After she finished complaining, the system went silent, and Su Xin became even quieter.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, and began to repair the shattered sword heart.
Even if one's sword heart is perfected, it still requires lifelong tempering; the slightest wavering will shatter it.
Under normal circumstances, the host's sword heart is difficult to break after being influenced by the divine sound. Unless something happens that causes the host's values and will to collapse, or the power used at one time exceeds the sword heart's capacity, Su Xin finds it hard to imagine that a sword heart above the level of Wuchen would break.
How much determination does it take to overcome an obsession? In Su Xin's view, it's no different from Kevin giving up on saving the world or Otto giving up on Karen.
After several hours of recuperation, Su Xin repaired Kallen's Sword Heart, even surpassing it.
But it's always just a little bit short of the Tai Xu Realm, not much, but insurmountable.
"That's strange, System. Do you know why she hasn't broken through to the Void Realm?"
"For four years, she went to bed at six or eleven every day. Apart from fighting monsters and leveling up to temper her sword heart, she was exhausted every day. It was even harder than when I was in my senior year of high school, not to mention that I helped her clear the blockages at night."
"Karen's talent is not bad, and her will is very strong, but why does it always feel like something is missing?"
Su Xin was not the creator of the divine sound; if Mei were here, she might be able to give him a satisfactory answer.
Perhaps my resolve wasn't strong enough?
"Was her commitment to protecting the people not strong enough?"
"Karen was almost always serving the people, even stepping onto the front lines before she was fully grown to defend the right of people in the slums to live."
"He was always arguing with the nobles and had a busy schedule to help prove the innocence of those commoners who had been slandered."
"She even voluntarily worked overtime to eradicate some human trafficking black industries, forcing the other side to spend a lot of money to smear her, although Otto killed them all."
Chapter 39 A Profound Obsession
"I think he's about to go mad with demonic possession."
Who knows? I just feel that she has something in her heart.
My long-cherished wish cannot be spoken.
"You, one, stop keeping me in suspense," Su Xin urged.
I don't know, you'll have to give up. Anyway, Wuchen Sword Heart is good, but it's not enough. Just rely on Wuchen Sword Heart and you're going to get beaten up.
Now, during the peak of her life, you might use a low-quality version of the Taixu Sword God, exhausting all your strength, while she uses the full Taixu Sword God as a basic attack.
Hmph, but you dug this hole 50,000 years ago.
Let me think, did you leave your mark on the initial design of Project Fireseed? You:
Of course, no one paid attention to what you said, but one person did take it to heart. Who was it? Could it be Hua? Could it be Hua? Could it be Hua?
"You're so noisy." Su Xin touched her forehead in embarrassment; this embarrassing past belonged to her.
Hua was the kind of person who was very serious, and Su Xin did not expect that her words could be incorporated into the obsession of protecting future generations.
Who could have imagined that every hundred years, all memories of Hua would be forgotten, and that this phrase would be woven into the obsession with protecting future generations and continuing civilization? Tsk tsk, be prepared to be beaten.
"Stop cursing, stop cursing, I admit defeat, okay?" Su Xin raised both hands in a standard French military salute.
Su Xin looked up and sighed deeply, her feelings complicated.
“But what can I do? As long as I’m inside Karen’s body, I can’t possibly carry out my mission according to my will.”
"We will wait for the day when freedom comes before we continue our journey."
Human lifespan is limited, and your return to the human world won't be too late.
Su Xin's eyes dimmed slightly, seemingly uninterested in the topic, or perhaps deliberately ignoring it. She waved her hand calmly and said, "Fine, fine, no, I just hope I can break through to the Void Realm on the Eastern Expedition. Otherwise, getting a good beating is no big deal."
So what do you think of her?
"Karen, well, she's a good girl. Unlike my selfish self, Karen has a noble and righteous spirit in her soul. I hope she can have a better ending and become a guardian that people yearn for."
"Although I can only be free if she dies, I want to help her achieve her dreams as much as possible."
"I know the world is objective, and the objective outcome does not depend on good or evil, but only on the right or wrong of the choices made."
"So I want to give a girl with a kind heart a happy ending. I want to prove that goodness deserves a good outcome."
