Otto: World Serpent, Give Me My Damn Money Back!! (Continued)
Although he has not been completely defeated, no one in the world has ever overturned his carefully crafted plan to such an extent that he is even somewhat convinced of its superiority.
Centuries later, the young man named Bai Ge before him once again made Otto Apocalypse taste what true defeat meant. He simply couldn't bear to face a boy who was not even 20 years old this year.
"Ha~ Isn't this all your own doing, bringing disaster upon yourself?"
Bai Ge mocked mercilessly.
Today's confrontation was entirely provoked by Otto. He arrogantly devised a series of detailed, precise, cruel, and ruthless plans in an attempt to achieve his Artificial Herrscher project.
The result was that he was defeated head-on by Bai Ge with absolute strength. That's all. Bai Ge had more trump cards and was stronger. He had worked hard to gain the power to protect his loved ones and had achieved this result.
"Haha~ That's right. Everything that happened today was my own fault, but you really surprised me, Bai Ge. I tried my best to overestimate you, but in the end, I still underestimated you."
Otto's gaze fell upon the wind wings that had unfurled behind Bai Ge, the dual-core Herrscher of Wind —no, it should now be called the Azure Wind Herrscher.
The boy's appearance made him marvel at what an amazing Miracle??? it was!
(But speaking of Miracle???... how many times have I been amazed by the Miracle??? he's caused? From the time in Changkong City until now, how many Miracle??? has this person actually caused? Hahaha~ This is really...)
At that moment, Otto looked at Bai Ge with curiosity and surprise. He always believed that Miracle??? was called Miracle??? because it was rare and difficult, and could never happen many times.
However, the White Youth before them seemed to have been born to cause Miracle???!
At this moment, the way he looked at Bai Ge was as if he were looking at a rare and priceless treasure.
"I'm only interested in beautiful girls, so please look away, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control my urge to rip him out. Mr. Otto, if you have that kind of interest, I can only say..."
"Ahem! Your sharp tongue sounds strangely familiar, so please let's skip this topic."
Otto's eye twitched slightly, a little embarrassed. His sexual orientation was perfectly normal, okay? Wait, no, he'd always be Kallen fanboy! Men and women made no difference to him!
"Heh~ Speaking of the situation, we might have to thank you a lot. That old saying is really true: people grow under pressure."
Bai Ge spoke, he took out the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment 920 and gave it to Surtr.
The two swords were crossed and rubbed against each other, sparks flying... They seemed to be contemplating how to kill this bastard in front of them.
Is it to cut in two, or to dismember into eight pieces?
"You flatter me, Bai Ge."
Otto forced himself to ignore Bai Ge's undisguised, eager gaze, which seemed to want to smash him to pieces.
"Actually, I did regret it at first when I gave you the Void Archives, the Gem of Corruption, and the Void Archives."
"But when I saw you transform into the Azure Wind Herrscher today, I understood... Even if I didn't give them to you, you would have gotten them yourself, right?"
Otto was absolutely certain.
"Sparrow food~"
Bai Ge said with a light laugh.
After all, all the Herrscher Core held by Schicksal originally belonged to him. As for the others... well, let's just consider them as interest from these 15 years.
Otto once again looked at his figure in amazement.
He wore Void Archives inlaid with the Herrscher of Wind Core, Herrscher of Flame Core, and Herrscher of Reason Core, and held the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment and Surtr.
Behind Bai Ge, the floating cannons constructed of power still hover, along with wings symbolizing the power of wind, blazing flames, and even some other undisplayed abilities.
For example, the power of quantum mechanics, and the Tai Xu Sword Qi he learned from Fu Hua... Besides these, there may be other abilities that he doesn't yet know about or haven't used yet.
It was so mysterious, powerful, and incredible that even Otto Apocalypse couldn't understand or imagine how Bai Ge managed to gather all these powers into one body.
Is this really something that can be described with just the word "Miracle???"?
"Bai Ge, have you ever considered publishing an autobiography? If you do, I'll definitely be the first to buy it and read it."
"It's too early. Why would I write an autobiography at my age?"
"Haha, that's true. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I would definitely maintain a good relationship with you, or I would kill you when you were still weak."
Otto said decisively that he was helpless against enemies with such pure strength, because no matter what kind of scheme they used, the other side could always defeat them with brute force.
Moreover, Bai Ge is not a reckless dog, but a cunning fox who knows how to hide his true intentions.
"You have no chance anymore, Otto. From now on, you can only be killed by me unilaterally. After all, although consciousness transfer is a shady tactic, I think the number of your Soul Steel bodies is always limited."
Bai Ge was sharpening his knife, ready to pounce on Otto.
