Kallen Kaslana must die

And as the Herrscher of Sentience in the game planned to conquer Honkai and maintain world peace, when everyone outside the game covered their mouths and snickered.

Suddenly, her victory dance was interrupted by a surprise visitor! A blonde man appeared out of nowhere, which totally freaked out the Herrscher of Sentience for a second.

But she's a tough cookie, so she recovered fast and was ready to face whatever this blonde stranger brought.

The Herrscher of Sentience scowled. "Yes, how could you die so easily?" Despite the frown, a strange, tight smile played on her lips. Her fists clenched as she glared at the figure in front of her.

"Well, technically I did, but fortunately, the spare body was not placed in the same place…" the figure replied nonchalantly.

As he turned around, the Herrscher recognized the face – it was Otto, the same guy who just wouldn't stay dead!

"Ugh, not this again!" she groaned. "Fine, if wiping out half of Schicksal wasn't enough to get rid of you, let's just flatten the whole organization this time! Maybe that'll do the trick!"

The Herrscher of Sentience was clearly frustrated. How many times did she have to kill this guy so he stay dead?

"... Wait a minute, " Otto took a step back slightly and looked at the other person.

As early as that time, he had already judged that the person in front of him was definitely not his old friend. The Red Kite Immortal made a decision and then acted. This person, though... they seemed to be copying Red Kite's style, but in a weird, almost childish way.

That was annoying, sure, but what truly worried Otto was the possibility of something more dangerous.

What if this person wasn't just copying Red Kite, but was completely unpredictable? That could be a real problem.

"You are not a bad person." otto said, try coax this little red kite

The Herrscher of Sentience scoffed, her voice booming a little. "Of course I'm not a bad guy! I'm fighting for what's right!"

Otto smirked slightly, a hint of a plan forming in his mind. This outburst wasn't a surprise. He figured some negotiation might be possible.

"Then perhaps we can make some sense out of this situation." Otto continued, one hand casually tucked behind his back. He always liked to appear confident, even in a tense situation like this.

"I did kill you, I admit that is my crime. When you woke up, you wanted to take revenge and so I did not resist when you did so. One life for another, I believe we have settled debts with each other."

The Herrscher of Sentience scoffed. "Even? That's your brilliant comeback? Like some kind of weird debt settlement? You think taking out one of your many clones makes us even? Especially when you're still standing right here?"

"——You really think that makes is even for both us!?"

"I killed you, and you killed me ; I resurrected, and you were reborn. Wasn't it because I treated your body carefully that I gave you a chance to be reborn?" Otto said, trying to reason.

A sly smile crept across Otto's face. "So, technically, you might even owe me a little something, my old friend."

Of course, Otto couldn't reveal everything just yet, unless she was willing to admit that she was not Fu Hua, and then said that Fu Hua was dead.

But, how is that possible?

The woman stood there, stunned into silence for a moment. Otto, ever the opportunist, used this chance to speak.

"Don't you see?" he said, trying to sound reasonable. "Those fighting you are the Valkyries, protectors of humanity and all beauty of world. They're not your enemy, like me perhaps." He emphasized the "me" with a sly glint in his eyes.

There is no need to continue to persecute Schicksal, right?

Hua (?), her face contorted with a mix of anger and confusion, seemed like she wanted to retort. But in the end, she remained silent.

Her only response was a disgusted scoff as she spat at Otto's feet.

With a final glare, she turned and stormed off, leaving Otto standing alone, his plan for peaceful negotiation a complete failure.

...

"Little Senti is really cute~ "

Elysia's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Just like that, she was deceived by the enemy and got coaxed into Kevin's place."

"Don't use cute to describe me, you pink-haired woman. "

The Herrscher of Sentience swatted away the extended devil's hand - trying to touch the headdress on her head, her expression was not very good.

In my impression, she doesn't seem to be that interested with old antiques, right?

Why are you so interested in me now? It's really annoying.

"I admit that I was a little careless at the time and was persuaded by the other party's reasons. After all, his reasons did make some sense..."

