Chapter 436: Rebirth 500 Years Later, Otto: This time I must protect you well, Kallen!
It’s almost successful! Lu Qiong was delighted.
However..., the accident happened again.
As if it had discovered Lu Qiong's intention to escape, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers became unusually angry, and countless branches shot out and tightly bound Lu Qiong's body.
It was pulled back effortlessly, and in order to prevent him from running around, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers casually threw him into a world bubble.
Lu Qiong: “.........!”
"I c......!"
Coincidentally, the world bubble that Lu Qiong was thrown into was the one that Otto used to change Kallen's future.
A big step ahead of Otto, before Kallen broke free from the shackles and ran towards the little girl, a ragged man fell from the sky and smashed the Honkai beast to death.
Kallen, who was confused about the situation: “........?”
"No, I haven't done anything yet."
After the thick smoke gradually dissipated, her beautiful and slightly surprised eyes could finally see the scene in front of her clearly. However, when she saw the object in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable surprise in her heart - it turned out to be... a person?
Only a slight cough was heard: "Cough cough!"
Along with the coughing, the man named Lu Qiong struggled to prop himself up, and then slowly climbed up from the huge body of the dead Honkai beast. His face was slightly pale, and it was obvious that he had just experienced something.
"Where...is this place?" Lu Qiong murmured softly, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts. At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came, completely interrupting his thoughts.
The roars came from the surrounding Honkai beasts that had not yet been destroyed. They were swarming towards Lu Qiong with their fangs and claws bared, and they were aggressive.
Lu Qiong frowned slightly, "I didn't come to you for anything, but you came to me first?"
"Ruoshui."
As Lu Qiong gently uttered these two words, the Ruoshui sword, which had always been in tune with his thoughts, seemed to instantly understand its master's intention.
In an instant, a dazzling blue light burst out from the sword.
"bass!"
A clear sword sound resounded through the sky, and then, a stunned scene occurred. The blue sword light flashed through the void like lightning, and wherever it passed, whether it was a huge Honkai beast or a small monster hiding in the dark, they were all devoured by the sharp sword energy in the blink of an eye, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.
"He destroyed all the Honkai beasts with just one strike? This is too amazing! Who is this person...?"
Kallen, who witnessed all this not far away, had an expression of disbelief on her face, and her heart was filled with curiosity and awe towards this mysterious powerful man.
Lu Qiong took slow steps, his confused eyes wandering around, thinking about finding someone to ask about directions or something. However, at this moment... a strong sense of dizziness suddenly hit him from the depths of his mind without any warning.
In just a moment, Lu Qiong felt the whole world begin to spin, and his body lost balance. He tried to steady himself, but it was no use. After a stumble, he fell heavily onto the hard ground.
As he fell to the ground, Lu Qiong's eyeballs rolled up uncontrollably, and his bright eyes were instantly swallowed by darkness. Then, his eyes fell into complete darkness, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and finally he fainted completely.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Wake up! Hey!......."
The sudden change shocked Karin who was standing by. She quickly ran to Lu Qiong and squatted down to check the situation.
Looking at the man lying unconscious on the ground, Kallen was filled with confusion and worry: "This man looks very strong, how could he suddenly faint like this? Did he suffer some serious internal injuries?"
Kallen muttered to herself as she carefully looked at the unconscious man lying on the ground.
He has handsome features, clear contours, a high nose bridge, slightly raised corners of the lips, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and an extraordinary temperament.
"This guy is quite good-looking, even better looking than Otto."
At this moment, Lu Qiong closed his eyes, his face was as pale as paper, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
Faced with such a situation, Karen couldn't help but feel a little helpless, because she was also in trouble at the moment - she was a death row inmate being executed.
..............................
"I...I didn't disappear?" Otto looked at the palm of his hand in surprise.
"No, this body......." Otto's pupils suddenly widened.
This body is not a soul steel body! It is his real body!
“Could it be that…?”
As the top think tank villain in the world of Honkai, Otto's IQ is absolutely unquestionable.
In just a few breaths, several guesses formed in his mind.
Finally, after elimination... screening, (the scheming frog keeps touching your belly) there is only one truth!
The surrounding scene was like an old and familiar painting slowly unfolding, and every detail was as clear as what he had described in his deep memory. The winding paths, the well-arranged buildings, and the flowers, plants, and trees swaying in the wind all made him feel familiar. However, in this seemingly perfect scene, there was a hint of something strange that was hard to describe.
No matter how realistic those illusions he had carefully constructed were, they were ultimately just illusions. Even if they could be mistaken for real things, and even deceive people's eyes and hearts, falsehood was still falsehood, and could never replace real things.
But... When Otto was in this environment, a strong feeling that almost suffocated him came over him - everything here was not just an illusion! Some force seemed to be telling him a truth, a truth that was enough to subvert his past cognition.
Otto no longer cared about anything else, and he ran out like a wild beast that had lost its mind. He had only one thought in his mind: to verify it! He wanted to find out what was going on and why this place gave him such a real feeling.
After running all the way, Otto finally arrived at the execution square that had haunted him countless times in his dreams. Before he could catch his breath, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by a figure. With just one glance, he stood there in shock as if struck by lightning.
That figure was none other than Kallen, the one he had been thinking about day and night for the past five hundred years!
"Karen!"
A shout suddenly rang out, breaking the quiet atmosphere around them. Kallen, who was thinking hard about how to properly arrange Lu Qiong's whereabouts, couldn't help but feel puzzled when she heard the call, and slowly raised her head.
"Otto?"
When she saw who it was, she was surprised. Wasn't this man the Otto she knew? But... why did she see him here? Kallen was full of questions.
At this time, Otto was completely immersed in his own thoughts.
His emerald eyes widened as he stared at the living Kallen in front of him in disbelief. That's right, he was really reborn!
Although Otto was extremely shocked and confused by this phenomenon that went beyond common sense and violated scientific common sense, it no longer mattered at this moment.
After all, for Otto, being able to see Kallen standing in front of him safe and sound again is more precious than anything else.
Even though the act of rebirth itself was so incredible, even far beyond his previous understanding and cognition of the field of science and technology; even though in his past concepts, a miracle like rebirth was simply impossible to happen.
But now, all doubts and confusion can be put aside for the time being, because Kallen is here, within reach, so real.
This alone is enough.
"You've come at the right time, Otto. There's an injured ordinary person here. Take him back and see if you can revive him."
Otto's arrival broke the deadlock that Karen was worried about. Although she didn't know what her fate would be, at least... this unconscious guy should be able to survive.
Following Kallen's line of sight, Otto noticed the person lying on the ground.
"Lu Qiong?"
