In Otto's original plan, he also needed to use the Void Treasury.
The vastness of the void is indeed a good thing, but its value cannot be compared in this way.
No matter how good the Void Treasury is, how could it possibly be more valuable to Otto than Kallen?
"Bai Chen, do you have a way to stabilize Kallen's state?" Otto didn't respond to Bai Chen's question but asked directly.
“Strictly speaking, not yet.” Bai Chen shrugged at Otto.
He didn't want to deceive Otto on this matter, after all, he wasn't 100% certain he could stabilize Kallen's current state. The fake book was an item provided by the system; as something provided by the system, its effects could be incredibly powerful, but equally, whether he could obtain similar items again was unknown.
However, Bai Chen's arrival suggests he had his reasons. The task items issued by the system and the rewards given upon completion of the task were not entirely unrelated; Bai Chen had long ago discovered that the system's task items were essentially simplified versions of the rewards.
If you are given a temporary pistol during a mission, you will receive a permanent shotgun after completing the mission; if you are given a piece of underwear during a mission, you will receive a permanent worn underwear after completing the mission...
Although there may be some discrepancies, such as receiving muscular men's underwear but receiving worn stockings after completing the task, overall, the rewards do not appear out of thin air, but are related to the task.
Based on this task logic, the task reward obtained after completing this task will definitely be related to the fake book. Even if it cannot be permanently fixed, there will at least be the possibility and hope of summoning it again.
"Do you want to absorb K423?"
Otto, of course, was unaware of the system Bai Chen carried. He assumed that Bai Chen's current Herrscher powers were not yet fully complete, with a portion remaining with Kiana, and for some reason, had not been fully retrieved.
Perhaps after taking back all his powers, he will be able to stabilize Karen's condition.
Bai Chen was taken aback; Otto's wild idea was truly unexpected. Sirin had indeed stolen several cores and placed them within her body, but the multi-core Herrscher only increased her Honkai energy reserves. In reality, aside from her own powers, she could only access very few, almost none, of the other Herrscher cores.
“No, I have my own plans for Kiana. As for Kallen, you should also know that there will be some unexpected reward when the final winner of this competition is determined.” Bai Chen carefully planned his words, telling Otto his intentions in a way that he could understand without revealing the system's secrets.
"I will win this match with Kiana, and after winning, I will be able to gain a deeper understanding of spacetime and find ways to fix their existence."
"You can think of it as an experiment. Although it's only in the theoretical simulation stage now, once the experiment is completed perfectly, I can analyze the results. When I finish my paper, I can submit it to the world and get a new patent."
Bai Chen explained it this way, and Otto nodded to show that he understood.
This explanation is simple and easy to understand. Otto is also someone who often conducts experiments. If we consider the current Karen as an incomplete simulation device, and everything that happens next as a correction experiment for the simulation device, then everything makes sense.
"So let's talk about Karen's problem next." Bai Chen picked up a peanut and shook the wine glass in his hand at Otto.
"Tell me your price first." Otto generously extended his hand to Bai Chen.
His finger pointed to the vast, vibrant city outside, bathed in the glow of neon lights at night, where the entire city exuded the splendor and captivating atmosphere of human civilization.
"The Destiny is the most powerful organization in the world. Even nations cannot contend with it. We possess the most advanced technology and the strongest power in the world. We are the guardians of human civilization and the strongest line of defense between the Honkai and humanity."
“And I am the Archbishop of Destiny. As long as you ask, there is nothing in this world that I cannot obtain.”
As Otto spoke, his tone was indifferent, and there was no proud expression on his face; he was simply stating a trivial fact.
“Someone like you wouldn’t obey the dictates of Honkai, nor would you be a righteous person with a heart for the world like Welt. So you’ve come to me today because there must be something you want to get.”
“You’re right, Otto, there is something I do want.”
Bai Chen put down his wine glass, extended his index finger, and pointed at Otto's chest.
"I want to form a club, the Starry Sky Club, which should contain the strongest human power and wisdom, such as you."
"Oh? What do you want to do by forming such an organization?" Otto wasn't surprised, but asked carefully.
"Don't you think it's incredibly boring that, through cycle after cycle, through era after era, we can't even leave the solar system, and that vast expanse of stars is forever so far away from us?"
Bai Chen looked up at the starry sky above the city.
"He has been in heaven for so long, he must be very fat. It would be very interesting if we could pull him down and eat him, and take his place."
What do you think, Otto?
"Perhaps I can become a new Honkai God, one with complete self-awareness, unrestricted by any civilization, and even transcending the world."
Chapter Thirty-Eight: How Many Bright Moons Are There in the Sky?
Even Otto never imagined becoming a Honkai God unrestricted by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, the Sea of Quanta, and the current world's civilization.
Because it's impossible.
Just like the characters in a comic book, no matter how hard they try, they can never break through the plane and hurt the artist outside the paper.
How can life born within the world seek a way to transcend it?
“That’s a truly ambitious goal,” Otto said with a smile and a shake of his head.
He felt that Bai Chen was just talking, setting himself an ultimate yet distant and unattainable goal. This wasn't something to be ashamed of; for scientists, many at the forefront would say that their research goal was to pursue the ultimate unified theory.
They certainly knew that even if they devoted their entire lives to it, the Grand Unified Theory would remain an unattainable dream, just as the famous saying of Wernher von Braun, the father of rocketry, goes.
"Our goal is the stars and the sea, but sometimes we fall to the ground."
Only by looking up can you possibly touch the moon; by walking with your head down, you will only ever pick up stones on the ground.
Bai Chen didn't want to explain his system to Otto. Based on the previous world he had experienced, he probably would have to become a simulated Honkai God to clear the Honkai world.
