"What a coincidence, you're right, what a coincidence."
Yuanxiang recalled what Xiaoyuanxiang had said about 'fate' before he died, and began to worry anxiously whether Fu Hua's gift of the power of the Feather Dust to him was also part of so-called 'fate'. If so, should he temporarily cut off contact with others before finding out the truth about this matter?
Yuanxiang originally did not intend to tell Fu Hua about this matter. As the saying goes, "An elder in the family is a treasure," and he thought that Fu Hua might be able to offer some advice.
"I don't think it's necessary to deliberately cut off contact."
After a moment of contemplation, Fu Hua said softly:
"After all, if mere contact could lead to involvement, we would have been implicated long ago. I will keep an eye out for any unusual occurrences during this period."
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Yuanxiang lowered his head and whispered to Fu Hua, but the immortal immediately lifted his head and said gently:
"Don't tell me you're sorry. With me, you'll never have to be sorry."
"Ah...is that so? That's great."
Seeing Yuanxiang's silly grin, Fu Hua withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly, glanced at the area where Cangxuan Danzhu was conducting the examination, and said softly:
"It's been a while, and I don't know what's going on inside. I'll go check it out. Please wait here for a moment."
"Hmph, go ahead, go ahead. You don't need to say the word 'trouble' here."
Yuanxiang chuckled and snapped his fingers, watching Fu Hua rush headlong into the depths of the medical department without looking back. He couldn't help but sigh at how strong their 50,000-year friendship truly was. Just as the boy was about to turn on the TV again to see if there were any other entertainment programs, he suddenly heard soft music coming from outside the door. Yuanxiang frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, for safety reasons, he cautiously went out to take a look to see where the music was coming from.
The moment Gengo stepped out the door, he suddenly realized that someone was waving at him from the left, but in the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared. Gengo gripped the Joker Memory tightly and walked in the direction the person had indicated, while also using 'Cyclone' to cover the medical department in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gensho."
After walking about twenty steps, Yuanxiang turned and entered a room. Everything inside changed, and it became a very exquisitely decorated reception room. Sitting inside was a blond, blue-eyed man with long hair tied in a single ponytail over his left shoulder. He looked to be about twenty years old, with fair skin and an extremely handsome face. He wore a purple coat with gold trim and a shawl, with white collar and cuffs, and a red scarf. In addition, he was swirling a wine glass in his hand, exuding an elegant air.
Before I formally introduce myself, may I tell you a story, a long and quite valuable one?
"please."
Gensou touched the cup in front of him and realized it was real. However, looking at the various high-end peach juices laid out in front of him, the boy felt a headache coming on. But in order to maintain the setting, he still tasted the deliciousness and quietly waited for the blond man opposite him to speak.
"As we all know, the Destiny Organization is one of the organizations that humanity is fighting against the Honkai. The organization is mainly supported by three major families: the Apocalypse family, which represents the 'Bishops'; the Shaniat family, which represents the 'Saints'; and the Kaslana family, which represents the 'Knights'."
The blond man began in a gentle tone, like a skilled storyteller:
"Our protagonist, Kallen Kaslana, comes from the Kaslana family and is the eldest daughter of Francis, the twenty-ninth head of the Kaslana family. She is upright and straightforward, but also has a gentle, strong, and adorable side."
Otto, who was not yet the Bishop of Destiny that year, was the youngest son of the Apocalypse family and had no right to inherit the family. Therefore, he could be said to be an outsider in the entire family, neither expected nor valued. Otto's only pleasure was to turn his wonderful ideas into gadgets and inventions.
But in the chivalrous age of the 15th century, where strength was revered, Otto's inventions were only met with destruction by his domineering older brother and merciless ridicule. Only Karen treated him with equality and gentleness, acknowledging his value. She was one of Otto's few friends and childhood confidante, and also the object of his affections. Later, due to a family marriage arrangement, Otto and Karen became engaged.
At this point, the blond man raised his glass high, visibly enjoying it immensely as he downed the drink in one gulp. Then, while pouring more wine, he continued:
"Due to her Kaslana family bloodline, Kallen possesses an innate high resistance to Honkai erosion. Coupled with her exceptional talent and monstrous strength, she passed the test at the age of sixteen and became the captain of Schicksal's anti-Honkai force—the Valkyrie Squad—becoming Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie at the time. Kallen then fought tirelessly on the front lines against Honkai, sealing over a thousand Honkai Beasts and greatly enhancing Schicksal's combat power. Otto praised her as 'the greatest Valkyrie in history.' To recognize her achievements, Schicksal equipped her with the exclusive weapon 'Judah's Oath' and she participated in Schicksal's expedition against the Ming Empire of Shenzhou. However, she was defeated by the immortals of Shenzhou in the Battle of Kipchak."
At this point, the blond man smiled slightly and looked at Gensou, saying:
"You know that immortal too."
"I know."
Gensou nodded and gestured for him to enter, but the man, sensing a change in Gensou's aura, quickly waved his hand and said:
"Don't misunderstand, that immortal is also my friend. I have no intention of threatening him. Ahem, getting back to the point, after being defeated, the immortal who recognized the 'Key of God' that Kallen used, Judah, left Kallen with a profound message."
