"No, my crimes are too numerous to count, they are not worth it, and no one can forgive me."

Otto shook his head, denying Gwen's words.

"Life is gone, and there is no way to make up for it."

Kallen sighed deeply and closed her eyes in anguish—

"I just hope that before he goes to hell, he can do something for this world, as a way of... atonement."

Even though Otto's actions stemmed entirely from his own volition, they were ultimately caused by her. Kallen couldn't convince herself that it had nothing to do with her, and a deeper sense of guilt arose within her.

If Kallen hadn't known that Otto, in addition to his evil deeds, had directly or indirectly helped and relieved many more people, she probably would have dragged Otto to her death right now.

"Forgive me?"

Gwen nodded slightly, glanced at Otto, and saw that the Lord Bishop was just smiling, and the bruises on his face were no longer noticeable.

"It's time for me to take my final bow, but since Kallen still wants me to be of some use, then I should naturally be of some use as well."

Seeing Otto looking at him, Otto spoke, but instead of speaking Gwen, he took out a golden cube and tossed it to Gwen—

"Here you go, the Void Archives."

"Let it take over my work once you've debugged it, so there won't be a lot of job vacancies after I go to hell."

"You think I can train this thing? Aren't you overestimating me?"

Gwen caught the Void Archives and tossed it around, saying helplessly.

This thing was able to get back up even after the collapse and trick Old Yang into going outside the Solar System; he's not exactly a cunning person.

"As far as I know, the Miss Velvie you resurrected seems to be its creator. You can ask her about it."

Um...

And then there's Vita from Venus; given her personality, perhaps she could teach Void Archives a lesson.

As for Stargazer...

Although she is very intelligent, she is still young and somewhat inflexible; she is probably no match for Void Archives.

"So you've arranged everything, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen rolled his eyes. Years had passed, and Otto still had everything arranged perfectly.

"Of course you can arrange it, but since I'm still here, I'll do a little more for you..."

Otto ignored Gwen's eye roll, chuckled twice, and seeing that Gwen seemed about to say something, quickly added—

"Our savior..."

"Forget about being a savior, I'm not the Penglai Si Jiuxiao."

Although Otto didn't use that affected, nauseating tone, Gwen still shook his head.

"Oh?

Penglai Si Jiuxiao?

Otto didn't care about Gwen's attitude; instead, he asked with considerable curiosity—

Who is that?

"A self-proclaimed savior, a chuunibyou high school girl..."

He is truly the savior of light.

Gwen gave a casual reply without further explanation.

If you ask him again, he really won't know, since he doesn't play Honkai Academy.

"Since we're planning to let Otto make one last contribution before he dies, how about you keep an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything bad during this time?"

Gwen looked at Kallen and said.

With Kallen watching over him, Otto probably won't do anything outrageous, right?

"Can... I do it?"

Kallen was very confident in her intelligence; she knew she could never outsmart Otto, or rather, she would definitely be completely fooled.

"Let's find someone else, like quickly getting Void Archives trained."

Otto also said—

"I know Kallen too well. If I wanted to, she would help me count the money even if she were sold off."

"Okay, I was being a bit presumptuous."

Seeing that both of them disagreed, Gwen nodded helplessly.

"Speaking of which, Fu Hua should be the one to show you around this era right now, but she still has to look after Xiao Shi over there and won't be back for a while..."

"Um?

Has our great Herrscher of Reason not returned?

Otto seemed unwilling to Gwen the previous topic of conversation and enthusiastically changed the subject.

"She's over there doing good deeds, slaying demons and monsters."

Fu Hua needs to keep an eye on her, lest she get carried away and start killing.

Gwen answered casually.

After finding mind-reading too disgusting, the Herrscher of Reason decisively gave up the ability and, at Fu Hua's suggestion, began to train himself to discern people's hearts without using his powers... The ability of a fairy to read minds is to save good fairies and kill bad fairies.

After a while, the Herrscher of Reason simply started treating it as a journey through the martial arts world, upholding justice and taking care of the children along the way.

Although Xiao Shi's personality is a bit unconventional, it can just make up for a part of what is missing in Bavantsi's nature.

