contradiction.
It is indeed very contradictory.
Abandonment and gentleness are highly contradictory.
Otto's cultivation of good people is quite contradictory.
Even Einstein closed his eyes at this moment, quietly analyzing the information, which was of negligible quantity and occupied a considerable amount of personal impressions related to that person.
Almost the instant the fingers loosened their grip, Tesla regained nearly half of the space, as if mockingly sneering.
"If it were that simple, Joyce wouldn't have acted that way back then... Ha, if you ask me, this Jiang Cheng guy is at least half as ruthless as him."
"He protected at least hundreds of millions of people."
Einstein, with his eyes closed, immediately added to the message.
"The Third Collapse... may not be as devastating as the Second Collapse, but a magnitude of three thousand is enough to evaporate the Far East completely, and Yang..."
Yang will absolutely not stand idly by and do nothing.
They replenished it almost immediately.
In Tesla's mind—having experienced it once, witnessed a sacrifice during the Second Collapse, and barely survived by a miracle—he probably knew better than anyone else in the world what that man would do at that time.
Even though his body was already shattered and could no longer continue... even if rushing up would only result in one more death, he would absolutely do everything within his power to fight the Herrscher of Lightning the moment he was certain that the Herrscher was completely beyond Theresa's ability to defeat.
Perhaps only in this one matter should she truly thank the successor of the person she hated most in the world.
How can it be?
Everything should not have been like this.
These days, being able to remain calm and quiet without refutating a single word is already the limit.
Everything eventually reached a stalemate, and Einstein was completely unable to piece together a profile of a personality from those fragmented pieces of information—he couldn't even make a basic guess about the character, unless Walter Young could obtain more information about that person's experiences.
From Bronya and Kiana.
But this is not possible.
A mere teacher has no right to inquire about a student's personal emotional issues, especially when the person in question is the most powerful future archbishop.
At present, the only thing that can be confirmed about Jiang Cheng is that he is a very powerful person.
In the end, Walter Young could only conclude, "If I have the chance, I will try to meet him."
No matter how dissatisfied one is, there is no way to refute it.
Because it is necessary.
Even Tesla couldn't stop her from doing what she once couldn't, leaving behind only the promise she made, and now she can only watch the exact same thing happen.
"Do not."
"Tesla this time, I..."
Walter Young instinctively wanted to dissuade him.
The moment she looked up, all that could be seen in her red eyes was the same question.
Thinking about it carefully, although it was only a short syllable, the word was indeed excessively deep, completely unlike what Tesla, who, despite being somewhat old, still maintained the physique of a young girl, could produce.
—Someone has come in here.
This is the only explanation.
Upon realizing this fact, Walter Young almost immediately assumed a fighting stance.
Completely ignoring his physical limitations, he forcibly pushed his power to its limit, once again unleashing the blue reconstructed power belonging to the Herrscher of Reason.
Eyes like turning gears scanned the surroundings, trying to find the owner of that voice—until that undisguised shadow emerged from the corner.
“It’s me, Walter.”
The first thing that catches the eye is the short white hair, followed closely by a warrior in a dashing trench coat—
An elderly man walked over step by step, waving his hand with a nonchalant air. "Don't always be so easily startled; it's bad for your health."
"It is you……"
The raised fingers relaxed once again.
"What are you doing here? If I'm not mistaken, you must have some trouble of your own."
“Those black guys can’t catch me,” Siegfried pointed to his feet. “They’re too lazy to even bother with pretense anymore, so they just disappeared. They’re probably too tired to waste their energy anymore.”
"You can't say that. Someone with this kind of technology is definitely not a small organization. Maybe the one hiding in the shadows is someone just as troublesome as Destiny." He shook his head.
"Don't always take it so seriously."
Siegfried remained unchanged, extending his knuckles as if to flick Siegfried's chest.
"Cough cough..."
The violent coughing even made him immediately retract his fingers, as if he were afraid that he might accidentally kill him.
At least Siegfried had black lines around his eyes, and without hesitation, he turned to the side to avoid Tesla's angry words on the screen: "You better be gentle with me!"
“Look at the state of your body, how dare you criticize me?” He hid next to Walter Young.
"I……"
"Leave the investigation of Jiangcheng to me." Siegfried was too lazy to waste any more time on other things.
But clearly, others didn't intend to do so—Walter Young's gaze immediately fell on his steel arm, which was still somewhat clumsy. It was with this arm that he hadn't controlled his strength properly, which was why his chest still hurt a little, as if he had been hit with a stick.
"You're not as good as me in actual combat."
"Don't worry, Jiang Cheng isn't that powerful," he patted his chest forcefully, wincing in pain as he said, "I've seen his performance with my own eyes. You would never guess that the Herrscher who can unleash three thousand amplitudes in an instant, stronger than Sirin's initial form, is Ryoma's daughter."
"Really?"
No wonder that gem disappeared.
No wonder it was swallowed up so easily by Cocolia... No matter how much one wants to believe in Raiden Ryoma, even Welt Young couldn't help but have doubts due to the endless series of probabilistic events. The truth now is just a way to put those doubts to rest.
"What on earth is that Raiden Ryoma doing?!" Tesla on the screen was slamming his fist on the table and shouting!
"That's just the beginning. Do you even know what methods Jiang Cheng used to conquer the Third Honkai Impact?"