'The weapon you wield exists to protect humanity. Those who haven't resolved to "protect" cannot unleash its true power. User of the "Key," think carefully… what is it that you truly wish to protect?'
Since then, Karen has been reflecting on her actions and destiny.
After suffering a defeat at the Battle of the Kipchak, the Emperor withdrew his troops from Europe. In order to make up for the heavy losses of the war, he issued "indulgences" to levy exorbitant taxes on the common people and suppressed the rebellious people everywhere.
Having witnessed the misery of ordinary people, Karen, inspired by a speaker resembling Shakespeare, conceives a Robin Hood-like idea. With Otto's help, she disguises herself as a phantom thief and infiltrates the mansion of Destiny official Victor, stealing valuables. However, her disguise is ineffective; he immediately recognizes her true identity. To deceive the public, Karen cleverly recites lines from Shakespeare's plays and distributes the stolen goods among the people. Later, while investigating the phantom thief's case with the Destiny Guardians, she feels guilty and defends the thief, resulting in a fierce conflict with the Guardians who firmly believe in Destiny's justice.
At this point, the blond man's expression changed slightly, and he stopped swirling his wine glass, saying softly:
"On one hand, Schicksal resists Honkai by sealing Honkai Beasts and developing anti-Honkai drugs. On the other hand, it is also secretly conducting research on the utilization of Honkai energy, including some inhumane experiments. Kallen accidentally witnessed a kidnapping incident while carrying out her phantom thief activities. She followed the clues to Victor's mansion and learned in the basement that Schicksal was conducting forbidden experiments on human Honkai energy."
Kallen was subsequently defeated and arrested by guards who arrived after hearing the news. Although she was later secretly released with Otto's protection, Kallen, having learned of the dark side of Schicksal, was deeply disappointed with the organization and clarified her own goals. She decided to return to Schicksal headquarters to retrieve the Honkai Energy Box to stop the experiments from continuing. At headquarters, she clashed with the guards again, ultimately defeating them with Otto's help and, with Otto's tacit approval, successfully escaping the organization with the box.
After escaping Europe, Kallen originally planned to travel to the Ming Empire in China to find the Honkai energy sealed in the Immortal's box. However, she discovered that Mount Taixu, where the Immortal resided, had been destroyed, and the Immortal was nowhere to be found. Later, she was pursued by Schicksal and forced to flee, sustaining serious injuries along the way. Finally, she escaped to Yae Village in the Far East, where she was rescued by the local priestess, Yae Sakura.
At this point, the blond man's expression went beyond mere contortion; one could only say that, given the opportunity, he would have devoured the table in front of him. Yet, he maintained his composure, coughing lightly and smiling at Gensou as he spoke:
"That past is too boring. In short, that foolish priestess unlocked the black box, causing the Honkai energy inside to be released. The great and noble Kallen couldn't bear to let her savior die there, so she fought hard. Although she won in the end, she was still caught by Schicksal and brought back."
"At the Schicksal organization's deliberation meeting, Kallen expressed her disdain and mockery of Schicksal. However, judging from Kallen's belongings, it can be inferred that Kallen may have deliberately made such a statement in order to seek death. Everyone in the deliberation meeting thought that Kallen had gone mad and decided to hang her. After Otto received the news, he released the Honkai Beasts that were originally imprisoned in Schicksal's underground, attempting to storm the execution ground and rescue Kallen in the chaos so that he could elope with her. However, unexpectedly, Kallen decided to fight the Honkai Beasts in order to protect civilians in the chaos. As a result, the weakened Kallen was killed by the Honkai Beasts in the battle."
"Please use it."
Seeing the blond man's grief, Gengo handed him a tissue, but the man shook his head. He appreciated Gengo's kindness, put down his glass, and looked directly at Gengo, saying:
"Mr. Gensho, what do you think of this story?"
“From the story you told, Karen Kaslana was indeed a remarkable woman.”
Yuanxiang thought for a moment and gave his assessment. As soon as he finished speaking, the boy saw the blond man in front of him nod happily, saying with a look that said, 'You have good taste, kid.'
“Not bad, not bad. Although the word ‘outstanding’ is not quite enough to describe Kallen’s existence, it is appropriate for those who have only heard her stories.”
Are you going to teach me the four ways to spell the name 'Kalen Kaslana' next?
Seeing the man's meticulous use of words, Yuanxiang couldn't help but mentally criticize him, then looked at the young man and said:
"Alright, Archbishop Otto, now that you've heard the story, what exactly did you call me here for?"
Now that things had come to this point, Yuanxiang understood the identity of the person in front of him, so he spoke frankly:
"Does this mean they want me to resurrect Miss Kallen?"
"nature."
Otto gazed intently at the boy before him. The moment Danzhu Cangxuan appeared at the Far East Branch, he had been unable to contain himself and had rushed here as quickly as possible to prepare for this meeting.
“I have lived for five hundred years. The years without Kallen have been meaningless to me, just torture. Fighting the Honkai is just a pastime for me. All I want now is Kallen’s resurrection, and I am willing to pay any price for it.”
