In the video, the battle between the two girls and 【Pseudo-God Otto】 continues, and it's intense.
Facing the combined attack of Kiana and Yae Sakura, 【Pseudo-God Otto】 still maintains his composure and calmness.
Despite the battle, under the siege of the two girls, his body inevitably starts to show wounds.
But these wounds are not enough to change the battle situation, nor are they enough to defeat the Pseudo-God by Kiana and Yae Sakura.
Also, Otto, who possesses infinite power, can't be killed.
He even has time to provoke Kiana and Yae Sakura verbally.
"Humph~~ Is this how you conquer 【Infinity】?
You underestimate the power of a 【Pseudo-God】!
【Stigmata】, 【Herrscher】...
You want to surpass 【The True Self】 with these shadows of imaginary numbers?
If you can do it, I'd be happy to stay with you till the end."
.........
In this specific timeline.
【Pseudo-God Otto】 has made a contract with 【The Imaginary Tree】.
In the process, he has probably already understood the most crucial truth.
Except for the supreme 【Herrscher of the End】, all other Herrschers are illusory reflections of 【The Cocoon of the End】, mere projections of the vast will of 【The Herrscher of the End】, according to Otto's philosophical interpretation, they are merely "shadows of imaginary numbers."
Otto now holds the infinite power of imaginary numbers, making him an invincible being in the universe.
However, even so, Kiana and Yae Sakura, these two brave girls, still persist in fighting him to the death. They seem unaware of the true way to "kill" Otto!
.........
However, Pseudo-God Otto is happy to help the two girls "kill" him.
At this moment, Otto continues to provoke the two girls.
"Girls, do you think I'm cruel?
Let me teach you the ways of cruelty.
Those who fall should be pushed down further!"
Listening to the unusually long speech from the Archbishop of Schicksal, we feel a surge of passion from Otto that we haven't seen before.
Yae Sakura finally couldn't help but retort:
"You really have a lot of stage presence today!"
"Don't you usually say that after the performance is over?" she added.
.........
However, in Otto's heart, a shadow quietly grows, he doesn't fully believe that these two girls can fulfill his deep-seated expectations.
So, he needs a trigger, a trigger that can awaken the potential of the two girls, allow them to transcend themselves, and show their unprecedented power.
.........
Meanwhile, outside the screen, in the Valkyrie dormitory of St. Freya Academy, the atmosphere is tense due to the video.
The members of the "御三家" are staring intently at the screen, their hearts rising and falling with the battle.
However, amidst this tension, Fu Hua, the Immortal, observes the hidden unusualness behind the video with a detached perspective.
"Something's off... Otto in this state clearly has the power to end everything easily." She mutters to herself, a hint of doubt in her brows.
"But he's not doing it, instead, he's continuously encouraging Kiana and Yae Sakura with words, as if he's deliberately guiding them."
"What's even more perplexing is that Otto doesn't evade their attacks, he lets those weak yet accumulated attacks land on him."
"Otto's strength has reached its peak, how could he be so reckless? There must be a deeper meaning behind this."
"Based on what I know about him, he's never been impulsive, nor would he easily expose his weakness."
"Those words, which sound like mockery and teasing, are they a carefully laid trap?"
Fu Hua's heart skips a beat, a daring guess gradually takes shape.
"Could it be that Otto is doing this to... seek his own self-reflection, or perhaps... seek some kind of liberation?"
At this moment, Fu Hua feels like she's pierced through the layers of fog and touched the truest intention of Otto's heart.
........
On the screen, Otto's battle scene is incredibly confusing, because it reveals a clear kind of deliberate "throwing" of the fight.
This scene not only makes the audience understand, it also stirs up layers of ripples in the hearts of two people who know the truth.
First, it's Otto himself, he knows the truth of what he's plotting.
Second, it's Welt, who has crossed countless stories and cosmic boundaries, and is now in the Stargazer Universe.
He looks at everything on the screen, a mixture of emotions in his heart.
During the Honkai era, he didn't personally experience that battle.
But judging from the outcome, the future Kiana and Yae Sakura did win.
However, the truth is so unexpected. Otto has actually given up the battlefield, his every action is carefully orchestrating a play of self-redemption.
March 7th is anxiously watching from the side, she can't help but mutter: "What's in Otto's head?
She looks at her companions in confusion.
"Is he really just playing with this battle, deliberately stalling for time?"
Dan Heng thinks for a moment, slowly shaking his head.
"I agree that he's not fighting seriously. But it's not as simple as just playing. Actually, he's more eager than anyone for Yae Sakura and Kiana to defeat him quickly."
Upon hearing this, Himeko gently nods, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes.
"Dan Heng, your observation is still sharp."
March 7th is even more confused, she asks again.
"What are you talking about? The more I listen, the more confused I get!"
Welt patiently explains: "Otto is not only letting water, he's also guiding Kiana on how to defeat him. He deliberately creates a loophole so that Kiana can use the power of the Herrscher of the Void to create a fleeting gap, just so Kiana can cut off his connection with the Imaginary Tree, fulfilling his deep-seated desire or "liberation." Moreover, this guidance reveals a sense of urgency, as if he's been waiting for this moment for a long time."
After hearing this, March 7th suddenly understands, but it also makes her understand and feel more about the complex emotions she has for Otto.
But then she had another question... Why does Otto want "liberation"?
