You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Since the three parties, Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent, joined forces, Destiny Airport has become the headquarters of the Human Union, accommodating personnel from Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent.

To this end, Otto also specially expanded the Destiny Airport to facilitate the daily operations of the Human Union.

At this moment, the people's union convened its first meeting.

With Qiu Bi unable to attend, the conference table was empty, with only Otto, Walter, and Kevin participating.

A silence was spreading, making the air feel much colder.

"...Is the Herrscher's information accurate?"

After a long silence, Kevin was the first to ask a question.

Otto chuckled but remained silent, offering no direct answer to Kevin.

There's usually no need to ask about Herrschers; none of them, whether Otto, Kevin, or Welt, would joke about such a thing.

Since the meeting is being held because of the "Herrscher," it means that the Herrscher is certain to arrive this time, and there is almost no possibility of any unforeseen events.

"The previous Herrscher was the Herrscher of Wind, so this Herrscher should be the Herrscher of Ice."

“I hope so.” Otto chuckled, then continued, “Now we need to discuss countermeasures against the impending arrival of the ‘Herrscher of Ice,’ as well as the roster for the slaying force.”

Chapter 252 The Blonde Girl from the Orphanage

After the Human Union was established, the experiences of previous generations of civilizations were no longer a secret and were already known to Otto and Walter.

Therefore, both Otto and Welt knew the order in which the Herrschers would appear and their corresponding powers.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next Herrscher to descend will definitely be the "Herrscher of Ice".

With proper and targeted measures, the "Herrscher of Ice" is unlikely to cause too much of a disaster.

As for the Honkai Beasts spawned when the "Herrscher of Ice" descended...

As long as no Honkai Beast of Emperor level or above appears, it will not pose much of a threat.

"The Destiny Council has dispatched a Valkyrie force led by Maria Schariac to serve as the main force in this Honkai War."

"Anti-Entropy will send Titan forces to provide support, and Cocolia and Dr. Iserlyn will accompany the team."

sound off.

Otto and Walter both looked at Kevin simultaneously, silently waiting for him to speak.

Kevin remained silent in the face of their gazes.

Upon closer examination, it seems that the World Serpent doesn't have many usable personnel; the most numerous beings are actually the "Grey Serpents" with different numbers.

After much deliberation, Kevin made his final decision.

"...The World Serpent Society has dispatched 'Ravens' to participate in this Honkai War; I will personally join the battle if necessary."

Before he could finish speaking, Kevin pressed on, "So, what are the specifics?"

Otto smiled without saying a word, tapping the table lightly with his index finger.

A soft tapping sound echoed in the meeting room. Walter and Kevin remained silent, neither asking Otto any further questions.

After a moment, Otto quietly recounted the available intelligence.

The location of the Herald's arrival has been confirmed as Paris, France, and has been pinpointed to an orphanage. As for the time of arrival and the exact target...

Even today, a united front cannot make such accurate judgments.

"Otto, are you going to inform Qiu Bi?"

“I will have Theresa relay this to Cecilia, since the Valkyrie Squad is led by Cecilia’s sister, Maria Shaniat.”

Otto went to great lengths to dissuade Kallen from joining the war, and managed to persuade her to temporarily abandon the idea.

If Maria fails to kill or suppress the Fifth Herrscher immediately, then Otto will be unable to stop Kallen from joining the battle, unless he awakens "her".

However, Otto still doesn't know how to explain "her" to Karen, so he hasn't been able to wake "her" yet.

"When to set off?"

Kevin crossed his arms, maintaining a cold expression throughout.

"Let's set the date for three days from now. After all, organizing the Valkyrie squad will take some time, and we'll also need to hold a mobilization meeting."

The Herrscher has not yet arrived, and the Human Alliance has plenty of time, so there's no need to rush to organize the Valkyries to join the battle.

Otto, as if lost in thought, suddenly asked, "Kevin, do you have any ideas about resurrecting your loved ones?"

"..."

Kevin remained silent.

