After Kallen dies, Otto rebuilds Schicksal and devotes himself to finding a way to bring her back. His search leads him to Mount Taixu, where he uncovers Fu Hua’s betrayal and begins awakening her from a seal.

• Otto saved Kallen from execution by unleashing Collapse Beasts, but she condemned his actions and died shielding a little girl from the horde.
• Otto honored Kallen’s wishes by caring for children and later led a coalition to overthrow Lisa and Marcel, then reorganized Schicksal to fight Honkai.
• Otto took in Vera, who became his loyal sword, and eventually set out with her and Kallen’s coffin to find Immortal Chi Yuan and learn how to revive Kallen.
• Otto reached Mount Taixu after learning Chi Yuan had supposedly ascended, but he found evidence that Fu Hua had survived her disciples’ attack and that her ascension had been staged.
• The Light Screen revealed that Divine Tone Technology had stripped away Fu Hua’s emotions, and Otto uncovered the truth behind her disciples’ betrayal and the village she had slaughtered.
• Otto activated Fu Hua’s hidden seal and confronted the Seven Disciples, declaring that Chi Yuan had never truly left and that he would give her a reason to return.
• As Fu Hua began to awaken, Otto revealed that she had sealed away memories of her disciples and precious experiences, while the observers concluded that Su Mei had wanted to make Fu Hua her own puppet.

Fu Hua awakened, confronted Su Mei, and left Mount Taixu before Otto drew her and Li Sushang into his plans. The God Realm’s observers then uncovered Otto’s decades-long scheme to revive Kallen through Kiana, whose transformation into the Herrscher of Flamescion brought her to the Theater of Domination as Otto watched from afar.

• Fu Hua awakened with her memories intact, rejected Su Mei’s attempt to possess her, ended her ties with her disciples, and left Mount Taixu with Otto.

• Otto found the injured Fu Hua and arranged treatment in exchange for Schicksal’s protection of the Divine Continent and her life under a new name.
• After Vera died, Otto abandoned his last visible connection to his former self and pursued his plan to bring Kallen back at any cost.
• The observers learned that Otto deliberately prolonged Honkai, sacrificed Valkyries, suppressed possible cures, and killed people who threatened his control of the crisis.
• Otto used Fenghuang Down, the Laws of Imaginary and Soul, and the Ganges Sand Plan to seek a World Line where Kallen lived, then made Kiana the key to reaching it.
• Otto shaped Kiana’s attachments and grief, including Himeko’s sacrifice, to help her bear Herrscher power and become the Herrscher of Flamescion.
• Kiana entered the Theater of Domination and fought its collective consciousness while Otto watched the shattered Theater from an observation screen.

Otto sacrificed souls, allies, and civilization to reach the Imaginary Tree and rewrite the World Line so Kallen would never die. He made Kiana the final person who could free him from the Tree, while keeping a plan to regress civilization if she failed.

• Otto used Kiana’s destruction of the Theater to seize the Thousand-Person Consciousness Network, then drew the Will of Honkai’s attention and offered humanity’s accumulated souls in exchange for Kallen’s return.
• Otto used Durandal as an anchor to reach the Imaginary Tree, concealed his plan from her, and left Theresa in charge of Schicksal while preparing the world to fear Honkai.
• Otto lured Kiana and her companions to Kolosten, where trials strengthened them and revealed Durandal as the real Kiana Kaslana, while Bronya and Fu Hua were also drawn into his design.
• Otto dismantled Kolosten into a ritual pillar, using Kiana and Durandal’s emotions to reach the Tree and claim the Binding Authority, which stopped their attacks.
• Otto reshaped reality and climbed to a temple above the clouds, where the Imaginary Tree ordered him to destroy civilization, and he relied on Kiana to sever its control.
• Otto blamed humanity for Kallen’s death while suppressing his own responsibility, then urged Kiana to use her power against him so she could cut his connection to the Tree.
• Otto revealed that he would regress civilization by five hundred years if Kiana failed, and Tang San proposed that Kiana make him consider whether Kallen would accept a resurrection bought with everyone’s lives.

Otto and Kevin’s paths converged on the Ice Field, where Kiana and Durandal fought Otto and broke his hold on the Imaginary Tree. Otto sacrificed his existence to create a world where Kallen could live without Honkai, but her execution remained fixed, leaving a lasting crack in history.

• Kiana drove her sword through Otto, destroying his False God shell, and Otto used the strike to sever his ties to the current World Line.
• Otto offered his existence to the Tree to create a World Line where Kallen could live without him, and a new branch began to grow as he vanished.
• The new World Line gave Kallen a peaceful life free of Honkai, but the observers learned that her death would still occur through convergence.
• Otto’s sacrifice resonated with Kallen’s execution across time, briefly making fixed history dynamic as he was erased from causality.
• The Tree restored Kallen’s death as an ordinary event, but the two timelines left a lasting crack in history, and Kallen had looked toward Otto during their overlap.
