"I just don't understand how our petty squabbles could disturb someone as powerful as you?"
"So you've finished?"
The girl looked him up and down, a smile playing on her lips.
Indeed, Otto was somewhat surprised by Xingyue's arrival, but it was still part of his plan. To avoid this situation, he had already done everything else before drawing hatred.
"That's right~"
"I am now neither a Herrscher nor a human, but an being standing above both—that is, God~"
Otto proudly raised his arms, deliberately striking a smug pose.
He couldn't wait for the other party to attack him. Even without the power of the Herrscher of the Void, he believed that the power released by a single planetary Honkai Beast would be enough to get him to that point.
"With your current half-baked skills, do you even deserve to be called a god?"
Xingyue sneered, seeing right through Otto's current state.
Chapter 110: Don't you like extravagant funerals? Otto
"That's really... nothing can be hidden from you!"
Otto's smile was somewhat bitter.
"Now that you know everything, can I happily assume that you, as Archbishop of Schicksal and friend of Otto Apocalypse, have come here to help me achieve that?"
No, that's not right.
The girl with the frizzy hair wore a cruel smile.
She clenched her fists, and an aura as deep as an abyss swept across the entire church. Even Otto, who had already obtained the power of a false god, felt a tightness and oppression in his chest at this moment.
"I'm here to kill you."
Upon hearing this, Otto's expression became more solemn than ever before, and he opened his arms and shouted at the ceiling.
Inside the entire church, a dazzling golden light rose, counteracting the aura of the blue abyss.
Otto himself donned a black mask and donned armor of the same color, with six wings sprouting from his back and a golden disc floating behind him.
Even though he had become a pseudo-god, Otto did not dare to be careless. He carefully observed every possible move his opponent might make, his brain working rapidly, trying to come up with a way to make his opponent make a move to achieve that effect.
After all, if it were Kiana and the others, they could simply unleash a whole ocean, but against Xingyue, who hadn't used her full strength from beginning to end, holding back would really be risky.
"This power belongs neither to the Herrschers nor to humans."
"When I gained this power, I was surprised by its strength."
Otto placed a row of shields made of metal in the shape of golden petals in front of him.
"Although the current situation has changed somewhat from what I expected, you are the first person to taste the power of this false god."
Seeing the solid shield blocking her way, Xingyue's fighting spirit was completely ignited at that moment.
The false god Otto, if he were to unleash his full power, would almost rival the End Kevin.
This can be described as the most powerful enemy Xingyue has encountered since coming to this world.
She immediately stopped suppressing the energy of her body.
At this moment, the concept of time no longer has any meaning.
When Otto realized what was happening, he looked down and saw the girl's fist penetrating deep into his abdomen, as if the outer layer of the false god's defense was just for show.
Otto felt a sweet taste in his throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
However, the girl's attack did not stop.
Her blue eyes flashed, and she let out a loud shout.
"Blazing Crimson Lotus~"
As soon as the words fell, Otto's stomach suddenly swelled several times its normal size, and his contorted facial features showed that he had suffered considerable damage.
Then, Otto was engulfed in dark red flames, and Xingyue pulled out her blood-free fist, put her hands into the pockets of her snow-white coat, and walked away in the opposite direction without looking back.
A few seconds later, a loud explosion rang out in the church.
Through the smoke, a man clutched his stomach and staggered to his feet.
"Wait, I'm not dead yet, Miss Xingyue!"
A hint of indescribable joy flickered across his disheveled face.
Just now, I was so close to reaching the point where I could transcend the laws of imaginary numbers.
If he just puts in a little more effort and provokes the other person a bit more...
"This level of power wouldn't kill me, a false god. Could it be that Miss Xingyue's power is only this level?"
"Forgive my bluntness, but for a false god, this is no different from tickling an itch."
The haired girl, with her back to him, suddenly burst into laughter after a two-second silence.
The abyss within her body expanded rapidly, and in the instant she turned around, she clenched her fists together.
Countless bright red fireballs fell from the sky, exploding with a bang the moment they touched the ground, scattering colors like lava.
Even though they are as dense as raindrops, their power is astonishing.
However, this is not over yet.
As more and more flames fell, their power increased, and the temperature of the later flames rose at an alarming rate, exponentially.
The light emanating from this battleground was even brighter than during the day.
From the center of destiny, large swathes of water vapor silently rose outwards from various places.
A Valkyrie of destiny turned on the water pipe, only to find that not a single drop of water came out.
Above the sky, on the deck of the approaching warship, Dr. Einstein touched her chapped lips. She turned around and looked at the beverage cup that had just been placed on the table. It should have been full of drinks, but now it was empty.
Not only her, but everyone who came out of the cabin complained that their skin seemed much drier and their throats were very thirsty.
"not good!"
Upon seeing this, both doctors' pupils contracted simultaneously.
It was at this moment that the warship suddenly lurched violently, then lost all power and plummeted heavily to the ground.
