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

Once again, they tried to collaborate with the Herrscher of Reason, but once again, they were rejected.

In the company's dubbing studio,

“Otto Apocalypse, he really is a persistent ghost. I never thought that the Divine Keys he used would eventually turn into his likeness.”

Kiana was filled with emotion, then, remembering something, she rubbed her temples as if she had a headache and muttered, "Unbelievable, could there be more about him later in the story?"

Such an annoying person, yet he accomplished such a grand feat.

Even though he still loathed her, that feeling of disgust was mixed with other emotions after reading about his long yet short five hundred years of life.

As stated, it was nothing more than a selfish act, and it doesn't need the evaluation of later generations.

Similarly... I don't want anyone to continue doing evil in his image.

“Well…but in any case, Otto is indeed dead. Uh…there’s no need to look at me like that, isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”

Luo Mo gave an awkward laugh.

The scenery outside the window is beautiful, and the sunlight is dazzling.

"So... that's why so much champagne was brought out that day?!"

Su Luo couldn't help but sit up and interject.

A few scattered words drifted through the air; they were the voices of the Thousand Lawyers.

"Exactly! Even if we're just dolls, we have to condemn you!"

"Judgment—this man before us is guilty of heinous crimes."

"Well, it seems even the Herrscher of a Thousand can't stand it anymore,"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Luo Mo with a playful smile, her braids swaying behind her as she moved.

"I was just following everyone's opinion. I remember someone saying they hoped Otto would have a drink before he died."

Luo Mo remained stubborn.

"Yes, yes, you're the boss, you're right."

Su Luo rolled her eyes and said through gritted teeth.

What kind of boss would resort to such cruelty, even harming their own employees?

Didn't I always think we weren't all on the same side? Oh right, the bell pepper curry incident was a precedent.

Su Luo recalled her past experiences, and even her usually gentle eyes turned fierce as she stared intently at Luo Mo.

"So, will Otto have an encore later on?"

Bronya tugged at Luo Mo's sleeve, signaling him to look down at her.

"Hmm... A person's existence cannot be easily erased or eliminated, especially someone like Otto. In the days to come, you may see this old friend quite a few times, perhaps in your memories, perhaps in people or things related to him, or even in a clone of him, it's all possible."

Luo Mo answered the other party's question indirectly, since he never liked to reveal everything.

This means we won't be able to gather everyone's emotions, which is a sad thing. Just like Alicia, who now knows the truth, probably won't make any bets with him anymore.

This is really a headache.

He really wanted to see Alicia cry, especially when it was because of a tear-jerking plot point.

"...What about Bronya when she grows up? When will she appear?"

She tilted her head back, blinked her light gray eyes, her face barely showing any emotion, but you could tell she cared, and asked the question that concerned her most.

"Ah, this..." Luo Mo didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"What? Bronya participated in the voice acting, so she should have some appearances, right? It seems like... it was when Mei-neechan's side was having a bad time."

She scanned the other person's face and began to have a vague guess.

Could it be... that I'm going to stop updating on my own?

The secrecy was so good that even she hadn't seen the actual character portrait. Well, that's not quite right either; she did catch a glimpse, but she always felt it was fake, and she couldn't even be sure it was her.

Therefore... she would prefer to confirm this from an official source.

"Ahem—, you'll see soon enough."

For the sake of his excellent and responsible employee, Bronya, Lomo made reasonable concessions.

After all, they were already so familiar with each other, it wouldn't be good to keep making excuses. More importantly, he decided to increase Ya Ya's favorability.

When she discovers that her strength eight years in the future, without Honkai energy, is actually weaker than it is now, she'll definitely start to think about other things...

For example, what exactly did the boss mean when he said that?

"……it is good."

Bronya pursed her lips, somewhat surprised by the other party's final choice, and didn't add a comment that things would get even more interesting later.

She just wanted to confirm the image she saw and calm her restless heart.

...

St. Freya, in the villa

“The vastness of the void… I thought he was really coming back.”

