Chapter 208 “The Trial of the Divine Fire, the seal of the Collapse Energy, completely lifted!”
[No? When the old thief gets ruthless, he will even kill us players with his sword? ]
[That’s right, isn’t this too inhumane? ]
[When the old thief gets crazy, he won’t kill himself with his sword one day, right? ]
[Brother, there’s not even a hint of this, and you’re so sure that the old thief wants to kill me? Don’t you? ]
[Is the person above new? Don’t you know that the host and the old thief are wearing the same pants? How about the old thief, she knows it very well! ]
[Uh uh, wearing the same pants? Are the host and the old thief brother and sister? ]
“What do you mean by brother and sister! No matter what, they are at least siblings!”
Xiao Shi angrily choked back the comments in the barrage.
“If I have to be his sister, I’ll be his sister!”
Xiao Shi interacted intensively with the fans in the live broadcast room for a while, and then she “calmly” explained why she felt that Su Mu was going to make a move on the protagonist.
“It’s a very simple reason. Everyone has been playing Honkai Impact 3 for such a long time. You can clearly see that Su Mu’s script is specially prepared! At this juncture, a branch line related to the post-Honkai Impact 3 protagonist is suddenly created. It is likely that he will make a move!”
“And Mei is also setting up flags crazily. You say that something will happen, but I don’t believe it anyway!”
“After all, no matter how strong Mei is, she has to face Otto, or someone who dares to plot with Otto’s annoying face! I want to ask, can everyone not panic when they see Otto’s face?”
[Really, what the anchor said is indeed reasonable. ]
[Just seeing Otto’s face, I am about to have PTSD. 】
[I suddenly understand how Lao Yang feels when he sees this face. Well, that’s really a ghost. 】
[A ghost is a small matter. I’m afraid that Otto, the Byd, is really not dead. That’s too scary…]
[This is the big villain of our Honkai Impact 3rd. Do you have such a villain? Just someone impersonating this face is enough to scare the protagonists like a frightened bird… It’s really a rebellious and a party! 】
Return to the live broadcast room of the first idol of Honkai Impact 3rd, Ai-chan.
At this time, the game plot has advanced to the third team’s dispatch. Theresa sent a communication to talk with Mei about this mission.
Faced with Theresa’s dissuasion, Raiden Mei replied like this.
[“Yeah. But I just… don’t want to sit there and wait anxiously anymore, don’t want to rely on others’ help anymore, don’t want… that kind of thing to happen again”]
[“Even if it’s just for her words – fight for all the good in the world – I will persevere”]
[“As long as there is something I need to do, I will do it. As long as there are people who need me to protect, this sword will not rest”]
Raiden Mei’s tone was unusually firm, and her words revealed
And obviously, the “that person” she was talking about was, without a doubt, Kiana Kaslana.
[Ah…]
[After parting with Kiana, Mei has really changed a lot. ]
[Yes, Mei is so radical now, probably because of Kiana’s departure. ]
[Wow, bug, my bug! I wonder if she is doing well on the moon, if she has food to eat, and if she is bored! ]
[Compared to this, shouldn’t we worry about the situation of the third team? Mei’s buffs are all stacked up, are they really going to kill Mei in the post-collapse? ]
[No, that’s too naive, isn’t it? Not long ago, Lei Lu awakened, and now Mei is killed? Do you still want to sell cards, you old bastard! 】
The audience in the live broadcast room also felt very emotional about Mei’s transformation, but it is true when you think about it. Parting with important people will indeed change a lot of things. Mei will change her attitude and become radical, which is also predictable.
After all, in the main storyline, Mei is like this after becoming Lei Lu – maybe she knows that she is doing something dangerous, but for Kiana, she is willing to take this risk.
Before leaving, Theresa gave Mei the final instructions –
[“And… that person must not be Otto Apokalis. So don’t worry about me, go!”]
It is conceivable that Theresa has experienced what kind of entanglement to say such words at this juncture.
Perhaps Otto Apokalis is an unforgivable villain, but perhaps he is only sincere in treating Theresa. In fact, Theresa is also taken care of by Otto… From childhood to adulthood, it has been like this.
Others have many reasons to hate Otto, but Theresa can never forget that he is one of her few relatives in this world.
