Using the coordinates precisely calculated by Dr. Tesla and others, the Star of Eden rushed into the sky and accurately shot toward the Honkai energy fission bomb.
Joyce and Reanna, who were monitoring all this from a relatively safe distance, were concentrating on watching everything in front of them, waiting for the best time to strike.
For ordinary people, the extreme speed that makes it impossible to see the trace is still enough to seize the opportunity in the eyes of the strongest Valkyrie and the first Herrscher of Schicksal.
At the moment when the Star of Eden was about to collide with the Honkai fission bomb, Joyce suddenly stretched out his hand and activated the Star of Eden with all his strength:
"Eden's Star, Zeroth rated power, simulated black hole!"
In an instant, darkness that could swallow even the light appeared in the sky, but for the people on the ground, this was not a color of despair, but a symbol of hope.
There was no sound, no aftermath, and the Honkai energy fission bomb that was targeting the city was easily swallowed by the simulated black hole and failed to exert any effect.
Otto's last trump card was swallowed into nothingness.
"I...we succeeded!"
Dr. Tesla on the ground hugged Dr. Einstein and shouted with joy.
Dr. Einstein, who was always calm and composed, also rarely showed a relieved smile.
Within one day, they resolved two crises that could have destroyed the city and completely protected the city.
In the sky, Reanna slowly descended with Joyce. Perhaps because he had activated the zeroth-rated power of two Divine Keys in succession, his expression was not good at the moment.
Even for the First Herrscher, this level of power expenditure is difficult to bear.
Dr. Tesla rushed forward and was about to say something celebratory.
But at this moment, everything around came to a standstill.
Except for Kirataka, everyone else's body became motionless and was fixed in place.
Immediately afterward, the space in front of Kirataka's eyes distorted slightly, and a blond man appeared in front of him out of thin air.
Otto Apocalypse.
——And, it's not the Otto in 1955 in this fictional historical scene, but the real one.
Kirataka understood.
"You sneaked into my back garden, but it made me a little angry, Kirataka-kun"
The man in front of him said in a frivolous tone.
"...Didn't you open the door here to me?"
Kirataka stood up and looked coldly at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
He raised his hand and shot out a stream of electricity, but it just passed through the body of the man in front of him and had no effect.
The man in front of me is probably just a projection.
"Yes, I did choose this historical record specifically for you... How does it feel to follow the heroes of history in fighting against evil?"
Otto asked.
He is not shy about casting Joyce as a hero, nor is he afraid to compare himself to evil.
"He... No, they are all great."
"Yes, Nancy Thomas Alva Edison... She is indeed a genius. If she can successfully complete the research and development of the Moonlight Throne, the history of mankind's fight against the Honkai will be greatly rewritten, right?
"Welt Joyce... the first Herrscher who fought for humanity. If he can survive, maybe new Herrschers who appear in the future will stand on the side of humanity, right?"
Otto carefully narrated the future that did not exist.
But in the end, he said in a casual tone:
"But what does this have to do with me and my Kallen?"
The power of [Moonlight Throne] is indeed quite great. It can effectively utilize Honkai energy in various fields and completely solve the troubles brought by Honkai for mankind.
But on the other hand, this invention will undoubtedly shake the solid foundation of Schicksal's rule.
It was indeed something worthy of praise that the First Herrscher chose to fight for humanity. Through three years of correspondence, Otto had long understood that he possessed a soul as noble as that of Saint Kallen... no, even nobler than hers.
But he would rather Joyce become a dead man who can do nothing than a difficult Herrscher who might go against him.
"I never care what this world becomes after it collapses."
He never cared about what the world would become. All he wanted to do was to "revive Kallen."
Ruling the Schicksal is merely a necessary step to accomplish this goal.
Fighting against Honkai is just to ensure that the Herrscher can be captured as soon as possible.
"…So, in this way, you wiped out all the people and things that had the potential to shake the ruling position of the Schicksal over the long five hundred years."
Kirataka said in a low voice.
The Anti-Entropy crowd and Siegfried Kaslana are definitely not the only two examples.
During the long 500-year history of Otto's rule, he must have strangled countless "threats" in the cradle with his own hands.
A total...dictator.
Kirataka sighed and said:
"I really hate you."
"I feel the same way about this."
Otto smiled and nodded, and continued:
"Through this observation, I am convinced that you are the type of person who cannot be controlled by me."
He is not a demon king who stays in the castle and waits for the brave to challenge him, so he will naturally eliminate the threat at the source.
The best option is naturally to kill Kirataka while he is still weak enough.
"I don't like things and people that are beyond my control, so...just die here."
Otto reached out and tapped a few keys on the virtual panel next to him.
Instantly, countless lights appeared in the sky. They were multiple Honkai energy fission bombs, just like the missiles they had just destroyed together.
After all, it is a virtual world constructed in the database, where Otto, who has all the authority, is an omnipotent god.
"You no longer have the ability to exit this virtual scene, and if you die here... your spirit will be annihilated as well."
Otto said with a low laugh.
Using the authority of the Bishop of Schicksal, he completely blocked Kirataka's ability to exit this virtual space.
When the spirit dies in the virtual space, it is equivalent to becoming a vegetable.
Afterward, Theresa just had to explain it away as an accident or something like that.
He thought that this was a perfect arrangement, and no matter what skills Kirataka had not yet used, he could eliminate them 100%.
"As one of my few acts of mercy, I will especially allow you to... say goodbye to the false First Herrscher before you die."
