"Do I need to remind you of the real history?"

Otto smiled gently, but the smile was tinged with coldness, and his eyes held a chilling glint as he spoke in a dramatic tone.

Fearing they might confuse reality with history, they "kindly" tried to sort things out for them.

"—A leader of the 'New Mandate of Heaven' who rose to power through rebellion, betrayed all his comrades over five hundred years in an attempt to heal his unspeakable inner wounds—"

"—In the end, he became the epitome of evil in the eyes of anti-entropy, and even his trusted subordinates only chose to serve him for the purpose of maintaining order."

"...and the 'other him' you met is right at the beginning of this long and dark journey."

It's as if the speaker isn't talking about themselves, but rather calmly and detachedly narrating and dissecting another person's life experiences from a detached third-party perspective.

Quite objective and accurate.

"He was like Macbeth after seeing the witches—he arbitrarily decided the fate of everyone just because of his own delusions."

He bowed slightly, as if taking his final bow after a performance.

His face remained completely expressionless, his smile revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"But... in terms of the outcome..."

"You created this consciousness, and then... you personally stifled it for your own purposes."

Durandal looked at him with surprise and uncertainty, and asked.

"Yes. But is this the first time you've heard I'd do something like this?"

Otto shook his head and asked a question in return, seemingly feeling he had failed to educate the other person for still holding such naive ideas.

“For example… I saved someone’s life five hundred years ago, but five hundred years later I still point a gun at her. That’s more like something Otto Apocalypse would do.”

Otto spoke with a smile, subtly stirring up the emotions of the group.

Seeing the shifting emotions on their faces, he continued to relentlessly test their limits.

"For example... in order to study the power of the Herrschers, I once took the Second Herrscher from Anti-Entropy. At that time, Mr. Welt almost destroyed her on behalf of humanity."

"After that, I killed her, resurrected her, and tortured almost everyone on the Hyperion for her power. These are all things that Otto Apocalypse did."

"Durandal, you clearly knew more or less about the cause and effect of these things."

"—But now that things have come to this, you're concerned about a mechanical consciousness that only existed for a few hours?"

[To analyze oneself from a third-party perspective, even with a slightly derogatory evaluation of one's own actions... only Otto himself could make such an assessment.]

【Ugh, this guy! Fu Hua, Sirin, Kiana…】

In terms of controlling other people's emotions, I would call it unparalleled.

[Pointing guns at each other: Crimson Kite Immortal, I didn't lie!]

Is this a taunt against the opposing team?

Fu Hua took a deep breath, realizing the Herrscher of the Void was furious, and gritted her teeth.

Sirin's face also darkened, and Kiana clenched her fists.

Watching Otto spout nonsense on the screen, the group of people involved in his topic naturally didn't look too happy after hearing his words.

"Whoa! This guy, this guy, this guy..." The Herrscher of Knowledge angrily repeated the phrase, unable to find the vicious words to describe Otto, which only fueled her anger.

Finally, she took a breath, spat, and said fiercely.

"...How awful!"

Qianjie glanced at her twice, thinking that her swear words needed improvement, but he didn't want to argue with a child, so he just glanced at her and didn't comment.

Alicia and Eden covered their mouths and chuckled secretly, while Luo Mo couldn't help but smile, finding it amusing.

Xilin spat as well, what did she mean by repeatedly killing and resurrecting? She couldn't do sit-ups!

However, that person was quite despicable, and his eyes revealed a look of disgust.

"He shouldn't be so impatient as to start provoking the headmistress and the others on the eve of victory, right?" Mei wondered, unable to understand the other party's actions.

"Clearly, the other party's plan is still related to Theresa and the others, and quite closely so... However, it's unclear whether the provocation is intended to lower the other party's goodwill."

Vilvi shook her head, clicking her tongue, but a knowing smile remained on her lips.

...

Otto seemed oblivious to the anger that simultaneously flashed across their faces, continuing to speak to himself.

He educated Durandal as an elder and a teacher, and advised Theresa as an adult.

They kept stirring things up and saying things that sounded like they were talking to a child.

"Alright, alright, stop sulking, my good children. Theresa, why are you staring at me like that, like I'm a murderer?"

"Your grandfather is not a devil. He would never kill people randomly."

Otto spoke with sincerity, his emerald green eyes fixed on the person opposite him.

But if one can ignore the blood-soaked puppet at his feet, perhaps his argument will be more convincing.

"But my child, haven't you noticed that all those terrible things are now in the past?"