At this point, Otto smiled and looked at Gensou, saying softly:
"Because you have resurrected Cangxuan and Danzhu, I can grant you a privilege: you may enjoy your reward first, and then I will fulfill my wish."
"I will destroy the Honkai."
Yuanxiang leaned back on the sofa and answered in a deep voice:
"This is my only wish in this world."
"That's great, then we're on the same side."
Otto maintained his smile, straightened his posture, and looked at Gensou, saying:
Do you know what imaginary space is?
The name "imaginary space" comes from the mathematical concept of "imaginary number," which is an auxiliary number in contrast to "real number." Everything in the real world is described using real numbers, which leads people to imagine what a world "described using imaginary numbers" would be like. Therefore, in a broad sense, any other world that exists in our imagination can be called imaginary space.
Gengo knew this definition. After learning that this world was part of two powerful entities—the Imaginary Tree and the Quantum Sea—Gengo did some research. However, in Fuuto, both the Imaginary Space and the Quantum Sea were theories that had not yet been conquered. Therefore, Gengo could not explain anything more specific.
"It's alright, I'll prepare all these things, don't worry."
Otto smiled gently at Gensou and said:
"If you really help me revive Kallen, then I'll be your best teammate. I'm glad we've reached an agreement. I'll discuss the next steps of our cooperation with you in more detail later. We can talk about more details and further discussions then. By the way..."
Otto Apocalypse, who was about to get up and leave, suddenly remembered something, coughed, and looked at Gensou, saying:
"Well, Theresa is indeed very cute, after all, she is my granddaughter, but... please be a little... a little gentler when you tease her. I've always spoiled her, so she rarely thinks about other things. Of course, I'm not interfering with her friendships, it's just that as her grandfather, I always have a little extra concern and worry for my child who is away from home. Well, that's all I have to say, Mr. Gensho. I look forward to our next meeting."
It is spatial capability.
Gensou watched as Otto suddenly disappeared, put down the peach juice in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the medical department. He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of help this Archbishop of Schicksal could bring to the elimination of the Honkai.
391 Walter Young, Sit-up
Cang Xuan Dan Zhu's examination was very successful. Although there were indeed some problems, they were all minor. Theresa patted her chest and said that such things were definitely not a problem for the medical technology of St. Freya Academy. Yuan Xiang happily applauded and celebrated for the two of them.
But after the celebration, Genji's expression became slightly serious. He quietly added Fu Hua, Cang Xuan, and Dan Zhu on 'Cyclone' and told them everything that had just happened between him and Otto. Upon hearing this, Fu Hua frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said softly:
"Otto... to be honest, I really can't see through him. He's very intelligent, unfathomably so. It must be admitted that without him, the Honkai's erosion and destruction of this world would probably be even more severe. He is indeed a person of merit, but some of his research and plans behind the scenes can definitely not be called righteous. He's a guy whose evaluation is easily polarized, but..."
At this point, Fu Hua gave a wry smile and said:
"His obsession with Kallen is beyond doubt. The reason I met Otto in the first place was that he hoped to find a way to revive Kallen from the immortals of Shenzhou. Over the years, a significant portion of Schicksal's activities have been carried out for this purpose. It is no exaggeration to say that he would not hesitate to make a deal with the Honkai and become a traitor to the entire civilization if he could only wait to achieve the goal of reviving Kallen."
"In other words, at least for now, he is a fairly reliable figure in our camp."
Yuanxiang thought for a moment, then said softly:
"If I can fulfill his wish, I can give him a portion of my trust and use his power to eliminate the Honkai."
"That's how it is in theory."
Fu Hua nodded, used the Feather of Dust to transmit knowledge about Otto to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, and then said with a solemn expression:
"But we must be careful. Otto never has only one plan in mind, and over the years, he has encountered countless people and methods that supposedly can 'resurrect' people. Most importantly..."
"Rather than relying on others, judging from the archbishop's style of doing things, he probably prefers to take the opportunities into his own hands."
Cang Xuan, a pioneer from a previous civilization, picked up where Fu Hua left off. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said earnestly:
“Yuanxiang, you need to be careful. That archbishop probably won’t stop here so easily. He might be secretly thinking about how to take away your abilities, or even force you to achieve your goal of resurrecting Kallen. Judging from the information Hua sent, this person is most likely capable of doing such a thing.”
"That's right, that's exactly what I wanted to remind you of."
Fu Hua nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly:
"Honestly, if I could, I really wouldn't want you to have anything to do with him."
"The power of destiny is necessary, my friend."
Yuanxiang smiled softly and said:
“You’re right. It’s wishful thinking to try to fight against a massive force that encompasses countless worlds by yourself. And you’ve heard what Bianca said: countless ‘me’s’ have died on the battlefield against the Honkai. That’s the best proof.”
"........."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hua suddenly sensed something was amiss, paused for a moment, then quickly pressed down on Yuan Xiang's shoulder, saying with a look of astonishment:
"Are you planning to target the Sea of Quanta and the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?"
"Ahem, everyone needs to have dreams, right?"
