The blaring of alarms...
The howls of Honkai Beasts...
The sound of mechs being blown to pieces...
Closing his eyes,
it felt as if he had returned to that day.
Once again, he recalled the fear of being dominated by Honkai!
Old Yang had to place a hand on his chest, trying to slow his breathing.
He struggled to calm himself down!
There was no other way!
The game developed by Yu Ling was just too immersive!
Whether it was the narrative, the visuals, the background music...
Everything gave a sense of being right there in the moment!
In a daze,
it felt as if he had returned to that era of resistance!
Hero after hero stepped forward, all for the sake of humanity overcoming Honkai!
And seeing so many familiar faces again,
Old Yang was overwhelmed with emotions!
He lost his usual composure and calmness.
A thousand words,
condensed into one sentence—
"Yu Ling, you've done so much evil!"
Old Yang wiped his glasses and continued watching the live stream of the story.
The communicator reported:
"Report, Theresa and Raiden Mei are currently engaging the Herrscher."
"But the battlefield is divided by Honkai Beasts. The mech units are trapped and unable to provide effective support...!"
"The number of enemies is overwhelming. If this continues, we'll lose contact with the front lines!"
Einstein's voice was slightly hoarse.
She muttered to herself, "The situation is worse than I imagined."
"Should we activate it here?"
"If we do, we can close the gap in combat power in one fell swoop."
"No, that system is a one-time trump card."
"We can't use it now. We have to wait for a more opportune moment..."
Just then.
Bronya, who had been unconscious for a long time, woke up.
Clearly, seeing her comrades fighting, she didn't want to sit idly by and instead volunteered to join the battle!
"Miss, are you trying to throw your life away?"
Bronya's attitude was resolute.
Einstein sighed and said,
"Alright, it seems your mind is made up."
"However, at least let me give you a piece of advice."
"Take this weapon with you. You'll need it."
"No need to thank me. Just remember to return it."
[At the moment she handed over the item, a hint of reluctance flashed in the doctor's eyes.]
Before setting off, she added,
"Whatever you do... don't lose it."
In the live stream
The comments were also heatedly discussing!
...
"There's still a trick up their sleeve!?"
"At this point, Dr. Einstein, don't hold back anymore!"
"This is so despairing and heart-wrenching. Do we humans really have a chance to defeat the Second Herrscher?"
"What other cards do they have? Use them quickly, or else Mei and Theresa will really die at the hands of the Herrscher!"
"What weapon did they give Bronya here? I'm a bit curious."
"In the land of Izumo, seventy thousand and thirty-three swords were broken and forged into twelve sacred blades of protection. The second of these is the Heaven Blade, forged by Takamimusubi, capable of turning the heavens into walls, making it difficult for calamitous gods to traverse."
"Don't say it! So far, the abilities of the three Herrschers have corresponded to the sacred blades of protection!"
...
As someone who personally experienced that war,
Old Yang naturally knew what Einstein had handed over here!
—The Star of Eden!
A weapon against the Honkai, crafted from the Herrscher Core of the Ninth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Rock, from the previous civilization era!
It could replicate the "power of the earth" of the Ninth Herrscher!
With the ability to control gravity, distort space-time, and create black holes, it was one of the key factors in the independence of the Anti-Entropy organization!
His hand clenched slightly.
If he didn't know this was game lore, a part of history that had already happened,
He would have wished he could step in and join the battle himself!
March 7th came over, curious, and asked.
"Uncle Yang!"
"What exactly is the weapon that Dr. Einstein handed over?"
Old Yang pondered for a moment.
He flipped his palm.
"This is it."
The cane transformed from the Star of Eden appeared, firmly gripped in his hand.
"Huh?"
"This is it!?"
"So, this thing wasn't lost in the end and still ended up back in Uncle Yang's hands?"
"What exactly happened during that time?"
March 7th was practically dying of impatience!
But at this moment,
There was no extra time for Old Yang to spoil the plot.
The story had reached a critical moment!
Just as Mei and Theresa were on the verge of being annihilated by the Herrscher of the Void…
Bronya arrived just in time!
"Star of Eden, First Rated Power, Maximum Output Liberation!"
A massive gravitational wave surged forth.
Paired with Theresa's Judah.
Golden chains bound the Herrscher's body!
"You can't escape… Judah has already caught you…!"
Theresa, using herself as bait, created this perfect opportunity!
"Even if I die, I'll never let go!"
...
"The closest we've ever come to defeating the Honkai!"
"Good, good, good…!"
"Theresa may look small, but her abilities are out of this world!"
"Star of Eden? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
"It's Welt's cane! I've seen it in his backstory—it can suppress enemies with gravity, creating something akin to a black hole!"
"Witness the shattering of the stars… Survival or destruction, you have no choice!"
"Great, it's Welt, we're saved!"
...
However.
Just as the players were starting to feel a glimmer of hope.
The Queen's arm gave a slight shake.
The golden chains instantly shattered!
The situation they had fought so hard to create posed no threat to her at all!
Everything,
Returned to the starting point!
And on top of that, Bronya was now in danger too!
The hope that had just ignited was extinguished.
The barrage of comments fell silent!
Little Gui was also dumbfounded as she watched this scene.
However,
Things were about to get even worse!
The Gem of Conquest within Mei's body was also taken by the Queen.
Her power had grown significantly once again,
Now a Herrscher with three gems!
...
"The Queen is too strong, I've already switched sides."
"Let's mourn for this planet…"
"It's over, there's no way to win now!"
"Where's Acheron? Someone save us!"
"We're doomed!"
"Let's all just scatter and head back to the Astral Express."
"How can the people of this planet possibly defeat such a powerful opponent…"
...
At that very moment.
A loud boom echoed through the sky!
A streak of light descended onto the battlefield!
The figure wore black and gold armor.
Amber light glowed at the joints.
Landing in an incredibly cool pose!
With a black V-shaped visor.
She,
Was none other than the Class Monitor!
Fu Hua!
Little Gui was instantly thrilled!
"Ahhhhh, everyone!"
"It seems like there's still a chance!"
"Fu Hua appearing in this form makes her intentions clear…"
"She's here to help the main team!"
"This armor looks really strong, maybe there's still hope!"
