Mei stroked Kiana's head.

"Mei ~, what you said almost made me cry..."

Kiana struck a pose as if she was about to cry.

Mei was both amused and exasperated.

Petting Qi the cat like petting Kitty.

Seele silently put on her sunglasses, almost blinded by the dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection).

Inside the Golden Courtyard.

They were so shocked that they fell silent.

"Sure enough, when I saw the Theater of Domination, I could guess that it was definitely related to Otto."

Mei's calm analysis.

That being said, everyone had actually anticipated this, but they only thought that Otto would do something underhanded. They didn't expect that Kiana and the others' every move was under Otto's watchful eye.

Pardo swallowed hard.

"Otto... he was terrifying enough, but he also obtained the Herrscher Core of the Herrscher of Herrscher of Domination. What is he going to do?! Could it be... that he also wants to become Herrscher?"

Pardo's eyes widened.

"We cannot rule out this possibility."

Mei nodded.

The plot has progressed to the Tenth Herrscher, which, in the eyes of these viewers, is almost at the end. Only the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth Herrscher remain before facing the Herrscher of the End the End.

Moreover, the Herrscher are apostles of destruction, a concept that is now considered a joke by the audience. All the Herrscher under the Honkai have turned against the Honkai, and one of them has even been passed down for three generations.

So, it's not so hard to accept that Otto would become the Herrscher of Domination.

"Then it's all for naught. With Otto's schemes and the power of domination, how can Kiana and the others possibly resist?"

Pardo couldn't help but worry about Kiana.

"Calm down, Little Pardo. As the main characters, Kiana and the others will definitely pull off a miracle and defeat Otto. At worst, they'll suffer a bit."

Pardo calmed down after hearing Ying's account of the beginning, but her anxiety returned when she heard the end.

"Ah!"

Mobius and Mei both looked up from their husbands' shoulders, their expressions serious, as if they were anticipating this foreshadowing.

"It seems that the so-called Honkai consciousness is not omnipotent after all."

Kevin sighed.

Something's not right. Nine out of ten things are definitely not right.

Mobius and Me frowned.

The two women exchanged a glance, as if asking each other, "You felt it too, didn't you?"

The two women nodded at the same time.

Otto's attitude changed; he became more casual. Last time, when facing the Collapse Consciousness, he was very respectful, even if it was just an act. But this time, he seemed to have placed himself on the same level as the Collapse Consciousness.

Unless Otto learned inside information from the knowledge left by the Previous Era that the audience did not know, or the Honkai consciousness was related to the Previous Era.

Mobius and Mebius seem more inclined toward the former.

"Little mouse, the Honkai consciousness and Kevin are old acquaintances, does that mean the Collapse Consciousness and the Finality Herrscher actually..."

Mobius's guess about this statement is that the Collapse Consciousness is very likely the Herrscher of the End from Previous Era.

Yaqing's expression was strange.

"Senior, why would you think that?"

Yaqing seemed to be able to hear Mobius's inner thoughts.

If you equate the Collapse Consciousness with the Finality Herrscher, then Prometheus would weep.

You should at least shed a tear for her. /Jpg

"Isn't that right?"

Mobius frowned.

"Otto clearly said five words that were censored, and he's an old acquaintance of Kevin's little sidekick. The only one I can think of is the Herrscher of the End."

Mobius provided an explanation.

Mei also agreed.

"It's impossible for one of us to become the consciousness of the Honkai, right?"

Kevin was joking.

Yaqing remained silent.

Kevin's heart skipped a beat.

"No way... right?"

Yaqing was thinking that it wasn't one of them, but the modeler... they all seemed to have met him in person.

Bronya is sleeping.

Chapter 463 The Surprising Shigure Kira.

The reunion of Otto and the Collapse God caused a sea of comments to almost cover the screen, but the spectacle did not last long. The camera then returned to Durandal, who was rampaging through the Theater of Domination.

The two stopped before a deep, empty cave. Only Durandal could open the path behind it, and there was no information about the Imaginary Tree's domain.

Durandal stepped into that dangerous area without hesitation.

"In these last ten years... you really showed me a unique and wonderful legend."

"Bianka Ataegina".

Otto watched Durandal leave, his voice low and filled with mixed emotions—a mixture of relief, melancholy, and a hint of indifference.

Otto's expression changed, and his earlier excited and talkative demeanor vanished. From his conversation with Changguang, it was clear that he didn't care whether the World Bubble inside Durandal could be connected to the Imaginary Tree.

