Chapter 669

~7 min read 1,242 words

The classic, world-renowned "Thus Spoke Apocalypse" appeared again.

"I don't need anyone to evaluate me; after all, these long yet short five hundred years were just a man paying everything he could for his own wishful thinking."

"He has now reached the end of his journey—what he had to complete, what he had to witness, what he had to redeem…"

"They have already taken root and sprouted in the Imaginary Tree, just waiting for the lost messenger to deliver the final message before everything ends."

"That moment will not be too early, nor too late; it will become a requiem that crosses death, and it will become a hymn to the arrival of a miracle."

"The world will turn only for one person at that moment… let the imposed sin dissipate, let the terminated will continue to move forward."

"The despicable will be taken to the grave by me; the light will reach the future because of you."

"I fooled friends, fooled loved ones, fooled the world and the rules above it…"

"Just to give you, the only real one, a second life."

"I'm back… Kallen."

"Only when a person truly wants to change the world do they realize how small individual power is."

"The saint gave everything for the people, but what she got in return were ruthless shackles and a noose."

"The world is so chaotic; it is neither fair nor reasonable. It persecutes heroes, nourishes evil, ugliness is everywhere, and beauty does not exist."

"Heh, let the villain cut off the malice of the world."

"This is the distance between her and tomorrow, this is the world's ruthless counterattack against her, but her believers will never give up because of this."

After being synonymous with darkness for a long time, this time, Otto ignited a dazzling flame.

Like a meteor falling to the earth, this is the light bloomed by a sinner in his final time.

Just like the light brought to him by the girl who climbed over the wall that summer.

Overcoming all obstacles, Otto completed a great feat that no one dared to imagine; he tore everything apart and returned to that year.

Watching Kallen, who had just broken free from the gallows prepared for her by the ignorant people, busy turning around to save those ignorant people.

The burning Otto had a tear overflow from the corner of his eye.

The final radiance of the Mimicry of Shamash bloomed.

"Kallen… live on!"

The villain of the world, five hundred years later, crossed time and personally realized his dream.

On his deathbed, Otto was exceptionally calm; the meaning of nothingness above, below, left, and right was to let the deceased retain their final sanity.

But Otto didn't need this useless effort; he was crazier than anyone, but also more rational than anyone.

He knew that he, who had done such universally condemned things, would be deleted by the Imaginary Tree.

He couldn't live.

But from the beginning, Otto didn't care; he had done too many wrong things, he knew.

He didn't think about living to see Kallen, but…

If he could hear a final farewell, it would be a nice ending, right?

"Farewell, my Great Inventor…"

Otto, who hadn't shed a tear in over five hundred years, suddenly laughed wantonly; he rolled in this void space, laughing until tears streamed down.

He was like a child, sometimes cheering, sometimes curling up and shivering.

His consciousness gradually blurred; on the verge of death, Otto turned over and got up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled.

"Otto… a nice performance."

"So in the original fate, I would realize my dream like this… worthy of me, Otto Apocalypse."

"However… this ending is too sad; I still want to cook more for Theresa—that child, without my care, only eats bitter melon food every day."

"And Kallen… now, what I want to hear is not 'farewell', but… 'long time no see'…"

Yes, from the moment Otto stepped into the Imaginary Tree side, he had already realized that he was still in the Heart-Questioning Array.

But he still wanted to see if the future self had done it.

As a result…

It didn't disappoint him.

Otto tidied his appearance and spoke to himself calmly.

"Time to go… I should go."

"I still have a long way to go; Kallen needs more cultivation resources, and Theresa too—a mere first layer of heart-questioning is still far from enough."

"Then… goodbye, past me."

"I am the person you most longed to become, the Great Inventor, Otto Apocalypse."

465. Gray Serpent: My codename is Gray Serpent, it doesn't mean I'm a snake demon

The world seemed to collapse suddenly, and Otto's consciousness was suddenly withdrawn.

He raised his hand to look; he didn't have the power of the Pseudo-God period that was strong enough to reverse everything.

But…

It was very real.

"A lifetime in an instant…"

Otto sighed with complex feelings; compared to everything he saw in Shushan, the Pseudo-God power in his original fate seemed incredibly ridiculous.

Otto didn't miss that version of himself in that fate; he expressed respect for that version of himself, but he would not become him.

Because…

Otto slowly looked up, his gaze obsessively fixed on the position of Dragon Head Peak.

"Kallen, she has already returned, and I… cannot die…"

"She needs me, and Theresa also needs me to provide them with enough resources."

"I have to keep going."

Withdrawing his mind, Otto observed his surroundings; perhaps because he was the first to step into the Heart-Questioning Array.

At this time, he was also the first to successfully pass the first layer of heart-questioning.

Otto looked at Kevin, who was full of struggle, with great interest; he didn't know what kind of future Kevin saw.

But…

It probably wasn't very beautiful.

"Alright, the rest ends here; I haven't reached my limit yet."

Otto took a deep breath and stepped out again; his eyes went dark. This time, he was an ordinary disciple in a small sect in the cultivation world who was not valued.

As Otto stepped into the second layer of heart-questioning, Kevin suddenly took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and looked around nervously.

His eyes were full of shock.

This means of condensing fate into an instant and letting him experience it was truly terrifying.

But for now, the most important thing is…

"Herrscher of Corruption…"

Kevin muttered in a low voice, like an injured beast, his eyes full of boiling murderous intent.

The final ending, Kevin didn't care; that was something he was happy to see.

But…

The Herrscher of Corruption destroyed the Elysian Realm and deleted Elysia.

Kevin would never allow it.

Comrades who had already passed away once must never continue to die.

"Damn Honkai, just wait…"

Kevin said fiercely, looked back at Kiana, Mei, and Bronya.

The corners of his mouth seemed to rise slightly, and he strode forward.

Following Otto and Kevin, more people woke up.

Kiana, Mei, and the others looked at each other with suspicion, and they all saw the lingering fear in each other's eyes.

The original future did indeed solve Honkai, but that method could not be considered a perfect ending.

Too many sacrifices…

Originally, if there was no choice, they could only continue on this path, but now…

They had other choices!

Kiana, Mei, and Bronya looked at each other, and an unprecedented tacit understanding welled up in their hearts.
