Chapter 1124 The Clown

After an inhumane torture, Zijing couldn't help but tell the information she got in her dream.

Originally, it was best for only oneself to know the information about "oneself". However, Sakura could confirm whether one was hiding anything through the sound of one's heartbeat, so Amethyst had no choice but to reveal everything.

"Oh~ So that's how it is…"

Alicia tapped her cheek with her fingers, thinking, "It seems that our judgment is correct. Although your body is the result of destiny's experiment, as expected, an interesting soul has entered this originally empty shell~?"

"…Is it Li?" Kosmo asked.

"I don't know, as a candidate for Li... Next, let's go to Siberia to arrest that naughty boy~?" With a clearer direction, Alicia was full of fighting spirit, but Sakura poured cold water on her.

"That person is also very likely lying. After all, if he really wanted to kill Zijing, he wouldn't have to answer these questions, and he wouldn't have let him escape from the dream so easily."

"That's true, but this child is the only one who saw him in his dream, so we can only proceed on the premise that the Herrscher is not lying, right?" Alicia said.

"... [Trial], is it a life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, or a fair competition in the arena?"

"The winner possesses everything, while the loser will be devoured... I prefer to raise a Gu."

"After their fight, will Li's whereabouts become clear? Or is this just the beginning?"

While the three were discussing, Theophile walked over to Amethyst, who was curled up on the ground, clutching the soles of her feet, and found that he was also thinking quietly.

Competition, fight to the death... No matter what the relationship between me and those guys is, no matter what the relationship between me and that guy named Li is... Only one thing is certain, that is, I must survive.

……

"You look very embarrassed, Lord Anti-Entropy Leader?"

At the Anti-Entropy temporary base in Siberia, a man in a white suit and a clown mask walked in, passed through the layers of defense of the mecha, and came to the bedside of the seriously injured Walter. Tesla and Einstein, who provided timely support and repelled the Second Herrscher, were observing the man on the side.

"Who are you?" Walter was wrapped in bandages all over his body, especially his abdomen, which was the most seriously injured and now there was bright red blood oozing out.

"The destined bishop, Mr. Otto Apokalis, would actually come here in person?" Einstein directly revealed his identity.

"Can't you come and see an old friend?"

The clown mask on Otto's face concealed his expression, but his voice was full of teasing, "Oh, no, now it seems that my old friend has been dead for a long time, and you are just a new body that inherited his power."

"Hmph, who would believe your nonsense?" Tesla said unhappily. He could feel the anger just by hearing the tone of the blond man in front of him.

Otto paced slowly. "You Anti-Entropy suffered heavy losses this time. Even you, the First Herrscher who is the leader of Anti-Entropy, were almost killed by the Second Herrscher... Not to mention that there is another Herrscher whose true identity has never been revealed."

Obviously, the black-haired boy who had fought Walter earlier was also just a clone.

"Don't worry about it, we will handle it ourselves." Tesla crossed his arms and glared at Otto.

"That won't do. After all, I am still the bishop of destiny. Besides, what if I say I can help you?" Otto stopped.

Everyone was stunned.

"Are you so kind?" Tesla pushed up his glasses and asked doubtfully.

"Of course not for free." Otto chuckled, "I want all the information you have about Li."

"Li? The person who doesn't exist and whom you have been looking for?" Einstein asked.

"He exists and has never disappeared. I have taken many wrong paths. The reason I cannot find him now is simply because I have not found the right way."

Otto corrected him first, then continued, "The Herrscher who has never appeared also calls himself Li. I came here for this reason, and nothing more."

"...Unfortunately, Mr. Otto, as you just said, we haven't even seen the Herrscher's true form, so we naturally can't provide you with the information you need." Einstein was a little curious about what kind of assistance Otto would provide, but they couldn't give him what he needed.

"This is a deal, and I trust your character, so I will pay you first and help you get rid of the second Herrscher. As for the Herrscher who calls himself Li... you can slowly look for information about him later. Of course, if you are able to [shoot him down] for me, I can also pay you extra."

Tesla and Einstein looked at each other. Although they had doubts in their hearts, the threat from the two Herrs obviously could not be ignored. Finally, they looked at Walter and left the decision to him.

Walter was silent for a while, his eyes stayed on Otto for a moment, and then he slowly said: "If you can really provide effective help and are willing to help us solve the problem of the second Herrscher first, then we can try to cooperate. But I can't guarantee that I will be able to find information about the other Herrscher afterwards."

Otto smiled slightly, took off his clown mask, and showed a sly smile: "I believe in your abilities. The members of Anti-Entropy are all elites, especially the current leader of Anti-Entropy. I also believe that you will do your best."

Tesla and Einstein exchanged glances, as if to confirm each other's ideas. Finally, Tesla nodded and said, "Okay, as the leader said, we accept your proposal. However, if we find that you have any deception, we will not let you go easily."

Otto raised his hands to show his understanding: "Don't worry, I won't let you down. Now, let's focus on solving the problem of the Second Herrscher."

The deal was done, and Otto left Anti-Entropy's base. Slowly, his face became gloomy.

It was not his plan to cooperate with Anti-Entropy. The best partners should have been those from Moth, and he did know that they came here and participated in this battle.

But when he found the magician girl hiding in the dark and observing everything, she chose to refuse.

In her opinion, her abilities were totally insignificant and there was no need for cooperation. The people of [Moth] were capable enough to solve this disaster on their own.

The people of Destiny were helpless when they simply encountered the Honkai Beasts, and their rare high-end combat power was directly toyed with by the clone of the Herrscher.

Otto wants power, not just the overall power of Destiny, he also wants to increase his personal power.

Without any strength, all he could rely on was his fragile brain.
