Otto: I Shall Pledge My Loyalty to You!
Suddenly, Otto regretted spying on Bai Ge's battle earlier; he thought he had done it very discreetly and had not been discovered.
"If that's the case, then I'm very sorry. However, I have already taken care of the 1001st Herrscher of the Thousand for you. It's just that her core will take some time before it can be handed over to you, because the retrieval work is quite complicated."
Otto said very sincerely that this was not a lie.
The core of the Herrscher of the Thousand is very special. After the original body is defeated, it will automatically hide in the Imaginary Space, and then look for a new object to possess, a new opportunity to take advantage of, and a new Herrscher of the Thousand will be born.
If Bai Ge hadn't been in the Theater of Dominion at that time, using the power of the Herrscher of the Void to seal off the space and absorb the core, then a new Herrscher of the Thousand would probably have been born by now.
As is well known, the core of the Herrscher of the Thousand is most interested in people who are filled with despair, sadness and negative emotions. This is the core's first criterion for selecting hosts, rather than whether they have Honkai Energy adaptability.
Otto's recovery plan involves using the Chariot of Sanctus Journey to project the consciousness of his past self from 500 years ago, when he had just lost Kallen and was filled with despair, into the modern world.
In this way, he can not only locate the coordinates of the past that he wants to change for himself, but also use that projection of inner despair to attract the core of the Herrscher of the Thousand.
However...
"There's no need for all that trouble, it's already here."
"What?"
Under Otto's astonished gaze, he didn't know what Bai Ge had done, but a golden gem appeared in mid-air and landed directly in Bai's hand.
This is the final core piece of the Herrscher of the Thousand.
(Although it's not a pleasant thing to say, when it comes to negative emotions, who can beat me?)
Bai Ge played with the core and thought to himself that he had carried the sorrow and tragedy of an entire era, as well as the pain of being unable to save his loved ones eleven times.
No one in this world is more in line with the preferences of the core of the Herrscher of the Thousand than him, not even Otto Apocalypse five hundred years ago who lost Kallen.
"..."
Otto took a deep breath. He realized that he couldn't see through Bai Ge at all. Behind that white mask seemed to lie the biggest secret in the world.
To be honest, Otto's curiosity had been piqued, but he dared not explore the secret at all.
"Then may I ask what purpose Your Excellency has in seeking me out? I have a few guesses, but I think none of them are likely. Could it be that you've come here just to find someone to play video games with?"
Otto jokingly pointed to the Kallen Fantasy IV game projection in mid-air and said.
"I don't want to play games with someone who gets banned just because they can't beat others. I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Imaginary Tree, that's why I came here to find you."
Bai Ge crossed his arms and uttered a word that Otto Apocalypse was currently trying to conceal.
"!!!"
Otto stared in astonishment, even horror, as Bai Ge uttered the term "Imaginary Tree." He realized that his plan might have been discovered by the person before him.
But he didn't understand how Bai Ge knew, since he had never told anyone about it, and even Otto was so cautious that he hadn't told Void Archives about his plan to climb the tree.
"Hey~ Otto, I've already said it, the savior I'm waiting for is all-knowing and all-powerful."
The voice of Void Archives came. As a member of the Previous Civilization, it was also aware of Bai Ge's achievements and knew his command ability, which could be described as predicting the future.
At this moment, it couldn't help but think that its savior was as terrifying as ever, so easily uncovering the secret hidden in Otto's heart.
"Tell me your plan, Otto Apocalypse. I will be the one to ascend the Imaginary Tree."
"Is it to save the world again...?"
Otto controlled himself and didn't show any murderous intent. He kept reminding himself that he was no match for Bai Ge and that he couldn't act impulsively. He could only deal with Bai Ge by "persuading" him.
Saving the world was Otto's idea, and the only reason Bai Ge could think of the Imaginary Tree.
Because once you reach that place that breeds rules and infinite possibilities, even if only for a very short time, you will gain the power to manipulate the world at will, and the world will be reshaped into whatever you desire, for example...
We can create a world where Honkai doesn't exist!
After all, the so-called Honkai, the so-called Herrscher, and the so-called Cocoon of the End are all equally insignificant in front of the Imaginary Tree!
