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

Alicia turned her head away. Although her tone wasn't harsh, she was quite certain that Kiana wouldn't be so kind as to help her enemy.

"No need to help... or rather, let's see what Otto does? I'm also very curious. If it can really be delayed by 500 years, that would be quite a progress."

Velvi scratched her head. She didn't really believe in the plan. After all, even Theresa could see through Otto's acting, so who would believe it was the complete plan?

But it must be said that the word "time" has captured her attention.

If the pre-civilization had truly regressed 500 years... no, 50 years, it might have been able to defeat the Honkai.

"But...I remember Kevin was there too, wouldn't he agree?"

Alicia glanced at the cold figure in the distance and asked Velvi a question.

"Kevin... speaking of which, the Tenth Herrscher has been dealt with, right?" Velvi smiled, throwing out an unrelated topic.

"Hmm...?" Alicia tilted her head and let out a questioning sound through her nose.

"Kevin doesn't like the End either, he doesn't like that plan."

"Vilvie said with amusement, looking into Alicia's eyes."

...

The final experimental results are in: the energy intensity of the internal imaginary core does not match the predicted values ​​at all.

Predictably... someone else beat them to it.

There was only one person who met the criteria and had the ability, so it's not hard to guess that it was Otto's doing again!

This infuriated Tesla, who jumped up and down, hurling insults at the customer.

In the dark gray, quaint town outside, countless blond men dressed in conspicuous clothing stood or stood, their gazes varied, all looking towards the distant Hyperion, that silver warship.

As expected, a major battle is about to break out.

The fact that the power of the Herrscher of a Thousand has indeed fallen into Otto's hands makes it clear that his promise to hand over the Herrscher core to Theresa was nothing but empty talk.

The true core, the imaginary singularity, was already in his own hands.

Within just a few hours, the alarm bells on the ship rang loudly.

Over a hundred creatures resembling Bishop Otto of Schicksal approached the Hyperion. The crew members inside exchanged glances, already guessing what kind of ability the creatures were using.

Meanwhile, communications within the ship were re-established, and Otto's figure reappeared.

After such a series of events, no one believed the other party's lies about having no ulterior motives anymore. The other party's plan had already been slowly unfolding, just waiting for them to be caught.

Good night, everyone. Let us celebrate for the future of humanity!

Otto maintained the elegance befitting a bishop of destiny, politely greeting everyone present while ignoring the angry stares of the others.

He smiled and slowly began his conversation.

In his usual tone, he spoke with an air of righteousness.

It's as if everything is for the other party's benefit, but when they are clearly enemies, this is quite provocative.

"In the end, I will sacrifice myself to buy humanity an extra five hundred years from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, giving you ample time to fight against the Honkai."

“More than five hundred years…” Theresa’s expression changed drastically as she stared intently at the other person.

Although it's unclear what "extra effort" means, this number happens to coincide remarkably well with Karen's case...

In other words, he's going to cause trouble in this world?

"Hehe—it seems little Theresa has grown up quite a bit and has realized something."

Otto glanced at Theresa and nodded slightly.

His granddaughter has indeed grown rapidly in the course of several major battles, which is very good, and it puts his mind at ease a little.

"I remember saying not long ago, 'I will soon embark on my final journey to the other side of the world to find that one and only existence.'"

"—I will erase these five hundred years of history from the 'branches of time,' allowing the world itself to return to the state where Karen Kaslana is still alive."

"Of course, you don't need to worry about your existence being erased by this process."

"Whoever comes to Klosten today, regardless of your position—Otto Apocalypse will protect you from the torrent of time."

He made a worthless promise; he never intended to destroy anything here.

"...And those of you who have returned to the past will surely be able to help the Holy Maiden realize her ideals."

"Time reversal? That guy from Destiny, are you out of your mind? Do you think we don't know how much energy that would require?"

Tesla scoffed, not taking it seriously.

That energy index, let alone Destiny, wouldn't even be enough to fill the space of 12 Herrschers, let alone Otto...

"...What if I've already made a pact with something called the 'Will of Honkai'?"

"What if the price I paid was the time flowing on the tree of imaginary numbers, or the 'now' itself?"

Otto didn't mind what they said, after all, they were making pretty much the same progress as him on the path of science.

But this also means... things beyond their imagination, they believe, will never happen in reality.

This undoubtedly stifles some of our imagination.
