The Kaslana Resolve; A Violet Iris Blooming in the Far East.

Otto was so excited that he spoke without thinking.

It was Otto's words that touched a nerve with Kallen.

"Smack!"

Kallen waved, Otto turned his head to the side.

The sharp crack of the slap was particularly jarring in the quiet prison cell.

"Concern really does lead to confusion."

Kevin sighed.

If it were the usually calm Otto, he would never have said such a thing. But at this moment, because of Kallen's words, "I am willing to give my life," Otto could no longer suppress his emotions. As we all know, when people are excited, they don't think about the consequences.

As expected, Otto received a slap.

"Sigh, only one slap. Learn from me, the sound of Otto's cheeks squeaking under my fist is just so wonderful~"

Little Knowledge Shi's tone was one of regret.

Pardo shivered.

At this moment, Otto's body wasn't made of Honkai Steel. If Little Knowledge were to hit him like that, it probably wouldn't just make a creaking sound, but would burst into a spray. As for what would be sprayed, Pardo didn't dare to think about it.

"This isn't persuasion; it's clearly stirring up trouble."

Mobius sneered.

Fortunately, the audience knew about Otto's love for Kallen; otherwise, they might have thought that Otto felt Kallen hadn't died fast enough, so he rushed over to stir things up.

[You're the strongest warrior of the Kaslana family, a veteran of countless battles. Don't embarrass yourself; keep your spirits up!]

"Sigh, now I know why Otto failed to win Kallen's heart. Yaqing, is the real Otto like that too?"

Kevin was a little curious.

Yaqing thought for a long time.

"The real-life President Otto is more like the Otto from 500 years in the story."

Yaqing explained everything in one sentence.

Five hundred years later, Archbishop Otto, who holds absolute power, has no one who can escape his schemes. Kallen's naive and innocent personality is bound to be thoroughly manipulated.

Kevin's idea is wonderful.

Reality, however, is much harsher.

Although Otto is more like Otto from 500 years in the future, it's not Kallen's being manipulated.

This strange sight is so unbelievable that no one would believe it if it were told.

Yaqing was also completely baffled.

Just like last time, I made her angry again...

After being slapped, Otto calmed down considerably, and his thoughts drifted back to ten years ago, when Otto, as a child, visited the sanctuary of Apocalypse.

There is a sacred object enshrined there, said to be Sharira of infinite wisdom obtained by the first ancestor in Asia, and only those with the highest wisdom can unlock its seal.

Otto believed that he could revive Kallen's father by breaking the seal on the relic. When his fingertips touched the relic, it was broken in an instant.

Otto stated his request, and the Sharira gave the answer: an equal exchange, one life for another. Without hesitation, Otto prepared to exchange his own life for Kallen's father's.

The Sharira entered his body.

The scene shifts to Francis's funeral.

Otto used the Void Archives to summon a mimicked Abyss Flower, telling Kallen that if she could exchange her own life for Francis's life, he could bring Francis back to life, as he didn't want to see Kallen sad anymore.

"Smack!"

Little Otto also got slapped.

With tears in her eyes, Kallen angrily shouted at her father, "He protected you, not by making you do this kind of thing!"

"Sorry..."

The two children finally couldn't contain their emotions any longer and hugged each other, bursting into tears. Seeing that there was no chance, Void Archives gradually disappeared, preparing to look for another opportunity next time.

"Otto, I don't want to see anyone else die."

"Help me, Otto, I must become stronger, strong enough to protect everyone."

"Hiss, Otto deserved those two slaps. Kaslana was the shield of the people, Francis died gloriously to protect them, and Otto, who was protected, wanted to use his own life to bring Francis back to life..."

Kevin didn't know how to express his current emotions.

"Even if Francis is really resurrected, he probably won't feel good knowing that his resurrection came at the cost of someone else's life."

Kevin felt that without five hundred years of experience, Otto seemed a bit naive, but this was normal. After all, even the most extraordinary person in their twenties wouldn't be so worldly-wise.

"Otto... he must have forgotten Kallen's last words."

Pardo's expression was complicated.

"No, he just didn't expect that everyone Kallen mentioned was real. She really wanted to protect everyone, including the children."

Fu Hua shook her head.

In Kallen's eyes, it was Otto was stubbornly clinging to his beliefs.

We're now stuck in a vicious cycle.

Otto's idea was that to protect Kallen, they had to defeat the Honkai; to defeat the Honkai, they had to unlock the Black Box; and to unlock the Black Box, they had to conduct human experiments.

Kallen's idea was that if you want to protect everyone, you can't do human experiments.

The two people's ideas were never compatible.

"Otto, I don't know what you're really thinking?"

Kallen patted her belly, which was full from snacks.

Otto smiled.

