He Has Already Put All His Preparations on the Line

Regarding the topic at the time, Li Sushang wasn't particularly concerned. Since she knew that those phenomena were not ghosts, that was enough for her.

What she was more curious about, actually, was something else.

How did the other party achieve it?

Since the victory in battle, after ascending to the position of Overseer, he had been dedicated to resurrecting his childhood friend.

And now, the other party was about to succeed.

"You're not planning to directly snatch her out from the past, are you?" Li Sushang curiously asked. This was truly beyond her knowledge.

Projecting a segment of the past and then resurrecting it? It was unheard of.

But Otto just shook his head and smiled, saying, "Haha... If we could actually do that, it would be simpler. History is history. From today's standpoint, we can't even change a single bit of the past."

His plain words conveyed a sense of sorrow when heard.

That was the method he gave up after countless pondering, also a fragment of his journey of failures that could be seen everywhere.

This is the truth of the world. He hated it but couldn't change it; he couldn't bring her back from the past.

"Then what exactly is your method?"

The girl couldn't help but ask. When it comes to resurrection, people always add a sense of mystery. After all, it is a feat that has never appeared in history, so she couldn't help but be curious as well.

To be honest, she had thought she would never see the day she would be awakened.

Otto thought for a few seconds, looked at the other person's face filled with curiosity, and slowly uttered some words,

"Time, as stored within the Imaginary Tree, can be reactivated by the energy inherent in time itself. A Herrscher's ability to manipulate higher-dimensional spaces can be artificially guided to the temporal dimension, inducing targeted fracturing."

Otto's explanation about spacetime projection left Li Sushang utterly confused.

It was hard not to believe that he intentionally said it in front of this ancient person from five hundred years ago, knowing that with Otto's intelligence, he had surely anticipated that the other party would not understand.

So... he said such a long sentence, a conglomeration of numerous obscure and difficult terms.

She was momentarily stunned, her eyes filled with bewilderment and confusion,

She couldn't understand his explanation.

[An established timeline can generate new branches again...]

[You need an excellent Chinese-to-English (human) translator]

[Honkai energy can explain everything]

[So, who understood that sentence? He's truly an old riddler.]

-----

"Higher dimension... temporal... blah blah blah."

Elysia held her head, her eyes spinning in confusion, unable to understand what Otto was talking about.

However, she did catch the words "Herrscher" and "imaginary tree."

"Oh~ is that so?..."

Mobius had a look of knowing all along, as the other person's words confirmed her suspicions.

She secretly glanced at Kallen, the dignified Overseer of Destiny seated in her place, and sighed quietly to herself.

The other party's plan had evidently succeeded, right? Although there was no direct evidence yet, she seemed to have read the truth of the matter from Kallen's eyes.

"Resurrection? Even with the method he mentioned, it's still not an easy task."

Vill-V took off her hat with her right hand and said with a sigh.

Otto's two sentences to Sushang still echoed in her mind... Brilliant and concise, the other party indeed summarized the principles of the experiment, far more convincing than the superficial experimental results.

The pity is, the person opposite wasn't a scientist, but rather an ancient person who hadn't received modern education.

As a result, it turned out that those who understood benefited... Tsk, it really makes one sigh.

Luo Mo mischievously reached out and poked Kongming, who slapped his hand away. She glanced at Luo Mo with a mixture of annoyance and speechlessness in her beautiful eyes.

She could also be considered ancient, and she wasn't from this world. How could she understand such miraculous Honkai energy all at once? It truly seemed that Honkai could do anything.

Heaven knows how many forms of Honkai energy she had already witnessed: lightning, fire, even the consciousness of nothingness, viruses... To be honest, she couldn't comprehend this illogical energy.

From her perspective, it might be similar to a wishing machine?

Seeing that Kongming didn't understand, Luo Mo reached out and poked Theresa.

Theresa turned her head in confusion, with countless question marks seemingly floating above her head, and the confusion in her eyes was almost visible to the naked eye.

How annoying, my brain is going to grow out~

She tilted her little head, seemingly not understanding why Luo Mo was bothering her. Couldn't he see she was thinking?

"I wonder if our great Principal has any insights."

Luo Mo asked leisurely, wanting to see someone make a fool of themselves.

"Huh? I—"

A confused sound came from her nose, with a hint of disbelief. She hadn't yet wrapped her head around it. Since when did they start asking her about such things?

How could she possibly know!

