Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"Does Bishop Otto want Karen to be the savior alone?"

For a girl, even bearing the name of Kaslana, don't you think this is a bit too cruel?

Seeing through Otto's thoughts in an instant, Shihen asked with a smile.

It is hard to say that it is a blessing for someone to entrust the entire responsibility of saving the world to them.

Even if you're a hero, you should at least put together a small team, right?

For example, a certain Eastern fox spirit has quite a lot of potential.

"I believe in Karen; she will do it."

Otto shook his head and said firmly.

Moreover, he was even more convinced that if Karen was the one who survived, the girl's heartfelt sincerity and faith would surely gather a team even better than his and guide the world toward a brighter future.

Just like... a certain boy who deceived the whole world.

Glancing at the still smiling boy beside him, and thinking of the group of Herrschers and several Doctors from Anti-Entropy united around him, Otto felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but become increasingly puzzled.

If the boy's ultimate goal is really the same as his, then was it really necessary for the other party to continue acting in front of Kiana and the others?

Could it be... that this guy has some kind of method to come back from the dead?

A terrible thought suddenly popped into Otto's mind.

"To abandon everything in this world so easily, Alliance Leader Shihen is indeed decisive."

Otto glanced at the boy and probed in a tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Does Lord Otto remember how many Valkyries die on the experimental table every year?"

Shihen smiled and asked in return.

Otto: "..."

Although Kiana and the others are no different from the Valkyries he pushed onto the operating table in various ways when they were deceived.

But didn't you just say that you wanted to save Celia for Durandal and create a world where she could be happy?

They have absolutely no shame!

Otto cursed inwardly.

Otto became increasingly convinced that the boy possessed some kind of ability to resurrect the dead, and he became even more wary of him.

If the boy wasn't there to change the world, then the other person's goal would seem highly suspicious.

Otto instinctively took a half step back and couldn't help but curse the boy in his mind.

What deep-seated grudge do they have against each other?

The other party not only humiliated him in every way while he was alive, but also refused to let him go even after he died.

And if you think about it carefully, the only thing he did to offend this guy was throw a few nuclear bombs at his head. As for still holding a grudge to this day?

Now, Otto's only consolation is that both of them are in a remnant soul state, and the difference in their strength is not as huge as it was in reality.

He is not without a chance to turn things around!

As Otto was thinking this, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, and tens of thousands of densely packed black figures struggled to emerge from the ground and launched an attack on him and the boy without hesitation.

This is malice from the world five hundred years ago, and also the most instinctive defensive measure of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

If one were to manipulate time and space as a false god, this step would be completely unnecessary.

But since he has abandoned the body of a false god and chosen to change the world as a mortal, he must naturally bear the punishment brought down by the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

"Bishop Otto, keep it up! I really believe in you!"

With a light laugh, Shihen immediately flashed forward and shielded Otto in front of him.

"..."

After glancing at the boy who had retreated a hundred paces away in an instant, Otto felt an urge to kill him with his Mimicry of Heavenly Fire.

But looking around at the black figure that had already reached him, Otto took a deep breath and chose to fight against the malice, continuing towards the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

The target is likely just someone who wants to hold him back, so the boy can easily slack off.

Otto has traveled alone for five hundred years just to revive Kallen, but he has to consider whether this is his last chance in this life.

"bring it on!

Let me see whether the world's malice is deeper, or whether I, the wicked one, am superior!

Taking a deep breath, Otto raised his hand and summoned a mimicry of heavenly fire, then strode forward and charged towards the countless shadowy figures.

boom--

In an instant, flames soared into the sky. Otto charged into the crowd and unleashed his unparalleled power. His simulated Heavenly Fire parried left and right, slicing down one black shadow after another. Other simulated Divine Keys of various shapes also changed freely in the man's hands, fully demonstrating the unpredictable and ever-changing fighting style of the Void Treasury.

Although he was quite inferior to the young boy and Durandal, he had lived for five hundred years and his combat skills were still quite good, not much inferior to those of Rita.

Standing at the back, watching Otto relentlessly unleash his attacks with great interest, and seeing Otto, already low on health, being brutally beaten by countless shadowy figures, Shihen had no intention of intervening.

Having served as the Bishop of Destiny for five hundred years, repeatedly making mistakes and then having others clean up his messes, it's time for those people to risk their lives for him.

This is the greatest respect we can pay to a warrior who embodies pure love.

At least that's what Shihen thinks.

Swish!

The mimicking Xuanyuan Sword swept across and sliced ​​straight through the chest of a dark figure, causing Otto to tremble and gasp for breath.

He was already at a critical health level, and every sword strike he unleashed was a challenge to his limits.

Even so, he had no intention whatsoever of asking someone behind him for help.

Since saving Karen is his wish, it is only right that he walks the final leg of this journey himself.

Moreover, he had absolutely no trust in the boy.

Taking a deep breath, Otto squeezed out a few more strength from his already overburdened body and his expression darkened when he looked at the two clustered black shadows in front of him.

A single dark shadow is troublesome enough; these malicious aggregates would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.

Under the man's gaze, one of the dark shapes materialized into a beast-like form with sharp claws and fangs, while the other...

Looking at the enormous black shadow that looked exactly like a certain true Eastern fox spirit, Otto couldn't help but glance at the boy.

