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

"Hey, don't mention me. Look at the plot. I didn't expect Otto to appear again 8 years later. He's still alive."

Alicia tried to change the subject, and sighed with some emotion.

Even now, she can still accurately recall Otto, who spanned two worlds. His meeting with Kallen was unforgettable... He deceived everyone, the gods and their messengers, the hero and her companions, in exchange for a world that included her.

But now, he, who should have been dead, has reappeared before everyone.

It couldn't possibly be an oversight by the producer, which makes one ponder the meaning behind it.

“Otto, the person in front of you is not Otto, but just his imitator or forger.”

Kevin said calmly, with absolute certainty.

"Looks like our leader has finally spoken~ But why, Kevin~?"

"Because he has fulfilled all his wishes, he will choose to remain in his grave, or even go to the world where Karen exists to watch silently, rather than seek resurrection and cause trouble."

That was never his wish.

Kevin answered without hesitation.

It seemed to be another answer from him.

"Speaking of which... confining 99% of the Honkai energy to the moon... doesn't seem like a good option. It's more like... continuing our approach. Didn't we trap some of the Honkai energy on the moon?"

The few words that Vervière mentioned in her reflections were very enlightening for her.

"Very disappointed?"

Möbius raised an eyebrow.

She said calmly, looking out the window at the distant sky, "No, if the direction is the same, it makes me feel even more regretful and unable to accept the fact that we failed."

"I have to say, it was somewhat frustrating."

...

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much of a development in the story of Otto, the former bishop who left such a prominent mark on the previous page of history.

After a faint crackling sound, communication fell silent.

Mei has no choice but to explore this unknown city and uncover the truth.

They will search for information about Walter in this city that has fallen, now teeming with strange and unheard-of monsters, and gradually unravel the mystery.

The first thing to deal with is the kid, Joyce, who just jumped out of the trunk.

It's hard not to acknowledge the immense hurt that Walter and Tesla's relationship with Mei, and the fact that he called Mei "Auntie of My Life," caused her.

Joyce's appearance made Anti-Entropy uneasy. They could easily confirm Joyce's identity as a clone, and were even more certain of... the undeniable relationship between Walter and Tesla.

But the plot didn't wait, nor did it focus on him.

It was the appearance of the last team member—Carol, the girl who was constantly mentioned by the protagonists Adam and Mei. They were worried about her mischievousness and unreliability, but they also trusted her abilities.

And her fighting style... was actually through a pair of enormous fists.

The conversation in the video does indeed confirm her relationship with Lewis. Although it was somewhat rude, it has to be said... thankfully she doesn't resemble her mother much.

Carol always seemed full of energy, calling Adam and Mei "senpai" and enjoying cracking jokes.

Her skin was somewhat dark, her short white hair was very neat in battle, and her apricot-yellow pupils were always full of smiles. In battle, she always rushed in front of the monsters to block their attacks.

The giant fist weapon, which she calls Michiu Pillow No. 4, has a cute name that doesn't match its ferocious appearance, but it's quite adept at breaking shields.

The three-person team had complementary personalities, and with an extra member who brought joy, they were even more motivated to explore.

The exploration of Saint Fontaine thus unfolded in full swing.

The movements of Otto and the celestial beings are gradually revealed to the players.

Even after the collapse ended, the world did not find peace.

Chapter 52 The Hidden Treasures Behind the Scenes

Speaking of which, the people in the Golden Garden had some opinions on the appearance of those enemies and monsters, and on Mei's contemplation about monsters imitating humans.

Or rather, they had seen something similar before.

"Hey, Gretchen, did you draw those monsters?"

After a moment of silence, Mebius asked the blue-haired girl beside him a question.

This time, however, she wasn't engrossed in drawing. She looked at the screen, quietly sipping a cup of milk tea, her bare feet gently swaying in mid-air, her sky-blue coat wrapped around her body, looking extremely serene.

Some say that Greta is like a mirror, reflecting oneself in her eyes.

Mebius didn't think so, but the other party was indeed a blank slate, and she needed to be careful to keep her distance at all times... Otherwise, she was afraid that the other party would turn into something like the Paradise side story.

Or perhaps it's the lines from the already released characters like Sister Grey and Valkyrie.

Paintbrushes, submit to me! Accept these paints with gratitude.

