Chapter 299 - Chapter 299. Otto, I'm here to kill you.

At that moment, Bronya, who was riding Project Bunny inside the theater, spotted a young man ahead of her, holding a doll of a young girl.

Instantly seeing through the doll's flaws, Bronya realized that this person was another unlucky soul dragged into the theater by Otto.

What's more, Bronya recognized him.

Well, not so much recognized, but she had looked up his information for a certain reason.

Previously, in order to save her reckless adoptive mother, Bronya had traveled to England with Leo Ash to carry out a mission from Otto.

At the time, Leo had suddenly asked Bronya about someone's whereabouts.

Bronya hadn't known why Leo cared about a young man named 'Chen Tianwu', but for the sake of her own mother's safety, she had obediently investigated his location.

After discovering he was in Manila, Bronya had informed Leo.

The matter had ended there, but now, looking at the face she had seen in the files, Bronya's mind was racing.

Although everyone around Leo knew that he definitely possessed information they didn't, this was...

*Brother Leo mentioned Chen Tianwu. Looking at it now, it means he already knew Chen Tianwu was a Herrscher Host.*

*To even know who the Herrscher Hosts are, isn't his intelligence network a bit too ridiculous?*

Of course, while Bronya was pondering this, she didn't stop what she was doing.

She had read Chen Tianwu's file. The doll in his arms was clearly a fake modeled after his sister, Chen Tianwen.

In other words... ah, it's too late.

Sensing Chen Tianwu's energy fluctuations growing stronger, Bronya adjusted the goggles she had created and said to Himeko.

"Teacher Himeko, please lend me your power!"

"Alright, I understand."

Himeko carefully mobilized the power within her body, attempting to infuse Honkai Energy into Project Bunny.

They hadn't discussed it, but right now...

—they didn't need to.

Facing a Herrscher Host on the verge of Herrscher Transformation, they had to interrupt his awakening before any talking could be done.

And now, after Project Bunny was boosted by the combined power of two Herrschers, Bronya charged straight at the stunned Chen Tianwu.

"Mr. Chen, please bear with this. The pain will be over in an instant!"

Chen Tianwu, who should have been in despair, was distracted by the terrifying roar of the engine and looked toward the motorcycle speeding toward him.

Then, before he could react, he was sent flying by its wheel.

In truth, Chen Tianwu had already completed the formation of his core under the guidance of the Will of the Honkai.

With a little more time, the utterly despairing Chen Tianwu would have become a vanguard for the Honkai to wreak havoc upon the world.

But before Chen Tianwu could learn how to use his authority, the combined attack from Bronya and Himeko had critically injured him in a single blow.

Even though Chen Tianwu, with his Herrscher Core, had instinctively activated the Herrscher's innate Imaginary Shield when faced with danger, but...

—against the combined force of two Herrschers, what good was the automatically deployed, unreinforced Imaginary Shield of an 'infant' Herrscher!

Himeko and Bronya were indeed being interfered with by the Honkai, but the interference with their cores' operation only made it difficult for them to use their Herrscher authorities.

Releasing Honkai Energy was a basic action they had used frequently as Valkyries. It wasn't something they would suddenly forget how to do just because they had become Herrschers.

In an instant, Chen Tianwu truly could no longer feel pain.

After all, thanks to Project Bunny's strike, he was now in a state of severe comminuted fractures.

Looking at the unlucky man lying on the ground on the verge of death, a trace of guilt flashed in Bronya's eyes.

But the decisive young woman quickly dismounted, helped Chen Tianwu onto the motorcycle, and without hesitation, injected him with half a tube of HSN serum.

Although she felt sorry for this stranger, Bronya believed that this situation was more 'friendly' for him compared to letting him awaken, which would have inevitably led to a major battle between them.

Bronya's plan was to bring HSN serum to support the Herrscher Hosts who needed help and salvation, but having a plan was one thing, and implementing it was another.

