"Honkai beasts eliminated. No abnormal Honkai energy reaction confirmed in the outer area. Operation complete."
Nancy Edison looked expressionlessly at the Honkai Beast in front of her that had completely lost its vitality.
"Destroy the Honkai Beast's body and leave not a single hair."
"Understood, Sir Edison!"
The North American branch's special forces quickly poured special fuel onto the corpse of the Honkai beast.
"Alright, Professor Elias, do you already know how to explain it to Dr. Einstein and the others?"
Finn could only smile bitterly at Edison's ridicule.
"I have nothing to defend myself with... I will plead guilty, but my wife and children..."
"I can't do anything about your wife, but your son has already been picked up. Our North American branch is not easily convinced in the UK."
There are enough flaws in this sentence. However, Finn felt relieved at this moment, and it was impossible for him to ask for more if he could save one.
Thinking of this, Finn silently followed Edison's pace.

Manhattan Temporary Command Center
"Good afternoon, Finn." Einstein smoothed her natural curls.
"I heard you made a big fuss here... How did it feel when the bomb exploded?"
"It stinks. At the moment of the explosion, only regrets remained in my heart... Are you the only ones?" In response to Einstein's teasing, Finn smiled bitterly and then looked around.
"I heard a Valkyrie from headquarters came too."
"My mission is not to kill you or silence you... Besides, I am not going to continue obeying Bishop Otto's orders." Reanna opened the curtain and walked in.
"However, it's really not good for you to swagger in. You never know where a stray bullet might fly and shut you up forever."
"That's quite terrifying..." Finn shrugged, "but it doesn't stop me from exposing the Bishop's evil deeds."
Expose? Edison ignored the astonished expressions of the crowd and nodded, "It's impossible for us to allow Otto to bully us and not fight back, right? Perhaps Professor Elias's words alone are not convincing, but..."
"No buts, Ms. Nancy." A slightly arrogant voice sounded from the side of the crowd.
This voice made everyone present tremble. Otto!?
How could he be here!?
Feeling a sense of crisis like a thorn in her back, Edison subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but the next moment, another unfamiliar male voice came from the same direction.
"No, Bishop Otto, I think everyone should have the right to speak freely."
The spear that was about to pierce Edison's body was slowly lowered.
Only then did everyone realize that the original Reanna had turned into a handsome young man they had never seen before.
"Tian Tian Tian Tian..!" The familiar voice made Tesla point at the young man in front of her, unable to speak.
"Shh." Tian Shi motioned for Tesla not to speak, so as not to expose himself.
Although he is a ghost, he doesn't want Otto to remember him so soon.
"Who are you? How can you control Reanna's body?" At this moment, Otto's tone was full of surprise and confusion.
Reanna, the "Soul Steel Valkyrie" transformed by him, is his strongest backup body.
In a hundred years, she had undergone more than a thousand transformations, large and small, and at the same time, he had worked hard to prevent Reanna from realizing the backhand he had arranged in her body.
But who would have thought that the first time he used this backhand, not only did it fail, but even the control of her body was completely snatched away.
"Bishop Otto, do you know how many steps it takes to put an elephant in a refrigerator?"
The young man's schizophrenic muttering to himself revealed a sense of hilarity, but no one wanted to laugh.
Because the one playing against the young man was the Archbishop.
"Oh... putting the elephant in a refrigerator?" Otto's tone suddenly slowed down, and he used a tone as if he were talking to an old friend.
"First step: open the refrigerator door, second step: put the elephant in, third step: close the refrigerator door, understood, Bishop Otto?"
"What kind of bad riddle is this?"
Tesla complained inappropriately.
This guy really doesn't know how to read the atmosphere.
"Dr. Tesla is right, it is indeed a tasteless riddle." Otto let out an inexplicable laugh.
"Three steps? First: hibernate Reanna's consciousness; second: take control of this body; third: restart and act. Let me guess, Mr. Tian, that body must have been snatched between the first and second steps, right?"
Although the name has not been spoken, the word Tian Shi seems to have been recorded in Otto's little book.
"Bishop Otto, you are terrifyingly intelligent in every way." Tian Shi pulled up a chair and sat down under the gaze of the others.
"That's right, if you really want to talk about a body made of Soul Steel... it's hard to count it as a living thing."
However, there is no doubt that Reanna's consciousness is intelligent, so under normal circumstances, even if Reanna is asleep, Tian Shi cannot possess this body at all. But what if Reanna's consciousness was completely dormant?
Facts have proved that possession is entirely possible, and the effect is even unbelievably good, or in other words, the compatibility between conscious entities such as ghosts and Soul Steel, a metal composed of countless nano-robots that can record all kinds of information, is unbelievably good.
Well, Tian Shi actually realized this when he possessed the Star of Eden.
"Also, don't try to regain control of this body by dragging out time." Under the seemingly cordial conversations between the two, Otto initiated at least double-digit countermeasures in this body.
"The only thing I control is the body. You should have discovered that the control of the 'brain' is still in your hands. From a certain point of view, you have actually successfully taken over the body."
His body was being manipulated at will by others, but Otto could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. Isn't this also a kind of NTR?
"The acquisition rate of the mechanical hippocampus has indeed reached 99.993%... Is it because the brain itself is special? Or is it because my brain modification method is more sophisticated?"
"Is it also possible that I just want to annoy the Bishop of Schicksal?" Tian Shi simply ignored Otto's rhetoric.
"By the way, you are buying time, and so am I. After all, it takes a lot of time for me to thoroughly check and repair the flaws in this body."
