The world’s rejection and backlash

And when Rita takes Theresa, Luna and the others away,

After Kongming glanced at everyone present, she followed obediently to clean up her future residence, and Fu Hua also followed.

Kallen then told one of the purposes of her coming here,

"In the last communication, you mentioned that you obtained the stigmata that is very suitable for Durandal, right? "

Kallen ditches her usual playful tone, her expression turning serious. "I came here this time to see the effectiveness of the stigmata on S-class Valkyries."

If it is true that Durandal 's power will increase again, it will also be a big encouragement to Schicksal.

There is a flag flying over Schicksal that symbolizes victory in every battle. Both the Valkyrie's confidence and cohesion are very beneficial. It is the source of motivation for all Valkyrie to persevere in battle.

Just like Cecilia in the Second Honkai, as long as she is not defeated, the Valkyries can still be active on the battlefield with the belief that they will win.

Durandal worked very hard, Kallen knew that,

But the Honkai doesn't negotiate. To truly protect those we care about, we have to outmatch our enemy at every turn.

The future Herrscher's strength is a mystery, so the only option is to seize every opportunity to become more powerful.

The good news keeps rolling in! Cecilia wrote that besides her holy blood not fully recovering, she's already fighting at 80% of her peak strength.

This is fantastic and means a whole lot of 'retired' Valkyries who were struggling with Honkai energy overload might be able to bounce back. Whether they return to the frontlines is their call, but at least Schicksal made that recovery possible.

The artificial stigmata, which was almost stagnant, has also successively broken through several technical points.

The scientists of Schicksal and the anti-entropy data obtained from excavations of previous civilizations have finally made a breakthrough. The stigmata given by Luo Mo are of great reference and have eliminated some of the flaws. (now at least better than Otto artificial stigmata)

"Of course, Bishop Kallen," Luo Mo nodded, showing Kallen the respect she deserved.

After all, she'd given him the space to grow and every resource he could ask for. Luo Mo wanted a solid working relationship with Schicksal – no sense in being rivals when they were both fighting the same fight.

With Kallen and Durandal watching like hawks, he whipped out Bianca's stigmata from system space.

Chaotic colored light flows on a small card, and the changing and intersecting colors seem to embody the rules of the world's operation.

——Special(exclusive) stigmata, they called them, and for good reason – these things played by their own rules.

But even the special stigmata are different. Among them, Himeko's main focus is on recovery, while Mobius is an auxiliary summon.

But if we divide the strongest echelons, Bianca Stage and Elysia's Stigmata undoubtedly belong to this series.

As for the raven... Luo Mo glanced at the Gacha Banner and felt disgusted in his heart. It was still early to refresh, and he was also hesitating whether to refresh at his own expense.

From the rumors(his own opinion), it seemed that Raven's stigmata might have some niche use against those pesky [island] type enemies... maybe.

"Is this... the one?" Durandal stared at the swirling, dreamlike colors of the stigmata, a sense of awe washing over her.

She could practically feel it in her bones – this wasn't just powerful; it was a missing piece of herself.

Kallen eyed the stigmata warily as she carefully took it from Luo Mo. "This is seriously next-level stuff," she admitted, "I've never seen anything like it."

" Well——, I can feel that it fits me very well—— "

Durandal's eyes calmed down,

She pursues power, but the most important thing should never be power. A truly strong person will not be blinded by power.

" Of course it fits. Look carefully, isn't that you when you were a child? "

Luo Mo smiled and pointed at the faintly floating picture above.

It was Bianca who was holding a golden bayonet and standing confidently on the stage. She looked forward with a heroic look, and there were Rita and Otto in the corner next to her, but It's not easy to see clearly under the chaotic light.

"Huh? Me? Wow, you're right! But I don't remember this at all..." Durandal tilted her head, a sheepish smile spreading across her face.

"Wonder what kind of mischief I was up to back then..."

" Next, all you need to do is stick it to your back, " Luo Mo instructed.

As for the stigmata, he has no use for it, this stigmata is literally character locked items in games logic, so he should give it to the other party instead of collecting dust in the system storage, well besides adding chips to the his bag.

To be perfectly honest, he was starting to sweat about how powerful Schicksal was getting. With all this potential under his belt, there was no way he could just waltz off and set up his own kingdom, right?

Speaking of whether the power of the Far East branch was a bit too strong, he didn't know how the Herrscher from this far east demon cave would perform if he added Stigmata to them.

" Well! " A hint of joy flashed in Durandal's bright big eyes,

She always felt that her progress was getting slower and slower recently, and no matter how hard she worked out, she had little effect.

It's not that it's reached its limit, but it's a bottleneck.

But she couldn't break through the bottleneck for a while, and she became a little anxious.

