Chapter 78

"Otto――!!"

Bai Ge stared at Otto with extreme anger. Although he knew that this was just a soul-steel body of his, even tearing it into pieces wouldn't cause any impact on this guy.

But what he felt at this moment was an uncontrollable anger like a volcanic eruption! So much so that several Herrscher authorities went out of control for a few seconds.

Just when Bai Ge wanted to use the authority of the Herrscher of the Void to bring Sirin and Aurora and the others back.

The finger Otto placed on the trigger of the pseudo-Shamash applied a little force, as if warning that his speed of pulling the trigger was faster.

"Gurgle!"

"Hahahahaha! What a ridiculous thing. I just moved my finger, and it stopped a Herrscher from resisting. Sure enough, your humanity, which is as brilliant as a gem, is your only and biggest weakness!"

Otto laughed proudly and wildly, and his posture of threatening the boy by hijacking the girls also made everyone feel resistance and disgust.

"Let go of these girls, Otto."

"Bishop, please don't do this."

"Grandpa, you are too much."

"Even if you are the Bishop, you can't do this."

"Otto, give up. The result of doing this is just pushing all of us to your opposite side."

Welt, Cecilia, Theresa, Siegfried, and Fu Hua, the five people collectively nailed their eyes to Otto.

Although some of them were Otto's subordinates, they were definitely not his puppets.

They were all Valkyries/Herrschers of humanity who possessed conscience and morality and fought to protect everything beautiful in the world, so they would not sit idly by and ignore his behavior.

However.

"Okay, okay~ I didn't expect that all of you, my most capable subordinates, my most beloved granddaughter, my oldest friends, would rather help a Herrscher than betray me. It's really sad... But I admit, this is indeed what Otto Apocalypse deserves."

Otto sighed, as if regretting, as if disappointed, but he didn't care at all.

"But before betraying me, you should also think rationally about whether you can do anything to me."

"Otto, what do you mean!"

"Haa~ Welt, I think you can pay attention to your Anti-Entropy first. Ten minutes ago, Schicksal launched a large-scale attack on Anti-Entropy. If you don't go to rescue them, I'm afraid you can only see a pile of ruins and corpses."

"What did you say!!"

"Immortal Chi Yuan, my old friend, don't look at me with such eyes. Don't worry, how could I threaten you? It's just... Cheng Lixue recently took a high-difficulty Honkai beast subjugation mission and has been out of contact for three hours. I think as that child's master, you should pay attention to it."

"Otto, what did you do to Lixue!"

"Hehe, finally, Cecilia, Theresa, Siegfried, did you forget that your cute daughter/niece is still on the floating island of Schicksal?"

"What do you want to do to Kiana!" x3

How creepy.

This is Otto Apocalypse.

This is the obsession of the fool of five hundred years.

Even if the power he holds is not very strong, Otto Apocalypse is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous people in this world, no, there is no one else!

With just three sentences, he completely sealed the actions of the five people, and with just a movement of his finger, he made a Herrscher give up resistance.

He played with human hearts to the limit, using what was most important to everyone in their hearts as chains to bind their actions.

"Welt, Fu Hua, you go." Bai Ge said after clenching his fists.

"Herrscher of the Void, you..."

"Everyone has things they must protect. That may be a treasure more important than life. I understand this feeling best... You don't need to worry about my affairs, and you don't want to lose the people who are important to you, right."

"Thank you." x2

The figures of important companions/disciples appeared in their minds. That was indeed an important thing that they must protect beyond their own lives.

The two thanked Bai Ge and immediately retreated.

"You guys too, Cecilia, Theresa, and who else? Forget it, it doesn't matter. I think family is the most important existence in this world, so... don't interfere either. Anyway, it's the same whether you are there or not."

"Herrscher of the Void, thank you, sorry."

"……It doesn't matter."

Clap~ clap~ clap~ clap~ clap~

Applause came from the side. Otto held the gun with one hand pointing at Sirin's head, and clapped his hands with the other hand as applause and cheers.

"It's really moving, it's really a beautiful and brilliant character. Herrscher of the Void, you are much more human than me. Now let's start, take off your Herrscher core, all the Herrscher cores, piece by piece."

"Hmph! One day, Otto Apocalypse, I will kill you thousands of times."

"I hope there really is such a day. Don't worry, after you peel off all the cores, I will let you and your companions go, and Schicksal will no longer make things difficult for you."

"…………"

Bai Ge raised his hand toward his heart in silence.

Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down from his forehead.

Soon a bloody purple gem was dug out, and there were faint electric arcs flickering on it.

The core of the Herrscher of Thunder, the Gem of Conquest.

"Here!"

Bai Ge threw the Gem of Conquest at Otto's feet, his action like a dead child throwing stones at people.

"Not bad, not bad. Continue, but for the next core, I want the core of the Herrscher of Death."

"Otto, WCNM."

"Whatever, if you can travel to the past, my sister, my sister, my mother, you can do whatever you want, but now hurry up and peel off the core."

"Hmph!"

Seeing Bai Ge raise his hand toward himself again.

Sirin's tears couldn't be controlled.

"Don't, don't do this, it's enough, please stop quickly, Bai Ge, we are not worth you hurting yourself again and again to protect us, so, stop quickly."

"What is worth it or not, Sirin, I am just protecting the person I love. I'm fine, be good, close your eyes, it will be over soon, cough cough!"

"Bai Ge! Bai Ge! Don't, please, I, don't want to see you hurt again, why, why do these people treat you like this!"

Sirin only felt a pair of hands gripping her heart. She looked at Bai Ge in despair and sorrow, looking at the most important him bleeding and injured because of herself again.

Self-blame, guilt, sorrow, pain, sadness, disappointment, anger, despair, countless negative emotions were about to grind her sanity away completely.

The girl asked herself countless times in her heart.

Why, why did it become like this?

Why can I only watch every time?

Why can I do nothing!

How many more times will this happen?

Because of useless burdens like them, useless waste, how many more times will Bai Ge be hurt!!

Enough, enough!

She had had enough of such things!

Sirin's eyes were split and her silver teeth were clenched. Rather than becoming Bai Ge's burden and letting him be hurt again and again because of herself, Sirin hated and loathed such a self more than anyone else!
