Honkai Simulator: I conquered Kiana of Finality

Chapter 84: Why don't I remember that you can revive people, Void Archives?

In the video of "Otto Apocalypse."

Otto and Kallen began to grow under Mo Chen's guidance, each displaying top talents as members of the three major families.

Because they received Mo Chen's guidance from time to time, Otto and Kallen's relationship became closer. Although there were still some grudges because of Mo Chen, they were no longer as incompatible as before.

Time passed little by little, and two years later, Otto and Kallen each achieved considerable success and gained a certain status within Sinister.

Otto became the chief scientist of Schicksal, developing weapons for the organization and inventing drugs to fight the Honkai.

Kallen became a reserve Valkyrie of Schicksal and began to receive training. She would become a formal Valkyrie in the future and go to the front line to fight the Honkai beasts.

At the same time, because they were both members of Schicksal, the two would go to the front line together from time to time to cooperate with Schicksal's main force to fight against the Honkai.

One day, Otto and Kallen went to the front line to fight the Honkai with the Schicksal force.

The person leading their team was Kallen's father, Francis Kaslana, the strongest Valkyrie currently in the Schicksal.

After arriving at the battlefield, Otto and Kallen witnessed a fierce battle, along with many terrifying Honkai beasts and dead soldiers infected by Honkai.

"So many scary monsters..."

"It's really fierce."

When the Schicksal troops began to fight the Honkai beasts, Otto excitedly said, "Look, they're all using the weapons I made. That's great. I really played my role and had my own value."

"Yes..."

Kallen nodded silently, showing an envious expression.

Compared to Otto, who could make weapons and potions, she hadn't yet become an official Valkyrie and wasn't even allowed to go to the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Kallen suddenly felt an impulse and said, "Otto, let's go up and fight the Honkai beasts too."

"This... But didn't Brother Mo Chen forbid us from fighting Honkai right now?" Otto hesitated. "Besides, I'm not very good at fighting, so I might hold you back."

"Don't worry, we're just going to the edge of the battlefield," Kallen smiled and shook her head. "As long as we don't go deep into the battlefield, it's okay to take a look at the edge. Even if we encounter one or two Honkai beasts, I believe we can easily deal with them using the weapons you made for me."

"Okay... okay."

After hearing Kallen's words, Otto was gradually convinced.

So, the two underage teens sneaked to the edge of the battlefield without being discovered.

Kallen excitedly took out her dual guns, ready to fight the incoming Honkai beasts, while Otto silently studied the land eroded by Honkai, carefully contemplating the essence of Honkai.

"Whoa, look over there, Otto!"

Otto looked up at Kallen's sudden voice.

What caught his eyes was a dazzling line of fire that flashed in the distance, piercing through the massive bodies of several Honkai beasts, like an ultimate special effects performance.

"So cool! That's my father's power!" Kallen said excitedly, "My father is indeed the strongest Valkyrie. With the Divine Key, the Judgment of Shamash, no monster can be his opponent!"

"Yeah, it's really amazing. Your father is, and so is the Divine Key..."

Otto's eyes lit up.

As he looked at the Judgment of Shamash wielded by Francis Kaslana, he vaguely thought of inventing or modifying a similar weapon.

At the same time, Otto compared Francis Kaslana to Mo Chen in his mind.

He was surprised to find that Mo Chen's strength seemed even stronger than that of the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Although Mo Chen had never shown his full strength in front of others, Otto's observations were enough to draw this conclusion.

As Otto and Kallen each had different thoughts and watched the battle between Schicksal's Valkyrie and the Honkai up close, a shocking storm suddenly came from a distance.

Boom!

A horrific gale twisted the world, and the earth was suddenly deformed.

A huge and unimaginable Honkai beast, as large as a mountain, rose from the ground, appearing in front of many Schicksal Valkyries.

It had far surpassed the level of an ordinary Honkai beast and reached a realm that ordinary Valkyries couldn't hope to reach.

This was undoubtedly an emperor-class Honkai beast!

Roar!

The emperor-class Honkai beast let out a terrifying roar, blowing away all the nearby Valkyries, filling Otto and Kallen with fear.

Just when everyone was in despair, Francis Kaslana acted decisively and combined the Judgment of Shamash in his hands into one!

"Judgment of Shamash, unsheathed!"

Boom!

Blazing flames engulfed everything, burning the Honkai beasts to ashes—and consuming Francis Kaslana's body as well!

[What!? Kallen's father died just like that!?]

[An emperor-class Honkai beast? Isn't it said that Honkai beasts get stronger as civilization develops? Why is one appearing now?]

[Isn't the Judgment of Shamash too crazy? How can it burn the user to death? It's like the weapon's committing suicide!]

[Why were Otto and Kallen conveniently here when the emperor-class beast appeared?]

"Emperor-class Honkai beast?" Mobius muttered, watching the video with a slight change in her expression.

She understood the connection between civilization's development and the appearance of stronger Honkai beasts.

Generally, lower-level Honkai beasts were common, and higher-level ones only appeared as civilization advanced or when a Herrscher was born.

