Blessing of Honkai: 100% affinity with Honkai energy.
A blessing Koji casually picked out imdiately caused the Cocoon of Finality to resonate.
"The Herrscher of Finality? I'm not a suitable candidate."
Koji shook his head. Right now, as long as he gave even the slightest nod, he would beco the Herrscher of Finality.
The blessing would allow him to bear the power of Finality effortlessly, without causing any negative effects to his body.
However, he did not need the power of the Herrscher of Finality.
The Cocoon of Finality fell silent.
If soone with 100% affinity still was not a suitable candidate, then everyone else was even less suitable.
Forget it. Since Koji had no intention of doing it, that embrace could be left for soone else.
It knew Koji was not from this world and would definitely leave eventually. In that regard, he really was not that suitable.
"What's wrong?"
Lumine rubbed against Koji's chest and found a comfortable position.
"Nothing. Just now…"
"The Herrscher of Finality, huh? I wonder how strong it actually is," Lumine said curiously.
"Strength is one thing. What makes the Herrscher of Finality troubleso is its HP bar," Koji said.
Ordinary Herrschers could be killed, but the Herrscher of Finality was like an existence that had reached another level. Even Kevin, who was strong enough to effortlessly one-shot Herrschers, could not kill Finality.
Of course, the Honkai of this world was far gentler than the Honkai from GGZ.
"Compared to Tiamat, who has the thicker HP bar?"
"There's no need to compare them like that. They've never fought either."
Whether it was the Herrscher of Finality or Tiamat, both were extrely hard to kill.
If they really fought, Earth would definitely explode.
"Koji, why do I feel like this world has more girls?" Eula asked.
"That? This is a world that isn't very friendly to n," Koji said after thinking for a mont.
Perhaps it had sothing to do with the Previous Era. After all, not many n could adapt to stigmata, while girls were more likely to awaken stigmata.
After awakening stigmata, their resistance to Honkai energy would also increase.
Very few won could awaken natural stigmata, but the number of n who could awaken stigmata was even smaller. There were only a tiny handful. It could be said they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Siegfried was strong, but even he had not truly awakened the Kaslana stigmata.

At Schicksal Headquarters, Otto told Kallen everything he had done.
Kallen was indeed very angry. What Otto told her was definitely more detailed than what Koji had explained.
After listening, Kallen felt that Otto's thods were far too inhuman.
"That First Herrscher was clearly on humanity's side. Why did you target him?" Kallen asked.
"Joyce, you an. I thought very highly of him. He was capable, and he was very suited to becoming my successor. But as for his personality… he and I were not the sa kind of person," Otto said with emotion.
Although he did want to research the Herrscher of Reason, he truly did admire Joyce. He was a rare talent.
Unfortunately, soone with that kind of personality was destined to never beco his pawn. For such a person to possess the power of a Herrscher made him a bomb with hidden risks.
"So that's why you persecuted the second Herrscher of Reason?" Kallen held her head. What an honest answer.
"That wasn't exactly it. I was too lazy to bother with Anti-Entropy. After all, Anti-Entropy was optional to ."
"Anti-Entropy has been opposing Schicksal all this ti."
"Although I killed the first Herrscher of Reason, they still had . I could absolutely have beco their leader…"
Bang!
Kallen could not listen anymore and punched Otto directly in the face.
Listen to him. Were those even words a human being should say?
Five hundred years had passed. Had Otto's language beco this aggressive?
After hitting Otto, Kallen covered her hand. His face clearly looked like that of a normal person, but hitting it felt like punching steel.
"Sorry, Kallen. What I said was a little too much. Is your hand all right?" Otto apologized.
He was completely unhard. He was currently using a Soulium body. That material could even be used to make Divine Keys and withstand the power of Herrscher cores.
"I'm fine. Great Inventor, your skin really is thick," Kallen said helplessly.
"This is a Soulium body. I use it to transfer my consciousness, which is how I have survived until now," Otto said.
Soulium bodies were very convenient. If one was damaged, he could simply replace it with a new one. There was no need to worry about being assassinated.
The only ones who could truly affect his consciousness were the Herrschers who ca later: the Herrscher of Sentience, the Herrscher of Binding, the Herrscher of Corruption…
"Then what about your body?" Kallen fell silent for a mont before slowly asking.
"My original body is inside a cryosleep chamber. It can avoid decay and aging," Otto said.
In the entire world, other than him, no one knew where his true body was. That was also why those who wanted to assassinate him had no way to do so.
"Don't you get tired?"
Hearing that, Otto shook his head. As long as he had a goal, he would not feel tired. All he had to do was keep moving in that direction.
What he could not accept most was achieving nothing. When he thought that he might never see Kallen again, how could he possibly feel tired?
"Kallen, my final goal was actually to create a world where you could exist forever."
"Then what about you?"
Kallen's heart trembled. She had already faintly guessed what Otto would do, and her fair hand slowly clenched.
"I would take the vileness into the grave with , while the light would reach toward the future because of you."
"There would only be the sacrifice of a selfish person."
Otto spoke slowly, his eyes naturally dull and lightless.
"Then what about little Theresa?"
Kallen sighed softly. It was roughly what she had guessed.
"There are many people by little Theresa's side who will support her, so there's no need to worry," Otto said with a faint smile.
However, the magic known as his cooking would disappear, and Theresa would have to shoulder the heavy burden of being Overseer.
Although Theresa did not have thods as ruthless as his, she did indeed have the capacity to bear that burden.
Barring any accidents, the Herrscher of Finality would be soone on Theresa's side. Even without him suppressing things, those people would not make any major moves against Schicksal.
As long as Theresa did not ruin Schicksal completely, a split was not very likely.
Fu Hua and the others would all stand on Theresa's side. This was the path he had paved for Theresa.
"That's true. Great Inventor, since you're so smart, you must have arranged everything properly," Kallen said.
"But she'll be sad. No matter how many wrong things you've done, in her heart, you're still that existence like a wind chi."
Otto fell silent and did not deny it.
With him around, Theresa only needed to remain a child. Toward Theresa, he truly did have familial affection.
"But it's about ti I retired too. It's been more than five hundred years," Otto said with a shrug.
Kallen could not help laughing softly. She had almost forgotten that Otto was already over five hundred years old.
