Chen Jie's speech was rambling and disorganized.

But Otto had to listen carefully and analyze every word the other person said.

"Once, in a certain world, I temporarily ascended to the level of sublimation by using the Golden Throne and three different source substances..."

First, distinguish between the real and fake, then find the area where the instrument can be used, thus turning a passive situation into an active one.

Even if he does nothing and just lies there waiting to die, his chances of winning are still very high.

Let alone weeks, months, or even years, it would be difficult to find a way to sever him from the world line with current technology.

After all, this is an unrepeatable miracle achieved through the power of imaginary numbers.

But that's not like him!

You must take your destiny into your own hands.

No, it should be said this way.

If fate prevents him from resurrecting Kallen, then he will seize fate by the throat and strangle and twist it.

but……

My head hurts.

The information bombardment from the outsiders, coupled with the pain generated by the Golden Throne itself.

It must be said that Chen Jie's attempt to manipulate people's mindsets was largely successful.

"...Actually, there is one thing I lied to Einstein and the others."

Chen Jie's tone suddenly changed, "This golden throne can extend your life by more than just one month."

Otto suspected that the Stranger was trying to deceive him.

But this transition was too abrupt, to the point that it was so outrageous that it didn't seem like a bandit at all.

"You should have felt it by now."

"That invisible fire that burns from within."

"That is a self-sacrifice that uses everything about a person as fuel to light up the whole world."

“However, being tied up like this can’t be considered self-sacrifice,” Chen Jie chuckled. “In the Honkai world, the Honkai energy torch you created will be more effective at blocking and dispersing.”

"Now, as long as you are alive, the magnitude, corrosiveness, and activity of the Honkai energy in the entire world will be completely suppressed, almost turning it into an inert and controllable energy."

"Similarly, the Twelfth Herald, the Herald of Erosion, will not be born."

"Do you remember what I told you when I was Oliveira? Many high-level observers recognized your talent and believed that if you hadn't been blinded by your obsession with reviving Kallen, you would have been the most likely person to resolve the Honkai..."

Congratulations, Mr. Otto!

"You have now accomplished the feat of resolving the Honkai using your own body!"

"..."

Chen Jie pressed his advantage: "As firewood, you can burn on the Golden Throne for at least a month, not just a month."

"If you have a strong will to survive and a strong sense of self-control, this time can be greatly extended."

Oh.

That's a good point.

Burn yourself to save the world?

It's a joke! Otto could have simply died to bring Kallen back to life, so how could he possibly have any will to live at that moment...?

More like a suicidal urge.

"Listen to me, I have a lot of knowledge from another world..."

Chen Jie got down to business. All the talk about trying to get Otto's mindset and undermine him was just a prelude to this moment!

“I am confident that within a month I will find more ways to prolong your life, and then over a long period of time I will sever your connection with the 500-year timeline of the original world.”

"You can gamble, but I'm definitely not the one who will lose!"

"After all, I am an outsider. Death is to me much like the death of a character in a game."

"Of course, besides a fight to the death, there is another path in front of you."

"Accept your fate as firewood."

"As long as your vital signs stabilize, we will not look for ways to disconnect you from the timeline."

"Because everything has reached a precise and stable balance, we have no confidence to change it on our own."

"And what you can gain is the future."

"You can expect that one day in the future, I, this stranger, will disappear, and you will find a way to counter and utilize the power of the Golden Throne over a long period of time."

"That way, you can get the whole plan back on track, which is called 'Resurrecting Kallen'."

"Come on, make your choice!"

……

Chapter 235 Goodbye, Great Inventor

Chen Jie's words implied that Otto now only had two paths to choose from.

He will remain silent until the countdown to his death ends and he wins, or until the four major organizations unravel his plan.

This route can be called the "lying flat" route.

I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake.

The second option is to feign compliance and temporarily choose to cooperate with the stranger.

As fuel, sacrificing him would destroy the entire world's happiness.

The advantage is that she can live indefinitely. As long as she lives, there is hope of making a comeback and reviving Kallen.

A glimmer of hope.

Hope is the sweetest poison in the world; even if countless people know the chances are slim, they are willing to drink it all.

