[Theresa: Grandpa...]

Upon hearing Otto's last words, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Although Otto did many wrong things and committed many crimes, he truly regarded Theresa as his granddaughter and loved her with all his heart.

Like Durandal, Otto could not forgive Theresa for what he had done to her. But she would not forget Otto's love for Theresa either.

[Otto: Don't be sad for me—shouldn't all the bad guys die at the end of a story?]

[Silver Wolf: Through his own efforts, he forcibly created a new server for the world in just 500 years. That's impressive.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Sigh, perhaps Father Otto in that bubble world was the person Otto was meant to be.]

[Tesla: I never expected Otto to say these things before he died... Is this a case of "the dying man's words are kind"?]

[Tesla: Sigh, I hate Otto, but seeing him die this way makes me inexplicably less happy.]

[Aha: Otto didn't die. He just changed his clothes and went to the Genshin Impact set to work as a magistrate.]

[Fireworks: Aren't you going to be a merchant at the Starry Sky Railway film set?]

[Wendy: In any case, the current civilization defeated the Herrscher of Binding without paying a huge price. Kallen was successfully resurrected, and Otto fulfilled his wish. They all have bright futures.]

[Walnut: I don't think the future of Honkai Impact 3rd is very bright.]

[Dr. May: Prometheus stole fire from the gods...]

I have a feeling that Otto knows about their plan.

However, this kind of thing seems quite normal to this person.

[The scene shifts to a blood-red land filled with broken walls and ruins. A blond man staggers forward, his destination the golden tree in the distance that seems to pierce through the heavens and earth.]

This man was Otto. He was so weak that he looked as if he might collapse at any moment, yet he continued to move forward.

The bottom of the screen clearly displays Otto's current health: 1/1000.

Otto began to mutter to himself, "Life... it really is a fragile thing."

"When I was little, my older sister died in battle..."

As he spoke, his legs buckled, and he almost fell, but Otto quickly recovered, stood up again, and continued forward.

Otto: "They told me that her soul is immortal and her spirit will ascend to heaven."

He sighed: "Generation after generation, humanity has always been happy to deceive itself with such lies. Believing in the so-called afterlife, believing in the eternity of consciousness."

"They pretended that death didn't exist... until death suddenly invaded their lives and befell their loved ones."

"Even at times like these, they will go to great lengths to deceive themselves—believing that love can transcend all things, and firmly believing that affection can be eternal."

[Black Tower: This is... the Imaginary Tree! He really did it!]

Although the appearance of the Imaginary Tree was very shocking, everyone's eyes were now on the Fool who was moving forward.

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Saying that the deceased have simply gone to live happily in another world is just self-deception.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Most people chose to give up under self-deception, but Otto was more persistent than them.]

[Kevin: …]

To be honest, he was a little envious of Otto.

[Theresa: This is the first time I've ever seen a grandfather like this.]

In her memory, her grandfather had always been so powerful, but now he was covered in scars and incredibly fragile.

[Paimon: Only 1 HP left! I have a feeling Otto won't make it to the Imaginary Tree. When he stumbled, I thought he wouldn't be able to stand up.] *Sigh*

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: No, he can do it; his will sustains him.]

This is the only time, really the only time. If he had the ability, he would be willing to fully restore Otto's health.

[Sino: Only one drop of blood left, like a candle flickering in the wind, but we're safe!]

[Aha: Long press the screen to speed up Otto.]

Otto's soliloquy continued: "Indeed... love, and even broader emotions, can bring about miracles... but the creator of miracles can only be the one who is alive at that moment."

"As an ordinary person who was once deceived by them... I also fantasized that the human soul exists in a higher dimension; I fantasized that one day, my loved one could return to the world in a new body and live a better future."

His voice trembled with emotion: "Unfortunately, the rules of the world are not like that..."

"Death is indeed the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything—we cannot continue the starlight that has already faded away."

"Unless... we reverse time, awaken the silent island of graves, and re-infuse the evergreen waters of life into the past that buried everything."

"The path of division will unfold once more there, and the choice between life and death will create two separate worlds."

"And the price... is nothing more than one person's death, one person's destruction... and the [Honkai] that originally intended to kill us."

Otto sighed deeply: "Unfortunately, by the time Otto Apocalypse grasped this truth, he was already a notorious villain."

His tone was full of self-mockery: "He was already utterly hated by the very power he needed most."

"However, it really doesn't matter. [She] truly proved that anger born of love can possess the same power as love itself."

[Honkai Impact 3rd Himeko: The power I need most... I'm talking about Kiana, isn't it?]

