Honkai Impact 3rd: I Want to Be Reincarnate as a Beibeilong

Hearing Theresa's words, Otto shook his head, "Right and wrong cannot answer all the problems in this world."

"I always ask myself, was there another way to save his father at that time?"

"But no matter how I think, that day, I still chose to kill him."

"Maybe it's because I saw my past self in him... the self I wanted to end."

"Father..."

Theresa seemed to know what Otto wanted to say.

She wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Looking at Theresa who was hesitant to speak, Otto smiled.

Looking up at the ceiling, Otto's eyes were slightly absent-minded. "I have also been exposed to taboos and touched the power of sin."

"I have implicated... no, I have killed many innocent people."

"But the saint stopped me and rescued me from that abyss."

"She and I escaped from the organization together and sealed the source of sin in an unknown place."

"But we were both cursed, and she died two years later."

"When that person was dying, I asked her if she regretted making such a choice."

"And now, I will pass her answer to you."

Otto took a deep breath and said seriously: "A person will experience three growths in his life."

"The first time is to understand the right and wrong of things."

"The second time is to understand that some things are not just right and wrong."

"The third time is to understand that some things are not right or wrong, but still firmly do what you believe in and take responsibility for it."

Otto's eyes flickered.

Perhaps, he recalled something, something that time cannot erase.

His tone was calm, but there was a tremor, "I buried her in a foreign country and came here to build an orphanage."

"I understand Joachim's confusion, or rather, I was confused like this before."

"So, I respect his choice."

"Father..."

Theresa's voice was a little choked.

Otto put his hand on Theresa's head with difficulty and gently stroked it, "Children, I can't go back."

"I made too many mistakes, and all I can do is take responsibility for my past."

"But... Fortunately, there are you."

"Thank you for letting me find that I still have happy and warm memories when I look back on the past."

Theresa's tears finally couldn't help flowing down, "Father... You will be fine..."

Bella looked at the scene in front of her and sighed, "Joachim... Did you hear it?"

Bronya stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Joachim, who was covered in mud.

Joachim came to Otto's bed, holding a golden cross tightly in his hand, "Father, you lost this cross last night, so I found it back."

"You said you would give it to me."

Joachim held the cross tightly, like a child guarding his most important treasure, "I am still very confused now, and I don't know what to do in the future."

"It's just that there is something I want to say no matter what-"

"I am willing... I am willing to take this step, inherit this orphanage, and inherit your responsibilities!"

"So, please continue to be my family, don't let me go on the wrong path...!"

Joachim fell on the bed, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Theresa didn't say anything, just hugged him gently.

Otto put his hand on Joachim's head and rubbed it gently, "I believe you, Joachim, I believe you will find your own way."

...

Because Otto said he had something to talk to Bella alone, everyone except Bella left the room.

Looking at Otto whose eyes suddenly brightened on the bed, Bella knew that Otto's time was running out.

Otto looked at Bella, "Thank you for helping me untie Joachim's knot."

Looking at Otto in front of her, Bella seemed to think of something and sighed, "If only the Otto in my world was like you."

"Your world..." Otto pondered for a moment and looked at Bella, "I heard Yu Duchen talk about the bishop of destiny in your world."

"Although I am not him, no matter which world it is, Otto is Otto."

"So I know that everything Otto in your world does must be for a purpose."

Bella was a little confused when she heard Otto's words, "Purpose?"

Otto nodded, "Although I don't know what his purpose is, it is definitely not as simple as the purpose of resisting collapse that Yu Duchen got from your memory."

Purpose...Otto's words made Bella ponder.

In reality, Otto's various experiments.

Whether it is the Valkyrie or the one who wants to control the power of the Herrscher, it is all to fight against the Honkai beast... at least on the surface.

It is precisely because of this that people like Yulandel.

Although she knew all of Otto's actions, she still did not disobey Otto.

Because Yulandel knew that sacrifice was inevitable in order to fight the Honkai.

This is also the idea of ​​most of the Valkyries of Destiny.

But now...

Bella pondered.

Whether it is this world or the last world.

In fact, it is like the history of a certain point in time in reality has changed, and then another world has been extended.

It is said to be another world, but it is more like another timeline of the original world.

The time point when the last world changed was the second Honkai.

So what exactly changed in this world, making Otto in this world completely different from Otto in reality?

Bella remembered the past that Otto just talked about...

"Saint..." Bella murmured.

If Bella guessed correctly, the change happened here.

Did Otto in the real world also experience three growths as Otto in this world said before?

Is he now in the stage of "after understanding that some things are not right or wrong, he still firmly does what he believes in..."?

Otto looked at Bella, apologetically, "I'm sorry, you helped me, but I can't help you."

Looking at Otto whose voice gradually weakened and eyes began to dim.

Bella knew that Otto didn't have much time left.

After thinking for a while, Bella looked at Otto, "In that case, tell me the name of your [Saint]."

"Name..." Bella's words seemed to remind Otto of something, and a gentle smile appeared on Otto's face, "Her name is-Karen Kaslana."

Karen Kaslana... From the Kaslana family.

And.

Karen...

Bella felt as if she had heard this name somewhere before.

On the hospital bed, Otto's eyes gradually became blurred.

But when Otto's hand touched something, the light in his eyes seemed to brighten.

It was a golden pendant hanging around his neck.

It was a... Kaslana family crest.

Otto murmured: "I have fought the good fight... I have finished the race..."

"You thought... I kept it..."

A teardrop fell on the wooden floor, and then turned into white light, immersing the whole world.
