Chapter 376

Wait, who is Durandal?

Okay, Kallen's brain has completely fried, so she's chosen to shut down on the spot.

Kiana: "What's going on? Where's Otto? How did the Bishop of Schicksal turn into Kallen?"

Raiden Mei: "This must be the corrective force that Dr. Einstein mentioned. It's truly unbelievable. Can Bishop Otto really do something like this?"

Einstein: "To be precise, this is the effect of the Imaginary mechanism, and Otto, by using himself as a bargaining chip, pried open a corner of the Imaginary."

Everyone was speechless.

Fine, Otto, you're awesome, now it's your turn to be willful.

Kallen: "Um, can someone help me explain this?"

Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, Kallen raised her hand to make herself known.

Einstein: "Bishop Kallen, first clarify your thoughts. The corrective force merely reversed a point in history; it shouldn't have disrupted your thinking."

Kallen: "Okay, okay."

Kallen focused her attention, and her mind began to work.

She should have died five hundred years ago; this part of her memory ends here.

Then she was the Archbishop of Schicksal. This part of her memory was strange; she had impressions of those events, but felt as if she had never experienced them at all.

Kallen: "So, the other part of the memory belongs to Otto?"

Even though it seemed absurd, Kallen had to believe that Otto had indeed lived for five hundred years.

Moreover, in order to revive himself, he did many outrageous things. Well... it's wrong to do evil. When Otto comes back, she'll have to give him a good talking-to.

Amber: "It seems you understand now. Bishop Otto manipulated the timeline, sacrificing his life to bring you back to life."

Kallen: "What?!"

--Splash!

Glass shattered on the floor, Kallen stood up excitedly.

Kallen: "You mean, Otto sacrificed his life for me five hundred years ago?"

How is that even possible?

Kallen couldn't believe it, but subconsciously she felt it was true; in the other half of her memory, Otto was indeed the kind of person capable of doing such a thing.

Theresa: "Well, although we don't know how Grandpa did it, that's how it happened."

Kallen: "How could this be... Otto."

Otto, why did you go to such lengths?

The Archbishop of Schicksal, the most esteemed man in the world, actually reversed time and used his own life to bring back someone who died five hundred years ago.

Kallen had absolutely no idea she was that important.

It felt as if a stone was stuck in her heart. Kallen wanted to ask Otto why he had done this, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

Wait a minute, Kallen looked at Theresa and suddenly realized something.

Kallen: "Wait, what did you just call Otto?"

Theresa: "Call him Grandpa."

Kallen: "Otto's granddaughter?"

Otto, now that you already have a family, why risk everything for her?

Now that you're gone, the Apocalypse Family is left with only Theresa, all alone. She's such a young child, what will become of her?!

Kallen: "Don't worry, Theresa. Otto abandoned you, but I'll take care of you like my own daughter from now on. I won't let you suffer. Otto must have thought of that before he left; I'll take care of his underage granddaughter."

Theresa: "Un-minor?"

The headmaster stared blankly, as if a string in his mind had snapped.

Tesla: "Hahaha, Theresa, you're so old and you're still pretending to be young, hahaha."

Theresa: "No! It's a misunderstanding! I'm a clone, my body has been stuck at twelve years old, what can I do?!"

Kallen: "A clone?"

I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the modern term "Kallen," and it will take a long time to process the other half of my memory of it.

Kallen: "It's alright, as long as you understand what I mean, Theresa."

Theresa: "Lady Kallen, now that you've inherited my grandfather's bishopric, what are your plans now?"

Kallen: "Of course, I want to create the world Otto wanted me to create, unify the world, and fight against the Honkai!"

Kiana: "Oh! Great! We Valkyrie are the best at fighting Honkai! I fully support Kallen becoming the Bishop!"

Amber: "Since it's Bishop Otto's decision, I unconditionally support Lady Kallen."

What can be done? Otto is gone, and now the whole world believes that Kallen is the Bishop of Schicksal.

Moreover, Kallen can devote herself wholeheartedly to the great cause of fighting the Honkai. With the appeal of a saintess and bishop, she will surely be able to restore Schicksal!

Kallen: "Thank you. Although I don't know what to do yet, once I've integrated the other half of the memories, I won't let everyone down."

There's one Kallen didn't mention.

Otto's memories contain knowledge about the Imaginary Tree, Kallen wants to know if Otto is truly dead.

Amber: "Now that Your Excellency has made up your mind, let's get to work."

@Modi6011Zhangxin's Herrscher

Kallen: "Huh? Work? What kind of work?"

Shouldn't a bishop's job be simply to control the situation and issue orders to his subordinates? Why does she need to do any work?

Amber: "Your Excellency, the destruction caused by the Thousand-Man Herrscher has resulted in the fall of four cities and the spread of Honkai Energy. Urban reconstruction is an extremely large undertaking."

Amber: "There's also the post-disaster relief and the need for the Mandate of Schicksal to demonstrate its authority to all sides; these all require detailed arrangements."

Kallen: "But I... I can't!"

Heaven pities her! She's just the youngest daughter of the Kaslana family. It's fine to send her to the battlefield with the Oath of Judas, but she has absolutely no experience in being a bishop!