"If the world continues to extend kindness to the most heinous criminals, then it might as well be destroyed."
"As for Chi Yuan, if I could, I'd rather get a beating than have Kallen beaten up and question her existence. After all these years, it would be a lie to say there are no feelings left."
Oh
The system suddenly started to fill in sound, ethereal and clear.
Is it domestic violence? Insubordination by a junior? Or disrespect by a student towards a teacher?
Tsk, none of your relationships with those female heroes are simple.
Su Xin felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her, and some unbearable memories flooded her mind.
"I'll get angry if you do that again."
Before she finished speaking, Su Xin keenly sensed that Kallen's soul was awakening, meaning that Kallen must have recovered from the eroding mental pressure.
Su Xin immediately withdrew, allowing her body to return to Karen's control.
After regaining consciousness, Karen was not as disoriented as before. She looked at her hands and stared blankly for a long time. As dusk fell and the world became quiet, the noisy chirping of cicadas occasionally drifted from the secluded path.
She opened her lips several times but remained silent; her lips moved but not a sound came out.
In the long silence, Kallen placed her hand on the sword core inside her body, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings.
No one knew what Karen was thinking; for the first time, she walked home in silence.
The journey home wasn't long, but in a single night of longing, I had already covered most of it.
On the way back to the Kaslana family, Kallen saw a scene of ruins, seemingly even more devastating than the city ravaged by Honkai Beasts.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. Many families wanted to go home to see if there were any things they could take with them, but Otto ordered them to stop.
He certainly didn't want to "go to great lengths to save people, only to be corrupted and fall back into hell because of greed."
He didn't do it for some insignificant people, but to ensure that "it" wouldn't be tainted.
In fact, if neither Karen nor Otto knew, he could have easily colluded with the nobles, exchanging interests for benefits, and then equally despised the commoners whose status was far inferior to his.
In that era, there was no doubt that nobles were born winners, and a sense of superiority was inevitable.
Selflessness can also be selfishness, and selfishness, at a certain moment or at a certain point, can be greater than selflessness.
The great achievements born from selfishness are far greater than selflessness itself.
Otto is doing something right now.
There were once some reckless individuals who dared to fabricate baseless and filthy stories, attempting to smear Karen with these evil deeds and discredit her.
Of course, those guys are living peacefully and carefree lives now, and they don't need to worry about anything.
After enduring countless tortures and pains in the stinking sewers, countless batches of experimental subjects were finally returned to nature's embrace.
Aren't they now completely at ease, without uttering a single word?
Now, Otto wants the people to bask in the glory of the saint, and they should worship and be grateful for her salvation, which is what they, including Otto and other mortals, should do.
"Please do not worry, everyone. Your property loss has been exchanged for the lives of your entire family. No one in the entire town of Freud has died. You are lucky. This is also the result of the battle fought by the strongest warrior of the Kaslana family, the Holy Maiden of Destiny, Kallen."
"I, Otto Apocalypse, on behalf of Saint Karen, offer you some money and goods to help you with your daily needs."
"And we will arrange jobs for you so that you can survive the sudden disaster."
After Otto finished speaking, he bowed deeply, showing great politeness.
Most ordinary people smiled. With the recent Black Death, jobs were hard to find, and even when they were, it was arduous and exhausting, and some couldn't even support their families.
Most ordinary households don't have much wealth; if they do, they've already sold it to buy food and medicine.
Would a man these days be willing to arrange suitable jobs for them? You know, even the lowest-level porter jobs are extremely hard to find these days.
Gradually, that joyful smile turned into madness, and people thought of Karen, whom Otto had mentioned.
That S-rank Valkyrie who has been fighting on the front lines against the Honkai, the eldest daughter of the Kaslana family head, the Saintess of Destiny!
"The Holy Maiden, please save us?"
"Carmen! Thank God for sending a saint to earth. I will faithfully offer my sincerest prayers to you, our saint."
"Carmen! As expected of the Saintess of Destiny. I've heard of her glorious honor. During the Second Honkai Outbreak, even such a large Honkai Beast was dealt with by the Saintess. Are there enemies we can't defeat?"