Such remarks are truly infuriating.

She was secretly dissatisfied, all because Raiden Mei/Alicia had corrupted Gretchen!

"So cute! I really want to know what Gretsch will look like when she grows up!"

Alicia pinched Gretchen's cheek.

“Grandma Möbius, I drew this. Have you forgotten? I’m in charge of drawing at the company.”

Greta paused her milk tea and said to Mebius with a serious expression.

“No, Gretchen, that’s not what I’m asking.”

Möbius, somewhat exasperated, retorted to Gretsch's words, her eyes fixed intently on Gretsch as she asked, "I'm asking you... do you think you've drawn anything similar to the monsters in there before?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Gretchen looked at Mebius and said, then lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Don't worry, Grandma Mebius, Kosmo has been taking good care of the paintings for me and won't let them escape."

"..."

Möbius's brows were already furrowed. With Kosmo watching over her... she was even more worried.

There are no Kosmos on interstellar travel.

But the extraterrestrials... well, whether they're related or not, they don't seem particularly intelligent.

It won't be much more than the current Honkai.

Just a casual question.

...

After experiencing a series of setbacks, they finally found Walter.

At this time, Welt is better known to the public as the producer of Arahatto than as the First Herrscher.

After Mei's persuasion, he agreed to take Joyce and leave the area first.

But just as they stepped onto the train, under the eerie, dense clouds outside the window, Walter stroked Joyce's head and looked out, perhaps lamenting in his heart that this world was no longer the battlefield where he could roam freely.

Even though he was good at sit-ups, he was already at the age where he should retire from the battlefield.

But then, a familiar voice appeared.

A hand gently rested on his shoulder, just like the old friend he had faced many years ago, as the two looked at each other in the biting wind.

"Hello, old friend, isn't this a coincidence?"

His long, blond hair cascaded down his back, and his white robes were adorned with intricate patterns of gold thread, exuding solemnity and nobility. It was still that handsome face I remembered; a slight smile played on his lips, and his fingers, gleaming with a metallic sheen, caressed Walter's shoulder.

Once again, you refused my invitation; once again, you came before me.

"How could you..."

Walter reached up and adjusted his glasses, his pupils filled with horror.

"There is a task for you to complete, a victory awaits your conquest. Consider it: you and I, let's join hands and drive out the Honkai..."

He spoke softly, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery and complete control, just as always.

In his distinctive tone, he calmly recounted events that could change the world.

"After all... look, at a distance that even humans can easily reach, civilization's greatest enemy is sealed away? Who would believe that?"

The elegant blond man raised his glass, the delicate orange-yellow liquid swirling within the crystal-clear glass. He smiled gently and advised Walter, "This isn't expulsion, it's escape. True expulsion means farewell forever."

"And now... I need your power, First... Herrscher..."

"..."

Walter simply shook his head slowly at an angle invisible to the naked eye, adjusted his glasses, and said, "I must refuse."

After all, he was just a coward who had to hide his true identity and even pretend to be a dead person.

Walter naturally had his own rational judgment.

However, Joyce, who was standing to the side, seemed to have encountered a slight mishap, displaying a sense of oppression due to gravity... that is, another Herrscher of Reason.

This attracted Otto's full attention.

He slowly shifted his gaze to the cloned boy, a mixture of doubt and surprise in his eyes. "...Oh? Another First Herrscher?"

Meanwhile, Mei's trio gradually uncovers the secrets of the city and the ever-mysterious former Archbishop of Schicksal.

They seem to be getting closer to the truth.

At three or four locations visited by 'Otto', they found some golden fragments and fluctuations of Divine Key energy, or possibly fluctuations of Herrscher energy.

But now, there are no remaining unknown Herrschers.

Therefore, considering the other party's familiarity with Otto, the other party's identity is obvious.

—The First Key of God, the Key of Revelation, the Treasury of the Void.

A divine key that disappeared long ago, even though there were some speculations during the post-Honkai reconnaissance, everyone agreed that it must have been lost in the space that Otto took away.

But now, it has appeared in an unknown city, in front of everyone, and has made contact with a new enemy.

Even in death, there are still people who prove I live. — Otto Apocalypse

As time passed, the once unruly Void Treasury took on the shape of Otto.
