Hearing what Su Mu said, Sirin and the audience suddenly became interested.
No, to be precise, they are very interested.
After all, this is Otto's story.
In Chapter 9 of the main plot, Otto's impression is no less impressive than Himeko's.
Nothing but negative.
Because this is the first time for everyone to see such a cold villain in a game who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal even use emotional bonds.
Among the villains they had seen before, the most ferocious one was probably the one from the original world, Bowser.
So Otto's appearance made people extremely angry with him, but they also succeeded in remembering him.
As the story progresses, everyone watches little Otto and little Kallen grow up slowly, and the bond between them becomes deeper and deeper. Kallen has always believed in saving the world and worked hard for it, and Otto also tried his best to help her.
Later, Kallen's father died in the battle. For Kallen, Otto unlocked the seal of Void Archive and wanted to use his own life to resurrect Kallen's father, but was stopped by Kallen who arrived in time.
Later, the Black Death broke out in Europe. Otto did not hesitate to use human experiments to develop special medicines for Kallen's desire to save the world, but he did not dare to let Kallen know what he had done.
Seeing this, everyone's doubts became more and more intense.
Because at this time, Otto was doing good things.
In order to resurrect Kallen's father, he would rather use his own life in exchange.
Although he conducted private experiments on humans, his special medicine indeed cured all people infected with the Black Death.
You can say that the reason he did all this was to respond to Karen's expectations, but you can't deny his efforts.
This made everyone even more curious as to what happened to make such a man who wanted to save the world turn into the selfish and indifferent person he was five hundred years later.
Later, Kallen became the most powerful Valkyrie of Schicksal and became the people's shield, respected and worshiped by the people.
But as she grew older, Kallen found that her Schicksal had changed.
From the original organization that fought against Honkai, it became an organization that was trapped in the vortex of power and longed for status and money.
Under such circumstances, the leadership of Schicksal chose the Eastern Expedition. Even though Kallen was reluctant, she still had no choice but to go due to the pressure from her superiors.
But what no one expected was that in this eastern expedition that represented Schicksal's ambition, they suffered a huge defeat!
Because an immortal came from China!
In front of this immortal, the power of Schicksal seemed so vulnerable. Even Kallen was easily defeated in the hands of the immortal.
Otto rushed out at the critical moment, stood in front of Kallen, and decided to protect Kallen even at the cost of his life!
Finally, the Immortal let them go and said something to Kallen that had left a profound impact on her.
In Sirin's live broadcast room, everyone was shocked when the so-called immortal appeared.
Because this immortal looks like Fu Hua!
[I am super! Isn't this Fu Hua! ]
[I understand, no wonder Otto calls Fu Hua the Scarlet Kite Immortal. It turns out she is really an Immortal! ]
[Fu Hua is so strong at this time! Schicksal has an army of hundreds of thousands, and Kallen, the strongest Valkyrie, were no match for her! ]
[Wait a minute ... If Fu Hua is so strong, why will he become Otto's subordinate five hundred years later? And the strength is obviously not as good as it is now. ]
[Old thief, please explain! Why would Fu Hua become so much weaker after five hundred years? ]
Seeing the barrage in the live broadcast room, Sirin was also filled with questions. She looked at Su Mu curiously and asked,
" Teacher Su Mu, is Fu Hua really an immortal? "
" Well, she is indeed a true fairy. "
Su Mu nodded.
" Then why did she become Otto's subordinate five hundred years later? And her strength has been weakened so much. As long as Fu Hua has the current strength, I am afraid that even the Herrscher of the Void will not be her opponent, right? "
" This involves spoilers. There will be a chronicle chapter about Fu Hua later. You will know it after reading it. "
Su Mu said,
" What I can only tell you is that Fu Hua's identity is far more than what you think on the surface. "
[ah? Isn't Fu Hua's identity more than just an immortal? Damn it, this character has too many secrets! ]
[I understand, it turns out that the chronicle of Honkai Impact III is about the history of the Honkai Impact world before the main plot happened! ]
" Yes, this audience member guessed it right. In my conception, the world of Honkai Impact III is a very huge world. Everyone has their own story, and their stories are closely related to the world of Honkai Impact III. , and even profoundly affects the characters in the main plot. "
" So this is the purpose of the Chronicle, so that you can witness more of the characters' stories and the traces they left in this world from another perspective. "
And ... the story of the thirteen heroes from fifty thousand years ago.
