[Just a quick rant... The voice of Void Treasury... sounds so much like Otto's QAQ]
[MiHoYo!! Please don't kill Durandal QAQ]
The kalanchoe flavor is a bit too strong...
Indeed, using the same model is one thing, but to make matters worse, their personalities are so similar!
[It seems like everyone in the Kaslana family is like this... except for Kevin.]
What I'm really looking forward to is how Otto is going to die.
[Hopefully I'll beat him to death (doge emoji)]
.......
Chapter 155 finally shows the health bar; a stunningly well-developed villain.
Leaving aside the discussion in the comments section.
Eden and Alicia, watching from the live stream, were both deeply captivated by the conversation between Otto and Void Treasury.
The two appeared to be discussing Otto's resurrection of Kallen.
But upon closer examination, one will discover...
What the two were actually discussing was human nature.
“Void Treasury, do you still remember the letter I once wrote to that Walter?”
"We are all too fragile, so much so that we can only achieve temporary peace by threatening each other..."
"They even use high-sounding words like 'order' and 'ethics' to cover up their utterly despicable motives."
Otto scoffed: "These statements still hold true today. After all, humanity always repeats the same mistakes—and even ignores this fact itself."
Void Treasury completely agreed with Otto's words, but at the same time, he also "kindly" reminded him:
"I think... these same statements can also be used to criticize yourself."
“That’s right, the Void of All Things,” Otto chuckled.
"Whether it's K423, Durandal, Theresa, or Walter... you could say they all inherited Kallen's mantle from different perspectives."
"The universe is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. For the world before us, it certainly doesn't need Karen's brave heart to beat again from its grave."
Hearing Otto's words, Void Treasury couldn't help but mock, "Some people pretend to be ignorant when they know the truth, but you should perhaps be called 'knowing the truth but deliberately being ignorant'."
“Hehehe... This is something you don’t understand, the vastness of the void,” Otto laughed.
However, observant players noticed that Otto's laughter seemed to be deliberately concealing something.
And his voice, unusually, was... somewhat excited.
"So-called human emotions are essentially a desire to release them, even at the cost of harming oneself and others."
"It's just that, by general definition, 'good people' are ultimately better at using reason to control their emotions, while 'bad people' are used to letting their emotions dominate their reason."
"As for the 26 so-called 'rational villains'... they have turned their lives into machines that only calculate self-interest, and they are not even worthy of being called 'human beings'."
Void Treasury: "...Is that so? I think you're exactly that kind of 'rational villain' right now."
The phrase "the vast emptiness" is as if it means Otto is not even worthy of being called a human being.
Otto did not remove his clothes when he said those words.
It must be said that Otto is indeed a "rational villain".
He was so rational that he knew how despicable his actions were, yet he still did them.
In response to the Void's words, Otto replied quite frankly, "I haven't denied that I'm not worthy of being called a 'human.'"
"Rather than that... I'm very clear that I myself am the epitome of this kind of dross."
"Didn't I say... that humans always emotionally believe that those they love are immortal and eternal?"
"And I am nothing more than a fool who lets this emotion dictate his reason, and who constantly calculates his own interests in the process."
At this moment, Otto's voice sounded incredibly excited.
There was even a slight tremor.
After hearing Otto's words, the players had very mixed feelings.
To say Otto is a madman... is an understatement; yet he possesses a remarkably clear understanding of himself.
He may not be crazy, but his actions are no different from those of a madman.
Coupled with his extremely excited tone, the players felt a strange sensation.
It seems... Otto didn't actually want to be this kind of villain, but... he doesn't regret doing these things for Karen.
This feeling is so contradictory.
This contradictory feeling is so ingenious that it makes people want to applaud.
This flashback sequence and the text that explores the human condition are absolutely brilliantly written.
In the world of entertainment, Honkai Impact 3rd is absolutely unique in portraying a villain in such a well-rounded way.
Even Eden couldn't help but marvel.
"The difference between a 'bad person' and a 'good person' is the difference between reason governing desire and desire governing reason..."
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs..."
"Tsk...this copywriting is really good~"
……
The comments section was also filled with enthusiastic praise.
In the past, whenever Otto appeared in the story, players would shout for Otto to be killed.
But this time, besides praising this scene, the comments section was filled with discussions about Otto's feelings at that moment.
The sound of "Defeat Otto" was completely silenced.
……
The plot and writing of Honkai Impact 3rd are absolutely amazing...
The character Otto is really... I'm devastated.
Otto was being self-deprecating; he was perfectly aware of what he had done...
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that Otto is using a bitter smile to demonstrate his sadness.
Indeed, the voice acting is good... Although miHoYo's boss can be a bit inhumane when he's throwing out grievances, the game's quality is definitely worth praising.
This is the best-developed villain I've ever seen...
……
In the game, after Otto finished making a self-deprecating joke, Durandal had already arrived at the church.
"Look, the first person who wants to settle scores with me is already very close."
Otto greeted him in a very friendly tone:
"Welcome, my dear friend despite the age gap, the foremost S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny~"
Then, his tone changed abruptly, and the game music also changed abruptly, becoming extremely serious, like a battle horn.
"—If it were an hour ago, I definitely would have greeted you like that, Durandal~"
After a moment of silence, Durandal asked bluntly, "Someone told me that in your upcoming plan, you might [destroy the present and then choose the past again]."
"What exactly does this mean?"
Otto smiled. "Judging from what you quoted, it must have been Changguang who told you that."
Otto naturally knew the information that Changguang left for Durandal and the others.
"I once asked Changguang to design several different solutions for reconstructing the world—but in short, the most expensive solution was the most stable."
"If I just give you the conclusion, you'll probably be confused, so let me take some time to start from the beginning."
This is another very long explanation.
The relationship between 【Save】 and 【Load】.
At the cost of the present, let the world begin 500 years ago.
"Imagine—a catastrophe like the Second Honkai Impact could be wiped clean; and modern people like us, with our own experiences, would help humanity grow anew."
"The benefits of this outcome far outweigh the losses."
"Frankly, I don't like the World Serpent's Stigmata Project. But now, Schicksal has missed its best opportunity to stop it. Going back to square one is also creating an opportunity for ourselves to reshape the world situation."
"And [He] is also happy to enjoy such a time-bending spectacle."
"At that time, the Honkai Will will lower the [Gate] of the Imaginary Tree for me; and I will become [It's] agent in the human world in this matter."
Yulandel finally understood completely.
