What on earth did Kallen ever do to you!

"However, I do not wish to meet Kallen in a way that would tarnish Kallen beliefs."

Looking at Otto, who was trying to say something but was stunned by her words, Yae Sakura's expression suddenly returned to calm.

"I have done many wrong things in the past, and because of the resentment in my heart, I have made irreparable mistakes."

"But at that time, Kallen protected me, who had made a mistake, and allowed my soul to be preserved."

"I firmly believe that Kallen protected not only me, but also everyone else."

"And now, you, who were once recognized by Kallen, have done so many things that harm others."

"Otto Apocalypse, in my opinion now—you, who betrayed her trust, have no right to mention Kallen Kaslana's name!"

"No, that's not right, I—"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

At that moment, Yae Sakura slashed at Otto.

"Farewell, Mr. Otto Apocalypse, whom I am meeting for the first time."

"But someone like you who can't go to heaven probably won't be able to see Kallen again after you die."

As the Miko who defied the gods swung her katana, the last Otto on the scene completely lost consciousness.

After all this was done, everyone looked at Lin Yu, who had been tacitly recognized as the leader.

"Ah, everyone..."

Seeing the questioning looks in everyone's eyes, Lin Yu thought for a moment and then spoke to them.

"Leave the rest to me."

After everything that's happened, I think...

"I probably need to talk to Otto alone and make a clean break with him."

"I see."

Looking at Lin Yu, whose eyes held a strange expression, Fu Hua asked somewhat uneasily.

"Lin Yu, you... you don't intend to do anything foolish, do you?"

"Master, I am very clear-headed now, more so than ever before."

"Okay, I see. Then we'll clean up the scene, Otto will be in your care."

After listening to the conversation between the two, the others didn't say much, but instead began to deal with the scattered pieces of soul steel.

As for Kiana, she looked at Lin Yu great concern and asked him a question.

"Senior, what are you doing now..."

"You don't need to take me there, you can just go with the others."

Only one person is left, so...

After using his Dominion Theater teleportation ability to move himself to the man's location, Lin Yu gripped the Jizo Mitama tightly and slowly walked towards him.

Once we get rid of this guy, it'll all be over.

"Lin Yu, you're here."

As Lin Yu slowly walked towards him, Otto's face showed none of the panic and resentment Lin Yu had imagined.

At this moment, he revealed a warm smile, just as he usually pretended.

"Yes, I'm here."

"Actually, I've thought about this for a long time, and I really feel that there's no need for us to continue fighting each other."

Looking at Lin Yu, whose expression remained calm and composed, Otto smiled and said to Lin Yu.

"You wanted to Dominion Theater, and you've got it now, but I think even with God's support, you still won't be able to control it."

"I want to make a deal with you. If you agree to my request, I don't mind handing over the Dominion Theater and the Dominance Core to you right now."

"And if you don't agree..."

At this point, Otto suddenly seemed to realize something and deliberately stopped talking.

"At this point, it seems unnecessary to provoke you."

"Well, I've basically given up now. In this situation, are you willing to listen to my request?"

"Since I'm already doomed to lose anyway, listening to a few words from me at this point won't do you any harm, right?"

Chapter 301. What did Kallen do to you?!

Faced with Otto's request, Lin Yu did not, as Otto had imagined, stab Otto first.

And facing Lin Yu, who was now willing to listen to him, Otto truly felt...

—I felt even more uneasy.

If Lin Yu had stabbed him right away, it would have shown that Lin Yu had been suppressing his resentment and was not entirely calm.

But now, Lin Yu was calmly waiting for Otto to continue, which made Otto feel uneasy.

This either means he wasn't really angry, or it means his scheming was deeper than Otto imagined.

In either case, it's not a good thing for Otto.

"What's wrong, Bishop Otto?"

Seeing Otto suddenly fall silent, Lin Yu gently reminded him.

"Didn't you want to talk about a deal? Tell me, what kind of deal are you planning to bring up at a time like this?"

"I've thought it over and over, but I don't think you have any trump cards up your sleeve right now, so..."

"—Now, I don't mind giving a former archbishop a final bit of respect before he dies, a respect you don't deserve."

"Heh, are you sure?"

Looking at Lin Yu in front of him, Otto said with a hint of surprise.

"You should already know about the Rebirth Program, right?"

"Although such a program is difficult for ordinary computers to accommodate, I have already mastered some of the technologies of the Previous Era through the Void Archive over the past five hundred years."

"Using these technologies from the Previous Era, I have laid out Rebirth Program and Soul Steel bodies all over the world that can revive me."

"It would be pointless for you to kill me here now."

