Otto's Complicated Love for Kallen (Continued)

Only Mobius and Mebius seemed to be deep in thought.

Faced with Durandal's surprised and angry gaze, Rita calmly stated that Otto was merely an insignificant Honkai Steel body.

Otto stepped forward to explain that the plan had already begun months earlier when Kiana defeated the Herrscher of Domination. In order to reclaim the Herrscher Core, he created a host that the Herrscher of Domination could not refuse.

He was a defeated and desperate man 500 years ago.

No one knew better than him how dark his heart was at that time.

The entire arrangement was designed to create a trap that the Herrscher of Domination could not refuse, and the time projection that Theresa and the others experienced and saw was nothing more than a simulation.

It was precisely because that Honkai Steel body firmly believed it was Otto from 1491 that the plan was able to conclude so perfectly.

"It's truly chilling; Otto is so ruthless that he can even harm himself."

Pardo, frightened, clung to Sakura's arm.

The loud movements woke up Sakura, who was fast asleep.

"Hmm... what's wrong? Is it over?"

Sakura was still sleepy and listless.

"Otto's plan was ruthless, but apart from himself, no one else was harmed or lost their lives."

Little Knowledge said casually.

"No, Little Knowledge, that's not how you should think."

Fu Hua frowned.

"What makes up a person's life? Body, consciousness, memory, habits. In my opinion, Otto's Honkai Steel body can be considered a completely new person. Otto killed him right before others' eyes."

Fu Hua shook her head.

Little Knowledge also frowned.

"An old relic, it was nothing more than a Honkai Steel body from beginning to end."

Fu Hua remained silent. Clearly, she did not approve of Otto's plan, even though his plan successfully collected the Herrscher Core without any injuries.

"Otto is a really hard guy to judge."

Mobius curled his lip.

"A person who believes in love and affection will find that everything he plans and does is inextricably linked to realism. Can you call him rational? He also believes in the power of emotions. Can you call him sentimental? Everything he does is completely unrelated to these two words."

Otto was a complex person.

He cannot be simply summarized in a single word.

"Perhaps that's why Otto was able to do this, to do things that we couldn't."

Mei sighed.

Otto is neither a purely evil person nor a purely good person. It can be said that the character design that the Honkai series gave Otto surpasses the complexity of all other characters, and at the same time, it makes the audience remember the name Otto.

You can respect him, hate him, insult him, or praise him.

His crimes are too numerous to count, but his achievements will endure forever.

"The core of the Herrscher of Domination... Could Otto also become Herrscher?"

Kevin seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.

Many viewers lamented in the previous chapter that it was fortunate Otto did not become the Herrscher of Domination, otherwise, with Otto's intellect and the power of the Herrscher of Domination, human civilization would have been turned upside down.

Now, it seems that this chapter is about to come true.

Central Europe Headquarters.

"Otto, are you some kind of ruthless villain who kills without blinking an eye?"

Kallen looked up.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Otto's face, but he quickly concealed it.

"Kallen, how could that be? You should know my character. I, Otto, am the kindest person. I am the beloved president in the eyes of my employees, the dear grandfather in Theresa's eyes, and the teacher whom Yaqing admires."

If it were anyone else lying through their teeth, they would probably panic and stammer, but Otto was different. He lied with complete seriousness, just like in a casual conversation.

"Pfft, Otto, do you even believe what you're saying?"

Kallen immediately beamed with joy.

Otto was stunned.

Kallen reached out and stroked Otto's cheek, saying gently, "Otto, if something really happened to me, would you...?"

Otto reached out and covered Kallen's mouth.

"Kallen, there's no need to say anything more. I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen."

Otto seemed to recall what had happened last time, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

Kallen shook her head and smiled, "I was talking about what if, Otto, what would you do if I really did pass away before you one day?"

Otto's eyes widened in surprise, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"I think I would probably use all the power of Schicksal to do it... even surpass Otto in the story, because he didn't experience it, but I enjoyed the love with you, Kallen. Maybe the sins I committed were even worse than his."

Otto seemed to have already envisioned that scene, and even said that if that day ever came, Yaqing would probably be transferred back to headquarters from the Far East to continue serving as the director of the research institute.

"The way you're saying that makes it sound like you're threatening me."

Kallen smiled helplessly.

"That's right, it's a threat, a threat to keep you alive."

