Collapse, the beginning will avoid 500 years of detours

She had an inexplicable feeling.

She subconsciously quickened her pace, but Otto immediately walked side by side with her again. At this time, the End Worm found that Otto had been matching her speed. Her eyes fell on Otto's feet, watching him step on his own shadow step by step.

When the shadow leaned to the side, the Endworm quickly stepped forward, tiptoed, and stepped on Otto's shadow's head with its toes.

　Lingmeng Luanlin Bar House Lingjiu Sanliu "Hehe."

She couldn't help but smile happily.

It’s hard to imagine that a few months ago, this girl killed herself just like kicking a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

Seeing her fairy-like bright smile, Otto's heart beat faster.

But unfortunately, they soon arrived at the Central Church, and the Endworm stepped on Otto's shadow, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the church in front of him with some nostalgia.

Otto looked at her.

I'm afraid she has left many beautiful memories here.

"When I failed my exams in the past, Himeko-sensei always asked me to come and clean up here, but Mei and Bronya would come and help me."

Well, it looks like the memories aren't very good.

But...Teacher Jizi?

Otto thought of Himeko, whom he knew. Could it be that in the original history, Ragnar and her stormtroopers were wiped out, but Himeko escaped and became a teacher at St. Freya's Academy?

But if that's the case, did Jizi know at the time that it was her students who took the lives of her beloved captain and teammates?

Otto glanced at the End Worm and didn't ask tactlessly.

The shadows of the two overlapped as they walked into the central church. In the dim church, their shadows merged into the darkness, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

"The candlestick is still here. I accidentally knocked it over. I almost got away with it, but Bronya reported me to my face."

The darkness was as bright as day to the two of them, and when Otto heard Bronya's name, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Although the Endworm complained, she didn't seem to hate Bronya.

The End Worm reminisced about her experiences, but inevitably, she felt a sense of loneliness. Here, only she knew everything she had experienced, and the only one who knew her was...

The Endworm looked at Otto.

These days, she and Otto are getting along quite happily.

Perhaps she should thank Otto for spending night after night with her and making her realize that she was not alone.

"Let me see, here."

Otto brought the End Worm to a place in the church. After passing the identity verification, an entrance opened and the End Worm's eyes lit up. There was a place here that she didn't know.

The passage was pitch black. Otto walked into the passage first, followed closely by the End Worm. As they entered, the entrance was closed again.

Walking on the spiral staircase, the Endworm was not afraid of the darkness around her, but she had a disgusting feeling. This place... didn't seem like a serious place.

Why did Otto bring me here?

Just an adventure?

In fact, the End Worm can use the power of the End, so it would be easy for it to know the answer, but she didn't do it, just like she didn't use perspective to see what gift Otto gave her.

Otto didn't feel anything strange, because he already knew what was here, but he thought it would be better to call the End Worm instead of dealing with it alone.

Soon the two reached the end of the stairs. The Endworm was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was an empty space under the church, and at the other end of the space, a door blocked the two of them.

The heavy, cold metal door closed tightly, and the Endworm frowned. She roughly guessed where this place was.

"laboratory?"

As someone who has experienced this, the End Worm finally realized where the uncomfortable feeling came from.

This is probably the laboratory of some mad scientist.

The Endworm glanced at Otto.

"Ah."

Otto responded. This was a place he accidentally found while browsing the information about St. Freya's Academy. It was a top-secret place within St. Freya's Academy. Even Theresa, the principal, did not have the authority to enter.

Of course, nothing about destiny was a secret to Otto.

Through scanning, the authority of the Bishop of Destiny was verified, and the originally closed door opened to both sides. A strong smell of long-forgotten dust came over, and just as the End Worm guessed, this was a laboratory.

Otto, who was standing at the door, pressed the switch beside the door, and the light in the laboratory came on, illuminating the inside.

What caught the eye were the conspicuous cylindrical devices embedded side by side in the wall. Through the transparent covers, one could see a human figure in each device.

On the transparent cover, there is a string of English words displayed——

【SIRIN PROJECT】

SIRIN.

Siren.

The Endworm stared at the figure inside the device, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

In the life support cabin, the girl's eyes were tightly closed, her beautiful eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, her nose was high and straight, her lips were white and bright, her dreamy face was as white as snow and jade, and her long hair that reached her hips was like a galaxy that was overturned, competing with the light reflected on her fair skin.

"Otto!!!"

The End Worm roared at the top of her lungs and looked at Otto angrily.

Whenever she tried to show Otto some respect, he would always give her some big job!

At last, the insect's eyes were about to burst.

Because, the girl in each device had a face somewhat similar to hers, and that face and name were once deeply imprinted in the memory of the End Worm——

Cecilia Shaniat.

Even if the Endworm is slow, it should know that these are clones of the once strongest Valkyrie Cecilia Shaniat.

"What did you do to Cecilia's mother?!"

The End Worm grabbed Otto's collar, and her earrings made a slight sound with her violent movements. The End Worm did not punch him, but stared at Otto, wanting the latter to give her an answer.

Even though his collar was grabbed, Otto did not get angry. Although he had some difficulty breathing, he continued to speak without changing his expression.

