Chapter 292: Otto: I am truly courting death!! (Please subscribe automatically)

"So this was your true goal. Hmph, hahahahaha~ Truly a good scheme! Impressive! I admit that this time, student Bai Ge, you are one step ahead of me."

Otto stared at the young man in front of him, gritting his teeth.

One could see that after embedding the core of the Herrscher of Reason of the previous civilization, the God-slaying armor Vermilion Knight: Eclipse had undergone a huge change in style. The armor, which was originally only black and red, was covered in blue and silver.

As if competing for territory, the authorities of the two Herrschers were conflicting within Bai Ge's body. Fortunately, Bai Mouren had long since become adept at operating multiple authorities.

"Construct! Truth Sword Array!"

Bai Ge recalled the construction of a certain weapon in his mind and activated the authority of the Herrscher of Reason.

Immediately, giant swords with a blue-and-white technological feel floated beside him. Although they were called giant swords, there were laser-firing muzzles on the tips. Of course, they could also be used for direct slashing.

He constructed a total of twelve, floating on both sides of his body, looking like an angel's wings—holy yet dangerous, flexible yet versatile, capable of both melee and ranged combat.

(Well~ for now, I can only make do with this thing. After all, if I want to unleash the true power of the Herrscher of Reason's authority, I, who am still in the first stage, must understand the construction of powerful weapons in order to create them.)

And regarding this point, Bai Ge was not worried in the least.

This core of the Herrscher of Reason existed as the core of the first Divine Key, the Void Archives.

It possessed the ability to store knowledge itself.

It recorded a massive amount of knowledge from the previous civilization, which could be learned and read by Bai Ge at will.

As long as he was given enough time to understand the weapon knowledge within, Bai Ge's strength would soar immediately.

"Otto, your expression right now really makes me want to take a photo to remember it. Are you dissatisfied with the way I used the Void Archives? Or are you heartbroken over your old friend of five hundred years?"

Bai Ge teased. One could see the twelve 'Swords of Truth' floating sword-cannons automatically changing, forming the style of a throne behind him, becoming a gorgeous chair for Bai Mouren.

"How could that be~"

Otto felt it was incredible to see him in this state of having already mastered it.

An ordinary Valkyrie, even if she only embedded one core into the Vermilion Knight: Eclipse, would at most last for ten minutes before dying directly due to the erosion of Honkai energy from the Herrscher core.

But Bai Ge could easily master both the 'violent' Herrscher of Flame core and the 'steady' Herrscher of Reason core.

Someone who didn't know better would think that this set of Blank Keys from the previous civilization was specifically designed for him.

"I'm just a little impressed by student Bai Ge's whimsical ideas. I really didn't expect you to choose to destroy the Void Archives and directly use its most precious core gem. This is a path even I hadn't envisioned. Truly impressive."

Otto applauded with sincere admiration, while at the same time, he was already thinking and preparing plans to deal with Bai Ge in the future.

"Heh, after all, the risk of using the Void Archives is not small. This is a Divine Key that Otto Apocalypse has used for five hundred years. Heaven knows if this Revelation Key, which possesses its own wisdom, would turn into a youthful mini-Otto after being tainted by your aura and wisdom."

"You knew about the power of the Void Archives long ago?"

"Of course~ Actually, compared to the Gem of Desire, I also hoped you would choose this thing to exchange with me, Otto. This is your own choice, so if you want to blame someone, blame yourself."

"Good, good, good~ Very good. I had already overestimated student Bai Ge as much as possible, but I didn't expect I still underestimated you."

Otto looked at the wreckage of the Void Archives on the ground. This was the first time in hundreds of years that he had experienced a defeat in the true sense!

Even the Herrscher of the Void from the Second Eruption back then couldn't compare to the young man in front of him.

Bai Ge had truly schemed against him.

After he handed the Void Archives to him, not only did he fail to achieve his desired goal, but he even allowed Bai Ge to strengthen himself significantly.

The final result was that Otto lost his habitual Divine Key, oh, and also an S-rank Valkyrie.

Even the previous three hundred sets of B-rank Valkyrie armor could be said to have been wasted in vain. After all, since the beacon of the Key of the Thousand Worlds was in Bai Ge's hands, he didn't need to spend that unjust money to inquire about Kevin Kaslana's whereabouts.

Summary: This time, Otto was truly pitted miserably!

"Eh~ This actually has to be blamed on Teacher Welt, too."

"Cough! Cough, cough, cough! What does that have to do with me?"

Old Yang shuddered, almost choking himself to death with a mouthful of tea. He looked at Bai Ge in astonishment; his mood at this moment was still in a state of shock that was hard to add to.

Although Welt knew of Bai Ge's extraordinary nature, he didn't expect him to be so extraordinary!

Compared to the young man who could only create miracles by relying on the power of his will during the Second Eruption, his growth at this moment was staggering.

This is Otto Apocalypse!

He was actually pitted by Bai Ge into losing hundreds of sets of armor, an S-rank Valkyrie, and his favorite Divine Key.

Old Yang couldn't help but sigh at what a terrifying young man this was.

However, Welt was originally still rejoicing that he hadn't offended Bai Ge, but then he heard him say that this matter was his own fault, and he was immediately frightened.

"Who let you refuse to give me the core of the Herrscher of Reason when I asked you for it back then? Otherwise, I wouldn't have set my sights on Archbishop Otto, would I?"

Bai Ge chuckled and patted Old Yang on the shoulder.

"So, rounding it up, you have a share in this matter. Consider it us pitting Otto together, no problem, right?"

"Heh, good, of course no problem."

Old Yang immediately beamed with joy.

Just thinking about the fact that he had a hand in pitting Otto so miserably made him feel extremely happy and relieved.

Perfect, a world where only Otto is injured has been achieved~

"Is it necessary for you two to be like this? Building happiness on the suffering of others is not something a good person should do." Otto also spread his hands and looked at the two of them helplessly.

"Keep your opinions to yourself. Oh, right, speaking of which, this Blank Key is still yours. I can only say thank you, Archbishop Otto. If it weren't for this armor, I wouldn't have been able to pit you in this form."

"Cough, cough, cough! You're... you're welcome..."

Being thanked so sincerely by Bai Ge.

Otto only felt even more broken, and even more like vomiting blood.

That's right, it seemed this matter was indeed his own doing. If it weren't for this Blank Key from the previous civilization that could embed Herrscher cores, Bai Ge wouldn't have been able to become so strong.

At the very least, if it weren't for this armor, even if he had obtained the Void Archives, he wouldn't have been able to transform into the Herrscher of Reason.

After all, the Herrscher cores of the previous civilization had a clear difference from the current civilization, which was that the former were 'dead'.

Unlike the Herrscher cores of the current civilization, even if the holder dies, the core can merge into a new host, allowing them to become a new Herrscher and master the corresponding authority.

Otherwise, the previous civilization wouldn't have used the cores in the form of Divine Keys, but would have directly created artificial Herrschers. ===== CHAPTER 293 =====
