To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

This right came so late, so late, that he regretted it for the rest of his life, and that he never stopped wanting to go back to the way things were.

What is the most desperate moment?

He gained the ability to save her, but he had already missed his chance to be with her.

He looked at the cheers before the execution rack, at the joyful expressions of the people, at the blood-stained church square... and at the gray, gloomy sky.

He was the victor, yet he couldn't feel his heart beating.

Only when despair, like an abyss, strikes, does the calm...heart become as still as death.

...

"Hiss... That was a fast slash, a bit outrageous, but when I think of Otto, it makes some sense."

"His ruthlessness towards himself is very much in line with my impression of Otto."

Xiao Shi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

She still vividly remembers the unexpected gunshot wound; it remains a haunting nightmare for her.

This time, however, Otto killed himself. Although Rita did it for him, the way she swung the scythe so smoothly...did she really harbor resentment all along?

What should I do if I suddenly feel a secret sense of satisfaction?

“Otto… looks so different, especially when the two versions of him are shown side by side on screen.”

Karen sighed softly and said in a low voice,

Slowly closing her eyes and then opening them again, she swept away the remaining emotions, revealing a clear blue.

She's not the same person she used to be.

"What just happened scared me. He was killed without any warning. Xiao Shi, is Otto really that kind of person?"

Alicia patted her chest, as if she had been startled.

But to those who understand the laws, that trembling softness looks like a boast, a swagger.

She knows the other person, why is she taking pictures?

"I can only say... that's quite vivid and descriptive of Otto."

Despite her displeasure, she still replied politely. She didn't want to give the other party an excuse to get entangled with her, which was something Mebius liked to do!

...

"As expected of the person I hate in the game... She really does things without any scruples."

Tesla seemed to have inherited the resentment of her counterpart in the game, and she had been chattering on and on ever since she heard about Otto's exploits. She spoke with a mixture of regret and apprehension.

"Hiss... This guy, if he used such a smart brain to fight the Honkai... it would be much better."

"Tsk, I thought you, Dr. Tesla, disliked Otto."

Einstein paused, glancing thoughtfully at his red-haired, twin-tailed comrade.

"I hate him now!"

Tesla quickly responded, his face clearly showing disgust, but he hesitated and reluctantly began to speak.

"It's just that... in every aspect, the other party is still capable, with ideas, innovation, and concepts... damn it! You can't see any signs of the aging and decay of someone who's been around for five hundred years."

"Oh? So, you mean to imply that Bishop Karen's ideas are outdated? Then... should I report her?"

Einstein chuckled, looking at the other man's darkening cheeks.

"Stop joking! Even if I had to choose between the two leaders, I would definitely choose Karen. But... how does she think she's doing this? It's a bit inhumane, but this method isn't bad, it's very feasible."

“But we won’t choose that path either, give up, Dr. Tesla… Besides, have you ever had such a desperate moment in your life?”

"There's actually a time when you could become a thousand-person Herrscher?"

Einstein was always a skilled conversationalist; even when she was dealing with Dr. Tesla during a low point in his life, she could always talk at length and help him through that period.

Although Dr. Tesla seems to get more agitated each time...

"Or... when you were persecuted and embarrassed, you also thought about destruction..."

She tried to list them, putting her finger to her lips as she thought carefully, but it seemed there were too many examples.

So before she could say anything, Tesla, filled with shame and indignation, covered her mouth.

"Shut up! I don't want to become some kind of puppet!"

...

Otto displayed his arrogance to the fullest, explaining to the few people present, or perhaps guiding them.

"Everything you see and collect is regenerated in our own world."

These past events are just fragments of information; none of them are real.

As for the Soul Steel Golem on the ground, Otto frankly stated—

He was merely a simulation program, simulating an object drawn from real, complete historical information that had traveled through time and space—that is, himself.

That's why the puppet firmly believed he was Otto Apocalypse from 1491, because his memories told him that, and he believed it to be true.
