Honkai III, Play Meteor at the Beginning Chapter 407
"...Huh? O, Otto, this joke is not funny at all..."
Karen's fists were clenched instantly, and the emotion in her eyes seemed to turn into a boundless sea, wrapping Otto in it, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"..."
Otto didn't speak any more, his attitude already explained everything.
Karen's eyes were full of disbelief. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her. She thought she knew him well, but she forgot that it was not five hundred years ago.
During this period of time, it was just equivalent to sleeping for her.
But for Otto, he has really experienced five hundred years.
He has changed, he is no longer the person in his memory.
"…why?"
Karen looked at Otto blankly, she needed an answer.
"Because they didn't meet my requirements."
Otto said calmly,
"I created them just to revive you, but then I discovered that no matter how many clones of you I created, they are not you, you are unique."
"...Just because of this reason? You killed them?"
"That's right."
"why?"
Caroline asked a second time.
She didn't understand why Otto could speak so calmly, so... without any burden.
That's a human, not a Houkai beast!
Thousands of lives, does he really not care at all?
"Because it costs very little to make them, you can produce a lot of them in batches with just one finger and a tap..."
"Otto!!!"
Karen's voice was trembling, she stood up abruptly, her blue eyes were full of anger.
Her fists were clenched even more, the hard nails pierced the skin, and the blood flowed out instantly, but she didn't care.
"Karen, in the past five hundred years, I have indeed done many things that are unforgivable in your opinion, and I have never regretted it."
Otto said word by word,
"This is me now, the current Archbishop of Destiny, and the current... Otto Apocalypse."
"...Otto, bite the bullet!"
Karen took a step forward, and the flame of anger almost turned into substance and condensed on her right fist.
Amber subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Otto, but was stopped by Otto's eyes.
Then, that punch that contained anger and grief fell hard on his soul steel face.
Otto flew upside down, flying three or four meters away, and finally landed on the ground, rolling a few times.
"You... what have you done!!!"
Karenna's painful roar echoed throughout the laboratory.
She stepped out a few steps, came to Otto again, grabbed his collar, and lifted Otto up from the ground,
"Do you know what you are doing?! What is human life in your eyes?! Is it just a number?!"
"Create them at will, and kill them at will! Do you regard yourself as a god?!!!"
"Otto Apocalypse! Answer me!!!"
Kallen's roar was deafening, almost tearing Otto's soul apart.
This didn't surprise him.
If Kallen hadn't done that, she wouldn't be Kallen.
Otto coughed a few times, then raised his head with difficulty - he saw the pain and sadness in the eyes of the white-haired girl, and... the clear tear that could reflect his appearance.
Karen Kaslana.
This girl who showed her strength at all times, even in prison, in the execution ground, and even in the most desperate times, never shed a single tear.
At this time, he cried like a child.
She can accept all the despair and pain that happened to her, but what Otto has done, she cannot accept.
She couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was - girls similar to her were made like dolls, they had just given birth to life, came to this world, and hadn't had time to enjoy the beauty of the world, they were like Inferior products are generally destroyed...
Karen felt as if her heart was being grabbed by someone, and a piercing pain spread all over her body, making her almost unable to breathe!
Chapter 512: A heavy blow to Kallen 4K
The technology of those clones is not complete, their lifespan is extremely short, even if he does nothing, they will bloom like fireworks and pass away quickly——
In this case, Otto did not say it.
Because it doesn't make sense.
A hero, no matter how high-sounding reasons he uses to whitewash his actions, he can't conceal the results of the blossoming of the flower of evil.
That's not why he let those clones kill each other.
"Answer me! Otto!"
Seeing that Otto was silent, Karen called out again, her voice was full of sadness,
"Don't let me down on you!"
"...Karen, five hundred years can change a lot of people."
Otto closed his eyes calmly,
"From the time you died, I have understood that nothing can be changed by tenderness and kindness."
"In order to achieve the goal, I can do whatever it takes. I just want the result I want, and that's enough."
"..."
Karen stared blankly at the familiar face in front of her, obviously he was still the same as in her memory, but why... the current him made me feel so strange?
"Otto, you were not like this..."
Karen let go of her hands weakly, lowering her eyelids.
She knew, knew a long time ago that she and Otto had already embarked on two completely different paths.
In fact, she knew all about Otto's secret behavior.
But she never blamed Otto, because she knew that Otto was using his own method to save the world.
Although she couldn't accept that method, it was still a method.
And she also believed that Otto himself would be under enormous pressure to do such a thing.
But now?
She didn't see even a trace of remorse in Otto's eyes, as if the thousands of lives, in his eyes, were like a thousand little white mice, indifferent and ruthless.
This was not the Otto she knew.
The Otto she knew was a man who was smart, strong, and still warm in his heart.
Being in the dark and looking to the light is the best interpretation of him.
But now everything is different.
Karen Kaslana once again realized what it means to have died for more than five hundred years.
"Master Karen..."
Looking at the silent atmosphere in the field, Amber opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
She had no position to persuade anything.
This is between Karen and Otto.
It is true that all that Otto did was to revive Kallen.
But, can Kallen accept all this?
Can she accept that her resurrection is on top of the bones and sins of countless people?
It's not a good thing to say.
Karen was ready to die five hundred years ago, until the end, she also died to protect the people, and she died without complaint or regret.
But because Otto wanted to revive her, he committed all kinds of evil deeds during the five hundred years.
He didn't ask Karen's opinion, and he still did it even though he knew he was doing what Karen hated the most.
To put it more bluntly, he is called infatuation, persistent, and desperate for love.
To put it bluntly, it was pure madness.
Rather than saying that he was doing it for Kallen, it would be better to say it was for himself.
For the guilt towards Kallen in my heart, for Kallen's dream, and for the little girl deep in my heart who told me to save the world when I was a child.
"Otto... You said that you created them to find a way to revive me, right?"
Caroline's voice suddenly became very soft.
Otto's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
Sure enough, it still came.
He was not afraid that Kallen would blame him, scold him, or even run away from him.
What he is most afraid of is that Karen will carry this sin that belongs to him on his own body.
He knew Kallen's character too well. She was a person who was used to taking all the suffering and responsibility on her shoulders, and this seemed to be a common problem of everyone in the Kaslana family.
Because I did these things because I really wanted to resurrect her.
Otto knew a long time ago that if he could really revive Kallen one day, her reaction would definitely be like this, but he couldn't change it.
Even if he is seen by others as the archbishop of destiny, there seems to be nothing in the world that he cannot do.
But only facing Kallen, his eloquence in the past, those convincing eloquence, and the means to change people's hearts... none of them can be used.
In front of others, he is the archbishop of destiny.
But in front of Kallen, he is just Otto Apocalypse.
So in the face of Karen's questioning, Otto chose to remain silent.
And silence is sometimes the best answer.
Karen took a deep breath, her blue eyes like the sky were full of confusion and hesitation.
She suddenly didn't know how to face Otto.
Should she hate what Otto did?
Of course it should.
But all of what he did was to revive himself, so if he really wanted to talk about responsibility, it was undoubtedly his own problem.
If it wasn't for her, Otto...wouldn't have become the stranger he is now.
So what is she... going to do now?
What should she do so that those who died because of Otto and herself can rest in peace?
Caroline doesn't know yet.
