OwO Mr. Otto, you got goofed

 

[Krune]

so its sorta like powerless Bianka vs quasi Honkai Freddy Krueger?

 

[RNDM1]

Alt!Otto pls, you really should know better than to banter with something like *this*... -.-

Let's just appreciate how Bianca is in a dream world created by 8th herrscher in a dream world created by the guy in the 2nd divine key, which is something like a dream world itself... so 3 dream worlds. At this rate, it's going to be super impressive if she keeps her sanity at the end

I love Otto, even if in our current timeline he is a son of a bitch it's all because he wants to revive Kallen, here we can really see what a great ally he could be.

@Escanor935 the assorted bits of backstory make it pretty clear he was a high-functioning sociopath with no moral compass whatsoever even *before* Kallen kicked the bucket, at which point he just became bootleg Gendo Ikari went completely off the deep end, tho. Circa half a millenium of exploring varyingly ethically bankrupt resurrection methods and ghastly human experimentation (which recently blew up BADLY with Celine...) to develop a better understanding of the Honkai have done nothing to improve matters since then.

He's assuredly competent but a monster all the same. This alt-verse incarnation is very much an improvement in that he's merely "necessarily ruthless".