Otto held Kallen's delicate body tightly, wishing he could merge her into his own.

Kallen gently hugged Otto from behind.

Durandal seemed somewhat unable to accept Otto's plan after hearing it.

Otto, however, remained unusually nonchalant about it.

"For example... I saved someone's life five hundred years ago, but five hundred years later I still point a gun at her."

"For example... in order to study the power of the Herrscher, I once took the Second Herrscher from Anti-Entropy. At that time, Mr. Welt almost destroyed her on behalf of humanity."

"After that, I killed her, resurrected her, and tortured almost everyone on the Hyperion for her power."

"These are all things that Otto Apocalypse did."

Otto used his past sins to mock Durandal for choosing to serve under him despite knowing the cause and effect, and now worrying about a mechanical consciousness that had only been born for less than a few hours.

A hint of anger flashed across Durandal's face.

When Otto realized this, he quickly apologized, but his words were more teasing than sincere. In his view, Durandal was willing to tolerate his sins in order to uphold her inner mission.

There's nothing shameful about it.

"In this matter, you have shown a maturity and perseverance beyond your years. I will tell the whole world without hesitation because of this—you, Durandal, are the best student I have had in five hundred years."

"You--!"]

Otto's sarcastic remarks unsurprisingly provoked the anger of all the viewers.

It's simply because Otto's tone was so irritating.

Not only Durandal couldn't stand it, but they also wished they could punch Otto's Honkai Steel face.

"Damn it, Otto is such a jerk! I really regret only smashing one of his Soul Steel bodies back then. I should have smashed all of his Honkai Steel bodies!"

Little Knowledge was the first to lose his temper.

Otto's target of hatred was too broad, especially after the first few sentences. Even the good-tempered Fu Hua couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

After all, even the best-tempered person will lose their temper when they see the perpetrator still gloating after they've been shot.

"Click".

That wasn't the sound of bones colliding, but the sound of the armrest of the chair breaking.

The last time Home Theater armrest broke was during the first movie screening, caused by Kalpas. Now, Fu Hua is the second person to cause this.

"Something feels off."

Sakura had a feeling she couldn't quite describe.

"Sister Sakura, what's there to say? Otto just deserves a beating! His plan is about to be completed, so he's not going to keep up the act any longer!"

Pardo was furious.

Who wouldn't be outraged if a perpetrator boasted about the crimes they had committed in front of others?

"Wait, something's not right."

Sakura realized that something was wrong.

"Why would Otto mock Durandal? Does he think Durandal is his strongest fighter? His actions seem to be..."

"It's to provoke Durandal."

Mobius interrupted Sakura.

Sakura turned around.

"Hatred and anger cloud the brain's analysis, so Otto did it on purpose, deliberately provoking everyone's hostility."

"But Sister Snake, why would he do that?"

Mobius's words extinguished Pardo's anger, leaving her with doubts.

"I don't know."

Mobius gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

If she knew Otto's motives for doing this, wouldn't she be the screenwriter?

"Well..."

Pardo scratched her head.

St. Freya Academy, faculty and staff dormitory.

"Smash it! Smash it all!"

Walter Yang was put on a red-hot note by Otto's words.

The blush on the middle-aged man's face said it all.

He was breathing heavily.

"That Otto guy..."

Walter Yang, a severe sufferer of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), gets extremely excited every time he sees himself in the first movie, displaying incredible power, but soon suffers setbacks because of Otto.

Otto, however, spoke as if it were a trivial family matter, mentioning the time Otto had shown off, which infuriated him.

If Yaqing were here, she would definitely advise Walter Yang to be more magnanimous. It's not because Yaqing is a saint, but because she's afraid Walter Yang would be furious if he saw what happened next.

"Let's talk about this second Herrscher of Reason..."

The Headmaster's Office is not far from the faculty and staff dormitory.

Theresa clicked her tongue.

"Grandpa's mouth is really hard to describe. He attracted all the hatred the moment he appeared. What... what is he trying to do?"

Theresa's little head was filled with big questions.

"Could it be that they're getting arrogant because the plan is about to be completed?"

Himeko frowned.

"It's not that simple. With Otto's personality, getting arrogant? How could he possibly get arrogant?"

Vita wore a mysterious smile.

It's completely confusing.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, my good children. Theresa, why are you staring at me like that, like I'm a murderer?"
