Chapter 16: Otto: High Blood Pressure

I, as a Herrscher, was born into this world.

In the past, I didn't contemplate; in my mind, there were only two thoughts:

Devote myself to Her Majesty the Queen and eradicate all humans.

In that battle, I suffered wounds that couldn't heal...

Exerting my last strength, I engaged the enemy, buying time for Her Majesty the Queen to escape...

I originally thought my life would end there.

As consciousness was fading away, Her Majesty the Queen stroked me.

In the final moment, I felt Her Majesty the Queen looking at me. Was she crying?

...But why?

Beneath the exterior of the Honkai Beast, Benares didn't understand human emotions.

Across the laboratory, a girl lying on the ground slowly opened her eyes.

She had long gray hair, sky-blue pupils, and feather-like decorations on her head, similar to Sirin.

The girl opened her eyes and saw the Queen she had sworn allegiance to for life.

"!"

"I... am still alive?"

Bella couldn't believe it as she sat up from the ground, staring dumbfoundedly at the Queen in front of her.

At this moment, Sirin was also looking at Bella. A smile graced her lips, giving the impression that she was in a very cheerful mood.

Bella understood.

The Queen had given me a new body, a new life.

She expended her strength to heal my injuries.

She even created a pseudo-Stigmata core for me.

With the power of the core, I gained a human body and human thinking ability.

At this moment, Her Majesty the Queen was looking at me with a smiling face, saying, "Bella! Just call yourself Bella from now on."

"You will stay by my side forever~"

Bella felt that Sirin was radiant at this moment.

...…

Things have settled, and after Sirin caused such a disturbance, Babylon Tower is now completely scrapped.

Bella has no issues now, and Sirin initially thought about leaving like this.

But she seemed to suddenly remember something, stopping abruptly and coming to the place where Bella had stayed before.

There, Sirin saw many pairs of eyes filled with the same despair she had once experienced.

Hands with needle marks reached out from cages. In the eyes of these frightened children, emotions of despair and hope filled the contradiction in their gazes.

They were all children who had left their parents early, or rather lost their parents, sent to the Tower. The Tower had no candy, no family, only cold cells, and indifferent hearts.

They had hoped for miracles to happen, but all hopes had turned into despair, and the increasingly cruel human experiments continued to torment their body and mind.

Sirin looked at them, as if recalling her past, also like them, desperate, helpless...

Sirin stopped and said to Bella, "Release them, Bella."

...…

At this point, at the headquarters of the Schicksal.

Amber hurriedly entered Otto's office, holding a stack of documents.

"Bishop, Herrscher has appeared!"

"At what location?"

"Babylon Laboratory. The Herrscher absorbed the Honkai energy there and released the experimental subjects. Currently, all 322 researchers in Babylon Laboratory are missing."

After hearing this, Otto frowned slightly.

"Where is the Valkyrie responsible for guarding?"

"All of them are missing as well."

After the successful escape of Chase from Babylon Laboratory, Otto decided to add a group of C-rank Valkyries to the Tower to prevent a similar situation from happening again.

Ordinary humans often appear inadequate when facing the overwhelming power of Honkai. And with the 6500HW Honkai energy reactor in Babylon Laboratory, it could produce several Herrschers. Now, having a Herrscher absorb it, it was hard to imagine how much the Second Herrscher had grown.

But it was also good. In his plan, a fully awakened Herrscher was a necessary component.

Now, it was time to test the power of the Second Herrscher...

However, the Second Herrscher's decision to save those experimental subjects was somewhat intriguing.

Another Herrscher with human qualities?

Suddenly, Otto felt a pain in his cheek, and his mood became somewhat inexplicably irritable.

What she did in the Tower was more like a child seeking revenge than destroying civilization.

That was quite interesting.

"After the disturbance caused by the Second Herrscher, almost all the equipment in Babylon Laboratory is paralyzed, and the tangible research results have been looted," Amber said, shaking her head,

"Now Babylon Laboratory is completely scrapped. Repairing it will take a long time, especially since the crucial Honkai energy reactor is already scrapped."

Otto's face also revealed some discomfort; he decided to retract his assessment of the Second Herrscher as a child.

This was not a child; it was an army storming a village.

After thinking for a moment, Otto decided to make a tentative contact with the Second Herrscher.

"Amber, inform Siegfried that his vacation is over."

"Theresa's injury is also healed; let her go too." Otto said, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "She nags me all day long."

Really, what's wrong with what I said? Sacrificing the interests of a small number of people to save the majority is a fair exchange.

Otto didn't understand why Theresa was so entangled in such a trivial matter.

She even told Cecilia about it, causing Cecilia to come and ask me.

The Archbishop of the Schicksal is very busy; there is no time to play house with them over such trivial matters.

After thinking about it, Otto continued:

"Notify Theresa and let her bring my old friend over."

Amber acknowledged the order and walked out of the office.

Otto took a sip of red wine and pondered.

Go play "Kallen Fantasy."

One minute later...

Otto looked at the screen with a grim expression.

"NO.1: Cecilia"

"NO.2: Teriri"

"NO.3: OTTO"
