After Otto surpassed the Stigmata Project, even if he chose to annihilate this timeline, it would not be much worse for Kevin than the Stigmata Project.
If that's the case, why stop it?
Kevin is a guarantee for the current civilization, not a defender of the current civilization order. He has no right to interfere with the choice of a person in the current civilization who may surpass himself.
An Qi looked at Kevin with a hint of pity in her eyes and said:
"I am not you, I am closely related to this era."
"So you want to interfere with Otto, or even replace him? If that's the case, the abilities of Mebius and Velvet can really help."
"Whether it's the Stigmata Project or the Herrscher of the End, I will never let anything that belongs to me be taken away again."
"Very good. I hope you succeed."
Kevin said sincerely.
An Qi didn't know how to comfort this man who had already made up his mind to die, or maybe he didn't need any comfort at all, he just needed relief.
"For Alicia's sake, what kind of funeral do you want?"
“…You are very confident.”
"I will erect a tombstone for you and write... well, I'll ask you in the afterlife when the time comes."
"It's up to you, if you can."
Although they talked about life and death and tombstones, there was no hostility or tension, and their conversation was as plain as water.
Then it was time for a joyful dinner.
At least [Fu Hua] was really happy. Fu Hua couldn't help but smile. Although she didn't say much, everyone could see that she was in a very relaxed mood.
Unfortunately, no matter how rare the reunion party is, it will come to an end.
During the conversation, Fu Hua gradually understood what An Qi was going to do, so at the end of the meal, she pulled An Qi aside and said:
"Otto is in danger. How about I go with you to the headquarters of the Destiny so I can keep an eye on him."
"Master, I have no shortage of military power. But if possible, I would like to borrow your strength."
What Angel wanted was Fu Hua's power of knowledge, an ability that could ensure the detection of lies - not to prevent herself from being deceived by Otto, but to convince others and ensure that after the conversation, the geniuses would be convinced of Angel's judgment.
Fu Hua and [Fu Hua] readily agreed.
Therefore, the Tianming Headquarters Travel Group added another small team.
……
Otto explained Angel's disturbance with a new Herrscher experiment.
Through experiments, S-class Valkyrie Angel gained combat power beyond her limits, and with the help of Yulandel and Yaezakura, she successfully passed the initial stage of losing control of herself, marking another milestone victory for Destiny in its fight against the collapse.
That's roughly what they say.
There's no way. We can't tell the Valkyries that the headquarters was blown up, our strongest force was defeated, and the Archbishop is now controlled by others... then Destiny will really collapse, this is no joke.
In short, under Otto's skilled public opinion strategy, the people of Sky Island accepted this inspiring message. Not only did it not dampen their morale, but they threw themselves into the reconstruction work with high spirits.
"Ugh……"
At night, Dale, her little sister, sat on the roof of a half-built building, drinking water, looking at the moon and sighing.
"Hey, why does our Yulandel look so listless? This is not like you."
"… Bishop, I am so ashamed to say that you can still laugh. They don't know the situation, but don't you know the current situation?"
Yulandel looked at her hands, clenched her fists, and trembled slightly.
To this day, she still feels dazed and incredulous when she thinks of Angel's incredible power.
Yulandel is not a humanoid steel. She also gets anxious and doubts herself. From Skyfire to Kevin, and then to Angel, she has experienced several failures in this short period of time. It is impossible for her to remain indifferent.
Otto put his hands behind his back leisurely, also looking up at the moon, and said:
"So, you're scared?"
"I'm not afraid, but I..."
"Feeling frustrated? Come to think of it, you seem to have rarely encountered failures while growing up. You are indeed inexperienced in this area."
"Your Excellency, are you here to comfort me?"
Yulandel stood up, turned around, and looked at Otto belatedly.
Otto smiled and handed over a towel to wipe the sweat. He looked at Yulan Daier, the student he was very proud of, and said:
"Do you know how Rita feels when she looks at you, and how Wendy feels when she looks at Delta?"
"what?"
"It's the same feeling you have when you look at Angie now. No, it should be said that they are far more frustrated than you, because you know that you still have a lot of potential and the possibility of catching up with Angie. But they are all mortals, and no matter what, they can never catch up with real monsters. Even so, they still continue to hone themselves, improve themselves in various aspects, and become true S-class Valkyries."
Otto patted Youlandel on the shoulder, and as she looked thoughtful, he continued:
"There must have been nights when Rita and Wendy thought about their most admired and dearest friends, accepted the cruel reality that they could never fight alongside them, and shed tears of pain, self-blame, and despair. Yulandel, you are a genius, and you who can continue to grow rapidly cannot understand such sorrow."
"Your Excellency, I..."
"Listen to me, Yulandel. I know you have encountered many setbacks recently. But in my opinion, these setbacks are good for you. They allow you to finally understand the feelings of ordinary people and understand the feelings of Rita and others. Remember this feeling and keep going, and you will become better."
Otto raised his hand and gently stroked Yulandel's head, just like when she was a child, Otto gave her a reward after answering her questions.
Then he turned and left, leaving Yulandel time to think.
"Rita's...mood..."
Yulandel pressed her chest, feeling the depressed mood. It was hard to reconcile it with the always elegant and calm Rita, and she couldn't imagine Rita sobbing alone in the middle of the night.
After a long time, Youlandel raised the corner of her mouth and lowered her head to sniff the sweat on her body.
"You'd better go back and take a shower quickly, otherwise Rita will play that weird joke on you again."
Chapter 420 The story will be a bit long
"Oh, I am such a busy person as the Archbishop of Destiny. I have to worry about the reconstruction of Sky Island, the feelings of Yulandel, and the health of Sakura. Oh, it would be great if there was a gentle, kind, upright and brave priestess to take over my job!"