However...
"Creating a world where Honkai doesn't exist? Hmm, that's just one of the goals, a side goal, I suppose."
Bai Ge nodded slightly, but then shook her head. Originally, she didn't have this purpose, but now she did.
Because he wants to take away Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Sirin, and others from this world.
Without the main characters saving the world, who knows if this parallel world's Current Civilization will ultimately be defeated by the Honkai and reset to start the next civilization?
He will rush up the Imaginary Tree to try to erase the Honkai of this parallel world; this is one of the two insurance policies designed by Bai Ge.
However, saving the world was just a side effect.
"Otto, what I really want to do is the same as you: go back in time and save my loved ones."
"What?!"
Otto was utterly astonished; he never expected Bai Ge to give such an answer. But Void Archives instantly understood who Bai Ge was referring to.
"Is it for Lady Elysia?"
"That's right."
This 467 is the final solution that Bai Ge found after ten reincarnations.
Since there was no possibility of saving Elysia in the past, he could only seek the answer in the future, 50,000 years from now.
The Imaginary Tree is the only answer.
(Ah, what a long time it has been.) He couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Ge made no attempt to hide or conceal anything, because there was no need to.
After all, whether Otto agreed or not, he could not stop Otto's actions. In this era, in this world, no one could stop him from going to the Imaginary Tree.
Moreover, Bai Ge also wanted to tell the story he had kept hidden in his heart, but ordinary people were not qualified to listen, while Otto Apocalypse, although a bastard, certainly had the right to.
Through the power of the Herrscher of Reason, he transmitted some of his memories to the fool before him, leaving Otto dumbfounded.
That was a far better story than his original one.
That was a much longer period of time than what he had experienced.
That was a love that made him so envious and jealous that he felt helpless.
That was a regrettable ending that moved him deeply.
"Ha, hahaha, this really surprises me. Is there really such a thing? I never expected it. I never thought I would meet someone who understands me one day."
Otto held his forehead with one hand and laughed out loud in a daze. A savior who had traversed 50,000 years for the sake of his beloved—that was even longer than his own 500 years.
At this moment, he even felt a sense of understanding and closeness to Bai Ge, but above that was still envy and jealousy!
Because he has a one-sided love for Kallen!
His Saintess ignored him completely in the end and got together with a pink-haired Fox Spirit from the Far East!
But what about the savior before him? He and the pink-haired woman from his memories were deeply in love, a sweet and blissful romance that Otto never dared to dream of!
Even the things these two do are exactly the same!
The pink-clad girl in Bai Ge's memory sacrificed herself to free the Herrscher from the control of the Honkai, creating possibilities for the future, but that was only to protect her beloved.
The savior now wants to ascend the Imaginary Tree with the aim of using the power he gains to go back in time and save the past, while also saving the world in the process.
Otto couldn't help but sigh.
What a perfect match they are! In saving each other, they also manage to save the world.
But!
Otto: "What a moving story, but I also have people I want to save! Savior of the Previous Civilization, since you are like me, you should know very well that I would never obediently give you this opportunity that I have waited five hundred years for!"
Bai Ge: "Oh? So how do you plan to struggle?"
Otto: "... Let me think about it."
First update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.

Chapter 378, Otto: I will offer you my loyalty! (Please customize)
"So, how do you plan to struggle?"
"..."
This question left Otto speechless.
Because he truly had no way to struggle, his cunning and trickery became utterly useless in the face of an absolute powerhouse.
As for letting him take up weapons and fight Bai Ge head-on.
In a story, the protagonist would Miracle??? unleash an unreasonablely powerful force at a crucial moment, due to factors such as faith and courage, and defeat all enemies.
But this is reality, not a fairy tale.
Moreover, Otto Apocalypse is not the protagonist of the story, but merely a despicable and wicked clown, and such a person would not be favored by Miracle???.
"Do you understand, Otto? You can't do anything."
"!!!"
Hearing Bai Ge speak the cold reality, Otto's Soul Steel body trembled, his expression turned extremely ugly, and his clenched fists silently expressed his unwillingness.
As a villain who always schemes against everyone and uses conspiracies to make people feel powerless and desperate, he is now experiencing that feeling as well.
