Upon seeing Otto like this, players couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in their hearts.
Again.
Who would want to be a notorious villain?
Although this was the path Otto himself chose… patrolling…
Although Otto does not deserve or need to be pitied.
But... now, as he speaks these words in a dejected tone, he seems to have a prodigal son returning home.
Even if players understand that even if they could do it all over again, Otto would still choose to be the villain.
But human compassion still touched the players' hearts, making them feel sad for Otto.
The comment above is right.
I feel sorry for Otto now, and I'm saddened and regretful because of his departure.
But if Otto comes back, he'll still want to put him back!
Chapter 171 Thus Spoke Apocalypse
"Theresa, my dear granddaughter..."
"You are becoming a great leader."
"Given time, you will eventually make the world forget your grandfather, and his merits and demerits will be buried in history and disappear as mere gossip."
"But...you should eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon occasionally."
"You always stay up late; your body needs more nutrition..."
"Did you know... Grandpa personally sewed the Archbishop's scapular for you for the coronation ceremony tomorrow..."
"If you won't mind... then use it to start your own era... and wash away the stains that Grandpa left on it..."
……
In these final moments, Otto was like a loving elder.
He expressed his love for Theresa in his slightly hoarse voice.
Otto genuinely cares about and likes Theresa very much.
Although this affection still ranks below "Karen" in Otto's heart.
But aside from Kallen, Otto's biggest concern is definitely Theresa.
Hearing Otto say these words to Theresa, many players couldn't help but recall Theresa's chapter in the side story.
Today marks Theresa's first battle against a Honkai Beast.
Fortunately, the beasts we were about to defeat were merely tank-class Honkai Beasts.
I also carefully inspected the equipment she was using.
[She also added her favorite bitter melon juice to the food.]
The nun's habit skirt has also been thoroughly washed.
These words are Otto's monologue in that extra chapter.
Every word he uttered revealed his deep affection for Theresa.
But because of everything Otto did to Kiana and the others—
Awakening the Herrscher of the Void, killing Himeko, shooting Fu Hua...
Moreover, judging from the plot at that time, Otto didn't seem to care whether Theresa lived or died.
All of this led players to mistakenly believe that Otto's kindness towards Theresa was merely for show.
The things he said in episode 527 were naturally mistaken for lies.
Only now do players truly understand Otto's dying words—
He really cares about Theresa.
Even if he has wronged everyone in the world, he absolutely cannot be said to have wronged Theresa.
And this kind of family affection is what touches people the most.
Therefore, at this moment, Otto temporarily made everyone forget all the merits and demerits he had ever done.
Now, he's just an ordinary, dying man...
……
"My old friends..."
"The Crimson Iris Immortal, the Herrscher of Reason... they are truly good people, and they will definitely help you forge your own path."
“And Bianca…my last student…”
At this point, Otto chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Heh~"
"I manipulated your life, planned your destiny, nurtured you with genuine affection, and used you as a pawn to take advantage of you at will..."
"Do you know... everything that was shown to you in these last ten years—"
"It's just so that after this kind of annihilation, someone can erect a wordless monument for me..."
……
[I'm so touched, sob sob... QAQ]
Why is a villain portrayed so fully?!
Although I really hate Otto, right now, I just can't bring myself to hate him QAQ
I really wanted to go up and help the bishop QAQ
I think I heard a sob in the main character's voice QAQ
Otto... he's such a love-hate figure...
Before, I thought I would be happy about Otto's death, but now...
[Damn miHoYo...they're really good at this QAQ]
Otto is indeed bad, but now I think he can't be considered utterly wicked...
[I've already identified with Kallen QAQ]
[Damn! The person upstairs...]
……
Before this chapter was released, almost all players were looking forward to Otto showing his health bar.
Otto's health bar did indeed appear.
Players can indeed beat up Otto now.
But at this moment, no one cares anymore.
As they watched Otto approach the Tree of Imaginary Numbers step by step, they subconsciously began to cheer him on.
It has to be a success...
Just as Otto finally approached the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, the scene abruptly ended.
The game screen has also been changed to a level completion screen.
The crowd was not disappointed; on the contrary, they were somewhat excited.
Because the animated short film for this chapter hasn't been shown yet!
Sure enough, when the game returned to the level selection screen, the last play button was unlocked.
Without hesitation, Alicia quickly pressed the play button.
The opening scene still features the miHoYo logo.
What followed was a melancholic piano melody.
Using such music to accompany a notorious villain is somewhat inappropriate.
But when paired with Otto now, and with what Otto is about to do... it seems to fit perfectly.
As Otto's narration began, the players' hearts began to calm down.
"When a person truly wants to change the world..."
"Only then will you realize how insignificant an individual's power is..."
The scene slowly unfolds.
Withered vines, crows at dusk...
The sight of the total solar eclipse in the sky seemed to foreshadow the fate of the saint.
Even the churches, which should be sacred, seemed to be shrouded in a heavy gloom.