That was not important to his plans.

Changguang paused for a moment. She naturally understood what Otto meant: once a certain period of time had passed, Durandal would be forcibly recalled.

Otto suddenly changed the subject, pointing out that Changguang had quietly helped Durandal.

Changguang knew that his little tricks couldn't hide from Otto, so he simply admitted it.

"You should know that they were all once excellent Valkyrie under my command."

"As expected of Otto."

After a moment of silence, Mobius let out a cold laugh.

One second they're all smiles, the next they're completely indifferent.

That's real cunning.

Even the audience thought that reconnecting the World Bubble to the Imaginary Tree was an important part of Otto's plan to revive Kallen, but unexpectedly, Otto didn't care at all, or even that it was important.

"They're not going to take down Durandal, are they?"

Kevin said uncertainly.

The way things are in Honkai 3rd is that whoever is the protagonist suffers the most; this is common knowledge. Cecilia died in the first movie, Wendy died in the second, and Himeko died in the third...

The words "Sweet Pepper Curry" from the fourth and fifth films still evoke a pang of heartache in viewers.

Now, this interlude is called "The Immortal Blades," Durandal is the main character.

"It can't be that bad... can it?"

Sakura didn't quite believe it, but she added "maybe" at the end, clearly indicating that she wasn't sure herself.

"Otto ..."

Pardo was lost in thought.

"Pardo, what are you thinking about?"

As heaven could see, Mei was very surprised. What did she see? Pardo actually started thinking while watching Honkai 3rd.

"Sister Mei, I've been wondering, why is there suddenly so much of Otto's storyline?"

Pardo scratched her head, clutching the Canned Food in her arms.

"Actually, I've been thinking about this issue too."

Mei stroked Kevin's white fur as she pondered.

"Judging from the Post-Honkai Odyssey, Otto was destined to die. Now that the plot lines have suddenly increased, it's very likely that he's about to..."

Mei didn't finish her sentence, but anyone could understand the meaning behind it.

The Death of Otto.

"But isn't the next movie about Sister Elysia?"

Pardo has innocent eyes and looks like she's easy to fool.

"Pardo, Yaqing never said that the next movie is about 'us'."

Mei glanced at Yaqing.

Yaqing pretended not to see it and changed the subject.

"Senior..."

Seeing that Yaqing ignored her and was still engrossed in her conversation with Mobius, Mei didn't say anything more.

"Valkyrie?"

Kiana was very puzzled by Otto's last words.

Upon careful consideration, she realized that none of the older sisters she knew from Schicksal, whether they appeared or not, were capable of working in the realm of the Imaginary Tree.

"Could it be Himeko- sensei?"

The first person Seele thought of was Himeko.

After all, she fell into the Imaginary Space. If she were in the realm of the Imaginary Tree, it would be normal, since no one has seen Himeko's body so far.

Kiana felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Seele's words, but it quickly vanished.

"No, based on my understanding of my uncle, things don't happen more than three times. If Himeko really appears in the Intrinsic World again, it would be an overexploitation."

With the Everlasting Flame and the pearls and jade preceding, even if Himeko did not die, she would have to die.

"Could it be Sister Shub and the others?"

A sudden inspiration struck Mei.

"Yes!"

Kiana was also reminded that she was really blind to her own shortcomings. She saw Shub and the others every day, but she was always thinking about the older women at headquarters.

As we all know, Patrick and Cheng Lixue are dead, so the only possibility is between these two people.

Durandal walked through the Imaginary Space, stepping into the pure white realm. Time lost its meaning at this moment. She took deep breaths to suppress the tension in her heart.

Suddenly, a muffled voice came from afar, seemingly guiding her forward. The scene shifted, Durandal arrived at a strange space where a celebration seemed to be taking place.

There stood Shigure Kira, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, and Shub, who had turned into a ball.

The world before us, known as the Candy House, can continuously establish links on the Imaginary Tree due to its small size. However, for the World Bubble within Durandal's body to do the same would be an impossible task.

The audience was thrilled to see Shigure Kira and Shub again. As the Valkyrie who appeared in the first movie, their reappearance in the Intrinsic World inevitably evoked a sense of nostalgia.

"The Shoggoth... the Candy House... why does it look more and more abstract?"

"If you haven't read Durandal from beginning to end, you'll probably be completely confused by this interlude."