Against someone who could completely fall to the Honkai's side at any moment, even with their combined strength, Bronya and Himeko couldn't guarantee a stable victory.

After all, killing is much easier than capturing alive. If they really had to fight this Herrscher, neither of them could guarantee they would have the luxury of capturing him alive.

"Ah, this is..."

Just as she placed Chen Tianwu in the other sidecar seat, Bronya suddenly heard a very familiar voice.

"Auntie Bronya, Grandma Himeko!!!"

Not far away, Isla Ash, drawn by the strong energy fluctuations here and the two other energy waves moving in other areas, had quietly approached this zone.

Upon seeing her two acquaintances, Isla immediately waved happily at them.

"Here! I'm over here!"

"Isla?!"

Seeing the first member of their organization who had gone missing, Himeko and Bronya simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

*Thank goodness, the child is safe.*

*Sigh, if something had happened to her, we wouldn't have been able to face Leo Ash.*

"No, wait, this isn't the time for that!"

Thinking of her two mothers fighting each other, the smile on Isla's face vanished, and she spoke to them with great urgency.

"You have to go help Mama Kiana quickly. Mama Kiana is in great danger right now!"

"Kiana..."

Hearing that name, Himeko sighed helplessly.

As a Herrscher Host deliberately created by Otto, now that everyone knew the secrets, even a fool could see that Otto's concern for Kiana was because she was a key element of his core plan.

And now, Otto had personally brought her into the theater...

Well, it was an expected development.

"Alright, get on first."

After watching Isla get on the bike with the disabled Stan, Bronya returned to the driver's seat and asked Isla.

"Isla, besides Kiana, have you met anyone else?"

"No!"

Looking at Stan in her arms, Isla suddenly said with great worry.

"But besides Mama Kiana, I... I can 'smell' the scent of someone connected to Mama here."

"Mm, it's not Auntie Bianka."

"Which means... there's someone else here."

Although she had a guess in mind, Bronya still chose to head in the direction Isla pointed.

Kiana was the core of Otto's plan, but thinking about it from the opposite perspective, it meant that as long as they could save Kiana, Otto's plan could not proceed.

*So for now, Big Sister Kiana, just wait a little longer.*

*Teacher Himeko and I are coming to save you. You have to hold on!!!!*

......

Inside the void-like theater, Li Sushang, who had arrived here at some point, wished she could remain vigilant, but she found that...

—it was already difficult for her to continue fighting.

She had learned swordsmanship because of her family's background, but after many things happened, she had lost something very important to her.

After she awakened, everything from her past had become smoke and clouds.

In this world, aside from Otto the 'Raksha', she only knew Grand Master Red Kite.

But after being repeatedly denied an audience with the Immortal Red Kite, Li Sushang was struck by Leo Ash's Phantasmagoria Sword God.

After that illusionary sword strike from Leo, knowing she had aided a villain and might have inadvertently threatened the safety of the world, Li Sushang could no longer deceive herself.

Otto Apocalypse was undoubtedly a villain, so what good could she, Li Sushang, who had assisted him, possibly be?

Although she was physically over five hundred years old, at heart, Li Sushang was still just a young girl who had lost her parents and her master.

A young girl in love, acting for someone she once treasured, only to be betrayed—for an ordinary girl, such a blow could be enough to make her give up on life.

Li Sushang wasn't about to kill herself with her weapon, but one look at the gloomy expression on her face was enough to know how terrible her mood was.

Moreover, because Otto didn't dare to provoke her, the Domination Puppets that should have appeared were nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Li Sushang could only wander aimlessly through the theater, walking and walking, and doing something she wasn't very good at.

For instance—contemplating the meaning of life.

And under the guidance of the God of Honkai, the more Li Sushang thought, the more she found her life to be a failure.

Unconsciously, Li Sushang even discovered that something extra seemed to have appeared inside her body.

"Is this the Herrscher Core I learned about in the illusion?"

Feeling the core emerge within her, Li Sushang gave a self-deprecating laugh, then suddenly pointed her weapon at herself.