If he meets enough conditions, he can simulate the power of a broken will and seize the power of the world. At that time, will there still be room for two moons in the sky?
"To achieve great things, you need great ideals. So, are you going to refuse?"
"Of course not. If you can bring Kallen back, I will support you and move forward towards your great cause. After all, fighting the Honkai is our common goal. As for who will reap the most delicious fruit after the victory against the Honkai, I don't care."
Otto spoke frankly, saying that although for centuries he had acted like a cunning and scheming tyrant, manipulating destiny to do things that ordinary people could not understand, his purpose was not to gain power or strength, but simply to resurrect someone.
You could say he was a great collaborator, because only he cared about the share of the pie he wanted; at least to Bai Chen, Karen's life or death was of no value.
"Then it's settled. I trust the Archbishop's promise. Now, please enjoy the ball I'm hosting."
Bai Chen downed the rest of his drink in one gulp. He wasn't worried at all about Otto breaking the contract, since he was essentially holding a hostage, and the cost of killing the hostage was something Otto absolutely couldn't afford.
Besides, Alto isn't the kind of person who would easily break a contract.
He's not the easily fooled Fu Hua.
Before leaving, Bai Chen waved to Karen, who had been watching from the sidelines: "I'm also looking forward to Miss Karen's performance. After all, we are all daughters of the Kaslana family, and I want to see who is stronger."
He disappeared silently into the room, following the spatial contours. Karen stared at the direction he left in for a long time before finally getting up from the back of the sofa.
"What does he mean?"
Although she overheard Bai Chen and Otto's conversation, Kallen didn't really grasp the meaning of what they were saying. The topics involved Honkai Gods, stars in the sky, and the universe sounded like the fairy tales she told the orphanage children before bedtime.
After all, Karen is still a nun from 500 years ago, in the medieval church.
However, it was Bai Chen's last words before leaving that bothered her somewhat.
"Several people who participated this time are from the Kaslana family. They are all outstanding juniors of the Kaslana family, including a little one who is very close to me."
Otto smiled. He hadn't introduced Theresa to Karen yet; after all, Theresa was his granddaughter, and he hoped for a better occasion to introduce her. Besides, he was confident Karen would like this innocent and adorable junior, Theresa, since they really did resemble each other somewhat.
There's also Cecilia. I have something to say to Cecilia, but I haven't had the chance before. Now I finally have the opportunity.
"I really look forward to seeing them again..."
------
While Bai Chen and Otto were drinking and talking, the twins in the imaginary space, Lilia and Rosalia, were already engaged in a difficult battle.
After realizing that her shouts had no effect and that the only way to get out was to obediently learn the method, Rosalia had no choice but to accept reality.
However, as the worst of the worst in Cocolia's orphanage, a naughty child who never listens in class and always takes the opportunity to go out and play, and whose homework is all done by Lilia, it is really not a feat that Rosalia can accomplish by studying hard.
In fact, she couldn't even recognize all the characters.
After all, there are always some obscure characters in poems.
"The bright moonlight shines before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground..."
Lilia, however, made rapid progress. After reading through the entire book, she quickly selected the simplest and shortest poems, and now she had reached the last one.
After repeating it several times to confirm that her memory was correct, Lilia raised her hand high.
"Lilia has finished memorizing it. Lilia has a test to take."
The imaginary space immediately changed, and a separate compartment surrounded Lilia. Bai Chen, who had been paying attention to this area, appeared in the compartment and sat in the chair opposite Lilia.
"Good job, let's begin."
Without wasting any words, Lilia took advantage of her still-clear memory and began memorizing one song after another.
There were no difficult poems that Bai Chen needed to specifically look up in the book for; the memorization was completed quickly.
"Although there were a few mistakes, you managed to memorize the general idea in such a short time, so I'll consider you as having passed."
Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction, opened the door between the imaginary space and the real world, and took Lilia out of the imaginary space.
The huge study room was suddenly left with only Rosalia, which made the already dissatisfied pink-haired girl completely explode.
"Herrscher! If you've got the guts, come down and fight me! What kind of skill is it to bully a child? If you're so capable, go bully Cocolia's mother!"
"Let me out! Let me out now! I want to go out and eat watermelon, barbecue, and fried chicken! My conch shell is still on the beach, and I want to eat dinner!"
"Ahhhh!"
But Rosalia's cries had no effect, and she would soon find out that no one would come to her rescue that day.
Inside the hotel's private room, at the dining table, Kiana stared in horror at the girl who had suddenly appeared in her seat.
At this moment, Lilia was still wearing the school swimsuit she had been playing in on the beach.
"So you've finally started trafficking children?!"
--------------
P.S.: The Honkai's setting is that the stronger you (civilization and individual Herrscher) are, the stronger the Honkai becomes. However, the protagonist is not from this world, and he is not connected to civilization or Honkai. This is a basic setting.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Princess of the Serene Night
Tonight's dinner is a fried chicken set meal.
Although he wanted Lilia to bring the fried chicken back to Rosalia to eat, Bai Chen temporarily gave up on this devilish idea after Fu Hua's persuasion.
"So these are the friends Bronya mentioned before, the friends she had in the orphanage." Kiana rang the bell and had the hotel staff bring up two sets of clothes that fit Lilia. After helping Lilia change in the bedroom, she took her out to eat.
"Is Bronya here too? Cocolia's mother said that Bronya ran away and she's still looking for her." Lilia looked around, trying to find Bronya.
Bai Chen placed a yellowed fake book beside him: "Of course not, but if you are willing to participate in my upcoming ball activities, you will be able to meet your sister Bronya."
"This isn't right. How can we bring such a young child in?" Kiana immediately objected.
