There are always such plots in many works.
The protagonist group has been working hard for this huge organization, and halfway through the story, it was discovered that it was actually the biggest shady one.
However, the protagonist group has been fighting with them, and the desperate enemy is instead a resistance organization fighting for the world. With this kind of classic reversal of the kingly way, Gao Qi can easily come up with a plot or two.
Anti-Entropy is like this, no matter whether in Honkai Gakuen 2 or Honkai Impact 3, they were enemies from the beginning, and Gauken even had a worldline restart. Compared to Welt in the New Life Timeline, Otto seems to be a kind and good person.
However, in Honkai 3rd, the Anti-Entropy Radicals have all to blame—and indeed they should bear it, while the "old antiques" of the A.E conservatives are truly protecting the world.
Not only should they fight against the Honkai, but also the means to fight the Honkai that wouldn't harm human beings like how Schicksal and the Radicals of A.E. did!
Look at the Valkyries who died in Otto's Herrscher Gem experiment, and the children who died in the Anti-Entropy X-10 experiment, is that something that humans should do!
However, as the saying goes, you should always point the gun at the good guys. Since standing in the protagonist's camp, Anti-Entropy has been beaten a lot.
But this does not prevent Gao Qi from admiring them, among other things - not only Einstein and Tesla, but also Schrödinger, Edison, and Planck, all of them are human geniuses, and each of them are a beauty.
Anti-Entropy is also Gao Qi's ideal ally - as long as you stand on the opposite side of the Honkai, Anti-Entropy will always be your friend.
And when that soft and lazy familiar voice appeared in Gao Qi's ears, he knew that his best partner was coming.
Soon, a holographic projection was transmitted from a communicator at Siegfried's waist, and a girl with blue hair and blue pupils appeared.
"Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lieserl Albert Einstein - the greatest scientist in human history, the embodiment of a genius, the person who changed the way humans perceive the world."
With his right hand on his chest and his left on his side, Gao Qi bowed deeply to Einstein, pretending to be an announcer on the stage.
"Of course, compared to these scientific achievements, the most praiseworthy thing is the love between you and the First Herrscher—look, everyone is praising the power of love, maybe love will become a bridge for us to reconcile with Honkai? "
Gao Qi clearly saw that the beautiful girl in her 60s frowned unobtrusively after hearing his words.
"You know a lot, Mr. Gao Qi, but the problem we are facing is the Second Herrscher, and the relationship between me and the former Anti-Entropy leader does not have the complicated connection you imagined—the impulse from hormones does not bring any power boost."
However, Einstein, who is an executor of Anti-Entropy after all, has many years of experience, did not react to Gao Qi's "provocation", and remained calm.
"We great scientists don't like our love story to become someone else's talk, so let's change the topic."
Like a philistine businessman, Gao Qi put his thumb and middle finger together in front of his chest, bent out to the size of a coin, and proposed a deal again.
"Are you interested in knowing the whereabouts of Mr. Welt Yang? Just for a small price."
In his previous life, Gao Qi liked the naughty old woman sticking out her tongue very much. Even if she became a beautiful girl who kept being young forever in the Honkai world, Gao Qi didn't mind teasing her more.
"No, please forgive me for refusing. I think that Anti-Entropy will not be able to give a fair trade for the time being—but, Mr. Siegfried, we can at least be sure that he is not with Otto."
Since the end of the Second Honkai War, Anti-Entropy has been in touch with Siegfried and Theresa. Both of them know that they are the ones who really want to protect the world from the hands of the Honkai, and they are always on guard against Otto's ambitions.
However, Einstein didn't think that Siegfried would suddenly introduce such a man like the devil to her.
'Dealing with the devil, even if I know that the final result was to sell your soul, there are countless people rushing to it.'
When he said Yang's name, Einstein did have the urge to ask for a moment, but the rationality of the scientist calmed her down—fortunately, a certain red-haired ponytail girl was not there.
"It's a pity, forget it, since you called, I will tell you the story of the MANTIS Warriors. You all have the Divine Keys in your hands, so naturally, you know about the Previous Era..."
After a while, Gao Qi told Siegfried about the setting of the MANTIS.
