"Wow... You are so amazing, you will definitely become a great inventor in the future! It's a pity that it's broken..."
"If you need anything..."
As a child, Otto promised to make one for Kallen.
And Kallen became Otto's only person who understood and was his friend at this time.
He felt abandoned by everyone, and this was the first time he heard such positive encouragement.
It’s not that the boy doesn’t understand his family’s concerns about him...but they certainly don’t care about his inner needs and desires.
This was the first time he knew that someone had such expectations of him.
It turns out that someone really needs someone like me.
"Well... Great Inventor, I have a request, are you willing to agree to it?"
"Eh? A request...?"
"Well! When we grow up...you can come and save the world with me!"
"——Before that, you have to make yourself healthy, okay?"
The memories stopped here...
For Otto, who had truly experienced such a past, this was an important memory that would last him a lifetime.
"The great inventor... So he had such a past? Hmm... Now it seems easy to understand why this man has been able to persist for so long..."
As Otto’s past was revealed, a pink barrage of comments floated across the live broadcast room.
At this moment, Alicia’s speech can be said to represent the views of the vast majority of people in the live broadcast room.
After all, before this, no one knew why Archbishop Otto was determined to resurrect Kallen.
Now this piece of memory content played in advance can be said to have answered this question.
As for why this memory was played in advance, it was mainly because the timeline needed to remain consistent.
At this moment, everyone is busy with their own attacks.
Archbishop Otto, on the other hand, quietly observed the overall situation and waited for his opportunity...
However, for Xukong Wanzang, who was held, restrained and influenced by him...this was really an interesting thing.
[It's rare that you're reminiscing about your childhood. Are you unwilling to accept your fate of death?]
[Haha. You really know how to joke, Void Manzang. Didn’t I just tell Theresa and the others about this?]
In the cloud of consciousness that had appeared before, Otto responded to Xukong Wanzang's ridicule with a smile.
【I "willingly die", and "die voluntarily". This is just a Helu carnival that is five hundred years late. 】
[...In my opinion, you are just using this method to cover up your nervousness and fear.]
Xukong Wanzang mocked the person in front of him without leaving any trace.
At this moment, he was more like a partner who had long been unhappy with Otto than a divine key.
Of course, the relationship between the two...is indeed true in a sense.
[Maybe. I do get nervous and scared - after all, my life is long enough; being able to reach the finish line is naturally exciting.]
[…Didn’t you expect more?]
Admittedly, Otto is indeed a tricky and troublesome "master" for Hollow Manzang, but his built-in command code is to help humans defeat Honkai.
The user in front of him is indeed the one who has the deepest understanding of Honkai among humans at this stage.
As for the candidate from the previous civilization...the plan that guy is going to implement is related to me, and I can't help him at all.
What's even more troublesome is what would happen if that guy's plan succeeded.
The collapse was caused by a bug, and humanity was also destroyed by the bug.
Then what should I do?
So, from this point of view, Xukong Wanzang still hopes that Otto can survive.
It's just a pity for a fool who is determined to die.
The value and meaning of life have actually been determined long ago.
【Why not? If it's just "expectation". 】
[But you also have to understand that the truly impossible things are destined to be impossible from the beginning.]
After saying this, Otto began to slowly move forward in the clouds deep in his memory...
[If you are interested in this... then why not accompany me on a journey into the depths of memory, old friend.]
[It should be in time before others come into inevitable conflict with us.]
Then, Otto began to recall his life.
To be more precise, it is the memory of Kallen's life when she was still alive...
First, it was the time before he went to war with her, which was a decision he made on his own.
It was also a rare moment of willfulness on his part at that time.
The final outcome was harmonious, but Kallen was still worried.
[——If you let me judge the situation at that time...she was seeking deep spiritual help from you, but you answered the wrong question.]
After reading the memories, Xukong Wanzang commented like this.
"Hmm~ I didn't expect that this man also had such a youthful period? Well, looking at it this way, he is completely different from the man before."
A pink bullet screen floated across the live broadcast room...
To be honest, Otto's embarrassment and immaturity in the memories far exceeded Alicia's expectations.
What she didn't expect was the archbishop who could call the wind and rain and stir up the world.
I was once such a simple boy.
"It's really hard to imagine. He has always given people such a mysterious feeling. But in my memory... no, in the past. He looks like an ordinary person..."
