Li Sushang, 〈Master actually neutralized the Blade of Taixuan. As expected, defeating Master is still far too difficult.〉
Kiana, 〈Oh-ho! Squad leader won! Squad leader tanked the Blade of Taixuan!〉
----------------------------------
[On the other side, Kiana☆ finally arrived at the church and saw Otto, who had been waiting for a long time.
And the Abyss Flower that was supposed to reappear in Durandal's hands was, for some reason, in Otto's grasp, while its owner was nowhere to be found.]
Rita, full of doubt, looked at the Abyss Flower in Otto's hand, her heart brimming with questions, and blurted out, 〈Isn't that Lady Durandal's Abyss Flower? Why is it in Lord Otto's hand?〉
Hearing Rita's words, Durandal also asked in confusion, 〈Yeah, where am I?〉
[Magical Girl]Theresa, 〈Grandpa, what did you do to Durandal? You'd better tell the truth!〉
Facing Theresa's questioning, Otto looked a little helpless, spread out his hands, and said with a bitter smile, 〈Theresa, if you ask me like that... I really can't answer. But what I can assure you is that I would never harm Bianca, she is my proudest student.〉
However, Fu Hua didn't seem to believe Otto's words much, and interjected, 〈That's not certain. What if Durandal disrupted your plan? After all, when I disrupted your plan, you didn't hesitate to put a bullet in my head.〉
Otto was stumped by Fu Hua's words, hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, 〈Ah~ Celestial Immortal, that really is a question I cannot refute.〉
Otto then came back to himself, and with feigned mystery said, 〈Prejudice of the human heart is a great mountain. As for why I am holding the Abyss Flower, I think, the answer will be revealed soon enough, won't it?〉
[The scene changed again, revealing Otto's figure, and beside him, a golden cube floated quietly, that was the Void Archives God Key.
At this moment, Otto's consciousness seemed to be completely immersed in the boundless void.
His thoughts traveled through time, returning to that distant morning, his first encounter with Kallen Kaslana.
Young Otto stood in the courtyard, gazing at the figure climbing over the wall, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
As Otto was lost in memory, a voice identical to his own, yet subtly different, suddenly spoke.
"How rare, you're actually reminiscing about your childhood. Are you feeling unwilling to accept your destined death?"
Otto chuckled softly and replied to the Void Archives' doubt, "Haha, you really know how to joke, Void Archives. Didn't I just say it to Theresa and the others?"
"I go to death willingly, and willingly I die. This is nothing more than a belated five-hundred-year end-of-the-road carnival."
The Void Archives fell silent for a moment, seemingly contemplating Otto's words. Then, it continued, "...In my view, you're merely using this way to mask your own tension and fear."
Otto shrugged slightly, the gesture carrying a touch of ease and a hint of helplessness, and sighed, "Perhaps. I do feel nervous, and I do feel fear, after all, my life has been long enough, and seeing the finish line naturally puts one in good spirits."
The Void Archives' voice sounded again, probing, "...Do you not hope for more?"
Otto chuckled again, his smile carrying a bit of openness, and he countered, "Why not, if it's only 'hope'."
Then, Otto restrained his smile, his expression becoming serious and focused, and extended an invitation to the Void Archives, "But you must also understand, Void Archives, the truly impossible things are those that were destined to be impossible from the start."
"If you are interested in that... then why not accompany me, old friend, on a journey into the depths of memory?"
"Before inevitable conflict arises between us and the others, there should still be time."]
Fu Lin said sadly, "Five hundred years... the Void Archives was trampled by Otto like this, forcibly molded into his image, unable to ever return to what it once was!"
Hearing this, Elysia sighed softly, 〈Ah~ poor Prometheus～?〉
Otto, however, replied indifferently, 〈Well, I really must apologize for that～ If it behaved itself, I wouldn't have had to guard against it and trap it inside my body for five hundred years.〉
The Void Archives, seemingly impatient with their conversation, couldn't help but interject, 〈Your chatter is a bit much.〉
Seeing this, Fu Lin looked surprised and said, "So you're in the livestream chat? To endure for so long without speaking, that's impressive!"
The Void Archives only responded faintly, 〈Heh...〉
At this moment, Theresa suddenly asked in shock, 〈Grandpa, what did the Void Archives do that made you trap it for five hundred years?〉
[Miss Lily]Otto nodded and explained, 〈It was always thinking of stealing Grandpa's body.〉
Kallen, hearing this, 〈So at my father's funeral, you were bewitched by it? Then you'd better be careful, Otto.〉
Otto answered with full confidence, 〈Don't worry, Kallen. Since I could suppress it for five hundred years, I can suppress it for another five hundred.〉
The Void Archives, which once could see a future full of hope, suddenly broke down, 〈You b*******〉
Fu Shi, 〈Tsk tsk tsk, even Sun Wukong wasn't this miserable.〉
Einstein, 〈So, what's special about the Void Archives as a God Key?〉
Su, 〈The Void Archives' strength lies in its nearly infinite internal knowledge space, storing the knowledge collected by the Herrscher of Reason from the previous civilization. This knowledge survived thanks to the Herrscher's core and the unique properties of its powers.〉
Einstein, 〈I see. While we were still excavating the ruins of the previous civilization, Otto already held its most precious legacy.〉
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈Dr. Einstein, that's where you're mistaken. The Void Archives has never opened its true permissions to me. The deepest part of its library remains unexplored even now.〉
Void Archives, 〈I'm the one with the keys, do you have one?〉
Fu Shi, 〈@Otto I tell fortunes, what the hell do you do?〉
Otto was silent for a moment, then looked at the Void Archives in his hand, and the corner of his lips curved into a cold smile, "I can't deal with the Herrscher of Sentience, but I can't deal with you, Void Archives～?"
Void Archives, 〈Otto, you b***** let me go! B*****〉
Bronya, 〈So, what did the Void Archives originally look like?〉
Prometheus-1 (System), 〈Guess???〉
Bronya, 〈??? Why does Bronya feel a sense of familiarity?〉
Void Archives, 〈Hmm～? Number One? You and I are both avatars of Prometheus, call me onii-chan～〉
System, 〈Tainted by that bastard man, I will never acknowledge you. And why aren't you calling me onee-chan instead???〉
Void Archives, 〈???... you b*****〉
Fu Shi, 〈This is too funny, ahahahaha!!!〉
