[“The world allows consciousness to match new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness.”]

Otto casually tossed aside the Void Treasury, then gripped the Mimicry Heavenly Fire Greatsword and walked step by step toward the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

"To save her, my only one, I can only... create new possibilities in the past."

Otto placed his hand on the trunk of the Imaginary Tree, and in the next moment, a new branch grew and took shape.

Seeing this, Otto finally smiled: "This other future will be... her own time and space."

[Star: They've started playing music! It's getting exciting!]

[March 7th: This transition is amazing—you then, me now.]

[Theresa: This time, Grandpa can finally fight alongside Kallen.]

Chapter 143 Farewell, Great Inventor (4k)

[Paimon: That was close! I almost thought Otto was going to fail.]

[Fu Hua: Otto is cautious his whole life, but even someone as cautious as him forgot to finish off the enemy in a situation like this. He's really impatient.]

[Star: Ugh! Unpleasant memories suddenly flooded back!]

The way Otto and Kallen were pierced looked exactly like fireflies.

[Black Tower: Regardless, Otto has ultimately won. New branches will grow and flourish on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers in the future.]

[Theresa: ...But Grandpa's branches won't grow anymore.]

[Silver Wolf: I feel like that giant Honkai Beast is about to vomit; why is it so hard to get that last drop of blood down?]

[Ying: They've even brought out the flashbacks, how could we possibly lose!]

[Narcissus: 500 years have passed, and Otto can never forget the way Karen smiled at him.]

[Aha: One more look at you, and the flame of faith is rekindled.]

[Fireworks: The Honkai Beast only pierced Otto's body, not smashed his speakers, which is why he lost.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Ha, that Void Archive guy, he said he "escaped" from Otto's control, but it turns out Otto just tossed it away casually.]

He thought that the Void Treasury had been biding its time for five hundred years, and finally seized the opportunity when Otto was preoccupied, slipping out of his grasp and escaping the fate of being destroyed along with Otto. It was an extremely close and thrilling escape.

But in reality—Otto: didn't care at all, and just tossed it aside.

[Star: Haha, anyway, all the people involved are dead, so no matter how much we exaggerate, it won't be exposed.]

[Xiangling: I'm a little curious how the Void Treasury got out.]

[Hu Tao: How else can you get out? Go back home.]

[March 7th: Haha, a golden cube rolled home side by side, it's kind of funny.]

[Kiana: If Otto had kept even a Soul Steel body, things wouldn't be like this.]

[Void Treasury: That's not how I left at all!]

[Otto: Don't say that about my old buddy; he was the one who delivered the final blow.]

[Void Treasury: Tch, this is the last time I'll help you.]

[Wendy: Void Repository, you're still so arrogant.]

Five hundred years ago, everything came to a standstill the moment Otto touched the Imaginary Tree. The golden barrier surrounding Krosten shattered, and the blade that pierced Kallen and the wound that pierced her body vanished.

Although she didn't understand what had happened, Kallen pushed the Honkai Beast away and protected the child behind her.

At the same time, Otto gripped the Mimicry: Judgment of Heavenly Fire tightly in his hand, transforming into a shooting star as he descended towards the location where Kallen had died, a place he remembered from his memories.

[The heavenly fire reduced the Honkai Beast that Otto had personally released to ashes, and Otto's body finally shattered.]

A soft whisper reached Karen's ears—

"Karen, live on."

Karen whirled around, but all she could see were streaks of shooting stars falling from the sky; she couldn't find the great inventor anywhere.

This is the most selfish thing a person can do.

[Kevin: He succeeded, but at the cost of everything.]

[Star: Otto was smiling at the end. Quack! Pure love is shining in his eyes.]

[Otto: I would rather be a shooting star falling to earth, so that she can shine like a new star in the sky.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd Himeko: 500 years have passed, and Otto still remembers the location where Kallen died; he has never forgotten the coordinates of Kallen's sacrifice.]

[Paimon: Why did Otto choose to arrive at this moment? Couldn't he have chosen many other points in time to save Kallen?]

[Jing Yuan: Because only at this moment could Otto truly save Kallen. Before the Honkai Beasts appeared, Kallen willingly went to the execution platform; she willingly went to die. Even if Otto directly dealt with the Honkai Beasts for her, she would still choose to go to the execution platform to die.]

[Walter Yang (Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway): Indeed, before this moment, Kallen's thoughts were somewhat naive. Only at the moment of execution, when Kallen was willing to sacrifice her life to awaken the people and fight against the coercion of fate, did she complete her transformation and truly grow into that saint. When she rushed off the execution platform to protect the people, risking her life, Kallen Kaslana completed her own metamorphosis and truly grew into that saint.]

