Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

And... the name Bianca...

When Otto was a child, his family took good care of him, but his eldest sister, who was also named Bianca, died young on the battlefield.

Furthermore, Bianca's hair turned blonde like that of the Apocalypse family as she grew older.

Leona could clearly sense Kallen's malice towards Otto.

She could even imagine the complex emotions Otto must have felt when Karen "mailed" Bianca to the Schicksal headquarters.

Closer to home.

Because of Bianca, Otto probably wanted to avoid a direct confrontation—after all, no matter how much effort he put into Bianca, she wasn't his child, nor was she the eldest sister in his memory.

"If Otto didn't know about Liu Bai's relationship with the Far East Branch, revealing this to Otto might change his strategy."

Leanna offered a suggestion.

To be honest, brains are important, but in the world of the supernatural, violence is even more important.

Betting on someone else's morality is like opening a blind box.

Even if someone is a good person, you shouldn't gamble on whether they'll be pushed to the limit.

In terms of combat strength, Otto's side has actually been completely overwhelmed, but Bianca is a miracle generator for Otto.

As long as Bianca doesn't betray him, Otto will genuinely try to create a miracle for her. So even though Otto knows he probably can't defeat Chi You's enemies, he's still willing to give it a shot.

But if Bianca also rebels... well, without a doubt, Otto will have exhausted all his strategies.

The only remaining outcomes are a respectable failure and an unrespectable failure.

As for the potential political maneuvering between Liu Bai and Otto afterward... that's not important.

Liu Bai was worried that Otto might kidnap civilians and drag a large number of innocent people into the mess, while Otto was probably also afraid that Liu Bai would go crazy and cause chaos.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bai's caution stems from the fact that once the blood of the people is stained, it is difficult to wash it away, not from the fact that Liu Bai's side lacks the ability to get stained with blood.

Otto had observed the rise and fall of events for five hundred years; given enough intelligence, he would naturally discover this.

Then he will realize that this is an absolute disadvantage.

The question on Liu Bai's side is whether to rule with dignity or with dishonor, while the question on Otto's side is whether to step down with dignity or die with dishonor.

If both sides truly understand each other's situation completely, it will create an awkward situation where everyone is entangled in confusion.

"Rita, you can also take this opportunity to sound out Bianca's opinion."

As expected of a mature and composed elder who knows both sides well, after a few words, both Liu Bai and Rita showed thoughtful expressions.

These suggestions... are truly invaluable.

"Then... Lady Leanna, do you think Otto will admit defeat?"

I hope he will.

Leanna's words brought a wry smile to Rita's face.

"But he's the kind of person who's proud... He might take a gamble in a dignified way."

"Decent..."

Liu Bai remembered Otto's original ending.

It is indeed very respectable.

“Fate has its good points too.”

Rita, for some unknown reason, said something to Fate.

"Of course, I've been in Destiny for a hundred or two hundred years, so I know this very well."

Leanna nodded.

History has proven that "apples can rot".

"Is a dynasty like an apple?"

Rita understood.

When an apple goes bad, you can't just point at it and say, "Think about how delicious it was before it went bad," can you?

Leanna smiled.

"Fortunately, the apple of destiny only had some blemishes, or rather, thanks to Otto, it only had some blemishes."

Chapter 420 Peaceful Sleep Under the Protection of Illusion

As the "Marshal of Destiny" who filled the gap in top-tier combat power between Kallen and Cecilia over the past one or two hundred years, Leanna naturally cannot deny the positive role of Destiny.

To be fair, without Otto, Destiny, as an outdated religious organization, should have perished five hundred years ago.

And without Otto's control over destiny... it's hard to say what the world would be like now.

But these things cannot cover up the fact that from Sirin onwards... even from the first Honkai, Otto began to do outrageous things, and even became an obstacle to the world.

—Although in Liu Bai's opinion, Otto is already better than the original work.

At least they don't have too many blood debts on their hands, and Cecilia has at least suppressed things in Siberia.

It's roughly the same as how the obsessive person who revived Kallen turned into an obsessive person who destroyed the Honkai... or so it seems.

"Let's not dwell on those old, trivial matters. As for destiny, Mr. Liu Bai has his own judgment."

Liu Bai nodded; Leanna was actually speaking well of Otto.

In short, the Heavenly Mandate is now very pure from the grassroots to the top.

Otto, at the top, was not entirely unforgivable.

