"Excuse me, Your Excellency the Bishop. Your plan is... ridiculous. Regardless of whether your plan succeeds or not, the losses it will bring are unbearable. We cannot lose you. Humanity cannot lose you!"
Compared to Einstein next to her, her personality is more emotional, and so what she says is also more emotional.
Otto did not feel any commendable emotion about the refutation of his plan.
She was still smiling, and there was an indelible kindness in her smile.
Seeing that Einstein was not going to speak for the time being, Otto then spoke to Tesla:
"If humans can't fight the Honkai just because we lose me, then it shows that humans are not qualified to fight the Honkai.
"Do you know why I am the Bishop of Destiny? It's not just because of my personal ability. The most important thing is that I have the courage and awareness to bear the name of 'Bishop' and stand in front of all mankind and directly fight against Honkai.
"Food, longevity potion, elixir of immortality, artificial stigmata, anti-Houkai serum, Valkyrie armor... I have used them many times over the years. Can you let me use them one last time?"
This speech is very long and the tone is leisurely. It sounds like an explanation or guidance and is very contagious.
But this was not enough to convince Tesla and Einstein.
Seeing this, Otto still smiled, but this smile had a bit more gentleness and vigor that did not belong to her.
The sunlight shone through the window onto her white and gold bishop's robe, revealing her idealistic look and also reflecting someone's appearance:
"When a brave man is angry, he draws his sword against the stronger; when a coward is angry, he draws his sword against the weaker.
"But I am different. I want to try to draw my sword and fight against that fate. Lord Tesla, Lord Ain, I ask you, are you willing to hold this sword with me?"
The bright moon and gentle breeze are equally beautiful.
"..." Tesla and Einstein looked at Otto silently, frowning and speechless. They looked at each other and finally showed each other a smile that was uglier than crying.
From the day they discovered the secret of their bishop, they could not escape today's invitation.
At least, we should help the bishop share some of the burden.
[Tesla and Einstein ultimately failed to reject the bishop’s invitation, just as the bishop failed to reject you.]
[This is where the final experiment begins.]
[Messiah knew the Bishop's plan from beginning to end, and naturally knew about this experiment, and she could not refuse the Bishop.]
【The Messiah would have been a perfect replacement for Tesla and Einstein.】
[But the bishop still couldn't bear to do this. ]
[The bishop had deeply experienced the pain of being forced to "cut" her loved ones many years ago. If possible, she did not want the Messiah to suffer this pain again.]
【...】
[The experiment is very painful. How can it be easy for a mortal to cut off the soul? ]
[But the bishop always smiled, a smile that came from the heart, a smile of pride and honor.]
[It’s because she can now fully understand the pain you once endured and empathize with you. ]
[After five hundred years, she can finally stand by your side again, walk the same path with you, and bathe in the same light. ]
【...】
【520th year of the Luminous Era.】
【Bishop Wuxia's plan succeeded.】
[The bishop who usurped the throne of God as a mortal successfully found a way to make the collapse harmless and controllable. 】
[The Honkai that had been harming humanity for countless years had its spiked coat peeled off, and it embraced humanity tightly. 】
【The world has never been so bright. 】
[In the same year, the bishop accidentally found the key to eternal calamity, One Thousand Worlds.]
[She observed countless worlds, but only found you. ]
[Perhaps... this is the answer she has spent five hundred years to get.]
Destiny headquarters, floating island.
Otto, who resigned as bishop in order to support the Messiah, stood on the edge of the floating island and looked at the rolling sea of clouds, with Tesla and Einstein behind him.
"Lord Tesla, Lord Aiyin, I am leaving. I hope that you two loyal ministers can do your best to support the new bishop." She said suddenly while basking in the warm sun.
Kallen had already started her journey ahead of her, and she couldn't be left too far behind.
After hearing what Otto said, Tesla and Einstein looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's beautiful eyes.
They originally thought that their bishop was just tired and wanted to take a break, but now it seems that it is not that simple?
Tesla opened his cherry lips slightly and asked doubtfully:
"Your Excellency, where are you going?"
Hearing this, Otto turned around and looked at Tesla and Einstein.
She was smiling, but not as gently as before. Instead, there was a sense of relief - just like a wanderer who had finally found the way home.
"Go and look for the next life." said a person who never believed in superstition.
As soon as he finished speaking, Otto's platinum figure turned into dots of fluorescent light and dispersed under the bright sky.
Only a slightly playful sentence remained in the air:
"Lord Tesla, I will immediately appoint you as the Executive Vice Bishop of Tianming, and you will work with the new bishop to manage world affairs."
"...Huh?!!!" Tesla's expression, which had already become somewhat dazed due to the disappearance of his own bishop, became even more stunned.
