The scene appeared to be a village in the Far East, and the villagers' clothing and architectural style were unusually ancient.

"This is?"

"This is Yae Village from five hundred years ago."

Otto's breathing quickened.

Before he could ask, Sirin said, "Adam is on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, starting from a certain point in time five hundred years ago, and has reopened a new timeline."

Sirin's tone was a little subtle: "However, before rescuing your Kallen, that lecherous guy is planning to go to Yae Village to snatch up the Yae Sakura sisters. You don't know, he's been eyeing Yae Sakura for many years... Oh, you're actually laughing when you hear your rival's name?"

Why would anyone think that Yae Sakura and I are rivals in love?

Otto reluctantly turned his gaze away from the altered historical footage.

He sighed, "My marriage to Karen was, from beginning to end, a political alliance arranged by our fathers with ulterior motives. She never accepted the marriage, and I never intended to use it to explain anything to the world."

"You mean, for the past five hundred years you've been trying to resurrect a woman you love but who doesn't love you?"

"Cirin, you don't understand."

Siren: “O_O?”

I don't think it's my problem.

It is your ideas, Bishop Otto's ideas, that are too ahead of their time.

Chapter 109 Sirin's Final Revenge.

"Karen is free; it's her freedom to love whomever she wants. All I can do is silently wish her well."

"To be honest, is that really what you think?"

"They say that a dying man's words are good, so why would I need to lie to you now?"

As long as it's Karen's wish.

As long as Karen can find happiness.

Even her happiness with someone else.

Otto would gladly accept it and offer his sincerest blessings.

"..."

Celine looked disgusted.

She wasn't disgusted by such negative evaluations of her relationship.

She was certain of one thing: Otto Apocalypse was the most utterly despicable man she had ever met.

Physical torture and harm are completely useless.

The best way to get revenge on Otto is to cut off his hope of reviving Kallen. This is easy to do, whether it's the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle or the Void Authority, there are plenty of ways to make a move.

The most vicious method would be to kill him just before he succeeds in climbing the tree.

However, none of these methods worked for Sirin.

If it were either Sakayanagi Arisu or Nishiki Chitsuka, those two shameless individuals, they wouldn't care about going back on their word or acting like scoundrels.

Celine won't do.

Her deep-seated pride meant that she could choose not to be a villain, but she could not be a petty person.

As long as she is still willing to acknowledge the deal made seventeen years ago, she cannot do so, because she must help revive Karen.

Therefore, she had few ways to retaliate against Otto; the only option was to attack his spirit.

Before today, Sakayanagi Arisu had devised many ways to undermine her moral character.

For example, telling Otto that he doesn't need to help with saving Kallen at all, and that he won't give him any sense of actually saving Kallen.

But it's no use; that golden retriever will definitely laugh like a dog.

Is Karen important? Yes!

Is saving Karen important? Yes, it is!

Does it matter whether Otto personally saved Kallen or not?

......unimportant.

Doesn't your personal intervention make you, Miss Celine, seem incredibly skillful?

Does it matter if you witness Karen being saved with your own eyes?

It's not important.

Miss Celine, you don't seem like the type to go back on your word!

Damn it, I'll arrange for Kallen to be resurrected and end up with Yae Sakura, doesn't that matter?

Please present my gift money on my behalf.

...See? This is the authentic, top-quality rolled pork, truly impervious to oil and salt.

As Arisu said.

If you still want to keep your promise, there's only one way left to disgust him.

“Witness the miracle first. Even if you don’t know what happened in Yae Village five hundred years ago, you should have heard Karen mention it. Adam is going to save the Yae sisters now. At this point, Karen shouldn’t have gone to the Far East yet.”

"Witness the change in the world line with your own eyes, so you won't have any doubts when you're about to die."

Otto smiled: "It is my greatest honor to witness the power of God with my own eyes."

Far East, during the Wenzheng era.

The remote Shinano region, lacking rivers, has long been plagued by drought. In Yae Village, a deity called the Fox God is worshipped. Whenever villagers offer sacrifices to it, the Fox God appears and provides rainwater for the village.

After Yae Sakura grew up, the village suffered another long drought. Her father, the head priest of the shrine, held a ritual and offered several women as sacrifices, but it had no effect. The village elders believed that the ritual failed because the sacrifices were not virgins.

Therefore, they proposed offering sacrifices containing the bloodline of the priestess.

Therefore, the priest chose Yae Sakura's younger sister, Yae Rin, as the sacrifice and entrusted the ritual to Yae Sakura to preside over.

......

"In the seventh year of the Bunzheng era, before the sacrificial ceremony, Yae Sakura attempted to secretly take her younger sister away and escape from Yae Village. However, the shrine priest had anticipated this and held the ceremony in advance, severing Rin's Achilles tendon, causing her plan to fail before it even began."

"The auspicious hour has arrived. The shrine priest seized Sakura's hand holding the sword and killed Rin."

"After the ritual ended, it indeed rained. The villagers sang and shouted in the rain, but only the shrine maiden, grieving the loss of her beloved sister, shed tears of blood. From then on, she harbored hatred for her father and the villagers, and even more so for that ethereal fox god."

