Before Theresa and the others could voice their doubts, Otto thoughtfully explained the whole story.
"Alright~ Next, let me explain the ins and outs of this incident to you~"
To put it simply, a few months ago, Kiana defeated the Herrscher of Domination, but the Herrscher's core has disappeared.
At that time, Otto used the power of the Second Divine Key to enter the ruins that controlled the theater, and discovered within them—
The core of the Ruler of Domination can partially conceal itself within the imaginary space to seek new objects to possess.
The Law of Domination seeks out those who are filled with despair and willing to let the world fail.
500 years ago, Otto experienced the darkest and most vulnerable period of his life after losing Karen.
26. Unsurprisingly, this is the best choice for the Herrscher of Dominion to possess.
Therefore, Otto deliberately created a Soul Steel body and projected information from 500 years ago.
This is equivalent to a simulation program, and the information simulated is all collected from real and complete historical information.
Therefore, Otto firmly believed that he was Otto Apocalypse from 1491.
Only in this way can we deceive the last dominating core.
And the result was exactly as Otto had predicted.
The last Herrscher core indeed led to the discovery of "Otto from 500 years ago".
After Rita killed the "Otto from 500 years ago," she obtained the last core.
"But..." Durandal still felt a little sad:
"You created this consciousness, and then... you personally crushed it for your own purposes."
Although "Otto" was merely implanted with memories, he was still a self-aware being.
In Durandal's eyes, it was also a living, breathing life.
Otto, however, seemed completely unconcerned by Durandal's furrowed brows.
"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."
"For example... in order to study the power of the Herrschers, I once took the Second Herrscher from Anti-Entropy, and at that time Mr. Welt almost destroyed her on behalf of humanity."
"After that, I killed her, resurrected her, and tormented almost everyone on the Hyperion for her power."
"In addition, it indirectly killed that captain..."
"This is the kind of thing Otto Apocalypse would do."
……
Seeing Otto casually recount his crimes, viewers felt their blood pressure soar.
The comments section was already filled with curses and insults.
Otto, that scoundrel, deserves to die...
Eden, however, discovered something amiss.
Otto never does anything meaningless.
He never bothered to explain such superfluous words.
Moreover, saying such things will only anger Durandal.
Durandal, on the other hand, is the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny and Otto's right-hand woman.
Why would Otto deliberately say such things to provoke such a powerful subordinate?
There is only one possibility: Otto no longer needs Durandal.
But then another problem arises: even if it's no longer needed, Otto wouldn't go out of his way to provoke Durandal for no reason...
"It's weird..."
While Eden pondered, Alicia continued to diligently advance the plot.
Otto's voice continued.
"Yulandel, you clearly knew more or less about the consequences of these things... but now, you're concerned about a mechanical consciousness that only existed for a few hours?"
"..." Yulandel's expression changed, and it was clear that she had indeed been angered and unhappy by Otto.
Seeing this, Otto chuckled softly, then sighed, "Ah..."
Are you angry because of what I just said? Then I can apologize—
"Because in my view, being hesitant to act for fear of breaking the law is not a shameful thing to do."
"I know you're not a little kid anymore, Bianca."
For some reason, when Eden heard this, he felt that there was something... hidden in Otto's scornful words.
Pampering?
"Over the years, you have steadfastly upheld your mission, choosing to tolerate the darkness of this world and the necessary evils I have committed..."
"I must say, there's nothing shameful about it!!"
“In this matter, you have shown a maturity and perseverance beyond your years, and 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!"
Youlan Dell: "..."
She was a little angry, but also felt a little confused.
Why would Otto suddenly tell her these things...?
Many viewers in the live stream were equally puzzled.
Even the most naive person would notice that Otto's behavior at this moment was somewhat inconsistent with his usual style.
Moreover, the game's voice acting at this point actually sounded somewhat melancholic!
too weird.
……
In the game, Otto's smiling face and dismissive tone, coupled with the mournful piano music, almost sounded like he was... entrusting his orphan to someone?!
"Okay, okay, stop sulking, my good kids~"
"Theresa, why are you staring at me like that, like I'm a murderer?"
"Your grandfather isn't a monster; he wouldn't kill people randomly no matter what."
But Theresa continued to stare at Otto.
Seeing this, he simply smiled and said, "In the past, I did indeed do things 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, and my departure from Destiny is serious too. 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... something I'd give anything for."
Theresa blinked, then couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you find?"
"After searching for some time, we found a sacred soul that was not yet dead..."
Otto's explanation was somewhat vague.
But both Eden and the players in the live stream knew that what Otto was talking about was definitely related to reviving Kallen.
"I will use my death to prove to her what a magnificent end to life it is to truly die voluntarily and die willingly!"
"Come on! In order for our relationship to continue, please accept this gift... my dear Theresa."
As he spoke, Otto fused together the 1 [Herrscher of Domination] cores he had collected.
Then, like throwing candy to a child, it was tossed to Theresa.
"Here, try using its power for your own purposes, Theresa. It might become a rather perfect weapon!"
Theresa: "..."
Looking at the Herrscher of Dominion core in her hand, she had some doubts, but she didn't refuse: "Thank you for the reminder. The scientists at Anti-Entropy will study this."
Otto smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm not worried about that. After all, they always do excellent research and will definitely help you solve those most difficult intellectual problems."
"You don't need to be too angry with me, Theresa..."
"The power transfer ceremony will proceed as scheduled. I assure you, you will become the [Archbishop of Destiny] with complete authority."
"I will soon embark on my final journey, to the other side of the world to find that one and only existence—"
"Kalen Kaslana..."
After saying this, Otto left alone without looking back.
After watching this part of the story, the comments section became lively.
What's going on? I keep feeling like Ottogi is acting weird...
