Playful! Collapse!

"As expected of the leader, you've thought it through so thoroughly."

He had no intention of killing anyone, but only intended to use this method to intimidate other branches of Tianming, and temporarily prevent the two sides from fighting directly for various reasons now that the Fifth Collapse is about to break out.

As for whether Yuan Yan's method is a bit too radical...

Anyway, as a conservative, Einstein has now approved of Yuan Yan's radical style of behavior.

She, Tesla, and Joachim were conservatives because they felt that when facing destiny, some radical actions were too inhumane and could not produce sufficiently good results.

These three people are not really old-fashioned. After realizing that the radical Yuan Yan can get things done, who cares whether his methods are conservative or radical?

Rather, after learning about Yuan Yan's actions, Einstein even felt that he was moved by his behavior.

If radicals can accomplish something if they have enough power, then why not act radically?

And to put it bluntly, Yuan Yan just used our previous methods in a different way.

After Joyce's death, Joachim disguised himself as Joyce for more than 40 years in order to scare Otto, who was unaware of the truth.

Otto, who was unaware of the truth, thought that Joyce was not dead for this reason and was frightened and did not dare to take action for more than 40 years.

Now, Yuan Yan pretended to kill a member of the branch.

In Einstein's eyes, what he did was simply to "pretend" to be someone who was not to be trifled with in order to intimidate those enemies who were about to act recklessly.

In this process, the human anti-Houkai organization did lose a fission bomb and a branch building.

But considering that Otto had never dropped a fission bomb on the Herrscher, Einstein thought it was a waste anyway. Using this thing to set off fireworks was much better than having a fission bomb explode over their heads.

"Now that the leader has temporarily occupied the Tianming headquarters, it will be easier for us to carry out some of our plans."

Looking at Theresa's gloomy face, Einstein smiled helplessly and said.

"As for the task of appeasing the members of the Oceania branch, I'll leave it to Ms. Theresa, who is highly respected within the Mandate."

"Highly respected? Forget it."

Hearing the curses coming from behind her, Theresa responded unhappily.

"Since they saw me, these people, who didn't know I had defected, have been cursing at me for a full five minutes."

"The highly respected Far East Branch Chief is a thing of the past. Now, I am a notorious ungrateful person."

"...I'm truly sorry. We will redress your innocence in the future."

"Now, please be patient."

After watching the intelligence screen disappear, Theresa turned and looked at her colleagues.

Listening to the curses coming from this group of people, Theresa let out a long sigh of helplessness.

Although she had been mentally prepared to be cursed by her colleagues from the day she was about to leave Tianming.

But being prepared doesn't mean you won't feel uncomfortable when facing reality.

Moreover, from the perspective of these colleagues who did not know the truth, Theresa was indeed the most damnable traitor.

After all, in the eyes of the members of Destiny, Otto loved his unrelated clone granddaughter and gave her everything he could.

Otto's love for Theresa was obvious to everyone in Tianming. But now Theresa had betrayed Otto. In the eyes of this group of people, her behavior was naturally the worst kind of betrayal.

"Alright, alright, stop cursing and save some energy, everyone."

Looking at the members of the Oceania branch in front of her, Theresa placed the Oath of Judas on the ground and took the initiative to show a non-hostile attitude.

"The food and water from Anti-Entropy will be delivered soon. Why don't you wait until you are full and satisfied before considering how to scold me?"

After listening to Theresa's speech, a Valkyrie with a strong personality stood up and shouted at Theresa.

"Bah! You damn traitor!"

"Lord Otto raised you and gave you so much, yet you—I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"Ah, Theresa, you have such a good temper."

Siegfried, who was hiding his face with a hood, had a look of displeasure in his eyes after reading what Yuan Yan had told him.

After drawing out the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire and shooting at the Valkyrie's feet, Siegfried took off his hood and spoke to the members of the Destiny who were silent at the same time.

"It's true that they don't know the truth, but not knowing the truth doesn't give them a reason to abuse you."

"Siegfried Kaslana?!"

After seeing the man's true face, the Valkyrie suddenly showed an expression of great joy.

But soon, she suppressed this expression and revealed an even angrier look.

"How dare you get involved with this damned traitor? You two damned traitors, what you're doing now is worthy of Bishop Otto, your fellow officers of the Mandate of Heaven, and the late Grand Princess Cecilia—"

"You are not allowed to..."

"Mention Cecilia's name!"

The Valkyrie, who was originally planning to set the pace, found herself being knocked away by two huge forces in the next second.

After seeing the Valkyrie being "imprinted" on the steel wall of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters by Siegfried and Theresa at the same time, the others who were about to respond to those words now chose to keep silent.

Looking at the half-dead Valkyrie, Siegfried looked at the other members of the Destiny team present with a stern expression, and spoke coldly to everyone.

"I know you think I'm a damned traitor, but—fourteen years ago, when Otto dropped a fission bomb on me and Cecilia, some of you hadn't even reached your destiny yet."

"But......"

Listening to Siegfried's speech, a short-haired girl in a wheelchair asked Siegfried in a very weak voice.

"Isn't it because you and your wife couldn't defeat the Second Herrscher that Bishop Otto launched the fission bomb?"

Looking at the disabled girl, Siegfried, who was about to get angry, suppressed his anger and snorted coldly.

"...Humph, you little brat, I'm too lazy to bother with you."

