Farewell, My Great Inventor

In the Golden Courtyard, when they heard Otto's heartfelt concern for Theresa, everyone's faces began to tense up, even though they knew that the person in front of them was a villain, a villain who could never be forgiven.

But when they actually saw him so close to death, they couldn't bring themselves to hate him. Instead, they felt a strange urge to hope that he could successfully fulfill his 500-year-old wish.

"That Otto guy..."

Little Knowledge usually talks about Otto in the story with his extensive use of C programming, but at this moment, he actually sighed.

"What Otto did is exactly what we all dream of. Who doesn't want their loved one to live forever? Who doesn't want to grow old with their loved one? But we simply can't do what he did."

Fu Hua sighed.

Even though she doesn't even have a boyfriend.

Elysia bit her lip and remained silent, but it was clear that her eyes were already red.

He's only holding on because of the bet.

Eden shook his head, as if he could already foresee the outcome of this bet.

"I think this is Otto's true self after he takes off his disguise. He cares, he worries, he regrets. How could someone who believes in feelings not have feelings?"

Eden sighed.

"If one day I actually feel sorry for Otto, and I told my past self, they would probably think I've gone crazy."

Pardo wiped away her tears.

Just as Eden said, Otto dropped his disguise, and the audience who saw this scene broke down, no matter how stubborn they had been before, saying that they would never shed a tear because of Otto's death.

"And Bianka... my last student... I manipulated your life, planned your destiny, nurtured you with genuine affection while using you as a pawn to take advantage of you."

"Do you know... everything I showed you in these last ten years was just so that after this annihilation, someone could erect a wordless monument for me."

Otto murmured, "Bianka was the name of my sister who died on the battlefield. I gave her the name back to another girl I had toyed with my whole life, as both hope and expectation."

We hope she won't bring shame to this name, and that she will make it shine again, known to the world, and give it a new luster.

Durandal was surprised.

She never expected that Otto would mention her at the end of his life. It seems that she held a higher place in Otto's heart than she had imagined.

Cecilia stroked Durandal's long hair.

"Child, the feelings that Bishop Otto has for you in the story are not just about using you, but that he genuinely treats you as a student and teaches you."

Cecilia felt a sense of familiarity with this relationship.

Suddenly it dawned on me that this was exactly how Yaqing and Otto got along.

Otto both taught and exploited Yaqing.

Yaqing relied on Otto while simultaneously using him.

Neither side is a good guy.

Ziegfried sulked to the side. Even after seeing Otto's dying words, he still couldn't feel any goodwill towards Otto, at least not within the context of the story.

In the story, Otto truly caused his family to be destroyed. His wife died because of Otto's Honkai Energy Fission Bomb, his daughter was brainwashed, and another daughter suffered so much because of Otto.

Otto's voice was choked with sobs.

But he couldn't shed a tear, because he had long forgotten how to express his emotions through tears.

"I don't need anyone to judge me. After all, these five hundred years, both long and short, are nothing more than what a man can give up for his own wishful thinking."

"He has now reached the end of his journey—what he was meant to accomplish, what he was meant to witness, what he was meant to redeem..."

"They have all taken root in the Imaginary Tree, waiting only for the lost messenger to deliver the final message before everything is over."

"That moment will be neither too early nor too late; it will become a requiem that transcends death, a hymn to the arrival of miracles."

"The world will turn for one person at that moment, the imposed sins will vanish, and the will that was ended will continue to move forward."

"I will take the baseness to my grave, and the light will extend into the future because of you."

Otto's pace slowed, but his expression grew increasingly resolute.

His experiences flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Ultimately, it lingered on that smiling face that had scaled the wall.

"I fooled my friends, I fooled my loved ones, I fooled the world and the rules above it... all to give that one true you a second life."

"I'm back... Kallen."

As Otto's journey came to an end, gazing at the Imaginary Tree before him, the camera lingered on his back before the screen suddenly went black.

Immediately afterwards, two lines of text appeared on the screen.

How many evil deeds must a person commit to bring her back to dawn from the depths of hell?

How far must a person travel to find their original self at the end of time?

Despite having made a bet and promising not to cry over Otto's death, Elysia couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

"Eden, the screenwriter is inhuman!"

Elysia nestled in Eden's arms, loudly denouncing the screenwriter's cruelty.

Eden was hit by the pink tank and almost lost his grip on the wine glass, but luckily his chest cushioned the impact.

"Elysia ..."

Eden looked utterly helpless.

In her opinion, Elysia brought this upon herself. Who would be so kind as to bet with the screenwriter about the upcoming plot?

Everyone around was crying, their faces streaked with tears.

Not to mention Pardo.

Even Little Knowledge, who hated Otto so much, cried.

Fu Hua took off her glasses and wiped away her tears.

Otto's actions shocked them, and his sincere words before his death left them speechless with grief. In the end, he had accomplished both resurrecting Kallen and saving the world.

"Self is truly an unavoidable topic."

Mobius sighed.

She might be somewhat moved, but she would never shed tears because of a stranger.

