"Fool, tell me your origins."
A voice hoarse from a man in black robes obscured his face by thick darkness.
"I want to cooperate with you."
"Regarding the burning of humanity."
A blond, blue-eyed man stood before the man in black robes, his handsome face always bearing a calm and composed smile.
The man in black robes didn't ask the man where he learned about the Human Order Burning Method. After a brief silence, he said to him,
"Reason?"
The Fool smiled and said to the man in black robes,
"Someone promised a possibility."
"A possibility that allows her to live in the past."
"I have no reason to refuse."
"So I came here."
The man in black robes continued,
"What can you bring?"
The Fool spread his arms, blocking the sunlight, and said confidently and wildly,
"A country."
"A church."
"A turmoil!"
"An attack powerful enough to shake the rules!"
The man in black robes was silent for a moment before saying,
"Very well."
...…
In the year 21550 of the Douluo Calendar, the Sun Moon Empire, or rather the Sun Moon Federation, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, launched an unprecedented war.
The highest leader of the Sun Moon Federation and the Church of Destiny—Otto Apocalypse—declared war on the entire continent. The following is his declaration of war.
"Friends."
My name is Otto Apocalypse, and many of you know me. "
Today, I want to announce something, something that may be relevant to everyone."
"I, Otto, will ascend to Heaven at the Mingdu Altar with fourteen coded phrases! "
"At that time, I will restart the entire world!"
"History will begin anew! Everything in this timeline will become a trivial footnote to fate."
"And the way to stop all of this is to find me and kill me."
"Starting from this moment, I declare the war over!"
A madman named Otto initiated the war, a war that swept across all living beings, humans and soul beasts alike. In
Douluo Calendar 20551, the Heavenly Soul Republic was destroyed, and the Heavenly Dou Plain resisted, centered on Shrek City. In Douluo Calendar 20552,
the Star Luo Empire fell, and the Sun Moon Federation spread the flames of war from the Ice Sea to the South China Sea.
At this time:
"Bones are exposed in the wilderness, and for a thousand miles there is no sound of roosters crowing."
"On the road, there are hungry women, and abandoned children walk among the grass."
In Douluo Calendar 20553, soul beasts entered the fray, and the Silver Dragon King was born, cooperating with the Sea God Pavilion Master, sweeping away the army with divine power.
The Sun Moon Federation's front line was pushed back.
In Douluo Calendar 20555, only Mingdu remained of the Sun Moon Federation.
At this moment, at the Mingdu Altar, a young man with white hair and blue eyes, wielding a greatsword, stood before Otto.
"Otto!"
"Stop your actions!"
"The cries of billions of lives, and the burning rage in my chest, Otto, I will bring you destruction!"
Otto looked at the white-haired man with interest, smiling as he said,
"Oh?"
"Savior?"
"You've finally come."
"Look, this is the destined savior!"
"How laughable!!"
Otto spread his arms, his voice echoing across the empty altar.
"Unfortunately, savior, you're too late."
"The stage is set, and the protagonist is ready."
Otto smiled at the man before him, holding a golden cube in his hand.
"The structure resembles the Oath of Judah."
A giant golden cross appeared to Otto's right.
"Unfurl, Divine Grace Barrier!"
The golden barrier, centered on Otto, engulfed the entire sky and earth. Bai E's fiery eyes narrowed.
He felt his power weakening!
Countless golden chains spread from the golden sky!
The golden chains pierced the air, hurtling towards Bai E with a piercing buzzing sound.
Bai E knew that if he were controlled by those chains, things would be dire.
"Clang!"
The greatsword named Dawn swung rapidly, slashing at the surrounding golden chains, producing a crisp sound.
Golden flames ignited on Bai E's body, transforming him into a streak of light as he swiftly dodged the golden chains in the sky.
"No!"
"Too many!"
Bai E's eyes narrowed, igniting the destructive fire hidden within him!
"I am the rising sun!!"
All the air currents stilled for a moment, then surged wildly into the center of the battlefield, where a sun that had fallen to the earth was burning fiercely, its intense light and heat incinerating all the golden chains.
Otto stood there, letting the light and heat scorch his skin, his white suit ignited by sparks, until his body was completely burned away, he did not move.
The central sun dissipated, and a figure both sacred and majestic appeared on the scorched earth.
Two wings, one gold and one purple-black, radiated a destructive glow, and golden eyes were filled with divinity and majesty.
"Hahaha!!"
"What a beautiful posture! That person from before certainly gave you a lot!" At
the other end of the battlefield, a completely new Otto clapped his hands, praising Bai Er's new posture.
"Otto..."
Bai Er stood in the sky, and with a wave of his hand, a huge golden and silver greatsword tore through the earth, engulfing Otto's entire figure with its world-destroying power.
The dust settled, leaving a scar as deep as an abyss on the earth.
"Useless, savior."
"For this day, I have used the power of my nation to create thousands of bodies."
"Stay here with me for a while."
Before Otto could finish speaking, a meteorite fell from the sky, its immense kinetic energy tearing away all sound.
"Cough, such a furious posture, such destructive power, yet you want to be a savior."
"Pathetic and laughable."
"A savior can be of humble origin, can be penniless, can be frail, but is never destined!"
"With fate by your throat, you are nothing but a prisoner."
"And I will give this world new life!"
Otto spread his arms, his face filled with fanaticism, until his head was severed by a sharp sword.
"Otto!"
"What exactly do you want?!"
This time, it wasn't just one body appearing before Bai E, but thousands of figures appearing together.
Each Otto held a different Divine Key in his hand, and they all sneered.
"Isn't the answer obvious?"
"Ascending to the throne of God above all things, ruling with supreme divinity and omnipotence, this world is already beyond saving."
"I want to bring someone the salvation she deserves, so I will ascend to Heaven!"
"To reverse this rotten, stinking world, and to infuse it with new, evergreen waters."
"Look, who does this world truly support?!"
The bright sun pierced the smoke of battle. Bai E looked up at the sky, where crystal staircases descended, landing before Otto.
"The secret message is known."
"Savior, time must be accelerated."
