It's already October, and Karen has finally returned from the front.

When Otto came to the institute in the morning, as usual, he saw a familiar figure.

"Yo, Karen. I haven't seen you for a long time" patted the other party from behind, and Karene was immediately alert. Grabbing Otto's arm gave him an over-the-shoulder throw.

"Eh, Otto"

"It hurts, you've grown a lot in the past six months."

“…… Can you find a place to talk?" Karenn looked around for a moment, then tightened the box in her arms.

"Follow me" Otto, who saw the black box, didn't talk nonsense, pulled Karene and walked inside.

When he arrived at his laboratory, Otto found a chair by the window and sat down, looking at the Honkai beasts that had been escorted back outside the window, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

"Is it this far?"

(At that time, there was no effective way to kill Honkaimon, and most of them were taken to a dungeon 500 meters underground.)

"What?" Karene asked suspiciously.

"Just talking to yourself, don't care. Sitting upright, Otto continued

"Then again, you really put it on." Otto held out his left hand and pointed to the ring on his ring finger that was the same as Karen's.

Hearing this, Karen couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly put her left hand behind her back.

"I just think it's a shame not to wear such a beautiful ring"

"Yes, yes, yes"

After such a break, Kalian's nervous mood couldn't help but ease.

"Your box, the Honkai energy reaction is almost 1000HW," Otto pointed to the black square box in Kalian's arms.

PS: HW, the unit of measurement of Honkai energy, the minimum condition for the birth of the Lawgiver is that the concentration of Honkai energy reaches 1000HW.

"Don't touch" dodging Otto's hand that wanted to touch the box, and Karen looked wary.

It seems that he decided to speak too impulsively, and casually explained, "The Kaslana family has absolute resistance to Honkai energy, so ......"

"I see, let's change the material." As he spoke, he quickly pulled out a similar black box.

"Obsidian?" Finally relieved, Karen placed the square box in her arms into the larger obsidian box.

"Now, can you talk about it, this black box."

"Well, it's no secret." After a moment of silence, Karen continued to speak.

"At that time, the expedition team had completed all the crusade tasks and was on the way back......"

Secret Technique: Scene Conversion Technique

In the forest, the Kalian team, having completed all the tasks, is returning to the headquarters. It was tiring, but everyone was smiling.

This time the crusade was a great success, and there were no casualties in this six-man squad alone, thanks to a series of resources provided by Otto.

"Naa, Karen. I've heard that these weapons and drugs were developed by your friends. Passerby A accosted Kalian in front of her.

“…… Hmph, he's always seen that he likes to tinker with all kinds of things" Karen looked smug, as if she was talking about her.

"Eh~ I heard that it's still your fiancé. I'm so envious, what's your name? ”

"Otto Apokalis, the third son of the Master" B, a passerby who walked in front of Kalian, also chimed in.

"Hey...... You guys! ”

The bound Honkai Beast behind it let out a roar, but it couldn't spoil the atmosphere in the team.

"Roar!" A loud roar was heard from behind the trees in the distance, followed by a rapid approach as if something was approaching.

"Spot the enemy! Ready for battle! The squad leader gave the order.

Just as she drew the pistol from her waist, the trees on her side were cut off, and a dead man with two knives rushed out.

"What? It's just a dead man. "Most of the dead are much weaker than the Honkai Beasts, which seems to have something to do with the upper limit of the Honkai energy in this body.

"How could an ordinary dead man cut down trees so easily, it's not good to ......" Karen, when she saw the number displayed by the detector of the Honkai energy concentration she carried with her, she realized that something was wrong.

"Honkai can react to the Imperial level, retreat quickly" Karen shouted to the Valkyrie who was approaching the dead, but it seemed too late.

————————————

"Emperor-level dead soldiers?!" Otto looked incredulous.

"That's right"

"So, it's that houseware," Otto pointed to the black box on the side, and Otto didn't have any interest in asking such a thing.

"Leave this thing to me, I'll lock it underground" The safest place to say in the Mandate of Heaven Headquarters is the basement of the research institute, a room made entirely of obsidian to isolate almost all Honkai energy.

"Then please."

"By the way, I have something to show you." As he spoke, he grabbed Karen and shot it towards the basement, placing the box in his hand along the way.

———— the main character on the move——————

"Slow down, what are you going to show me?" Karen, who was dragged behind, complained dissatisfiedly.

When she arrived at the underground laboratory, the first thing she saw was a red and gold armor in the center.

"What is this? You don't just want me to see this, do you? She stepped forward and knocked twice, and when she found nothing special, Karen turned her head with a look of a fool.

"Ahem, this is very powerful" Otto coughed dryly,

Locking the Honkai Crystal to the safe, Otto walked over to Karen's side.

The right hand part of the steel armor was removed, and Otto put it on his own hand.

"The armor is powered by Honkai energy, and you can think of it as a one-man combat weapon." Without much explanation, Ottopine raised his hands......

Then only a "coaxing" sound was heard, and a five-centimeter-thick steel plate on his side was instantly pierced.

"I've limited my ......"

"Wow, that's cool. Is there anything superfluous? With this kind of strength, Honkai beasts below the Thor level can easily handle it. "Kalian's eyes twinkle with her little star, and my Judas is a scumbag in comparison, at least not in terms of special effects.

With a disgusted face, he pushed away Kalian who was sticking to himself, and I didn't expect you to be like this.

"Don't rejoice too early, because of energy problems, it only has a battery life of 30 minutes, and this is still when there is no large-scale operation. In addition, the hardness of the armor is not ideal."

"Hey, what's that? It's just weak. ”

"Aha, huh? Do you want me to put it on and act with you? Otto was upset by others for his research results, which took him half a year to develop. Although the idea is from a certain blockbuster in the United States.

"Well, I'm sorry, I just said it casually."

"You're scared! White-haired foodie"

Hearing this, a cross appeared on Kalian's head, and her fists clenched.

"Come, who's afraid of whom! You're squatting at home! ”
