Chapter 604 My Name Is Raiden Mei, and I Am the New Lord of the World Snake

"Oh my dear little Theresa, you are finally here. I thought you would cruelly reject the care of an old man who is about to die for his granddaughter..."

"Grandpa! Is this the time to say this!!!"

Although she had expected this to happen, Theresa had stretched her too young face to make wrinkles in advance, but after seeing Otto's cynical face and deliberately clamped voice in the communication, she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Little Theresa, do you know how depressing your performance just now is? For this opening speech, I rehearsed for two minutes in advance."

"Grandpa!"

Taking a deep breath, Theresa suppressed the restlessness in her heart bit by bit.

This is not difficult, because standing on the bridge of Hyperion, you can see the scene outside the ship through the porthole.

The ruins that have not yet been cleaned up, the soldiers who come and go in a hurry, but are exhausted and haggard, and the wailing in the heart driven by imagination even if they are isolated.

When a person feels these, no matter how much inappropriate restlessness there is in his heart, no matter how frivolous and infuriating the words are, he can always calm down easily.

Just like the singing of birds that is impossible to hear in a raging storm.

Glancing at the two doctors standing silently behind her, and then at Mei standing in front of the porthole with Mobius, Theresa bit her lip and looked at Otto. Just as she was about to say something, Hua on the side spoke first:

"Okay, Otto, even if you want to play a trick on us, you shouldn't choose this time. If you just want to joke, just say it directly, don't waste each other's time."

"Oh, oh, oh! Look who this is - isn't this my old friend, the Red Kite Immortal? The Red Kite Immortal, you know me best, so you should know what I'm waiting for, right?"

Hua's eyebrows shrugged upwards, and then closed her eyes and shook her head.

But people who are familiar with her can naturally see that this shake of the head is not a denial, but a sigh.

"You should ask for what you want yourself, instead of wasting everyone and Theresa's time to guess your thoughts."

"The Red Kite Immortal, what you said is a bit... If it was that man or the Eighth Herrscher who did the same thing, you would only feel distressed, right?"

Hua pursed her lips and said nothing.

Theresa seemed to have just woken up. She looked at her grandfather with an unprecedented scrutiny and asked quickly:

"So Grandpa...you mean, you can help us, but we need to exchange something else, right?"

"Of course, I should have taught you, Theresa - equivalent exchange, this is the underlying logic of the world, whether it is science, philosophy or secular and human interaction."

"Then you should tell us what kind of help you can provide and what kind of return you want."

"Yeah."

Otto responded twice perfunctorily, but suddenly laughed.

"What I want is actually very simple - Anna Shaniat. I just want this person. Of course, there is no need to hide it. I don't really care about her as a person. What I need is the will of the stigma in her body. I just have something to say to that stigma will and questions to ask. If you don't want to let her go, I just want to communicate with her."

"Is it that simple?"

Theresa looked at her grandfather's drooping face, and a doubt flashed through her mind, and then she quickly became alert.

For Otto Apokalis, the less he asks of you, the more likely he is to double the compensation in places you haven't noticed.

And this is in line with the definition of equal exchange that he was talking about not long ago.

But the most worrying thing is not this. If this man is prepared to abide by the rules for the first time, doesn't it mean that his help will be like his request... not worth much?

"Why? Don't you believe grandpa? Theresa, I should have taught you another thing. The same thing, one thing, often has different weights in the eyes of different people. You think that talking to the stigmata will in Anna's body that never pays attention to you is a thing of little value, but for me, it contains about the weight of the whole world in your eyes."

For this granddaughter who he has taken care of personally for forty years, it is just a glance for Otto to see through her thoughts and feelings.

And he tasted the bitter red wine as he wished, and said the words he had been holding back for half a year.

Half a year, compared to the 566 years that have passed, is not a fleeting moment, but it is definitely not a long wait.

But after making this request, his soul steel body had an unexpected reaction - all the muscles in his body became weak and relaxed, only his lungs tightened, and his nostrils expanded and shrank imperceptibly, carefully savoring the result of this wait.

However, someone broke it all:

"Hurry up and put away that disgusting expression, Otto! Theresa has long since withdrawn from the destiny and announced that she has terminated her relationship with you. We still have a long-ago account to settle, so don't act pitiful here! If you really want to show your sincerity, why not tell us what you can do?"

Faced with Tesla's sudden provocation, Otto just took a sip of red wine and said nothing.

After Theresa's initial confusion, she soon seemed to understand something. She looked at her grandfather with burning eyes and asked in a neither humble nor condescending manner:

"So, Archbishop Otto of Destiny, since you have made your request, please show your sincerity by the way. In terms of fighting against the suspected Tenth Herrscher and rescuing Kiana, what can you provide? What kind of help?”

