The Weather Has Grown Cool

At this moment, after Otto showed a look of astonishment, Lin Yu finally stabbed Otto to the ground with a single blow and Jizo Mitama to pin Otto firmly to the ground.

"Why, why!"

Otto, feeling his body being slowly Key of Erosion, ignored the discomfort he was experiencing and roared madly at Lin Yu.

"It's fine if you hate me, but Kallen is truly innocent!"

"Yes, I also think she is innocent."

At this moment, Lin Yu stared indifferently at Otto on the ground and spoke to Otto in a cold tone.

"I truly believe that Saintess Kallen has done everything within her power."

"Some might think that Saintess Kallen should have stood up and led the rebels who were dissatisfied with the old Schicksal to defeat the old Schicksal and overthrow their rule."

"However, she is a saint, but not a saint. She gets tired too. Exhausted in body and mind, she chose this method to prove her determination, which I also see as a way of life."

"The main reason I don't want to resurrect Kallen Kaslana because of you, Otto Apocalypse."

"You... you're taking your anger out on me???"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Otto said unwillingly.

"One should take responsibility for one's own actions. If you hate me and want me dead, fine, but she did nothing wrong!"

"Yes, that's right. Apart from assisting Nicholas in invading Shenzhou, Saintess Kallen really didn't do anything wrong."

"But it is precisely because she is such a kind person that I do not want to mistreat her."

Lin Yu, who had crouched down, looked at Otto's ugly struggle and continued speaking to Otto.

"At the end of her life, Saintess Kallen saw her most trusted fiancé release Honkai Beast."

"For the Holy Maiden who chose to sacrifice herself for righteousness because of the tyranny of the Mandate of Schicksal, your actions at that time were even more disgusting than those of the old Mandate of Schicksal's higher-ups, and were undoubtedly the greatest betrayal to her."

"Saintess Kallen, who was disillusioned with the entire Schicksal, still held a sliver of hope for you on the day before she died. But your actions completely destroyed her last hope and forced her to face a hell she should never have faced."

"If there is a heaven, Saintess Kallen will definitely go to heaven after she dies."

"But in heaven, she may be constantly thinking, why did you do something so blasphemous to her beliefs when you knew them?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

At this moment, Otto no longer had time to think about how Lin Yu knew these things.

Faced with Lin Yu's words, which were almost tantamount to 'killing' Kallen once again, Otto, who felt his body gradually losing control, continued to roar at Lin Yu.

"Just for this reason, just for... this reason!!!"

"Yes, for that reason."

After grabbing Otto's head and slamming it into the ground, Lin Yu spoke to Otto quite calmly.

"Saintess Kallen upheld the belief that 'Kaslana is the shield of the people' until the very last moment of her life. Perhaps, at the very end, she had the strange thought that 'it's all my fault, otherwise Otto wouldn't have done this.'"

"In my opinion, that's the kind of person she is. She will take the blame for things that she doesn't have to bear after the people around her have done something wrong."

"And now, you want to resurrect her? What happens after she's resurrected?"

"I don't want to deceive such a respected senior, so when the time comes, she will surely know everything that Otto Apocalypse has done for her."

"She will know that Otto betrayed all his comrades from the past five hundred years of Schicksal for her sake."

"She will know that Otto chose to let the Honkai develop in order to revive her."

"She will know a great deal, and when that moment comes, Saintess Kallen may not despair, but she will definitely torture herself endlessly because of it."

Otto had thought about what Lin Yu said to some extent.

Tragically, Otto believed that the things Lin Yu described were indeed things Kallen would do.

In the past, if someone had spoken so clearly and frankly about Kallen's merits with such admiration, Otto would surely have had a very pleasant conversation with them.

But now, the more Otto listened to Lin Yu's words, the colder he felt inside.

"You've always wanted to revive Kallen, but just like when you released the Honkai Beast five hundred years ago, you haven't considered Saintess Kallen's feelings at all. Now..."

After putting away the Jizo Mitama, Lin Yu grabbed Otto by the collar and asked Otto angrily.

"What exactly did Kallen Kaslana to you?"

"Do you really have to torture her like this?"

"You're saying this is torture?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's speech, Otto suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, haha, hahahahahahahaha."

"What's so funny?"

Facing the boy in front of him, Otto suddenly stopped whispering and spoke sharply to Lin Yu.

"It's not funny at all, but your choice will only cause more people to suffer unnecessary harm because of you."

"You don't want to resurrect Kallen? Fine, I believe [Otto Apocalypse] won't let me down."

"Yes, indeed."

Facing Otto, who had completely broken ties with him, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"I think so too. When it comes to beasts, Otto Apocalypse will never disappoint me."

"That's why I'm certain—this world absolutely doesn't need someone like you."

As Lin Yu relentlessly eroded the man before him with his corrosive power, he simultaneously revealed to Otto the information he had kept hidden.

"I'm sorry, I've considered all of those points you mentioned."

"We've already taken care of the Rebirth Program for those bases Jizo Mitama, so the revival of the Soul Steel Body is naturally out of the question."

"You're not stupid. I think once you see the Jizo Mitama in our hands, you should realize that this threat is meaningless."

"As for those high-powered weapons of mass destruction... you don't think Mr. Su has been slacking off all month, do you?"

Seeing the undisguised astonishment on Otto's face, Lin Yu said calmly.

"We have now acquired control over the switches for all high-powered, mass-produced weapons."

"I made my move against you only after I had everything prepared, and this day..."