"In the eleventh year of the Wenzheng era, a Western priestess named Karen Kaslana drifted to Yae Village with a black box and was rescued by Yae Sakura."

"Sealed within the black box is a Herrscher of the previous civilization, the twelfth Herrscher before the End, born in the chasm between life and death. Initially, it fed on information and data, but as it grew stronger, it could invade everything in the universe and corrupt even the seven emotions and six desires..."

I paused briefly, then continued writing on the paper.

"After being brought to Yae Village by a Western priestess, the Herrscher sensed Yae Sakura's hatred and silently infected her, turning her into a pseudo-Herrscher. She then induced Yae Sakura to slaughter the entire village. Later, she and Yae Sakura were sealed away by Kallen, only to see the light of day again five hundred years later..."

In the empty courtyard, the traveler from afar put down his brush and blew on it.

He glanced at the girl in the cherry blossom-colored shrine maiden's robe beside him, noticing her shifting expression, and smiled, "Sakura, what do you think of my story?"

"Is this really my future?"

A complex expression appeared on Yae Sakura's beautiful face: "I can't believe it."

Starting a month ago, a man who called himself Adam appeared by her side. His clothes and manner of speaking were completely out of place with the villagers.

However, apart from himself, no one else could see him or hear him speak.

It was as if a ghost had possessed him.

But after spending a month together, she stopped caring so much.

Anyway, apart from being a little covetous of her looks, the other party neither did anything bad nor hurt anyone, and would often tell her stories that she didn't know were true or false, so Yae Sakura wasn't too bothered by it.

"Don't believe me? Then, what kind of person do you think Yae Sakura is in the story I wrote?"

The girl fell into deep thought.

Adam scrutinized her closely.

The loose-fitting shrine maiden outfit couldn't completely conceal Yae Sakura's perfect, exquisite figure.

Her cherry-colored long hair was casually draped behind her head, reaching her waist. The half of her calves that were exposed at the hem of her clothes were delicate and fair, and below that were a pair of beautiful feet clad in white footwear.

Unlike white silk, it doesn't directly whet people's appetite.

But it makes people wonder, wanting to see just how beautiful those feet really are.

"In the story, Yae Sakura..."

The girl's blue eyes concealed her emotions, and she finally commented only: "I had no choice in the matter."

"Being unable to control one's own destiny" is just a load of nonsense.

"what?"

"If you can't control your own heart, how can you control your own body? If you ask me, you should have killed everyone who proposed it when the villagers decided to choose your sister as a sacrifice!"

"As the chief deity, Father also agreed."

She sighed: "Could I possibly kill my father?"

"Even tigers don't eat their cubs. How can he be considered a father if he would harm his own daughter?"

Adam picked up the papers from the table and gave her a surprised look.

Aren't you leaving yet?

Where am I going?

"Didn't you decide to run away with your sister tonight?"

Yae Sakura remained silent.

She packed her luggage secretly, without telling anyone about her plan, yet the other person revealed it in just a few words.

Moreover, his tone was extremely confident.

It was as if the story he wrote was destined to happen.

"A story is just a story! A story can't become reality! I'll take Rin with me and go live somewhere no one can find us."

"What if you can't do it? You believe the Fox God won't allow you to do that, so do you want to become a rebellious priestess?"

"...I will do it."

A hint of stubbornness appeared on Yae Sakura's gentle and beautiful face as she gave the answer she had repeated ninety-nine times.

One more time and I'm guaranteed a minimum.

......

Far East, the seventh year of the Wenzheng era.

In Yae Village, which is said to be protected by a fox god, hundreds of people disappeared overnight during a drought-stricken village festival. Local legend says that the fox god appeared to them and took them to a blessed land where the weather is good and the harvest is plentiful, where they lived happily ever after...

Four years later, Karen Kaslana, who had drifted to this land, learned the story from the locals.

Treating it as a minor anecdote and putting it out of her mind, the Holy Maiden of Destiny embarked on a brief journey to the Far East. However, not long after, she was captured by the people of Destiny and brought back.

At the council meeting at the headquarters of Destiny, Karen, in front of those important figures, denounced Destiny for launching the Eastern Expedition without cause, and further denounced the issuance of so-called "indulgences" after the failure of the expedition, which was actually a way to plunder the people and make up for the war losses.

Not only that, the righteous saint also revealed a shocking secret: Destiny was secretly conducting human experiments...

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the council thought Karen had gone mad, and declared in court that the saint's noble soul had been defiled by the demons of the Far East.

Ultimately, they sentenced Karen to death by hanging, stripping her of her title of Saint.

In 1477 AD, Kallen Kaslana walked to the execution ground. For some unknown reason, Honkai Beasts appeared there. To protect the people, she smashed her shackles and tore the noose around her neck, ultimately being killed by a Honkai Beast.

"That's it! This is the spot!"

Time has stopped flowing in the world.

Beneath the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, Adam pointed to the trunk and nodded to Otto, who had just arrived: "You will walk the final leg of the journey yourself, Bishop Otto. From an outsider's perspective, your life is truly difficult to evaluate."

"I don't need anyone to judge me..."

Otto wore a self-deprecating smile.
