Otto said: "If you make a request, you need to pay a price. What do you want to exchange for my promise?"
"…"
He noticed Kevin’s pause.
Very good!
This proves that the content of the conversation is still under his control, but next, he must be very careful, very, very careful——
Kevin also spoke: "I don’t need your promise. Obey or perish. You only have these two choices."
Otto said: "No, no, no, this is not a good decision. You know, no matter how powerful you are, this world is still maintained by my destiny."
"Imagine the worst case scenario: Destiny will use all its resources and strength to fight the World Serpent until the last moment. Yes, Destiny will lose, but you will definitely lose time."
"You will lose the most precious time. In that case, you will not be able to realize the Stigma Plan before the end of the world. You don’t want this result, right? I think it’s time to have a good talk."
"After all, I don’t want to go to war with the World Serpent."
Kevin asked directly: "What are your requirements?"
——Here it comes!
The direction of the conversation was just as he expected.
He said, "I also have my own plan, a plan that must be completed before the end. But the collapse is intensifying, at a speed far beyond human imagination. As civilization evolves, the enemy of civilization is also evolving."
"The irregular collapse phenomenon that is now spreading all over the world is the omen of the next imaginary invasion – the fifth Herrscher is about to come."
"That’s right." Kevin confirmed this.
Otto continued, "You have your mission, I have my long-cherished wish, but if the Herrscher of the End comes, all this will no longer exist."
"Time is passing, for you and for me. Instead of being deadlocked in a meaningless struggle, I think… cooperation is a better choice."
The time has come.
Otto waited for this moment. He was 70% sure… No, he must succeed.
——Otto picked up the chess piece to win.
"I need something, something that is in my hand, but has no value to you. If you get it, my long-cherished wish for five hundred years will be realized."
"In exchange… by then, Otto Apokalis will completely disappear from you and the World Snake."
Before Kevin could speak.
The audience watching Honkai Impact 3rd all over the country started to cheer.
"Promise him, no matter what the request is, as long as it can make the dog Otto disappear, agree to it."
"We must agree to it, even if we have to give him the Herrscher of the Void, as long as this dog thing disappears, we will agree."
"Fuck, there is such a good thing? Just agree to it, and the dog thing will disappear for me."
"This is really the best thing I have heard in a week., Dog Otto actually wants to disappear by himself, hahahaha!"
"Exchange, must exchange, Dog Otto can’t regret what he said."
"Okay, okay, there are such good conditions, Kevin will not refuse anything."
"I have to say that Dog Otto is indeed a negotiator, and no one can refuse such conditions."
"…"
Even the actors watching the show in the company clenched their fists and whispered: "Promise him! Promise him!"
As for why they dare not say it loudly…
It’s very simple, afraid that He Yudong will retaliate against them like he retaliated against Kiana.
And Kevin on TV also asked: "What do you need?"
Otto said: "The second God’s Key, the Eternal Key, the Thousand Worlds One, I know its beacon is still in your hands. The God’s Key obtained by Tianming is not complete. Its most important part was sealed into the Quantum Sea by the Forerunner 1,500 years ago with you. ”
“Only under the guidance of the beacon can its zero rated power be fully activated.”
Kevin also knew his intention: “You want to reach the tree of imaginary numbers.”
Otto did not deny it, or rather, he did not need to deny it: “Yes, observation is not the real purpose of the key to eternal calamity. It was created to reproduce the power of the Ruler of the Void—to create a door leading to the tree of imaginary numbers.”
“Beyond the door is the eternal moment, the origin of the end, the birthplace of all truths and laws… It is the destination that I must reach.”
Kevin said: “You know the consequences of doing so.”
Otto said calmly: “I know, and you know, because we both know each other well, this transaction has its value. Give me the beacon, and you will get everything in exchange—peace, resources… and time. ”
“…”
Kevin was silent.
This bottomless silence enveloped the world, and Otto’s thoughts also calmed down.
He had already placed his chess piece, and the next step was to wait.
Waiting, that was a word Otto was very familiar with. He had been waiting for a long time, and he could wait even longer.
Then, under his gaze, the white-haired man spoke: "If you make a request, you must pay a price. What do you want to exchange for it?"
Otto laughed.
He laughed from the bottom of his heart.
"Hahahaha, very good, very good!"
