Sure enough, this woman's loyalty to the World Serpent had begun to waver.
No, we can't let her cause any more trouble. During this time, I'll have the Lord continue to give her leave, and at the same time, I'll secretly increase the level of surveillance.
Raven, I hope you're just making a couple of ordinary complaints.
If you have truly betrayed our world serpent...
Then, without your permission to take action, I, Gray Serpent, will make you pay an unbearable price!
………………
Several days later, somewhere in the Far East.
In a deserted mountain area, a man dressed in a white robe walked swiftly.
Behind him, the S-rank Valkyrie Rita Losweisse, clad in the [Azure Knight: Moon Soul] God-Slaying Armor, and accompanied by Valkyries wielding their indestructible blades, relentlessly pursued the man.
After sprinting to the edge of the cliff, Rita saw the white-robed man in front of her stop.
"Oh, sir, have you finally stopped?"
Looking at the man who had nowhere to retreat, Rita smiled and raised the weapon of the Throne of Gods, Skadi of Frost.
"There's a cliff ahead. You have nowhere to retreat. I think you're well aware of your current predicament, aren't you?"
"Of course. One of the strongest S-class Valkyries of Destiny is chasing me with Destiny's strongest combat force. I really have a lot of influence."
Hearing Rita's words, the man revealed the ring in his hand and touched it to the driver at his waist.
Upon seeing the driver at the man's waist, Rita, who had once fought against Gu Yu, immediately took a step back, her pupils constricting.
"This is... everyone be careful!"
"Oh? It seems Miss Losweiser knows the uses of these things?"
【Change! Now!】
"Unfortunately, it's too late."
In just a moment, Rita realized that the driver hanging from the man's waist seemed to have the same ability as the driver hanging from Gu Yu's waist.
She was so worried about her comrades that she missed the best opportunity to attack.
Unable to interrupt the enemy's attack immediately, Rita dashed to the man's side like a ghost in the next moment.
In that instant, the man, who had already roughly anticipated the enemy's movements, was already prepared to fight.
After taking out a ring, he channeled his magic into it, activating the spell that the ring carried.
【Yes! Gravity! Understand? 】
Even though Rita swung her scythe fast enough, the immense pressure crushed the girl's body before the Soul Steel Scythe could pierce her enemy's flesh.
Not only Rita, but also the Valkyries of the Undying Blade squad not far away were all crushed at once by the man using magic to manipulate the gravity around them.
“But Miss Rita, please don’t misunderstand something. I don’t want to fight you simply because I don’t want to waste my magic. This doesn’t mean I don’t have the ability to defeat you.”
After uttering those words indifferently, the man looked at Rita, who was trying to straighten herself from the pressure, and continued.
“However, since we will have to make contact with Schicksal sooner or later, it won’t hurt my plans to do it a little earlier. Archbishop Otto Apocalypse of Schicksal must be watching this battle closely.”
"Mr. Otto, would you be interested in having a casual chat with me for a bit?"
Chapter 411. The Secret Ritual of Resurrection
"Mr. Otto, would you be interested in having a casual chat with me for a bit?"
After the man said those words, Otto, far away at the Destiny headquarters, turned on the communicator carried by Rita with a playful smile.
"Heh. The reason I had Rita lead the Undying Blade squad this time was to invite Dr. Wiseman to Schicksal headquarters for a meeting."
"As for why we dispatched an S-class Valkyrie—of course, it was to ensure Dr. Wiseman's safety. But now it seems I was overthinking it."
Looking at the knight armor on the man, Otto continued.
"I never imagined that Dr. Wiseman, as a physicist, would possess such a remarkable power."
"Ha, compared to the power in Mr. Otto's hands, this little trick is nothing."
Despite the man's humble words, Otto remained unperturbed.
After failing to collect the Orphnochs, he decisively abandoned his research on them.
However, after that, he dispatched a large number of Valkyrie and Divine Machine units to launch a surprise attack on the World Serpent's base, but failed to find the seriously injured Kevin Kaslana.
Therefore, Otto, who failed to seize the beacon, could only act according to the revelation given to him by the Honkai God fourteen years ago, while also searching for other ways to revive Kallen.
The reason he came to intercept this man, who was using the alias "Kanade.Wiseman," was because the intelligence gatherers from Destiny had previously discovered something in this man's home.
As is well known, the brainwaves of ordinary people disappear directly after they are transformed into zombies by the Honkai.
However, in the basement of Wiseman's house, the Valkyrie of the intelligence department discovered a zombie with residual brainwaves.
