Genshin Impact Ratings Roundup: Otto, the Tree-Climbing Master?

Page 103

This sword strike is from the God of the Void!

Fu Hua actually blocked it with the sword heart fragment! She even overcame the obstacle of the shattered sword heart!

then.

Fu Hua even invited the astonished Li Sushang to a real duel between the Taixu Sword Sect, free from any external interference!

She got into position, one hand outstretched forward—an invitation, and a challenge.

"This is the greatest respect I, as Fu Hua, can give you in this competition."

Li Sushang suddenly let out a soft laugh, which sounded extremely inappropriate.

But there was no hint of contempt in it, only a fleeting sense of smugness that couldn't be concealed.

The person standing before her had appeared in many forms—a legendary figure who shook the martial arts world, a dejected and heartbroken wanderer...

But what she saw today was a completely different person.

"Wonderful! [Fu Hua], please!"

"please."

The sword is already in hand.

And in an instant!

Two figures from the Taixu Sword Sect crisscrossed the arena!

Sword light flashed everywhere!

There was no external interference, and no ultimate technique like the Sword God's sure-kill move.

There is only purity.

A contest of sword techniques!

at last!

After the final strike!

The sword energy surged to its end, as if flowing to a chasm, and then gradually dissipated.

The two sides held their breath in silence—the outcome was uncertain, even for themselves, until one of them spoke.

""

Fu Hua collapsed.

Despite Li Sushang's all-out effort, Fu Hua still held back.

In order to contribute as much as possible in the next operation to stop Otto.

Li Sushang, who saw through all this, sighed.

"Sigh... Actually... there's no such thing as winning or losing; the only one who wants to win is myself."

"Grandmaster, if you had thought more about yourself and about this very moment, the outcome might have been different."

No one responded.

"Grandmaster Chi Yuan?"

"He has already lost consciousness."

"I never expected to win. What's next? The Rakshasa didn't say anything... He's keeping it a secret. Doesn't that mean he didn't expect me to win either?!"

Li Sushang suddenly thought of something and muttered to herself.

then

After a moment of silence.

"What our grandmaster wanted to do, he finally accomplished."

The sword god shattered into pieces from its blade, draining the wielder of his last bit of strength.

She swayed slightly, barely managing to stay upright so that she didn't collapse to the ground.

Looking at the illusory sword in her hand that was gradually turning into nothingness, she then let out a bitter laugh.

"Those words truly came from my heart."

"Whether it's thinking more about your partners or thinking more about yourself, I still don't understand which makes you stronger. It's really hard to tell from just one exchange."

"Because of Grandmaster Chi Yuan, you... have indeed started anew."

As she spoke, the girl took a few steps back and leaned against the edge of the observation deck, gazing into the distance, trying to guess what the Rakshasa was doing at that moment.

After a while, she walked back to Fu Hua's side and picked him up in her arms.

"Let's find a safe place to rest first."

"Since that guy woke me up, he must have been very confident in what he was going to do."

"Who knows, we might just be going back to another era..."

“That would be somewhat unfamiliar to you now, Master…”

"I'll wait here for you to wake up... Being suddenly thrown into a time you know nothing about is not a pleasant experience. I've been there... Perhaps I can help you adjust."

"You and I have both done our best."

And watching the battle end on the screen.

The second split ended with Fu Hua holding off Li Sushang while Kiana successfully advanced.

This was also unexpected by everyone.

[Su Chang: Chi Yuan... Immortals are terrifying!]

[Yanqing: To block this sword with your forehead? ?]

[Paimon: How hard... how hard is this head?!]

Fu Hua:

[Otto: The Crimson Mandarin Duck Immortal, truly lives up to his name, my old friend.]

Kiana: Our class monitor took such a big risk to stop Li Sushang, so I can't let her down!!

[Honkai Impact 3rd - Himeko: Good luck, Kiana.]

on the screen.

[One hour ago]

[At 18:35, 5 minutes before the Hyperion enters combat readiness]

Durandal, unable to contact Nagamitsu, communicated with Rita.

