Chapter 343: Chapter 344​ Elysia finally breaks through the defense



Kallen knew that Otto at this moment was experiencing the happiest and most relieved moment since five hundred years ago.

After deceiving the whole world, he finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish, but the price was his eternal disappearance...

Kallen couldn't accept this ending, even though she knew this was what Otto wanted most.

Pain! It hurts so much!

Otto! Why you? Why are you so stupid?

"Is it finally the last moment? I didn't expect that 'I' would talk a lot when I was about to die."

Otto looked at himself in the game with great interest. At this moment, he was also sincerely happy for 'himself.'

"...Are you really playing the same game?"

Looking at Kallen with tears on one side and Otto with smiles on the other, Himeko couldn't help but feel a little funny.

But she could also understand that, let alone Kallen, even she, the person who was 'killed' by Otto, could not bear any ill will towards Otto at this time.

Looking at his stumbling steps and his weak and vicissitudes of voice, it really made people very sad. It felt like an old friend and old rival who had been known for a long time was about to leave forever.

Otto is a bad guy. Otto is a good guy.

He is a selfish person. He is a selfless person.

Various contradictory factors are vividly reflected in him, and it is the combination of so many various labels that constitutes Otto in everyone's impression.

The main reason why Otto can make countless players empathize and be moved is because of his selfless dedication to Kallen.

In a fictional story, a character who is willing to sacrifice everything for another person is always easy to win the favor of the audience because no one will hate such an 'idiot.'

"Grandpa, he can finally relax..."

Theresa took a deep breath and suppressed the rising and falling emotions in her chest. Even though her eyes were a little red, she didn't want to cry like Kallen.

After all, Otto himself is still sitting next to her. It would feel weird if she were here to mourn Otto in the game...

As for Elysia and Sirin, who were originally elated because they defeated Otto, they also fell silent at this moment.

Even though they told themselves over and over in their hearts that Otto was a soulless person, just like opening champagne, they still couldn't help but be affected by Otto's voice and fall into a sad atmosphere.

So it is not without reason that voice is the soul of a character.

If it weren't for Teacher Zhao Lu's 200% performance, he wouldn't be able to fully present the feeling of Otto before his death to the players.

[ "The choice between life and death will form two worlds from now on, and the price is only one person's death, one person's destruction... and the destruction of us and the land of death." ]

Otto was still moving forward. He took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh. This sigh seemed to contain all the regrets and bitterness he had experienced in the past five hundred years.

[ "It's a pity that when he realized this truth, he was already completely hated by the power he needed most." ]

[ "But it doesn't matter, she did prove that anger out of love has the same power as love." ]

Otto's voice was filled with self-mockery, and the players in front of the screen certainly knew who he was referring to.

The girl who had been manipulated by him all her life, K423.

He might have had a gentler way to achieve his goal, but he had no choice because he only believed in himself.

After going around in circles, he finally achieved his goal with the help of the bruised girl who was injured by him.

He apologized to that girl, and he apologized to many people he had hurt, but he knew that they did not need his apology, and his death was the best consolation for them.

[ "Theresa, my dear granddaughter, you are growing into a great leader... given time, you will eventually let people forget your grandfather, and let his right and wrong, his merits and demerits, be annihilated in history and disappear in conversation." ]

In these last moments, Otto would certainly not forget his beloved granddaughter.

Although he dedicated everything to Kallen, Theresa was still the most special existence in his heart besides Kallen.

This man who could hurt everyone in order to resurrect Kallen had never hurt Theresa.

Theresa was the only trace of warmth he had left in this world.

[ "Just... eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon occasionally. You always stay up late, and your body should be supplemented with more diverse nutrients." ]

[ "You know... for tomorrow's coronation ceremony, Grandpa sewed the archbishop's scapular for you with his own hands... If you don't mind it, use it to start your own era and wash away those things that Grandpa once left behind. It's the stains on it." ]

[ "Theresa... my old friends, Immortal Red Kite, Herrscher of Reason... they are truly good people and will definitely help you find your own path." ]

"Um... This, this is a foul... Why do you suddenly say such things... How can I bear it!"

Theresa couldn't stand it anymore when she heard Otto say, "Just... occasionally eat some fruits and vegetables other than bitter melon." Tears instantly fell from her eyes mid-slip.

This elder's concern for her at the end of his life was absolutely one thousand percent sincere. It was precisely because of this concern that Theresa completely broke through her defenses.

Because Otto in reality once said similar words to her, but she didn't pay attention at the time.

She also didn't expect that the unforgivable grandfather in the game would actually be thinking about her at the end of his life. He even cared about her body and even sewed a shoulder jacket for her...

"Ugh... Otto, this idiot, obviously has someone he cares about in the world, why do you have to find me, a person who died five hundred years ago!"

Kallen cried with snot and tears. If she could, she really wanted to get into the game and punch that idiot Otto awake.

But she also knew very well that Otto had to die.

Unless he dies, the sins he owes Kiana and the others will never be repaid.

What made her sad was that Otto had given everything for her, but she could not give him anything and could only watch him die.

"Because, no matter what time, you are everything to me."

Otto took out a tissue and gently wiped the tears on Kallen's face.

