Behind-the-scenes video of the beginning of Honkai.

"Did you spot it? But it's too late, Nemesis!"

A tiny hand pierced directly through the heart of Kiana's body, which Nemesis was possessing. Logically, such physical damage should have no effect on Nemesis, but this simple attack inflicted real harm on Nemesis.

"It's you?" Kevin, who was opposite Nemesis, also noticed the person who had attacked Nemesis and showed a rare expression of shock. "Theresa, the director of Chaldea, it's you!"

Indeed, the camera panned to Theresa, who was the one who ambushed Nemesis. However, Theresa now wore a cunning expression that she had never shown before.

"Is it Kevin? You didn't expect that, did you? The one who orchestrated all of this was me!"

"However, I still have to thank you for attracting Nemesis's attention, otherwise I might not have been able to outmaneuver this vengeful goddess."

When Theresa saw Kevin, she wore the expression only a mastermind would show after successfully orchestrating a plot.

Chapter 435 On this day, the entire Imaginary Tree knew the name Theresa.

Jingyuan: "I never expected that the one who plotted all of this was actually this Ms. Theresa. What a superb acting skill."

Upon seeing this, Jing Yuan already knew that Kevin and the vengeful goddess Nemesis were on a level that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals like them. If it weren't for the live broadcast obscuring their view, they could probably destroy their world countless times with just a glance.

March 7: "I thought Theresa was a good person, but it turns out it was all an act."

Zhongli: "It seems that Miss Theresa from that world is another possibility; she is the one who caused this great danger."

Ying: "How insidious. It seems everyone in that world has been fooled by you, Theresa."

Seeing this, everyone was terrified of Theresa's insidious and ruthless nature. She schemed for her own selfish desires, and just considering how many worlds Theresa indirectly caused Kevin and Nemesis to destroy, she was a terrifying woman.

At that moment, Theresa's name spread throughout the Imaginary Tree and beyond, making her a being who could stop a child from crying simply by saying her name.

Theresa: "No, that's impossible! I, the headmistress, would never do such a thing! This is definitely not me!"

Seeing herself with that expression, Theresa felt an unprecedented sense of alienation.

At the same time, he felt sad about his reputation. Now he was famous all over the world, but unfortunately, it was not a good reputation.

Kiana: "Auntie, I believe you!"

Theresa: "My dear niece, I knew my period hadn't been so good to you for nothing."

Hearing Kiana's words, Theresa couldn't help but shed tears of emotion. She truly is my good niece. Even if the world doesn't want to believe me, my dear niece still believes in me, bringing me a touch of warmth.

I wish my niece would not abandon me, and I, her aunt, would gladly offer myself... Of course, this is impossible, as Theresa is in love with Cecilia.

Seeing how well-behaved her niece was, her aunt decided to give her more pocket money next month.

However, Kiana's next words immediately broke Theresa's defenses.

Kiana: "Auntie, I believe that's just a possibility. I was wrong to think Auntie wasn't smart before. Although the possibility of Auntie is terrible, I will definitely not let Auntie go astray."

Theresa: "Stop, stop, stop! Are you trying to drive your period crazy?!"

You're making things worse by saying this. She already said that this person isn't her, and you're still saying it's a possibility.

Captain: "Is there any possibility that Theresa has this talent? I didn't see it in Theresa before?"

Stargazer (Captain's Line): "What? You look down on Theresa?"

Moonlight (Captain's Line): "Stare..."

teriri (Captain's Line): "Stare..."

"Human, get your hand out of my way!"

Even though Nemesis was under Theresa's control, she remained outwardly calm.

Having lived for so long, what hasn't Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, seen?

Well, I've never seen anything like it before. I was actually outmaneuvered by this mortal who I could easily kill.

Despite Nemesis's outward calm, he was actually experiencing rare emotional fluctuations.

There are many kinds of gods. Some are deities who rise from the mortal realm, while others are born gods. Godhood can be a power or a level of existence.

But there are no exceptions. Unless they have truly erased their emotions, like those rule-following gods who can only act like machines, all gods simply express emotions more or less.

Through endless time, endless knowledge, and endless power, the emotions of these gods of different ranks will be worn down by the years and become difficult to express again.

Different people may express the same thing in different ways. Some gods are afraid of death, just like mortals, but others take life and death lightly, just like those wise people who are mortals but whose thoughts are on a different level.

Just like Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, she was a primordial deity, born omniscient and omnipotent. This boredom led her to become weary of herself, and so, after a long time, she chose to commit suicide, transforming into seven Infinity Stones, each possessing a different power.

The fact that He feels bored proves that He has emotions, but because of His immense power and boundless knowledge, He hides his other emotions, showing only interest in the unknown.

However, these emotions can also arise when encountering someone of the same level. After all, you can ignore something you can easily crush, but you cannot ignore someone who is on the same level as you.

But the same emotions can also arise in another situation, such as the current situation, when you are humiliated or schemed against by someone weaker than yourself.

So, for the first time in a long period of time, Nemesis felt annoyed that he had been outmaneuvered by a human.

Nemesis also wanted to break free from Theresa's restraints, but unfortunately, the power within him kept him firmly trapped in Kiana's mortal body.

"It's no use, Nemesis. I've been scheming for so long, how could I let you break free so easily?"

"The six Infinity Stones you absorbed were carefully prepared for you, specifically for you primordial gods. If you hadn't absorbed them, you could have easily annihilated me."

"But now that you're trapped inside a human being named Kiana Kaslana and unable to regain your original power, you'd better hand over all your power."