After obtaining this information, Otto speculated that the research this man was conducting might make it easier for certain studies that Otto valued to reach the final stage.
That's why he dispatched Rita, who specializes in human combat and is also adept at covert operations and intelligence gathering, with the Undying Blade to capture Kanade Wiseman.
Unfortunately, he couldn't have guessed that this man possessed the power to easily defeat an S-class Valkyrie.
“Mr. Otto, I think there’s no need for many of these falsehoods. You’ve manipulated the world’s course in the shadows for five hundred years, and while few know your true intentions during those five hundred years, I think I can roughly guess them…”
Wiseman, still maintaining the pressure of gravity, strolled over to Rita's side and continued speaking.
"If it's to fight against the Honkai, then some of your actions are truly incomprehensible. So I can only conclude that you intend to achieve certain goals through the Honkai, and are therefore raising them, right?"
"So what? Making wild guesses about other people's thoughts is not something a 'sage' should do, Dr. Wiseman."
Staring at Otto's threatening words, the man did not back down at all.
"No, no, no, Mr. Otto misunderstands. I have no objection to your idea of raising Honkai. On the contrary, I think we might have a lot in common."
“Those zombies with residual brainwaves were deliberately left in the basement by me. I had planned to use them to draw Mr. Otto’s attention to my presence.”
This man deliberately exposed himself... What exactly is he planning?
"The most fundamental law of this world is, of course, the principle of equivalent exchange. I need Mr. Otto's control over destiny to help me accomplish certain things. But at the same time, I will also demonstrate my corresponding value to Mr. Otto."
Ignoring the silent Otto, the man continued speaking to himself.
"I wonder if Mr. Otto... is interested in the Resurrection Ritual?"
? !
Upon hearing this word, Otto had to admit that his weakness had indeed been exploited by the other party.
Although he didn't know how this man had discovered Otto's true wish, at this moment, nothing was more important to Otto than reviving Kallen.
“Go on, Dr. Wiseman. But I must say, the price of deceiving me is not low.”
"Of course I wouldn't expect Mr. Otto to believe a suspicious man I've never met. Of course, the Resurrection Ritual does exist. If Mr. Otto doesn't believe me, I can demonstrate it for him."
"And the sincerity before cooperation—"
After the gravitational pressure was lifted, the man looked at the Valkyries who were wary of him and said calmly.
"Is this enough to express my sincerity?"
“Rita, please have this gentleman return to Schicksal headquarters. As for Dr. Wiseman, Schicksal’s attitude towards you will depend on the sincerity and value you demonstrate after our meeting.”
"I hope that we can both achieve our long-cherished wishes, Mr. Otto."
"I hope so."
After Otto hung up the call, Rita, as if she hadn't been attacked by the man at all, immediately spoke politely to Wiseman, who had deactivated his transformation.
"Sir, since the Archbishop has invited you, please come with us back to the headquarters of Destiny so that we may have a talk with the Archbishop."
"Of course. Miss, please lead the way."
After following Rita, Wiseman... no, it should be said that Fueki Kanade's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
The first step of the plan has been completed. Now, as long as I can convince Otto, the rest of the plan will be much easier.
After gathering all the human sacrifices, as long as I hold the Witch's Feast in this world, my plan may still succeed.
Li, my daughter...
This time, I will definitely not fail again.
Dad will definitely bring you back to life!
………………
After returning to the Valkyrie dormitory from Sky City, Gu Yu rested for a whole week.
For him, this week of rest felt more like torture than rest.
As for why...
It's actually very simple.
During this time, Kouyu, who used the global antenna from Kamen Rider Faiz for decoration, couldn't see any trace of the undead.
Moreover, the other teammates also failed to gather any information about the undead.
He certainly wouldn't believe it if I told him the enemy had disappeared on their own.
These enemies are monsters that will bring great disasters. If he deceives himself and starts to slack off, he will feel guilty to death when the enemies start to cause trouble.
"Ugh, this is so troublesome..."
"Can't these guys just pop out and let me blow them up?!"
"Why does searching for the enemy take so long? This is completely unreasonable!"
Chapter 412. Better to live a wretched life than to die a good death.
Of course, after complaining a couple of times, Gu Yu still couldn't do anything about the group of strange leaders who had hidden themselves away.
He already has a large enough intelligence network, so if he still can't find this group of people all over the world under these circumstances, it can only mean that this group of strange bosses hasn't started causing trouble yet.
Rather than agonizing over it now, he felt he needed to get the other preparations done first.
