The barrage of comments flew across the screen, the viewers' emotions fluctuating with the changing tide of the battle.
【Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana, astonished and worried】：“Look at those dark Ottos, they seem to be...fusing?!”
【Honkai Impact 3rd Bronya, calmly analyzing】：“Indeed, this strategy is very wise. Scattered operations would only allow Otto to defeat them one by one, but if they coalesce into a single, unprecedented powerful force...even Otto might struggle to handle it.”
【Honkai Impact 3rd Raiden Mei, concerned】：“If Otto was at his peak, this might not be a problem. But right now...his physical condition...”
【Kevin, deeply moved】：“His condition is worrisome, relying solely on a deceased body, his battle is sustained entirely by his incredible willpower. This in itself is a miracle. However, facing a stronger opponent, this persistence is proving incredibly difficult. But limits… always exist…”
【Honkai Impact 3rd Theresa, frantic】：“Grandpa…Grandpa won’t just fall like this, will he…?”
【March 7th, anxious】：“No! We were all eagerly anticipating this, we don’t want to see such an outcome!”
【Pioneer·Star Harmony】：“Indeed, I too, would not accept such a result.”
【Honkai Impact 3rd Otto, firmly responding】：“Rest assured, I, Otto, will not fall at this moment! For Kallen, I can do anything!”
【Star Rail Welt, affirming】：“Regarding Kallen…this man will once again transcend the limits. Please believe in that.”
......
Under the watchful eyes of countless worried viewers.
Returning to that screen...
Alongside the screen showcasing Otto’s story, another story was unfolding.
Five hundred years ago in Europe, night descended, shrouded in the shadows of a Honkai beast horde.
The city transformed into a sea of panic. The roars of the Honkai beasts resonated like a doomsday judgment, deafening and terrifying, instilling fear in the hearts of the people.
In the streets and alleys, the crowd surged like a tide. Terrified screams and desperate cries intertwined to form a chaotic symphony. The former prosperity and order had vanished, leaving behind only raging flames and fleeing figures.
The execution ground, a place that had witnessed countless turning points in destiny, now stood empty and desolate.
The embers of the brazier flickered in the night wind, casting shadows of Kallen's unyielding figure. Faced with her impending fate, she showed no fear or disdain, only reverence for life and an unwavering belief in saving others.
Kallen's heart, at this moment, was filled with immense sorrow!
She knew that the loss of every life was an irreparable tragedy, and she refused to be a mere bystander to this tragedy.
Thus, the strength within her was awakened, a persistent pursuit of justice and compassion.
With a sharp crack.
“Kree! Bang!”
The wooden shackles binding her hands crumbled before her astonishing strength, transforming into a shower of wood chips, heralding her liberation.
For Kallen, these so-called "shackles" were mere insignificant obstacles.
As the heir of the Kaslana family, she inherited the family's glory and power, a force that no chain of Schicksal could bind.
However, after experiencing the tumultuous changes in the Far East, Kallen's perspective on life underwent a profound transformation.
She no longer solely pursued personal survival and glory, but instead cast her gaze towards a broader horizon, those lives struggling in suffering.
Regaining her freedom, Kallen moved with effortless grace and strength. She easily tore through the hempen rope binding her neck, as if declaring to the world: She, Kallen Kaslana, would use her own means to protect every life on this land.
Even if it meant sacrificing her own life, she would not hesitate!
........
“Leave this place quickly!”
Kallen rushed into the panicked crowd without hesitation. Her voice cut through the chaos, guiding them like a beacon.
She shouted encouragement, urging them to stay calm, and organized an invisible force, leading everyone to retreat orderly toward safety.
Disregarding her own safety, she traversed through fire and Honkai beast threats, hoping to save as many lives as possible.
But with such a massive horde of Honkai beasts… relying solely on Kallen's strength… how could she possibly lead this city through this ordeal?
She was merely the heir of the 【Kaslana Family】.
She had not developed any other abilities.
In the 【Schicksal】 of 500 years ago, she was the most powerful Schicksal Saint.
But compared to the future, compared to the Pre-Honkai Era…
Her strength was negligible.
She was powerless to save this swarm of Honkai beasts.
........
And just as Kallen's story reached this point.
Otto's screen on the side was also playing…
Those scattered “dark Ottos” had completed an astonishing metamorphosis. They were no longer fragmented shadows but coalesced into an unprecedented torrent of darkness, finally solidifying into a colossal monstrosity – a Honkai beast as black as night, emanating a terrifying aura, its form twisted and grotesque, yet with a heart-pounding sense of familiarity…
