Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Let's skip the polite words. I'm here to get the things." Wang Xuanqiao glanced at Youlan Dai'er, who was rushing over. "By the way, I'll ask about the information fee. Have you decided on the price?"

"Of course I'm ready." Otto's smile remained unchanged. He put one hand behind his back and extended the other hand towards Yulandel, who was not far away. "I guess you are looking for treasures left behind by the previous civilization, so I decided to give you the Black Abyss White Flower, the divine key of the previous civilization."

"As for the thing you mentioned, feel free to tell me what it is. If it truly doesn't belong to Heaven's Mandate, I will naturally offer it to you."

Otto's eyes rolled slightly. It's said that when people think quickly, they make these little movements subconsciously, even without the person noticing.

"But if it already has an owner, I hope we can still adhere to the principle of fair trade. But don't worry, we are friends after all, so the price can be discussed casually, right?"

Wang Xuanqiao did not answer, but just smiled back.

Yulandel, wearing Valkyrie armor, has arrived. Holding the Key of God, Black Abyss and White Flower, she is ready to play the role with the strongest combat power of destiny at any time.

This was the second stage of Otto's plan. He offered the Black Abyss White Flower as a reward, and then had it brought here by a Valkyrie who could perfectly control it, creating a situation where he could either advance or retreat.

Otto must have believed that with Yulandel, Tianming's strongest Valkyrie, and the Divine Key, they could buy some time even if the conversation ended and they were forced to fight. He even optimistically thought that Yulandel might be able to turn the tide and win.

This destined bishop did indeed put together a deck of cards in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, Wang Xuanqiao was not at the table.

"To tell you the truth, you guessed wrong."

Wang Xuanqiao also kept smiling, but just shook his head.

"I don't need any treasures left behind by previous civilizations, and what I want to take is definitely not destiny. Oh, I guess you're wondering now if the thing I'm talking about is that giant mecha, but unfortunately, it's not."

Otto still maintained a relaxed and elegant demeanor.

"This is puzzling to me, friend," he said, pretending to be thoughtful. "Is there anything in the Skyman Headquarters that doesn't belong to Skyman? You even excluded the Father Mecha. This really makes me confused."

"Why don't you just tell me, my friend, what do you want?"

Wang Xuanqiao cast his gaze directly on Youlandel.

Yulandel, who was standing sentry nearby, frowned slightly.

"Oh? Is that so?" Otto also looked at Yulandel. "This is indeed not part of Destiny, but the Valkyries of Destiny all chose to join Destiny of their own will. I don't have the power to give her to you."

"Just have her take the Black Abyss White Flower to Hyperion to report. Otherwise, it would be a shame if this most powerful person in destiny couldn't participate in the final battle."

The word "end" finally changed Otto's expression.

And Yulandel changed her previous expressionless face and showed a look of doubt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xuanqiao released Yu Duchen without leaving any trace.

"Why, isn't Destiny, who was born to fight Honkai, willing to do so?" He quickly added, "Victory over Honkai is imminent. Destiny has fought all the way here, so we can't miss this final battle, right?"

Yulandel immediately turned her head and looked at Otto, the meaning was self-evident.

Otto, of course, noticed the gaze and knew he would have to transfer this capable general. Regardless of whether the news of the victory over Honkai was true or not, he couldn't let it spread in Tianming now.

"Very well then." Otto forced a smile, but said with his back to Yulandel, "Then you should leave immediately. Hyperion is in Haiyuan City now."

After Youlandel was sent away, only Wang Xuanqiao and Otto were left in this "temporary venue".

"I have to admit that I underestimated you." Otto seemed to no longer want to keep smiling, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

"The End, that is an existence that previous civilizations could not contend with even if they tried their best. And you, actually, don't even take it seriously?" He stared at Wang Xuanqiao, trying hard to see that it was a lie.

The indifference in Wang Xuanqiao's eyes clearly told Otto that it was not a lie.

For the first time in his life, Otto once again tasted the feeling of despair. He had experienced that feeling only a few times in his long life: once when he witnessed Kallen's death, and another when he realized that Kallen could not be resurrected.

