Seeing the undisguised surprise on Wendy's face, Rita, who shouldn't have said anything, seemed to have found someone to talk to, and spoke softly to the girl in front of her. "In order to prevent him from going to the battlefield, I specially modified his test data so that he was not selected by the combat troops." "It's just a pity... There is an old saying in Shenzhou that gold will always shine." "Ayu has that idea and that ability. Even if I blocked him in secret, he still shone with an incomparably bright light." It’s a pity, Ayu, it’s because you are too dazzling that you are noticed by K423. As you have been noticed by K423, you will inevitably be implicated in Bishop Otto's plan in the future, and may even be in danger of death. Rita, who had suppressed her inner confusion, now felt that what she was doing was becoming more and more ridiculous after Wendy mentioned her brother. She is supposed to be the Valkyrie who protects the world, but now she is secretly helping Otto do some bad things. Although the reason she helped Otto was essentially because her parents were under the control of the other party, she had done it and no excuses could make her feel at ease. After all, the plan she helped Otto complete would threaten her colleagues, her best friend, her brother, and countless innocent people in the future.
Those who are unaware of Otto's thoughts but are used by him naturally do not have to bear the guilt. However, Rita, who knew Otto's plan but still assisted him in completing it, was undoubtedly a person who committed a serious crime in her own opinion. In the past, Rita certainly realized that she had done something wrong, but she had always used excuses like "the parents are in the hands of the other party" and "Lord Otto knows his limits" to get away with it. But people all have double standards. After realizing that her brother might be killed by Otto himself, Rita had to admit that she was anxious. After getting angry, Rita certainly couldn't just rush to Otto's office and slap Otto twice, shouting "I quit". The more anxious she was, the more she couldn't lose her composure. It is because of this that Rita, who was forced to face reality, realized how radical Otto's methods were. If the Fourth Honkai Impact breaks out near the city, and if Miss Yuno fails to meet Mr. Siegfried to stop her like Miss Mei did, then millions of innocent people will really die this time. Lady Bianca is okay. At least I can really feel from Lord Otto that he cares about Lady Bianca. But Ayu... Lord Otto doesn't care about the lives of civilians. So for Lord Otto, is there really any difference between Ayu and ordinary civilians? Trouble. I have too little information, and my IQ is far inferior to that of Lord Otto. I don't have enough strength and intelligence. As a chess piece, I want to jump out of the chessboard and play against Lord Otto... This is simply something that is almost impossible to accomplish. If I want to stop Lord Otto's atrocities, I need more allies. But the only ones who can contend with Lord Otto are Leader Walter of Anti-Entropy and the cadres of World Serpent.
But any contact with these people would be equivalent to assisting them in killing my colleagues... As she kept thinking, Rita discovered sadly that even if she knew that Otto had no intention of doing good things, she had no ability to stop him from moving forward. Moreover, can hostile organizations really be trusted? Anti-entropy is creating collapse and promoting the birth of the Herrscher, and the World Serpent is releasing the Judgment-level Collapse Beast to massacre Shenzhou. From this perspective, some cadres of the other two organizations are not much better than Otto in terms of "being a human being". As one of the top combat forces in the human race, Rita really feels that the humans in this world are pathetic. The group of people who reached the top had already fallen into madness. Walter Yang, the only one who didn't look crazy, was already a useless person. I have no ability, my boss is a bad guy, my teammates are deceiving, and my enemies are even more evil. The faster your mind works, the more despair you feel. At this point, no matter how hard Rita forced herself to keep calm, Wendy beside her could see that the expression on Rita's face became visibly ugly. "Senior Rossweisse?" Looking at Rita in front of her, Wendy asked worriedly. "Your face looks... getting uglier and uglier." "...I'm fine, Miss Wendy." At this moment, Rita forced herself to put away all the thoughts in her mind, and suddenly summoned her God-killing Armor and Skyfrost's Skadi. "Eh?!" "It's just a pity that the time for small talk is over." The next moment, the door in front of the two people suddenly seemed to be squeezed by something, and began to be squeezed into an alloy sphere from the middle. After the gate suffered this treatment, the two saw a stranger in a black robe appear in front of them. "As expected, Mr. Otto still has something to hide." Looking at the S-rank Valkyrie that appeared before him, Gray Snake, who had already moved to the interior of the Oceania branch, suddenly bowed deeply to Rita in front of him. "Ms. Rita Rossweisse, I have long heard of your great name. It is my honor to meet you today." "Oh, Mr. Gray Snake, you are really joking. As an intelligence dealer in the other world, you actually have the identity of a World Snake cadre. Rita is far less famous than you in this regard." "Ha, then that's the end of the pleasantries." At this time, ten clones of Joyce appeared behind the gray snake. And in the next moment, Gray Snake said something to Rita in front of him that shocked Wendy. "In fact, we at World Snake are now recruiting talents. As long as Miss Rita and Miss Wendy beside you are willing to join us, we will prepare corresponding remuneration and status for you."
"Excuse me, Ms. Rita and Ms. Wendy, are you interested in joining us World Snakes and saving the world with us?"
