"Hello, everyone! It's Pardo! Welco back to my stream!"
As Pardo Felis went live, a massive wave of fans imdiately flooded the chat to greet her.
[Pardo didn't bring Can today?]
[What's the point of a stream without the main attraction? I want to see Can!]
[Exactly! Give us the cat!]
In her usual shop-vlogging streams, Pardo would always bring Can along. After all, such a cute, clever, and witty little kitten was born to be eaten by its mother... cough, no, born to be "digitally petted" by the audience. But ever since Can accidentally stepped on Pardo's keyboard during a "Deep Abyss" challenge, leading to her Valkyrie being smashed to death by a Titan... Pardo dared not let the cat on screen during gaming sessions.
[Hmm? Is Pardo not at ho today?]
Soon, so eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the background of today's stream was different from usual.
[Is it a shop vlog today? But didn't the announcent say it was a Honkai Impact 3rd gaming stream?]
[Pardo's announcent last night ntioned playing Honkai 3rd and inviting a mysterious guest.]
Facing the audience, Pardo Felis smiled and said, "Actually, Pardo has specifically changed locations for today's stream. Can everyone guess where Pardo is right now?"
[Didn't the announcent ntion a mysterious guest?]
[Is it President Kiana and i?]
[But weren't they on last ti? They have jobs; it's probably impossible for them to co every ti, right?]
[Then it's unclear.]
[Wait, is Pardo perhaps at the mysterious guest's ho?]
The chat was buzzing with speculation about the identity of the mysterious guest.
"Alright, I won't keep you in suspense! Actually, the mysterious guest for today is Mr. Su Mu, who appeared in the Honkai 3rd version preview earlier!"
Pardo turned the cara toward Su Mu.
"Brother Su Mu, co say hi to everyone!"
Wearing his mask, Su Mu waved to the cara. "Hello everyone, I'm the Ga Director of miHoYo and the lead designer and writer for Honkai Impact 3rd, Su Mu. I'm happy to be here in Pardo's stream to et you all!"
[???]
[Wait, Pardo invited the writer as a guest?]
[Holy crap, Pardo's got serious connections to get the lead writer to stream!]
[Isn't the stream dynamic going to be explosive? If the new plot is good, we praise him; if it's trash, can we just diss him directly?]
[Nonsense, if God Su dares to show up, it ans he's confident in his writing!]
[But why is God Su wearing a mask today too?]
The reason Su Mu wore the mask was Bronya's strict demand. Given the plots he had written, she wondered how he had the nerve to use words like "healthy, sunny, and heartwarming." If he didn't wear a mask, a fan might actually "love him to death" with a literal spear.
Su Mu's presence was a significant surprise for the viewers.
[Pardo is truly capable to get God Su here. Seeing you have such status, 'Mother' is finally at ease.]
[I can now proudly tell others I watched Pardo grow up.]
Many old fans felt emotional; they had been with Pardo since she was a small-ti strear, witnessing her rise to beco a top-tier star.
"That's right! Right now, Pardo is streaming from Brother Su Mu's ho! Hehe, by the way, I specifically checked under his bed, and there's nothing there~"
[Who hides things under the bed nowadays?]
[Who even reads physical adult magazines anymore? Everyone just goes online!]
[Ah! You're wrong there. The feel of a physical book is sothing a webpage can't compare to. The tactile sensation of skin against paper is like...]
[Damn, the netizens are getting more 'talented' by the day.]
Pardo coughed a few tis. "Ahem! Actually, today I didn't just invite Brother Su Mu as a guest. I also invited soone you absolutely will not guess!"
[Another guest?]
[Absolutely won't guess? Is it Principal Theresa?]
[Please, Theresa is the famous idol Teriri in real life; how could she have ti to be a guest here?]
Pardo stopped teasing and turned the cara to the third person in the room. The mont that familiar red hair appeared, the livestream completely exploded.
[Holy crap! Auntie Hiko?]
[No way, Pardo, where did you find Auntie Hiko?]
[This is too powerful! It's literally the [Vermilion Blade]version featuring Hiko's new armor, and you invited the woman herself...]
[I'll just say it: there's a reason Pardo is famous!]
