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

2. He targeted the elites within the organization—looking back, he both actively and passively betrayed most of the Schicksal elites in modern and contemporary storylines.

It's important to know that the higher-ups of the Previous Era didn't have Otto's abilities, so they sent Sakura to assassinate Mei in order to frame her.

Otto is different; he has plenty of methods, and sometimes he doesn't need to go to such lengths to destroy his own underlings.

These are just the things we see in the story. Over the past five hundred years, guess how many times Otto has done this?

3. Hindering normal activities within the organization – In conjunction with the previous point, he was deliberately letting everyone down while they were fighting against the Honkai; he is the biggest traitor in Schicksal.

In addition, as I said before, he is more capable and better equipped, and he is much more ruthless than the Previous Civilization's high-ranking officials when it comes to causing trouble.

.

4. Delaying funding and hindering various progress.

5. Those who line their own pockets and drag others down.

These two points should be considered together.

Kallen Fantasy —that's not what we're talking about today, of course.

Although this was Otto's personal creation, it at least had a positive effect [in the story it was used to train Valkyrie].

What I really want to talk about are Otto's Soul Steel bodies.

These Soul Steels could have been used to create more and stronger anti- Honkai equipment, but Otto decisively chose to enrich himself, using these anti- Honkai assets left by the Previous Civilization for his own benefit, and then went to serve the Honkai as their lackey.

Of course, there's more to say than just that.

There is actually another thing – the Honkai Energy Fission Bomb.

In the background, this thing is a super weapon of mass destruction. Reanna said that in 1955, Schicksal could not make a second one within ten years.

So, who was this powerful weapon used against?

Joyce, Siegfried, Cecilia, three unlucky guys, each got a fission bomb.

The weapons meant to combat the Honkai were used to eliminate dissidents [even Siegfried and Cecilia had no intention of rebelling at all]. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he wasted Schicksal's funds because of his personal desires.

Schicksal is an organization that fights Honkai, and the fact that Otto used the weapons, equipment, and materials meant for fighting Honkai on himself and to kill enemies is not the real problem. His biggest problem is that after taking the equipment and seizing power, he did not take responsibility but instead used these things to hinder others from fighting against Honkai.

In this context, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Otto lined his own pockets.

The reasons mentioned above are also why I find the idea that 'Otto was better than those bastards from the Previous Civilization' hilarious.

If Otto truly suppressed those troublemaking schemers, then afterwards he himself became a more abstract and disgusting demon king than those schemers and monsters from fifty thousand years ago.

There are actually people who think, 'He may be a bastard, but he killed other bastards, so he's useful'—seriously, after the dogs fight, the last one evolved into a demon king-level stinking dog and killed even more people, and you guys don't even watch that?

I'm speechless.

Going back to the previous topic, why didn't I insist earlier that Otto had dealt with those ambitious people?

Even after Otto came to power, a world war still existed in the Honkai worldview.

According to Dr. Tesla's introduction in the visual novel "Anti-Entropy", we know that in the world view of Honkai Impact 3rd, there is a world war, there are war criminals, and the war criminals are generally corroded by trace amounts of Honkai Energy. Some samples even have Honkai Energy densities that are several times the lethal dose.

The claim that Otto "Otto guarded the world for five hundred years" is somewhat of a prank.

Um, secular countries are fighting each other, and it's even a result of the Honkai.

Is Lord Otto simply unable to stop the Honkai, or is he just letting it all unfold unchecked?

If they can't stop all this, then guarding the world for five hundred years would be nothing but utter nonsense.

Letting all this develop unchecked is like adding insult to injury.

So if you look at the details without relying on filters, Otto isn't as omnipotent as some people claim.

Looking back now, why would anyone bring up the past five hundred years when there was little concrete information about it?

It's probably because modern times have clearly documented the despicable things Otto did, making it impossible for them to boast about them. That's why they shifted their focus to the almost unrecorded period of the last five hundred years and started praising him.

