Chapter 538 - 544: What's going on, why is my Teacher Himeko coughing up blood?
"From this chapter onwards, the tone seems a bit off!""It doesn't feel like a campus comedy anymore!"
Little Gui was getting a bit overwhelmed.
[Chapter 7: Lift the Sword of Rebellion]
"Just by the title of this chapter,"
"You can tell it's going to be a battle full of passion and camaraderie!"
"Let's save our Kiana!"
[22 hours after Kiana was captured, Schicksal Headquarters]
A voice said calmly, "Continue injecting Honkai Energy into the test chamber. With such a low concentration, we won't be able to wake her up."
As the voice fell,
A scene from Schicksal Headquarters appeared before everyone!
Kiana, unconscious, floated in the cultivation fluid.
A blond man stood outside.
Watching all of this with great interest.
The man's lips curled into a subtle smile.
Speaking to Kiana in the test chamber, he said, "Long time no see, welcome home."
"...k423."
...
"???"
"Buddy, you look familiar!"
"Is this... Schicksal's Bishop Otto?"
"That expression, it's like he's got 'I'm the big villain' written all over his face!"
"Luocha!"
"!!!"
"Wow, Luocha, you were hiding so deep!"
"No wonder Old Yang was so wary of Luocha back then. Turns out this guy has a criminal record!"
"What is he trying to do? Why is he trying to awaken the Second Herrscher?"
...
At this moment there were too many questions swirling in the minds of every player!
And as Honkai Energy continued to be injected.
Kiana in the experimental pod...
No,
To be precise,
The Second Herrscher hidden within her!
Seemed to finally awaken!
A pair of golden eyes suddenly opened!
"Return to my side, my kin."
As the words were spoken!
Within the massive glacier.
The figure of a dragon-like Honkai Beast became increasingly clear.
The ice layer gradually cracked.
With a roar,
It,
Fully awakened!
Its stretched steel wings could almost blot out the sky!
...
"Holy crap!"
"That dragon is so cool!"
"Doomsday Beast!"
"Damn, it's the Doomsday Beast!"
"If becoming a Herrscher means having such a giant dragon as a subordinate, then I want to become a Herrscher too!"
"Where are the coordinates of this world? Our Interastral Peace Corporation is very interested in researching such creatures!"
"I think the individual who is a Herrscher is also worth studying."
"Can you corporate dogs just get lost? The world is on the brink of crisis, and you're still obsessing over your damn research! I swear..."
...
Otto also witnessed the awakening of the dragon-like Honkai Beast through the satellite.
Yet he spoke without surprise:
"Oh, here to protect your queen, are you?"
"All defense satellites, deploy."
"All Valkyrie units, prepare for Level One combat readiness."
"Get ready to welcome the transformation of the world."
On the other side.
Theresa and Himeko were also piloting a transport ship, chasing towards Schicksal Headquarters!
While breaking through Schicksal's airspace defenses, they also had to deal with the Honkai Beasts converging here.
It was truly a bitter struggle!
The number of Honkai Beasts was increasing rapidly!
Theresa issued a warning: "Bad news! The transport ship's energy is no longer enough to maintain the protective shield!"
Just as the shield was about to be breached by the Honkai Beasts.
A surge of intense music suddenly rose!
A flash of red blade light.
The Honkai Beasts surrounding the shield were shattered in one strike!
"Don't worry, Theresa."
"It's time for the Far East Branch's ace to make her appearance."
Himeko stepped onto the deck.
Clad in red armor, carrying a Greatsword.
Her expression was filled with confidence and determination.
...
"So cool!"
"Wuwuwu, Teacher Himeko, I love you no matter which world you're in!"
"This damn sense of security!"
"Unlike our Sister Himeko on the train, she might not be as elegant or as intellectual, but once she's on the battlefield, she's still our most reliable partner!"
"Teacher Himeko wielding a Greatsword! If I hadn't played Honkai Impact 3rd, I really couldn't imagine such a scene!"
"Now I know why Yu Ling chose them as the main characters. These people would go to any lengths to save their comrades!"
"Don't underestimate the bonds of our friendship, Luocha! Oh wait... Ato!"
...
Little Gui familiarized herself with the skills.
She began to control Himeko.
Slaying enemies left and right on the ship!
"To save our comrades, we would defy the world!"
"The character we're controlling now is Murata Himeko!"
"Her playstyle is very bold and unrestrained."
"Wielding a greatsword, she charges in and slashes!"
...
On the Astral Express.
Himeko sipped the coffee she had brewed herself while watching the story unfold.
She watched the character who resembled her.
Fighting valiantly on the battlefield, overcoming all obstacles.
Even,
Engaging in direct combat with what appeared to be a powerful dragon-like Honkai Beast!
Himeko's eyes sparkled.
She felt a surge of excitement!
If she hadn't boarded the train, if her hometown had faced a similar disaster...
Perhaps,
She would have truly become a Valkyrie charging into battle?
But fate doesn't allow for "what ifs."
She is still Himeko.
The navigator of the Astral Express.
The journey so far,
All the sights witnessed along the way,
Have shaped her into the unique person she is.
She has never regretted embarking on the Trailblaze journey.
Of course,
This doesn't stop her from empathizing with her counterpart in another world.
And this,
Is the unique charm of the game developed by Yu Ling.
...
In the live stream.
Little Gui was thoroughly enjoying herself!
Activating Himeko's ultimate skill.
Engaging in an all-out battle with the dragon-like Honkai Beast!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One slash after another.
"Ahhh! At this moment, I feel like I've completely become Teacher Murata Himeko!"
"As if I were a Valkyrie with ten years of service."
"I've encountered wave after wave of Honkai Beasts, constantly evolving, growing stronger, each one trying to kill me."
"And yet? I'm still the one standing!"
Just as Little Gui was getting excited.
In the story.
An unexpected scene suddenly unfolded!
In the cockpit.
A streak of crimson appeared at the corner of Himeko's lips.
She looked at her palm.
A look of surprise and sorrow crossed her face.
"Damn it, not now..."
She,
Had actually coughed up blood!
"Is time... running out?"
Little Gui's heart sank immediately!
"What's happening to Himeko!"
"Just now, I was dominating the battlefield, like a god of war."
"And now, suddenly, such a heart-wrenching scene appears..."
"Is she going to be killed off?"
"No way... that can't be!"
"Himeko is a playable character, and in another world, she's the navigator of the Astral Express!"
"She definitely won't exit the story this early!"
...
On the train.
Seeing Himeko cough up blood, everyone's expressions changed!
For this Murata Himeko in the story.
Everyone had invested more emotion than other players!
It was as if they had projected the train's Himeko into the game!
Seeing this heart-wrenching scene.
Everyone felt as if their hearts had been gripped!
"What's going on!"
March 7th looked panicked,
"Uncle Yang, why did Teacher Himeko suddenly cough up blood here!"
Old Yang sat on the sofa, his expression deep.
He took a deep breath,
And said slowly:
"This is... the side effect of the artificial Stigmata. Himeko's adaptability to Honkai Energy isn't high, and she's been constantly corrupted."
"She..."
"She must have anticipated this day, but she didn't expect it to come so soon."
