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

"I didn't expect you to be so objective in evaluating yourself."

The emotionless voice of Void Treasury replied calmly.

His assessment was quite objective, and everyone who read about his experience thought so; he had indeed missed out on a lot back then.

"If I can't do that, how can I be sure that I can provide a second life for another person, for her who is different from me?"

Otto smiled thoughtfully, seemingly unconcerned by the other party's seemingly sarcastic words.

He had felt regret in his heart more than once.

Unfortunately, the time when he needed his abilities most was precisely the time when he was most powerless.

[Tsk, no wonder they said it turned into Otto's shape; it speaks exactly like Otto...]

Even Otto would make such a mistake?

Otto used to be a pretty honest person...

To be honest, Otto's response to this question shocked everyone present. It was something that anyone with eyes could see, or rather, a question that, no matter how you answered it, wouldn't have made things worse, yet he answered it in such a way.

It can only be said that people are more likely to lose their sense of propriety in front of those they care about too much.

"He certainly doesn't seem like a proper childhood sweetheart. He's so cunning when he's messing with other people, but when it comes to his own children, he's all cowering and cowering..."

Theresa said with dissatisfaction,

Her resentment towards Otto stemmed from that initial "Grandpa," followed by a series of conspiracies and schemes, even though she was his granddaughter in some of them... but when it came to executing the plans, there was absolutely no mercy.

To be honest, she was a little intimidated when she saw him.

But with her grandmother by her side, the other party was just so-so, Theresa comforted herself.

"But I only have this one childhood sweetheart, Theresa. How can I compare whether she's suitable or not?"

Karen looked at Theresa with amusement; the other woman couldn't hide her expression at all.

"Hmph—it seems so unreliable no matter how you look at it."

Theresa shook her head as she spoke, her feelings actually quite complicated.

On the one hand, she acknowledged the other person's feelings for her grandmother, but on the other hand, she was terrified by his methods.

Although the opponent's performance in the game was poor, it actually relieved her; at least they didn't seem ambitious from the start.

"But he always stood by my side, even when facing the immortals of the Divine Land and the corrupt destiny. Whether in prison or on the execution ground, he was the only person I could trust."

Karen replied with a smile, feeling an urge to tease him.

Her feelings toward Otto were even more complicated; she wasn't sure if what she felt for him was love.

But the other person was already very important to her.

"Phew—that's true, no one cares about Grandma more than him. But did this person really exist in history? Did you delete his file, Grandma?"

Theresa looked at Karen's smile and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Maybe, I think little Theresa is missing a childhood sweetheart like that."

"Stop it, Grandma—"

Chapter 197 One Hundred Years of Solitude (plus...)

Theresa and Karen were still in the mood for playful banter, but compared to the truly carefree Theresa, Karen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Having read Otto's memories from his perspective, she understood even more clearly what kind of feelings he had for her.

His intense emotions, as fiery as a raging fire, poured his heart and soul into her.

How could she not be moved?

The first encounter between the young boy and girl rewrote their predetermined fate, propelling the wheels of history forward and making their story even more intricate.

How many ups and downs must have occurred to cause two people who once vowed to save the world together to gradually drift apart?

Each scene, each step, led them deeper into the abyss of death.

...

"Let's see how it goes; we'll have plenty of opportunities to criticize."

"After all... in her presence, I am often just a complete fool."

Otto sighed softly and continued walking forward through the clouds.

The fog was thick, and the road seemed endless.

There was no path ahead, nor any other scenery; they were simply strolling and then critiquing their memories.

That's all.

The night was cold and windy. The two huddled around the campfire for warmth. In the darkness, the orange light shone on their faces, their emerald green and blue eyes fixed on the burning flames.
