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

This younger brother, whom she initially thought was utterly useless, is now someone she even fears.

But alas, such a weakness was left behind, even though the enemy had turned the tide so well during the Black Death...

She shook her head, looking at the other person with a mocking expression:

"What a pity, she's going to be hanged tomorrow, turning into a corpse that will never wake up under the swaying rope."

"—And it was all her own choice, wasn't it?"

"...We drove her to this dead end. We are all guilty."

Otto clenched his fist and looked at the other person coldly, saying,

“Since our father could be murdered like this, I believe you must also have a way to rescue Karen.”

"Once it's done, we promise to go far away—we'll never covet the bishop's position you've set your sights on."

"Hmm... what you're saying does make some sense."

"But in the current situation, nobody wants to help Karen..."

Lisa smiled slyly. Whether Kallen lived or died was not important. What mattered was that she needed to confirm Otto's departure, and now... it just so happened that he needed her help.

"You...don't want to help me?"

"Don't rush, Otto, my dear brother... as long as... you're willing to get your hands dirty..."

The venomous woman stated her demands, her icy words causing Otto's pupils to shrink.

As long as you're willing to get your hands dirty...get your hands dirty...

After a long silence, he finally nodded.

He knew what this meant, but he knew even more what it meant to Karen.

Little did he know that he would regret this decision for the rest of his life.

...

Even his calm tone carried a hint of admiration; Void Treasury expressed his incomprehension of his actions.

“You know what, Otto… I’m sometimes really jealous of your sister.”

"I meticulously set so many traps for you back then, big and small, and you never fell into them—"

"—But all she did was hand you a shovel, how could you dig your own grave?"

"It is said that human emotions can make people lose their rationality; but what you did is indeed a bit unbelievable."

The Void and the Myriad Treasures have pondered this matter for a hundred times without finding a solution; it is something it still cannot comprehend.

Otto was as cunning as a devil in front of him.

However, the decision to hand the inheritance over to Lisa was a series of disastrous moves, which directly severed his original right to the inheritance.

Otto sighed softly, his eyes filled with longing and regret, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his handsome face.

"Try to put yourself in her shoes a little, you're a mysterious being. Besides closing my eyes and believing her... what other choice did I have back then?"

"Or, if you were willing to let me use the full power of the Divine Key at that time—in order to save her, I think you would agree to any other conditions on the spot, right?"

"Tsk. So it's all my fault? That's the real reason you've bound me for over five hundred years."

Void Treasury clicked its tongue, filled with unspeakable resentment and regret, but it was all in the past, and no matter how regrettable it was, it was no use.

"Oh, who knows?"

Otto chuckled and moved on from the matter.

"Anyway, neither of us can take a second chance, can we?"

[Hahaha—, Void Treasury worked hard its whole life, but it's not as good as someone else's casual bet.]

If Void Archives had been willing to lend Otto its power back then, he probably would have given anything for it. It's just a pity...

[He handed over a shovel, dug a grave, haha, quite vivid and descriptive]

[She took down the old fox first, isn't that something? Wasn't the other side paving the way for her?]

"So... what are they talking about?"

Kiana frowned. She really didn't know anything about this. Had she misunderstood history?

Furthermore, the political conflicts surrounding the Apocalypse family were not as intense and brutal as depicted in the game; however, this can be understood given the historical accounts.

“Perhaps it’s a little-known secret of destiny,” Bronya said with feigned seriousness.

"Uh... really?"

"Maybe."

Bronya snorted. As for whether it existed or not, she knew, of course, that it didn't exist in the Destiny Vault.

"Was it the Honkai Beast incident after that execution...?"

Kallen had a hunch, having long harbored suspicions about the Honkai Beast from that incident.

The place where Tianming was imprisoned was still some distance from the execution ground.
