In a pure white space.
Karen's vision was already blurred with tears.
Otto touched upon and couldn't let go of countless obsessions and memories in this space of consciousness.
Scene after scene, everything, was actually related to her!
Otto's world... is filled with the shadows she left behind!
She hadn't paid any attention to this aspect at the time.
It's simply unimaginable how much Otto loved her.
It was so heavy!
As Otto re-enters the memory fragments.
Outside a prison.
A cool and elegant female voice rang out.
"What's wrong, my dear brother? Shouldn't it be time for us to keep vigil at church for our father?"
"Then why are you here, Sister Lisa?"
"Hmm...because I hate that old geezer and don't want to put on airs there—is that a valid reason?"
“My father was poisoned, and I know who the murderer is.”
"Oh? Who is it? I'd really like to know."
Lisa asked a question she already knew the answer to.
Otto did not give a direct answer, but instead stated it bluntly.
“You need the throne of the Archbishop of Destiny, and I need to complete a deal.”
And at this time.
Only then did the audience realize it.
Who exactly is this woman standing in front of Otto...?
Lisa, who usurped the position of Bishop of Destiny!
His sister!
However, he ultimately died at the hands of the rebel army led by Otto!
And the deal between Otto and Lisa...
Could it be... about Kallen in episode 29?!
This is... precisely the day Kallen is about to be executed?!
Hearing Otto's bluntness, Lisa didn't beat around the bush either.
"Kalen Kaslana, isn't she? You really like her."
"What a pity, she's going to be hanged tomorrow, turning into a corpse that will never wake up under the swaying rope."
“We drove her to this dead end; we are all guilty.”
Otto's voice was very deep.
Lisa smiled and asked with great interest.
"Alright, I know you don't want her to die, but what are you planning to trade with me? Her death sentence was approved by our parents and that council."
“Since our father could be murdered like this, I believe you can also find a way to rescue Karen. After it’s done, we promise to go far away and never covet the bishop’s position that you value.”
Suddenly.
Hearing what Otto said.
Many viewers felt a chill run down their spines.
Otto... he's actually willing to give up his position as Bishop of Schicksal to save Kallen?
And without the slightest hesitation!
But can making a deal with such a treacherous person really help me achieve my goals?!
Although Otto did not say it explicitly, it is evident from his words and various signs.
It was Lisa who killed Otto and Lisa's father!
He was willing to kill his father for the position of bishop.
How could Lisa possibly have much affection for her weak and disappointing younger brother, Otto?
What's more, letting Kallen and Otto go, who could reveal the secret of his usurpation at any moment?
"Hmm... what you're saying does make some sense."
Lisa gave a fake smile.
“However, my dear brother—even if the former bishop is dead, the next bishop cannot hastily overturn such an important death sentence. It concerns that person's prestige within a certain circle, do you understand?”
Otto remained silent for a moment.
"...You are unwilling to help me."
"Hey, don't be so hasty, Otto Apocalypse. I didn't say I wasn't going to spare your lives, as long as you're willing to get your hands dirty."
next second.
The memory abruptly ended.
The only thing that remained was Lisa's sinister voice.
Anyone could hear the sinister and cunning in Lisa's tone.
There was definitely a huge trap set up for Otto to fall into.
But countless viewers had already guessed it.
Otto probably stepped into that trap just like that!
But... even the young Otto at that time!
It's impossible for them to make such a basic mistake!
"You know, Otto, sometimes I'm really jealous of your sister."
Void Treasury couldn't help but speak up.
"I painstakingly set up so many traps for you back then, big and small, and you never fell into them—but she only handed you a shovel, how could you dig your own grave?"
"It is said that human emotions can make people lose their rationality; but what you did is indeed a bit unbelievable."
Undoubtedly, the words of Void Treasury also startled everyone!
The void holds all things...
The First Divine Key!
An existence possessing boundless wisdom and knowledge!
In this endless time, it meticulously set countless traps for Otto, plotting to take his body!
But Otto refused to take the bait!
Instead, it has completely controlled the myriad treasures of the void.
And Otto's treacherous sister.
It was just a little trick...
Otto then bit down without hesitation...
This is inevitable
Could it be... because it involves the most important person in his life!
Karen Kaslana!
Otto's answer was as expected.
"Try to put yourself in her shoes. The void holds all things. Besides closing my eyes and believing her, what other choice did I have at that time?"
"Or, if you were willing to let me use the full power of the Divine Key at that time—in order to save her, I think you would agree to any other conditions on the spot, right?"
Otto's reasoning left even the Void Treasury speechless.
"Tsk, so it's all my fault? Is this the real reason you've bound me for over five hundred years?"
"Heh...who knows? Anyway, neither of us can take a backseat, can we?"
Otto's laughter was tinged with endless bitterness.
And the next second.
The scene that appears in the picture.
It sent a shockwave through everyone.
A cold tombstone.
Standing in the picture.
The inscription on the tombstone reads:
Karen Kaslana
[1453-1477]
After a brief silence, the chat group fell silent.
[Hu Tao: This is... Karen's tombstone?]
[Ningguang: 1453-1477... The saint only lived to be twenty-four years old.]
[Frinina: How desperate Otto must have been when he buried Kallen.]
Kiana: So young and already...
[Himeko Hoshitetsu: The departure of the saintess is regrettable... but destroying the world is going too far!]
[March 7th: So young! You haven't even properly enjoyed the good things in life yet!]
It wasn't just the crowd that was in an uproar.
Karen, in the pure white space, looked at her own tombstone.
It was a strange feeling...
Her expression was incredibly complex, but when she saw the figure standing before the tombstone, lost and dejected, as if all color had been drained from him, she realized what was happening.
Otto, whose brilliance had faded.
Karen could only feel her nose becoming increasingly sore.
And in this quiet moment.
It seems only the Void Treasury would lament this inappropriately.
"Oh, she's dead. That's certainly your end."
"Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye... Now, you finally have the chance to change this moment."
"Ah, or is it that for you, time has never actually passed?"
As the vast emptiness spoke to itself.
Otto, however, seemed not to hear at all, and muttered to himself.
"Yes...she's dead."
"Huh? Hey, are you even listening to me?"
Void Treasury said angrily
But Otto remained lost in thought.
“In many languages, people avoid mentioning death itself.”
"Death. The eternal dissipation of subjective will. The concept that renders existence itself non-existent. This is indeed an eternal terror before all wisdom—"
