In the vast expanse of the Star Rail universe, a screen silently floated, its words like stars, inspiring wonder.
March 7th stared at those characters, her brow furrowed, revealing a look of confusion.
“Honkai World… Otto? These sound so strange!
But the name Otto, it’s like I heard it from Uncle Yang long ago…?”
She tilted her head, her voice tinged with curiosity and doubt.
At this moment, the Trailblazer and Dan Heng beside her both shook their heads, indicating they were equally clueless about these terms.
Their gazes converged on the more composed Welt Yang, hoping to find answers from him.
Himeko, the sharp-witted train conductor, keenly observed the subtle flicker of expression on Welt’s face.
Her heart weighed the implications, then she turned to Welt, her voice carrying a hint of inquiry.
“Mr. Welt… you seem to know something about this?” Her tone was polite but with a hint of unnoticeable urgency.
Faced with Himeko's question, Welt nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He knew the stories behind these words carried a weight of sorrow, yet he wasn't willing to fully unveil those buried memories just yet.
“Yes, Honkai World… that was my former home.”
Welt’s voice was deep and powerful, each word carrying the weight of a thousand pounds.
He paused, then continued.
“But those stories are too complicated, I can’t elaborate at the moment.”
“Of course… one thing you can be sure of… the one called Otto, the one with Otto’s face… all of them are bad people, none are good!”
His answer was both a response to Himeko’s question and a form of self-protection.
In this Star Rail universe brimming with unknowns and miracles, everyone had their own secrets and pasts, and Welt chose to keep these stories hidden deep in his heart. Besides, revealing them now would only add to his companions’ worries.
Of course, while Welt was reluctant to talk about his past.
But… when it came to dissing Otto, he never held back!
…
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen… inside Schicksal’s base.
Observing his large screen, which was playing something it shouldn’t be.
Otto didn’t show any panic.
Instead, he was quite interested in this so-called “Honkai Contrast”.
He exhibited a calm, composed, and amused expression.
He spoke slowly.
“Interesting… Honkai 2 World… dual Otto contrast…
So, this is a Honkai World I have never observed before?
I wonder… what does my parallel self look like?”
As he spoke, anticipation flickered in Otto’s pupils.
…
When all the viewers saw the title and began to ponder.

Essentially, all the viewers from the MiHoYo universe joined this live stream.
【Kiana】（her eyes sparkle with curiosity）: “Wow, a chat group? The creator of this screen is amazing, their technology is beyond imagination!”
【Black Serpent】（his brow furrows, a trace of dissatisfaction in his voice）: “Even I haven’t touched upon this realm of technology… it’s both surprising and exciting.”
【Kafka】（shaking her head lightly, her gaze deep）: “The script of Aelio didn’t foresee this scene. It seems the net of fate is more intricate than we imagined.”
【Silver Wolf】（a playful smile curls her lips）: “This is like a game tailored for me. Interesting, very interesting.”
【Mei】（her voice trembling with amazement）: “You… are you from the future? How is this possible?!”
【Elysia】（joyfully jumping, her voice clear and sweet）: “Aha, I got invited to join too! Through this amazing screen, it’s like we can transcend the boundaries of time and space, talk freely, it’s so amazing!”
【Eden】（her voice gentle and urgent, as if spanning across long years）: “Elysia, is that really you? Elysia, are you alright?!”
【Elysia】（turning to Eden on the other side of the screen, her smile as warm as spring）: “Of course it’s me, Eden! Look, through this screen, the distance between us is no longer an obstacle. Let’s enjoy this miracle together.”
【Otto】（his eyes flashing with admiration）: “Such extraordinary technology is truly mind-boggling.”
【Kevin】（his tone solemn, his gaze firm）: “However, I’m more concerned about the mention of ‘Herrscher of the End’. Perhaps something deeper and more dangerous lurks behind this.”
【Su】（speaking softly, as if interpreting an ancient prophecy）: “Herrscher of the End in a parallel world… what future does this foretell?”
【Bronya】（her finger gently placed on her lips, urging everyone to be quiet）: “Shh… everyone, pay attention, the video on the screen is about to start playing. Maybe we can find more clues from it.”
As Bronya’s words trailed off, the light on the screen gradually gathered, an unknown visual feast was about to begin, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the image about to unfold.