[(Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway) Welt Yang: Only in this way can Otto entrust everything to Kallen without worry, because at that time she is not just a saint, but also a true savior. Knowing the information Otto risked his life to bring back, she will no longer be lost.]

The song begins: "The past is too long, but memories are too short?"

"So many words have been left behind, yet so few have been widely read?"

[The scene on the screen changes; under the shade of a tree, a blond boy and a white-haired girl laugh as they release paper airplanes.]

"Between heaven and earth, all living beings bustle about, following the course of time?"

The blond boy chased after the airplane in the sky, but when he turned around, the white-haired girl had already disappeared from his sight.

"Many dreams, but only one waking reality?"

The paper airplane continues to fly in the sky, and Otto's life continues to move forward.

"Choose one, and the others cease to exist?"

He picked up the dead Karen, he killed his own sister, he studied Eleanor's corpse, and he transformed into a Rakshasa and took Li Sushang away.

"Amidst the chaos of life, where is a place of peace?"

He spoke with Walter Joyce, watched as A-310 abandoned its attempt to kill A-303, put on the clown mask, and stopped Siegfried and Walter Young.

He conversed with the Honkai Will, saw K-423 open her eyes in the incubation chamber, and witnessed her growth. He made a deal with Kevin, resigned from his position as bishop, and carried out his plan to its conclusion.

"Is the epitaph too short, and this life too long?"

The paper airplane finally landed on the ground. Otto picked it up and looked up at the starry sky.

Among the countless stars, two glittered exceptionally bright, yet they were separated by the entire Milky Way.

"A single drop of water would suffice, yet I still wish to envelop the world in my thoughts. Is the eulogy over?"

"I have left this place I have lingered in for so long, and you too will unfold your folded path once more?"

"The end, returns to the beginning?"

A shooting star streaks across the sky. Beneath that familiar tree, the Fool and the Saintess sit hand in hand by the campfire, nestled together as they drift off to sleep.

[Star: The disc has been changed! The disc has been changed!]

[Funinga: After listening to this song and looking at these scenes, I feel like the element of water is starting to fill the air.]

[Hanabi: No way? You really cried?]

[Furina: Guh! You brat!]

[Aha: Otto embodies many repulsive qualities: complacency, evil, affectation, and greed.]

[Aha: He was so complacent that he believed he could reverse the tragedy that had already occurred, and so greedy that he wanted to offer his heart with blood-stained hands in exchange for the return of that pure and innocent girl.]

[Aha: He lost on the stage he built for himself, and died in the script he wrote for himself—a dramatic ending, wasn't it?]

[Sambo: It seems you really like him.]

[Aha: How could I not burst out laughing after seeing this?]

[Su: In all the timelines, there was no branch where Kallen would survive, so Otto chose to sacrifice himself, turning into a shooting star to create a unique timeline where only Kallen exists.]

[Su: What he wanted wasn't to be with Karen; he just wanted Karen to live on in the future he had created for her with his life.]

[Padoflis: I understand. Karen died at the root of the tree branch, and Karen will die on every branch that grows from that branch. Otto used his power to completely open a new branch.]

[Alicia: Hehe, Little Paddo understands very well.]

[Wendy: Despite claiming to be a fool and a sentimental person, she suppressed her entire self with reason until the end of her life.]

[Zhongli: A beloved bishop of destiny, yet also a clown whose crimes are beyond description. Perhaps only a wordless tombstone can truly capture his life as a "fool." The answer to the question has already been settled within Otto's 500 years of life.]

[Otto: How many evil deeds must a person commit to bring her back to dawn from the depths of hell? How far must a person travel to find their original self at the end of time?]

He finally rediscovered his original self at the end of time, bringing her dawn in the darkness.

He doesn't need anyone to judge his merits and demerits; he needs anyone to mourn and sigh or hate him.

He understood these principles better than anyone else; he simply chose to fight for the good in his world, and he simply felt that she was more important than the world itself.

[Ying: Rest in peace, great inventor.]

[Paimon: No, Otto isn't dead yet!]

[Kiana: After watching this video, I feel I understand the existence of the Ship's accomplices more and more.]

[Sino: The Way of the Warriors is magnificent!]

[Kujo Sara:?]

The wind traveled through still time. The man's consciousness had faded, but his last words still echoed in the still wind.

[?: "That's the story. I went to the future, a long, long time from now, and experienced all sorts of amazing adventures. Finally, I have the opportunity to tell you the truth about the world like this."]

"Don't worry. This time, everything will change because of you."

"Just like a long, long time ago, you changed a certain boy."

["It was a spring morning... He, who was disliked by everyone, foresaw you climbing over the wall. You greeted him warmly and invited him to play with you."]

"And at that very moment—this young man found redemption for his entire life."

Karen remained silent for a long time: "...Farewell, my great inventor."