"The Herrscher?"

Kallen keenly grasped the key words, but did not understand their meaning.

"It's a bit complicated to explain... It's similar to Sakura who was controlled by the demon in the Black Box in Yae Village back then, but a much stronger and more terrifying enemy."

Of course, because of their high intelligence, Herrscher can also be persuaded and subdued, becoming one of humanity's forces against the Honkai.

Gwen said succinctly,

"As for the Herrscher of Reason we are talking about, Xiao Shi, he is the Herrscher that the Scarlet Mandarin Immortal you know subdued by offering himself to the tiger."

"Oh..."

Kallen nodded slowly, but the look of doubt on her face only deepened.

"Alright, Kallen, don't worry about it. You'll understand when you learn more about modern things."

Seeing Yae Sakura comforted her—

"However, this is not an easy thing. I still haven't fully adapted to modern life."

"Isn't it because you prefer to stay in the shrine within the Stigmata Space?"

Gwen retorted.

"Hehe..."

Yae Sakura smiled without saying a word.

Soon after, Yae Sakura took Kallen away from there. After washing Kallen up, she took her to find the modern class teacher she had chosen for her.

"Let Theresa take Kallen, how could you even think of that?"

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Gwen grumbled to Otto.

"Anyway, Theresa doesn't like official duties, so this gives her a reasonable excuse to slack off."

Otto smiled, declined Gwen's offer to treat him, and said, his face covered in bruises,

"Moreover, little Theresa should be able to learn something from Kallen and grow from it."

And then there's the girl under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, the Kallen she knows, though different, she can still be of some help..."

"No Stargazer?"

Gwen an eyebrow.

"Ha, that child is too mature, but too smart. He's not a good teacher."

Otto smiled and turned to look at Gwen—

"Now that I am both the physical body and the soul of the original body, aren't you going to give me a control package?"

This shouldn't be too difficult for you right now, right?

Chapter 695: Continuing the Bloodline of Caslana and Schariac?

"?"

Upon hearing Otto's words, Gwen blinked, a word suddenly flashing through his mind—

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

Once upon a time, lying trembling in his hospital bed, he was worried that Otto would give him a brainwashing treatment that would read his Remembrance, format his brain, and implant false Remembrance.

But now, it's Otto's turn to ask to be brainwashed.

Life... is truly wondrous.

"You really have... given me a tough challenge, Bishop Otto."

After a moment of eye contact with Otto, confirming that the person before him was genuinely sincere in making this suggestion, Gwen sighed.

"What, have you become unable to bring yourself to hurt me after all these years together?"

Even if it's just a small restriction to prevent me from causing trouble?

Otto raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement creeping into his smile—

"While I am glad that you are willing to go easy on me, it is not a good thing to go easy on a dangerous person like me."

"..."

Seeing Otto's serious expression, Gwen was momentarily speechless, and sighed, rubbing his forehead.

No, you're overthinking it...

I just... don't know how to set the restrictions for the time being.

For a villain with such high intelligence as you, the best option is to eliminate you.

But you're still very useful right now, so we need to keep you.

However, for someone with such high intelligence as you, especially someone skilled at understanding people's minds, even mind control isn't insurmountable. It's even quite possible that you could use it as a tool to deceive me and others later when your intentions are reversed.

"Do you need me to help you come up with some limiting ideas?"

A slight disappointment flashed through Otto's mind, but his smile grew even brighter.

"No, if you interfere with the system's development any further, I'll be even less willing to use it."

Gwen waved his hands repeatedly—

Gwen never hesitated to use his fullest abilities to predict the future of such intelligent people.

"So it seems I've given you a difficult problem?"

Otto chuckled.

"Just like Su Shang and the others?"

"Say that again and I'll make sure you don't have a single patch of skin on your face."

Gwen glared, raising his fist crackling with electricity, causing Otto to take a step back.

"Then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Otto immediately took a step back, his smile subtle, yet still carrying a hint of pleasure.

"After all, I still need to use this face to host some work."

"Let's not talk about that now. What are your plans for the future?"

Gwen lowered his fist and asked.

"From now on..."
