Collapse, the beginning will avoid 500 years of detours

Otto smiled, and his words lowered the temperature of the dinner a few degrees. No one had ever dared to tell Nicolas to his face that he was old and no longer capable.

But Otto sat in his old seat and looked around. The people at the table hadn't changed much from six years ago. The only thing that had changed was probably his nephew Marshall sitting in the seat where his eldest brother used to sit.

Seeing Otto looking at her, Otto's sister-in-law Jane showed a stiff smile. After her husband's death, her health condition deteriorated, and her child was young. She didn't know whether Otto's return this time would have any impact on her child's status.

"Humph."

Nicholas snorted coldly, but did not start an argument with Otto. He just took out a piece of information from his arms and asked the maid to pass it to Otto.

"This is a special medicine for treating the Black Death. You should make the special medicine in the next few days and then go to save the people in the town."

Nicholas didn't know that this prescription was spread by Otto. As Otto looked at the prescription handed over by the maid, he knew exactly what Nicholas meant. The old man wanted him to build momentum, and the reason for doing so was...

Because Kallen likes it.

In Nicolas's eyes, Kallen is an extremely naive person. She is willing to damage the interests of Destiny and use Destiny's property to help ordinary people who can't get anything out of it. But Kallen's strength is really terrifying. Coupled with the help of her brothers and sisters, Destiny now has the final say in the Kaslana family!

Even though he hadn't abdicated yet, in the eyes of others, Kallen seemed to be the destined bishop.

But Nicholas was helpless against Kallen. He knew Kallen's strength. At least in the West, Kallen was undoubtedly the strongest king. Nicholas, who was unwilling to let Apokalis become a vassal of Kaslana, could only hide his strength and wait for an opportunity.

Otto's return gave Nicolas hope.

Even though the two hadn't seen each other for six years, as long as Otto was packaged as the type of person Karen would like, coupled with their childhood friendship, and the saying that time can beautify memories, Nicholas believed that Otto would most likely win Karen over.

Otto knew exactly what Nicholas was thinking, but forget about marrying Kallen.

"Ah."

Otto at least responded briefly, and Nicolas didn't say anything either. In his eyes, Otto's return this time must have impure motives, perhaps he was coming for Kallen.

In this way, even though the father and son had not seen each other for six years, they did not ask each other about their recent situation when they met again, but instead completed a calculation first.

The dinner was held in a very strange atmosphere. In the past, the Apocalis family had no habit of chatting while eating, but perhaps because of the electric current, the second brother Fabian became bolder.

"Otto, have you been in Shenzhou all these years?"

Fabian asked. Although Otto had mentioned it before, he did not ask in detail in order to hurry on his way.

Originally, everyone who was eating looked at Otto, and Nicholas did not emphasize the etiquette of eating to his son. Because of the Western King's plan for Shenzhou, they were particularly concerned about the news of Shenzhou.

“Just some leisure time in the mountains.”

Otto said with a smile.

"So what do you think...if hundreds of us Western Heavenly Kings attack Shenzhou together, can we take it?"

Even though Fabian didn't say it explicitly, his words were almost the same as saying it, because everyone present knew about the plan of the Eastern Expedition.

"I'm afraid that the Martial God of Shenzhou will find it difficult to resist."

Otto commented simply.

This is the truth.

"Because their evaluation method for Martial Gods is different from that of Western Heavenly Kings, even if one doesn't need to possess overwhelming strength, as long as they have some social skills, they can become Martial Gods."

Of course, the reason why the God of War was driven by electric current was that he was swept by Otto.

"Oh? Doesn't that mean there aren't even a hundred Martial Gods who can rival our Heavenly King?"

Fabian was a little surprised.

"About forty or so."

Otto guessed.

Nicholas and Lisa couldn't help but hold their breath. Forty or so people against hundreds, this was a complete crushing defeat.

