Chapter 498

"Schicksal conducted multiple experiments in North Africa using the Second Divine Key, Cosmic Juggernaut, to connect to the Imaginary Tree, but Otto was not optimistic about the experiments. Looking at such massive but useless data, Otto lamented that progress was minimal, understanding that the power of the Herrscher of the Void was necessary to drive the Divine Key for observation.

After the base was invaded by World Serpent, for unknown reasons, he instructed Durandal to let the escaping Kiana go. He appeared during the confrontation between Kevin Kaslana and Durandal, introduced himself to Kevin, made a deal with him, and finally decided to cooperate with World Serpent. The beginning of Chapter 17 of the main story explained the content of the deal: exchanging the 'Void Archives' in Otto's hands for the 'beacon' of the 'Cosmic Juggernaut' to reach the Imaginary Tree."

"After witnessing Immortal Fu Hua's awakening at Schicksal headquarters, he greeted her, but was knocked to the ground by Immortal Fu Hua, who was incited by the 【Three Selves】, and lay paralyzed in front of Durandal with a look of hopelessness. Schicksal headquarters was almost paralyzed by Immortal Fu Hua."

"Of course, the identity of this Immortal Fu Hua is worth thinking about."

"And then... Otto hid behind the scenes again with the help of the Herrscher of Sentience incident. During the Herrscher of Domination incident, Otto invaded a puppet, secretly observing the duel between the protagonist group and the Herrscher of Domination, and seized the core of the Herrscher of Domination the moment Kiana swung the Sword of Condemnation. Through the core of Domination, Otto talked to the Will of Honkai again and reached a cooperation. Subsequently, Otto appeared at Schicksal again, changed into a new outfit and hairstyle, and asked Durandal to assist him in the experiment of connecting the World Bubble to the Imaginary Tree. The two achieved their goal through the Theater of Domination utilized by Otto, and the experiment was successful."

"For the sake of the plan, Otto awakened Li Sushang, the third S-rank Valkyrie. Later, he started a global live broadcast, revealed the truth of Honkai to the world, and announced his resignation as the Bishop of Schicksal, appointing Theresa Apocalypse as his successor. At the same time, using the whereabouts of the core of Domination as bait, he lured the protagonist group to Kolosten. Using the Second Divine Key, Cosmic Juggernaut, he detected the town of Kolosten during the Schicksal battle 500 years ago, and after copying it into the Theater of Domination, he used the Theater of Domination to project it into reality; through this method, he successfully transferred his consciousness from 500 years ago into a spare Soul Steel body, and then used this body as bait to attract the last core of the Herrscher of a Thousand to attach; in the church, he ordered Rita to assassinate this body to obtain the last core of the Herrscher of a Thousand, and gathered the complete core gem of the Herrscher of a Thousand in front of Theresa and others, stealing half of the authority. Subsequently, relying on the authority of Domination, he controlled hundreds of prosthetic bodies to surround the Hyperion."

"He confessed his plan to everyone on the Hyperion—to rewind time by five hundred years at the cost of the present, and gave everyone the final 12 hours to stop him. He ordered the three S-rank Valkyries to face the enemy on three fronts: giving Rita the Theater of Domination to block the orphanage group; ordering Li Sushang to block Immortal Fu Hua; and ordering Durandal to maneuver from the middle and then be backstabbed. He reviewed the past with Kallen in the consciousness space with Void Archives Kevin."

"Subsequently, he confronted Durandal, who had learned the truth and rushed to the church, and used the First Divine Key, Void Archives, to simulate other Divine Keys to fight her. After being defeated, he completed the 'sublimation of himself' and exiled Durandal to the Kaslana Stigmata Space. In front of Kiana, who arrived subsequently, he opened the gate of the Imaginary, and Kiana attempted to pursue, but the Greatsword of Shamash disappeared the moment it touched the Imaginary gate, and she could only watch helplessly as Otto retreated unscathed."

"And then, it was the scene where Durandal and Kiana fought against 【Pseudo-God Otto】 together!"

"Otto reached an agreement with the Will of Honkai and obtained the authority of Binding."