"Well, do children really need to be left alone? - Teresa, you have really grown a lot in the past six months. The anti-entropy doctors are really good at teaching and educating people. But as a grandfather, I have to tell you one more thing . When your strength is on the relatively weak side, don't always behave like them... Okay, okay, don't look at me with such angry eyes, I said, I said, okay? ”

Covering the turbulent emotions in his heart with a sly smile, Otto put the bitter red wine aside. It wasn't until his expression looked more solemn and serious that he spoke:

"The help I can provide is nothing more than two points. First, in fact, as early as a month or two ago, there were many mecha rampage incidents in Europe similar to the mecha rampage you encountered not long ago. For example, a large-scale explosion occurred in a weapons manufacturing factory. After the strike, the suppression was finally completed, but it was discovered that a large number of weapons had been transferred during the riot, and soon appeared in another batch of armed riots against Tianming.

"Fortunately, it involves destiny, so I can send Bianca and the Immortal Blade to investigate those abnormal situations. Of course, the results of the investigation are not satisfactory, but it can be seen that there is a driving force behind these incidents. hands, but if you want to dig deeper, It is quite difficult. There is no doubt that the other party has elusive qualities, abundant manpower, and a very secretive and complete communication network, but its power is relatively weak and can only do these sneaky things. This corresponds to the pre-civilization Characteristics of the Tenth Herrscher..."

"So, you scumbag, can you get to the point? Don't you know how tight our time is now?"

In the projection, Otto glanced lightly at Tesla, who was rude again.

He was not angry, just a little emotional - was he really showing his emotions too directly?

Even though Tesla had this fiery temperament in his mind, Otto didn't think that Tesla would be so reckless. There is no doubt that perhaps from the moment they took the initiative to exchange prisoners of war many times, the two doctors of Anti-Entropy have already noticed something.

To actually make such a low-level mistake in the end, even Otto himself couldn't help but laugh at himself. But, it doesn't really matter. Because this time, he no longer needs to betray anyone.

"Yes, yes, then I will tell you the results directly. The biggest results Bianca has achieved are...these."

Otto in the projection raised his hand, and a stack of ticket-like things appeared in his hand.

"What is this?"

"You know it from the looks of it, it's something like tickets."

"I mean, what is this ticket for?"

"Sure enough, after skipping so many explanations, the next words will be a little difficult to understand..."

"Huh? What do you mean, this is our fault, right?"

"Dr. Tesla, if you interrupt me like this again, I'm afraid the time will be..."

Theresa and Einstein silently pulled Tesla behind them.

"When Bianca was scouting for clues, she found this kind of ticket in the homes of several people who have been identified as the organizers of abnormal events. Without exception, those people seemed to have disappeared from the world. This was the only ticket in their home. Something of value.

"According to Bianca's speculation, the targets of those suspected Tenth Herrscher individuals are probably in the place where the [Domination Theater] is written on the ticket. They exchange information there, determine the target, and then set off from there, suddenly appearing in Somewhere in reality, an abnormal event occurs.

"In other words, after they capture Kiana, if they are not anxious to execute her immediately, but want to use Kiana herself to do something, they will inevitably take Kiana there."

Hua lowered his eyes, walked aside silently, and dialed a message for Su Shang.

"Um……"

Theresa held her chin up in thought. It was undeniable that the information Otto provided was indeed valid, but...

"It seems that the Tenth Herrscher of the pre-civilization did not have this kind of space, right?"

"Please, my dear Theresa, this is a new era. The power of the Herrscher may be highly consistent with that of previous civilizations in general, but there will always be differences in the details of its application."

"Well……"

After thinking about it, Theresa accepted this speculation.

"[Domination Theater], if they communicate and move through such a space that is independent of the intrinsic world, then there is only one possibility for this space itself - world bubble."

Einstein stood behind Theresa and added unhurriedly.

"The problem now is that even if we have the Second God's Key, we can't accurately locate the [Domination Theater] in the quantum sea. Otto, you don't know what the specific function of these is, let alone what they have." How can I use the useless ticket to enter the "Domination Theater"?

"Yes, Dr. Einstein, the question you raised is accurate, pertinent, and to the point, but have you forgotten something - our Bianca has something given by a former civilization pioneer."

Einstein was stunned, and Theresa quickly read out the name of the thing before she could react - "Sumeru Mustard Seed?"

"What else? What do you think Bianca has been doing for this month? Or did you not even notice that Bianca disappeared for a month?"

"Grandpa, you make it sound like Orchiddale is a public figure..."

Theresa complained in a low voice, but suddenly, her body stiffened, and she glared at Otto:

"Archbishop Otto of Destiny! Are you still trying to get spy information from us at this time!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm just used to it. Theresa, you will definitely forgive me, right?"

Looking at the "smiling" grandfather, Theresa was speechless for a moment.

She always felt that something had changed about her grandfather, but with her shallow understanding of him, she couldn't describe this change for a while.