[Otto: Yes... unfortunately, I realized it too late.]

If he had understood that principle sooner, his plan would have been much easier to complete.

However, even so, Kiana might still come to stop him at the end of the plan.

Presumably, at that time, she made this choice not out of anger over Himeko's death, but simply because she didn't want the bishop who had nurtured her to leave this world.

[Zhongli: Love can create miracles. Kiana is a miracle created by love, and so is Otto.]

[Yae no Miko: A villain who firmly believes in love and justice, huh? That's rare indeed.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Otto always knew what he was doing, but he wouldn't turn back.]

He hated Otto, but there was at least one thing he had to admit—Otto had truly transformed this imperfect world into the one he desired.

[Alicia: Love... Why haven't the Herrschers of our era developed humanity because of love?]

[Otto: "And behind such a hero—Theresa, my dear granddaughter, you are growing into a great leader… In time, you will make people forget your grandfather, and let his merits and demerits be buried in history and disappear as mere gossip."]

"But...you should eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon occasionally. You're always staying up late; your body needs a wider variety of nutrients."

"You know... for tomorrow's coronation ceremony, Grandpa personally sewed you the archbishop's robe... If you won't mind, then use it to begin your era. Wash away the stains Grandpa left on it."

"...Theresa, my [old friends], the Crimson Lotus Sage, the Herrscher of Reason...they are truly good people, and they will definitely help you forge your own path."

[Theresa: Grandpa!]

Hearing Otto's words, she broke down in tears.

Grandpa had taught her that if she slept, the food would be ready, but Theresa knew that this time, no matter how long she slept, the food would never be ready again…

[Sambo: Otto gazes at you tenderly, saying nothing more.]

[Zhongli: If Otto was speaking before, then it's just a grandfather speaking now.]

[Hanabi: On the day you were born, the entire Destiny organization whispered this name—Theresa.]

[Hanabi: My child, I watch you grow up proudly, becoming the Bishop of Schicksal. Remember, we have always fought against the Honkai with wisdom and strength, and I believe you will use your powerful abilities wisely.]

[Fireworks: But true victory lies in inspiring the hearts of the people. One day my life will reach its final end, and you will become the Bishop of Destiny.]

[Fireworks: There must be one, the Destiny Bishop!]

[Silver Wolf: You know what, it actually suits you quite well.]

[Rita: His Holiness the Bishop's last act of kindness was indeed reserved for Theresa.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Otto's feelings are really complicated...]

Although Otto loved Theresa very much, Theresa might have really died if Himeko hadn't been there when the Queen descended.

Otto did not treat Theresa as a substitute or an emotional crutch; his feelings were genuine, but that did not prevent him from taking advantage of those around him.

[Aha: Otto is human too; humans can't be without feelings. Rather, humanity itself is a contradictory existence.]

[Tesla: To be honest, this is the first time I've heard Otto say something so humane.]

She thought Otto would only think of Karen in the end, but she didn't expect him to think of others as well.

[Wendy: Maybe one day people will forget Otto, but Theresa will never forget him.]

[Star: The thread in the loving father's hand, the clothes on the wanderer's back.]

[Jingyuan: This can be considered the final gift from the warrior of pure love.]

[Herrscher of Knowledge: As long as Otto lives, Theresa will always be a child.]

[Aha: She may not have a grandfather, but she still has me.]

[Black Tower: You've truly inherited Otto's skills, haven't you?]

Otto: "And [Bianca], my last student... I manipulated your life, planned your destiny, showing you genuine care and nurturing while using you as a pawn to exploit at will."

"Do you know... everything I showed you in these last ten years was just so that after I vanish into nothingness, someone could erect a wordless monument for me."

"I don't need anyone to judge me... After all, these five hundred years, both long and short, were nothing more than what a man could give for his own wishful thinking."

"He has now reached the end of his journey—what he was meant to accomplish, what he was meant to witness, what he was meant to redeem… all of it has taken root in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, awaiting only the lost messenger to deliver the final message before all is over."

"That moment, neither too early nor too late, will become a requiem that transcends death, a hymn to the arrival of miracles."

"The world will turn for one person at that moment... Let the imposed sins vanish, let the ended will continue forward."

"Despicable acts will be buried with me; light will shine into the future because of you."

Chapter 142 Thus Spoke Apocalypse (4k)

Otto let out a final sigh: "...I fooled my friends, I fooled my loved ones, I fooled the world and the rules governing it... all to give that one true you a second life."

"I'm back... Karen."