"That’s right, equality! Equality is the cornerstone and pillar of everything. To complete such a historic cooperation, I must offer an equal sincerity. ”
“Power, wealth, knowledge, technology, I know these mundane things are not worth a sneer, only this gift is worthy of you——”
“If you get it, you will get a perfect puppet, a puppet that can still control destiny after I leave… Now, I will return the Void to you!”
What exactly is the collapse?
In the long time,Otto continued to search for the answer to this question.
He spent five centuries, and the documents he searched spanned two eras. His understanding of Honkai ranked first among the seven billion lives on Earth.
The more he knew, the less he knew.
In the end, Otto realized that he didn’t understand Honkai at all——
Where did he come from, and where did he go?
What force drove him, and what result did he tend to?
Why was he born, why did he end, why did he continue, why did he stagnate, why did he explode, why did he remain silent——
Is he a personified existence, or some kind of eternal rule?
Questions, questions… Questions are like a surging tide, drowning, sweeping, and pushing Otto to the darkest and most terrifying abyss——the abyss called the unknown.
He wanted to move forward, but he didn’t know where the road was.
He wanted to set off, but he didn’t know where the end was.
He explored, he wondered, he failed, he was lost.
He worried, he experimented, he suffered, he was anxious.
Five hundred years have passed, and the hypotheses he proposed are innumerable, and the conjectures he denied are inestimable.
Answers after answers emerged, arranged, changed, and combined in his mind, forming blueprints and paintings, torn and reassembled, reassembled and torn again…
In this repetitive process, in the 599th winter of his life, Otto found the way to the truth.
He explored the quantum sea, he surveyed the ether anchor point, he looked for imaginary creations, and he took the huge key of God into his hands.
He experienced setbacks, he encountered obstacles, he got into trouble, he was bathed in failure, and he harvested countless impossibilities.
But Otto did not need to know the impossible.
Because he decided, because it must be possible –
Otto Apocalis, to reach the realm of God.
Otto Apocalis is going to climb the tree of imaginary numbers.
The audience was shocked to see these self-narrations in Otto’s heart.
They found that they seemed to have never understood Otto, and they only hated this man from the beginning.
Now think about his purpose?
It is found that there is no answer at all. We only know that he is doing human experiments. He created Kiana’s tragic life and he let the Herrscher of the Void go, causing the outbreak of the Great Collapse.
And Theresa is also his experiment, one of the people he created.
But… why did he do this?
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that this TV series has never explained it.
Someone asked in the group.
"What is Otto’s goal? What is he pursuing at all costs for five hundred years?"
"Didn’t he say that he wanted to reach the realm of God? He must want to become a Honkai God, right?"
"Now that you put it, it’s possible. It’s normal for dog Otto to want to be a god."
"That’s right, how can someone like OttoHow could he allow the collapse to ride on his head? He must be the god of collapse. "
"No, no, no, it shouldn’t be that simple. Damn it. I suspect that Director Dog did it on purpose. There is too little information about Otto, even less than Kevin. I only know that he is a dog and deserves to die!"
"That’s it. Just know that he deserves to die. No matter what his purpose is, he will disappear after the transaction is completed."
"That makes sense, dog Otto! Disappear quickly."
And in the TV series.
Otto was also sincerely happy for the completion of the transaction: "I am very happy that this meeting has achieved the most perfect result. Let’s complete the handover of the beacon as soon as possible. Do you have any requirements for the time and place?"
Kevin said: "You decide."
"Well… let me think about it… I don’t want to wait any longer. I hope it can prove its value immediately. "Otto pondered and said, "It takes a lot of Honkai energy to activate the Second God Key, a lot of Honkai energy…ah, got it! There is a perfect place right now – Changkong City in the far east."
Kevin knew the location: "That’s where the third Honkai occurred."
Otto nodded: "That’s right! Three years ago, it left a singularity that was connected to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. Even if the Third Herrscher fell into a deep sleep, Honkai energy was still being released from the singularity.
"Those energies continued to increase in accordance with the catalysis of the Great Honkai, and are about to reach the critical point of explosion." (To read the novels of great excitement, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"What a perfect coincidence! Three days later, Destiny will transfer the Thousand Worlds One to Changkong City. When I get the beacon, I will start my first experiment. ”
Kevin stopped talking, stood up and left.
As he walked, the golden light covering the world began to dim and melt.
“…Oh, you’re leaving now? What a pity, I wanted to celebrate with you. Kevin Kaslana, I believe that today’s meeting has extremely far-reaching significance for you, me, and the whole world.”
