Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

"How are you feeling? A real headache, isn't it?"

Otto's statement seemed like a self-destructive act.

Actually, it's meant for those who are smart enough.

If he denies it at this point, it will only give people the impression that his explanation is a cover-up.

The only approach is to think in reverse. At this point, if the strangers believe they are lying and leading everyone astray, or if they combine data to determine that most of what he said is true, but a few lies are hidden like landmines within the truth...

Regardless of the method, as long as the other party spends time thinking and verifying, his goal of delaying time has been achieved.

Just as the Jewish proverb says, "When man thinks, God laughs," Otto was never afraid of having a clever opponent, but rather someone like a paramecium...

It's like Zhuge Liang's Empty City Stratagem; if he encountered a reckless and brainless person, then there would be no future for him.

This is why smart people only like to play with other smart people, and experienced players in Werewolf don't really like to mentor newbies.

I'm afraid you're using reverse thinking, and as a result, others don't understand your good intentions at all, and you're just throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind person.

"So this is your plan, Grandpa," Theresa said, indicating that she understood.

"Then all we need to do is revive you and then seal you away!"

Sirin agreed, "I will immediately contact the researchers inside Umbrella Corporation to create a container to seal Otto."

Otto is the enemy of almost all of them, and they will definitely design the most perfect sealing facility for him—the kind that even a solar explosion cannot destroy, so that Otto can live with his endless life in the eternal despair.

“Wait a minute.” Bella felt she should pour some cold water on Celine’s enthusiasm. “If all of this is true, then our next steps will indeed be much simpler, but…”

Don't you question the source of this information?

She pointed this out, and both Sirin and Theresa felt a chill run down their spines.

Yes, all of this information came from Otto.

He's a liar.

"He's definitely lying to us!"

"Damn it, I almost got dragged into a ditch by that old bastard."

"and many more."

Chen Jie couldn't sit still any longer. If he let them continue their noisy discussion, he would be falling into Otto's trap.

“Now I will begin to explain. You should pretend you didn’t hear what Otto just said and don’t try to think about it on your own.”

"First, based on data from three attack experiments, the historical erosion phenomenon intensifies after Otto is injured."

"Combining these two points, firstly, the point at which historical erosion occurred was after Mebius injured Otto, and the point at which the erosion intensified was when he broke into Kevin's fight with Mebius and was severely injured irreversibly."

"Therefore, Otto's life being tied to the timeline is a fact that can be definitively established."

Kiana raised her hand and asked, "Um, what if he was manipulating all of this, doing it on purpose for us?"

"Good question, young lady."

Chen Jie pushed up his glasses; it was truly rare to find someone who would willingly step aside and play the straight man when he was about to put on a show.

“Here, we can think in terms of benefits.”

"If all of this is Otto's acting, then where does he get his reward?"

He paused, giving everyone time to think.

Tesla immediately thought of the answer: "Let us be afraid to kill him because we don't want to harm him."

"Yes, after learning that Otto was bound to the timeline, no matter how much we resented or were angry, we dared not kill him again."

"Okay, let's write this conclusion down for now and put it aside."

"Let's consider Otto's actions from the time he brought disaster upon himself to the present day."

"He first made a deal with the Honkai Will, then betrayed the Honkai Will, made a deal with the Imaginary Tree that was above his level, obtained the power of a false god, died with our help to break free from the control of the Imaginary Tree, betrayed the Imaginary Tree, and lived out his third life."

"Otto, the Herrscher of God, was more powerful than he was in his pseudo-god state, according to key information provided by the fairy Ellie."

"But look at what he, with his immense power, has done."

“He provoked us, talked on and on for a long time without attacking, letting us hit him, and was eventually injured by Mebius’s charged attack—which exposed his weakness to time.”

Looking back now.

Otto's behavior at the time was indeed a bit strange, and it could no longer be summed up as a case of trying to show off but ending up getting fucked instead. This suspicion was amplified many times over after the stranger pointed it out to them.

"Then, he interrupted Kevin's fight with Mebius and was injured..."

“This series of actions is inconsistent with his previous image as someone who was almost superhumanly intelligent.”

"Aside from the possibility that his brain was burned by Honkai energy and that the Herrscher of God's resurrection ritual had some kind of plot hole, there is only one other answer left."

"Otto is deliberately seeking death!"

"But this contradicts our first conclusion: that Otto was putting on an act, making us think he was bound to the timeline, and that we were hesitant to kill him because we were afraid of harming him."

"Therefore, it is easy to conclude that the hypothesis is invalid."

"Furthermore, it is known that the phenomenon of historical erosion is related to Otto, so it is a fact that he is tied to the timeline."

The logic is clear and the organization is well-organized.

Even Kiana understood.

Uh……

At least she understood every word and the final conclusion.

