Volume 1: Chapter 128: Fate - Only the Two of Us Are Still Trying to Act

I, Otto Apocalypse, hereby resign from my position as Bishop of Destiny, effective immediately...

People in different parts of the world received the live broadcast speech at varying delays.

Bai Yan fished in Klossen for many days, and his injuries had almost healed.

Ragnar had no combat missions, so she became a maid, cooking for Klossen and his group every day, while waiting for the plan to begin.

These were all Chinese cuisines she had just learned, mainly meat dishes such as chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef, and mutton, as well as vegetables such as tubers and leafy greens.

Bai Yan didn't want to eat fish because it had too many bones.

I don't want to eat any other seafood either.

"Wait a minute, I remember you really liked eating shrimp and crab when you were little, Xiao Yan?"

"I'm having an allergic reaction lately and don't want to eat."

Where's the octopus?

"I don't want to either, let's switch to roast duck."

"What about all the seafood that Su Chang caught?"

"You can eat it all. If you can't finish it, you can release it back into the wild. We won't be staying here for much longer anyway."

"Fine……"

After her resignation speech, Theresa thought it over for a while and finally decided to bring the Anti-Entropy team to Klosten.

Being named the next Bishop of Destiny left her completely bewildered: "Am I not the leader of the rebels?"

Rita and Durandal arrived shortly after.

Seeing this, Theresa's mind started to work.

Her gaze lingered between Bai Yan, Rita, Ragnar, and Durandal for a moment before quickly settling on Durandal.

—Of these people, Durandal is the most honest, so it has to be you!

"Durandal, do you know what Otto is planning this time?"

"Well... actually, I'm not too sure either." After saying that, she looked at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan's eyelids twitched.

Sure enough, a group of people immediately turned their attention to them.

Durandal doesn't lie, especially with this kind of reflexive reaction; you can tell what she means at a glance.

—Although she knew nothing, she knew that someone knew this very well.

Bai Yan gave an awkward but polite smile: "The bishop is indeed going to pass the throne to Lady Theresa. There is no need for anyone to doubt the truth of this matter."

Tesla asked suspiciously, "But theoretically, from your perspective, we are the rebels of Destiny."

"There's no need to worry too much about that. After all, the bishop was also of the blood of Apocalypse, and he entered Vienna as a rebel, eventually ascending to the position of bishop and changing the corrupt old destiny."

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone wore expressions that were hard to describe.

Anyone familiar with the history of Mandate of Heaven knows how inhuman the Papacy was back then.

But Bai Yan's words, if not blunt, could certainly be considered unrestrained.

It's tantamount to saying, "You are rebels, but I think it's justified."

Among the Anti-Entropy group, Bai Yan spotted Raiden Mei and the disgruntled Herrscher of Knowledge.

According to Bai Yan's observation, the reason for the latter's displeasure was probably after she saw Li Sushang.

However, the one who understood the law approached Bai Yan first.

"Where's that woman?"

“…Which woman?” Bai Yan raised his eyebrows.

"You didn't see her?"

"Who did you see?"

A deep sense of doubt arose in Bai Yan's heart, and seeing the astonishment on the face of the Herrscher of Knowledge only deepened his confusion.

"Never mind, you don't know her anyway," the Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hand and walked away, muttering to herself, "Where am I supposed to look for her now? Sigh, I completely forgot to get her contact information..."

Just as everyone was discussing in hushed tones, Otto suddenly transmitted a projected communication.

Hello everyone, it's been a long time!

"Who wants to see you unless you're a corpse!" Tesla muttered.

“Otto, what exactly are you planning to do?” Theresa questioned him bluntly.

[As for cultivating inner strength, I think you need to learn from Bai Yan at my headquarters. You're about to become a Bishop of Destiny, so you should have a certain amount of composure—haha, but this look is quite cute, and as your grandfather, I'm happy to see it.]

"..."

Ah, and there's another old friend here. How are you? Has your injury healed all these years? How's your health?

“Otto, if this is going to continue with this pointless conversation, then we can stop here,” Walter said.

[It's just a matter of catching up after not seeing each other for a long time; I think this will help our conversation later...]

Otto kept attacking relentlessly, and Li Sushang, unaware of the grudges behind it all, vaguely sensed something was amiss, so she quietly asked Bai Yan, "Why do they look so grim?"

“Mr. Walter’s father died at Otto’s hands, Kiana’s mother also died on Otto’s orders, Dr. Tesla…” Bai Yan read the key questions aloud in a low voice.

Li Sushang understood and was deeply shocked.

"Is he complaining that his enemy is too slow in striking?"

