Their commission was suspicious.

Then Chen Luo gently slid his fingers in the air, creating a string of magical runes. These runes landed on Karen and transformed into a water film, covering her.

“What is this?” Otto asked.

"This is a protective shield to ensure she doesn't suddenly wake up. After all, you don't want Karen, whom you finally managed to save, to suddenly wake up and decide to stay in this era any longer, right? You have to at least trick her into going to the bar."

"Then we'll make it a fait accompli. Even if Karen wanted to come back, she wouldn't be able to. She'd just have to stay here."

Whether from the perspective of the mission or the level of threat at this point in time, Karen cannot be allowed to continue living in this era any longer.

Otherwise, they would create another timeline where Kallen is still alive.

Then all our efforts will be in vain.

“…Understood.” Otto nodded.

"Are you sure you know?" Chen Luo looked at Otto with some disbelief.

"Alright, don't be so distrustful of me. You need to trust your partner. I'm not so incompetent as to not be able to distinguish between what's important and what's not. After all, I'm Otto."

"It's precisely because you're Otto that I'm worried about you, which is why I specifically put a sleep buff on Kallen."

"Honestly, with your personality, would you object to anything Karen wants to do?"

"The truth is... no." Otto was still somewhat self-aware.

"So I put a detection barrier on top of the water film. If you break the barrier, I can sense it immediately. I'm planning to go out and have some fun, so don't do anything stupid."

If you mess up my 4500 raw stones, I'll smash your destiny!

No, it's my destiny!

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"I can't feel at ease at all." Chen Luo muttered to himself as he glanced at the other person's fate line a few more times.

Only after confirming that the other party wouldn't do anything foolish did Chen Luo slowly float away.

If Chen Luo were to come alone at this time, he could guarantee that he would not make a single mistake.

However, if you bring one more person, the variables become much greater.

"I'm never taking anyone on a time travel journey again. I'm so tired of it."

In particular, neither Herrscher of Knowledge nor Otto are easy to deal with.

……

"..." Otto, surrounded by flames and ruins, felt as if the whole world had lost its color.

And all of this stemmed from the steadily decreasing body temperature of the person in her arms.

"Hey, kid, do you want to revive the girl in your arms?" A young-sounding voice rang out.

The word "resurrection" that the other party mentioned undoubtedly moved Otto.

Otto stared blankly as he searched for the source of the sound, and then he saw a boy flying in the air.

The other party's figure appeared extremely faint, like a ghost.

"Who...are you?" Otto's brain, which had stopped working, only noticed the unusual anomaly before him after a while.

"Me? Call me the Imaginary Count Demon or the Quantum Angel, it's all the same title."

"You just said... you can revive Kallen?"

"Of course you can. Why not? I am a higher-dimensional being that you cannot even foresee. Death and resurrection are as simple to me as eating and drinking."

“Restoring damaged fabrics to their original state happens to be one of my specialties,” Chen Luo said, tossing a grayish clump toward Karen.

Just as Otto was about to stop it, it suddenly accelerated and entered Kallen's body.

Then an astonishing scene unfolded: the enormous hole in the body that had been dead in Otto's arms vanished instantly, the clothes were restored to their original state, and Otto could feel the goddess in his arms returning to her original body temperature.

It was merely a clone, and it had only been dead for two minutes. Chen Luo only needed four minutes to repair its body.

"!!!"

"Kallen, Karen!" Seeing Karen's body being rewound, appearing to be asleep, Otto quickly and gently shook her body.

"Alright, don't forget that while the other person's body has indeed returned to normal, their soul has dissipated."

"There is no such thing as hell or heaven in this world."

"The world allows consciousness to fit into new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness."

"You definitely won't wake her up by shaking her like that."

"And what about you? Since you can do this much, and you just said you'd help me revive Kallen, can you really do it?" Otto stared intently at Chen Luo after processing his words.

"Of course you can, why not?"

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch," Chen Luo drawled.

“Imaginary Demon, right? What do you want? If you can resurrect Kallen, you can take my soul too,” Otto said, almost frantically.

“…Damn it, you’ve messed up my thoughts,” Chen Luo said, rubbing his head.

It really does get things done in one go.

If Karen had your level of awareness, I wouldn't be able to get any commissions.

It's true that they give away their souls without hesitation, without even a moment's pause.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Resurrect Kallen】

Reward: 1000 Primogems + random reward

Difficulty: Four stars

No, wait, what's going on?

