[Tesla: They might even think that everything he does is for greater power!]
Durandal: Even we, in the realm of Destiny, would never hear such words from the current Bishop.
Rita: Over five hundred years have only deepened Lord Otto's obsession.
Charlotte: There are probably very few people in the world as loyal as Mr. Otto...
[Su Chang: Waaah, I really don't want to be moved by this bad guy... but I just can't help it....]
And in the picture.
Even Tesla couldn't help but question it.
"Don't you have your own life?"
"A future Bishop of Destiny, a figure who has influenced the fate of the world for five hundred years—yet he is merely a walking shadow, a pitiful puppet?"
"...You seem quite surprised."
Otto? He gave a slightly bitter smile.
"I think it's because you live in an environment that's open enough that you've forgotten how rare and fragile free will is."
"You must understand, for ordinary people like me—[always self-righteously busy on stage, creating countless noises, yet the meaning of life is pitifully small '940'.]"
"【Tomorrow...tomorrow, tomorrow just keeps crawling across my inorganic face...】"
"[Until now, until the very last second of time, until they all become yesterday.]"
"—You seem very familiar with Shakespeare's works, Mr. Otto from another world."
"Ah, yes. Karen and I both met her once."
“When I was 12, I also met a Shakespeare from another world. She was a captain and taught me a lot during our journey.”
Durandal recalls her experiences in the World Bubble
"She enabled me to view the people and things around me with a more independent perspective and to make decisions about my actions at every moment based on facts."
“She helped me shape my values, so I hope to use her topic as an opportunity to get everyone to take practical action.”
"Everyone, it was the lost Herrscher core that brought us to this point of cooperation. It goes without saying that almost everyone here is worried that this cooperation will be ruined by someone who doesn't play by the rules."
"But what I want to say is—precisely because that person doesn't like to play by the rules, we should work together to resolve the problem cleanly and efficiently before he gets involved in the whole thing."
Under Durandal's words.
Everyone was silent.
Theresa nodded first and spoke.
"...Indeed, as Durandal said, the fundamental purpose of our cooperation is to eliminate the dangerous effects of the Honkai."
"Therefore, let's leave the theoretical discussions here. I will now reiterate the action plan that was previously decided upon—"
"First, in general, we need to detect spatial anomalies at several locations that are suspected to be the puppet strings of the Herrscher of Domination, in order to determine the location of the Herrscher core in the alternate dimension."
"Second, the personnel who specifically carried out the testing included Dr. Tesla, Miss Durandal, Kiana, Mr. Otto from another world, and myself."
"Third, based on the actual geographical distance, we will prioritize conducting the first round of testing at St. 1491 Square to obtain the first batch of data about the Herrscher core."
"Everyone, time is of the essence, let's take action!"
With Theresa's words.
The group nodded in agreement.
The members of Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and Hyperion have once again reached a cooperation agreement under the threat of the Herrscher!
And Otto in the shadows.
This forces everyone to be constantly vigilant.
Not long after.
"This place is called St. 1491 Square... Is it really to commemorate our deeds in overthrowing the old destiny? This feeling is really strange."
"Yes, that's right. It was named by Ms. Otto Vera herself—ah, for you, she should still be called Vera, right?"
Theresa said.
But something suddenly occurred to me.
Looking at the otherworldly Otto before him.
Otto Vera's surname was the last gift Otto gave Vera when she passed away.
Upon hearing this, Otto from another world showed a thoughtful expression.
"Hmm...Is that so? In that case, although I don't know why I came to your world, Vera shouldn't have encountered any major problems in her original world, right?"
"Perhaps. Anyway, you probably won't be able to go back until we solve the problem of the Herrscher core—since you're here, you might as well make the best of it."
Tesla remains as nonchalant as ever.
Then he gave this otherworldly Otto a few words of advice.
Otto? He nodded and said sincerely.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely follow your instructions and try my best not to hold you back."
"I hope so. Although I won't say anything harsh to you like that doctor did, you should understand that I have no obligation to be polite to you."
Although Otto from another world had a very good attitude.
