Chapter 115

Achoo!

Otto, far away on a deserted island in the south, suddenly sneezed.

"Otto... please take care of your health."

"I am," said Amber, the adjutant standing to the side in a white one-piece swimsuit, worriedly. She hurriedly stepped forward and handed a towel to Otto, who was wearing brightly colored beach shorts.

"Thanks, but no need. It's probably my lovely K422 cursing me."

Otto stretched and enjoyed his vacation on the deserted island in the south, surrounded by beaches, blue skies, white clouds, and bright sunshine.

No one knew that this uninhabited island in the south belonged to Otto.

He did indeed take a vacation.

However, only one of his avatars was on vacation; his real body was still researching the technology to resurrect Kallen in a place unknown to anyone.

"Amber, want to play beach volleyball?"

"Otto, is it really appropriate to hand over the Schicksal to Lord K422 and Lady Theresa?"

Amber, Otto's adjutant, said with concern.

After all, while those two individuals were exceptionally capable, they were not politically astute and were far too young.

"Don't worry, according to the intelligence I've received, my lovely K422 has already cooperated with Anti-Entropy, and the Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy is currently at the Schicksal Headquarters."

If a trap is set at this point, it should cause trouble for Welt.

But Otto isn't enthusiastic about that kind of plan now.

For him, reviving Kallen was the most important plan.

However, it is still uncertain whether K422 can master the full power of the Herrscher of Death, and the most crucial point is the concept of the soul.

If it's just a simple matter of cloning and transplanting memories, Otto could also do that with his technology.

But the androids created that way were not the Kallen he wanted.

"I wonder if the old fogies in the Senate will get greedy if I deliberately transfer the position of Grand Bishop. I'm worried that I taught them too harsh a lesson back then."

Although they were all underlings who fought alongside the three major families, Otto considered the other two families as mere tools. Why would Otto care about the families of his underlings?

When families like the Cavendish formed a Senate in an attempt to divide his power, their second and third generation heirs suffered various mishaps.

Of course, Otto wouldn't do it himself.

He absolutely did not want to get his hands dirty unless absolutely necessary.

However, the Schicksal has always been a target of suspicion. Just revealing their identities and letting them carry some technical data would be enough to attract attacks from madmen.

"I just don't know how my lovely K422 will handle this. Welt is too kind-hearted after all. To deal with those old guys, you have to be ruthless."

Otto was quite pleased with the K422's performance.

While she was deploying her secret forces, Otto was observing her plans from a distance.

Watching K422 personally send Kiana to a new prison for Kiana safety.

"Hehe, if something unexpected happens to Kiana, I wonder if my lovely K422 will choose the same path as me in order to revive her. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Otto, that kind of laughter is very tasteless."

"Ahem, I'm really sorry, I'm just a little too happy. After all, you see, this place doesn't have that K422 who's always trying to pick on me, nor does it have Theresa's always giving me resentful looks..."

Otto walked to the beach with his arms outstretched, as if welcoming the oncoming waves.

Then it was slammed onto the beach by the waves.

"..."

Amber stood gracefully to the side, suddenly at a loss for words upon seeing this scene.

Should I help Otto up, or not?

If Otto intentionally wants to lie on the beach, will I spoil his fun?

"Otto? Do you need me to help you up?"

"No need, I think it's fine this way."

Otto, lying silently on the beach, naturally had no intention of killing the real Kiana; doing so would be too wasteful.

Only a living Kiana can restrain K422, who possesses the power of six Herrscher.

Otto eagerly anticipates K422's growth, wishing time could be accelerated immediately. Perhaps when K422's power fully matures, the abilities of the six Herrscher will resonate, potentially even reaching a higher-dimensional world.

That's right.

If the higher-dimensional world where God resides is called Heaven.

The Herrscher are created by the influence of the consciousness cast down from higher dimensions by gods or the Honkai.

In other words, the power of Herrscher is capable of reaching higher dimensions and ascending to Heaven.

Otto clearly remembered seeing the Honkai Consciousness within the consciousness of the Second Herrscher, Sirin.

Humans are nothing but insignificant ants compared to the Honkai Consciousness, and the so-called gods also represent the truth. It's just a pity that he couldn't withstand the onslaught of knowledge at that time, and Sirin also broke free from Feather of Dust's brainwashing.

Otherwise... the truth God gave him contained the technique to resurrect Kallen.

The Herrscher is also called the apostle of Honkai, or the Apostle of God.

If the power of six Herrscher is not enough, then the remaining seven Herrscher can be mixed in, or the power of the Herrscher of Finality can also be mixed in.

Otto believed that his unique clone, K422, could withstand these forces.

She is special.

That's precisely why we need more training.

Of course, Otto wouldn't place his hopes for reviving Kallen on K422 just because K422 is special.

Just as he expected the complete Herrscher of Death abilities.

If even a complete Herrscher of Death cannot revive Kallen, then the only option is to gather the power of all the Herrscher and reach a higher dimension.

"We should definitely find the other Divine Key first..."

Unfortunately, there are very few clues about the Divine Key. Sometimes, just when you find a clue and discover the ruins where the Divine Key is kept, the Divine Key has already been taken by someone else.

