On the other side of the screen, within the remnants of the Fire Moth organization from the previous civilization era, members witnessed Otto, in the video, dragging his exhausted body, stepping alone into the unknown 【Imaginary Space】. His destination was the tree that emitted a dazzling golden light - the 【Imaginary Tree】, a sight that left all the Honkai Heroes present speechless.
Although they had heard about it from the passengers of the Star Rail, witnessing Otto, with his own strength, not only traversing to the Imaginary Space, but also accurately pinpointing the location of the 【Imaginary Tree】, the shock was still indescribable. His feat seemed to be a bold challenge and transcendence of human limits, making it unbelievable.
Dr. Mei, the scientist known for her composure, couldn't hide her surprise at this moment. She sighed softly, "He actually did it... wandering in the Imaginary Space and locking onto the coordinates of the 【Imaginary Tree】. This is not just a display of courage and determination, but also a crystallization of wisdom and strategy. Every step was filled with uncertainty and danger, and yet, he accomplished it all alone. Otto's talent is truly awe-inspiring."
Mebius, with her characteristic sharp perspective, commented, "In our time, even with the collective wisdom and resources of all humanity, we might not have been able to reach such heights. Otto's achievements are undoubtedly a spur to us, and even... a kind of irony." Her voice held both resentment and recognition of Otto's ability.
However, Vill-V, the outstanding figure in the field of research, saw hope from a different angle. She smiled and said, "But don't forget, the reason Otto was able to reach this point is also thanks to the scientific achievements of our previous civilization era and the assistance of the 【Void Archives】. This is the culmination of the combined efforts of two eras, a heritage and collision of technology and wisdom. At the same time, this also proves that our efforts... were not completely meaningless!"
Her joy stemmed mainly from her own contributions, playing a decisive role in the future!
.....
Meanwhile, Otto in the headquarters of Schicksal, looking back at his past feat through the screen, felt an unprecedented excitement and anticipation.
He could already see the dawn of Kallen's return, that longing and joy almost overflowing from his eyes.
"It's almost there... just one last step... just inject my thoughts into the end of the Imaginary Space......... a new world will open, a world where Kallen lives, a world with a future will be born!"
Otto, he couldn't wait to see the continuation of the story!
He longed to see... the world where Kallen lived, appearing before his eyes!
........
Amidst the complex emotions of the audience, a mix of shock and subtle regret intertwined into a web, as they watched intently at the images continuing to flow on the screen.
Otto's figure, against the backdrop of intertwined crimson and gold, appeared exceptionally resilient.
Blood unyielding, it pierced through the gaps between his fingers, dripping onto the beach dyed red by the setting sun.
Although his body was ravaged, his face betraying the exhaustion and pain he couldn't disguise, his figure remained unwavering, walking alone and resolutely towards the distant and sacred golden tree.
Each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, yet was incredibly firm and powerful.
But he didn't stop for a moment.
Because........ it was the only way to achieve his dream.
His eyes pierced through layers of hardship, shining with the light of hope - it was a pursuit of a 500-year-old aspiration, but also a deep affection for Kallen, spanning time and transcending the boundaries of life and death.
.........
At this moment, Otto's inner voice seemed to transcend the screen, directly touching the depths of every viewer's heart.
Otto: "Life... is truly a fragile thing."
"When I was young, my sister died in battle."
"They told me, her soul lives on."
"Generation after generation, humans always enjoy deceiving themselves with such lies."
"Believing in so-called afterlife, believing in the eternity of consciousness. They disguise the mortal world as if death doesn't exist."
"Until death suddenly invades their lives, befalls those they love..."
"Even at this moment, they will intensify their self-deception -"
"Believing that love can transcend all things........."
As Walter had profoundly articulated, although all of this seemed so unimaginable, even difficult for people to accept.
But Otto's love was genuine... undeniable...
This character from the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, he interpreted the true meaning and depth of "love" in an almost extreme way.
He, undoubtedly, is the man in this world who understands and practices the complexity of the emotion "love" most profoundly........
