Chapter 71: Green Otto, you cold-blooded villain!A blond, blue-eyed man with long hair tied into a ponytail and draped over his left shoulder, about 20 years old, with fair skin and a beautiful face, like a beautiful wife. He walked towards Sirin with a calm step.His eyes were calm, and his mouth was smiling, as if the person in front of him was not a terrifying Herrscher, but an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.Coming to the opposite side of Sirin, Otto exclaimed at the queen, who was pinching Fu Hua's neck with one hand."As expected of the Queen of Honkai, your figure is always so dazzling."Seeing Otto and hearing his words, the audience was speechless."Cat Cat: Is this the Bishop of Schicksal, Otto? This is the first time I see his face. He is the most beautiful. Unfortunately, he is a big villain! The mastermind behind the scenes is not a good person!""Want to Buy an Island: Don't think he looks like 20 years old, but he is actually more than 500 years old~""I don't want to take the exam: Damn, he doesn't look like a good person, and he praises the queen!"Kiana looked at the screen angrily. No matter how stupid she was, through this live broadcast, she knew why she was occupied by Sirin. A large part of the reason was the good deeds of this Overseer of Schicksal!"Damn, damn.""Mei, I want to hit him!"Kiana hugged Mei's neck, shook her arms, and said with indignation.Hearing Kiana's words, Mei reached out and touched Kiana's little head and comforted her softly."Kiana, don't worry, we will never let his plan succeed!""I will definitely protect you."Bronya, who was standing by, also came to the side, her face calm but very firm."Bronya will definitely protect the stupid Kiana and Meiyi sister!"The small, not big room was filled with a warm atmosphere for a while.When Xiyue saw Otto's appearance, her face was full of complicated expressions. When she saw Otto's face, she had only one thought, that is."Green Otto, show your health bar, I'm going to kill you!"This is also the real thought of most players.Although some people have feelings about Otto, they feel that he is very powerful from the moment he appears, then hate him, and then feel confused, but the final thought will become, let him die!In the end, MiHoYo also gave Otto his own true ending, allowing this character to complete his curtain call perfectly....In the plot, the queen saw Otto's face and stopped moving her hands. She was still very satisfied with Otto's praise, but she was also secretly alert because she could feel the risk of threat from Otto.But hard words still need to be said."I recognize you. You are the one who awakened me. You are a pitiful human who covets the power of God."Hearing the queen's words, Mobius's guess was confirmed. Elysia looked at Mobius's delicate chin and said to Mobius softly."Dr. Mobius.""Hmm?""This man is very dangerous. It is hard to imagine such a person appearing in the future."Hearing Elysia's words, Mobius nodded and answered softly."At present, I can't see through the man in front of me, but we all know that if you want to gain the power of the Herrscher, you can't just talk about it."Aafter saying this, Mobius's eyes flashed. In her heart, she vaguely felt that Otto was quite similar to her in some ways.In reality, Fu Hua in the martial arts hall was staring at Otto at this time. She wanted to know why Otto was different from what he said. When Durandal appeared, she had already felt something in her heart, but she had always lacked her own opinion and could not really confirm it.In the plot, Otto didn't care about the ridicule in the queen's words, but smiled lightly, like a gentleman, and spoke to the queen in front of him."Hehe, it's my honor to be remembered by you.""Then, as a return gift for giving you a second life, can you please show mercy to her?"Otto smiled and said this, pointing to the hostage in the hands of the Herrscher.At the same time, a scarlet fluid escaped from his body, and the blood-like fluid spread upward along Otto's arm in a spiral trajectory.Finally, it gathered into several sharp spikes. The blood spikes pointed directly at the Herrscher in front, as if they would rush out at any time."She is my friend, I don't want her to get hurt.""Cat Cat: Is he saving Fu Hua? I feel like he has bad intentions.""Want to Buy an Island: From what Sirin said, it seems that all this was planned by Otto. Does he want to obtain the power of the Herrscher? I'm a little confused.""I don't want to take the exam; there must be some conspiracy, damn it!""Driving License Revoked: Zaychek doesn't believe that Otto will save class monitor, Zaychek hates him so much!""Cooking Lady: What exactly are Otto's blood cones? It seems that Sirin is very afraid of these blood cones.""Dudu: This blood is Shariac Holy Blood. Holy blood can neutralize and eliminate Honkai energy, and is also called the 'Herrscher Killer.' That's why this Herrscher is so scared."While recalling some memories of the Second Honkai War, Theresa cried out in tears when she saw Durandal's words."Cecilia!""Miss Elf: If Otto was in the previous era of Fire Moth, those annoying councillors would have been played by him clearly."Mei, who came out of the interrogation room and returned to the hospital to accompany Kevin, saw Elysia's words, her eyes flashed, and she said softly in her heart."Councillor?""Heh."A trace of extreme coldness flashed across the purple eyes.In the Yae Village in the 15th century, Yae Sakura and Kallen were lying under the huge cherry tree of the shrine to bask in the sun. The warm sunlight shone on their beautiful faces, as if they were covered with holy golden clothes.Yae Sakura retracted her gaze, and then looked at Kallen next to her. Looking at the leisurely expression on her face, Yae Sakura thought of Otto in the plot, thought about it, and finally couldn't help but ask Kallen softly."Miss Kallen.""Hmm?"Kallen opened her eyes when she heard Yae Sakura suddenly call her name. Seeing the crimson eyes of Sakura, she smiled faintly and replied with a smile.The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and Yae Sakura spoke bluntly."Kallen, excuse me, what do you think of Otto Apocalypse?"Kallen was slightly stunned when she heard what Yae Sakura said, but she quickly realized that she had told Yae Sakura about her outside life these days, and she didn't expect Yae Sakura to be quite curious about Otto.Yae Sakura asked this, and Kallen had no reason to hide it. She thought of Otto's face in her mind, stared into Yae Sakura's eyes, and spoke slowly."He is like my brother, but sometimes he is more like a sister and I am more like the brother, hahaha.""But he is very smart, the smartest person I have ever met.""We grew up together, but later we had different ideas, and that's how it was."Thinking of that argument, until now, she still couldn't react to Otto's words.Then, Kallen told Yae Sakura about the experience of being a Phantom Thief. From here, Yae Sakura also knew about Otto's disguise as a woman and pretending to be a woman. She also knew about Kallen's story of becoming a Phantom Thief and robbing the rich to help the poor. In the end, she also knew the truth that Otto used innocent little girls as laboratories to study the Black Death.In the plot, Otto’s tone remained playful and frivolous, as usual, matching his cynical appearance.But the Herrscher did not share the same sentiment.It wasn’t Otto himself, but the blood cones that made her feel an instinctive sense of discomfort.It was a familiar, yet seemingly false substance. As she observed Otto, the queen, who had always been arrogant and looked down upon everyone, thought for the first time in her heart:"Do we have to fight this clown here?"...After thinking for a few seconds, she finally made up her mind."Hmph, she's not worth my effort. Since you want her, I'll leave her to you."Sirin didn’t make a move in the end because she sensed a similar presence in Otto to her own, though, unlike herself, there was another kind of bottomless obsession.No longer inflated, Sirin remained sober.Otto smiled awkwardly upon hearing Sirin's words, answered softly, and praised her."As expected, you are the Herrscher of the Void, the one who caused the greatest disaster in human history— the Second Eruption.""Not only do you possess the power comparable to that of a god, but your foresight of the overall situation is also truly remarkable."Hearing Otto’s words, the queen felt a sense of satisfaction, but her face showed disdain."Boring compliments. I'm not interested in you; those little girls are my target.""But someone like you can become a king. Humans are truly pathetic."With a disdainful flick, the queen discarded Fu Hua and vanished into the void."I don’t want to take the exam: Ah huh? Isn’t Sirin supposed to be arrogant? Why did she run away? Is she so afraid of Otto? Damn it, why don’t they just fight, dog vs dog!""Want to Buy an Island: Business mutual praise? But Otto’s coaxing skills are amazing. He deserves to be the man who makes so many Valkyries loyal to him. It’s a pity those Valkyries were deceived by his sweet words.""Miss Elf: Damn, managing so many Valkyries, Otto, I will never forgive you!""Cat Cat: Is Sirin’s reaction a sign of cowardice?""Queen: Ridiculous! This is not cowardice. Short-sighted ants, this is called focusing on the goal, understand?""Driving License Revoked: Zaychek doesn't believe Otto can be the class leader, Zaychek hates him so much!""Dudu: I didn’t expect Otto to really save Fu Hua, it's really not like his style."Watching herself being saved by Otto in the plot, Fu Hua felt a surge of extremely complicated emotions. She had already concluded that Otto had deceived her and that everything he said was merely a means to use her.However, this time, Fu Hua didn’t make up her mind. She continued to watch the live broadcast, sharing the same suspicion as the audience. She was unwilling to believe that Otto would save her.Based on her understanding of Otto, she knew he wouldn’t do something meaningless.Aftee seeing the chat, Xiyue smiled coldly. She had been naive back then, truly believing that Otto had saved Fu Hua. But that thought vanished the next second when Otto slapped her in the face.It was hard to describe the feeling at the time, but she wanted the audience in the live broadcast room to experience that same sensation.Back to the plot, Otto heard Fu Hua, who hadn’t stood up yet, and looked down at her. He said softly:"Ah... It’s really embarrassing.""The last time I saw you this badly injured was five hundred years ago at Tianqiong Peak."Hearing Otto’s words, Fu Hua didn’t pay attention to the injury caused by the battle with the Herrscher but looked at Otto angrily, demanding an explanation.Of course, Otto knew Fu Hua’s gaze but pretended not to see it, continuing to speak."Anyway, I’ll treat you first. Consider it a congratulation on the successful completion of the first phase of the experiment."Hearing the teasing tone in Otto’s words, Fu Hua could no longer hold back her anger. She endured the pain in her body, glared at Otto, and asked. "Why?"Otto wasn’t surprised by Fu Hua’s question but still feigned surprise and responded with a puzzled expression. "Hmm?""Still able to speak?"Fu Hua’s blue eyes were filled with anger and confusion."Why... let her go?""Don’t you know that her goal is...?" Fu Hua’s question was interrupted by Otto before she could finish speaking.Otto retracted his smile, looked at Fu Hua expressionlessly, and answered first. "It’s Theresa, I know.""I’m afraid they’ll be caught soon. This time, no one else will interfere.""Their battle will go on to the end."Meanwhile, in reality, Theresa’s tears from earlier caused by memories had not yet dried. Hearing Otto’s ruthless words, she was stunned.The sharp pain in her heart spread through her entire body.Unable to stand, she sat on the ground, tears rolling down like a river.Looking at Otto in the plot, Theresa shouted hoarsely. "Its really you! grandfather!"Not only was the audience puzzled, but Fu Hua, too, was full of doubt. Her eyes were clouded with confusion."What did you say?"Seeing the shock on Fu Hua’s face, Otto’s smile widened, and the teasing in his eyes grew stronger. He pretended to think of something and continued speaking to Fu Hua."Oh, by the way, I haven’t told you yet. Don’t worry, this must be good news for you."After a moment of silence, Otto’s voice continued."K423 is not dead yet, and I need her to live."At this, Xiyue realized that the second major scene in Chapter 9 was about to unfold.When Fu Hua heard this, her face grew even more confused. Otto’s joy intensified as he saw her expression, and he went on to explain his plan to his old friend."Now, in that body, there are two consciousnesses: the K423 consciousness you call Kiana and the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin's consciousness. After absorbing the Gem of Serenity and a high concentration of Honkai energy, Sirin’s consciousness in that body began to activate and successfully occupied the container, leading to the reawakening of the Herrscher of the Void.""Heh, but this is not the ending I want.""So far, we call this the first stage. The next step is the real experiment."Otto’s voice became increasingly playful and rational, though madness laced his words. His blue eyes flashed with a threatening light, and he continued. "K423’s consciousness fell into a deep sleep after the Herrscher’s awakening, but she didn’t disappear. So, if the opposite happens—K423’s consciousness defeats Sirin’s consciousness—what will happen?"At this point, Otto paused, then smiled confidently at Fu Hua lying on the ground."The answer is that a ‘human’ with the power of a Herrscher will be born. Haha, this has been confirmed by the Third and Fourth Herrschers. Even if the Herrscher’s consciousness is suppressed, the power of the Herrscher will not disappear.""It’s much easier to manipulate a human than a Herrscher.""Of course, it’s not easy for K423 to win, but it’s not impossible."Upon hearing this, Fu Hua already knew the first half of Otto’s speech and realized what Otto was talking about.Back in the plot.What is going on? Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief."Could it be...?"Otto didn’t give Fu Hua a chance to answer and said with a smile.  "I think you’ve guessed it.""Yes, that is love. Love will create miracles."