"So, has Orchiddale been using the Sumeru mustard seed to observe the position of the [Domination Theater] relative to the intrinsic world for the past month?"

"Yes. Of course, this is thanks to the help of Dr. Schrödinger. In short, as long as you agree to let me communicate with the will of the holy scar in Anna's body after the incident is settled, I can send you the coordinates now."

"...Okay, but I have a supplementary clause suggestion - whether it is as Theresa or Theresa Apokalis, I hope that I will be present as a supervisor when you communicate, so as to prevent you from doing something bad to her."

"Little Theresa, how much do you not trust your grandfather? This is too hurtful to a five hundred and sixty-six ..."

"...Grandpa, isn't this your own problem..."

"Ahem! I'll have Amber send the location of [Theatre of Domination] directly to Hyperion's communication mailbox, remember to check it. In addition, Bianca has been keeping the relative position with [Theatre of Domination] stable with the help of Gnius, and she will cooperate once you launch an attack. "

"Is this the second help...Thank you..."

If it were another mission, if the enemy was just an ordinary Herrscher, having an extra Orandel by your side would be enough to surpass the S-class Valkyrie, and it would certainly be an exciting thing to set a new standard for the combat power of the Valkyrie with your own name.

But when the opponent is that man, just Orandel...is not enough, really not enough.

"No. How Bianca plans to act is up to her. I will not give her any more orders. What I said is just a guess based on her personality. As for the second help... Theresa, do you mind connecting another communication?"

"Connect another one? Is it Sushang? Or..."

"I have already informed Sushang. They will follow the clues of the ticket. However, there are fewer abnormal events in Shenzhou. I don't think there will be many clues to find, and it's too late now."

Hua walked back from the side and silently interjected.

"I also reminded Sushang. But the second help is not about Taixu."

"Could it be..."

Theresa's eyes widened a little. She nodded to Ai Yi who had been waiting beside her. After a while, another communication was connected. As the stereo projection opened, a strange woman wearing a jackal mask appeared in front of everyone.

Of course, the reason why she was said to be unfamiliar was that most people present had really seen her in person for the first time, and this appearance quickly matched some of the information in their memories -

"You are a cadre of World Serpent, codenamed [Jackal]. I have a good memory, right, Ms. Cleo?"

After exchanging a glance with the two doctors, Theresa tried to lower her voice.

And at the moment when the Jackal appeared, in a place where no one noticed, Mebius, who was originally leaning against the porthole and silently looking at the ruins, shuddered and covered his emerald green hair with the collar of his white coat.

"Uh uh, with such a tone, I always feel that Ms. Theresa has a lot of opinions about me."

The Jackal waved his hand, and the huge mask covered his entire face, even his eyes, so that people could not see what she was thinking.

"Let's not talk about the Sky City. You, the cadre of World Serpent, can't be still unaware of what your Lord has done?"

Looking at Theresa's angry and resentful eyes, the Jackal sneered and had some interest in teasing.

"We just received the news, too. Oh, oh, oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't control our Lord for a while. Who knew he would do such a big thing? It's really..."

"Ms. Jackal, I suggest that everyone should be frank and not waste each other's time."

Theresa closed her mouth hesitantly, looking at Otto who interrupted her with some confusion.

"Tsk, only you, Otto, are not qualified to say such things."

Having said that, looking at this man who could cause a shock to most of the world by picking his nose, coupled with some of his own considerations, Jackal quickly calmed down, spent two seconds organizing his words and spoke again:

"I have good news for you. Actually, as early as last night, which corresponds to your American Mountain Time, the Lord suddenly returned to the base and summoned me, Raven, and Gray Snake, several senior cadres, to hold a very short meeting. The content of the meeting was quite simple, and it can be summarized in one sentence - he is no longer the Lord of our World Snake."

"Huh?"

"That is to say, he resigned and nominated a new Lord. No matter how bad the World Snake is in your eyes, its purpose is still to fight against the collapse. Logically, his final decision should be declared invalid after such a thing happened. However, we think that the new Lord he nominated is quite suitable, and it is necessary to tell you and cooperate with you on this basis."

"The new Lord of the World Snake, could it be..."

Theresa thought of something and smiled with a complicated expression. She felt that it was unexpected, but it was indeed something that the man who was more unpredictable than Grandpa could do.

"Forget it. After this happened, no matter how many words we say, it will only make you think that we are trying to clear our name. Fortunately, I left the minutes of the meeting as evidence. I'll just let you listen to his original voice directly-"

The Jackal in the projection pressed a button, and Mikael's voice soon came from the other end of the communication:

"... In summary, I, Mikael Shanyat, will resign from the position of World Serpent Lord from today and completely withdraw from the organization. As for the candidate for the new Lord, I will nominate him and you will vote to decide whether to approve him. The candidate I nominate is-Raiden Mei." (End of this chapter)
