Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

"You are wrong. The World Serpent has no intention of being an enemy of Destiny."

In his opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the Stigmata Project and may even seriously hinder the implementation of the Stigmata Project.

Therefore, the destiny must be transformed from a 'hinderer' to a 'helper'.

"I am here for only one purpose - I want you to assist with the Stigmata Project."

Although Kevin is not as good with words as Otto, he has absolute power.

So he dared to give the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate directly like this.

There are not many people in the world who have such courage and strength.

So even at the beginning of the conversation, Otto realized that he was about to face an extremely difficult person.

But he was prepared.

"If you make a request, you must pay a price. What do you want to give in exchange for my promise?"

Otto tried to establish an equal communication status, so that he could get what he wanted...

"..."

Otto noticed the man's pause.

Very good, he thought.

Until now, the content of the conversation was still under his control. But next, he had to be very careful, very, very careful -

"I don't need your promise. Obey or perish, those are your only two choices."

".....No, no, this is not a good decision. You know, no matter how powerful you are, this world is still maintained by my destiny."

"Imagine the worst case scenario: Destiny will use all its resources and strength to fight the World Serpent until the last moment. Yes, Destiny will lose, but you will definitely lose time."

Otto couldn't continue to follow Kevin's instructions, so he directly stated his countermeasures.

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario he had imagined.

If things really develop to that point, both sides will suffer.

"You will lose the most precious time. If that happens, you will not be able to complete the Stigmata Plan before the end of the world."

"You don't want this to happen, do you? I think it's time to have a good talk."

"After all, I don't want to go to war with the World Serpent."

After Otto implicitly expressed his attitude of fighting to the death, he immediately changed the subject and expressed his attitude of cooperation.

To him, the worst possible scenario is equivalent to failure.

Unless it is absolutely necessary... it is absolutely impossible to take this step...

After hearing this, Kevin responded as he wished: "What is your request?"

--coming.

The conversation went as he had expected.

Although Otto was very happy in his heart, he pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

"I also have my own plan, a plan that must be completed before the end comes."

"But the collapse is intensifying, at a speed far beyond human imagination. As civilization evolves, its enemies are also evolving."

"The irregular collapse phenomenon that is now spreading across the world is the harbinger of the next imaginary invasion..."

"——The Fifth Herrscher is about to descend."

Chapter 143 Mei: "If saving Kiana is a sin, then I..."

Otto's calculations were so accurate that even Kevin said after hearing them:

"Yes."

They both have their own goals and are determined to achieve them at all costs. More importantly, they both have a common enemy.

The final ruler of collapse..., the end...

It was precisely because of this that Otto had the confidence to say the next words.

"You have your mission, and I have my wish. But if the Herrscher of the End comes, all of this will cease to exist."

"Time is passing, for you and for me. Rather than being stuck in a meaningless struggle, I think... cooperation is a better choice."

The time has come. Otto has been waiting for this moment. He is 70% sure... No, he must succeed.

——Otto picked up the chess piece that would decide the victory.

"I need something, something that is in your hand but has no value to you. If I get it, my five hundred years of long-cherished wish will be fulfilled."

"In exchange... then, Otto Apokalis will completely disappear from you and the World Serpent."

The temptation of this proposal was so great that even Kevin had to admit that without this uncontrollable factor, the execution of the Stigmata Plan would become much easier.

He then asked, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this question, Otto almost immediately expressed the desire that he had been preparing for for so long.

"The Second God Key, the Key of Eternal Tribulation, the One Vehicle of a Thousand Worlds, I know its 'beacon' is still in your hands."

"The Key of God obtained by Tianming is not complete. Its most important part was sealed into the Quantum Sea by that Forerunner along with you 1500 years ago."

"Its zeroth rated power can only be fully activated under the guidance of the beacon."

This is Otto's most direct desire, but it is also the desire he least wants Kevin to know.

Because he knew very well that with the knowledge of this pioneer, he would not fail to guess...the true purpose of the Key of Eternal Salvation.

"You want to reach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?"

Kevin directly pointed out Otto's intentions.

This is not difficult to guess, because the incomplete key of eternal calamity in Tianming's hand cannot do this.

After Otto realized this, he said bluntly: "That's right! Observation is definitely not the real purpose of the Key of Eternal Tribulation. The purpose of its creation is to reproduce the power of the Herrscher of the Void - to create a gate leading to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers."

