To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

[A brilliant analysis: Otto's misdeeds were countless while he was alive, but his merits and demerits balanced out when he was dead.]

"Knowing right from wrong yet failing to uphold it, knowing right from wrong yet trampling on it... Is he a rational villain? Otto..."

Karen murmured, repeating his self-assessment.

Even she could feel the tremor in Otto's heart.

His radical remarks undoubtedly revealed his dissatisfaction with humanity and the world.

Does he not understand? Of course he does, and he is the one who understands the most in the past five hundred years. He has a great understanding of the philosophical theories of life and death, and his self-criticism never stops.

But Otto was not satisfied with this world; he wanted her to come alive again. She shouldn't have died; he wanted to resurrect her.

Even if the will of the world opposes it, even if all of humanity in the world does not allow it.

What does that have to do with him!

"...Sigh, what a terrible yet... pitiful person. Durandal's ideals must have completely clashed with his."

Theresa frowned as she watched the two characters facing off in the game.

It must be said that from an outsider's perspective, the other party's evaluation was not at all pretentious, and was even somewhat harsh, so harsh that it seemed to give the opponent a reason to attack.

If it weren't for Durandal, or the students he had nurtured since childhood, those present...

"Pitiful!? How could Otto be pitiful..."

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Knowledge instinctively raised her voice considerably, but after a slight pause, looking at Otto's almost suicidal expression on the screen, she slowly nodded.

At this moment, Otto gradually overlapped with the image of the confident man sitting in the bishop's seat in her memory.

She also had to admit that Otto now seemed more real.

It even has a tragic hero's flavor.

"Well, it is indeed somewhat pitiful. He didn't achieve a good ending with Kallen. Instead, he brought about his own death. He spent five hundred years chasing and waiting, and in the end, Kallen definitely wouldn't accept him..."

"No wonder you said earlier that you and Otto envied each other... one of you could do everything you could for the other, and the other of you achieved a spiritual connection with the other."

The Lawbringer scratched her cheek and, based on her judgment, tentatively gave an answer.

"Sigh... there are gains and losses?"

"It's impressive that you saw things so clearly this time, Xiao Shi."

Fu Hua said calmly. She wasn't surprised, since the only one who could have more contact with both of them at the same time was the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"Speaking of which, did Kallen really not achieve a spiritual connection with Otto?"

"I know the law of knowledge," the Herrscher asked in confusion, his eyes constantly glancing toward Kallen, wanting to know the most direct answer. Was there anyone more reliable than himself?

What if Otto's self-righteous fool and clown turn out to be not the case?

Uh… although Otto’s self-proclaimed Fool certainly didn’t mean that. But she was still curious.

"It's a pity... we broke up in the end, but until the moment before I died, I knew clearly that he was the only one who supported me in spirit."

Karen said calmly, but her hands trembled slightly.

Clearly, she was also somewhat shocked by Otto's candid and undisguised villainous lines.

"Oh? I see~ I do remember there was someone called Yae Sakura, do you know her?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shi's eyes lit up, and she dug out a person from her memory. After all, the game where the Far Eastern fox demon was the boss was quite interesting, and she had played it a few times after falling out with the old antique.

Well, well, her account was inexplicably banned. I guess it's because she was too good and the system assumed she was cheating.

"cherry?"

Karen frowned and looked at the other person.

Come to think of it, the other person had never appeared in the game, so she didn't ask.

But the other party mentioned that this matter still exists.

"Hmm, Yae Sakura, that should be her name. Otto really dislikes her and even made her a villain in the game."

"But looking at it from another angle... his utter detestability must be related to you?"

The Lawbringer chuckled and said this.

As for Otto's thoughts, she gradually came to an estimate: for him, there were only things related to Karen and trivial matters.

The person who was rewritten as a fox spirit in the Far East is quite different from the shrine maiden recorded here in a straightforward manner.

"...After obtaining the black box, I went to Shenzhou to search for the immortals but to no avail. Later, I went to the Far East and met her there."

Karen's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned around to get straight to the point.

"Then why does Otto hate her so much?" the Herrscher of Knowledge asked curiously.

Of course, she has never thought about the matter of women being together, since that would be somewhat contrary to common sense.

"Perhaps it's because I broke ties with Otto back then, and Sakura became my silent supporter?"

"But I've always known that Sakura's support for me doesn't necessarily mean she understands my thoughts; it's just because she trusts me..."

Karen said helplessly that she thought Otto was just being stubborn with her, but she still felt something was off.
