One hundred and ninety-eight.
This was the number of Soulium bodies Otto had prepared. Each body had a power comparable to an S-rank Valkyrie, with powerful defenses sufficient to withstand Durandal's continuous attacks, and a recovery ability that would be a pleasant surprise for any enemy.
Such a vast power was one of Otto's greatest trump cards.
But now, his greatest trump card had been turned against him in an instant. The Soulium bodies, which should have been dominated by Otto Apokalypse's consciousness, refused his commands. A few had already begun to attack him. Even his own consciousness, due to its close connection with the Soulium bodies, was beginning to be interfered with and corroded.
This was the most malevolent Divine Key that had cut off the last hope of the Previous Era civilization. Its name was the Key of Corruption, Jizo Mitama.
All technology and living beings would be corroded in its presence!
However, this was exactly what Otto wanted.
"You fell for it, didn't you?"
"Since I already knew you had obtained that Divine Key in Nagazora City and had used it against Durandal, how could I not be prepared for it?"
"Void Archives, Mimic: Fenghuang Down."
By the power of Fenghuang Down, Otto temporarily stopped the corrosion of Jizo Mitama, regained control of the Soulium bodies, and then activated the program he had carefully planted in the past two hours.
Activate the super invincible self-destruct program.
Otto's consciousness was transmitted deep into every Soulium body, cold and ruthless. As the command was issued, a series of explosions sounded within Schicksal headquarters. And amidst the explosions, certain mixed programs were forcibly transmitted back along the black mist of Jizo Mitama.
That was... junk programs!
Massive amounts of worthless and meaningless junk information; bundled software like 630, Xiaoniao Wallpaper, 2345; "This is a gift" and various lewd websites. Otto had planted these things in his Soulium bodies in advance, just waiting for Qian Yi to corrode them with Jizo Mitama. Then he would activate them and forcibly send these programs to Jizo Mitama.
As expected, these rogue-like things, as predicted, made Jizo Mitama smoke on the spot, like a young girl who had seen too many lewd doujinshi.
"H-how can you be so lewd!" Rin screamed and crashed on the spot.
Qian Yi sheathed Jizo Mitama, not surprised by this result. He knew Otto would force a trade with his Jizo Mitama. But what he didn't understand was that Jizo Mitama seemed to still be usable, but Rin seemed unwilling to work. And why did Rin's scream sound so...
Uh, indescribable.
This made Qian Yi ask curiously, "What did you put in there?"
Otto spread his hands and explained, "Some junk software, programs, information, and of course, a lot of adult-only content, like incest, bondage, forced love, non-human, taboo, and so on. They were all specially stolen from the collection libraries of the Schicksal Valkyries."
"Send me a... ah no, you show this to a child? You are a heinous sinner!" Qian Yi was furious!
Otto, you are too f*ing despicable!
"She's not a child. She's the demon who cut off the hope of the Previous Era, the culprit who killed that savior saint. You should be glad that I'm very interested in her abilities, so I only temporarily made her crash, instead of completely scrapping her."
Otto tugged at his collar. Although he was just making threats and couldn't actually destroy Jizo Mitama, only targeting the little girl who had been moved by Qian Yi to temporarily take her out of the game, deterrence was also the most important part of a battle. "This Key of Blankness is really tight without special adjustments. Well then, come and witness the sight of a star being shattered!"
A violent pressure descended from the sky. A gravity tens of thousands of times stronger, no less than that of the First Herrscher, erupted unprecedentedly. This was the Tyrant's Wrath. The ground was sinking, everything around was shaking, fire hydrants burst, and water columns shot into the sky. Even the floating island was falling.
Everyone could feel their bones being subjected to unprecedented pressure. They were being kneaded and torn by the distorted gravity, and there was no way to stop it!
"This is Welt's power?!" Siegfried was shocked.
"To be precise, it should be the power of the First Herrscher. I was unwilling to use such an unstable and uncertain power, but when a gambler sits at the table, how can he not bet all his chips?" Otto said lightly, as if betting his own life on the gambling table was not something he cared about.
"I have to say, gravity is indeed a good ability. Against a powerful elite unit, it can temporarily reduce his strength. And against a unit weaker than me—"
Otto looked at Toyokawa Shoko, Bronya, Siegfried, and the others who were already lying on the ground, unable to even stand up. He tapped his head and spat out four words, "The effect is significant."
Siegfried had just released the Judgment of Shamash once, and his body had long since reached its limit. In fact, he had reached his limit a long time ago. It was a miracle that he was still alive.
As for the others, their physical conditions were not very good. They were typical glass cannons.
"Let's talk."
Otto extended his hand to Qian Yi. "I swear on the name of Otto Apokalypse that from this day on, I will resign from the position of Schicksal Overseer, and you will succeed me as the new Schicksal Overseer. As long as you are willing to assist me and complete my plan."
He invited Qian Yi to be his successor, just as he had invited Joyce back then. He had already shown his strength, and the other party had already shown theirs.
If the two sides went to war, he might lose, but the other side would have to lose at least half of their members. This loss was something that no organization could afford.
At the end, he added, "After all, you don't want your cherished companions to be crushed into pieces by gravity, do you?"
"Ahem, Otto, your gravity is indeed impressive. But what if I pull out this move?" Qian Yi raised his hand and shouted, "Heracles Stones! Combine!"
Some people can't withstand the gravity?
It doesn't matter! We'll just all merge into one!
Now! Let's eat mud together (merge into one)!
Qian Yi erupted with divinity. A brilliant divine aura surged out from his body, and a majestic shout echoed throughout Schicksal headquarters!
"Body of Heracles, return to your position!"
"Here I come!" Kiana shouted, rushing towards Qian Yi like a meteor. The two merged into one without any barriers.
"Armor of Heracles, return to your position!" Talulah responded and flew out.
"Summoned beasts of Heracles, return to your position!"
"Sword of Heracles..." Although Artoria didn't understand, she still followed the guidance of the Sword of Heracles within her body and fell into Qian Yi's hands.
Siegfried, Raiden Mei, and the others watched this spectacular scene dumbfounded. With each shout from Qian Yi, one person would turn into a stream of light and merge with him. He looked like a divine king from mythology. When he gave an order, no one dared to disobey.
This scene shocked Otto to the core. He had of course heard of Heracles. He was the strongest hero in Greek mythology. Even the true gods had to temporarily give way before him. If this group of people really merged into that mighty god...
"Void Archives, Mimic: Star of Eden, Zeroth Power! Pseudo Black Hole!"
Otto immediately activated the Key of Blankness and Void Archives at full power. A pseudo black hole instantly swallowed Qian Yi and the others.
But the next moment, a mountain-like, imposing figure walked out of the black hole unscathed. Then, with a wave of its hand, the black hole shattered.
"Little bro, didn't you have breakfast?"
