Chapter 38: The God's Revelation
[In the real world, Fu Hua reminded Otto that time was running out; Sirin could wake up at any moment. But Otto, within the illusionary space of Fenghuang Down, told Fu Hua not to worry, because he was close to finding what he was looking for.
Kneeling on a mirrored surface, Sirin pleaded with God for help. And God answered her plea. A strong pillar of light descended from the sky. The dazzling light made Otto close his eyes.
When Otto opened his eyes again, his disguise was gone. He found himself in a pure white space. His heart began to beat violently, for he knew he was about to face something that transcended human wisdom.
In Otto's gaze, he saw a pure white figure not far away, kneeling piously before a cross. As he approached, the figure slowly rose. It had turned into Otto's own image.
Otto was only surprised, not afraid. He gave a polite bow to the so-called god.
"Lord God, my name is Otto Apocalypse."
"I have come here to seek your help."
To resurrect his beloved, Otto had long since disregarded life and death. But facing the enemy of humanity, the god of the Honkai, he was on full alert. Since he was already so close to the answer, he would be fearless, even if it meant fighting a god.]
"What is he planning to do?!" Kevin's eyes widened, seeing Otto's hand behind his back, tightly gripping the replica Might of An-Utu.
"It's obvious. If he doesn't get the answer he wants, Otto dares to commit deicide. Hah..." MEI yawned. Having done experiments all night, the fatigue suddenly hit her.
Kevin held his girlfriend, letting her fall asleep on his shoulder.
"What a bold and audacious man," Einstein lamented, blowing on her hot coffee.
"Although we don't like the atmosphere within Schicksal, we have to admit that Otto can indeed stand against the entire Anti-Entropy Group alone," Welt Joyce said.
"I thought Yang was already charismatic enough in the story, but I never thought Otto [Anti-Entropy curse] would actually dare to do this." Tesla's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit an egg.
"Oh~, Yang, Dr. Tesla is praising you for being charismatic," Einstein said with a half-smile.
"Dr. Einstein, you!" Under Einstein's gaze, the foul-mouthed Dr. Tesla's voice gradually faded, her cheeks turning red.
Welt Yang pretended not to hear.
[The god nodded slightly. It did not speak, but the answer was transmitted into Otto's mind. Otto couldn't believe it. The god of the Honkai was so willing to help him, a human.
Such an unexpected answer, Otto couldn't easily believe it. He decided to test the other party first.
However, before he could ask his question, answers flooded into his mind. Even if you combined the brains of all the wise men from ancient times to the present, they wouldn't be able to withstand the countless truths pouring into Otto's mind at this moment.
In an instant, Otto knew. The one before him was indeed an omniscient and omnipotent god. He also understood why the god would help him—
He was the Overseer of Schicksal, the enemy of the Honkai, the self-proclaimed smartest person in the world.
Otto knelt down with utmost humility. When was the last time he had been this humble? It seemed to be in a prison cell, humbly begging to marry Kallen to save her.
In the eyes of a god, humans were like ants.
As a human, would you care about the thoughts of an ant? Would you be hostile towards an ant?
Having confirmed that the other party was indeed a god, then there was only one question left to ask.]
"To have all the truths of the world crammed into one person's brain... that truly is the work of a god," Mobius said self-deprecatingly. "To obtain all the truths of the world, one must abandon the limitations of the human brain, unless..."
"Don't think about it, Senior Mobius. This is just a movie. There's no god in the world to cram all the truths into you," Yàqīng said, pushing Mobius's pretty face away.
"Yàqīng, why are you so devoid of love?"
"Senior Mobius, love is for young girls."
Hearing this, Mobius exploded with anger.
"Are you saying I'm not a young girl?!!"
"Oh my, Yàqīng, how could you say that? Mobius is~ ♥" Elysia covered her mouth and giggled.
"Shut up, Elysia. Don't think I don't know you were the one who corrupted little Griseo," Mobius's forehead bulged with veins.
"Elysia doesn't know what you're talking about~ ♥" Elysia's eyes suddenly became clear and foolish.
"I want to do that too," Kiana said with envy. "If I could have all the knowledge directly crammed into my brain, this young lady wouldn't have to study so painfully."
"Stop dreaming, Kiana," Bronya directly shattered the kaslana's dream. "The limits of the human brain are not enough to support all knowledge. The consequence would be your brain exploding like a balloon."
"Bro~nya~, can't I even dream about it!" Kiana said, her hands on her slender hips, pouting.
"All the truths of the world, huh?" Theresa came out of the kitchen with freshly squeezed bitter melon juice and said happily, "Is there a way to make everyone in the world love drinking bitter melon juice?"
Everyone looked at Theresa in horror.
Humanity does not deserve this sin.
Even the Honkai is not this cruel.
["O God, I have but one question left. I want to know how to truly bring the dead back to life."
"She is the most important person to me. Her name is Kallen, Kallen Kaslana..."
Otto clasped his hands together, showing an extremely pious attitude. But this time, the god did not answer him.
In Otto's mind, only memories of the past appeared.
The people he had hurt...
The sins he had committed...
The lies he had told...
Seeing these memories, did Otto feel regret? Did he feel guilty? Perhaps, but not now. Right now, he just wanted the answer.
"Please tell me the answer, Lord God. To save her, I will stop at nothing."
Watching Otto's reaction, the god smiled. The cross in its hand transformed into a sharp blade, which it plunged fiercely into its own chest. As the blade entered, Otto's body also began to disintegrate.
What was the meaning of the god's final act?
Was it to punish Otto for the sins he had committed?
Or was it some kind of revelation?
Or was it that even the god did not have the answer to this question?
Returning to reality, Otto let out a painful cry. He felt countless pieces of information flooding into his brain like a tide, causing his brain to rapidly dissipate as it tried to accommodate such a large amount of information.
The last remaining image was the moment the god pierced itself with the blade.
And the meaning of this image, he would not understand until ten years later.
In the illusion created by Fu Hua's Fenghuang Down, Sirin grabbed the hilt of the Key of Sentience that was piercing her chest.
"Damn it, she's about to wake up!"]
"What does the god mean? For Otto to kill himself to exchange one life for another?" Kevin deliberately lowered his voice so as not to wake MEI, and asked, puzzled.
"It's easy for Otto to kill himself, but how to exchange one life for another, that's the problem," Su said.
"Could it be... Otto has to become a Herrscher?" Mobius said casually.
Yàqīng looked as if he had seen a ghost.
These people have figured out all my future plot points. How am I supposed to earn their... money?!
This part of the story, Otto had cooperated with all his heart. Even when Yàqīng and Shab thought it was okay, Otto would insist on re-recording it hundreds of times.
Kallen blushed.
Seeing this scene, Otto felt that his efforts had not been in vain.