Karen shrugged, gave a listless smile, her eyes still deep and nostalgic.

She missed her comrade-in-arms, that great inventor, but she also clearly understood one thing—he was gone.

His soul slumbers on the island of graves, and the cause he fought for throughout his life has come to its final chapter.

He has achieved everything he could in life.

Therefore, he will have no reason to appear again.

Especially in a world without Karen.

"However, at this moment, I remembered what Otto meant when he said that without the Void Treasury, there would be one less problem."

Karen sighed, but her expression remained calm, with a hint of a smile.

She merely recalled their last meeting, a few words exchanged, ordinary events lingering in her heart.

And his words were always correct, always so insightful.

The vast emptiness in his world became a problem.

"I never expected the Key of God to cause trouble. It actually developed self-awareness? Sigh, I wonder when my Judas will develop self-awareness and be able to help me with official business?"

Theresa glanced at her old friend; the cross still leaned quietly against the corner wall, bathed in sunlight.

If Judas were conscious, the first thing he would do would be to replace this useless headmaster.

Compared to the headmistress who only knows how to act cute, Judas, who is both good at fighting and handling affairs, is clearly more in line with St. Freya's requirements for the headmistress position.

"Should we be careful, Grandma?" Theresa asked, turning her head to the side.

"...Theoretically speaking, it should be..., but this world no longer has the Void Treasury, and even the core has been shattered in two."

Karen poked her granddaughter's head with her index finger as a reminder.

In a way... it removed a major problem for Theresa's later rule, making her political career much smoother.

"Oh. Right, I'd forgotten about that."

Theresa nodded as if she understood, then tossed aside the pillow she'd been hugging and leaned back. "So there doesn't seem to be anything interesting going on after this. It's just fighting the Void Treasury and defeating those extraterrestrial beings. Let's just speed up the plot!"

"Besides the battle scenes, it's also particularly interesting."

She giggled, and in the scene, Mei's figure danced with lightning in the air, sizzling as she passed through the monster's body, making for a very exciting gameplay experience.

"...Then, let's try the final battle. However, there's a level restriction. The game does offer an option to remove the restriction, but the battles will be even more difficult later on, Theresa. Let's see how you play!"

Karen smiled and handed over the operating permissions to Theresa, watching the other woman's eager yet hesitant expression.

"Hmph—I've always played with Cecilia! She's so good, I'm not far behind!"

Theresa said confidently.

And then... the final battle began.

During their exploration, the three of them stepped onto the steps leading to the rather eye-catching aerial city, which Carol named the Asura City.

At the end, a long-awaited voice rang out; the Void Treasury had been waiting for a long time.

They even thoughtfully drove away all the enemies blocking their way, because... they helped them find the most crucial key: the power of the Herrscher of Reason.

Just as Otto initially extended an invitation to the Herrscher of Reason, the Void Archives also urgently needs the help of this power.

Although... they all received rejections.

so what?

So what?

He still got what he needed most.

Chapter 53 Boss Battle - Burn It All!! (5k)

But as they say... being cool only lasts three seconds.

"Ah—, how could this be... I lost."

Theresa's dejected posture, bent forward, came into view, her limbs sprawled on the sofa in humiliation, ashamed to face her grandmother.

I was defeated outright! Damn it!

Under the verbal harassment of Void Treasury, and with the servant of Lucani, the three warriors controlled by Theresa—Mei, Adam, and Carol—were quickly cut down by the enemy.

A provocative window popped up on the screen—"Explore the area ahead later."

These were probably words that silently mocked the fact that she was bad at the game.

Under a blood-red sky, Theresa suffered a narrow defeat on the battlefield.

Games are all about talent. Just like Theresa couldn't break through the encirclement no matter what she did, in the company on the other side, the control equipment had been rationally handed over to Bronya. Luo Mo removed the level restrictions on the plot, but the difficulty increased dramatically in the process.

This is really unfair to players with poor hand skills.

At least for Kiana, who was filled with resentment, she was still unconvinced.
