Honkai impact 3rd: I Use Everything of Yours to Love Me

The Void Archives had always been puzzled as to why this guy harbored such malice toward it.

After all, there was no history of conflict between them.

"Hey, blondie over there, stretch out your hand. I need to record your information. After that, you can freely access the knowledge inside and understand my true purpose."

The Void Archives called out to Otto.

Hearing this, Otto immediately walked over and placed his hand on it.

The Void Archives flickered, and Otto received the transmitted information.

"Alright, now that you've gained its recognition, what you do next is up to you. Good luck."

Chang Yuan patted Otto on the shoulder as a gesture of encouragement, then turned and left.

Not long after, the Apocalypse family members rushed into the area.

Leading them was Nicholas, Otto's despised father.

"Otto, I heard you and an outsider broke into the Apocalypse family's forbidden grounds. Do you know the consequences of such actions?"

Nicholas spoke in a threatening tone as he looked at his son.

Otto didn't turn around, continuing to hold the Void Archives in his hand.

Only after understanding some of its basic functions did Otto finally turn to face the crowd.

"Father, I have gained the recognition of the sacred relic. Who do you think should inherit the position of the next head of the Apocalypse family?"

Playing with the Void Archives in his hand, Otto faced his father with a calmness far beyond his years.

Nicholas, as if seeing his child for the first time, frowned.

"If you've gained the relic's recognition, the position of the next family head is undoubtedly yours. However, you brought an outsider here, which is a crime. Therefore, I have the right to punish you.

Unless you can make an equivalent contribution to offset the punishment, the position of the next family head may not necessarily be yours."

"...Are you forcing me, Father?"

Instead of answering directly, Otto stared straight at Nicholas.

His sharp gaze made even the seasoned Nicholas take a few steps back.

But this was quickly followed by anger.

"What kind of answer is that? What kind of look is that? I am your father and the family head. Everything I do is for the benefit of the family. You are a part of this family. Isn't it your duty to contribute to it?"

"...Of course, no problem, Father."

Otto lowered his head slightly and placed his right hand over his chest in a gesture of submission.

To everyone present, it seemed as though Otto had completely yielded to Nicholas.

However, no one noticed the fleeting look of ferocity in Otto's eyes.

Otto had realized one thing: as long as the Apocalypse family was infested with parasites and selfish individuals, Kallen would never be safe.

So, Otto devised a plan—a plan to quietly eliminate all the parasites within the Apocalypse family.

This included his siblings and his father.

A few days later...

"Teacher, Otto hasn't come to train for days. Did he give up halfway?"

After finishing her 500-pound push-ups, Kallen sat down to rest.

During her break, she inquired about Otto's whereabouts.

"Him? He's busy with some research. It might take him a few months to return. What's wrong? Missing your fiancé after just a few days?"

Elysia, seeing Kallen's worried expression, pinched her cheek teasingly.

Kallen's face turned red as she swatted Elysia's hand away. "Teacher, I'm being serious."

"So am I. He really does have research to do."

"Fine. That guy didn't even tell me about his experiments."

Kicking a rock into pieces, Kallen grumbled in frustration.

Elysia's mouth twitched at the complaint.

It wasn't that Otto didn't want to tell Kallen—it was that he couldn't.

If he had, Kallen would have been the first to stop him.

When Elysia first heard about Otto's experiment, she was shocked.

He was researching a virus that would only affect specific bloodlines.

Even without thinking too hard, she knew who it was targeting.

It was clear that her and Chang Yuan's presence had changed Otto significantly.

This time, Otto had a solid backing, which gave him the courage to do such things.

Without that support, Otto would have been purged by the others after completing his plan.

"Tch, so much has changed. The future is becoming even more uncertain. Whatever, it should be fine."

To be fair, Sirin could also have been the Herrscher of the End. In fact, she was originally the top candidate.

But after her fall, Kiana, created from her genes, took on that responsibility.

By crossing the Cocoon of Finality through the Herrscher of the End, all that was needed was for the Herrscher's vessel to retain humanity.

If Sirin were filled with love, everything would fall into place.

"But if that happens, what about Kiana..."

Chang Yuan fell into deep thought.

If Sirin were chosen as the Herrscher of the End, the white-haired goofball he knew would cease to exist.

"No, her birth must be inevitable. Forget it, that's still hundreds of years away. I'll think about it then."

Rubbing his head, Chang Yuan realized he really wasn't cut out for deep thinking.

A few months later...

"Heh, it's done."

"Hey, blondie, you have access to such vast knowledge, and you're using it to make this?"

The Void Archives was speechless.

I am the crystallization of the Previous Era's technological wisdom, and you're using me to research how to make a virus?

This is like using a nuke to kill a mosquito.

"If you want to progress in peace, you must first eliminate the parasites within, right?"

"...Kid, I respect your wisdom now."

Hearing such profound words from someone so young, the Void Archives truly acknowledged Otto—not out of coercion, but genuine respect.

With the virus in hand, Otto added it to the water supply.

The virus would only affect specific individuals. For others, it would cause nothing more than a mild cold, but for the targeted individuals, it would lead to severe illness or even death.

Moreover, the virus wouldn't spread and would die off within two weeks.

"Goodbye, Father. And goodbye to my former cowardice. The Apocalypse family will, under my leadership, march toward a brighter future and triumph over the Honkai."

After completing his task, Otto left the water source, his deeds hidden from the world.

Meanwhile, the Apocalypse family remained unaware of the impending purge.
