Having reached an agreement, Inaba Tsukiyo began to explain what was needed for Spirit summoning. First was the building that connected to gaia's Throne of Heroes.
Although this building was called the Throne of Heroes, it was not the Throne of Heroes itself, but merely served as a link to this world.
No special materials were required; it only needed to be built in a sufficiently safe place, ensuring that the building would not be damaged.
She had no interest in the position of Schicksal's Grand Overseer that Otto offered. What she wanted had always been Victorica.
So when Otto heard that Inaba Tsukiyo didn't want the position of Schicksal's Grand Overseer, he looked at her with some surprise.
Then, upon learning from Inaba Tsukiyo that she was not from this world, Otto was even more at a loss for words.
However, from the previously collected information about Inaba Tsukiyo, it was evident that apart from her time as a mercenary in Russia, there were almost no records of her earliest memories.
If she came from another world, then it would be understandable why Schicksal couldn't find the reason for Inaba Tsukiyo's birth.
"So, Miss Inaba, you are from another world, and your previous world was full of zombies?"
"Yes, the kind of slow-moving zombies you see in movies. It's just that these zombies gained the ability to evolve after getting some kind of energy. If this energy isn't destroyed, the zombies will continue to evolve."
The abnormal energy in the previous world had no host; simply destroying this power would cause an explosion, so Inaba Tsukiyo could only absorb the vast energy herself.
This world is a bit better; the special energy belongs to the will of honkai, and the will of honkai then grants this energy to the Herrschers.
Abnormal energy with a host doesn't absorb human negative emotions to empower itself, but this also makes the Herrschers even stronger.
However, humanity also gains more advanced technology from fighting Herrschers, which can be seen as a form of compensation.
"I don't want to be the Archbishop of Schicksal. If I really were to manage Schicksal, it probably wouldn't be long before Schicksal fell into chaos, with the heads of various continental branches declaring independence, and then Honkai taking the opportunity to invade."
Speaking of this, Inaba Tsukiyo reached out and pointed at Otto, her tone somewhat helpless.
"Although you've done many bad things, your abilities are commendable. The fact that you can manage Schicksal so well shows that you are talented."
(fuhai: Of course! The title of First Green-Haired Man isn't just for show; Otto isn't some comical character; he's genuinely talented. Besides his luck with women, Otto can do anything.)
It's just that his later plans were very unpopular, whether it was cloning Kiana or letting Cecilia die.
"I'll take those as compliments. So, what you want me to do is protect this world?"
"Yes, that's why I came to this world. Since you have this ability, I hope you can protect this world. Of course, not through your old methods, otherwise Kallen would surely slap you hard across the face."
Just like Kallen slapped Otto when he was a Boy and when he was a young man, if Otto really dared to cause trouble, Kallen would not let him off.
"Oh, right, do you really not consider becoming a girl? Didn't you specially put on women's clothing to attract the guards' attention so Kallen could recover the gold coins? Aren't you using a mechanical body? Changing to a girl's body isn't impossible. Maybe if you become a girl, Kallen might even fall for you."
Then Kallen wouldn't need to hunt Honkai Beasts every day; dealing with Otto and Yae Sakura's quarrels would probably be enough to give her a headache.
(Kallen: Stop fighting, both of you!)
"You want to see me become a girl that much? And why do you think I, as a Boy, can't compare to that girl named Yae Sakura?"
Otto found it strange. He wasn't some shut-in otaku or a mad scientist; he was quite a handsome man. Why did Inaba Tsukiyo think he was no match for Yae Sakura?
Now Schicksal was under his control, and he had mastered the technology of the previous civilization; he didn't need to conduct any so-called human experiments. There was no reason for him to make Kallen angry!
(fuhai: As the First Green-Haired Man, whether you'd lose to Yae Sakura, don't you have some idea in your heart?)
"That's not my problem. If you want to see Sakura and Kallen interact, then you can ignore my words. If you want to make a change, it's best to listen to my advice."
With that, a spatial gate appeared behind Inaba Tsukiyo.
She had stayed at Schicksal long enough; if she didn't go back soon, they would discover something was wrong.
"Remember, when I come next time, prepare something related to Kallen. This is a holy relic for summoning Heroes; don't find something unrelated to Kallen. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won't be responsible, okay?"
After saying that, Inaba Tsukiyo walked into the spatial gate and disappeared before Otto's eyes.
Staring at the spot where Inaba Tsukiyo had left, her words kept replaying in Otto's mind.
Should he compete for Kallen as a Boy against Yae Sakura, or should he become a girl to win Kallen's affection?
The latter had a high success rate. Although he couldn't admit it, the girls of the Kaslana Family seemed to have a yuri bloodline, just like Kiana.