After all, in such a blank area, you can't find a point of leverage to refute it, because they can't prove what Otto did in the past five hundred years. As long as they are stubborn enough, they can praise the person they want to praise to the skies.

What, you say it's not OK? Then how can you prove that humanity could have survived for the past five hundred years without Otto?

In reality, this is a very sophistical approach, because they have no way of proving that humanity would not have survived the past five hundred years without Otto.

I don't want to go into the examples I gave; refuting them would be a waste of time. There was even a rumor mixed in. "Otto solved the Black Death, but without Otto, humanity would have been wiped out by the Black Death."

As for why it's said that "Otto's success in controlling the Black Death is a rumor," you can refer to the previous article on debunking the rumor.

This allows them to further expand their advantages, and any doubts will be directly and confidently refuted by this group.

However, I want to say this: in modern times, he did some heinous things that harmed his teammates. Five hundred years ago, before Kallen died, he did things like "assisting his father in liberating the Herrscher" and "listening to his elder sister's instigation to liberate the Honkai Beast," which disregarded the lives of others and directly accelerated Kallen's death. I don't understand why anyone would think that Otto would suddenly change his personality in the last five hundred years and then change back in the last seventy or eighty years.

But upon reflection, I felt relieved.

Some of them genuinely didn't know, while others were pretending to be ignorant.

They just want to brag about their so-called "pure love god of war," as for how many people this "pure love god of war" has killed and how many despicable things he has done...

Just add a line like, "We're willing to admit Otto was a bad guy, so why aren't you willing to acknowledge his achievements?" when you're praising him, and that's it. It's that simple.

They pretend to give equal blame to both sides, but in reality, they blatantly favor him, attributing credit to him and praising his achievements while downplaying all his problems with a few words...

Wow, that's amazing.

As for those who think I'm too strict with Otto after reading this, I'll repeat myself.

Since Schicksal is an organization that works to Honkai money and recruit talent to help the organization, it should devote all its efforts to fighting the Honkai, a matter of life and death for humanity.

As the leader of Schicksal, Otto has the responsibility to fight the Honkai with all his might. Some people think I'm being too strict with Otto... The problem is that I'm only holding him to the standards of a Schicksal leader.

It's not that Otto should be an absolutely perfect saint. Everyone has selfish desires, which is normal. If he has some selfish desires while fighting against the Honkai, then there's nothing to say.

The problem is that although he has the idea of "I will Honkai the Honkai after Kallen is resurrected", you can't judge a person by what they think, but by what they do. Letting the Honkai develop is something written in the setting, so you can't blame me for talking nonsense.

Those who think I'm too strict with him can think about this: if someone takes your money under the guise of helping you, tricks your relatives into doing things, and then you find out in the end that they're secretly helping your enemy to swindle you, how would you feel?

Otto did this for five hundred years.

What Otto obtained from the secular world and the despicable things he did were clearly many times worse than the case I'm describing.

As a result, in this current situation, a group of people are ignoring that fighting the Honkai was originally his responsibility [and he not only failed to do so but also went in the opposite direction]. On the one hand, they are attributing the achievements of other Schicksal members who risked their lives [truly risked their lives, and because Otto allowed the Honkai to run Honkai, the probability of them risking their lives has increased from frontline soldiers to support personnel] to the traitor Otto, while on the other hand, they are downplaying or even ignoring the problems he caused...

Although I've written so much, I know that for those people, no matter how much I say, it's meaningless.

To put it bluntly, the group that's currently praising Otto includes a portion of people who are pretending not to understand, and another portion of people who are simply ordinary enthusiasts who have been misled.

The white noise bomb tactic, combined with the Twilight of the Fool animation, was indeed very successful in some extreme Otto fandoms. It was so successful that many people forgot what Otto had done in the past. At the same time, the cool moment at the end was essentially cleaning up the mess he made in the past [releasing Honkai Beast and causing Kallen to die under Honkai Beast claws] [and almost killing all of humanity].

Think about it carefully, and it's clear that the entire world unknowingly gave Otto a lot of gold coins.

Most of the Schicksal members worked for Otto while believing he was protecting the world.