Even though there were still people he cared about in the world, this did not stop him from looking for Kallen.

Because he was such a 'selfish' person.

"Sigh... maybe this is what is said when a person is about to die, his words are kind."

Himeko said quietly.

She discovered why she suddenly felt that Otto was not so annoying because he was going to die soon, and there was nothing to care about a dead person.

On the other side, in Elysia's live broadcast room, when everyone saw the frail Otto at the end of his life, they all felt very complicated looking back on his life and his care for Theresa.

Reason told them that they should not sympathize with this man. He was a devil and a villain who had destroyed the happiness of many people.

But their sensibility told them that Otto was almost dead. A person who was about to die, no matter how much sin and hatred he had carried, would end today, and his story had come to an end.

"Sigh... Although I don't want to sympathize with him, at this point, I actually think he is really powerful. He can do this for a woman who has been dead for five hundred years. I don't know what to say about him," Pardofelis sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Yeah, who wouldn't be like that? I hope that the people I love can live forever, but people will die eventually, and when they die, there will be nothing. The most amazing thing about Otto is that he really did it for countless people's dreams," Eden said.

"Otto, why did he start to become sentimental when he was about to die... You are still thinking about Theresa at this time... You should say these words to her yourself," Elysia bit her lip, her eyes a little red as she tried to control her emotions.

She really didn't expect that one day she would feel sad and melancholy for Otto because of his final farewell.

But she must not cry or let Su Mu see the joke!

Even so, she could still bear it!

"Lord Otto does not need sympathy. He has achieved his long-cherished wish, so why should he be pitied?" Rita shook her head and said.

[Damn... If you want to die, then die well, don't make me cry!]

[I'm really numb. I never dreamed in my life that I would cry because of Otto's death... I was obviously very happy when I saw him being killed by Kiana...]

[I can only say that the old thief's writing is so invincible. Coupled with the music and voice acting, the atmosphere is so perfect that it really makes people want to cry. In fact, Otto is really pitiful.]

[Alas... Why can't you tell Theresa these words in person? Let her know that she has a grandfather who loves her very much!]

[I feel so uncomfortable... This time I really have to give the old thief a big like...]

Countless viewers in the live broadcast room also broke through their defenses at this moment as Otto missed Theresa. The emotions contained in every sentence were sincere and heartbreaking.

Otto had worn a mask all his life, but now he took it off and revealed his truest self.

["Bianca... my last student... I have manipulated your life and planned your Schicksal. While I showed you my sincere love for cultivation, I also treated you as a pawn to achieve what I wanted."]

["You know... Everything I have shown you in the last ten years was so that after such desolation, someone could set up a wordless monument for me."]

Otto murmured Bianca's name, the name of his sister who had died in battle. He had given this name to Durandal as his expectation and recognition of her.

He took a deep breath, and there was a hint of crying in his tone, but he failed to cry. Or perhaps, he had already forgotten how to express his emotions by crying.

["I don't need anyone to judge me. After all, these long and short five hundred years are just all that a man can do for his own wishful thinking."]

["He has now reached the end of his journey—what he wants to accomplish, what he wants to witness, what he wants to redeem... they have all taken root and sprouted in the tree of imaginary numbers, just waiting for the final message to be delivered before everything ends."]

["...The world will turn for just one person at that moment, despicability will be taken to the grave by me, and the light will reach into the future because of you."]

Otto's steps became slower and slower, but his resolve grew firmer step by step, as though nothing could stop him from taking this final step.

Five hundred years of memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. They were his regrets, his sins, his tragedies, his elegy... until the end, the memory in his mind stayed on that familiar face—the smiling face leaning against the wall.

["... I fooled my friends, I fooled my relatives, I fooled the world and its rules... just to give the only real you a second life."]

["I'm back... Kallen."]

As Otto's journey came to an end, the screen fixed on his back at that moment. Then the screen dimmed, and two lines of text appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

[How many evil deeds must a person commit to bring her back to dawn at the end of hell.]

[How far does a person have to go to find his original self at the end of time?]

The players in the live broadcast room were already in tears. They even forgot to send comments; they just stared blankly at the last two sentences that described Otto's life.

These two simple sentences encapsulated Otto's entire existence.

And Elysia, who had promised not to cry, finally couldn't hold back and started crying with a loud "Wow."

Seeing Elysia, Pardofelis, and others all crying, Su Mu finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hey, now I finally feel good!"

"The power of the crew is being continuously replenished!"

"Ellie, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Didn't we agree not to cry? I still liked your unruly look from before~~"

Su Mu was unforgiving, poking Elysia's cheek in a mean manner and teasing her with a smile.

Su Mu truly enjoyed kicking someone when they were down, especially when the other person was Elysia.

You have to bully this fat pink woman hard!

"Ugh... Bad Su Mu! It's all your fault. Why did you write Otto so harshly? You just wanted to bully me, right?"

Elysia stared at him with big, tearful eyes, sobbing as she shouted. Finally, she became so angry that she pushed her head into Su Mu's arms and wiped her tears and nose on his clothes.

After all, she didn't bring any tissues, and since it was Su Mu who made her cry, she decided to ruin Su Mu's clothes in return!

This was Elysia's final act of defiance!
