The Dimensional Book of Collapse

"Otto..."

A pair of hands wearing purple silk gloves cupped Otto's cheeks.

Otto stared blankly at Kallen in front of him. As far as he could remember, after they grew up, they had never had such intimate physical contact again.

"Although those were not things I experienced personally, I think I didn't resent you in the end."

Otto looked at the blue eyes so close to him without saying a word.

He sees this face almost every day. After all, his secretary Amber is an artificial human with Kallen's genes.

"Otto...your body!?"

After Karen finished speaking, she suddenly realized something.

"This is a body made of soul steel. After all, it is still difficult for a human body to live for 500 years."

Otto gently took Kallen's hands and held them in his.

"Karen, what did you just mean?"

Seeing Otto holding her hands, even though they were covered with gloves, Kallen still blushed.

"What did you just say? What did you say?"

Otto: "It's just not something you experienced personally."

Otto still has doubts, suspecting that the Kallen in front of him is not the real Kallen.

It is just an energy body with Kallen's memories.

If it was just this level, he could probably do it.

But that wasn't what he wanted.

"Well, we Servants are not the real Heroic Spirits. We are just excerpts of a stage."

Kallen pulled her hands away from Otto's without leaving a trace and pressed her right hand on her chest.

"Although I don't quite understand it, the Holy Grail told me that this is because of my class. My class is assassin, and the requirement is that I have performed covert operations or assassinations in the past. So the me that was summoned is me during the covert operations period."

As a smart man, Otto knew why Kallen was dressed like this after just a simple explanation.

Kallen has no record of assassinations, but she has experience in covert operations as a Phantom Thief.

"So for me, Otto, the things that happened between you and my original self were not my personal experiences. However, as a part of my original self, I know about those things, but I only know them as a bystander."

Otto was silent.

He looked at Kallen in front of him, not knowing whether his wish had come true.

If what this Kallen said is true, then even if it is just a Kallen of a certain stage, it is still Kallen.

Even this Phantom Thief Kallen is the Kallen before she defected.

At that time, Karen and I had not yet parted ways and were in a relationship of engaged couple.

And it wasn't the Kallen that he had killed unilaterally.

"Otto? What's wrong with you?"

Looking at the dazed Otto, Kallen asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, I'll take you to eat your favorite dessert. The cakes of this era are much more delicious than those in our time."

Chapter 36: Paradise

"So, this time the reward..."

Inside the World Serpent, Raven, with his hood on, looked at the familiar figure in front of him.

Although the figure in front of her was exactly the same as the one that took her away when she was a child, she knew clearly that the gray snake in front of her was a person with a number she didn't know.

At least, he doesn't have a comedian-like accent like 10426.

"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged in terms of compensation."

"Then I'm relieved. So what wish do you want to make regarding the Holy Grail mentioned above?"

Although he is a cadre of World Serpent, Raven still works for World Serpent as a mercenary.

"Although I am happy that you have the confidence to win, let's talk about this issue after you win."

The raven looked at the gray snake in front of him with a questioning look.

"You are not interested in this Holy Grail?"

"That's the so-called universal wish-granting machine."

Gray Snake was unmoved by Raven's doubts: "In that case, the right to make a wish is given to you, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work."

"..."

Raven looked at Gray Snake in disbelief, but the other party was also a bionic man, so naturally he couldn't see anything from the metal head with only one electronic eye.

"It just so happens that you also want to find your brother, right? And the children you adopted."

Gray Snake's words silenced Raven.

"Well, now that you've said that, don't regret it."

Whether it is her brother or the orphans she adopted, they are all people Raven cares about.

Although she hoped that her brother had not died, her reason told her that no one could survive in such a situation, not to mention that her brother was just an ordinary child.

This is also the reason why she never asked Gray Snake to help find her brother.

Before you know the answer, you will still have a little hope.

But after knowing the answer, all that was left was despair.

Even though she knew it rationally, her human emotions still made her choose to deceive herself and not think about it.

"But the summoned servants must obey the arrangements of the World Serpent."

Raven showed a look of understanding, and she said, how could Gray Snake be so kind.

Gray Snake never does anything without certainty.

It is not easy to snatch victory from the other six. Although the World Serpent has high technological strength, other organizations are not weak either, especially the organization that created the Holy Grail War.