They all supported the Eastern Expedition plan because they wanted to inflict losses on both the Heavenly Kings and Shenzhou. But now it seems that the Heavenly Kings attacked Shenzhou just to make money. If the Heavenly Mandates did not go, they would not be qualified to divide Shenzhou.

However, neither of them showed their emotions on their faces. After all, Karen was the one who made the decisions in Tianming now, and their opinions did not count.

Nicholas knew Kallen's stubbornness, and he wondered if Otto could persuade Kallen, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, if Kallen's favorability towards Otto decreased, it would be more trouble than gain.

"Then Otto, do you think that our Heavenly King should attack Shenzhou?"

Fabian asked. His younger brother seemed to be very opinionated, and this issue had been a topic of discussion within Tianming for some time.

As a king close to Kaslana's faction, Fabian naturally listens to Kallen, but the problem now is that the kings don't even need the king of destiny to conquer Shenzhou.

"Of course I should!"

Otto replied.

"We should gather all the Heavenly Kings and attack Shenzhou together. No one should stay in the West, lest our homes be stolen by other Heavenly Kings when we attack Shenzhou."

There is no doubt that Otto agreed with the King's attack on Shenzhou.

After all, it would be so troublesome and time-consuming to find these Heavenly Kings one by one and deal with them. It would be much easier to let them form a group and send them together. At that time, the Chiyuan Immortal would defeat those Heavenly Kings in the front, and I would follow behind to cut off their retreat and ensure that they were all wiped out.

In Otto's mind, all the kings were just a group of dying people.

"...Shenzhou, don't you have anyone you care about?"

Fabian felt that his brother was a little impatient, and he was silent for a moment, then said, "But you must never tell Kallen these words."

Kallen, who opposed the expedition, definitely didn't want to hear these words.

“It’s just something that’s bound to happen.”

Otto said nonchalantly that most of the Western kings were scoundrels, rogues, greedy, shameless, ignorant, without ideals, without souls, short-sighted, and only wanted to make a little profit for themselves. They only gained the power of electric current by luck, and if these insects did not unite to launch foreign wars, civil war would sooner or later break out.

So, they must attack Shenzhou.

In order to prevent his own base from being stolen when attacking Shenzhou, he would definitely tie all the kings to this chariot.

The Destiny led by Kallen is in an awkward position. The Destiny is not very sociable. After defeating Shenzhou normally, these kings will definitely unite to deal with Kallen and Destiny.

It’s a pity that these people were doomed to have no future after they decided to attack Shenzhou.

Fabian sighed. His eldest brother died in the war, and he did not want the war to break out. He clearly had the power, and he could have used this power to deal with the original enemy of mankind - the Honkai beasts. But since everyone had this power, the entire West seemed to be in chaos.

Many people even regard the electric current as the power of the devil, believing that it is the devil who has bewitched these kings.

Speaking of which...

Fabian suddenly remembered a small incident six years ago. He had seen Otto jump onto the wall and then leap down, which was something that the weak Otto should not have been able to do.

My heart moved.

"Otto, you...could you be the Martial God of Shenzhou?"

"Maybe you, second brother, have heard of my name."

Otto smiled and said, "Many people call me the Eastern Heavenly King."

When he was in the West, he was the King of Heaven. When he arrived in Shenzhou, he became the God of War of Shenzhou.

Everyone at the table opened their eyes wide, because with the outbreak of the Black Death, the reputation of the doctor who came from the easternmost part had already spread to Tianming. Tianming even extended an olive branch to the king, but was rejected.

Now, the youngest son of the Apokalyps family actually claimed that he was the king who possessed both strength and character...

Nicholas observed Otto, but saw only a calm expression.

Otto placed the prescription that Nicolas had just given him on the table and tapped it lightly with his finger.

“This is my masterpiece.”

"well……"

Fabian looked at his brother in surprise, "Good boy! You know, Kallen said that she regretted not being able to bring you, the Eastern Heavenly King, to Tianming, and regretted not going to invite you in person. But the Eastern Heavenly King disappeared some time ago..."