---Chapter 72: Immortal Jingwei, I didn't lieHearing Otto's straightforward words, anger and disgust filled her eyes. Fu Hua endured the pain all over her body, slowly stood up, looked at Otto with the eyes of a beast, and shouted angrily."You!"Otto didn't care about Fu Hua's eyes that were about to burst into flames and continued to talk about his plans and opinions with great interest."I have always believed that the deep affection between people will turn into the purest and most powerful power.""During the two years of studying at K423, they have formed an unbreakable 'bond' in their hearts. These happy and warm memories will turn into the power for K423 to tear apart the heart of the Herrscher, who doesn't know what love is."Otto's words made Fu Hua hallucinate the end of Theresa, and she shouted with grief and anger."They, they will be killed!"Otto heard this and said calmly, "I understand. The difference in combat power is obvious. But I can't help them, and no outsiders can intervene in this sacred battle. It is in such a desperate situation that humanity will bloom the most dazzling brilliance.""According to my calculations, when the sacrifice appears, K423 will take back this body.""And I believe in Theresa and her students.""Killing the Herrscher with love is a feat that only they can accomplish!""Cat Cat: Look at what he said, what is he saying! I am so angry, I want to beat him to death! This big villain, ah ah ah, I really want to kill him!"Pardo has never been as angry as today. At this moment, she really wants to shout at the grumpy old man in the sanatorium next door to kill Otto!"Want to Buy an Island: Madman, this is a madman. For this experiment, he sacrificed his subordinate Valkyrie and his own granddaughter. If this is not a madman, what is it? It is really hard to imagine that Schicksal is led by this person!"As a mercenary, she witnessed many evils of human nature, but those evils were really not comparable to Otto.He was crazy, crazy to the extreme. He was so crazy that he could even sacrifice his own granddaughter.What else can't such a person do?Raven also had reason to believe that this person doesn't fight against Honkai with all his heart and must have other purposes. But she couldn't tell what the purpose was."I don't want to take the exam; I want to beat this old bastard to death! It's really annoying. Can I kill him?"Kiana was furious. She only wanted one thing now, which was to rush into the headquarters of Schicksal and shoot Otto to death with one shot. It was really disgusting and too bad.It wasn't just Kiana who was angry.The queen in her mind felt even more like a clown after hearing what Otto said. Her every move was part of this man's plan, and she was being led by the nose.How could she, who was so proud and arrogant, bear this?She hurriedly wrote Otto's name on the first page of her notebook. There were only one words on the whole paper, Otto, filled with murderous intent."Sakura: Using other people's feelings, can this person really have feelings?"Although Yae Sakura was slow, she always felt that Otto liked Kallen from the story Kallen told her.But when she saw Otto in the live broadcast room, Yae Sakura knew that Kallen would never like such a person."Beautiful Snake: There is only a small wall between a madman and a genius. This is impossible to evaluate."Mobius did not express her opinion on this because she herself had thought about using human bodies for experiments at some point.However, her experimental mice were all human death row prisoners, the kind that were to be shot.But if he looks at it from the perspective of human civilization, he is indeed exploring a feasible path. Once it is achieved, it will be much easier to fight against the Honkai. It can be said that he is a qualified leader.But her intuition tells her that the real purpose of this man is not to win against Honkai."Miss Elf: Crazy, really crazy. I personally hate this person!"Elysia also knows that he is right on some levels, but she doesn't care. She hates these cold-blooded people for no reason.When Mei saw Otto, she didn't comment or speak but tried to look at the whole situation from Otto's perspective. Kevin on the bed also felt that something was wrong with Mei and stretched out his big hand to hold Mei's delicate hand.Fu Hua was also silent.Fu Hua watched all this, and the last bit of fantasy in her heart was shattered.At this time, she made a choice and made up her mindAs another person involved in the plot, Theresa had cried all her tears at this time.She looked at Otto, who was talking big in the live broadcast room, confused and gloomy like a puppet. Her heart was cold and dead.It was also at this time that she was carried in and entered a gentle embrace.Theresa looked up blankly, and then saw Himeko's dark golden eyes and the red flame-colored hair....In the plot, Fu Hua stood up and looked at the man in front of her, her face full of emotions. She knew that the man in front of her was completely crazy.No, since that person died, he was a complete lunatic."Haha, hahahahaha."Fu Hua looked at Otto and laughed loudly, laughing at Otto and herself, and her laughter was filled with infinite despair and sadness."Cooking Lady: Class monitor's laughter is so heartbreaking. It makes people sad in their heart."And Otto still looked at Fu Hua with a playful smile."My friend, I'm asking you seriously now. Your behavior is beyond my control, so I choose to tell you everything. Even so, will you still resist me?""Are you still going to stop me?"Otto's two consecutive questions stopped Fu Hua's sad and miserable laughter.Fu Hua looked at Otto, almost using up all her strength, and gave her own answer."Friend? Ha.""There is no conscience in your words, only bottomless selfishness and lies. You trampled on other people's feelings, playing with other people's fate, you don't even feel that you are a bad person for a moment!""Otto Apocalypse.""You make me feel hateful and disgusted from the bottom of my heart!"As soon as Fu Hua finished speaking, thunder flashed across the sky, darkness covered the sky, and at the same time, covered the face of Otto Apocalypse.The scene turned, and Otto, who heard Fu Hua's words, heard Fu Hua's choice and determination, did not speak.Instead, he raised his hand and pointed it at Fu Hua.Golden light condensed in his right hand and gradually turned into the form of a musket - Mimicry - Judgement of Shamash.He slowly pointed the muzzle at Fu Hua.It was a long process. The memories of five hundred years disappeared one by one in front of his eyes like a dream bubble, turning into nothingness. It was a very short process.It was so short that when Otto came to his senses, he had already made his decision.Looking at Fu Hua, he spoke in a light tone."Immortal Jingwei, I didn't lie."Bang!A pleasant gunshot sounded, the picture turned dark, and the sound of "click-click-click" sounded.The echo rustled in the ear, like the sound of raindrops falling on an umbrella, and like the sound of birds flapping their wings.Chapter 73: The Guardian of Shenzhou - Immortal JingweiWhen the audience saw this scene, the chat fell into a dead silence.After a while, the chat began to play very fast, with the viewers expressing their opinions and attitudes."Cat Cat: Fu Hua died just like that? Killed by Otto with a single shot? I can't believe it."Pardo was the person who had the biggest emotional reaction upon seeing this scene. When she saw Fu Hua taking Kiana away and the words she said to Himeko, Pardo didn’t have a very good impression of her.After all, Pardo knew that I Don't Want to Take the Exam was Kiana. She had been communicating with Kiana online for so long, and the protagonist in the plot was Kiana, so she naturally had goodwill toward her.How could she consider things from Fu Hua’s perspective, one of the masterminds behind all of this?However, as the story progressed, her attitude toward Fu Hua began to change.Especially when Fu Hua stood before the Herrscher and told Bronya and the others to leave first, and when Otto spoke those words, Pardo realized that Fu Hua wasn’t the bad person she had imagined.There was a lot of mystery surrounding Fu Hua, and according to the mangas she had read for many years, this person must be someone very important or at least harbored a very important secret. But a person like that was killed in a few seconds?And by his former partner and friend?This left Pardo’s young mind in shock, and she couldn’t react for a long time."Want to Buy an Island: The Immortal Jingwei from five hundred years ago? Immortal?"Raven murmured. She was also shocked by Fu Hua’s death but was also intrigued by what Otto said."Immortal Jingwei?"Raven felt a strong sense of familiarity. She seemed to have seen this title somewhere.For this reason, Raven withdrew her attention and used her World Serpent Cadre authority to check the information about Immortal Jingwei.Meanwhile, Kiana and the others on the Hyperion couldn’t help but shout when they saw Otto kill Fu Hua."Class monitor!"With disbelief on their faces, the three looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Kiana’s heart was also conflicted.It was impossible for her not to have any thoughts about Fu Hua after watching the previous events.But when she saw Fu Hua and Otto turn against each other, and realizing that all of this was Otto’s plan, she also realized that Fu Hua was kept in the dark. Gradually, her opinion of Fu Hua began to fade.Especially when she heard Fu Hua’s extremely sad laughter and the crisp gunshot.She could hardly believe that Fu Hua would really die!Kiana had mixed feelings.As Fu Hua watched herself get shot by Otto, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, leaving only sadness. She stared at the feather on the screen for a long time without saying a word."Five hundred years of friendship. It turns out that it is really worthless."After an unknown amount of time, she sighed heavily and murmured."Miss Elf: This person still says he didn’t lie, didn’t deceive Fu Hua. Who is he telling this to? Is he telling it to himself?""Beautiful Snake: She shouldn’t have died. The feather sound that appeared twice on the screen is likely a foreshadowing. This person who lived from the previous era to this one won’t die so easily."Mobius looked into the blind spot, then shared her guess with everyone. Standing up from her spot, she continued.Elysia, who was lying on Mobius’s thigh, hugged her arms tightly with both hands, staring into Mobius’s eyes. She thought of Otto in the plot, and her eyes flashed. Then she told Mobius her doubts."Dr. Mobius, do you think a leader like Otto can really lead the people of the next civilization to defeat the Honkai?"Mobius didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she smiled slightly, looked at Elysia’s face, and asked in return,"Then do you think those people in the parliament can lead us to defeat the Honkai?"Elysia was slightly stunned by Mobius’s question. She didn’t expect Mobius to respond like that.She was very aware of the recent changes in Fire Moth, but as a warrior, she didn’t like that atmosphere. She didn’t like playing political games. Her only purpose in joining Fire Moth was to fight the Honkai.Therefore, even though she knew the top management was becoming increasingly chaotic, she didn’t realize just how bad it was.So, when she heard Mobius’s question, she was unsure how to respond. She wanted to answer affirmatively, but upon thinking about the increasingly uncomfortable atmosphere in Fire Moth, she hesitated.Mobius noticed Elysia’s hesitation and doubt and wasn’t surprised.She knew that Elysia didn’t care for internal matters as much as she did. Elysia had even refused to join the parliament years ago because of that.However, thinking about what was about to happen to Mei, Mobius continued to speak to Elysia."Elysia, do you know that someone in the parliament wants Mei dead? An assassination team has been sent to kill Dr. Mei?"Upon hearing Mobius’s words, Elysia’s expression turned shocked. She was quick-witted and understood why the parliament might want Mei dead. As captain of the second special team, she knew about the conflict between Dr. Mei and the top leadership.But she hadn’t expected the top leadership to go so far as to order an assassination.She knew Mobius wouldn’t joke about such matters and hurriedly spoke to her with concern."Dr. Mobius, we have to return quickly! We know how important Dr. Mei is to us, and we can’t let them hurt her.""Let’s go back, quickly. We need to go back fast!"Elysia said urgently to Mobius. Even though she didn’t care about internal matters, she knew the people in parliament and what they were capable of.Mobius looked at Elysia’s anxious expression, smiled more widely, shook her head, and softly reassured her."Don’t worry, Elysia. Do you think Dr. Mei didn’t notice it?"Upon hearing this, Elysia’s worry began to ease. She looked at Mobius’s smile, understood something, and uncertainly said to her,"Dr. Mei, did she actually?"Elysia didn’t finish her sentence because Mobius nodded and spoke first."Guess how Mei found out?"After saying this, Mobius's eyes flashed with a charming light.As a veteran member of Fire Moth, what she knew was beyond the reach of those councilors. Thinking of Mei's character, Mobius couldn't help but look forward to Mei's counterattack....Xiyue sighed softly while watching this plot.She could feel the emotional changes of the crowd just from the chat. As a player from back then, she was still deeply moved by this plot, even though she had seen it many times.Not to mention the few people who had a close relationship with Fu Hua in reality, and Fu Hua herself.To a certain extent, Otto didn’t lie. What he said to his old friend Fu Hua was the truth. But because of this, Otto became even more despicable and disgusting.Everyone who saw this plot back then wanted to immediately make Otto’s health bar appear, and beat him violently."Otto, die for me!"As a villain in the early stages of the Honkai, Otto did attract the anger of most players.However, seeing the reaction of everyone in the chat, Xiyue spoke to calm the crowd."Don't worry, Fu Hua is not dead!""This is Fu Hua, who has lived for tens of thousands of years. It's not so easy for her to die!"When the audience heard Xiyue's words, their fluctuating emotions slowly calmed down. Xiyue nodded to herself when she saw the chat returning to normal.You can’t stay sad now and face an even sadder story later.That wouldn't be good.As a conscientious anchor, Xiyue felt she couldn't allow this.The sadness from the previous scene, followed by a plot like the last one, would greatly reduce the emotional impact of the next scene. Only when you calm down and prepare for the Final Lesson can you truly feel the impact of the MiHoYo knife stabbing.Twisting her neck, she continued to broadcast the plot.Do you think the plot of Fu Hua being shot is the climax?Humph, that’s just an appetizer. The real drama is yet to come!The scene in the play shifted, and the vision moved to Himeko. Himeko, who was unconscious, slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the strange ceiling surrounded by iron sheets.She touched her head, still groggy, and said in confusion, "Where is this?"Resisting the pain from her body, she slowly stood up. Her memories of what happened before she fainted began to echo in her mind, but there was no time to think. The overwhelming burden on her body and the noise in her mind kept interrupting her thoughts.Himeko stumbled toward the door, but the noise in her mind grew louder and louder.Suddenly, fatigue overwhelmed her, and she collapsed just a few dozen centimeters away from the exit. Himeko struggled to get up, leaned against the iron door, and gasped for air.She then noticed that she was holding a bottle of reagent.‘HSN-B46’Looking at the blood-red liquid in the bottle, Himeko's eyes showed a puzzled expression. She muttered,"Is this serum? Where did it come from?"Seeing Himeko’s difficult expression, Kiana and the others in reality showed worried looks on their faces.Even though they knew the plot in the live broadcast hadn’t happened yet, they couldn’t help but feel anxious, knowing something was wrong with Himeko.Meanwhile, on the other side, Himeko, who was holding Theresa in a princess carry, looked at herself in the live broadcast room. Her eyes flashed, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.But this was not the time to dwell on it. Looking at Theresa, who appeared as if dead in her arms, Himeko hurried to the Hyperion.Otto’s words to Fu Hua were a major blow to Theresa....In the plot, as Himeko spoke, the screen gradually pulled back, exposing her entire body.Himeko leaned her head against the door, glanced at the serum in her hand, felt the noise in her mind, had some guesses, and softly muttered."Is it you, Fu Hua?"As soon as Himeko finished speaking, a white-haired, red-eyed Fu Hua appeared behind her, enveloped in a flame-like aura, carrying an otherworldly presence.The moment Himeko saw Fu Hua, the chat exploded again."Meow meow: Eh? Fu Hua is really not dead! But how did she suddenly appear in front of Himeko, and change her clothes, hairstyle, and eye color? But this Fu Hua definitely gives off a different vibe. She looks so extraordinary and beautiful!""Driving License Revoked: This Class monitor gives off a different feeling than before.""Miss Elf: One of the Thirteen Flamechasers is not so easy to kill~ But Fu Hua dressed like this is really charming. White hair and red eyes are in my heart! She must join Elysia's harem!""Old antique: ...This is not Fu Hua."Fu Hua looked at Miss Elf's speech and felt strange. It was the first time she had seen someone speak this way, but her body felt unusually familiar with it.She didn’t think much of it; she knew exactly what the white hair and red eyes signified."I Don't Want to Take the Exam: Huh? Class monitor... who is she? This is clearly Fu Hua!""Cooking Lady: Something is off. Logically, even if Fu Hua escaped from Otto, she couldn’t have come to Teacher Himeko this quickly.""Dudu: Well, she is indeed not Fu Hua herself. It’s another function of Fu Hua’s Divine Key. This Fu Hua is in her Immortal Phoenix form, the one she once used to protect Shenzhou.""Beauty Snake: Divine Key, which Divine Key is it?""Dudu: The eighth Divine Key, the Key of Sentience– Fenghuang Down. It controls the brain’s consciousness and is the Divine Key of that manipulates thoughts. In short, the Fu Hua that appeared in front of Himeko was a transformation from Fenghuang Down’s feathers left by Fu Hua herself. These feathers contain Fu Hua’s personality and thoughts, but also possess their own true consciousness."Dudu was also shocked by Otto shooting Fu Hua, but it was within her expectations. After all, when Fu Hua talked to Otto, she knew what Otto was planning.After collecting her thoughts, Durandal shared the information she had with everyone. Her authority was second only to Otto, and Otto had never kept information about the Divine Key and Fu Hua from her.When Dr. Mei saw Durandal’s explanation, her heart became more determined. She was extremely sure that her Divine Key Project was both correct and necessary.As early as the Third Eruption, Mei had proposed to the Fire Moth Council to develop a series of Divine Key weapons, suggesting using the power of Honkai to fight against Honkai.But her proposal was too radical and dangerous at the time, and it was opposed by many. Nevertheless, she stuck to her viewpoint and overcame all objections. With the support of Mobius, who was already a top scientist at the time, the Council finally agreed to her plan.Over the years, she gradually developed forbidden technologies — the Herrscher-core-driven anti-Honkai, god-killing weapon, referred to as the Divine Key!However, progress had been slow. If it weren't for the help of a genius engineer, the Divine Key might never have been made. Mei’s thoughts now turned more toward this certain engineer.After looking for information about the Immortal Jingwei, Raven finally found what she needed. She saw a photo of a clay statue of the Immortal Jingwei appear before her eyes, with large words underneath. The Guardian of Shenzhou – The Immortal Jingwei!Immortal!