But at that moment, he remembered.

Destiny and Anti-Entropy can be considered enemies for now. Although Welt is a hero, it's a shame he's being asked to warn the opposing organization to be careful...

“Don’t worry, Mr. Maguchi. I have already alerted the leaders of Schicksal and World Serpent, informing them that the next Herrscher to awaken may be the Herrscher of Corruption.”

"Wow, you have such a good temper?"

After watching Walter utter words he could never have imagined, Masakazu Maguchi smiled wryly and helplessly.

"Like Mr. Tsugami, heroes like you really live an upright life."

"After all, our goal is to fight against the Honkai. Although I personally disagree with some of Otto's actions, I think he can be considered to be on our side this time."

After hearing Masakazu's statement, Walter chuckled and shook his head.

"That man's obsession runs incredibly deep, and the Corruption Herrscher's power of corruption could very well corrupt the core electronic data and instruments of his plan. I think, more than us, Otto is the one who most wants the Corruption Herrscher to die immediately."

"You could even say that. Even if I hadn't told Otto about this, he would have been able to guess that the Herrscher of Corruption would appear soon. Maybe when I informed him of this, he had already started planning how to scheme against both Anti-Entropy and the Herrscher of Corruption."

"What a complicated person..."

"Complex? No, he's not complicated at all."

After analyzing the data in front of him, Walter's eyes suddenly became incredibly deep.

"In the end, Otto was just a madman who acted out of obsession."

"No matter how much he tries to embellish it with his intelligence and rationality, he cannot cover up this fact."

Chapter 570. The Failed Plan

In a space inaccessible to ordinary people, Otto and Kevin were staring at each other.

The secondary reason why the two did not choose to exchange intelligence or engage in internal power struggles with the outside world this time was that the deal between them this time was far more important than the last one.

As for the main reason...

Neither Otto nor Kevin wanted the tragedy that happened at Raven's Cafe to repeat itself.

During his last meeting with Kevin, Otto's Soul Steel body was shattered by the Mist Angel faction's Herrscher of Light, who had already awakened the power of light.

He had no memory of the time after his recovery, but Otto had anticipated the unexpected situation and had been carrying recording equipment with him to transmit the recordings back to the Destiny headquarters in real time.

It was for this reason that he learned that his deal with Kevin had long been known to the Herrscher of Domination.

If Otto hadn't already replaced his body with a mass-produced Soul Steel body, he could already be singing a lament in hell.

However, after selecting a new venue, the probability of Otto's Herrscher of Domination causing trouble has basically decreased.

Meanwhile, at the Oceania branch, Osciani, the Oceania branch leader who was at odds with him, was unaware that Otto had already planted enough small surveillance cameras in the hidden locations of various branches.

Perhaps Ossiani would usually be careful to conceal his actions of sending messages to Gu Yu, but on the day he was injured by that powerful Herrscher of Domination, the unconscious Ossiani certainly didn't have time to do anything.

Otto got a general idea of ​​what happened next through the surveillance system.

Gu Yu and Ou Xiani had arranged to meet at the Oceania branch, but the powerful Herrscher of Domination had injured Ou Xiani before that.

Although Ou Xiani survived thanks to Gu Yu's treatment, she remained in a coma for a long time.

Otto was unable to witness the subsequent battles.

However, the fact that Gu Yu is still alive in this world basically means that Gu Yu was undoubtedly the victor in that battle.

If this matter ends here, Otto would be quite happy.

The unexpected event that occurred midway through the plan was eliminated by the brat he hated. What could be more enjoyable than seeing your enemies fight each other to the death?

However, things didn't go so well afterward.

After the disappearance of that powerful Herrscher of Domination, the frequency of Honkai outbreaks around the world has increased significantly.

According to Otto's speculation, this is a sign that the next Honkai is about to occur.

If the next Honkai event occurs successfully at this time, it can only mean one thing.

Kevin and his team's plan to secretly imprison and raise the Herrscher of Domination in order to delay the arrival of the Honkai has completely fallen through.

However, Kevin, whom Otto had expected to be very anxious, was sitting calmly and indifferently in front of him.

Otto didn't know what Kevin was thinking, but at least for now, Otto was certain that Kevin wasn't as anxious as he had imagined.

Did Kevin discover a new way to delay the collapse?

Or is it that his plan has entered its final stage and there's no need to delay any longer?

If it's the former, Otto could continue working with Kevin.

However, if the latter's plan has reached its final stage, Otto must begin to use his own hidden measures to prevent Kevin from destroying the Honkai.

"Otto, are you done thinking about it?"