Otto deliberately designed a scheme to lure Anti-Entropy and lure World Serpent, and also wiped out a large number of small organizations, all in order to find the relics in the ruins from the enemy's stronghold.

Many Previous Civilization weapons known as relics are only slightly less powerful than the Divine Key.

Of course, the true power of the Divine Key is never its physical strength, but rather the Divine Key Herrscher Core within it.

With its body made of Soul Steel, Divine Key Divine Key itself, which contains the Herrscher Core, can be seen as an external Herrscher Core, or an external Herrscher.

Otto naturally planned to take advantage of this vacation to explore the ruins.

He was also looking forward to discovering something from the ruins of the several targets, but before that, he naturally planned to enjoy a pleasant vacation on the uninhabited island in the south!

Otto climbed up from the beach, ran towards the sea, and then jumped into the water with great joy.

Then a large wave crashed in, knocking Otto over as he gracefully jumped into the sea.

Watching Otto being washed ashore by the waves, Amber looked troubled. Although she had intended to relax, her overly tense mind made it impossible for her to think clearly.

Sometimes he acts silly or sometimes he plays games, always making reactions that leave Amber bewildered.

Unlike the A310 individual, Amber, as a clone of the A-Series, already had very calm emotional fluctuations, and after her body was modified into a prosthetic body, her emotional fluctuations became even calmer.

But deep down, he still admired Otto.

So what can the Creator do if she suddenly acts foolish?

124. A sudden silence fell.

Otto is on vacation on a deserted island in the south, but that doesn't mean he's oblivious to current events in the world.

K422 once again traveled to the Russian region to continue the previous Saintess Parade.

The Schicksal was controlled by the newly formed staff team and Theresa. As for the Senate, which was willing to provide management talent, Otto was glad that K422 did not restart the Senate or use the talent introduced by the Senate.

"Even if Welt were in charge, he'd be better off than those greedy scoundrels... Come to think of it, we've really come full circle back to this point—"

Otto couldn't help but sigh.

He once wanted to hand over the position of Grand Bishop to someone he could trust, in order to focus on his plan to revive Kallen.

The person he chose was the First Herrscher Welt Joyce.

Joyce, who is just an ordinary person except for her identity First Herrscher, has the talent to unite all kinds of geniuses around her and the ability to get along with people with very distinct personalities, making her very suitable for the position of Grand Bishop of Schicksal.

Not being disliked is a remarkable skill in itself.

Otto admired the excellent qualities of others and also acknowledged that some people were more suitable to be Grand Bishop than himself.

Unfortunately, Joyce, who possessed the admirable qualities he admired, stood on the opposite side of him and became a stumbling block to his plans.

Even if Otto regrets it, he can only crush such a stumbling block.

But now the Schicksal is still in Welt's hands. Although he is Joyce's successor, Welt II, this fate makes Otto sigh, how ironic fate is in a world filled with Honkai.

"It's true what they say, 'The willows you planted unintentionally thrive, but the flowers you tried to plant didn't bloom...'" Otto couldn't help but want to confide in someone about his exhaustion.

He knew very well that he was not suited to be Grand Bishop.

If it weren't for the need to exploit the Schicksal, he would still be willing to be the inventor Kallen described.

Otto's wish was always to be an inventor for Kallen.

"... Alright, that's enough fun for a day. Time to get back to work."

Otto transferred part of his consciousness back into another body and began to control this clone to move forward according to the pre-set instructions.

The Endless Library in the First Divine Key has so much knowledge for him to learn.

"Amber, proceed as planned."

"Yes, my Otto."

Amber, wearing a white one-piece swimsuit, bowed.

The A-Series clones are very similar to Kallen in every way. Unfortunately, among the three batches of clones he created, only A310 Theresa showed any special characteristics.

Perhaps because of Theresa's precedent, it wasn't too surprising to learn that K422 possessed self-awareness; after all, with the number of experimental subjects, any accident could happen.

Theresa, who seems to possess Kallen's soul, is more like Kallen herself.

If he and Kallen had a daughter, they might name her Theresa Apocalypse.

"Step back, Amber."

"Yes, sir... Otto."

Watching the departing figure, Otto sighed deeply.

Unfortunately, his destiny of marrying Kallen was shattered by a street speech.

"Or perhaps it began when the Eastern Expedition started from the time of Schicksal's Mandate..."

Otto shook his head, pondering the possibility of finding Kallen's soul in a parallel universe.

Or perhaps by changing a past decision, one can change that skewed fate.

"Forget it, given Kallen's personality, she'll find out what I did sooner or later... In the end, it won't make any difference."

Otto did consider stopping Kallen from leaving.

However, the two, whose ideologies had diverged, would ultimately choose to separate.

Even without Yae Sakura, you might encounter Yae Kasumi or Kokonoe Sakura.

"Let's adjust this body first. A child's body shouldn't be associated with Otto Apocalypse."

Having made his decision, Otto returned to the laboratory on the deserted island.

Yes, Otto's secret laboratory also exists on this uninhabited island in the south.

At the same time, a large number of A-Series clones are frozen and stored here. These experimental subjects, which are the same as but different from Theresa, still provide Otto with a lot of cloning experience.

Upon arriving on land from the Escort Ship Floating Battleship, K422 naturally greeted the Valkyrie stationed in Russia first.
