Backstabbed for Eons! Fu Hua, Guardian of the Divine Continent for Fifty Thousand Years, Brutally Killed by a Close Friend Piercing Her Heart

No.

There was nothing there.

It was as calm as a stagnant pool.

It was as if the life-or-death chase behind him was just a drama that had nothing to do with him.

"He..." A cold glint flashed in Gu Yuena's silver eyes, "He wants them dead."

This conclusion sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Just then, Fu Hua, who was in Otto's arms, slowly woke up.

She saw the perilous situation of Theresa and the others not far away, and she also saw Otto's calm, even cold, profile.

"Otto..."

Fu Hua's voice was weak, but every word was full of accusation.

"Why?"

Otto lowered his head, looking at the old friend in his arms, a slight smile even appearing on his face.

"You're awake, Fu Hua. Don't worry, your injuries are severe, and I've prepared the best treatment for you."

His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, yet it sent chills down the spines of the powerful figures in Douluo.

"Answer me!"

Fu Hua struggled to get out of his arms, her voice suddenly turning stern.

"Why were you allowed to let the Herrscher hunt down Theresa and the others?!"

Otto's smile vanished.

He turned away from the chase, as if out of sight, out of mind.

"Their sacrifice was worthwhile."

He said it calmly.

Boom!

These words, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in everyone's minds.

value?

sacrifice?

These words came from the leader of the human guardians?

"You're insane!"

Fu Hua's voice trembled with anger.

Otto ignored her anger and continued talking to himself.

"Fu Hua, you have protected the Divine Continent for five hundred years and witnessed countless tragedies."

Don't you understand?

"Human weakness, jealousy, greed... these are the root of tragedy, the breeding ground for Honkai."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Chang Gongwei, Lei Xiang, A'Dai, and others—these heroes who once fought to protect the world—all wore expressions of disbelief.

What they are protecting is precisely what this bishop of Schicksal calls "the root of tragedy."

"As long as humanity exists, tragedy will not disappear, and Honkai can never be defeated."

Otto's tone carried a strange fanaticism and obsession.

"Therefore, any sacrifice is worthwhile in order to create a perfect world without tragedy or Honkai."

"Whether it's Theresa, or the Valkyrie of Schicksal, or even..."

He paused, his gaze falling on Fu Hua's face.

"... It is you, my oldest friend."

Dead silence.

Throughout the Douluo Continent, countless people watching the Light Screen fell into a deathly silence.

They were completely stunned by Otto's astonishing theory.

Is it really worth sacrificing living, breathing people for a Nihility, unattainable "perfect world"? Sacrificing one's own family and comrades?

What insane and heartless logic this is!

"A madman! He's a complete and utter madman!"

For the first time Rong Nianbing, the God of Emotion, felt that her emotions were almost out of control.

He couldn't understand how a person could become so inhumane for the sake of an ideal.

Ji Dong and Lie Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing deep apprehension in each other's eyes.

This Otto was more terrifying than any Abyss Lord they had ever seen.

Because he is doing the most evil things, yet he stubbornly believes he is right, and that it is for a noble purpose.

"Your path... is wrong!"

Fu Hua spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes sharp as knives.

"I've done things like sacrificing a minority to protect the majority."

"But that absolutely does not mean that life can be used as a cold bargaining chip to achieve a goal!"

"Otto, you have long since strayed from the path of protecting humanity; you are merely indulging your own selfish desires!"

Tang San deeply resonated with these words.

There was a time when he faced countless difficult choices.

But he never considered sacrificing his comrades and family to achieve victory.

Because a victory gained in that way would be meaningless!

"Personal desires?"

Otto chuckled softly, as if he had heard a joke.

"No, Fu Hua, you still don't understand."

Everything I did was to... save her.

He uttered that name that had puzzled countless people.

"For Kallen?" Fu Hua's expression became complicated.

"That's right."

Otto's eyes softened dramatically, a tenderness that starkly contrasted with his earlier coldness.

"Five hundred years ago, I failed to save her; it is the regret of my life."

"Therefore, I will change all of this. I will Conquer Collapse, I will reverse fate!"

"I will pay any price for this!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with an undeniable resolve.

"I will use the power of the Herrscher to guide humanity toward the future I desire!"

"Anyone who stands in my way will be eliminated."

As he spoke, a huge crimson cross appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The cross was engulfed in raging Lie Yan, and the terrifying heat emanating from it sent a chill down the spines of everyone Light Screen.

"That is... Mimicry: Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment!"

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Eye saw through the true nature of that weapon.

It's a replica, but its power is still terrifyingly immense!

"Otto..."

Fu Hua looked at the weapon, her eyes filled not with fear, but with endless sorrow.

"In the end, you still came to this."

"You forced me to do this, old friend."

Otto raised his weapon and aimed it at Fu Hua, who was in his arms.

"You're in my way. Your presence is interfering with my plans."

So, please... rest in peace.

"No!!!"

"Stop!!!"

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, and the others screamed in terror.

Niu Tian and Tai Tan, these towering men, had bloodshot eyes, wishing they could rush into the Light Screen and tear Otto to pieces.

Dragon God and Gu Yuena unleashed their dragon might uncontrollably, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

This is betrayal!

In front of the whole world, he ruthlessly killed his most loyal and oldest comrade-in-arms!

This behavior has transcended evil and reached an utterly heinous level.

However, their roars could not reach the Light Screen.

Otto showed no hesitation whatsoever.

A blazing flame coalesced in his hand.

"Farewell, Fu Hua."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mimicry - Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment in his hand pierced Fu Hua's chest.

The flames instantly engulfed that slender body.

"No..."

Lie Yan's body trembled slightly; she seemed to see her own past fate.

At that moment, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, countless living beings seemed to hear the sound of hearts breaking.

They watched helplessly as the immortal who had protected the Divine Continent five hundred years, the Chi Yuan Immortal who had brought hope time and again in dire straits, was "killed" right before their eyes by the leader they served.