---Chapter 74: The Guardian of Shenzhou -  Immortal PhoenixIn 2100 BC, Jingwei's clay statue and legend appeared in Shenzhou, and the ** plan failed.In 1500 BC, Jingwei and a young girl traveled around Shenzhou, slaying demons and leaving many stories."In 1500 BC, Jingwei met *h, and the * plan failed."In 551 BC, Jingwei defeated the Judgment Extreme Honkai Beast "Qiongqi" in the Northern Wilderness.In 549 BC, Jingwei was in Taixu Mountain, protecting the world."In 718 AD, Jingwei fought against the Honkai together with the Tang Dynasty, making it stand firm and become the most shining pearl in the East.""In 1400 AD, Jingwei was officially called an immortal and officially taught the people of Shenzhou how to correctly mobilize the body's Honkai energy. At the same time, the Ming Empire officially recognized Jingwei as an immortal."..."In 1476 AD, the immortal Jingwei went to the grassland alone and defeated the Valkyrie troops sweeping across Europe and Asia by herself, destroying most of the living forces of the Schicksal army at that time and blocking them outside the edge of the empire. (Attached is the painting 'Immortal Jingwei Breaking the Formation').""Afterwards, Immortal Jingwei was found in Taixu Mountain, betrayed by her seven disciples, and was suspected to have been killed. It wasn't until 1880 that the Phoenix's figure appeared in London, England, and since then, the legend of Immortal Phoenix stopped."After reading these records about Immortal Jingwei and looking at the paintings of Fu Hua from different periods, Raven's wine-colored eyes were filled with complexity.She knew from the live broadcast room that Fu Hua was from the previous civilization, but she didn’t expect Fu Hua to have done so many things over such a long history.Raven felt both a sense of greatness and loneliness just from the written records.Especially one of the records: Immortal Jingwei has a dull temperament, occasionally with someone around her, but more years of solitude. In order to fulfill her promise to Fuxi, Jingwei alone protected Shenzhou for hundreds of years. "Just for a promise?"Raven's eyes flashed, and then many doubts emerged in her mind. Why would someone like Fu Hua be deceived by Otto? And what is the so-called Projects in the record?The plan of the previous era for the current era?Raven's doubts increased. She also wanted to check it out, but due to insufficient authority, she could not find detailed information. However, she had a strong curiosity about Fu Hua's life and experiences.Just when Raven was checking the information about Immortal Jingwei recorded on the surface of the World Serpent, Fu Hua and Himeko in the plot also met. Himeko looked at the different Fu Hua in front of her, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still chuckled."You look really different.""So, what do you want to do to a captive like me? "Himeko looked at Fu Hua in front of her. Although she had fought with Fu Hua before, she still couldn't bring herself to have any malice toward this former student.Jingwei was silent for a moment after hearing what Himeko said, then he looked at the serum in Himeko's hand and said lightly:"What you have is the serum to neutralize the Honkai energy, which can alleviate the erosion of Honkai energy on the body. Find a safe place to use it. Once the serum neutralizes the Honkai energy in your body, your power as a Valkyrie will also be lost."Hearing Fu Hua's words, Himeko's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. She glanced at the serum in her hand, then her eyes moved back to Fu Hua, and she chuckled in response."Hehe, a gift? Thank you so much."Himeko was slightly stunned when she heard what Jingwei said in the plot, but she quickly understood what Jingwei meant by doing so. She shook her head and said to Theresa in her arms with a smile. "Theresa, does Schicksal have such a good thing?"As soon as the voice fell, Theresa in her arms flashed her eyes but did not speak. At this time, Theresa had not yet reacted to the conversation between Otto and Fu Hua.Seeing this, Himeko shook her head, looked at Theresa again, and spoke softly. "What a fool."Then they reached Hyperion.In the plot, Fu Hua's words continued. "The Herrscher has awakened."But before Himeko had a chance to react, Jingwei's words continued:"After you get out of here, run north and you will see a sentry tower. It's safe there, and you can hide there. There will be some guards on the way, but I believe you can handle it."Hearing Fu Hua's words, Himeko looked at Fu Hua's red eyes and said bluntly. "I don't need to know this. Tell me where Theresa and the others are!"Hearing this, Jingwei's eyes flashed. She answered directly. "If you choose to save your companions, go through the sentry tower and continue forward. I will wait for you in the laboratory at the other end of the sentry tower."After saying this, Jingwei's figure gradually disappeared."Beautiful Snake: From here, we can see that Fu Hua in front of us is more like a set program than the real person. The function of the Divine Key is really surprising."She contributed to the execution of Mei's Divine Key Project. Although she was not the primary executor, she was still a participant. She also witnessed the creation of the first Divine Key, [Void Archives], made by the engineer.It’s a pity that from the moment it was successfully created, she never had the chance to observe it before it was sealed by the parliament. Saying it had gone out of control.Thinking about the parliament, a trace of mockery and dissatisfaction flashed in Mobius’s eyes, especially when she thought about the internal conflicts within the parliament. From the moment they stopped her funding, she lost all trust in the current parliament and felt deep disgust for it.Elysia nearby sensed the emotions that Mobius didn't hide. She knew who Mobius was disgusted with.As she rubbed Mobius's arm up and down with her body, Ellie immediately hugged Mobius and curiously asked with pink eyes, "Mobius, do you think Dr. Mei really wants to deal with them?"Hearing this, Mobius turned her head and looked at Elysia, whose face was so close to hers. The corner of her mouth curled into a charming smile, resembling Elysia's.Considering Mei’s character, Mobius answered happily, “Let’s wait and see!”Elysia raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing Mobius's ambiguous response.Mobius, the enigmatic figure, truly resembled a riddle master.Thinking of this, Elysia’s eyes flashed, and she slowly lowered her gaze to Mobius's face. She then extended her hands and gently shook them.Initially proud of her words, Mobius suddenly changed her expression. She felt a strange numbness spread across her body and subconsciously moaned."Ah~"..."Cat Cat: Although this is not a real person, I can feel Fu Hua's concern for Himeko. After the previous battle and conversation, why do I feel like Fu Hua is the type to have a sharp tongue but a soft heart?""Driving License Revoked: Zaychek also thinks the class monitor has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: Even so, I won’t forgive her, hum!""Cooking Lady: The class monitor has always been this way.""Miss Elf: People are complicated. Fu Hua, in particular, is easily deceived. I feel like I could fool Fu Hua with a lollipop~""Old Antique: ..."Fu Hua glanced at the comments from Kiana and the others and realized something.If Kiana and the others had been in the live broadcast room, they must have known about Otto and what was about to happen next.So her identity had been exposed.With this in mind, Fu Hua immediately left the room and made her way to the roof of a teaching building.From there, she gazed at the location of the Hyperion and, as she expected, the Hyperion had already set off.She also remembered the last Wendy operation, which had clarified the specific reason why Theresa had asked them if there was a traitor among them.Fu Hua shook her head, her heart heavy with conflicting emotions.She didn't know how to face Theresa and the others at this point.As Kiana had said, she couldn't forgive them, and she couldn't forgive herself. She thought of Otto's figure and the shot Otto had taken at her.A strong impulse welled up inside her heart."Dudu: It's true, as mentioned above, Fu Hua is too easily deceived."Durandal remarked, raising the corner of her mouth slightly and speaking softly."Like me, no one can deceive me."Although she had become the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, Durandal had never abandoned the narcissism she had nurtured since childhood, especially when she was alone.When Xiyue saw the comments, she nodded in agreement."Fu Hua may be deceived, but she would never deceive anyone, except for a newly born Herrscher."In the plot, Himeko sensed Fu Hua's departure behind the door. She pushed the door open with all her strength and found that it was open. However, she didn’t have time to think about it. She stuffed the serum into her pocket and quickly left the seventh containment chamber.As she exited the containment chamber, she heard a familiar, continuous groan."Mmmmm--!"Hearing this, Himeko hurried forward and saw Tesla, with her red twin ponytails, tied to a chair.Her body was immobile, and especially, her mouth was sealed with a delicate black handkerchief, which gave her a strangely comical appearance.It didn’t take much thought to figure out that this was the handiwork of a considerate maid.Himeko approached Tesla, who continued to moan, and quickly spoke, "Calm down. I’ll remove the cloth quickly."Once Himeko removed the cloth, Tesla, regaining her ability to speak, raised her eyebrows and glared."That maid! Don’t let me see her again!"A furious voice echoed in Tesla’s ears.Hearing Tesla’s familiar voice, Himeko sighed with relief. It seemed Rita hadn’t done anything too out of line to Tesla. She then asked Tesla, "What did she do to you?"Recalling what Rita had just done, Tesla roared angrily."She dared to humiliate me!" Tesla, still tied to the chair, shook with anger.Himeko found herself suppressing a laugh at the sight of Tesla’s frustration. Resisting the smile, Himeko noticed the rope behind Tesla, which had been tied into a beautiful bow, the shape of which looked too perfect, almost like a craftsman’s work of art.While helping Dr. Lobster Head untie the ropes, she feigned confusion."Ah?"Tesla then resumed her rant angrily."She kept apologizing while tying me up!""What did she say? Sorry? It will be uncomfortable to watch. I’m sorry for offending you."Tesla mimicked Rita’s voice, then returned to her own angry tone."Then she tied me!""The worst part is she even sprayed perfume on both sides of the scarf. Is she deliberately playing me?"Tesla’s broken voice echoed in Himeko’s ears, as well as in the ears of everyone in the live broadcast room."Cat Cat: Although the doctor looks miserable, I can’t help but laugh when I hear her words. I can’t control it, hahahaha!""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: Damn it, I shouldn’t have drunk water. I almost choked to death, but hahahaha.""I Want to Buy an Island: I’ve heard of Dr. Tesla of Anti-Entropy for a long time, but I didn’t expect her to be exactly as I imagined. Hahaha.""Dudu: Uh, Rita has a creed of pursuing perfection.""Driving License Revoked: Zaychek can’t help laughing.""Miss Elf: Dr. Tesla is really cute, are all doctors so cute~"---Chapter 75: Herrscher Killer and Godslaying SpearXiyue was also full of smiles when she saw the chat.No way, no matter how long you watch, Dr. Lobster Head's famous scenes will always make people smile, especially after just experiencing Fu Hua's story knife stab.There must be a plot to liven up the atmosphere and relax people's mood before they can welcome the big knife stab later.First, make them laugh and then make them cry later, this is the MiHoYo knife skills!She had suffered from it for several years, and now this "happiness" is also shared to these people as well.Tesla's words successfully washed away the gloomy feelings in the hearts of the audience and also restored the activity of the chat area.In the game, Himeko listened to Dr. Tesla's words while trying to hold back her smile."Well, anyway, I'll help you untie it first."While speaking, Himeko helped Tesla untie it and then briefly explained to Tesla what happened just now. After listening, Tesla's red eyes flashed with worry, and then the two discussed and continued to explore the laboratory mentioned by Fu Hua.Soon, the two came to the place Fu Hua mentioned.Seing the elevator in front of them, Himeko was about to open it, but unfortunately failed.[Error warning 11037 - Unable to find the object, access denied]Tesla looked at the elevator that could not be started. She raised her head slightly, and spoke disdainfully  "Humph, it's just an elevator. If I can't crack this, I can write my name upside down."After saying that, Tesla took out a small red device from her gloves and inserted it into the terminal interface neatly. The system sounded, and then a mixed sound of electricity was heard, and the elevator door opened.Looking at the opened elevator, Tesla crossed her arms with disdain on her face. "As long as this module is turned off, all defenses in the laboratory will be paralyzed at once. The elevator will naturally start, but the experimental monsters in the cages will also run out.""I Don't Want to Take The Exam: What a pity, I really still like Dr. Lobster, it sounds pretty good!""I Want to Buy an Island: If Tesla hears you, she will definitely be angry.""Driving License Revoked: Dr. Tesla is very powerful, but Zaychek can't do such a neat operation as her.""Beautiful Snake: It's decent.""Queen: It's just a pile of broken copper and rotten iron, what's there to be proud of?"Having been broken by Otto just now, Herrsscher of the Void adjusted her mood again and looked at the live broadcast room.Seeing Tesla's arrogant look, she was very unhappy.But as soon as the queen's words came out, Kiana replied immediately."I Don't Want to Take the Exam: So, you can do it too?""Queen: No, I don't care to know it.""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: That means you can't do it. People who can't say they can do it are really shameless. Shame on you."If it was the previously, The Herrscher of the Void would definitely react strongly to this. But after so many times of confrontation with Kiana, she was no longer the impatient person of the past.The queen replied indifferently. "Queen: Then you can do it?""