Although Kiana and Raiden Mei's relationship was related to his secret designs, Kiana's strong interest in Raiden Mei also made him begin to suspect if the Kaslana Family's bloodline was all like this.
Otto pondered in the room for a long time, and it wasn't until his secretary Amber came to find him in the evening that Otto returned to his room.
Entering Schicksal's database, Otto created another plan in the place where he adjusted his body.
This body would not have powerful strength or special abilities; it would simply be a female body made from his blood.
Of course! It must be emphasized here that Otto did not want to become a female; this was merely a backup plan.
If he really needed to use such means to interact with Kallen in the future, then he wouldn't need to spend time creating a new body; he could just use this spare one.
For some reason, images of her wearing a skirt in the past, and Kallen's beautiful figure, appeared in Otto's mind.
If he really had to adjust a girl's body, then at least in terms of appearance, he absolutely couldn't lose to Yae Sakura; he had to attract Kallen's attention.
With a sweep of his left hand, a full-body photo of Yae Sakura appeared before him. Otto carefully observed Yae Sakura's appearance, constantly making relevant adjustments with his hands.
First, her figure, then her long hair, and other related things. Since he was going to create it, Otto wanted to produce the most excellent body.
Returning to her Anti-Entropy room, Inaba Tsukiyo jumped onto the bed. Remembering her interaction with Otto just now, she couldn't help but laugh.
She had originally thought it would take some time, but Otto agreed to the plan so easily and even cooperated so actively.
If she wasn't mistaken, Otto was already actively working on his feminized body, right?
Kallen and Cecilia could be revived. Through the method of Heroes, they could return to the real world again.
But they would disappear from the Stigmata, the Stigmata on Inaba Tsukiyo's back would also disappear, and their powers would vanish.
However, this would allow them to live again and make up for their regrets in life. Inaba Tsukiyo thought this was good, and they could also help her protect this world.
"Hey~ Seele, I also plan to revive you as a Hero. Then you can meet Bronya."
She hadn't forgotten Seele, who had accompanied her first. Although Seele's merits were not yet enough for her to be called a Hero, if she just worked a little harder, there would definitely be a way.
"But then, Tsukiyo-neechan will leave this world, leave me and Bronya-neechan, right?"
Although she could be revived again, Inaba Tsukiyo would leave this world, which made Seele a bit conflicted.
On one hand, she wanted to meet Bronya; on the other hand, she didn't want to be separated from Inaba Tsukiyo.
"Silly girl, even if I leave this world, we can still meet in the future. I'm only leaving temporarily; I can't rest assured about you two. If I need your help, I can summon you too."
No one knew what would happen in the future, but she couldn't abandon Bronya and Seele.
Perhaps when she completed her mission, alaya would let her meet her past companions.
Since that was the case, she didn't need to worry so much about separation; perhaps the time for their next meeting would come soon.
Although that was true, Seele's mood was still a bit low, and it took Inaba Tsukiyo a great deal of effort to calm Seele down.
The construction of the Throne of Heroes was steadily progressing under Otto's organization, located on the sky island of Schicksal Headquarters.
The most dangerous place was the safest place, and Schicksal Headquarters was located in the sky.
Even if someone wanted to cause trouble, they would need the ability to reach such a high place.
By the time these people flew into the air, Schicksal's equipment would have already detected these invaders and shot them down with Schicksal's weapons.
Inaba Tsukiyo did not tell anyone about this matter. It wasn't until Otto was ready to build the Throne of Heroes and found Kallen's holy relic that Inaba Tsukiyo came to Schicksal Headquarters again.
"Is this the holy relic you found? Isn't this Six-Night Overture?"
The dress Kallen wore when she disguised herself as a phantom thief was the one Otto held in his hand. Inaba Tsukiyo hadn't expected Otto to choose this dress as the holy relic to summon Kallen.
(fuhai: He's planning to summon an S-rank Kallen! What an idea!)
"This is the dress Kallen wore back then. I have kept it well for the past five hundred years. If you really need something related to Kallen, then this dress should be able to establish a connection with Kallen."
Otto had kept all of Kallen's belongings, whether it was the clothes she used to wear or the items she used.
(fuhai: Including her panties? Hentai!!)
Inaba Tsukiyo took the dress, caressing the garment Kallen once wore. Neither the material nor any other aspect showed damage, indicating Otto had protected it very well.
Actually, asking Otto to find the dress was just an excuse. The real holy relic was the Stigmata on Inaba Tsukiyo's body.
As long as Inaba Tsukiyo stood on the magic circle, Kallen could be summoned.
"Everything is ready. Let's begin the summoning ritual now."
