The roar of the engines gradually subsided, and the two ships stopped in front of the airport according to the guidance of the mooring system.

The hatch opened and Li Wen jumped off the ship and landed on the solid metal ground.

Blake clung tightly to his shoulders, looking around curiously.

Li Wen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that in the 500 years since he left, Tianming's technology had advanced to such a level that the headquarters had been built into an island floating in the air.

"Your Excellency." Rita led the "Immortal Blade" out of the Eos and saluted respectfully to Otto who appeared at the airport.

"Your Excellency the Bishop." The other Valkyries also quickly echoed.

Bishop? Doesn't that mean...

Hearing the Valkyries' shouts, Li Wen immediately turned his head.

A man dressed in priest's attire, with his long golden hair tied into a ponytail hanging down in front of his chest, appeared before him.

Familiar face, different expression.

The other person's face gradually overlapped with the figure in his memory until they became completely one.

There was no mistake, this was his brother, his only relative in the world now - Otto Apokalis.

More than five hundred years have left no trace on the other's face, or it can be said that the prosthesis has preserved the other's past.

Li Wen just stared at the other person, the current bishop who was destined to be his successor.

He is different from his father... Li Wen thought so.

He did not have the majesty and ruthlessness that his father always displayed in order to maintain the authority of the Bishop of Heaven's Mandate. Instead, he always had a gentle expression on his face and seemed very humble.

It is hard to associate such a smiling young man with the Bishop of Destiny who dominates the world.

but……

Li Wen glanced at the Valkyries whose eyes showed respect, admiration and fanaticism.

He could confirm that Otto was more of a bishop than his father, Nicholas.

A bishop who truly controls destiny.

Li Wen took a deep breath, then strode forward and walked directly in front of Otto.

His emotions were full of fluctuations, and it was this feeling that made him insist on wanting to come back here.

He had a lot to say and ask.

He wanted to ask about the other party's current situation, the experiences over the past five hundred years, and the changes since he left.

However, after thinking for a long time, he only blurted out four words.

"I am back."

Although Otto maintained his usual composure, there was a slight tremor in his voice. "Well. Welcome back."

……

In an ordinary reception room, Li Wen and Otto sat on either side of the table.

There were only two of them in the reception room; even Amber, whom Otto trusted the most, could not stay here.

Because this is Apokalypse's family affair.

As for Blake, who had been following Li Wen, Li Wen also left him to Rita's care.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly, neither of them speaking first.

Time is a strange thing. It first took a long time to rob the brotherhood between the two people, and then took some time to return it.

After a long time, Li Wen finally spoke.

"That person named Amber...what's her relationship with Kallen?"

Although the other person looked exactly like Karin, he could tell that he was not Karin.

Since they were childhood playmates, Karen would definitely not have this attitude when she saw him.

The other party acted like a complete stranger to him.

"Amber is a clone I created using Kallen's DNA." Otto was silent for a moment before answering.

"Clones made from Karen's DNA..." Li Wen suddenly had a bad guess in his mind.

He also had some knowledge of the technology of cloning. In the eyes of many people, this kind of cloning made by extracting other people's DNA was a complete blasphemy to the original owner of the DNA.

He didn't think that Otto, who regarded Kallen as his only one, would do such a thing under normal circumstances.

and so……

"Where's Kallen?" He tried to make his voice sound calmer.

"She's dead."

After a long while, Otto's low voice finally echoed in the empty reception room.

Chapter 2 My feet are already deep in the pool of blood

"Karen...is dead..."

Li Wen murmured Otto's words again, still somewhat incredulous.

Since Otto is still alive, Kallen definitely cannot have died due to lifespan reasons.

That means something unexpected happened to Kallen?

However, Kallen Kaslana is the first Valkyrie of Destiny, and she has the divine key "Judas' Oath" in her hand. Who can kill her?

As if he saw Li Wen's doubt, Otto spoke again: "It was me and Tianming who killed her together."

Afterwards, Li Wen learned what had happened after he left.

Kallen discovered that Destiny was conducting human experiments, confronted Otto, was judged by Destiny, and how Kallen died in order to protect the people...

Otto recounted the events one after another.

Without taking sides, he just told everything calmly.

The calmer he was, the more Li Wen could understand his inner pain.

Apart from Otto himself, no one knew better than him what kind of position Karen Kaslana held in Otto's heart.

And now Kallen Kaslana is dead...

He died in Otto's scheme, which he thought could save the other party...

