Collapse City, the beginning of the production of the anime version of Collapse 3

"The second time, I realized that some things are not just about right and wrong."

"The third time was when I realized that some things are neither right nor wrong, but I still firmly did what I believed in and took responsibility for it."

After hearing Father Otto's final words, the audience watching the movie fell silent. At this moment, they could not curse Otto, even though they knew that Otto, who caused all the tragedies, was not the same person as Father Otto.

"Eden, I don't hate Otto like this." Ellie leaned on Eden's shoulder.

"Ellie, me too." Eden looked at Ellie tenderly and dotingly, combed her pink bangs, and said, "Different from the main storyline, although Father Otto didn't talk about love and affection, his actions were full of love."

"He made a mistake, used his life to make up for it, and lived in repentance." Sakura said: "The saint he mentioned is Kallen, right?"

As Karen's best friend and having met Otto many times, she knew very well that no one except Karen could change Otto.

"Karen..." Otto stared at Father Otto on the screen in a daze. The only thing in his mind was the story that Yaqing and he had told him about five hundred years ago.

At that moment, he seemed to put himself in the shoes of Bishop Otto.

"The node appeared... It was because of my cowardice that I didn't dare to take that step and leave with Kallen, which led to the changes in the development of the world. That was not the answer of the saint, but a warning left to me and Otto Apokalis..."

Otto muttered.

"If I hadn't retreated like a coward, would the world have changed? Would Kallen's death have not happened? Then Otto would have lived with Kallen..."

Otto's mind was stuck in a dead end.

"Otto, Otto!"

When Otto heard the familiar voice, an image of a little girl lying on the wall and smiling at him appeared in front of his eyes. When he came to his senses and looked carefully, he only saw Karen's worried expression.

"Otto, what's wrong with you? You didn't respond when I called you, and you just kept talking to yourself. Are you angry..."

Before Kallen could finish her words, Otto hugged her tightly.

Karen did not struggle to break free, but patted Otto's back gently, as tenderly as a mother, and said softly: "What's wrong? You are acting like a child all of a sudden. If I tell little Theresa, she will laugh at you for being shy."

"Karen, hold me for a while longer."

"Well, you can hold me for as long as you want."

a long time.

Otto's dull voice came: "Karen, I can't imagine a world without you. I don't have the ability and wisdom of the Bishop of Heaven's Fate. I can't achieve the same achievements as him. My only fate is madness and death."

"Don't belittle yourself. You are the smartest." Kallen gently comforted Otto.

[Father Otto's tone was calm yet trembling. After burying the saint in a foreign country, he came here to set up an orphanage.

It is precisely because of his experience that he understands Joachim and respects his choice.

Theresa could no longer hold back her tears.

When Father Otto finished his last words, Bronya suddenly called out Joachim's name. Joachim, who was outside the door, opened the door and held the cross in his hand. It was the cross that the priest had dropped in the snow.

"Father, you lost this cross last night, so I found it."

Joachim held the cross tightly. Even though he was still confused, he was willing to inherit the orphanage and the responsibility of a priest.

“So, please continue to be my family and don’t let me go down the wrong path…!” Joachim fell to the bed, tears streaming down his face. Theresa hugged him gently from behind.

Father Otto listened to Joachim's words. He believed in Joachim, and before he died, he clenched the pendant in his hand.

“I have fought the good fight…I have finished the race…”

"I have kept the faith you believe in..."

A teardrop fell onto the wooden floor, and then turned into white light, drowning the entire world. 】

"I never thought that one day I would cry because of Otto." Kiana wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Grandpa..." Theresa couldn't imagine life after losing Otto.

"It would be great if Bishop Otto in the main storyline was Father Otto." Mei sighed.

"Wait, what Mei said makes sense. If Otto in this world is just the director of an orphanage, then who is leading the people to fight against the Honkai?" Himeko raised a fatal question.

"But there is still a squad leader!"