The last sentence was what Su Mu said silently in his heart.
Sirin continued the game.
After the failure of Schicksal's Eastern Expedition, Schicksal issued " indulgence coupons " in order to make up for the war losses, which made the people miserable.
Kallen couldn't watch the people suffer, so she used the mask given by Shakespeare to become a master thief who robbed the rich and gave to the poor, while Otto continued to support her and advise her.
And when the audience saw that Otto actually put on women's clothing in order to help Kallen distract the guards, they burst into laughter. Even Sirin couldn't stop laughing.
They really didn't expect that this guy Otto would actually dress up as a woman, but should I say it, this guy was really good-looking even when he was dressed up as a woman.
Sirin even secretly hoped that Otto would be beaten by those guards, but unfortunately the reality did not go as she wished.
Later, while Kallen continued to work as a phantom thief, she accidentally broke into the laboratory where Schicksal was researching the black box.
Kallen knew that the black box was a very dangerous existence. She wanted to sabotage the experiment, but was imprisoned. In the end, Otto released her.
In the subsequent experiments, Kallen continued to stop it, but accidentally discovered that Otto himself was conducting the human experiments in private.
Karen couldn't accept this, and Otto couldn't argue. At this point, the two people's paths forward were started diverging more and more.
When watching this plot, although everyone disliked Otto, it was also clear that Otto did nothing wrong in this matter.
Of course, Karen was not wrong either.
It's just that their ideas are different.
Kallen is an idealist through and through, while Otto is a realist.
Karen has her own bottom line and clear goals, and everything she does is ' right ' .
But in this world, or a honkai world, if you only do the ' right ' things, the results you get are not necessarily correct.
Kallen is a hero, and the world needs heroes, but heroes don't mean they can solve everything.
On the other hand, Otto's actions are based on results. He doesn't care what means he uses or how many people will be sacrificed in the process. He only wants results.
If it were in a peaceful world, his behavior would undoubtedly be an evil act, an ugly act that would be despised by countless people.
But in this collapsed world, his actions and methods can often accomplish things that are difficult for ' heroes ' to do.
Just like the Black Death.
In summary, people can accept Otto's behavior rationally, but they cannot agree with it emotionally, while Kallen is just the opposite.
If Kallen represents people's desire for a happy ending, then Otto is people's helpless compromise with the cruel reality.
[Alas, although I still hate Otto, I have to admit that in this matter, I think he did the right thing. Without human experiments, how could those infected with the Black Death survive? ]
[I can't accept it. If it was your relative or someone you knew well who was used for human experiments by Otto, would you still feel good about it? In the final analysis, you can feel that Otto did the right thing only because the people who were sacrificed have nothing to do with you. ]
[But if Otto had not conducted human experiments, how many people would have been killed by the Black Death? Can Kallen stop this? She can't! I admit that Kallen is a bright and majestic hero, but for those infected with the Black Death, what they need is not Kallen, the light that can lead them forward, but Otto, who can save them from the edge of painful death. Pull out the ' evil ' ! Just like Eleanor. ]
[But it is necessary to give up a small number of people for the sake of the majority of people. Is this really right? Death from natural disasters and death from man-made disasters are two different things. This was a good thing for those who were saved from the Black Death. But for those who died because of human experiments, who can remember their sacrifices? It even has to be concealed! ]
[ ..... ]
The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly became a quarrel. Those who supported Otto and those who supported Kallen were divided into two camps. They both felt that their views were right.