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: I can't do it, but it's better than some people who can't do it but still mock those who can. Shame on you, lililili!"Then the queen couldn't refute it again. Kiana had been playing with Xiyue for so long, and the new words she learned from Xiyue were not comparable to the queen's.Of course, if the queen had cared to learn at that time, she might have learned it.Then she would have been evenly matched with Kiana.But the queen disdained peeking at Kiana's peaceful life, so she was destined to be defeated by Kiana at this time.Kiana saw that the queen didn't speak and laughed very happily, making up her mind while laughing,"I must learn more words from Sister Xiyue, hehe."Then she smiled happily at Mei and Bronya."You are just a Herrscher, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me?""Hahaha, ah, it hurts."Kiana put her hands on her waist, and before she could be happy for a few seconds, her little head started to ache again. At this time, Kiana knew the reason for her headache. She knew that it was the Queen's anger because she couldn't talk to her.She endured the headache and shouted in her heart,"Sirin, you don't have martial ethics!""If you dare, let's go 1vs1!"But Kiana was destined not to get a reply from Sirin and could only get a stronger headache from Sirin.Xiyue was also stunned when she saw Kiana and Sirin's confrontation.This familiar sense of déjà vu is really something. She didn't expect Kiana to learn these things.This idiot. After being with her for so long, her academic performance has not improved, and these casual words she said were just nonsense. However, looking at this, the Herrscher of Pufferfish must have been defeated.Thinking of this pair of frenemies, Xiyue felt very happy in her heart.Back to the plot, Lobster operated easily, and Himeko and the others entered the interior. But at this time, the Honkai beasts and infected experimental bodies were already out of their cell.Even Himeko could not deal with so many, so the two retreated strategically.Tesla thought of the horrible scene just now,her face scared to bits. "Finally got rid of them. What are these bastards Schicksal studying!"And Himeko, who was next to her, felt extreme pain due to the high-intensity attack just now and the damage to her body. She couldn't help but make a few dull sounds of pain.Seeing this, Tesla was very worried, but Himeko didn't tell Tesla the truth and waved at her. Seeing this, Tesla was about to say something when suddenly, she looked at the communication equipment in front of her with shining eyes and pounced on it like prey, trying to contact Einstein and the others.Unfortunately, she didn't get in touch, and the only response to her was the noisy sound of electricity.Seeing this, Tesla was very angry. She kicked the communication equipment in front of her several times, and then sat on the ground without any image.Himeko looked at Tesla in front of her and teased her gently, "Your face is really ugly."As soon as the voice fell, Tesla immediately replied,"Huh, aren't you the same?"Himeko smiled when she heard Tesla's familiar reply."Let's move on. Fu Hua said that there is something in that laboratory that can 'save everyone.' It is a means to fight against the Herrscher. I don't think that Schicksal will awaken the Herrscher without any preparation. They must have considered the countermeasures for the failure of the plan.""Maybe there is something to fight against the Herrscher."Then the two continued to set off. Himeko looked into the distance, thinking of Fu Hua's face. Her eyes were full of determination, and she said heavily in her heart."Fu Hua, I will catch you and ask everything clearly."And Fu Hua, who was standing on the roof, was not surprised to see this plot. If it was really as the plot said, that thing was the only means to fight against the Herrscher.Although she knew that Durandal could deal with the Herrscher, given Otto's character, he would not let Durandal take action unless it was absolutely necessary.Besides, what Otto had in his hand...Fu Hua did not think about it anymore but continued to watch the livestream.When the two entered the door of the laboratory, Tesla looked at the messy environment around her, then summarized her thoughts and said to Himeko,"Then before you go in, let's reorganize our plan of action from the beginning.""First, break in and turn it upside down to find the secrets here. Then, take the things away and find Hyperion.""Finally, beat the Herrscher to pieces and everyone will be happy!""I don't Want to Take the Exam: Hey, you are worthy of you, Dr. Lobster Head. I support this plan with both hands and feet.""I Want to Buy an Island: Doctor, you are right.""Cat Cat: I also agree.""Dudu: Clear thinking, tactical master.""Miss Elf: It suits my taste~~ Please do so.""Sakura: This doctor's thinking is also wonderful."Himiko held Theresa as she entered Hyperion. She was familiar with Dr. Tesla and could only say,"You are worthy of being you, Dr. Tesla.""Still as humorous as ever."In the plot, the two entered the laboratory. The first second they stepped into the laboratory, they were shocked by the scenery in front of them. What came into view were industrial instruments spread all over the floor, connected to each other, like a precise assembly line.Himeko was surprised to see this scene."Rather than saying this is a laboratory, it's better to say it's a factory."Before the two had time to solve this doubt, they were interrupted by the sudden alarm.The familiar alarm sounded, controlling Himeko to kill the guards, and soon entered the plot mode again.Finally, the two entered the main control room in the laboratory. Tesla was immersed in the content displayed on the screen and did not answer her, while Himeko found a quiet corner to sit down and heard the familiar voice of Jingwei."You are covered with wounds."Hearing Fu Hua's voice, Himeko smiled lightly. At this time, she already knew that the Fu Hua who appeared in front of her was not the real person, but this did not affect her communication with her."Haha, it finally appeared.""Fu Hua, is this the place you said?"Hearing Himeko's words, Fu Hua replied lightly."No, not yet. Keep going to the bottom, you will find the answer."After saying this, Fu Hua was about to leave, and then saw the instruments in front of her and said with a little surprise."Wait a minute, these instruments, I recognize this symbol."Then she looked at the symbol and fell into thought, but soon she realized something. Her eyes flashed with surprise, and she said softly to Fu Hua."Hehe, it turns out that Otto also has this trump card.""I take back what I said before. The things on this floor are also very important to you. Explore them carefully, and you must find them.""Cat Cat: Woo, I found out why everyone here likes riddles. Can't you explain it clearly at once! Listen to me, I am confused.""Driving License Revoked: Zaychek also hates riddlers.""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: Listening to this, my head is about to explode. Umm, uncomfortable.""Cooking Lady: I told you to study hard!""Miss Elf: Am I the only one who pays attention to Fu Hua? She has changed from a girl with flat-frame glasses to a armored black suit, and then to the current red eyes and white hair. She is getting more and more beautiful~ I like this style so much!""Beautiful Snake: You like everything that looks good.""Miss Elf: How can you say that~ My favorite is still Dr. Mobius who has not yet appeared~"Elysia hugged Mobius' body with a smile and rubbed it hard a few times under Mobius's disgusted eyes. Then she set her eyes on Fu Hua's face.Elysia's eyes lit up, thinking of Hua in the fifth team. She decided that after bringing Pardo back to Fire Moth during this trip in Sundown Alley, she must often visit Hua and get familiar with her.Then after getting familiar with her, she will ask Eden to make a dress exactly the same as the one on Phoenix, so she can see Hua's beauty directly!Thinking of this, Elysia already envisioned the incomparably beautiful scene, and her eyes brightened.When Mobius saw Elysia's look, she knew that the girl in front of her was thinking of something bad.She looked at Elysia with disdain, then continued to focus on the livestream.She was now more and more interested in Otto.No, to be precise, she was very interested in Otto's experiments, which had given her a lot of experience and ideas for her own experiments.In the plot, Tesla's shouting distracted Himeko's attention. When Himeko came back to her senses, Fu Hua had disappeared.Although she had some guesses, she was still a little dazed when she really saw Fu Hua disappear in front of her. Tesla on the side spoke with a puzzled face."Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? You are in a daze over there. You didn't respond when I called you.""The battle was too intense. Did your brain get damaged?"The grumpy old lady gave her a fair evaluation, then came to Himeko's side, took out the tablet in her hand, and showed it to Himeko. Himeko came back to her senses, then leaned in front of Tesla and looked over.[Record number tbos-2000-0106]Then, Otto's slightly excited voice sounded in the tablet."Successful. Athough there were some accidents, the 'Herrscher Killer' has fully proved its value in the Second Eruption. Cecilia's blood has undoubtedly reached a very high degree of completion.""One step away, I can complete the 'Schariac Holy Blood.'"Tesla next to her was silent for a moment, then added,"Herrscher Killer, that is Otto's secret weapon against the Herrscher in the Second Eruption."She then continued to look through the experimental records [2014-0007]."Why? This is already the fourteenth year, and the Holy Blood has not made any progress even though it is only the last step. Am I getting impatient?""Heh, we've waited for five hundred years. The experiments to activate the three gems are progressing steadily and will soon enter the testing phase. If the Holy Blood cannot be completed, the entire plan will be delayed."Tesla spoke with a bit of gloating when she heard this. "It seems that the experiment has reached a bottleneck, haha."Otto's voice continued to sound."Dr. Maki is really a genius. The HSN-B46 serum he designed can actually inactivate the Honkai energy in organisms and circulate through the body. His original intention was to treat those Valkyries, but I saw the true value of this serum at a glance - it is what I have been looking for, the last step to complete the Holy Blood!""It's a pity that the doctor is no longer alive, otherwise I really want to invite him to celebrate with me."The voice was still ringing."After the Holy Blood sample was mixed with the serum, the solution showed a bright red color. Three groups of test subjects were ordinary human women, C-level Valkyries, and infected female zombies.""According to the results of the experiment, the Valkyries lost the control of the Honkai energy they had gained through transformation, and the zombies began to show symptoms of pain and rampage. A few individuals lost consciousness. Among those who lost consciousness, there were weak brain waves."...After the experimental report was over, Dr. Tesla was extremely angry when she saw the brain waves."It wasn't written all at once! Damn, do you really care about the experimental results!""You are a scum who cuts off important parts to the next chapter, you will not die well!"When the audience heard Otto's experimental records, they also expressed their attitudes."Cooking Lady: Isn't that serum called B46 the one that Fu Hua gave to Himeko? It turns out that it has a great effect.""Cat Cat: Otto's human experiments make me shudder, it's really too much!""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: Cecilia's blood were used in so many experiments! How much blood did Cecilia bled! I want to beat Otto to death, it's too abominable!""Want to Buy an Island: If this Dr. Maki is still alive, he doesn't want to see Otto. According to intelligence speculation, Dr. Maki was most likely killed by Otto.""Beautiful Snake: Herrscher Killer? What a straightforward name, no wonder.""Research Girl: Cecilia's blood?"Mobius and Mei are very curious about this Herrscher Killer.As long as they learn the techniques, they will have more cards for the next Herrscher that appears. Having experienced five Eruptions, they knew very well that the Honkai were stronger than before.In addition, given the current environment of the Fire Moth, if there were no trump cards, the Sixth Eruption would be extremely dangerous.In the plot, Tesla looked through the last experimental record."Hahahaha! After being injected with a mixture of holy blood and serum, the Emperor-class Honkai beast began to weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the Honkai energy in its body began to escape the control of the main body. In the end, the Emperor-Class Honkai beast that was composed only of Honkai energy instantly turned into ashes.""I fnally completed it! This is the Godslaying Spear!""Everything is ready. K423 has enrolled in St. Freya Academy as planned, and the spies have been arranged. And now, hehe.""The Godslaying Spear is also in my hand—then next, it's time to wait for the harvest!"Otto's confident and raging voice echoed on the screen. It also echoed in the hearts of everyone watching the livestream.Chapter 76: The Red-Haired Tsundere Doctor Never Disappoints!"Want to Buy an Island: It seems that this Godslaying Spear is the basis for Otto to carry out this crazy plan. He is really a crazy but extremely smart man."Raven gave her evaluation. As a cadre of the World Serpent, she could directly feel the horror of this man, who had led Schicksal for five hundred years, from the public materials about Otto.Only the mysterious Lord could compare with him."Cat Cat: Spy? This spy is Fu Hua, meow. Kiana's admission to St. Freya Academy is also part of the plan. This man is too scary, meow!""Cooking Lady: This..."Seeing this plot, Mei looked at Kiana beside her.Noticing the confusion and doubt on Kiana's face, Mei stretched out her arms and hugged her tightly.Her soft gaze turned firm."Kiana, it's okay. I will definitely protect you!"She added silently in her heart, "Just like you protected me back then."When Himeko saw what Otto said, she was also surprised. She subconsciously wanted to ask Theresa if she knew about this, but Theresa's dull, lifeless eyes in her arms already explained the answer.Then Himeko shifted her gaze, but Theresa felt it, and her lifeless eyes gradually regained some vitality. She shook her head at Himeko."I don't know either.""I thought our meeting with Kiana and the others was an accident, but it was still part of Grandpa's plan.""Heh, I naively thought that Grandpa didn’t know Kiana’s true identity."After saying this, Theresa replayed the conversations between Otto and Fu Hua in her mind. Her face was full of self-mockery. Self-blame, regret, sadness, anger, and other negative emotions lingered in her heart, refusing to dissipate for a long time.But the only thing that couldn't rise was hatred.She huddled in Himeko's arms, like an abandoned little beast, her head buried tightly."Beautiful Snake: I have to say that Dr. Maki is indeed a genius, neutralizing Honkai energy."Dr. Mei agreed with her. As a scientist, she knew better than anyone how important this serum was in fighting Honkai on a strategic level!Mobius' eyes flashed with anticipation.Elysia noticed Mobius's eyes and understood what kind of temptation this serum and the Herrscher Killer posed to scientists like Mobius.She thought of the reward from the audience system. Her eyes sparkled, and she was even more tempted by this trip to Sundown Alley.If she got these two serums, what price would Mobius pay her to get them?Thinking of this, Elysia stared at Mobius's green eyes and licked her lips."Dudu: He never does things he's not sure about."Durandal looked at the shock in the comment section about Otto's experimental results and then expressed her own opinion. Although her teacher was sometimes very annoying, it was undeniable that he had the ability, strategy, and wisdom.Back to the plot, Tesla and Himeko