It was merely a perfect lure used by Otto to entice the escaped core of the Herrscher of Domination.
She was merely one of the pawns destined to be sacrificed in Otto's entire scheme.
But... after spending these few hours together.
To understand the true nature of Otto from 500 years ago.
Everyone is still heartbroken by the passing of such a life with its own thoughts.
They were also furious at Otto's constant scheming and plotting!
in the picture.
Otto seemed to sense the group's thoughts.
"That is why the individual firmly believed that he was Otto Apocalypse from 1491."
He firmly believed that he had just led the rebellion to overthrow the old destiny, and that everything he had done was for the sake of the saint in his heart—
"—and that's why the deepest, most fatal darkness within can be preserved exactly as it is."
Speaking of which.
A hint of coldness flashed in Otto's eyes.
His gaze swept over Theresa, Durandal, and the others.
"Do I need to remind you of the real history?"
"A leader of the 'New Mandate,' who rose to power through rebellion, betrayed all his comrades over five hundred years in an attempt to heal the unspeakable wounds in his heart—"
"—In the end, he became the epitome of evil in the eyes of anti-entropy, and even his trusted subordinates only chose to serve him for the purpose of maintaining order."
"And the other 'him' you saw is right at the beginning of this long and dark journey."
"He was like Macbeth after seeing the witches—arbitrarily deciding the fate of everyone just because of his own delusions."
"The result is as you have seen: the only escaped Herrscher core has unsurprisingly parasitized his body."
Otto stood with one hand behind his back, looking somewhat lonely.
It was as if he was mocking himself.
His words revealed an uncanny understanding of everyone's opinions of him.
This also includes the real reason why Durandal and others still serve Destiny.
Durandal immediately voiced the sentiments of most people.
"You created this consciousness, and then...and then you personally crushed it for your own purposes!"
But faced with Durandal's accusations.
Otto made no attempt to deny it, instead offering a cold laugh.
"Yes, but is this the first time you've heard that I would do something like this?"
“For example… I saved someone’s life five hundred years ago, but five hundred years later I still point a gun at her. That’s more like something Otto Apocalypse would do.”
off screen.
Fu Hua's expression darkened, and a few black lines appeared on her face.
"For example... in order to study the power of the Herrschers, I once took the Second Herrscher from Anti-Entropy. At that time, Mr. Welt almost destroyed her on behalf of humanity."
On the Star Dome Train.
Walter, whose name was called, calmly adjusted his glasses.
But the slight twitching at the corner of his eye betrayed his unsettled state of mind.
"After that, I killed her, resurrected her, and tortured almost everyone on the Hyperion for her power. These are all things that Otto Apocalypse did."
"Durandal, you clearly know more or less about the cause and effect of these things—yet now, you're concerned about a mechanical consciousness that only existed for a few hours?"
Otto's words carried a hint of flippancy and amusement.
But deep in his eyes was utterly calm.
It was as if he had been so clear-headed from beginning to end.
Be fully aware of the harm your actions will cause to others.
To be fully aware of what kind of evil person you are.
But that's exactly what Otto did.
Otto Apocalypse, with unparalleled clarity, weighed the pros and cons of everything, and then coldly and ruthlessly made the choice that was most beneficial to him.
And this... sent a chill down the spines of those watching from outside the screen.
[Hu Tao: Otto...how scary!]
[Ningguang: So Otto knew all along! He knew what others thought of him!]
Fu Hua: As he himself said, he has always been a rational villain.
[March 7th: But...but he clearly knew! Why...]
[Ayaka Kamisato: I feel like emotions really have little impact on Otto...]
Kiana: Even with Theresa... Otto doesn't seem to be able to change the overall course of his plans because of Theresa's opinions...
[The Black Tower: Otto merely managed to make decisions with near-absolute rationality.]
[Heita: Moreover, he is an extreme egoist.]
on the screen.
And so Otto spoke.
Everyone present realized that Otto...
It's no longer the kind-hearted consciousness it once was!
This also made everyone present realize that this Otto... was the real Otto!
Suddenly!
Otto easily provoked the anger of the group with just a few words!
He gritted his teeth as he stared at that elegant and handsome face, which made him want to grind it to dust!
Even Durandal fell silent for a moment.
indeed....
She had personally witnessed Bishop Otto commit countless outrageous acts.
But none of them have spoken out in condemnation like this now.
"Oh dear, are you angry because of what I just said? Well, I can apologize—"
"Because in my view, being afraid to act for fear of breaking the law is not a shameful thing."
“I know you’re not a little kid anymore, Bianca.”
“Over the years, you have stayed true to your mission, choosing to tolerate the darkness of this world and the necessary evils I have committed. I must say, there is nothing shameful about it.”
"In this matter, you have shown a maturity and perseverance beyond your years. I will not hesitate to tell the whole world about this—you, Durandal!"
"He is the best student I have had in five hundred years."
For a while.
Otto's voice echoed within the dilapidated church ruins.
Durandal's expression was incredibly complex.
"you...."
He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
He still looked at Otto with a hint of resentment.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, my good children. Theresa, why are you staring at me like that, like I'm a murderer?"
Otto smiled and spoke softly to Durandal and Theresa as if coaxing a child.
It felt as if I was really talking to my own family.
But off-screen.
Many viewers clearly saw a sadness in Otto's eyes—a sadness of being misunderstood and loneliness.
Even his gentle tone sounded somewhat dejected to them.
"Your grandfather is not a devil. He would never kill people randomly."
“In the past, I did do things that were excessive to you and your subordinates for some unavoidable reasons.”
"But my child... haven't you noticed that all those terrible things are now in the past?"
"My resignation is serious. My departure from Destiny is also serious. You must know, over the past five hundred years, I have traversed countless mountains and rivers to find my final resting place—"
"—That's a priceless treasure that nothing can buy! It's worth giving up everything I have!"
Otto seemed to be muttering to himself.
Yet, her face visibly radiated a unique light and brilliance.
It's like pursuing an ultimate life goal.
In response to Otto's words.
Theresa's expression became even more conflicted.
"What exactly did you find?!"
“We found a time, we found a sacred soul that was not yet dead. You know—many people die too late; and some die too early.”
"She thought she had found her own death, but everyone knew it was by no means the right time."
"On the contrary, if I could decide my own death—I would use my death to prove to her what a magnificent end to life it is to truly die voluntarily and die a worthy death."
"At that time... she will realize how brilliant the light of humanity her life can still radiate in that previously stagnant future."
A gentle smile appeared on Otto's face.
He looked at the petite girl, his granddaughter, whose eyes were filled with anger and confusion.
"Come on! In order for our relationship to continue in the future, please accept this gift, my dear Theresa."
As Otto's gentle voice faded away.
The golden light of destruction shone brightly!
Those Herrscher cores, like a sky full of stars! One by one, they converged like shooting stars!
Then it merged into one in the blond man's hands!
He slightly shook his sleeves.
Like tossing candy to a child, the precious gem was tossed into Theresa's palm.
"Now, Theresa, try to use its power for your own purposes. It might become a rather perfect weapon."
Otto looked at Theresa tenderly and said...
The latter was taken aback.
It seemed to have touched him.
But when he thought about what Otto had just done...
Theresa, still somewhat annoyed, turned her gaze away.
"Thank you for reminding me. Scientists at Anti-Entropy will be researching this."
And outside the screen.
The crowd watched Otto's confession and then his actions.
For a moment, silence fell over them.
Because people have discovered... it seems that the more they understand Otto, the less they understand him...
Otto always seemed to be shrouded in mystery.
