Meeting Lady Cecilia at Night! / Meeting Little Kiana!

When I saw him in person, I still couldn't help but want to punch him!

"This seems... a bit difficult."

Otto couldn't help but chuckle. Becoming a god, even a false god, was far beyond his current reach. Besides... he would eventually disappear completely. Although he could indeed resurrect Kallen, the price was...

Otto wasn't unwilling to accept the price, it's just...

"What about the third one?"

Otto then asked for a third method. According to the usual tropes of TV dramas, the third method is the real highlight, so Otto also planned to find out the answer first.

"The third one is relatively simple: the Imaginary Tree!"

Ling Xi smiled calmly and said, "Otto, you should have some understanding of the Imaginary Tree, right?"

"I do know about the Imaginary Tree, but..."

Otto calmly stated, "For mortals, the power and information of the Imaginary Tree are far too vast. Even if one successfully reaches the Imaginary Tree, one cannot make any changes. That kind of power is beyond the reach of humans!"

"That's right, it truly exists in a way that no human can come into contact with, but..."

Ling Xi calmly smiled and said, "If we kill the Honkai God and seize its power, then... would humanity be qualified to access or even modify the Imaginary Tree?"

"This..."

Otto frowned. It felt like... each method was increasingly unreliable, practically god-slaying...

This guy really came up with this idea. It's like he's actually done it before...

Um?

Suddenly, Otto recalled the information about Void Archives, which had shown fear when facing Ling Xi...

There are only two kinds of beings that can make the consciousness generated by the Herrscher Core, such as Void Archives, feel fear: one is Honkai God, and the other is... a being capable of completely destroying it, or rather... a being capable of destroying Honkai God!

"Ling Xi, are you... sure the third method will work?"

Otto didn't dare to ask Ling Xi for the answer directly, but instead tried to find out indirectly if it would be helpful!

"Of course, after all, that's what I did back then, and I've killed gods too."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "I think you also know that I am from the Previous Era. In the Previous Era, I saved my four wives using this method. Well... no, to be precise, two of them. The remaining two will be born in the future!"

When Ling Xi said those words, she felt no psychological pressure, after all, this was exactly what she had done back then!

At that time, I possessed the power of all my parallel world counterparts, which is why I gained power surpassing that of gods. It was under these circumstances that I arrived at the Imaginary Tree and altered the existence of Elysia, Klein, and the two Seele. In other words...

If Kallen had been there, he could have changed Kallen fate, and that... is the power Otto needs!

"Hiss..."

Even though Otto was mentally prepared, and even ready to accept Ling Xi's answer, he still couldn't help but gasp. At this moment, he felt an even Void Archives within him, a truly...

A fear that comes from within, etched into the very bones!

Chapter 632 A Night Encounter with Lady Cecilia!

At this moment, even Otto felt a deep sense of dread towards Ling Xi, because judging from the situation revealed by Void Archives, Ling Xi was not lying; he had indeed killed a god!

Although he didn't know what happened later, Otto dared not be careless in the slightest when facing such a dangerous person!

But in contrast, there is excitement, because...

If Ling Xi has done this once, it means she can do it a second time. And if Ling Xi can do it, then I...

Why can't we give it a try?

After all, this method... is really feasible!

Moreover, compared to the extreme nature of the first option and the cost of the second, the third option is clearly more in line with Otto's ideas because...

Only in the third way can I truly save Kallen and be with Kallen!

"The third method... how do I do it?"

So Otto spoke up; he wanted to know how to execute the third plan.

"You can't do it yet."

Ling Xi shook his head slightly and smiled, "The power of the Honkai God far exceeds the limits that humans can reach, so... right now, you can't do this, and neither can I!"

Ling Xi was confident about her past exploits, including her ability to kill a god with cheat codes, but that was all in the past, and such a cheat-like feat was unlikely to happen again, so...

If you want to kill a god, there's only one way!

"Then who can do it?"

Otto just wanted to know who could do this.

"Well... one of my wives, perhaps she could, but..."

Ling Xi stroked her chin and smiled, "According to the timeline, she shouldn't have been born yet."

Otto, what should I do if I suddenly have the urge to call the police?

This guy... he's a beast!

"Moreover, before facing the Honkai God, we also have to face the Finality, and to defeat the Finality..."

Ling Xi smiled again, "Besides her power, we also need the power of thirteen Herrscher Core. Otherwise, even if we meet the Honkai God, we won't have the right to make any demands on it, because in the eyes of the god, we..."

"Not even ants!"

Ling Xi did not tell Otto about Seele's situation because, based on her understanding of Otto, if Otto knew Seele, he would most likely cause trouble. What if Otto secretly brought Seele back to Schicksal? Wouldn't that be deliberately making trouble for herself?

So, despite the deal, I've already told Otto how to save Kallen, and there are three methods in total!

Whether Otto can do it or not is his business.

And...

To achieve the third method, one must collect all thirteen Herrscher Core. Before that, if Otto doesn't intend to carry out any other plans, he can only wait!

Although Ling Xi also felt that Otto, that scoundrel, was unlikely to wait patiently.

"Thirteen Herrscher Core...?"

Otto pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and smiled, "Ling Xi, have you... considered further cooperation with Schicksal?"