"After all, as long as the people inside the base don't receive my daily communications, they will assume that Otto is dead and immediately initiate the Rebirth Program."

"I will die, but Otto Apocalypse will not die."

"After I die, the new Otto will not know what happened, but he will know that he has reached a dead end."

At this point, Otto, who had previously said he didn't want to provoke Lin Yu, had no choice but to utter threatening words.

"So now, guess what Otto, now that he's in dire straits and realizes he can't turn the tide and that his plan is impossible to complete, will do?"

"Well, probably just like more than fifty years ago, they'll furiously launch Honkai Energy Fission Bomb and other weapons at certain locations."

"Hmm, applause, you're very smart."

After clapping exaggeratedly, Otto smiled at Lin Yu and said...

"It is indeed a threat, but I really don't want to take things to this point unless it's absolutely necessary."

"I just want to fulfill my wish, and after I do, I can give you this body, this core, and the locations of those Soul Steel Bodies and the Rebirth Program."

"Please believe in my sincerity. After all, I must admit now that I underestimated you and have truly been driven into a corner by you."

"Well, since it's a transaction, please tell me what you want."

Why is he using the word "please"?

The calmer Lin Yu was, the more uneasy Otto felt.

But now that things had come to this, Otto had no other choice but to grit his teeth and continue speaking.

"It's very simple. Since you know Su Shang, you also know that I only want to revive Kallen Kaslana."

"Since you were able to resurrect Cecilia, who died many years ago, I believe you can resurrect Kallen as well."

When Otto mentioned this name, an uncontrollable look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"Compared to a despicable villain like me, Kallen is a holy, kind, and selfless hero who is willing to sacrifice herself for others."

"I think you'll get along well with her."

"You've only been active for about four months since your debut. Although I did misjudge you, I'm certain that Cecilia was resurrected during those four months."

"So, you spare my life, grant my wish, and in return, all of humanity will be free from the threat of this scoundrel—isn't that a good deal?"

"Wow, this is a great deal."

Faced with Otto's words, Lin Yu clapped his hands blankly.

"To be honest, I'm a little tempted."

Damn it, this guy...

I can't figure out what he's thinking.

Lin Yu is a good person, and the kind of good person who is so obsessive that he doesn't want any sacrifices to happen.

Someone like him, even if he doesn't immediately agree to my conditions, will at least consider them for a while.

Logically speaking, that's correct.

But why is it that I... can't see through his inner thoughts right now?

As for Otto, who made this condition, he was at least 50% sincere.

Of course, he was still thinking of ways to turn the tide, because Otto still wanted to carry out his plan.

But life isn't just about poetry and distant places; it also includes the mundane realities of the present.

Otto wasn't a fool; after being driven into a corner, he had come to terms with reality.

The probability of him turning things around now is lower than the probability of scattering rice on a keyboard and having a chicken peck at it, which would then produce a short story.

In this situation, it's time to bow your head.

In any case, before Changguang provided a reliable plan, Otto already had a backup plan: to have the powerful Herrscher of Death resurrect Kallen.

Now that Cecilia has been resurrected, and with such a successful example before Otto, he will naturally settle for this option when Otto has no other choice.

"And, to be honest, I do admire Kallen Kaslana."

At that moment, Lin Yu spoke very seriously to Otto.

"Saintess Kallen, as a lackey of Bishop Nicholas, invaded Shenzhou in the past. In my opinion, she was indeed wrong in this matter."

"But after that, she came to her senses in time and began to do everything in her power to save the people around her who she could save."

"Moreover, when you and those idiots like Nicholas released the Herrscher from the Black Box, it was she who stepped forward immediately to seal that Herrscher, preventing the disaster from spreading further."

"In the end, after everything was settled, she chose death rather than collude with the higher-ups of Schicksal."

"Her choice may not have been the best, but in my opinion, Saintess Kallen truly deserves the title of 'the Greatest Valkyrie of the Last 500 Years.'"

As Lin Yu spoke these words, Lin Yu 'Otto smile widened with each compliment he gave Kallen.

Lin Yu's words implied that he truly admired Kallen, and that...

Even if Lin Yu dislikes Otto, Lin Yu might help Otto Kallen Kallen of respect for Kaslana.

If Kallen could really be resurrected, then Otto wouldn't mind dying himself.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that in his original plan, he wouldn't have survived.

At this point, if Lin Yu were to sacrifice his life and all his backup plans as the price to help him revive Kallen, in Otto's eyes, it would practically be considered getting something for nothing.

But...

"However, precisely because I admire Kallen Kaslana much, I will not resurrect her."