"How ridiculous. I hoped to be a wandering hero, but in the end, I did so much for a Raksha who has fallen to the demonic path."

"And in the end, the Honkai actually chose someone like me to become its servant?"

"Perhaps now... it's about time I made a choice."

Placing her longsword against her own neck, Li Sushang slowly closed her eyes.

Killing oneself was undoubtedly an act of cowardice.

But if Li Sushang, who had made mistake after mistake out of ignorance, could proactively 'take care' of a Herrscher at this moment, perhaps it could wash away some of the wrongs she had committed.

However, just as Li Sushang was about to strike herself with all her might, she suddenly heard a voice.

[Oh, so my sword strike left you in such a bad mood, huh.]

This voice was...

—Uncle Leo Ash???

[Seriously, I thought you were the carefree type, so I didn't check on you. How did you go from us parting ways yesterday to you trying to kill yourself today?]

[Young lady, if you're bored with nothing to do, go fight some Honkai Beasts. Killing yourself is just plain idiotic behavior.]

Although hearing a familiar voice brought a sliver of comfort to the young girl's heart.

But Li Sushang knew very well that ever since the core appeared in her body, her thoughts had become increasingly negative and extreme.

Under the guidance of these negative and extreme thoughts, Li Sushang was only thinking of suicide now, but later on, she felt that an increasingly extreme version of herself might not want to kill herself, but rather, want to go kill others.

She had done wrong, but that didn't mean she would choose to willingly fall from grace.

Compared to harming others, she would definitely choose to harm herself first to solve the problem.

[Alright, alright, these are all minor issues right now.]

[If you can't solve your mental problems, then let your Uncle here give you a hand.]

[Do you want to be a hero?]

*I do, but... am I still qualified?*

[Of course you are.]

[You helped Otto without knowing, so that was indeed a mistake, but the problem is, how many people in our team have completely clean hands... maybe half?]

[Anyway, that's not important.]

[What matters is that you know you were wrong, and at least you haven't caused any major problems yet. So, carry that sense of atonement and work hard to help others—isn't that enough?]

[The Honkai is accelerating. Never mind other places, in our Shenzhou, there are fiendish beasts to be slain every day.]

[I have to conserve my energy for high-stakes battles. Do you think the remaining Honkai Beasts should all be handled by the folks at the Taixu Sword School by having them work harder?]

*Um... Big Brother Li and the others are very strong, right?*

[They are, but with the Honkai accelerating, when Emperor-class beasts start showing up, basically only someone like you who has mastered Sword God can properly handle them.]

[Will you choose to be a coward who kills herself, or will you choose to be a great hero who strives to atone for her sins?]

[Don't talk about whether you're qualified—damn it, since when do you need qualifications to do good deeds?!]

Although Leo's words were crude, Li Sushang found that not only did she not dislike them, but they also felt very down-to-earth.

And as Leo's words entered her mind, she felt that her previous desire for suicide was indeed a bit off.

*Strange, the reasoning in Uncle's words is so simple. Why couldn't I figure it out myself?*

[Because the Honkai has corrupted your body and is directly using the 'Domination Core', the easiest way to guide others into despair, to try and slowly make you forget what you should be doing.]

[Now, are you feeling a bit clearer?]

...Thank you, Uncle.

[Great favors need no thanks. I don't want thanks. Now that you've 'woken up', get your butt in gear and get to work.]

[In the godforsaken place you're in now, there must be others who need help. Find them. If you encounter anyone undergoing Herrscher Transformation, hold them off, don't kill them... alright, under the condition of ensuring your own safety, try to hold them off as best you can.]

[Reinforcements will be here soon. When your Uncle breaks in, I'll take you to beat up that heartbreaker Otto!]

...Actually, the Raksha and I don't have that kind of relationship.

[Whether you do or not isn't important. What's important is whether you want to beat up Otto.]