" Ahem——, Durandal, you can put it on later, don't worry, "

Kallen helplessly looked at the powerful Durandal, who was ready to stick to her back on the spot. The other party was still a little impatient... However, thinking about her own performance when she was young, she didn't seem to have the right to criticize others.

"Uh, right. Sorry, Bishop," Durandal said, a sheepish blush creeping onto her cheeks.

" Well... Luo Mo, World Snake wants to negotiate with us. What do you think the other party's purpose is? "

After pondering for a moment, Kallen still asked him,

There is no shortage of think tanks in Schicksal, but they have obtained very little information about the World Snake.

Moreover, Kallen didn't want too many people to know about this matter.

that people in Golden Courtyard may know more, but they don't have much in-depth understanding of each other, which is also a problem.

The first thing that came to mind was Luo Mo. After carefully screening the candidates, only Rita and Durandal were suitable to talk to.

Oh, I feel a little uncomfortable for no reason. Bishop Schicksal's job is really troublesome ~

Cecilia's all better, yet has zero interest in actually helping.

It turns out that the three major families co-ruling the Schicksal has become a complete joke. Theresa only listens to her own words. There are many Schariac families among the Valkyries, such as... the Anna mentioned earlier.

Kallen 's eyes were deep as she listened to the other party's answer while thinking about her next move.

"World Snake? Kevin? Asking us for a negotiation?" Luo Mo's expression was a mix of disbelief and unease. He thought he knew Kevin well enough to rule out any talk of cooperation.

This was definitely unexpected.

And Elysia and the others only have the idea of protecting themselves and the safety of the people.

They sighed at what their comrades were carrying, but they were unable to share it.

" Hmm ~, the other party wants... to get back the Judgment of Shamash or... the Second divine key?"

Kallen looked embarrassed, thinking that the Judgment of Shamash mentioned by the other party made her feel uncomfortable.

Okay, so according to her trusty gaming knowledge, Kevin is the OG Kaslana, which means he technically has a claim to the Judgment of Shamash. Can't really argue with that.

"Here's the interesting part," she continued, a flicker of excitement in her eyes.

"They want to stay hidden until the very [Finality]. Then, if a Herrscher pops up, they offer to help capture it. Sounds good, except they want to keep the Herrscher's core."

That last bit raised some red flags – who really benefits from a deal like that? So she asked Luo Mo for his opinion.

" hiss-- "

The corner of Luo Mo's mouth twitched, this sounds really nice...

But in fact, the other party probably made a big move just before the [Finality]. This condition was... well, it was actually more sincere than the one with Otto.

The only thing he doesn't understand is, what does the other party want the Second Divine Key for?

So, he asked Kallen directly,

"Yes, 'I plan to visit an old friend so that I can move around more easily.' "

Kallen said hesitantly, thinking that she couldn't help but laugh at the other party's reasons.

'If Schicksal has no intention of using the Second Divine Key, she can naturally hand it over to the other party.'

After thinking for a moment, Luo Mo still nodded,

without him After no one causes trouble, it is actually good to earn more from Crystal. Without Otto, there seems to be no need for Schicksal to use the Second divine, right?

If it doesn't work, isn't there Sirin?

Wouldn't it be nice if the Queen worked hard?

It's so shameful that she can't even accurately teleport over long distances!

The research on the Key of Infinity seems to be just like that, Everything that should come out has come out.

If you can't come out, just ask Vill-V!

Although he wanted to say that Judgment of Shamash suicide weapon was of no use, but it was a symbol of the Kaslana family, and if it was handed over, it would have a bad impact on the Valkyries.

" I see, "

Seeing Kallen narrowing her eyes, she had something to say but didn't know how to talk about it.

Luo Mo guessed and replied, " If it is a question of the other party's credit, as the bearer of the previous civilization, his commitment is worthy of trust."

Unexpectedly, Kallen shook her head, indicating that this was not the case.

The character of the other party has been reflected in the game. Under the promise of his old friend Sakura, he still tried his best to satisfy her. There were also negotiations with Otto.

The other party has the same personality as Kaslana, straightforward. Or perhaps, the statement should be the other way around.

She pursed her lips and said, " Why is it before the [Finality]? What does the [Finality] mean? "

"I 've read through many classics, but none of them are clear. The meaning of the poem you mentioned at the beginning(before) is unclear."

If other Herrschers have at least hinted at their power in the poem Luo Mo said, they can freeze thousands of miles and silence everything; mess up people's sanity and make them unconscious...

And what was left in the [Finality] was nothing but a blank.

There are all kinds of miraculous scenes described in the vast file. When I was expecting how grand it would be in the [Finality], I saw only blanks and it came to an abrupt end.

Luo Mo opened his mouth, not knowing how to bring it up. He understood this situation very well.

After the [Finality], there will be no civilization.

