Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Seeing the situation was dire and fearing that Bai Yan would come after him again, the Herrscher of Knowledge, relying on the body of the Fusion Warrior, withstood Durandal's attacks and quickly broke through.

When Durandal struck her, she felt her internal organs tremble. If her body hadn't been tough enough, she would have been sent into the cycle of reincarnation long ago.

"You two are in cahoots! Just you wait!"

After uttering a harsh remark, the Lawyer of Knowledge made a hasty escape.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up with her, Durandal quickly returned to the laboratory, wanting to get some answers from Bai Yan.

However, as soon as they landed, they saw that Bai Yan had two more women with him.

A woman with white hair and an indifferent expression, though stunningly beautiful, possessed a cold and aloof air.

The other person, with blue hair, looked at me curiously, and smiled and nodded politely when our eyes met; she had a refined and elegant demeanor, and a special sense of friendliness, as if there would be no barrier between us when we talked.

"Let me introduce you. This is my childhood friend, the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of the Destiny Organization, Bianca Durandal Atagina. Everyone usually calls her Durandal."

Then, Bai Yan looked at Durandal: "This is my master, the former Sword Master of Luofu, one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, Jingliu; and this is Miss Robin, the singer of the Sky Ring Clan, a future cosmic superstar."

“Bai Yan, it’s not that exaggerated,” Robin complained, then looked at Durandal, “Hello, Miss Durandal, nice to meet you!”

"Hello……"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jing Liu asked Bai Yan, "Is it alright to let that person go?"

"It's alright, someone will take care of her."

The Herrscher of Knowledge suffered a setback and might cause trouble for me afterward, but it won't be like when he seeks revenge against Otto, where he's driven by a deep-seated hatred and a determination to stand up for Fu Hua.

After all, he received 50,000 years of cramming education from Fu Hua, so he is inherently upright.

After Durandal ended her battle, her gaze never left Bai Yan, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear again.

"Where have you been all this time?" she asked, staring at Bai Yan.

She seemed to be trying her best to suppress her emotions, but everyone could still hear the unease in her voice.

"I'll recover from my injuries, help some friends out of their troubles, and maybe even make a little extra money for myself."

Durandal was clearly dissatisfied with this statement.

However, because there were strangers present, she couldn't make a scene.

"Where is Sister Rita?"

"She went on a secret mission and hasn't returned yet."

Where is Professor Ragnar?

"They are also carrying out missions."

"I see. What about the bishop?"

"died."

"He should be revived by now. Let's go to his office."

Bai Yan and Youlandail remained calm, but the other two silently wondered what was going on in their minds.

What died and came back to life? Is it some kind of bountiful creature?

Filled with doubt, the group, led by Durandal, arrived at Otto's office.

Otto glanced at the two unfamiliar people and smiled.

"Welcome back, Bai Yan. I am very relieved to see that you are still alive."

He then looked at Jingliu and the Robin.

"We are deeply ashamed that our distinguished guests have come from afar to witness such an unseemly scene."

"Otto Apocalypse is currently the head of this organization."

Bai Yan stepped forward: "This is my swordsmanship teacher, Jing Liu; this is the singer of the Tianhuan Clan, Zhi Gun Niao."

Otto felt a slight doubt in his mind, because there was no information about these two people in his database.

He then had a certain guess, but he didn't show it on his face.

Bai Yan is no longer the same as before. The fact that he defeated the four-core Herrscher of the Void and returned alive is enough for Otto to take him seriously.

Moreover, judging from his attitude, the white-haired woman was probably even stronger than him.

I never expected this...

At this moment, Bai Yan suddenly took out a fiery red gem from the lapel of the fairy boat outfit.

Otto watched as he handed the gem to him, and a sense of doubt crept into his mind.

"Bai Yan from the Intelligence Department is here to report on his duties."

"In addition, I have a proposal that I hope the bishop will consider."

Volume 1: Chapter 86: Silly Goose: You're the one who needs to ask!

Otto immediately became extremely wary when Bai Yan returned and immediately said he had a plan.

They had a plan, and they even brought out the Plague Gem, which was quite shocking.

Didn't you forcibly fuse the gems?

"plan?"

"Yes, Bai Yan's memories are in here."

"If the gem can be returned to its true owner, then Kiana Kaslana will be able to communicate with the memory inside it the moment they come into contact with it."

"The script remains unchanged. Bai Yan is dead, and the dead are often more useful than the living."

After speaking, Bai Yan looked at Otto, waiting for his response.

Of all those present, Durandal's reaction was the strongest. Her gaze was extremely complex, as if she sensed a certain quality in the young man before her.

How can you say something like "dead is more useful than alive" without batting an eye?

—Also, you didn't seem to specify what the plan was, did you? Why did it seem like you and Otto had some kind of communication?

Yulandel secretly decided that once this matter was over, she must capture Bai Yan and interrogate him thoroughly.

Otto was slightly taken aback, seemingly also feeling a bit shocked by Bai Yan's suggestion.

But he was a man of character, and he quickly understood Bai Yan's intentions.

