oh, I see, there's a fourth layer.

Unfortunately, from now on I'm on the fifth level!

That doesn't make sense either; what if he's deliberately trying to mislead me...?

Various possibilities surfaced in Otto's mind, and while Otto was pondering these thoughts, Palad breathed a sigh of relief.

Very well, Otto thought he was on the Nth floor, but he didn't realize that he had no concept of which floor he was on. He was on the rooftop, and his purpose was to trap Otto in a chain of logical suspicion.

"How could that be? How could my period be like that?"

Kiana's tone was clearly incredulous, and at this moment, knowing that Kiana wouldn't have any special reaction, Parad said in a mischievous tone:

"Just like you are still the devil scientist, nothing is impossible."

The Kaslana family bloodline seems to be born with the ability to please girls, and she, Celine, and Cecilia often have parties in the bubble space while others are sleeping.

Ostensibly, it was a discussion about the next steps, but in reality, I don't recall discussing the arrangements much; most of the time was spent slacking off and playing games.

During a previous ranked match in a mod game developed by Destiny, Sirin casually mentioned that she was almost captivated by Kiana's charm.

Kiana became withdrawn after learning she was a demon scientist. Later, Sirin took the blame for the demon scientist's crimes and made up some excuse, like she would die if she didn't do the experiments.

Sirin wasn't afraid of being misunderstood, but she was worried about Kiana, who was like a paramecium, thinking that her other personality had done something wrong and should be punished by going to jail.

As a result, Sirin was forced to listen to Kiana's chatter all night. Healing others is also healing oneself. After talking to Sirin, Kiana herself was not so withdrawn anymore.

Looking at Kiana's current state, Xia Qing, who was playing Parad, feigned disappointment: "I was originally looking forward to seeing what Faust, that devil scientist, would be like when he was withdrawn, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly."

"I don't care about Kiana's past, I know she's my friend."

Raiden Mei gripped Kiana's right hand tightly and spoke to Parad, saying that in her eyes, Kiana needed her help during this period after learning her identity.

Chapter 190: Alliance Leader, Save Me!

"I will not let you leave here in peace."

As he spoke, Parad transformed, his LV:99 power being more than enough to handle the situation.

"This style of armor... are you a member of the Dream Realm?"

Otto, holding Thor's hammer, asked Parad, "The Schicksal researchers have already analyzed their different technological systems through various images."

The armor style associated with the game should belong to the Dream Group, and is it the same type of armor used by the undercover agent Wendy?

"Illusion... Heh, they are nothing but clowns who think they're so great by using the power of our race superficially."

Explaining all this to you is useless. Please, everyone, stay here quietly and await Theresa's summoning of the Burning Legion.

When Palad mentioned the dream, a hint of mockery appeared on his face.

Otto keenly noticed this expression and, looking at Palad in the distance, guessed something.

I suspect that Huanmeng and Palad, along with the forces behind him, are at odds. Perhaps I can try to extract some information about Huanmeng from him.

They haven't even settled accounts with the Fantasy Dream Group for sending people to Tianming as spies yet; there's a set of subtle, unspoken rules in espionage.

If it goes undetected, that's fine; but if it does, it's like having another handle held against you.

Otto was somewhat envious of the technology of the Dream Group from that other world. Kiana's armor performance was more technically advanced, but Dream Group was different.

The company that developed the armor doesn't know what technology is inside, but if it were mass-produced, its attack power would be enough to fight against the current Honkai Beasts.

Otto was somewhat tempted by the advanced armor of the Dream. The Honkai, as society grows stronger with the advancement of technology, would find that a large number of low-level armors would be of little use to him and would only strengthen the Honkai side.

However, if a small number of high-level armor pieces are given to an A-rank Valkyrie, the Valkyrie's combat capabilities will be significantly enhanced.

Having fought against the Honkai for 500 years, Otto has figured out some of its patterns. Otto tried to extract information from it, but he was met with Parad's merciless words:

"I won't reveal any information about Huanmeng. If I did, those guys from the Huanmeng Group might just start a war against us."

Our only target is the president of the Dream Group, that... pufferfish who killed our important clansmen!