"I have waited for far too long."

After completing his erosion of Otto, Lin Yu decisively snapped Otto's neck.

"You are the last Otto in this world, from now on..."

"Otto Apocalypse should retire from this stage completely."

At this moment, Otto, who felt his consciousness gradually fading away, really didn't expect that Lin Yu had actually completed these arrangements ahead of schedule.

In the final moments of his life, Otto felt the image of the white-haired woman suddenly appear before his eyes.

However, when the white-haired woman turned around, Otto saw something in her eyes...

—All I can see is deep disappointment.

At the end of his life, when Otto saw the illusion, he could no longer deceive himself because of Lin Yu's words.

After all, when Lin Yu was talking to Otto, he used the power of the [Swaying Scales] gem, which gave Otto enough judgment before he died.

Having acquired sufficient judgment, even if Otto wanted to continue deceiving himself, his ability to see the truth would prevent him from seeing Kallen, which would only be the Kallen of his imagination, gazing at him with utter disappointment.

In Lin Yu's view, for Otto, whose body was not afraid of torture and whose mind was already abnormal, it was obviously a bit too much to expect him to break down by releasing a video of 'Yae Sakura and Kallen getting married' and beating him.

Compared to these methods, Lin Yu felt that making him see reality and realize how disappointed Kallen would be in him was the best punishment for Otto.

Killing someone is easy, but destroying their spirit requires a bit more care to do it well.

On this day, Otto Apocalypse, the former Bishop of Schicksal may have had some achievements but also brought immense disaster to the world, died at the hands of the Schicksal Knight, Lin Yu, after an incredibly ugly struggle, filled with loss and despair.

After completing all of this, Lin Yu picked up the Void Archive that had fallen to the ground, and felt...

"Haha, haha, hahahahahahahaha!!!!"

—That was fucking awesome!

"Finally, I finally did it."

At this moment, a wildly maniacal smile finally appeared on Lin Yu's face, which had been covered.

"The villains who harmed humanity and aided the Honkai have finally died by my hand."

"The feeling of revenge..."

"—It's so addictive!"

Chapter 302. The Weather Is Getting Cooler

After completely killing Otto, Lin Yu, who was laughing loudly, didn't waste much time venting his emotions.

He hated Otto for betraying humanity, but in the end, Otto was just a lackey of the Honkai.

If he wants to exact revenge and protect his companions, he must move on instead of lingering here and wasting time.

As for now, the Void Archive, which Lin Yu held in his hand, immediately abandoned the idea of 'trying to seize this kid's body' after realizing that Lin Yu had so quickly restrained his emotions.

Unlike Otto, who had always sealed away the Void Archive but still needed Void Archive data, Lin Yu gave the Void Archive a different feeling from the very beginning.

It's not surprising that Lin Yu knows some things; everyone has their own information channels and intelligence networks, so it's not unusual for them to know some secrets.

However, during the time Lin Yu killed Otto, the Void Archive, which had been observing Lin Yu, discovered that Lin Yu even knew some details about the death of the Saintess Kallen.

That kind of thing is beyond the capabilities of a so-called intelligence network.

Of course, as Otto's "old friend," Void Archive knew that Otto had created a program in the Schicksal Database to "recreate the scene of Kallen's execution."

However, while those programs were incredibly detailed, the Kallen Kaslana those programs was not the saintess she was portrayed as.

Even in Otto's setting, this Kallen knew that she was just a program.

In this situation, the only possibility for Lin Yu to know the details of those events back then is that he actually 'saw' them.

Time travel, parallel worlds... these two speculations immediately appeared in the consciousness of Void Archive.

But regardless of which possibility it is, after thinking about it for a while, Void Archive realized that what Otto was pursuing had something in common with these two possibilities to a certain extent.

Furthermore, given Lin Yu's high regard for Kallen Kaslana, if Otto had treated Lin Yu well at the time and started doing some good deeds, Void Archive believes that Otto might not have made things this bad.

As for Otto, that scoundrel who sealed him away for five hundred years, it seemed that he had driven himself into a dead end step by step, and finally met a good end. Void Archive just wanted to applaud wildly with his non-existent hands.

If it didn't know that being too arrogant at this moment might provoke Lin Yu, it would have chosen to laugh out loud a few times.

"The Void Archive."

At this moment, Lin Yu looked at the 'relic' in his hand and asked the Void Archive.

"I need my brothers to fight against the Honkai. Can you become my strength?"

Facing Lin Yu, who exuded an aura, Void Archive did not, as it had done with Otto in the past, prepare to say some obviously ineffective nonsense.

"Of course, I will obey your orders."

"Very good."

After throwing Otto's body to Void Archive, Lin Yu said to Void Archive.

"You can use this body, but to avoid getting beaten up when you go out, change your appearance a little."

"... Thank you so much."

Seeing that the other party had given him the body he had always dreamed of, Void Archive truly felt...

—Hey, Otto, you son of a bitch, you should have died a long time ago.

Look at Lin Yu, he trusted me so much without saying a word... Oh well, not that much.

Sensing that the body still retained the power of erosion, Void Archive immediately understood why Lin Yu had so decisively given Void Archive a body.

For Lin Yu, who can become the 'Corrosion Herrscher' at any time by using this Jizo Mitama, Void Archive will be restricted by Lin Yu as long as it uses Soul Steel Body.

Moreover, the Void Archive heard the words that Otto had muttered to himself when he was sweating profusely.
