[The scene shifted back to Novosibirsk. Orange goggles lay shattered on the ground. The black fog had corroded her arms. Just as Amber was about to collapse, a hand caught her shoulder.
"Lord Otto? Why are you..."
Amber looked at the newcomer in surprise.
Otto extended his right hand. A bright golden light shone in his palm. The golden light constantly merged and dispersed, quickly forming a replica of Abyss Flower. He used it to dispel the black fog for Amber, telling her to return to HQ to heal while he stayed behind to chat with the little Herrscher.
Otto dispelling the black fog with one hand startled the pseudo-Herrscher of Death. Combined with Otto's smiling-tiger demeanor, when he walked towards her, the little Herrscher actually took a step back subconsciously.
Otto seemed to be very good at coaxing little girls. He magically pulled out a Homu doll from behind his back, attracting the pseudo-Herrscher of Death's attention. But she couldn't fully control her powers. When her fingertips touched the doll, Honkai energy corroded it into black ash.
Taking advantage of the pseudo-Herrscher of Death's panic, Otto quickly moved behind her and covered her eyes with his hand. While constantly soothing her, he used the replica Fenghuang Down to control the little Herrscher's consciousness.]
"Abyss Flower and Fenghuang Down... Otto can use two Divine Keys at the same time?" Vill-V quickly dismissed her own thought. "No, the color didn't change. It looks like it's also a Divine Key, just one that can transform into other Divine Keys."
"Doesn't it look familiar?" MEI suddenly understood. "This Divine Key that Otto possesses is very similar to the Authority of the Herrscher of Reason, and Kevin's Might of An-Utu is very similar to the Herrscher of Flame. So, I suspect that each Divine Key represents a Herrscher's authority, am I right?"
MEI looked at Yàqīng. Yàqīng nodded helplessly.
"I knew it." MEI pushed up her glasses and continued, "A reasonable speculation would be that the Key of Sentience represents the authority of the Herrscher of Water, the Oath of Judah should be a detection-type authority, the Star of Eden is related to gravity, and Fenghuang Down is related to consciousness."
Mobius pouted disdainfully and silently leaned over the back of Yàqīng's chair.
"To think that even a Herrscher would fear Otto. What a terrifying man." Kevin hated the feeling of being manipulated, with the exception of MEI, so he didn't like people like that.
"But in a world like this, on the brink of annihilation by the Honkai, humanity cannot do without such a leader," Su said objectively.
"I know," Kevin said.
[Otto entered the pseudo-Herrscher of Death's consciousness. The First Divine Key, Void Archives, took the form of Otto's childhood self, only its exposed skin was pure black void, including a face with no features.
"Not bad, you entered her consciousness so easily..." Void Archives was puzzled about what kind of creature this person before it was. It clearly possessed the Herrscher of Death's ability to decompose everything, yet its power was less than half of the Herrscher of Death's.
Void Archives asked if, like before, it should explore her memories and act as her most intimate person.
"Unfortunately, not this time."
Otto had already used the replica Fenghuang Down to explore the pseudo-Herrscher of Death's memories. She was neither a Herrscher nor a human, just a puppet infused with Herrscher power, incapable of resurrecting Kallen.
At this thought, Otto's kind smile instantly vanished. His face turned ruthless as he plunged his hand through the pseudo-Herrscher's abdomen and forcibly ripped out the Herrscher core.
"Then I'll just have to study the Herrscher of Death's core myself and find a way to resurrect Kallen."
Otto looked at the Herrscher core he had crushed in his palm and realized this core was also a fake. Seeing the large white hand extending from the black hole, he understood that the real Herrscher of Death's core was still with Sirin.
"Hah, have you come to collect this puppet?"
Otto sneered. Void Archives once again transformed, this time into the Might of An-Utu. He combined the handles of the dual guns, and beneath the scorching flames was Otto's already ice-cold heart.
Otto severed the giant white hand with one slash, the blade pointing directly at the black hole. He declared war on Sirin. He looked at the lifeless body of the pseudo-Herrscher of Death.
"No one can stand in the way of my reunion with Kallen..."
"Not even God!"
At this moment, Otto was completely serious, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and indifference.]
"He's actually... a devoted lover?!" Welt Yang's eyes widened in disbelief. Just a moment ago, he was a major villain, and now he had transformed into a warrior fighting for love, declaring war on a god.
...
"Although I hate the Otto in the story, I have to admit, at this moment, he is truly cool!" Kevin said excitedly.
"I never thought Otto's combat power would be this terrifying. But..." MEI frowned, looking at his initial gentleness, then the coldness upon discovering he didn't have what he wanted, and how he casually discarded a life. "How realistic."
"So Otto's goal is to resurrect that woman named Kallen?" Su asked.
"I think so," Sakura said uncertainly. "In reality, Otto and Kallen have been married for decades and are very much in love. So if Kallen died in the story, it's understandable that Otto would become like this."
"Hmph, passable, I guess."
"The First Divine Key..." Vill-V looked at the Divine Key, which seemed to have its own consciousness, and fell into deep thought.
"Is it like a network-based AI personality?" Mobius looked at Yàqīng.
Yàqīng didn't know how to explain it either.
...
"How domineering." Even Otto himself couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Otto, I..." Kallen was stunned. Now she finally understood why Yàqīng hadn't asked her to do the voice acting. "In the story... I'm dead?"
Otto wrapped his arm around Kallen's shoulder and comforted her. "Don't worry, Kallen. Even if I have to turn the laws of the world upside down, I will definitely resurrect you."
"Pfft." Kallen let out a graceful laugh. "Otto, you sound so chuunibyou right now. Have you put yourself in your character's shoes?"
In front of Kallen, Otto was never the man who held Schicksal in the palm of his hand, but a shy, great inventor.
["The Might of An-Utu, the Divine Key with the strongest destructive power."
The back of a man raised the greatsword of flames high.
"When its Zeroth Power, {An-Utu} is unleashed, the resulting inferno will burn both the user and the enemy to ashes."
A coffin was surrounded by white flowers.
"In fifteen hundred years, twenty-three Kaslana warriors have sacrificed their lives to protect humanity."
Siegfried, his consciousness connected to the Soulium database, watched his Kaslana ancestors fight to their last breath without regard for their own lives. He didn't know what he was feeling. As the Soulium data continued to download, he finally witnessed the final battle on the moon.]
"The Divine Key with the most destructive power..." Vill-V analyzed. "It seems it was built specifically for combat."
Kevin's eyes were already shining.
MEI saw Kevin's childish look and smiled gently.