No, the previous shadowy figure bears a striking resemblance to the Honkai Beast that killed Kallen years ago, so it was undoubtedly caused by him.

But the latter—that's clearly the past the boy wants to change, isn't it? How could this guy have the nerve to push it all onto him?

Do they have any shame at all?

"Come on, Bishop Otto! Don't give up so easily!"

Let's prove to the world that love between people can transcend everything!

Without the slightest shame at the appearance of the dark version of Hiyokumaru, Shihen shouted loudly.

Otto: "..."

At this moment, he felt that creating a world without children might be the key to saving Kallen.

As Otto was thinking this, his gaze suddenly fell upon a claw the size of a car slamming down.

Bang!

Otto quickly dodged to the side to avoid the blow, but his body was still violently sent flying by the aftershock, and several fox tails more than ten meters long tore through the air and swept over.

when--

His gaze sharpened instantly, and the mimicry Xuanyuan Sword in Otto's hand immediately transformed into the shape of Judah, blocking in front of him. The sweep of his fox tail stirred up a deafening roar like metal clashing, causing Otto's body to crash heavily to the ground, with streaks of crimson blood spilling from his mouth.

Ignoring the surging blood and qi within him, Otto glanced at the beast-shaped black shadow's giant claw as it slammed down again. Without hesitation, he used his mimicry of Judah to release chains that bound the beast-shaped black shadow. At the same time, he leaped high into the air and swung his mimicry of heavenly fire at the shadow's head with all his might.

stab-

In the golden flames, the head of the beast-shaped black shadow flew high into the air, and its massive body crashed down, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

Without a moment's respite, Otto summoned another mimicking Black Abyss White Flower and hurled it desperately at the fox demon whose jaws were now agape.

Swah——

boom--

In an instant, Otto's golden lance pierced the fox's head, and the final black beam of light it released also obliterated half of the man's body.

His left arm and half of his shoulder were gone, and half of his face was also severely damaged, but Otto did not even catch his breath and continued to walk towards the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, his slow movements without the slightest pause.

"Karen, wait for me..."

Muttering to himself, even as his vision began to blur, Otto resolutely walked toward the only light that existed in the space.

No matter what form he takes, as long as he can reach the tree of imaginary numbers, he will be able to achieve his goals.

“You really went all out, Bishop Otto.”

In that case, even I feel a little embarrassed to stop you.

Looking at the blond man in front of him, who was already staggering and seemed about to collapse at any moment, Shihen couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was indeed an absolute villain, Otto truly deserved the title of God of Pure Love.

wow-

As he sighed, golden chains suddenly flew out and wrapped around Shihen's body, while a tremendous force pulled the boy away from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Meanwhile, Otto, who had been struggling to move, suddenly became as fast as lightning.

A golden figure flashed through the void, and Otto's right hand slammed onto the Imaginary Tree.

“This time, I won, [Walter White]…”

Looking back at the boy, Otto finally laughed heartily.

But Otto immediately noticed the smile on the boy's face, and his expression changed slightly. He then realized that the golden chains he had activated had turned into an incredibly dark black and red color.

This is... the power of [Erosion]?

But when did they manage to do that?!

Otto instantly realized the truth, and his heart sank.

Naturally, he wouldn't tell Otto that he had used the third Blank Herrscher Core. Shihen simply watched as Otto's lips moved slightly and said, "Bishop Otto, it's a checkmate..."

As soon as he finished speaking, new buds suddenly sprouted on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and a brand new spacetime was formed from the branch that had split off five hundred years ago.

Chapter 209 The Boy Attempts to Create a World with Bells

In most people's perception, time is like a one-way street, moving forward without stopping and allowing no time to pause and look back.

However, on the scale of the tree of imaginary numbers, time can also be equivalent to a unit of length. By simply tracing back along the branches of the tree of imaginary numbers, one can return from "today" to "yesterday".

…………

On a morning in 1477, Karen Kaslana, wearing shackles, was escorted to the execution ground by a group of Destiny's agents.

Despite being the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal, Kallen has achieved feats that are difficult for ordinary people to attain and has made numerous contributions that are worthy of admiration.

But when the charges of betraying fate and inciting rebellion were leveled against her, these merits could not provide the young girl with even the slightest protection.

Karen couldn't help but sigh inwardly as she glanced at the numb faces of the people around her.

Even if Destiny did protect the people from the Honkai, this protection naturally becomes meaningless when the Church's oppression of the people is even greater than that of the Honkai.

Looking back on what she had seen and heard over the years, Karen's former enthusiasm had long since faded, leaving only emptiness and despair in her heart.

Even bearing the name of Kaslana, she ultimately could do nothing and protect nothing.

Since that's the case, then let this life end here as well...

As the executioner put the noose around her neck, Karen obediently closed her eyes, preparing to face her impending death.

But the next second, a strange commotion suddenly reached the girl's ears.

When Kallen opened her eyes, she saw one Honkai Beast after another emerging from all directions. The crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacle was immediately terrified and scattered in all directions. Even the Schicksal personnel who were supposed to maintain order were panicking and only caring about their own survival.

Looking at the horrific scene before her, filled with billowing smoke and where people's lives were being wantonly ravaged by the collapse, Karen's dark, lifeless eyes stirred once again.

Bang!
