Thus Spoke Apocalypse (Continued)

"Even at this point, they will go to great lengths to deceive themselves—believing that love can transcend all things, and firmly believing that affection can be eternal."

As the saying goes, "A dying man's words are good." As Otto approached the end of his life, his magnetic voice touched the audience, allowing them to truly feel Otto's regret and sorrow.

"How could this be... Why do I feel heartache?"

Kallen clutched her chest, her eyes brimming with tears.

Otto hugged Kallen tightly.

He did not feel sad.

Perhaps he was already thrilled that his character in the story was able to fulfill his 500-year-old wish, but a sense of regret still lingered around him.

"Indeed... love, and even broader emotions, can bring about miracles."

Otto is a person who firmly believes in emotions.

He believed that the power of emotion could unleash miracles, and even at the very end, he still placed all his bets on the outburst of emotion, on Kiana's rage.

"But the creators of miracles can only be those who are still alive at that moment."

"As an ordinary person who was once deceived by them... I also fantasized that the human soul still exists in a higher dimension."

"I dream that one day, my beloved will be able to return to the world with a new body and live a better future."

"Unfortunately, the rules of the world are not like that..."

Otto's voice was filled with endless regret and sorrow, even a hint of sobbing. He was no longer the Archbishop of Schicksal who controlled the world, but a lonely ghost who had been wandering the world for 500 years after losing his loved ones.

He may have regretted his actions at night, and he may have fantasized in the A series about Kallen returning to the world in a new body, but he failed time and time again.

Failure did not defeat him; instead, it strengthened his resolve to resurrect Kallen.

"Death is indeed the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything—we cannot continue the starlight that has already vanished."

"Unless..."

"We reversed time, awakened the silent island of graves, and re-infused the evergreen waters of life into the past that buried everything."

"The path of division will unfold once again there."

At this moment, the audience kept hypnotizing themselves.

He is the Archbishop, he is Otto, the Otto who committed countless sins, the root of all Kiana's suffering, his plans killed many people...

Even so, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Otto at this moment.

Walter Yang slumped into his chair.

He had thought he would be happy to see Otto die, but when he actually saw it, he didn't feel much joy.

It felt like the emptiness in my heart when someone I'd known for a long time, a long-time rival, left forever.

"Otto, you bastard, you can't even die properly."

Walter Yang gritted his teeth.

It's clear that Walter Yang felt a pang of sadness at Otto's departure, but if Otto were to rise from his grave, he would probably unhesitatingly unleash a black hole from the Heart of Eden onto Walter Young's tomb.

"I must be crazy."

Walter Yang shook his head.

He was not happy about Otto's death, but sad.

"Well, I hope you can successfully fulfill your long-cherished wish. Consider it my last blessing after being rivals for so many years."

He punched the laptop to death, so now he can only use his phone to read.

The small screen of the phone made Walter Yang's gesture of offering a glass of wine seem somewhat comical.

And in the Golden Courtyard.

"A villain who has committed countless sins, a Bishop of Schicksal to control the world, and a leader who fights against the Honkai and leads humanity."

Yaqing raised a toast towards the big screen.

"His departure deserves it and cannot be taken lightly."

Yaqing's voice was deep.

When he first finished writing the script, he sent it to President Otto. To his surprise, Otto remained silent for a long time and praised him for three hours with a slightly tearful voice.

The praise lasted for three hours, and not a single positive word was repeated.

"He is indeed a respectable opponent, at least in the story."

Kevin slowly exhaled.

"I finally understand why I would go to any lengths to lend the Void Archives back to him in the story. Tsk tsk tsk, the joke is funny, not the person. Otto a real man."

Kevin also raised a toast.

Otto's long-cherished wish is something many men want to do, but the vast majority of men cannot do.

Putting aside his sins, Otto was indeed a respectable person.

"The more I look at her, the more I feel that Sister Ying is like a vixen who interferes in other people's relationships."

Pardo muttered a complaint under her breath.

"Pardo, you can't blame Sakura for that. It's clearly the screenwriter's fault. The screenwriter wanted to use yuri to attract viewers, but also wanted to depict Otto's unwavering love for Kallen. It's hard to handle this duality."

Fu Hua glanced at someone in the back row.

"Let's not talk about that, you old fogey. Although I hate Otto, at this moment, I still want to say, Otto, keep it up."

Little Knowledge watched the big screen nervously.

Elysia was now silent.

She was starting to regret her bet with Yaqing.

Otto's exclamation was so powerful that it almost made her lose her composure. If she had actually shed tears, she would have lost.