*Do I want to beat up Otto?*

The question lingered in Li Sushang's mind for a second before she found the answer.

*I want... to kill him!*

*He was my benefactor, but he is a danger to the world. As a grand-disciple of the Immortal Red Kite, as a hero of Shenzhou, I must go and settle things with him!*

[Yeah, great spirit, but I know you can't bring yourself to do it.]

[But that's not the point. It's not your turn to kill him anyway. In short—get moving! Go do what you're supposed to do now!]

Yes!

After listening to Leo's admonition, Li Sushang finally realized something.

Completely unaware of what the quantum entanglement ability was, Li Sushang's mind was filled with the thought, 'Strange, how can Uncle speak inside my head?'.

Of course, while she thought about it, she certainly wouldn't waste any more time on the matter.

Uncle was right. Instead of being a coward, I should strive to help others.

How strange. I forgot such a simple thought before because I was stuck in a loop of overthinking.

The Herrscher Core is truly terrifying.

Eh, wait, then besides me right now...

—Could it be that others have also been targeted by the Herrscher Core?

The thought of others still being harmed by Otto and the Honkai made Li Sushang feel that she didn't need to get hung up on these minor details.

Act, I must act now.

Raksha, you have truly done many wrong things.

But it doesn't matter, I've thought it through now.

Although Uncle said I couldn't bring myself to do it, I know that I can.

So now...

—Otto, I'm here to kill you.

...

After communicating with Li Sushang using his quantum entanglement ability, Leo Ash looked at the frowning Kevin and asked.

"How is it? How is Kiana doing?"

"Right now, she is fighting her Herrscher Personality."

After saying this, Kevin slowly closed his eyes.

"The good news is that her awakening is happening quickly. In just a little while, Su can start capturing the fluctuations emitted by the Kaslana Stigmata, and from there, deduce her location, allowing us to charge straight in."

"But there is bad news as well. Sirin is, after all, two sides of the same coin with her."

"Her strengthening will be reflected in Sirin, so..."

"...So the stronger Kiana gets, the stronger Sirin gets, is that right?"

After hearing Kevin's explanation, Leo Ash thought for a moment and said to Kevin.

"After her position is confirmed, I want you to stay here."

"Alliance Leader Welt is in very poor condition, and Otto could choose to use even more extreme methods at any time, perhaps even abandoning the theater to attack this place."

"Although I don't think he's a match for Mr. Su, we have sufficient combat power here. It doesn't matter if you go in or not."

"Rather than having you enter the Theater of Domination with us, I think it's better for you to stay here as a safeguard."

Listening to Leo's suggestion, Kevin didn't say much, merely giving a slight nod to agree with Leo's proposal.

And after everyone had waited anxiously for about a few dozen seconds, Kevin immediately said to Su.

"Su, do it!"

"I know, Kevin."

Beginning to drive the Thousand Worlds with all his might, Su, with the assistance of the Herrscher of Sentience, precisely captured the fluctuation emitting from Kevin.

"Excellent! I've found it!"

In a mere instant, Su had precisely locked onto that coordinate.

"Everyone, get ready!"

"Ha, finally..."

At this moment, aside from Ji Lin and Yae Sakura who were unclear about what Otto had done, a hint of anticipation appeared on everyone else's faces.

Some people here might have gained something because of Otto, but many more had lost important things, either directly or indirectly, due to Otto's actions.

And now, when they finally had the chance to launch a fierce assault on Otto...

—how could they not be excited?

As fighting spirit emanated from the warriors, Su, who had opened the 'passage', suddenly turned pale from the excessive consumption of energy.

"Quickly! The passage can't be maintained for long!"

"Ha, thanks. In that case, now..."

This day has finally come.

Otto...

—I'm fucking here to kill you!

....

Inside the Theater of Domination, upon seeing Kevin's figure disappear from her sight, Kiana, whose face was already half-covered by a Honkai Beast carapace, finally let out a full sigh of relief.