"What?" Einstein asked appropriately.
"It's a strategy guide."
Seeing that you were talking nonsense, Siegfried mysteriously uttered the second half of the sentence.
"The strategy I'm talking about is the literal one. That guy used the method of love to turn Ryoma's daughter into his own pet fish. Instead of destroying humanity, he started a romance with her."
"what are you saying?"
Are you kidding me?
Two brilliant scientists who could never reach a consensus, at this moment, cast their gazes at each other with almost the same frequency.
Even the colors contained in those eyes, which were as incompatible as ice and fire, were almost identical.
The words "I don't believe it" have actually been put into words. Anyone who looks up and is seen, or makes eye contact with them, can clearly feel that the two girls' faces are practically screaming "Are you kidding me?"
The same resolute gaze returned in return.
There is no hesitation.
Those blue eyes, belonging to the older man, held something genuine and utterly devoid of any falsehood.
"If I hadn't followed Kiana and witnessed her daily life, I wouldn't have believed that the Herrscher would resolve the issue in such a childish way."
So you knew about the son you were talking about...
and many more……
Tesla, who instinctively wanted to retort, shut his mouth.
The new information that Siegfried revealed corresponded one by one with the key points he already knew. A completely new piece of information appeared in his mind that was perfectly logical and connected from beginning to end—the gaze that had been questioning him from beginning to end instantly turned into pity.
"You said you saw Kiana's daily life when you were with her, and that she even kept fish. Does that mean Kiana also..."
"..."
Siegfried's expression of utter disgust only amplified the credibility of this speculation.
His actual demeanor was beyond words; he was practically murderous. If Jiang Cheng were to appear before him, the first thing he would do would be unleash his Heavenly Fire—his lips were practically drooling, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, and his eyes, now dimmed, were devoid of any luster.
This kind of expression is impossible to fake; even the best actors could never fake it.
Both Walter Young and Einstein instantly believed what he had said and had no more doubts.
I initially thought she was so heartbroken because she couldn't find her father for so long, but no matter how I looked at it, it shouldn't have taken her so long to recover from something like that. It must have been something else entirely.
So, Kiana's sadness might not have anything to do with Siegfried at all; it's probably just because she fell for someone else and was dumped.
Walter Young, subconsciously pondering everything, even unconsciously added the second half of Tesla's unspoken statement—
"No wonder Kiana said she was abandoned and acted so sad and upset all the time."

Chapter 115 Mei: There will absolutely not be a second hat!
What's more tragic than having your own daughter become part of someone else's harem and start fighting with other girls?
—We lost.
—It was after the factional struggle that they even lost.
She shamelessly argued with others all day long, argued with a man all day long, stayed by that man's side with all sorts of excuses, and even shamelessly pulled that man into her arms in the amusement park. After walking through the amusement park with an overly intimate embrace, what she was greeted with was... a departure without even a final farewell.
"In short, I will ask him myself. Don't worry, his strength is not only not strong, but can be considered very weak. I will handle it carefully and not let others find out."
His voice, though still raw, had a hoarse quality he hadn't shown before, like the faded tone of an adult after smoking for half a day.
In this situation, it was impossible for anyone to stop him.
Stop Qi Lin-Meng Er $ Research Lin 5 Mixed with Yi "Three-Grid Flying".
The father who stopped the person who was dumped.

With almost all the eligible invitees having already embarked on their journeys, Jiangcheng's preparations have reached their limit. They must proceed quickly, as any further delays will inevitably lead to problems, and all the grand ceremonies have been pushed forward or brought to a final stage.
The paperwork has been completed, so Jiang Cheng must now formally appear at the registration ceremony, first offering his condolences to the people of the floating islands... at least ensuring that all the Valkyries of the floating islands recognize him.
It shouldn't elicit a surprised "oh" from everyone, but rather at least some praise.
This should theoretically be quite difficult—based on a normal posture and a severed right hand.
Regardless of anything else, humans, being visual creatures, use sight as the primary standard for judgment. If there were only one bishop or the previous bishops weren't particularly remarkable, that would be fine. However, the previous bishop happened to be Otto, a handsome and elegant blond-haired, blue-eyed young man who, regardless of his inner thoughts, was outwardly dashing and elegant. In this situation, let alone being ordinary, even being less than handsome could easily cause problems.
The latter could barely rely on finding Yu Tu and asking her to help speed up the cloning process.
This is also a rare occurrence where Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura not only don't stop it, but actually push it forward.
Even towards Mistelin, who could replace her hands and no longer needed steel prosthetics, her attitude improved significantly. During video conversations via communicator, every single word spoken by the girl was carefully etched into her mind.
“I’ll speed things up. Jiangcheng can try it out now, but… are you sure you want to keep operating as a group like this?”
"Jiang Cheng, you may not care that much about fate, but does that mean this organization will be completely useless to you in the future?"
"...Did I mean well but end up doing something wrong again?"
The girl on the screen displayed a familiar expression, which, in human terms, should be described as one of bewilderment, in an extremely inhuman manner.
Just looking at it, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but recall that voice, tinged with emotion, that could only be heard on the bridge.
Whenever I recall that snow-covered plain, I always think... that letting go of sadness is the best way to respect the past.
That additional plot point regarding Bronya.