were silent after listening to the last experimental record.Finally, Tesla looked at Himeko hesitantly, wanting to say something, but she swallowed it back when it came to her lips. When she hesitated, the other party spoke first.Himeko could understand what Tesla’s eyes meant and asked gently."Can you make it? The Godslaying Spear." Himeko stretched out her right hand, holding the red serum tightly. At one end of the test tube were the letters HSN-B46.After a moment of silence, Himeko’s words continued."I think it's time to use it now."Tesla fell silent when she saw the serum in Himeko's hand.Fu Hua looked at Himeko’s behavior and sighed softly. She had long thought that Himeko would do this, and a trace of admiration flashed in her blue eyes."Teacher Himeko, you are really worthy of it.""Cooking Lady: Himeko gave the serum that Fu Hua wanted to cure her to Tesla to make the Godslaying Spear, so what about her? Her body is obviously not right!""I don't want to take the exam: What's wrong with Aunt Himeko's body? I'm so anxious."Kiana buried in Mei's arms suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of shock and confusion. But at this time, no one in the room knew what was wrong with Himeko. Kiana was very anxious and wanted to rush to Himeko and Theresa to ask about the situation.Bronya on the side looked at the anxious Kiana, shook her head, and answered."Bronya doesn’t know either, but Bronya speculates that Major Himeko may have been seriously injured before."Himeko looked at Kiana’s speech. She didn’t answer. She still didn’t want to tell Kiana and the others the truth at this time, even though the content of this livestream had revealed a lot of information.But what Himeko didn’t know was that there was the strongest Valkyrie in the livestream who was famous for her honesty and stupidity."Dudu: Because she received artificial stigma transformation surgery at the age of 22, Himeko’s body is far less adaptable to Honkai energy than a teenage girl. In addition, years of fighting have caused her body to be severely eroded by Honkai energy.""Cat Cat: What consequences will the body have if Honkai energy is used?""Dudu: She will die. Although the artificial stigmata of Schicksal can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Valkyrie, it will greatly reduce the Valkyrie’s lifespan because the artificial stigma is not perfect."Hearing Dudu's words, Kiana and the other two turned pale, their minds went blank, and they fell silent.Himeko looked at Dudu who had told her about her physical condition. Himiko had a helpless look on her face.How could this person, called Dudu, know her so well?Ater all, only a few people knew about her physical problems.It seems that this Dudu is also associated with Schicksal.Only a few people within Schicksal have the authority to know her information. As Himeko looked at this ID, her thoughts began to wander."Dudu? Du?""Could it be Durandal?"Himeko wondered to herself. After all, among the people she knew, the one who she thought was slow-witted is only Durandal, the strongest female warrior of Schicksal. Although Durandal herself didn't think so.However, Himeko wasn't worried that the viewer suspected to be Durandal would inform Otto about the livestream.After all, this mysterious livestream had a rule that the content could not be revealed to non-viewers. Moreover, if it really were Durandal, she wouldn't tell Ottoconsidering her personality.But then Himeko stopped at the door of Hyperion's dormitory, thinking about the three little ones inside. A headache began to form.After hesitating for a moment, she opened the door and walked in.The moment she opened it, three figures rushed toward her and hugged her tightly, along with Theresa in her arms being embraced as well."Aunt Himeko!""Teacher Himeko!""Major Himeko!"Three clear and tearful voices echoed in Himeko's ears....Durandal watched Himeko and saw her hand over the serum that could cure her. Her blue eyes flickered with confusion, and a long-forgotten memory surfaced in her mind.It was the first time she had seen Himeko. She was still in the orphanage back then.Himeko had been a volunteer counselor at the orphanage, where Ragnar, the captain of the stormtroopers, served. She had been promoting St. Freya Academy, where she taught.When Durandal was young, she had greatly admired Ragnar. Seeing Himeko go to St. Freya Academy however made her very dissatisfied.She thought Himeko was using her position to advertise the school and angrily questioned her, believing that Himeko didn't understand Ragnar's ideals.But Himeko simply smiled at her questions and spoke from the heart."It's meaningless to repeat sadness. If you truly admire Ragnar and keep her in your heart, respect her values and understand her ideas, then you should try to realize her dream.""What's valued in this world isn't empty words but real struggle."It was because of Himeko's words that Durandal signed up for Valkyrie special training at Schicksal Headquarters. She had also considered attending St. Freya, but the school's relaxed system made her feel that it would waste several years before she could become a Valkyrie on her own. Ultimately, she chose not to attend."Cat Cat: Then, what if Himeko doesn't have the serum, meow!""Want to Buy an Island: I think a warrior like Himeko who had fought hundreds of battles wouldn't use this serum, even if it was available. As a warrior, I'd rather die on the battlefield than die of old age behind me."Being a mercenary for many years, Raven shared her thoughts.Xiyue saw what Raven said and nodded in agreement.Because Himeko is that kind of person—likable and pitiful.In the scene, Tesla saw Himeko's determined eyes and said nothing.She turned around and began searching for the holy blood sample. Fortunately, the sample could be found in the lab, and only this rare serum was missing.If the materials could be gathered, it wouldn't be impossible for Tesla to replicate the Godslaying Spear based on the experimental records.However, Tesla took the holy blood sample and looked at Himeko again. She wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing."You'd better not have too many expectations.""The amount of serum in this tube is too small, and there’s only one chance to try it."At that moment, a shrill alarm sounded at an inconvenient time.Himeko stuffed the serum into Tesla's hand, turned her back, and spoke lightly to Tesla."Dr. Tesla, I'll give you this medicine."Tesla watched silently as Himeko left. The test tube in her hand still held the warmth of Himeko's palm. She didn't say the words she had intended, but even if she did, it wouldn’t change anything.Then, Tesla turned around, squatted down, and began to develop the Godslaying Spear based on the experimental steps.After Himeko dealt with the guards, she turned her gaze to the bottom door Fu Hua had mentioned, lost in thought.Just then, Tesla's shout interrupted her train of thought."Himeko, are you still alive?"Himeko heard Tesla's words and responded softly."I'm still alive and well."Then, Tesla helped Himeko repair the tattered Valkyrie armor on her body and spoke to her. "Your armor must have been broken after hacking through all that. Don’t die in there; I won’t have time to get you out!""Miss Elf: Dr. Tesla is such a tsundere, just like a certain doctor~ So cute!""Snake: ..."This time, the other viewers ignored Elysia but were drawn in by Tesla's actions.Tesla sighed in relief as she watched Himeko go down, muttering to herself."I don’t want anyone else around for the next experiment."She returned to the original spot, put on gloves, picked up a syringe filled with purple liquid, and spoke to the camera in front of her."It’s 15:44 now. The sample has been prepared according to the steps, and the next step is to enter the experimental stage."With that, she injected the liquid from the syringe into her arm in one swift motion. The first substance injected was the Honkai energy solution. Her skin began to turn pale, and the fine blood vessels under the surface began to emit an uncomfortable red light, spreading from her wrist upward.But Tesla's face remained calm, showing no signs of fluctuation.She was no stranger to this kind of scene—she had seen this tragedy countless times, the symptoms of people turning into zombies.However, it was the first time she had witnessed this transformation happening to herself.And the audience soon realized that Tesla was using herself as a guinea pig to test the Godslaying Spear. Their hearts clenched, and they watched anxiously, praying for the experiment’s success.Tesla looked at her arm. She watched the purple Honkai lines slowly appear, then spread throughout her body. Her body began to change as per the experimental data said, but Tesla remained calm. She just watched this scene unfold.She was certain that she hadn’t made any mistakes. If the experimental record was correct, then the small tube of sample in front of her was the real Godslaying Spear.But the experiment wasn’t over yet.To ensure the experiment's success, the final step was necessary.Tesla’s eyes grew firm as she quickly swapped syringes and drew a small amount of the sample solution again."Since no one volunteered, I have to do it myself and take responsibility!" Tesla muttered, then injected the entire liquid into her slender arm.Tesla couldn't hold back her scream, but her eyes remained fixed on her arm, watching the changes take place.A few seconds felt like an eternity.Looking at the unchanged purple lines, Tesla took a deep breath and reassured herself."It will be fine. My theory can’t be wrong!"With that thought, she slowly closed her eyes. In the darkness, she seemed to see many scenarios—the serum not working, the Honkai energy running wild, and her brain being consumed by the energy. Tesla quickly recorded her observations with her undamaged right hand."The Honkai energy in the body hasn’t been activated, but it hasn't been completely neutralized either. While my consciousness is intact, my body is beginning to corrode, with holes forming. My body also had a strange reaction, and the surface showed white and pink matrix patterns."Tesla paused, then her mind began to wander. She imagined surpassing the zombies and becoming a lobster-like Honkai beast.Then, for some reason, she turned into a pink figure.Time passed slowly. Tesla prayed, opened her eyes quickly, and gasped for breath.Fortunately, what appeared in her sight was a slender, thin female arm, with a few faint blood vessels visible under the smooth, fair skin.Tesla had never thought her arm could be so beautiful. Afterward, she collapsed onto the ground, her body gasping for air, sweat pouring from her forehead in relief.Tesla shouted excitedly."Success!"She waved her right hand enthusiastically, like a child who had just received a birthday present."See? Mophead, I’m really a genius!"The voice of the surprised girl rang out. The little ones in the live broadcast room who had been watching Tesla experiment on herself with bated breath also breathed a sigh of relief and shared in Tesla’s excitement."Cat Cat: Ahhhh meow, Dr. Tesla, you are so awesome!""I Don't Want to Take an Exam: I declare that Lob... Oh no, Dr. Tesla will be my little idol! So awesome, so exciting!"---Chapter 77: Vermilion Knight Eclipse!The clear cyan liquid flows quietly in the syringe, and a pair of fiery red eyes are reflected in the clear liquid's surface.Murata Himeko stood in the elevator going up to the bridge, silently staring at the reagent in her hand.The project name is "Godslaying Spear." Using the HSN-b46 serum given to her by Fu Hua as the raw material and the experimental data left by Otto as a reference, Tesla successfully copied this secret weapon of the Overseer of Schicksal.But despite becoming a "weapon," its efficacy as a Honkai inhibitor has not changed.Himeko still remembers what Fu Hua said to her when she woke up in the cell in Helheim."This serum can neutralize the Honkai in your body. Escape to a safe place and use it, then live."Live...?Injecting the serum, becoming an ordinary person, and spending the rest of your life under the protection of Schicksal seems to be a good choice, but—What's the point of a future where only you can survive?Since she was transformed into a Valkyrie at the age of 19, the erosion suffered by Himeko was much more serious than that of anyone else, and her rash participation in the immature Nexus system experiment greatly shortened Himeko's lifespan.From the Stormtroopers to the Valkyrie Corps, to the Fifth Squadron of the Far East Branch, and now as a teacher at St. Freya Academy, Himeko's body has been pierced by more than a thousand holes in the past ten years.But she can't give up yet, and she doesn't want to give up yet.If this broken body can still do anything, she hopes to save her students. So, she put on the armor she has now and became the Vermillion Knight standing here now.The sudden alarm interrupted Himeko's thinking. The lighting in the cabin switched from soft white light to flashing red light, and the sound of the ship-wide broadcast came from above her head:"Air raid! Air raid! The unknown heat source reaction is approaching from the rear at a speed of 420 kilometers per hour! The optical observation system is faulty and cannot capture the target image! The Honkai energy wavelength matching confirmed that it is a Judgment-level Honkai beast! The angled deck was hit by an energy bomb and the spoiler fell off! There are still 1,000 meters to the target position... 700... 300... about to contact the target, all personnel are ready for impact!"Before the voice fell, a violent tremor spread throughout the battleship."Is it coming?!" Himeko clenched the reagent in her hand and frowned.The air pressure was released, the airtight cabin opened, and the elevator finally arrived at the bridge.Just as Himeko stepped out of the hatch, a shadow shrouded her head. It was the anti-aircraft turret that pressed toward the bridge like a mountain.Benares flapped its huge dragon wings and roared across Hyperion's Honkai barrier.Even though its core had been destroyed by Fu Hu and fought the Valkyrie troops, Benares still possessed a power infinitely close to that of a Pseudo-Herrscher.In front of it, the so-called barrier of humans was no different from a layer of thin paper. It was just a wingtip sweeping across, and the barrier melted like heated butter.Benares flew around on the deck, examining the creations of humans.On the deck, the anti-aircraft turrets kept firing, but the beams of light that swept across could not even make Benares feel a little pain.It was really hard to imagine that the Queen would be injured by such a weak attack. While Benares laughed at the toy-like weapons of humans in its heart, it pulled up a turret with its claws and threw it toward Hyperion's bridge.Although this was not within the scope of the Queen's request, you will experience the price of disobeying the Queen with your bodies!The glass of the command room was first turned into powder, and then the steel structure supporting the command room also collapsed under the heavy pressure, all in just a single moment.Benares hovered in the air, proudly admiring its masterpiece.This is the fate of a disobedient person!However, in the next second, Benares saw that the turret it threw out was actually shot back at its forehead at an incredible speed!"Bang."This attack was so fierce that Benares almost fainted for a moment!How is it possible?!Benares couldn't believe that this body that couldn't even be hurt by the cluster gun would be injured by a simple physical impact.And then, a black shadow flashed across the sky, so fast that Benares had no time to react.All it saw was the crimson hair and the red flame-like armor.The body had never been so light, and the power was constantly flowing to the limbs and bones."Hah!"Himeko kicked down and knocked Benares down instantly.The huge dragon body fell on the deck of Hyperion with a loud bang.It is worthy of being the prototype of the Godsbane Battlesuit.Even a dying person like her can knock down the Judgment-level Honkai Beast with two hits. Himeko sighed silently in her heart.The big sword in her hand was glowing orange-red. It was the Godslayer Sword Sutr. Like the Vermillion Knight, it was directly powered by the Gem of Haste and was specially designed to copy the powerful destructive power of the Herrscher of Flame.It's time to give this monster the final blow! Himeko raised the Godslayer Sword and swung a fatal blow—Or rather, it was a blow that should have been fatal.Himeko widened her eyes in surprise.A crack in space flashed in front of her eyes like a ghost. She knew she had been tricked, but it was too late.The Godslayer Sword had already chopped right in the center of the crack.Then, the dazzling white light swallowed everything.When Himeko opened her eyes, she found herself in another world."This..."The Hyperion beneath her feet had been replaced by a massive ship-shaped stone floating in the air. The figure of Benares had vanished from her sight.As far as the eye could see, there was only an endless void and floating stones surrounding her.It wasn't difficult to imagine that there was nothing else in this world. Thick black clouds completely covered every inch of the sky, turning the azure blue sky into a dim and purple hue.Himeko stood up slightly, already knowing where this place was.Yes, this is—"Hehehehehehe..."The hollow chuckle echoed without restraint in the space. The Queen of Honkai, who claimed to be the apostle of God, stepped out from the void.Imaginary space, the realm of Honkai, the kingdom of the Second Herrscher."Do you think you can escape?"The cold, delicate face lacked the cheerful smile from before, leaving only the joy of a hunter's successful harvest."Kiana." Himeko's heart ached. She couldn't tell whether it was the erosion of the Honkai or her own sadness. She didn't know if the mischievous student sleeping in the Herrscher also felt the same pain.But someone must put an end to everything, and that person could only be Himeko herself."Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Himeko picked up the Godslayer Sword. Indecision had never been her style. The so-called determination had been made the moment she decided to wear the Vermillion Knight.Sirin sneered.How shameless! You dare to provoke me like this just because you hurt me once by luck and stole power!Sirin waved her hand lightly, coldly and clearly."Are you ready to die?"The irresistible force suddenly seized Himeko's body, pulling her toward Sirin."Do your best and struggle hard."Sirin simply waved her hand, sending Himeko, who had been pushed in front of her, violently flying back.Ahuge contrast in acceleration struck instantly, making Himeko feel like she had been hit by a heavy punch.At the same time, a square boulder suddenly rose behind Himeko.Under Sirin's control, Himeko was pressed hard into the stone without resistance. And following closely behind, two more boulders rose like a closed door, sealing Himeko inside.Sirin lifted her hand upward, and the stone immediately carried Himeko into the air.With a snap of her fingers, the boulder cracked and spun like a Rubik's Cube in Sirin's hands.With another wave of her hand, the two imaginary spears floating around Sirin turned into white-hot lasers, cutting the stone and Himeko within it into four pieces.But that wasn't the end. The remaining two spears turned into tough ribbons, intertwined with each other and twisted into an extremely sharp spear.Sirin slid her index finger upward, and the spear easily pierced the stone Rubik's Cube; with a downward stroke, the spear tip split, and with a loud bang, the stone crumbled into rubble as the spear pierced back."That's all."Sirin raised her eyebrows in boredom, turning away to the boundless void, as if dissatisfied with Himeko's failure to please her....The lower passage of Hyperion's warship on the eve of the decisive battle.Himeko panted as she leaned on the railing outside the medical room. Though her body was brimming with the power of the Gem of Haste, blood still flowed uncontrollably.People carrying parts busied themselves between the deck and the walkway. Though the launch of the Moonlight Throne had successfully damaged the Herrscher, Hyperion's power reactor had also been heavily damaged. Among those running around were Hyperion crew members, supporters of the Far East Branch, and helpers from Anti-Entropy.Some Himeko knew, others she didn’t; some remembered her, others did not...People who were once irreconcilable had united because of the appearance of the Herrscher.And her students, Fu Hua, the Saint of Anti-Entropy, the Third Herrscher, and—"Although they are all guys who never grow up, I still like this place."Himeko straightened her scarred body and walked against the flow of people toward the deck."There's still a long way to go, right? ... Wish you ... good luck."Himeko raised her head, looked up at the starry sky above, and murmured."I really want to have another drink..."...The roar of air being pierced suddenly came from behind.Sirin turned around in shock and quickly deployed a light shield to block it.It was a crimson flying blade, the secondary weapon of the Vermillion Knight Eclipse."Tsk." Sirin frowned, surprised by this dangerous attack.The light shield hissed and spun, groaning as it neared breaking.It must be dealt with in another way. Sirin told herself—how could a Herrscher be injured twice by a sneak attack!The space transfer began as soon as the light shield broke, and the flying blade shot straight into the hole, passing through Sirin's back, and "bang!" pierced into the giant stone mountain floating in the air.Red-hot light seeped out from the cracks, the flames of the plague melting the rocks."Ha... ha..."Heavy gasps came from the rubble, the sound of metal fragments falling endlessly, and the seriously injured knight staggered."Is your attack... over?"With messy hair, scales covering his body, the dark red glow of Honkai energy in her veins, and the God-killing armor already in tatters, the Vermillion Knight still stood proudly and resolutely raised the sword in her hand."Then... it's my turn next! No objections!"As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Sirin burst into wild laughter, then issued her cold command in an icy voice—"Die."Hundreds of holes spread around Himeko, and cold light flickered through them. They were countless Subspace lances.Himeko held up the Godslayer Sutr, unfolded the still intact driving dorsal wing, and turned on the armor’s recording communication."——Kiana, when you wake up, you'll see that everything has changed. You'll find that this world is no longer beautiful, and those ordinary daily life will never return."In response to Himeko and the armor’s call, the flying blade trembled, pulled out of the mountain, disassembled into parts, and flew over.It assembled on the burning Godslayer, forming a giant blade.The Vermillion Knight Eclipse now switched to 0th power.All the subspace lances were fired, and Himeko swung the giant sword in her hand, sending a raging wave of flames.In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and all the sxubspace lances were burned to ashes by this strike.With fiery eyes, as if to shoot flames, Himeko stared at Sirin tightly, holding the giant sword wrapped in catastrophic fire in her hand."——But, don't give up! Never give up!"Sirin stared at the red-haired knight in front of her in disbelief, anger surging in her chest."Stop standing there," Sirin, angry and embarrassed, ordered the space with her left hand.Two stone pillars appeared out of thin air, completely locking Himeko's body."You are too proud!" She twisted two fingers of her right hand and pulled them back like a bow, shooting out a sharp imaginary pillar.The giant pillar pierced through Himeko's position and hit the outer wall of the stone ship.However, in an instant, a flame flashed, and a violent explosion tore through the giant pillar, almost causing Sirin to stumble."Ahhh!"Murata Himeko shouted, raised the Godslayer Sword above her head, and flew toward Sirin. It's just a human who stole the power of God—how dare she blaspheme the throne!"Get down!" Sirin roared, and two imaginary ribbons flew out, stabbing at the unstoppable Himeko.The giant sword moved down. Himeko held the hilt tightly, the red luster dyeing the sword body, and the blade met, cutting the oncoming ribbon in half. The cut ribbon danced wildly in the wind, the sharp edge kept cutting Himeko's skin, and the blood that kept pouring out floated in the air like foam.Himeko gritted her teeth, trying not to care about the burning pain in her body.The power of the Gem of Haste could not be wasted on meaningless treatment. Flames sprayed from the back wings, and Himeko jumped high, rolling and chopping down with the burning giant sword.The scorching firelight pierced Sirin's eyes. She couldn't believe she was being overwhelmed by the momentum of a human.What a joke! You're just a human!Sirin gathered all the energy in her body, condensed it into a pitch-black imaginary giant gun, and threw it at Himeko with all her strength.As the Godslayer Sword and the spear tip touched, Himeko’s hands trembled.Using the power of the Herrscher for so long with a human body had placed an unimaginable burden on her. But Himeko shouted loudly and forced the dorsal wing to continue advancing.With a powerful thrust, the giant spear actually deformed, like a flexible film that absorbed Himeko deeply.Thick darkness enveloped everything about Himeko.She went deeper and deeper... but the end of the darkness didn’t appear.Her vision gradually blurred, her perception began to fade, and even the pain abandoned her.Himeko’s body finally reached its limit.Is this... the end...Her tired eyes closed uncontrollably, and sleepiness crashed against her numb brain like a tide. The hands holding the sword loosened slightly, the flames gradually extinguished, and the connection with the Gem of Haste was severed.In the dark, it seemed that countless versions of herself were urging her to give up, but in this chaos, a clear voice called out to her."Himeko!"The voice was as childish as a little girl's, but when it called her name, it felt as intimate as an old friend. Himeko was startled and surprised.She opened her eyes.Theresa stood with her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face. Beside her were Mei, Fu Hua, and Bronya.The white-haired girl stood behind her friends and smiled brightly at her."Aunt Himeko, I want to be the strongest Valkyrie!"----Chapter 78: The Final Lesson "Hehehehehe..."The hollow laughter spread unscrupulously through the space. The Queen of Honkai, who claimed to be the apostle of God, emerged from the void.--Imaginary space, the realm of Honkai, the kingdom of the second Herrscher."Do you think you can escape?" The cold, delicate face was no longer filled with the cheerful smile of the past, only the joy of a hunter’s harvest."Kiana..." Himeko’s heart ached. She couldn’t tell whether it was the Honkai eroding her or her own sadness. She didn’t know if the mischievous student sleeping inside the Herrscher was also suffering the same pain.But someone had to put an end to everything, and that person could only be Himeko herself."Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Himeko picked up the Godslayer Sword. Indecision was never her style. The so-called determination had been made the moment she decided to don the Vermillion Knight.Sirin sneered. How shameless! You hurt me once by luck and stolen power, and you dare to provoke me like this!Sirin waved her hand lightly, coldly and clearly. "Are you ready to die?"The irresistible force suddenly seized Himeko's body, forcing her to fly in front of Sirin."Do your best and struggle hard."Sirin waved her hand again, and Himeko, who had been pushed in front of her, was violently shoved back. The huge contrast in acceleration hit her like a heavy punch.At the same time, a square boulder suddenly rose behind Himeko.Under Sirin’s wanton control, Himeko was pressed heavily into the stone without resistance. Two more rising boulders followed, sealing Himeko inside like a closed door.Sirin lifted her hand upward, and the stone immediately carried Himeko into the air.With a snap of her fingers, the boulder cracked and spun like a Rubik's Cube under Sirin’s hands.With another wave of her hand, two imaginary spears floating around Sirin transformed into white-hot lasers, slicing through the stone and Himeko within it, cutting them into four halves.But this was not the end. The remaining two spears turned into tough ribbons, intertwining and twisting into an extremely sharp spear. Sirin slid her index finger upward, and the spear easily pierced the stone Rubik's Cube.With a downward stroke, the spear split, and with a loud bang, the stone shattered into rubble as the spear pierced back."That's all."Sirin raised her eyebrows in boredom and turned back to the boundless void, as if dissatisfied with Himeko’s failure to entertain her....The lower passage of Hyperion's warship, on the eve of the decisive battle.Himeko leaned on the railing outside the medical room, panting. Although her body was overflowing with the power of The Gem of Haste, blood still flowed uncontrollably.People carrying parts were busy between the deck and the walkway. Although the launch of Moonlight Throne had successfully damaged the Herrscher, Hyperion's power reactor had also been heavily damaged. Among those running around were Hyperion crew members, supporters of the Far East Branch, and helpers from Anti-Entropy; some were known to Himeko, some were not; some remembered Himeko, others did not... People who had once been irreconcilable united because of the Herrscher’s appearance.And her students, Fu Hua, the Saint of Anti-Entropy, the Third Herrscher, and--"Although they're all girls who never grow up, I still like this place."Himeko straightened her scarred body and walked against the flow of people to the deck."There's still a long way to go, right?... Wish you... good luck."Himeko raised her head, looked up at the starry sky above her, and murmured. "I really want to have another drink..."... The roar of air being pierced suddenly came from behind.Sirin turned around in shock and hurriedly deployed a light shield to block it.It was a crimson flying blade, the secondary weapon of the Vermillion Knight Eclipse."Tsk." Sirin frowned, surprised by this dangerous strike.The light shield hissed and spun, groaning on the verge of breaking.It must be taken by another way. Sirin told herself. How could a Herrscher be injured twice by a sneak attack?The space transfer began the moment the light shield shattered. The flying blade shot through the hole, passing through Sirin’s back and "bang," piercing into the giant stone mountain floating in the air. Red-hot light seeped out from the cracks, flames melting the rocks."Ha... ha..." Heavy gasps came from the rubble, the sound of metal fragments falling endlessly. The seriously injured knight staggered."Is your attack... over?"With messy hair, scars covering her body, the dark red glow of the Honkai energy coursing through his veins, and her Godsbane Battlesuit already in tatters, the Vermillion Knight still stood proudly, resolutely raising the sword in her hand."Then... it’s my turn next! No objection!"As if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, Sirin burst into laughter, then issued her ruthless command in an extremely cold voice. "Die."Hundreds of holes appeared around Himeko, and dots of cold light shone from them. They were countless subspace lances.Himeko set up the Godslayer Sword, unfolded the still-intact back wing, and activated the armor's recording communication."——Kiana, when you wake up, you’ll see that everything has changed. You’ll find that this world is no longer beautiful, and those ordinary daily lives will never return."In response to Himeko's call and the armor’s command, the flying blade trembled and was pulled from the mountain. The parts flew over, assembling onto the burning Godslayer Sword to form a giant blade.The Vermillion Knight Eclipse was now switched to 0th power.All the subspace lances were fired, and Himeko swung the giant sword in her hand, creating a huge wave of raging flames.In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and all the Subspace lances were burned to ashes under this blow.With fiery eyes that seemed to shoot flames, Himeko stared at Sirin tightly, holding the giant sword wrapped in catastrophe fire in her hand."