Obtained Mark - Main. King of Fear (cont.)

If he doesn't awaken the Herrscher of the Void and flies away, and starts killing people everywhere, who's responsible?

I had previously reviewed the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void storyline and found that whenever Herrscher of the Void was not stopped, something would happen to the Schicksal Headquarters.

Rita can't beat Herrscher of the Void, Fu Hua, even crippled, can't beat Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void. Sylvanas was ordered by Otto not to intervene, and she really didn't. The probability of Schicksal Headquarters being destroyed and other innocent civilians being killed in this mess is extremely high.

Theresa is indeed the Branch Leader of Schicksal, but the organization's responsibility is to fight against the Honkai Schicksal.

Now that the boss has gone mad and resurrected the Herrscher, even reviving the Herrscher Persona, she's rushing over with her troops to save people in order to prevent the Herrscher from causing even greater disaster.

Even if Theresa and Himeko have their own selfish motives in this storyline, it doesn't prevent their actions from being justified—it's perfectly normal for subordinates to defect when the boss is causing trouble.

Okay, let's go back to chapter 73.

Because the protagonist of my book is different from the protagonist of my previous book. Although both of them eventually become high-ranking members of Schicksal, Ji Ran joined Schicksal midway through the process.

He was parachuted into the upper echelons, unlike Lin Yu, who rose from the bottom.

Lin Yu is someone who has witnessed the hellish battlefields at the bottom of society. When writing about characters who act as members of Schicksal, I will inevitably put myself in Lin Yu's shoes to see things from his perspective.

Then I discovered another problem...

Who exactly saved this world?

First Kiana, then the main characters, and then what?

Kevin counts as one, and while some people might not agree with Old Yang, I think he does.

Then Otto is mentioned, and statements like "Without Otto, humanity would have been wiped out by the Honkai Disease long ago," "Without Otto, humanity wouldn't have survived for the next 500 years," and "Otto has protected the world for 500 years" are made.

It's so utterly nonsensical that I don't even need to refute it.

After all, in the eyes of this group, humans are like a bunch of useless trash. If they leave Otto, they will be seized by other ambitious high-ranking officials and then killed.

Hehe, laughing.

These baseless rumors have led to the widespread dissemination of the "Otto the Savior" theory.

The problem is, as I said before, it's fine for others to write Otto according to their own fan Otto, but is it wrong for me to write Otto according to the original Otto's actions?

Who was the person who protected the world in the original story?

Aren't Schicksal all the knights and Valkyrie who have been risking their lives on the front lines? Aren't they the logistics and research personnel who have been working tirelessly in the rear to fight against the Honkai?

Everyone says that Otto was a good mentor and a good commander, so Otto saved the world. I wonder if people say that without considering the original setting?

The setting explicitly mentions that Otto allowed the Honkai to Honkai, and also says something else—whoever realizes that "he is allowing the Honkai to continue" will be killed or tortured to death.

Maki and Siegfried, mentioned in this setting, both belong to this type of person.

Of course, in 2018, some settings of the Second Honkai Eruption were changed after the manga version came out. The story that Otto deliberately killed Cecilia to force Siegfried to rebel has been changed to that Siegfried Otto afraid of Siegfried's power, so he threw away the fission bomb and killed Cecilia.

If anyone here wants to say, "Oh, Otto never intended to kill Cecilia," I suggest you think about Cecilia, who loves Siegfried. When she discovered that Otto was going to kill her husband, would she choose to run away or use her last strength to protect Siegfried?

From the moment Otto decided to finish Cecilia off with the fission bomb, it was already destined that he would kill her—does anyone really want to emphasize this to whitewash Otto?

Of course, going back to the previous setting, even if Siegfried were removed from this setting, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Let's talk about something using the character of Maki, whose reputation is so bad that he deserves it.

However, there will be special cases where some people become aware of the problem.

For example, high-ranking scientists from Schicksal who are also deeply involved in Honkai Energy research, or other figures at the heart of the organization.

They will gradually realize that Schicksal has intentionally avoided the key aspects of eliminating the Honkai in certain situations.

But often, before they fully discover the truth, Otto will use methods to eliminate these hidden dangers.

She secretly encouraged Dr. Mags's granddaughter to participate in experiments, resulting in her death in front of the doctor, which led to Dr. Mags's betrayal of the organization.

The above is the original text of Honkai 3rd. It can be said that even someone like Maki, who might have realized the truth, would be killed by Otto.

Here we must mention something: most people who are able to realize the truth are high-end elites [if you are not elite, you are actually safer].

Why do I say that?

You're not an elite; Otto is just trying to trick you into going to your death.

Oh, if anyone thinks that "Lord Otto is training anti- Honkai warriors for the world and he has made great contributions", then I think there is something I must mention.