The squad leader Fu Hua, as they called her, was sitting awkwardly next to Alicia, listening to the crying sounds next to her. It seemed a bit unreasonable for her not to cry, but the only thing in her mind was the shooting herself in the main storyline.

The tissues Eden brought were not enough to satisfy Ai Lixia Huo Huo.

Somewhat embarrassing.

Mebius took out a tissue from his bag and threw it at Eden.

Eden glanced at Mebius gratefully.

Mebius turned his head away proudly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ying looked at the crying Padu in surprise, very confused. This shouldn't be the case. In her impression, Padu was not that sentimental. She asked, "Padu, why are you crying?"

"Sister Ying, my finger is stuck..."

Sakura looked carefully and saw that Padua's slender fingers were stuck in the gap of the seat armrest.

"???"

[The snow was still falling. In front of the tombstone of the stone-carved city, Theresa held a bouquet of white flowers, and Joachim knelt in front of the tombstone, praying for him sincerely.

The name of the deceased was engraved on the tombstone: OTTO, and there was also a line of German that could be translated as "His heart is far away." Joachim gently recited the words from the Bible.

"We know where you are going. We also know your way."

Theresa made a vow to the priest's tombstone that the orphanage named Freya would remain open. This was her and Joachim's choice, and also the path they would take.

"God will protect you, our father."

"God will protect you, our hero."】

"Freya Orphanage?" Kiana was very surprised. No wonder it was a parallel world. It was only one word less than the Valkyrie Academy founded by Theresa. It was basically the same as the real university.

"I suddenly realized that the school principal and Joachim are also good at being fans." As a fan of being fans, Bronya would be a fan of everyone she met.

"???" Theresa looked strange and said unhappily, "Bronya, are you awake?"

"Aunt and Teacher Yang? That's impossible no matter how you think about it."

"I'm talking about the principal in this parallel world. If she and Joachim had run the orphanage together, they might have fallen in love with each other over time. Moreover, before the priest died, she gently hugged Joachim." Bronya presented evidence one by one.

"That seems to be the case." Kiana scratched her head.

"Don't even think about it! It's impossible no matter how hard you try!"

Chapter 3: Kiana: Three hours haven't ended yet?! (K)

Otto had calmed down with Kallen's comfort, but when he saw Theresa hugging Joachim, the string of reason broke again.

"Damn it! My little Theresa has never hugged me so gently!" Otto gritted his teeth in anger and was filled with jealousy.

Seeing Otto like this, Kallen just smiled helplessly.

Otto suddenly remembered that Amber had sent him information saying that Walter Young, the vice president of Anti-Entropy, had joined St. Freya's College under the name of Joachim. He had not paid much attention to it at first, but now he had no time to think about it.

He didn't even have time to watch the movie. He put on his coat and ran outside. He contacted Amber on the phone to find the information. Otto thought that this plot was a hint given to him by Yaqing.

Yaqing sneezed at the Tianming Cinema.

"It must be Kevin who is scolding me." Yaqing suspected Kevin with the greatest malice. He glanced at Amber who stood up and was a little confused. How could someone stand up when the movie was just halfway through? The plot was not bad.

"Sister Amber, what's wrong?" Yaqing asked.

In the dim environment, through the light of the screen, Yaqing could see the veins bulging on Amber's white forehead. She left without saying a word.

Yaqing was confused.

"Maybe something unexpected happened at work," Cecilia explained.

Yaqing couldn't chase out to ask, so he had to shift his attention back to the screen.

[Bronya returned to the platform, but did not see Seele. Only the notebook in her arms gave her some comfort.

Joachim reappears and tells her that the maze is disintegrating, and because of Bronya's abilities, he chooses to tell her what happened.

Walter Young encountered a powerful enemy. In order to seal the enemy in the quantum sea, he chose to use his own body to dissipate and transform into this huge maze. The maze will also test everyone who steps into it.

"Walter... used his life to stop the snake from invading reality."】

"As expected."

The audience watching the movie were no longer surprised by the disappearance of Walter Young's body, or rather, they would have been surprised if Walter Young had not died.