Otto, using the gold coins that everyone had invested in fighting the Honkai, directed the warriors and support personnel who had worked for him to fight the Honkai. After all that trouble, he killed a bunch of elites who could have fought the Honkai, and almost carried humanity away several times.

When people praise Otto for nurturing many Valkyrie, they generally don't mention that Otto's laissez-faire attitude towards the Honkai led to those Valkyrie dying more easily on the battlefield.

When someone claims that Otto suppressed technology to suppress civilization and thus suppress the Honkai, they are either genuinely unaware of the facts or are simply being stubborn based on the premise that "Otto allowed Schicksal to let the Schicksal develop Honkai" and "Otto lacked sufficient indexing permissions to access all the technologies within the Void Archive."

Some people boast that without Otto there would be no Kiana, so when Otto wasn't around, they wouldn't even look at how Otto almost killed Kiana several times after he built the K423.

K423 didn't die and even grew into the final savior. I haven't seen many people praising the person who guided her growth, or the person who died protecting her along the way. Instead, I've seen many people praising Otto, who tormented her several times until Sirin completely took over her body.

Of course, some might say, "Otto guided K423 all the way, and her growth is inseparable from Otto."

If we really follow the logic of "the person who creates the savior has done a great deed" and "Otto's creation of K423 = indirectly saving the world," then Nicholas Apocalypse should probably be added to the list of people this group praises the most.

After all, Otto was Nicholas's biological son, and without Nicholas there would be no Otto, so this argument holds true.

If Nicholas hadn't treated Otto the way he did in the story, he wouldn't have had such a good relationship with Kallen, and things wouldn't have turned out the way they are now—according to the logic of 'Otto tormenting Kiana = making her grow,' that's really how it is—and no matter what, Nicholas was still acting like a father, at least his subjective actions, apart from freeing Himeko, didn't cause Otto much harm.

However, Otto almost killed Kiana. The Sky Chapter has a bad ending, and Sirin woke up and started a massacre even though Fu Hua was protecting her.

But now, according to this argument, it will eventually become—it doesn't matter if you're not nice to him, as long as you make him stronger, you'll have merit.

According to this logic, Emperor Yan should kowtow to Emperor Soulsky a lot more, because without the Soul Clan, there would be no Emperor Yan [laughs].

Furthermore, it's fortunate that Otto is Nicholas's son; if he were an ordinary person without the status of a bishop's son, the problem would be much more serious.

Even though he was the son of an unappreciated bishop, he was still far ahead of others from birth.

If he were just an ordinary person, he wouldn't have had the chance to access knowledge, obtain the Divine Key, or meet Kallen. In fact, given the living conditions in the Middle Ages, the probability of Otto dying from the Black Death or starving to death due to food shortages was not small.

Even if he survives, ordinary people don't have the resources to learn, so how difficult is it for them to have a chance to climb the social ladder? Everyone should understand.

Furthermore, before Kallen's death, Otto's position was that of a military doctor accompanying the army.

If you remove his background as the son of a bishop, Otto would likely be just another ordinary person.

Therefore, according to that group's logic, Nicholas, who brought Otto into being "indirectly saved the world," truly deserves great credit.

Here's another point to add: the idea that Otto could indiscriminately kill people in the Previous Civilization is actually a very strange claim.

Otto I mentioned here, without an identity, he probably wouldn't have had a good life in the Middle Ages. In the Previous Civilization era, he wouldn't have starved to death, but he might not have had the ability to stand out directly.

He was able to act as the uncrowned king of the world within Schicksal because he lived a long life [first by using the Black Abyss White Flower to prolong his life, and then by changing his soul to a steel body] and because he Divine Key Void Archive.

In the Previous Civilization, he had no time to accumulate experience, no divine equipment, and everyone was acting under the same conditions. I'm very Otto about what Otto would use to easily defeat the Previous Civilization.

Oh, and if anyone's thinking, "I'm talking about a fully equipped Otto who wipes out Previous Civilization," then I have to say something.

