"Flames—Consume—!"
The crimson armor, paired with Himeko's graceful figure, made her appear more agile and powerful than ever before.
The Greatsword in her hand, though lacking the high-tech light effects, exuded a sense of ancient, heavy power with its steady crimson hue!
This was the True Red Knight, Eclipse!
"My God, she's so strong!"
"Although this armor retains the same wide-open combat style as before, it also appears incredibly flexible."
"No need for charging actions anymore, every strike draws blood~, full of explosive power."
"Especially this ultimate move, combined with Himeko's voice, I feel like I could take on ten Herrschers!"
"Right now, I can do anything!"
Little Gui was brimming with excitement!
Soon,
the health bar of the boss, Heimdall, was nearly depleted!
In the final strike of Total Conflagration, it was completely paralyzed...
But all the players watching the live stream knew.
Himeko's acquisition of this immense power did not come without a price!
Because this armor was too powerful, it was also equipped with a Herrscher's gem.
The consciousness within it continuously fed Himeko negative thoughts.
"Enough, you've done your best."
"You're just a mortal, you've reached your limit."
These words were cruel, but they were the truth.
In that inner space.
Himeko severed these voices one by one, resolutely stepping onto the path she had chosen!
In the end, she succeeded in the fusion!
The massive machine collapsed in the flames.
Himeko planted her Greatsword into the ground and let out a long breath.
[My heart is boiling.]
[My body has never felt so light.]
[The wounds, I can no longer feel the pain.]
[Power, seems to be surging from within.]
"Haa..."
Himeko took a deep breath,
and said:
"Everyone, wait for me."
"I'm back!"
Seeing this scene, the chat erupted with joy!
...
"Himeko, my goddess!"
"I knew she could do it!"
"Let's take back everything we've lost!"
"She's back, everything's back!"
"So cool!!"
"Himeko in this world is a true warrior!"
"That sword... I think I've seen it at Herta's place..."
"Damn! I've seen it too, in the Curio Containment Room, and it was completely shattered."
"Damn it, I was just getting hyped, and you tell me this!?"
"No way, this must be something that happens in the future!"
"In this battle, Teacher Himeko will win!"
...
On the battlefield.
Bronya was struggling in a fierce fight.
Facing a horde of Honkai Beasts, she fought until the world spun around her, rolling on the ground several times before coming to a stop.
At that moment.
Flames descended from the sky!
The red-haired Himeko stood in front of her, wielding a crimson Greatsword.
She looked radiant, as if reborn!
"You've done well, Bronya."
"Hurry back to the Hyperion!"
"Leave this place to me!"
Himeko's gaze was resolute.
Her tone carried an incredibly reassuring presence!
Numerous Honkai monsters appeared on the deck.
But the Himeko of today was no longer the same as before.
Facing a Zombie's sneak attack.
She displayed an extremely sharp reaction, countering with a single strike, piercing through it!
"Dare to sneak attack me? Die!"
Little Gui shouted at the top of her lungs!
At this very moment,
She was completely immersed!
It was as if she herself was wearing this armor, dominating the battlefield!
"Who else!!!!"
Little Gui was on a roll!
There was no helping it,
This armor was just too powerful!
Charging up for a cross slash, then using the ultimate skill, "Sky's End Inferno," to clear the overload state.
Over and over again,
Each strike blazing with fire,
The explosive power was overwhelming!
Just then.
A mocking yet cruel voice rang out.
"Oh my, was that blocked? The performance must follow the script, you know."
The chaotic sky was violently torn apart.
The figure of the Herrscher emerged amidst the lightning.
The Herrscher of the Void remained as arrogant and aloof as ever!
"Finally, I've found you!"
"Though the order has changed, it doesn't matter, they're all just nameless ants."
"I'll start with you!"
Himeko sneered!
"I've been waiting for you, you damn Herrscher!"
The battle began immediately!
[Herrscher, Kiana]
Now,
Beneath the health bar and name.
There were three additional gem features!
[Herrscher of the Void], [Gem of Serenity], [Gem of Conquest]
But!
Himeko was no longer the same as before!
With a burst of combo skills,
The Herrscher of the Void's health bar was instantly halved!
Her voice, for the first time, sounded somewhat flustered!
"What, that armor!?"
Himeko taunted, "You... are bleeding... So even gods can be wounded?"
"Why!"
"I should have killed you dozens of times already!"
Himeko raised her crimson blade, pointing it at the Herrscher.
"Well, I'm sorry about that..."
"I'm just... a bit hard to get rid of."
"Insolent human!"
"Aren't you tired of calling me 'human' all the time?"
"I have a name... Remember it well, for you are about to face..."
"――Murata Himeko!!"
The live chat exploded with excitement!
...
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
"It's getting intense!"
"Queen, run!"
"You are about to face Murata Himeko!!"
"I'm up, one slash, and it's over, what's there to say?"
"My Attack is above yours!!"
"You're a Herrscher too, what are you pretending for?"
"I still prefer your unruly demeanor!"
"Scared now, aren't you, kid?"
...
Little Gui was also frantically spamming attacks!
Wishing she could press the attack button ten times in a second!
It was all because she had been utterly crushed by the Queen before!
But now,
She had finally gained power comparable to a Herrscher!
She was going to take back everything with interest!
"Fall for me..."
"Fall for me!!"
"Take this strike!"
"Boom!"
She leaped into the air and slammed down.
The ground erupted like molten lava!
The Queen's health bar was completely depleted at that moment!
Victory!
I finally won!
[Swords and spears clashed, light and shadow overlapped.]
[The warrior in the vortex of determination, wielding a Greatsword.]
[The spear erupted with lightning, and death was shrouded in haze.]
[But the storm raised by the flaming sword turned everything to ashes.]
"Why! You're just an ant!"
The Herrscher of the Void was suddenly startled!
As if she had glimpsed the truth!
"That armor... has my gem!"
Hearing this,
Little Gui also got excited!
"What do you mean your gem? Everything is yours!?"
"Mei is yours, this is yours, everything is yours, huh?"
"Aren't you just the Second Herrscher? With three gems, you're already at your limit, and now you want to collect five, six gems?"
"I'll send you to hell right now!"
...
"Absolutely right!"
"Little Gui is practically my online mouthpiece!"
"If she were at Saint Freya, the streamer would definitely be an S-rank Valkyrie!"
"Himeko is so fierce in that armor, she's got the Queen completely overwhelmed!"
"The higher her arrogance before, the more satisfying it is to crush her now!"
"Just watching the stream gets my blood pumping, I can't imagine how thrilling it would be to play it myself!"
"Honkai Impact 3 is really fun, I'm hooked!"
"What an exhilarating battle!"
"I want to defeat the Queen! I want to slay the god!"
