He truly has the ability to reverse time.

"So handsome, so incredibly handsome!"

Kiana seems to have temporarily forgotten the pain Otto once inflicted on her.

Otto had given it his all and looked rather disheveled, completely lacking his former haughty and commanding demeanor. But in their eyes, Otto had never looked more dashing than he did now.

"Although I hate Otto in the story, I can't help but hate him when I see him risking his life for Kallen."

Kiana proved with facts that if Otto died, she would offer him a toast; if Otto were to be resurrected, she would do everything in her power to hold down his coffin lid.

"Looking at the World Serpent now, that big wolf is really a clown. Otto is not only not a coward, but his combat power is terrifying. Every Divine Key seems to be at his will, and he can wield it at will."

Kiana sighed.

"Kiana, it's Jackal, not a big wolf."

Mei a helpless reminder.

"Idiot Kiana, you actually think Otto is all brains and no fighting power."

Bronya spoke up sarcastically.

When a person's scheming and combat strength are mismatched, he will be lost in the crowd. Besides, in 500 years, even a pig can cultivate into a spirit and obtain the true scriptures.

It is conceivable that Otto had mastered every Divine Key over the past 500 years, all for this very moment.

And in the Golden Courtyard.

Kevin couldn't help but sigh.

"Otto is a real man!"

First, he planned everything, then he fought Kiana and Durandal to the point of near death, and now he's charging at the tree, facing the remnants of the past, giving it his all and risking everything.

The intensity of this battle was comparable to a certain general's 48 hours of hell.

Otto was panting heavily, but the number of enemies continued to increase, gradually coalescing into a terrifying black Honkai Beasts, which was none other than the Honkai Beasts that killed Kallen 500 years ago.

Meanwhile, on the execution ground, Honkai Beasts raged, and people fled in panic. Hearing the cries of agony, Kallen's heart, yearning to protect the civilians, could not bear to stand idly by.

Kallen first smashed the shackles in her hands with her knees, then tore the rope around her neck with both hands, and rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation.

Kaslana will always fight for what she protects.

"If she wants to escape, no one can stop her."

Seeing Kallen break free of her restraints with ease, Elysia finally understood how desperate Kallen had been at that time, and how numb she felt to the world.

The Stigmata Consciousness is right.

Protection is not only a blessing bestowed by blood, but also a curse from the source.

The camera pans to the Imaginary Space, where Otto gradually becomes overwhelmed by the massive black Honkai Beasts. He is knocked away by its enormous claws and before he can regain his footing, the Honkai Beasts swings its iron fist and slams it down.

Smoke filled the air, and even the background music stopped.

Just as the audience was worried, countless golden chains emerged and tightly bound the pitch-black Honkai Beasts. Otto used the Judah's Oath to break the Honkai Beasts's claws.

He then leaped high into the air, hoisted Judah onto his shoulder, ran along the Honkai Beasts's arm, and suddenly jumped into the air, slamming Judah down hard, smashing the Honkai Beasts's head to pieces.

Do you know how many uses Judah has?

The Honkai Beasts collapsed with a mournful howl, and Otto was also thrown back by the last of his strength, rolling several times on the ground in a sorry state. His body had reached its limit, and the erosion of the Imaginary Element had already spread to his face.

When Otto successfully killed the shadow that resembled a demon, all the audience members were excited.

"Well done, Bishop Otto! You've strived for five hundred years, and today you're free. You must succeed!"

"Do you even know how many ways there are to use Judah? So Theresa wouldn't know how to use Judah at all. A real Judah should be like Otto, just smashing it down hard!"

"Awesome!!!"

The chat in Sirin's live stream has been completely covered up.

If you don't understand the comments, you won't be able to see the plot at all.

"He laughs at the jokes, not at the people; Otto is a true man."

Sirin nodded, her hands never stopping as she kept putting potato chips into her mouth.

"My heart skipped a beat when the background music stopped, but I believe Otto will not fall here."

Sirin gave Otto a flag.

Otto struggled to his feet, his exhausted body sustained only by sheer willpower.

The song "IRAS 17514" sung by Yaqing began to play.

The scenes from the two worlds merge at this moment.

Exhausted, Otto looked at the Imaginary Tree before him, while Kallen, clutching her injured arm, looked at the civilians about to be killed by the Honkai Beasts.

Otto reached out his hand with difficulty.

It is clearly only one step away from the Imaginary Tree, yet it is as distant as the Milky Way.

500 years ago, the Honkai Hand raised its blade, and 500 years later, Otto's chest was pierced by the blade.

At the same time, Kallen's body was pierced by the Honkai Beasts's blade while protecting civilians.

Otto stared blankly at the black spikes piercing his chest, as if he could feel Kallen's pain at that moment.

[Let It Penetrate The Darkness When A Beast Roars AFinal Wail.

(Let this light pierce the darkness, as the beast lets out its final howl.)

Let it pierce my heart so I can share your pain.

The lyrics were so fitting, as the black Honkai Beasts launched its final counterattack, with countless sharp spikes surging from behind and completely piercing Otto's body.

It seemed to symbolize the end of his journey, and the imminent conclusion of his long-cherished wish.

