"Attacks infused with Honkai energy, seamless quantum data transmission, quantumization of physical existence, coupled with their overwhelming numbers, and the potential for continuous upgrades as you progress... The complete form of the Hive System will be a formidable weapon."

"In the short term, they may not be able to halt the attack of an S-rank Valkyrie. However, with the right conditions, an endless number of units are enough to wear down any S-rank Valkyrie through a kite warfare tactic."

"That's because you haven't seen the true strength of Durandal."

Sigurd pursed his lips almost imperceptibly.

That girl who could be considered the scriptwriter's favorite daughter could chop through a typical Herrscher like cutting vegetables.

If he hadn't just recently come to this world, Sigurd would have definitely tried to capture her before Otto had the chance.

"Well, we've talked enough. It's late, and you have guests. Let's end it here for today. Goodnight!"

Otto terminated the communication.

...

At the Schicksal Headquarters.

After ending the call, Otto wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

In reality, his body made of Soul Steel didn't sweat so easily.

But engaging in a serious exchange of ideas and thoughts with others after such a long time gave Otto a sensation of exhilarating sweat.

"You seem very happy."

"He's a genius."

"I can see that."

"Therefore, his theories hold a high degree of credibility. Once they are realized, my long-held dream will be within reach!"

Covering his face with a single hand, Otto burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

After a long while, the laughter subsided, and Otto looked at his hands with a complex expression.

"A friend...?"

He murmured, feeling somewhat confused.

He referred to Fu Hua as an old friend and indeed had a special admiration and recognition for her—honestly speaking, if it weren't for her being unable to offer any help in reviving Kallen, Otto would consider Fu Hua more important than the vast Schicksal organization.

However, conversations that he had with Fu Hua were usually cold and discouraging. They lacked the exhilaration of intellect and wit, the mutual digging of pits and testing of each other, as well as the anticipation of further conversations that Otto experienced with Sigurd.

'So, what should a friend be like?'

Otto Apocalypse, who was over five hundred years old this year, asked himself silently in his mind, remaining speechless for a long time.

...

"Speak up, what brings you here, Cocolia?"

Sigurd closed his computer and looked towards the door, where Cocolia stood rigidly.
