"Secondly, the equipment and energy to support the above operations, specifically the Second Divine Key, Thousand Realms One Rise, and sufficient Honkai energy;"
"Third, the suitable spatiotemporal coordinates for grafting, that is, the stable region that can be locked using the beacon of the Thousand Realms One Vehicle."
"What exactly are the methods to reach the Imaginary Tree and the ways to obtain sufficient Honkai energy?"
"They all come from the will of the broken, Durandal."
"--What?!"
Durandal was taken aback, clearly unfamiliar with the name.
Otto patiently explained.
"That's right, the Will of Honkai. The source of the current Herrschers, the starting point of the current Honkai. It is revered as a god and has existed for five hundred years in the history of Schicksal."
"But the so-called gods are not unattainable. As long as we walk the same path and look toward the same destination... humans can also make contact with gods, and even reach an agreement!"
"Frankly, I don't like the World Serpent's Stigmata Project. But now, Schicksal has missed its best opportunity to stop it."
"Going back to the starting point is also creating opportunities for ourselves and reshaping the world situation."
"And He... also enjoys watching such a time-bending drama. The Honkai Will lowered the gates of the Imaginary Tree for me; and I will become His agent in the human world in this matter."
"From the perspective of power, that's one way to put it. However, coming into contact with the Imaginary Tree will definitely make me a different kind of being from the Herrschers, or even surpass them. Although it requires me to sacrifice my physical body, its power is enough for me to reshape the world."
Suddenly.
Otto's words sent a chill down the spines of all the listeners, including Durandal!
Everything he has said so far...
The first part is no different from what Changguang revealed!
But the second half... becomes increasingly terrifying!
Otto... has become the agent on Earth for the Honkai will that wants to destroy humanity!
Otto... in order to reset time back five hundred years, he is willing to sacrifice all of humanity and five hundred years of history!
Has Otto now... completely turned into a selfish madman?!
He actually made a deal with the Honkai Will!
This is a demon that humanity has fought against for tens of thousands of years!
[Klee: Otto's a big bad guy! He's with the Honkai!!]
[Silver Wolf: Relying on the power of Honkai?!]
[Hu Tao: Is this... a betrayal of humanity?]
[Su Chang: This, this is just too much!]
Kiana: Seriously, we have to stop Otto!
Theresa: How could Grandpa... make a pact with the Honkai?! That's the will of the Honkai!
[Honkai Impact 3rd Himeko: Damn it... Are we really going to sacrifice everyone so easily?!]
[Black Tower: From a cost-benefit perspective, Otto's plan isn't without its merits.]
[The Black Tower: At least in terms of buying humanity five hundred more years and increasing their chances of victory, this plan has been successful.]
[March 7th: But...but that's no reason to destroy the world!]
[Himeko Hoshino: Indeed, and this is only Otto's side of the story; it may not be true.]
He seemed to understand the expression on Durandal's face.
Otto continued
"I hope to buy everyone extra time to deal with the Herrscher of the End and the Stigmata Project, and the Honkai Will is content with being reset."
"Everyone's happy, isn't that right?"
And at this time.
Looking at the righteous Otto, who was still trying to convince himself.
Durandal finally spoke
"But what about the world itself? Every word you just said seems to correspond to a world-destroying power!"
“You’re right, but as the saying goes, you can’t build something new without destroying the old one. How can we welcome a new world if we don’t destroy the old one?”
“What I want to hear is not this kind of abstract promise and reasoning. From the beginning until now, you have consistently avoided talking about the real cost of your plan.”
Durandal's gaze was somewhat cold.
My expectations for Otto were dwindling.
She had already figured it out... and she had already noticed it...
There is only one reason why Otto avoids the topic.
That is the price of this plan, which will be terrifying! Just like the consequences it can cause, enough to destroy the world!
But Durandal still clung to a last glimmer of hope and asked in a deep voice...
"To achieve the goals listed above—what exactly are you planning to pay for?"
"Now."
A brief two-word answer.
Otto's expression became somewhat indifferent.
The previous warmth was gone.
“I told Theresa before that I would erase these five hundred years of history from the branches of time and let the world return to the state when Kallen Kaslana was still alive.”
