Otto took a deep breath to calm himself down. Since their last meeting, he had been constantly thinking about the other person's form of existence, and now he was able to get along with the other person openly.
"The shattered consciousness, we meet again."
The humanoid, known as the Honkai Consciousness, did not speak, but the message it wanted to convey appeared directly in Otto's thoughts.
Otto was not surprised by this; the last time they met, he had asked the other party how to resurrect a person.
Without any explanation, the other party stuffed all the data and knowledge on Earth into Otto's mind.
That was a massive amount of information that human thought simply could not process.
In DC Comics, The Flash had a similar experience. He could use his superhuman speed to learn the knowledge he needed in a short time, but due to his own limitations, he would also forget that knowledge at the same speed.
The sheer volume of information left no trace in Otto's mind. Otto was stunned and thought the other party was omniscient and omnipotent.
However, based on the opponent's performance and the newly acquired information, Otto can now confirm that the opponent is definitely not a god, nor is it the will of the entire Imaginary Tree.
Of course, for now, he still needs to look up to the other party.
"So why did you call me here?"
"..."
The Honkai consciousness showed Otto the battle between Karl and Kevin in the Sea of Quanta. The power of the two could be described as earth-shattering, and they would probably be invincible on Earth.
However, Otto's attention was firmly drawn to the blood-red ring on Kevin's hand.
"That's... the lamp ring!"
Otto was finding it hard to stay calm; that was a light ring!
Otto recently binge-read many DC comics, and he found many ways to resurrect people from them. However, resurrection is not an easy task, and Otto knows that many methods are not actually applicable to his goal.
As Carl said before, differences between worlds can render many methods ineffective.
For example, the most obvious method is magic. There are many methods of this type, such as resurrecting people with spells or rescuing people from hell.
However, all these methods require one prerequisite: the soul of the deceased. With a soul present, resurrection becomes much easier for a magician.
Unfortunately, Otto couldn't be sure if the people in their world had souls. Even if they did, without places like Heaven and Hell to contain them, souls from 500 years ago would probably have already dissipated.
To resurrect someone from 500 years ago, Otto had to find another way, and the Lamp Ring just happened to be one of the solutions that met his requirements.
The emotional spectrum has the power to revive people; for example, the opposite extreme of the spectrum to the red light is the purple light of love.
It is a ring powered by love. Like the red ring, the purple ring is one of the extremes and has extremely powerful abilities. It also has a function that no other ring has – resurrection.
As long as the deceased has someone who loves them, the Purple Lantern can use that love as a bridge to resurrect them. This method of resurrection has no side effects, and the only limitation is that the time since death cannot be too long.
From this perspective, the ring still doesn't seem to meet Otto's needs; the person he wants to resurrect has been dead for 500 years.
And the fact that they love each other... does he need to find a way to resurrect the fox spirit first?
Well, it's not impossible. If it really works out, Otto wouldn't mind paying any price.
Getting back to the point, while the power of the Purple Lantern may have limitations, Otto knew that the Purple Lantern was only a part of the emotional spectrum, and that there was a stronger and more complete power above it—a power capable of resurrecting anyone.
Otto forced himself to calm down and then said, "It seems you know what I'm thinking, so you must have your reasons for showing me this."
"..."
"Oh, do you need me to do it for you?"
The other party's request came to mind, and Otto smiled. It seemed that the other party was not as omnipotent as he thought.
"Your request is very helpful to me, and I have no reason to refuse. But I have a question: why are you doing this? I don't see what you can gain from it."
"..."
"Ah, that's true. I shouldn't have applied human thinking to you."
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate."
The white space dissipated, and Otto's consciousness returned to his room. He was still sitting properly in his chair, with the computer in front of him displaying information from all over Schicksal, including the commotion that Karl and Durandal had just caused.
Otto opened the communications system and instructed the various departments to issue orders.
"Please remain calm, Valkyries and staff. The explosion just now was not an attack by an enemy; it was just Durandal testing her power. Please return to your posts as soon as possible and maintain normal operations."
Otto immediately suppressed the commotion caused by Destiny. It wasn't a big deal, but if left unchecked, Karl would definitely be bothered by the curious Valkyries for a long time.
Otto planned to speak with Karl again as soon as possible.
About ten minutes later, Otto reappeared in front of Karl.
"Your Excellency." "Your Excellency." Rita and Durandal greeted each other.
After his routine response, Otto turned his attention directly to Karl.
"Mr. Superman, you've been touring for about an hour now. What do you think of the Destiny organization?"
Carl said, "Compared to most organizations, they are quite good, and these Valkyries all have a sincere heart."
Carl complimented her, then asked, "Have you arranged everything regarding the potion?"
“Don’t worry, everything is taken care of,” Otto said. “I came here today to ask if you had any prior contact with the World Serpent?”
"Yes, is there a problem?" Karl readily admitted.
Otto's troops were stationed outside Abyss City, so it was normal for him to receive the news. Besides, Karl never intended to hide it.
Chapter 132 Fu Hua's Wish
“Of course, no problem,” Otto said with a smile. “It’s your freedom to contact whomever you want.”
"Then why are you asking this?" Carl asked.
Otto said, "I would like to ask you to introduce me to the leader of the World Serpent. I know he is a warrior who survived from a previous civilization, and I have always wanted to make contact with him, but unfortunately he is not interested."