Across from Otto, Kevin asked with utter indifference.

"You were the one who asked me out today. I think you don't intend to waste each other's precious time any longer, right?"

After hearing Kevin's urging, Otto felt somewhat relieved.

There was a hint of impatience in Kevin's words.

This slight impatience is the best proof that Kevin failed to complete the plan.

Great, if he needs something from me, then there's room for further discussion.

“Then I’ll get straight to the point, Mr. Kevin. I’m sure you’ve already noticed the recent anomalies through the World Serpent’s intelligence network.”

"Ah, our plan to delay the Honkai by preventing the Herrschers of Dominion from being completely wiped out has indeed failed."

After saying that casually, Kevin asked indifferently.

"So what? You came here today just to tell me all this nonsense?"

Ah, just as I thought.

After hearing the growing impatience in Kevin's words, Otto sneered inwardly and began to consider how to respond.

There was nothing to be afraid of about the other party's unfriendly tone; rather, Kevin's impatience at this moment had amplified Otto's sense of security.

Kevin Kaslana's plan requires far too much time, and with the World Serpent suppressed by Destiny, there are few ways left to shorten Kevin's plan.

What Otto brought today was bait that Kevin absolutely could not refuse.

Even if Kevin knew that Otto had added a deadly poison to the bait, he would still swallow it without hesitation for his own purposes.

At this point, Kevin and World Serpent are essentially bound by Otto and helplessly pulled into Otto's camp.

Otto didn't expect to completely turn Kevin into his pawn. After all, after experiencing the ups and downs with Gu Yu, Otto had come to a complete understanding of one thing.

Not every strong person is as naive and easily controlled as Durandal.

If a player lacks the strength to match the pieces, he will eventually be crushed on the spot by the pieces jumping up.

"The reason I asked you to come over today is quite simple."

"In the things we agreed on last time, I already frankly told you what I longed for."

After placing the Void Treasury in the space in front of him, Otto chuckled and said to Kevin.

"Beacon—I think you've brought it with you this time."

"Once you hand over the beacon to me, I will be able to perfectly drive the Thousand Realms One Vehicle and further complete my plan. In return, I will give you the Void Treasury."

Kevin naturally recognized the Void Archives as the First Key of God the moment he saw it.

At that moment, he was not anxious, but coldly stared at Otto, waiting for him to continue.

"The Void Treasury has been completely transformed by me over the years into a puppet that can still control destiny even after I am gone."

"If you can help me achieve my goal and fulfill my five-hundred-year-old wish, then he will be yours."

"So? Are you choosing to help me complete my plan and then take control of the entire destiny?"

"Or does Mr. Kevin have other ideas?"

Chapter 571. Goodbye, only for the sake of seeing each other again.

If it were a younger Kevin, perhaps he would have made a different choice at this time.

After all, Kevin's temper was far less composed in his younger days than it is now.

Faced with Otto's almost threatening scheme, if no one had stopped Kevin in the past, he might have already merged the two heavenly fires and used the Destruction Sword to kill Otto in one fell swoop.

But times have changed.

Personal likes and dislikes have long since become insignificant to Kevin.

In his eyes, most people and things can only be divided into two types.

Those who can help him fight against the Honkai, and those who can hinder him from fighting against the Honkai.

Although Otto's open scheme made Kevin very uncomfortable, Kevin was also very clear that Otto truly intended to entrust his destiny to Kevin.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Otto, who has ruled the destiny for five hundred years, is simply a power-hungry madman.

But for Kevin, he sensed something similar to himself in Otto.

This thing—is called 'obsession'.

Otto had his obsessions, and these obsessions were clearly not the complete encyclopedia of destiny that he had already mastered.

If Kevin could help Otto free himself from his obsession, he felt that after getting rid of this troublesome plague, he could greatly accelerate the progress of the Stigmata Project once he had control over Destiny.

Considering that there are still four Herrschers—Erosion, Death, Fusion, and End—and that the Stigmata Project must be completed before the Herrscher of End arrives.

All of humanity has only three Herrschers left to descend upon.

Based on the frequency of large-scale Honkai outbreaks that year, Kevin figured the combined timeframe for the birth of these three Herrschers was a mere day.

The Herrschers of this era arrived far too quickly, so quickly that humanity simply couldn't keep up with the pace of the Honkai.

Although the boy named Gu Yu had beaten up all the Herrschers from beginning to end, subduing some and killing others, humanity lost its sense of crisis because of this.

Kevin had suspected before that the boy had other motives for gathering the Herrschers and collecting the Keys of God.

What if this boy finally reveals his fangs after the Herrscher's defeat?
