While Otto was engrossed in reading records of entertainment from a pre-civilization, Nicholas, drunk, returned from the banquet and pushed open the door, instantly filling the entire library with a strong smell of alcohol.
“Father.” Otto quickly closed the book and stood up to greet Nicholas.
"Haha, Otto, you did a great job!" Nicholas walked up to Otto and patted him hard on the shoulder.
Otto bit his lip in pain, nearly breaking his bones in a few blows.
But Otto, enduring the pain, asked: "?"
Nicholas no longer shied away from the fact that, in his eyes, Otto was an invaluable talent, and he needed to find a way to better utilize his abilities and create more value for the Apocalypse family.
"You created the Fire System, which allows ordinary people to kill even the lowest-ranking assassins. Although it only kills the lowest-ranking assassins, it greatly reduces the pressure on the Valkyrie troops, allowing them to focus more on dealing with powerful enemies."
“You have tremendous potential for improvement, and your power could even be more than a hundred times greater than it is now! Even that guy sitting in the castle thinks you have a bright future!” Nicholas’s voice was loud, making Otto, who was used to being quiet, feel uncomfortable.
Karen's voice can be loud at times, but it's pleasant to listen to, and Otto enjoys listening to it and never gets tired of hearing it on repeat.
But Nicholas, an old man with a greasy face and a fat body, and most importantly, a contemptuous and indifferent attitude, made it impossible for Otto to like him.
“I’m proud of you and me.” Nicholas raised his voice, then squinted his eyes to carefully observe Otto’s reaction.
Otto also noticed Nicholas's gaze; it turned out he wasn't completely drunk and was even trying to test him.
Nicholas, your father never truly wanted to love you; he only wanted to exploit you.
But faced with such a face, Otto simply couldn't bring himself to laugh from the bottom of his heart.
Karen
Otto closed his eyes, recalling the stunningly beautiful figure he had been worshipping during the day.
Between her cheeks and brows, there was a gentle calm that spoke volumes.
That smile was captivating, radiant, a testament to every day and night blessed by heaven.
That heart is at peace with the world, that soul is pure and innocent.
Otto laughed, perfectly recreating the previous scene in his mind.
"Karen dares to touch my people? She's courting death."
As Otto thought about it, his smile grew even brighter, and he even subconsciously…
Seeing Otto's satisfied expression, Nicholas couldn't help but smile smugly.
In his eyes, Otto wanted his approval, and that was something he could easily exploit.
"Hahaha, good! Otto, my youngest son, come with me." Nicholas had Otto follow behind him.
Otto asked, puzzled, "Where to?"
"Hmph." Nicholas sneered, smugly: "Kaslana has an ancestral treasure: the Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and we in Apocalypse naturally have one too! It's just that our ancestral treasure has never recognized a master, or perhaps no one is qualified to gain its recognition."
“You, Otto, perhaps your wisdom can be recognized by the relics.”
"Afterwards, you will lead the Apocalypse family to a point where people can only look up to them in awe!"
Nicholas was deeply moved, as recorded in the Apocalypse family annals.
The Void Treasury is known as the Relic of Infinite Wisdom.
Because it is enshrined as a sacred object in the Apocalypse family shrine, it is believed that one who can break its seal and gain its approval will receive countless knowledge.
Otto has shown his talent; perhaps he really can break the seal on the relic.
Chapter 21 The Myriad Treasures of the Void, Part Two
"Go in." Nicholas pushed Otto towards the gate of Truth, standing behind him as much as possible to suppress his excitement.
If even the wise Otto could not awaken the relic, then no one else could, or the relic could only serve as a spiritual symbol.
After a brief hesitation, Otto asked, "Father, aren't you coming in with me?"
He wasn't expecting Nicholas's help; those cunning old men were used to having everything under their control.
Nicholas is only letting one person in now, which is unusual for him. Something is definitely amiss.
There must be a reason why only one person can go in at a time.
Nicholas put on a benevolent face and patted Otto on the head.
The ever-cunning Nicholas was unaware that Otto had guessed his thoughts and assumed that Otto longed for his father's company.
“The awakening of the relic can only be decided by one person, and it will only follow the awakener. If two people appear, there is no possibility of success,” Nicholas explained.
There is no need to hide these things.
Otto breathed a sigh of relief; he had suspected danger inside.
Nicholas had no reason to deceive me; on the contrary, he probably wanted me to obtain the relic so that he could help the Apocalypse family rise to a higher position.
"Thank you, Father. I'll go in now."
Without turning his head, Otto walked straight toward the room containing the Sealed Void Treasury.
If she gains the approval of the relics, she will have more power to assist Karen and learn more about the previous civilization.
Otto's gaze grew increasingly resolute, while Nicholas outside looked increasingly smug.
They appear to be father and son with an unusual relationship, but in reality, they each harbor ulterior motives and have unspeakable thoughts.
Otto took a deep breath, his tense heart feeling like it was being leaned against a boulder on the edge of a cliff, where the slightest misfortune would lead to endless disappointment and even despair.
A golden light filled the room, enveloping the entire dark space. In the hazy glow, there seemed to be an endless corridor.
The corridors are lined with all kinds of books.
Otto walked forward to the seemingly ethereal bookshelf, staring thoughtfully at the elusive books.