Otto is absolutely right in training anti- Honkai warriors; in fact, there's solid factual support for the claim that Otto is "preparing" to wipe out the Honkai.

But the problem lies in the mess he made before he killed the Honkai: on the one hand, he trained his subordinates to fight the Honkai, and on the other hand, he secretly let the Honkai develop unchecked.

Ultimately, the official setting states that in order to achieve this goal, Schicksal cannot eliminate the Honkai, but must allow it to develop Honkai.

Why do I emphasize "Schicksal" and "necessity"? It's because of Otto's ideas. The Schicksal, which was supposed to fight against the Honkai, was officially defined as an organization that "allowed the Honkai to develop." You could say that when almost everyone in the organization was working hard, Otto single-handedly dragged everyone down, turning Schicksal into being defined as letting the Honkai run Honkai.

In this situation, it's somewhat absurd to still have the nerve to praise Otto for "protecting the world for five hundred years" and "cultivating many talents."

Those who aren't elites are tricked into risking their lives, while those who are elites... well, let's see what happens to the Schicksal elites.

The North American Branch —before its defection, it was the most technologically advanced branch of Schicksal, officially described as having gathered the world's top scientists and guiding Schicksal's technological innovation.

So what happened to this powerful branch later?

Don't panic in the Honkai, Otto is here!

Elite scientists, huh? Kill them, kill them.

The Herrscher of Reason is on humanity's side, right? Kill them, kill them.

In my previous article, "Debunking Rumors & Explaining Conflicts (Part 1)," I mentioned that the one who actively Honkai the Honkai was Void Archive [by restricting Otto's access to technology, Void Archive truly did not allow the technology tree to climb wildly].

However, the claim that Otto suppressed the Honkai by 'suppressing technology and Honkai's is a rumor and does not mean that Otto did not suppress technology.

Oh, some people think I'm schizophrenic and talking nonsense. Well, please wait a moment.

Why do I say that Otto, to an objective degree, suppressed technology?

Keep in mind that the North American Branch had almost secured the Moonlight Throne, but what happened?

[During the initial test of Moonlight Throne Project, the reactor went out of control. To protect Schrödinger, Nancy used the 'interferometer' ahead of time to combat the Honkai. Subsequently, for the safety of the public, she controlled a Honkai energy cluster sphere with a Honkai Energy exceeding ten million watts and pushed it out to sea. After bidding farewell to Tesla with the song "Scarborough Fair," she died from the energy aftershocks following the destruction of the cluster sphere.]

The above plot occurs in Chapter 24 of the Anti-Entropy visual novel. As for why Nancy's experiment failed and she had to risk her life to salvage it, the Finn in the same chapter directly states that it was the result of Otto's behind-the-scenes machinations.

Then the Finn were silenced.

Incidentally, when Otto killed the Finn [Joachim's father] here, he said, "Go and reunite with your family." From this point of view, it is highly likely that Old Yang's Mom was also directly killed by Otto.

This shows that Old Yang is indeed a man who can do great things. Even after his whole family was killed, he was still able to endure hatred for the sake of the world and cooperate with Otto to fight the Honkai. I certainly couldn't do that.

The Nancy mentioned here is actually a character based on Edison [Nancy Thomas Alva Edison], who is the actual leader of the North American Branch in the storyline.

The following settings are also mentioned in her Stigmata story.

The fact that her parents weren't rescued in time was the origin of her distrust of the Schicksal. But later, this distrust stemmed more from subtle differences in their worldviews and values. Schicksal wasn't a people-oriented organization, nor even one genuinely committed to fighting the Honkai —this realization grew stronger for Edison as she aged.

Why did Otto target her? It's not surprising that Otto panicked at this point, realizing that Schicksal wasn't a genuinely committed organization against the Honkai, and that the Moonlight Throne he created could actually destroy the Honkai.

At the time, almost all the scientists Otto was planning to kill were highly skilled individuals who could normally produce high-tech creations through scientific research.

Why do I say that Otto objectively suppressed technology? — Of course, he killed off those who could do scientific research because of his own purposes. Isn't that objectively suppressing technology?

In addition to the Anti-Entropy group, the victims have been mentioned before, including Maki.

Otto recognized him as a genius, the brilliant person who created the HSN Serum.

Considering that the data Otto retrieved from the Void Archive is likely invisible to Maki, it's highly probable that the HSN Serum was developed by him.

This is something that Previous Civilization couldn't come up with [one-thousandth of the Previous Civilization's divine medicine required extracting antibodies from the corpses of those who died from Honkai Disease]. Otto was no joke when he said he was a genius.

Then Otto managed to kill him too.

Otto has done this countless times over the past five hundred years, but anyone who threatens the Honkai, discovers the truth, or hinders his plans will be killed by him. The plot and setting have proven more than once that he is truly capable of taking action regardless of who you are [including Cecilia, his obedient subordinate].

