Chapter 259 Kiana: What do you mean? I'm not worthy of being the Herrscher of Finality, is that it?
Although Su Mu often said things that sounded strange, Theresa felt that Su Mu's words carried a hidden meaning this time. However, she didn't continue to press him.
Because Su Mu wouldn't explain anyway; whenever it involves the game's plot, Su Mu has always been extremely tight-lipped. Except for those times when he intentionally leaks a little news to whet the players' appetites—this was a common tactic of his.
Theresa was also a victim of this. After all, she was a loyal player of Honkai Impact 3rd, and in being tortured by Su Mu, she was no different from ordinary players.
No, rather... it was even more frustrating for her than for ordinary players.
Anyway, even if this guy didn't speak, she could find the answers in the game later—this guy was just like that character in "HOMU Sea King," saying things like "I left all my treasures in the game, go find them!" A single sentence had directly started a "Great Voyage Era"... this strange sense of déjà vu was quite enough.
As the game plot continued.
The three Pseudo-Herrschers sent by Sirin wreaked havoc across three cities, leaving the populace in unspeakable misery.
As organizations fighting the Honkai, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy quickly responded—Schicksal's strongest A-rank Valkyrie, Cheng Lixue, went to assist Nicola and informed her that Otto would be convening a Valkyrie meeting.
Cecilia also received orders from Otto to be ready for battle at any time.
Seeing this scene, both Sirin's and Kiana's eyes flickered. They both knew very well that Cecilia died on the battlefield of the Second Eruption.
"Mom..."
Sirin couldn't help but clench her small fists, her palms covered in sweat. She prayed that it wouldn't be her who personally killed Cecilia... but she also understood that Cecilia's death was definitely inextricably linked to her.
As the game perspective shifted to Schicksal HQ, Otto was monitoring the movements of the three Pseudo-Herrschers via satellite.
The Honkai energy reaction intensity of these three Pseudo-Herrschers was more than fifty percent of the Second Herrscher's. A-rank Valkyries could only stall for time and were no match for them.
And more than that, what concerned Otto most was the Pseudo-Herrscher who brought death...
At that moment, as several golden feathers drifted down, a figure appeared behind Otto.
That figure... was none other than Fu Hua!
"Whoa! I remember now! The Herrscher of the Void in the main story said that 'Old Timer' once fought her... so Old Timer really participated in the battles of the Second Eruption!"
Sentience couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. After all, as a complete Old Timer fan, was there anything more joyful than seeing Fu Hua?
"Could it be that Sirin was defeated by Old Timer? That's actually possible; this Old Timer looks much stronger than the one from ten-plus years later..."
The moment Fu Hua appeared, Sentience suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Many viewers in the livestream felt the same way.
Fu Hua and Old Yang were both "undead," earning the titles of "Fu Push-up" and "Welt Sit-up" respectively. These two shared a common trait: they were damn reliable.
Fu Hua in the main story had already saved the day several times. Calling her the "Save-the-Day Queen" was no exaggeration; she felt like a fire-extinguishing character designated by the writers.
What? The Second Herrscher appeared in Siberia? Go invite Immortal Fu Hua!
What? The Herrscher of the Void has been resurrected and is about to wipe out the main cast? Go invite Immortal Fu Hua!
What? Kiana's consciousness is about to be controlled by the Herrscher of the Void again? Go invite Immortal Fu Hua!
...
Fu Hua truly interpreted the phrase "giving one's all until death" to the fullest. Even after "dying," she would transform into feathers to help the main cast in various places.
If this isn't a superhero, if this isn't a god of saving the day, then what is?
This is the value of our Divine Realm Flat Board! Do any of you have a flat board like this?
Fu Hua's appearance undoubtedly gave everyone in the livestream a huge boost of confidence.
A MANTIS from the Previous Era, a pure living fossil.
In short, to put it simply—"Immortal Fu Hua, power without limit; no matter what happens, she always has a way!"
On the other side, in the third training room of Schicksal HQ, Otto had locked Theresa in the training room and told her the secret of the Oath of Judah.
