Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

After Roland finished speaking, he looked at him for a moment, then casually opened the car door and looked away.

"Alright, get in the car."

"Ah."

...

Otto's plan could have been accomplished by himself, but it would have involved a complex and troublesome process. However, with Roland's intervention, Otto only needs to board the Thousand Worlds Vehicle to reach his desired location.

It's like having a ticket to your destination.

However, the passengers were not only Otto, but also Roland and Möbius.

The trip wasn't very long.

The car stopped shortly after Mebius had been pondering for a moment.

At this moment, the area outside the Thousand Realms One Journey has become a desolate wasteland, and in this wasteland, there is a golden tree that seems to be integrated with the world.

Otto and Roland exchanged a glance, Roland nodded to him, and then the Archbishop of Destiny got out of the car.

After he got off the car, Qianjie Yicheng disappeared immediately.

But Otto didn't care at all.

Since he had come all this way, he had no intention of going back.

With this thought in mind, even Otto closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze was incredibly firm, like a seeker walking in the desert, undeterred by storms or sandstorms.

Roland and Mebius did not leave.

Roland simply put away the Thousand Worlds One Vehicle, then hid in mid-air with Mebius, silently watching everything that was about to happen.

"He's actually going to do this...?"

Watching Otto stride toward the Imaginary Tree, even Mebius, unusually, didn't act sarcastic. Instead, he frowned, somewhat surprised and puzzled, but the mockery he had shown earlier was gone.

Now, Mebius also believes that Otto has no chance of succeeding.

But since Otto has come all this way, and since he has taken steps toward his goal, perhaps Mebius will laugh at him after his death, think that his self-destructive suicide is stupid, and think that what he did is meaningless. But at least when she is watching this moment, she will face it all directly.

"Yes."

Roland's gaze was also on Otto, but he also responded to Mebius's words.

"Otto is a complex character, yet also simple—he is the most idealistic, the most realistic, a hero, a villain, Caesar, Macbeth, he could even be Hamlet…"

Roland gave a long evaluation of Otto, then paused and made a simple summary.

"...He is someone who has made mistakes."

“I’ve already told you about his story. You know how important Saint Karen was to him. She was the first ray of light in his life. After he saw that light, he closed all the other windows. So after Saint Karen’s light went out, he became someone who lived in darkness, looking up at the gap where the light had once fallen.”

"If anyone thinks he just wants to resurrect Saint Karen, he'll probably just laugh at you and think you don't understand him or the Saint."

At this point, Roland also sighed.

Before Apocalypse said this, Roland had always believed that Otto's goal was to resurrect the saintess Kallen.

But Otto's reaction when he was questioned about this before Apocalypse said it all said it.

yes…

He may have had a lingering obsession, but even he himself has come to realize over the past few hundred years that it was just his own obsession.

Perhaps at the very beginning, when he arrived in Shenzhou carrying the coffin, he was still immersed in his obsession, thinking of making the best of a bad situation, thinking that he had already moved on from the day the saintess died, thinking that this time he would plan everything carefully, and that he would make the same mistake again...

But he no longer deceives himself.

—He had already realized this long ago!

Resurrecting Saintess Kallen... this is nothing more than repeating the same mistakes he made back then!

How similar they are...

When the Saintess was pushed onto the execution platform, he released Honkai Beasts to cause chaos, hoping to rescue her in the confusion. However, he was punched by the Saintess and became unable to move. He lay on the ground, shedding his last and most genuine tears, silently watching the Saintess die at the hands of the Honkai Beasts he had released.

Who killed the saintess?

Otto probably didn't care about this from the beginning, because he knew that whoever killed the saintess, he would definitely be an accomplice!

Now he has done all sorts of bad things and resurrected the saintess as a villain... How is this any different from before?

Even after being resurrected, the saintess will still punch him once, then silently go out to fight against the Honkai, make amends for the evil he committed, and finally... die because of it.

Otto had already figured it out.

The world has been like this since a certain point in time.

It kills heroes and feeds evil.

Therefore, this cruel cycle must be broken by this evil person!

Otto quickened his pace across the wasteland, and then, in front of him, a dark enemy crawled out from underground and blocked his way.

In Otto's hands, the Void Archives transformed into the Key of God, and Otto, the archbishop who rarely participated in battle plans, displayed unparalleled combat skills at this moment.

He can skillfully wield every Divine Key and deal with every enemy effectively.

Because he had been preparing for this for far too long...

So long that he once thought he had moved on from the day the saintess died, but when he came to his senses, he found himself still lying on that execution platform, still only able to watch the saintess die before his eyes—unable to do anything…

and so.

—He had already realized this long ago.

Countless enemies fell before Otto, but no matter how superb his combat skills were, Otto could not avoid being injured by these enemies.

Each enemy might only inflict minor damage that doesn't affect his overall health, but there are just too many enemies!

This road is too long, and there are too many things to overcome and too many obstacles to break through along the way!

but.

—He was already aware of this!

He'll defeat those who need to be defeated, and break through those who need to break through; he can endure his injuries...

He will never fall here!

So after Otto had killed all the enemies in front of him, even though his injuries were enough to knock him down, he still dragged his battered body toward the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

At that very moment, even Mebius, who was watching the game, pursed his lips.

Because behind Otto, in a place he couldn't see at the moment, a fallen Honkai Beast opened its mouth and spat out a long thorn that pierced Otto's heart from behind!

Otto's legs buckled as he was struck, and he fell backward. He swung his weak hand, like a drowning man trying to hold on to his last breath, but the long thorn pierced through him again. This time, it not only pierced through his body but also through his powerless hand!

The scene before Otto's eyes had become incredibly blurry.

Everything seemed to have sunk into darkness, except for the light emanating from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, which still shone brightly in his vision.

The radiance slowly turned white in Otto's vision, eventually transforming into the smiling face of the saintess.

Upon seeing the smiling face, Otto's eyes widened instantly. He desperately pushed his body, broke off the long spike piercing his body, and took another firm step forward!

Mebius watched all this, her eyes widening as she had initially thought Otto had failed.

She was extremely surprised to see Otto standing in front of the Imaginary Tree and touching it.

"How is this possible... He actually succeeded?"

Möbius said this, but when Roland looked in her direction, he noticed that the frown that had been on her face had relaxed at some point.

Indeed, the hardest substance in the world is very likely Möbius's mouth...

Roland thought this to himself, then let out a long breath, exhaling the jumbled thoughts along with the breath.

Otto was now radiating light.

Roland knew that Otto had reached the end of his life, but he was not sad for Otto, because... the brightest moment of his life was about to begin.

Since the light of Saint Karen was extinguished, he, who has never enjoyed light again, will transform himself into that long-extinguished light.

And this light will sever this erroneous cycle of reincarnation.

He will not resurrect Saint Karen.

He had no intention of saying goodbye to Saint Karen.

He wasn't even prepared to have a formal final meeting with Saint Karen.

He did not want to embrace the saint.

He just wanted to make amends for one mistake.

A mistake he has been unable to forgive for hundreds of years.

That's it!
