Chapter 1: The Ever-Changing Girl, Void Archives

"Hey! Look what I found! A time-simulated crystal with self-awareness!" A cheerful voice echoed in the chaotic world. Accompanying the voice, a humanoid phantom approached your screen, holding a greenish-blue crystal. "It seems that beings from other dimensions are influencing the Imaginary Tree." The phantom chuckled softly, then its finger-like appendage pinched slightly. "Hehe, the power of millions of captains, supreme authority surpassing the Imaginary Tree... Whose game is this?" The gaze of a god fell upon a leaf being pulled by transparent threads. "How interesting." It extended a black tentacle. Poor world... how could a projection surpassing the Imaginary Tree not make the seeker beneath the tree salivate?

December 23, 2013, Schicksal Headquarters. "My Lord Bishop, do you have any orders?" "It's nothing, Amber. Let me have a moment alone with my old friend." Amber looked at Otto Apocalypse, the Schicksal Grand Bishop, with a smiling face, her expression filled with confusion. "Understood, my Lord Bishop." She put down the prepared red wine, gently closed the door, and coincidentally took away the "Kallen Fantasy" game console from the screen. "You should have spoken up just now, Otto of the present," After Amber left, a phantom appeared in the room. Upon closer inspection, its appearance was identical to Otto in the room. "That would be more in line with your persona as a great romantic." "I think," Otto, sitting at the table, had a slight dimming of his smile, "someone whose secretary can cut down their game budget wouldn't care about 'having their game console taken away'." As if. If he hadn't just transmigrated and dared not act rashly, Otto grumbled inwardly. He would definitely let Void Archives know what it means to have things done by a secretary! Yes, he was no longer the original Otto from Honkai Impact 3 or Honkai Gakuen, but a Honkai fanfic writer who had just transmigrated. Who knew that touching a certain ancient book would invade his brain, and then he'd inexplicably transmigrate?! And... why couldn't he transmigrate into someone else, but into Otto Apocalypse, the pure love warrior and the pinnacle of intelligence in the current civilization?! That Grand Bishop Otto, whom he had furiously spammed "Go die, dog Otto" at when watching "The Last Lesson"? That Otto, whom he always cursed when feeling sorry for Kiana changing from a "cockroach" to a "firefly"? That pure love old thief, who made him fall silent for a long time when "Thus Spoke Apocalypse" was released? He had even written in a comment section that if he really transmigrated into the Honkai world, he planned to pour a drink at Otto's grave and then smash the cup on the grave! Why did he transmigrate into him?! This... Have I finally become the person I hated the most? Transmigrator Otto shook his head, his inner turmoil quickly subsiding. All other emotions were temporarily suppressed. Now was not the time to dwell on it. Even without Otto's intelligence, he should brace himself to protect his own life, for example... "Void Archives," he said, his expression calm, "I am very glad that you can be so composed." First, he had to trick Void Archives into leaving.

He put on an act, trying to imitate Otto, but deliberately revealed certain flaws in his demeanor and actions.

Otto knew that the matter of transmigration, it was more than likely—no, it was certain that Void Archives wouldn't be able to hide it from her.

He and she had genuinely killed each other for five hundred years, from after Kallen's father died until Otto became a pseudo-god and traveled to the Imaginary Tree to alter everything.

In "Post-Honkai Odyssey," she even took on Otto's appearance and voice.

Perhaps the Otto x Kallen pairing was destined to be orthodox, but the fans of the Otto x Void Archives pairing were clearly the biggest winners!

Therefore, the other party must have already seen that this body had been replaced.

But that wasn't a big problem, after all, Void Archives had no loyalty to that man—on the contrary, she had always wanted to seize Otto's body.

Thinking of this, the current Otto immediately realized—Void Archives hadn't tried to seize control of this body again after his "takeover"?

Was it because his soul was powerful or he had a cheat system? Or... was she afraid the original owner would return after his consciousness faded?

The man pulled at the corner of his lips. He wouldn't consider the former for now; he dared not be careless about such matters.

As for the latter... that kind of fear was definitely present.

So, he should make good use of this fear—

A threat of self-destruction? The man immediately thought of it, but quickly set it aside—it wasn't that he feared death, it was just that this method could clearly only be used once.