"Look, I didn't die, and he didn't die either; I died once because of him, and he died once because of me. I can't find a reason to refute it for a while. This is normal."

The Herrscher of Sentience said with some reluctance, looking a little embarrassed.

"... Inexplicably, I feel that what that guy said makes sense." Kalpas said coldly,

"Oh? What made you think so Kalpas?"

The Herrscher of Sentience weighed her past friendship with him (in her memory), and he shouldn't be the type to fight immediately, so she spoke.

"No, I don't mean this, I mean what he said before... It is easier to control a human being than to control the Herrscher. " Kalpas thought about it and spoke.

Compared with the Herrscher who only knows how to fight, it seems that it is easier to get tricked in a few words. In that case, maybe Dr. Mei will become the person who destroys the most Herrschers...

"... Then can you think of a few words to help me refute him? If you do I'll go ahead and give the bastard a good one-two in the face.~"

"Huh? Refutation ? Start from the first sentence."

"Are you not a bad person? " The corners of the Herrschers of sentience mouth twitched, and she could already guess the answer Kalpas would give,

"No, I am, and then I punch him in the face. " Kalpas nodded and said.

He never felt that he was a good person, and the Herrscher who ruined half of his Schicksal couldn't be a good person, so he just refuted him at the beginning.

"Tsk, I knew your method was confusing, but he bullied me just after I woke up. " The Herrscher of Sentience spread her hands and said helplessly.

"So you really spat at his feet? " Elysia stretched her head over and said a little amused.

"Otherwise? Spit in the face? What he said makes sense. You shouldn't destroy Schicksal to fight with him. He is him, and Schicksal is Schicksal, "

The Herrscher of Sentience held her chin with one hand and said lazily, "I am a warrior who wants to fight against Honkai! "

"Oh, if only all Herrschers were as reasonable as Little Senti, wouldn't Honkai be easily solved? " Elysia sighed and spoke.

Her words made the Herrscher of Sentience ease up and relax, then she narrowed her eyes.

"What good things are you thinking about? If everyone were like her..." Mobius was halfway through her words when she remembered that she planned to have a good relationship with the Herrscher of Sentience so that they could complete experimental research together in the future. " At once..."

"That's it?"

" It doesn't reflect the uniqueness of the Herrscher of Sentience. " Then, Mobius nodded with deep approval.

Even Kalpas and Vill-V looked at her strangely, wondering why she suddenly changed her words.

Mobius in front of them must be planning something, this thought flashed through their minds instantly. If someone gets sick or something weird inexplicably happens in the near future then it'll be Mobius' doing.

Otto spun another web of lies and half-truths, somehow managing to convince the Herrscher of Sentience to change course.

Her next target? The World Serpent's HQ, where the big bad Kevin hangs out.

Now, the Herrscher wasn't naive. She knew this wouldn't be a walk in the park. Kevin was no pushover. But this time, she felt different. This time, she was confident she could take him down.

"In terms of Honkai Energy's adaptability, KEVIN is better than me; in terms of combat skills, I'm better than him. I'd lose if he uses the Judgment of Shamash right away, but if I use Fenghuang Down well..." She thought secretly in her heart.

She closed her eyes, picturing the incredible feeling that surged through her in the past 500 years whenever she used it – the smooth flow of power, the surge of health and strength, the lightness on her feet, the wind whipping past her.

It was pure awesomeness!

With newfound confidence coursing through her veins, the Herrscher knew one thing for sure: Kevin wouldn't stand a chance this time around.

On top of everything, the Herrscher just used this Fenghuang Down thing on Otto and straight-up 'stole' some of his memories! And Otto didn't even flinch! That totally convinced her this Fenghuang Down was the real deal.

---

"Besides, I'm not afraid. Even with the forerunner Kevin, I can still give him a 50-50 fight! " It is the voice of the Herrscher of Sentience.

Although it is slightly blurry due to electronic recording, her voice and tone are extremely recognizable.

But the words just now were naturally not spoken by the Herrscher of Sentience in the plot, but Luo Mo turned on the tape recorder and played it at the right time.

