The Dimensional Book of Collapse

"So that's it..."

Firefly knows better than anyone what will happen to him after what he has experienced.

"But after that incident, I realized the importance of this power. Why, Kiana?"

"Because of the lack of completeness, it's like watching a TV series, I haven't seen the corresponding progress yet."

"..."

"Then what should I do..."

Qin Mo looked at the two Kiana in front of him and thought for a while with his chin in his hand.

"In fact, with Kiana's personality, she can get out of the predicament by herself. After all, it is something you have experienced before. But there is another way, which is to show the follow-up of this matter."

"How to do?"

Qin Mo showed off the jewelry on his hand: "Originally it was a bit troublesome, but now, I can help you create an illusion, just like sleeping, do you want to try it?"

Chapter 34: Phantom Thief Ziyuan·Enter!

From ancient times to the present, the scholars and wise men who emerged at the beginning of this era's civilization are as endless as the stars in the night sky, and those who can be at the top absolutely cannot lack a man.

A man named Otto Apokalis.

Although he calls himself a fool, that is only because he insists on doing something he knows is wrong.

Just as he said, a person will experience three stages of growth in his life.

The first time is to understand what is right and wrong.

The second time was when I realized that some things are not just right or wrong.

The third time is when, after realizing that some things are neither right nor wrong, you still firmly do what you believe in and take responsibility for it.

Otto knew clearly what he was doing and what his actions would bring.

But even though he claimed to be the smartest man, he didn't know how to do what he had always hoped for.

He placed his hopes on Honkai, an omnipotent force that had brought countless disasters to mankind, but he was unable to get an accurate answer.

He plotted against countless people, killed countless people, and saved countless people.

He has saved the law-abiding people, protected the law-abiding people, and killed the law-abiding people.

People who don't know his true purpose may just regard him as an evil person who is moody and acts according to his own wishes.

But after knowing Otto's purpose, that first impression will be completely overturned.

He could perhaps be called a complete villain, not even worthy of being called a human being.

But there was not a trace of falsehood in the emotions he held.

From the beginning to the end, he had only one goal, which was to make up for his own regrets and resurrect the saint who died because of him.

And right now...

Now that he has not yet found a way to save his saint, he sees hope of achieving his goal from another person he least expected.

“It’s neither collapse nor a special energy of imaginary numbers or quantum.”

Squinting his eyes and looking at the analyzed data in front of him, even Otto fell into a bit of confusion.

There are many supernatural energies in this world, whether it is the collapse that is a disaster, the tree of imaginary numbers that supports the growth of the world, or the mysterious sea of ​​​​quantum.

These destinies have been studied and some of their characteristics have been understood.

However, the energy used in the so-called Holy Grail Ritual Contract and the magic of summoning servants is completely different from the other three.

It can be said that the development direction of all technology trees in this world is towards collapse.

After leaving Honkai energy, not to mention development, even many of the current technologies can no longer be used.

So even Otto was at a loss when faced with this completely different energy.

of course……

If he is given enough time, he will be able to thoroughly study this energy called magic.

But what he lacks most now is time.

Out of caution, he did not summon servants right away, but after wasting a few days and making sure there would be no obvious danger, he decided to start summoning.

"Amber, send Him over here."

Even though he planned to put the summoning on hold for the time being, Otto still prepared the holy relics in advance.

It’s just that this relic is a bit more exaggerated than what others have prepared…

It was a huge mechanical box, which was transported by a machine to a room engraved with a magic circle.

As the leader of the Mandate of Heaven, the resources that Otto can mobilize are naturally exaggerated.

Therefore, the materials used to draw magic circles are also the best materials that can be selected in the records.

Looking at the huge mechanical box in front of him, Otto's eyes were full of nostalgia.

He walked to the side of the mechanical box and looked at the only glass window on it that allowed him to see what was inside.

Inside, a white-haired girl was lying peacefully.

It turns out that this is not a machine, but a specially made coffin.

In this coffin, even after five hundred years, her body has not changed at all.

Otto used every method he could think of to preserve Kallen's body, hoping to revive her one day.

Unfortunately.

The world allows consciousness to match new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness.

Even though the injuries on Kallen's body had been repaired by Otto over the years, Kallen showed no signs of reviving or waking up. He could only place his hopes on that illusory soul.

But it doesn’t matter, perhaps this can be proven today.

What better relic could one give than the remains of one's own body, than using related items?

Anyway, no matter what it was, Otto felt that because someone else had used it, he couldn't summon the person he wanted to see with 100% certainty.

"It's ready, Your Excellency."

While Otto was looking at Kallen lying in the coffin, Amber beside him had already finished preparing everything that needed to be done.

