Inside Schicksal Headquarters.
"Archbishop, we've found it."
As a Valkyrie stepped into the room,
an ancient, exquisitely crafted wooden box was placed upon Otto's desk.
"Good. Thank you for your hard work."
Otto nodded calmly,
raising his hand to gently stroke the surface of the wooden box.
Yet Amber, standing to the side, imdiately noticed sothing—
Otto's fingers… were trembling slightly.
For decades.
Amber had never seen Otto lose composure like this.
Not when facing death.
Not when confronted with unexpected variables or plans gone awry.
Otto's soulium body had always been like his erald eyes—
calm as still water.
And yet now—
It was clear that Archbishop Otto had not fully recovered
from the emotions stirred by what he had just witnessed on the screen.
Amber could not truly empathize with human emotions.
But even so, in that mont just now—
She had sincerely felt happy for Archbishop Otto.
And as she looked at the wooden box,
an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up within her.
The next second—
Amber realized what it was.
This was—
Kallen's relic.
The very sa relic shown earlier on the screen,
the one discovered by Theresa and Kallen
in that small town of Kolosten.
After learning of this,
Archbishop Otto had indeed ordered it retrieved.
At that mont.
The command room fell utterly silent.
Amber maintained her usual composure,
long accustod to Otto's silence.
After a long while—
The Archbishop of Schicksal propped his chin with one hand
and let out a soft chuckle.
Such an ending…
Was it not the fulfillnt he had long dread of?
At the sa ti!
After a brief stillness—
The chat group exploded.

As the flood of ssages continued—
On the screen,
Otto's final evaluation and epilogue slowly appeared.
[Character: Otto Apocalypse]
[Identity: Archbishop of Schicksal; bloodline of the Apocalypse and Schariac families; wielder of the First Divine Key, Void Archives; genius scientist]
[Personality Traits]
Born the youngest son of his family, without inheritance rights; frail since childhood and neglected, Otto gradually beca cold as he imrsed himself in Honkai research.
As a noble, most of his social interactions were masks—only his feelings for Kallen were sincere. After her death, this sincerity twisted into extremism.
Arrogant and self-assured, believing all things to be under his control; anything beyond his grasp must be destroyed.
Cold-blooded and ruthless, willing to pay any price to revive Kallen. Fully aware of his sins, yet unmoved by them.
A genius—clever, cold, stubborn, utterly pragmatic—who pursued his goals by any ans necessary while always calculating maximum benefit.

[Character Epilogue]
The life of a small man.
The life of a madman.
The life of a sage.
The life of a fool.
All because of one title—Great Inventor;
one pure, untainted smile;
and one promise:
"When we grow up, let's beco heroes who protect the world together."
Five hundred years of solitude.
Five hundred years of sches and gambits.
For a dream so small—
perhaps never to be understood or accepted—
He rose from a disregarded child
to the pinnacle of power,
crossing continents from west to east.
He witnessed countless tragedies, committed countless sins.
To him, life beca expendable.
To reach his goal, he destroyed, trampled, and defiled beauty and happiness alike.
"What a terrifying devil."
At the end of his life, all condemnation fell upon him.
But a fool does not care.
He only wished to reshape this ugly ending
into the one he desired.
People once questioned whether he still possessed humanity or love.
Could a block of ice frozen for a century
still burn with fire within?
"Kallen."
This na alone forced the coldest of n
to exhaust every ounce of his wisdom and strength.
He loved her.
Even though she never saw him as a lover—
only as a friend.
But a fool does not care.
His wish never needed society's approval.
A small man who challenged gods,
who gambled with wisdom itself,
who played the world like chess—
When others marveled at his cunning and sches,
they never knew—
That he had once been a child
who could do nothing at all.
No companions.
No friendships.
No redemptive reunions.
No miraculous power.
Only a road he walked step by step.
As a villain, perhaps that was the fate he deserved.
And yet—
It is precisely because of this
that his obsession shocks us so deeply.
Dreams are many. Reality is singular.
Choose one—and all others vanish.
Goals are many—but the ending is one.
His past was too long.
Those who could truly read it were few.
His life was too long.
His epitaph too short.
Perhaps all that remains is—
"He loved her, and gave her hope."
Farewell, Otto Apocalypse—
forr Archbishop of Schicksal,
grandfather of Theresa Apocalypse,
architect of countless tragedies,
a selfish and insignificant man—
And—
The most loyal lover of Kallen Kaslana.
As the words faded from the screen,
countless extraordinary beings watched in silence.
This was not rely the life of an Archbishop.
It was, as written—
The life of a sage.
The life of a fool.
Otto's life left behind
the deepest emotion,
the deepest awe.
There was anger.
Hatred.
Disgust.
Yet one could not deny—
That with a selfish life,
Otto Apocalypse ignited
the most dazzling light this world had ever seen.
As always—thank you, dear readers. Much love.
