"'Otto' Appears, Setting Off a Heated Debate" (Part 2)
They returned to base, Mei declined Welt's offer to stay and help, deciding to prioritize the mission and first escort Welt and his son out of the city.
"Mei really has her eye on Adam."
Kiana felt jealous.
Watching Mei's smile and praise for Adam's talent in the web series, it was clearly a normal interaction between a senior and a junior, but in Kiana's eyes, it was not normal.
The last person I was jealous of also used a fire-type greatsword.
"Kiana ~".
Mei felt helpless. She understood Kiana's feelings and wasn't really jealous; she just wanted Kiana's praise and comfort.
"Where's that strong smell of vinegar coming from?"
Bronya lay comfortably in Seele's arms, complaining about Kiana.
"Bronya, what did you say?!"
Kiana panicked and lunged at Bronya.
"Brainless Idiot, get up, you're so heavy!"
Seele looked at the two people pressed together in a flustered and panicked manner.
Mei was already used to this.
Seele heard the voice of 'Seele' in her ear.
"Look at your Sister Bronya. She's been in the Far East for a few years and she's already so close to other people. You're different. You only have me."
Seele shook her head violently and muttered to herself, "No, Seele, everyone is by my side, and you've always been by my side too."
"Hmph." Dark Seele snorted coldly.
To cover Welt and his son's escape from the city, they carefully avoided the monster's sight and finally managed to get them to the train station.
"Mr. Welt, Adam and I will get you onto the train. After Carol initiates the departure procedure, you are expected to arrive in Cairo in four hours."
"Thank you, Mei, and Carol, Adam... thank you."
After thanking the three men, Welt Young took Xiao Qiao's hand and boarded the train.
The camera didn't shift to Mei after Welt boarded the train, but continued to focus on Welt, while Xiao Qiao curiously pressed against the window, gazing outside.
Welt seemed lost in thought.
The camera didn't move, so the audience naturally knew that something more was going to happen to Welt, which was likely to be a significant plot point.
A hand landed on Welt's shoulder, accompanied by that familiar, teasing voice.
"Hello, old friend, isn't this a coincidence?"
"Once again, you rejected my invitation; once again, you came before me."
Welt's pupils contracted, and he turned around abruptly. After seeing the man's face clearly, his eyes were filled with shock. The camera then switched, showing the back of a blond man.
"You... how could you... you're already..."
Although they knew Otto would appear in the promotional video, when Otto actually appeared, they still couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!" in their hearts.
"Damn it, who didn't put a foot on his grave?"
"This doesn't make sense. Neither Mei nor Theresa are reacting as if Otto is alive."
It's not surprising that the audience reacted so strongly; they had gradually forgotten the content of the promotional video and remembered Mei's confident promises and Theresa's extreme excitement.
They all preferred to believe that Otto was dead.
"Sigh, Welt is going to crash again."
Little Knowledge wasn't sure if that person was really Otto, but she was certain that Welt was going to crash and burn.
"Is this the price of being old rivals?"
Little Knowledge scratched his head.
Although Welt always looks cool and his slogans are great, such as "Fight for humanity," and his character and image are solid, he still suffers setbacks.
"Holy crap! Is the Herrscher of Reason Core poisonous?"
Little Knowledge suddenly shouted.
"Don't swear." Fu Hua lightly patted Little Knowledge on the back of the head.
After hearing Little Knowledge's words, the viewers in the live stream also realized what was going on.
Although Welt had a commanding presence when he first appeared, it didn't last long. Bronya received the same treatment; after undergoing the Angel Rebuild, she was defeated by Kevin before even finishing a single movie.
"Holy crap, could the Herrscher of Reason Core be cursed?"
"How come who gets the short end of the stick?"
["Happy."]
"Hmph, since you're here, why not do me the honor of staying?"
The camera pans to the train control room, where the train has stopped.
"A massive transformation is about to happen, and you will not only witness it, but you will be part of it."
The blond man, who resembled Otto, sat down opposite Welt, picked up a bottle of wine from the table, and used his other hand to create a wine glass with golden light.
"There is a task for you to accomplish, and a victory awaits you to claim."
"Think about it. If you and I join forces, we now have a chance to permanently banish the Honkai."
Upon seeing a man resembling Otto who actually wanted to team up with Welt Yang to fight against the Honkai, the audience felt that the world had truly gone mad.
He was taken aback.
What does the other party mean by "expelling the Honkai"?