"So, you overthrew the rule of destiny for this?" Li Wen asked.

"I guess so." Otto sighed deeply, "I don't want the name 'Karen' to experience any more failures. This can be considered selfish on my part.

"Even if I forgive anyone, I will never forgive myself or Lisa Shaniat."

Otto called his sister by her name, but Li Wen didn't react at all.

He had disliked that ambitious woman since he was a child, not to mention that she had even poisoned their father in pursuit of power.

Li Wen closed his eyes and began to calm himself down quietly.

He hadn't expected that his departure would lead to an intensification of the conflict between the three major families and the Castle Council, not to mention that the Apokalyps family would even personally judge the descendants of the Kaslana family.

Because he wasn't here, he couldn't lend a hand when Kallen and Otto needed him most.

If he had been there at that time, would the ending have been better?

Don't fight against others.

However, there are no ifs in life. When he came back and received this information, they were already a foregone conclusion.

He has no power to change them.

He sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry."

"This is not your problem." As if he had vented all his emotions, Otto returned to his smiling face.

It was as if the silence just now was just a hint of empathy when hearing other people's stories.

Now that the story was over, he had regained his composure.

However, Li Wen knew that this was just a mask that Otto Apokalis put on himself.

A mask called "Bishop of Heaven's Fate".

As the Bishop of Heaven's Destiny, he is the only one who can control others, and there is absolutely no reason for him to be controlled by others.

Li Wen gradually began to guess what this "control" needed to accomplish.

"What are your plans?" he asked suddenly.

"Resurrect Kallen Kaslana." Otto said word by word, his tone firm and unquestionable.

He didn't want to hide his thoughts from Li Wen. After all, the other party was the person who understood him best in the world.

The plan to resurrect Kallen...

At this moment, Kiana's words flashed through Li Wen's mind again. It was Otto who turned her into that.

Thinking of this, he spoke again, "I met a girl on the road."

"I know. Rita has already reported it to me."

"Is she... also in your plan?" Li Wen asked hesitantly.

"Of course." Otto's tone rose slightly, as if with a hint of joy, "She is an indispensable part."

Listening to Otto's excited tone, Li Wen couldn't feel happy, even though the person he was resurrecting was his best friend.

Judging from the previous reactions of Kiana, Jizi and others, Li Wen estimated that this so-called plan must have caused great harm to them.

Otherwise, the other party would not have reacted like that immediately after hearing that he was just Otto's younger brother.

Even though, he didn't know and never participated in any of Otto's plans.

Especially that red twintailed Dr. Lobster...

He seems to be taking his anger out on himself, which is probably what they call hating the whole house and the whole dog.

So, at this moment, Li Wen really wanted to know what impact Otto's plan had.

So he told Otto his idea.

Otto agreed without hesitation.

The story begins with the first collapse of Berlin, Germany in 1952...

In order to consolidate his power, he killed the First Herrscher Walter Joyce, and the strongest Valkyrie of the time, Reanna...

Then in the second collapse, in order to get an answer from the God of Collapse, he caused tens of millions of innocent people to die in the catastrophe.

Afterwards, he conducted a series of experiments that pushed the people of Saint Freya to their current situation.

Otto Apokalis confessed his sins and obsessions to the man before him, no matter how big or small.

He knew how unscrupulous what he had done was, but he would not regret it.

Because, that's what Otto Apokalis does.

As he listened to Otto's words, Li Wen's expression became more and more solemn.

Everything Otto did was inseparable from his "reason"; however, everything he did was more "cruel" than the most ferocious beast.

At this moment, Li Wen couldn't help but have another thought - if Otto Apokalis hadn't met Karen Kaslana, would he have lived a better life.

More than five hundred years of persistence, the light that pulled Otto out of the abyss, has become his curse at this moment.

"Can't you just give up?" Li Wen asked with a glimmer of hope.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. After all, my feet are already mired in blood. If I don't wade through it and move forward, the road back will be tiresome." Otto's face showed no trace of remorse.

"...You know, even if she is resurrected, she will not be happy about what you did." After a long time, Li Wen slowly spoke.

"Haha, that's a matter for later." Otto simply smiled. "As long as I can reawaken Kallen Kaslana's consciousness, even if Otto Apokalis himself disappears, it will be worth it for me."

For Kallen, Otto would not hesitate to sacrifice even his own life, let alone the lives of others.

Therefore, ordinary righteousness and reason are of no use in persuading Otto to stop these plans.
