I'm Done Being Captain! Otto!
"I think this character is the essence of the book."
Otto smiled at this moment, "Willing to sacrifice himself for the saintess, he is too confident in his own wisdom and has not considered the saintess's thoughts at all."
"He was hailed as a genius, but in reality, his arrogance and stupidity destroyed his long-held aspirations."
"In reality, he is the most, most, most stupid fool in the world."
"Such an assessment is truly brilliant. Such a person is truly the biggest idiot in the world."
After Otto finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Is that so? I think this character is also the smartest man in the world."
"He can see the true nature of this world and knows very well what he wants."
"However, the world has given him this wisdom, and it has also destined him to be cursed by it, destined to constantly lose everything he values. In the end, he will lose even himself."
Mo Wang looked at Otto, his previous carefree expression vanishing, replaced by a serious one.
"Really? So that's how you see this character."
Otto didn't say much at this moment, but instead looked at Mo Wang in front of him in a daze.
"I don't think that intelligence and stupidity are necessarily opposites. Many people who are seen as geniuses by outsiders have also done things that are seen as incredibly stupid by outsiders."
"Some foolish people can sometimes make correct judgments that are hard for ordinary people to imagine. This in itself is a manifestation of the complexity of the human role."
"However, in my opinion, this character's ending was destined to be not good."
Mo Wang then said.
"Well, for that person, their own fate, good or bad, isn't really important. All that matters to them is achieving their goal, isn't it?"
Otto acted very casually at this moment, talking to Mo Wang as if he were a friend rather than Mo Wang's boss.
Upon hearing Otto's words, Mo Wang couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, it was precisely because of Otto's consistent attitude that he couldn't figure out what this guy in front of him really wanted to do.
In fact, when they were playing the Yugi, Mo Wang never understood Otto's thoughts until Otto died.
In the early part of the story, Otto consistently portrayed himself as a madman who wanted to resurrect Kallen.
At the time, everyone thought that Otto was constantly reviving the Herrscher in order to give birth to the Herrscher of Death and eventually revive Kallen.
However, later on, everything Otto did became incomprehensible.
When facing Kevin, this person resolutely gave up the Void Archive he used to control Schicksal and chose to obtain the location coordinates of the Thousand Worlds Realm from Kevin.
He then transformed into the Pseudo-God Otto.
In the end, Otto exerted so much effort, even burning his own existence to the ground, but what did he gain?
It's just a new parallel world where Kallen is still alive, but she herself is dead.
The shift from initially wanting the Herrscher of Death to later sacrificing his own life to create a new timeline seems like a huge disconnect.
Otto put in so much effort, only to create this timeline, and in the end, Kallen still died. This made Mo Wang feel that this was probably not Otto's true purpose.
"Bishop, what do you think this person is trying to do?"
Mo Wang looked at this old man, whom he did dislike but also respected.
"Hmm, who knows? Maybe this person never really understood what they wanted?"
"Perhaps, as this book says, this man simply wanted to give that girl, destined to be cursed by the world, another possibility."
Otto said with a relaxed expression.
"Another possibility?"
Looking at Otto like this, Mo Wang couldn't help but understand Otto's meaning.
In fact, from Otto's conversation with Kevin and his confession, Mo Wang already knew that MEI, like Kallen, was a being cursed by the Honkai.
In every world, Kallen ultimately dies a violent death. Her end is incredibly tragic.
After Otto burned himself out and created a new timeline, the other worlds Mo Wang unaware of this, but in the Captain's timeline, Kallen, who Luna, inexplicably survived.
They also embarked on a journey to other World Bubble with the Captain.
If we think about it this way, could it be that Otto rewrote the underlying logic of the Imaginary Tree by burning himself out, giving Kallen an extra chance to survive, and subsequently allowing Kallen in countless worlds to survive?
If that's the case, Otto's methods are far too terrifying.
Mo Wang then looked at Otto, who had a half-smile on his face, and began to ponder Otto's subsequent actions.
He first severely injured Fu Hua, then used his own methods to restore Fu Hua to her most perfect state, and then had Kiana and her companions come to stop him. Was it really that simple?
Mo Wang then recalled that before the transmigration, it was said that Otto replaced Theresa, who was originally supposed to become the Herrscher of Domination, and that the post- Post-Honkai Odyssey the original one.
Could it be that Otto is actually secretly making up for the flaws that Kiana might have left over when she became the Finality, so that the side effects of Kiana becoming the Finality are not so great?
(The current Post-Honkai Odyssey is definitely a different timeline. In the Post-Honkai Odyssey 3rd, Mei is still the Herrscher of Thunder and even has a core. According to the story, Kiana should be asleep on the moon, not like in the current version where she can chat with everyone, the Valkyrie can go to the moon, and she can even make appearances in events. I don't know if Otto did this, so just take it as it comes (funny JPG))
"Although the man in the story did give up a lot of himself, there is one thing I think he was quite determined about."
