[This Otto guy is truly a scourge. He's almost dead, and yet he can still make me feel this awful!]
[I can't forgive what you once did to Kiana and the others, but at this moment, I sincerely hope you can fulfill your wish.]
[Laugh at the meme, not the man, Otto, a true man.]
[Go for it, Otto!]

[In the Video]
As Otto's monologue fell, the scene began to shift.
Under the influence of the eclipse, the sky appeared dim and chaotic.
A raven stood on a withered branch, its pupils reflecting the figure of Kallen in ceremonial dress being escorted to the execution ground.
The surrounding people were expressionless, or watching with cold curiosity, gazing at the saintess about to face death.
Facing the coming end of life, Kallen's eyes were calm, with a hint of resolve.
"When a person truly wants to change the world, they will realize how small individual strength is. The saintess gave so much for the people, only to receive merciless shackles and a noose in return."
Next, the screen shifted to Otto's side again.
Dragging his battered body, he walked step by step toward the Imaginary Tree.
"This world is so chaotic. It is neither fair nor reasonable."
"It persecutes heroes, nurtures villains. Ugliness spreads, and beauty no longer exists."
As he approached, countless imaginary monsters resembling Otto crawled from the red sand, viciously lunging at him.
Facing the oncoming swarm of imaginary constructs, Otto raised the corners of his lips and summoned the imitation Heavenly Fire greatsword.
"Heh, let the world's malice be severed by the hands of a villain."
With that, Otto raised the sword and swung it, eyes firmly fixed on the Imaginary Tree not far away.
Whether it was because of Otto's impending death or the romantic lens of pure love,
———
At this moment, Otto's charm skyrocketed in people's eyes.
[Brothers, I must be sick, I'm actually feeling nervous for this Otto guy?]
[You're not alone.]
[Otto… can he win?
]
[He will win!]
[Heavenly Fire greatsword with the pure-love war god, this one's in the bag!]
———
[Back to the Video]
Then, the scene shifted again to Kallen.
Under the eyes of the crowd, the noose was fastened around her neck.
Yet, in the face of imminent death, Kallen's face showed no fear or sorrow. Only helplessness and a sense of release remained.
To Kallen, death was not an end, but the beginning of resistance.
She hoped to awaken the numb people through this method, but everyone knew in the end, it was merely her wishful thinking.
"This was the distance between her and tomorrow. This was the world's merciless backlash against her."
"But her followers will never give up because of this!"
The scene changed again.
Otto, already wielding the Heavenly Fire greatsword, launched an all-out charge against countless imaginary constructs.
The blazing greatsword burned with roaring flames, symbolizing Otto's burning longing for Kallen over five hundred years.
As the battle intensified, Black Abyss White Flower and Xuanyuan Sword both became stepping stones for Otto's advance.
However, the cost was that his body was gradually being corroded by Honkai energy.
Watching Otto slaughter everything in the inner world, people finally understood how much strength he had hidden in the previous battle.
When Otto regained his senses, he realized that few enemies remained around him.
But soon, his attention was drawn by a massive monster emerging in the distance.
Its gigantic body and overwhelmingly oppressive roar made one instinctively retreat.
Yet Otto still resolutely walked toward it. Because he knew his goal was within reach.
At the same time, something strange happened on Kallen's side.
Countless Honkai beasts invaded her execution site and began wantonly slaughtering the citizens.
Seeing the terrified faces and hearing the panicked cries for help…
Kallen easily broke free from her shackles and the noose, and without hesitation jumped from the execution platform.
Even though these people had come here to witness her death, Kallen still saved them.
The screen returned to Otto.
He and the Honkai beast, symbolizing the fact of Kallen's death, engaged in their fiercest clash yet.
The massive Honkai beast roared and swung its claws, trying to crush this blasphemous man.
But Otto skillfully dodged the beast's attacks and found an opening to smash the beast's head with Judah's Oath.
Then, Judah's Oath instantly burst into dazzling golden light, just like its former wielder, Kallen.
The golden light enveloped the massive Honkai beast.
Finally, with a roar, it collapsed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Although Otto secured victory, he also exhausted a great deal of strength and energy.
He struggled to climb up from the ground, gazing at the Imaginary Tree just within reach, eyes filled with urgency.
This time, he was no longer the crafty and resourceful Archbishop of Schicksal,
But a man who couldn't wait to save the one he loved.
At that moment, the BGM of the video suddenly paused, and then the track from the trailer titled "IRAS 17514" suddenly began to play.
[♪The stars are distant as always]
(The stars are distant as always)
[♪Still shining with the light of their grand deaths in vacant space]
(Still shining with the light of their grand deaths in vacant space)
———
The moment the BGM began, the viewers, already emotionally shaken, completely lost it.
[Damn! This BGM came at the perfect time!]
[You can always trust miHoYo's sound team.]
[Sobs… please someone smash miHoYo's audio department already!]
[Even though I've heard it before, watching it with the visuals now hits differently.]
———
[Back to the Video]
The next scene constantly switched between Otto and Kallen.
Though time was different, and space was different, for some reason, their worlds seemed to overlap at that moment.
But just then, an unexpected change occurred.
Just as Otto was about to touch the Imaginary Tree, a sharp spike suddenly pierced through his chest.
At the same time, Kallen, just as in history, was pierced by the claw of a Honkai beast as she tried to save the people.
[♪Let it penetrate the darkness when a beast roars a final wail]
(Let this light penetrate the darkness when a beast roars a final wail)
[♪Let it penetrate my heart so I can share your pain]
(Let this light penetrate my heart so I can share your pain)
Amid the solemn music, the fates of the two stirred deep emotion in the viewers.
Was it going to end in failure like this?
Was history truly unchangeable?