Otto remained silent, lost in thought.

Actually, he has a third option: if he can find a flaw in the Golden Throne plan...

Okay, the probability is extremely low. Nobody here is stupid and they're not so easily manipulated.

Otto was clearly wavering.

"Did you know that Einstein and Tesla are currently working on a time capsule project?"

Chen Jie pressed his advantage, continuing to apply pressure:

"However, this time capsule is not meant to give things from the present to your future self, but rather to preserve some things after you complete the timeline reset."

“Sent to five hundred years ago.”

"Perhaps it's a modified supervirus, perhaps it's nano-soul steel capable of devouring everything after its internal restrictions are lifted, perhaps it's a super..."

Large-scale Honkai energy mutation bomb..."

"In short, this gift was enough to destroy the world five hundred years ago."

His words were half true and half false.

The time capsule plan has not yet been approved within the four major organizations, and many people think it's too crazy and too absolute.

Even if Otto completes the reset, they don't need to destroy the civilization from 500 years ago. They can simply wait for time to pass, and everything will return to its modern state.

Even if my present self disappears, I will be a hero again five hundred years later.

But Chen Jie knew that he couldn't afford to have such wishful thinking when dealing with Otto!

"Think about it, even if you fulfill your wish to resurrect Kallen, she will perish again along with you and this world!"

"Stranger, you!"

Otto didn't know what to say.

Even he never considered destroying the world with his own hands, because he hoped that Kallen, after her resurrection, would live in a familiar world, not in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Chen Jie's move was intended to achieve a strategic balance with Otto through the means of destruction and binding.

It's like two countries that both possess nuclear weapons, mutually deterring and binding each other with nuclear weapons.

He is the swordsman who holds the power of destruction!

“I swear, if you reduce everything I cherish in this world to nothing, even if the time capsule project does not achieve its intended purpose, I will make my past self from 500 years ago unleash a catastrophe.”

Chen Jie did not want to destroy the world, just as Otto would never give up on reviving Kallen.

But at this point, we absolutely cannot back down.

Taking a step back means falling into the hell of failure.

"..."

look at each other.

Silence, long silence.

Ultimately, O

To let out a sigh:

"You won this round."

Chen Jie has blocked all his escape routes; what else can he do?

He even came up with a time capsule plan that would destroy the world together with the enemy. Even if he successfully resets it, this gift from 500 years in the future will reset everything to zero.

Along with his Karen.

But by then he was already dead and powerless to change anything.

"I will stand guard in the prison and throne you have built for me, waiting for the next opportunity to come."

Suddenly, the data on the testing instrument changed.

The mind is more powerful than things.

As Otto's mindset changed and he no longer sought death, his breakdowns ceased.

As fuel for the Golden Throne, one's mental state can affect how long it burns; a steadfast heart makes it burn longer.

No one can guarantee that they will always be a winner.

Just polite words?

No.

Rather than saving face, it's more about a frank and open approach to bringing everything to the forefront.

This peace is merely a temporary reconciliation achieved under duress.

Otto is constantly thinking about how to break the deadlock and create new waves, while Einstein and his team are also constantly researching how to separate Otto from the timeline without affecting the effectiveness of the Golden Throne.

Both sides have their own ulterior motives.

The long and arduous battle was finally coming to an end, and even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, Chen Jie was still in a good mood.

“Here’s a suggestion for you, Mr. Otto: if your resurrection plan doesn’t push the whole world to its opposite side, they won’t unite to fight against you.”

"Ah, no matter how much sand and gravel are gathered together, it can never form a tall tower."

To Otto, most people are just puppets, NPCs in a game, beings whose data is less important than anything else.

"It's less about losing to that rabble and more about losing to you and a few others."

Chen Jie waved his finger: "No, there's something called a sand sculpture."

"..."

Do you even know that the power of the people is the greatest power? Comrade Otto, your thinking is a bit out of step with the mainstream ideology.

"Of course, even if you come up with a new plan that has no impact on the world, I will still stop you during its execution," Chen Jie whispered.

"This doesn't represent anyone else, it only represents myself. This part is a personal grudge."

Otto, of course, would not let these few words affect his mind.
