Otto's Dirty Trick
What kind of elementary school student complains to the teacher?
"Alright, what terrible ideas are you two coming up with? You might as well just tell Kallen that if you save her now, she has to leave that timeline, or the world will be destroyed." Chen Luo looked at the two rivals arguing and gave them a disdainful look.
"Given Kallen's genuinely passionate and somewhat foolish personality—fighting for the people with all her heart—she would definitely come obediently if something like this happened. She'd even be unhappy if you didn't let her come. Do you believe that?"
Kallen is a true saint, genuinely wanting to resist the Honkai and protect the people.
If I knew that staying here might lead to the destruction of the world, I would leave immediately.
As for whether it will destroy the world?
This kind of thing is probably like what Estelle did when she traveled back 10 years.
A changed history does not affect the future; rather, it directly develops into an alternate timeline.
Or perhaps she will encounter all sorts of hardships in the process of saving her, ultimately leading to Kallen's death. This is the convergence of timelines.
But in any case, it would be more appropriate to have Kallen travel directly to 500 years in the future.
"..."
"..."
"Makes sense" ×2
"But the problem is how to convince Kallen that if she stays in the original world and changes history, it will really destroy the world?"
"Does this kind of thing even need to be convinced? Just show him the history he's going to experience, and then have me, the amazing store manager, explain it to him, right? Anyway, no one has ever seen it before."
"Or we could just have our dear Herrscher of Knowledge appear and give us her own testimony." Chen Luo said as he pulled the Herrscher of Knowledge out of his sea of consciousness.
"She is the Herrscher of Knowledge from the future. Given how the world has developed, she shouldn't be born anymore. From a purely rational perspective, her original world has indeed been destroyed," Chen Luo said, pointing to the Herrscher of Knowledge.
But that's not actually the case. The Herrscher of Knowledge severed his connection with his own world because of the peculiarity of the spacetime rift.
Otherwise, another situation might occur: after Chen Luo establishes contact with the Honkai World, some of the other party's memories or cognitions might be rewritten to reflect their understanding of Chen Luo.
The world is indeed this world, but due to various coincidences, the future of this world will indeed not produce any more Herrscher of Knowledge.
No, it should be said that the Herrscher of Knowledge will not be generated, but the Herrscher of Knowledge will eventually appear.
"What does this have to do with me?" The Herrscher of Knowledge was pulled out, looked completely bewildered.
"In short, let's save them first, and use this as the reason." Chen Luo said as he picked up the invitation.
As Chen Luo acted, Yae Sakura and Otto's attention naturally focused on him.
Chen Luo opened the invitation and laid it flat on the table.
Only then did Otto and Yae Sakura see the contents of the invitation.
The contents of this invitation are ordinary and unremarkable, but this seemingly ordinary thing is worth a five-star mission.
The invitation, once opened, features portraits of many people.
The portraits are arranged in individual squares, as if they are open to Chen Luo's selection.
Unseen by Yae Sakura and Otto, dozens of figures appeared on Chen Luo's talent panel the instant he opened the invitation.
"Do you have so many of the strongest Valkyrie in your Schicksal?" Chen Luo asked Otto beside him, looking at the figures.
"Normally, shouldn't there be a strongest Valkyrie in each generation of Valkyrie? So isn't it normal for twenty or thirty strongest Valkyrie to appear in over 500 years?"
"Like Leanna?" Chen Luo asked, pointing to the third-to-last position on the Schicksal's Strongest Valkyrie Chart.
"Hmm. I'm sorry for her death." Otto shrugged.
Of course, Otto knew that Chen Luo was just mentioning this casually, since Chen Luo didn't know anyone named Leanna.
Perhaps they knew the other party's identity under certain circumstances, but that's not important.
"By the way, her death served as a reminder to me: never let your spare body develop its own independent consciousness and its own life. Treat them like puppets, just as expendable tools. Chen Luo, you're a puppeteer, right? I suggest you learn from this lesson when you control your puppets in the future," Otto said sincerely.
Leanna Brigantia, the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal.
Although the title "Schicksal Strongest Valkyrie" sounds like a common one, it still represents the strength of the person in question.
This Leanna had a very good relationship with Anti-Entropy, or rather, it was because of her that Anti-Entropy was not wiped out by Otto at that time.
The reason Otto said that was mainly because the other side, as a true war machine, had lived for 100 years.
Over the course of 100 years, Otto used the Void Archive to modify her approximately 1000 times, replacing almost all the parts of her body with Soul Steel.
The ultimate goal of this experiment was to give Otto the body of the strongest Valkyrie.
Does Otto really not care about his gender?
So in a sense, Otto's suggestion can be considered a piece of advice based on experience, except...
Yae Sakura, sitting opposite Otto, instantly darkened her face.
"Otto, you're finished." After receiving Otto's advice, Chen Luo looked at Otto with pity.
"Hmm, what do you mean? Have I offended you in any way?" Otto asked, frowning.
Although Otto doesn't mind offending anyone, the problem is that Chen Luo needs to revive Kallen now.
"No, no, no, you haven't offended me at all. You've only offended a lot of my puppets." Chen Luo shook his head.
As he shook his head, Chen Luo also glanced at the video posted by Yae Sakura that was pinned to the top of the Collective Network.
A Collective Network is similar to the Internet or a video website.
In short, it does have a pinning function.
The dolls always like to search for things in the Collective Network, so almost every doll can notice things that can be pinned.