Otto’s departure is definitely a blow to Theresa beyond imagination. Even in the main storyline, Theresa, as a granddaughter, is still resisting Otto and hates everything Otto does – but in the eyes of many players, Otto has been indulgent to Theresa.
As a villain, a villain with his own long-cherished wish, a madman, he left his true heart to Theresa. Even when Theresa led the Far East Branch to rebel, Otto was just persuading Theresa at the beginning, and even more viciously, he could have threatened Theresa with the students of St. Freya Academy.
But he didn’t do that. Is it because he has a guilty conscience? No… it’s just because Theresa Apocalis is his beloved granddaughter, so he naturally can’t treat Theresa with those despicable means.
Some players are full of emotion, if Otto can live in a peaceful world, and Kallen has not left because of the collapse, he will definitely change from a madman to a grandson who dotes on his granddaughter.He’s obsessed with girls.
Then the player saw the story about the magical girl Teriri and the Destiny Consortium behind her, and his jaw dropped.
…Okay, no need to sigh.
In real life, Otto is an absolute granddaughter-obsessed man! !
In the live broadcast room, Alysia controlled the third team and cleared the monsters on the road.
I don’t know when the number of monsters in Saint Fontaine has increased sharply, and now the streets are full of these monsters.
The city has also become devastated, making people feel cold behind their backs.
If we wait any longer, we don’t know what this place will become.
And now the sky is dyed with a strange red because of the light of the Sub-Heaven Demon City.
On the way to the Sub-Demon City, Carol invited the protagonist to do a preliminary survey and found that the Houkai energy detectors built in three places detected abnormal golden energy fragments.
After comparing the data, Mei found that the energy reactions detected in these three places were consistent. And these three places have appeared Herrschers or God’s Keys.
As for whether it is the mastermind behind the scenes, there is not enough intelligence support now, so it is impossible to draw a conclusion.
After passing through Saint Fontaine, the third team arrived at the bridge area.
And the monster called Death blocked the Sub-Demon City.
After eliminating Death, the third team looked at the Sub-Demon City not far away. The number of monsters along the way increased, and the resistance became greater, all of which revealed a message to them.
That is… the enemy already knew they were coming.
[“Isn’t this too strange?”]
[“Yes, it seems that our actions are under the enemy’s surveillance”]
[“That’s bad! He must be fully prepared and waiting for us!”]
Even so, the current situation does not allow the third team to retreat. After a short rest, the third team officially set foot on the Sub-Demon Castle.
In the game level, Alicia was still curious about how to climb this city suspended in the sky.
But as he controlled the character to the end of the bridge, the bricks began to fall from above and automatically formed steps for Mei and others to pass.
Raiden Mei in the game also reported this matter to Theresa, but Theresa did not respond.
[“Oh, she should not be able to hear it. Sorry, I should have told you”]
The voice that responded to Raiden Mei was a voice that surprised her but was extremely familiar.
[“I wanted to keep silent, but you guys are just too slow. It’s good to be cautious, but don’t worry, this road will be unobstructed and will take you directly to me”]
[“So come on, I’m waiting for you”]
The camera in the game began to zoom out with the character controlled by Alicia, and the stairs kept moving forward.The road converged, and this sub-celestial demon city suspended in the air finally showed its appearance to the world – grand and majestic, but under the strange light, it revealed a kind of gloomy feeling that made people feel uncomfortable.
While playing, Alyssia suddenly had an idea and thought about what would happen if she turned back – so she witnessed her controlled character falling off the stairs…
Then not long after, she returned to the platform at the beginning.
“Oh, it turns out that if you die here, you have to walk again…”
As for why Alyssia had such a sudden whim, it can only be said that brave Alyssia is not afraid of difficulties and is full of curiosity.
After climbing the stairs again, this time she reached the highest point safely.
And above the platform, a blond man had been waiting there for a long time.
[“Welcome——Destiny’s children, you really made me wait so long”]
Because of the mask, the blond man’s appearance could not be seen clearly, but everyone knew that this man was the “Otto” who appeared in front of Walter before!
