Otto was extremely satisfied with the current situation in Nagazora City.
Siegfried was forced by his Overt Scheme to work for him.
And when Siegfried encounters the soon-to-awaken Raiden Mei, as long as he doesn't choose to kill her on sight, the awakened Raiden Mei, with her Herrscher power, will basically be able to secure a win against the now one-armed Siegfried.
Even if Siegfried's power is stronger than I estimated, and he manages to force a stalemate where both are grievously wounded, for me—that's even better!
If Siegfried is crippled, I can recover the Judgment of Shamash.
If the Herrscher of Thunder is crippled, I can recover the Conquest Gem, and possibly even an awakened Herrscher.
If they both get crippled, I can get my hands on both sides' assets immediately.
No matter what, I can't lose in this situation.
The only difference is between winning and winning big.
And as for Leo Ash... hehe, this young man is even more outstanding than I imagined.
He is working hard to complete his mission, and he has successfully made contact with K423.
Although I couldn't survey what exactly happened at the TV station tower, based on their continuous acceleration on the road, they were the ones being chased.
Leo Ash was driving the motorcycle, which basically confirms that it was Leo Ash who went to rescue K423.
The young man desperately saved the young girl, and after that, the two began their journey as fugitives to escape the enemy's pursuit.
This script is even more brilliant than the one I had prepared.
I had originally planned for them to start cultivating their relationship after they got to St. Freya.
But now, thanks to the suspension bridge effect, as long as Leo Ash acts normally, even if he has no idea how to pick up girls, he can make K423 develop feelings for him.
This young man is truly a lucky charm for me.
I didn't expect him to achieve much, but now it seems his operational capabilities are far greater than I imagined.
Rita really found a good prospect.
And on Anti-Entropy's side... the current Anti-Entropy is basically stabbing itself with a knife.
I've already had Ghost and a bunch of intelligence personnel start building momentum. Next, as long as we fully publicize what Cocolia has done, the remaining neutral nations will side with us.
My nemesis Welt will definitely not be able to sit still. If I can capture him then, my gains from this Honkai Eruption will be immense.
The Conquest Gem will most likely return to my hands.
The Judgment of Shamash and Siegfried are basically not getting away either.
Welt Yang has a very high probability of appearing on the battlefield, and his current strength is far inferior to Joyce's at his peak. Durandal plus Theresa should be able to take him down.
Anti-Entropy's reputation will be in the mud, and those neutral nations that do not accept our or Anti-Entropy's protection will no longer look kindly on Anti-Entropy.
K423 has come into contact with Leo Ash and Raiden Mei, who may become important people to her.
And Leo Ash is my man.
Even my two old subordinates who can't grow taller, as long as they are as naive as ever, they might even let their Titans fight with Cocolia's forces.
After all, they are good people, and good people cannot just watch Cocolia act so atrociously. This way, Anti-Entropy will even start to suffer from internal strife.
If I can successfully achieve any one of these results, I will be very satisfied.
And now, it's not that I'm being too greedy, but the reality is—this time, I have a high probability of taking all the chips.
It's hilarious.
If I weren't the Bishop of Schicksal myself, I would even suspect that Cocolia was an ace spy I sent over.
"Um, Lord Otto..."
Watching the Bishop's lips curl up uncontrollably, Amber said cautiously.
"Your expression..."
"Ha, my apologies, Amber. I lost my composure."
Reining in his inner ecstasy, Otto shook his head lightly.
*Must not laugh.*
*Not yet.*
*Continue to monitor Leo Ash.*
*If his contact with K423 continues to go well, then I can add some pressure on them.*
*After all, the suspension bridge effect also requires danger. Only in a dangerous situation...*
*Will K423 grow closer to Leo Ash.*
.....
After speeding for a while, Leo Ash felt that the things in front of him were getting blurrier.
Having activated the mentally taxing skill Mind Like Still Water multiple times, and also having used Galactica Phantom several times, Leo Ash felt his consciousness growing dimmer.
"Senior, are you... alright?"
Feeling the motorcycle wobbling a bit, Kiana said softly to Leo Ash.
"Why don't we... find a place to rest for a bit?"
"From the looks of it, Cocolia's pursuers probably haven't caught up. We don't need to be so tense."
"Ah, hold on."
*System, you there?*
[Nope.]
*Oh, I get it.*
*Looks like no one has caught up since then...*
Once he realized he was completely safe, Leo Ash's tense nerves began to relax.
And the moment he relaxed, Leo Ash suddenly felt his vision go black.
Slamming on the brakes, Leo Ash barely managed to prevent a tragic accident from befalling them.
But the moment the bike stopped, the exhausted Leo Ash completely fell off the bike and collapsed on the ground.
And before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear some sounds.
But in the instant he completely fainted, Leo Ash couldn't be bothered with such trivial details anymore.
"Senior!"
Seeing Leo Ash fall to the ground, Kiana immediately rushed to his side in concern.
Then, after confirming that Leo Ash had only fainted from extreme fatigue, Kiana finally relaxed a little.
"Sigh, I was hoping to ask you why you knew I was at the TV station tower, and how you know about things like Honkai Beasts."
"But now..."
Looking at Leo Ash's peaceful, weary face, Kiana helplessly lifted him up and carried him to a nearby bench.
"Forget it, I'll let you get some proper rest."
"When you wake up..."
"This young lady will definitely ask you about all these things, and get a clear answer!"