At the time of Schicksal five hundred years ago, neither of these conditions was met, suggesting some abnormal event occurred.

Mobius recalled the mutated Third Herrscher she and Mo Chen had encountered.

When they created fusion warriors that shouldn't have existed, the Will of Honkai directly interfered by using the Third Herrscher to try to correct the timeline.

The current situation was similar, with developments occurring that shouldn't have.

But Mobius was puzzled. Otto and Mo Chen had carefully controlled the spread of Honkai energy weapons, and no special warriors were created.

So, why was the Will of Honkai interfering?

"This situation is very strange..." Mobius muttered. "Is there something I missed?"

In response, Elysia chimed in. "Isn't it possible this emperor-class Honkai beast isn't because of Mo Chen but is a part of the historical process?"

"A part of the historical process?"

"Yes," Elysia frowned slightly, as if puzzled by these 'experiences' that surfaced. "From my understanding, certain events in history are fixed by the Imaginary Tree to ensure the branches grow in the right direction. These events are unavoidable, and no matter what, they will happen."

"For example, in the previous civilization, Kevin and Mei joining the Fire Moth was a key event. No matter how things change, it would always happen."

"If someone's death triggers essential outcomes for the world, the world will force it to happen, ensuring history remains on track."

"While the world itself doesn't have consciousness, it has a direction, and it won't allow anything or anyone to alter its course."

"…"

Hearing Elysia's words, as if she had a deep understanding of this so-called 'historical process theory,' Mobius was silent for a moment.

Because she had already guessed, assuming this theory was correct, then what exactly was the historical process that shrouded Elysia?

If the world wants a person to die, then even if you try your best to change this outcome, you may not get any good results.

On the contrary, if a person who is destined to die can be saved, then the savior who did all this must have sacrificed something more important than life...

…

In the video.

In a huge church.

"Francis Kaslana, we thank him. Although his body has been burned, his soul has also rested. He will always be a warrior that Kaslana is proud of..."

The pastor's words gradually became clear.

Mixed with Kallen's crying, it resounded throughout the church.

Otto stood there blankly, unable to believe what had happened before. Kallen's father, who was so powerful, actually died together with the Honkai Beast.

It was not until the smell of burnt charcoal mixed with the fragrance of flowers wafted from the coffin that he suddenly came to his senses.

All of a sudden, Otto began to be frightened. He began to fear death immensely.

Just like Mobius when she first realized that humans are mortal, he instinctively wanted to calculate how far he was from death.

Time is accurate from years to months, then to days, then to hours, and finally to minutes and seconds.

2522880000 seconds is equivalent to the lifetime of an 80-year-old person.

He, Mo Chen, and Kallen... everyone will face the same death.

"No, it shouldn't be like this!"

Otto instinctively wanted to escape, to save himself and the people he cared about from such a fate.

Then Otto recalled the sanctuary of the Apocalypse family that his father had mentioned before, in which a family's sacred objects were enshrined.

That is the magical box obtained by the ancestor of the first generation of the Apocalypse family. It is said that only those with the highest wisdom can unlock its seal.

Although Otto did not think that he was the so-called person with the highest wisdom, he still wanted to try, because he believed that as long as he could break the seal, he might be able to defeat death and resurrect the dead...

At night, he came to the temple where the holy relics were stored and saw the golden box guarded by a string of runes. He couldn't help but try to touch it with his right hand.

"After two thousand years, the one who finally unleashed the seal... turned out to be a child..."

In the void, a voice sounded out of nowhere.

Otto said in surprise:

"Are you the consciousness of the relic? Can you resurrect the dead?"

"I can."

"Really?"

"Yes, but there is a price to pay for resurrecting others."

"Price? What price?"

"Your life."

"This..."

Upon hearing the words from the golden box, Otto's expression froze, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, Mo Chen suddenly appeared from the side and said indifferently: "Resurrection? Why don't I remember that you can revive people, Void Archives?"

"What?!"

Void Archives exclaimed in surprise as he didn't expect that his name would be suddenly revealed.

"Brother Mo Chen?" Otto looked at Mo Chen with confusion.

"This thing is your holy object, and it is also the first Divine Key named Void Archives," Mo Chen calmly said, revealing the true nature of Void Archives. "It can simulate the power of any Divine Key, but it does not have the ability to resurrect people. If it says it does, then it's lying to you."

"Lying to me?"

The young Otto realized for the first time that he had almost been deceived, and his hands and feet suddenly turned cold.

"I'm not lying, it's just that I can't revive people's souls."

Void Archives explained stubbornly.

In response, Mo Chen said calmly: "Do you know what kind of punishment a liar who speaks half-truths will receive in this era?"

"What punishment?"

"Cut off your tongue and hang it on the city wall in the sun for three days and three nights! Even if you are just a Divine Key!"

As Mo Chen spoke, he revealed a cold aura that frightened Void Archives so much that its light dimmed instantly.

The golden box even began to tremble visibly.

This overly funny scene immediately caused the audience to laugh out loud and sparked heated discussions.