But Kiana still couldn't develop any liking for that face.
The thought of the tragic experiences that he and his companions had endured filled him with a profound sense of loss.
Himeko's image also flashed through my mind.
Kiana's tone grew increasingly harsh, and she turned her head slightly away from Otto's face.
But something unexpected happened.
The otherworldly Otto before them remained humble and polite despite the unfriendly tone of the crowd.
I carefully wrote down all the instructions.
"...Yes! I'll keep that in mind."
For a while.
The viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but marvel.
[Xiangling: It's hard to imagine Otto had this side to him....]
[Furina: Otto, you're so good!!]
[Rita: What an adorable bishop!!!]
Kiana: I still get angry when I see Otto's face... but I wish the real Otto was like that!
March 7th: Time can change a person so much...
[Keqing: It's not just about time.]
[Ningguang: All of this... is because of his obsession with Kallen. It took over five hundred years to completely change Otto...]
then.
The group of people in the video also collected data at several locations in the square.
"We still have two destinations to go, let's keep up this pace!"
Just as Tesla was confidently declaring its determination to move forward, someone's communicator inopportunely beeped with a series of notification sounds.
And for some reason, Tesla felt a chill run down his spine!
"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
"This is Durandal."
""
Durandal answered the Destiny communicator.
A moment of silence followed.
A sense of foreboding arose in everyone's hearts.
"Yes, Theresa and Kiana Kaslana are both with me."
""
Then another silence.
Clearly, someone on the other end of the communicator was saying something.
"Okay, I'll switch the communication to a public channel."
Durandal looked at everyone
“It’s Amber. The bishop ordered her to relay the message to us.”
Suddenly, news of Otto arrived.
Theresa frowned.
(Hmm?...Given Grandpa's style, why would he beat around the bush like this?)
But before Theresa could think any further,
Amber's image appeared in the communication.
"Good day, Lady Theresa, Lady Durandal, and everyone in the Hyperion. This is Amber, the private secretary of the Archbishop of Schicksal."
"His Holiness says that he and Lady Rita have located the core of the Herrscher of Dominion in St. 537 Church; he wishes I could convey this information to you all."
"Rita? Wasn't she on a mission to the World Serpent? Also, was the bishop's claim that he was going through the formalities for his resignation just a cover-up?"
"His Holiness only said that he and Lady Rita had located the whereabouts of the Herrscher of Dominion's core in the Church of St. 537."
"As for how the bishop quickly located the Herrscher's core, and why Lady Rita appeared there—please forgive me for not being able to directly inquire about the relevant reasons."
Amber shook her head, her expression unreadable.
Tesla immediately became furious.
"What is this? Have we been tricked by that old geezer again?!"
"His Excellency the Bishop said that as long as everyone goes to St. 537 Church together, he can help the Hyperion obtain this Herrscher Core!"
Theresa, however, immediately understood what Otto meant.
"Everyone? Amber, who exactly does he intend to have attend?"
“It’s Lady Theresa. And Lady Durandal, Miss Kiana—and the other Mr. Otto you’ve discovered.”
"me?"
"Yes, His Highness believes that your presence is indispensable in order to fully obtain the core of the Herrscher of Dominion."
Although Amber remained polite.
But Otto's idea has touched a nerve with everyone!
"Damn it, the news leaked?! But with so many people watching, it's understandable! Theresa, what do you think?"
"Although the Church of St. 537 was originally our target for exploration, who knew that this guy would have to go there to solve the problem at hand."
"The good news is that since Amber said that Grandpa and Rita have located the core, we don't need to send out all our forces."
Theresa looked at amber
“Amber, please tell Grandpa that Theresa will go to St. 537 Church to provide support. Since she has her own way of locating the Herrscher core, why bother with Kiana?”
Amber remained silent for two seconds.
It seems they are seeking Otto's opinion.
"The bishop said that the Herald of the Flame can be absent."
"But he emphasized that in this situation, the help of another Mr. Otto would be essential."
"It is my duty to do what I can."
Otto nodded, agreeing to the request Amber relayed.
