The system handed me over to the state.

"I think...we need a weapon of mass production, and something cleaner than a nuclear weapon."

Old Yu stared at the terrain of Britain in front of him. Britain's terrain was not very good, with large areas of flat land, no mountains, and no natural geographical advantages.

If Britain were besieged, they would face a very serious situation; this defensive line... is simply too difficult to defend.

"So here's the question: how did they manage to defend such a wide defensive line? And... this message was transmitted over a wide area. Although it wasn't intercepted, it must have reached all the surrounding countries, and it's even very likely that it reached South America as well."

"Now, we can be basically certain that satellite images confirm that there is no war taking place in Britain. So what does the message from the other side, about being surrounded by shadows, mean?"

"What do you think happened?

Bronya shook her head; she wasn't sure either. Old Yu frowned, and after a few minutes, he shook his head and said, "It seems there's no other way... We'll transfer three gunships from the Honkai Outpost to conduct covert patrols over Europe and the United States."

"Um, are you sure?"

The adjutant looked somewhat surprised. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Does this count as invading someone else's territory?"

Old Yu blinked. "When did I say I was going to send our plane over there?"

Old Yu gave a signal with his eyes, and the adjutant immediately understood! A common tactic used by a certain country!

Chapter 225: Taming the Honkai

Is he ready?

"It's all ready. All our monitoring and restraint equipment is online and has completed its transformation. It's waiting for you."

Bronya nodded. "That's good. I have some questions I want to ask him."

"Ready to proceed, Major General Bronya."

Bronya stepped into the passage before her. After passing through a deep tunnel, Bronya arrived in a pure white space. The person sitting on the chair in the space was none other than the Void Archives in its simulated form.

The Void Archives still uses Otto's image. Bronya hasn't told Theresa about the existence of the Void Archives during this time because she still has some questions that need to be answered.

"You've come..."

Yes, I've arrived.

Bronya nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down in front of the Void Archives. "I have a question for you: Otto... where did he go?"

Void Treasury raised its head, its expression full of sighs, "Otto... he went to a place... where we will never see him again."

"I'm not worried about those things... Did Otto leave anything behind before he left? Or... a last message or something like that?"

Void Treasury remained silent for a moment, then quietly took out a golden cube and placed it on the table. "He left nothing behind. I don't even know what he did to the Imaginary Tree... But I recorded the entire process of his departure. If you want to see it..."

Bronya picked up the golden cube in front of her, took a deep breath, and began to browse the records inside...

Half an hour later, Bronya put down the cube in her hand, shook her head and said, "Even if he did these things, my evaluation of him will not change. He did many things that can be remembered by history, but that does not mean that the crimes he committed can be replaced or erased."

"So now... I'm asking you very seriously, is he still alive?"

Bronya tapped the table; this was her biggest concern: was Otto still alive?

"Dead...dead from soul to body...I didn't escape from him; he abandoned me, that's why I left him..."

Void Treasury revealed everything directly. After more than half a year in this place, he had completely realized his situation and understood what he could do now.

"Dead... Is he really dead?"

Bronya remained skeptical of Void Archives' words. Void Archives nodded and laughed, "Hahaha... Yes, he's dead. I always thought I was manipulating him, controlling him, but... after I came to my senses, I realized I couldn't live without him."

"Even I... have become like him. He made me fail so utterly... hahaha..."

Looking at the Void Archives, which resembled a defeated dog, Bronya sighed. Otto was truly formidable, having completely transformed the Void Archives, the first divine key of the previous civilization, into his own shape. Even Otto himself admitted that he couldn't change it.

"Well... I've asked all my questions. In exchange, you can ask me some questions you want to know."

Bronya made a deal. It was simple: she didn't intend to just interrogate Void Archives. The existence of Void Archives itself was also a benefit to Shenzhou. So, if she could teach it properly and change its mind, it might be able to be used by Shenzhou.

This is Bronya's idea...

After a moment of silence, Void Treasury raised its head and looked directly into Bronya's eyes, asking, "Who... are you?"

Bronya sighed. "I thought you already knew about this... I didn't expect you didn't know either?"

“During my time here, I have learned very little about you. Your supervisors have been monitoring me very closely, and I have no right to obtain anything that I could use to learn about you.”

"So... tell me, who exactly are you? I know you are Bronya from another world, but... can you already travel back and forth between worlds in the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

Bronya rubbed her chin. "You can think of it that way. We do have that kind of power, and if possible, I hope you can change your mindset. You can't be locked up here forever."

"If you want to get out, then you need to change your mindset. This world is not broken, nor does it need you to destroy it."

"The existence of Honkai is intertwined with civilization. Perhaps it only exists on planets, but we have no need to fear them. When you regard Honkai as energy or as a special kind of existence, your views may change. Honkai may indeed be a kind of test for civilization, but it is also a gift of civilization."

"But Honkai only exists on planets. You should think more about whether there is any way to use Honkai as an interstellar resource."

Void Archives stared at Bronya in astonishment. "You... treat Honkai... as... a resource?"

Bronya nodded. "Yes, we treat Honkai as a temporary energy resource. After all, it's an energy source limited to a planet. Even if we can store it and take it away from the planet, the production output won't be high."

"But if you could transform Honkai into a harmless and efficiently mass-producible special energy source, wouldn't you feel like you have a goal?"

Void Archives stared blankly at Bronya, then shook its head, asking in surprise, "You want me to... research this transformation? To convert Honkai energy into a harmless and safe energy source?"

