Chapter 256: Otto's Decision
Compared to the year-old stability of Teyvat's world, the world of Honkai next door has undergone drastic changes.
In the imaginary space, Kiana and Randell Tianyuan have successfully reached Otto's location, the Church of Imaginary Numbers.
"It's the seed of nothingness." Kiana said as she looked at the object burning with golden flames in front of the Order.
"Wait." Just as Kiana and Glolander were about to act, a voice interrupted them.
Otto's figure appeared in front of the two, and he didn't forget to salute the two of them: "As the master here, how can you let me not fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
As soon as Otto's words fell, his body began to change violently, and black armor like an episkeleton appeared on his body.
Seeing this, Kiana and Glolandel just glanced at each other, and together they attacked Otto, who had become a false god.
While resisting the attacks of these two people, the false god Otto did not forget to speak: "Annihilation is here, and a new star is born from this."
"This power belongs neither to mortals nor to the lawn."
"It is the primitive posture of the authority of imaginary numbers, the embodiment of the truth of the vast world."
"Let's savor the power of this false god."
"It's too noisy." Glondelle spoke.
Otto was not annoyed, but used his strength to cause obstacles to the two of them, and continued: "Come on, heroes, I am waiting for the fall, and I have already waited to take the lead. ”
"It's so noisy, can I please shut up?" Kiana said as she swung her sword.
"Okay, okay." Otto's somewhat helpless voice came from afar: "My acting skills do make me feel uncomfortable sometimes. ”
With the blessing of Otto's infinite water release and the villain's many buffs, Otto was also beaten back to his original form by Kiana and Glolander.
"I've taken you." Kiana raised her sword to Otto, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Ahem." Otto struggled to his feet and spoke to the two, "It's not over yet. ”
But he didn't resist, and let the attacks of the two hit him, and at the same time didn't forget to taunt the two: "As long as this space is still bathed in the gift of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, my authority will continue to regenerate."
"You guys. . . You can't kill me."
"The power that cannot be [reorganized] is absolutely infinite"
"You can't do it by relying on the law of emptiness."
As soon as Otto's words fell, Kiana knocked Otto into the air with a lift, and at the same time, Urlandel threw the black abyss in his hand at Otto, who was flying in mid-air, pinning Otto to the wall.
"Kiana, now."
"Let your authority go and bury you!" After Kiana finished speaking, she urged the power of the void with all her strength to Otto.
"Ahem." Otto feigned resistance, eventually revealing an inexplicable smile, before being wiped out in place by the power of the Void.
The complete disappearance of the pseudo-god's aura caused Otto's mental landscape to quickly disintegrate, allowing Kiana and Glondel to return to where they had started.
"Well done, Bianca, Kiana." Otto's voice rang out around them.
Eurandelle was surprised, "This voice—"
"Otto?" Kiana wondered.
"Don't be nervous. Two powerful warriors. ”
Otto relieved the two of them, "You have indeed reversed the rules above the 'false gods' in an instant, and made my spirit become the lonely ghost it is now. ”
"Soon, everything will settle according to your will, so until then, I want to congratulate you."
"Congratulations on your victory over domination and restraint, and on preventing me from destroying your history and your people."
"Of course...... Congratulations to myself, after all, I can say goodbye to my life without regrets. ”
"Bishop, we stopped that crazy plan in your mouth." Eulandel spoke, "Now, it's time to tell us your true purpose, right?" ”
"Ha, you're pretty persistent, Bianca." Otto chuckled and said, "Why, it's come to this—do you still not want to treat me as an enemy?" ”
"Of course I can't forgive you for what you've done to me. But I will not forget your cultivation of me. Eulandel replied, "And I still think so"
"Deep down, you still believe in some form, the things you teach us to believe."
"Oh, stubborn child." Otto listened to Urlander's words, and replied with some helplessness: "To be honest, from the very beginning today, I hoped that all of you would stand against me and treat me as a heinous person-"
"While the former did succeed, the latter did fail."
At this, Otto sighed and continued: "Well, should I be annoyed, or relieved? ”
In any case, you did overcome me, and in that moment you overcame Him behind me."
"This is a remarkable achievement—and with those experiences, you will overcome the Honkai and bring lasting light to the world you hold dear."