Amber: "Otto isn't here, so I'm in charge of these things. Since you're unwilling, I'll do it for you."

Kallen: "Thank you for your help, Amber. I seem to remember something important... Wait, let me sort through Otto's memories first... Oh, right, there's an organization called Anti-Entropy. Otto thinks they should be returned to their Schicksal."

Raiden Mei: "Huh?"

The issues with Schicksal and the World Serpent have only just eased, and they're already preparing to take action against Anti-Entropy?

It seems this saintess is no ordinary person!

Tesla: "Impossible! Don't even think about it! We are sworn enemies with Otto!"

Einstein: "Calm down, Dr. Tesla, Otto is dead. The current Bishop of Schicksal is Saintess Kallen."

Tesla: "Tsk."

Yes, Otto is dead.

A review of the history of Anti-Entropy is essentially a history of the defection of the Schicksal North American Branch, with the main conflict being instigated by Otto.

With Kallen now in charge of the bishopric, a return to Anti-Entropy is not entirely impossible.

However, everything depends on Welt's arrangements.

Tesla: "Mophead, what were you thinking?"

Einstein: "Saint Kallen should be trustworthy; perhaps this is also part of Otto's calculations. But the fate of Anti-Entropy is still up to the Alliance Leader."

Welt is considering it.

The Schicksal branch already possesses autonomy, so whether Anti-Entropy reverts to becoming the Schicksal North American Branch makes little difference.

The key point is that the world is moving from division to unity.

Even without Otto, the members of Anti-Entropy can accept the new Archbishop, and Saintess Kallen's appeal is trustworthy.

Welt: "Anti-Entropy can return to the North American Branch, but internal affairs will still be handled by the members of Anti-Entropy; that's our condition."

It's not a difficult condition to accept.

From the perspective of Schicksal, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.

Amber frantically winked at Kallen, urging her to agree.

Kallen: "Okay! Let's do it that way."

Being a bishop is exhausting! Kallen wants to go home. The Valkyrie role seems much more suitable for her!

Otto, what are you really thinking?

Pardofelis: "Yay! It seems like a perfect development! Boss Kevin is back, Anti-Entropy and Schicksal are unified, double happiness, double happiness!"

Tesla: "And then there's Otto's good death, a triple celebration."

Kallen frowned, mentally adding a grudge against Tesla.

Welt: "Fighting the Honkai is so difficult, and Anti-Entropy isn't an organization that acts solely for its own benefit. As long as Schicksal doesn't go astray, Anti-Entropy will forever remain the North American Branch."

Vill-V: "Yes, fighting against the Honkai is difficult. Defeating a Herrscher is always accompanied by danger; it has always been so."

Pardofelis: "Sister Vill-V, something seems off about what you're saying."

Vill-V: "Hey, according to my calculations, the next Herrscher has already been born in our time."

Elysia: "No problem at all!"

She's just a mere Herrscher; even without Kevin's return, Elysia could easily suppress any enemy.

That's the confidence of the Herrscher of Origin!

Vill-V: "Be careful. Honkai is a mechanism; when humanity becomes powerful, Honkai naturally becomes more powerful. This time it won't be as easy as it was with Himiko last time, Elysia."

Elysia: "Vill-V, what did you figure out?"

Vill-V: "Perhaps, another special Herrscher has been born. Like the Herrscher of Binding, she possesses extremely strong targeted abilities."

This is the experience of Previous Era.

After each Herrscher is executed, the abilities of the next Herrscher become extremely targeted, making them impossible for humans to defend against.

This applies to the Herrscher of Reason, the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the Herrscher of Binding, and the Herrscher of Corruption.

Kevin: "Can I go this time?"

Elysia: "It's alright, leave it to me."

[Elysia uses Life Coin.]

The Fire Moth Base.

As soon as Elysia opened the hatch and entered the office, May had already arranged everything for her, placing a stack of documents on her desk.

"Mei, what's this?" Elysia pointed to the document.

Mei adjusted her glasses. "It's due to recent anomalies in Honkai Energy. Preliminary analysis suggests that Herrscher has been born, and judging from the scale of the Honkai Energy, it's no weaker than previous Herrscher."

"Only stronger, never weaker."

Elysia lowered her head in thought.

It's not something hard to accept. By now, they've seen so many Herrscher of the Current Era have accumulated even more, with a six-core Herrscher of the Void appearing.

Small-scale, small-scale.

Elysia wasn't worried at all.

Elysia flipped through the documents. "May, do you think there are any discrepancies between this Herrscher and the Herrscher files I gave you?"

Elysia has already passed on the knowledge of the Previous Era to May, and she also knows information about the fourteen Herrscher.

Vill-V had warned Elysia that the Herrscher appearing this time might be different from those before, and Elysia had to be cautious.

Mei pointed to the data on the document. "According to the available information, this Herrscher's Honkai Energy is about twice that of the Flame Herrscher, and it is still rising. There is a cold front affecting her area."

"This Herrscher's characteristics are similar to those of the Herrscher of Ice, but the Herrscher of Ice's Honkai Energy not possibly be twice that of the Flame Herrscher. I have reason to suspect that this Herrscher possesses more than one Herrscher Core."
