This gave everyone watching the scene a real shock!
I was deeply moved!
Everyone in the group is an extraordinary being.
Even if it's just a fleeting change!
They could also clearly sense it from Otto's movements and expressions!
But
Under the scrutiny of over a hundred pairs of eyes!
on the screen.
Faced with a terrifying, godlike being who utterly crushed the Destiny army and Kallen!
Even the slightest pause or hesitation! Even the smallest hint of cowardice or fear, as subtle as a grain of sand!
None of these have ever appeared on this man!
Otto appeared before Kallen with such naturalness and authenticity!
He used his arms, which had never possessed great strength, to protect the girl he wanted to protect!
Karen Kaslana!
[Navilette: He... seems to have no fear?]
[Lei Movie: Facing such a formidable enemy, they remained remarkably calm.]
[Qin: He made the decision without even... a moment's thought! Even if the price might be his life!]
[Funinga: QAQ Why do I feel like crying?]
[March 7th: Hmph, Otto must be acting! (Okay, I admit... I was a little touched...)]
Candice: Is Karen... really that important to him...?
[Robin: I think I've got... an idea for a love song.]

Chapter 48 Death Penalty! An Unparalleled Achievement! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!!]
And looking at Otto.
Even the powerful Fu Hua at that time was moved by Otto's performance.
He gave Otto a deep look, but did not make a move as everyone had feared.
Instead, he spoke to the two of them meaningfully.
"User of the key, think carefully, what is it that you truly wish to protect?"
Immediately.
The powerful immortal turned and left the battlefield.
But even though Fu Hua did not continue to make moves.
The Heavenly Mandate army present was already terrified by this terrifying being from China!
Finally, this decisive battle in the Eastern Expedition ended in the defeat of Destiny.
After suffering a defeat, Destiny withdrew its troops back to Europe. On the way back, Karen still discussed with Otto whether Destiny's actions this time were correct.
However, as pawns manipulated by fate, they had no solution at that time and could only leave everything to the bigwigs at the top to handle.
Upon returning to Europe, in an attempt to compensate for the losses incurred during the war, Destiny issued indulgences, a policy devoid of human rights, to oppress the common people.
This point, in particular, aroused Karen's extreme dissatisfaction!
This also deepened Karen's doubts about destiny!
Thus, Karen transformed into the Purple Iris Phantom Thief, robbing the rich to help the poor!
And Otto...
He understood very early on that from the moment he officially became part of the Destiny leadership, he knew very well that Destiny's practices had long since deviated from the original intentions upon which Destiny was founded.
But in order to make Kallen smile, to conceal the dark truth of Destiny, and to protect Kallen from danger.
Otto always stayed by Karen's side, supporting her transformation into a phantom thief who robbed the rich to help the poor, while also using his powers to protect Karen.
only....
The deception will eventually be exposed!
Karen quickly discovered the truth! She discovered that Schicksal was secretly conducting inhumane experiments in the city! And the mastermind behind these human experiments... was Otto!
Unlike Karen's idealism.
Otto had long seen through reality. This world was not a good place, and to survive in it, he had to collude with the corrupt powerful figures to protect his beloved from being targeted by the world.
He firmly believed in his own path!
He must unravel the secrets of the Honkai! Only then will he be able to protect Kallen!
But Karen didn't understand any of this! She stormed into the church with the oath of Judah, stopping Destiny from continuing its experiment with Pandora's Box.
After a fierce battle, Kallen stole the magic box and left Schicksal without looking back!
They left the place where Otto and they grew up and lived together!
But the good times didn't last long.
In just one year.
Karen was then taken back to headquarters by Schicksal, where she faced an unjust trial from which she could not possibly win!
The nobles and the castle council exploited Karen's betrayal to their advantage in order to bring down the three great families of destiny!
The current head of the Kaslana family is not capable of protecting Kaslana, the strongest Valkyrie destined for power.
Ultimately, the parliamentary session ended with Karen's execution!
Karen is imprisoned in Schicksal's prison for the second time!
And Otto.
Desperate to save Karen, he searched frantically for everyone he could reach. In the end, he still ended up before his father.
