Playful! Collapse!

[Not good, Cocolia's progress is too fast.]

[Based on the energy wavelength disturbances and the frequency of electromagnetic faults we detected in Changkong City, the state of the Conquest Gem is becoming increasingly unstable.]

"Knew it……"

After walking out of the crowd, Siegfried continued to ask Einstein.

"What about Destiny? Otto is no jerk. Don't tell me he doesn't know what Cocolia is planning."

[Otto has already dispatched an S-class Valkyrie to Changkong City.]

"Oh?"

Hearing this news, Siegfried couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.

"This time, he seems to be just as concerned as last time."

【No, you are wrong. 】

At this time, Einstein continued to say to Siegfried.

He sent enough troops, but he didn't let the Valkyries take action.

[To put it simply—I don't think he intended to stop Cocolia's idea.]

"Ha, I knew it... He never disappoints anyone when it comes to disappointing others."

"I have a guest here, let's talk later."

[Well, proceed with caution, after all, you——]

Siegfried, who had proactively cut off communication, looked at these 'ordinary people' who were gradually approaching him from all directions, with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Hey, if Otto doesn't have time to manage the Herrschers, he should come manage me. I say, everyone..."

"—Do you want to knock yourself out, or wait for me to knock you out?"

"Let me tell you in advance, I'm in a bad mood right now."

"If you fight me now, I won't be in the mood to care about your life or death."

Volume 1: Chapter 9. Everything in the Dream

Changkong City. Destiny Secret Base

In Tianming's secret base, Rita looked at the man who appeared on the screen in front of her and bowed slightly to him.

"Lord Otto, I'm very sorry for not being able to contact you in time."

"No problem."

At this time, Otto, who was at the headquarters of Satori, was looking at the messages sent by other subordinates and asked Rita casually.

"I heard before that there are members of Anti-Entropy in Changkong City who are actively spreading some information to the outside world."

"What happened after you took the initiative to test him?"

"I didn't see that man."

After saying this, Rita recalled the letters she saw in Yuan Yan's room and added to Otto.

"But I suspect that he... is probably filled with resentment towards his faction boss, Cocolia, deep down."

"Oh? I see..."

After hearing the news, Otto thought about it for a moment and said with a chuckle.

"Do you think he's valuable enough?"

"Of course."

Rita, who had already guessed that Otto might ask for her opinion, spoke to Otto very seriously.

"Although I didn't meet that man directly, based on some of the things he left in his room, I feel that he was a bit too emotional in his actions."

"Because I'm dissatisfied with Cocolia, I chose to use this simple and crude method to try to use the power of destiny to destroy Cocolia's plan. To be honest..."

"Because of this incident, he is an idiot who can be used in your eyes, right?"

After taking over Rita's words, Otto suddenly tapped his fingers in the air a few times and sent a piece of information to Rita.

"After reading this file, continue your action."

After receiving the intelligence file, Rita did not check it immediately, but couldn't help but asked Otto about her doubts.

"Lord Otto, should our subsequent course of action still be..."

"Yes, hold your ground."

Otto, who was about to cut off the communication at this time, noticed the doubts in Rita's heart and showed a helpless smile on his face.

"Don't overthink it. Cocolia has been planning this for so long, and we've only just received the intelligence. We've already lost to them in terms of preparation time."

"If we act rashly now and provoke Cocolia into launching her plan prematurely, it will only put Tianming in an even more awkward position in this match."

"...Yes, I understand."

After losing communication with Otto, Rita couldn't say that she didn't believe a word of Otto's last words, but she was also full of doubts.

If she were an ordinary Valkyrie, she would have been moved to tears to hear that Otto, the busy archbishop, was willing to explain the principles of the plan to her.

But as a Valkyrie who has just been promoted to S-class, Rita certainly cannot be compared with ordinary Valkyries in this regard.

As Otto's confidant, Rita actually knew that Bishop Otto was not the pure white man that some people imagined.

It can even be said that Otto is not a black-hearted person, but he is not a black-hearted person, and the reason why he is not a black-hearted person is simply because he has a [glove] like Rita.

Otto's words seemed to be fine, but in fact Rita knew very well that the biggest loophole in this explanation was just one word.

This word is exactly the time that Otto keeps emphasizing.

Otto told Rita that after Destiny knew about the anti-entropy plan, there was not enough time to prepare, so it would not be good for Destiny to act rashly now.

But the problem is that Rita, who has the authority of an S-class Valkyrie, had already known through her authority before coming to Changkong City that various small and medium-sized collapses were frequently occurring all over the world.

Her partner and captain, Bianca, was unable to arrive in Changkong City in time to prepare for the battle because she was trying to suppress the sudden outbreak of Honkai events around the world.

The Honkai phenomenon broke out in various parts of the world. According to the AI ​​analysis records of the Destiny Database, it can be basically confirmed that this is a precursor to the outbreak of a large-scale Honkai at the level of [Hersher Awakening].

