Honkai Impact 3rd : This is My Revenge

At this moment, the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke's" words caused everyone present to pause for a moment.

They... didn't immediately understand what he meant.

"What do you mean by 'not empty talk'?"

Dr. Tesla's eyes widened, "Could this guy really have the ability to resurrect the dead?"

As soon as she finished speaking...

"No, no, no, no."

What she never expected was that the person with the most intense emotional fluctuations at this moment was—Otto.

The one who had schemed for over 500 years, manipulated the lives of others, clearly believed in the power of "love," yet had always unscrupulously exploited it... the old monster.

Then she heard...

"This world does not allow a body to recollect a dissipated consciousness."

At this moment, Otto seemed to have already forgotten everything else.

Alliance? Dialogue? None of it mattered.

He had to confirm one thing...

"You cannot have the ability to resurrect the dead."

"This world does not have such convenient power!"

He said with certainty.

This was also the final research conclusion he had reached after hundreds of years of exhaustive effort and dehumanization.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have formulated such a plan...

"Otto Apocalypse."

The "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" suddenly spoke, "Has anyone ever told you that you are actually quite arrogant?"

"..."

Otto suddenly became extremely calm.

As if his brief moment of hysteria earlier had been an act.

But in fact, that wasn't the case.

He had truly "panicked" earlier.

Because, if Ling ke really had the power to resurrect the dead, then the current situation... without a doubt, was the last thing he wanted to see.

But Otto was that kind of person.

His emotions were no longer within the realm of ordinary people.

He could still get angry, but... he could quickly calm down.

This... in a way, could undoubtedly be considered a different kind of "inhumanity" compared to Ling ke.

And now...

"Your arrogance does not allow any situation to exceed your expectations."

"That's why, decades ago, 'Welt Joyce' was so important to you, and later made you so furious."

"Because you miscalculated with him... more than once."

"Over ten years ago, you also launched a Honkai fission bomb at Siberia for this reason."

"Because the power Siegfried displayed, called 'Artificial Stigma,' made you experience this feeling once again."

"Very uncomfortable, very unhappy."

"So, obviously with your scheming, you had countless ways to indirectly harness these powers, even using your sweet words, coercion, inducement, and deception... to limit and control everything they possessed."

"To make them work for you."

"But you still chose the most direct destruction!"

"Otto, oh Otto!"

The "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" spoke words that struck at the heart, "In your heart, is it your faith in Kallen that matters more, or... is it that your persistence to resurrect the former Saint Kallen is just to prove that you can resist the iron laws of this world?"

"..."

Otto did not respond.

But the anger in his eyes... how many years had it been since he had shown it so plainly?

At this moment, the so-called "Tyrant of the Heavens" was not at peace.

Although he still believed that the words of the "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" were just tarnishing his faith in Kallen.

But...

"If the world does not allow a container to collect a dissipated consciousness, then if I still manage to give Kallen a new life, wouldn't that mean... I've won?"

The "Domination Puppet: Ling ke" deliberately said, "I must say, Otto, you are indeed a 'Fool.'"

"Daring to challenge the world and taking action, not just shouting slogans..."

"Just this point alone, I somewhat admire you."

"Even though your life, from beginning to end, has been more of a 'clown.'"

At this point, Ling ke, hidden behind the scenes... indirectly revealed the truth, "Yes, just like hundreds of years ago, when many people who came to the execution ground were already prepared to create accidents and let Kallen escape, it was because of you... it was you who made those Honkai beasts appear, forcing Kallen, who remained true to her original intention, to protect the people, ultimately leading to her death."

"Now, also because of you, condoning... even supporting multiple branches of the Schicksal organization in conducting inhumane human experiments, the only one with the ability to resurrect, me, has completely stood on the opposite side of you."

"Ling ke's" voice was indifferent, "You will no longer have the opportunity to fulfill your long-cherished wish."

"And, remember..."

He raised his right hand, index finger, staring directly at the silent golden-haired figure, "This is all your own doing."

"A price is always exacted for what fate bestows, Isn't it?"

(TL/N: damn copy cat. leave Adam quote alone bro)

"I am now looking forward to the day when I can see you, who also lives for your obsession, completely collapsed."

At this point...

Otto still did not say a word.

The familiar feeling returned.

That discomfort of the situation was completely out of control...

And this time, it was the most intense.

People are complex.

Ling ke, who deliberately used words to provoke Otto, knew this very well.

Was Otto determined to resurrect Kallen to rebel against the world?

Perhaps!

But this was not the only reason.

This man's faith in Kallen was also real.

Who could say that there could only be one reason for achieving something?

However, Ling ke, knowing all this, still chose to strike at the heart.

This was his basic advantage as a traverser with foresight, the intelligence advantage of being one step ahead.

To the point where now, on Schicksal's side, aside from "Amber," who was here as an assistant, Otto, Durandal, and Rita were all in turmoil.

Even though they were trying hard to disguise, it was useless.

Because something so obvious could even be seen by Theresa.

Her grandfather... this state of his was the first time she had seen it in her nearly fifty years of life.

Moreover, Ling ke's vicious words had affected far more than just these few people.

Kiana... Theresa didn't even know how to address her now.

The timing and setting of the truth came out were too bad.

Everything was Ling ke's design.

"Why does he know so much?"

At this moment, everyone present couldn't help but think of this.

Indeed, the various intelligence Ling ke currently possessed could no longer be explained simply by "high-level investigative techniques."

Because there were many things that only a few people knew.

Even, limited to the parties involved.

And...

"A few years ago, when Ling ke first appeared in Nagazora City, he inexplicably saw through Cocolia's plan."

"And before that, there was no trace of any information about him."

"It was as if he had appeared out of thin air in Nagazora City... someone who shouldn't have existed."

Thinking about this, and taking it a step further, combining these thoughts...

"Aponia."

Kevin's mind flashed with this name.

He seemed to have figured out the truth.

Ling ke can predict the future!
