Dai Hao Said a General Who Fell in Battle Would at Least Have Someone Raise a Monument for Him, but Otto Had None

Even the fact that "Otto was once erased" was deleted from the world.

The golden meteor eventually turned into a wisp of light and landed at Kallen's feet.

She looked down.

There was nothing there.

There were no belongings, no writing, not even a speck of dust.

But then she suddenly smiled.

"Thanks."

These two words brought complete silence to the entire space.

Kallen didn't know who she was thanking.

Perhaps it's towards the wind.

Perhaps it's towards the starry sky.

Perhaps it's for someone who isn't even allowed to exist in this world.

But that thank you, in the end, still traveled through countless times and space, landing at the place where Otto disappeared.

Within the Light Screen, the last ray of golden light dissipated.

[Otto Apocalypse, completed the Spacetime Correction.]

[None of these records exist.]

[Causal record: None.]

[World opinion: Never existed.]

[The only outcome: Kallen survives.]

Ning Rongrong's eyes were slightly red.

"Even the world says he never existed, yet Kallen still thanked him."

"She's thanking her future," Ning Tian said.

"It could also be that she's thanking someone she'll never know," Xiao Xiao replied softly.

Dai Hao stared at the Light Screen, remaining silent for Jiujiu.

After a long pause, he said, "If a general dies on the battlefield, at least someone will erect a monument for him. But Otto doesn't even have a monument."

The Xue Ye slowly closed his eyes. "Then let the hearts of the people bear witness."

"But we might forget," He Caitou reminded him. "Everything that happened here may not remain in our Remembrance forever."

"Forgetting doesn't mean you never remembered," Bei Bei said.

"Like someone walking through snow," Tai Tan said, looking at the blank space. "Spring will erase the footprints, but the path we've walked won't disappear."

The Dragon God's voice echoed through the space.

"The world can erase cause and effect, but it cannot erase the act of choice itself."

The Dragon Prince looked up. "So, was Otto a success or a failure?"

No one answered immediately.

Watching Kallen's departing figure, Huo Yuhao murmured, "He lost his name, he lost his future, and he lost the right to be loved and remembered."

Tang Wulin continued, "But he gave Kallen a life that truly belonged to her."

Gu Yuena was silent for a moment. "So, he succeeded on the path he chose."

Tang San nodded slowly.

Success and failure are never determined by bystanders.

"Then who decides?" Zhou Weiqing asked.

Tang San looked at the last remaining glimmer of light in the Void.

"By himself."

In the distance, Kallen had already stepped into the sunset of the new world.

She will continue to live.

They will fight, they will laugh, they will meet new companions, and they will have their own future.

She doesn't need to know who Otto is, nor does she need to bear the heavy burden of five hundred years of planning.

Because in that completely changed world, Otto's last wish was just one sentence.

Live on.

I'm not living for him.

Instead, she chose to live life to the fullest as Kallen herself.

The Light Screen gradually dimmed.

This time, however, no one bowed to the blank space, nor did they call out Otto's name again.

They simply watched Kallen walk away in silence.

The Light Screen did not completely turn off.

Just as Kallen stepped into the sunset, a faint silver-white ripple suddenly appeared in the depths of the scene.

The ripples spread out like pebbles falling into a lake, eventually covering the entire Light Screen.

[World Lines correction detected.]

[Tracing back 500 years.]

[Target: Kallen Kaslana]

[Scope of correction: Execution Ground, Honkai disasters, cause and effect of death.]

The emotions that had just calmed down were once again gripped by these few lines of text.

"Back again?" Xu Sanshi's eyes widened. "Wasn't it over?"

"This isn't a replay." Gu Yuena raised her eyes, her silver pupils reflecting the shimmering light on the Light Screen. "It's to show us how the result truly comes to be."

Tang San didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to the scene that had reappeared.

Five hundred years ago.

Under a gloomy sky, the ancient Execution Ground was packed with people.

In the center of the platform, Kallen was chained to a stone pillar with heavy Iron Chains chains. Her wrists were raw and bleeding, and her feet were covered with congealed dark red marks. A cold noose was around her neck, and a broken Long Spear pierced her abdomen.

Fresh blood dripped down the hem of her clothes.

One drop.

Another drop.

Her breathing had become so faint that it was almost inaudible.

Below the stands, the crowd looked around in terror.

On the distant streets, Collapse Beast were approaching. Their massive bodies smashed through houses, and flames and smoke engulfed half the town. The fleeing crowds jostled each other; some fell, some cried out, and many more could only watch in despair at the Execution Platform.

"Is this the original ending?" Ning Rongrong clenched her fingers. "Kallen died on the Execution Platform, and the people in the city were also killed by the Collapse Beast?"

"No, they will." Dai Hao's voice was heavy. "Given the current situation, they have almost no chance of survival."

Xue Ye looked at the chaotic street, and his expression turned ugly.

"The death of one man cannot bring peace to a city," he said. "Unless someone changes the entire course of the war."

On the Light Screen, Kallen slowly raised her head.

Her gaze passed over the high platform and landed on the children running away in the distance.

The child fell beside the ruins, and his mother rushed over to shield him with her body, while a Collapse Beast emerged from the smoke and dust, its claws reaching out.

Kallen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Even though she was already at her wit's end, she was still struggling desperately.

The Iron Chains clanged with a piercing sound.

"Run!" she cried hoarsely, "Don't stop!"

However, no one could hear her.

The guards Execution Platform raised torches, the crowd screamed in fear, and the sky was heavy with dark clouds, as if the whole world was waiting for her death.

The next instant, a golden crack appeared in the Void.

The crack did not tear the sky apart; instead, it was like an invisible pen, gently tracing this part of history.

[Cause and effect rewriting begins.]

[Honkai Impact: Canceled.]

[Public death record: withdrawn.]

[Kallen's fatal abdominal wound: Canceled.]

[Execution noose: Ineffective.]

Everything in the Light Screen suddenly stopped.

The flames froze in mid-air, the Collapse Beast remained in its attacking posture, and the flying dust and blood droplets all stood still.

Tang Wulin leaned forward instinctively. "This is... freezing time?"

"No." Huo Yuhao stared at the frozen scene. "Time continues to flow, but some outcomes have been redefined."

"To change what has already happened into something that never happened," Ye Yinzhu said softly. "That's even more difficult than reversing time."

Silvery-white ripples spread from Kallen's abdomen.

The Long Spear piercing her body began to turn transparent.

The bloodstains at the edges of the wound gradually faded, as if someone were slowly erasing a stain from a painting. The skin closed up again, the torn clothing was restored to its original state, and even the pain on Kallen's face disappeared.

She looked down blankly.

My abdomen was completely unharmed.

There are no wounds.

There was no blood.

There wasn't even Remembrance of pain.
