Chapter 123 Otto’s Plan
The video continues, Otto negotiates with the Herrscher of the Sky, "She is my friend, I don't want her to get hurt."
Otto's tone was still playful and frivolous, just like his usual cynical self.
But the Herrscher of the Void did not think so. It was not Otto, but the blood cones that made her feel uncomfortable instinctively.
It was a familiar, yet unrecognizable substance. The Herrscher of the Void was thinking whether he should fight this clown here...
Herrscher of the Void: "Hmph... She's not worth my effort. Since you want her, I'll leave her to you."
The Herrscher of the Sky decided not to go to war with him, as she sensed the same aura from Otto.
And, different from my own, another kind of bottomless obsession.
Otto: "As expected, you are the Herrscher of the Void who caused the greatest natural disaster in human history, the Second Collapse."
"Not only does he possess power comparable to that of God, but his foresight to see the big picture is truly remarkable."
Herrscher of the Void: "What a boring compliment. I am not interested in you. Those girls are my target."
"But someone like you actually became the king of mankind. Humanity, it's really sad."
The Herrscher of the Void threw Fu Hua aside with disgust, then turned sideways and disappeared into the void.
[Traveler Ying] "What are those blood cones on Otto's body? It seems that the Herrscher of the Void is very cautious about them."
[Otto] "Since this friend wants to know what those are, I will reluctantly introduce them to you."
"Those are weapons I developed to fight Herrscher using the holy blood of Shaniyat, or more simply, the blood of Cecilia, the strongest Valkyrie in the past. Although they have some flaws, they are enough to cause damage to Herrscher."
[Hersher of the Sky] "It turns out that it was made from Cecilia's mother's blood. No wonder I can feel discomfort even through the screen."
[Paimon] "Is it because the holy blood of Shaniyat has a certain restraint on you?"
[Hersher of the Sky] "No, because that is Cecilia's mother's blood. I basically have some aversion to weapons related to her. It reminds me of the past..."
In the video, as the Herrscher of the Sky left, Otto walked towards Fu Hua who was lying on the ground and looked down at her.
Otto: "Ah... you look so miserable. The last time I saw you so badly injured was five hundred years ago at Sky Dome Peak."
"Anyway, I'll just treat you first, as a way of congratulating you on the successful completion of the first phase of the experiment."
Fu Hua said with difficulty, "...Why..."
Otto: "Well, can you still talk?"
Fu Hua: "Why... let her go... don't you know... her goal is..."
Otto: "It's Theresa. I know. I'm afraid they will be caught up soon. There won't be anyone else to mess things up this time."
"Their fight will go on till the end."
[Paimon] "Isn't Theresa your granddaughter? You just let the Herrscher leave and put Theresa in danger?"
[Theresa] "Grandpa, no, Otto, in your eyes, am I also a dispensable... tool?"
[Otto] "No, little Theresa, you are irreplaceable in my heart, in the past, now, and even in the future."
[Theresa] "But what you said in the video..."
[Otto] "After all, we have to complete the play. Although the scene in the video shows that there are only Fu Hua and I, I should have wanted to use words to make little Theresa realize..."
"Her grandfather is not as kind and amiable as she imagined. She has to learn to question Otto Apocalis's behavior and rebel against him. So it is inevitable that I will do something extreme."
[Kiana] "Hmm... I feel dizzy. Why did you make your aunt hate you?"
[Otto] "...Because only in this way can she not become someone like me."
[Captain] "It's really hard to judge you..."
The video continued, Fu Hua looked at Otto in disbelief "What did you say...?"
Otto: "By the way, I haven't told you yet. Don't worry, it must be good news for you."
"K423 is not dead yet, and I need her to live... Right now, there are two consciousnesses living in that body."
"The consciousness of K423, whom you call Kiana, and the consciousness of Sirin, the Herrscher of the Sky."
"After absorbing the Serenity Gem and the high concentration of Honkai Energy... the consciousness of Sirin that resided in that body began to activate and successfully occupied the container. Ultimately, it led to the reawakening of the Herrscher of the Void."
"Heh, but this is not the ending I want. We call this the first stage. What comes next... is the real experiment."
"K423's consciousness fell into a deep sleep due to the awakening of the Herrscher, but she did not disappear. So, if the other way around, K423's consciousness defeated Sirin's consciousness, what would happen?"
"The answer is that a human being with the power of a Herrscher will be born. This has been confirmed by the Third and Fourth Herrschers."
"Even if the Herrscher's consciousness is suppressed, the Herrscher's power will not disappear."
"It is much easier to control a human than a Herrscher."
[Doctor] "K423, this name sounds like the name of an experimental subject. Let me guess, the so-called Kiana should be a clone created from the genes of the original Kiana."
[Otto] "My friend, you are right."
[Kiana] "So this is my true origin?"
[The Book of Cangxuan] "Kiana, don't you care?"
[Kiana] "It's nothing. If it was before, I might have cared. Now I have my mom, Mei, sister, aunt, and dad. They all love me, and I love them too. My previous identity doesn't matter to me now."
Otto: "Of course it will not be easy for K423's consciousness to win, but it is not impossible."
Fu Hua: “Could it be that…?!”
Otto: "I think you have guessed it. Yes, it is [emotion]. Emotion will create miracles."
Fu Hua: “…You…!!”
Otto "I have always believed that the deep affection between people will turn into the purest and most powerful force."
"During the two years that K423 enrolled at St. Freya's Academy... a [bond] was formed in their hearts that could not be severed."
"These happy and warm memories will turn into the power of K423 to tear apart the heart of the Herrscher who does not know what love is."
Fu Hua: "They...will be killed...!"
Otto: "I understand. The difference in combat power is obvious. But I cannot offer them help. No outsiders can interfere in this sacred battle."
"It is in such desperate situations that humanity will shine most brightly. According to my calculations, when the sacrifice appears, K423 will take back this body..."
"I believe in Theresa and her students. Killing the Herrscher with love is a feat that only they can accomplish."
