And this moment.
Under the trembling gazes of countless extraordinary individuals.
in the picture.
Otto's faltering steps trod across the crimson desert.
It's clearly not an ordinary desert.
But the faint rustling and wind sounds remained the only noises.
Besides.
All that remained was Otto's weak, labored breathing.
It sounded like a soft murmur.
It was as if he was summarizing his life.
At this moment, both on and off the screen, there is utter silence.
Otto spoke slowly.
"Life... is truly a fragile thing..."
"When I was little, my older sister died in battle..."
They told me that his soul is immortal.
"...Her spirit will ascend to heaven."
"Ah"
"Generation after generation, humanity has always been happy to deceive itself with such lies..."
"Believe in the so-called afterlife, believe in the eternity of consciousness."
"They pretend that death doesn't exist..."
"Until death suddenly invaded their lives and befell their loved ones!"
"Even at times like this... they'll go to extreme lengths to deceive themselves—"
"I believe that love can transcend all things, and I firmly believe that affection can last forever."
"Ah"
Otto's soft laughter was filled with sarcasm and a hint of self-deprecation.
It was as if they were expressing contempt for such ignorance.
They also laugh at their childhood self for believing these claims.
And outside the screen.
They maintained that silence, a silence so profound that even their breathing was deliberately suppressed.
They will not forget Otto's misdeeds.
But he defeated the gods with the body of a mortal.
With a burning passion, they accomplished this pioneering act of human exploration.
Otto Apocalypse deserves their respect.
And Otto's farewell performance.
Every word.
It deserves everyone's careful attention.
Ningguang: Otto... so you've been exposed to death since childhood...?
Silver Wolf: My sister died on the battlefield....
[Furina: This must have been a huge psychological blow to young Otto too...]
[March 7th: Although it might be a bit offensive to say this..., given Otto's personality, he probably wouldn't be particularly... attentive to his family, right?]
Rita: No, quite the opposite.
Rita: I think it's precisely because His Holiness the Bishop lacked familial love that he values the Saintess so highly.
[Tesla: How can you be so sure? Maybe Otto was just naturally...cold-hearted.]
[Rita: The bishop's sister who died in battle... her name was Bianca.]
Kiana: Wait... Bianca?!
[Jean: Ms. Bianca?!]
Durandal:
Kiana: You mean... Otto has always kept this name...
[Fireworks: Hahaha, I can foresee that Otto's inner world is probably as barren as this desert, right?]
[Furina: Indeed... when faced with death... people often like to deceive themselves with all sorts of lies.]
[Kafka: But for a clever man like Otto, he doesn't accept falsehood.]
And just as Kafka said.
Otto does not accept false deception.
What he asked for.
It's true.
It is the reality that the saint still exists in the present moment.
Asking for flowers
"Indeed...love...and even broader emotions, can bring about miracles..."
"But the creators of miracles can only be those who are still alive at that moment."
"As an ordinary person who was once deceived by them"
"I have also fantasized that the human soul exists in a higher dimension."
"I dream of one day, my beloved."
"She can return to the world with a new body and live a better future..."
"pity."
"That's not how the world works."
In a pure white space.
Karen watched all of this, listened to all of this.
He was incredibly serious, yet incredibly silent.
Even though my vision was constantly blurred by tears.
But Karen still wanted to see things clearly.
Everyone, even the will to collapse, knew this perfectly well.
He even listened to Otto's final demands more than once.
And this journey, filled with countless twists and turns, has come to an end.
Otto is about to arrive.
Will he experience a sense of ease and liberation he hasn't felt in five hundred years...?
Karen wanted to know, and she had to know.
[Keqing: Kallen's death was tantamount to the collapse of Otto's entire world...]
[Ayaka Kamisato: Those days at the monastery were perhaps the last time Otto harbored any illusions.]
[Ayaka Kamisato: And after leading the rebel army to overthrow the old destiny, as Kallen's spirit and name spread far and wide.]
[Ayaka Kamisato: Perhaps Otto is the one who truly suffers from Kallen's departure.]
[Frinina: The rules of the world... are not like that...]
[Furina: Death may truly mean the end of everything...]
[Kurum: In Otto's world... death must be a truly terrifying thing...]
[March 7th: If only the soul could truly exist in a higher dimension after death...]
[Himeko Hoshino: I'm afraid that no amount of comfort or lies will ultimately transform into a deeper obsession for Otto...]
[Golden Goblet: Rather than indulging in beautiful fantasies, it's better to hold the chips for winning your destiny in your own hands.]
[Gold dust: What Otto did... deserves the admiration of so many.]
Rita: Your Excellency, you have indeed accomplished something worthy of the admiration of countless people...
Tesla:
[Ningguang: This principle has been deeply ingrained in Otto's heart for over five hundred years...]
[Lei Movie: But he didn't accept his fate; he's a strong man, worthy of my respect.]
[Su Chang: If fate truly exists in this world, then Otto's fate is to conquer this world?]
In the discussion room of text.
Everyone remained silent.
Otto's tone remained gentle.
In just a few short steps, life has already been reviewed.
The past he could least accept, yet it kept repeating itself.
"Death is indeed the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything—"
"We cannot continue the starlight that has already faded away."
"unless"
"We reversed time."
"To awaken the silent island of graves;"
"Let the evergreen water of life flow back into the past that buried everything."
"The path of division will unfold there once again."
"The choice between life and death will henceforth create two worlds."
"And the price is nothing more than one person's death and personal destruction."
"And the [Honkai] that originally wanted to kill us."
Chapter 130 Thus Apocalypse Speaks! [Theresa, my dear granddaughter...]
"Unless we reverse time."
"Awaken the silent island of graves; let the evergreen waters of life flow anew into the past that buried everything."
"The path of division will unfold there once again."
"The choice between life and death will henceforth create two worlds."
"And the price is nothing more than one person's death and personal destruction."
"And the [Honkai] that originally wanted to kill us."
[Paimon: What two-thirds, three-thirds... Paimon doesn't understand! Humph!]
[Ying: You eat your food!]
[Silver Wolf: Such an artistic and philosophical statement.]
[Furina: Karen's departure has indeed made it...very difficult for Otto to move on from his own world.]
[Furina: So much so that after so many years of contemplation, Otto seems to have grasped the essence of philosophy...]
[Himeko Hoshino: Back when Otto wrote the letter to the first Herrscher of Reason, still calling himself Alpha the Clown...]