She thought to herself, "Uncle Elke has such good logical thinking skills, he must be really good at solving word problems."

The period when her parents forced her to study academic subjects was a nightmare for her entire life. It would have been much easier to go out and kill a few Honkai Beasts.

……

Chapter 232 Don't Die!

Chen Jie continued his analysis:

"Now think about it again, why did Otto, who had been keeping his senses closed and silent all along, suddenly speak up? It can't be explained as a sudden whim, can it?"

He's right!

In that situation, given Otto's desire to control the situation, he absolutely could not continue to bury his head in the sand and remain silent as things unfolded.

It's better to stay still than to act rashly.

Whether he chooses positive thinking and denies the stranger's speculation, or plays the reverse thinking card like he is now, secretly setting logical traps for the other party.

But no matter how sweet his words were, they couldn't change the fact that Otto had changed from being silent to speaking.

What caused this shift?

There were signs on the field that he believed were about to slip out of control.

Chen Jie exposed Otto's plan.

Otto didn't lose to Chen Jie; he lost to his five-hundred-year-old habits and his lifelong desire for control.

He lost to his own arrogance.

"So what we need to do next is to save Otto's life."

do not die!

Unexpectedly, after going through all that trouble, everyone who originally wanted to kill Otto ended up gathering together to figure out how to save this Herrscher of God.

“But…” Xilin scratched her head, clearly still not quite understanding.

"It would feel a little strange to believe everything Otto said."

Theresa agreed, "Yes."

The Crouching Dragon has already charged forward; how can the Young Phoenix retreat?

“I have studied my grandfather’s previous cases of lying. Sometimes, even when he lied, he would not completely deceive, but would mix one or two errors into a large amount of truth to lead others astray.”

Chen Jie waved his hand.

“I said from the beginning that we should pretend we didn’t hear him at all, and we should only use data and inferences as the criteria for our actions.”

"Even if Otto has set some logical traps in there, the most urgent task is to keep him alive and prevent the erosion of history from intensifying."

This erosion occurs equally to all living beings.

It won't change because of your social status or family wealth. Even those present had experienced flickering and disconnection several times.

“Mr. Elke is right,” Einstein nodded.

Cecilia pulled out the Black Abyss White Flower: "Then let me try it first."

The white flower, representing the power of life, was inserted into Otto's crystalline body (Chen Jie had previously poked three holes in it), and the zero rated power was released, Holy Lance · Welwitschia mirabilis!

however……

This treatment, which could have easily brought a dying person back to life or even killed them, had absolutely no effect on Otto.

"call."

Cecilia shook her head.

"No, perhaps Otto's current life form as the Herrscher of God is somewhat special, and the healing ability of the Black Abyss White Flower simply cannot work on him."

It's probably because there aren't enough levels of hierarchy.

The remaining researchers from the four organizations were all urgently summoned together.

For this Otto, don't devise plans and schemes.

You say one thing, I say another.

Some simple and feasible solutions will be tried immediately.

The entire world's resources are allocated for sustenance, without considering any other issues—if we cannot survive this disaster, everything will be reset to five hundred years ago, which, for an intelligent life form, is no different from death.

Even if a new version of myself appears in another five hundred years.

Seeing everyone fail time and time again, Otto calmed down once more.

Right.

He had overacted during his performance.

The stranger saw through his desperate desire to die, which led to a series of collapses.

Even now, he hasn't lost!

However, the magic trick has now been revealed, and it remains to be seen whether the other party will find a way to save him first, or whether he will die from his worsening injuries.

As I said before, time is on his side.

As the injuries worsen and the impact of historical erosion on the present world intensifies, the research of these scientists is bound to be affected.

The stranger used his wisdom to forcefully turn a situation that was originally destined to lose into one with a slight chance of winning.

Now, let's race against time!

Mebius sent a message saying she was being held up by Kevin and unfortunately couldn't offer any assistance.

"I think that just as we can't hurt Otto with ordinary attacks, we naturally can't treat his injuries with ordinary treatments," Dr. Einstein said, expressing his opinion.

"Time still requires means to influence time. If we can create a device to stabilize the time field, we can probably slow down the process of Otto, the Herrscher of God, dying."

A device for stabilizing a time field?

Chen Jie was taken aback.

"This idea... won't be easy to accomplish, will it?"

“I have absolutely no clue.” Einstein shrugged. “Give me five to ten years and I might be able to make a finished product, but it certainly can’t be manufactured in the next few days.”

Sure enough, there's not even a theory now.

Although a Honkai energy device that uses time attacks has been created, the technological gap between this and stable time control is too large!

Let me give you an example.

Processed, specially time-influencing destructive energy → crude oil seeping from underground

A group of primitive people discovered this black water, discovered that crude oil could be burned, and discovered that they could throw the burning crude oil onto other animals to attack them with fire.