... Chapter 159. I’m really angry this time! Lin! Yu! Brother! Brother! "Would you two like to join us, the World Snakes, and help us save the world?" After hearing what Gray Snake said, Rita had already adjusted her body to be able to attack at any time. Although she could feel that the ten Herrscher clones behind them did not have Honkai energy strength that was beyond her reach. But as an S-class Valkyrie, Rita had certainly seen the intelligence that the former World Serpent cadre Xiola Natasha handed over to Tianming after her surrender. Gray Snake is not only an intelligence analyst within World Snake, but can also be said to be the current leader of World Snake. People like Gray Snake are definitely not brainless idiots. From his tone, Rita could already sense that Gray Snake had probably guessed that she would appear here. Well - in this situation, he still dared to come to the door, which shows that he is full of confidence in the combat power behind him. The strength of Honkai energy is not very high, so the problem lies in the power of this group of Herrscher clones. The clone that fought with Ayu last time can use the power of gravity manipulation... When Rita thought of this power, she felt that the enemy in front of her was too daunting. The power of gravity manipulation has a certain restraining effect on speed-type Valkyries like Rita. And now, what Rita has to do is not to defeat her opponent, but to escape with Wendy, which makes it even more difficult for her to move freely. Was there a misjudgment? Previously, I thought that if I acted recklessly with Wendy, it might be possible that... Looking at Rita's slightly tense body at this time, Gray Snake continued to invite Rita again with great sincerity. "Ms. Rita, I know you are thinking about tactics, but please believe me, what I just said is really sincere." "Oh, sincerity?" At this time, Rita continued to think about countermeasures while smiling and replying to Gray Snake. "Mr. Gray Snake wants me to change jobs, but I can't just rely on my mouth." "Lord Otto has been very good to my parents and me, and I personally have no complaints about his salary and benefits." "Under such circumstances, how can your so-called sincerity impress me?" "Well, regarding sincerity, you may have forgotten one thing..." At this moment, the scarlet prosthetic eye on the gray snake's head suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.
"——Your life and Miss Wendy's life are in my hands now." The moment Gray Snake said this, Rita's face changed. She pulled Wendy out of the wheelchair and threw her out with force. Then, Rita, who was wearing the God-killing armor, was crushed to the ground by the sudden gravity wave. "when......!" "While I was chatting with you, Miss Rita." At this time, the gray snake looked at Rita who had been suppressed by the gravity field. He walked up to her, squatted down, and said to Rita helplessly. "While you are contacting other members of the Oceania branch, I am also directing my soldiers to accumulate strength." "Their power is indeed far inferior to that of ordinary Pseudo-Hermaphrodites, but because of this, the fluctuations when they mobilize their power are not so easy to be detected." "After I attracted your attention with words, you were unaware of their actions, which was naturally within my calculations." After saying these words, Gray Snake changed his previous sincere and respectful attitude and adopted a sarcastic tone. "After all, Rita Rossweisse is in my intelligence network. Although she is an S-rank Valkyrie, your chances of winning against the Emperor-rank aren't that high." "As long as these soldiers under my command follow my command, it shouldn't be difficult to suppress a Valkyrie who is slightly stronger than the Emperor level." Looking at Rita who had been completely suppressed by the gravity wave, Gray Snake suddenly turned his gaze to the problem not far away. After being thrown out by Rita, Wendy did not say anything, but chose to try to escape immediately. As an A-rank Valkyrie, Wendy certainly wouldn't say something as stupid as "I want to fight with Rita-senpai." Since the opponent's target is her, she, as a burden, should escape quickly in her electric wheelchair as soon as the enemy reveals a flaw. It’s just a pity that after Wendy lay down near the spare electric wheelchair, she watched helplessly as the electric wheelchair was squeezed into a ball of scrap metal by the sudden gravity wave. "Ms. Wendy, it seems that you, like Ms. Rita, have not figured out the situation." Looking at Wendy who looked unwilling, Gray Snake continued to speak to the two of them. "Do you think I would be like the third-rate villain in the novel, exposing the principle of my plan simply because I had nothing to do after eating?" "I have said so much just to make you understand one thing - now, the power of life and death of the two of you is in my hands." "I hope you two will think it over carefully and not do anything stupid at this time." "you......!" At this time, Wendy took out the double guns from her waist and pointed the guns at the enemy in front of her. "If you shoot from this distance, you won't be able to dodge it!" "Ah, indeed, but..." Gray Snake, who had already ordered the Herrscher clones to open the protective barrier, looked at the bullets that hit the barrier and actually made cracks, and nodded slightly. "It's a pity. Although Miss Wendy is indeed a genius, you are still too young."
"If you are given a few more years, your strength will be enough to break through these shields and hurt me, thus turning the tide of the battle." "It's a pity that 'if' doesn't exist in reality." "Wendy, don't listen to him—" "Please take a break, Miss Rita." After using gravity waves to suppress Rita so that she was speechless, Gray Snake continued to speak slowly to Wendy. "Now, I could have just killed you and Miss Rita, but I didn't."