Kallen tightly clenched her hands, staring at each sentence on the screen, especially the key phrases he directed at Sushang, repeatedly pondering their meanings in her mind.

-----

On the Anti-Entropy side,

With the successful defeat of the Herrscher of Domination, their tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Several people returned to their normal daily lives, while the one who had to take the Herrscher of Sentience power during the battle began to quietly reflect.

After that, she left a message—

She didn't want to hear even a single word of apology from the "old Antique," because such "sappy words" would only become a "burden on the journey."

And then she vanished without a trace, leaving her somewhat worried about the other person.

-----

"Tsk, how fake." The Herrscher of Sentience scoffed at this, saying,

"Love that comes too late is cheaper than grass. Hmph, this is the outcome of her not cherishing herself properly."

Sigh Now she can't even find herself. Who knows when she'll return?

"Hey, dumbfounded, old Antique~"

But her gaze continued to linger on Fu Hua in the video, not letting go of any detail, seemingly hoping for Fu Hua to make more moves.

But unfortunately, Fu Hua quickly turned her attention to others, like the Principal and so on...

This made her somewhat anxious.

Fu Hua, standing to the side, hesitated to speak, watching the Herrscher of Sentience, whose mood had inexplicably plummeted and was now furious.

She felt from the bottom of her heart... perhaps the strange emotional journey of Little Sentience was even more difficult to grasp than Otto's puzzling words.

-----

Meanwhile, the Principal is busy maintaining the ship, perhaps even ensuring the decks are clean?

Theresa looked at Fu Hua, whom she had sought out, as she also had some things she wanted to talk about.

Although the whereabouts of the Herrscher of Domination's core are unknown, there have only been three Honkai events worldwide this month.

Compared to the overwhelming battle reports of the past, the sudden peace is reassuring, but it also creates a sense of unease.

It makes people worry if something big is about to happen next.

Then, a conflicted expression appeared on Theresa's face. She has always had complex feelings about her grandfather.

It cannot be denied that up to now, all the practical knowledge she has learned comes from his ideas and beliefs... She cannot escape being influenced by her grandfather. But what's even stranger is that everything she has learned encourages her to resist everything taught to her.

She really has some... indescribable emotions inside. She doesn't know if her path is correct or what role Otto played in the past.

She hesitated for a while, then finally spoke,

"So... Fu Hua, what do you think of me as a person?"

"?"

"You know, I've been thinking lately. My grandfather has been the Herrscher of the Void for five hundred years, and during that time, it's not like he's been entirely misguided."

"When he was young, he also did a lot of good deeds and righteous acts, like adopting orphans, advocating for the people, overthrowing the old regime, and so on... Thinking about this, I always feel that many of my decisions have been unconsciously influenced by him."

She said somewhat sadly, her eyes reflecting on the memories of the man who influenced her the most,

She followed her own inner thoughts and did everything, but ironically, they were all things he had done in the past,

And like the cycle of time, she had already found herself standing on his opposite side.

-----

"So, Theresa still hasn't figured it out... What she said, it's all because of Kallen alone..."

"Otto never had such thoughts, at least subjectively."

Luo Mo mockingly and bluntly reveals some facts.

If it were any other event, he wouldn't say this, but precisely because Theresa mentioned those three things, Theresa was pretending Otto's youthful appearance,

It was never Otto's age that influenced his behavior, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the source of the great change in temperament was not age but Kallen.

His death was in the moment when Kallen died, and thereafter was only a man who sought atonement for his sins.

"Perhaps Otto... is really a strange person."

Mobius was a bit regretful, unfortunately... it would be so much better if they also pursued infinity.

But with her loli-like appearance, speaking in such a mature way, it instead gives a comical feeling of acting beyond her age.

"It seems unexpectedly romantic? The emotions between men and women, love can indeed create miracles," Eden's eyes sparkled, saying such things just for one person, indeed have a strong romantic color.

If it were in the future understanding his experiences, it would definitely become a common role in dramas.

But Elysia is the kind of hero who hopes to save others, after all, she truly 'loves' humanity.

"Sigh, such humans? he are quite strange, but his soul must also shine with its own brilliance."

Elysia did praise him.

After all, not having been in his world personally, from Otto's perspective, what he did was truly moving and also shocking.

Walking alone for five hundred years just to resurrect one person.

It is because of such humans, such spirits, that they are the people she loves.

-----

The news, broadcasted worldwide, has now reached everyone's ears.

