She enjoyed watching this scene; girls sticking things together was more appealing to her than destroying the world.

"It would be very difficult to end this if we didn't get married."

Little Knowledge sighed.

At the same time, he was happy for Rita. Since Yaqing could write such a script, it meant that he had already agreed to Rita and Durandal's marriage in his heart.

Rita's efforts were not in vain.

Elysia's smile didn't last long. As she listened to Durandal and Rita's final promises, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

What's the difference between this and waiting for me to come back so we can get married?

Is Durandal going to get stabbed?

Fu Hua has just rediscovered her original aspirations, so she's unlikely to be killed off so quickly. But Durandal is different. She's not Herrscher, her storyline isn't extensive, and given her overpowered life, she's very likely to be a shooting star.

After all Durandal isn't the main character, but her experiences are just as compelling as those of the main character.

The more Elysia thought about it, the more likely it seemed that she would leave the stage with Otto.

"Elysia, stop overthinking. Have you forgotten? The writers just tricked the audience. We all thought Fu Hua was going to get nerfed, but it turned out she was just finding her roots. Durandal might also get a remake."

Eden whispered in Elysia's ear.

"Um!"

Elysia nodded.

The four people in the back row were completely oblivious to the ambiguous relationship between Rita and Durandal.

After all, he was a staunch heterosexual and didn't have much affection for Xu.

Kevin and Yaqing, in particular, still harbor a slight wariness towards Elysia.

Kevin let out a deep breath.

"I think what Chang Kong said is very true."

When Otto Apocalypse gets serious, he is without a doubt the most dangerous human being on Earth—without exception.

"Really."

Mei also strongly agreed.

A rational madman is far more dangerous than Kevin. Kevin currently only wants to execute the plan, but what if Otto's plan to revive Kallen is truly thwarted by Kiana and the others?

Who knows what this madman might do?

Mobius nodded slightly.

Yaqing had a question.

"Snakey, you think so too?"

Upon hearing Yaqing's question, Mobius would look at him with an expression as if he were an idiot.

"I don't care how dangerous Otto is, what I agree with is what Changguang said."

"Scientific research should not be limited by human will."

The World Serpent has three PhDs who are renowned in the academic world.

However, there are also differences in quality and level among them.

The academic community's most recognized figure is not May, nor Hubius, but Vill-V.

May's analysis and experiments on the universe were mostly speculative.

Many of Mobius's experiments were not recognized by the academic community.

The same goes for Vill-V; they can generate more than 200 patents a year.

Mobius's gaze towards Yaqing was almost drawn out.

Yaqing's heart skipped a beat.

He seemed to understand what Mobius was thinking: that he had written this plot specifically to support Mobius. But heaven and earth can bear witness that Changguang was that kind of person.

He didn't write it on purpose.

Schicksal Headquarters.

"Ohhhh!!!"

In the office of the Immortal Blades team, the team members under Durandal's command saw this scene and all started to cheer. They had seen Rita's love for Durandal, but Durandal had never responded.

But now, things seem to have taken a turn for the better.

Yarvete secretly took out her phone and sent the photo of Durandal blushing to Rita.

It can be said that none of the members of the Immortal Blades team lost contact with Rita because of her transfer; Rita's transfer was not a transfer but a promotion.

As the president's student, Yaqing will definitely return to headquarters. At that time, Rita will no longer be just a simple deputy team leader.

Durandal's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

Rita's words were incredibly damaging to her.

She felt as if she was hallucinating.

I will take good care of our child and wait for you to come back...

Durandal shuddered, then her face turned even redder.

He cursed inwardly.

If I found out who wrote this part of the story, I would definitely...

Durandal secretly made up her mind.

"Stop making a scene!"

Durandal was enraged.

Seeing Durandal's anger and embarrassment, the team members knew they shouldn't continue to make a fuss, so they quickly shut their mouths.

"Rita doesn't know what you're thinking right now..."

Durandal's thoughts had completely drifted to the Far East.

Meanwhile, Rita, whom she longed for, was currently rolling around on the bed with her tablet in her arms.

If others saw this, they would certainly not believe that the elegant maid and the ladylike secretary would do such a thing.

Her hair was a little messy from rolling around, and her face was flushed.

Rita looked like she had just done something bad.

"Click".

The door opened.

Seeing this, Shub silently withdrew and closed the door again.

"Sorry to bother you."

Rita's blushing face turned deathly pale with fright at this unexpected turn of events.

No... it's not what you think.

Rita jumped off the bed and opened the door.

Shub had already run away without looking back.

"No need to explain, I understand. Everyone has physiological needs, but... Rita, remember to lock the door next time."

Upon hearing these words, Rita shattered like a stone sculpture.

482

Chapter 482 Otto's Unconventional Journey of Self-Examination.

"I wonder how far His Bishop will go this time... I hope he can still remember his original intention."

As Rita talks to herself, the camera switches to Otto, whose consciousness is now immersed in the endless void.

He recalled that spring.

That afternoon.

His invention flew over the wall, bringing a beam of light.

From that moment on, the girl's appearance changed the boy's fate, and the gears of destiny began to turn. At that time, they did not know what this encounter represented.

"Great inventor, I have a request. Would you grant it?"

"A request...?"

"Yes! When we grow up... come and save the world with me!"

This scene was already seen in the Purple Iris chapter. Whether it's Purple Iris or the main storyline, this part of the plot is Otto's memory.

That smile mended the boy's fragile heart.

"Every time I see this part, I find it unbelievable that the little boy who looks like he would cry for a long time if he was hit is actually Otto."

Sakura shook her head, a strange look of surprise on her face.

She had never seen Otto as a child, or rather, none of the people present had ever seen Otto as a child.

The Otto they knew was already the CEO of Schicksal, and he would never show this side of himself. He was a master strategist, seemingly holding the world's wealth in his hands. That was the Otto they knew.

"How ironic."

Su shook her head.

This aligns with Rita's original intention.

Wasn't Otto's original intention to save the world with Kallen? Now, the great inventor who was supposed to save the world has spent five hundred years turning himself into a world-destroying fool in order to bring his Saintess back from the other side of the underworld.

Such an ironic scene is unfolding right before the audience's eyes.

"From a personal perspective, I really admire Otto."

Kevin sighed.

Otto's goals are respectable, but his actions are not praiseworthy.

Kevin suddenly remembered a comment Yaqing made about Otto.

His crimes are countless, but his achievements will endure forever.

Otto's complexity can be summed up in a single sentence, encapsulating his five centuries of life.

Otto walks on the clouds, reminiscing about the past.

Even the Void Archives couldn't help but start complaining.

"It's rare to see you reminiscing about your childhood. Are you feeling resentful about your inevitable death?"

Otto gave a mocking smile.

He had just told Theresa and the others that he was willing to die, and that it was a death wish that came 500 years too late.

But the Void Archives had a different opinion. In its view, Otto was merely using this method to cover up his tension and fear.

Otto neither confirmed nor denied it.

As he was about to cross the finish line, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Didn't you ever expect more?

The Void Archives struck a chord with Otto's soul in a single sentence.

"Why not? If it's just wishful thinking..."

Otto's eyes gradually deepened, filled with resentment, regret, and sorrow—no emotion could adequately describe those eyes.

"But you must also understand that the Void Archives —the truly impossible things are those that were destined to be impossible from the very beginning."

Otto chuckled softly.

I invite the Void Archives to accompany me on a journey through the depths of my memories.