Bronya nodded, agreeing with Void Archives' statement. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Void Archives burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Do you know what? In the past tens of thousands of years, you are the first people I have encountered who treat the Honkai with such an attitude."

"That's really... arrogant! The Honkai is uncontrollable and unstable. How could it be controlled? The Honkai can never become harmless. They will continue to develop with the goal of destroying civilization. Even so, do you still hold this view?"

"What if we already have a preliminary method to convert Honkai energy into harmless energy?"

Void Treasury's eyes widened instantly. "What did you say?"

"I said, we already have a preliminary implementation plan for this technology, so...would you like to join us?"

"If we can render the collapse of the entire world harmless, then in a sense, does collapse cease to exist?"

Chapter 226: I'm not a child anymore!

After Bronya left the room, she unexpectedly saw Blackie at the door. Upon seeing Bronya, Blackie immediately grabbed Bronya's wrist and said, "Are you serious about what you said? To neutralize the destruction of the entire planet."

"Honkai is a special selection mechanism on the Imaginary Tree. Only worlds that pass the test can continue to live on the branches, while those that fail will perish or be exiled."

"If you're going to do that, it's like you're going to fight against the Imaginary Tree. You'd have to render the entire Imaginary Tree harmless to do that. Do you think you're even more capable than that madman Otto?"

Bronya paused, "What...did you just say?"

Hei hope tilted her head. "Did I just say something?"

Bronya was slightly confused for a moment, then shook her head. "Nothing... Where were we?"

"You said... you talked to Void Treasury about some interesting things, aren't you going to tell me about them?"

Bronya didn't expose the hint of panic in Blackie's words. She realized that Blackie might know something about Otto, but she didn't confront her directly. She planned to wait and let Blackie tell her herself.

"Actually, there wasn't much. We just talked about some interesting things about the Honkai. Oh, by the way, how about we go to the residence?"

"What's matter?"

Hei hope asked in confusion, and Bronya nodded, taking out a golden cube. "I have something that I must give to Theresa and the others. They need to know the truth."

Bronya's voice was somewhat low. To be honest, she was also somewhat shocked when she learned the truth. In 500 years, Otto changed the whole world and everyone for that one person. He succeeded. He did it. He gave his life for another.

"Sigh... My feelings are a bit complicated. I really don't know what to say. He is indeed a villain, an utterly wicked person, but her obsession with Karen really... moves me."

Bronya shook her head, her eyes slightly red. She had poured a lot of emotion into Otto and all the characters in the Honkai series. Every animated short she watched resonated with her.

Sirin's appearance was stunning, Kiana's transformation brought tears to my eyes, but Otto... she didn't get to see the short animated film of Otto's ending, and now, knowing the true ending, she couldn't help but feel... a great deal of respect for Otto, this villain.

"Ha, just a villain. No matter how infatuated he was, he was still a villain. History will not change its opinion of him because of his obsession and feelings. He caused so many tragedies, so many heroes died because of him, so many people lost their lives because of him, and so many people lost their happy families."

"You know very well how much tragedy Seele, Kiana, and the others have gone through because of Otto, don't you?"

Bronya nodded. "I know, it's just a bit of a sigh... Let's go, take this to Theresa. For Theresa, Otto was her most beloved grandfather. Now that Otto's whereabouts are completely clear, it's a relief."

Next, Bronya brought Blackie to the outpost, and today, Kiana was the one resting there.

Upon seeing Bronya for the first time, Kiana smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Bronya."

Good afternoon, Kiana. You look much more mature now.

She had originally thought that Kiana would rush up and hug her excitedly, but she didn't expect her to be so mature and composed.

"Of course, I've grown up now, I'm not the impulsive girl I used to be, but... is something the matter?"

Kiana's gaze fell on the golden cube in Bronya's hand, and she sensed from it... Honkai energy... Was it some kind of Honkai energy weapon?

Bronya nodded, glanced at Bronya still lying on the bedside, and walked to the bedside angrily, flicking his forehead hard. "Hmph! You little rascal, how long are you going to sleep?"

"Alright, Kiana, let's leave for a bit. We need to go over there together. There are some things I need to leave to you. The medical staff can look after this place."

"oh oh...."

Kiana nodded. "Is it...that thing? What is it?"

Bronya tossed the golden cube directly to Kiana. Kiana caught the golden cube in a flustered manner and looked at Bronya with a puzzled expression.

"You can take a look first, but after you've finished reading... please control your emotions, whether it's surprise or anger, okay?"

"Hmm...don't worry, I've managed to control myself."

Kiana nodded and began browsing the information inside the golden cube. Half an hour later, when Kiana opened her eyes again, her expression was extremely complicated. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Bronya reached out her hand, and the golden cube floated back into her palm automatically. "How do you feel?"

"I'm a little... at a loss for words..."

Kiana scratched her head in frustration, then sighed, "I... I really don't know what to say... Let's just leave it at that..."

"I... well, he's already dead anyway. Death is the biggest price to pay. I don't think I need to dwell on this anymore."

Kiana quickly came to terms with it. In her view, Otto had already paid the ultimate price by dying, so she stopped worrying about not being able to kill him.

Next, the three of them headed to the teleportation channel and were teleported to the Honkai Outpost.

Here, the Schicksal and Outpost organizations continue to cooperate in the fight against the Honkai Beasts and the harsh environment, striving to restore this place.

The Destiny faction is managed and operated by Archbishop Theresa, while the Honkai Outpost is commanded by the designated commander from Shenzhou.