"...Mr. Otto, I'm right in front of you."
"Oh? It's Sakura, when did you come?"
"This is my home, Mr. Otto."
Yaesakura looked at Otto blankly. She was speechless and a little guilty about his pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.
Although Otto is indeed a bad person, this whole ordeal was caused by Angie. Am I already darker than Mr. Otto?
I'm so awesome, with my hands on my .
Although she was ready to put her hands on her hips, Yaesakura Angel still felt a little guilty, after all, she was facing the real person.
Then, Yaezakura softened her expression and said with concern:
"How is the situation on Sky Island? Is Yulandel okay?"
"It's all good. Don't treat the headquarters that I have worked so hard on for many years as a paper tiger. It was only the surface that was damaged by the aftermath. There is no big problem inside. Just repair it. I think Anqi also knows the significance of the headquarters, so she should pay attention to it. As for Youlan Daier, instead of worrying about the unbeatable child, you might as well worry about yourself. You are more seriously injured than her. Even the Jizo spirit has cracks."
The Chimera Body was indeed strong, so An Qi, who had not yet completely controlled it, naturally poured more power on her own people. After all, her own people could not die, but Yulan Daier might not. She had no grudge against her, so she would not be so cruel.
The result was that Yaezakura's injuries were much more serious than Yulandel's.
I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why Yulandel is in a low mood.
Yaesakura smiled nonchalantly.
"What problem can I have? You know that my original body is the Key of God. As long as the Jizo Soul is not destroyed, I will be fine. Besides, I still have the Serenity Stone. Even if the Jizo Soul can't hold on, maybe I can create a physical body for myself. Anyway, it's not that fragile."
"I can rest assured that."
Otto smiled on his face but sighed in his heart.
The heroes he knew all had this virtue, caring about the people around them - even if they were just strangers, more than they cared about themselves.
Many people would think this kind of selfless altruism is stupid, but Otto never thinks so. Even though he occasionally takes advantage of such qualities, he truly admires such people.
"Mr. Otto, Angie's side..."
"Don't worry, I've told you. I know what's going on. There won't be any problems. I think you should think about which day is auspicious for the new archbishop to take the throne."
"Even if you say that, I still need to rest. I won't take your place and work overtime right now."
"Tsk!"
Otto looked bored as if his little trick had been discovered, and he stood up and was about to leave.
When I reached the door, I heard Yaesakura's gentle and sweet voice behind me:
"If Mr. Otto needs me, I can stop Angie for a long time, regardless of everything. It is not impossible to defeat her...as long as you need me to."
Otto's hand, which was about to open the door, paused for half a second.
Obviously, this means that she is willing to die for him.
Then, Otto waved behind him and left Yaesakura's house without looking back.
……
Three days meant three days. Angie found Otto on time, and Otto also prepared a room for them to chat.
Otto was in his usual laid-back Brinjoya style; he prepared tea and snacks, and brewed tea for Angie himself.
"I heard that this body of yours is the so-called Chimera gene, a technology that only Kevin has successfully used?"
"Yes."
"No wonder he is so incredibly strong. With your power of plundering power, I'm afraid you are already capable of competing with that man, right?"
"I haven't played it yet, so I can't say for sure."
An Qi replied calmly.
The atmosphere was not solemn, but rather peaceful, like that of old friends, as if the quarrel three days ago had never happened.
Otto smiled gently and said:
"I think I understand what you're thinking. You've also seen the power that can be gained by reaching the Tree of Void. To this end, you've invited a team of geniuses from two epochs, and you're planning to let me be the first test subject?"
"You can say that. I think you would like to do that."
"I think my plan is already perfect enough. However, in terms of scientific research ability, I dare not say that I am better than those four doctors. I am of course happy to have them review and revise my plan."
"Then, let's solve the last question - Otto Apokalis, why did you climb the Tree of Illusion? Don't try to lie. I have borrowed the power of my master. In front of me now, any lie of yours is like a newspaper under a magnifying glass. All of them are clearly visible."
Angie drank a sip of tea and looked at Otto quietly, waiting for the answer she already knew.
Of course, Otto didn't know how special the Angel in front of him was. For him, this was the first time he revealed to someone the obsession that had been hidden for five hundred years.
It needs a little brewing.
It also requires a little awareness.
After a while, Otto said calmly:
"As you know, I am happy and even eager to be the subject of this experiment. So, to make sure I convince you, I will start from the beginning. The story will be a bit long, so I hope you can be patient."
"It doesn't matter. Humans and civilization don't have much time left, but we still have a day or two to listen."
"The story begins five hundred years ago, in my childhood..."
Otto gradually fell into memories.
He wanted the help of the dream team and needed Angie's cooperation, so he abandoned his personal dignity and devoted himself to telling the story of him and Karin.
The first encounter at the corner of the courtyard wall was the first ray of light shining into my inferiority-complex and cowardly life.
In response to the girl's dream, he devoted himself to research and invention and became her best supporter.
In the Qincha Grassland, Tianming's greedy and arrogant expedition to the east was blocked by the Ming Empire, so he used the collapse energy weapons without any bottom line, and finally attracted the attention of the Red Iris Immortal at that time. Seeing the girl tasted failure, but no matter what, she was still alive, Otto thanked the Red Iris Immortal profusely.
The turning point begins here.
After the girl emerged from the shadow of defeat, she began to reflect deeply on what Tianming had done. In order to resist the evil means of oppression such as indulgences introduced by the corrupt upper echelons, she transformed into the strange thief Ziyi who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and finally stole the sealed Jizo spirit that Tianming intended to use to restart the war.
Chapter 421 At this moment, the yellow robe is on