She, she came to be the Archdeacon of Heaven? !
This, this, is this okay?
Before the girl could recover from her shock, her companion gently put his arms around her waist from behind, rested his smooth white chin on her shoulder, and said in a sweet voice:
"I hope the 'bishop' will curb his selfish desires and stop bullying the people."
Hearing Einstein's calm tone, Tesla's originally shocked mood suddenly eased.
Suddenly, she reached out and grasped the other person's tender white wrist to prevent him from escaping.
"Huh!?" Now it was Einstein's turn to be shocked.
After confirming that Einstein could no longer escape, Tesla said word by word:
"Chicken Coop Head, in the name of the Executive Auxiliary Bishop of the Mandate of Heaven, I hereby appoint you as the Executive Secretary General of the Executive Auxiliary Bishop of the Mandate of Heaven. Get to work!"
"...?!"
How much work is that!!!???
-----------------
[The sea of stars is far away, the world is complicated, but someone is moving forward regardless of anything for you. 】
In the pure white space, Lu Mian stared blankly at the warm words that were equivalent to "The End of the Play", but he chuckled, "System, does this mean that I may still be able to see Otto and Kallen again?"
The system did not answer this, but was very anxious:
"Host, according to this system, you can't let them find you!"
Hearing this, Lu Mian subconsciously stretched his neck.
"Huh, they have become yanderes now and want to cut me into pieces?" He asked anxiously following the system.
"Uh...not really." The system replied.
Lu Mian asked again, "Will they lock me up in a dark basement and pry all the secrets out of me?"
"Although they won't be that cruel, they will definitely sandwich you in the middle and applaud you, the host, and then train you into a useless person who can easily succeed by relying on them!"
The system gave her own opinion.
"There is such a thing?!" Lu Mian's face inevitably darkened, but then he showed an extremely sunny and cheerful smile, "This kind of thing is also, it's really great, right?"
"what?"
"System, think about it, if I had the stature of a great emperor, I could easily dominate the heavens and the world, pick up the sun, moon and stars with my hands, and blast all the enemies standing on the opposite side to pieces with just a lift, and then take you through a journey that we both think is wonderful, wouldn't that be great?"
"Okay, it seems pretty good... No, that's not right. Host, you've done everything, so what else do you want me to do?!"
"I'll support you."
"..."
【?(????ω????)?】
The sinful man didn't know what he had done. He only knew that he was blinded by a large number of system rewards and points.
[Although it gave a good start to the lives of two people, it indirectly or directly led to the birth of the Immaculate Bishop and the Saint. ]
【But you still died too early. 】
[Points issued: 500.]
[A reward of a snow globe will be given.]
【A reward of a golden cube will be given.】
[A reward of one shot of special medicine will be given.]
[Snow Globe (The holder is immune to Honkai energy erosion to a certain extent)]
[The crystal clear sphere contains a distant snow-covered wall and the determination of a certain wanderer. ]
【Void Ten Thousand Treasures (Moving one's body like one's arm moving one's fingers)】
[This item comes directly from the simulation system itself. It does not affect any other world. Only those who have merged with it can activate it.]
[Black Death Special Medicine (can curb the erosion of Honkai to a certain extent)]
[The injection contains achievements and pain, and is the predecessor of the anti-Houkai serum.]
Lu Mian was bombarded with this series of information and inexplicably felt a strange sense of detachment.
He subconsciously opened the system storage space, but saw only three things quietly displayed in it.
Everything else he had tried to bring out of the simulation had vanished without a trace.
As expected, things in the simulation cannot be brought out.
Lu Mian looked at the injection that seemed to be able to save his life, but his brows were furrowed.
Is the problem really just the collapse and erosion?
Things don't seem that simple...
Chapter 43 A Wonderful Beginning
"Great, host. The Snow Globe can provide you with resistance to Honkai energy, and the Void Ten Thousand Treasures can directly provide you with combat power.
"Most importantly, we got the potion that can stop the erosion of Honkai. Now all problems are solved~"
What came to my ears was the sweet and energetic voice of the system.
You can tell that she is really happy.
But Lu Mian was not infected by the cheerful atmosphere. He stroked his smooth chin and said suddenly:
"System, send me medicine that can treat human injuries and diseases."
"Huh? Ouch."
As the system responded with a hint of doubt, items in the system mall were pushed in front of Lu Mian one by one.
Lu Mian picked out the cheapest and most effective ones, and then one by one eliminated those that did not meet his requirements.
Too expensive - don't buy it.
It doesn’t work well enough – don’t.
After careful selection, only one thing remained:
[Primary healing potion (can treat most internal and external injuries of the human body)]
[The classic little red bottle, the life energy contained in it can easily bring a dying person back to life. ]
And its price is a bright red "520".
