After driving away the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Pardo controlled Kiana and successfully boarded the Selene. Upon landing on the deck, Kiana established communication with her superior, Murata Hiko. There were only thirty minutes left before the battleship's programd self-destruction. They had to seize control of the vessel to protect Canghai City!
At that mont, Kiana's teammates also reached their designated positions! However, the conversation between Kiana and Hiko left the stream viewers sowhat dumbfounded. This cool-looking white-haired girl had "i" this and "i" that on her lips; her entire head was filled with nothing but i. She was even willing to abandon the original plan just to regroup with her.
"I can't stand it for even another minute! I haven't seen i for 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 38 seconds!"
She even uttered such shocking words!
[Pfft!]
[Is this Valkyrie nad Kiana a dummy?]
[Confird, this hot-blooded, white-haired idiot girl is definitely our protagonist!]
[Indeed, this kind of setting screams 'protagonist' at first glance!]
Twenty minutes after the stream started, just as Su Mu had predicted, Kiana actually arrived on the scene. Under Bronya's nearly murderous gaze, Kiana walked into the studio while pressing her hands together in apology.
At this ti, after the dialogue ended, Pardo controlled Kiana into the combat stage. But this stage shifted into a side-scrolling format, requiring the player to control Kiana as she jumped back and forth across the Selene to defeat enemies...
[Eh? Another white-haired girl has appeared? Did miHoYo really spend that much?]
[Wait, this white-haired girl looks so much like the Kiana in the ga!]
[It's not just 'looks like,' she is the prototype for Kiana! Didn't you know?]
[No wonder they look so similar!]
Kiana enthusiastically greeted the viewers and joined the stream, but her gaze occasionally flickered toward a small slip of paper in her palm. Bronya had shoved it to her earlier.
"What does this an? Bronya said to wait for her signal, then open the paper and shout the words on it..."
Pardo and Elysia didn't notice Kiana's odd behavior; both were focused on the broadcast. In the ga, Kiana successfully regrouped with Raiden i, even saying shaful lines like, "With i here, it's like having the strength of a hundred people."
This made the real Kiana's eyes widen. "That guy Su Mu is talking pure nonsense! He's slandering !" Although she and i had a great relationship in school, seeing their relationship portrayed so closely in the ga made her happy, but... it was slander! Definitely!!
Once Kiana and i regrouped in-ga, Pardo was able to control i's [Valkyrie: Crimson Impulse]. The biological-attribute battlesuit, with its high-tech armor and i's cool swordsmanship, drew waves of cheers from the audience.
At this point, the system explained the elental counter system. Each attribute has a cycle of strengths and weaknesses, and damage values fluctuate accordingly. Furthermore, a team can consist of up to three Valkyries, and eting specific conditions triggers flashy QTE skills!
As the gaplay progressed, so observant viewers noticed sothing interesting.
[Kiana is clearly using dual pistols as weapons, right? But I haven't seen her fire them once?]
[She's holding guns but mostly just punching and kicking, or summoning giant cat paws!]
[Wait, is this the legendary... Gun Kata?]
In reality, the design of Kiana's Gun Kata had deep aning. Gun Kata was originally intended to complent the Shamash, but Kiana's incomplete style involved rushing in to punch and kick, only firing the guns occasionally for flair... well, it truly fit the "hot-blooded idiot" character archetype.
Elysia looked at i in the ga, her eyes sparkling. "While Kiana's kitty paws are cute, i's swordsmanship is definitely cooler~"
Kiana raised her head proudly like a little peacock. "Of course! i is a master of the sword! With holding guns and i holding a blade, it's the perfect combination!"
Elysia: "Mmm~ I wonder what weapons Pardo and I will use? I'm really looking forward to the day we debut!"
[Elysia and Pardo will also appear as characters?]
[Don't you know? Honkai Impact 3rd has obtained character licenses! Even Welt Yang from Anti-Entropy Entertainnt will have a chance to appear!]
[Yes! According to reliable sources, Eden will also join the ga as a playable character!]
Just as Su Mu had thought: if soone made a ga featuring Jackie Chan, Louis Koo, and Nick Cheung all mixed together, regardless of the ga's quality, that mash-up alone would be enough to make people download it. Honkai Impact 3rd was doing exactly that. By using real-life figures as prototypes, this point alone was enough to drive players wild!
In the stream, Pardo continued to control the characters. Kiana and i coordinated and soon reached the stern of the ship. At this mont, the plot triggered again.
An Emperor-class Honkai Beast suddenly manifested in the sky, surrounded by smaller minions. The "Emperor-class" represents the limit of lower Honkai Beasts; any beast with destructive power exceeding this line is categorized as Emperor-class or Judgnt-class. The appearance of this Emperor-class beast brought a massive sense of pressure!
Outnumbered, Kiana was quickly defeated. Just as she was about to be struck by the beast, i stepped forward!
"I can't... fall here! At least I have to let Kiana..."
i, struggling to withstand the attack, suddenly erupted with a blinding light! Imdiately following was the sound of a rapid siren!
"Detecting Third Herrscher activity. Restraint program, active."
In the next instant, Raiden i's eyes turned a sinister and eerie red. Her entire aura shifted from a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko to a Queen looking down upon all living beings!
"Go to hell! Scum!"
As Raiden i unleashed a blade-strike wreathed in lightning, the Honkai Beasts before her were sliced through like tofu. The surrounding enemies were reduced to fragnts in an instant!
The plot was at its peak. Kiana, srized by i's cool performance, almost cheered out loud. At that mont, Bronya tapped on the studio window to signal her. Kiana snapped back to her senses, hurriedly opened the slip of paper, and without reading it closely, shouted the words written on it.
"i is too cool! I can't take it! I want to be Queen i's dog!!"
Pardofelis: "???" Elysia: "~♫~ My, what a bold statent!" Stream Viewers: "??!"
In Arc City, at the Corp branch office, at Raiden i's workstation: Raiden i: "Pfft!!" She nearly sprayed her coffee across the desk. "Kiana, what on earth are you suddenly babbling about?!"
In the studio, Kiana realized sothing was wrong imdiately after shouting! The codic effect of the scene was dialed to the maximum.
Su Mu looked at Bronya beside him. "Regardless of anything else, Bronya, that was a bit..."
Bronya huffed. "Who told her to be late? This is her punishnt. I am still very angry!"
"I don't an that. What I an is..." A helpless smile appeared on Su Mu's face. "Are you sure that was a punishnt, and not a reward?"
Bronya: "Σ(O_O)?!"