[Ningguang: The extreme corruption of Schicksal...has it completely changed Otto's father into a different person?!]
Jingyuan: Such a destiny has no reason to exist.
[Furina: Otto and Kallen's ideologies...have finally diverged...]
[Ruan Mei: Karen's ideas are still too idealistic.]
[Black Tower: Indeed, Otto has seen the darkness of reality, and being indifferent to humanity to begin with, he cares about no one but Kallen.]
[Lei Movie: All I can say is that, under the threat of collapse, the sacrifice of a small number of people is worthwhile in exchange for the future of many.]
Under the dim sunlight, the stained glass windows of St. Peter's Basilica appear even more hazy.
Nicholas Apocalypse's expression was inscrutable.
But Otto's eyes were unwavering.
He would save Karen no matter the cost!
"Destroying the Kaslana family is only the first step; the nobles will make a big fuss about this case!"
"Their goal is to destroy the system in which the three major families share power and force us to relinquish power to the parliament! This is absolutely unacceptable!"
The old man spoke slowly and in a low voice.
His gaze fell meaningfully on the young third son.
"Karen Kaslana."
"Must die."
[I heard the news instantly.]
Even though I was mentally prepared.
Otto Apocalypse seemed to have been struck a heavy blow! His body swayed slightly. For a moment, he felt dizzy!
[This is also because he had exhausted every conceivable means and begged every conceivable person!]
[Finally, she reluctantly approached her biological father and pleaded for mercy, only to be refused!]
Karen must die.
These words became like heavy weights, constantly pressing down on Otto's heart, trying to push it lower and lower.
He was so engrossed in those six words that he didn't even notice what his father was saying.
"I'm old."
"Nicholas Apocalypse, the most powerful man in all of Europe, said slowly."
"As people get older, they become senile and make big mistakes without realizing it."
"The disastrous defeat of the expedition should have served as a wake-up call for me, but I hesitated and instead of taking the initiative, I gave them a handle to use against me."
"The responsibility for this fierce impeachment against the three major families lies with me."
"After Kaslana's execution, I will retire, which will please the Castle Council, but will also catch them off guard."
"But the problem is, who can replace the position of Bishop of Destiny?"
"The most ideal successor is dead."
“My Nando, if he were still alive, the failure of the Eastern Expedition would not have affected this much.”
“Fabian? My second son, all bark and no bite.”
"And you, Otto..."
Hearing his own name suddenly jolted Otto out of his daze.
He looked at his elderly father and was surprised to see a trace of tenderness on his father's face that he had never shown to him before.
"You, Otto... do you think I look down on you because I haven't shown you much care in the past?"
"No, no matter what, you are my son."
Of all your children, you are the most complicated.
"You inherited your mother's intelligence, learned some political maneuvering from me, and your sinister side is just like your grandfather's."
"People say you are weak and incompetent, but that is clearly not the case."
"Your great service during the Black Death is proof enough of your ability!"
"Let me be frank, you want to be the Archbishop of Destiny? You're not qualified!"
[Fireworks: This old guy's tone of voice is really annoying!]
[Furina: Saying Kallen must die right off the bat... isn't that a bit too direct...?]
[Star Iron Walter: Once you get involved with power, many things change, including people's hearts; they can no longer control their desires.]
[March 7th: Even Otto... seems much kinder in front of this group....]
[Hu Tao: Wait...didn't he have a very high opinion of Otto? Why wasn't Otto the successor to the bishop?]
[Fireworks: Hmph, that short-sighted old fox. He probably can't even dream that Otto's enormous achievements five hundred years later will be the limit of their imagination!]
[Ningguang: Indeed, it was under Otto's leadership that Schicksal truly grew strong and dominated the world! Humanity was no longer an ant beneath the Honkai's feet!]
Otto remained silent.
He clearly remembered the last family meeting.
Nicholas himself said that the throne would be passed to him.
He awaited his father's final words.
“I will pass this position on to Fernandinho’s eldest son, Marcel.”
"That child is only sixteen years old, yet he has a heart of stone!"