Besides, if it’s just the physical body that disappeared, it’s not like it hasn’t happened before. In the first movie, Walter Young’s physical body disappeared after being beaten by Xilin, but he’s still alive today.

【“Come, I will open the last path for you.”

Joachim opened the way to the third world for Bronya, which was also the last test. After passing this last test, she could walk out of the maze and go to the location of the core of reason.

Joachim told her that with the help of the Herrscher Core, she could enter the Quantum Sea, but if she was in contact with the core for too long, her body would be torn apart. In the end, he asked Bronya to remember that no matter what happened, she must not let the "Snake" leave.

"Bronya promises you that the World Snake is also Bronya's enemy. Bronya will never betray Walter's trust."

"Good luck, Bronya."]

"So this place isn't the Quantum Sea!" Kiana glanced at her phone and then noticed the time. She was surprised and said, "It's already been three hours?!"

"Did time pass so quickly?" Ji Zi thought it was only about an hour.

"It's been three hours. Bronya is almost done with her three tests. After inheriting the Herrscher Core, she can leave with Seele." Theresa thought the movie would be over in half an hour.

But is the truth really as she thought?

[Familiar darkness. This time, Bronya was awakened by Seele. She was still in the snowfield, but it was completely different from the previous world. She looked at Kiana as if she had seen a ghost.

Bronya didn't react for a while when Kiana teased her, until she heard Mei remind her that the enemy they were facing now was the Herrscher of the Void.

Bronya was even more confused after hearing this.

The Ruler of the Void?

Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void, is right next to her, which means that the current timeline is when the second Honkai Impact 3rd occurred against Sirin, but the time doesn't match. How old were Kiana and Mei at that time?

Just as Bronya was thinking, Mei suddenly became alert.

"Everyone, prepare to fight."

A large number of Honkai beasts were approaching, but before they could react, all of them were destroyed in an instant. Dozens of mechas fell from the sky, and among them, the brown-haired man floating in the air slowly fell down.

"Did you survive, Valkyrie?"]

"Sure enough, the trailer is a lie." Einstein reacted and remembered the content of the trailer.

"That is to say, of the three tests I left behind..." Walter Yang looked at his rebellious self on the screen in surprise, "The first test is a tortured child, the second test is a rebellious child, and the third test is a villain?"

Walter Yang wanted to complain. How could this be a test for Bronya? This was clearly a test for himself.

Einstein had a different view on this.

"The first test represents the pain of childhood, the second test represents the confusion of growing up, and the third test represents the wrong path." Einstein summarized Walter Young's test in a light-hearted manner.

[Walter Yang was willing to cooperate with Bronya and the others. He looked at them coldly and went straight into the depths of the snowfield. This was the first time Bronya saw Walter as the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance. He was completely different from what she remembered.

In this world, Kiana's impression of the First Herrscher is still that he was destroyed by Bishop Otto himself decades ago. Mei doesn't know much about the situation either. She only knows that the other party established Anti-Entropy and claimed to fight for humanity.

"You can't trust a Herrscher who fights for humanity." Kiana said unhappily. 】

"The boomerang will hit me sooner or later." Bronya glanced at Kiana, who was clearly the Herrscher in the main storyline.

"Hey, why are you looking at me? This is what I said in the parallel world, not what I said in the main story." Kiana scratched her head.

Seeing Kiana's silly look, Bronya sighed. She had a queen-like face, but she acted so silly.

The 20-year-old Kiana had smooth white hair tied in a high ponytail. The short-sleeved top was deformed by the weight of the big thunder. Her white and slender legs under her denim hot pants seemed to glow in the dim environment.

"It's Uncle Yang!" Rosalia was very excited to see a familiar person on the screen again. She was so excited that she hugged Lilia.

"I always feel that Walter in this parallel world has a villainous aura coming towards me."

"Kevin, you're right. I'm afraid that the Walter in the promotional video who claimed to have killed Valkyrie and Otto and destroyed Destiny is this guy." Mei nodded in thought.
