Chapter 82: A Little Chat

"Um..."

Luo Lin hesitated, her mind in turmoil.

Ah, just finished consoling Sirin, and now she have to deal with Senti. What should I say?

Should I join her in criticizing the old immortal for being inflexible? Or should I tell her punch Otto in the face to vent her frustration? Or perhaps I should just take her out to reminisce with Kevin the Elder?

"Firstly, never mind who the old fogey is, why do you think I'd want to punch Otto? What has he done to provoke me?"

"Where hasn't he provoked you?"

Luo Lin widened her eyes, about to mention that Otto had once shot Fu Hua in the forehead, but then realized that hadn't happened yet.

Oh well, let's try something else. Otto Apocalypse had done so many despicable things anyway...

Senti looked utterly confused.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Why would Otto shoot me... I mean, shoot Fu Hua? As far as I can see, they've been getting along fine so far, haven't they?"

Senti's question triggered Luo Lin's memory.

She couldn't forget Otto Apocalypse's famous declaration: "Master Jingwei, I didn't lie."

Senti saw Otto's grim face and the fleeting figure of the Judgement of Shamash in the link.

Damn Mimicry - Judgement of Shamash...

Oh, it seems Luo Lin can create this thing now, but for now, she can only create the Cleaver of Shamash. She is still a long way from creating the dual gun form...

Luo Lin shook her head, explaining, "It only appears they're getting along fine on the surface. In reality, Fu Hua should also know that Otto is up to no good behind the scenes. But she needs Otto's power to protect Shenzhou, so she has to tolerate it."

"Fu Hua is a conservative person. All her thoughts are for protecting humanity, guarding Shenzhou, eliminating collapse... And Otto..."

Luo Lin found it difficult to find an accurate word to describe this Overseer of Schicksal. "On the surface, he's a great orator, a leader in the fight against Honkai... But he also has a side that's crazy, willing to do anything to achieve his goals... I suspect that Otto Apocalypse is fundamentally different from normal humans. More importantly..."

"He's a Kallen enthusiast?"

Senti blurted out this word unexpectedly, choking Luo Lin. Obviously, this was the result of the mental link.

The black-haired girl nodded helplessly. "Yes, a Kallen enthusiast. Part of Otto's mind has remained in that time five hundred years ago. Everything he does now is to reverse time and create a world where his Kallen exists on the Imaginary Tree..."

Senti saw a vast golden tree and Otto stumbling forward...

It was hard to imagine Otto's face looking like that. At least during the hundreds of years when Fu Hua and Otto cooperated, she mostly saw a calm Otto.

-The above scene is from "Thus spoke, Apocalypse"

"Your memory images are a bit strange... That guy actually thinks like that?"

Senti didn't dwell on this too much. She muttered incredulously, "But Otto looks normal most of the time..."

"That's the terrifying part of Otto," Luo Lin sighed. "He can even seamlessly integrate into a woman's Soulium body. In terms of action or appearance, he looks one hundred percent female... But inside, it's actually Otto Apocalypse's soul."

"He even uses Soulium as a body?!"

Senti was already a bit numb. Honestly, most of the Soulium left by the prehistoric civilization on Earth was used to make "Soulium computers," which stored various scientific researches and knowledge.

Another part was used to make weapons, and the remaining Soulium was used to protect these items from Honkai or other accidental damage.

After all, the most important characteristic of Soulium is its self-healing ability, which has allowed the shelters and computers containing the sparks of civilization from the previous era to persist until now...

And then Otto took this strategic material and made it into his own body. Moreover, it seemed that he made not just one or two, but it looked like he dismantled a lot of Soulium computers to do this?

"What a squanderer! Just this alone is enough for me to fight Otto!"

"In fact, this is not a big deal... The important thing is that Otto let the Herrscher of the Void go several times just to execute his plan... In fact, the second eruption could have ended early. Welt Yang and Siegfried even knocked Sirin down at the beginning, but Otto later intervened and knocked them both away..."

Senti's fist tightened!

Wait a minute, it seems she is a Herrscher now. Why is she angry with Otto, who allowed Honkai to happen?

Senti's thoughts were a bit stuck, but soon she found a reason for herself - didn't Luo Lin just say that Herrschers are also humans?

I'm human, and I don't like this guy Otto, so of course I can be angry!

Yeah, that's right!

After considering for a moment, Luo Lin continued, "What completely triggered the conflict between Fu Hua and Otto was when he allowed the Herrscher of the Void to chase down Theresa, Raiden Mei, and the others... Oh, this seems to be a part of the story that hasn't happened yet..."

"How do you know so many things that haven't happened yet?"

Senti finally realized that something was not quite right. The stories Luo Lin was thinking about now... they all seemed strange, like something not quite sophisticated, either 2D or 3D...

"Uh... didn't I say before that I'm a transmigrator..."

"A transmigrator is...? Oh, you don't have to say it, I already know through the mental link. Please continue."

"...Before traveling, I played a game called... 'Honkai Impact 3rd' . There are too many stories about this world in it."

As she said this, there was a sense of nostalgia in Luo Lin's eyes.

"Among them is you, Senti, our beloved Yatta."

A series of emoticons floated up from the girl's heart, highlighting a cute, playful aspect. Likewise, these emoticons and images were filled with various Black Nian Beasts, Senti wearibg sunglasses, and various scam elements.

Most importantly, there was Senti's iconic joyful smile, its unmistakably Senti!

"...Wow, the humans in your world are really strange, actually liking a Herrscher."

Senti couldn't tell if she was amused or resigned, but her mood was obviously not as bad as before.

"Because you're really cute!"

Luo Lin said sincerely, "Even when you realized you were a Herrscher in the end, you didn't take extreme retaliatory actions. You just left after saying a few words... and even lent your power to Fu Hua at the end... um..."

"Goodness, that old timer even stole my abilities!"