"The magic power that exists in living things, I just don't know if my soul steel body can become a master."

After hearing what Amber said, Otto looked at the back of his hand.

Although he was beaten by Yulandel, he felt it was worth it. After signing the contract, he obtained the Command Seal on the back of his hand, which was the authority to summon servants.

In his research, magic exists within living things, and life...

Although he looked no different from a human, he knew that his body was no longer made of flesh and blood, but was made of soul steel.

If possible, he would like to let others test it first.

But there were no other spots available, so he had to take the risk himself.

Looking at the magic circle in front of him, Otto chanted a spell while thinking about the person he was thinking about.

Otto's expression did not change at all in response to the light emitted by the magic circle.

Only when he saw the familiar figure appearing in the middle of the magic circle did he slowly open his eyes.

"The righteous Phantom Thief, Phantom Thief Ziyuan, I am here to present my report. Master, do you want to join me in robbing the rich and giving to the poor?"

In the light, a figure in a purple dress appeared.

Amber looked at the figure that appeared with some surprise.

She knew who her prototype was. Although she was wearing a mask, she could tell at a glance that the figure looked like her.

Didn't she expect that her prototype was such a... lively person?

"Karen..."

Looking at the familiar figure, although it was different from the person he remembered, Otto's intuition gave him the answer.

"Hey!? Otto, why is it you!?"

Chapter 35 Kallen and the Body

"Is this the destiny of 500 years from now? I never thought it would develop to this point... this point..."

Karin looked at the technology around her that was ahead of the entire world and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable adjective. In the end, she just uttered two words.

"advanced."

After all, Karen lived in the Middle Ages, and even though she was born into the Kaslana family, one of the three major families, she did not have a very good educational environment.

From this we can see how talented Otto was as he was able to invent so many props under the conditions and environment at that time.

"Karen, how do you know it's five hundred years from now?"

Although the person in front of him looked exactly like his saint, Otto still felt that something was wrong, as if... she was the same girl in his memory during the happiest time with Kallen.

But Otto knew very well that that time had long gone by and could not be recovered for both him and Kallen.

and……

It's very unusual that Kallen didn't even mention the woman named Yaesakura.

"Ah? Because when I was summoned, the Holy Grail gave me a lot of common sense of this era, but the destiny here is much more exaggerated than common sense."

Otto nodded in agreement: "Of course, Sentence is the world's leading organization against Honkai, and its technology is also world-class."

Kallen blinked, "What about you?"

"I?"

Even Otto didn't expect Kallen to suddenly ask such a question: "I'm fine. Now I am the head of the Apokalis family and the bishop of destiny above all others!"

"Look, Kallen, I started an uprising, changed destiny, and changed the world. Destiny now is completely different from what it was five hundred years ago!"

Otto opened his arms and described to Kallen how the current Destiny had become so prosperous under his leadership.

"Now the Mandate of Heaven is different from before. It is not just shrinking in Europe. Even the Divine Land that those old guys once tried to launch a holy war to rule is now under the protection of the Mandate of Heaven to maintain stability and avoid being invaded by the collapse."

Otto's abnormal behavior made Amber a little dazed.

Without boasting, Amber felt that she might be the person who knew Bishop Otto best in destiny.

She even knew how many spare bodies he had and what the purpose of his actions had been all along, and she had performed many dirty jobs for Otto, just like another Valkyrie who had defected, Rita.

Even though he knew what kind of person the real Otto was, he still followed his instructions.

She had once thought about what kind of person Saint Kallen was, who could make the Bishop, who was revered by the Valkyrie of Destiny, always miss her.

To be honest, she was a little disappointed.

Because the Saint Lady didn't seem to be anything special, even in Amber's opinion...

This saint lady is like a little girl who is ignorant of the world.

The usually calm bishop seemed like a different person.

Is it because of this Saint Lady?

In front of Kallen, the mature and steady Otto, who had always been reserved towards everyone, seemed to have liberated his nature and let himself go.

"But Otto, what about you... Humans can't live for 500 years."

Otto stopped showing off.

"..."

The slightly crazy look in his eyes also returned to his original calmness.

He had imagined countless times what he would say when he met Karen, and even saw his own inner self in the form of Karen when he was fighting Walter Joyce.

"Because there are things I want to do, and I can't die before I accomplish that thing."

Otto did not say that it was for the purpose of resurrecting Kallen, because he knew that even if he said that, Kallen would not be grateful to him for it. It was true that they had an engagement, but Kallen had always regarded him as just a friend.

Not to mention that due to a series of events later, Kallen parted ways with him.