“——Cheers to the union of destiny and snakes. ”
The TV screen switched to Changkong City.
Tesla and Mei are looking for Kiana here.
A few hours ago, they captured a strong Herrscher reaction in Changkong City at the Far East reconnaissance station. Although it was confirmed that it was the same as the sample in Tiankong City just a moment later, no reaction was detected afterwards.
The only thing that is certain now is that Kiana has been here, and there should be some clues left here.
The two are in the process of searching.
Mei found a lost child. While taking care of him, she learned about the current situation of Changkong City and that there were more than a dozen orphans in their nest who had survived the disaster like him.
However, they are also taken care of by someone, that is their teacher Raven.
Mei learned that Kiana was here through a conversation with Raven.
Raven thanked Mei for helping her take care of the children in the nest., and promised to take her to find Kiana.
Not far from the destination.
Raven stopped: "Now, the Herrscher of the Sky is only a stone’s throw away from us. She is very dangerous and may lose control at any time. Even if she is sent to another place, it will not be able to stop the symptoms from worsening. I am looking forward to what you will do."
Mei picked up the weapon and faced her: "I will take her away!"
Raven said: "I am afraid you can only take a corpse away. Before that, I will kill her."
"…" Mei said firmly: "I won’t let that happen."
The sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at the woman in black robe. []
As if waiting for this moment, the other party responded with a faint smile.
"…Haha, very good."
The next moment, Raven turned into a black shadow, and the two instantly tangled.
The tangling may be a bit exaggerated.
Mei is no match for her now. In just a few breaths, she was cornered by Raven, with sharp claws pressing on her blade: "You won’t let that happen? The World Snake knows your experience very well. Without the Conquest Gem, you are just an ordinary girl."
"You couldn’t protect her in the past, how can you do it now?"
Mei 437 held the blade tightly and said with difficulty: "I don’t understand… why is fate so unfair to her… because of her identity… because of her past…?"
"Or is it just because she was born a Herrscher, even though she never wants to hurt others…?"
"She is so kind… so gentle… but the world is so cruel…!"
Hmm?
Raven found that with Mei’s resistance, Honkai energy was gathering crazily, and hurriedly said: "Are you going to die?"
Mei didn’t care about so much, and continued to absorb Honkai energy: "… If sacrificing my life can get her back… then I am happy…! After all, my life was saved by her…!"
"I know that I have been hiding behind her and running away, but I have nowhere to escape… I must protect her as long as I am still alive…"
"I won’t let you hurt her!!"
Countless lightning burst out from Mei’s body, blowing Raven away directly.
The crackling lightning gradually subsided, Mei stood up with her body, but her eyes turned back to purple.
Raven touched the burnt gauntlet, and the claws made of soul tether emitted wisps of green smoke, unable to withstand more battles.
She was sure that the power was genuine.
"Nice look, I like it, take her away."
The raven pointed out where Kiana was: "The farther away the better, don’t let her hurt anyone again, this is what you promised, you should thank yourself, in the end, you did give a proof. Go quickly, before I change my mind–"
A gust of wind swept by, and the raven disappearedShe disappeared without a trace, leaving only her words echoing in the air for a long time.
"Raiden Mei, we will meet again. If you want to find me, you know where to go–"
Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
Dragging heavy steps, she walked in the direction indicated by the raven.
There was the ruins that Bellalus had guarded before. After the two defeated it, it was now completely exposed.
She climbed over the broken wall and came behind the ruins.
"Finally… I finally found you… Kiana."
In the picture, Kiana fainted on the ground and had lost consciousness. Her body was covered with traces of Honkai energy erosion and could collapse at any time.
She quickly returned to the Helios with Kiana in her arms.
Dr. Tesla urgently treated Kiana’s body.
Mei stood in front of the closed door, looking worried and anxious.
After overcoming many obstacles, she finally got Kiana back from Destiny and the World Serpent, and put an end to the long search for her that lasted for four months.
For four months, Mei missed her reunion with Kiana every day.
…But when this moment really came, there was no joy on her face, but fear instead.
“Kiana…”
She was exhausted physically and mentally, but she didn’t dare to close her eyes, because if she closed her eyes, she would see the person struggling.
She couldn’t believe that the girl who was still smiling at her two days ago was now unconscious in the bloodstains. .