Of course, not just anyone can pin videos or files; you must have administrator privileges. Although the only function of administrator privileges is to pin something important, it is still quite important in some respects.
For example, it was used to suppress Otto.
Otto probably didn't realize that he might have inadvertently offended the entire Puppet Collection Vault.
Although there aren't many dolls in the Puppet Collection Vault right now, it's possible that they'll fill the entire Earth in the future.
And there's one now, and who knows how many more S-rank Talent User there will be in the future.
As Chen Luo's first doll and currently the strongest one, Yae Sakura naturally has the administrator privileges to pin files or videos.
Never allow your spare body to develop its own independent consciousness and life; treat it like a puppet, a consumable tool.
You really dare to say that!
Otto was somewhat confused by what Chen Luo said, and also unclear about Yae Sakura's sudden change in attitude.
After all, Otto knew very little about Chen Luo's abilities, and he didn't know that Yae Sakura was Chen Luo's puppet.
Otto had assumed that Chen Luo and Yae Sakura's relationship was more like his own with Durandal.
One boss, one employee.
And it's only natural that people would hold a grudge if you spoke ill of someone in front of them, right?
"Why are you two looking at me with such strange eyes? Did I say anything wrong?" Otto felt a little uneasy under the gazes of Chen Luo and Yae Sakura.
"No, it's nothing. It's just that there seem to be more people on this invitation than I expected."
"There are indeed many. Since the record of the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal started with Kallen, I should theoretically know the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal from each generation. But there are quite a few that I don't know."
There were even two Cecilia on the invitation.
"Hmm, who knows? Maybe the Valkyrie Schicksal refers to more than just the Schicksal of this world." Chen Luo was also a little puzzled by this.
If it's not Honkai Impact 3, then how could it be Honkai Impact 2?
But it doesn't matter.
What could be more important than 4,500 Primogem and two Advanced Random Reward?
The answer is no!
"In short, get ready to welcome your Kallen." After Chen Luo selected Kallen's image on the talent panel, Kallen's image on the paper invitation instantly enlarged, covering the entire invitation.
"Go ahead." Chen Luo folded the invitation and threw it towards the Bar Door.
Next, all you need to do is let the invitation touch the Bar Door, and Kallen will be invited inside.
"Jingle!"
The wind chimes rang.
Durandal opened the door, she saw something that looked like an invitation smeared on her face.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Why are you all staring at me like that?" Durandal was startled when she saw three people staring at her as soon as she entered the bar.
"Where is Kallen? The strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal from 500 years ago?" Durandal came for this reason.
This morning, Durandal went to report her mission to Otto. Just as she was about to give Otto her usual heart-to-heart talk, Otto immediately crouched down in defense, revealing that she had now returned to her human form.
Furthermore, it was Durandal who originally helped Chen Luo inform Otto about Kallen, so Durandal naturally knew about the plan to revive Kallen today.
Driven by curiosity Durandal went to the bar after completing her assigned task.
"In your hand." Chen Luo pointed to the Bar Invitation that Durandal was holding in her left hand, which had just been smeared all over Durandal's face.
"Hmm?" Durandal tilted her head.
Chapter 523 Otto's Shady Tactics
"So hurry up and stick that invitation you have on the Bar Door." After spending half a minute explaining the situation to Durandal, Chen Luo said.
Chen Luo originally thought it was too much trouble to walk to the door, so he just threw the invitation over, but who knew that Durandal would suddenly open the Bar Door.
Chen Luo's Destiny Ability was indeed taking effect. Chen Luo even knew that Otto would say something like "Don't treat dolls like people," but since Otto was asking for trouble, Chen Luo didn't stop him.
But Chen Luo really didn't expect Durandal to suddenly appear.
Because a bar is an independent space where fate cannot be connected to the outside world, it is impossible for anything to be predicted.
"Oh." Durandal nodded, then turned and pasted the invitation on the already closed Bar Door.
The invitation flashed with a faint light upon touching the Bar Door and then disappeared into the doorway.
At the same time, Chen Luo also received a reminder.
"Choose the time... I'll choose the last one." Chen Luo glanced down at his two arch-rivals Otto and Yae Sakura, sitting on the table, and finally made his choice.
Chen Luo only had the last opportunity to choose.
Because on the progress bar of "Kallen's Life" displayed on that talent panel interface, apart from the last little bit of green that represents safety, all the progress bars before it were red.
In a sense, it wasn't that Chen Luo wanted to choose the last time Kallen existed, but rather that he could only choose this period.
Because if you choose a point in time during the first half of Kallen's life, it's easier to have a greater impact on the later years.
If Kallen had not met Otto in the first place, their marriage would have been a simple political alliance.
If... well, there are no ifs then.
Without Otto, Kallen might have been killed by the Immortal Crimson Kite with a single finger during the Eastern Expedition.
The further back in history the changes occur, the more likely they are to interfere with the world that follows.
Even if Otto hadn't been killed by Fu Hua, history would have been rewritten if Otto hadn't ruled Schicksal for 500 years to revive Kallen.
Therefore, in Kallen's life storyline, 99% of her life is marked in red.
"Changing history is truly a dangerous thing," Chen Luo sighed as he clicked "confirm."
After clicking "OK", the originally unremarkable Bar Door, which resembled a wooden door, instantly transformed into a curtain of light.
Seeing this magical sight, Otto and Kallen both stared expectantly at the Bar Door.
Silence, deathly silence.
While almost everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound, the dazzling door remained completely still.
