Otto, Herrscher of Binding?

"Welcome, my dear friend despite the age gap, the top S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal."

Otto changed his demeanor from before, hiding his emotions once again and reverting to his histrionic personality.

Durandal had no time for beating around the bush with Otto and asked directly, "What exactly does 'destroy the present, then choose the past again' mean?"

Otto began explaining this most expensive plan to Durandal from the beginning. To complete the graft, he needed three conditions:

First, the method to explore, access, and even reach the Imaginary Tree.

Second, the equipment and energy that support the above operations, specifically the Second Divine Key: Thousand Worlds of Chariots, and sufficient Honkai energy.

Third, the suitable spatiotemporal target for grafting is the stable region that can be locked using the beacon of the Chijie Yicheng.

Otto directly admitted that he had made a deal with the Collapse Consciousness, and the other party lowered the door for him, and he would become the other party's agent.

"Bishop, do you intend to become a Herrscher?"

Durandal's tone was serious. She never imagined that the leader of human civilization, the bishop of Schicksal, would voluntarily become an apostle of the Honkai of the world.

Faced with Durandal's relentless questioning, Otto kept dodging the question until he could no longer avoid it, at which point he finally admitted the price he would have to pay for his plan.

Outside the Klostoten Town, the entire world will vanish without a trace, and this town will become the epitaph of modern civilization, the price to be paid for the most successful plan he is about to execute.

"This is insane! You're practically murdering everyone in the world, Bishop!"

Durandal clearly did not approve of Otto's plan, and her anger was hard to conceal. In her eyes, what was the difference between this and a massacre?

Otto, however, didn't care at all.

He will ultimately rescue a living, breathing free will from this vague concept of humanity.

Kallen Kaslana.

"Kallen Kaslana should not have died the way we know her to be. This is not just my fault, it is the fault of all humanity."

Otto was acting as if possessed.

"This is not a reason to try to murder one of the people in the world, especially since that era is long gone, and you are the only one still alive among those involved."

Otto closed his eyes upon hearing Durandal's angry words.

"Yes, every normal human being would say that."

"Therefore, as a representative of [normal human beings]—"

"Durandal, I'll give you a chance."

Otto opened his eyes, which were now filled with fighting spirit.

"Kill me, and my plans will vanish in an instant."

Even with Otto's words, Durandal still did not choose to take action.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Otto's eyes as he went on a taunting spree.

"The person standing in front of you is nothing more than a collection of sins and desires."

"He knows the virtues but does not uphold them; he knows the despicable but tramples on them."

"He yearns for wisdom, but only to achieve personal satisfaction; he worships beauty, but only to deny the existence of ugliness."

"He felt that the world was full of superfluous people, to the point that the value of life was wasted by them."

"Only when his own life comes to an end will Otto Apocalypse look up at the pure sky and enjoy a moment of the divine tremor that it brings to his soul."

Durandal sensed something was amiss with Otto's clearly villainous speech. Otto was still holding back; she had witnessed a true world destroyer in the World Bubble, whose behavior was completely different from Otto's.

It was precisely because Otto had treated her well that Durandal desperately wanted to know the truth.

"But I think all you need to know right now is that if you don't stop me... I'll kill almost everyone in this world."

"Speak, "Otto said, launching an attack on Durandal.

"Further words are useless. Come, Durandal."

Chapter 484 Otto Herrscher of Binding?

The audience was surprised to see Otto actually attack Durandal, even though they already knew that the Abyss Flower would fall into Otto's hands and that Durandal would be nowhere to be found by the time Kiana arrived at the church.

"Wow! Otto actually became Herrscher! Following the order, it should be..."

Little Knowledge couldn't remember for a moment.

After all, the tragedy of the constraint was only mentioned once in the Sea of Quanta, and given Little Knowledge's impulsive nature, it's quite normal that he forgot about it.

"Constraint."

Fu Hua uttered two words with a solemn expression.

Previously, they had already guessed that the Herrscher of Binding would be born between Otto and Theresa, but they still favored Theresa, as the master of the Far East Demon Cave, whose students had all become Herrscher.

However, judging from the current conversation between Otto and Durandal, Otto seems to have acquired the power of restraint.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, didn't Otto already seize the power of domination?"

Little Knowledge's beautiful eyes widened.

Domination allows one to seize the Herrscher Core Herrscher.

Constraints can nullify Honkai energy.

Both of these powers, if placed in the same person, would be extremely difficult to deal with.

Not to mention Otto's terrifying mind and his 500 years of experience in controlling the world.

She is far more terrifying than Sirin, the Five-Core Herrscher.

"No wonder Otto isn't worried at all. It turns out he has both powers. So how are Kiana and the others supposed to stop Otto's plan?"

Pardo couldn't help but worry.