"Yaqing, you..."

Kevin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Kevin, just say what you want to say. Why are you being so wishy-washy, like a woman?"

Yaqing said irritably.

"I..."

499

Chapter 499 Farewell, My Great Inventor.

"Do you have some kind of mental illness?"

Kevin blurted it out.

"Pfft."

Mobius couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Online, people are saying what kind of psychological trauma the screenwriter of the Honkai story suffered. When Kevin brought the joke to her face, she realized that the joke was even funnier when it was played in front of her.

"Get lost."

Yaqing cursed in annoyance.

"Actually, you don't need to sympathize with or pity Otto. He is about to fulfill his 500-year-old wish and resurrect his beloved. He understands from the bottom of his heart that the affairs of the wicked must be decided by the wicked."

Yaqing pulled Mobius, who was still laughing, into her arms.

Mobius's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked completely bewildered.

Yaqing could smell a very pleasant fragrance, but she couldn't tell if it was the scent of shampoo or the Snakey's natural body odor.

Seeing the price Otto paid over five hundred years, and realizing that even a simple hug wouldn't be enough to successfully revive Kallen, Yaqing felt a sense of satisfaction when he hugged Mobius.

Did Otto succeed?

This is the question in the minds of all the viewers.

As the screen lit up, their doubts were resolved.

"When a person truly wants to change the world, they will discover how insignificant their individual power is."

"The Saintess gave everything for the people, but what she received in return was merciless shackles and nooses..."

Otto's mournful voice serves as the narration, and the camera pans to reveal a dark sun that has been obscured. The next thing that appears on screen is Kallen, her hands bound, being led to the execution ground.

Otto, covered in wounds, walked across the red earth, so much like Kallen 500 years ago.

"The world is so chaotic; it is neither fair nor reasonable..."

Otto looked up at the sacred yet mysterious Imaginary Tree, which was so close to him.

The power of imaginary numbers coalesced at this moment, gradually transforming into Otto's former form to hinder Otto progress.

"It persecutes heroes, breeds evil, and leaves ugliness everywhere, devoid of beauty..."

Otto looked at his past self, and realized that he was exactly like the person he was describing—a despicable villain who persecuted heroes. A sarcastic smile crept onto his lips.

"Let the evildoers cut off the malice of the world."

The mimicry of Heavenly Fire: Unleashed, and a golden greatsword slowly condensed in his hand. With a powerful swing, crimson-gold flames ignited.

Otto Apocalypse will eventually go to the Kingdom of God to lead her home.

At that moment, his wolf-like, cyan eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Viewers say that the Judgement of Shamash is Pure Love Greatsword, and every time it is drawn, it is for the one they love. That is why, when Otto mimics the Judgement of Shamash, a sense of respect rises in his heart.

"Wow, Otto's actually pretty cool. Keep it up, don't let me look down on you! Go show the Imaginary Tree what real human power is!"

Even Little Knowledge, who hated Otto the most, put aside his grudges at this moment and showed Otto great respect.

"Persecuting heroes and nurturing villains... Isn't that describing Otto himself?"

Fu Hua was clearly taken aback.

"Hua, can we interpret this sentence as follows: persecuting heroes refers to Kallen, and nurturing evil refers to Otto himself?"

Pardo seemed lost in thought.

"I don't think it's that simple."

Fu Hua frowned.

"Otto may have believed in his heart that he was no different from the chaotic world. He also persecuted heroes and nourished himself. That's why he said that the malice of the world will be cut off by the wicked."

This statement can be said to be the best support for Otto's character.

He deeply understood that he was a villain, a villain who could never be redeemed, and it was precisely because of this that the world's malice was cut off by this villain.

The scene shifts to Kallen still being led to the execution ground, surrounded by a chattering crowd of onlookers, some puzzled, some surprised, and some regretful.

She was taken to the gallows and watched as the people she had protected put the noose around her neck.

The camera then focuses on the Imaginary Space, where Otto races towards the surging crowd, leaping high into the air and wielding Heavenly Fire. Golden flames surge, scattering the Imaginary Space's apostles with this explosive attack.

Otto went all out, showing no restraint in his fighting prowess and demonstrating to the audience that he was never the coward hiding behind the Valkyrie as the Jackal claimed.

Countless shadows surrounded him, the greatsword danced, and each swing symbolized the complete disappearance of a shadow.

"This is the distance between her and tomorrow, this is the world's relentless backlash against her, but her followers will never give up because of this!"

As the battle continued, Otto's neck began to show signs of spreading.

Meanwhile, the Void Archives, the Divine Key creation built from the Herrscher of Reason Core, unleashed its mimicry power at this moment. Otto first mimicked the Abyss Flower, stringing the Apostles together like candied hawthorns on a skewer.

He once again mimicked the Xuanyuan Sword, wielding two swords and engaging in continuous combat.

The scenes from 500 years ago and the current state of Chongshu 500 years later constantly switch between each other, making them realize that Otto is indeed modifying the timeline at this moment.
