[March 7th: What?! Otto turned into a ghost???]
[Hu Tao: Where? Where's the ghost??]
[Kiana: Th-this… isn't this the class monitor's move??]
[Fu Hua: That's called Fenghuang Down…]
[Raiden Mei: Could it be that Otto used an imitation Fenghuang Down?!]
[Einstein: It doesn't seem so. Rather, at that instant, the Herrscher of the Void's authority reversed the Imaginary Tree's infinite supply.]
[Einstein: In other words, Otto is already within Imaginary space.]
[Theresa: Grandpa… isn't dead?]
[Tesla: I knew it—this guy wouldn't be so easy to wipe out.]
[Tesla: Hmph, but smashing that madman's plan so thoroughly is already amazing, Kiana!]
[Durandal: The Archbishop… is actually congratulating us?!]
[March 7th: Wait… I didn't mishear that, did I???]
[Furina: Could it be that Otto was actually hoping to be defeated by Durandal and the others??]
[Tesla: Just what kind of medicine is this guy selling in that gourd of his?!]
The chat erupted in confusion.
On the screen,
Durandal spoke up directly.
"…Archbishop, we stopped the insane plan you spoke of. Now, it's time for you to tell us your true purpose, isn't it?"
As Durandal's words fell—
An uproar broke out among those watching.
So it was true.
Otto really did have a deeper, hidden purpose?!
Durandal had sensed it long ago!
Facing Otto's words, laden with deeper meaning,
she chose not to mince words at all—
And directly demanded to know Otto's true objective.
From the unseen air,
Otto seemed to let out a soft chuckle.
"Ha… you really are remarkably persistent, Bianka."
"What—at this point, are you still unwilling to regard me as an enemy?"
Otto asked with a smile.
Durandal, however, was incomparably calm.
"What you did to me—I cannot forgive."
"But the way you cultivated and guided me, I will not forget either."
"And even now, I still believe—"
Durandal paused.
Her gaze seemed to look into Otto's eyes,
yet in truth pierced through the void itself,
Looking straight past the screen,
toward every single person watching.
"Deep down, you still believe—in some form—in the things you taught us to believe in."
[Tesla: Don't be foolish, Bianka! A guy like Otto has nothing in his heart but despicableness!!]
[Tesla: No—except for Kallen. On that point, I must speak up for the Saintess of old.]
[Tesla: Otto's heart doesn't deserve to keep remembering Kallen!]
[Honkai · Himeko: Exactly! Otto has clearly done so many terrible things…]
[Raiden Mei: Why are you still willing to believe in him, Durandal…]
[Hu Tao: After everything Otto did to hurt you so deeply!]
[Furina: Could it be that, just as Durandal said, Otto really does have another, hidden purpose??]
[March 7th: Even if he does… it probably wouldn't be anything good for this world…]
[Sushang: B-but… I also feel that even someone who deceives everyone will still have moments of genuine emotion.]
[Sushang: Durandal should truly be able to tell whether Otto was sincere or merely perfunctory when he taught them…]
[Ningguang: Miss Sushang does have a point…]
[Ningguang: Given Durandal's character, she should be able to distinguish right from wrong.]
[Herta: More importantly, this kind of character Durandal possesses—was shaped under Otto's cultivation.]
[Durandal: Indeed.]
[Durandal: I have never denied the Archbishop's guidance and training.]
[Durandal: And what my future self said… is not without reason.]
[Otto: How touching, Bianka—such fervent and precious trust!]
[Durandal: …]
[Rita: Archbishop… perhaps it would be better not to speak right now…]
In the chat,
Durandal's insistence immediately sparked heated discussion.
Those who despised Otto to the core naturally refuted her stance.
Yet… when people set aside their prejudice and anger toward Otto,
and truly thought about it—
The kind of unwavering resolve, composure, and clarity Durandal displayed
did not seem like something that could be born of blind deception.
The Durandal on screen…
Might she truly be able to perceive some part of Otto's essence?
And just as that possibility—
the one that could explain all the strange inconsistencies—
rose once again in everyone's hearts—
On the screen—
"Heh, you stubborn child."
Otto laughed helplessly,
as though genuinely moved by Durandal's persistence and trust.
"Honestly speaking, from the very beginning today, I hoped that all of you would stand against me—treating me as a truly unforgivable villain."
"Although the former indeed succeeded, the latter, as expected, failed."
"Ah… should I feel regretful, or relieved?"
In an instant—
Otto's words struck everyone's hearts like a bolt of thunder!
Otto had admitted it.
Everything he had done today—
Had been a deliberate attempt to guide everyone
into standing on the opposite side from him!
