However, her swearing didn't last long, because the next second, the screen displayed
[Tesla has been muted by the host…]
---------------------------------------
Then, under the focus of everyone's gaze, the figures of Otto and Welt appeared in the live broadcast room. At this moment, they were in a pure white space, unusually empty and silent.
Otto looked around and showed a delighted smile on his face, casually waving his hand to greet Welt,
"Hi~ Welt~"
Welt stood not far away, his eyes locked tightly on Otto, a glimmer flashing in them as he slowly raised his hand and chanted, "Star of Eden, zero rated power, 'Pseudo Black Hole' release!"
As Welt's voice fell, a powerful energy surge gushed from his hand. However, the expected black hole did not appear as anticipated.
Welt's expression instantly turned to shock. He widened his eyes, staring at his own hands in disbelief, seemingly unable to understand why the 'Pseudo Black Hole' didn't work.
Otto, however, seemed as though he had expected this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a smug smile.
He gently shook his head, then spread his hands and said in a mocking tone, "Oh my, what a pity, Welt. In this space, no power can be used, hahaha~"
Welt clenched his teeth tightly, glaring at Otto, whose face was arrogant and deliberately provoking.
Since the Herrscher of Reason's power could not be used, then he could only…
Thinking this, Welt resolutely strode forward toward Otto, steady and determined.
Otto crossed his arms leisurely, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc, and he said sarcastically, "Oh ho~ It seems you didn't choose to give up but instead came closer to me on your own."
The two faced off like needle against needle, the air seemingly frozen, and a heavy gunpowder smell quietly spread in the silence, like the oppressive feeling before a storm.
Fu Lin blinked, somehow conjuring a box of popcorn, handing one to Kiana☆, then hugging a bucket for himself, excitedly saying,
"Dear viewers, it's clear that Otto and Welt have held grudges for a long time. It looks like besides singing and performance, we're about to see a splendid real man's fist-to-flesh battle!"
Fu Shi cheered happily, 〈Yay! Fight! Fight!〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Grandpa, go for it, don't embarrass our Schicksal!〉
Einstein, 〈Yang, Dr. Tesla says, if you can't beat Otto, just stay in the Sea of Quanta and don't come back.〉
Everyone, 〈...〉
Fu Hua smiled and continued, "For fairness, I've already adjusted Otto's Soulium body senses to a normal human level. Now, it's really hard to say who will win! Let's wait and see!"
In the field, just as they were about to close in, Welt suddenly burst out, punching toward Otto's face, shouting, "Otto! My daily relentless sit-ups and body training were all for today!"
Otto dodged sideways, Welt's fist grazing Otto's coat, bringing a faint airflow.
Taking advantage, Otto raised his leg and kicked toward Welt's abdomen, fast and fierce, full of power.
Welt reacted quickly, retreating a few steps to avoid the strike.
They distanced themselves again, cautiously staring at each other.
Otto still wore that mocking smile, brushing off nonexistent dust from himself, and said, "Welt, without the Herrscher of Reason's power, you're nothing more than this~"
Welt snorted coldly, said nothing, adjusted his stance, and dashed toward Otto, swinging his right hand toward Otto's head again.
Otto quickly ducked, dodged the strike, and seized Welt's arm, giving it a powerful throw.
Relying on strong bodily coordination, Welt flipped midair and landed steadily not far away.
The live audience erupted, cheering and shouting in excitement.
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Otto's combat awareness is not weak and his reflexes are quick, while Welt, although he exercises daily, seems slightly stiff in battle sense.〉
Kallen, 〈Go Otto!〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈I knew Grandpa was strong. Anti-Entropy, just wait until your leader gets beaten down by Grandpa!〉
Einstein frowned, watching the screen, secretly worrying for Welt, but still rebutted, 〈...It's not certain who will win until the end.〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Hmph, if Grandpa loses, I'll stop drinking--!〉
Fu Shi jumped up excitedly, 〈Keep fighting! Keep fighting!〉
Otto stared at Welt, his smile gradually disappearing, replaced by a hint of seriousness.