"He escaped into the Imaginary space inside the church and left behind an Imaginary crack, and used his authority to generate a barrier of Binding to cover the entire church. After the protective shield was blasted open by Bronya using several Moonlights of the Throne simulated by the core of the Herrscher of Reason, he cast the 'Divine Grace Barrier' intending to exterminate Bronya and others, but it was offset by Theresa using the Eleventh Divine Key, the Key of Binding, to release a 'Divine Grace Barrier' of equal scale. Subsequently, Kiana and Durandal, who returned from the Stigmata Space, entered the church together. Kiana broke through the 'Heart Rhyme' of the Taixu Sword Art and expanded the Imaginary crack. The two then broke into the Imaginary space and ran down the tower wall of the Void Church, while Otto had been waiting at the bottom of the tower for a long time."

"The story also begins here..."

Following the end of Bai Feng's long introduction.

The 【Previous Summary】 also completely ended...

In the eyes of countless audience members who were extremely confused and expectant.

The light screen began to play this extremely shocking video.

The place where the story began was inside one of the most important churches of 【Schicksal】.

Durandal, the 【Person of Heavenly Origin】... and Kiana, who possessed four Herrscher cores...

Both of them appeared in this place at the same time.

In the middle of the church,

A blood-red spatial crack quietly emerged,

Kiana, who possessed the authority of the Void,

Instantly understood the mystery and profundity of this crack.

"That is..."

"A crack torn open by the Imaginary space in reality?"

Durandal: "It seems the Bishop should be behind this."

Kiana: "Durandal, you step back."

"I am going to use the power of the Herrscher to tear this spatial crack open to a degree where we can enter."

Afterward, it was Kiana using the power of 【Flamescion】... successfully tearing the crack open.

The two fell slowly from the sky,

The sky before their eyes no longer existed,

Replaced by a gray-purple mist.

Under their feet, a church stood impressively,

Although it appeared dilapidated,

It emitted a heart-palpitating, oppressive aura.

As soon as the sisters stood firm,

Otto's familiar and deep voice rang in their ears.

"Bianka, Kiana."

"You have finally arrived."

"In the name of Apocalypse, I welcome you both to witness this moment of welcoming the apocalypse together."

After hearing Otto's voice,

Durandal and Kiana looked at each other,

There was not a trace of fear in their eyes,

Only firmness and determination flickering.

Although at this moment,

They had already felt an unprecedentedly powerful strength and oppression,

From Otto's steady and majestic voice.

Otto's voice echoed in the air again:

"Are you really ready?"

"Domination has been exhausted, and Binding has also dissipated for a while."

"But they bought me time, bought me an undisturbed venue."

"Allowing me to transcend the Herrscher and reach the god directly."

Although Otto's chanting echoed in their ears,

It could not stop the sisters' firm steps in the slightest.

With a wave of Durandal's hand, Krishana appeared,

Kiana transformed into the Herrscher of Flamescion, her power burning fiercely.

They rushed toward the depths of the church together,

The Imaginary Divine Remains encountered on the way,

Under the powerful offensive of the two joining hands,

Instantly turned into dust, unable to stop them in the slightest.

Soon, they crossed the church, feeling the pull of Otto's power,

And leaped down to the core of the church.

Inside the church, where the cross should have been,

At this moment, a mysterious seed emitting Imaginary power was suspended,

It seemed to be the source of all power,

Emitting a heart-palpitating light.

Seeing this, Kiana's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly,

Her eyes flickering with solemnity.

Kiana: "That is?"

Durandal: "Seed of Void!"

Otto: "Wait..."

"As the master here."

"How can you not let me perform a little bit of hospitality?"

Witnessing Otto's appearance,

The two sisters instantly tensed their nerves and entered a combat stance.

At this moment, Otto was emitting an unprecedentedly powerful aura,

Even Valkyrie powerhouses like them felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Durandal understood in her heart,

The Otto before her was already a different person from the one in her memory.

Otto's gaze drifted over the two,

His eyes full of appreciation and pride.

For him, these two were undoubtedly his proudest masterpieces.

The power they possessed,

Was both the power he had once attempted to suppress,

And the key that helped him reach the peak of his final plan.

Otto chuckled, his hands slowly raised,

The majestic power within his body poured out like a tide.

Honkai energy instantly enveloped him,

A pair of black and gold wings even materialized behind his back,

What was even more shocking was that several more arms grew out of his body.