"Cooperation... Heh, well, if things really go that smoothly, cooperation isn't necessarily a bad thing..."

After leaving Otto's residence, Ling Xi pondered Otto's words. She had to admit that Ling Xi was somewhat tempted. After all, as long as she could grasp the Schicksal, even if not completely, with her current power and her relationship with Ein, integrating the Schicksal and Anti-Entropy would not be a problem.

In this way, modern civilization would essentially become as highly unified as Previous Era.

However, there will obviously be a lot of trouble and resistance during this period, and...

Is complete unification really a good thing? In the Previous Era, precisely because humanity was highly unified, there was no external pressure. Although human technology for daily life progressed rapidly, weapon technology stagnated for a long time!

Later, it was only with the help of their own Doctor, along with May and Vill-V, one of the war gods of Twilight Street, that humanity's weapon level was barely raised, but the main reason was the pressure from the Honkai.

Furthermore, even if the world were unified, they wouldn't have the capacity to manage it effectively. And if they were to relinquish this position to someone else, it could easily lead to problems similar to those of Previous Era, like the issues between the Sixth Herrscher and Seventh Herrscher. So...

Before the Doctor and the others woke up, Ling Xi still hoped that the world would remain in its current state of polarization, because only competition can lead to development, right?

Therefore, even if Ling Xi is interested in Otto's proposal, right now... it might not be the best option!

"Huh? A little kid?"

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of Ling Xi and said with some doubt, "Why are there still children running around in headquarters so late?"

"Um?"

Stopped abruptly, Ling Xi looked up in confusion, and then...

"Mother-in-law?"

Ling Xi reflexively uttered that name...

"Mother in law?"

Clearly, the person standing in front of Ling Xi was Cecilia. However, after hearing how Ling Xi addressed her, she was speechless for a moment, but still smiled and said, "Little friend, my daughter is only a little over a year old. It seems a bit early for you to call her 'mother-in-law'?"

"Uh... no, no, you misheard me, I called her Lady Cecilia!"

Ling Xi quickly corrected herself, feeling somewhat speechless. Damn it, she had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she subconsciously called Cecilia that ridiculous name when she saw Cecilia. Oh well, it's just become a habit after all these years.

"Hehe..."

Cecilia simply smiled at this, but whether she believed Ling Xi's story was another matter entirely.

"Hmm? Little friend, are you... Ling Xi?"

Although Cecilia was on vacation, she still knew information about Sirin and the people around Sirin, so she seemed to recognize Ling Xi as well.

"Yes, that's right."

Seeing this, Ling Xi didn't hide anything and smiled, "I am Ling Xi, the Ling Xi who is next to Sirin."

"It really was you..."

Cecilia nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "What are you doing out so late?"

"Um... just taking a walk."

Ling Xi didn't plan to say too much to Cecilia. Although her mother-in-law was a very nice person, she wasn't one of his own.

"Is that so..."

Seeing this, Cecilia didn't ask any further questions, but simply smiled and said, "Then, Ling Xi, would you like to come to my house for a while?"

"Ha?"

Ling Xi was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding what the other person was saying.

"I was saying, why don't you come over to my house for a bit, and..."

Cecilia looked at Ling Xi with a smile and deliberately said, "Don't you want to meet your future girlfriend?"

Ling Xi: "???"

"Ha?"

Ling Xi was completely dumbfounded. What girlfriend? I'm not Cao Cao!

However, Ling Xi immediately realized that her mother-in-law was talking about... Kiana?

Yes, it's the real Kiana!

Ling Xi: "..." It's okay, I was wrong just now...

Chapter 633 First Encounter with Kiana!

In the end, Ling Xi was taken home by Cecilia. Of course, Ling Xi was not doing it for Kiana, but rather to take the opportunity to get to know Cecilia. After all, during the entire Second Honkai War, when Sirin was at odds with everyone, only Cecilia could find the kindness in Sirin's heart!

Although, in the end, they were all wiped out by the treacherous Otto!

No, what if thinking about this makes me suddenly want to beat him up again?

However, after thinking about it, I decided to let it go for now. If I beat him up now, there would be no point in discussing cooperation. So I decided to put up with it for now and wait until I seized power and became the Bishop of Schicksal before assigning Otto to sell cuckoldry.

Lost in thought, Ling Xi had already arrived home with Cecilia.

Hmm, my mother-in-law's house doesn't seem to be very luxurious. It's just a fairly ordinary 180-square-meter apartment. Moreover, as a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie, Cecilia only has her family of three at home. They don't even have a housekeeper to clean the house. She does all the housework herself.

Perhaps this is the kind of life she prefers.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

When Cecilia got home, a little girl came over and happily jumped onto her lap, calling her "Mommy."

"Kiana, be good!"

Cecilia gently picked Kiana up.

Ling Xi. This little girl... is only one year old now!

Although it's normal for a one-year-old to be able to walk, but...

This girl can even speak so fluently now. I can only say... she truly deserves to be called Zhenqi. She's been so outstanding since she was a child.

"By the way, are you comfortable leaving Kiana home alone?"

At this moment, Ling Xi also thought of this problem. Siegfried is still in Siberia, and Cecilia seems to have gone out just now, so is Kiana the only one at home?

This little girl is only one year old. How can I leave her home alone?
