Time in a collapsing world

"It is you, Captain Kallen. It is you who has repeatedly obstructed destiny..."

Eleanor led the other members of the Valkyrie team out of the darkness, staring at Kallen's back with sharp eyes. Then a dagger appeared between each finger and rushed straight towards Kallen.

"Let's fight it out, Captain Kallen! No matter what your excuses are, I'm going to take you back!"

While Kallen hurriedly turned around to fight with Eleanor, the blond young man and the pink-haired boy appeared behind a wall in the basement.

"You brought her here?"

Otto looked at Yae Li quietly, who shook his head helplessly, "No, it's just a coincidence. You can only blame your subordinates for their incompetence."

"Really? I'll change a group of people later."

"What are you going to do now?"

Yaeri glanced at the two people fighting. Kallen was a little restrained and didn't want to hurt Eleanor, so she tried her best to convince her with words. Unfortunately, the other party's loyalty to Tianming was beyond her imagination, and she wanted to capture Kallen and bring her to justice.

"Karen has already discovered this place, and her identity has also been discovered. Even if you want to take her out afterwards, the old bishop won't agree, right?"

"With Uncle Francis here, Karen will be fine. And, you are here too."

Otto has confidence in Yaegiri. Among modern people, he is probably the one who knows Yaegiri best, even better than Yaegiri's two sisters.

"Okay, let's change the question. The main target of your research this time is still 'me', right? Or should I say the individual Herrscher? I believe you have seen this term in the 'library'."

"..."

Just as Yaegiri guessed, Otto drew Yaegiri's blood for research this time. Maybe in the future, in order to make further progress, he will desire more precious things from Yaegiri.

No one knew what would happen in the future, but Otto was sure that he would not make any more excessive demands on Yaeri now.

Moreover, we can learn from Hollow Manzang that there is more than one Herrscher. Even though Yaegiri is very special, Otto is more willing to exploit strangers than to ask for things from his friends.

"I'm sorry."

Otto lowered his head and apologized. His voice was so low that it was easily drowned out by the sound of fighting behind him, but Yaeri heard it clearly.

Yaeri was not angry. He would never get angry over such a small matter. Moreover, he could see that Otto had no ill will towards him.

"Otto, we are friends."

Yae Li smiled, "I am very tolerant towards my friends, so don't worry about it. The most important issue now is still Kallen, right? Her own safety will not be a problem, but I am worried that this guy will not be able to get over it, so... maybe you should think about how to explain it to her afterwards?"

Otto thought of the title of "Great Inventor" that Kallen had given him many years ago. His expression was a little gloomy and he shook his head. "I will convince her."

"I suggest you pour out the cup of 'blood' directly, give Karen an explanation in public, and promise not to go astray again..."

"..."

There was a flash of embarrassment in Otto's eyes. Although he knew that using living people for experiments was indeed against moral ethics, he still felt helpless and lost when he heard Yaegiri point out so bluntly that he had embarked on the wrong path.

"I will consider."

Otto nodded. He knew that his friendship with Kallen would probably never be the same again. Although the truth had not yet been fully revealed and Kallen didn't know that she was the mastermind, the truth would come out.

Otto felt that Kallen might be able to guess the truth soon, because this girl was not very good at thinking, but her intuition was always accurate.

The battle on Kallen's side was becoming more and more intense. Yaeri and Otto seemed to have no intention of stepping out to stop it, but they always kept a part of their attention there.

Taking advantage of this time, the former asked Otto some questions that he was concerned about, and the latter did not hide anything and informed Yaeri of some progress in the research.

"Perhaps you should consider the survival rate of these innocent girls who were captured later."

Yae Li showed a look of reminiscence, "I have a friend who also likes this kind of research, but it seems to me that your current knowledge of Honkai is completely inferior to hers. Perhaps it would be better for you to learn more before doing the experiment next time?"

Otto agreed to all of Yaeri's suggestions without saying whether he could do it or not, nor did he say how much effort and cost it would take to accomplish these things.

Even though Otto is now in a very glorious position in the Apocalips family, there is still a bishop above him. If he fails to produce satisfactory results to the other party within the specified time, he may be abandoned at any time.

He must become a "great inventor" and doesn't want to live at the bottom of the family like he did when he was a child!

Yaeri knew that Otto had his own goals and would not change himself because of a few words from others. She also knew that she did not belong to this era, so she only made some humane suggestions and did not force him.

He had no idea that his few words would be taken as a new target by the blond young man, nor did he know that he was the one who could truly influence Otto's life.

As the two talked, Kallen and Eleanor's fight finally came to an end.

After forcing Kallen to retreat again, Eleanor became even more annoyed, because throughout the battle, Kallen only dodged and did not attack, which made Eleanor, who wanted to defeat the opponent head-on, feel dissatisfied.

So she stopped temporarily and reached out to stop the other team members who were about to cooperate with her to capture Kallen.

"Captain Kallen, don't underestimate me..."

A faint black mist appeared around Eleanor, and then a strange pitch-black spear appeared in her hand. This weapon, which Karen had never seen before, immediately gave her a strong sense of crisis.

This weapon... I always feel that it is somewhat similar to Judas?

While Karen was thinking for a moment, Eleanor had already arrived in front of her with her weapon in an instant. The black fog that filled the entire basement seemed to make her movements faster.

Kallen was not paying attention and the white hair by her ear was cut off, and a shallow wound was also cut on her thigh.

My legs... hurt so much!

Kallen knelt on the ground, feeling that all the strength in her body had disappeared because of the wound. She raised her head and saw that Eleanor had raised her weapon.

This posture doesn't look like they want to capture Kallen alive!

"I won't let you get in the way of that adult..."

Eleanor swung down the spear without hesitation, and Karen closed her eyes resigned to her fate, but at that moment, the latter did not feel any pain.
