On that vast, silent canvas of white, two distinct yet harmoniously coexisting voices intertwined, like the first rays of dawn meeting the deep twilight. One was the clear, slightly childish voice of Otto from his childhood, brimming with innocence and wonder for the world; the other was the steady, powerful voice of the adult Otto, imbued with the wisdom of years and an unspoken depth.
“Don’t worry, this time…”
“Everything will change because of you…”
“Just like long, long ago, you changed a certain boy.”
“It was a spring morning…”
“He, unloved, met you climbing over the wall…”
And the mature Otto, spoke of love.
“You greeted him enthusiastically, inviting him to play with you.”
“And in that moment…”
“This boy…”
“Found his lifelong salvation…”
There was once a saying.
【Some heal their entire lives with their childhood, while others spend their lives healing their childhood.】
It was likely speaking of Otto.
This time… this is truly the end for the story of Honkai Impact 3rd’s Otto.
…
As the final chapter of “Apocalypse Thus Spoke” gracefully drew to a close, an indescribable sadness pervaded the audience beyond the screen. Everyone understood that for a “sinner” like Otto, burdened with a heavy past and choices, such an ending was undoubtedly the most fulfilling release.
However, after deeply experiencing Otto's love for Kallen, a love that transcended time and death, this release could not conceal the regret and reluctance in everyone's hearts.
The audience's emotions were complex and subtle, they couldn't help but fantasize, if possible, that Otto and Kallen could meet in a corner of some spacetime, confide in each other, what a beautiful scene that would be.
…
However, just as everyone's emotions were still struggling to recover from the sadness, a new chapter, the story of Otto in Honkai Impact 2nd, unfolded seamlessly on the screen!
On the screen, a new image quietly opened, taking the audience into an old-fashioned, European-style building filled with retro charm. Flames danced in the fireplace, casting warm light, intermingling with the dim glow of the oil lamp on the table, creating a warm yet slightly mysterious atmosphere.
However, this tranquility was soon shattered by the next scene - the screen displayed a strange scene that spanned time and space, Kallen and Fu Hua, these two powerful figures who should have had completely different destinies in the Honkai world, were now sitting face-to-face.
This scene undoubtedly shocked and intrigued the audience.
…
Fu Hua single-handedly crushed Schicksal's Far East Army, leaving only Kallen and Otto alive.
Theoretically…
In this timeline 500 years ago, they should have been enemies.
But this is the world of Honkai Impact 2nd, after all, it's understandable that there would be differences.
…
The audience's thoughts surged with the scenes on the screen, filled with anticipation and speculation about what might happen next.
【Honkai Impact 3rd Otto】(Inner monologue): This scene, so familiar, yet so strange, I once imagined this scenario, hoping that the Azure Empyrea would lend a hand and give Kallen a new life.
【Starry Honkai Impact 3rd Walter】(with a touch of teasing): Were you dreaming that the Azure Empyrea would become your savior and reverse Kallen's fate, Otto?
【Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana】(eyes sparkling with curiosity): It seems that the dorm leader in this Honkai Impact 2nd world has the same personality as our dorm leader, it's amazing.
【Honkai Impact 3rd Bronya】(shaking her head slightly, slightly helpless at Kiana's outspokenness): Kiana, isn't that obvious?
【Honkai Impact 3rd Mei】(furrowing her brows): What are they talking about? The atmosphere seems rather heavy.
【Honkai Impact 3rd Theresa】(observing the scene carefully): Hmm, the atmosphere is indeed unusual, it feels like something is about to happen.
【Mei】(foreseeing the future with her wisdom): Soon, that Otto, who sees Honkai as the path to salvation, will also enter this scene.
【Aether】(sighing softly): It’s really confusing, why would the Otto in another world have such different thoughts…
【Kevin】(analyzing calmly): Different worlds, different experiences, differences in thought are to be expected.
【March 7th】(sensing the subtle atmosphere in the scene): This scene, it just feels kind of…
【Star】(suddenly remembering): Like that feeling in Belobog, a faint sense of an impending storm?
【Dan Heng】(nodding in agreement): Indeed, this atmosphere reminds me of many past experiences.
【Honkai Impact 3rd 姬子】(eyes deep): This scene is indeed unexpected, it shows that in the world of Honkai Impact 2nd, the course of many stories is different from what we know.
【Honkai Impact 3rd Yae Sakura】(a hint of anticipation in her tone): The him in another world, he should be appearing soon, this Bishop.