He felt that now was one of the best times. As for this passage, he would certainly treasure it for a long time.

"Wait a minute," the Herrscher of Sentience said, her voice laced with both annoyance and amusement. "You're telling me you only wrote this whole thing to mess with me right now?"

It was clear the Herrscher could tell the other person enjoyed a good laugh. After all, how else would someone become a friend she actually acknowledged?

Still, that didn't mean things were all sunshine and rainbows.

"I, the Herrscher of Sentience," she declared, puffing out her chest a bit, "don't waste time with empty threats or bragging."

"Look," she continued, "there's a saying, 'clean hands, clean conscience,' right? I stand by what I said. My analysis is spot on."

The Herrscher of Sentience subconsciously puffed up her chest, her face full of confidence. Even in front of the half-right person, that is, Kevin's SIM, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Kevin didn't say anything, just glanced at her without arguing with her.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if the game will know what memory I acquired. If it knew, that would be amazing."

The Herrscher of Sentience knocked the Black Kite doll in her hand and said so.

---

These memories she 'stole'? Apparently, they were super important to Otto, like his biggest regret. The kind of stuff he buried deep down and never wanted anyone to see.

Maybe it had something to do with saving a girl named Kallen back in the day.

Speaking of the past, things got rough for Schicksal after that whole expedition went belly-up. Each of the three big families in the organization got hit pretty hard in different ways.

Out of the three Schicksal families, the Kaslana's got hit the worst. They were on the front lines, and they lost a ton of people, including their patriarch!

Things got even messier when it came out that Kallen snagged this mysterious black box during the mess.

The big shot in Schicksal alliance like most noble saw this as their chance to weaken the three families and take some of their power. Now, Kallen was public enemy number one.

Between the family being crippled, the whole expedition failing, and enemies circling like vultures, things couldn't have been worse for Otto.

But nothing compared to the sting of those words the old man on the stage spoke.

"Kallen Kaslana... must die."

The words echoed in the room, leaving Otto feeling like the world had tilted on its axis. The woman he loved, sentenced to death. He'd begged everyone he could think of, tried every trick in the book, but nothing worked.

And now, here he was, standing before his own father... a last resort. But even his father's answer was a punch to the gut: "Kallen must die."

Those words echoed over and over in Otto's mind, drowning out everything else. He felt numb, barely registering his father's next words.

It was hard to believe. Here was Otto, who everyone later knew as this super powerful leader, completely lost in his own head, his emotions controlling him.

One weakness exposed, and all his fight seemed to drain away.

But the old man didn't just stand there and judge. He did something unexpected. First, he threw Otto a bone, praising him a bit. Then, he laid out his plan to take down those stuck-up nobles in charge.

Finally, he offered Otto a solution, the only way to save Kallen: marry her.

This was straight out of a dream.

The perfect timing, the perfect place, the perfect person – everything Otto ever wanted was practically handed to him. Marrying the only woman he'd ever loved, a scene he'd replayed in his head countless times.

But he was not happy at all.

not at all.

Because he knew that Kallen would not agree.

He knew that Kallen would rather be executed than surrender.

---

"Marrying Kallen? That was always Otto's ultimate dream. This whole thing – the timing, the situation, everything – it was like his dream come true. But of course, knowing Kallen, she wouldn't just bend over backwards for some marriage deal." The Herrscher of Sentience clicked her tongue.

This whole plan could have a huge impact on the world, shake things up real good… or bad

But forget 'could' – Otto's Lover died hundred years ago, and ever since, he's been obsessed with finding a way to bring her back.

The world? Yeah, that probably doesn't matter as much to him as a single strand of Kallen's hair.

"Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if Kallen pretended to agree? "

Elysia was a little curious. She admitted that she was a little curious about the development between these two people. The story must not be simple ~

Luo Mo's eyes were a little complicated. "For Otto, Kallen was like a holy figure, his love for her bordering on religious devotion."

Otto's past mistakes haunted him.

