Chapter 393: Finally showed the health bar; stunning villain portrayal

Let's not talk about the chat discussion for now.

Sister Yidian and Xiang Aili in front of the live stream were both deeply attracted by the conversation between Otto and Void Archives.

The two seem to be discussing Otto resurrecting Kallen.

But if you think deeply, you will find.

What the two are discussing is actually human nature.

"Void Archives, do you still remember the letter I wrote to that Welt?"

"We are all too fragile, so we can only exchange short-term peace through mutual threats..."

"And we have to use high-sounding words like 【order】 and 【ethics】 to cover up those despicable motives."

Otto sneered: "These words still hold true today; after all, humans always repeat the same mistakes—and even turn a blind eye to this fact itself."

Void Archives agreed with Otto's words, but at the same time, he "kindly" reminded:

"I think... these statements are also perfect for criticizing yourself."

"Exactly, Void Archives~" Otto chuckled.

"Whether it's K423, Durandal, Theresa, or Welt... you could say they all inherited Kallen's mantle from different angles."

"【Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs】, for the world before us, it really doesn't need Kallen's brave heart to beat again from the grave."

After hearing Otto's words, Void Archives couldn't help but tease: "Some people pretend to be confused while knowing the truth, and you, perhaps should be called 【knowing the truth, yet deliberately pretending to be confused】."

"Hehehe... this is what you don't understand, Void Archives." Otto laughed.

But careful players noticed that Otto's laughter seemed to be deliberately covering up something.

And his voice when speaking was also rarely... somewhat excited.

"So-called human emotions are originally a desire that one would rather harm others and oneself than release."

"It's just that by general definition, 【good people】 are good at using reason to control emotions, while 【bad people】 are used to letting emotions dominate their reason."

"As for the so-called 【rational bad people】... they live their lives as machines that only calculate interests, not even worthy of being called 【human】."

Void Archives: "... Is that so? I actually think you are also just such a 【rational bad person】 right now."

Void Archives' words were like saying Otto wasn't even worthy of being called a human.

And when Otto said those words, he didn't exclude himself.

Must say, Otto is indeed a 【rational bad person】.

So rational that he knew how abominable his actions were, but he did them anyway.

And facing Void Archives' words, Otto also replied very frankly: "I didn't deny that I'm not worthy of being called 【human】."

"Rather... I know very well that I am the culmination of such dregs."

"Didn't I say... humans always believe emotionally that the people we love are immortal and eternal."

"And I am just a fool who lets such emotions dominate my reason and constantly calculates interests for it."

At this moment, Otto's voice sounded incredibly excited.

Even with a feeling of slight trembling.

And after hearing these words from Otto, the players' hearts were also incredibly complex.

To say Otto is a madman... he can clearly recognize himself.

To say he is not a madman, his actions are no different from a madman.

Paired with his very excited tone at this time, the players had a strange feeling in their hearts.

It seems... Otto doesn't actually want to be such a bad person, but... he doesn't regret doing these things for Kallen.

This feeling is too contradictory.

And this contradictory feeling makes people want to applaud.

This memory plot, this writing exploring the human heart, is really written too well.

Among the entertainment works in this world, "Honkai Impact 3rd" is absolutely unique in being able to portray a villain so well-rounded.

Sister Yidian couldn't help but marvel.

"The difference between 【bad people】 and 【good people】 is the difference between reason dominating desire and desire dominating reason..."

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs..."

"Tsk... this writing is really good~"

……

And the chat was also frantically praising.

In the past, whenever Otto appeared in the plot, players would shout to cut Otto.

But this time, besides praising this plot, the chat was discussing Otto's mood at this time.

There were no voices of 【crusading against Otto】 at all.

……

【"Honkai Impact 3rd"'s plot and writing... is simply perfect...】

【The character Otto is really... I'm crying to death.】

【Otto's words are self-mockery, he is very clear, fully understanding what he has done...】

【I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that Otto is using a bitter smile to demonstrate his sadness.】

【Indeed, this voice acting is also good... although the Mihuyou boss is not human when giving out knives, the game quality is definitely worth praising.】

【This is the best-portrayed villain I've ever seen...】

……

In the game, after Otto finished mocking himself, Durandal had already arrived at the church.

"Look, the first person to come to settle accounts with me is already close at hand."

Otto greeted in a very friendly tone:

"Welcome, my dear friend, Destiny's premier S-rank Valkyrie~"

Immediately following, his tone changed, and the game music also changed abruptly, becoming incredibly serious, like a horn before battle.

"—If it were an hour ago, I would definitely have greeted you like that, Durandal~"

Durandal was silent for a while, then asked straightforwardly: "Someone told me that you might 【destroy the present and then re-choose the past】 in the upcoming plan."

"What does this mean?"

Otto smiled: "Judging from the statement you quoted, it must have been Chang Guang who told you~"

Otto naturally knew about the information Chang Guang left for Durandal and the others.

"I once asked Chang Guang to design several different world reconstruction plans—but in short, the most expensive plan has the strongest stability."

"If I state the conclusion directly, you will inevitably be confused, so let me spend some time starting from the beginning~"

Another long explanation.

The relationship between 【saving】 and 【loading】.

Using the present as a cost, making the starting point of the world 500 years ago.

"Imagine—disasters like the Second Honkai can be written off; and modern people like us will bring our own experience to help humanity grow again."

"The results of such a result far exceed the losses~"

"Frankly speaking, I don't like World Serpent's Stigmata Project. But now, Destiny has missed the best time to stop it, returning to the origin is also creating opportunities for ourselves to reconstruct the world situation."

"And 【He】 is also happy to appreciate such a drama that subverts space-time."

"At that time, the Honkai Will will lower the 【door】 of the Imaginary Tree for me; and I will become 【His】 agent in the human world in this matter."

Durandal finally understood completely at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 395 =====
