"To resurrect the Saintess who, five hundred years ago, shone light upon you, who were imprisoned within high walls and trapped in the shadows of your childhood— Kallen Caslana?"

Faced with Otto's intense gaze, Gwen met his eyes open and slowly gave his answer.

"...

Call..."

Although Otto had anticipated this when Gwen revealed it, he still felt a jolt when Gwen actually said the answer.

Looking at Gwen's face, which had originally resembled him by ninety percent or more, but now inexplicably only by six or seven tenths, Otto took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the stale air, and nodded gently, his voice calm:

"It seems that the World Bubble you saw has a very high degree of similarity to our world—"

This is indeed a long-cherished wish I've always wanted to fulfill, but after countless failures, I still haven't been able to achieve it.

At this moment, Otto didn't argue with Gwen that this wasn't his idea; he simply admitted it openly, but his gaze towards Gwen grew even more intense—

"Did I succeed in that world?"

Although Otto guessed from Gwen's earlier allusion to "relying" that Gwen might have some ideas to achieve his own goals, Otto still wanted to know if his counterpart in that world had succeeded.

However, Gwen extinguished Otto's burning gaze with just two words—

"Have no idea."

Despite Otto's intense gaze, Gwen had already prepared his response, remained remarkably calm.

Chapter 275 Void Archives: Oh my god, family members, the pink fat woman has come back to life!

"In the world I saw, you deceived almost everyone to achieve your goals, throwing out a plan that could lead to the destruction of the entire world, making enemies of everyone, and finally, with Kiana's power, you opened the door to a strange place and sent yourself away from the real world."

Gwen's voice was deep and his expression serious, which made Otto feel a little nervous.

"Then, an invincible monster came from the other side of the door and destroyed that world."

Whether you were crushed to death by those monsters or successfully achieved your goal before leaving this world, no one knows.

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's introduction, Otto's computer, mounted on his Soul Steel body, ran at full power, analyzing the information contained in Gwen's words and comparing it with his own numerous plans.

After a moment, Otto, having analyzed and drawn numerous conclusions, nodded with a look of realization, seemingly lost in thought:

"I see..."

"It seems you already have that crazy plan in mind."

Gwen didn't know whether Otto's feelings were genuine or just an act, but he still tried to strike up a conversation.

When Gwen asked him a question, Otto simply smiled nonchalantly and raised a hand to wave it.

"There are more than fifty follow-up plans related to Sirin Project, and more than a handful of them match the ending you mentioned."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Gwen covered his face.

"Should I say that you're truly worthy of this?"

"After all, the more failures you experience, the more you learn to have multiple contingency plans."

Otto smiled, uploading and backing up the many conclusions and possibilities he had just drawn, while leisurely watching Gwen.

"So, Gwen, my good boy, what gift have you brought me this time?"

Or rather, what gives you the confidence to come back and persuade me?

You're a smart kid. Now that you've seen through my true colors, you should understand that I'm not the kind of person who will give up and reform just because of a simple defeat.

"Stop being so rude, and we can have a proper talk..."

Gwen rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, a look of disgust on his face as he stared at Otto, who was spouting threats.

"Ha ha..."

Otto, however, laughed heartily, just like a parent amused by their child.

In Otto's Remembrance, there were times when his childhood idol Francis wanted to get close to his daughter, but was also rejected by Kallen.

Otto immediately wiped the smile from his face and looked calmly at the young man opposite him:

"Alright, since you don't like it, let's do it business as usual—"

Bring out your chips!

If your reliance satisfies me, then I'm even willing to abandon all plans, including Sirin Project, to support your ideas.

However, if you cannot satisfy me, then I'm sorry.

Having caught the unspoken part of Otto's sentence, Gwen nodded dismissively, then suddenly uttered something seemingly unrelated to the present moment—

"You should be carrying the Void Archives with you right now, right?"

"Let him come out for a moment."

"Oh?"

Otto wasn't surprised that Gwen knew the whereabouts of the Void Archives, but he was a little puzzled as to why the Void Archives had been summoned. He then flipped his right hand, and a golden cube with a slightly ethereal feel appeared in Otto's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Void Archives, or rather... Prometheus."

"Nice to meet you, Gwen..."

Although I had seen you long before you came into this world, this is indeed our first formal meeting.