"That means he must want to save the world."
Otto then spoke to Mo Wang.
"Yes, but in his heart, saving the world would definitely require sacrificing many things."
"If I were to face this person, and he dared to try to take something important from me, I would definitely not let him get away with it."
Mo Wang stared coldly at Otto, and the atmosphere around them instantly turned icy.
Even if what this person is doing is right, would you still agree?
Otto looked at Mo Wang, his eyes also turning dangerous.
"Isn't that certain, my dear Bishop?"
"Everyone has something they cherish, and they would give their life to protect it."
"I think you, Bishop, are the same kind of person, aren't you? Just like our Schicksal —to fight to protect all that is good."
Facing Otto, Mo Wang's face broke into a smile. "Besides," he said, "How can you be so sure that everything this person has done is right?"
"Perhaps there are other ways, who knows?"
Mo Wang to look at Otto at this moment.
Although he also wanted to save the saintess, he regretted that Mo Wang was not so noble if it came at the cost of the suffering of the people he cherished.
"Unfortunately, the world isn't that wonderful. Just like in Yugi, it's impossible to get a good ending without paying any price."
Otto said coldly to Mo Wang.
"That's right, but I think if this happy ending requires the sacrifice of others, then it can't be called a happy ending at all."
"I will sacrifice myself before I sacrifice others."
Mo Wang looked at Otto seriously and said, "Thinking about sacrificing others before even giving it your all is not Mo Wang style."
Otto looked at Mo Wang in front of him and was momentarily lost in thought.
Looking at Mo Wang, who was arguing with him, Otto couldn't help but recall how he first met this child ten years ago.
(Has this kid finally grown up?)
"Is that so? Then let's leave it at that."
Otto shook his head helplessly at this moment.
"Just like you said, there is no path in this world that is necessarily the right one."
"Let's see who chooses the best path."
Otto smiled at this moment, and his gaze toward Mo Wang finally changed from initial disdain to seriousness.
It's like watching an opponent.
"Mo Wang!"
Just then, Fu Hua's voice came from behind Mo Wang.
"What are you doing here? Everyone's been looking for you for ages."
"Wait, why are you here too?"
At this moment, Fu Hua walked over and, upon seeing Otto, a look of wariness appeared on her face.
"Haha, it's nothing. I just saw this kid after finishing work tonight, so I asked him to walk with me for a bit."
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything strange."
Seeing Fu Hua's wary expression, Otto couldn't help but smile, his expression returning to its previous gentle state.
"Just taking a walk?"
Fu Hua looked at Otto suspiciously; she didn't believe that the man in front of her was such a free spirit.
"Of course, we also talked about the novel."
"I have to say, after chatting with the original author for a bit, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming plot even more."
Otto waved the novel in his hand and then spoke to Fu Hua.
"That's all?"
Fu Hua looked even more puzzled.
"Otherwise, what do you think I would do? Don't mistake me for a ruthless killer, okay? My old friend."
After Otto finished speaking, he casually walked past the two of them.
"Alright, that's enough for today. I need to prepare for the meeting the day after tomorrow. Please look forward to it, Captain of the Hyperion."
Otto then waved and left without hesitation.
"Oh, right! There's one more thing."
However, before Otto could take two more steps, Otto turned back.
"You'll be updating that novel, right?"
"Although I don't think that character will have a good ending, I still hope that I can continue writing."
"After all, once he has achieved his goal, perhaps no one will remember him."
Otto then looked at Mo Wang Wangdao.
"Heh, don't worry, Bishop! I won't let such an annoying character be forgotten."
"I'll definitely update on time next time, so look forward to it!"
Otto couldn't help but smile, and then he really left without looking back.
"Hey, what are you two talking about? Are you really discussing novels?"
After Otto walked away, Fu Hua finally couldn't help but ask Mo Wang a question.
"It's nothing, just like the bishop said, we just discussed the upcoming plot."
"What a troublesome old man. I need to think carefully about how to write a good ending for this plot."
After Mo Wang sighed, his expression darkened slightly.
Now that Otto is ready to make a move.
So this time, I have to play my own hand.
Chapter 286 I'm Resigning as Captain! Otto!
Time flew by, and the grand Schicksal conference was just two days away.
During this time, Otto did not contact Mo Wang again, as if he had completely forgotten about him.
There appeared to be no action taken during this period.
Meanwhile, Mo Wang acted as if nothing had happened, wandering around the headquarters with Wendy, Anna, and the three Honored Immortal.
It seems that nothing has changed from before.
Inside the conference room of the Schicksal Headquarters—
