It's true, the pot calling the kettle black, so neither of them should criticize the other in this regard.
However, Nagamitsu cannot be completely blamed for being in that state.
Her own god seemed to have been manipulating the sword in rather extravagant and flashy ways just a moment ago.
Regardless, Otto said she was a complete novice and couldn't understand it at all.
"It is probably something like a dimensional cut," Tian Shi commented.
The abilities granted by possession are quite suitable for weapons like swords.
"Very well, Miss Nagamitsu, regain your composure," Tian Shi made the longsword vibrate.
"Hehehe..."
"Hey Otto, wouldn't you say she is hugging a god?"
Kallen tilted her head and discovered the blind spot.
Otto: "..."
Now that you mention it... it seems to be true!
"What on earth?! I've been with the God for over a year and I haven't even hugged him"
"How is it possible that a foreign blacksmith like you hugs him so naturally?"
"You're even salivating!"
"That is incredibly disrespectful!"
"Miss Nagamitsu—!!!"
Otto grabbed Nagamitsu's ear and shouted into it with a voice she had never used before.
"Waaaaah! Are you trying to scare me to death, Miss Otto?"
Nagamitsu woke up with a start and almost jumped in fright.
"Ugh... Miss Nagamitsu, would you like to wipe away your drool? How disrespectful!"
Otto cleared her throat and retorted firmly.
"Uh..."
Nagamitsu wiped her mouth, immediately revealing an expression of shame and guilt.
"Gods, please forgive me... please forgive me..."
"In that case, should we stay here as atonement?"
Tian Shi continued speaking, playing along with Nagamitsu.
"Furthermore, I can also provide you with some advanced weapon concepts... Come on, Void Archives, do it right"
Void Archives: "..."
Before her father's voice, Void Archives could only reluctantly emerge from Otto's body.
She transformed into a screen to show Nagamitsu a future battlefield filled with the smoke of gunpowder.
Sure enough, the weapons firing sparks in the image immediately caught Nagamitsu's attention.
"Is this... a musket? A musket from the future?"
Nagamitsu looked surprised; she remains a very competent weapon maker and only manufactures genuine pieces.
It wasn't until ten years later, when Kallen arrived in the Far East, that Nagamitsu's artistic style became less serious.
Seeing her surprise, Void Archives didn't even need Tian Shi to say anything.
Sensibly, she created a scene of a woman with indistinct white hair wielding a large flaming sword descending from the sky.
"Um... this seems to be my house..." Kallen looked at the photo, a bit unsure.
"Is my family's Judgment of Shamash really that powerful?"
She didn't quite believe it.
Nagamitsu's eyes were now shining.
"That great sword... could that great sword really have been made by a human?"
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Void Archives immediately shrank back into Otto's body.
"(...)"
Void Archives had no desire to have much interaction with Tian Shi, that old crank.
"It seems that reviewing the 'three no's' attitude from back then is actually quite good?"
"After all, I can't always act so distant"
"I'm sorry, I still have to return"
Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a moment, Nagamitsu still had no intention of changing her mind.
"The path you showed me is very tempting, but... this is not what I need"
Nagamitsu spoke cautiously, afraid of displeasing Tian Shi.
Although she respects the gods, Nagamitsu would never do something like abandon her principles for the sake of the gods.
"There really is no way to get monster corpses here"
"I know Miss Kallen's father, Mr. Francis, because I met him by chance when buying monster parts before, and he did not approve"
Nagamitsu felt somewhat helpless.
To be honest, as long as you provide her with enough materials, she doesn't care where she goes.
If it weren't for the fact that she was preparing to earn travel expenses these last two days, she would spend her days forging iron and sleeping.
A cycle that others might find tedious, but that she could still enjoy.
But the problem is that she really had no materials.
Not even Francis, a pillar in the fight against the Honkai Beasts, supports her.
What can she do? Pack her things and run.
"Hmm... in that sense there should be no problem now"
Tian Shi thought for a moment and then said.
Now that Francis is paving the way for Kallen, things will no longer be so airtight.
"And just yesterday, Francis personally defeated a Honkai Emperor"
"In your words, the strongest monster in the human world right now"
In these days, apart from Chi You from the legends of China, there are no other beings that have reached the top.
That is, Honkai Beasts of Emperor level or higher.
This is the iron rule these days.
After all, Chi You was caused by the forced growth of Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan.
In other words, the names Niugui and Huodou that Nagamitsu speaks of may sound impressive, but essentially they are all low-level Honkai Beasts.
The Honkai Emperor is the highest-ranking lower-level Honkai Beast.
If they are demon beasts, then the Honkai Emperor is a demon king.
In this era where no Judgement-level appears, a Honkai Emperor is enough to suppress an era.
"Is it really possible to do this?"
Nagamitsu was somewhat excited.
"The strongest monster in the human world... This kind of description sounds incredibly amazing, doesn't it?"
It should be noted that before this, Nagamitsu's goal in life was to forge an ultimate sword using the strongest demon beast.
Nagamitsu now feels that her career has been completely fulfilling: she witnessed the birth of the divine sword!
This is something that deserves to be recorded in history... it is a myth!
"(Tsk, this old man really knows how to deceive people, it's just a low-level Honkai Beast...)"
"(Should I transmit this message?)"
Otto said coldly to Void Archives in her mind.
"I have detested you for a long time, and now you dare to speak ill of God so directly? You have gone too far!"
Void Archives: "..."
Although this is the kind of development she wants to see, she still feels that she cannot get along with a fanatic.
...
"The body parts of the Honkai Emperor..."
