Chapter 375

"After Kallen becomes a bishop, you two will probably become very close. After all, compared to me, a bishop who has committed many evils, Kallen is more likable no matter how you look at it."

"I fooled your life, destroyed your family, and kept you completely in the dark. Sometimes I think I'm a truly heinous sinner."

"K423, no, I should call you Kiana Kaslana."

"This time, I did not harm you, I did not kill your dear teacher, and I did not destroy your beautiful life. On the contrary, I gave you life and I gave you a future."

"Of course, I don't want your gratitude. You sent me to this other side of the Imaginary, fulfilled my miracle and long-cherished wish, and gave meaning to my life. I just want to say, we're even."

"The Flame-Chasers Deliverance acknowledged your bloodline. From now on, you can truly live in this world as Kiana Kaslana. Congratulations."

The existence of Imaginary is just a stone's throw away.

Kevin eagerly reached out, his battered hand pressing against the tree's roots.

The mandatory corrective force of the Imaginary Law is at work at this moment.

"Everything went even more smoothly than I expected. Emotions truly are a force that can create miracles. The Herrscher of the Void's emotions can reverse the Imaginary Law in an instant, and so can my emotions."

Otto smiled faintly, he had never been so happy.

"Theresa, haven't you always asked me why we struggle so much against the Honkai, while the Flame-Chasers have it so easy? Actually, the answer has always been right in front of us, but most people just don't dare to believe it."

"I told you before that we lack advanced industry, we lack understanding of the Honkai, and we lack a unified organization. But these are just objective things. Flame-Chasers can do it, we can do it too."

"What we truly lack is the pain of experiencing the Honkai, the price humanity pays for ignoring Honkai."

"Since the Second Honkai War, humanity is no longer as united as it once was; it has fragmented and operates independently. The awakening of this Thousand-Man Herrscher has exposed all these problems."

"Although Kevin is powerful, he is on the verge of death and his strength is already less than one-tenth of what it once was. The Thousand-Man Herrscher is also full of weaknesses. If all of humanity works together, we will surely find a way to defeat her."

"The reason we suffered such heavy losses is simply because we never forged an unbreakable bond."

"And now, I've solved this problem for you. I'm a Villain, so I'll use Villain methods, at the cost of four cities, to make everyone realize the power of the Herrscher. After this incident, an organization similar to the Fire Moth will inevitably emerge—that will be Schicksal."

"I forced Kevin to his death, and the World Serpent ceased to be a threat. Anti-Entropy is part of Schicksal. If Kallen becomes the bishop, Welt will definitely be willing to return with his old followers."

"Imagine what a wonderful world that would be! And the price would be nothing more than the fall of a Villain and the awakening of a saint."

"Kallen, will you like this gift?"

Convergence leads to omissions, gaps appear in history, and the Imaginary Law will correct the world.

The first thing to correct now is Otto's [mistake].

Chapter 608 Who is the Archbishop of Schicksal?

[Congratulations Kevin on joining Death Space!]

A flash of white light, and a white-haired man entered the Death Space. He opened his eyes, and his former colleagues were already gathered around him, waiting.

Kevin: "I'm back."

In the name of Deliverance, Kevin returns to the embrace of the Flame-Chasers at this moment, announcing the failure of the Stigmata Project and his return.

Pardofelis: "Waaaaah, Boss Kevin, you're finally back! You have no idea how much we missed you! Canned Food has gotten so thin from hunger!"

Canned Food: "Meow?"

Kevin glanced at the fat cat at his feet.

Although it seemed particularly strange for this cat to intrude into Flame-Chasers's large family, since it was Pardofelis's companion, there was no need to worry about this detail.

Sue: "Kevin, welcome back."

Apponia: "Kevin, I knew you'd come back."

Sakura: "Apponia, you've used your ability to glimpse fate again?"

Apponia: "No, I just know him very well, I know Kevin feels guilty, and I know how lonely he is."

A person's character determines their destiny.

Apponia knew Kevin would return one day. The Current Era held no appeal for him. The moment the Flame-Chasers announced their abandonment of the Stigmata Project, Kevin became truly alone.

Apponia was also surprised that Kevin would so decisively abandon the Stigmata Project.

Cosmo: "Kevin, you've changed a lot."

Her voice changed, her eyes changed, and she gave off a completely different feeling than before.

Elysia: "I knew it! I was surprised when I first met Kevin. He's so different from before. The sunny boy has completely turned into an ice block."

Kevin: "..."

Pardofelis: "Hey! Never mind that. Fifty Thousand Years have passed, it's inevitable that Boss Kevin has changed a bit. Come on, I specially prepared a cake for this day, let's cut it up and eat!"

Canned Food: "Meow!"

Pardofelis: "Hey, Canned Food, don't eat it all! This is cake for Boss Kevin!"

Seeing the Canned Food dart off towards the store, Pardofelis quickly gave chase.

Danzhu: "Cake! Where's the cake? I want one too!"

Cang Xuan: "It's more lively with more people, so take us with you!"

Danzhu: "It's a pity the immortal isn't here."

As soon as he said that, Danzhu regretted it.

Chi Yuan definitely wants to return to the embrace of the Flame-Chasers, but she has reasons that force her to stay in the past. Isn't she just rubbing salt into Fu Hua's wounds?

Fu Hua: "It's alright. All living beings have their own destiny and their own paths to walk. The past is but a passing phase; the path beneath my feet is the path I must walk."

She and Kevin are ultimately different.