"I defeated the Second Herrscher back then, but because its core erupted with unpredictable energy, Cecilia and I exhausted our last bit of strength in order to seal it."

"In this process, we were actually prepared for sacrifice. I even anticipated that Otto would not send a rescue team."

"If he really just did this, I wouldn't blame him. After all, we've exhausted our strength and might already be dead in his eyes. But..."

"Not only did he not rescue us, he even used a fission bomb to silence us."

At this point, Siegfried's face was already showing the shell of a Honkai beast due to excessive anger.

"Otto was the one who betrayed me first, and I left Destiny after he committed more evil deeds."

"Whether you believe these words or not is up to you. Anyway, my conscience is clear. If anyone dares to mention Cecilia's name to defend Otto..."

"—Then don't blame me for taking out the anger I've held back for fourteen years on you!"

To be honest, Siegfried's actions at this time obviously made the atmosphere at the scene even more tense.

Although the atmosphere became more tense, no one dared to step forward and accuse Siegfried and Theresa to their faces.

The reason is simple - no matter how unhappy they are with the actions of these two 'traitors', they just can't defeat them.

These two people were the holders of the Divine Key who had fought against the Second Herrscher Sirin and survived. However, the people from the Oceania branch were captured and taken to the Anti-Entropy Headquarters before they could even equip themselves with weapons. Who would dare to show up at this time? The most likely thing would be to accompany the unlucky guy who was hit into the wall.

Looking at this group of members of the Destiny who dared to be angry but not to speak out, Siegfried was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore.

Just as Brother Yuan Yan said, someone will definitely jump out to lead the rhythm.

Although this group of people are very dissatisfied with us, according to the guy, the person who will jump out to lead the rhythm first is most likely a die-hard fan of Otto.

And that guy who is now on his last breath... Hey, I haven't forgotten that when this guy saw me, the "traitor", a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

This guy must have thought that it would be easier to set the pace with me around, so she had that weird look on her face.

For others who don't know, I might still hesitate to take action.

But I have no mercy on Otto's lackeys.

"that......"

Looking at Siegfried with the Honkai Beast shell still on his face, the girl looked at Theresa with a complicated expression.

"Long time no see, Teacher Theresa."

"Yeah, long time no see, Wendy."

Looking at the girl sitting in the wheelchair, Theresa took a deep breath and forced herself to stop looking away.

"It's my responsibility that your body is like this. If you..."

"I blame you."

After rudely interrupting Theresa's words, Siegfried tore off the shell on his face and looked at Wendy, who had a complicated expression.

"So you are Wendy, Yuan Yan... The leader asked me to tell you something."

"Because the Desire Gem has been fused into your body, your legs can no longer function properly."

"He will have the technicians at Anti-Entropy find a solution to this matter. If possible, please cooperate with our actions."

"Hey!"

After noticing the obvious fear in Wendy's eyes, Theresa pulled Siegfried aside and whispered to him.

"Don't scare Wendy!"

"I didn't mean to scare her."

Seeing Theresa's nervous attitude, Siegfried shrugged helplessly.

"Brother Yuan Yan told me that Anti-Entropy now has more than just Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla. Miss Danzhu and Miss Cangxuan are also scientists from the Fire Moth."

"Mr. Su, who was knocked to the ground by that young man earlier, is also the research director of the Fire Moth. Now that Anti-Entropy has gathered so many scientists, even if they can't help Wendy remove the Herrscher core from her body, they can at least delay its erosion of her."

"...You have no idea what the situation is like."

Looking back on everything she had done, Theresa no longer knew how to explain it all.

Although this incident was caused by Otto's vicious plan, even if Theresa had to take measures out of necessity, it did not prevent her from becoming one of the perpetrators in the process.

Yuan Yan and Siegfried's ideas are correct from a rational point of view, but Wendy is so young, and after experiencing human experiments from the organization, asking her to carry out similar actions again will only increase her inner negative emotions.

Some problems cannot be solved by reasoning.

But in the final analysis - isn't it all grandpa's fault?

Grandpa, if you hadn't caused so much trouble back then, I wouldn't have to worry so much now!

Destiny Headquarters. Bishop's Office

In the bishop's office, Kevin looked at Otto's body, which Yuan Yan had casually thrown aside, with a look of approval in his eyes.

Among the technologies left behind by the Fire Moths, there is indeed technology for making bodies out of soul steel.

However, from a technical point of view, the body left behind by Otto, who was eliminated by Yuan Yan, was made of stronger soul steel while using less soul steel.

"What's wrong, Senior Kevin?"

Seeing Kevin's approving expression, Yuan Yan asked Kevin.

"Think this thing is great?"

"really."

After lifting Otto's body from the ground, Kevin injected some Honkai energy into the soul steel body and nodded slightly.

"The amount of Honkai energy that can be accommodated also exceeded my expectations."

"If combined with the proper armament, this Soul Steel body can already defeat most fusion warriors, regardless of experience and skills."

"That's true."

After confirming Kevin's statement, a sarcastic smile appeared on Yuan Yan's face.

"So, if I tell you, Mr. Kevin, that this man has forged hundreds of soul steel bodies out of soul steel, and then left them at the Destiny headquarters on standby, what would you think?"

?

? ?

???

After listening to Yuan Yan's speech, Kevin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuan Yan with great confusion.

"Is your combat power in this era sufficient for you to squander such a precious material as Soul Steel?"