After about half a minute, he sighed softly, "Humanity has not yet defeated the Honkai, so it is not the right time to revive her."

Even if Kevin were to resurrect "Mei" now, he would be unable to truly embrace "Mei" due to his physical condition.

Once humanity defeats the Honkai, he may be able to return to a normal body, at least no longer emitting a cold that is unbearable for ordinary people.

"Is there anything else we need to discuss?"

Kevin collected his thoughts and then stared at Otto.

"Of course."

Otto's smile faded, and he asked seriously, "Should we announce the Honkai? Letting each country handle ordinary Honkai events might alleviate the pressure on the Valkyries."

"Isn't it too early now?"

Walter pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and raised a question.

Otto chuckled and explained, "If we wait until the Valkyries can't resist anymore before announcing the existence of Honkai, it will be a bit too late. After all, it takes time to create Honkai energy weapons."

"...You can decide. Our current goal is the same—to hold on until Sirin and Angelin defeat the Honkai."

"Let's wait until we've dealt with the Fifth Herrscher before announcing the Honkai issue."

Otto concluded the matter with a casual remark, then rose and left first.

"So……"

"The first meeting of the Human Union has now concluded. It is time to prepare for the Fifth Honkai War, which will be held soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Otto turned and left the conference room, leaving Walter and Kevin alone inside.

After leaving the conference room, Amber, not Karen, was the first person Otto saw.

"Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

"As originally planned, organize the Valkyrie troops and hand them over to Maria for command. A mobilization meeting will be held in three days."

"learn."

"By the way, where's Karen?"

"Sister Kallen... Lady Kallen is training, she said it's for the upcoming Fifth Honkai War."

Amber instinctively wanted to call Kallen "Sister Kallen," but then she thought it was inappropriate to address Kallen that way in front of Otto, so she quickly changed her address.

Otto chuckled and then said, "Since it was Karen who asked you to address me that way, then address me as Karen requested. Don't worry about my opinion."

"I understand..."

Amber bowed slightly, then followed Otto away.

In addition, Einstein and Tesla, who were anti-entropy, and the gray snake of the World Serpent were also waiting here, but they did not interrupt Otto and Amber's conversation.

……

Paris, an ordinary orphanage.

A blonde girl sat upright on the edge of the bed, nervously and expectantly tearing open the envelope and taking out a letter filled with writing.

The letter was simple, filled with the writer's experiences and interesting anecdotes from this period.

"...I might be going to Paris on business for a while, and I'll be able to visit you soon. —Iserlyn Leviathan"

Upon seeing the last line of text, the girl's expression brightened with joy.

"Iselin is coming soon..."

The girl folded the letter as if it were a precious treasure and put it in the drawer of her bedside table.

Inside this drawer of the bedside table, a large number of letters were neatly arranged, all of which were letters the girl had received over the years.

This is the girl's "treasure".

In addition, in the lower drawer of the bedside table, there was a dagger with its blade covered in dried blood.

This was not a weapon for the girl to defend herself, but a tool she used to "self-harm".

Every morning when she woke up, the girl would use this dagger to cut her wrists, trying to feel the "pain" of wanting but not getting what she wanted.

However, with hope dashed time and time again, the girl was gripped by despair every day.

Perhaps you should say the girl was very lucky, or perhaps you should say she was very unlucky. Although she suffered from a rare form of "painlessness," she never contracted the dreaded "tetanus" during her self-harm.

Chapter 253 Nina

knock knock!

A gentle knock on the door startled the girl, who was lost in thought.

Almost instinctively, the girl tugged at her sleeve to cover her left arm, which was wrapped in gauze.

"Who is it?"

"Nina, it's time for breakfast."

"Ok."

Nina responded obediently and then closed the bedside table drawer.

As she was about to leave the room, she seemed to remember something and subconsciously glanced back at the bedside table.

Nina wasn't looking at the drawer where the letters were kept, but rather at the drawer where the dagger was.

After much hesitation, she finally gave up the idea of ​​carrying a dagger with her.