——But, don’t give up! Never give up!"Sirin stared at the red-haired knight in front of her in disbelief, anger surging in her chest."Stop standing there!" Sirin, angry and embarrassed, ordered the space with her left hand. Two stone pillars appeared out of thin air, completely locking Himeko’s body. "You’re too proud!"She twisted two fingers of her right hand and pulled back like a bow, shooting out a sharp imaginary pillar.The giant pillar undoubtedly pierced through Himeko's position and hit the outer wall of the stone ship.However, in an instant, a flame flashed, and a violent explosion tore the giant pillar apart, almost causing Sirin to stumble."Ah ah ah ah!"Murata Himeko shouted, raised the Godslayer Sword above her head, and flew toward Sirin.It's just a human who stole the power of God; how dare she blaspheme my throne!"Get down!" Sirin roared, and two imaginary ribbons flew out, stabbing at the unstoppable Himeko. The giant sword moved downward as Himeko held the hilt tightly. The red luster dyed the sword body, and the blade met the ribbons, cutting them in half. The severed ribbons danced wildly in the wind, the sharp edges cutting Himeko's skin, and the blood that poured out floated in the air like foam.Himeko gritted her teeth and tried her best not to care about the burning pain in her body.The power of the Gem of Haste could not be wasted on meaningless treatment. Flames sprayed out from the back wings as Himeko jumped high, rolled, and chopped down with the burning giant sword.The scorching firelight pierced Sirin's eyes. She couldn't believe that she would be overwhelmed by the momentum of a human.What a joke! She's just a human!Sirin gathered all the energy in her body, condensing it into a pitch-black imaginary giant spear, and threw it at Himeko with all her strength.As the Godslayer Sword and the spear tip touched, Himeko's hands trembled constantly.Using the power of the Herrscher for a long time with a human body brought an unimaginable burden to her body.But Himeko shouted loudly and forced the dorsal wing to continue to advance. With this strong thrust, the giant spear actually deformed, like a flexible film that absorbed Himeko deeply.The thick darkness enveloped everything about Himeko.She went deeper and deeper, but the end of the darkness did not appear.Her vision was gradually blurring, her perception began to fade, and even the pain abandoned her. Himeko's body finally reached its limit.Is this... the end?Her tired eyes closed uncontrollably, and sleepiness battered her numb brain like a tide. The hands holding the sword loosened bit by bit. The flames gradually extinguished, and the connection with the Gem of Haste was cut off.In the dark, countless voices were persuading her to give up.But in the chaos, a clear voice called to her."Himeko!"The voice was as tender as a little girl's, but it carried the intimacy of an old friend. Himeko was startled and opened her eyes in surprise.Theresa stood with her hands on her hips, smirking. Beside her were Mei, Fu Hua, and Bronya.The white-haired girl stood behind her friends, smiling brightly at her. "Aunt Himeko, I want to be the strongest Valkyrie!"No! It's not enough! I've already told Kiana that, how can I give up first?Absolutely— I will never give up on you!Hot tears flowed down Himeko's cheeks, and fierce flames gushed from the back wings. Even the embedded soulium shattered. Himeko summoned all her strength to ignite the Godslayer Sutr once more."—Kiana, raise your head and keep moving forward! Go and turn this imperfect story into what we expect!"Like a shining meteor streaking across the sky, the sphere transformed by the imaginary giant spear exploded and burned in a white flash.It was as though the wrath of heaven descended, and Himeko fell from the sky with a blazing flame that burned the heavens."Damn it!" Sirin screamed unwillingly at the roaring Himeko.This attack almost ignited the entire space. At this moment, even the power of the Herrscher of the Void was eclipsed.Ah... am I going to... lose to humans again?It’s so hot... my body is so hot...Although every breath felt as painful as burning, Sirin couldn’t help but gasp, and her heart pounded wildly in fear.I’m... not dead?Her brain, stagnant with fear, began to work again, and Sirin was surprised to find that the giant sword that should have pierced her had instead been inserted behind her, supporting the steaming Murata Himeko.The red armor faded under the high temperature, a strand of hair slipped from her shoulder. Himeko's eyes were half open, her pupils dim, like two burnt ashes.It seemed that she had been burned by an uncontrollable force.Sirin breathed a sigh of relief. Humans are just humans after all.But the whispering voice suddenly sounded in her ears, making Sirin break out in a cold sweat once again."Survive... Kiana, this is... the final... lesson."Himeko's lips moved, imparting her final advice to her student.Amidst the whispers, the scarred sword finally broke into pieces.Murata Himeko fell as she gave her most mischievous student a final hug and slowly fell onto Sirin's shoulder.She was obviously not injured, why... why does my heart hurt so much?The white-haired girl in my mind began to stir again.Was it that sentence that aroused her consciousness?Ah, hypocritical human, do you still play like this when you are about to die?"You——"Sirin frowned in disgust, using all her remaining strength to push Himeko, who was approaching her, away.Get out of my way!Srin was about to say this, but she saw that a smile was on Himeko's lips.The syringe lock was released, and the "Godslaying Spear" was injected into Sirin's body at that moment.An electric current flowed through her body, and the intense burning pain swept through her entirely."Uh ah ah ah ah——"Sirin screamed in pain, and the Honkai energy inside her body ran uncontrollably, turning into black and red light spots that burst out."No, no, no, no, my power, the power given to me by God! Don’t take my power away!"Consciousness faded, and Sirin could feel her body slipping out of her control inch by inch."Are you going back to that place again? I don’t want to go, it’s so dark there."The stone ship began to collapse, and the broken stones fell with a rustling sound.Without the creator’s support, this unreasonable world had only one ending: destruction.The black clouds dissipated, and the blue sky seemed like the eyes of that girl— pure and bright.Only the sleeping Himeko, like a withered rose, fell alone and eternally, accompanied by the fragments of the world.Seeing this scene, the three Valkyries burst into tears, and the other viewers were completely stunned.The chat area was quiet for a long time.Finally, Pardo interrupted the silence."Cat and Cat: Wuwuwuwu, what happened to the happy ending? What’s going on? Himeko, what happened to Himeko!!!"Chapter 79: If I die, will all this not happen?After seeing Pardo's speech, Xiyue also stared blankly at the last scene of the game plot.She didn't click in, nor did she end the livestream at the speed of light like before. She didn't explain anything to everyone, but stared blankly at her phone.After traveling to the world of Honkai, interacting with the people there, and establishing deep friendships, she saw this plot again. The shock she felt was unimaginable.It made Xiyue very dazed.The animated shor Final Lesson—Xiyue had watched it many times in her previous life. Every time she heard Himeko's voice and watched Himeko's animation, she wanted to cry, because she had different feelings about Himeko's character.When she first got into the game, the first Himeko given by the devs was Battle Storm, but she was a clumsy player and didn't understand how to play it. In addition, she didn't like big swords and felt that it was not cool at all.She just ignored it and indulged in the pleasure of Mei holding the katana to chop people.The characterization of this character was also unclear. After all, there were too few scenes of Himeko in the first seven chapters, and she didn’t understand the significance of Himeko’s existence as a Valkyrie.When she was playing the next years, she used Himeko’s Valkyrie Triumph, complaining about it for a while. She didn’t understand why she didn’t use Mei’s Lightning Empress, but a character with poor operational feel?However, all these impressions changed starting from the seventh chapter.She began to slowly understand Murata Himeko and all her plots and gradually understood the greatness and brilliance of this Valkyrie.After the Final Lesson was live, it was unknown whether Himeko was alive or dead.In the later plot, she found out the meaning of all the Herrschers in the Far East Demon Cave.Then she turned around and looked at Himeko. She realized that among the entire group in Saint Freya, only Himeko was mortal—an ordinary person.Without a deep background, she was overdrawing her life in every battle. Although she was not much older than Kiana and the others, every student in St. Freya College admired her. Even the naughty Kiana would be obedient in front of her.From the plot in the manga and some descriptions in the game, we know that Himeko is a top student with a doctorate. In order to find out the truth about her parents' death, she resolutely stepped into the battlefield of Honkai, participated in the first artificial stigma experiment, joined the famous Stormtroopers, and fought on the front line.She dedicated her most beautiful moments to the great mission of fighting Honkai in her youth.Finally, due to her injuries, she had only a few years to live. When all her comrades died and she was left alone, she was invited by Theresa to join this special Academy.When she saw the youth of St. Freya Academy with smiles that belonged to their original age, she vowed to protect their smiles.Then she understood that this teacher was always drunk because only drunkenness could make her forget the tiredness in her heart.Because only being single could hide the softness in one's heart.Because only with an unyielding will could one kill gods with a mortal body.She is lonely, and there is a generation gap between her and the students. She is also fragile. She does not have the ability of a student’s Herrscher, nor does she have backing.Her soul might be lonely, but this tenacious will among mortals is the brightest light of mankind!At this time, Xiyue’s mind also recalled the scene of her getting along with Himeko. She came to this strange and familiar world, and Himeko was the first person to bring her warmth.The feeling of real contact, not just across the screen, is different.After collecting her thoughts, Xiyue's eyes became firm.This scene will never happen again in reality. She will definitely change the original plot. What's more, Himeko and Kiana know what will happen in the future in advance, and Xiyue does not believe that the tragedy will happen again.Even if the timeline is corrected again, or Otto has a backup plan. She will never let Himeko die!If she can't even change this plot, then what's the point of her coming to this world?While thinking, Xiyue regained her focus and turned her attention to the chat. Now, the most important thing was to see the audience's reaction.These people will definitely cry their hearts out after seeing this plot.Hehe.Don't blame me, blame a certain company!It's because of this company that she, a simple and lovely girl with a heart full of love, was turned into a deck cleaner! This is not her fault, blame the world, blame MiHoYo!"Cat Cat: What loving, beautiful, perfect plot---go to hell! I am so sad. Himeko sacrificed herself to wake up Kiana? Woohoo, this is not the plot I want, not what I want. Woohoo, Boss Yuexi, you are not a human!"After watching the Final Lesson, Pardo collapsed. She hugged a big orange cat in her arms and buried her little face in the orange cat's body. Tears gradually wet the soft fur of the orange cat, and Pardo's mind continued to emerge.The last scene of Himeko awakening Kiana repeatedly reflected the image of Himeko falling. Although Pardo had witnessed many things in Dusk Street, she was still, at her core, just a 16-year-old girl.When faced with this kind of plot, Pardo, who had been watching the live broadcast all along, truly couldn't accept it.It was like us back when we were teenagers, unable to accept the plot of The Last Lesson, and being broken by it."Want to Buy an Island: The Last Lesson, The Last Lesson... the title already explains a lot. Himeko Mutata is truly a great warrior and an excellent teacher. She had a chance to kill the Herrscher of the Void, but she didn’t."Raven saw the Herrscher of the Void defeated, but she didn’t feel any joy. Thinking back to Himeko’s final attack, she realized that Himeko hadn’t killed the Herrscher of the Void, even with the full firepower of the Godsbane Battlesuit. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell why.Raven sighed heavily as she thought about Himeko Mutata."Himeko Mutata, you have always been a hopeful person!""I really envy Kiana and the others for having a teacher like you."After sighing, Raven’s eyes turned to Himeko's photo in the information."Miss Elf: Go and turn this imperfect story into what you expect. Live on, Kiana, this is the Final Lesson! Um, I’ll remember this sentence forever. Having such a teacher, wuwuwu, Kiana and the others are so lucky! Yuexi, little cutie, I just want to ask, is Himeko really dead? Did she really die like this?"As a battle-hardened warrior, Elysia had seen too much joy and sorrow, but seeing Himeko sacrifice herself to awaken Kiana, she felt deeply unsettled. Already emotional, tears welled up in her eyes.She hugged Mobius tightly around the waist and buried her head in Mobius’s chest.Looking at Elysia in her arms, Mobius noticed the wetness on her chest and shook her head helplessly.As a seasoned warrior, how could she not control her emotions?Yet, remembering how Elysia had always been like this, she shook her head in resignation.It was because of this that Mobius didn’t resist her contact. She reached out and gently rubbed Elysia's hair.Elysia felt comforted and raised her head from Mobius’s chest, asking through red eyes filled with tears."Mobius, is Himeko really dead? Did she really die like this?"Seeing this, Mobius wanted to say something harsh, but when she saw Elysia’s tears, she paused, thought for a moment, and then replied softly."If their lives are really made into a game, or in some time and space, they are just a game, then this short story will draw many people in. Murata Himeko will also be loved by many. So, based on how game companies work, it's highly likely that such an important character won’t be allowed to die. She’ll definitely appear in later plots."After saying this, Mobius stopped and looked into Elysia’s eyes, which were slowly beginning to shine. She continued."Even if this game really kills Himeko, it’s just a game, just a livestream. We are the reality. Whether it's our era or theirs, it means the plot in the game didn’t happen. We know what will happen in the future in advance, just from watching the livestream.""Elysia, do you think the tragedy in the plot will happen again?"Mobius analyzed the situation rationally. Elysia listened to Mobius’s words, and the light in her eyes gradually returned. She hugged Mobius again and asked,"Will they change?""Do you think they will?" Mobius asked in return."Of course they will!"