Chapter 502

"Even, at such a time, they will deceive themselves even more intensely..."

At this moment, recalling the departure of his 【Beloved】 in the past... Otto's monologue seemed to penetrate the dust of time and strike the heart.

"I also once fantasized..."

"Fantasizing that one day, my beloved."

"She could return to the world with a new body."

"And live on in a better future..."

Outside the light screen, in the quiet carriage of the Astral Express, a profound discussion about Otto's monologue was quietly taking place.

March 7th blinked her confused eyes and looked at Welt, that confusion shrouding her heart like a fog. "Mr. Yang, I... I don't quite understand Otto's words." She confessed candidly, her tone carrying a hint of seeking help.

Welt smiled, a flash of understanding in his eyes, but also mixed with pity for March 7th's innocent ignorance. "March, those words carry Otto's five-hundred-year journey, complex and profound. However, it's okay; after experiencing more in the future, you will gradually understand."

Himeko then gently interjected, her voice as warm as a spring breeze: "Mr. Welt, perhaps you can explain it simply, so March can also keep up with our train of thought."

March 7th nodded quickly, her gaze turning to Stelle and Dan Heng, her eyes flickering with curiosity and admiration. "You two understood it, right? Can you help me understand it too?"

Stelle chuckled, her eyes flickering with the light of wisdom. "Actually, Otto's words can be summarized in one sentence. People who die cannot be resurrected; this is an iron rule. And he wants to break this iron rule!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if every word contained endless strength.

Hearing this, Welt felt a bit speechless, but understanding it this way wasn't wrong either.

Although this sentence was short, it accurately captured Otto's obsession and madness.

He looked at Stelle and nodded in agreement. "Stelle, your summary is truly incisive."

Dan Heng also nodded slightly in agreement. And Himeko smiled at March 7th, encouraging: "Look, March, actually things aren't that complicated, right?"

March 7th suddenly realized, her eyes flickering with excitement. "So that's it! Otto is truly an amazing person; he actually dared to challenge the arrangement of fate!" Her tone was filled with admiration and respect for Otto.

Welt looked at March 7th's excited lines, but instead said with some displeasure.

"That's right, Otto is indeed an amazing person.

But this does not hinder Otto's sins...

To achieve the 【Love】 in his heart... he abandoned a lot, and betrayed a lot... until he became a 【Pseudo-God】... having the ability to rewrite the tragic past.

Just as he said himself, hell is his destination!"

Returning to the video.

As the screen progressed, the distance between Otto and the Imaginary Tree continued to shorten, every step appearing exceptionally difficult... his staggering steps were like carrying a heavy burden, every step leaving deep marks, and silently telling of the pain and exhaustion he endured.

"Death is indeed the dissipation of consciousness, the end of everything..."

"We cannot accept those starlights that have already dissipated."

"Unless..."

"We can reverse time and awaken the silent island of graves."

"It's just a pity, when I understood this truth."

"Otto Apocalypse."

"He was already a world-famous villain..."

"He had already been thoroughly hated by the power he needed..."

"However, this is indeed no matter."

"She indeed proved..."

"Anger born of love will possess power equal to love."

He never denied his selfishness and obsession, because all of this was for that one goal—resurrecting Kallen.

He knew he was a villain and accepted such an ending today.

It's just that before that, there were some things... he still needed to explain.

"Theresa..."

"You are growing into a great leader..."

"In time, you will eventually make people forget your grandfather."

"Let his rights and wrongs be annihilated in history."

"Perish in talk..."

"It's just..."

"Occasionally eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon."

"You always stay up late; your body should be supplemented with more diverse nutrition."

"Do you know..."

"For tomorrow's coronation ceremony, grandfather hand-sewed the bishop's shoulder mantle..."

"If you don't mind, then use it to start your own era..."

"Wash away those stains that grandfather once left on it..."

If Otto's words earlier contained earnest expectations for Theresa's future, then from the moment he mentioned "bitter melon," he was completely immersed in endless doting on Theresa; it was an unreserved, full-blown love.

The audience in the live broadcast room could also feel the flow of this deep affection; they witnessed the image of a grandfather who might have committed countless mistakes in the past, but at this moment, was just an ordinary and great grandfather.

Otto's past, whether good or bad, seemed to be gently embraced at this moment.