After thinking about this, I realized that some people's views were a bit of a hellish joke.

Some people think that no one in the last 500 years can replace Otto, while others think that the Anti-Entropy group of noobs can't beat Otto.

Let me say this: Otto killed all the really good people beforehand, and the Anti-Entropy is a prime example.

While everyone had the potential to cause Honkai, Otto, the guardian of the Honkai, preemptively killed off these people who might have been of great use in the future.

Whether anyone can replace Otto is uncertain, but anyone capable of replacing Otto will almost certainly be killed by Otto because they are too outstanding.

How dare you jump to my head and say, "Hey, how come no one can replace him?"

What a terrifying group of people.

Returning to the plot of the book, Lin Yu is someone who climbed up from the bottom [of course, you could also say he flew up], but even when he became an S-rank, his heart was still closer to that of a lowly warrior.

Well, it's not quite accurate to say they're completely at the bottom. In my eyes, the people at Schicksal Headquarters are basically elites, but in Otto's eyes, they're still at the bottom.

Therefore, in later parts of the story, I will dedicate one or two chapters to describing the past and lives of the lower-ranking soldiers at headquarters.

Riot didn't cause much trouble in the Nine Nether Otto arc, so let's just keep watching to see what happens next.

(3) [Anti-Entropy Invasion Chapter], [Herrscher of Death Awakening Chapter]

These two chapters are discussed together because neither of them has a very long plot.

The Herrscher of Death Awakening arc is a plot point in the original work that almost happened but was prevented from happening.

The original story clearly states that Otto deliberately messed with Maki, intentionally released the core to trigger the Honkai, and completely lacked the awareness and sense of responsibility of the leader of Schicksal.

So after making minor adjustments to the plot, the book continued to be written in this direction.

Of course, even at this point, Otto still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Or rather, he was somewhat aware of it, but Otto, you know, would deceive himself until the problem was presented to him.

Five hundred years ago, he was like this, deceiving himself. Kallen, because of his actions, decisively ran to protect the people, but was killed by the Honkai Beast.

Five hundred years later, in the last paragraph of the Anti-Entropy novel, Otto saw the figure of Kallen. Whether this was the Void Archive or the Honkai's Honkai, you don't know.

However, the screenwriter used Kallen's words to say a few things.

Otto: "Everything is going according to plan!"

'Kallen' [Your plan? You never had a plan.]

At the end of this Q&A session, Otto actually reaffirmed his original intentions.

However, this also exposed a fact—in the past five hundred years, apart from letting the Honkai develop and pursuing technological replication, he really has no reliable plans other than camping out with the Herrscher of Death.

Therefore, in this book, I wrote it according to the principle that "Otto did not give up on the Herrscher of Death even after he had a new plan".

Of course, Otto didn't cause too much trouble during this phase, or rather, because the plan 'looked like it was going smoothly,' Otto didn't need to cause any trouble.

Sigh, Lin Yu and the other soldiers on the front lines only need to think about how to deal with the Honkai Beast and Herrscher, but Bishop Otto has a lot more to think about.

When to let the Honkai develop Honkai, when to put on a good act in front of everyone, when to secretly kill a few elites, and when to fight Kallen Fantasy to get a higher score— Bishop Otto really has it tough!

(4) [England Heritage], [Heaven's Lost Property]

The England Heritage chapter is the most outrageous Otto fanfic I've ever seen.

I mentioned some plot points in the legacy arc.

This is what I said at the time.

The Herrscher of Constraint, who was referred to as "Otto-k Drops" by a group of people in the original work, was indeed squeezed out of her position by Otto.

However, even though the Herrscher of Constraint was gone, the Constraint Barrier still appeared on the battlefield.

In the original story, the Constraint Barrier of this era was used by Otto to block the path of others.

In this matter, many people are working hard to break the Constraint Barrier.

Bronya endured the pain, and with the help of the will of 300,000 people, projected enough Moonlight Throne.

Seele and A-Lynn Sisters are protecting Bronya, who is suffering.

The two PhDs from Anti-Entropy calculated the threshold of the barrier and provided a solution in the fastest possible time.

Theresa risked her life to use the Divine Prayer Barrier to break the second phase of the Constraint Barrier's defensive mechanism, which could have wiped out the entire group.

And what about Otto, who was touted as a genius?

Oh, he's that bastard who uses barriers to squat in the toilet to prepare for trouble, and who uses Constraint Barrier to manipulate people's mentality.

Moreover, Otto's use of the Constraint Barrier to buy time was essentially a ploy to create False God that posed an even greater threat to humanity.

Lin Yu couldn't understand why, with so many people contributing to breaking the barrier, they would all go and praise this scoundrel who caused trouble using the barrier.