"On the other side of the door is the eternal moment, the origin of the end, the birthplace of all truths and laws... It is the destination that I must reach."

However, reaching the Tree of Imaginary Numbers is by no means simple and cost-free.

Kevin was well aware of the consequences of doing so... and he believed that the man in front of him was also aware of it.

"You know the consequences of that."

"I know, and you know, because we both know each other, this deal has its value."

After Otto had fully exposed his intentions, he chose not to waste any more words. He knew how difficult it was to mess with the man in front of him.

"Give me the beacon, and you will get everything in return - peace, resources... and time."

But faced with such generous promises, Kevin did not answer.

He was silent...

Silence, bottomless silence enveloped the world, and all thoughts in Otto's heart also died down.

He has already placed the chess piece, and now all he has to do is wait.

Waiting, that is a word Otto is very familiar with. He has waited for a long time, and he can wait longer.

Then, under his gaze, the white-haired man spoke——

"If you make a request, you must pay a price. What will you give in exchange for it?"

Although it was a rhetorical question, Otto laughed out loud after hearing it.

"Haha, very good, very good! That's right, equality! Equality is the cornerstone and pillar of everything. To complete such a historic cooperation, I must offer an equal sincerity."

"Power, wealth, knowledge, technology, I know these mundane things are not worth mentioning. The only thing that suits you is this gift. If you get it, you will get a perfect puppet, a puppet that can still control destiny after I leave..."

Of course, Otto himself knew that this was pure nonsense.

After all, the price to pay for fulfilling that long-cherished wish is extremely heavy and irreversible. And even if I succeed, do I have to watch the man in front of me... execute that crazy plan successfully?

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

Indeed, the Stigmata Project can help humans defeat the Honkai... but the Stigmata Project is just the Stigmata Project. She doesn't want a world like this...

But no matter how he thought about it, he obviously couldn't see the future world. So when that time came, fate would have to be handed over to someone who could stop Kevin.

Theresa...and her students, and anyone else who can...

So let's keep it for Theresa.

"——Now, I will return "The Void Treasures" to you!"

...

And just before Otto and Kevin's secret negotiations began...

Beichen has already clicked on Chapter 16, the first of two chapters of prologue plot.

After the plot is played, the first thing that appears on the screen is pitch black. Only the narration text displayed in the dialog box can make people understand the situation.

North Africa, Maghreb, somewhere on the high ground outside the Destiny Vimur Laboratory.

huh-huh-

Along with the shouts, a woman wearing a black tights and a black cloak appeared on the screen.

At this moment, she is holding a peculiar sniper rifle in her hand...

"Eh? Isn't this Miss Raven? She... isn't aiming at Kiana?"

A pink barrage floated across the screen.

When Alicia recognized the raven, she immediately sensed danger.

Her intuition was as accurate as ever.

Raven spoke while maintaining his aiming posture.

[.....The Herrscher of the Sky is leaving this desert. Are we just going to watch her escape?]

The Jackal's reply came from the communicator.

[Give her time. This is the Lord's order.]

[“If a grain of wheat dies, it remains just a single grain of wheat; but if it falls into the ground, it produces countless seeds.”]

"I feel like this uncle called Gray Snake... knows a lot of poetry... He should be an excellent student with top grades in school, right?"

A blue bullet screen floated across the screen...

The person who sent the barrage was none other than... Seele, whose presence has often been overshadowed by Alicia recently.

Beichen looked at the barrage list and found that her speaking frequency was actually not low. It was just that she was often covered by other people's speeches...

As a die-hard fan of his, this is a bit tragic.

"If it really was a place like a school, I think he would have to be a vice-principal."

"Vice-Principal? Hmm...why not the Principal?"

"Because the principal is a raven."

"(⊙o⊙)..."

While the two were chatting, the gray snake in the communicator continued to explain to Raven.

[Her shackles have been removed, time will tell...whether the power in that body can take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit.]

【Now, let's focus on more important goals. 】

Raven frowned, but still focused his attention and looked at the ruins in the distance through the Key of God.

The light spot suspended in the air rotates and shrinks in accordance with the user's line of sight, eventually projecting a clear image into her pupils.

In the deserted dead city, a golden hemisphere covered most of the square, which was quite abrupt.

That was the space created by the bishop of destiny using a strange golden fluid. At this moment, there were only him and the leader of the World Serpent in the hemisphere.

"Only him and Otto? No! Otto is a dangerous man, Kevin won't suffer any harm, right?"
