Chapter 43: Betrayal!!!

[Under the influence of the "Herrscher Killer," Welt and Sirin's powers are greatly suppressed.]

[Otto used the "Judah's Oath" to control Bella, increasing his dominance over the Herrscher.]

[Otto used the "Holy Blood of Schariac," further increasing his dominance over the Herrscher.]

[Otto took away Welt's Herrscher Core, severely injuring Welt.]

[Otto knocked out Sirin, preparing to take her away for research.]

[Your sister is hurt, and you are furious.]

[You promised to protect her.]

At this moment, the golden talent "A Promise Worth a Thousand in Gold" leaped out of the simulator panel's text, shining with a dazzling golden light. Chase once again refreshed his understanding of this talent.

He saw "A Promise Worth a Thousand in Gold" shake a few times, and then he heard a voice he had never heard before in his ears.

"You have established a connection with an unknown presence."

"You promised to protect her."

I know, but now I can't do anything.

As if receiving Chase's thoughts, the other side seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then cheerful laughter followed.

"I understand."

"So, Chase, you better write your story well."

[Connection terminated.]

Chase was puzzled. What does "write your story well" mean?

But in the next moment, the golden talent "A Promise Worth a Thousand in Gold" began to flicker wildly, illuminating Chase's entire field of vision.

The dazzling golden light plunged the simulator panel into a golden blank. Chase involuntarily closed his eyes, only to realize that he couldn't escape this light.

The light came from the simulator itself, stealing Chase's vision.

When his vision returned, Chase woke up, finding himself in a pure white space.

[A Promise Worth a Thousand in Gold (Gold): You value the promises you make, sometimes placing them above your own life. You won't break a promise unless you fall.]

[Note 1: An unknown presence has established contact with you.]

[Note 2: Write your story well and then protect her.]

In the pure white space, Chase could only see endless white. He instinctively groped forward.

Finally, as if crossing a door, the scenery began to change.

There was a throne, and someone sat on it, their appearance unclear. Sitting on the throne, legs crossed, left hand on the armrest, supporting their head, they smiled at Chase.

"Will of Honkai." This term automatically popped into Chase's mind.

Approaching them, their face became clearer.

It was himself...

They reached out their right hand to Chase, a purple light flew to Chase's side, circled twice, and then directly entered Chase's body, disappearing.

Chase felt a moment of trance, and they seemed to be smiling.

But what were they smiling at?

As Chase was about to leave this white space, a sentence appeared in his mind.

It wasn't displayed by the simulator but abruptly appeared in his mind.

"You promised to protect her."

Chase's eyes cleared, and an invisible change occurred within him.

"Given the crown by the gods, wielding thunder as a bow and arrow, shattering all things, the conquering king."

The third Herrscher—Herrscher of Thunder, awakened prematurely for unknown reasons.

Noticing Otto's return of Judgement, Chase immediately used the authority of thunder, manipulating electrical signals to contact Otto's soulium body.

With the mad assistance of the purple talent "Hacker," Chase successfully infiltrated Otto's soulium body almost instantly and began his operation.

...

Theresa watched Otto, who was talking nonsense and behaving strangely, feeling a chill running down her spine.

But the tone of his speech...

Could the person in front of her now be Chase?

As this thought occurred, she was struck by lightning, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the spot where Chase had fallen.

She was stunned. Chase, who was supposed to be on the verge of death, stood up like nothing had happened, mimicking Otto's actions of adjusting his facial expression.

Chase noticed Theresa's gaze and smiled.

"What's wrong? x2"

"Surprised to see me unharmed? x2"

The same words came from both Otto and Chase's mouths simultaneously, making Theresa uncomfortable.

Weird, too weird!

Grandpa's soulium body was directly confronted by someone!

This kind of thing... impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Not to mention that there were no electronic devices around Chase, and he had no opportunity to directly contact Grandpa. Just wanting to face Grandpa, who was controlling the soulium body, was an impossible task.

With a sense of astonishment and disbelief, Theresa's voice trembled:

"Chase... How did you... How did you do it?"

"Is it that difficult?" Chase asked back, then raised the corners of his mouth, "Want to know? x2"

Theresa nodded.

"Not telling you~" Chase's smile blossomed, cheerful like a sunny boy. "Theresa, you even hesitate to call me dad, so consider this a punishment."

Theresa couldn't hold back her anger, grabbed Judah beside her, and was about to erupt. But she only saw golden feathers flash before her eyes, and then her consciousness fell into a daze, passing out.

Chase looked at the golden block-like object in his hand and found it somewhat amusing.

"Void archive, unexpectedly so powerful. This is Otto's granddaughter."

[Don't forget your promise.]

Chase smiled, "Rest assured, after everything is done, I'll return your freedom."

Then, Chase took the Black Abyss White Flower simulated by Void Archives, he approached Sirin and Bella, waking them up. He then went to Welt, reinserted the Herrscher Core, and used the white flower to heal him.

Welt woke up, looking at Chase with a smile, not quite understanding the current situation.

"Although there were some twists and turns, the result is not bad, Mr. Welt." Chase smiled, pulling Welt up from the ground. He then looked at Sirin and Bella eagerly watching him on the side, finding it amusing.

"Xilin, you're stupid! You can still be killed in two against one, don't you know how to play?"

"Bella, not bad this time!"

Sirin's face turned sullen, while Bella was overjoyed.

Sirin, who had originally planned a 500-word script for the reunion of the siblings, had now lost all the emotions she had carefully prepared.

All gone!

Sirin looked at Bella, who was running towards Chase for a reward, with an unfriendly expression.

This family member, maybe it's better to throw her away.