Well, it's all thanks to Otto's different direction of obsession.

If Otto were to possess Reanna, severely injure Joyce, conduct human experiments to create Sirin, shatter Siberia with the Honkai Impact 3rd bomb, indirectly kill Cecilia, persecute Siegfried and his daughter, and then resurrect Sirin...

The false god was probably the most dignified way to leave the stage.

"I'll stop here and not spoil the mood for you two."

Leanna smiled and nodded to the two of them in farewell.

Rita blushed, a rare occurrence, after being told that by her idol.

"It seems that Ms. Leanna has been thinking a lot about the possible final battle."

Rita murmured to herself.

"After all, I've been in Destiny for so long, it's impossible for me to have no feelings for it at all."

Liu Bai nodded in agreement.

The main reason why Leona supports Einstein in the original work is because of her ideological differences with Otto, and because she is very unhappy with Fu Hua's deadpan expression, which she has tolerated for a hundred or two hundred years.

Einstein was full of youthful vigor, and his ideas suited her taste—more importantly, Otto seemed to be preparing to stifle these young people, so Leanna decisively switched sides and protected Einstein and others.

However, Fu Hua didn't serve in Schicksal a hundred years ago, and Leona simply disliked Otto and wanted to protect Einstein.

Regardless of which one, Leona's feelings about destiny are rather complex.

"However, I'm actually taking it one step at a time right now."

Liu Bai was waiting for Otto to make a move so he could counter it.

As for any "final battle"... Liu Bai wasn't in the mood for that.

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest."

"How's my room? The kind where I don't plan to make you any trouble."

……

"good evening."

“…Illusion?”

Liu Bai was somewhat bewildered as he looked at Huanlong in her palace attire and the ethereal palace surrounding him.

"what time is it now?"

"What time? You just went to sleep."

Huanlong lightly fanned herself with her fan and gave Liu Bai a disdainful look.

"Then this place is..."

"Your dream."

"……Oh."

Liu Bai remembered that he had made a promise with Huanlong before.

Try to have some pleasant dreams while you sleep.

"So, is the next part just for relaxation?"

"...I don't have time for you."

Huanlong fanned herself like a noblewoman, and rolled her eyes at Liu Bai.

This agreement was made to promote the relationship between the two parties.

However, Huanlong felt that their current relationship was alright—so the evil Lord of Annihilation prepared to break his promise.

"……Yeah?"

Liu Bai's lips twitched as he watched Huanlong's skirt involuntarily fall apart under the influence of hypnosis.

...Fortunately, in dreams, desires won't be aroused too outrageously.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't I have the highest authority over my dreams?"

"That's right—but do you know how to use it? And right now, I'm in your dream in my true form."

Huanlong rolled her eyes at Liu Bai.

She knew exactly what Liu Bai was thinking.

"You're incredibly audacious to think you could do that to the Great Lord of Annihilation... If it weren't for the special circumstances, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago."

"Isn't the Great Lord of Annihilation also a human being? Besides, Huanlong, you're very intelligent... and you have a good figure too."

"Humph."

To be honest, Huanlong didn't know which compliment she should be happy about: "having brains" or "having a good figure."

"You actually care about Suiyang's gender? You've really become quite vulgar."

The gender of the energy aggregate "Suiyang" depends mainly on the person it is parasitizing.

After all, the sun's energy is easily parasitized and can also be infiltrated in reverse.

After many years of consuming their hosts, their behavior patterns and even personalities become like those of their hosts.

Consequently, this "unconventional" behavior caused it to lose the ability to unite with other celestial bodies.

Of course, a large-scale Sun like Huanlong, even with an independent personality, doesn't need to worry about aggregation issues—because its massive size will indiscriminately devour and assimilate smaller Suns nearby.

"...It is indeed vulgar, but it is definitely beautiful."

Liu Bai tried to use cheesy pickup lines to attack Huanlong.

"...absolutely audacious."

Liu Bai's frankness left Huanlong speechless for a moment, and she subconsciously looked away from Liu Bai.

The favorability indicator also sounds frequently.

[Huanlong's Affection Level: 24 → 25]

Liu Bai and Huan Long's affection level was actually only 6 at its lowest point, but due to possession and involuntary feeding, it gradually rose to 24.

"By the way, Huanlong, why am I only dreaming about you now?"

"Have you thought about how many times you've slept soundly these past few days?"

Huanlong continued to roll her eyes at Liu Bai.