This time, Otto took the initiative to attack, rushing forward with quick punches aimed at Welt's chest.
Welt quickly blocked with his arms, then used the gap when Otto retracted his fist to kick fiercely at Otto's legs.
Otto hurriedly jumped back, dodging the kick.
They exchanged blows, neither yielding, seemingly evenly matched.
Just when everyone thought the two would keep dragging it out, with Otto likely winning due to his Soulium body, something unexpected happened.
Otto suddenly exposed a flaw, which Welt seized upon, throwing him to the ground with full force.
They rolled a few times before Welt mounted Otto, his fist wrapped in forceful wind, crashing into Otto's face with a loud bang.
At that moment, Welt finally experienced the crisp, pleasant sound Fu Shi had described.
The sound was like heavenly music, instantly uplifting Welt's mood.
Thus, he became even more excited, punching repeatedly with full strength into Otto's face, sweat dripping from his forehead onto Otto.
Seeing this, Fu Lin announced, "The match is decided. Unfortunately, our Ex-Bishop Otto has lost. Let's congratulate contestant Welt!"
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Grandpa, your sandbagging was way too obvious!〉
Einstein, 〈Time to fulfill your promise, Bishop Theresa.〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Can we negotiate?〉
Einstein, 〈You must be joking, right?〉
Siegfried smugly, 〈Hahaha, shorty got rekt! Hahahahahaha...〉
...
Fu Lin smiled faintly, eyes shifting between the two, finally resting on their faces, asking, "How are you two feeling? Ready for the punishment phase?"
Otto came to himself and replied, "I'm fine."
Welt hesitated slightly, then nodded, indicating he was also fine.
Music slowly began, a melodious prelude filling the broadcast room.
Welt, under Fu Hua's signal, reluctantly opened his mouth first, his Anti-Entropy accent slipping out, his voice deep and magnetic,
"Always asking from you, never saying thank you~"
"Only after growing up, did I understand your hardships~"
After two lines, Otto joined with his usual elegant tone (authentic Schicksal bishop accent) interpreting the song Father.
"Every time I leave, I always pretend, to be relaxed~"
"Smile and go back, but tears soak my eyes when I turn around~~"
Welt, with clenched teeth, followed along, but due to his anger and frustration, sounded slightly awkward, "How I wish I could hold your warm hands like before~"
Otto closed his eyes, fully immersed, "But you are not by my side, I send the breeze to bring you peace~"
For a while, they both sang hard, trying to keep rhythm and pitch with each other, but beneath the surface lurked hidden danger.
Their cooperation was like two trains on parallel tracks, one running normally, the other constantly trying to derail and crash into it.
The live audience reacted differently.
Fu Shi widened her eyes, surprised that Welt actually sang.
Fu Hua frowned slightly, arms crossed, quietly listening with complex emotions in her eyes.
Kiana and Mei were dumbfounded, listening attentively.
Tesla grabbed her twin tails, shaking her head frantically, shouting, "This world is fake, I must be dreaming!!!"
Welt & Otto, "I hope time slows down, don't let you grow old~"
Welt & Otto, "I'm willing to give everything I have, to keep your years forever~"
As the song progressed, the tension between Otto and Welt became even more apparent.
Otto indulged in his singing, raising his volume, while Welt struggled to suppress his surging anger, almost about to explode.
Welt, "Strong-willed father, what can I do for you~"
Welt, "Please accept my insignificant care~"
Welt, "Thank you for everything you did, holding up our... home, , damn! The more I endure, the angrier I get; the more I step back, the more wronged I feel. Otto, die!"
With that, Welt punched toward the unsuspecting Otto again, plunging the scene into chaos once more.
Everyone's gaze shifted to Fu Lin, and the once noisy live broadcast room gradually quieted.