Back at the Kaslana house, Francis actually showed a thoughtful expression at Nagamitsu's request and Kallen's support.
"Is just a little bit enough?"
"That's right, just a bit of shell… or even dust will do"
Nagamitsu adopted a very humble stance.
Although Nagamitsu wanted to pick some important parts herself, she knew she was asking a favor.
She wasn't buying something at a butcher shop, and therefore had no right to be picky.
"Just a little bit... that's easy"
Francis nodded.
"After all, this Honkai Emperor will be sent to a special place"
Francis's slip of the tongue made Otto raise an eyebrow slightly, but she immediately took it for granted.
"(So, my family has also researched this...)"
This is not entirely unexpected, given that the Schariac family has gradually become a pillar.
Kaslana handles combat and the Apocalypse family naturally takes over research and logistics.
In a sense, the transmission of wisdom from Void Archives is truly timely.
"Honkai... does the Honkai even have scientific disciplines?"
Otto was left thinking, but then smiled again.
Of course it exists.
The attitude of Void Archives and God's understanding of it confirm it.
This is actually quite intriguing.
Francis looked at Otto, who was deep in thought, and then continued:
"But speaking of which, Kallen, you are already fourteen years old..."
"?"
Kallen tilted her head, revealing a blank and adorable expression.
"..."
Francis looked at his daughter's dazed expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, being a middle-aged man, they generally have a strong capacity for self-regulation.
After a pause, Francis continued:
"It is time for you to reach the age of reason"
"Furthermore, you are the future head of the Kaslana family... Here is the key"
"Go take a look at our family shrine"
"By the way, sometimes things that don't look good are not necessarily bad"
Nagamitsu was a bit surprised.
"Is this silly girl actually the future head of the Kaslana family?"
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
"A shrine?"
Kallen thought for a moment, and finally remembered that she did have such a place at home.
"Just open the door? And what's wrong with that...?"
"..."
Francis's lips twitched slightly.
Now he seriously doubted that his daughter had the awareness to accept the inheritance of the head of the family!
"Yes, just open the door"
Francis sighed:
"As for how much you can learn, that depends on you"
That is the true Kaslana.
"Oh..."
Kallen nodded, apparently still not understanding.
...
"Is this what they call the 'teachings of the wise master'?"
Once outside, even Otto couldn't help but say something difficult to bear.
She simply couldn't stand Kallen's dazed expression anymore.
"Ah... do we have to study?" Kallen frowned belatedly.
"..."
"Kaslana has her own way of being silly, you'll get used to it"
Tian Shi comforted her.
"At least Kallen is not capricious at all"
It's true.
Although Kallen caused her troubles, she was considered quite polite as a child.
Or to put it more directly, Kallen is not arrogant.
Otto: "..."
"Deity, why are you so skilled at this?"
Faced with multiple inevitable circumstances, Otto silently accompanied Kallen to the Kaslana family shrine.
Yes, as expected, it seems to be completely neglected.
In fact, nowadays the three main families don't actually believe in God, do they?
Otherwise...
Otto looked at Nagamitsu, who was watching her expectantly.
"This lady seems quite devoted... It would have been even better if she hadn't been drooling over the gods"
"Cough, cough... How many years has this place been abandoned?!"
Kallen coughed as she choked on the dust that rose up.
"Why did Dad bring me here?"
"On the platform"
Otto reminded her gently.
Given Kaslana's intelligence, she definitely wouldn't hide things very well.
Otto thought that if she were the ancestor of the Kaslana family, she would place the inheritance in the most visible place, like the altar.
If there was no altar, Otto thought she shouldn't bother looking for it and just go back to sleep.
"On the platform?"
Kallen nodded, trusting Otto, and walked toward the altar.
At that moment, a surprised voice was heard.
"Hey! It has a pattern! Does it look like the Holy Stigma of my house?"
Although the entire shrine was covered in dust, the dust on the platform was noticeably finer.
Then Kallen instinctively reached out to wipe it.
However, the moment her hand touched the surface, a sudden light shone from the platform.
Kallen felt a surge of dizziness.
"Please choose one of the following three dishes"
"...?"
Kallen opened her eyes in a daze, only to find herself outside the shrine, in a square.
"Where is this? Where is my house?"
"Please choose one of the following three dishes"
"What?"
The voice from above made Kallen look up involuntarily.
"Who are you? Where is this? Are you the wise master of our family?"
"Please choose one of the following three dishes"
"..."
That voice seemed even more dazed than she was.
Helpless, Kallen looked down at the so-called three dishes.
The first was a piece of black dough.
Just by looking at it, Kallen felt as if she smelled something incredibly unpleasant.
There seemed to be something like squirming tentacles inside that pile of excrement.
There is a sign above that says "Dr. MEI".
"What is this? Is it definitely edible?"
"Next!"
The next one is a piece of yellow-green dough.
Kallen: "..."
Curiously, Kallen could perceive a fragrance.
"No, it makes me feel even more nauseous."
The sign above says "Mobius".
The last portion... a simple bowl of noodles?
"Please select"
"What is there to choose? Of course I would choose the noodles!"
"What kind of monsters are those two things in front of me?!"
Kallen immediately took the noodles and started eating them.
The scene around Kallen changed again in the next moment.
"Looking back now... the time I spent with my master was probably the happiest moment of my life"
A soft sigh reached Kallen's ears.
At the same time, Kallen saw two figures, one large and one small, appear in front of her.
The elder is handsome and wise, while the younger is lively and witty.
"I only learned of the master's true appearance from the photo my older sister gave me"
"Honestly... I also want a Soul Steel doll of the master"