"How could this be... We were only one step away from success..."

Elysia covered her mouth in disbelief.

Otto was just one step away from touching the Imaginary Tree, just one step away from reviving Kallen and reversing time, but at that moment, he was attacked by evil Honkai Beasts.

Even Kallen was pierced by the Honkai Beasts once again.

"Can't!!!"

When Central Europe saw this scene Kallen, she was completely stunned, and her already not-so-bright mind went completely blank.

She couldn't imagine how much criticism the screenwriter would receive if they actually wrote it that way, rendering all the groundwork laid in the previous plot useless.

Kallen burst into tears.

All she could think about was Otto's failure and resentment.

Despite having accomplished so much, they were about to fall on the eve of victory.

"Kallen, don't worry, I will definitely not fail."

Otto hugged Kallen tightly.

Even he was shocked by the transition just now. Kallen from 500 years ago and Otto from 500 years later seemed to overlap in some way. In order to revive Kallen, Otto would also suffer the same pain as Kallen.

Otto was not dissatisfied with his misery; in fact, he felt somewhat relieved.

I'm delighted by this wonderful plot.

"Kallen, you forgot, the impression song I sang hasn't been played yet."

Otto whispered comforting words in Kallen's ear.

He didn't think he would fall because of this. Not to mention that he was just one step away, even without this plan, before resurrecting Kallen, his body and even his soul did not belong to himself.

Otto did not choose to wipe away Kallen's tears.

Because he understood that wiping it would be pointless.

Sirin froze, even stopping the movement of putting potato chips into her mouth.

"Ah?!"

She just made a simple promise, and it came true so quickly?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

It wasn't that Sirin trusted Otto that much, but rather that she wouldn't allow herself to become the next jinx; one Mei was enough of Mei.

Otto slowly closed his eyes, and darkness gradually enveloped him. But in the next second, a beam of white light illuminated the darkness before him, and the familiar white-haired girl turned around and smiled at him.

The singing reached its peak at that moment.

Otto suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light condensed into Void Archives before him.

"Once a person's soul is scattered, they cannot be brought back to life."

Otto exerted all his strength, even though his arm was pierced by spikes. He smashed the spikes off and gripped the Void Archives tightly. A golden light flashed, destroying all the spikes that bound him.

"The world allows consciousness to fit into new containers, but does not allow containers to collect dissipated consciousness."

Otto threw the Void Archives to the ground; he was about to dissipate, and he had fulfilled the promise he had made to the Void Archives.

"To save her, my only one, I can only... create new possibilities in the past."

Otto once again conjured a golden greatsword in his hand, and finally reached out to touch the Imaginary Tree he had longed for, a dream he had pursued for 500 years.

Dazzling points of light spread across the Imaginary Tree, and a new branch extended outwards, which was her future.

The Imaginary Tree shone with exquisite light at this moment, as if bidding farewell to Otto's departure.

"This other future will be... her own time and space."

A smile finally appeared on Otto's lips.

"Well done!!!"

Little Knowledge wished he could roar to the heavens.

"He really did it... He created new branches on the Imaginary Tree, sob sob sob."

Elysia covered her mouth, tears silently falling.

At this moment, Otto fulfilled his 500-year-old wish, bringing countless viewers to tears.

"Phew... That scene just now really scared me to death. I really thought Otto was going to fail just one step away from reviving Kallen."

Pardo patted her chest.

"Pardo, you're overthinking it. Not only would we viewers not be able to stand that kind of plot, but even Yaqing herself wouldn't dare to write it."

Su said softly.

If Yaqing could write a plot like this, before the audience even had a chance to kill him, a certain bishop would fly from Europe to the Far East that very day, kill Yaqing, and at the same time cut off all the funds related to Honkai.

This chapter can be seen as a symbol of Honkai future; if it's not written well, or if it displeases Otto, the subsequent plot might...

"I admit it, he's more handsome than me at this moment."

Kevin gave the highest praise a man could give to another man.

"But I'm quite curious about one thing: if Otto left Void Archives here, how will it get back? Will it have to go back piecemeal?"

The slight emotion that had just arisen in May and Mobius's hearts because of Otto's actions was immediately abruptly silenced by Kevin's words, and they couldn't help but roll their eyes at the same time.

"I really hope that at the end of the story, Otto can meet Kallen, at least... so that Kallen knows that someone gave everything for her."

Mei sighed.

She wanted Kallen to know that Otto had given everything for her, but at the same time, she didn't want Kallen to know the sins Otto had committed in order to resurrect her.

Humans are extremely complex beings.

The camera then pans back 500 years, where time seems to stand still, and the time barrier centered on the Kolosten Town shatters.

The sun, which had been blocked out, now shone with warm sunlight. The man, covered in wounds, gripped the Pure Love Greatsword and fell from the sky.

Kallen, whose body had been pierced, instantly recovered completely, forcefully throwing away the Honkai Beasts's blade, and looking up at the sky as if sensing something.

Above the sky, Otto's body was cracked, as if he would vanish into thin air at any moment, yet he still gripped his greatsword tightly and fell like a meteor.

"Hmm..."