Wasn't 99% of the Honkai energy already sealed on the moon?
"Wait, is this really Otto?"
Sirin was skeptical.
In her understanding of the plot, Otto only thought about reviving Kallen, and fighting the Honkai was just one part of the plan to revive Kallen.
Unless he wants to revive Kallen and then let Kallen live in a world without the Honkai.
Unfortunately, no one came to answer her questions.
Only one account named "I am Destiny" was sending her gifts.
The camera pans outwards, revealing a crimson blood moon hanging in the sky.
"The Honkai has been banished."
Welt didn't understand what 'Otto' meant either, so he emphasized it.
"Is that so? On the moon, only 380,000 kilometers from Earth?" Otto scoffed, his tone mocking. "In a place that even humans can easily reach, civilization's greatest enemy is sealed away?"
"This isn't expulsion, it's just escaping."
Little Knowledge was taken aback.
She never expected that her thoughts would overlap with Otto's.
I suddenly felt unlucky.
"True 'expulsion' means a permanent farewell, an eternal separation on our time scale."
Otto swirled the golden liquor in his glass, ice cubes clinking against the glass, his eyes gleaming with a bewitching light.
"The fruits of victory are already hanging on the branches; just a little force is needed to bring them into our hands."
"I need your power, First Herrscher."
Otto emphasized the word "gravity" and formally extended an invitation to Welt.
But Welt was not about to cooperate with this man of unknown origin. He still believed Otto was dead and refused outright.
The wine bottle and glass shattered, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Just as the two were about to turn on each other, Xiao Qiao rushed out. Not yet in control of his powers, he wanted to protect his father.
Otto, however, was not alarmed. Instead, he turned to look at Xiao Qiao, his eyes filled with surprise, and laughed out loud. This sudden turn of events was unexpected, yet it delighted him.
"There's even another... First Herrscher."
"Don't touch him!"
The audience was stunned by this scene; Otto's sudden appearance and the unfolding plot left them bewildered.
Judging from Mei and Theresa's performance, Otto is indeed dead, without a doubt. However, Otto not only appeared but also denied sealing 99% of the Honkai energy.
Many people have expressed doubts about this.
Is 'Otto' really Otto?
That kind of scheming, that irresistible aura, that person who was born for love and was willing to sacrifice everything to revive Kallen, how could they suddenly want to permanently banish the Honkai?
If Kallen were to be successfully resurrected, then Otto would absolutely not be able to cause trouble.
But then it's said that Kallen wasn't resurrected. So wouldn't Otto's Honkai of the Honkai just push away the chance to revive Kallen?
Little Knowledge was completely bewildered.
She simply couldn't understand where the plot was going.
"Judging from the recording, the voice is undoubtedly Otto's, but why?"
Little Knowledge subconsciously expressed his doubt.
Even Fu Hua couldn't answer her questions.
"Perhaps Otto has changed?"
Little Knowledge saw this comment and laughed out loud, "Then I'd rather believe the sky has fallen."
Not only were they puzzled, but Otto himself was also very puzzled.
"Otto, tell me secretly, what are your plans for the web series?"
Otto himself doesn't understand the situation either.
He did not participate in the recording of the web series.
According to the script he saw, his character should have died before the end of the Honkai, and there was no possibility of resurrection. But if it wasn't him, who would impersonate him?
"Kallen, curiosity and anticipation are indispensable."
Otto politely declined.
Because he himself was unaware of what would happen next.
"Hmph!" Kallen huffed.
On the other side, in the dormitory area of the St. Freya Academy, as soon as you enter the teachers' area, you can hear a series of telegrams, as if you have returned to a previous era.
"I am a * (Anti-Entropy profanity), Otto is a * (Anti-Entropy profanity)..."
Einstein silently covered his ears with his hands.
When Tesla was venting his anger and was panting heavily, Einstein finally spoke up, saying, "Alright, Dr. Tesla, you should be more ladylike. This will corrupt the children."
"Bird's nest hair? Are you out of your mind? That's just a web series. I don't have any kids in real life."
Tesla is now attacking anyone it sees; it's very aggressive.
Einstein wasn't angry. "If you want to have children, you'll probably have them next year."
"Ha?"
Einstein calmly sipped his coffee. "Isn't that right? You seem quite fond of that child, judging from how excited you are."
"No! I just... can't stand Otto's behavior."
Einstein's expression was telling Tesla.
You keep making things up, I'm listening.