He demanded that Theresa master Judah's zeroth rated power, the Grace Field, as soon as possible, or he would keep her locked there indefinitely.
If she couldn't master this power, Theresa would have no way to deal with the current Second Herrscher.
At the same time, Siegfried gave the Soulium samples brought back from the Moon to Einstein and others, and also brought the news of Welt's death. Seeing Tesla break down in tears, Siegfried clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.
When Siegfried was about to return to Schicksal, Einstein told him that she had discovered information related to the Kaslanas within the Soulium.
What exactly that information was wasn't directly mentioned. The scene shifted to the Schicksal floating island, somewhere in the Valkyrie residential area.
Cheng Lixue was playing the zither in her bedroom. She quickly noticed someone arriving.
She pulled open the door. Fu Hua was already standing in the living room, looking up at the scroll in the center—the figures on it were Danzhu and Cangxuan.
This was painted by Cheng Lixue based on the scroll in the old house from her childhood.
Seeing Fu Hua appear, Cheng Lixue seemed very surprised and smiled like a child.
She wanted to go brew a cup of tea for Fu Hua, but Fu Hua turned to look at her and smiled slightly.
["No need, I'm leaving."]
["Your zither playing is a bit chaotic. Don't worry, Master is here. Master will protect you."]
As the words fell, Fu Hua's figure vanished from before Cheng Lixue. Only a few feathers remained, slowly drifting down...
Cheng Lixue was still holding the teapot, a hint of loneliness appearing on her face.
The scene in the game made Kiana's eyes go wide: "The Squad Leader actually took a disciple? For real? Isn't she afraid of being backstabbed by a disciple again?"
It wasn't surprising Kiana had such a big reaction. After all, the scene of Fu Hua being killed by seven treacherous disciples five hundred years ago was still fresh in everyone's memory. Although this plot was later expanded upon in "The Seven Swords" and players learned that Fu Hua was affected by the "Edge of Taixuan" at the time... the scene of the seven disciples killing their master was definitely one of the most infuriating plots in Honkai Impact 3rd.
"You can't say it like that, Kiana. After Fu Hua was resurrected, she wasn't affected by the Edge of Taixuan anymore, so she wouldn't be so extreme..."
Theresa sighed.
"But I can tell she still doesn't quite know how to raise a child... I bet this kid named Cheng Lixue probably doesn't see Fu Hua more than a few times a year, right?"
Kiana scratched her head: "To be honest, if it were me and I had gone through that, I definitely wouldn't take any more disciples no matter what... I would definitely have psychological trauma!"
Elysia suddenly started thinking hard: "Cheng Lixue? Cheng Lixue? That's strange..."
Seeing her racking her brain, Su Mu couldn't help but be curious: "What are you thinking about?"
"I remember this name. This beautiful girl hasn't appeared in the game before, right? Hmm, my memory has always been very good. I know exactly whether a beautiful girl like this has appeared or not!"
Seeing Elysia's proud look, Su Mu's mouth twitched several times.
You use all your good memory for remembering beautiful girls, don't you? You Realm of Lesbians Queen!
"But what Elysia said did remind me. The Squad Leader didn't mention the name Cheng Lixue in the main story either, right? Could it be..."
Kiana seemed to realize something and immediately turned her gaze toward Su Mu. She stared straight at him, her expression like she was scrutinizing a criminal.
Su Mu felt a bit uneasy under her gaze: "Is there something on my face?"
"No, I'm just thinking. Since the Squad Leader never mentioned anything about Cheng Lixue, it means she is already someone in the Squad Leader's memories, right? Which means..."
Elysia instantly understood Kiana's meaning. She slapped the table and stood up, accusing Su Mu of his crimes!
"Su Mu! How can you be so cruel! You simply have no heart! You're even going to kill off such a beautiful lady. I, Elysia, am going to eliminate this public nuisance today!!"
[Give up, Elysia. There's no way the Old Thief will let Miss Cheng Lixue off.]
[Exactly. This guy doesn't even try to hide it. Look at his animated avatar; he's been smiling the whole time, he hasn't stopped!]