How can we record everything that happened?

If he wanted to describe the [Finality], he was a little embarrassed. After all, this was not something he should consider now.

" My Lord Bishop... it is reincarnation after all... "

He wanted to continue speaking, but he didn't know how to describe it, so he paused.

Reincarnation? Reincarnation again?

Reincarnation? Like, starting the whole messy show over again? Kallen mulled over the idea. Suddenly, an image popped into her head: a blonde figure, hanging on a cross, surrounded by mourners, zealots, the whole nine yards.

That figure... is Otto——

But why on earth was she thinking about that person now?

[ Kallen... Live... ]

The words choked in her throat, her head suddenly throbbing like someone was playing the drums inside her skull.

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!——, Ughhh, " she groaned, clutching her temples.

It was like a mental fog had rolled in, keeping the truth just out of reach.

The harder she tried to think, the thicker it seemed to get.

"Great inventor? Otto? Reincarnation...time?" The words tumbled out of her mouth, almost as if her brain was desperately trying to make sense of the chaos.

A wave of cold sweat washed over her, and she curled up, trying to ride out the discomfort. Finally, when she stopped trying to force the memories, the pain began to subside.

" Grandma! " " Ms. Bishop! "

Hearing Kallen's voice, Theresa sprinted towards her, Rita close behind.

Durandal had also been supporting Kallen as soon as the incident began, looking at her anxiously and concernedly.

Durandal had no idea what happened just now, it was too sudden, and while they were chatting, the bishop held her head and cried out in pain.

Was this it? Had the herrscher of sentience finally taken over? Durandal's eyes darted around the room, scanning for any other sign of Honkai energy.

"Grandma–" Theresa was very anxious, She looked at Kallen with concern.

How could something happen after just a moment?

Rita's expression was icy, her eyes sweeping the room for any sign of trouble. No blood, no scuffle marks...her gaze settled on Luo Mo.

"Lord Luo Mo, what exactly happened here?" Her tone implied she was ready to pin the blame on him if a good reason didn't appear quickly.

Luo Mo was also confused and shook his head quickly. He didn't do anything!

You can't give him the title of assassinating a bishop, and besides, he doesn't seem to be able to defeat Kallen, well, that's even more impossible.

" Rita, Theresa, just help me go back and have a rest ~"

Kallen said weakly. She seemed to understand something. What she just said was different from obstacles... more like punishment.

——A punishment for knowing stuff you shouldn't.

Which was funny, because those punishments still happened, no matter how much you forgot.

Meanwhile, Luo Mo over there knew practically everything from start to 'Finality', while she was still stumbling around in the dark.

The whole situation was starting to make her head spin again.

"No, this has nothing to do with Luo Mo. I...I was just remembering an old friend." Kallen gave Durandal a small smile.

"Speaking of, shouldn't you be back in your room, absorbing that new stigmata? Go on, now."

Once Durandal was out of earshot, Kallen leaned heavily on Rita and Theresa as they walked towards her room.

Stigma?

Theresa is a little strange, is she the same as Himeko ? Then the gap between her and her niece is getting wider and wider!

I'm sorry to say that a few times when I was stalking Himeko, I found that I couldn't pull her away.

Originally, my strength must be greater than Himeko's.

So, under her own ' questioning ', Himeko laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and then she told her intermittently that it was after she obtained the stigmata.

Sigh. Why doesn't she get one? She's got Herrschers, stigmata wielders... the pressure's gotta be intense.

Hey, Luo Mo! You live in my house, eat my food... how about paying a little rent for once, hmm? Maybe with some of that Stigma of yours?

...

" oh? "

"A sudden backlash, you say? Seems our dear Bishop has stumbled upon some forbidden knowledge." Kongming and Luo Mo stood in front of the Golden Courtyard, listening to each other talk about the situation just now.

Kongming Shaking the feather fan inadvertently makes her feel like a wise strategist.

" Yes, Bishop Kallen must have remembered someone's words, "

Luo Mo actually knew it. After all, he was the one who could write about Otto and Kallen's journey to another world novel in the first place.

When asked about the great inventor, the natural guessed was… Otto.

"The world doesn't let her remember... much like how I could only watch her back then," Kongming said, a wistful note in her voice despite her smile.

"Uh, your situation wasn't quite so tragic." Luo Mo couldn't resist a small Complain, then knocked on the door.

"Besides, if someone's not resisting, then the whole 'forbidden knowledge' thing isn't really an issue, now is it?" Kongming whispered,

Fu Hua behind them remained silent, just quietly listening to the conversation between the two people in front of her.

" Oh? Who is here? The lovely Elf lady is here to open the door ~ ♪ "

The brisk voice of the girl inside the door seemed to soothe everyone's sadness and troubles.