And Theresa in front of the screen had tears sliding down like broken pearls; she tried hard to suppress her emotions, but only made her voice more choked. "Grandfather..." She called out softly, every word filled with endless longing and reluctance. 1.6

Bitter melon, this seemingly ordinary food, was Theresa's most precious memory. She remembered that Otto always used "you are still growing, you need balanced nutrition" as an excuse to prepare a sumptuous meal for her, but never forgot to add her favorite bitter melon to it. Those bits and pieces of memories surged into her heart like a tide, making her nose feel sour.

"Grandfather, why did you choose this path..." Theresa's murmur carried endless confusion and sorrow, her tears dripping constantly, as if she wanted to wash away the pain in her heart.

Himeko gently patted Theresa on the shoulder and comforted her gently: "Theresa, when Bishop Otto left, his heart was calm. The only thing he couldn't let go of was you. But you have to believe that even if he is gone, that love for you, that magic in the kitchen, will always accompany you."

Hearing this, Theresa's tears flowed even more uncontrollably. "But, if grandfather leaves, there will be no more 【Kitchen Magic】 in this world..."

【Kitchen Magic】 ah... this is the proof of Otto showing his affection to Theresa!

Continuing back to the video.

After finishing the instructions for Theresa.

Then it should be the turn of the second person Otto worried about and couldn't quite let go of.

"I don't need anyone to evaluate me..."

"After all, this long yet short five hundred years..."

"Is just a man..."

"Paying everything he could for his own wishful thinking..."

"Despicableness, I will take it to the grave!"

"Light, I will leave it to you to extend into the future..."

Inside the luxurious carriage of the Astral Express.

The train group sat around, their gazes focused on Otto's final monologue on the screen, every word like a heavy hammer, striking their respective hearts.

Welt, the former Herrscher of Reason, had complex emotions intertwined in his eyes.

He did not forgive Otto's past actions, but Otto's deep affection for Theresa and his final instructions also couldn't help but touch a certain string in his heart.

"Otto, you are indeed a character who is difficult to judge simply." He muttered in a low voice, his tone containing both the edge of criticism and a hint of imperceptible emotion.

March 7th, this emotionally delicate girl, was already teary-eyed at this moment.

She sobbed, her voice filled with irrepressible emotion: "Kitchen magic... how can such a warm and heart-piercing existence exist? Captain, he could have remained silent, but he chose such a gentle way to say goodbye." Her tears were like broken pearls, constantly falling.

Stelle looked at all this with a more calm and rational attitude.

"You can sympathize with him and feel sorry for his departure, but please don't forget that Otto was also a person who committed countless crimes." Her words were calm and objective, attempting to guide March 7th out of the vortex of emotions.

Himeko interpreted Otto's complexity for everyone with her unique wisdom and tolerance.

"The world is not black and white; it is filled with countless gray areas. And Otto is the person who wandered and struggled in that gray." Her words were gentle and profound, thought-provoking.

Welt added: "Otto handing Schicksal to Theresa is actually an expectation for the future, hoping that the successors can find a more sensible way to save the world than the Stigmata Project. He left the final seed of hope for this world in his own way."

Dan Heng expressed confusion about Otto's choice: "He clearly had the opportunity to become the savior of this world, so why did he choose another path full of unknowns?" His tone was filled with confusion and incomprehension.

Welt shook his head gently and explained: "For Otto, from the moment he met Kallen, his world only had Kallen. What we save is the Earth, human civilization, while what Otto saves is the world deep in his heart. From this perspective, he is undoubtedly his own hero."

Himeko sighed with emotion: "He really is a person who has interpreted selfishness and deep affection to the extreme."

March 7th burst into tears again: "But, he never hurt Theresa in any way, instead warming her with that magical kitchen magic... woo woo woo..." Her tears surged out like a tide again, and the previous hatred had completely transformed into deep emotion at this moment.

In this narrow and warm carriage, everyone was using their own way to understand and feel this complex and contradictory character, Otto.

They criticized, sympathized, or were moved, but no matter what, Otto's story had become an indelible mark in their hearts...

At the same time, Schicksal headquarters.

Otto stared at his figure approaching the Imaginary Tree on the screen, an unprecedented heat burning in his heart. This was not only the final chapter of the plan but also the ultimate curtain call of his long life of over five hundred years.
