……
The comments section was buzzing with excitement, but Alicia and Eden watched the conversation intently.
“Bishop…we stopped that insane plan you spoke of, so now—”
"Shouldn't you tell us your real purpose now?"
Upon hearing Otto's words, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Ha...you're really persistent, Bianca."
"Even now, you still refuse to treat me as an enemy?"
Otto, being a shrewd man, grasped the key point in the goose's words with remarkable precision.
She said "the plan you mentioned," not "your plan."
The difference of just two words brought Otto a rare sense of relief.
His light laugh was not a fake laugh.
Honestly, given what has happened, Otto is genuinely happy that the goose doesn't see him as an enemy.
"I can't forgive what you did to me... but I will never forget how you nurtured me."
"And I still believe...々〃 ..."
"Deep down, you still believe in some form the things you taught us to believe."
Even Otto was slightly moved by what the silly goose said.
In this world, perhaps only Theresa and Silly Goose would view this villain with different perspectives...
Although he was willing to be that kind of villain for Karen's sake.
But who really wants to be someone despised by everyone...?
"Ah...stubborn child..."
His sigh seemed to carry a slight sob.
"To be honest, from the very beginning today, I hoped that all of you would stand against me and treat me as a heinous criminal—"
"While the former did succeed, the latter... seems to have indeed failed."
"But regardless, you have indeed defeated me, and defeated [He] behind me."
"This is a remarkable achievement—by utilizing those experiences, you will eventually overcome the Honkai and bring lasting light to the world you cherish."
"And I also have the opportunity... to do something similar to the world I cherish... to be precise, to return a lost torch to [her] hands."
Kiana: "Her?"
Durandal suddenly remembered something: "Could it be..."
"Haha... Looks like you all guessed the answer, didn't you?"
Otto smiled slightly, and then explained to the two girls what he had been doing that day and what his intentions were.
In summary, even though Otto became a "false god"-like being, he was ultimately still a "slave" of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
Although this power was immense, and although he did indeed gain the power to reshape the world.
But at the same time, he had no freedom whatsoever... He still couldn't achieve his goal.
Then, Otto made a bet here.
He bet that human will could create miracles, that it could disrupt and subdue the "laws" of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers for a fleeting moment.
Otto, in turn, had the opportunity to seize that moment and bring the power beyond reality from the Imaginary Tree to the point in time he chose, to create a new branch.
Even so, Otto will also die completely and cease to exist.
As it turned out, he won his gamble; Kiana did indeed use her anger and hatred towards him to help him break free of his restraints.
"It both created a historical detour and freed me from the need to destroy the [world] you love."
Don't you think things are a win-win situation?
Indeed, everyone was happy.
Otto achieved his goal, Kiana got her revenge, and the Herrscher of Binding was also defeated...
"Although the latter is not important to me, however..."
"Thank you for allowing me to witness a miracle that belonged only to her and me in the final moments of my life."
"I will eventually die carrying all my sins; but for those of you who still choose to move forward..."
"The ladder to conquer the crumbling heavens has now revealed its first stone steps to you; the path is winding and treacherous, almost impassable—"
But at its end... there is indeed light!
Farewell, heroes.
Tell Theresa... unfortunately, her grandfather cannot attend her coronation.

【…】
I don't know what to say anymore...
[Otto's filming has wrapped up, and it's supposed to be a happy ending for everyone... but after seeing this dialogue, I'm actually a little sad to see Otto go, what's going on? QAQ]
[Damn it! I'm just a jerk QAQ]
Otto truly believed in the goodness of the world...
[Fun fact - Ragnar's philosophy was inherited from Otto...]
[Isn't "Fight for all that is good in the world" one of Otto's earliest slogans?]
The ideas he taught Durandal and Ragnar were not just empty words...
[Fate is cruel... I wish there was a world where Kallen hadn't died, and Otto was seriously fighting against the Honkai...]
This is truly the twilight of the fools... a fool who gave up everything for a woman.
Even the departure of a villain is made to be so tragic... That's typical of miHoYo QAQ
Ah... goodbye, Otto Apocalypse...
[Is it finally over? Now it should be post-war reorganization, right?]
[Did you guys forget... there's an animated short film coming up next?]
[The short film should be showing how Otto creates a new timeline, right?]
[Hopefully the bishop will succeed QAQ]
[You have to succeed! This is the first time I've ever supported Otto this much!!]
……
Amidst the waves of blessings and farewells in the live chat.
The scene changes.
In a space of deep red.
This is the imaginary space, Otto's mental space.
He dragged his battered body, moving with faltering steps.
"Life...is truly a fragile thing."
"When I was little, my sister died on the battlefield. They told me that her soul would never perish and that her spirit would ascend to heaven..."
"Ha...human beings always enjoy deceiving themselves with such lies."
Alicia puffed out her cheeks, pressed the keyboard, and controlled Otto to slowly move forward.
The players listened intently to Otto's heartfelt words.
Looking at Otto, whose steps were slightly trembling, one couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
He is clearly a villain, an evil person.
But now countless people are cheering him on.
(Li Lezhao) "Unfortunately, death is the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything..."
"Unless we can reverse time, awaken the silent island of graves; and refill the evergreen waters of something into the past that buried everything—"
"The path that was once divided will unfold there again..."
"Ah... It's a pity that by the time Otto Apocalypse grasped this truth... he was already a notorious villain..."
Otto took a deep breath, his voice low and even somewhat dejected.