"Things are getting stranger and stranger."

"First, the bishop wanted to create a so-called new history out of thin air, and asked us to guard key locations to prevent potential interference from others."

"Then Changguang, which had mastered the key technology, lost contact without anyone noticing, and the dedicated line communication became unanswered."

"—What exactly happened in a place we don't understand?!"

then.

Through the amber, Durandal and Rita discovered a video recording left behind by Changguang during their search.

"Hi, did you miss me?"

"Since you've seen this video, then I assume you've already..."

"You got fired by Mr. Otto, didn't you?!"

Changguang started by making a joke that fell flat.

His expression then became more serious.

"Ahem, since what I'm about to say is quite serious, I'll lighten the mood a bit here!"

"I now assume that Mr. Otto has imposed martial law around his church and appointed you to maintain order?"

"He certainly had a reason to do this, because he had decided to trade almost everything in the world for time to flow backward in some sense."

"Well, you must be quite surprised. After all, judging from past experience, although Mr. Otto's methods of governance have some problems—at least, in a sense, he is also saving the world from the Honkai."

"However, while this is indeed the case, it is merely a consequence of another fact."

"Whether you believe it or not, for Mr. Otto, what he wanted to save might be the world, or it might be a certain person, but it was definitely not humanity itself."

Having said that.

Not only did Chang Guang appear serious in the video.

Even Durandal and Rita had serious expressions in their eyes!

But Changguang continued speaking!

"Rather than that, Mr. Otto probably hated humanity as a collective, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to help him develop such a devastating contingency plan."

"Once this plan is implemented, the entire Earth, except for this town, will be reset to its state more than 500 years ago."

"Most of the people we care about in this world will disappear into thin air, and that is the price that allows the world to 'roll back'."

“We destroy the present and use it as fuel to reselect the past, sacrificing the new era to set long-sealed history in motion again.”

"Of course, this is by no means Mr. Otto's only contingency plan. He claims to be 50% confident that he can achieve his own goals at a much smaller cost."

"But I also need you to know that for him... sacrificing the whole world for the planned goals is just as unthinkable as sacrificing himself for them."

"If you don't intend to sit idly by and wait, but instead decide to take action to stop him... then this challenge will one day in the future take on a different meaning for you."

"But in any case, I hope you all remember one fact:"

"When Otto Apocalypse gets serious, he is without a doubt the most dangerous human being on this earth—without a doubt!"

The pre-recorded video ended here, leaving behind a silent oppression for the dense dark clouds and the stagnant land.

Philosophers say that those who wield power always impose their own definitions of good and evil on the world: they are loyal to the sky, or to the earth, or to others, or to themselves. They always dwell on an ancient arrogance, believing they already know what is good and what is evil for humankind.

But what if someone in power happens to believe that their good or evil is beyond evaluation?

There was silence.

The terrifying plan that Changguang described startled everyone present.

They never expected it.

The price that Bishop Otto would ultimately pay for his plan would be so insane and terrifying!

This!

This also happened after Durandal and Rita began the Otto Project!

This was the first time I truly understood the madness of the Otto Project!

So far!

Including Hyperion and Anti-Entropy!

Durandal and Rita have finally become the insiders!

“Perhaps I need to have a proper talk with the bishop, Rita! I mean, right now.”

"Lady Durandal, you understand the potential consequences of doing this, don't you?"

"I see."

"So, you're already mentally prepared to oppose His Holiness the Bishop, right?"

"This is the worst-case scenario. I don't know why he would arrange for Changguang to research that plan, which seems like it should never have been carried out under any circumstances! In any case, I need to ask him personally where his bottom line is."

Asking for flowers

Durandal gritted her teeth.

Although she is the S-class Valkyrie under Otto's command who should not be shaken.

But at this moment, she also felt a chill run down her spine at Otto's purpose and actions.

"Just like last year at Schicksal Airport... the impact of the Herrscher's awakening on the world was far worse than his initial plan. But he didn't care at all."

"We are both guardians of another world and living people in this world—this dual identity inherently brings us dual responsibilities."