So he picked up the gem.

"An interesting suggestion, but how do you plan to get the gems to Kiana Kaslana?"

Upon hearing this question, Durandal's thought was: Why not just give it to them directly?

Jingliu's gaze shifted, as if he understood something.

The robin blinked, completely bewildered, but after some thought, it recalled Bai Yan during the battle against the antimatter legion on Beloberg.

She seemed to understand, her surprise evident in her expression.

I need to ask her properly about Miss Kiana later!

The robin accurately captured the key information, sensing that there must be some interesting story behind it.

Bai Yan said, "This requires the strong support of His Excellency the Bishop. To give, you must first take; a straightforward approach often attracts the attention of many people, which makes it difficult to succeed."

Otto pondered, "So, you need to take a roundabout approach, achieving our true objective before Kiana and the others even realize it?"

"Of course."

"What's the specific plan?"

"Wasn't the one who caused such a ruckus at headquarters the eighth-ranked Herrscher of Knowledge?"

Otto chuckled and said, "That's right. Due to some unavoidable reasons, the Crimson Kite Immortal fell into a state of death, and unexpectedly, the Herrscher of Consciousness took over that body."

Even the robin was skeptical of his first words.

If there's no enmity, others won't deliberately cause trouble.

Bai Yan remained calm and then asked, "Has the Ninth Herrscher descended ahead of schedule?"

"No, but why would you ask that?"

"Just asking casually—what about the Herrscher of Ice?"

“Regarding this,” Otto sat up slightly, “the Herrscher of Ice, Anna Schariac, has gone missing, but according to Rita’s investigation, she was likely taken away by World Serpent.”

"Before this, there was a major collapse in the area where she was located, but it was so small that the casualties were negligible."

"This is corroborated by the fact that her current mental state seems relatively stable, but the specifics are still unclear. Perhaps the World Serpent can provide the answer."

"Furthermore, the Herrscher of Thunder has fully awakened and joined World Serpent. If possible, she might be willing to tell you about it."

When Durandal heard Otto explain things so bluntly, she couldn't help but immediately look at Bai Yan's reaction. However, she found that the latter showed no surprise except for a somewhat puzzled expression.

"..."

She felt that her childhood sweetheart was becoming increasingly incomprehensible to people.

　@<拌死令泣尔??〖俬拔丝逡 Hearing news about Raiden Mei, Bai Yan thought that this point hadn't changed; Mei would eventually stand up for herself.

What about Bronya?

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Welt was thrown into the Sea of ​​Quanta by the Herrscher of the Void, and Kiana, true to her promise, would do everything she could to rescue Seele.

In that case, Kevin will probably come out too.

Otto waited a moment, then, feeling the time was right, raised his question.

"What is your purpose in doing all this?"

At this moment, Otto had placed Bai Yan in a very high position, because the latter was enough to influence his plans.

Since Bai Yan has expressed his intention to cooperate, it is necessary to determine whether there is a conflict between their goals.

“My goal is simple: I crave power, Bishop.”

Jing Liu was alright; she didn't think there was anything wrong with what this disciple said.

Durandal and the robin felt that these words did not sound like something he should have said, but rather that they should have come from a villain.

“Power?” Otto repeated in confusion.

“Yes,” Bai Yanyi shrugged. “Your efforts to orchestrate the Herrscher of the Void must be to use her power to accomplish something earth-shattering.”

"And I happen to be very interested in this ultimate power."

"Please don't worry, I just hope to understand the deepest essence of it by witnessing that most crucial moment."

“I wholeheartedly support what the bishop wants to accomplish.”

"Because in my view, those who can pass on the idea of ​​fighting for all the good in the world will ultimately be the ones who move the world forward."

—If your plan is to send you to your death, then I have no choice but to wholeheartedly agree.

"..."

It's hard to describe Durandal's feelings at this moment.

The sense of déjà vu from her is getting stronger and stronger.

Moreover, she was quite certain that this sense of déjà vu was not her imagination, because the control group was right next to her.

“However,” Otto said calmly, “you still haven’t told me your real plan.”

“Sorry, I got a little carried away,” Bai Yan smiled awkwardly. “Actually, it’s very simple. It’s about using hypnosis to put me into a state of despair, and then having the soon-to-arrive Tenth Herrscher turn me into a part of her.”

"no!"

Yulandel blurted out, not even caring about the gazes of everyone present, staring at Bai Yan as if she had no intention of giving up.

Otto pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It is indeed a sure thing, but to be on the safe side, perhaps cooperating with the Tenth Herrscher would be a more secure approach."

At this point in the conversation, Otto had basically determined the extent to which Bai Yan was aware of the situation.

Based on the information left by the Civilization, it is entirely possible to deduce the characteristics of the Civilization Heralds.

Kiana and the others will definitely clash with the Tenth Herrscher, and it would be a logical step for Kiana to obtain the Plague Gem through her.

In order to evoke negative emotions in the target, the Tenth Herrscher would use the clue of "only seeing the jewel but not the person" to make Kiana think that the person's life had already dissipated into the imaginary space...