"And I'll have a chance...... I've done something similar to the world I hold dear. To be precise, to return a lost torch to her. ”
Listening to Otto's words, Kiana whispered, "She? ”
"Could it be that Glondelle also thought of something at this time.
"Hehe, looks like you've all guessed the answer, haven't you?" Otto replied nondeniably, "That's right. Before I was crushed by you, I was infinitely close to God, but after all I was a slave to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. ”
"I am firmly bound to the Essence World, and although I do have the power to reshape it, I have no freedom at all."
"So, I made such a bet from the beginning—"
"I bet that the human will can create instantaneous miracles, and can make the [law] of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers disordered and subdued in that short moment."
"Kiana Kaslana. I used to call K423 my child. In the past, the power of love has made you do this—"
"Now, I've proven that anger can do the same. I bet my last hope of resurrection Karen on this. And it turned out that I did win. ”
"The miracle that only the Void Lawgiver can create, the [Imaginary Space Reorganization] that causes everything that was originally [infinite] to stagnate in an instant——"
"It has allowed the wedge of the world, the origin that I have carefully chosen, to take root and sprout in the new soil."
"This is something I could not have done as a slave when I had authority in my hands."
After listening to Otto's story, Urlandel analyzed: "That is to say, in order to reshape the world of five hundred years ago, you must transcend reality, become a part of the imaginary space, and become a [slave] of the imaginary tree."
"And in order to change that world, to change that person's fate, you have to exile yourself from it? Even if the result of this is . You're going to die. Even your existence will come to an end completely. ”
"Of course. Don't you think it's a joy for everyone now? Otto said flatly, "It's like Prometheus stole the Heavenly Fire—"
"In that miraculous moment, I was able to bring the transcendent power of the [Tree of Imaginary Numbers] to the [wedge of the world]."
"It has created a path in history, and it has made it unnecessary for me to destroy the [world] you love."
"Although the latter is not important to me, but"
"Thank you for allowing me to witness the miracle that belongs only to me and her at the last moment of my life."
"I will eventually die with all my sins; And for those of you who still choose to move forward."
"The ladder to conquer the Collapse has now revealed to you the first stone steps; The road was winding and almost impassable—"
"But at the end of it, there is light, farewell, heroes."
When Otto said this, he suddenly thought of something important, and continued to say to the two: "Tell Teresa that it is a pity that her grandfather will not be able to attend her coronation. ”
"Wait a minute, Otto, what was the origin of that blonde girl when I became the Lawgiver of the Void that day?" Kiana hurriedly shouted, "The golden power in her hand has a deep threat to the Honkai, and she was eventually brought back by the golden branches that grew out of the void. ”
"Oh? And that's what I'd like to say to you. Otto continued: "It is another power other than the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and it seems that his appearance was created to suppress the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but I am not completely sure where her power comes from. ”
"But what I know for sure is that this is a power that belongs to the [gods], not a false god like me who is bound by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, but a real god."
"Do gods really exist?" Kiana wondered.
"You'll have to find out for yourselves, and maybe in the end, you might actually meet the gods." Otto replied, "This time, it's really goodbye." ”
After saying that, under their gaze, his soul drifted into the distance, to nothingness, to the final hope, leaving only two young girls full of new doubts.
Kiana: "."
Glondelle: "."
On the other side, Otto's consciousness reappeared in a red space, and he hobbled towards his distant target, clutching a golden branch tightly in his hand.
As Otto walked forward, he recalled: "Life. . . It's a fragile thing. ”
"When I was a kid. My sister died on the battlefield."
"They told me that her soul was immortal and that her spirit would ascend to heaven."
"From generation to generation, human beings have always been happy to deceive themselves with such lies, believing in the so-called afterlife, believing in the eternity of consciousness."
"They disguise the world as if there is no such thing as death."
"Until death suddenly invades their lives and befalls their loved ones."
"Even, at such a time, they will deceive themselves even harder—"
"I believe that love can transcend all things, and I firmly believe that love can be eternal."
"Indeed, love, and more broadly emotions, they can cause miracles."
"But the miracle can only be the person who is still alive at that moment."
"As an ordinary person who has been deceived by them, I have also fantasized that the human soul exists in a higher dimension; I fantasize that one day my loved one can return to the world with the help of a new body and live in a better future! ”
"It's a pity that the rules of the world are not like that"
"The life of death is the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything—"
"We can't continue the stars that have dissipated."