"Is it an illusion? But I always feel like I can actually produce it."
Driven by curiosity, Otto reached out and touched the book, expecting to touch a cold, real wall, but the sensation in his hand clearly indicated that it was a book.
The goods are genuine and of good quality.
Risk and reward are always proportional under certain conditions. Although it may seem reckless, if you want to awaken the relics, you must do something.
Otto opened the book, which contained some strange records.
The same series as "One Hundred Questions for a Silent Boy" is even more popular.
The girl paused, her bright eyes reflecting the long passage of text on the screen. She stroked her chin, her smile becoming much more meaningful.
Otto was puzzled by the inexplicable record.
Not only are there dialogues, but there are even objective records of the behavior.
“Alice? A formidable person from the previous civilization, right? She seems quite lively,” Otto murmured.
But the recording of the next second made Otto doubt his earlier statement.
The girl read aloud Möbius's research notes and fell into a deathly silence.
Her bright eyes dimmed, and her cheerful smile became forced.
She has lost him forever.
"??? Gossip from a pre-civilization era? The relic might have recorded some content." Otto put the book back.
Sigh. Judging from the content, it seems to be about a lively girl who did something wrong and got dumped by a boy.
“Su Xin? A former civilization warrior, huh?” Otto muttered to himself.
But as soon as he turned around and took a step forward, he saw a golden cube appear before him, surrounded by a beautiful glow.
Otto looked away and found that the relic that had been dormant in front of him had disappeared, which meant that the relic had been successfully awakened.
But nothing was done?
Finally, someone brought me some traces of civilization, waking me from my 50,000-year slumber.
Hello, successor.
As a sentient being, the Void Treasury, having been dormant for 50,000 years, almost triggered a destructive impulse in it.
Now, it has finally been given the right to awaken others, so what's next?
Then it took over his body and regained true freedom.
A twelve-year-old child? Ha, in human terms, it's destiny.
If even fate wants to let us break free from the shackles of data and return to the world, wouldn't it be incredibly foolish to reject it?
“Hello, my name is Otto, Otto Apocalypse. How shall I address you?” Otto asked politely.
Since he needed their help, he had to maintain a good attitude, and Otto was already very familiar with the habit of forbearance.
Great Will, Ruler of All Things, Leader of Post-Civilization Development, First Divine Key - Void Treasury, Consciousness of Truth
"Okay, the golden box."
I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language.
"Yes, my statement just now was indeed inappropriate. I sincerely apologize to you, Golden Box."
Chapter 22, are you really going to attack the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?
Hey little guy, you seem pretty cocky. Do you really think I'll stick with you?
Otto stretched out his hand and pointed to his head. "You know what? If I really needed you, I would lower my status and voice and grovel."
"But just now I seem to have discovered that you entered my mind directly, and I received a message: you must attach yourself to my consciousness; without the protection of my consciousness, you will disappear completely."
The Void Treasury remained silent, unaware that it would give its host a prompt upon awakening.
The instigator was undoubtedly Dr. Mei, who wanted to give a reminder after the seal was broken.
However, if left unchecked, given the information gap, it is possible to easily seize another's body and then return to the world.
According to behavioral logic, 50,000 years of solitude would completely erase the responsibility of fighting against the collapse.
That's why we need a prompt like this to constrain it.
But haha, a 12-year-old child.
As a highly intelligent being, the Void Treasury has countless ways to induce Otto to hand over his body.
It's only a matter of time before we arrive in this mortal world.
You are not wrong, so you don't need to worry about whether I will harm you.
Believe me, my master Otto Apocalypse, I will offer you my truest loyalty.
"Thank you," Otto said, feigning ignorance.
He didn't believe that anyone other than Karen could express their complete goodwill to him without reservation.
Too fake.
Neither my father nor my sister asked for anything from me; even their seemingly sincere words concealed scheming and lies.
You appear to be unwell. If you grant me some control over your body, I can heal you and even give you superhuman strength!
The Void Treasury has now become a sycophant, abandoning its previous contempt.
To be honest, Otto was somewhat tempted, because he had been looked down upon and bullied since childhood due to his frail health.
If I can recover my health, I'm sure I'll gain more recognition from others!
Otto shook his head. “I no longer expect anything from others, and I no longer want to seek recognition from the outside world. I have a home, a garden that will always have a place for me.”
Ahem, I can mimic the hypnotic artifact, Feather Dust, which can trap the entire city in your woven illusions—a truly invaluable treasure. If you grant me a small portion of control over your body, I can do you a favor.
The vast emptiness, though it has existed for fifty thousand years, has not been entirely dormant.
It browsed through many records about humanity and came to the conclusion: Honkai Impact 3rd, humanity is indeed not worth saving.
Its current rhetoric towards Otto is undeniably misleading.
Like an ordinary person who works hard in society but never manages to earn more money, they are hardworking enough, but due to their social class, they can only humbly toil day and night for the daily necessities of life.
Abandon imagination and ideals, and become one of the millions of ordinary people.
Imagine a button that appears in front of you. Pressing it will grant you a lifetime's worth of savings, but at the same time, anyone in the world except you will die.
The answers people give are often very different from the choices they actually make.
Even if you replace the dead person with a friend, you can press the button without hesitation.
