[Hu Tao: It's not just time... there are other things affecting Otto!]
Fu Xuan: It's an obsession.
[Xianyun: That's right, it's the guilt and obsession he feels towards Kallen. This has caused Otto countless torments over the past five hundred years, leading to his increasingly extreme nature!]
[Himeko Hoshino: If Kallen hadn't died...would Otto be the same person he is today?]
Fu Hua: Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
reality.
Inside the Tianming headquarters.
Otto continued to smile as he looked at the person appearing on the screen, who was likely himself from five hundred years ago in a parallel world.
His face also carried a hint of nostalgia and emotion.
Him at that time.
Although he too was still immersed in Karen's death and unable to move on.
But it still retains the brilliance of humanity...
Unlike myself now.
It has withstood the test of time and the marks of countless failures and unwavering determination.
He's now a despicable, pathetic person, reduced to nothing but pure rationality...
but.
Just as my old friend said.
There are no ifs in the world.
All he can do is move steadily and relentlessly toward the finish line, step by step.
He will arrive.
That world where Kallen exists.
And they rest here forever.
soon.
The conversation between the people in the scene was also interrupted by the continuous appearance of monsters.
After defeating the monster.
Durandal suddenly proposed a hypothesis.
"—Dr. Tesla, could you please examine Mr. Otto to see if he has any kind of linear spatial anomaly?"
"?"
"Oh, I see! That's certainly possible, and worth a try!"
Tesla immediately understood Durandal's idea.
soon.
"I've already adjusted the parameters. Here, put on these glasses and take a look."
"This is—the puppet strings of a doll?! No wonder the unexpected incident we just encountered was also related to the Herrscher of Domination?"
When Theresa saw the familiar Herrscher of Domination threads connecting Otto, she couldn't help but gasp!
"Hmph... Once this is discovered, then what just happened is no longer an unexpected incident."
"No wonder we couldn't find that damned Herrscher core before! Look! It's now entangled with innocent beings in other dimensions!"
"Hmm, this does indeed resemble the puppet strings described in the report. Doctor, if we follow this string directly, wouldn't we be able to—"
"Ah, it's not that simple. After all, the other party may not be in the same dimensional base as us."
Tesla, with a hint of confidence on his face, then said...
"But don't worry! Thanks to those puppets that have been tormenting us, Anti-Entropy is now an expert at dealing with this trick! In short, as long as we have enough data, we can calculate the core's coordinates!"
then.
To investigate the secret behind these puppet threads!
Also, in order to track down the location of the core of the Herrscher of Dominion! To send Otto from this other timeline five hundred years ago back to his original world.
The group then reported the situation back to Hyperion!
Begin the reconnaissance of several specific coordinates!
But to everyone's surprise...
The Valkyrie of Destiny didn't have the awkwardness she imagined when interacting with the others on the Hyperion!
Durandal: "Long time no see, Kiana Kaslana."
Kiana: "Yeah, when I escaped from you guys before, I never imagined that we would have a day when we would fight side by side like this."
Durandal: "It could be said that the cause of fighting against the Honkai has brought our paths together again."
"That's right, that's right! Let the unpleasant past remain in the past—the future of the Destiny Organization will ultimately belong to our generation!"
"Mr. Otto Apocalypse has found his true path before resigning! His future will most likely not overlap with ours."
Suddenly.
The former research director of Tianming's rapid-fire remarks startled everyone!
Changguang... seems to know many of Otto's secrets?!
Tesla: "Huh??"
Theresa: "What do you mean by 'not overlapping'?"
Durandal: "Long Light, what is it?"
"Ah, just to clarify, this is just speculation. Although I consider it a reasonable speculation."
"I believe that Mr. Otto did indeed find a way to [go back in time] in his previous experiments!"
moment!
Chang Guang's words were always surprising, leaving everyone watching on screen astonished!
Otto...
A way to go back in time has been found?!
Please give me flowers...
Wouldn't that mean... we could stop them before anything even happens?
Wouldn't that... prevent Kallen's death?
But wait!!
Many extraordinary individuals suddenly realized that if they could really go back to the past, then all of this was possible.
But... that alone makes it impossible to accomplish!!
And in the picture.
Several people immediately raised questions as well.
Theresa: "Going back to the past? Do you mean time travel?"
Tesla: "That's impossible! Any physics that allows this world to function properly cannot support the existence of time travel!"
Tesla: "Even if we capture this strange Otto, he can't possibly be the Otto himself from 500 years ago, can he?"
"That's right, Tesla was right. The kind of time travel that twists spacetime into a fatalistic pretzel, as depicted in science fiction, is indeed impossible."
"But...from an ontological perspective, I think Mr. Otto still has a way to 'go back to the past' in some sense."
"You should also know that our world is not the so-called 'limit of existence'—beyond the world, there are the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of Quanta that influence our destiny."
"This is one of the results of our various experiments. From the experiment to activate the Second Divine Key, to the attempt to connect the World Bubble to the Imaginary Tree—"
"We can conclude that time, beyond this world, also has its own laws; it does not degenerate into absolute chaos and disorder! More specifically... there, the reversal of time is free! [Time does not move forward in a fixed manner]"
"To use a game analogy, from your perspective, your game journey has no turning back, and every choice has only been made once."
""
""
After a lengthy explanation.
Changguang finally explained Otto's attempt to go back in time in words that everyone present could understand.
Of course, he glanced at Kiana, who was deep in thought to herself.
Changguang subconsciously excluded them from the group of people he could understand.
"The truly important fact for you all lies in the motivation! That is, Mr. Otto will never let go of any opportunity to [go back to the past]!"
And aside.
Otto, who lived more than five hundred years ago, also sighed.
"Ah... I see."
"If there really were five hundred years, perhaps such changes would really happen to me."
"If that person has lived for more than five hundred years... then the obsession in his heart must be ten times, or even a hundred times, more than mine."
"I don't think that person would question their own behavior because of some external information, just like I did."
He truly is another Otto.
His understanding of himself was incisive.
Tesla couldn't help but agree.
"Yes, there is no one in this world more unconventional than him—ah, no, perhaps Kevin, who has lived for over 50,000 years, could be considered another!"
"But you're right, I simply can't imagine that person making any changes because of what others say or do."
Otto? He nodded, deep in thought as he analyzed the situation.
"—So, what prompted him to make the choice to change the status quo must have been some inherent will of his own."
“I do not consider myself a power-hungry person. The direct reason I joined the rebels against the Mandate of Heaven was that they raised the banner of the Holy Maiden.”
"From a selfish point of view, I might just be trying to prevent the name Karen from experiencing any more failures."
“My motives may seem ridiculous or insignificant to you, but you should understand that when Karen died, the part of me that could be called ‘self’ also disappeared.”
"So to be honest, and to be a little selfish, I also want to go back to the past, back to the days when Karen was still alive, back to the time when I still had a self."
"I think that person... he's probably even more like that."
For a while.
With Otto's own confession from over five hundred years ago.
Everyone present fell silent.
My emotions are still hard to calm down!
They were all deeply moved by Otto's words!
...For the past five hundred years, Otto seems to have lived for Karen!
Otto, more than five hundred years later, would not easily tell anyone these words.
Still borrowing from him more than five hundred years ago...
Only then did everyone present feel so directly, so profoundly, and so deeply moved by Otto's love that encompassed the entire world!

[March 7th: A small, touching display of passion for our sisters who are against entropy!]
Tesla: Indeed... If it weren't for this exposure, none of us would know when Otto's deep-seated obsession would have been known...