Kevin has no attachment to this era. With people of the later era rejecting him and Flame-Chasers abandoning the Stigmata Project, Kevin can give up his life without hesitation.

But Fu Hua has a mission to stay here.

Elysia: "It's good that Huaneng understands. After all, you are the Signet of Vicissitude, and what you bear is different from Kevin's."

Raven: "Oh ho, it seems the Flame-Chasers are quite happy. It's a pity that one of our poets is destined to have a sleepless night."

It's easy to guess; the person the Raven was referring to was the Gray Serpent.

Without Kevin overseeing the project, the execution of Stigmata Project is extremely precarious, and the chances of its completion are virtually zero.

Kevin: "The Gray Serpent possesses a summoning item that can recreate my power. Stigmata Project, I have still preserved Kindling Project for you."

Gray Serpent: "Your will."

Kevin is dead, but Otto is dead too!

Jackal: "That's true, but it's clear that the Stigmata Project has encountered unprecedented obstacles."

Without a supreme leader, the Stigmata Project has lost its [god]. How can an organization with only faith possibly shake the colossus that is Schicksal?

Gray Serpent: "I'm preparing to enter the Sea of Quanta to explore new possibilities for the Stigmata Project."

Raven: "Huh? Gray Serpent, you still haven't given up your wicked intentions?"

Is this what you call a fanatic? Even after Kevin's death, he refused to give up the Stigmata Project.

Gray Serpent: "Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. Bishop Otto can bring about a miracle for this world, and although I am not very knowledgeable, I would like to give it a try."

Mobius: "A miracle? Gray Serpent, you're really overestimating yourself. Do you even know what that bishop did?"

Gray Serpent: "That's why I call it a miracle. Changing the timeline, revising history—such a magnificent and vast miracle would be a brilliant feat in any era."

Theresa: "Why do the people of World Serpent also know what Otto did?"

That's really strange.

They learned from Kiana that Otto wanted to revive Kallen to correct the world line, but they had no idea what correcting the world line meant.

Why do people from the World Serpent know more than they do?

Amber: "I had the scientists at Schicksal Headquarters analyze the impact of the corrected world line, but Schicksal's research on the Imaginary Tree is all in the hands of Bishop Otto, and the current researchers have not made any effective progress."

Durandal: "So, there's been absolutely no progress?"

Durandal sighed; she was aware of Schicksal's situation.

If you were to capture outstanding Valkyrie, you'd find plenty in Schicksal; they could all be rising stars, noble individuals who fight for all that is good.

However, if we're looking for outstanding scientists who have made significant contributions over time, then we're facing a bit of a shortage of talent.

Tesla: "Mophead, isn't time management your forte? Show these Valkyrie of Schicksal our Anti-Entropy!"

Einstein: "Through Kiana's three fundamental laws of Imaginary, I combined them with my original view of time and have now arrived at a theory."

Durandal: "Tell me about it."

Einstein: "Conservation of mass."

Kiana: "Huh?"

Is this what you call professionalism? Why bring up the law of conservation of mass?

You must be a fake Einstein!

Einstein: "It's not a conservation of mass in the sense of penetration, but rather on a historical timeline. For example, with the Convergence the Bishop Otto, the position of Otto was vacant for five hundred years, and Kallen filled the vacancy."

Einstein: "But Otto's importance on the world line is different from Kallen's; this difference in quality will cause changes in history, that is, time correction."

Kiana: "Oh, so this is the interesting thing Otto told me about. But why don't I feel anything about it?"

A shift in the world line should be a momentous, earth-shattering event, so why is there no reaction at all?

Einstein: "Of course there is! I'm asking you, who is the Bishop of Schicksal?"

Amber: "Of course it's Bishop Kallen! Why...?!"

The words slipped out of his mouth, leaving Amber completely bewildered.

What's going on? The Archbishop of Schicksal is clearly Kallen, no, how did it become Kallen?!

The Valkyrie of Schicksal were equally bewildered. They asked themselves honestly and found that they also genuinely believed Kallen was the Archbishop of Schicksal.

But this doesn't match their memories at all!

Durandal: "What's going on?"

Einstein: "This is time correction, and not only that, the corrected time will conflict with our original memory, but it is forcibly rationalized by the laws of Imaginary."

Einstein: "Not only Kallen, but someone who is dead in our memory could come back to life to fill Otto's void."

Tesla: "This... this is not scientific!"

Damn! Otto has already reversed time and manipulated the Imaginary Tree, what science are they still talking about?

Otto's sense of time was long ago thrown in the trash and stomped on several times.

Amber: "If that's the case... wait, I'll go check!"

Amber rushed to Bishop Otto's office, opened the door, and was surprised to find Kallen taking a nap on the table.

[Congratulations to Kallen Kaslana for joining the Chat Group.]

Kallen: "Huh! What is that?"

Kallen, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened.

She rubbed her eyes, the drowsy feeling from her pajamas gradually disappearing, and as she regained consciousness, her eyes suddenly widened.

Wait, aren't I on the execution ground?

No, something doesn't seem right. She is the Archbishop of Schicksal, and this is five hundred years in the future. I have never died.

Two completely different memories intertwined in Kallen's mind, further exacerbating her already not-so-bright brain, leaving her completely bewildered.

Kallen: "What exactly is going on, Amber? Explain this to me."

Wait, who is Amber?

Amber:"..."

Durandal: "Never mind, Amber, let me explain."

Kallen: "Anyone will do, my mind is a bit of a mess. Durandal, the Strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal..."