Facing a relentlessly attacking Sirin who was also continuously 'evolving' alongside her, Kiana, who could now partially control the 'Kaslana Power of Salvation', discovered with immense sorrow that, in fact...

—the other party also counted as a 'Kaslana'.

And because Kiana and Sirin were both extensions of the Herrscher of the Void from fourteen years ago, they were in a state of two souls in one body.

As Kiana's physical body was strengthened, Sirin's consciousness, after gaining a physical form, would naturally be strengthened accordingly.

The currently crazed Sirin, of course, no longer cared about the dignity of the 'Honkai Queen'.

Once she went on a killing spree, she would definitely use whatever she could.

With Sirin strengthened, Kiana truly couldn't find an opportunity to strike Sirin with Jizō Mitama.

But now, Kevin's figure had disappeared, which meant everyone was coming soon!

Although Kiana, who was hoping for reinforcements, felt that it was shameful not to have solved the problem independently.

But being ashamed was still countless times better than being defeated by the enemy, having her body taken by Sirin to start causing destruction, and continuing to harm other people.

"Big Sister Kiana!"

Upon hearing the shout coming from behind her, Kiana narrowly dodged a 'command' shot by Sirin, then immediately turned to look behind her.

"Eh, Bronya, Teacher Himeko, Isla???"

*Why isn't it Senior and the others?*

"Kiana, you idiot, get out of the way!"

Seeing the energy cannon mounted on Project Bunny, Kiana broke out in a cold sweat and, without a second thought, did a barrel roll, immediately dodging the attack.

And Sirin, who was right next to Kiana, did not have such good fortune.

Because Kiana had turned her head, Sirin, who had ignored everyone else and was solely focused on taking down Kiana to seize control of her body, naturally seized the opportunity to attack Kiana.

But because of this, Sirin, who had launched an attack, lost her final chance to dodge the incoming one.

As terrifying Honkai Energy poured into the energy cannon, the gushing beam of light instantly swallowed Sirin's body.

Even with the dual defense of an Imaginary Shield and a pseudo-armor, in the face of Herrscher-level energy output, Sirin was still blasted away by this shot, rolling on the ground several times over.

"Ah, Mama..."

Watching Sirin rolling wildly on the ground, Isla really wanted to tell her aunt and grandma to go a little easier on her.

But just now, Sirin, who was getting up from the ground, actually looked at Himeko and Bronya with venomous eyes after that single blast.

"Gem of Haste, Gem of Reason... these two cores were originally my property."

"Kill... kill... kill! If I kill all of you, then I, who possess three cores, will—"

Watching the raving Sirin, Himeko at this moment whispered to Bronya.

"Hey, Bronya, most of the time I'm either at the school or the Far East Branch. Kiana isn't usually like this, is she?"

"Mm, I can confirm, absolutely not."

Looking at the clearly abnormal Sirin, Bronya nodded slightly.

"Big Sister Kiana usually just seems a bit slow, but this one... feels like she's genuinely not very smart."

"We have two Herrschers on our side, you know? She's even had her Herrscher authority taken away. Shouldn't she be running away right now?"

Sirin, who had been sneering, suddenly had her smile freeze upon hearing Bronya's words.

She was very reluctant to admit the current situation, but she also had to admit that what Bronya said...

—really made a lot of sense.

There are two Herrschers here right now, and God can't intervene in this battle.

Doesn't that mean—I'm finished?

Even though not much emotion showed on her face, Sirin, as the weaker party now, had to admit that she was really a bit scared.

But this wasn't over.

She needed to find an opportunity to run.

It was just a pity that in the current situation, it was clear that no one intended to give her any chance to leave the battlefield.

With a terrifying spatial fluctuation, a group of people appeared on this battlefield.

Siegfried, Bianka, three women in black robes, Mei, Yuna, Wendy, Fu Hua, and the existence Sirin hated the most—Leo Ash, all appeared in this area at this very moment.

