At this moment,
time itself seemed to slow to a crawl.
All viewers watched the screen in silence,
holding their breath,
their hearts unconsciously tightening for Otto.
They had witnessed everything—
every calculation,
every pursuit,
every plan laid and discarded.
Now, at last, he was about to reach the end.
And yet—
Just this one final step remained.
Everyone was waiting for Otto
to finish walking it.
On-screen,
Otto's lips parted slightly,
a faint sound caught in his throat.
At this instant,
even his thoughts seemed to freeze.
The radiance of the Imaginary Tree washed over his face—
dreamlike, unreal.
And in that hazy glow,
a figure appeared before him.
A slender silhouette dressed in a nun's habit.
Bathed in gentle light,
she turned lightly and smiled.
A smile blooming like a flower—
beautiful enough to pierce the soul.
And that smile—
Was the most deeply engraved,
the most precious thing
within Otto's very soul.
In this instant—
Otto's soul trembled.
In this instant—
he suddenly raised his head.
Within those emerald-green eyes,
burned an obsession so fierce
that even the collapse of the world could not extinguish it.
"Once a soul has scattered,
it can never be resurrected."
With a soft sigh from the depths of his heart,
Otto clenched his teeth and swallowed the metallic taste in his mouth.
He gathered his consciousness.
And before him,
a radiant, rule-bound hexagonal prism slowly manifested.
It bore no ornate beauty,
no ancient or intricate carvings.
Yet in its utmost simplicity,
it embodied the truth of the world itself—
as though one could hear Buddhist chants,
the resonance of bodhi wisdom,
by simply standing near it in silence.
The First Divine Key · The Key of Revelation
Void Archives.
Born in the Previous Era,
containing nearly all the knowledge and records of that lost civilization.
Capable of, within limits,
replicating any object the user could comprehend—
a creation closest to omniscience and omnipotence,
akin to the authority of a god.
And now—
The old friend
who had accompanied Otto
to this final step.
"The world allows consciousness to be matched to a new vessel,
but it does not allow a vessel to gather a scattered soul."
As Otto calmly spoke this cruel truth—
Before the deeply moved gaze of countless viewers—
He endured excruciating pain
and forcibly tore his left hand free
from the stone-like tendril piercing his forearm!
He ripped it out—
blood spraying everywhere!
Pain so intense it made one's spine run cold—
Yet Otto seemed utterly unfazed.
He extended his left hand—
And firmly grasped Void Archives.
BOOM—!!!
In that instant—
Every heart watching trembled violently.
A silent, overwhelming detonation surged forth.
The entire scene was dyed in brilliant gold!
The moment Otto grasped Void Archives,
a vast torrent of energy erupted behind him out of nothingness—
Soundless and absolute.
The monster was swallowed whole,
instantly erased without a trace.

On-screen—
Under the tense, fervent gazes of all viewers—
Otto casually released Void Archives.
The golden cube fell into the crimson desert.
Gripping the flaming greatsword,
the man trudged toward the Imaginary Tree.
One step at a time.
Never looking back.
"To save the one and only her…"
The whisper in his heart continued,
echoing in everyone's ears.
"I can only create new possibilities…
in the past."
At this point,
this was no longer just Otto's obsession.
It had infected everyone watching.
This was the miracle
that all of them wanted to witness—
The miracle they wanted Otto to complete.
As the whisper faded,
the man placed his hand upon the luminous barrier covering the Imaginary Tree.
The next instant—
The Imaginary Tree seemed to awaken,
gently swaying as its light flowed.
As if responding to him in resonance,
new branches began to grow and extend from its trunk.
The threads of fate stretched once more,
evolving into new possibilities, new futures.
"Ah… this other future…"
Looking at the scene before him,
the man's lips curved into a faint smile—
pure, gentle,
like a child returned to innocence.
"This…
will be a spacetime that belongs to her."
As always—thank you, dear readers. Much love.