"Unless, we turn back time and awaken the island of the silent grave; Re-inject the evergreen water of life into the past that buried everything. ”
"The dichotomy will unfold there again, and the choice between life and death will henceforth form two worlds."
"And the price. But the death of a man, the destruction of a man. and the collapse that was meant to kill us in the first place. ”
"It's a pity that when he realized this truth, Otto Apocalis, he was already a world-famous villain, and he was already hated by the power he needed most."
"But it doesn't hurt. [She] has proved that the anger of love can have the same power as love. ”
"And behind such a hero - Teresa, my dear granddaughter, you are growing into a great leader"
"In time. You will eventually make people forget your grandfather, let his merits and demerits be annihilated in history, and disappear in conversation. ”
"It's just. Eat a little fruit and vegetables other than bitter gourd once in a while. At this point, Otto's words softened.
He continued: "You always stay up late, and your body should be supplemented with more nutrients. ”
"You know what. Tomorrow's coronation, Grandpa will sew the archbishop's shoulder coat for you with his own hands."
"If you don't dislike it, then use it to start your own era and wash away the stains that those words have left on it."
Delisa. Those [old friends] of mine, the Red Kite Immortals, the Lawgivers of Reason."
"They are genuinely good people and will definitely help you forge a path of your own. And Bianca, my last student. I manipulated your life, planned your destiny, and on the one hand, I gave you the true feelings of cultivation, and on the other hand, I used you as a pawn to take and demand. ”
"You know what. All I have shown you in these last ten years is just that someone can erect a wordless monument to me after such an extinction. ”
"I don't need anyone to judge me."
"After all, this long and short five hundred years is just all that a man can give for his own wishful thinking."
"He has now reached the end of his journey—what he will accomplish, what he will witness, what he will redeem."
"They have taken root in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, just waiting for the lost messenger to deliver the last message before it is all over."
"It won't be too soon, it's not too late, it's going to be a requiem across death, it's going to be a hymn to the miracle."
"The world will turn in that moment for only one person......"
"Let the imposed iniquity vanish, and let the will that was put to an end go forward."
"Mean, it will be brought to the grave by me; The light will reach out to the future because of you. ”
Otto: "."
Otto was silent for a while and sighed: "I have fooled my friends, my loved ones, the world and the rules above it"
"Just to give the only real you, a second life."
"I'm back. Karen. ”
Otto drew closer and closer to the spherical tree in the center, and a number of humanoid objects made of red matter appeared on the ground.
"When a person really wants to change the world."
"Only then will you discover how small a person's power is."
"The saint gave everything for the people, but in exchange for endless shackles and nooses. The world is so chaotic that it is neither fair nor reasonable. ”
"It persecutes heroes, nourishes evil, is ugly, and there is nothing left in the good."
Otto walked to the destination, looked at the scene not far away with a firm look in his eyes and said: "The world is unfair, there are wicked people, come and cut it off!" ”
In Otto's hand, a flaming greatsword appeared, and he leapt high and smashed the greatsword between the humanoids.
Under Otto's intervention, the trajectory of the world is also quietly moving, and the world has divided into a parallel world, and Kalian, who is waiting to be judged on the gallows, breaks free from the shackles under the intervention of a Honkai beast that suddenly descends outside the church.
Otto finally defeated all the obstacles and came to the golden tree-like object, and as soon as he reached out his hand, a black blade-like chain passed through his body, and Karen on the other side was also pierced by the Honkaimon.
"Is this what I turned out to be?" Otto's eyes widened, staring at the trees not far ahead, and in a trance, he saw the phantom of Karen smiling back at him.
"Once a person's soul is gone, then it can't be brought back to life, the world allows consciousness to rematch with a new container, but it doesn't allow the container to collect the dissipated consciousness, if you want to save Karen, then I can only create new possibilities in the past."
Otto used the Void Treasure to break free from the chains that ran through him, and he placed his hand on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, as one side of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers began to rapidly produce a branch.
"This other future will be, a time and space that belongs to her."
After Otto did this, his body could no longer bear it and fell backwards, and at the same time, a burst of applause rang out from behind, causing Otto's eyes that had been closed peacefully to open suddenly.