"This is what's left of Project Xilin."

He recalled the records he had read before.

"In order to create a body that could house the core of the Second Herrscher, I previously chose Kiana Kaslana, who possessed the bloodlines of Shaniat and Kaslana, and created the K-series clones..."

This is something that the End Worm also knows. She is K423, the product of the Xilin Project.

"And, the S-series experimental subjects created using Cecilia Shaniat, who is perfectly compatible with Shaniat's holy blood."

"And with the success of K423, the S series experimental subjects were sealed here. 镏&拔就物巴琳师笼武灵梦"

Of course, Otto was actually a little curious as to why his future self didn't destroy these experimental subjects but instead left them here. If Theresa or Siegfried knew about this, even if Otto didn't understand human nature, he knew they would definitely lose their minds.

Some even said that if it were exposed, it might damage his reputation as the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny and shake his foundation.

Only ten years had passed since Cecilia's departure, but destiny had not forgotten her.

The Endworm frowned. These were experimental subjects from the same batch as him, and his success would mean their failure.

"...So, what did you bring me here for?"

The Endworm was a little confused. Emotionally, she felt that she should be very angry with Otto, but after Otto's explanation, she didn't know what to do. Could this kind of thing be solved by just beating Otto up?

"I think this needs to be dealt with."

Otto said this, which was what he thought when he learned about this place. "And I want to consult your opinion."

In short, it is impossible to leave such a time bomb here just like that.

"deal with?"

The Endworm frowned.

Deal with... Does that mean destroy it?!

"No! Absolutely not!"

The Endworms said this, but Otto immediately added something.

"These experimental subjects have no souls. They are completely empty shells. I don't think you should treat them like humans."

If there is anyone here who can speak out, my future self will not hide them away.

"That won't work either..."

The Endworm struggled. She knew this, but she couldn't bear to watch as the test subjects bearing Cecilia's mother's face were destroyed one by one. She glanced at the laboratory. How many life support pods were there? Dozens? Hundreds?

She could see that each subject had signs of life, but as Otto said, they had no souls, just some walking corpses.

"In short, I hope you can think it through. Whether it's destruction or something else, I will do it according to your idea."

Otto said that it would be a better choice to leave the decision to the End Worm and let her decide the fate of her "compatriots" rather than making the decision himself.

Because if he handled it without telling the End Worm, and the End Worm found out later, it would affect the relationship between the two.

But now that the matter has been brought to light, the End Worm is not as angry as it was at the beginning.

“…Let me think about it.”

Please, my amazing wisdom!

The End Worm lowered its head in thought, while Otto straightened his collar which had been wrinkled by the End Worm. He felt that if it were him two months ago, he would have been hit by two punches just now.

But given his current relationship with the End Worm, the latter was willing to give him a chance to explain.

While the End Worm was thinking, Otto came to the nearest life support cabin and observed the beauty inside. As expected, she had similarities with Bianca and Kiana.

However, Otto was not too upset.

He doesn't have desire for everyone, just like he had no interest in the End Worm at first, until they got to know each other better and experienced unprecedented feelings with her, so Otto changed his attitude towards the End Worm.

As for these empty shells without even a soul, there was nothing to get excited about even if he kissed and caressed them.

but……

soul……

Otto narrowed his eyes. He was no longer a newbie who knew nothing, and in fact, the experimental subjects could also produce souls.

Like Kiana, Theresa and Amber, they are experimental subjects who were cloned and had souls created in their bodies.

If these bodies could all possess souls, perhaps Kiana wouldn't have to worry so much and could just take them all in.

Otto came up with this idea.

But how can a creature with a body possess its soul?

The first thing Otto thought of was what happened in the Australian ruins. Himiko, who should have died, became a pseudo-hersr-sitter and survived with the help of Otto-chan.

Although these are experimental subjects, not visitors from across time.

But maybe give it a try.

While thinking, he reached out and pressed the control panel of the life support capsule in front of him. In just a moment, the nutrient solution inside the life support capsule was emptied, and the transparent hatch slowly opened. The white-haired beauty inside fell forward, and Otto quickly hugged her.

So light.

Otto hugged Cecilia's clone.

There was a strange smell, probably the smell of nutrient solution, which Otto was not used to.

When he lowered his head, he could see the beauty in his arms with white hair as brilliant as stars, and a back as smooth as mutton-fat jade. Her crystal clear and delicate skin was so white that it seemed to be glowing, as smooth as ivory, as warm as jade, and as delicate as milk fat, which made Otto unable to help but put his hand on it.

Give it a gentle pinch.

He clearly felt that he didn't use much strength, but he left a red mark on the girl's flawless and delicate skin.

Otto's heart trembled.

For some reason, a feeling of joy inexplicably arose in his heart, bringing him a different kind of excitement.

As if wanting to find out the truth behind that feeling, Otto's fingers pinched the softest and plumpest part of the beauty in his arms where her hair touched, and squeezed it.

hiss.

Otto took a deep breath.

This made him feel like he couldn't let it go.

The smooth skin seemed to have some kind of magic, attracting his fingers and palms.
