At that time, some people jumped out to say that what I wrote was wrong and even called me sick.
OK, today I will take this opportunity to discuss the logic of this plot. Since these words are free, I don't have to worry about being accused of padding my words.
First of all, let’s put aside Otto, Honkai, and the protagonists, and replace these three with Villain A, Villain B, and the Hero Savior Group.
Villain A fooled Villain B and took the bomb [restraint power] from Villain B's hand.
Villain B originally planned to use this bomb to kill 100 million humans [a random number, there is no need to say whether it is more or less, it is just a reference].
But if I put this plot into other world views or works, I can say with certainty that when people see A fooling B in a dog-eat-dog situation, basically no one will say that A saved 100 million people.
But Otto was blown away like this.
Of course, if Otto didn't cause any trouble after taking the power, there would be nothing wrong with saying that he avoided a disaster.
But the question is - will he not cause trouble?
Replay the plot.
What is Otto doing by using the power of restraint as a turtle shell - to delay time.
It's not like he will turn into a false god in an instant. He needs to buy time before that.
So in Otto's [50% probability of completion plan], what should the original plan be?
Bianca was sent away temporarily by him, and Theresa got some information through Amber. Then what combat power can the protagonist group use when breaking the barrier?
Kiana [was weakened], the Arlene sisters, and Seele, who were weaker than Kiana, Theresa [Divine Grace Barrier Mode], Bianca who would come to the rescue, and the scientific research data analysis support from the two doctors, plus the dumbass in Otto's eyes at the time.
The reason why it didn't seem difficult for the protagonists to break the barrier was actually because they were cheating.
The main thing is that the pressed duck is big.
When Banya was fighting against Thorn Rita, she had a hard time copying the Star of Eden.
As a result, in front of the barrier, Banya directly copied six Moonlight Thrones and broke Otto's turtle shell with 600% power. Only then could Theresa use the Divine Grace Barrier to destroy the second-stage restraint barrier.
The explosion of the Chinese duck was obviously not in Otto's plan, but this resulted in the two of them being seriously injured and losing their combat effectiveness. It can be said that if the Chinese duck had not exploded, there would have been a high probability of casualties here.
As for why the protagonists kept an eye on Otto instead of letting him carry out the plan of [killing seven billion people and going back to the past], nonsense! As warriors protecting the world, they would really be scolded to death if they just watched Otto kill people without doing anything, and they deserved to be scolded.
Now that the review is over, I have a question.
Villain A took the bomb that Villain B was going to use to kill 1E people, but he ended up burying the bomb outside to buy time in order to kill 70E people. Should we praise him at this time by saying "Look, he saved million people"?
I have never seen in other works where two villains fight each other and then one of them becomes stronger, and then a group of people brag about the stronger one and say that he saved many people who would have been killed by the other villain.
Especially when this stronger villain sincerely wants to kill the entire world's population.
By the way, if Otto really didn't cause any trouble, the most he could do was just clean up the mess he made in the past.
Banya was not as good as Joyce before he became a truth. If Joyce had lived normally to the modern era and not been replaced by Banya, then his strength would only be stronger than when he casually projected the Key of God.
At this point, let alone six Moonlight Throne Cannons, more can be done.
Combined with Theresa and the Divine Grace Barrier, the casualties that the Ruler of Constraint can cause in the modern chapter are actually very limited.
In addition, this only takes into account the impact Joyce had while he was alive. If other people were included, Moonlight Throne would have been completed long ago, and Joyce might not have needed to die at all.
I don’t know why some people would bring the casualties of previous civilizations into this era just to praise Otto. Don’t these people know that there are variables?
The previous civilization had no intelligence, no Moonlight Throne, no Judas, and no Ruler of Reason standing on the side of humanity. It was completely in the dark and could only resort to heaping up human lives.
In this era, after the predecessors of the previous civilization left behind intelligence, divine equipment, and Alysia opened up a new path, it is impossible to fight as miserably as in the previous civilization under normal circumstances.
Even according to Joyce's strength and his development after he survived, the second Herrscher Lao Yang plus Tesla and Einstein could barely win, the Thunder Law was not much stronger than the single-core Air Law and would probably be defeated, the Wind Law was not as good as the Thunder Law [the strength difference was 2000/3200], and the combination of Ice Law + Rock Law was also killed normally. It can be said that the number of people who originally needed to be sacrificed would not have to be sacrificed so much because Joyce survived.