In addition, the electromagnetic equipment in Changkong City is sometimes working and sometimes not, which is enough to prove that [The Herrscher of Thunder is about to awaken].

Once the Herrscher of Thunder awakens, the anti-entropy plan will enter the next stage. In Rita's opinion, Destiny is dragging its feet at this time, which is really not very smart.

After all, although Rita is Otto's confidant, before that she was a Valkyrie who fought against Honkai.

If the third collapse really breaks out, the millions of people in Changkong City will definitely not be able to be saved.

As a Valkyrie who protects the world against the collapse, knowing that millions of people could die before her eyes at any moment, if she could face it all calmly...

Well, she felt that she would probably never be able to face all this calmly in her lifetime.

If she had enough ability, what she would want to do now would definitely not be these preparatory work, but to solve the problem directly.

But there is everything in the dream, but the reality is very cruel.

Although Rita Rossweisse is an outstanding Valkyrie, it is still too difficult for her to rely on her to solve the super-large-scale Honkai incident alone.

After sorting out her thoughts a little, Rita made some speculations.

I think I understand what Lord Otto is thinking.

We continue to hold our ground and make preparations. Once Anti-Entropy's plan goes smoothly, they and the Herrscher of Thunder will either fight to a draw or a decisive victory.

After this stage is over, we, the Destiny, can act as the "yellow bird" to take advantage of the opportunity and seize the Herrscher of Thunder or the Conquest Gem.

There is nothing wrong with the entire plan - except that millions of people will die in vain in Changkong City, there is indeed no problem with this plan.

Lord Otto, just as imagined, although he is not a bloodthirsty butcher, he does not care about the lives of ordinary people.

At this moment, after recalling the letter she had read, Rita let out a breath.

It’s really troublesome. At this moment, I actually felt some resonance with Mr. Yuan Yan, whom I had never met before.

If the boss likes to act recklessly, the subordinates will have a headache.

But...even so, I can only act according to Lord Otto's plan.

After all, Dad and Mom are still in Klosten. If I do something stupid...

After forcing herself to suppress some unnecessary thoughts temporarily, Rita opened the intelligence file given to her by Otto.

In the intelligence file, Rita saw two pieces of information.

First, the traitor of the Destiny, Siegfried Kaslana, had appeared in Changkong City and left the scene after fighting with the members of the Destiny.

Second, Yuan Yan, a member of Anti-Entropy, is now working with K423.

PS; Second update, continue tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 10. Do you wish I were a ghost?

In a restaurant in Changkong City, Kiana excitedly ordered a lot of dishes from the menu before handing it to Yuan Yan.

Looking at the menu handed over by Kiana, Yuan Yan just took a glance and said to the waiter beside him.

"A glass of iced Americano, thank you."

"Hey, Senior, can't you eat more?"

Seeing Yuan Yan's perfunctory attitude at this time, Kiana took out her wallet and put it on the table.

"I actually brought my wallet today."

"I don't have much appetite, forget it."

Looking at the young man in front of her, Kiana recalled the way Yuan Yan was frantically chewing chocolate when she saw him before, and immediately whispered to him.

"I don't know who just ate chocolate like a demon."

"Then just assume I'm full."

After picking up the glass of water brought by the waiter, Yuan Yan did not look at Kiana, but instead focused his eyes on the glass of water.

[Okay, stop looking. There's no drugs in it. Drink it safely.]

......No, you still have this function.

[Please don't treat this as a permanent feature. After all, this system won't remind you this every time.]

[And, to put it bluntly, this system's reminder is also related to your own thoughts.]

[Now, you have more or less guessed what this restaurant is about. 】

Yes.

At this time, after confirming the Five Poisons of Qingshui, Yuan Yan looked up at this seemingly ordinary shop.

The Far East, this place should theoretically be considered the territory of destiny.

However, due to the fact that Raiden Ryuma's business acumen was very strong, and Theresa's abilities as a branch manager were not very good, Changkong City, which was theoretically the territory of destiny, had actually long since become a form of reverse entropy.

However, Tianming would definitely not watch Changkong City being "occupied" by the enemy so easily just because Theresa did nothing.

When Yuan Yan was shopping in the commercial street before, he was very suspicious that Changkong City was probably full of hidden tricks laid by Anti-Entropy and Tianming.

Members of the Anti-Entropy Group like him have been placed next to Mei Raiden, so who can guarantee that the Yakitori Sage in the bar, the waiters in the Western restaurant, and the owner of the electrical appliance repair shop are not his [colleagues]?

Facing Yuan Yan, whose thoughts had drifted elsewhere, Kiana muttered to herself with a hint of helplessness.

"It seems that I really don't have much charm. Senior, from just now until now, I really feel that you are... absent-minded."

"That's what you said."

After gently putting down the empty water cup in his hand, Yuan Yan looked at Kiana expressionlessly and spoke.

"Do you want me to be a jerk and stare at your face and chest?"

"...Then let's just forget about it."