Despite its slightly bizarre nature, after the most authoritative news broadcast, it remains unquestionably true.

It mentioned the previously vague reports of unknown disasters and officially exposed the existence of Honkai.

The struggle between Schicksal and Honkai enters a new era, requiring more fresh blood to join, hence...

"My successor, Theresa apocalypse, the leader of the Far East Branch, will soon take over as the Overseer and assume full leadership of the Schicksal organization."

"I believe under her leadership..."

The calm voice of the blond man in the news echoed in the ears of all the people. If this were not a worldwide broadcast, no one would believe this event.

The Valkyries of Schicksal wouldn't, the hostile Entropy wouldn't, and certainly not Kiana and others.

Who?

Who are you talking about?

Otto? How could Grandpa possibly resign!

But if there's anyone most shocked right now, undoubtedly it's the bewildered Theresa. She didn't know how to face this with what kind of emotions.

She's completely lost as to what Grandpa is up to again.

Just earlier they were discussing Grandpa's influence on her, and now suddenly he's making her take over.

Could there be some conspiracy behind this?

Every opponent familiar with Otto immediately flashed this thought in their minds.

Then they nodded in confirmation, continuing to think along this line. It's because Otto's image in their minds is too clear, already formed into some unknown figure.

His appearances always seem to be linked to massive hidden conspiracies.

And the truth, it wasn't far off.

Besides this news, Theresa and the others also received an email from Otto, inviting her to attend the succession ceremony in the outskirts of Vienna, and... to retrieve the core of the Domination Herrscher. This was bait, and also a threat.

No one could be sure what Otto would do, so they had to go, even though they knew it was a trap.

After receiving the news that Theresa and the others would arrive tomorrow, Otto let out a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth lifting. He reached out and swept everything off the table, his tone light and his mood good as he said,

"Next, on the stage I have set, they will come to a deep and perfect understanding of who 'Otto Apocalypse' truly is, and what kind of thoughts occupy his mind."

And he, too, began the final arrangements on his stage, only needing to wait for the protagonists to take the stage.

Everything will end at that moment, and at that moment, it will begin to turn anew.

The few remaining uncertainties... can only be left to fate.

In a moment alone, Otto thought, feeling a rare sense of nervousness in his heart. He reviewed his plan in his mind and sighed silently.

He confirmed once again:

—In this gamble, more extravagant than life and death itself, he had already prepared everything he could.

There are no other paths.

[What? Otto resigned? No, no, no, who did you say succeeded him?]

[Sigh—, will the world be destroyed by Honkai, or by an economic crisis? That is the question.]

[Isn't the core of the Domination Herrscher in Anti-Entropy's hands? How did it end up with Otto?]

[Theresa: Huh? So suddenly? It's been over forty years... It's a little hard to adjust.]

[Comment]

Apparently, compared to Otto's resignation, everyone is more interested in Theresa's succession, or rather... worried about the future of Schicksal in her hand?

-----

Even Theresa inside the room was stunned, never expecting that there would be a day she would succeed as Overseer.

Although she had thought about it in her dreams, she also knew clearly—she, who managed the branch so poorly, felt somewhat ashamed to face her grandmother.

As for those worries, does she, as the academy... the Overseer of Schicksal, have no face? How could she inexplicably ruin Schicksal, even going so far as to say she would ruin the world?

Is she some kind of virus?

Theresa felt annoyed and resentful in her heart.

"What kind of person is Otto..." Kallen murmured to herself, a wry smile on her lips.

Watching him on the screen, resembling a gambler pushing all his chips in for a final bet, her heart was unsettled.

"Tsk, crazy but not without reason, possessing a mind daring to innovate and the courage to strive higher. A very qualified scientist, If only he isn't trapped by love..." Mobius said, somewhat regretfully.

"His story is touching, but if he were to really appear, I certainly wouldn't be able to tolerate him~" Elysia said with a light laugh, but she didn't seem to hate him either.

"Sigh, if only he could be like a normal Schicksal Overseer. What does he mean I'm rebellious? I'm not like that at all," Theresa said, feeling a surge of anger.

She often browsing the internet, she liked to read comments about herself, only to return each time in a bad mood.

Repeated defeats, repeated battles, unyielding spirit of loser.

Among them, the comment from that Elysian church believer was particularly infuriating.

It was truly despicable!!!

who are you!

if I find you I will show you directly what the greatness of this principal is!