If he were to truly use this trump card, he would definitely need to make some preparations first to maximize the benefits gained from such a threat—of course, he couldn't drag it out for too long, as the longer it took, the less useful the rewards would be.

What he wanted now was simply to coexist peacefully with Void Archives; this kind of benefit wasn't worth threatening death over.

But if he didn't consider this method for now, Otto, who had just transmigrated and was alone with Void Archives, had no leverage...

Then he would rack his brains to subtly deepen her cognitive gap and fear through words, and induce her to have thoughts that would arise from this fear and be beneficial to him.

This way, she would subconsciously help the current Otto, and when the time came for life-threatening coercion, he could also gain more benefits from it.

The man clenched his fist and calmly said:

"Of course, I am Otto Apocalypse, the current Archbishop of Schicksal."

"Oh, my old friend," Void Archives said with a smug expression, "let me guess, your next line is going to be that you've just lost some memory data, so you seem a little different than before?"

Good idea.

Otto's "pupils constricted," and he said "involuntarily":

"You..."

His tone rose slightly, but he quickly "pretended to be calm again."

"Old friend, you really suit my taste."

Heh heh, Void Archives sneered inwardly. How could Otto be so flustered? This little guy who usurped the nest might have inherited some of Otto's memories and knew a lot about Otto, but in reality...

Tsk tsk, undeserved position, luck without destiny!

"Then what are you missing?"

Since he wanted to play Otto, Void Archives didn't mind playing along.

At least... this Otto in front of her seemed less troublesome than the previous one.

"I lost... the memories of spending time with Kallen Kaslana day in and day out, and then I watched the entire process from a third-person perspective."

Otto clutched his chest, acting a little lost and helpless:

"I don't accept why I was so stubborn before, and I don't want to return to that state of madness from the past."

Yo yo yo?

She was familiar with this scene!

Void Archives had followed Otto for five hundred years. In all she had seen and heard, this type of person...

There were countless such people throughout history!

Void Archives showed a sly smile, turned her body, and transformed into the appearance of Kallen Kaslana. Her sky-blue eyes sparkled, and her long, fair legs were exposed to the air.

"You mean you're no longer interested in this body?"

Void Archives, having transformed into Kallen, walked up to Otto, bent down to meet his gaze, and her lowered collar revealed her plump snow-white breasts. Her fair fingers beckoned Otto's chin:

"Can you say that again, O, T, T, O, A, P, O, C, A, L, Y, P, S, E?"

She used Kallen's synthesized voice.

Otto's breath hitched. Although he wasn't the previous Otto Apocalypse, and the figure before him was just a virtual avatar, but...

But she was so good at it!

Of course, the transmigrated Otto quickly recovered and then deliberately let a trace of greed flash in his eyes.

Not pure, mirror-like affection, not an obsession with wanting her to return.

But... humanity's most fundamental, most primal desire.

Reproduction.

"Look, what do I see?" Void Archives said as if she had discovered a rare treasure, "Good heavens, Otto Apocalypse, who has been lonely for five hundred years, actually has lust for me, an artificial intelligence?"

"I don't," Otto replied, feigning calm, his chest rising and falling slightly.

"Ah, yes, that's right, I have no worldly desires," Void Archives said, looking at Otto's heaving chest with a knowing smile. "It's not me, the AI, but... her."

"But... what about this?"

Void Archives snapped her fingers, transforming into the appearance of Yae Sakura with pink hair and fox ears, her eyes full of allure.

If it were the previous Bishop, he wouldn't have had the slightest thought about this pink-haired fox who had stolen his girl. But now, the man's gaze flickered with a hint of distraction before he remembered his identity and prepared to fly into a rage.

"You?!"

But before his "fury could ignite," Void Archives changed again:

"How about this, my dear Bishop?"

Rita Rossweisse...

A woman who ticked all his boxes, except for her short hair!

But the real one is my black-stockinged maid, so why would I want your illusion?

Otto chuckled inwardly, but outwardly, he played along, pausing for a moment before preparing to speak, only to be interrupted by Void Archives once more, as expected:

"And... this?"