Even though viewers genuinely believe that Otto's plan to turn back the world by 500 years will never succeed, they still worry about Kiana and the others; that's the sense of oppression Otto brings.

If Kevin were to insist on carrying out the Stigmata Project one day, even if Kiana and her team had a significant advantage, the audience would still worry about Kiana. This is the sense of pressure that Kevin brings.

"Otto is serious this time."

Sakura pouted, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

Both the plot development and Otto's attitude tell the audience that he is serious this time, without any hiding or playing around. Being serious is his mindset in this chapter.

"Moreover, not only the Collapse Consciousness, but even Kevin returned the Void Archives to help Otto."

Cherry's eyes were burning.

"Kiana and the others are truly isolated and helpless."

Before Kevin returned the Void Archives to Otto, the audience still harbored a sliver of hope for help, such as having Kevin break through all laws with brute force. However, seeing that Kevin was supporting Otto, they abandoned that idea.

The Lord of the World Serpent has made a decision.

Gray Serpent, that loyal dog, will certainly not disobey the Lord's decision, Jackal, that madwoman, will not be willing to help Kiana and the others. That leaves Raven, but on such a battlefield, Raven's presence is better than nothing.

"Etc."

Su frowned, and her narrowed eyes involuntarily opened.

Elysia once said that there are four levels of severity: Sue has no reaction, Sue reacts but does not open her eyes, Sue reacts and her eyelids tremble, and Sue's eyes widen.

So when they saw Su Xingyan, Little Knowledge, Fu Hua, Ying, Pardo, the two couples in the back row were drawn to them, and even Elysia and Eden in the front row couldn't help but turn their heads.

Even the seemingly indifferent Kalpas silently pricked up his ears in the darkness.

"Hey!"

Elysia was surprised.

"Su, what did you think of? You actually opened your eyes!"

Kevin was stunned.

He was the first person to know Su, and he knew Su's tricks all too well.

Su opened her eyes to her bright pink hue.

"I wonder if you guys remember? There was a scene in the promotional material where Durandal and Mei fought in the Sea of Quanta, but judging from the current situation, there's no reason for Durandal to work for Otto anymore."

A sentence from Su.

They recalled their memories of the promotional video.

That leaves only three possibilities.

"Please speak."

Kevin made an invitation.

They say a man is a boy until he dies. With just one gesture, Sue knew Kevin wanted to act like a teenager, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he coughed a few times.

"The first possibility is that I missed the attack because I didn't see it earlier."

Su remained calm.

As they recalled it, it seemed as if he had only entered when they were halfway through their visit.

"The second type is PV scam."

Upon hearing Su's second possibility, everyone's gaze couldn't help but turn to Yaqing, who was sitting in the last row. Whether it was a PV scam or not, probably only Yaqing among those present knew.

"Hey, Yaqing, it can't really be like that, can it?"

Kevin looked suspicious.

He had long suspected that the Durandal and Raiden Mei contained elements of fabrication, perhaps a memory or an illusion. Hearing Sue's speculation deepened his suspicions.

Yaqing shrank behind Mobius, pretending to be shy.

"Everyone... please don't look at me like that..."

Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Mobius looked extremely embarrassed, and at the same time, he made up his mind that he absolutely could not let Yaqing and Kevin get any closer and become more and more abstract.

Even becoming like Otto is better than becoming as abstract as Kevin.

"Hey, Yaqing, what are you doing imitating Seele, a grown man like you?!"

Little Knowledge's precise and accurate critiques.

Seele is a soft and sweet little girl, but what is Yaqing?

This feeling is like Otto learning from Seele, which makes one feel...

"Huh..."

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but shudder.

Su paused for a moment; Yaqing's unexpected incident almost made him lose his composure.

"The third possibility is that Durandal will be brainwashed by Otto and become his henchman to fight against Kiana and the others, which is when she will fight Raiden Mei."

Su silenced everyone with a single sentence.

No one doubted whether Otto could do it, nor did anyone doubt Otto ability to do it. When it came to reviving Kallen, Otto was capable of anything.

Once, in the courtyard, Little Knowledge casually asked Yaqing a question.

"If someone told Otto that they could revive Kallen, what would Otto do?"

Yaqing remained silent for a moment before giving this answer.

"Otto will consider whether it's true or false and investigate accordingly. If it's false, he will kill that person without hesitation. If it's true, congratulations, you can have everything."

"Everything?"

"Yes, that's right, everything. Even becoming the Bishop of Schicksal is the same. As long as it doesn't involve that one and a half people, Otto will agree to anything, including changing his Honkai Steel body into a woman..."

Yaqing's second half of the sentence made Little Knowledge show a look of disgust.

The answer shocked everyone who heard it, and silence filled Cambridge that night.

"Who is that one and a half people?"

Little Knowledge asked cautiously.