Otto was responsible for all this.
And the most abstract part of this plot is that some people just picked out the plot that is favorable to Otto and started to blow it up.
But we know that a story is not a single fragment, a chapter is three-dimensional.
In Twilight of Fools, Rialto did the following.
After resigning, he started to make trouble → got the last dominant core → got the restraining power → used the restraining power to protect himself and started squatting → beat Bianca → squatted the false god → beat Kiana and Bianca.
In this process, the fact that Kiana and Bianca were able to win can only be attributed to the efforts of everyone. No one would think that Otto gave them some information and let them win, and that "all this is Otto's credit".
Then, those who praise Otto directly extracted a single event in the story [obtaining the power of restraint] without looking at the causes and consequences, or the bad consequences that Otto might have created [he didn't create them because someone stopped him].
OK, let’s take other events as examples.
Sirin was harmed → The second Honkai broke out → Sirin told Theresa that she was ready to destroy the world → Sirin and Walter fought → Sirin failed to kill Walter and despised human weapons → Walter responded by declaring war on Sirin on behalf of humanity → Otto attacked Walter → Sirin ran away and started throwing meteorites → Walter went to the moon to buy time.
Then they extracted the part where [Walter responded and declared war on Xilin on behalf of mankind] and directly put the blame on Walter, saying that it was because of him that Xilin wanted to destroy mankind.
Don’t look at the causes, consequences or specific settings - does this technique look familiar to you?
The method used to brag about Otto seizing power and saving people is similar to this.
If you want to extract the key points in this way, then I will continue to play a few more.
Nancy was preparing to test the Moonlight Throne → Otto changed the data before that → the test failed, Nancy died → Finn betrayed Otto → Others were angry with Otto → Otto started to clean up the traitors → After failing to clean up the traitors, he used fission bombs to bombard the city where Joyce was.
Then extract the part [Otto begins to clean up the traitors] and describe Otto's betrayal of others and all mankind as Bishop Otto cleaning up the traitors. He is not wrong.
From the perspective of plot structure, Otto actually has nothing to do with this chapter. This chapter mainly uses the environment to expand on the story of [how outrageous it is that Otto saved people].
Especially under the premise that Otto was really prepared to kill everyone [he claimed that 50% of the plan would be completed with a smaller sacrifice, which means that if the other 50% was achieved, he would really kill everyone], I took a look at the spy posts at that time.
Oh, it feels like someone picked you up from the ground and then shot dozens of bullets at your head with an AK, and then said to others with a smile, "Look, I lifted him up from the ground, I'm so awesome." It's really abstract.
There is actually not much to say about the God's Lost Property arc, because in it, the Herrscher of Consciousness has already awakened, and Otto no longer has the opportunity to do evil.
Under the premise that the false god cannot be revealed, Otto defeats the Herrscher of Consciousness in his complete state with his head.
Starting from the chapter of "Heaven's Lost Property", Otto has run out of options and even has to find ways to muddy the waters in order to find new opportunities.
And his method of muddying the waters is very simple - any method that can interfere with the actions of Destiny is a good method.
So this time Otto fast-forwarded directly to 2014 and "Long Live the World Snake", which I think is at least not a particularly outrageous plot.
(5) [Restraint Awakening], [Twilight of Fools]
By the middle and late stages of the story, Otto's problems had become increasingly serious.
Things went too smoothly in the early stages, and by the time he realized things were not going well, it was too late to save the situation.
On the one hand, it was because Lin Yu's evolution speed was about the same as that of an airplane [although not as fast as Ji Ran's rocket launch], and on the other hand, it was because...
That's Otto's nature.
I will look back at the times when Otto failed before. Every time, he would find that [he felt that the plan was under his control at the beginning] → [suddenly a situation occurred] → [direct failure] → [other people had to clean up Otto's mess because they were all in the human camp] → [Otto wins, wins, wins].
But this time, because Lin Yu and the Soviet Union blocked Otto's retreat, the two paragraphs [The others were all in the human camp and had to clean up Otto's mess] → [Otto wins, wins] were deleted, and Otto was forced into a desperate situation.
In the Ruler of Ruler arc, Rialto took the initiative to overturn the table purely because, in my opinion... I couldn't think of a way to strengthen him.
He was pushed too hard, and there was no hope left for him to avoid overturning the table.
There is really not much to say about the subsequent content.