"The price I paid was time flowing on the tree of imaginary numbers, or rather, the present moment itself."
"That might be too abstract, so I'm going to answer your question from a different angle."
"Human civilization activities themselves can lead to collapse, and every member of the Destiny Organization should be aware of this."
"But what if we look at this issue from the perspective of the will to break?"
"For Him, the Heralds probably represent ultimate freedom, while our civilization is the shackle that imprisons and corrupts it."
Otto's words were increasingly alarming.
No one has ever looked at the problem from this perspective before.
Does Honkai... also have its own stance on Honkai?!
"Yes, from this perspective, it is not that Honkai is born from civilization, but rather that civilization is a special solidified form of Honkai."
"Therefore, what I will pay is the collapse inherent in contemporary civilization as a whole. I will mobilize all the potential energy hidden between reality and imagination—in the past, it was an important source of power for the Herrschers; now, we can also use this power to reorient the world."
"If you do that, what will become of the world right now, right now?"
"Outside of this town, they will vanish without a trace. And this town will become the sole epitaph of our annihilating era—in place of those sacrifices that are far more unbearable for humanity."
Otto met Durandal's gaze directly.
Finally, he revealed the price that chilled and terrified everyone.
Disappear! Disappear without a trace!
And yet, at this moment... at a time when such a terrifying price must be revealed, Otto's tone was so calm!
Even Durandal, the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, couldn't help but confirm in a trembling voice.
"You mean...outside Klosten...."
"Outside of Klosten, everything that has been born and destroyed in the past five hundred years will be completely wiped out in the rivers of the world."
"This is the price of starting over. It's also the price of the plan I'm about to implement, the one with the highest success rate."
Otto gave it his all.
Yet it was chillingly calm!
Durandal gritted her teeth and said
"You dislike the Stigmata Project, yet you intend for the entire world to pay a price far heavier than the Stigmata Project itself?! You are practically murdering everyone in the world, Bishop!"
"Yes, that's right. But humans... will still be human because of that."
Otto nodded.
And this moment.
With Otto's recognition.
He has completely stood on the opposite side of Durandal!
Or rather, it's not just Durandal!
It is the antithesis of all humanity in the world today!
Whether it's anti-entropy, the World Serpent, or the destiny controlled by Otto!
They will stop him at all costs!
Otto is no longer the Bishop of Destiny who protects humanity!
At this moment! Otto is now the enemy of all mankind!!
Kiana: That jerk....
[Raiden Mei: Otto... he's really crossed the line! This is tantamount to betraying all of humanity!]
[Honkai Himeko: To cooperate with the so-called Honkai is just too crazy!]
[Black Tower: But in a sense, Otto's idea wasn't wrong either.]
[Ningguang: But in this way, the price humanity has to pay is no less than that of the Stigmata Project...]
Theresa: How could you do this... Grandpa...
Rita: Lord Otto, have you forgotten the original purpose of Destiny...?
[Tesla: Stop wasting your breath on him!! Durandal!! Beat him up!!]
[Otto: Haha, Dr. Tesla, it's been so many years, shouldn't you tone down your temper a bit?]
Tesla: You damn bastard!! You actually collaborated with the Honkai!
[Einstein: What I didn't expect... was that the Will of Honkai would agree as well...]
[Fireworks: Hehehe~ Maybe that's why it's so interesting?]
[Fireworks: Is it His pleasure (Li's) to rewind the entire human civilization five hundred years and see if these ants can defeat Him?]
In the chat group.
Countless messages sprang to life because of Otto's madness.
Almost all superhumans were terrified by Otto's insane actions!
Sacrifice everything that humanity, history, and civilization have ever existed!
Let's turn back time to five hundred years ago!
It is indeed of great help in fighting against Honkai.
But everyone knows this.
Even if this doesn't buy humanity any benefit or time, Otto would probably do it without hesitation!
Helping humanity was merely a side effect of Otto's actions from the very beginning!
His only consideration from beginning to end was to revive Kallen!
For every human being in the world today!
This is a murder!!
not to mention.
This horrific act of murdering people all over the world... was orchestrated by Otto!
Otto Apokalis!
Take control of destiny! Fight against the Honkai! The Archbishop of Destiny, who has protected humanity for over five hundred years!!