[“I want to express my gratitude to the three of you. Thanks to you, I finally caught the Herrscher of Reason——Then, Lukeni, lend me your servant and use it to entertain our benefactor”]
As the blond masked man snapped his fingers, a terrifying monster fell from the sky on the platform in front of the third team, and the entire platform trembled violently because of his arrival!
This alien monster looked very human, with four legs protected by unknown metal plates. Just the thick armor alone made people feel powerless!
It was just like a wall, overwhelming and pressing towards the third team!
Without any nonsense, this monster named World followed the instructions of “Otto” and began to attack the third team like crazy!
As the final BOSS of the post-Honkai Book 1.0, World is definitely the most difficult BOSS so far.
The thickness of the HP bar is far beyond that of other BOSSes, and it also has a very troublesome shield. It can even summon aircraft to attack players. If the shield is not broken in time, it will also have various negative effects on the players!
It is disgusting to the extreme!
In high-difficulty situations, the interference effect of this aircraft will even directly interfere with the character’s lock! And it will also apply multiple decelerations, continuously reducing HP and SP!
Although this thing has a very thin blood volume, it can’t withstand the disgusting shield, and there is no way to solve it quickly!
Even though Alysia, who has a good gaming talent, was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back in the face of a difficult world, her characters were rolling around under the iron hoof of the world.
“This, this is too difficult…”
Even Carol was shocked by the difficulty. The aircraft kept interfering, and this tank-like mad dog BOSS kept dominating. Are you sure it’s not to torture the players?
The design of the action module of this BOSS called the world was not within Carol’s design scope. In the post-Honkai books, she designed the action modules of Raiden Mei and Carol. As for the monsters, there were other people in charge. Therefore, she didn’t know that this BOSS called the world could be so difficult!
Seeing that Alicia had used more than ten resuscitation needles, the audience in the live broadcast room began to gasp and contribute to global warming.
[No? How can this BOSS be so disgusting? What is Lao Zei doing? ]
[Is it possible that Lao Zei’s first game, Digging for Level Up, was designed to torture players. It can only be said that this BOSS has returned to its original intention. ]
[No, Lao Zei at least gave you difficulty options, right? If you can’t beat the difficult level, just lower the difficulty. He must have expected this situation, so he set the difficulty level! 】
When the audience in the live broadcast room angrily criticized this BOSS for being a bit inhuman, a prompt box popped up in the game window of Alicia, who had died more than ten times, saying “The enemy strength is detected to be high, and the difficulty is automatically adjusted to normal for you.”
Alica wanted to say something stubborn, but when she thought of the difficult world torturing her in various ways, she finally shut her mouth obediently.
Someone who was still proudly saying that he would fill in very simple next time has become – Alicia (honest).
Although the difficulty was reduced to simple, Alicia still took some effort to defeat the world.
However, the world was not completely destroyed, but stood up again!
[“Okay, you owe me a favor, Lukaini…”]
The blond masked man waved his hands forward, and a terrible force burst out from his body. The huge shock wave knocked the protagonist and Carol out directly!
Raiden Mei tightly grasped her sword, blocking the two people who were already covered in wounds, and glared at the blond masked man on the platform in front.
[“Don’t even think about hurting my team members!”]
The man just chuckled.
[“Well, then I’ll listen to you”]
He stretched out his right hand, and the golden chain flew out instantly, wrapping around Mei’s body, making her unable to move!
[“The most troublesome enemy should always be dealt with first, right?”]
In the next moment, the world’s huge mechanical arm instantly pierced Mei’s abdomen and lifted her up high!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the protagonist and Carol below both showed horrified expressions at that moment.
[“Her Herrscher energy is very valuable, don’t leave any of it. Let’s go and open the Star Gate for the people in the sky”]
After saying that, the man turned around and left the platform.
He didn’t even look at the protagonist and Carol.
It seemed that he had already determined that these two people could no longer make any waves.
A protective shield was opened around the body of the world. The Herrscher energy in the body of Raiden Mei, who was suspended in the air by an invisible force, was being continuously drained!
“Ahhhhhh!! Put my Mei down!”
Seeing that the world dared to treat Mei like this, Alicia felt that her fist was hard, hard, hard!!
“When I didn’t know, Mei and Ai Li had such a good relationship?”
Carol looked at the two of them in a strange way.