This time, the last hope is on the verge of collapse.

Silence suddenly fell here. Seeing that Otto could no longer control his expression, Wang Xuanqiao turned around and prepared to leave.

"Why......"

At this moment, a voice that was no longer gentle came out of Otto's mouth.

Wang Xuanqiao stopped and glanced back at him.

"I tried every possible way to save her, even praying for every possible miracle in the world. But I didn't get any response, not even a little bit of comfort."

"I endured all of this and continued my long search, hoping to discover Eureka, buried in the truth. Finally, I did find a glimmer of hope. I had the opportunity to touch her fate and change it..."

"But why, why did no one respond when I prayed for a miracle! And now, just when I was about to create a miracle for her, someone like you appeared!"

Otto's expression looked a little frightened. But from the information between the lines of his words, Wang Xuanqiao quickly pieced together Otto's inner thoughts and understood why he had lost his composure at that moment.

I have to say, encountering this kind of thing is really frustrating. A lifelong dream is about to be fulfilled, but suddenly a strong man appears out of nowhere and shatters everything.

If placed in a cultural and creative story, this situation is called deus ex machina, which not only makes the villain's mentality explode, but sometimes even affects the audience's perception.

"If that's the case, then you should blame yourself for resurrecting the Herrscher of the Void." Wang Xuanqiao thought for a moment and replied, "When you're willing to trample on others for your own goals, you should be mentally prepared."

"Besides, isn't a fate even more unreasonable than mine still hanging over your heads? You can't just ignore it because you've figured out its rules like a fool, right?"

Bang, bang!

Otto suddenly clapped his hands.

"You're right, my friend." He seemed to have recovered from his emotion. "I lost this time. I lost miserably in front of you. But I won't accept it. Fate has played such a cruel joke on me. I won't give in to this."

Another ridiculous fate? Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it difficult to admit your mistakes?" He looked at Otto. "It seems you don't have the qualifications to say such nice things, do you?"

"It's not fate playing a cruel joke on you, but justice making the right judgment on you. This is the way the world should be. If something is not right, someone will naturally change it."

Otto laughed out loud for a moment, and that laughter was playful and mocking.

"Fair? If the world was supposed to be this way, I wouldn't have ended up like this. And the person who died back then definitely shouldn't have been her!"

"So who is she?" Wang Xuanqiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "If she truly has the qualifications to accuse me of injustice, I will naturally restore the justice she deserves."

Volume 063: : Otto's obsession dissipated

Kallen's life was short, so short that it could be summed up in one sentence: 'She was a good person'.

Kallen's life was long, so long that a man named Otto could not get over the day she left him even in his entire life.

This is the story of 'her', the former saint of destiny, Kallen Kaslana, as Otto calls her.

"Well? Does she deserve the justice you mentioned?" Otto ended the heroic biography he had described for Kallen thousands of times, like a bard who once followed a brave man, always expecting the audience to cheer for the hero after the curtain call.

Wang Xuanqiao, however, turned his gaze towards the entire floating island of Tianming.

Perhaps, only at this height can we be closer to heaven...

"That's enough," Wang Xuanqiao said gravely. "However, you also bear the debt of her life. If you want justice for her, you must pay for your sins."

Otto couldn't help but laugh, feeling relieved.

"As long as she comes back, I'd be fine even if I died a thousand times," he said, suddenly clenching his fists. "That's what I deserve. I've been prepared for it."

"All my persistence is for this moment!"

"Not bad." Wang Xuanqiao nodded. "At least now you act like a man. So, if this era can't give you justice, I will give it to you. The rules are simple: she lives, you die."

"Finally, do you have any last words?"

Wang Xuanqiao turned around and walked slowly towards Otto.

"I have no last words, only one question." He placed his hand gently on his chest, but the body had no heartbeat, which made Otto feel a little regretful. "Will the one who comes back be the real her?"

"Unless your soul attracts another Kallen." Wang Xuanqiao smiled gently, "otherwise there won't be a second person."