"Looking at it this way, it really looks more and more like someone. There is a proverb that says it well - time is a ruthless pair of scissors that cuts people into different shapes."
The barrage of comments floated across the screen...
Even though everyone had more or less opinions about Otto.
But I still can't help but sigh at his change.
Perhaps it is because, under the ultimate proposition of collapse, people will inevitably undergo involuntary changes...
[Indeed. As expected of the Key of Revelation, the answer is quite accurate.]
Otto agreed with Xukong Wanzang's point of view quite frankly.
[Treat the other person as a superman, or even a perfect person... This factor can be quite fatal emotionally. ]
[You see, I am indeed not a qualified childhood sweetheart, right?]
Faced with his self-mockery, Xukong Wanzang was a little surprised.
[I didn't expect you to be willing to evaluate yourself so objectively. ]
[——If I can’t do this, how can I be sure that I can provide a second life for another person, someone who is different from me?]
After reading this memory, Otto continued to take steps.
Time is running out, and there is still a lot to see next...
【Let's continue reading...there should be many opportunities for us to criticize.】
[After all, in front of her, I am often just a fool in name only. ]
The next part of the memory is about the story after the failure of the Eastern Expedition.
At that time, they had just crossed a river, and he was extremely cold at night.
Karen threw her coat on her despite the cold weather.
After successfully returning to the Tianming headquarters, they talked about a more critical issue.
That is how to deal with the possible crisis after the failure of the Eastern Expedition...
At that time, they were still young and full of hope, and encouraged each other to work hard to overcome the difficulties.
[——I really don't understand why you were so awkward at that time. Wouldn't it be better if you just told her all your thoughts? The whole history might be changed because of this.]
"Yeah~ That's right, sometimes people just need to be frank. In this way, maybe you will gain different feelings~"
A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...
It's clear that Alicia is very interested in Otto and Kallen's past.
After all, this is a healthy and positive past.
When Kallen was still around, Otto at least behaved like a human being, right?
Of course if it weren't for what happened later...
[Maybe. But what exactly do you want me to say to her at that time?]
[Say I am researching new drugs through human experiments?]
[Or do you want me to quote a political economics theory from hundreds of years ago to enlighten her that "robbing the rich to help the poor does not solve the fundamental problem"?]
During these five hundred years, Otto acquired knowledge and experience.
Enough to inspire him to solve the problems of the time...
But unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
And he is no longer the same person he used to be...
[If it weren't for these...even if I told her the reason why I did all that, what would it be of any use?]
[Will she change herself because of this, or will I change myself because of this? ]
In response to Otto's rebuttal, Xukong Wanzang's answer was as sharp as ever.
[.......But in fact, neither of you has changed the other. ]
[Of course. Because at that time I wishfully thought that I would have more ways to secretly protect her.]
In response to these words, Xukong Wanzang could only respond with ridicule.
[Heh. She is the most powerful Valkyrie of destiny, and you actually wanted to protect her with your own strength at that time? ]
[After all, at that time, I thought that she and I had complementary abilities, and I always wanted to secretly make up for her shortcomings in my own way. ]
Otto continued to explain the situation, but Xu Kong Wan Zang was still as sharp as ever.
[Strange. How can you think so highly of yourself when you have been weak and sick since childhood? ]
[History has proven that you could not do anything at that time. ]
[You even accelerated her break from her original living environment - and the price, in the end, was her own life.]
Faced with such sharp and direct words, even Archbishop Otto felt helpless at this moment.
[…Yes. That day she finally discovered the true dark side of destiny. The trajectory of our lives has since gone out of control.]
After saying this, Otto stepped towards the memory that had caused him pain throughout his life.
[The following story turned into a tragedy cloaked in absurdity.]
【I ended up making the stupidest decision of my life.】
As Otto arrived at the memory point, what was presented in the live broadcast room was the conversation between him and his sister.
Of course, rather than calling her a sister, it would be more accurate to say that she is a vicious enemy.
At that time, Otto was desperate and hoped to get help from this close relative.
Even if I have to give up my inheritance rights, it doesn't matter.
However, he was too naive at that time and had no ability to fight back against this vicious woman who wielded power.
The end result was that Otto had to save Kallen in his own way.
However, this indirectly caused Kallen's death...