Even though he would later have all the power in the world, he still couldn't protect a person's life or death at that time.

"Kallen, on the other hand, was a true saint. She wouldn't back down from a fight, and she wouldn't shy away from her mistakes."

"That's why it became the eternal light in Otto's heart. He always believed that if people like Kallen couldn't live in the world, then there must be something wrong with the world."

"world is mistake…?"

"What kind of lunatic..." Mobius's mouth was a little confused.

Is he really a five-hundred-year-old missionary? Now he's projecting his faith into Schicksal.

"What kind of world is it where people like that can't even survive?" Eden mused, a sad smile playing on her lips.

She swirled the wine in her glass, the crimson liquid swirling like a reflection of that fateful night.

Lifting her head, she gazed at Ellie, the bubbly pink-haired girl who always seemed to be teasing the Herrscher of Sentience. Eden couldn't help but murmur, a touch of intoxication in her voice, "Maybe it's not so crazy after all..."

"Hold on a minute," the Herrscher paused, a new thought striking her. "Maybe that Otto guy has a point. Think about it – in Kallen's world, everything's peaceful, right? No need to worry about Schicksal cooking up crazy plans to create Herrschers, no Saint Freya rebelling..." She sighed, the weight of the situation settling on her.

From her point of view, the world may or may not be a better place, but of course, the premise is that it can survive the Honkai.

Elysia, intrigued by this new perspective, couldn't help but ask, "But What about the follow-up? what happens next in that world? What's the long-term plan?"

"The follow-up is just a tragedy... Alas, for now, let's continue watching Little Senti on her journey of demolishing someone's house~" Luo Mo sighed silently, waved his hands and said.

"What do you mean by my house-breaking trip? Why do you say I'm like a husky? You have to be careful what you say. Don't think that just because you summoned me into this world I wouldn't dare hit you!"

Luo Mo chuckled. "Oh, come on, it's basically a rampage. Kevin brought out his entire base to welcome you, like a state visit for a visiting VIP. Talk about overkill, right?"

The Herrscher of Sentience crossed her arms and thought for a moment. "...Yeah, okay, that was a bit much."

...

Being free from Schicksal... for the Herrscher of Sentience, that meant pure, unadulterated freedom.

No more rules, no nagging, no one breathing down her neck about what she could or couldn't do.

The whole world was her playground!

So, she decided to go with her idea and meet her old friend, and see if he had any feathers she had left behind.

The Herrscher of Sentience finally broke free from Schicksal's control and headed straight for the World Serpent base.

There, she bumped into Jackal, one of the bigwigs there. What started as a friendly catch-up quickly turned into a full-blown brawl.

Their conversation escalated faster than a hummingbird on Red Bull.

From a casual visit, it went straight to a break-in, and then... well, let's just say things got messy. The Herrscher wasn't exactly known for her gentle touch.

A blocked door was directly punched through by the Herrscher of Sentience with her fists.

Although the Fenghuang Down couldn't affect the bunch of mechanical creations, they were still nothing more than a pile of scrap metal in the hands of the Red Kite Immortal in her heyday.

Trash talk flew faster than punches as the two of them went at it verbally.

"A measly Herrscher thinks she can just barge into the World Serpent's base?!" Jackal roared. "This is our world!"

The Herrscher of sentience scoffed. "Fifty thousand years behind the times with that rusty tech of yours! Pathetic!"

Just when Jackal decided to take all the treasures prepared by the World Serpent for Herrscher.

Finally, Kevin came behind her, glanced at her quietly, and stopped the farce.

...

"Grey Serpent... you will retain central control of our base, as for Jackal... she... just make her experiment quietly." After reading the plot, Kevin's flat voice came from the dark.

"Yes, Lord."

Gray bowed slightly, clenching his right hand and placing it on his left chest to show respect.

He had a similar thought just now. Resources should be used according to the situation, and should not be squandered indiscriminately.

do you have to throw everything at Herrscher of Sentience?

Jackal has been blacklisted by Gray Snake, and she cannot be allowed to take charge of the base alone.