Knowing that his own power is from the people of the Previous Era who fused humans and Honkai Beasts in desperation and launched a crusade against Herrschers, and finally passed their genes to modern times, Siegfried heaved a sigh of relief—at least it wasn't anything like a Family curse.
"Then, here comes the problem, our Overseer wants to hold the power of the Kaslana family's bloodline in his own hands - K-423 is a well-behaved and sensible girl, who looks very similar to Kiana, and she will be a great figure in the future." An excellent warrior who has mastered the powers of a Herrscher."
After the gossip, Gao Qi rubbed his hands and looked at these people who were destined to do one thing in history.
"I believe that Anti-Entropy, definitely wants to stop this—then Siegfried, in order to take away K-423 and give Kiana an extra sister, you are willing to tear your relationship with Otto, risking being chased and killed by Schicksal forever, leaving this stable life now?"
The rest of the question is to see whether Siegfried and Theresa agree or not.
At this moment, they were really entangled.
After all, for Siegfried and Teresa, Kiana is everything to them. For the healthy growth of their daughter and niece, sacrificing the future of a clone may not be so difficult to decide...
And seeing Siegfried's entanglement, Gao Qi knew that in the original work, it was Kiana herself who, after discovering K-423's information collected by Siegfried, urged her father to save people, and by doing so Kiana became Durandal
If Siegfried made his own decision, he might not be able to make up his mind.
"Oh, the pity of parents in the world. It's not easy being a single parent. I've been an older brother, so I understand your mentality very well. Why don't I give you a piece of news for free—this is the ultimate gossip."
This time, Gao Qi had another method, forcing Siegfried to make a move.
"You should all know the name Kallen Kaslana, the ancestor of Siegfried."
Hearing the name, Theresa immediately patted the heavy golden cross beside her, and took out a bottle of bitter melon juice from it—this was also her storage room.
"Of course, I know that. She is the Saint of Schicksal, one of the strongest Valkyries, and she died in order to protect the people. My Judah was Kallen's weapon. It is said that she has a marriage contract with Grandpa Otto... "
Theresa stopped talking in the middle of her sentence. She saw Gao Qi laughing.
She hadn't been with Gao Qi for a long time, but she already had experience. When Gao Qi smiled, she knew that she might have done something stupid again.
"No, no, no, Miss Theresa, what you said is wrong. To be precise, she is Otto's unrequited love, his white moonlight, his only confidant and best friend, and the eternal emptiness in Otto's heart. Her death took away that upright and brave young man leaving behind a devil who did whatever it took to resurrect her"
Gao Qi spoke emotionally about the secrets that no one in front of him knew, like a bard, praising a man who gave everything for love.
But to the three others present, the story sounded chilling.
A man who dedicates everything to love is really admirable and touching, but the premise is that the man is not the most powerful person in the world and everything he gives includes the whole world!
"In order to revive Kallen, Otto needs to seek power beyond Humanity, the truth of the world, and the origin of all knowledge—Honkai!"
And Gao Qi told the cruelest truth.
"The Honkai is the only hope for Kallen's resurrection. Before Kallen really returns to Otto, what do you think, the Overseer of Schicksal's attitude towards Honkai will be, to eliminate the Honkai that killed Kallen? "
Looking at the three of them with a smile, Gao Qi knew that they had already come up with the answer, after all—they had all suffered from Otto.
"No, he won't destroy the Honkai. On the contrary, he just wants to control the Honkai, let the Honkai be used by him, maintain a delicate balance, explore the power of the Honkai, and even... contribute to the Honkai."
As a member of the North American branch of Schicksal, Einstein silently said the correct answer. Before and after the first and second Eruption, she had already learned Otto's methods.
This is Otto's attitude towards the Honkai.
Over the past few decades, she has been vigilant against Schicksal and thinking about the reason why Otto did this, but she never thought that the answer is so... rash?
This simply sounded like nonsense, but... so reasonable.
It was only then that she realized that in the teaching materials of Schicksal, the words of praise for Kallen, surpassed all others.
"That lunatic, just for one person, he wants to destroy the whole world, how is this possible—"
Siegfried's eyes were tearing apart, and his hatred for Otto could not be suppressed.
