[Raiden Mei]: Class Monitor Fu Hua!!
[Hu Tao]: The Red Kite Immortal?!
[Honkai · Himeko]: Holding back Schicksal's entire army alone—and against Honkai-powered weapons!
[Raiden Ei]: To be this overwhelming with sheer individual strength?!
[Keqing]: Then… could Kallen really stand against Immortal Fu Hua?
[Theresa]: Schicksal suffered a devastating blow back then… they retreated soon after.
[Sparkle]: Hahaha, interesting—so even someone like Otto can be scared stiff!
Within the pure white space.
Kallen looked at the scene on the screen—
the moment when she, carrying the Oath of Judah, stood before the immortal of Shenzhou.
Even now, she could still feel that terrifying pressure from back then—
as if the entire world had been reduced to nothing but that razor-sharp sword intent.
And to this day, Kallen could never forget
what Fu Hua had said to her at the time.
"The weapon you wield exists to protect humanity."
"Without a true resolve to protect, one cannot unlock its real power."
The meaning of protection—
Kallen only truly understood it long after that battle.
But by then, Schicksal had already become something
she could no longer change.
To truly protect the people, to protect the entire world,
was never something a single Valkyrie captain could accomplish alone.
And yet—
as she looked at the figure on the screen,
the one desperately rushing toward the battlefield,
the panic and urgency etched across Otto's face—
Kallen smiled, for no particular reason.
"You protected the world I wanted to protect… very well."
It was Otto who fulfilled Kallen's dream.
It was Otto who, in the truest sense, protected the world and safeguarded humanity for over five hundred years.
This was their promise.
Their vow.
Otto had never broken it.
"Thank you, my great inventor."
Soon enough!
At the heart of the battlefield,
the decisive clash between the Red Kite Immortal Fu Hua
and Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie of that era, Kallen Kaslana,
was about to erupt!
[However—]
[even Schicksal's final trump card was no match for her]
Just a few simple lines on the screen,
yet they painted the despair and gravity of the battlefield with brutal clarity.
This was the first time Schicksal had faced such a terrifying opponent.
And it was also the first crushing defeat
for Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie—Kallen Kaslana.
Even the viewers outside the screen
were shaken by the sheer disparity in power.
At that time,
the Red Kite Immortal was overwhelmingly, despairingly strong.
Under the twilight sky.
On the vast plain.
The Red Kite Immortal stood before the collapsed Kallen.
"You wield that weapon to protect humanity,"
she said.
"One who has not awakened to the resolve of protection
can never release its true power."
For the first time,
the powerful immortal spoke—
addressing the fallen Kallen.
And at that very moment!
A figure appeared in the frame.
After racing recklessly across the land,
Otto finally reached the center of the battlefield
at the very last moment.
Though he was a medical officer,
far removed from the front lines—
let alone the very core where Kallen and Fu Hua had clashed—
he still appeared beside Kallen
at the most critical instant.
Seeing Kallen defeated before him,
Otto did not hesitate for even a heartbeat.
He rushed forward directly,
decisive and resolute,
placing himself in front of that being from Shenzhou—
a presence as overwhelming and despair-inducing as a god.
He spread his arms wide,
using his own body
to shield the girl behind him.
There was no cowardice.
No fear.
(I will protect her. Even if it costs me my life.)
In that instant!!
This scene not only struck Kallen's heart once more,
but also sent a shockwave through everyone watching.
All those present were extraordinary beings.
Even the slightest abnormality
would not escape their perception.
And yet—
under the scrutiny of over a hundred gazes—
facing a godlike existence that had effortlessly crushed Schicksal's army and Kallen herself—
not a single pause.
Not a moment of hesitation.
Not even the faintest speck of fear or doubt.
None of it appeared in this man.
Otto stood there naturally, sincerely,
placing himself before Kallen—
using arms that held no great power
to protect the girl he wished to protect.
Kallen Kaslana.
[Neuvillette]: He… doesn't seem afraid.
[Raiden Ei]: Such calm, even before an enemy like this.
[Jean]: He didn't even stop to think—he chose instantly, even knowing the cost could be his life.
[Furina]: QAQ Why do I feel like crying…?
[March 7th]: Hmph, Otto must be acting! (…Okay, fine, I admit it—this is a little moving…)
[Candace]: Is Kallen… really that important to him?
[Robin]: I think… I just found inspiration for a love song.