[The Old Thief is thinking about happy things the whole time, right? He's definitely thinking about the scene of us players breaking down from being 'knifed'!]
[Wow, that's just too evil!]
Su Mu, however, seemed quite pleased with the "praise" from the livestream audience.
Heh! He just loved seeing them clearly knowing there was a 'knife' ahead but still having to take it!
This was simply addictive! It was so joyful!
Shortly after Fu Hua arrived at Schicksal, Otto urgently convened a Valkyrie combat meeting.
At the meeting, Otto gave a stirring speech. That righteous and awe-inspiring look made him truly seem like a great hero fighting to protect the world.
However, his performance was seen through completely by Fu Hua.
["Otto, in those words you just said... just how much of it was sincere?"]
"This guy Otto is acting like a saint at a time like this! It really pisses me off!"
Sentience cursed and threw a few punches at the punching bag in the room. If she didn't, she really felt like punching and breaking the computer.
"Saying things so grandly, portraying himself as a savior for those in suffering! In reality, this guy is a total villain! Using such nice words, talking about fighting to protect the world... as if it's not because of him that the world became like this!"
Sentience was fuming. Originally, Welt was about to kill Sirin, and everything was going to end.
But Otto just had to jump out at that moment, let Sirin go for his own plan, and almost killed Welt.
If Otto hadn't let Sirin go, there wouldn't have been so much trouble afterward!
Those innocent humans wouldn't have been sacrificed!
The fact that Schicksal had to fight such a losing battle was entirely because of Schicksal's leader! It all started with him!
And the culprit behind all this was now on stage, speaking so passionately and righteously...
"Tch, a total hypocrite!"
Sentience gave a vicious middle finger to the Otto on the screen.
After Otto made his declaration, a communication came from Anti-Entropy. In the communication, Anti-Entropy told Otto they hoped to borrow Siegfried for a while longer.
The information related to the Kaslana family discovered within the Soulium samples might reveal the secrets of the Kaslana family.
The other party skillfully avoided mentioning any news of Welt. Otto speculated that Welt was either seriously injured or had already died on the Moon.
But he had no time to worry about those things now. The urgent task was the confrontation with the Herrscher of Death.
The answer he had been seeking so hard might be obtained from the Herrscher of Death.
On the other side, in Einstein's laboratory, with Einstein's help, Siegfried entered the Soulium database.
In the scene constructed by the database, Siegfried arrived on the Moon once again. He saw a white-haired young man holding the Shamash appear before him.
Through Einstein's reminder, Siegfried learned that this was the footage of the final battle against the Herrscher of Finality on the Moon in the Previous Era.
When the appearance of that Herrscher of Finality was fully shown on the game screen, everyone in the livestream couldn't help but gasp.
The sense of oppression from the Herrscher of Finality was terrifying.
Before her, the Earth and the Moon were just like two small balls to be toyed with in her palm... as if with just a thought, she could destroy both planets at any time!
This was the legendary last and strongest Herrscher.
However, the appearance of the Herrscher of Finality made Siegfried's family in the livestream all show somewhat surprised expressions.
"This Herrscher of Finality... why does she feel so familiar?"
"Honey, do you feel that way too? I feel like she looks a lot like Kiana..."
"What? My second sister is actually the Herrscher of Finality? For real?"
Theresa thought for a moment and said, "It's probably someone else who looks a bit like Kiana. This is footage from the Previous Era. Didn't the Previous Era also have warriors who looked a lot like Himeko?"
"That's true. After all, no matter what, I still can't imagine Kiana becoming some Herrscher of Finality..."
Siegfried shook his head and sighed.
"After all, the difference in temperament is too big. If this girl became Finality, the Honkai God would surely be reduced to tears, maybe even rolling around on the ground crying."
Theresa agreed.
"Stupid Dad, Auntie, what do you mean! You mean I'm not worthy of being the Herrscher of Finality? Is that how you treat your own daughter?!"
Kiana's face was full of grievance. How could you mock your own kid like that!