"It's a wonderful battle, I didn't expect you to use the power I gave to the end, it's a pity." Tassel sensed the anomaly of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and came here to see Otto changing his so-called fate.
The Tree of Imaginary Numbers in front of you is not really a Tree of Imaginary Numbers, it is only a manifestation of the power of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and in addition to this, it can also control the operation of this world.
"Ahem, it's you." Otto heard this voice and said, "My goal has been achieved, so I don't need your strength anymore, and our deal can be nullified, right?" ”
"Are you so willing? Paying so much, just to create a parallel world that belongs to her? Tassel smiled and said, "Why don't you save her in your own world, in the long river of time?" ”
"I can't do all this you said, so what if I'm unwilling? This is not something that people can do, the tree of imaginary numbers has its own laws, and people cannot be brought back to life when they die. Otto muttered.
"Having said that, is this the space of the Imaginary Tree of Imaginary Numbers, it looks quite interesting, but a small tree carries a world, oh no, this is not the real Imaginary Tree of Numbers."
"Who the hell are you?" Otto asked.
"The embodiment of the will to break." Tassel replied.
Otto: "."
"How did you get here?" Otto was silent for a moment before continuing to ask, not believing the tassel at all.
"Of course, it was this branch in your hand that allowed me to successfully locate this space, although I can find this space by my own strength, but it is still a little troublesome to implement, but if there is positioning, it will be much more convenient." Tassel jaw head.
"Hehe, worthy of a god, what do you want me to do when you tell me this?"
"Well, I'm very conscious, I need your help to plunder the Honkai energy of this world." Tassel nodded: "Of course, the reward is to let you get the world you want." ”
Otto listened to Tassel's words and asked with some confusion: "Plunder Honkai energy?" Why should I do this? ”
"Because as a human being, you're selfish, and you're weak. It's up to you to do it, and you'll do whatever it takes to get your goals done, so it's a wise decision to leave it to you. Tassel replied flatly.
Otto: "."
Although I feel that what you say makes sense, I feel that you are scolding me.
"What is your purpose in collecting Honkai energy?" Otto was silent for a moment and continued to ask.
Tassel replied, "Purpose? I haven't figured it out yet, but I think it's definitely fun to collect these. ”
Otto: "."
"If there is no objection, just accept the golden branch, you can't be a man, you should always be a god, right?" Tassel said to the silent Otto.
"God? Can I be a god too? Otto was surprised when he heard the tassel's words: "Your so-called [god] can't be also a [false god], right?" Bind me to a particular world, like the authority of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. ”
Tassel shook his head and said: "Of course it is the real [God], a god with infinite possibilities, as a [God], you are extremely free, and the world is at your disposal, but there are still some small problems, after all, the thinking of [God] is still different from that of people." Tassel explained.
Otto weighed it and nodded at the tassel and said, "I promised, and I will do what you say." ”
"Wise decision, you will definitely be proud of your decision in the future."
"I don't know what I will be like in the future, but I know that if I don't accept it now, then I won't have a new future, and it's a good thing to be a [god] compared to it, and the main thing is that what you let me deal with is Honkai." Otto shook his head.
Then he picked it up, and the golden branch that fell next to the Void Wanzang, pinched it fiercely, and the golden energy entered his body, and the injuries he received before were also recovering quickly.
"Is this the power of being a god? Time, space, dimension, all of this is clearly displayed in the mind. Otto got used to the power of the moment.
Looking at Otto, who was about to make some moves, Tassel reminded on the side: "Hehe, I want to remind you that you can't bear the cause and effect of changing time now, if you want to change time directly, then the cause and effect of the world's backlash will all fall on you, and your current ability will be swallowed up by it, and even I can't save you." ”
"I see, gods are not omnipotent." Listening to the tassel's words, Otto stopped what he wanted to do and said with some disappointment.
Tassel shook his head and said, "No, the gods are omnipotent, and the reason why you are like this is just that you are too weak." ”
"You mean, as long as I'm strong enough to be able to completely rewrite the world?" Otto asked.
"Hmm." Tassel bowed his head and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”
After the tassel finished speaking, the figure disappeared into this space.
"Hehe, god." Looking at the place where the tassel disappeared, Otto's eyes flashed: "Karen, wait for me, the gods that belong to you alone are working for you." ”