Even without the Honkai Fission Bomb, Cecilia would die from excessive blood loss. She voluntarily sacrificed for the people of Siberia——Siegfried has been comforting himself like this, paralyzing himself with Otto's contribution to the world. .
However, if these contributions are just Otto's research on Honkai for his own selfishness, then the second Honkai Eruption, and even the resurrection of the Herrscher of the Void, are probably all intentional by Otto... Then he and Kiana, there will never be any peace!
And just as Siegfried was struggling, a whisper sounded in his ear
"How is it possible? Mr. Siegfried, love is great, think about it, if Cecilia could return to your side?
That beautiful, kind, lovely, gentle girl who made you fall in love, at first sight, can come back to you again—give you a sweet good morning kiss when you wake up; give you a comforting hug from behind when you are tired; Your daughter can run happily beside her mother; when the sun sets, you hold her little hands, and the three shadows grow old; in the middle of the night, you put your daughter in the middle, look at each other, and count her Growth and future..."
The bewitching words, like the voice of a Herrscher, got into Siegfried's mind, and he couldn't help but imagine that happy scene, the love of his life——
And the price of all this is just some people who have nothing to do with you. They are just a number. Their death can bring Cecilia back to you. What choice would you make-the Honkai is omnipotent...Oh, what, it hurts!"
On the side, Theresa finally noticed something was wrong, raised her little foot, and kick on Gao Qi's calf.
"Stop it, Gao Qi, stop talking, you bad guy!"
And soon, Siegfried also responded.
"Enough! No way, Cecilia will not allow me to do this, Gao Qi, you devil, don't bewitch me in my ears! I will never do that!"
He punched Gao Qi without hesitation, but he was much slower than in the past. Gao Qi easily dodged it
"In the end, Cecilia won't allow you to do this, right, Mr. Siegfried—look, everyone, how great the power of love is!"
Gao Qi rubbed his calf and sat on the sofa, looking innocent.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, with your long mouth!"
And Theresa walked up to him angrily, stretched out her little hand, and started poking him around the waist.
"Okay, Mr. Gao Qi, I admit your theory that love is great, but please stop talking."
Now, even Einstein began to stop Gao Qi from speaking. This guy is really like the devil of Faust, every word is luring people to fall.
"Yeah, stop talking, you bastard! But, damn it, you're right, if that's what Otto is, Kiana will always be used by him as long as she's around him, no matter what— Take K-423 away with us, I agree to your request."
Finally, Siegfried recovered took a long breath, and slammed the table down, his eyes no longer worried—he had to take Kiana away from Schicksal.
"Then, the deal is done, and I'll apologize to you for bringing up your grief—and actually, you don't have to worry about it."
Showing a satisfied smile, Gao Qi no longer pretended, but came to Siegfried's side, and hugged his shoulders like a good buddy.
"You can't even do anything with your brain. You don't have that IQ-be a hero and father, and be the person I admire, Siegfried."
"—Gao Qi!"
After finishing the weird words, Gao Qi ran away, realizing that he was being tricked, and the furious Siegfried immediately chased him out, leaving only Theresa holding a communication terminal and Einstein's projection, looking at each other helplessly.
"What do you think of him?"
"He may not be able to beat anyone, but he may be able to piss Otto to death."
【In this way, you formed a simple alliance with Siegfried, Theresa, and Anti-Entropy. You plan to enter the research institute on the outskirts of the town, take away Kiana's clone K-423, and prevent Otto's further progress of his plan. 】
【Originally, Siegfried planned to plan it slowly and wait until Kiana passed her birthday before acting, but he, who was not successful enough, accidentally let Kiana discover his plan—although everyone suspects that you did it, but You are really innocent. 】
【Kiana has always considered her father to be a hero, and after learning about K-423, she, who considers herself a hero, immediately actively asked to join the plan to save her "sister" together. 】
【Although Siegfried disagreed at first, he couldn't stand Kiana's insistence, and Kiana also acted like a baby to you, so you finally allowed her to join in. 】
【December 7, the day of Kiana's birthday, you started to act. 】
【Thus, everyone's future has changed. 】