He realized that his relationship with Kallen in the story was inherently tragic, so mutual understanding and explanation might never have existed from the beginning; misunderstanding was the root of the tragedy.

[Yaqing, you just wait.]

Otto said silently to himself.

Far away in the Far East, Yaqing had goosebumps all over her body, as if she had an ominous premonition, or as if she was being watched by someone.

"Don't you dare insult my father!"

Looking into Kallen's tearful eyes, Otto didn't say anything more, only telling Kallen that he would find a way to let Sasha and her go, but the experiment had to continue.

Otto acted swiftly, perhaps because of Kallen.

As the cell door opened, Sasha cried and rushed into Kallen's arms. Kallen then led her out of the prison. Watching Sasha and her daughter reunite and embrace tightly, Kallen didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and soon a light rain began to fall.

Everyone around was taking shelter from the rain, but Kallen was the only one walking in the rain.

She came to the cemetery, stood before Francis's tombstone for a long time, and offered a bouquet of Abyss Flower.

"What follows can only be done by me alone."

Kallen's thoughts drifted back to when she fell and cried as a child. Francis gently reached out and helped little Kallen up.

"The Kaslana family must always look ahead, because we are on the front lines!"

The camera then focuses again on Kallen in the cemetery, her eyes resolute, her expression determined as she leaves.

"Because Kaslana is the people's shield!"

"It's on fire!"

This oppressive feeling of impending doom immediately made the audience realize that the final battle was about to begin.

447

Chapter 447 Kaslana's Belief, the Iris Flower Growing in the Far East.

"That's right, absolutely right!"

Kevin was extremely excited.

Kaslana is the shield of the people. This sentence really struck a chord with him, giving him goosebumps and making him unable to suppress his anger.

"This episode is called Awakening..."

Fu Hua spoke in a deep voice.

She thought it would be Otto's realization, but she didn't expect it to be Kallen's. In that case, the misunderstanding between Kallen and Otto was unavoidable.

However, given Otto's personality and his love for Kallen, will the misunderstanding really escalate?

Fu Hua didn't know.

The scene shifts to a brightly lit church. Before the sacred cross, Eleanor slowly reveals a dark purple gem from a black Black Box, holding the Abyss.

The bishop was extremely excited when he saw the gem, believing that he would soon be able to unlock the secrets of the Black Box.

However, with the crisp sound of shattering glass, and a loud bang, the Judah's Oath broke through the window and slammed onto the church floor. Kallen leaped from outside and landed on Judah.

"You won't succeed!"

The accompanying staff quickly escorted the bishop away, while Eleanor glared at Kallen with gritted teeth.

"Don't interfere with Lord Otto's experiment!!!"

Eleanor charged forward, wielding the Abyss.

Kallen closed her eyes, her mind replaying Fu Hua's words.

User of the key, think carefully... what is it that you are meant to protect?

When Kallen opened her eyes again, her face was resolute. She manipulated Judah's chains to knock away the Abyss from Eleanor's hands, and then locked Eleanor up tightly. She wanted to persuade them and tell them that this was the box's seduction.

Eleanor ignored her completely, one hand resting on her chest, the gem that had emerged from the Black Box in her palm.

"Merge with me!"

Kallen stared in astonishment at Eleanor, whose body continued to grow larger. Her skin was ashen, and her legs had lost their human shape, resembling those of Honkai Beasts, like a spider. Her crimson pupils had lost all human emotion.

"Eleanor is truly loyal."

Little Knowledge said in a sarcastic tone.

"After all, Otto saved her life. If it weren't for Otto, she probably would have died in the Black Death. Loyalty is normal, but blind loyalty is not."

Fu Hua shook her head, as if she could see Eleanor's fate.

This battle was inherently unfair.

Otto would not allow anyone to kill Kallen in front of him, and Kallen would not die at Eleanor's hands, but at the hands of the Honkai Beasts that disrupted the execution ground before her hanging.

It feels so cool to have seen the future.

Fu Hua was secretly delighted, finally she wouldn't be as rigid as before, quietly listening to Mobius guess the future plot, because they had both seen the future plot.

"This Black Box is truly a sin. If it weren't for the Black Box, perhaps many things wouldn't have happened."

Kevin sighed, quite disappointed.

"I wonder who came up with this Black Box? What were they thinking?"

Upon hearing Kevin's words, both Mobius and Yaqing were taken aback.

"Pfft."

Yaqing couldn't help himself; he was filled with regret for not recording it with his phone earlier.

Seeing that Yaqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, Mobius couldn't hold it in either.

Kevin was completely confused. He scratched his head, not understanding what the two of them were laughing about.

"What are you laughing at? Don't just think about your own happiness, tell us so we can all have a laugh."

Little Knowledge asked curiously.