The discussion started to get heated, with people echoing each other's opinions.
Everything was as Otto had predicted. Humans are never afraid of losing, but only of losing something worse.
Chapter 32 of Volume 1 was executed; I posted the original version in my long review.
As for the subsequent car-related plot, it will definitely be rejected. It should be fine for a day or two after it's just been released, so it's always good to watch it while you can.
For later readers, please visit the Penguin group.
After I publish the app, I will create a QQ group and post the unmodified version in the group files.
I'll post it in the long review section before it's officially released.
There will be one update tonight.
Chapter 40 Elegant Dirty
Karen was startled by what she saw and quickly ducked Ottora to a deserted corner of the alley.
"What happened? Why is everyone calling out my title?" Karen walked over and asked, puzzled.
Otto knew that Karen, the woman with golden eyes, still hadn't revealed her great achievements. He had been hesitant at first, but after learning this information, he quickly came up with a reasonable excuse.
"Yang Kallen, you suddenly fainted. When you stood up again, you were fighting a giant Honkai Beast and finally managed to destroy it."
"You didn't answer when we called you, so I think it's possible that the Holy Mark on your body sensed that a powerful Honkai Beast had awakened and taken over your body."
“I want to use this incident to win everyone’s hearts, so that at least the Kaslana family’s finances will be a little better.”
"As long as everyone recognizes you and the heroes like the Saintess, it will bring a huge influx of traffic. Regardless of whether they need it or not, they will buy Kaslana family products or make purchases in Kaslana family businesses. This can solve the Kaslana family's urgent needs."
After hearing Otto's explanation, Karen was greatly impressed and murmured, "I see. As expected of you, Otto, you have so many brilliant ideas!"
"You're welcome. Didn't we agree to help each other achieve our ideals? I've heard some inside information that Destiny is preparing to gather troops for an eastern expedition. As Destiny's ace, you, Karen, will definitely be sent. For a while, the major nobles won't easily clash with Kaslana because they're afraid you'll be unhappy and refuse to go."
"After all, the Eastern Expedition is not about defense, but about invasion, so you have a choice. At that time, you can have your family members make some demands on other nobles and force them to cede some of their interests."
"But be careful not to push too hard, or it will backfire. In short, this opportunity is very rare. If you seize it well, the Kaslana family will not have to worry about economic problems for the time being, and I will also assist you secretly."
"Hmm? Karen, you don't seem very happy. Am I wrong?"
Otto was stunned. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his statement, and that he had considered Karen's situation from all angles.
Otto carefully recalled his earlier remarks, but he couldn't figure out what had offended Karen.
“No, Otto, you…you’re not wrong, on the contrary, you’re right. Thank you for thinking so much about me. I’ll tell the family when I get back.” Karen shook her head, her voice low.
As a Karen enthusiast, Otto was extremely sensitive to and familiar with Karen's behavior.
When Karen deliberately lowers her voice, it means she is feeling heavy-hearted and may be facing some unsolvable troubles.
The severity of a worry can be determined by the speed of speech and the pauses between sentences.
Karen paused three times while answering, with the longest pause lasting 0.4 seconds, twice as long as when she was hungry!
Otto took a deep breath. Could it be that Karen was having some major troubles that made her so hesitant?
"If Karen has any problems, you can just talk to me, and I'll figure something out! I can solve it! Trust me!"
Otto clenched his fist and pounded it against his heart, demonstrating his determination.
But Karen gave a bitter smile, her eyes unable to hide her disappointment. "I'm sorry, Otto, you can't solve this problem, no one can solve it, only I can solve it."
"Thank you for today. I want to go home and think about some things that are important to me."
"I'll come find you tomorrow, please don't worry, I'm fine, yes, I'll be fine, I promise."
Karen kept repeating this.
But the more he repeated it, the more anxious Otto became.
Kallen's consciousness? But judging from Kallen's first reaction, she didn't seem to know the truth?
What exactly is Karen worried about?
Otto hadn't seen Karen for a long time and was worried. He wanted to comfort her but couldn't find a reason, because he didn't even know the reason for Karen's anxiety.