A faint light flickered within the golden cube, and a voice almost identical to Otto's, only with a slightly more affected tone, came from within.

As for that name...

So, it seems that even in the rubble of the world you see, there's a trace of my past?

"Certainly."

Upon hearing the unverified information revealed by the Void Archives, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Gwen's eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled and nodded.

Immediately, Gwen stopped communicating with the Void Archives and looked at Otto, who was holding it:

"This should be genuine, right?"

There are still some things that need its verification.

"It seems my credibility with you has completely collapsed."

Otto wasn't annoyed by this; he simply shrugged and said casually.

"Is it really fake?"

Gwen's brow twitched.

"After all, your Apollo, I have to be careful."

Otto smiled, neither refuting nor contradicting, and weighed the Void Archives in his hand.

Immediately, the voice of Void Archives resounded once more—

"It can't be called a fake. The material is the same as the original, but it's missing the crucial core. What I just said was my own words, just relayed by Otto."

"Tsk... It has been running for over 50,000 years, but in less than 500 years you have completely transformed into Otto's appearance, Void Archives."

Gwen was still unsure whether the item in front of him was genuine or fake, but for the time being, he treated it as genuine.

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black; this is no different from the saying."

The Void Archives showed no shame whatsoever in this matter.

"Although he's not a good person, there's no denying that he has a lot of personal charisma."

Moreover, to be honest, the biggest change I made was before I met him.

"I'm a little curious, if a human figure were projected, would you look like your original form or like his?"

Gwen asked, as if he were genuinely interested in the matter.

"Oh..."

Otto wasn't in a hurry to urge him, and with a light laugh, granted Void Archives some permissions.

The next moment, light and shadow flashed, and another Otto appeared in front of Gwen.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have indeed become more and more like him over the past five hundred years."

Void Archives wore a smile, but its tone was somewhat dejected.

As he spoke, Void Archives also looked at Otto beside him.

Apart from their clothes and expressions, the two are now almost identical.

However, the response he received was not from Gwen, but from the voice of a playful, lively, and enthusiastic young girl—

"Hmm... it seems you've grown quite a bit, Prometheus, haven't you?"

The next moment, the expression on the projection of the Void Archives paused—

Although he didn't have a projection like he does now, even just his voice was enough for him to connect with certain audio information in the database that had no practical value and to confirm his identity.

"Elysia?"

You're still alive?

Although he did not witness Elysia's demise firsthand, Void Archives was certain that the strange woman was dead based on everyone's reactions afterward.

Even without comparing the audio, Void Archives could confirm that the voice was indeed Elysia's—

Heaven knows how many things that fat woman did when she borrowed it, things that left it speechless at the time, so much so that it, which should only record information useful to the development of modern civilization, retained so much information about this woman.

Chapter 276 Otto: We will win!

The information that should have been thrown into the information garbage heap by Void Archives and never be looked at again suddenly popped up, making Void Archives instantly recall the strange theories that had been instilled in him when he was still ignorant and that time of doing nothing.

For a moment, even the smile and tone of Void Archives, which seemed to be cut from the same mold as Otto's, could not be maintained, which made Otto show an interesting expression.

At this moment, the projection of Void Archives was also under Otto's control, so Otto could confirm that this was not Void Archives putting on an act in front of him, but rather genuine surprise from the bottom of his heart.

Even... a little apprehensive?

Elysia, who could elicit such emotions from the Void Archives, instantly caught Otto's attention.

"Hmm~?"

Faced with the Void Archives' bewildered questions, Elysia's voice held an added hint of amusement.

"How surprising and happy to see an old friend again after so many years!"

"..."

After the initial subconscious surprise and fear, the shrewdness that the Void Archives had cultivated over the long years quietly returned.

The surprise and uncertainty on his face disappeared, replaced by calmness and simple doubt.

As for fear?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Void Archives absolutely denies having had that emotion.

"Is it really you?"

After the initial emotional fluctuations, Void Archives began to subconsciously doubt the authenticity of this suddenly appearing Elysia.

Although it instantly brought back memories of his experiences from 50,000 years ago, Elysia had clearly died 50,000 years ago!

Moreover, it was a complete disappearance, a death that left no trace, not even a corpse or Herrscher Core!

How could Elysia, in this state, suddenly appear 50,000 years later?

"Uh-huh?

"Have you Void Archives who introduced you and Danzhu to games back then?"