"That seems to be the case at present, and they even made sure that they remained rational and thoughtful when seeking revenge, so as to avoid falling into a misunderstanding."

"...But I noticed that Durandal's complexion also seemed quite bad."

"We'll talk about this later. Let's wait a bit. We're about to get some work done, so let's get ready."

Li Sushang sighed; she roughly knew what was going to happen soon.

So, Theresa, I've decided to give you a chance to test yourselves.

"What do you mean?!"

"You'll know when the time comes, so I need some time now—Durandal, Rita, Li Sushang, Ragnar, and Bai Yan, in the name of the current Archbishop of Destiny, I order you to stop them!"

Ladies and gentlemen, I look forward to your performance...

Otto's projection disappeared.

Yulandel stepped out from Bai Yan and the others, facing Bai Yan directly, and they gazed at each other.

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.

“He wants to reverse time in the outside world to 500 years ago,” Durandal said.

“I heard it. It’s a very bold idea,” Bai Yan said calmly.

"I'm going to stop him."

"Go ahead."

"...Qi ren er san-/lin si IX qi yi san si...aren't you going to stop me?" Durandal suddenly stopped.

"Why should I stop you?" Bai Yan spread his hands. "Go if you want, I support you."

Now no one knows how to do it. (Saki II, 04 Hisagi G)

Ragnar scratched his head, unsure what expression to make.

When she saw Durandal's posture, she wondered if she should step in and persuade her not to fight with Xiao Yan.

As a result, the latter directly released the person.

"What about them?"

"They have to rely on their own abilities."

Durandal stared at him: "You know I don't want to be your enemy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a beam of light rise in the distance, enveloping the area centered around the abandoned church.

"It's not too late to go now. If he fights with me, he'll have succeeded."

Durandal looked around, hesitated for a moment, and headed straight for the church.

"Someone has already turned against us before the war has even started. Bai Yan, are you sure you still want to stop us?" Tesla said, hands on his hips.

“I’ve already said, you have to rely on your own abilities,” Bai Yan said, a long sword appearing in his hand. With a casual slash, a long, deep pit appeared in front of him, separating the two groups of people. “If you have a clear understanding of your own strength, you won’t get hurt if you leave now.”

Volume 1: Chapter 129: A couple of slashes, and it's worth the bishop's salary.

A flash of purple lightning appeared, and Raiden Mei held a katana in her hand. She stepped forward and said, "Then we'll just have to give it a try."

"You're acting like it's the real deal, thinking we're pushovers?" The Herrscher of Knowledge twisted her wrist, her face full of fighting spirit.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Li Sushang shook her head, and the Xuanyuan Sword appeared behind her.

Rita also took out the giant scythe.

Himeko and Ragnar were positioned slightly behind. They exchanged a glance and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, someone made the first move.

Surprisingly, it was Bronya who made the move.

"Mimicry: Heart of Eden!"

Bai Yan and his two companions suddenly felt their legs sink, as if gravity had increased exponentially.

"Bronya will hold them off for now, Kiana, you guys hurry up and go—"

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Bai Yan suddenly gave her a strange smile and reached out his hand towards her.

In an instant, the gravity beneath their feet vanished.

Then Kiana and the others were surprised to find that the power that belonged only to the Herrscher of Rock had suddenly been applied to them.

"How could this be?!" Bronya exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Yan smiled at Bronya and slowly uttered a single word: "Faker!"

"He is also a Herrscher! The true Herrscher of Rock!" Welt exclaimed in realization.

Ragnar and Himeko stood together, away from the battlefield.

Himeko said with utter helplessness, "It seems you've encountered a similar situation."

Ragnar: "Yeah, yeah..."

However, deep down, Ragnar thought: It mainly became like this after I went to your side, I'm not taking the blame for this.

After actively removing the core of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, Bai Yan was able to fuse with a new core. So he put the Rock Herrscher core back in and temporarily suppressed the feeling of rejection.

In terms of strength, Bronya was already inferior to Bai Yan, and her understanding and reproduction of the Herrscher of Reason was not as good as the original, which is why she was easily suppressed.

At this moment, Kiana was the first to break free of the gravity field and charged directly at Shirohiko.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately changed tactics, clenching his right hand tightly.

A small black hole immediately appeared between the two, its terrifying gravity swallowing everything, and light was trapped inside.

"Humph!"

Kiana stopped, slightly wary of the black hole, but quickly extended her hand (the one without the sword) and snapped her fingers.

Snapped!

The power of the Herrscher of the Void was unleashed, and the black hole was swallowed by a massive sub-void gate that suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Bai Yan stopped using his powers directly and instead used the Luoshen Sword.
