Aiyin and Tesla turned their attention back to Elysia's livestream.
The mood of the viewers in the livestream chat gradually recovered from the excitement of the "Queen's Descent" CG.
After all.
Mei herself had said that the main story of Chapter Nine would be even more exciting!
However, they didn't seem to notice that Mei had phrased it as a question.
It seemed no one had noticed her uncertain tone, or perhaps, they had noticed but didn't care?
Getting back to the main point, after a short break, Elysia officially began Chapter Nine of the main story, "Journey to Tomorrow."
The main story started by connecting with "Queen's Descent," where, under Theresa's leadership, Raiden Mei and Bronya fought together against the Herrscher of the Void.
In between, there was also a plot point where Theresa intended to rise to the occasion, only to face-plant at light speed.
It was worth mentioning that, possibly to entice players to spend money and pull for the Queen, during this segment where the protagonist team gets thrashed…
The players controlled the Herrscher of the Void.
[miHoYo is simply diabolical, actually making us control the Herrscher to beat up Theresa the Silly.]
[Why does my world's cutest Theresa have to get owned again? Oh, wait, I did it myself. Never mind then.]
[Based on the current plot, an S-rank Valkyrie's combat power is equivalent to a Herrscher's. The Herrscher of the Void is clearly stronger than an average Herrscher, so it's not surprising that Theresa couldn't defeat her.]
"..."
"It really is a bit hard to bring myself to do it."
As Elysia spoke, as soon as the energy bar was full enough to activate her ultimate, she immediately tapped it.
On the game screen, the Herrscher of the Void soared into the air, and spatial rifts appeared behind her one after another.
The Queen, in her majestic voice, delivered that classic line: "Now is the time, for judgment~☆"
The next moment, an incredibly dense barrage of fire erupted from the spatial rifts.
Seeing this scene, the bullet comments that had just been roasting Theresa instantly changed their tune.
[It's this move! The snap + ultimate, it's exactly like the CG!]
[To think they made it so faithful… Honestly, this is the first time I've seen a game company this dedicated.]
[In short, miHoYo is awesome!]
...
Amidst the discussions of the viewers in the livestream, the plot continued.
The Herrscher of the Void's power was far beyond what Theresa and the others could confront.
They were defeated one by one; even the Gem of Conquest, containing the power of the Herrscher of Thunder within Mei's body, was extracted by the Herrscher of the Void.
Of course, throughout the entire process, as the renowned "Herrscher of Taunts."
The Herrscher of the Void naturally couldn't resist spewing a ton of smug pronouncements.
She was practically the Gilgamesh of Honkai Impact 3rd.
This continued until Fu Hua descended from the sky and joined the battle.
At this point, a small section of the Chapter Nine stages came to an end.
The scriptwriter clearly understood the essence of cliffhangers, always ending them at points that left players itching for more.
They couldn't control their hands, clearing one stage after another.
"I told you, even though Hua can be a bit dorky sometimes, there's no way she could be a bad person."
Elysia referred to Fu Hua as "Hua," but the audience, engrossed in the plot, didn't notice this.
"Speaking of which..."
Hua and Mei had both become characters in the game; it felt like experiencing another life.
It was very interesting, making her feel a bit eager herself.
If she also became a character in Honkai Impact 3rd, what kind of character would she be?
She was really curious.
But Hua and Mei were miHoYo employees, which was how they could put themselves into Honkai Impact 3rd. As for her…
At this moment, because Elysia hadn't clicked anything for a while, question marks had already started flooding the bullet comments.
"Airi? What's wrong?" Mei prompted on behalf of the audience.
"Err~~ Let's continue the main story~~"
Elysia gathered her drifting thoughts and focused on the plot.
Although Fu Hua had come to rescue Theresa and the others.
Unfortunately, the Herrscher of the Void was too strong. Even with Fu Hua and Theresa teaming up, they were still no match.
However, what surprised everyone was that Otto actually intervened and saved them all.
One had to remember that in the previous story, Otto was unequivocally the main villain; he had even personally awakened the Herrscher of the Void.
"Otto doesn't seem like such a kind person. I suspect a conspiracy."
Elysia made such a judgment.
She never expected, however, that the subsequent plot development would still completely exceed her expectations.
Following Otto's line—
"Immortal Phoenix, I did not lie."
Bang!
Fu Hua, who had just managed to clear her name, was shot in the head by Otto.
Elysia: ???
[The Class Rep was just killed by Otto like that?!]
[Otto! If you have guts, show your health bar!]
[I've figured it out. Looking at the entire main story, Otto has hardly done a single decent deed! Why even call him Otto? Let's call him Dog Tuo!]
The players' anger towards Otto almost overflowed from the screen.
[Based on my experience, with a villain portrayal like Otto's, he definitely won't die without several dozens of main story chapters of buildup.]
[Dozens of chapters it is then! If Dog Tuo doesn't die, I'm not quitting the game! I will definitely wait until the day Dog Tuo gets crushed. When that happens, I'm opening champagne to celebrate!]
[Open champagne +1]
[Open champagne +10086]
Fortunately, the perspective shifted to Himeko's side, and Fu Hua reappeared, slightly placating the players' anger.
After progressing through another segment of the main story.
Himeko obtained the latest battlesuit, Vermilion Knight: Eclipse, which was also released with this update.
At this time, some people were already starting to guess the upcoming plot.
[This new battlesuit must be really strong, able to obliterate the Herrscher of the Void, and then attract players to spend money.]
[Hmph hmph, I've already seen through miHoYo!]
[GKD, as a Himeko fan, I want to see Himeko's highlight moment!]
The subsequent plot indeed seemed to unfold as this player predicted.
The Herrscher of the Void, whom no one could previously defeat, was injured by Himeko, empowered by Vermilion Knight: Eclipse.
The two even fought back and forth, and ultimately, the Herrscher of the Void was repelled by Einstein, who controlled the Moonlight Throne.
But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the battle was finally over.
The final short segment of the plot appeared.
Even more, a sorrowful BGM brought a sense of foreboding.
Himeko held a serum in her hand capable of healing her body, recalling her years as a Valkyrie, her heart filled with countless emotions.
"This time, things have really gotten out of hand, huh."
A piercing alarm sounded, making people feel even more uneasy.
"Alright, time to go out and get some fresh air."
Himeko straightened up and strode forward, moving against the flow of people.
"Even though they're all a bunch of kids who won't grow up, I quite like them. There's still a long road ahead for you all, I suppose…"
"Good luck to you."
The screen gradually faded to black.
Finally, Himeko's voice was heard: "I really want... to have another drink."
The scene ended there.
[Miss Elf, whatever you do, don't watch the next CG!]
A wave of viewers who had just finished the main story suddenly flooded into the livestream chat.
[If it were any other streamer, I'd egg them on to watch it, but Miss Elf, you're different. Listen to my advice, absolutely do not watch it!]
[Screw your healthy, positive, and uplifting! I actually believed miHoYo's nonsense!]