" Teacher Su Mu, do you think Otto is right or Kallen is right? "
" Then what do you think? "
" My words ... Although I cannot accept Otto's behavior, it is true that his experimental results cured people infected with the Black Death. In short, I feel quite complicated ..."
Sirin's expression was a little tangled.
Reason told her that what Otto did was right, but her sensibility could not accept this behavior, so she was very confused.
" Isn't this good? "
Su Mu smiled and said,
" There is nothing in this world that can be completely explained by right or wrong. And Otto, he is an extremely complex person. He has done unimaginable evil deeds and also done commendable good deeds. And the evaluation of a person's merits and demerits is never just black and white. "
" There are a thousand Ottos in the eyes of a thousand people. Your differences in views on Otto are just because of your different positions. "
" Well ... it feels so hard to understand. "
Sirin looked at Su Mu with complicated eyes,
" Teacher Su Mu, why did you create such a controversial villain like Otto? "
" Because this is human being. Everyone has two sides. If Otto is just a villain who does bad things, then he is too thin. "
Sirin continued the game.
Under Otto's cover, Kallen left Europe with the black box. She wanted to go to China to find the immortal for help, but she could not find any trace of the immortal.
So she could only go to the far east to find a place to completely seal this dangerous box.
But in a place called Yae Village, she met a miko named Yae Sakura. After a period of contact, both parties considered each other to be their close friends.
However, the consciousness in the black box eroded Yae Sakura, and she was resurrected in the human world through Yae Sakura's body, turning into the ferocious beast of purgatory, Hiigomaru.
With the oath of Judas sent by Otto, Kallen successfully sealed Heigomaru, but she was also captured by the people of Schicksal.
Destiny wanted to put Kallen to death, and Kallen also lost hope of life, but Otto did not want to see Kallen die. He tried his best and finally begged his father, Bishop of Schicksal.
Otto's father wanted to seize the power of the Kaslana family, so he told Otto that as long as he and Kallen could get married, he could keep Kallen.
This should have been a happy outcome for everyone, but Otto was not happy at all.
In prison, he asked Kallen to marry him, even if they were only superficially married, as long as he could save her life.
But at this time, Kallen was already determined to die. She felt desperate from this rotten Schicksal. She just wanted to use her own life to awaken the people's consciousness of resistance.
Otto could not accept Kallen's death, so on the day of Kallen's execution, he released the Honkai beasts imprisoned by Schicksal, hoping to rescue Kallen through chaos.
But Kallen gave him an angry slap, and then decided to help the people lure away the Honkai Beast. However, because her body was too weak, Kallen died at the hands of the Honkai Beast while protecting a little girl.
At this point, the chapter of Saint Kallen ends.
And at the end, the picture freezes on Otto's face full of pain, regret, despair, self-blame and many other emotions.
Seeing this ending, the viewers in the live broadcast room had very complicated emotions.
After all, Otto failed to save Kallen's life, and even killed Kallen because of his stupidity!
But is it his fault?
Maybe partly, but he tried his best.
After all, at this time, he was not the bishop of Schicksal, he was just an unpopular third son.
[Alas ... How should I put it? Although Otto is hateful, I can't find anything to hate about him at this time. ]
[I now understand why the old thief Su Mu said that Otto was a poor man who worked in vain at the beginning. He gave everything to save Kallen, but in the end Kallen died because of himself. Such a blow, if it is My words are absolutely unbearable. ]
[What a twist of fate. Kallen could have avoided death ... Her teacher had already prepared a way out for her, but Otto ... ]
[This can't be blamed on Otto, haven't you noticed? At this time, Otto was obviously panicking. He had lost the wisdom he was proud of and became impulsive. Otherwise, he would not have been bewitched by his sister and released the Honkaimon. ]
[Hey ... I can only say that not even Otto can remain calm in front of the one he loves. ]
