Inside Destiny Floating Island.
"Who is it, who exactly is it!"
Otto frantically stared at the full-screen display in front of him.
He found that his ranking in kallen fantasy iv had actually dropped to third place!
Using a holographic combat projection screen, a black technology, to play games—one could only say it was truly Otto Apocalypse, effortlessly achieving what we couldn't.
But that wasn't the point.
Today, just as Otto was about to log in to clear his daily quests in kallen fantasy iv and admire his unparalleled glorious battle score, he was horrified to find his ranking had dropped.
And it wasn't just to second place, but to third! The most crucial part was the player ID of the first-place holder, which made Otto almost spit out blood.
Bronya's ID was "Metal Gear Bronya."
Byakuya's ID was "Saint Kallen Doesn't Love Otto."
Otto: "Which bastard is speaking the truth? Damn it, they must be cheating! Amber! Contact the kallen fantasy iv game company and thoroughly investigate this person's account... and the second-place one too!"
Amber: "Your Grace, please do something proper. Today's work isn't finished yet."
Otto: "Joking aside, Otto Apocalypse not doing proper things is the most outstanding contribution to world peace. How many people in this world secretly pray that I never do anything proper?"
Amber: "...What you said makes so much sense, Amber can't refute it."
This person is as self-aware as ever.
Amber thought about her Lord Bishop's myriad evil plans, his inhumane "proper" affairs, and for a moment, she actually thought it might be a good idea to let this guy slack off forever.
Suddenly, she realized she had been led astray.
Even excluding those inhumane plans, you could still help handle Schicksal's political affairs! And the economic side... well, let's just forget about that.
Thinking that if Schicksal's economy were entirely handed over to this person, Amber feared she would receive news the very next day that the company developing the kallen fantasy series had become a global chain enterprise.
This person would definitely use the funds to develop games!
"According to the game company's Detection, both accounts have been confirmed to be fine."
"Then ban them for me."
"...Yes."
Amber's eye twitched behind her mask. Banning accounts when he couldn't win, this Schicksal Bishop was truly scum!
By the way, since kallen fantasy iv was originally an erotic game with Kallen Kaslana as the female protagonist and Otto depicting himself as the male protagonist, many players actually heavily criticized the game's plot.
Although Byakuya's ID was infuriating, it didn't make Otto overthink it; he just thought it was another player dissatisfied with the plot.
But even so, looking at that clearly malicious game ID and the game score that left him far behind, Otto still felt utterly unwell.
He recalled the last time he felt such erosion was during the Second Honkai Eruption, facing the Herrscher of the Void.
A few minutes later.
When Otto saw his account reclaim the top spot on the kallen fantasy iv leaderboard, he finally swirled the wine glass in his hand, satisfied.
This was his throne alone,
Symbolizing his unwavering love for Kallen.
Otto would never yield it to anyone!
However...
ID: Is that all? Otto, a loser!
In just ten minutes, Byakuya's new account reclaimed the top spot, once again pushing him off the number one throne.
Otto: "Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Amber: (You deserve it.)
Seeing her Lord Bishop almost choke to death on red wine, Amber felt no sympathy whatsoever.
Otto: "What are you standing there for? Ban! Let's see who's faster, his ranking climb or my ban!"
Amber: "Oh~ what kind of situation is this."
If it weren't for the fact that this person was her creator, Amber felt she might consider resigning. Being a secretary, even a semi-mechanical maid, for this Lord Bishop who never did anything proper all day was exhausting.
Although she felt somewhat sorry for this player, Amber still obeyed the order and had the game company ban the account.
As expected, ten minutes later, Byakuya's new account once again topped the rankings. (Thank goodness this is a game that tests skill, not equipment.)
And this time, his ID made Otto directly crush the red wine glass in his hand.
Byakuya's ID: This is my Pure Love for Saint Kallen, Clown, your purity isn't enough!
If Otto wasn't that angry just now,
Now he was truly, truly furious!
"Bastard! Who are you calling impure! How could my love for Kallen be impure! By the way, is there no limit to the length of game IDs!"
Otto said through gritted teeth.
You can question his character.
You can question his integrity.
You can even question his hair color!
But you absolutely cannot question Otto Apocalypse's five hundred years of unwavering Pure Love for Kallen Kaslana!
"Lord Bishop, should I continue banning?"
Amber was already ready to ban the account.
The game company had already wisely sent over the management permissions, as they had to grovel to their sugar daddy.
However, this time, Otto did not let her continue.
"No, Amber, it's no longer necessary. This is a challenge to me, the Bishop! It's a test and trial of my love for Kallen!"
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"Saying my purity isn't enough? Fine, then let me show you how formidable this Bishop is. Hmph~ Although power can solve most troubles, sometimes, even knowing the odds aren't in your favor, you must step forward and fight!"
Byakuya's ID completely ignited Otto Apocalypse's overwhelming love for the Saint.
If he continued to ban accounts, he could indeed retain his throne. But that would also mean Otto admitting that his love for Saint Kallen was not pure enough.
Therefore, even though he knew his chances of winning were slim, he could only grit his teeth and push forward! To surpass past limits and create new record scores.
Otto: "Ah~ Kallen, for you, I can do anything!"
Amber: "...Lord Bishop, you have more important matters to attend to now. We've detected Anti-Entropy's mech forces moving towards Changkong City."
Otto: "Tsk!"
Hearing that it was indeed a serious matter requiring his personal decision, Otto could only temporarily put down his game controller.
He rested his chin in his hand, pondering for a moment.
Originally, Otto had planned to send Theresa to handle it, but ever since the Second Honkai Eruption, his good granddaughter had grown increasingly distant from him.
Although the St. Freya Academy founded by Theresa now cooperated with Schicksal, Otto knew that the academy was not under his direct command.
Officially, he had no right to order Theresa and the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy.
Of course, they certainly wouldn't be willing to obey his orders, after all... most of the A-rank Valkyries at St. Freya Academy were the ones he had used as bait and abandoned during the Second Honkai Eruption, only to be saved by the Herrscher of the Void.
Otto: "Although the combat power of an A-rank Valkyrie is nothing special, it's still a nuisance."
Most of the Valkyries saved by Byakuya during the Second Honkai Eruption later left the Destiny Organization.
Most people, having learned the truth about Babylon and witnessed the deeds of Herrscher of the Void Bai, had their faith shattered and no longer pursued the profession of Valkyrie.
Some of the remaining followed Cecilia to Anti-Entropy, while others followed Theresa to St. Freya Academy as teachers, intending to cultivate new-era Valkyrie.
Although the number was reduced layer by layer, an A-rank Valkyrie was enough to deal with a Honkai Emperor alone, which made Saint Freya's lineup much stronger than in the original plot.
They would no longer have to search the entire academy, only to find that just S-rank Valkyrie Judah, the spy Fu Hua, and Teacher Himeko were the only ones capable of fighting.