Eden shook his head.

"The choice between life and death will henceforth create two worlds, and the price... is nothing more than the death of one person, the destruction of another..."

"And the Honkai, which originally wanted to kill us."

Otto sighed deeply.

It seemed to carry endless regret and remorse.

That was a regret that had lingered in the world for 500 years.

"Unfortunately, by the time Otto Apocalypse grasped this truth, he was already a notorious villain, and he was thoroughly hated by the very power he needed most."

"But that doesn't really matter, she did prove that anger born of love can have the same power as love."

Who Otto's words were directed at? Perhaps every viewer already knows the answer in their hearts: K423, the girl he toyed with his whole life, and the family that was torn apart because of him.

Kiana Kaslana.

He might have had better methods, but he would never place his hopes of reviving Kallen on anyone else; he only trusted himself. But... in the end, he still took a gamble that seemed impossible to stop him.

"Well."

Kiana sighed.

Complex emotions welled up in her heart.

Admittedly, most of the suffering she experienced in the story was related to Otto, especially Himeko's death. However, Otto was also her creator, and her growth was constantly monitored by Otto.

But Otto in reality is really good to her, and it is precisely because of this that the fusion and repulsion between reality and the plot have left Kiana feeling confused for a time.

New Zealand.

Wendy lay on the sofa and turned to look at the TV.

"To be honest, I really admire Otto."

"What do you admire?"

Big Cabbage smiled.

"Do you admire his unwavering love until death? Or his perseverance in controlling the world for 500 years? Or perhaps, do you admire how he was able to fulfill his lifelong wish in the end?"

The cabbage's Ai-chan is a metaphorical reference.

This refers to the love hidden in Wendy's heart.

"I heard your teacher asked you to do voice acting again. What, has the Wind Rider been resurrected?"

Ai-chan joke.

"No, it seems to be a new IP."

Wendy shook her head.

"And behind such heroes, Theresa... my dear granddaughter, you are growing into a great leader."

"Given time, you will eventually make people forget your grandfather, and let his merits and demerits be buried in history and disappear as mere gossip."

How could Otto forget Theresa on his deathbed?

Even with his frail face, he regained his loving expression, his eyes filled with regret for not being able to witness Theresa's coronation ceremony.

After all, for him, Theresa was the most special person besides Kallen.

That was the only warmth he had in this world.

"But... you should eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon occasionally. You always stay up late, your body needs more diverse nutrition."

"Do you know... for tomorrow's coronation ceremony, Grandpa personally sewed you the archbishop's robe... if you don't mind, use it to start your own era and wash away the stains that Grandpa left on it."

"Theresa... my old friends, the Scarlet Bird Immortal, the Herrscher of Reason... they are truly good people, and they will definitely help you forge your own path."

Otto's sincere concern for Theresa, his care and affection, is truly touching.

He was indeed a villain, but in the end, he was still thinking about his granddaughter.

"Waaaaah..."

Theresa broke down in tears when she heard the words, "Just... eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon occasionally."

That heartfelt concern is something Otto did in real life as well, such as sewing new clothes for Theresa and showing concern for Theresa's health. This shows the interaction between reality and the storyline.

This is what broke Theresa's defenses.

"Grandpa... Waaah... Grandpa."

Theresa cried like a little child.

It's like a little kid in kindergarten who keeps asking for his grandpa.

"Otto sounded like he was crying... but he didn't seem to be able to shed a tear."

Himeko keenly noticed this.

Theresa felt even more upset.

"It's a pity that Theresa in the story no longer has cooking magic."

Vita delivered the final blow.

Theresa was immediately reminded of the scene at the Valkyrie's table, where Otto, wearing an apron, cooked for her, and the discomfort she felt was palpable.

Theresa's mental state collapsed.

At this moment, she is not the headmistress, but Otto's granddaughter.

The two culprits exchanged a glance.

Not only Theresa, Kallen also had a mental breakdown.

"Waaah... Otto, you're such a selfish guy."

Kallen burst into tears and threw herself into Otto's arms.

Even though Otto still had people in the world he cared about and missed, he sacrificed his life for someone who had been dead for over 500 years.

Kallen knew in her heart that, according to the development of the plot, Otto had to die. He paid for the sins he had committed against Bianka and Kiana with his death, and he also demonstrated that civilization had overcome its constraints.

"Okay, Kallen, don't cry. In the story, I'm just a shadow chasing after you, but in reality, I'm your lover."

Otto gently wiped away Kallen's tears with a tissue.