The claim that Otto completely destroyed Previous Civilization is a claim created by a certain group to glorify Otto as a hero who trampled on Previous Civilization.

Otto's ability to dominate the game with a cheat code that no one else has doesn't prove that Otto is better than others; this clearly doesn't align with their intentions.

Let's go back to the previous topic.

After saying all that, I know very well that these people wouldn't praise Nicholas, this old man, like that.

When they use this logic, they only accept it when it's used to promote the characters they want to promote.

Once you apply this logic to other people and arrive at strange conclusions to refute them, they will immediately try their best to find differences to deny the logic they should have accepted.

Also, I should mention that I personally despise this kind of logic, so don't think I'm actually praising Nicholas.

He may have tried to govern well in the past. Judging from the plot of the Twilight of the Fool Kallen, Nicholas in the past did care about the people.

However, after he chose to launch the Eastern Expedition, Kallen had already realized there was a problem, and it was later proven that this old Deng had long been corrupted and there was nothing to brag about.

Considering that he later had Otto release the Himeko, which almost destroyed the Schicksal Headquarters five hundred years ago, this father and son can be considered war criminals [of course, Otto is at most an accomplice in releasing the monster, the problem mainly lies with Nicholas].

From this perspective, it must be said that the father and son are indeed similar in some ways. Both of them have almost killed other unfortunate people around them for their own selfish desires. It's just that Otto surpassed his father and did it better in this regard.

In other works, the rewarding of merit usually has nothing to do with such bastards, but now that Otto is being praised to this extent, it has shown me a new world.

I've written so much again without realizing it, so let's end this chapter here.

Finally, I've included maps of the Siberia region and a panoramic map of Asia, so that anyone who doesn't know the true cost of Otto's so-called "abandoning half of Asia" really does understand.

Chapter Content Review and Summary [Part 1]

I was tired but couldn't sleep, and since I didn't feel like writing, I thought I'd write something anyway, and that's how this came about.

The book is roughly divided into the following chapters: [Escape from the Sky], [Chaos in the Nine Nether Netherworlds], [Invasion of Anti-Entropy -Entropy], [Awakening of the Herrscher of Death], [England Heritage], [Heavenly Lost Property], [Constraint Awakening Arc], [Twilight of the Fool], [True Transformation of the Finality], [Epilogue], and [Railway Side Story]. This chapter will be skipped for now, as the Railway Side Story is unfinished and there are no plans to revisit it.

Let's review each one one by one.

[Escape from the Sky]—The number of chapters is approximately 1-76, starting from when Lin Yu thought he had just transmigrated and ending with the confrontation between Lin Yu and Otto.

In my opinion, Lin Yu was still relatively weak at this stage. The fact that he managed to deceive Otto right under his nose at this stage was the true meaning of "escape".

In this chapter, the book adds many more details compared to the previous book.

Otherwise, if the Escape from the Sky arc follows the original story's plot of "Theresa makes a foolish mistake and causes the Schicksal Council to send out S-rank heroes, while at the same time saying 'I believe in Himeko' and letting Himeko confront the Herrscher, and finally blaming Himeko for messing around," I wouldn't be able to write anything like that.

Based on everyone's speculation, Otto would definitely pay attention to Sirin, who had finally been 'resurrected', and Schicksal would have needed to have enough manpower in Changkong City to protect K423.

Therefore, from this perspective, if the fate of the Schicksal is in the starting position, Lin Yu will have the capital to intervene in the events.

Of course, Lin Yu, who had forgotten everything at the time, didn't have such thoughts yet, but in fact, when he was already preparing to become a vengeful ghost, he had already set his sights on going to Changkong City.

Then continue.

Siegfried cares about his daughter, and in Siegfried, he wasn't as immobile as Siegfried was in 2017. Therefore, he was the most suitable person to join the Anti-Entropy conservative faction.

Meanwhile, on Cocolia's side, I can't possibly write a storyline like "Cocolia sends Bronya to retrieve Raiden Mei"—that would be too difficult for Bronya, a game where there's absolutely no chance of winning.