Theresa coldly stared at the "Kiana" before her. Her hand appeared to pierce only the body, but in reality, it also pierced the soul. She now needed to extract the self-gem formed from the knowledge and soul of the vengeful goddess Nemesis, which was hiding in Kiana's soul. Only in this way could she proceed to the next step.

"Human, you're asking for death!"

The golden gem of self also appeared in Kiana's heart, and Theresa successfully forced it out; it's time to accept the reward.

"Don't think about it!"

The Ego Stone burst forth with golden light. Even though it hadn't fully reclaimed the power of the Infinity Stones, the Ego Stone, representing only the will of Nemesis, was not to be underestimated. It wanted to force Theresa's hand back.

After leaving this place, given the opportunity, with Nemesis's wisdom, He will eventually break free from the bondage and leave this body that binds Him. At that time, He will surely destroy this world that dares to anger Him.

"it's useless!"

However, Theresa suppressed Nemesis's power and grabbed the Self-Gem, pulling it out of the body little by little.

Although Nemesis wanted to leave, it wasn't the right time. He knew what would happen to him if he fell into Theresa's hands. After all, Theresa had been eyeing his power and plotting for so long. Thinking of this, he resisted even more fiercely.

"Nemesis, let me tell you why you've ended up like this: it's all because of your own arrogance."

"As the original goddess of divine punishment, you are inherently omniscient and omnipotent. If you simply ignore the cause and effect between Kiana and you, and if you are willing to use your omniscience and omnipotence, you can easily destroy my plan from the root."

"But I bet you wouldn't use it, and the result was obvious. I bet right. Because of your strength, your knowledge, and your wisdom, all of this gave you the confidence to be arrogant, to think that no one could outmaneuver you, and that you could solve anything in an instant."

"And now I'm telling you, nothing is impossible. These are the words of a mechanical life form that one of my clown counterparts said to me, and they apply to you as well."

"Nemesis, you have lived for a long time, but far too long, always living in your own cage."

"Invincible power makes you arrogant, endless knowledge makes you disdainful of everything, and the unknown and the interesting are the poison of boredom and gods for someone like you."

"So now it's time to relinquish your power and become the cornerstone of my plan—Nemesis!"

Theresa's body also began to change, reverting to "her"—or rather, "his"—true form: Otto Apocalypse, the true mastermind behind it all.

Chapter 436 Infinite Otto Makes His Debut

Theresa: "Grandpa, you actually dressed up as me!"

Seeing this, Theresa was dumbfounded. She originally thought that the reason why she was so terrifying in this world was due to her environment, but now she realized that she was actually her grandfather in disguise. Grandpa, are you a cross-dresser? And you're even dressed up as your granddaughter.

Fortunately, her image has been salvaged.

Kiana (Honkai Impact 2): "Good grief, it really was Otto! That bastard Otto never does anything good!"

Tesla: "As expected of you, Otto! You never do anything productive in any world, and this time you even impersonated your granddaughter Theresa. You're really something!"

Otto: "Well... it's all a misunderstanding. I could never play Theresa. After all, I still have my pride."

Of course, if it's something very important that requires him to dress up as Theresa, Otto will still do it, but of course, this can't be said out loud.

Rakshasa: "..."

"Otto, it's you?" Kevin was also surprised that Theresa was actually Otto in disguise. "You've been hiding it really well. I didn't even realize it until now."

"Not at all, not at all, I owe my success to your help, Kevin."

Otto smiled in response. This was a crucial time for him to extract the Gem of Self. He had to focus all his energy on Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance. He couldn't afford any distractions, or all his carefully planned schemes would be for naught.

"Although I don't know what Otto intends to do with the Self-Gem of Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, I won't let you succeed."

Kevin knew that Otto and Nemesis were both bad people, so he planned to take advantage of their conflict to kill them both.

Clang!

The divine power of the Heavenly Fire resonated softly, and then a flash of light appeared, slaying the two men with the sword.

However, Otto remained indifferent and extended his other hand, taking out something that resembled the Cosmic Cube, also a blue cube.

It created an invincible defensive layer around them, blocking Kevin's attack.

"This is the Cosmic Cube?! No wonder you were so confident in taking my power."

Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, also recognized the blue cube in Otto's hand as the Cosmic Cube.

The Cosmic Cube is a powerful artifact that can fulfill the desires of its owner. From controlling elements to manipulating space and time and transcending logic, everything can be made a reality. The so-called infinite energy is just one of its most basic functions.

An incomplete cosmic cube possesses power that surpasses omniscience and omnipotence, exceeding all human imagination. The most powerful cube can even erase and rebuild an omnipotent universe.

But this treasure is different from the others; it is alive, possesses its own consciousness, and can even take human form.

The fact that these creatures have a will means that the Cosmic Cubes may not always obey the owner's will. Sometimes, they may have their own little schemes, and even devouring their owners is a piece of cake.

The transcendent being in the Marvel multiverse is the Cosmic Cube.

Of course, Otto also obtained the Cosmic Cube here, but it is obvious from Otto's appearance that he has completely subjugated the Cosmic Cube and mastered its power.

Otto was able to force out Nemesis's Self-Gemstone, not only through his schemes but also thanks to the power of the Cosmic Cube.

"..."

Kevin stopped attacking after realizing that his attacks couldn't break through the defense.

He knew that if Otto succeeded, Otto would definitely not let him go, but Kevin had no other choice now.

The endless river of time unfolded majestically, and Kevin, moving swiftly through time and space, chose to leave this place.

"Did you run away? But where do you think you could run to?"
