🕑 Added 2025-08-28 03:00:03 +0000 UTCEpisode 101: “Farewell, The Great Inventor.”
『 After finishing the matter of his granddaughter, Otto Apocalypse's eyes seemed to conjure the image of another person.
“Bianca, my last student. Although I arranged your life, manipulated your destiny, and on one hand genuinely trained you, on the other hand, I used you as a pawn. And you know what?”
“Everything I've shown you in the last decade of my life was just so that after I disappear like this, someone would erect a tombstone without words for me.”
“I don't need anyone to judge me. After all, in these long yet short five hundred years, I was just a man who poured all his efforts into his obsession.”
“This man has now reached the end of his journey.”
“What he wants to accomplish...”
“What he wants to witness...”
“What he wants to redeem...”
“These have taken root and grown within the Imaginary Tree, waiting for that lost messenger to deliver the final message before all ends. That moment will be neither too early nor too late. She will become a requiem that transcends death.”
“It will become an anthem for the arrival of a miracle.”
“At that moment, even this world will revolve around one person, making the imposed sins dissipate, and allowing the terminated will to move forward.”
“The despicable, I will take to the grave; the radiant will shine towards the future because of you.”
Having spoken these reflections, Otto showed no hint of regret.
Then, he began to speak with a self-mocking tone:
“I deceived friends, deceived family, deceived the world and its laws, all to give you, the only you, a second chance at life.”
“I'm back, Kallen.” 』

【 Durandal (Honkai: Impact Third): “Bishop Otto, so that's how it is.” 】
【 Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): “Even though you... Forget it, there's nothing good to say. I said I wouldn't pick on you today.” 】
【 Chitanda Eru (Hyouka): “I actually think that even though this Otto did so many bad things, he can be considered a bad person, a standard bad person.” 】
【 Yuto Kiba (High School DxD): “+ 1” 】
【 Keqing (Genshin Impact): “Exactly, he looks even worse than those guys from the Fatui.” 】
【 Childe (Genshin Impact): “Ah, that's a truly good evaluation.” 】
【 。。。。。】
『 As he spoke, a different scene seemed to appear before everyone's eyes.
This was not the scene within this mysterious space.
It was another scene from the depths of Otto's memory.
It was a scene from five hundred years ago.
“When a person truly wants to change the world, they will realize how small individual strength is.”
As Otto's voice echoed again.
The scene shifted to a dark, ambitious land.
In a somewhat desolate landscape.
As if disturbed by some sound,
Crows that had been perched on dead branches took flight, cawing loudly.
A puddle on the ground reflected the moonlight.
However,
The moonlight this time was unusually dim,
As if obscured by something. 』
『 。。。。。』

【 March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): “How did the scene change like this?” 】
【 Yuigahama Yui (Oregairu): “We were just in that mysterious space.” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “Heh, is it this time?” 】
【 Paimon (Genshin Impact): “When is it?” 】
【 Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): “This place, could it be!” 】
【 Tesla (Honkai: Impact Third): “This, an important moment?” 】
【 。。。。。】
『 Just as everyone was wondering what this symbolized,
Otto's voice sounded again.
“The girl of that year sacrificed everything for the people, only to be met with cruel torture and a hanging.”
As the words continued,
A pair of high heels caught everyone's attention,
Quickly stepping across the puddle, reflecting the moonlight.
The scene gradually rose,
A white-haired woman appeared in the center, accompanied by two women in black.
Simultaneously, a line of text appeared in the center of the screen:
《 500 Years Ago, Klez town》 』
『 。。。。。』
~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~
【 Mash Kyrielight (Type-Moon): “It's actual history from five hundred years ago?” 】
【 Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): “No way, this time it's...?” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “Yes, the place where the saint was executed back then.” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “But she didn't die from execution, hehe, it's ironic.” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “However, in the end, I want to create a world with Kallen.” 】
【 Uchiha Obito (Naruto): “.....” 】
【 。。。。。】
『 The screen slowly panned upwards.
The distant grand cathedral, like a piece of darkness within the light, seemed to hold some profound meaning.
In the square in front of the cathedral,
A massive gallows stood,
As if silently awaiting a pure maiden to bravely walk towards death for this world.
At this moment,
The color of the distant cathedral deepened, like dark purple.
The surrounding scenery returned to its original place.
At this time, Otto was walking here,
His figure reappeared,
Stumbling step by step in one direction.
“This world is chaotic, unfair, and unreasonable.”
“It crushes heroes, nourishes villains, ugliness blooms everywhere, and beauty is nowhere to be found.”
Just as he said,
From the blood-red earth, countless sand figures emerged,
Many of these villains bore a resemblance to Otto himself.
But Otto's eyes were exceptionally firm, staring into the distance.
“Hmph, the malice of this world will be severed by the wicked.”
In Otto's hand, the illusory weapon of the Seventh Divine Key, the Fire of the Void, gradually took shape.
Gazing at the sand figures representing malice, or rather, parallel world versions of Otto. 』
『 。。。。。』