It was no wonder the audience was shocked. While Kiana and Raiden i had surprised them before, this was on another level. Kiana was the boss of miHoYo, so her appearing wasn't unthinkable. Raiden i was close friends with Kiana, so inviting her wasn't hard either. But Murata Hiko being a guest was truly unexpected.
Compared to figures like Theresa, Welt, or Otto, Hiko wasn't particularly famous; those who knew her were mostly in the academic world. She didn't overlap with the gaming community at all. Many had even suspected that Hiko didn't have a real-life prototype. But here she was, in the flesh, in this very livestream.
[There really is a prototype... I just checked HOMU-pedia; Auntie Hiko is a full professor at St. Freya University.]
[A full professor? My god, I suddenly feel like this stream has beco highbrow and academic...]
[I thought soone in that position would be stiff, but Auntie Hiko doesn't look like that at all...]
Inviting a world-certified first-class university professor to be a stream guest was indeed quite ridiculous. Especially since she was the protagonist of the [Vermilion Blade]version.
Hiko had been invited because Pardo, while preparing at Su Mu's house, happened to run into Hiko visiting to ask about Firefly. Pardo thought inviting Hiko would produce great content. Under Su Mu's request, even though Hiko was a "lazy dog" who wanted to go ho and drink, she couldn't refuse since Su Mu was helping her with Firefly's situation.
"Hello everyone, I'm Murata Hiko." Hiko nodded to the cara with a smile. She wasn't particularly interested in streaming or gas. As a mature adult, her primary interest was alcohol. So, while she knew Honkai Impact 3rd was popular, she hadn't looked into it deeply. However, her friend Herta seed obsessed with it and was always playing it on her phone during their drinking sessions.
After Su Mu and Pardo gave her a brief explanation, Hiko understood. "Oh, so this version is releasing an armor for my character? Not bad. It seems Big Sister Hiko didn't dote on you for nothing!" Hiko draped an arm over Su Mu's shoulder and laughed.
Hearing about the ga's terrifying earning power, Hiko was happy to be the featured character. Next ti she went to a drinking party, she could brag to Herta and the others! Look! This is the phenonal ga Honkai 3rd! I'm the main character of this version! Are you jealous?! Haha!
[Hello, Auntie Hiko!]
[Auntie Hiko looks even more beautiful and charming than in the ga!]
[Agreed, agreed!]
"Auntie... Hiko?" Seeing the nickna in the chat, Murata Hiko's smile instantly vanished. "To say such rude things to a woman in the pri of her youth... it seems I need to teach you all a lesson in respecting won."
[Auntie Hiko is angry!]
[Hiko Big... Sister!]
[The number one taboo for won is their age! You idiots!]
After the brief cody, the maintenance for Honkai Impact 3rd finally ended. After downloading the update, Pardo successfully entered the ga! She imdiately looked at the update log.
This update opened the Main Story Chapter 9: [The Journey to Tomorrow]. It added a new area to the Schicksal HQ Open World—Helheim—and a new high-difficulty challenge, the Files of the God-Keys. It also added the Chronicles [Dilemma Dream], [Gratitude], and [Kallen Fantasy].
Murata Hiko's S-rank battlesuit [Vermilion Knight: Eclipse]joined the fray, along with the weapon [Surt, the Godslayer]and the [Thales]Stigma set. Kiana's Herrscher of the Void received a new 9600-Crystal skin: [Winter Princess]! Furthermore, there was a ti-limited event doubling the Crystals from the Monthly Card!
[Besides the main story, there are so many new side stories?]
[Kallen Fantasy? Does Kallen's story have a sequel?]
[Winter Princess looks so good! I'm pulling for it!!]
[Double Crystals for the Monthly Card? Even f2p players are gonna have to 'crack open the gold coins' (spend) now!]
After skimming the announcent, Pardo Felis couldn't wait to open the latest main story stage. Like the anxious audience, what she wanted to see most was the new plot!
[The Journey to Tomorrow? It seems this chapter will indeed be a showdown with the Herrscher of the Void!]
[The cover with Hiko holding the sword is so cool!]
[Hurry, Pardo! I can't wait!]
Watching Theresa and i's desperate resistance, the Herrscher seed to enjoy herself. She didn't strike personally at first, letting Bella fight them. Just as Bella's dragon breath was about to hit them, an unexpected person appeared.