Although the warship is primarily powered by Honkai energy, its operation still requires water due to overheating considerations. Even if it didn't need water, it would still require certain liquids during operation. But now, all the liquids seemed to be leaking away at an alarming rate.
Kiana was the first to react. She jumped to the bottom of the spaceship and unleashed the power of the Herrscher of the Void.
The warship passed through the black wormhole and finally landed safely.
Upon landing, Dr. Einstein immediately produced a small, barely functional device and contacted the anti-entropy satellite.
The next moment, her expression became more interesting than ever before.
“With a point not far from where we are, the moisture in all of Europe is gradually being lost, and this situation is continuing to spread outward.”
"If this continues..."
Ein swallowed hard and voiced his speculation.
"I'm afraid the entire Earth will be destroyed little by little."
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed in unison and looked in the direction where the Valkyries were stationed.
Under this bombardment, which transcends the laws of this realm, the temperature in the very center has risen to an astonishing ten million degrees Celsius.
That's right, it's comparable to the temperature at the core of the sun. The so-called "heat law" is nothing compared to Mars under such high temperatures.
Otto endured unimaginable burning pain, especially since the characteristics of the false god made him practically immortal.
If it weren't for his unwavering perseverance in enduring five hundred years for his sole purpose, he would probably have already suffered a mental breakdown.
Even so, he still couldn't grasp the reality of breaking through the imaginary number boundary.
It was as if the other party was intentionally manipulating the force, deliberately toying with him.
Just as the attack was about to spread beyond Europe, the girl finally stopped.
Xingyue, facing Otto who looked pained, revealed a cruel smile.
"Don't you like lavish funerals, Otto Apocalypse?" Chapter 111: Otto's Curtain Falls.
As the temperature gradually began to drop, Otto's complexion improved slightly.
Despite enduring torment that would break an ordinary person, the light in the man's blue eyes remains as bright as ever.
"I see……"
Star Moon's arms were enveloped in flames as bright as the sun as she walked step by step toward the false god.
The scattered sparks along the way left countless tiny holes on the ground.
The false god clearly had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to die; his body, suspended in the air, moved back and forth at an extremely fast speed.
The shields blocking the Honkai Beasts are becoming increasingly dense, reaching the critical value of the false god's power.
Seeing the pseudo-god shield so close at hand, Xingyue snorted coldly, exerted force with her feet, and suddenly swung her fist forward.
The next moment, these shields were as fragile as paper and were easily pierced.
In the blink of an eye, the Herrscher of the Sea reappeared in front of Otto, easily melting the false god's so-called armor, and punched Otto in the chest.
Suddenly, the crackling sound of roasting pork coming off a wok came from the man's chest.
Even this Archbishop of Destiny could not stop his facial features from contorting in pain.
"I see. Your actions are already unforgivable."
"But your persistence is commendable!"
Xingyue pulled out her hand, which was wrapped in an extremely hot cloth, and smiled with a hint of mockery.
Otto's wings had turned pure white at some point, and he had already activated them after adapting to the power of the false god. But now, it seemed that his situation was no different from when he first started.
He clutched the hole in his chest, from which wisps of white smoke were still rising, and he felt a dull ache.
Looking again at the haired girl who had temporarily stopped, he felt an immense sense of unease.
Although he can't be killed, it doesn't mean he won't get hurt or feel pain.
Even with his strong willpower, being continuously damaged by an attack that could kill countless S-class Valkyries in one hit would eventually reach its limit.
If he was truly tormented to the point of mental breakdown, how could he possibly approach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?
Even more terrifying, he discovered that the girl who had just unleashed such immense power, enough to destroy Earth's ecosystem, was now only breathing heavily a few times.
This made him suspect that the other party had even stronger abilities that they hadn't used.
"We can only try our best to save the situation."
With the idea of stalling for time and taking a break, Otto clasped his hands together and faced the sky.
A vast expanse of golden light shone down from the clouds, purifying everything around it.
A mechanism resembling a combination of gears and rings appeared in the air and slowly descended towards the ground, dissipating all the Honkai energy remaining in the air wherever it passed.
On the main road, the group, having learned the general situation, approached the battleground.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Theresa looked up at the sky.
"This, this is... the power of constraint?"
"Oh no! Everyone, step back quickly! We absolutely cannot get any of that on us!"
Theresa stretched out her arm to block the person who came later, and then shouted sternly.
Kiana and the other two nodded to each other, as they too had sensed the threat emanating from the composite of those rings and gears.
That's something that anyone associated with Honkai should absolutely not touch.
Of course, there is one exception.
After everyone temporarily withdrew, Theresa turned her gaze toward the center of the battle and then sighed helplessly for the Bishop of Destiny.
In the heart of the battle, Xingyue looked up at the power of restraint, then glanced down at the faint smile on Otto's face.
"Otto, is this the thing you're planning to use against me?"
