Chapter 433

……

The barrage of comments flew by, but Xiang Aili and Sister Yidian were watching this dialogue with great seriousness.

"My lord... we have stopped the insane plan you spoke of, so now—"

"You should tell us your true purpose, shouldn't you?"

Hearing this from Miss You Lan Dai, Otto couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha... you really are persistent, Bianca."

"Things have reached this point, yet you are still unwilling to treat me as an enemy?"

Otto, a shrewd man, precisely grasped the key point in Miss You Lan Dai's words.

She said "the plan you spoke of," not "your plan."

A difference of two characters, yet it made Otto feel a rare sense of comfort.

His light chuckle was not a fake smile either.

Honestly, with things having reached this point, that Miss You Lan Dai did not treat him as an enemy made Otto genuinely happy inside.

"I certainly cannot forgive the things you have done to me... but I will not forget the cultivation you gave me."

"And I still believe... that..."

"Deep in your heart, you still believe in some form in the things you taught us to believe."

Hearing these words from Miss You Lan Dai, even Otto felt a slight stir in his heart.

In this world, perhaps only Sister De Li Sha and Miss You Lan Dai would look at him, this villain, with different eyes...

Although for Karen, he was willing to be that kind of villain.

But who truly wants to be someone reviled by all...

"Heh... stubborn child..."

His sigh seemed to carry a hint of choking back tears.

"To be honest, from the very beginning today, I hoped all of you would stand on the opposite side of me and treat me as a heinous villain—"

"Although the former was indeed successful, the latter... it seems it failed after all."

"But regardless, you have indeed defeated me, defeated 【Him】 behind me."

"This is a remarkable achievement—utilize those experiences, and you will eventually defeat the Honkai and bring lasting light to this world you cherish."

"And I also have the opportunity... to do something similar for the world I cherish... accurately speaking, it is to hand a lost torch back into 【Her】 hands."

Did Chongchong: "Her?"

And Miss You Lan Dai suddenly remembered something: "Could it be..."

"Haha... it seems you have all guessed the answer, haven't you?"

Otto smiled lightly, and then, he explained to the two girls exactly what he intended to do today.

To summarize, even though Otto had become an existence like a 【False God】, he was ultimately still a 【Slave】 to the Imaginary Tree.

Although this power was very strong, and although he had indeed gained the power to reshape the world.

But at the same time, there was no freedom to speak of... he still could not achieve his goal.

Then, Otto made a bet here.

He bet that human will could create miracles, that it could make the 【Laws】 of the Imaginary Tree become chaotic and submissive for that one instant.

And Otto would then have the opportunity to seize that instant, allowing him to bring the power that transcended reality on the 【Imaginary Tree】 to the point in time he chose, to create a new branch.

Although by doing this, Otto would also die completely and cease to exist.

As it turned out, he won the bet; Did Chongchong indeed relied on her anger and hatred toward him to help him break free from his shackles.

"Not only creating a fork in history but also making it so I no longer need to destroy the 【World】 you love."

"Don't you think this is a happy ending for everyone as it is now?"

It was indeed a happy ending for everyone.

Otto achieved his goal, Did Chongchong got her revenge, and at the same time, the Herrscher of Domination was also dealt with...

"Although the latter is not important to me, however..."

"Thank you for allowing me to witness the miracle that belongs only to her and me at the very last moment of my life."

"I will ultimately die carrying all my sins; and for you who still choose to move forward..."

"The ladder to conquer the Honkai has now revealed its first steps to you; the path is winding and tortuous, almost impossible to walk—"

"But at its end... there truly exists light!"

"Farewell, heroes."

"Tell Sister De Li Sha... it is a pity that her grandfather cannot attend her coronation ceremony."

……

【……】

【I don't know what to say anymore...】

【Otto has finished his role; it was clearly a happy ending for everyone... but after watching this dialogue, why am I actually reluctant to let Otto go? QAQ】

【Damn! I'm just pathetic QAQ】

【Otto truly believed in the beauty of the world...】

【Fun fact—Ragna's philosophy was passed down by Otto...】

【It seems "fight for all that is beautiful in the world" was also a slogan first shouted by Otto, right?】

【The philosophies he taught Miss You Lan Dai and Ragna were truly not just empty words...】

【Fate is a cruel jester... I wish there were a world where Karen didn't die and Otto fought the Honkai earnestly...】

【It really is the twilight of a fool... a fool who gave up everything for one woman.】

【Even the departure of a villain is made so tragic... as expected of you, Damn Mihuyou QAQ】

【Sigh... goodbye, Otto Apocalypse...】

【Is it finally over? The rest should be post-war cleanup, right?】

【Did you all forget... there is still an animated short film coming up~】

【The short film should be showing how Otto creates the new world line, right?】

【I hope the my lord can succeed QAQ】

【You must succeed; this is the first time I've supported Otto so much!!】

……

Amidst the waves of blessings and farewells in the barrage.

The scene shifted.

Inside a deep red space.

This was the Imaginary Space, inside Otto's mental space.

He dragged his scarred body, moving with stumbling steps.

"Life... is truly a fragile thing."

"When I was a child, my sister died on the battlefield, and they told me her soul was immortal and her spirit would ascend to heaven..."

"Heh... humans are always happy to use such lies to deceive themselves."

Xiang Aili puffed out her cheeks, pressing the keyboard to control Otto as he slowly moved forward.

And the players were listening to these inner thoughts of Otto with extreme seriousness.

Watching Otto, whose steps were trembling slightly, inexplicably made one feel a bit heartbroken.

Clearly a villain, an evil person.

But now, countless people were cheering him on.

(Li Li Zhao) "It's a pity that death is the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything..."

"Unless we can reverse time, awaken the silent island of graves; and pour the water of eternal youth back into the past that buried everything—"

"And unfold the bifurcated path there once again..."

"Heh... it's just a pity that by the time he realized this truth, Otto Apocalypse... he was already a world-famous villain..."

Otto took a deep breath, his voice low, even appearing somewhat dejected. ===== CHAPTER 435 =====
