The street, the dark sky, the crowd, and... the most important one, her.
428~Oh my, what a touching story! Refresh
"It's been a long time...Karen..."
Standing on a nearby building and looking at Kallen slowly walking toward the gallows below, Otto couldn't help but mutter to himself with a bitter look on his face.
Yes, hundreds of years have passed from that day to now.
But he still...didn't see Kallen again...
However, he recalled what was going to happen next countless times in his mind, even though it brought him pain and regret.
He really hated his decision at that time. If he hadn't put the Honkai beast...
No, if I don't do that, Kallen will still...
"I should say...I was too weak at that time...I couldn't do anything..."
With his head lowered and a sudden bitter smile, Otto found the reason for Kallen's death.
After all, if he was the same back then as he is now, Kallen wouldn't have died at all.
In general, he was unable to protect Kallen and died hundreds of years ago.
"But Herrscher of the Thousands... is that all you're going to show me?" Otto suddenly raised his head, and the bitterness on his face was gone, replaced by the unfathomable Bishop of Destiny. "To be honest, you might as well finish the 'movie' just now, at least I'm quite interested in it. If you want to use Kallen's death to disturb my mind, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
After saying that, Otto shifted his gaze from Kallen below to the dark corners around him. He guessed that those places might be where the figures of the Thousand Herrschers might be hidden.
Although he dreamed of reuniting with Kallen, what he wanted was the real Kallen, the real one!
So, no matter how real the Kallen below is, it is still fake, and he does not need such a Kallen.
If he was only satisfied with this fake Kallen, his long-cherished wish would have been fulfilled long ago, and he wouldn't have to wait for the Herrscher to help him realize it.
Moreover, Otto also had his own guess as to why he suddenly appeared in the scene where Kallen died - the Thousand Herrscher wanted to use this to disrupt his mind or make him believe that he could change Kallen's fate here.
But if a person's fate can really be changed...
Thinking of this, Otto stopped thinking about it.
There is no way, something like fate is really too illusory.
"Still refusing to show up..."
After waiting for a while, Otto still didn't see the Thousand Herrscher, which made him feel helpless.
If what he had just seen could still arouse his interest and even have some sense of reality in it, then it would be unnecessary for him to watch the scene of Kallen's death now.
After all, he was not someone who could be easily defeated by a scene like this, which he had recalled countless times.
Otto himself knew very well that Kallen was dead, and this was an undeniable fact.
But even so, Otto wanted to change this fact, and he had been working hard for hundreds of years.
So, Otto really couldn't understand the purpose of the Thousand Herrscher bringing him here to watch the scene of Kallen's death.
It seems... the Herrscher of the Thousand still doesn't know me well enough...
Wait!
Could it be that... this scene is related to the previous one? !
Suddenly, Otto thought of this possibility.
Contact us...
After coming up with a new guess, Otto immediately observed his surroundings, but he did not find any evidence to support his guess.
boom--
"Honkai Beast?!"
At this moment, a loud noise and the sound of a crowd brought Otto back to his senses.
Are you here...
Following the sound and looking at the Honkai beast that jumped down from a high place, Otto's expression became complicated.
After all, he was the one who released the Honkai beast, and it also killed Kallen.
Roar--
As the Honkai Beast landed, everything around it was under its attack. The crowd watching was in chaos and tried desperately to escape.
Faced with all this, Kallen on the gallows broke free from the shackles on her hands and broke the rope around her neck.
No matter what, she couldn't just sit there and watch the Honkai beast wreak havoc here.
"I don't know you well enough, Kallen." Looking at all this, Otto, with a complicated expression, muttered to himself again, "How could you let the Honkai beast wreak havoc here and escape alone? This is simply impossible for you..."
If failing to save Kallen back then was an eternal pain in Otto's heart, then the method he used back then made him extremely regretful.
He obviously likes Karin so much, but he came up with such a way to let her escape, which is basically asking Karin to become someone she hates.
Of course, Kallen did not become the person she hated. She stayed to fight the Honkai beast he released and died as a result.
"Karen..."
After seeming to hesitate for a moment, Otto suddenly ran towards Kallen.
Because he knew from the beginning that everything here was fake, Otto watched what was going to happen here with a cold eye. However, when he saw the Honkai beast raising its claws next to Kallen who was saving a child below, he subconsciously rushed over.
puff-
Is this Kallen's...blood?
As the blood floated in the air, Otto suddenly stopped behind Kallen and even subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the scattered blood.
No...it's all fake...
