This was also the first time the players had ever seen Durandal like this.
Looks very cute.
Youlan Dell: "..."
Tesla: "...?!"
Theresa: "...Grandpa?"
Immediately afterwards, a voiceover appeared in the game.
In the heart of Klosten, the trio exploring spacetime anomalies discovers a familiar yet unfamiliar figure—a designer.
At this moment, they are unaware of it—
What impact will this tiny current have on the world in the future?
……
[Otto, take this!!]
【Otto, prepare to die!】
Why has Otto's hair grown longer again?
[Something's not right with Otto... Is he acting? Is he putting on an amnesia act?]
[I get it, I get it, this must be a projection of Otto from 500 years ago]
"Seriously... you can actually have a conversation with the projector?"
Didn't any of you notice Durandal's expression just now? Hahaha...
[They found it, and their stunned expressions are so cute!]
[As expected of a silly goose~]
[Quickly beat Otto up!]
……
The moment Otto appeared, the chat exploded.
Eden and Alicia were also very curious about this "unfamiliar Otto".
The final narration in the game also made Eden realize that something was amiss.
Could it be that this projected Otto can actually have an impact on history?
Alicia didn't have many thoughts on that. Without pausing, she immediately started reading the following plot dialogue.
After Theresa's explanation, Otto roughly understood the current situation.
"Well... anyway, let me sort out the situation."
"You mean, this is the year 2017... and you are also people from the year 2017... and you all know me?"
"Otherwise, why would I call you grandpa?" Theresa looked at Otto with a complex mix of emotions.
Although he accepted the fact that he had traveled through time, Otto still had many questions:
"But... even if what you're saying is true... how can I possibly live to be over five hundred years old?"
Yulandal slowly explained, "You created a mechanical prosthetic body for yourself."
Tesla also scoffed:
"Hmph~ Yeah, you even used Trojan programs to steal other people's bodies."
"No matter what, I can't trust you."
"At the very least, you'll have to prove you're actually from the 15th century."
"After all, your existence is far too abnormal. None of the other leaked spacetime information around here indicates a living, breathing person like you."
Tesla would not easily believe Otto's side of the story.
Therefore, her tone and expression appeared very unfriendly.
This made Otto a little embarrassed: "Uh..."
"While that could certainly be a reason for you to be wary of me..."
"But I always feel like I really did a lot of things in the future that you guys can't accept..."
At this point, Tesla with twin ponytails immediately bristled: "It's not just unacceptable! You..."
Halfway through his sentence, Tesla sighed again: "Never mind... if you really are another version of him from the 15th century, then beating you up now won't do any good."
"I can't worry about the future of parallel worlds."
“…Parallel worlds?” Otto stroked his chin. “That seems to make sense, since it avoids time paradoxes.”
“Hmm, that’s basic philosophical common sense, I guess…” Tesla finally realized something at this point: “Wait a minute…”
"This isn't the time for idle chatter, Theresa, Durandal, what do you think we should do with this guy?"
Upon seeing this, the comments section became lively again.
The screen was filled with comments like, "Kill him!!"
Unfortunately, the bullet comments cannot affect the game's progress.
Theresa thought for only a moment before suggesting, "Help him...go back 500 years?"
"But Doctor, you just said that the person in front of us could also be Grandpa in disguise for some reason..."
Durandal: "I don't think he's feigning ignorance, but if you need to take him back to the Hyperion for investigation, I have no objection."
"But in my view, our most pressing task right now is still to explore this anomalous space."
Tesla thought about it and agreed with Durandal's words.
"However, I still think we should rule out certain possibilities..."
What she meant was that she hoped to do everything possible to rule out the possibility that "Otto was an imposter."
Otto naturally understood the meaning behind Tesla's words, which made him sigh softly.
"Sigh... I, from the future, am truly someone you'd be terrified of..."
"Tsk...mind your own business," Tesla retorted angrily.
"Do you know what despicable things that someone with a disgusting face like yours has done? Do you want me to list a few for you?!"
Seeing this, Durandal quickly tried to smooth things over: "Dr. Tesla, please control your emotions."
"I know the bishop has done many things to wrong you in the past, but compared to past grievances, we have more pressing matters to address now."
Otto didn't seem to care much about Tesla's prejudice against him, and instead recounted his recent experience.
In his account, he had led the rebel army and the Order of Destiny in a battle here.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in this area from the battlefield.
This situation also made everyone realize that the history of Otto was very similar to that of Tesla and others.
There was indeed such a history in Tianming 500 years ago.
At that time, under the rule of the Mandate of Heaven, the common people lived a very difficult life.
·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·····
In such a repressive environment, the concept of "Saint Kallen" began to circulate among the people as a form of faith.
They believed that Karen was the only "saint" in the world, and that Karen's death was an act of atonement for "all those born with sin."
The people began to worship everything and everyone related to the "Saintess".
"And then you cleverly used all of this to make those people your stepping stones to the bishop's position?"
"This..." Otto asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you think this way?"
While there were indeed some biased views, Tesla still believed that Otto was that kind of person.
At the same time, she also vehemently denounced the evil deeds committed by Otto.
They plotted against Nancy, the inventor who created the Moon Throne.
She forced the strongest female warrior of Destiny at the time—Leanna—to her death.
He murdered the First Agent Herrscher—Joyce.
During the Second Honkai Impact, they targeted Welt, released the Second Herrscher, and indirectly killed tens of millions of innocent civilians...
These words left Otto in disbelief.
Seeing Tesla's increasingly heated words, Theresa quickly tried to comfort him.
.... ...... ....
"Calm down, Dr. Tesla. The person you're accusing has no direct connection to the person in front of you."
After taking a deep breath, Tesla said unhappily:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I really want you to know that, in our perception, Otto Apocalypse can be described with many different labels."
"But the word 'good person' is not included."
