The battle on screen raged on unabated!
Otto, facing the massive, pitch-black Honkai Beast, demonstrated his exceptional tactical mind, even though he wasn't a combat prodigy himself.
Yet, his genius intellect still found a way to shine in the heat of battle!
He gripped the 【Judah's Oath】, a cross weapon that counteracted Honkai, its chains tightly wrapped around the Honkai Beast, temporarily restraining the behemoth's fury.
Otto, agile and swift, darted along the beast's enormous body, as nimble as a cheetah pursuing its prey. He leaped with a powerful bound, his body tracing a smooth arc in the air, before plummeting towards the beast's head like a falling star.
“Boom!” A sound that shook the earth echoed out! ! ! !
Otto, carrying the gravitational potential of 【Judah's Oath】, impacted the Honkai Beast's head like a meteorite, a thick cloud of crimson dust rising, a testament to the might of the strike.
Then, 【Judah's Oath】 slowly unfurled its mysterious embrace, the obsidian weapons embedded within gleaming under the moonlight, each radiating a deadly threat!
“Bang bang bang! Boom!” A series of deafening explosions echoed in quick succession, weapons spewing forth from 【Judah's Oath】 turning into a tempest of destruction, tearing the Honkai Beast's body to shreds.
The intense shockwave sent Otto flying, slamming him hard onto the blood-red gravel. His body bore multiple wounds, his clothes were tattered, revealing exhaustion and disarray.
Yet, Otto's eyes remained steadfast, flashing with unyielding determination. He knew victory was within grasp, and no pain or fatigue could hinder his progress.
Now....... he was virtually unhindered in his pursuit of 【Imaginary Number’s End】........
【Black Otto】 craved a fusion, hoping to keep Otto from moving forward.
But, Otto had already transcended his former nightmare.......
This act had actually accelerated Otto's progress towards 【Imaginary Number’s End】!
.......
At the other end of the screen, time rewound to the Far East five hundred years ago, in the village of Yae, where the ancient Yae Shrine stood serene and dignified.
Kallen’s gaze transcended the river of time, fixated on Otto in the video. He was once again unlocking a new application for 【Judah's Oath】 with his “Great Inventor” intellect, each demonstration accompanied by his unwavering, moving will.
Kallen felt a mix of emotions at this moment, having long since abandoned any consideration of why Otto could wield this weapon, a weapon that rightfully belonged to her.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, tears silently falling, each drop carrying her deep worry and heartache for her dear friend.
Her voice trembled, her heart filled with a complex mix of feelings. How she yearned for Otto to release the heavy burden, to stop his seemingly endless, crazy pursuit.
Yet, reason told her that hindering Otto would only plunge him into deeper suffering and struggle. The path he chose, though fraught with thorns, was the truest reflection of his deepest desires and unwavering convictions.
So, Kallen channeled her helplessness into silent prayers, begging Heaven to bless this tenacious and lonely soul, wishing that his efforts would finally be rewarded with a glimmer of success.
.........
The camera refocused on the video, Otto's figure silhouetted against the blood-red sand. He slowly, but resolutely, rose again. Though his body was battered by battle, his face was etched with the black-green lines that symbolized both his unyielding spirit and the fight he had endured.
These marks were telling the audience....... that Otto's time was truly running out.
But now, Otto was truly just a step away from 【Imaginary Number’s End】.
At this moment, there were no obstacles left on his path to stop his progress!
He staggered, yet resolutely, towards the direction of 【The Imaginary Number Tree】, each step imbued with tremendous effort and persistence. Though the journey was arduous, he never wavered or faltered. For on the distant shore lay his eternal dream — “Revive Kallen”!
Just then, an inspiring and soulful melody suddenly erupted, Otto's signature theme. Like a river flowing with emotion and stories, it wove the tale of Otto's life.
Each note pulsed with Otto's tenacity and perseverance....... recounting his lifetime of sins, and his lifelong 【Love】 for Kallen!

As the inspiring and soulful melody echoed in his ears, Otto's steps grew more resolute, each one seemingly in sync with the symphony of fate. Finally, he stood before the towering presence of 【The Imaginary Number Tree】, not only the endpoint of his long journey, but also the sacred ground his heart longed for, the “root” where he could fulfill his ultimate desire — “Revive Kallen”!!!
