He waited expectantly for dawn.

He cherishes the bubbles, and sees the illusion.

Otto glanced around, quickly raised his hand, and shouted: "Destiny is corrupt! The saintess is righteous!"

Under Otto's long-term brainwashing, the people worshipped and revered the saint. In addition, the Mandate of Heaven disregarded the lives of the people and increased taxes after the Eastern Expedition, forcibly collected so-called indulgences, and persecuted women and children, causing public resentment to accumulate to an extremely high level.

The only thing missing was a spark to ignite the fuse, and Otto decisively stepped in to play that role.

Immediately, the crowd erupted in a clamor, and a mighty roar echoed throughout the town, deafening everyone present.

"Heaven's mandate is corrupt, but the saintess's righteousness prevails!"

"Heaven's mandate is corrupt, but the saintess's righteousness prevails!"

The crowd kept raising their fists to vent their dissatisfaction and emotions.

The indulgences exploited the nobles, and all the injustices were exposed at this moment.

It is only because people see hope, and grasp onto that hope, that they may be able to create a more ideal life and escape their current cruel existence.

Unlike others who quietly left after stirring up emotions, Otto joined the cheering crowd, shouting slogans he had come up with on the spot.

It has no substance, only emotion.

His voice was hoarse from shouting, and he had absolutely no gentlemanly manners, resembling a fanatical religious believer.

Slogans don't necessarily need to have profound meaning; it's enough that the person reciting them can understand their meaning.

Void Treasury: I suddenly feel like laughing. As the actual ruler of the Mandate of Heaven, you actually took the initiative to incite the emotions of the people and push them to resist the corrupt rule of the Mandate of Heaven.

"But so what?"

"The void holds countless treasures; you must know that some things are merely means, not ends."

"Like people earning money for a better tomorrow, not just for the sake of earning money."

"I am no exception. I control destiny not for the sake of controlling destiny. Destiny is merely a means for me to realize my ideals. I control destiny in order to create a world where they exist and Kallen likes it. Controlling destiny is not the end result."

"If I don't need destiny and can create a beautiful world with Karen, then I don't really care about destroying it now. I can even laugh heartily while destroying it."

Void Treasury: OK, you understand the truth.

Nicholas was utterly shocked, and along with that shock came a great deal of apprehension and fear.

"Take her down!"

Nikolai shouted, but the guards looked at each other and none of them took a step forward.

"What are you doing?! I'm telling you to take control of the traitor Kallen now. She's weak right now, so don't be afraid!"

Nicholas shouted desperately, but no one answered.

None of the messengers were trained women; they were too weak to confront Karen.

The guards held him in high esteem and reverence.

Nicholas's power was waning. They had all worked hard to climb to a certain position, so they naturally learned to assess the situation. In this situation, they couldn't control Karen and would only make her the target of public criticism.

With such a large crowd watching from the sidelines, only a fool would step forward.

"Karen" looked around, and Nicholas must have been desperate when he saw the situation clearly.

Just moments ago, he was the center of attention, the undisputed leader; now, he's utterly abandoned and betrayed, with even his personal guards disobeying his orders.

“Bishop Nicholas, I will come to find you in an hour. Do your best to escape, and don’t let me catch you.”

"I might run away, but you should run away!"

After finishing, Nicholas turned and tiptoed off the judge's bench, quickly running towards the mansion with his trouser legs rolled up.

"Grab Nicholas!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and the crowd surged forward, but the guards stopped them, saying, "The Holy Maiden will handle this; you don't need to worry about it."

The obedient crowd turned to look at the man who was calming his mind. "I am enough on my own. I keep my promise. If I let him escape for an hour, I will let him escape for an hour. Don't worry, no matter where he runs, I can catch him. Rest assured."

Karen's words acted like a stabilizing force, quickly calming the people's anxieties. They had been quite worried that Nicholas would temporarily flee with his relatives and forces, only to make a comeback when the time was right.

The spring breeze blows and the grass grows again; everyone understands the principle of cutting weeds at the root.

At that point, they will only fall from the hell of torment into an even deeper hell of torment.

The masses desperately need a hero who can save them, a hero they can blindly follow.

Therefore they obeyed unconditionally.

"Karen" Otto squeezed through the crowd with all her might.

Hmm? Su Xin noticed the time stripping lines on Otto's neck.

The pattern is reminiscent of the work of the previous civilization, Velvet. It was created to seal the consciousness of the Herrscher of Corruption by combining the power of the Honkai Beast fused within her body with the seal.

Of course, being deprived of time can also weaken the seal's power; the effect is the same.

Otto got involved in an experiment?

So what if she gets involved? Su Xin will not reject Otto because of this.

People have faces, and the face we see may not be the true face. We need to observe from multiple perspectives and spend time to truly understand a person.

All hasty conclusions are merely superficial expressions of self-awareness.

Otto has a Soul Steel body, so his physical time doesn't seem to matter that much.

"Long time no see, Otto. You seem to have matured a lot. That's great."

Su Xin didn't hold back her praise; Otto has indeed grown quite well, at least to a good extent, and his daily necessities include all sorts of delicious food.

"Thank you, Karen. Should I go back and prepare some food for you? You must be starving after all this time. I'll make sure you're satisfied!"

Otto suddenly felt a little lost. He had prepared countless things to say when they met, and he had so much to say.

But those words wouldn't come out of his mouth, especially

Only when it comes to topics she definitely likes can Otto speak easily.

He didn't want to put Karen in a difficult position; discussing heavy topics would only embarrass her now.

