[Einstein: It's absolutely impossible for it to be as easy as Otto makes it sound! It requires enormous energy!]
[Himeko Hoshino: After all... this is the Imaginary Tree! How could Otto possibly influence the Imaginary Tree?!]
Durandal: But it seems His Excellency has already made ample preparations...
[Theresa: ...Grandpa's plan...will it involve the sacrifice of many people?!]
[Otto: My dear Theresa, your grandfather isn't a devil; he wouldn't kill people randomly.]
[March 7th: I have a feeling... a huge conspiracy is about to unfold...]
in the picture.
It seems to be to confirm Otto's conspiracy.
On board the Hyperion.
After an hour of intensive analysis, the preliminary analysis of the Herrscher collision experiment data has been completed.
But the experimental results were...
To the surprise of Tesla and Einstein!
Despite numerous deductions, a reasonable conclusion could not be reached!
"Tesla isn't... Have you ever considered this possibility...?"
"Hmm? What possibility? Stop keeping me in suspense and just say it!"
"Before we conducted the Herrscher collision experiment... the power to control the Herrschers may have already collapsed into an extra dimension."
"?!"
"What I mean is—perhaps someone has interfered with or exploited the powers of the Dominator."
"Then...then there's only one person who had the opportunity to do this, right?! Damn it! How did I still get tricked by him?!"
moment!
Dr. Tesla also realized what was happening!
Otto tampered with the core of the Herrscher of Dominion!
"Quickly inform Theresa! Otto has completely stolen the power of the Herrscher of Dominion!!"
at this time!
The two doctors were startled!
What Otto left them... was nothing more than a core that had lost its power as a Herrscher of Dominion, a core that was now just an empty shell!

For the first time, the crew of the Hyperion truly realized the real danger lurking within their destiny-bound voyage.

[18:35 PM]
[Inside the Hyperion, a floating warship]
"Report! Suspicious activity has been detected continuously in the one o'clock direction, suspected to be over a hundred unidentified life forms!"
"Report! The bio-infrared data of all observed targets are consistent with those of Bishop Otto Apocalypse!"
"Report! All engines are started, please give instructions!"
"Report! The Hyperion's main guns are fully charged. Requesting instructions!"
In a moment.
Countless reports echoed throughout the Hyperion's command center.
Theresa immediately issued orders for combat preparations.
Although Otto hasn't done anything extraordinary so far.
However, the people's vigilance towards Otto never diminished.
At least for now.
No one even knows what Otto's plan and purpose are!
"Radar and signal teams, continue monitoring enemy movements! Engine and gun crews, maintain your current status and stand by, ensuring the Hyperion is ready for combat at any time!"
“Ms. Theresa, there are unidentified external communications attempting to contact the Hyperion.”
"Let's get it connected, it's about time."
With Theresa's consent to access
An Otto cybernetic body appeared in the communication system.
Otto (cyborg): "All personnel, whether Chosen or not, deployed in Klossen Town, please remain in place and stand by until further notice."
Immediately.
Theresa frowned and said
"Puppet, please don't waste everyone's time. I need to speak with the real Otto Apocalypse."
Otto (prosthetic body): "Illegal operation. Protocol does not exist."
Otto (cyborg): "All personnel, whether Chosen or not, deployed in Klossen Town, please remain in place and stand by until further notice."
Immediately.
Looking at the puppet Otto who mechanically repeated the same sentence.
Everyone in the command room was furious.
Tesla, known for its straightforwardness, also spoke up.
"Tsk, what's this? Their underhanded dealings were exposed, so they just hide and give us the cold shoulder?!"
Beside her, Fu Hua, who knew Otto well, slowly spoke.
"...This is his usual tactic when he intends to do things his own way."
"Use a shield to delay others while secretly fait accompli behind the scenes."
"Damn it! What the hell is this bastard planning to do?!"
"I don't know! But to be on the safe side, we must set off immediately and find him ourselves!"
"Just as Fu Hua said, if we waste time here, it might play right into Grandpa's hands."
Theresa raised her hand and touched her chin.
This action is almost identical to Otto's behavior when he is speaking and thinking.
This is enough to prove that Theresa has been learning from Otto without her noticing, and she has never shaken off Otto's shadow.
Also at this time.
"Oh, that's a very good analysis, my dear granddaughter Theresa. It seems you've grown a lot during the time you've been away from me."
Otto's voice suddenly came from the Otto prosthetic body in the communication system.
obviously.
At this moment, this body... is now being controlled by Otto himself!
"What, are you surprised by this kind of switching anytime, anywhere? I think at least those two anti-entropy doctors over there shouldn't be surprised."
"After all...you already witnessed it once more than sixty years ago, didn't you?"
Suddenly.
Otto's words stirred up some very unpleasant memories for Tesla and Einstein!
then!
They watched helplessly as Otto took over Leanna's account and killed the Finn in front of everyone!
"You—you bastard!"
"Hahaha, please don't be angry, Dr. Tesla."
Looking at the furious Tesla.
Otto burst into laughter with an incredibly wicked sense of amusement, as if provoking Tesla was some kind of great pleasure.
"What I'm about to do will be of great benefit to all of you!"
"Benefits?! Very well, I'd like to hear what kind of self-righteous fallacies you'll spout this time!"
"Arrogant? ...Indeed, in this matter, perhaps no one is more arrogant than me."
Otto gracefully raised his hand, looking at the group with a touch of solemnity.
But the words spoken.
This shocked everyone in the command center and even the viewers watching on the screen!
"Gentlemen, let us celebrate for the future of humanity."
"In the end, I will sacrifice myself to buy humanity an extra five hundred years from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, giving you ample time to fight against the Honkai."
!!!
Suddenly.
The command room was completely silent.
Otto's short sentence contained far too much information!
They heard right!
Otto just said he was going to sacrifice himself...
Could this buy humanity another five hundred years from the Tree of Imaginary Numbers to fight against the Honkai?
Regardless of how feasible such an exchange with the tree of imaginary numbers is.
How utterly unbelievable that sounds!
These words are so great that they need no further explanation!
Could it have come from Otto's mouth?!
That's even more of a fantasy...
[Keqing: Uh...did I hear that right?]
Theresa: How is it possible to achieve this from the tree of imaginary numbers?!
[Tesla: Impossible, absolutely impossible! (Slaps bowl!)]
[March 7th: Otto is going to sacrifice himself to buy humanity five hundred years?! Is this guy really Otto?!]
[Einstein: Bypassing the will to collapse... and starting directly from the source? But the biggest problem is... how do we do that?]
[Himeko Hoshino: This guy is definitely not that simple!!]
While everyone was speculating...
on the screen.
Otto's beloved Theresa, however, keenly sensed something; the timing... was far too coincidental!
"More than five hundred... years?!"
"Oh dear, it seems my lovely granddaughter has realized something."
Otto chuckled.
He looked at Theresa with a sense of relief.
After that, she showed no intention of hiding anything and, as always, openly revealed her thoughts.
On this point, many viewers still greatly admire Otto.
At least he wasn't like many villains who liked to play riddles and remain a riddle-maker until the very end.
"That's right. To my self-righteous self, these five hundred years are nothing more than a byproduct."
"I remember saying not long ago that I would soon embark on my final journey to the other side of the world to find that one and only existence."