"I have no problem." Otto bent slightly and bowed. "Then let me, a soul stained with vileness and sin, pave the bridge for her return to this world."

"Hopefully, she won't find the bridge too ugly."

Wang Xuanqiao stopped talking and stretched out his hand towards Otto.

The power that hadn't been used on Yingjie was now perfectly suited for Kallen. Whether it was a legacy of will left in this world or an anchor to guide souls, nothing was more suitable than Otto's soul.

Just as I said before, Kallen lives and Otto dies.

In reality, this was a cruel trade of life. To save one life, there was a high probability that another would be sacrificed. Wang Xuanqiao was willing to use his power on the Yingjie because their memories could serve as a weight, balancing the scales of life.

"You may or may not feel pain afterwards; it depends on the individual. But generally speaking, it's like a whip from hell. Anyone who is guilty will suffer."

As soon as Wang Xuanqiao finished speaking, Otto felt a tearing pain sweeping through his body in an instant.

But despite the intense pain, Otto couldn't help but laugh, and even started laughing out loud.

Because he knew that his body at this moment was absolutely unable to transmit this kind of pain. Therefore, these tearing, crushing, and piercing feelings must come from the mind, from the soul!

This man hadn't deceived himself! Although Otto was experiencing great pain, he was still extremely happy.

Kallen, she will really return to this world!

Otto couldn't help but look at a place where the white coffin was placed, and it was also where he thought Kallen would return.

Ah, the human heart is indeed greedy, Otto couldn't help but think.

I should have been completely satisfied with this outcome. I just didn't expect that at this moment, I would actually long to see you again...

But Otto's vision was completely blurred. Darkness came from all directions, like fog covering the entire world.

Even if Kallen was standing in front of him at this moment, he completely lost the ability to look at her again.

In a trance, Otto seemed to hear a familiar whisper in the endless darkness.

That is......

He tried to see, but his sight had been taken away from him, his sense of touch had been lost, and the only sense that still remained was his faint hearing.

The carefully crafted body completely lost control and fell to the ground with a heavy bang, just like all the burdens its owner had been carrying in the past.

Wang Xuanqiao, who was in charge of this "life transaction", narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that Otto actually kept Kallen's body. The soul that was extradited back had to return to its original body.

In other words, Otto is bound to miss Kallen again.

However, I don't think he would care about such things.

Because the life of this destined bishop has come to an end. Everything he expected and desired has been realized, and the regrets that it could not be perfect are the retribution that Otto deserves.

In Otto Apokalis's last moments, Wang Xuanqiao asked him a question.

"Now, will you obey the verdict given you by justice?"

The soul that was about to dissipate into the world smiled...

A moment later, Fu Hua, having regained control of her body, rushed back. She saw Otto's body kneeling on the ground. After a long silence, she cast a complicated look at Wang Xuanqiao.

"You...killed him?" Fu Hua asked.

"It was justice that killed him." Wang Xuanqiao looked towards the place where Kallen's soul had returned. "He himself admitted it."

After saying that, he looked at Fu Hua again. At this time, Fu Hua was wearing the old-fashioned uniform of Saint Freya Academy, but underneath the uniform was Tianming's most advanced Moon Wheel Armor.

"But you, you came straight here? There's no clone watching you over there?"

Fu Hua shook his head.

"No, Otto only set up data monitoring on the life support module and didn't deploy any guards. I left after I regained control of my body. The road was very quiet, and there wasn't a single Valkyrie. It seemed like they had all been transferred away by Otto."

Wang Xuanqiao sighed. In a sense, Otto had indeed protected his Valkyries well when faced with the prospect of unnecessary sacrifice.

"In that case, you can send him off for the last time." He looked at the body on the ground and said to Fu Hua.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. You can do that, right?"

Fu Hua lowered her eyes and nodded silently.

------

Kallen Kaslana felt as if she had slept for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have had such a long dream.

But there was nothing in that dream, only a blank white space. She kept wandering in that emptiness until a fact suddenly came to her mind: Karen Kaslana was dead.

Yes, my life was over. In that small town's execution ground, right between the Honkai beasts and the people.