Raiden Mei’s expression was also a little embarrassed. If it was Kiana who shouted this sentence beside her, she would feel ****. But why did Alicia suddenly say this? There can only be one Lich King in the world. If there is one more, it will be a mess!!
[Mei!! 】
[Put Mei down! ]
[Where are your teammates? Teammates, save them! Teammates! ]
[No, I have to kill this damned BOSS today! How dare they hurt Mei! ]
For a moment, the audience in the entire live broadcast room was extremely angry, and they all wanted to rush into the knife game and punch and kick this damned world!
Also, give that blond masked man a couple of hits! No matter whether he is Otto or not, the bastard who dared to hurt Mei with this face… must die! !
But on the other hand, they are also brothers. This guy who looks like Otto is so powerful that he defeated the third team so easily!
[And, the golden chain he fired is part of the Oath of Judas, right? 】
[But that should be the simulated Oath of Judas. The real Oath of Judas should be with Theresa, right? 】
[The guy who can use the simulated Oath of Judas is Otto, isn’t he? 】
[Don’t, you are wrong! Otto can use the Void Manzang. He borrowed the power of the Void Manzang to use various simulated God Keys! 】
[So, the person who turned into Otto… is the Void Manzang? 】
[It is really possible! After all, it was mentioned before that the Void Manzang also has its own consciousness. Didn’t he try to seduce Otto several times five hundred years ago? 】
[And didn’t Saint Fontaine’s collapse detector also detect the reaction of the Herrscher or the God Key? These signs show that the possibility that this Otto is the Void Manzang is really high! 】
[Yes, and he seems to know everything about Tianming. If he has not been with Otto for so long, it is impossible for him to know all these situations, right? 】
From various clues, players have gradually pieced together the true identity of “Otto” and found a lot of strong evidence!
In the game force, Alicia has been forced into a dead end.
Raiden Mei is in danger.
Carol has fallen down due to exhaustion.
The only one who is still struggling is the protagonist “Su Mu” controlled by Alicia.
In the case of injury, Alicia found that the performance of the protagonist under her control has dropped greatly, with only 1 HP bar left, and the vision began to become dim.
She controlled the protagonist to attack the barrier, but the powerful recoil lifted the protagonist and shook him out!
Despite this, he adjusted his posture in an instant and supported his body with the sword again to prevent himself from falling.
Then.
The UI on the game screen only had the yellow energy bar on the top and the normal attack button on the bottom.
The fatigue, pain, and heavy breathing seemed to indicate that “Su Mu” in the game was already at the end of his strength.
As Alicia kept clicking the button, the yellow energy bar above was filled again, and he stood up again, attacking the barrier as if he was tireless!
However, what followed was another heavy attack, which once again knocked his body out!
[“Hold on…!”]
The vision became increasingly dim, and the surrounding scenery began to become sticky. The audience in the live broadcast room intuitively felt the powerlessness, pain and struggle of the protagonists in the game.
After being bounced back by the protective shield again, his body fell heavily to the ground.
The vision finally returned to complete darkness.
It seemed that there was nothing left.
Is it over?
Is it over?
…It seems not yet.
In the blur, the figure of Raiden Mei appeared on the game screen.
That was her previous request.
[“This sword was specially made by the Scientific Research Department of Tianming based on your physique”]
[“It can absorb, store and release Honkai energy from the surrounding environment. It is equivalent to a Honkai beast fighting alongside you”]
[“Remember, your physique is more susceptible to the increase of Honkai energy than others, and it is also more likely to fall into the danger of excessive Honkai energy”]
[“Promise me, don’t be stubborn. I know you have a strong sense of responsibility, but don’t do anything beyond your limit”]
As Mei’s last words fell.
Dense Honkai lines climbed up his side face. Even though his body was already as heavy as lead, it was even difficult to move. Every breath felt like his body was torn apart.
But those eyes were always burning with fire.
[“Sorry, Captain, I have to break my promise to you.”]
The red energy continued to spread on the sword of the Divine Fire Trial. He tightly grasped the hilt in his hand. As the seal of the Honkai energy was lifted, the Divine Fire Trial also shed his disguise, like a giant beast awakening, roaring at the world with a deafening roar!
——[“Divine Fire Trial, Collapse Energy Seal, Complete Release!”]