...After seeing the Final Lesson, Durandal felt deeply conflicted.She saw that Himeko could have killed the Herrscher of the Void in the end, but she didn’t. Instead, she gave the serum that should have been for herself to Kiana, letting her survive.Durandal’s mood was complicated. She knew that after this, Kiana would definitely defeat the Herrscher consciousness and regain control of her body, meaning Otto’s plan had succeeded.But Durandal didn’t feel happy.As someone with a strong sense of justice, she couldn’t accept this.She recalled the first time she saw Himeko in kindergarten, and remembered what Himeko had said to her.In the end, all the thoughts turned into a heavy sigh.After Fu Hua finished watching the Final Lesson, she said nothing.She just stood there, letting the cold wind hit her face.From what Otto had said to her in the plot, using love to kill the Herrscher meant that the Herrscher of the Void had to use Kiana’s body to kill someone very important to her. In the conversation, Otto had chosen Theresa as the target. Once Kiana's important person was killed, it would stimulate Kiana’s emotions, and she would become a human with the power of the Herrscher.If Kiana successfully masters the power of the Herrscher, it would be much easier to control her than the Herrscher itself.This was all part of Otto’s plan.Thinking of this, Fu Hua could no longer control her emotionsEverything was completely different from what Otto had told her!Standing on the top of a tall building, Fu Hua pictured Otto’s face in her mind. A plan finally solidified in her thoughts, and she made up her mind.But before that, there was one more important thing she had to do.Fu Hua looked at the Hyperion, floating above St. Freya Academy, and her body equipped the Shadow Knight. She moved towards the Hyperion.What would the protagonists of the story do?On the Hyperion, Kiana and Mei had already burst into tears.They had let go of the hand holding Himeko and then hugged her tightly again. Kiana, in particular, shrank into Himeko's arms, buried her face in her chest, and sobbed uncontrollably.Because she lacked an emotional system, Bronya didn’t express herself on her face, but the constant stream of tears revealed that she was very sad at that moment.Mei holding Himeko’s arm didn’t cry as loudly as Kiana, but her eyes were red with tears.Among the three, Kiana was the most distraught and filled with self-blame. She hugged Himeko tightly, feeling the warmth of her body, and feared that she would never feel such warmth again. She feared that Himeko would close her eyes and disappear into the void, just as in the live broadcast."Wuwuwu, Aunt Himeko, Aunt Himeko, wuwuwu, it's all my fault, my fault.""It's all because of me. If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened. Everyone is suffering because of me. Aunt Himeko, you wouldn't have..."Kiana couldn’t finish the sentence. She cried, her sorrow endless.Kiana had felt something was wrong when Himeko asked Tesla to complete the Godslaying Spear.After all, she wasn’t stupid; she just didn’t want to think in such a warm, happy, and pampered environment.From that moment on, she had a bad premonition in her heart, but when Himeko donned the Vermillion Knight Eclipse and faced the dragon and the Herrscher of the Void alone, her uneasiness reached its peak.When Himeko fought the Herrscher of the Sky for the last time, everything Himeko did and said confirmed Kiana’s unease.Kiana collapsed when she saw Himeko, covered in scars, fall into the abyss.She recalled everything that everyone had done for her after her capture. She couldn’t forgive herself. She couldn’t understand how someone like her could be loved by so many people.But she had hurt them deeply. Even though the Herrscher was inside her, she was still the cause.She was full of self-blame and regret.If... if she hadn’t come to Nagazora City to find her father according to Otto's plan, if she hadn't met Mei and Bronya, if she hadn't been brought to St. Freya Academy by Himeko, then Otto's plan wouldn’t have been set in motion.Then Mei and Himeko wouldn’t have been hurt because of her, and Himeko wouldn’t have had to sacrifice herself to wake her up.If she died, wouldn’t everything in the future be prevented?Kiana cried miserably, her self-blame pushing her mind into overdrive. She didn’t realize she was spiraling into a dead end, and her blue eyes began to reflect a sense of despair.She murmured to herself again. "If I die, then won’t all of this stop from happening?"---Chapter 80: Pardofelis, I Found You!Himeko looked at the three little ones crying in her arms. Her golden eyes were filled with emotion.Watching her own short film, she was also full of emotion, but she was not surprised by what she had done. However, seeing Kiana's reaction, she knew it had been worth it.She and Theresa had known Kiana's true identity for a long time, but what harm was there?From the moment Kiana joined St. Freya's Academy, Kiana had only one identity in their hearts: a student of St. Freya's Academy, a student of hers, Murata Himeko!As a teacher, she had the responsibility and obligation to protect her students.A gentle smile appeared on her face as she rubbed Kiana's little head, but when she heard Kiana's words and constant self-blame, she realized that this foolish girl was getting stuck in a dead end again.Reaching out, she propped up Kiana in her arms, looked at Kiana's tearful, self-blaming face, and pinched that little face, just as she always did."Stupid, what's wrong with you?""Don't think too much. I'm fine now, right? Didn't the things from the livestream not happen yet?""If something like that really happens, it will be my own will.""You are Himeko Murata's student, Kiana."Himeko's words gradually dissipated Kiana's overwhelming feelings of despair.Kiana raised her swollen face, with tears still falling, and looked at Himeko's gentle face. She recalled the plot just now in her mind again, still crying."But... but..."Himeko saw this and knew what Kiana wanted to say, so she interrupted her and continued speaking."Okay, Kiana, I know what you want to say.""But it's not your fault. Not to mention, it hasn't happened yet. What we need to do now is stop Otto's plan.""Got it?"At this point, Himeko thought of something and said to the three little ones."For this, I need to intensify your special training. Your performance in the game really disappointed me!"Hearing Himeko's words, the three people, who were still sad, were slightly stunned. Kiana, especially, stared at Himeko blankly.Seeing that Himeko's face didn’t seem to be joking, Kiana thought of something and spoke subconsciously."Aunt Himeko, isn't it summer vacation now?"Himeko looked at the reaction of the three little ones, her mouth curling into a slight smile. Her goal had been achieved.After being a teacher for so many years, did they think she didn't know how to divert their attention?"Summer vacation is for better training!"Himeko said this with a smile, and then the three little ones, especially Kiana, were stunned.But remembering that the plot in the game was something that might happen in the future, Kiana made up her mind.She wanted to become stronger!She wanted to become so strong that she could defeat Durandal and the villain Otto.This way, the hateful Herrscher consciousness wouldn’t occupy her body, and Himeko wouldn’t have to sacrifice herself for her.At this moment, Kiana was determined to become stronger.Seeing the three little ones gradually recovering their normal emotions, Himeko looked at Theresa behind them. Theresa’s condition at this time wasn’t much better than the three little ones.The tear-stained little face noticed Himeko's gaze and hurriedly turned away, wiping her tears with her sleeve.She didn’t want Himeko to see her crying like Kiana and the others. She was an adult; how could she cry like Kiana?Where was the dignity of the dean?Himeko saw Theresa's little action and smiled knowingly. She understood why Theresa did that, but she was relieved to see this scene.She knew that Theresa had made a decision.At this point, Having wiped away her tears, Theresa looked at Himeko again. Looking at the three little ones holding her, and recalling the plot in the live broadcast room, her blue eyes turned firm. She spoke to Himeko."Himeko, we should be prepared!""For me, for you, for them, and for St. Freya Academy!"...And the queen in Kiana's consciousness, watching the short story and seeing what Himeko had done for Kiana, believed it, but she couldn’t bring herself to accept it."Impossible, this is impossible, absolutely impossible.""How could a dirty, evil, and disgusting human do this!""This is fake. It must be fake. Don't try to deceive me. Despicable and hypocritical humans wouldn’t do this."Sirin shouted in the consciousness space, holding her face with both hands. She kept backing away, trying to push away what she had seen.Because she had never seen the hope, she couldn’t understand and refused to believe that Himeko would sacrifice herself for Kiana.She didn’t believe that human nature could be so dazzling.So, she began to escape and refused to believe, but what she couldn’t hide was that her heart started to waver because of this short story....Xiyue looked at the crazy comments of the audience.As she was thinking about how to respond, she suddenly saw Yae Sakura's doubts."Sakura: From Otto's plan, his goal is only one: to make the Herrscher of the Void kill the person Kiana loves the most, then defeat Sirin, and become a human with the power of the Herrscher. Then I have a question: in the last battle, Kiana could have been awakened directly with the Godslaying Spear. So why must Himeko sacrifice herself?"Seeing Yae Sakura's doubts, Xiyue smiled knowingly. Xiaoba's doubts were shared by most of their players at that time."You can obviously choose the serum, so why must Himeko sacrifice?""Although it's very touching, I don't understand."This question also puzzled young people like Pardo and Kiana.When Xiyue was about to explain, she noticed Dr. Mei had already provided an answer."Research Girl: This is actually very easy to understand. From the previous plot, we can see that Kiana, or K423, has lived her life from birth to entering St. Freya Academy, and finally awakening to become a Herrscher. It seemed like she was living freely, but in reality, everything was part of Otto's plan. In other words, her happy experiences and even her own existence were all fabricated. This is the first truth Kiana will face when she wakes up.""Research Girl: However, Murata Himeko proved to her that even if everything before was false, the bond between them is real, and the love they give her is something she should cherish. Don't forget, Sirin's past was also tragic. Although I don't know the details, the birth of the Herrscher of the Void was tragic. It too was linked to Otto's human experiments. Because of that, Sirin cannot be redeemed and is filled with hatred. Even if she is suppressed by the serum, she will wait for an opportunity to counterattack.""Research Girl: But Murata Himeko changed all that. She didn't come to the Herrscher of the Void to harm her, but to save her. Saving others doesn't rely on words alone, it requires action and sacrifice. Murata Himeko's sacrifice was the price of salvation."In in the ward, Dr. Mei was shocked after reading the short story.But in addition to her shock, she reflected on the meaning of the plot.Eventually, she found the answer she had been looking for—the most brilliant side of human nature.But she also knew deeply that this plan would never occur in her era.The Herrscher of her time and humans can never reconcile. This is something Fire Moth has learned the hard way through the five Honkai Eruptions.Therefore, Otto's plan may seem desirable, but in reality, it is not very effective.However, she was also very curious about the next part of the plot—what would happen to Kiana after regaining control of her body?Seeing Dr. Mei's explanation, the doubts in Pardo's heart were gradually resolved.What more could Xiyue say after Dr. Mei’s explanation?This was Dr. Mei, the greatest scientist of the previous era—she could see that these were not ordinary matters.However, Xiyue felt that she still needed to maintain her presence, so she spoke to the audience."Research Girl's interpretation is correct. Let me explain the title of the short animation!""In fact, there is a reason for choosing the Final Lesson. As everyone can see, with Kiana’s character, when she wakes up, even if she realizes it wasn’t her own will, she will fall into deep self-blame.""And Himeko took this into consideration. That’s why the title and the words Himeko said to Kiana in the plot were 'The Final lesson.'""She want to tell Kiana that burning her limited life is not to fight with her, but to teach this final lesson to her students. She wanted to remind Kiana that none of this is her fault, it’s not her fault.""Just as Himeko said in the final lines of the short story: 'Go to this imperfect story, transform it into what you desire, and fight for all that is good!'""This is the message this short story wants to convey to us."As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, the chat exploded with reactions. "Cat Cat: Woohoo, Himeko is so great. It's a blessing that Kiana can have such an amazing teacher like Himeko. Damn Herrscher of the Void, damn Otto. They deserve to die!""Want to Buy an Island: So, Yuexi, can you tell us whether Himeko is dead or not?""Dudu: I want to ask the same question.""Miss Elf: She must not be dead. Definitely not. Such a great teacher—how could the game maker let her die?""Sakura: Please tell us."Xiyue looked at the chat asking if Himeko was dead, her face contorted in hesitation.Of course, she knew Himeko was really dead, and she would even be dragged out for a big confrontation in the next chapter.She wanted to tell everyone the truth, but she thought about the conversation between Himeko and Kiana later.Xiyue decided not to reveal the truth. Now that she knew, how could she look forward to the plot later?She also swore that Mihoyo would not kill Himeko off the game; Himeko could not be dead.Then, she was slapped in the face.She couldn’t bear to experience that uncomfortable feeling alone.Absolutely not!For that reason, she had no hesitation in lying!"As for whether Himeko is dead or not, I don’t know either.""But personally, I believe Himeko is not dead, and I’m confident Himeko is not dead."Upon hearing Xiyue's words, the audience responded."Cat Cat: Really? Boss Yuexi, don’t lie to me. You've lied to me so many times. If you lie to me again, I’ll wish you no luck in drawing in the gacha!""Want to Buy an Island: Why does what you say become less credible every time?""Miss Elf: Yuexi has lied to us so many times. You're accumulating punishments! If you lie again, hehe~""I Don't Want to Take the Exam: If you lie again, I’ll use my double guns to teach you a lesson.""Dudu: I don’t feel any credibility at all."Seeing these responses, Xiyue couldn’t help but panic. How could she lie to them?The plot of this game is so "loving" and "beautiful" with a happy ending. It’s just that the reunion is a bit short, but it’s still a reunion, not a lie.Seeing her trust crisis, Xiyue hurriedly made another firm statement."This time, it's real!""If I lie to you again, I will live-stream and accept your punishment in person!""The system will be a witness."What Xiyue didn’t know was that when she said this, the audience received a system prompt in their hearts at that very moment.[Anchor bounty: If the anchor deceives the audience again, they will receive a chance to punish the anchor.][Task time: None.][Task reward: The audience inputs punishment conditions in the system interface, and the anchor will not show their face and will be punished live.][Condition atmosphere: within a positive and healthy range.]Seeing this, the audience's eyes lit up, all looking forward to the next live broadcast. Whether Yuexi really didn’t lie or lied again, with this bounty task, they would make a profit.But Xiyue had no idea that the system had granted the audience this opportunity.At this moment, she happily ended the live broadcast.Who doesn’t know how to brag? Anyway, these people can’t find her."Okay, wait and see.""Today's live broadcast ends here, see you next time~"With that, she closed the live broadcast room, quickly dressed, and rushed to the Hyperion.She needed to hurry because Kiana and the others who had watched the live broadcast would definitely take action.She didn’t want to miss it.While Xiyue rushed to the Hyperion, Elysia and Mobius also arrived at their destination, Sundown Alley.Following Fire Moth’s intelligence, they reached the port of Sundown Alley—the place where Pardo often sunbathed.Elysia scanned the bustling port with bright eyes, then saw a slender girl lying on a high platform by the port, holding a few large cats, gazing at the port under the sunset.Upon clearly seeing the girl's face, Elysia’s eyes lit up. She loosened her arms around Mobius and quickly ran toward the girl.Soon, she jumped up and appeared in front of the girl, smiling at her."Pardofelis, I found you!"At the same time, a system voice sounded in her mind.[Successfully changed the original plot, change rate: 1%.][Task completed.][Task reward: offline anchor face-to-face one-day trip.]
