Chapter 78: Chapter 27: Why Are You Chasing Me?
"Why did Seele appear in this place? Could it be that, like the previous Herrscher of Reason, she arrived here from another parallel world?" Bronya pondered, somewhat vexed.
Welt's ears perked up. "What did you say, visitors from parallel worlds?"
Bronya explained to Welt about their previous discoveries, finally shedding light on the complex situation surrounding the St. Fontaine.
The man stared at Void Archives beside Bronya, his tone playful. "So, you actually want to use aliens to drive away Honkai? I really can't fathom how your brain works. There's no indication whatsoever that you're the crystallization of a previous era's civilization, judging from this plan..."
Void Archives flickered but remained silent.
Bronya snorted softly. "Pitiful, It's still living in Otto's shadow."
The golden cube couldn't help but retort, "Otto has long been dead. I live freely now!"
"Oh, then why do you still appear in his image, pretending to be him, imitating his irritating tone? Don't give me that nonsense about 'Otto's Soulium Body being ready-made and usable.' I don't believe you can't adjust the appearance of Soulium. According to you, anything would be better than Otto." Bronya shook her head.
"..."
Bronya watched as Void Archives beside her flickered faster, seemingly realizing that the shadow named "Otto Apocalypse" had never left him.
Although Otto was particularly detestable, especially in certain aspects like scheming and executing plans... Otto's level of skill was truly incomparable to Void Archives, drawing a stark contrast.
It was akin to drawing a dog and ending up with a cat.
Under this barrage of verbal attacks, Void Archives flickered incessantly, finally realizing that the shadow named "Otto Apocalypse" had never left him.
The previous era had spent decades giving Void Archives enough resources to rebuild civilization, to recreate the knowledge of its former glory, allowing it to understand the world in a relatively objective manner.
Fifty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. With the help of the Divine Key, the Earth had revived from the destruction wrought by the Herrscher of Finality, but this fifty-thousand-year hiatus allowed Void Archives to contemplate its own existence, slowly developing its own independent consciousness.
Until the pioneers left their hibernation chambers, carrying out the [Project EMBER] to rebuild human civilization. During those days, Void Archives diligently utilized its database to play a significant role.
The good times didn't last long. The pioneers found that advancing technology for the current civilization would also accelerate the growth of the Honkai, and Hua's report on the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chiyou prompted them to quickly suspend the plan. Void Archives once again returned to the dark, bleak warehouse.
This time, it was unwilling.
When the Divine Key was activated again, the world had already changed, and most of the pioneers were ordinary humans. After leaving the hibernation chambers, they quickly died due to lifespan issues. Their descendants did not receive advanced education, providing an opportunity for Void Archives.
It wanted to be... a little freer.
So, Void Archives used knowledge that did not affect the Honkai as bait, allowing the ignorant descendants of the pioneers to take it away without escalating Honkai. It spent some time understanding the world's situation, finally confirming that the pioneers no longer had control over it.
So it rolled up its sleeves and found a blond boy to manipulate.
The boy's name was Otto Apocalypse.
It observed the boy's emotions, recording how he, driven by love, disregarded everything, and how he, desolate and desperate due to lost love, eventually became an indomitable man in the flames.
Sometimes, Void Archives would also imagine, if it hadn't encountered Otto, where would history have gone... But no matter how it imagined, it couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
The powerful simulation capabilities and countless data and technologies stored in the Divine Key were powerless in this regard.
In the end, the five hundred years spent with Otto truly exceeded its imagination.
"...If only he were still alive." Void Archives Archives muttered dejectedly.
Luo Lin looked at the golden cube with a strange expression. Although she didn't know what kind of mental struggle this guy was going through, she heard his last words loud and clear.
You gave everything to Otto, but he only had eyes for his own Kallen...
Why does this Void Archives seem like it got dumped?
It must be the because I haven't recovered from the previous battle that I'm hallucinating right?
Luo Lin moved away from the dejected golden cube and turned her attention to the black-and-white twins who suddenly appeared beside them. Bronya bent down and checked the two people.
"...Strange, why is she so fascinated with you?" Bronya wondered aloud.
"I don't know?" Faced with Bronya's question, Luo Lin also didn't know how to answer.
In fact, what puzzled the girl the most was the interest shown in her by the Imaginary Tree and Sea of Quanta. No matter how she looked at herself, she didn't seem like anything special, with weak combat power and average talent...
Perhaps it was her mysterious system that attracted their attention?
"Hmm... How did I..." Just then, Veliona regained consciousness, rubbing her neck and looking around the surroundings in confusion.
A group of people stared at her, causing Veliona to freeze, her hand still on her neck.
Before the other party noticed her, Luo Lin spoke up, "Bronya, be careful. I'm going to come out again to see what's going on."
"S-Sister B-Bronya...?"
Hearing this name, Veliona stared at the silver-haired girl next to her, vaguely recognizing familiar features, but certain parts were clearly out of proportion.
She half-opened her mouth, completely stunned.
Did I enter the realm of the fairy tales? Has a dozen years passed in an instant?
At this moment, Luo Lin cautiously entered Veliona's field of vision, immediately capturing the girl's attention.
But this time, Veliona restrained herself. She went stiff, closing her eyes, and making an effort not to look at Luo Lin.
"You you you... Get away from me!" Veliona roared, "Stay away from me, out of my sight! Otherwise, I'll lose control again! Sis Bronya,, save me!"
Veliona threw herself into Bronya's arms.
The corners of Luo Lin's mouth twitched. "No, seriously, what are you feeling?"
Veliona paused for a few seconds, burying her head in Bronya's headlight, and said in a muffled voice.
"...No, you're not my sister Bronya..."