【 Himeko (Honkai: Star Rail): “What are these things?” 】
【 Durandal (Honkai: Impact Third): “These, they all seem to be Bishop.” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “Heh, the wicked me, must I resolve them myself?” 】
【 。。。。。】
『 Looking at the familiar figure before him.
Without hesitation, he charged forward with his weapon.
The scene shifted again, returning to five hundred years ago.
The crucial moment when the maiden Kallen was walking towards the execution ground,
All of this seemed to be imbued with some deep meaning.
At that time, Kallen willingly walked towards death,
Just like Otto Apocalypse five hundred years later, he was equally willing.
When Kallen reached the center of the execution platform, she took a deep breath,
As if lamenting the ignorance of the medieval European populace and the corruption of the Schicksal organization.
The world trampled on heroes,
As a maiden, Kallen voluntarily stepped forward, using self-sacrifice to awaken the ignorant people.
The moment Kallen was hanged by the noose,
The scene spun violently, returning to the strange space where Otto was.
Archbishop Otto, wielding the Fire of the Void, rapidly charged towards the sand figures.
He had appeared weak just moments ago,
But at the moment his wish was about to be fulfilled, he ignited his fighting spirit and approached rapidly.
He leaped up and smashed heavily onto the sand figures on the ground.
Although this blow destroyed many sand figures, more sand figures surged towards Otto in the center.
Archbishop Otto gathered his strength again, displaying his powerful combat prowess.
During the battle,
Otto's inner monologue echoed in everyone's ears. He put down the Fire of the Void and condensed the Sixth Divine Key, the Black Abyss White Flower.
“This is her distance from the world, the world's cruel retaliation against her, but her believers will not retreat because of this.”
As the words fell,
He struck down three attacking sand figures in succession.
Seeing this, the surrounding sand figures quickly pounced.
Otto, seeing this, decisively dropped his weapon and took a large step back before the sand figures' assault reached him.
The sand figures missed and hurriedly adjusted their stance to attack again.
At this instant,
A new weapon pierced the forehead of a sand figure,
It was the Tenth Divine Key, the Key of Domination,
This was also the only Divine Key that Otto could mass-produce.
In the subsequent battle, Otto continuously produced the Key of Domination.
If it were Otto at his peak, he would naturally have no fear of these clown-like sand figures.
But now,
After so many schemes, so many battles,
His stamina was almost exhausted.
Even facing these clowns, he felt powerless.
But precisely at this moment,
The sand figures behind him, driven by some will,
Converged into a familiar yet terrifying enemy—an Honkai Beast.
This was the nightmare of Otto Apocalypse's heart for five hundred years, stemming from the unresolvable regret and sorrow from five hundred years ago.
As the scene progressed, everyone's eyes replayed the scene from five hundred years ago:
Just as the saint was about to be executed, the roars of Honkai Beasts echoed around.
The moment Saint Kallen saw the Honkai Beast,
Witnessing its rampage and the harm it inflicted on innocent civilians,
Her heart could no longer remain calm.
She violently broke the chains on the roasting rack,
Then, she forcefully pulled off the noose around her neck.
Kallen from five hundred years ago and Otto from five hundred years later,
Both faced two similar yet not entirely identical Honkai Beasts and launched their attacks.
At this time, Otto switched to a new Divine Key—
The Eleventh Divine Key, Oath of Judah.
He utilized its power, rapidly entangling the massive Honkai Beast with chains,
And while it was immobilized, he agilely rushed to higher ground.
When he reached the top of the Honkai Beast,
He suddenly leaped up,
And smashed the Oath of Judah fiercely onto the Honkai Beast's forehead.
Not only that, but the moment of contact,
Otto activated the Oath of Judah,
Releasing all its hidden weapons.
This skill was named: 《 Judah Scattergun 》 』

