Honkai impact 3rd: I Use Everything of Yours to Love Me

"Teacher, could you go back to your usual attitude? You suddenly being so serious is making me a bit uncomfortable."

Seeing Chang Yuan suddenly become serious, Otto's mouth twitched.

"Alright, alright. This matter isn't that serious anyway. It's ultimately something for you to consider."

Waving his hand, Chang Yuan immediately reverted to his usual lazy demeanor, letting Otto take the lead.

Seeing this, Otto felt more at ease.

"The thing is, I..."

After about ten minutes...

"...Teacher, are you really not joking?"

Otto's face now showed a hint of worry.

"I'm not joking. But with our arrival, Kallen's fate should be different now. Many things in the future will have to change.

And as a key figure in all this, it's up to you to decide how to proceed."

"...Teacher, you've really given me a tough problem."

Hearing this, Otto helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Finally unifying the Apocalypse family should have been a cause for celebration, but now this bombshell had been dropped.

Otto couldn't even bring himself to smile anymore.

"Can't be helped. Elysia and I can only act as safeguards to prevent major deviations. The rest is up to you."

"...Understood. I'll think it over carefully. Even if I can't figure it out now, I will in the future."

Rubbing his temples, Otto was forced to come up with a solution.

His teacher had really given him a difficult task.

He wanted a perfect ending, a perfect process, and no harm to innocent people.

Sigh, it's tough, really tough.

After giving Otto his instructions, Chang Yuan didn't linger and went back to spending time with Elysia.

Only by being close to her could he feel her presence again.

"Is it really okay to leave this to him?"

Elysia tilted her head as she looked at Chang Yuan, who was resting his head on her lap.

"It's fine. He's Otto. He might not be fully matured yet, but time will prove everything. And you, you just need to witness it all."

"I know. I'll witness everything~?."

The Next Day...

"Otto, I'm truly sorry for what happened within your family. But if you become the new Overseer, I'll bring the Kaslana family to support you."

Francis had no idea that the tragedy within the Apocalypse family was orchestrated by the young boy standing before him.

So, he assumed Otto was also a victim and patted his shoulder in comfort.

After all, who could imagine that a boy in his early teens could pull off such a thing?

"Thank you, Uncle Francis. I won't let you down."

Otto felt it was necessary to maintain his image as a kind and dutiful son-in-law in front of his future father-in-law.

Seeing Otto so calm, Francis assumed he was too grief-stricken to express his emotions.

He could only shake his head and leave.

Then Kallen approached.

"Otto, don't be sad. From now on, I'll be here for you. Even though you've lost your father, you still have me. I can be your family. Hmm, what else was there? Oh, right, you can totally think of me as your family."

"Pfft—"

Hearing Kallen deliver this line so seriously, Elysia couldn't help but laugh.

She had already laughed once when she first suggested this to Kallen, but hearing it in person made her laugh again.

Otto felt comforted by Kallen's words but also sensed something was off.

Still, he didn't dwell on it. Kallen's comfort was enough, and he didn't need to think about anything else.

"Alright, Otto. Focus on your research now. Once you succeed, or fully master those technologies, both you and Kallen—and even all of Schicksal—will benefit."

Chang Yuan could already imagine Schicksal becoming like the Previous Era, filled with MANTIS warriors. That would be quite something.

Wait, no. If that happened, it might trigger a hellish scenario like the Previous Era.

Whatever, it didn't matter. As long as the Herrschers retained their humanity, they could be reasoned with. The stronger, the better.

"I will."

Not just for himself, but for Kallen's safety.

Even though he now controlled the entire Apocalypse family, he knew Kallen would head to the battlefield once she came of age.

On the battlefield, weapons were merciless, not to mention the Honkai beasts that only sought destruction.

By then, his two teachers might not be able to save her in time.

So, making her stronger was the most important thing.

Several Months Later...

"Success! Hahaha, as expected of the Previous Era's technology. It's incredible! But which Honkai beast is most compatible with me?"

Otto immediately used the Void Archives to match his DNA.

The result was a peacock-like Honkai beast.

"Mahamayuri? I've never heard of this Honkai beast. Tch, I guess I'll have to ask my teacher."

Whenever he was unsure, Otto would turn to Chang Yuan.

Although Chang Yuan wasn't exactly a wisdom-type teacher, he had many friends.

And among those friends were three who stood at the pinnacle of civilization's wisdom.

So, Otto wasn't really seeking Chang Yuan's help but rather using him to access those three geniuses.

Old man, you're the least useful!

Fortunately, Chang Yuan didn't know what his student was thinking, or he'd have taught him a lesson about respecting one's elders.

"Teacher, do you have the DNA of the Mahamayuri Honkai beast? According to the genetic match, it's the most compatible with me.

But I haven't seen it in this era, so I can't collect it."

"Oh, you finally came out after months of seclusion? If you need that, I can actually help you get it."

Chang Yuan took out his phone and called Vill-V.

"Big V, I'm at ****. Can you send me a copy of all the Honkai beast genes from the gene bank? Thanks. I hope I'm not interrupting your trip with your daughters."

"Not at all. I'll send it right away—Skadi, stop eating sand! Okay, I'll send it over via drone."

After hanging up, Chang Yuan turned to Otto.

"There, easy. That's the power of your teacher's connections. Impressive, right?"