Nothing can change the fact...
Before his hand was halfway extended, Otto slowly retracted it.
Because he knew that all this was fake, and even if he saved Kallen here, it would not change anything.
But even so, he still rushed over.
What if I... huh? What... is going on?!
A Herrisher of Thousands?!
Suddenly, Otto found that everything around him stopped, as if something had paused time here.
What??? Kallen...
Before Otto could understand what was happening, he was very surprised to find that the sharp claw of the Honkai Beast that pierced Kallen had disappeared, and even the wound it had caused to Kallen disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
How come...that was...me???
Faced with the ensuing doubts, Otto was shocked again. He actually saw himself appear in the sky.
However, looking at the familiar outfit, Otto quickly reacted: "That is... me in the scene just now??? What on earth is..."
boom--
In response to Otto's question, the other one who fell from the sky did not answer anything, but turned into a meteor and smashed towards the Honkai beast.
"Oh my, what a touching story! I am almost moved to tears~"
Just then, a teasing voice sounded from behind Otto.
429~A sneak in... God??? Refresh
A Herrisher of Thousands?!
The moment he heard the teasing voice, Otto turned around and immediately guessed this.
After all, besides him, the only real person here is the Thousand Herrscher who has never appeared.
You can't say that there is a third party here, right?
However, for Otto, even if the Thousand Herrscher really showed up, he still had not fully recovered from the incident.
Time stopped...'myself' fell from the sky...Kallen was not killed by the Honkai Beast...
Oh, and I have become a false god and the power of the Ruler of the Sky...
Reverse...the rules...above the false god?
All of this seemed to tell Otto that he really had a way to change Kallen's fate.
After all, he had been studying the power of the Ruler of the Void, and it all started with Xilin and that god back then.
But this is really...
Huh?! Isn't that... a puppet?
After turning around, Otto saw a being not far away that looked exactly like the doll he had obtained before.
"Are you the Herrer of the Thousand?"
After a moment's silence, Otto spoke.
“Wait, wait, you still care about my identity? Shouldn’t you be moved by this performance?” The puppet seemed very surprised by Otto’s words: “Just think about it, a young boy who should have been weak gradually became strong after the death of his beloved, and even spent hundreds of years successfully resurrecting that beloved, while his own existence was completely erased. Isn’t this enough to move you? Hahahaha——”
At the end of her words, the doll suddenly laughed wildly, and even her head turned 360 degrees, which looked a bit weird.
"It's touching, but that's all for me. And you didn't even let me finish the show. It's such a waste of your time writing this script."
Otto smiled and said this lightly while looking at the puppet not far away.
He knew very well that what the puppet said was a reference to himself.
However, based on the information he had obtained so far, he had reason to believe that all this was just the work of the Thousand Herrscher.
No matter how curious he was about what was inside, he would not believe what he saw without conclusive evidence.
In fact, it couldn't possibly be true.
After all, how could anyone know what would happen in the future?
Although he couldn't say how much he knew about Honkai, he had never heard of any Herrscher having the ability to know the future.
But with this doll, Otto believed he could get something he wanted.
"The script? No, no, no, we didn't write it. We were just responsible for the performance."
Just as Otto was waiting for the answer from the puppet in front of him, another voice that was extremely similar to the previous puppet's suddenly sounded from behind him.
when…
The moment he heard the sound, Otto quickly moved to the side, but he soon saw two identical dolls.
Hmm? Two puppets?
Oh, right... the Herrscher of the Thousand...
Soon, Otto reacted.
The so-called thousand-man law-maker is a law-maker composed of a large number of different individuals.
Laughing, Otto realized that he had overreacted.
But...who came up with this script?
Otto was quite curious about this question.
After all, if it wasn’t done by the Thousand Herrscher, then who did it?
It can't be possible... that the Thousand Herrscher specifically asked others to come up with a script like this, right?
"Who did it? Hey, I'm asking you—"
At this time, a puppet that looked exactly like the previous two puppets appeared on the gallows. It was shouting loudly towards a dark corner.
Here comes another one…
No...it should be two...
Otto thought this in his heart as he looked at the direction where the sound came from and then at the dark corner.
"I heard that person also wants to revive his beloved~"
With the sound of footsteps, the puppet in the shadows slowly walked out, and then it continued: "At first, he wanted to rely on the power of the Herrscher of Death, but later he found that this was not possible. However, at the Second Herrscher, he met that... God? Hahaha——"
For some reason, when talking about that god, the puppet suddenly burst into laughter.