As long as you come back, there's no rush.

Su Xin couldn't help but chuckle at Otto's childish remarks.

"Pfft, don't treat me like a child. I can blast an Emperor-level Honkai Beast with one punch."

An untimely rumble from her stomach made Su Xin's confident speech instantly turn awkward.

"Uh, I'm a bit hungry. Well then, I'll go and get Judas while I'm at it."

"Okay!" Otto smiled broadly and immediately ran home.

Righteousness and rebellion are not important; they are far less important than "having a good meal"!

Su Xin and Otto took Judah and went outside to look out at the castle.

In ancient times, there was the story of warming wine before beheading Hua Xiong; now, I, Su Xin, can't think of anything else, but I'll just behead Nicholas.

After ten years of slacking off, today, no more meekness! A powerful strike!

Chapter 82 Death Game

"Karen! I've prepared dinner. Don't worry about Nicholas for now. You haven't had any food in a long time. I've specially prepared some novel dishes from a pre-civilization. I'm sure you'll like them!"

Otto spoke slowly and deliberately, his face full of joy, as he carefully walked out, carrying a large plate, and placed it on the white tablecloth in the garden.

The aroma was so enticing that Su Xin's keen sense of smell quickly caught it.

It smells so good! I haven't had any food in ages, I really want some. Should I wait a bit before going to find Nicholas to pay me?

Su Xin's foodie instincts urged her to eat, but as a human being, she had to deal with Nicholas first.

"No, I'll do it."

“It’s noon now.” Su Xin raised her head in a cool manner, her fair and smooth neck swaying like a swan spreading its wings, looking very proud.

Otto specially designed a unique Valkyrie outfit for Kallen, showcasing her delicate collarbones. The outfit featured gold stripes, a V-neck, a gold cross emblem, symmetrical wing patterns on either side of her chest, and a Destiny emblem hanging between her collarbones.

A black mini skirt paired with white stockings with gold trim.

Otto personally selected and meticulously sewed every single material.

Sacred and beautiful.

Noble and elegant.

"Uh, Dusk, Karen." Otto hesitated for a while, looking at the setting sun on the western horizon. The bright, slightly hazy sunlight made him seem... "My words were a bit clumsy just now, but even without the contrast, they're still quite cute."

Otto coughed twice, then his mind went completely blank if he thought any further.

"It'll be quite a while since noon."

"Of course I know." Su Xin turned her back to Otto to avoid seeing her burning ears.

Zhen, despite having seen and experienced things over the past 50,000 years, has become increasingly pure in his behavior, which may even seem a bit naive to the world.

Like a child, they simply want to do it and will do it.

A single thought determines the action taken in the next second.

Like a line, Su Xin imitated the protagonist in a movie showing off, saying a line before executing the enemy, which felt exciting.

Su Xin doesn't think her current words and actions are bad; perhaps she's disregarding everything and truly following her heart to live her one true life.

Only then can he be free; it is his only choice.

"I'll be right back. Right now, I need to fulfill my promise and make Nicholas pay for what he just did! He bullied me, the one who raised Karen, but I can't bear to bully her!"

Su Xin carried the heavy Judah in one hand, looking majestic and imposing.

Otto suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a terrifying sensation creeping over him.

Bullying Karen was part of his plan, even though Karen herself agreed to it and was upset, but the result was the same.

Will Kallen cough? No problem, Kallen probably won't tell on you. She's very magnanimous. Yes, that's right!

No, the most important thing right now is to eat.

Nicholas can be dealt with at any time, or at worst, Karen can have a good meal first, and then he can be given the dirty and tiring work.

Even when facing his own father, Otto would show no mercy. In his memory, that man even wanted to kill, and he also wanted to seize the Apocalypse family heirloom, the Relic of the Void, for himself.

He was only worried about dying, fearing that the vast emptiness would also dissipate, and thus hesitated to take action.

I don't know who leaked my conversation with Void Treasury, letting those damned old bastards know that Void Treasury can help the host achieve immortality.

I guess I was a bit tired during the time I was busy with the revival and didn't pay attention.

It doesn't matter. A bunch of nobles who only know how to exploit and oppress, indulging in wine and meat in their mansions, will never amount to anything.

First, remind Karen that the food is cold, so she should eat it first.

"Karen, you..." Otto was taken aback when he found himself alone.

When did they leave? Without them noticing at all?

Void Treasury: Just now, I saw Judah fly by, I saw it with my own eyes, it's true.

"Karen knows about Judah's flight ability?" Otto was somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, he didn't find it strange at all.

Kaslana's stigmata originates from a pre-civilization era, and she knows how to use the Divine Key normally.

Kallen herself was unaware, but the new personality evolved from the Stigmata should retain relevant memories.

"As expected of Kallen!" Otto's eyes shone with admiration.

Void and myriad treasures:

Void Treasury originally intended to reveal that the great one knew far more than you, but seeing Otto's bewitched appearance, there was no need to take the risk.

Beside the castle, Nicholas hid at the highest point of the castle, looking through the roof window at someone flying on a huge golden cross.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was Karen!

"Damn it! She actually brought Judah! Listen, everyone go out and stop Karen Kaslana! Use any means necessary, at any cost, to keep Karen out of the door! If you manage to stop her, everyone will receive a title of viscount or higher!"

Nicholas didn't care about anything else and generously offered a tempting reward.

Simply stopping Karen, whether by physical force or verbal abuse, is far easier than defeating or even killing her.