After rubbing her eyes hard and even giving herself a slap, Sirin finally confirmed that this...

—was definitely not an illusion.

"Mm, sorry, Kiana, we're late."

Looking at Miss Pufferfish, who had clearly given up on thinking, Leo walked towards Sirin and asked her.

"Do you have anything you want to say?"

"I..."

"Never mind, why should I care what you have to say? I don't have time to waste pitying you right now."

Charging directly in front of Sirin, Leo, this time to avoid any unexpected incidents, completely and without reservation, deployed a barrier in a small area around himself.

Within the powerful barrier, Sirin, whose physical form was sustained by Honkai Energy and some special properties, unwillingly vanished right before everyone's eyes.

"Mama..."

Turning back to see the look of desolation on Isla's face, Leo said to Isla in a soft voice.

"Isla, don't think too much about it."

"She's not dead yet, she just lost the ability to materialize and has returned to Kiana's body."

"But..."

*But Mama Sirin will still end up fighting Daddy and the others eventually, right?*

However, although she really wanted to say this sentence, Isla still forced herself to suppress this impulse.

Daddy and the others have finally found the enemy's weakness. At a time like this, I absolutely cannot interfere with their actions.

"Senior..."

On the other side, Kiana, who really wanted to jump directly into Leo's arms, at this moment gently fiddled with her hair and said to Leo in a deliberately lighthearted manner.

"You guys came too early, otherwise I alone could have..."

But before she could finish speaking, Leo rushed to Kiana's side and immediately pulled her into his embrace.

"Alright, stop acting tough. I could see you were about to cry."

"Rest well, leave the rest to me."

"Today, I will put an end to all of this."

"...I know, okay."

Watching Leo's gesture of comforting Kiana, Wendy's eyes widened at this moment.

*Se-Se-Se-Senior and another woman have already...*

*No! I don't want this! This kind of thing, no!*

*Senior getting together with another woman, let me see that at least ten years from now!* 

As for the Herrscher of Sentience next to Wendy, although she didn't blow up in anger on the spot, the corner of her eye also began to twitch.

*Disciple, my disciple...*

*Damn it, old-timer, don't you have anything to say?*

[What is there to say? Are you this upset about Leo comforting Kiana?]

*What do you think!* 

[He came to Mount Taixu to comfort us as well.]

[Senti, since you enjoyed Leo's embrace, then you can't be so selfish as to want to have him all to yourself.]

*But, but...*

*Wait! Old-timer, have you lost your mind!* 

*A man and a woman is the proper way of things. Do you think it's a good thing that our disciple is being snatched away by some other vixen?*

[Of course it's a good thing. It means that we're not the only ones who care about Leo.]

*...I give up. No wonder Otto considered you an old friend.*

*You're both fine with having him stolen from right under your noses!*

[It is your perspective that is too narrow, Senti.]

The calmer Fu Hua's attitude was, the angrier the Herrscher of Sentience became.

She had now proactively acknowledged her identity as a Herrscher, but precisely because of this, aside from Leo, she already subconsciously felt that Fu Hua was the person closest to her.

But now, the person closest to her was taking the lead in 'surrendering' at a time like this—for the extremely combative Herrscher of Sentience, this was truly an intolerable 'betrayal'.

The angrier she got, the more she thought, and the stronger she got, the angrier she became. The Herrscher of Sentience, in the end, angrily relinquished control of the body, choosing to turn a blind eye.

"Alright, alright, everyone is watching."

After enjoying Leo's embrace for a few seconds, Kiana actively broke free from his arms.

And Leo, looking at Bronya and Himeko who had clearly obtained their cores, knew that he could temporarily relax a little.

Bronya and Himeko are fine, Chen Tianwu...

Damn, this unlucky guy is so badly injured.

Stan, you... have truly done your best.

At this moment, Leo cast a Powerful Healing Spell on Kiana, Stan, and Chen Tianwu simultaneously, then immediately began to materialize the Blank Key.