Things turned out like this, not only because I designed the character for Honkai Impact 3rd, but also because my hatred for Otto was so deep, thanks in large part to those fans who used rumors as settings to whitewash him and the extreme fans who directly attacked me.
It is precisely because of this group of people that I studied Otto's stories more carefully, and then found out that few of the things he boasted about in the past could really be applied to him.
Fortunately, Otto has a clear understanding of himself, which preserves my last bit of good impression of this character.
And because Otto at least knows what kind of evil creature he is, this chapter will end here.
Anyway, there is nothing much to say after he dies.
The Collection of Stalks (Escape from the Sky)
This chapter is used to collect the memes mentioned in this book and have been used in the corresponding chapter content. Of course, there may be more than just memes. I will also mention some plot allusions and allusions to real books as long as they are not missed.
--------
This article
1. [Take off! Take off! What a wonderful start!] - Actually, when I used it, I had no idea who this meme came from. After checking, some people said it was from Pingzi, while others said it existed even earlier. I can only choose one of the two.
Actually, I didn’t think too much about it when I started writing it. I just wrote it down because I thought it was fun.
As a result, Lin Yu almost ascended to heaven, not to mention taking off. He felt a little at a loss for words.
This makes sense, right?
.
2. [CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD, YE NOT GUILTY] - A classic line from the animated series "Big O".
Although it is called a line, in fact, this is the startup message that will appear on the console after BIG O is started.
Judging from the plot, this sentence comes with the system when it is started. In my opinion, it is a hint that "the person who created it should be a god."
In addition, it was originally planned that this sentence should be repeated again in a very exciting way later.
In my conception, when Lin Yu was badly injured, he left the battle, and the system encouraged him with [CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD, YE NOT GUILTY/Forged this in the name of God, you are not guilty], allowing Lin Yu to let go and fight.
But later on, because Lin Yu's combat power was too high, there was no chance for him to be defeated and escape from the battlefield at the right time, so this idea had to be buried, what a pity.
.
3. My stupid brother——Needless to say, one of Naruto’s famous lines.
In fact, from the plot, Rita really thinks that her brother is very stupid, and from the subsequent plot, Rita's attitude towards Lin Yu and Itachi's attitude towards Sasuke have something in common. As the eldest brother/sister, they are really worried about their immature younger brother.
.
4. Otto, why are you just watching! ——Famous lines from the first episode of Kamen Rider Sword.
Anyone who has seen it knows that the protagonist then adds a sentence - Did you really betray me?
Unlike the plot of Kamen Rider Ken, the person to whom Ken said this did not betray him at the beginning.
But Otto really betrayed, so when writing this joke, there was a certain hint of meaning in it.
.
5. Siegfried [I can't do anything] - This is an old joke from Honkai Impact rd, one of the standard cheating jokes.
Of course, some people think that this is a joke only for Herrscher, but in fact, if we trace back the timeline of the plot, the first person to say this was actually...
Fifty thousand years ago.
Before awakening as a fusion warrior, Hua said the following lines when he was dying.
[Captain, I really can't do anything. ]
Then she successfully transformed into a fusion warrior.
The intention here is that Siegfried will have the opportunity to show his style later. In fact, in the later battles with Lei Lu and Chi You, I think Siegfried, as a senior, was already very powerful.
.
6. One is one, two is two - this is a famous line that no longer needs to have its origin explained.
Of course, everyone’s stereotype is that because of a certain MAD, they will follow up with another sentence - aren’t you bullying the honest people?
In fact, this plot is indeed about bullying honest people, so the title uses this corresponding famous line.
.
7. Are you crying like an idiot? — Kabaneri from the Fortress of the Iron Fortress
Even though Kabutoshi no Fortress has been badly criticized [of course I am one of those who criticized it], it does not mean that I will completely deny the plot of this anime.
In the second episode, after being rejected, Ikoma still chose to risk his life to save others. After being rescued by Wuming, Wuming said this to him.
Are you crying like an idiot?
This is one of my favorite lines, and as an effect, whether Wuming said this to Ikoma or Lin Yu said this to Mei, they are both full of the idea that "tears are useless, the right thing to do is to stand up and keep working hard to move forward."
So it is used in this place.
.
8. What's with that expression on your face? What's with those tears on your face?/Come over here!
One of Ultraman Leo's famous lines, said by the devil instructor Tuan Moroboshi.
There is no need to explain its uses, it is suitable for show effects so it is a natural addition.
