In his eyes, true resurrection naturally meant bringing back the exact same Kallen as she once was.
Although the God of Honkai had flooded him with a lot of garbage information, at least some of it was very useful. He needed to return to his own lair to digest it thoroughly.
For example, the hints from his dear friend five hundred years ago, along with some knowledge about the Imaginary that the god had given him, had already shown him the general direction of the resurrection plan.
"In that case, let's kill the Second Herrscher. Old friend, she no longer has any value." Otto paid no mind to the relationship between Sirin and his dear friend. After all, what his dear friend had said five hundred years ago was that whatever Otto did afterward would depend entirely on his own heart.
In Otto's heart, wasn't the Second Herrscher Sirin already useless? Since she was useless, killing her was fine. Besides, Honkai was also Otto's enemy.
Unexpectedly, the next moment Otto heard Fu Hua's bitter voice. "While you were unconscious, the Second Herrscher briefly woke up. But for some reason, she did not attack me. She simply turned her body into a state I couldn't interfere with, then was hypnotized by Fenghuang Down again."
Upon hearing this, Otto simply chuckled. Had she become immersed in false illusions? Even after realizing it was fake, she still refused to wake up.
"Then… old friend, what do you suggest we do?" Otto admitted he had no way to attack the Second Herrscher while she was in her Imaginary state.
"There is only one way left. I will dispel the Fenghuang Down illusion, then burn my own memories to kill the Second Herrscher. She is too dangerous to humanity. We cannot let her leave Babylon Tower alive."
"I'll listen to you, old friend." Otto nodded, having no objections. However, he had already prepared to leave this place. He understood the essence of the way of survival.
Fu Hua sighed. Even if she had opinions about Otto's behavior of wanting his allies to die rather than himself, there was nothing she could do. After all, she still needed Schicksal in many aspects right now.
Moreover, the Second Herrscher was simply too powerful. A Herrscher of this level should not have appeared at such an early stage as the Second Honkai Impact.
In her memories, she had heard that in the Previous Era, the Second Herrscher had even been sniped from a long distance by a single shot from an experimental weapon that Elysia had stolen from Fire Moth.
After that, Elysia became the hero of Fire Moth and its top combat power for a very long time.
Compared to the Second Herrscher before her — who had integrated six Herrscher Authorities and used asteroids as projectiles — the difference was like heaven and earth.
Fu Hua did not doubt in the slightest that if this Second Herrscher wished it, humanity would probably never see the sun of the second day again — not just metaphorically, but physically as well.
Wasn't the Earth currently plunged into a nuclear winter that might last for a very long time? This was a stage that the Previous Era had only entered by the time of the Twelfth Herrscher.
"Don't leave. Remember to take my body with you." What Fu Hua could foresee was that after burning all her memories, she would definitely fall into an unprecedented state of weakness. If she failed to completely kill the Second Herrscher, she would still need Otto to ensure her safety.
"Alright, alright." Otto silently positioned Fu Hua in front of him for protection. Fu Hua was, after all, his old friend of many years. He would definitely not disregard her safety.
With Otto as her backing, Fu Hua temporarily had no worries. It was just that she was an honest person and had never experienced the phrase "Red Kite Immortal, I did not lie." Otherwise, she most likely would not have entrusted her back to Otto again.
"Then I'll begin." With that, Fu Hua prepared to dispel the Fenghuang Down hypnosis. After all, a Divine Key could not maintain the illusion while simultaneously burning her memories.
"No need to go to that much trouble. I'm already awake!" A hand that materialized from Imaginary seized Fu Hua's wrist. In Sirin's eyes, which shone like molten gold, burned raging flames. That anger seemed endless and boundless, as if it wanted to burn the entire world to ashes!
Time rewound to not long ago, inside the environment created by Fenghuang Down. Sirin was still happily spending every day with her family.
Today, Sirin suggested going on a picnic with her family. Fortunately, Shun was not made of iron, so Sirin didn't need to avoid words like running or jumping in front of him. However, she still didn't make him act as a goalkeeper.
This environment was built on the foundation of Sirin's memories, so it was the Switzerland in Sirin's memory — or rather, the Switzerland from Shun's letters.
There were towering snow-capped mountains, lush green forests, lakes as blue as gemstones, and vast, boundless grasslands.
There was fresh and pleasant air, warm and gentle sunlight, winding mountain paths, and soft, fluffy grass.
Colorful wildflowers with pleasant fragrances surrounded them, and beside them was a lake as calm as a mirror. One could say this was Sirin's ideal home.
This was also the place Sirin dreamed of living together with her family. However, it could only be realized inside this illusion for now.
On a sunny afternoon, a gentle breeze brushed across the land. Sirin cheerfully held a colorful kite and hopped over to Shun, who was sitting in his wheelchair. She carefully tied the kite string to the armrest of Shun's wheelchair. After making sure it was secure, she revealed a sweet smile.
Then, Sirin turned and ran behind the wheelchair, gripping the handles tightly with both hands. She took a deep breath and began running forward with all her strength. As her steps grew faster and faster, the wheelchair moved forward rapidly like a speeding little car. The wind whistled past their ears, and the kite danced in the air.
Not far away on the grass, Dalia stood quietly, her face filled with a gentle, kind smile. Her tender gaze remained fixed on the two children playing happily, full of love and relief.
"Second Herrscher, I must stop you!" At this moment, an untimely voice rang out. A man with brown hair wearing a trench coat had somehow intruded into the peaceful life of the family of three.
It was Welt Yang. Although the Core of Reason had been absorbed by Sirin, he had been waiting for an opportunity. Now that Sirin was trapped in the illusion, as long as he eliminated her here, the humans outside would no longer be threatened by the Second Herrscher.
As someone who had been defeated by Sirin in just a few exchanges, no one understood the Second Herrscher's power better than Welt Yang.
The moment Welt saw Sirin, he unleashed the Zero Rated Power of the Star of Eden imitation. The snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes, and grasslands that Sirin cared about were all torn apart and reduced to nothingness by gravity.
This illusory space could not withstand the full firepower of the Star of Eden. Fortunately, Sirin hurriedly raised a protective shield, preventing the two people she cared about most from suffering the same fate.
"The living you were nothing but my defeated opponent. The dead you are even less worthy!" Sirin's eyes narrowed. The Herrscher outfit covered the light purple dress on her body as her hands moved rapidly. A powerful and terrifying aura radiated from her. Without hesitation, she unleashed all the Authorities she possessed at once! For a moment, various strange energy lights intertwined, forming a gorgeous yet heart-palpitating scene.
Welt had almost no ability to resist. His consciousness was once again suppressed. Originally, Sirin hadn't even needed to put much effort into defeating him. After dying, he was like rootless duckweed and could not stir up any waves.
Although she had killed Welt once again, it was obvious that this illusory space was on the verge of collapse. Coincidentally, because the illusion was about to collapse, sounds from the outside world also came through.
This was a sign that her body was about to awaken. Human hearing was often the first sense to wake up.
This made Sirin lose even the thought of holding her family and waiting to die in this space that had already turned into nothingness.
Feeling her family gently pushing her away, Sirin trembled as she shouted.
"No, I don't want you to leave me…" But no matter how Sirin tried to hold on, the two figures whose bodies were becoming increasingly illusory could not be kept.
"Sirin, it's time for the dream to end." The next moment, the illusion shattered like glass, and Sirin returned once again to the reality she had no attachment to.
With a "pa" sound, she grabbed Fu Hua's wrist.
"Humans, you have made me lose everything again!"