World Serpents are the most adept at hiding among all organizations. Otto might be able to find some clues about them, but he might not be able to meet their leader Kevin in a short time, so he plans to take a shortcut through Karl.
“Okay, they should contact me soon, and I’ll come find you to go together then,” Carl quickly agreed.
There's no reason to refuse. It's just a small matter, and Otto always likes to cause trouble behind the scenes. It's more appropriate to keep him in front of me and let him interact with the World Serpent.
"I've pretty much seen everything here, so I'll head back to St. Freya now. It was a bit impolite of me to leave without saying goodbye to the headmaster there."
Otto said, "Well, Superman, have a safe journey. The headmistress there is my granddaughter; please give her my regards."
Karl nodded, then flew away from Destiny.
Arriving above St. Freya Academy, Karl originally intended to go straight to his office, but then he saw Fu Hua. He immediately left, leaving Fu Hua behind, and now Fu Hua is still there.
Carl landed in front of her and asked curiously, "Why are you still here? Haven't you already completed your mission?"
Fu Hua gently shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just haven't decided where I want to go yet."
Fu Hua's mission at St. Freya Academy was to monitor Kiana, who was a spy sent by Otto, but she has now been exposed.
The people here already know that she will secretly contact headquarters, and it is no longer possible for her to contact them without any scruples as usual. Fu Hua doesn't know if this counts as a mission failure, but she knows that she probably has nowhere to stay at St. Freya Academy.
"Are you feeling lost about your life?" Carl asked.
Fu Hua had to admit that she had a very fulfilling and happy time at the academy, and the sudden end left her feeling somewhat melancholy.
Of course, this is only temporary. Fu Hua has a firm goal and belief in her heart, and no matter what happens, she will definitely keep going.
She didn't want to talk about it now, so she changed the subject: "Let's not talk about me. Superman, you've already met Bishop Otto, right? What's your impression of him?"
Carl replied casually, "It's alright."
Seeing this, Fu Hua became serious and said, "I need to remind you that Otto is not a trustworthy person. No matter what his behavior looks like on the surface, it is definitely not his true thoughts. You must be very vigilant when dealing with him, because he is definitely not a good person in the traditional sense."
Fu Hua was still somewhat worried that Karl would be misled by Otto. Although she hadn't deliberately tried to get in touch with him, Fu Hua had read some works about Superman under the influence of her students.
Because of his trust in human goodwill, Superman has been deceived many times. In the works, it's fine, but in the real world, Superman's powers can cause great disaster if not used properly.
“I will remain vigilant towards him,” Carl reassured the other party.
Then he countered, "But what about you? Since you said the other party isn't a good person and even came to remind me, why do you still obey their orders?"
Faced with this question, Fu Hua remained silent for a long time.
She would never tell an ordinary person if asked, but Carl was different. He was an outsider, and the kind of person who was kind and trustworthy, making him a good confidant.
"In order to protect the Divine Land," Fu Hua said, "my power is no longer sufficient to fulfill my mission, and the help of Destiny is essential."
Karl retrieved memories of Fu Hua from his mind.
Then he said, "From what you're saying, you used to have the ability to protect China, but you don't anymore. Why? Were you injured?"
Fu Hua nodded: "Yes, a long time ago I suffered a serious injury that almost completely drained my power."
When she said "a long time ago," she meant 500 years ago.
Karl knew that Fu Hua's true identity, like Kevin's, was that of a survivor from a previous civilization.
5 years ago, civilization was destroyed by the Herrscher of the End, and a few warriors entered hibernation pods to leave behind the last embers.
5000 years ago, these warriors began to awaken one by one. Some of them were fusion warriors who had incorporated Honkai Beast genes and had extremely long lifespans, such as Kevin and Fu Hua.
These warriors had a difficult life. Kevin wanted to carry out the early Stigmata Project 1500 years ago, but was sealed into the Sea of Quanta by his friend.
Fu Hua has been guarding the land of China alone for 5000 years, constantly witnessing the departure of those around her. And that's not all. 500 years ago, Fu Hua was betrayed by her own disciple.
The seven disciples worked together to kill her. Although Fu Hua survived thanks to her special physique, she lost almost all of her power.
In order to carry out her mission, Fu Hua had no choice but to cooperate with Schicksal.
Karl sighed inwardly. There were many tragic characters in the Honkai world, and Fu Hua was one of the most tragic among them.
Since he was already there, Carl decided to lend a hand.
Carl began, "So, you don't want to live the life you have now, right?"
Fu Hua was stunned for a moment. She rarely asked herself whether she wanted to or not, and she had long been used to drifting with fate.
When she was still an ordinary person, she was preparing to inherit her family's martial arts school step by step. After the collapse destroyed the city, she joined the resistance organization. Later, she became a fusion warrior step by step, carrying out plans and protecting China.
Few of these were things she truly wanted to do, but she did them anyway, and did them very well.
Fu Hua thought for a while and finally nodded.
So Karl said directly, "That's simple then. I'll heal you, and then you can live the life you want. At least don't stay here foolishly anymore."
Fu Hua shook her head and said, "My injury is not so easy to heal. No one in modern times can cure me. Even if they could, it would probably take you a long time to treat me."