"Everyone, first tell me about the situations you've encountered. While you're talking, I'll go and deal with this theater."

"Ah, we don't have much to report on our side, but..."

Seeing Leo take out Jizō Mitama, everyone looked at Leo with great concern.

"Leo, what on earth are you planning to do?"

"Oh, what I want to do is very simple."

"After we destroyed the Rebirth Program, this theater is now Otto's last base of operations."

"Without the 'Rebirth' extra life, if Otto dies now, he will be truly dead."

"So, now..."

"—I think there's no need for me to hold back anymore!"

After connecting Jizō Mitama to the Blank Key, Leo, through his precise manipulation of Honkai Energy and the Implant skill, completely implanted Jizō Mitama into his own body, thereby completing a further 'Herrscher Transformation'.

After transforming into the 'Herrscher of Corruption', Leo said coldly to Wendy.

"Wendy, have everyone float in mid-air for now."

"From now on, it's best for everyone to avoid touching the ground as much as possible."

"This... I understand, Senior."

Although Wendy was still immersed in the sorrow of 'Senior being snatched away by a bad woman', looking at Leo's cold face at this moment, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.

*Senior is so handsome... so those things don't matter at all!*

*Senior saved me, so I just need to help him with all my might. Other things...sigh, I'll think about them later.*

After Wendy had everyone float into mid-air, Leo brought his palms together and began to release the full power of the Herrscher of Corruption.

With Leo's action, the authority of the Herrscher of Corruption began to spread out in all directions at this moment.

However, for Otto's theater, this was just the beginning.

Before entering here, Leo had already considered what he needed to do to push Otto into a corner.

For Otto, the 'super-sized mishmash' who could seize authority at any time with the help of the theater, this Theater of Domination could be said to be his last resort.

And if Leo wanted to fight Otto for control of the theater using the Domination Core...

Although he was much stronger than Otto, the difference between having the backing of the Will of the Honkai and not was huge.

So, since relying on the identity of the Herrscher of Domination to seize the theater was already impossible, Leo had to turn up the intensity on Otto.

"Corruption..."

"—Endless Jizō Blade!"

At this moment, after activating a long-unused Buddhist secret technique, Leo began to combine the power of Corruption with the technique of Endless Jizō Blade, forcibly fusing the two.

Although this move seemed to be a new move after fusion, in essence, Leo was just using his newly acquired authority and delivering it through the dispersive attack method of the Jizō Blade.

The energy driving the Jizō Blade now had one more type, but this move was actually still similar to the ordinary Jizō Blade.

After Leo completed this move, a large number of energy blades began to appear from all directions, attempting to 'slice' open everything before them.

Before everyone's eyes, Leo, who was continuously walking forward, at this moment began to launch a fierce assault on the entire theater while walking.

Although they did not know what Otto was thinking right now, at this moment, the image of Otto's face covered in cold sweat appeared in everyone's mind without any prior agreement.

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

At this moment, Leo, who was continuously dismantling the place with Endless Jizō Blade, said to the people in mid-air.

"If my guess is correct, Otto's last wave of attacks is probably coming soon."

"It's not coming soon, it's already here."

Looking at the dark mass of figures in the distance, Siegfried tightly gripped the Judgment of Shamash in his hand and said with a very excited laugh.

"Heh... Hahahahaha!!!"

"Little Brother Leo, you've done well!"

"Otto responded immediately, which means your offensive is perfectly fine!"

"Ah, I'll leave these small fry to you all. After all, right now, I don't want to be too distracted."

At this moment, Leo, who was continuously corrupting the theater, was actually doing another thing.

The theater, after all, was also something that could be corrupted, so Leo, who was corrupting the theater, had already narrowed down the location of the area where Otto was by following the trail.

Next, as long as he dismantled the theater and found Otto, all of this would be over.

*Otto, let me see what tricks you have left to struggle with.*

*After all...*

*—now that things have reached this point, the more you struggle, the more pleasure I will get when I kill you!*
