Chapter 370
Before Theresa and the others could voice their doubts, Otto very considerately explained the ins and outs of the event.
"Alright~ Next, let me sort out the ins and outs of the event for you~"
Simply put, a few months ago, Kiana defeated the Herrscher of Domination, but the Herrscher core went missing.
At that time, Otto borrowed the power of the Second Divine Key to manage to enter the remnants of the Theater of Domination, and discovered within—
The core of the Herrscher of Domination could hide parts of itself in the Imaginary Space to search for new hosts.
And the targets the Herrscher of Domination sought were those who harbored despair and were willing to let the world fall into failure.
And 500 years ago, Otto, after losing Kallen, was in the darkest and most fragile period of his life.
26 Unsurprisingly, this was the best choice for the Herrscher of Domination to possess.
Therefore, Otto deliberately created a soul steel body and projected the information from 500 years ago onto it.
This was equivalent to a simulation program; the information simulated was all collected from real, complete historical data.
Hence, that Otto firmly believed he was Otto Apocalypse from 1491.
Only in this way could he deceive that last core of Domination.
And the result was exactly as Otto had expected.
That final Herrscher core indeed found that "Otto from 500 years ago."
After Rita killed that "Otto from 500 years ago," this last core was obtained.
"But..." Miss You Lan Dai Er still felt uncomfortable in her heart:
"You artificially created such a consciousness, and then... killed it with your own hands for your own goals."
Although that "Otto" was only infused with memories, regardless, it was still an existence with self-awareness.
In Miss You Lan Dai Er's view, that was also a living life.
Seeing Miss You Lan Dai Er's furrowed brows, Otto was completely indifferent.
"Yes, but is this the first time you've heard that I would do such a thing?"
"For example..."
"I saved someone's life five hundred years ago, but five hundred years later, I still pointed a gun at her."
"Another example... in order to study the power of the Herrscher, I once snatched the Second Herrscher from Anti-Entropy; at that time, Mr. Welt almost wiped her out on behalf of humanity."
"After that, I killed her, resurrected her, and tortured almost everyone on the Hyperion for her power."
"Among them, I also indirectly killed that captain..."
"This is what Otto Apocalypse would do."
Seeing this, seeing Otto nonchalantly listing his own crimes, the audience only felt their blood pressure soaring.
The barrage had already started cursing.
【Otto the dog thief really deserves to die...】
But Sister Yidian discovered some things that were not quite right.
Otto never did meaningless things.
He never bothered to explain such superfluous words either.
Moreover, saying these things would only enrage Miss You Lan Dai Er.
And Miss You Lan Dai Er was the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Otto's right-hand woman.
Why would Otto deliberately say these things to provoke such a powerful subordinate?
There was only one possibility, and that was—Otto no longer needed Miss You Lan Dai Er.
But then the question arose: even if he didn't need her, Otto wouldn't provoke Miss You Lan Dai Er for no reason...
"How strange..."
While Sister Yidian was pondering, Xiang Aili was still diligently pushing the plot forward.
Otto's voice continued.
"Miss You Lan Dai Er, you clearly know the ins and outs of these things... yet now, you care about a mechanical consciousness that only existed for a few hours?"
"..." Miss You Lan Dai Er's expression fell; it was clear she had indeed been provoked by Otto and was unhappy.
Seeing this, Otto smiled lightly and then sighed: "Sigh..."
"Are you angry because of what I just said? Then I can apologize—"
"Because in my view, 【being afraid of the rat to protect the vase】 is not a shameful act."
"I know you are no longer a child, Bianca."
For some reason, hearing this, Sister Yidian always felt that Otto's snide words seemed to reveal a trace of...
Doting??
"Over the years, you have stuck to your mission, choosing to tolerate the darkness of this world, tolerate the necessary evils I have committed..."
"I must say, this is not shameful!!"
"In this matter, you have shown maturity and perseverance beyond your years. I will tell the whole world without hesitation because of this—you, Miss You Lan Dai Er..."
"Are the best student I've had in five hundred years!"
Miss You Lan Dai Er: "..."
She was a bit angry now, but also felt somewhat bewildered.
Why would Otto suddenly say these things to her...
And many viewers in the livestream felt equally confused.
Even the most naive person discovered that Otto's behavior at this moment was somewhat inconsistent with his usual style.
Moreover, the game's background music at this time actually seemed a bit sorrowful!!
Too strange.
In the game, Otto wore a smile, his snide tone paired with the tragic piano music, almost as if he were... entrusting his legacy?!
"Alright, alright, don't be sulky, my good children~"
"Theresa too, why are you staring at me so fiercely, like I'm a murderer?"
"Your grandfather is not a devil; no matter what, I wouldn't just kill people randomly."
But Theresa still glared at Otto.
Seeing this, he just smiled: "In the past, I did do excessive things to you and your subordinates for some unavoidable reasons—"
"But my child, haven't you noticed that those troublesome things have all passed now?"
"My resignation is serious, and my leaving Schicksal is also serious. You must know, for these five hundred years, I have traveled across mountains and rivers to find my final destination..."
"That is a priceless treasure that nothing can replace... something worth me giving everything for."
Theresa blinked her eyes and couldn't help but ask: "What exactly did you find?"
"Found a period of time, found a divine soul that has not yet perished..."
Otto's explanation was somewhat vague.
But whether it was Sister Yidian or the players in the livestream, they all knew that what Otto was talking about was definitely related to resurrecting Kallen.
"I will use my own death to prove to her what a magnificent full stop a truly voluntary death, a truly willing death, is for life!"
"Come! In order for our relationship to continue in the future, please accept this gift... my dear Theresa."
Saying this, Otto fused the 1,000 【Herrscher of Domination】 cores he had collected together.
Then, as if throwing candy to a child, he tossed them to Theresa.
"Here, try to use its power for yourself too, Theresa; it might become a quite perfect weapon~"
Theresa: "..."
Looking at the Herrscher of Domination core in her hand, although she had doubts, she didn't refuse: "Thanks for the reminder, the scientists of Anti-Entropy will conduct research on this."
Otto nodded with a smile: "Hmm, I'm not worried about that. After all, they can always do good research and will definitely be able to help you solve those most difficult intellectual problems~"
"You don't have to be too angry for me, Theresa..."
"The ceremony for the transfer of power will be held as scheduled. I guarantee you will become the 【Archbishop of Schicksal】 with full authority."
"I am about to embark on my final journey to the other side of the world to find that one and only existence—"
"Kallen Kaslana..."
After saying this, Otto left alone without looking back.
And after watching this part of the plot, the barrage also became lively.
【What's going on? Why do I always feel Otto is being strange...】