[Yamabuki Armor—Limiters Released! Operating at maximum power!]
The one who appeared was Bronya, who had previously been unconscious! She wore a yellow-thed Valkyrie armor with a HOMU pin on her chest. Project Bunny was equipped with a terrifyingly powerful black cannon—the Divine Key: Star of Eden! A weapon made from the Herrscher Core of the Ninth Herrscher of the Previous Era, capable of gravity manipulation, shield generation, and creating pseudo-black holes.
["Long ti no see, i-oneesama, Principal. It seems Bronya arrived just in ti—I've rested long enough. Bronya, returning to the squad!"]
Bronya's sudden rescue made many "Duck fans" in the chat burst into tears.
[Holy crap! The Duck who spent Chapters 5 through 8 lying down is finally a hero!]
[Four chapters! After four chapters, Bronya is finally back!]
[Damn, the trio is finally reunited!]
[Uh, well, reunited technically, but Kiana... is now a Herrscher.]
Under the excited gazes of the fans, Pardo controlled Theresa, i, and Bronya to fight Benares together. With their cooperation, Benares was pushed back. The Herrscher of the Void snorted and prepared to take the stage herself. In the next instant, she used her power to teleport the three to an unknown location, cutting off communication with the Hyperion.
Though Theresa unleashed the power of [Violet Executrix]and fought alongside i and Bronya, the Herrscher's power was simply too terrifying. Soon, Theresa was caught. Her small body was thrown into the air, her neck gripped tightly, and her limbs locked by invisible forces. Theresa tried to use Judah to bind the Herrscher, but because the Herrscher possessed the Gem of Serenity, Judah's chains had no effect on her.
[Facing the struggling trio, the Herrscher of the Void's eyes filled with mockery.]
["Do you want to take back this body? Do you want to save this girl?"]
["Is she that important a partner? That important a family mber?"]
["Did you create precious, sweet mories together? Did you make unbreakable promises?"]
["In that case—"]
[Her tone turned venomous and intense.]
["Let use her body, her hands, to kill you one by one!"]
["Let the people she cherishes most suffer the most vile agony and the most cruel death in their attempt to save her."]
["Let the beautiful past shatter bit by bit, fading into despair and grief!"]
["I want your twisted faces and broken limbs to be the last sight she ever sees!"]
["Family, friends, happiness, dreams, the future, hope—"]
["...She should not have them, does not deserve them, and will never have them!"]
This speech left the fans stunned. On one hand, the writing was top-tier; on the other, the voice acting was phenonal! It felt like being right there, feeling the crushing pressure from the Herrscher!
[Damn, the Queen's eloquence is that good?]
[Level 10 literature teaching session?]
[I get it—sealed for fourteen years, she's just been thinking about how to look cool. Brothers, type 'I understand' in the chat!]
[Thank you for the speech, My Queen!]
In the ga, the Herrscher of the Void took the Gem of Conquest from Raiden i's body. Feeling the imnse power within her, she looked down at the "ants" below.
["Co, beco sacrifices for a God—Now is the ti for judgnt!"]
Just as Theresa and Bronya were about to break, a black dot suddenly appeared on the horizon. As it grew larger, they finally saw who it was. The figure landed in front of them, shielding Theresa and Bronya!
The newcor was Fu Hua in the [Shadow Knight: Moon]armor!
At the sa ti, in the Schicksal Arc City branch, Little Senti, who was playing Honkai 3rd, suddenly shouted. "Holy crap! Old Tir, you ca to save the day!"
Fu Hua wasn't surprised by her in-ga appearance. "The Fu Hua in the ga isn't a bad person. Although I don't know why she cooperated with Otto, she wouldn't want Theresa and the others to get hurt..."
Senti grinned: "I knew it! How could the Old Tir be a villain? You're the Guardian of Shenzhou, the Phoenix! This ti, it's a full-on hero's entrance! So cool!"
Unlike Senti's optimistic view, Fu Hua felt that this battle would be incredibly difficult. "No... the Second Herrscher's current strength is so terrifying that even soone like Theresa, whose strength rivals an S-rank Valkyrie, can't do anything... I'm afraid my in-ga self will be no match for her either."
