"This isn't any different from the theory of parallel universes. The new you created by the [Imaginary Tree] server isn't the current you, just like this Mr. Otto we've met."
"He is also Otto, but he is not the Otto of our world."
Changguang nodded: "That's certainly true, but..."
Then, Changguang gave another analogy.
But after listening, many players still didn't understand.
Kiana, however, realized... she understood:
"So, you're actually saying... Otto plans to use some function of the Imaginary Tree to relive his life?"
Changguang thought for a moment before replying, "Perhaps... the phrase 'living again' isn't quite appropriate, or even that the meaning is completely reversed."
"However... for the sake of ease of understanding, let's leave it at that~"
In other words, although it's not the same meaning as Kiana's, it's roughly the same.
Only after seeing this did the players finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This time, miHoYo finally didn't use the riddle.
……
[Holy crap, does that mean Otto can really reload saves and go back in time?]
[Upstairs, pay attention to what Miss Changguang said. She said the phrase "living again" is inappropriate...]
So, Otto might not have actually traveled back in time alive?
It's still so complicated... We'll just have to wait and see how the story unfolds.
Damn it... I was just playing a game, and it got so complicated...
……
Like the comments, Alicia also completely failed to understand what Nagamitsu meant.
But she didn't intend to understand.
Because she knew that as long as she kept pushing the plot forward, she would eventually understand.
Eden, however, fell into deep thought.
Just then, Otto in the game suddenly spoke again, drawing her attention.
"I see……"
"If there really were 500 years, perhaps I myself would have undergone such changes."
Otto was always able to clearly understand himself.
Actually, at this moment, he already had the idea of "going back in time to save Kallen" in his mind.
It's just that without 500 years, that obsession isn't that deep yet.
Therefore, he put himself in Tesla's shoes and thought that if he had lived for 500 years, he might have become the Bishop Otto that Tesla was talking about.
"Ms. Tesla was right..."
"From a selfish point of view, perhaps I just didn't want the name 'Karen' to experience any more failures, which is why I joined the rebels against destiny..."
"My motives may seem ridiculous and laughable to you..."
"But you should also understand that when Karen died, the part of me that could be called 'self' also disappeared."
Tesla: “…”
"Don't you have your own life?"
"A future Bishop of Destiny, a figure who has influenced the fate of the world for five hundred years, is merely a walking shadow, a pitiful puppet?"
What Tesla is saying now is actually what Eden is thinking...
Previously, in her eyes, Otto was an evil schemer, a man who had gone mad for a woman.
But from another perspective, isn't someone who doesn't consider themselves at all, someone who has completely lost themselves, also a pitiful person?
Thinking of this, Eden suddenly recalled Otto's... indifferent attitude towards everything.
yes……
Otto didn't need anyone's pity, nor did he ever expect anyone's forgiveness.
He was acutely aware of how ugly and evil the things he said and did were.
But he did it anyway, and carried it out to the end.
Speaking of which, putting aside the facts... um? Putting aside the facts?
Alright, Otto, take this!
…………
While Eden was pondering, Nagamitsu and the others also stopped discussing the topic of "time".
Afterwards, Theresa outlined an action plan for everyone.
The game has also been transformed into a free exploration mode.
During the exploration, Durandal received a communication from Amber.
According to Amber, Otto and Rita have located the Herrscher of Dominion's core at St. 537 Church.
He also stated that as long as Theresa and her group went to that church, Otto could help the Hyperion retrieve the Herrscher core.
Theresa was worried that Otto might have feelings for Kiana, so she didn't let Kiana go over.
Finally, Theresa and Durandal, along with Otto from 500 years ago, headed to the church.
Outside the church, Bishop Otto and Otto 3.5 from 500 years ago had a historic meeting.
The same face, but the tone of voice is completely different.
“Ah, Theresa, you’ve had a hard time these past few days. I know you have so much to say to me, but…”
"Let me take care of the important things first."
When short-haired Otto spoke, his tone still carried that air of utter disdain:
"I have already seized 99.9% of the Herrscher of Dominion's core, and the remaining 0.1%... will soon be ready."
"Come, everyone, let's celebrate this momentous occasion together inside this church!"
There was no opportunity to question Theresa and the others.
After saying this, Otto went into the church first.
Despite her reservations, Theresa and Durandal, along with Otto from 500 years ago, went inside.
However, the moment they stepped inside...
Otto's voice rang out again.
"It's time, Rita, to retrieve our [experimental equipment]~"
Before Theresa could react, a flash of light appeared.
The Otto who stood behind her, from 500 years ago, died under Rita's scythe.
Upon seeing this, countless players, including Eden, were shocked, their pupils shrinking slightly.
Otto... killed his 500-year-old self?
Chapter 146 The Confirmation is Solid: Otto is Dying! His Deathbed Entrustment? ???
"Rita! What have you done?!"
The sudden turn of events gave Theresa and the others quite a fright.
The viewers in the live stream, as well as Eden, were equally bewildered.
Holy crap! Otto's ruthless...
[He even killed himself... that's utterly despicable.]
[They didn't even bother to chat with their 500-year-younger selves, they just died!]
Otto probably knows himself best, so he probably felt there wasn't much to talk about.
What I'm curious about is, why would you kill your former self...?
……
However, just as everyone was wondering, Rita in the story provided the answer.
"Calm down, Lord Durandal, it's just another Soulsteel body belonging to the Archbishop."
Otto's calm voice slowly drifted over.
"That's right, that's the easier way."
"Now I've collected the last piece of the puzzle for you all!"