Chen Luo was a little confused when he saw this task that suddenly appeared.

Good grief, one person got two identical commissions?

Just as Chen Luo was about to click "Accept," he suddenly remembered something and clicked "Deny."

That means if you accept this request, Otto's five-star request will disappear.

Because Otto's request has not yet been completed.

It is impossible for one person to take on two tasks at the same time.

Therefore, Chen Luo had no choice but to give up, even though it was painful.

What did you say?

"It's nothing. I'm not interested in your soul. It's not impossible to resurrect her. It's just that her soul has gone to another world, and I need enough time to collect her soul."

"And what about the timeframe? How long will it take to collect them all?"

“Five hundred years. That means you can only see Karen again in 500 years,” Chen Luo said, pointing at Karen.

"500 years..."

"Once you learn the techniques of the Void Treasury, 500 years will be nothing more than a blink of an eye for you."

"You know about the vastness of the void... Let's just say it's 500 years!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Goodbye]: Let Otto meet the resurrected Kallen 500 years later.

Reward: 500 Primogems + 30 Otto Affinity

Difficulty: 3 stars

This can be accepted!

This task does not conflict with or overlap with another task!

Favorability?

Chen Luo was already used to it.

"How about we discuss the price? I don't want your soul, but... how about we sign a contract?" A book suddenly appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

Chen Luo is smiling happily now.

"Phew, I'm finally back." Chen Luo dragged his heavy steps into the bar.

With Chen Luo's return, the invitation that had given the door its special color, which was originally pasted on the door of Bar No. 1, instantly fell off the door, and the door of Bar No. 1 lost its special color.

"You two are both giving me no peace of mind. How dare you two do this?" Chen Luo took the now-invalid invitation and pointed at the Herrscher of Knowledge and Otto with a displeased expression.

After signing the contract with Otto, Chen Luo waited for two more hours before the Law of Knowledge returned.

Thanks to these two people, Chen Luo's interference threat level increased directly to 65.

Chen Luo spent a lot of effort to lower it to 45.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't hit yourself?" Chen Luo glared at Otto and said angrily.

"It was my fault." Otto readily admitted his mistake.

“Then you…” Chen Luo turned to the Law of Knowledge.

"I'm sorry," the Herald of Knowledge said decisively.

“…Never mind. I’ll go wake Kallen.” Chen Luo glanced at the two people in front of him and then dragged the huge coffin behind him up to the second floor.

Otto and Yae Sakura were about to follow when Chen Luo stopped them.

"You two, don't come up yet."

……

With Chen Luo's consciousness invading, Karen, who was lying in the coffin, finally woke up from her slumber.

"Hi, how are you feeling?" Chen Luo asked Kallen, mimicking Alicia's tone, as she gradually woke up.

Chapter 533 Bishop Otto! Lead us to conquer the Imaginary Tree once more!!

[Ding! Mission Complete] ×4

The rewards for all four tasks were tallied together, making Chen Luo grin from ear to ear.

1500 3000 + + + 200 500

[Chongxu] + Two Advanced Random Rewards + The Entire Destiny.

The last two of these rewards are for reviving Kallen.

The third reason is that Otto wanted to prevent Yae Sakura from following him 500 years ago.

And a mission for Otto to see Karen again 500 years later.

The task itself wasn't difficult, but the opportunity was extremely rare.

This task cannot be completed without an invitation from the bar.

Moreover, Chen Luo expressed considerable interest in Chongxu.

[Chongxu]: Bishop Otto! Lead us to attempt the Tree of Imaginary Numbers once more!

Effect: Increases damage against imaginary enemies by 40%, and provides a certain amount of counter-attribute against imaginary trees.

It's too ridiculous.

Bishop Otto, you're truly amazing.

Although this thing is written in a way that is quite baffling, Chen Luo thinks that it might have a miraculous effect in special circumstances.

We've already collected enough raw stones, and we've even exceeded our limit.

I'm just waiting for the auspicious time tomorrow so I can draw that 6-star item.

Furthermore, one can save up more than 1 raw stones as a backup or to purchase special abilities.

For abilities below SS rank, it's more cost-effective to increase affinity to 5% and then buy them directly. However, for six-star items, it's definitely more worthwhile to obtain them through gacha rewards.

Because a six-star item is roughly equivalent to an SSS-level talent, and in addition to purchasing the talent itself, you also need to pay a modification fee that is several times more expensive than the talent itself.
