"Even so, he's still a patient..."

Karen giggled, "My dad always said that getting plenty of sunshine and playing around will help you grow tall and healthy!"

"Moreover, he is different from the other children in the neighborhood; he will definitely become a great inventor in the future!"

"Well... Great Inventor, I have a request. Are you willing to agree to it?"

Otto: "? A request...?"

"Yes! When we grow up... come and save the world with me!"

……

The scene from the memory vanished, and a voice remarkably similar to Otto's rang out.

"It's rare to see you reminiscing about your childhood. Are you feeling resentful about your inevitable death?"

Immediately afterwards, Otto's laughter slowly drifted over.

"Haha, you're really joking, aren't you? The Void Treasury..."

"Didn't I just say that to Theresa and the others?"

"I willingly choose to die, and I die willingly. This is nothing more than a final, belated celebration, five hundred years too late."

Immediately afterwards, Otto's original artwork appeared, and next to him, there was a... golden cube floating around.

Void Treasury: "In my opinion, you're just using this method to cover up your tension and fear."

“Perhaps…” Otto sighed. “I do get nervous and scared sometimes…”

"After all, my life has been long enough; seeing the finish line will naturally make me feel excited~"

"Don't you have any more expectations?" asked Void Treasury.

“Why not? If it’s just wishful thinking…” Otto scoffed.

"But you must also understand that what is truly impossible is something that was destined to be impossible from the very beginning..."

"If you're interested in this... then why not accompany me on a journey through the depths of memory, old friend?"

"It should still be possible before we are destined to clash with others."

Then, Otto's flashback scenes unfold.

In the flashback, players also saw the innocent and somewhat naive Otto from back then.

And that righteous and vengeful Kallen Kaslana.

Before the Mandate of Heaven's Eastern Expedition, Karen had doubts about the legitimacy of this "Eastern Expedition."

At that time, Karen's focus had already shifted to the general public.

Otto's gaze, however, remained fixed on Karen.

Many times, Karen sought emotional support from Otto, but Otto never understood what Karen meant.

Looking back now, Otto realizes how foolish he was.

And the way Kallen and Otto interacted back then... was quite interesting.

Although Karen is Otto's nominal fiancée, in many ways, Karen acts more like the fiancé...

But the timid and submissive Otto is the real fiancée...

"I was so ridiculous back then..."

Otto sighed and made a self-deprecating remark.

"Always thinking that those self-righteous acts of 'gentleness and thoughtfulness' can solve all problems..."

Void Treasury: "If you have to blame someone, you should blame yourself back then for not understanding her heroic complex at all."

Otto: "Yeah... when she says 'save the world,' she's really not joking, and she never wavers on that point."

"Save the world..."

Otto continued reminiscing.

He made no attempt to conceal the vastness of the void.

In a sense, Otto was indeed very strong-willed.

He actually dared to bring others along and confront his own dark past...

After watching it, you can let others judge you.

Until you see the final memory—

Otto was misled by his sister and released the imprisoned Honkai Beasts, which indirectly led to Kallen's death.

"..."

Otto fell silent; his heart died completely at that moment.

After watching this flashback, Void Treasury couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you know what Otto is like...?"

Sometimes I'm really jealous of your sister.

"I meticulously set so many traps for you, big and small, but you never fell into them."

"But what about your sister... all she did was hand you a shovel, and you dug your own grave?"

"They say human emotions can make people lose their minds, but what you've done is indeed a bit unbelievable."

Otto: "...Heh"

"Try to put yourself in their shoes, Void Treasury..."

"At that time, besides closing my eyes and believing her... what other choice did I have?"

"Or, if you were willing to let me use the full power of the Divine Key at that time—in order to save her, I think you would agree to any other conditions on the spot, right?"

"Tsk..." Void Treasury sneered, "So it's all my fault?"

"Is this the real reason you've bound me for over five hundred years?"

"...Who knows? Anyway, neither of us can take a back turn, can we?"

……

Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but feel a little disappointed...

It's both a pity about the death of that destined saintess, and a pity that fate turned the simple-minded and naive Otto into this state...

Wait... Kallen's death is indeed a pity, but Otto is still a scoundrel!

……

Although he already knew that Otto did those evil things to save Karen.

But seeing Karen in person gave me a different feeling.

Before the Otto and Kallen storylines were revealed, Kallen's image in the minds of players was only one thing—"just a woman."

Therefore, players felt that Otto had done so many evil things to save a woman, which showed a rather narrow-minded perspective.

Using only the word "deep affection" to explain it seems a bit ridiculous and cliché.

However, players didn't pay much attention at the time, since the "deeply affectionate" character trope is a common trope in many novels and TV shows.

Although it's a bit cliché, it's still barely acceptable.

It wasn't until players watched this flashback that they could barely understand Otto's feelings.

Given Otto's childhood experiences, Kallen's appearance cannot be described as merely a "ray of light."

It's likely that from the moment Otto met Karen, his entire childhood and adulthood were inseparable from her.

And now the players finally understand what Otto, from "500 years ago," meant...

Otto had long regarded Kallen as his faith.

This is not as simple as "deep affection" or "love".

Even if Kallen were a man, Otto would probably still treat her like a god...

Similarly, after watching this short flashback, Kallen's character design quickly won over the players.

In the "Destiny" 3.5, which had been completely corrupted by power, Kallen still retained her innocence and her hatred of evil.

She truly deserves the title of "Saintess".

Moreover, Karen's overflowing boyfriend-like charm when she's with Otto is also very endearing.

The only thing that's worth complaining about is that Karen's appearance and voice are too similar to Chongchong's.

It's basically just a model with a different outfit...

It's just that they act more maturely.

The comments section also became very lively at this time.

[It's confirmed! Otto is really going to his death!!]

[Just a quick rant... the official visuals for the Void Treasury are rather rough...]

[Haha... It is a bit rough, but it's just a Divine Key after all, so it's normal for it to be square~]
