What kind of world does he see in his eyes?
Eden couldn't help but wonder this in her heart.
Girls, mechs, Honkai beasts, armor…
The visual impact created by the perfect combination of all these elements was no less than dropping a nuclear bomb on a calm water surface.
The kind of shock it would bring to the entire domestic film and television industry was already beyond what she could imagine.
In the brief moment she was lost in thought,
the plot on the television continued to advance quickly.
After Kiana eliminated a large number of enemies, she became too excited and accidentally pressed the self-destruct button,
causing the only operational mech to be destroyed.
After arguing with Bronya for a while, at Mei's suggestion, the three of them rallied and went to secure control of the bridge.
Eden also snapped back to reality and continued watching the plot.
There were no enemies on the entire bridge.
Bronya immediately had Project Bunny 19C begin hacking the main control system.
"Eh?"
"No login password… all operational permissions are fully open… how could this be?"
Himeko, receiving the report, was also puzzled: "…This is really too strange. Doing this is practically equivalent to handing the warship to us on a silver platter, isn't it?"
"Bronya, be extremely careful when operating. Avoid any hidden Trojan programs from the other side."
Bronya said: "Major Himeko, Bronya discovered a strange email in the main control computer."
"An email?"
"Dear Kiana, hello! This warship, the Moonlight Throne, is finally returned to you after fourteen years. You will ascend the throne and shape a new world. But before that, you still need to find four 'keys'."
"The lightning of conquest, the flames of plague. The storm of desire, the silence of death. Oh, right—the navigation system password is your birthday~"
Kiana immediately shouted: "Wait, why is this email addressed to me?!"
Himeko said: "Kiana, do you know something? Among the people you know, is there anyone who would write you a letter like this?"
Kiana thought for a moment and replied: "No… I have no idea… I don't remember having a super-rich friend who would gift me a warship."
"Besides, my idiot dad who ran away from home wouldn't act so pretentiously."
Himeko also fell into thought: "The lightning of conquest… the storm of desire… wait, why do I feel like some of this sounds familiar… Kiana! Tell Bronya your birthday!"
Kiana hurriedly said: "I… why do I have to tell you my birthday! Himeko, you can't seriously believe this prank email, right!"
Mei spoke up from the side: "Bronya, Kiana's birthday is December 7th."
Bronya immediately entered it.
The warship system's voice rang out: "Navigation permissions obtained. Navigation destination changed. New destination: St. Freya Academy."
Kiana was stunned: "Eh? The startup password really is my birthday."
Mei remained very calm: "Once we fly the warship to St. Freya Academy, I believe everything will become clear. For now, it seems the person who sent the warship has no malicious intent…"
No sooner had she spoken
than Himeko's urgent voice came through the three's earpieces: "What happened? Bronya?"
Bronya's armor instantly changed.
She even said confusing words: "Valkyrie system, detecting abnormality in bio-chip… forcibly activating emergency control system, restarting."
"Switching to exclusion mode. Eliminate all surrounding enemies."
"Bronya?"
"Careful!"
Mei pushed Kiana away, and an energy cannon mercilessly swept across the spot where she had been standing.
"What's going on? Bronya?"
Kiana called out anxiously.
Himeko said: "Bronya has been controlled, you two…"
"Then I'll knock her awake!"
After learning the situation, Kiana charged forward first, while Mei supported from another direction.
The battle among the trio thus began.
The entire fight was fluid and decisive; the power of the armor was fully demonstrated. Bronya, after being corrupted, unleashed her power completely.
Everyone watching on site was thrilled beyond words.
Eden asked: "Who was your martial arts choreographer? These actions are too amazing."
Elysia replied: "There was no martial arts choreographer~"
"No choreographer?"
Eden was very surprised: "Then these actions?"
Mobius walked over to the two and said: "They were all designed by that man himself. To be honest, even I'm a little surprised that they turned out this effective."
Surprised?
Just a little surprised?
No…
These action sequences already rival the work of the top martial arts choreographers in the country, don't they?
It made sense—they were filming television for the first time and had only just formally entered the film and television industry, so it was normal that they wouldn't know.
That man—she absolutely had to meet him in person!
Eden thought to herself.
The battle on the television also came to an end.
Kiana found an opening and completely knocked Bronya out.
After seeing the signs of control on her body disappear, Mei hurriedly called to her.
"Bronya, wake up quickly!!"
Bronya, who had been unconscious, gradually regained consciousness amid the repeated calls: "Big Sister Mei, what just happened?"
Kiana also breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, you're finally awake."
Bronya recalled what had happened: "Bronya… could it be that Bronya's chip lost control just now…"
Himeko's voice also came through: "Communication restored? Bronya? Are you okay?"
"Bronya is fine… but after returning to the academy, Major Himeko, please arrange a full physical examination for Bronya. Bronya does not want to hold everyone back in any way."
In the final scene, the three rode the warship and flew toward the horizon.
Finally, a line of text appeared: Honkai Impact 3rd's opening chapter comes to a close here. The true story has only just begun.
Whew~
All the actresses let out a long breath.
Kiana said proudly: "So, how was it? I acted pretty well, right?"
Bronya said: "What acting skills do you have? You were basically just being yourself, weren't you? Look at Bronya—how well I performed the corruption at the end!"
Mei simply smiled from the side.
Himeko said: "Yes, yes, yes—you all acted very well."
"Of course!"
Kiana was very happy. The effect presented in this opening far exceeded her expectations.
She looked at Fu Hua and the others and asked: "What do you think of this Honkai Impact 3rd?"
Fu Hua thought seriously: "Hmm… I've never seen a film or television work like this, so I don't know what counts as good or bad, but personally, I really want to keep watching."
Kiana said excitedly: "Then that means it's good! What about you all?"
She turned to Rita and Cecilia.
The two seemed to be thinking about something—especially Rita, whose slightly furrowed brows clearly didn't match the current atmosphere.
This scene also caught the attentive Eden's eye.