【 Bronya (Honkai: Impact Third): “Bishop Otto's proficiency in using so many Divine Keys seems higher than ours.” 】
【 Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): “Judah, it can actually be used like this.” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “My dear granddaughter, of course it can. The use of weapons depends on the person.” 】
【 Yusuke Godai (Kamen Rider): “However, this combat style is truly amazing!” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “Heh, I've lived for five hundred years after all.” 】
【 Nahida (Genshin Impact): “..... (Five hundred years, weak and helpless.)” 】
【 Scaramouche (Genshin Impact): “..... (Five hundred years, homeless.)” 】
【 Raiden Shogun (Genshin Impact): “..... (Five hundred years, don't know what to do, on standby.)” 】
【 Paimon (Genshin Impact): “? What's wrong with you three?” 】
【 。。。。。】
『 With this blow, the giant Honkai Beast crashed to the ground,
And Otto was also flung away by the immense force.
This attack signified that he had finally severed the sins of five hundred years and compensated for the regrets of five hundred years ago.
He was only one step away from his ultimate hope.
He struggled to get up, his gaze fixed on the distant Imaginary Tree, forcing himself to stand firm.
Not only him, but Saint Kallen from five hundred years ago, after defeating the enemy,
Discovered a child in the ruins being threatened by an approaching Honkai Beast.
Without a moment's hesitation, she rushed forward,
At the instant the Honkai Beast's attack was about to land, she used herself as a shield, blocking that fatal blow.
And Otto, from five hundred years later, also encountered an attack,
It was the same giant beast that had not been completely destroyed earlier.
In an instant, Otto was pierced by energy, suffering immense pain.
Otto wanted to give up resisting,
But seeing that familiar back and smile,
Our Bishop Otto Apocalypse endured the severe pain,
And broke free from the restraints.
Before him appeared the last Divine Key—
The First Divine Key, Void Archive.
He tightly grasped the Void Archive, and its immense power immediately engulfed the Honkai Beast behind him.
When the dust settled, only Bishop Otto, holding the Void Archive, remained.
But he paid no attention to the First Divine Key in his hand,
As he continued forward, he casually tossed the Void Archive behind him.
He gazed at the distant Imaginary Tree, his eyes flashing with determined light.
“Once a soul dissipates, it cannot be reborn.”
“This world allows souls to reside in new bodies, but it does not allow scattered consciousness to gather.”
Then, he summoned the Fire of the Void again, his finger gently touching the Imaginary Tree.
At the moment of contact, new branches grew from the Imaginary Tree,
Symbolizing the rewritten past world that Bishop Otto had longed for.
“Therefore, to save her, I had no choice but to forge a new path in the past.”
Thus, at this moment, a brand new future began, a glorious chapter belonging solely to her.
On the other side of the lens, the recently heavily wounded maiden Kallen's time seemed to freeze, standing still.
The giant barrier surrounding Klez town also shattered at this instant.
Bishop Otto, who had broken through the black sun's shroud, then fell from the sky.
The tentacles that had been entwining Kallen instantly vanished without a trace.
She used this momentum to push the Honkai Beast away.
In the sky, Otto plummeted rapidly, ignoring the slight cracking of his palm,
He held tightly onto the weapon named “Fire of the Void” and did not let go.
He aimed at the Honkai Beast below, transforming into a meteor, hurtling down rapidly.
As the meteor fell, Otto's figure slowly faded from view,
But in the last moment before disappearing, a smile seemed to appear on his lips.
It was the relief and joy of his five-hundred-year wish finally being granted.
Immediately after,
The Fire of the Void descended from the sky, striking the Honkai Beast that he had released five hundred years ago and which had killed Kallen.
Five hundred years later, he personally ended this old grievance.
“Kallen, live on.” 』
『 。。。。。』

【 Himeko (Honkai: Star Rail): “Has this sentence been brewing for five hundred years?” 】
【 Otto (Honkai: Impact Third): “Heh, you could say that.” 】
【 。。。。。】
『 As the Honkai Beast was struck, Otto left this final sentence, echoing through the world.
Kallen, holding the child, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked back,
But amidst the deafening explosion, she understood in her heart the departure of someone.
At this moment, the Archbishop who had held the reins of Schicksal for five hundred years,
Otto Apocalypse,
Has forever departed from us.
We offer him our highest respect.
Regardless of what he has done, it is precisely because of his existence that the world has continued to this day,
And Schicksal has reached its current state.
Because of all of this,
It was the most selfish sacrifice a person could make. The scene shifted,
Under an old tree,
Young Otto and Kallen played and laughed.
Kallen ran ahead, and Otto, despite his heavy breathing, chased after her with all his might.
In their hands, they held practice items,
It was a small airplane personally made by Otto.
In this timeline, Otto chased after his small airplane, running forward continuously.
Running non-stop, towards the distance.
Suddenly looking back, he was shocked to find,
That the girl was no longer by his side.
Only that solitary airplane remained, traversing five hundred years of time.
The scenes unfolded one by one, depicting the journey of these five hundred years:
Whether it was Otto embracing Kallen in agony,
Or his obtaining the position of Grand Bishop of Schicksal,
Or the creation of the K 423 clone five hundred years later,
Welt Yang saving Li Sushang, or confronting the First Herrscher,
Even the moment A 310 (Theresa) forgave A 303 (Amber),
Their world ushered in dawn.
However, our Grand Bishop had achieved his lifelong wish and had no opportunity to witness that future.
As the images of Otto's life, filled with sin and loneliness, came to an end,
The great inventor Otto,
Stopped his footsteps here.
At the same time,
The small airplane, which had flown for an unknown duration, finally landed on the ground.
The inventor picked up the small airplane that had also stopped.
The scene finally settled under that big tree,
Young Kallen and Otto sat by the campfire, sleeping peacefully.
Just as everyone thought everything had ended,
A mixed male and female voice sounded, echoing in their ears:
“And so, the story goes. I traveled to the far future, experienced all sorts of adventures, and finally, I too had the chance to tell you the truth of the world like this.”
“No need to worry, this time, everything changed because of you.”
“Just like a long, long time ago, you changed a certain ordinary boy,”
“It was a spring morning.” 』
『 。。。。。』