He believed he had an abundance of patience regarding the dog-killing scheme.
Disillusioned with life, Xin Zhong wrote the epitaph of the vulture's heir.
Even if he were to kill him a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times, he would never get tired of it. After all, just thinking about the inhuman things this guy has done fills his sword-wielding hand with power!
Otto smiled helplessly, shrugged as if accepting reality, and then hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Before you destroy this body of mine, let me ask you one last question. If, I mean if, Bai Ge, your loved one were to die one day, what would you do?"
He narrowed his eyes and asked Bai Ge with great curiosity.
"Would you choose to accept reality with the memories and continue living in this world without her?"
"Or should we rewrite her death at all costs, and see her again no matter the price?"
Otto stared intently at Bai Ge, as if trying to see through his soul.
"Your question is completely invalid."
Bai Ge crossed his arms and said expressionlessly.
"What?"
Otto was taken aback.
"My beloved will surely live forever and never perish; this is my truth! And I will not allow any threat to shake this truth to exist! Just like you, Otto Apocalypse!"
Bai Ge wielded the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, its scorching and sharp tip pointing at the Fool's heart. However, the latter paid no heed to the sword that seemed poised to kill him at any moment.
Because he resonated with what the boy had just said. Yes, that's right! The immortality and eternal life of one's beloved—wasn't that what Otto was also pursuing?
But the Fool was still not satisfied with this answer.
"That's why I said 'if.' Tell me, Bai Ge, what would you do then?"
Otto continued to press Bai Ge for answers under her displeased gaze.
"What would I do? Heh! If that really happens, even if it means crossing mountains of knives and seas of fire, thousands of miles of rivers and lakes, to the ends of the earth, I will definitely find her!"
Even if it meant traveling through time and reincarnating a thousand or ten thousand times, I would erase her death from every single timeline! What's wrong? Are you satisfied with this answer?
The scorching blade had already pierced Otto's chest. In the face of the God Keys, even a Soul Steel body might be no different from ordinary flesh and blood, but Otto didn't care at all.
Bai Ge's answer, filled with madness, obsession, and absoluteness, echoed in Otto's mind again and again.
That really hit the nail on the head.
Otto couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, hahahaha--! That's right, that's right, I never thought you could be my confidant. You really are as surprising as ever, Bai Ge."
Otto felt that his own soul was resonating with it.
He hadn't expected Bai Ge to be like that too.
She would never accept the death of her loved one, but unlike herself, Bai Ge protected her lover, while she herself five hundred years ago failed to do so.
"Satisfied? Then it's about time you died again, Otto. Rest assured, as long as I determine that you still pose a threat to my girl, I will never let you go! I will kill you until your last body is destroyed, until you are no longer capable of causing any trouble!"
"I sincerely wish you success, Bai Ge, but unfortunately... as the saying goes, good people don't live long, while evil people live for a thousand years. I am the one who should say goodbye, and you are the one who has to die!"
"What?!"
Bai Ge frowned, sensing something was wrong. He instinctively became fully alert and began to guard against Otto.
Otto remained calm because he had an extra trump card in his hand. No matter how strong the opponent was, as long as it hit, he could definitely kill them in one blow.
(Miss Raven? Miss Raven! It's your turn to shine. Quickly fire a shot at the enemy in front of me. These are my current coordinates. Hmm? Miss Raven?)
Otto kept calling out to the Island Exploding Raven in the communication, but he didn't get a response for a long time.
Left with no other choice, he had to change his mind and say it again.
(Miss Raven! It's time for you to get to work! I'll add an extra zero to your paycheck after you've done it!!)
"Huh? What? Two zeros?! Okay, okay, no problem, I'll get to work right away! I wasn't asleep, I just closed my eyes to rest for a little while!"
Raven wiped the mouth from the corner of its lips and then suppressed the yawn that was halfway through.
Otto was speechless. As a professional mercenary, he actually fell asleep during a mission. Thumbs down!
"Hey~ I've been busy with the villa island these past few days, not sleeping until midnight every night. You guys said this was a slack-off task, so I'll just take a short nap."
Raven quickly set up the Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins, which had transformed into Sniper Rifle.
She had just dreamt that her villa island sank, and just thinking about it made Raven's legs tremble.
She slapped her thigh hard, shouting "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" to solidify her resolve.
"Get to work, let me see the target... huh?!"
Raven spotted the boy through the scope.
The excitement I felt just moments ago vanished instantly.
Natasha rubbed her eyes blankly, then looked at the scope again. Snow-white hair, pale golden eyes, and although she didn't know why he looked much younger, she would never mistake that figure.