"But at that time I felt that being a doctor couldn't save Westerners, so I just came back."

Otto said with a smile.

If we want to save you Westerners, we can only kill them. Kill all these kings who are causing trouble, and then the world will be clean.

Otto felt the need to clean up the world he had soiled.

Everyone was silent for a moment as they digested the news that Otto was actually a powerful king, but Nicolas was a little excited, but despite having a smile on his face, he was worried at Lisa's words.

She was worried that Otto would bring changes to her plans.

After being driven by the electric current, her ambition completely grew and spread in her heart, and there was no turning back.

"It's a pity Kallen isn't here right now."

Fabian sighed again. He felt that if Kallen met Otto and knew that Otto was the Eastern Heavenly King she had always admired, she would definitely be very excited, because Kallen had always said that it would be great if there were more saints like the Eastern Heavenly King.

"How about I send someone to notify Kallen?"

"Do not bother."

Otto just shook his head.

He was not in a hurry to see Kallen, otherwise it would seem as if he had some intentions towards her. However, she was worthy of being a beautiful star god. Even though the electric current had brought many crazy people into the world, she was still as white as a small white flower.

Even if this Kallen is not the [Beautiful] Saint Kallen, after cleaning up the West, I should be able to hand it over to her for management.

After finishing his business in the West, Otto would of course return to Taixu Mountain. After all, in his eyes, Taixu Mountain was his home, and there were people waiting for him there.

The dinner ended in a strange atmosphere. Except for Fabian, everyone else had their own ulterior motives, but Otto didn't care what they were planning. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how sophisticated the calculations were, they were useless.

Especially since Otto can read minds.

A week after Otto returned to Apokalis's home, Kallen, who had been out on business, returned to Tianming.

That afternoon.

Otto finally met Kallen.

……

PS: Good night.

……

Chapter 208 Reunion with Kallen.

With her ponytail swinging, the slim girl rushed into Otto's room. Otto, who was sitting by the window, looked up. When he saw the beautiful girl standing in front of him, he put down the book in his hand and spoke with a smile.

"Long time no see, Kallen."

With a gentle tone, Otto looked at Kallen in front of him. The girl he hadn't seen in six years had grown into a beautiful girl, but her blue eyes were still shining as brightly as they were six years ago.

In the current Kallen, Otto saw some of Kiana's shadow.

"Otto!"

Seeing the man in front of her, Karen's eyes slowly widened, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and she subconsciously took two steps forward.

When I came to my senses, Kallen had already hugged me.

Obviously, Otto did not hug her when they parted, but when they met again, she took the initiative to hug Otto.

"Great, you're back..."

Burying her face in Otto's chest, Kallen couldn't help but feel at ease, just like the feeling she had when she hugged her father before. But ever since the power awakened in her body, and with the expectations of her family and others, she had never acted like a spoiled child to anyone again.

However, when she saw Otto, the longing she once had for him surged from her heart. Perhaps even Kallen did not realize that she had accumulated so much longing, but whenever she encountered difficulties, she would always think of the man she met in her childhood, and still remember his back as he rushed towards the Honkai beast. It was a back that even made her father standing next to him look down upon her.

Feeling Karen's excitement, Otto thought he should not say anything that would spoil the mood, such as he would leave again. He just patted Karen's back gently, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what kind of emotions would he feel if he saw Kiana and the others again in the future? Would he lose his composure like this?

Probably not.

I really envy these girls.

Otto half-closed his eyes, and after a long time, Karen finally recovered her mood. She raised her head from Otto's arms and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Did you cry...

Looking at Kallen, Otto said with a smile without reading her thoughts.

"You seemed a little stronger before."

This was the first time he saw Kallen cry.

“Actually, I’m not strong at all.”

Kallen said with a hint of self-mockery.

In fact, she cried in her bed the night Otto left, but she didn't have the courage to let Otto stay.

Because when she looked at Otto, even when he was looking at her, Kallen always felt that his eyes were looking somewhere else, looking at... somewhere unknown.
