Chapter 23: Fenghuang Down

(Note to self that they call Fenghuang Down "Yuduechen" and Void Archive "Void Wanzang".)

(Holy shit do i really have to research the Divine Keys just to get everything right. Although it might need some editing later.)

——————————

Fu Hua's laughter stopped.

As she cough up blood on to the ground.

Almost exhausting all her strength, Fu Hua replied.

"....friends?"

"Otto, you hold no weight in your words‚ only lies that can be found..."

"Stomping on other people's feelings, playing with other people's fate... You don't even think for a moment that you are a villain..."

"Otto Apocalypse, I hate you from bottom of my heart..."

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder spread from the deep dark clouds, As darkness gradually swept the sky.

The darkness eventually covered Otto's face.

The golden flame gathered into the musket's barrel.

A copy of the Judgement of Shamash

(Smebius: idk if its actually judgment of Shamash copy.)

He silently aimed the gun at the woman on the ground.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke.

"Immortal Pheonix... I did not lie."

'Bang!'

With the sound of a gunshot, the video returned to darkness and eventually disappeared.

After watching the video, everyone turned their attention to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua's face was expressionless, but her hands were tightly clenched into a fist.

Sure enough, she and Otto are not friends after all.

For his own purpose, Otto would use anything to accomplish it, even if the process would cause unimaginable pain and ruin someone's life, he would turn a blind eye to it.

And such a person is someone Fu Hua hates the most.

"Principal, I would like to accept your invitation."

After a long silence, Fu Hua said to Theresa.

"Really?"

Theresa's eyes suddenly lit up.

This was a surprisingly unexpected news but a welcoming one.

"Do you think that after seeing what Otto did, I would still work with him?" Fu Hua chuckled at herself.

"Don't worry Fu Hua, you will be under my protection and I won't do anything to hurt you!" Theresa patted her flat chest as a guarantee.

"Then things are very clear now." Bronya said at this time, "Obviously, Kiana will become a Herrscher in the future because of Otto's doing and his purpose is to control the Herrscher."

"Although he didn't do it directly, he was still the cause of it all."

"Then based on the previous videos, Bronya will now make a complete timeline analysis of the information obtained so far. If there is anything missing, you can help mentioning it."

After speaking, Bronya paused to give everyone some time to digest the information just obtained and then continued.

"First of all, regarding the video information we have obtained so far, the timeline of the scene just now should be at the top. In order to facilitate everyone's memory, let's use the backstabbed class monitor as the title of the video just now."

"..." Fu Hua's mouth twitched, wanting to complain, but kept it to herself.

"From Otto's words, we know that Kiana became the Herrscher, which can be said to be caused by him and looking at the background at the time, it should be at the Schicksal Headquarters."

"After combining this information, we can infer that at some point in the future, Otto took Kiana to the Schicksal Headquarters‚ This in turn let Otto put lot of Honkai energy in Herrscher gem in Kiana's body, which prompted the Herrscher in Kiana's body called Sirin to be awaken.."

"And this is just the first stage of his plan."

"Afterwards, his plan was to let the Herrscher Kiana to fight at St. Freya and then let one of us sacrifice ourselves in order to awaken Kiana's consciousness, so that he succeeded in his plan."

"Then, let's look at other images."

"The second image shows that Kiana tried to commit suicide. The background timeline here should have happened after the class monitor was betrayed.

"From the information we got here, we can infer that Himeko-Sensei sacrificed herself to save Herrscher Kiana. In which‚ Kiana regain control of her body and fled away as to not fall into the hands of Schicksal."

"But it may be that she was afraid that her body would be occupied by the Herrscher conscious again and hurt us. So Kiana didn't want to reunite with us and fled all alone."

"Then Kiana was forced into despair by Herrscher's consciousness. When she was about to commit suicide, the class monitor appeared to stop her."

"But this is where Bronya is a little confused. Why does the class monitor appear here? And why she is staying by Kiana's side in a translucent form."

"After seeing the class monitor getting betrayed and shot Bronya is confused. Did Otto not kill the class monitor? but let her escape?"

When Bronya said this, she looked at Fu Hua,

"class monitor, can you explain?"

Fu Hua hesitated for a while, but still said,

"The 'me' beside Kiana... is just a feather."

"feather?"

Hearing Fu Hua's words, everyone showed a surprised expression.

"In my hand, I hold the 8th Divine Key, Fenghuang Down."

Fu Hua said, raised her palm slightly and a orange feather emitting a faint light appeared in her hand.

"Fenghuang Down is the Key of Sentience. It can manipulate human brain signals and create hallucinations."

"And i should've activated Fenghuang Down's 0th power and separated my soul from my body before i was killed."

"The Eighth God's Key..."

Everyone stared blankly at Fenghuang Down in Fu Hua's hand and couldn't help but gulped.

'Isn't this ability too strong?'

'It can even create illusion and she can even separate her soul from the body.'

Obviously Fenghuang Down's ability is more than that. It's just that Fu Hua didn't continue to explain on how it actually works.

"Did Grandpa use this to modify my memory back then?" Theresa said solemnly.

"Yes and no as Otto holds the 1st God Key‚ Void Archive. Void Archive can simulate everything in the world and this includes my Fenghuang Down. Although the power simulated by the Void Archive is far less powerful than the original‚ It is still more than enough to manipulate someone's memories." said Fu Hua

"Class monitor, have you ever used it to manipulate other people's memories?" Kiana asked curiously.

Fu Hua shook her head.

"Memory is the most precious thing to people. Unless it is the last resort‚ i would never do it."

'Except....myself.' as she said to herself.