Even the World Serpent does not have the confidence of victory.

After all, snakes are most powerful when they hide in the shadows and attack unexpectedly.

So they set their sights on the summoned servants.

Is it to summon some special existence?

"Okay, okay, then who should we summon?"

Raven doesn't care about this. If he summons a super weak servant, he will just surrender. Anyway, if he loses the servant, he will lose the qualification.

Are you planning to summon a scientific researcher?

Raven entered the paradise of the past world and learned that there were strong men from the previous civilization named Ying Jie, including a scientist whom she didn't even want to remember.

If I were to summon that guy...should I ask Gray Snake for more reward?

While the raven was thinking this, the gray snake had already given its answer.

"You have to ask."

"Shall I ask?"

The raven didn't understand, but the gray snake had explained.

"The Lord has no desire for the Holy Grail, so he lets his former companions decide who to summon."

"The Paradise of the Past is now open to you. Please make another trip, Raven, and bring out the holy relics needed for the summoning."

The underground paradise of the afterlife is more than just a memory.

Some of the relics of former heroes are also stored there.

"I know, I know. I really don't know what you are trying to achieve."

Although he said this, the raven's movements did not slow down at all, and he walked directly towards the paradise underground.

Passing through the long and narrow corridor, Raven saw the familiar place again.

Paradise in the Past...

A space of memories formed by memories.

Although it is just data and memory, the things experienced in the paradise of the past life are real.

The power of those heroes is real, without any falsehood.

The only difference from reality is that they will never change, because they are just a record left behind.

And this is also the trial ground for the World Serpent as a training ground for its cadres.

Almost every official member of the World Serpent has been here.

However, the heroes that each person has seen here are different. Raven has no idea how many heroes there are in the paradise of the past. At least Gray Snake has no interest in introducing them to her.

"Welcome, Miss Sciora."

The first person to appear in front of Raven was Ying, the hero Raven was most familiar with and had the best relationship with in Paradise.

Looking at the ears that looked like they belonged to a rabbit or a fox, Raven also greeted Sakura: "Long time no see, Sakura."

"Are you here to take part in the trial this time?"

Only after passing Ying Jie's trial and gaining Ying Jie's recognition can one obtain Ying Jie's mark.

The seal of Sakura in front of him was the one that Raven got first.

It’s not that Ying is weak, it’s just that compared to other heroes she has met, Ying is easier to talk to and they have the best relationship.

But this time Raven came with a mission.

"No, let's talk about the trial next time. Gray Snake asked me to ask you who you want to send to the Holy Grail War."

"Holy Grail War?"

Naturally, Sakura had never heard of this term, but Du Ya also knew this and directly explained the matter of the Holy Grail War and Heroic Spirits to Sakura.

"Gray Snake said that anyone who is not a living Yingjie can be summoned, but the Lord let you decide for yourself."

"Kevin... But I don't know much about the Heroic Spirits and the Holy Grail War. Maybe I should ask others."

Ying nodded, not quite understanding, "Ms. Xiola, please wait here for a while. I will go find the others."

As a mercenary, Raven is able to control his curiosity well.

Although she was very curious about how many heroes there were in the paradise, she would not run around looking for those people.

After all, although it is the organization of the founder of the World Serpent, there are still many dangerous people. Among them, the one who left the biggest shadow on her is Mobius of the Infinite Mark.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll be waiting for your good news here."

Raven sat down directly on the sofa in the hall of the Paradise of the Past Life and watched Sakura enter the Paradise of the Past Life.

Chapter 37: Thousand Tribulations

Inside the paradise of the afterlife, a figure was walking here.

"This is the paradise of the afterlife. It's completely different from the game."

The part of the paradise in the game that can be shown to players is not very large, and more of the time players have to travel to various areas through something like a portal.

But in reality, although there are portals in Paradise, you don't have to go through them to move forward.

This place is more like a vast space, and the portal is just a humane design to prevent visitors from getting lost.

After Saint Freya dealt with Kiana's affairs, Kiana and Firefly began their dream journey.

And when he discovered that the World Serpent was about to open the Paradise of the Past, he secretly ran over to do some private business.

Through the snake spell and the cover of his other abilities, he successfully sneaked into the paradise of the afterlife without being discovered by anyone.

However, after entering, he discovered that although this place was underground, it was extremely vast.
