Mei was about to be killed, but fortunately, an Adversity Quotient Mecha saved her at the critical moment.

Immediately afterward, rows upon rows of Adversity Quotient Mechas appeared. Urgent yet grand music began playing in the video.

Countless mechas charged straight at the Herrscher of the Void, creating an immensely spectacular scene.

The majestic music, paired with the current plot, left the livestream viewers completely stunned.

Even the Danmaku thinned out by a huge margin in an instant.

"Wow~ With so many mechas, the Herrscher of the Void probably can't handle them all, right~"

"Ahhh~ This is so freaking hype!"

"Herrscher of the Void, give Kiana back to me!!"

Raging wind while your visage fades away

As your visage withered, raging winds rose

Where the world lies in pieces at my feet

This was the world shattered beneath my feet

Onscreen, the moment the music began, the Queen raised both hands, and the sky around her instantly darkened.

Then, countless Void rifts appeared in the sky behind her, and innumerable Honkai beasts flew out from them.

In that scene, the Herrscher of the Void truly looked like a Queen. With a mere wave of her delicate hand, she could command countless Honkai beasts to fight for her.

Ahhh...

So cool!!

Queen, step on me!!

Beautiful girls, mechas, the Queen's gaze that looked down upon the world, and this incomparably passionate scene sent the livestream viewers into a complete frenzy.

Eden stared blankly at the grand scene onscreen, listening to that song sung in an operatic voice.

She was genuinely stunned. Games could be made like this? Wasn't this a little too serious? Wouldn't it be better to just make an anime?

"Wow, wow~ The Herrscher of the Void is so imposing! I'm liking this game more and more~" The lively and spirited Elysia was likewise utterly amazed by this anime-like short film.

She had never imagined that this game could draw her in so thoroughly.

Countless mechas and Honkai beasts clashed fiercely.

The Herrscher of the Void's narration also made everyone understand that this Queen truly loathed the world, openly declaring that she wanted to destroy it.

I... am Honkai!!

That line was simply domineering to the extreme.

But the CG was not over yet.

Naturally, Inverse Business's mechas would not allow the Queen to continue running wild.

The densely packed mechas lined up in neat formation and methodically switched to long-range weapons.

Their target was the Herrscher of the Void floating high in the sky.

The next second, artillery fire filled the heavens, forming streaks of meteors in the night sky as they raced toward the Queen.

In just two minutes, the scene had made countless players start to like this villain—the Herrscher of the Void!

As countless heavy mecha cannons locked onto the Queen, the viewers instinctively began to worry.

Yet in the face of such dense artillery fire, the Queen merely smiled faintly, as though she did not take the attack seriously at all.

The next moment, the majestic music came to an abrupt stop. The Queen raised one hand slightly and snapped her fingers.

"Snap~"

The crisp sound echoed through the air, as though it had struck directly against the players' hearts.

Hail my proud queen, on and on and on and on

(Long live the Queen, without end)

The incomparably majestic music began again. Combined with the spectacular images in the video... the livestream viewers felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.

It was too breathtaking!!

Countless spatial rifts were summoned by the Queen's snap.

Every shell fired by the mechas, without exception, was redirected into those spatial rifts.

Once the artillery fire had all been absorbed, the spatial rifts gradually vanished, only to open one after another behind the mecha army.

The artillery fire that the Adversity Quotient Mechas had just launched shot back out from the spatial rifts.

Before the mecha army could even react, it was completely swallowed by the bombardment...

This scene fully displayed the Herrscher of the Void's power.

No matter how many mechas there were, the Queen could suppress them all with one hand.

This! Was a world-destroying... Herrscher...

The image showed Kiana—the Herrscher of the Void.

Eden's Popularity Really Was This Terrifying?

Hail my proud queen, on and on and on and on

Long live the Queen, without end

Selah, selah, are chanting evermore

The refrain went on without end

The camera slowly pulled back, revealing the entire Celestial Mandate harbor as though it were the end of the world.

Countless Inverse Business entropy mechas were wiped out like ants with a single snap of the Queen's fingers.

Paired with the song "Befall," the video displayed the terror of a Herrscher-level existence to the fullest.

Whether it was the livestream viewers or Eden in front of her computer, they all seemed to feel the pressure emanating from the Herrscher of the Void.

All that could be said was that this short film had been made far too perfectly.

And that was indeed the case.

The Herrschers introduced later never delivered a CG performance as shocking as "Queen's Descent."

Even the Herrscher of Sentience suffered a setback in her own short film...

All that could be said was that among the Herrscher descent shorts, in terms of sheer impact, "Queen's Descent" was absolutely peak-tier.

Whether it was the music or the camerawork, everything was beyond reproach.

The budget was insane!!!

Queen, step on me, ahhh!!

Holy crap! MiHoYo is freaking awesome... They made this so polished??

The Queen's voice echoed without end!!

Long live the Queen!

Sob sob~ She'd already become a Herrscher, yet she still avoided Mei when attacking. And you say they aren't lesbians?

My goosebumps fell all over the floor...

This production... It made my scalp go numb...

Mom asked why I was watching on my knees, and I told her the Queen's pressure was too overwhelming!

Setting aside the livestream Danmaku for the moment, even someone with Elysia's temperament was thoroughly stunned by this animated CG.

"Wow, wow, wow~~ So amazing~ Is this what a Herrscher is like, Eden? Did you see that? One snap destroyed countless mechas!"

"As expected, cute girls are invincible in battle~"

Elysia exclaimed as she shook Eden's arm.

Only then did Eden finally recover from the plot.

She had truly felt the pressure of a Herrscher just now, and that strong sense of immersion was precisely what proved the video's exceptional quality.

She did not understand anime production, but she knew music all too well!

After taking a deep breath, she said in a very serious tone, "Mm, it really was impressive..."

"Huh? Then when Eden says it was impressive, do you mean MiHoYo Studio, or the Herrscher of the Void?"

Looking at the mischievous Elysia, Eden smiled helplessly. "Of course I'm praising Elysia~ You actually found such an outstanding game. That really is impressive~"

"Hehe~ Elysia will forever remember every word of praise Eden gives her~"

Eden smiled and returned her attention to the video.

At this point, the short film had already ended, and the song "Befall" was playing over the ending.

As a musician, Eden was naturally curious about the song that had left such a powerful impression on her.

After analyzing it for a while, Eden discovered that the song itself was not particularly remarkable.

But when paired with this short film... it became truly stunning.

It could be said that half the credit for the CG's immense impact on her belonged to this soundtrack.

Seeing Eden lost in thought, Elysia grew curious and waved a hand in front of her. "Eden is right beside Elysia, yet she can still space out~"

"Could it be that Elysia isn't attractive enough for you? Hehe~"

Eden rolled her eyes at her. "Elysia, stop fooling around for now. I'm analyzing this song~"

"Huh? So Elysia is actually less attractive to Eden than a song~" Elysia pretended to sigh. "How heartbreaking~"

The next second, Elysia giggled again. "Just kidding~"

"Eden, is this song really that good?"

"It really is quite good." Eden nodded with a smile. "Didn't you just get so moved by it that you were shouting too?"

"No way~ I was just livening up the atmosphere... Fine, I really was surprised~ But I was amazed by the Queen's aura, you know~"

"The reason you felt so amazed was largely because of this song..."

After hearing Eden's words, Elysia seemed to think of something, and her eyes lit up.

"Hehe~ I understand now. It's like Eden and Elysia. Without Eden, Elysia wouldn't shine so brilliantly either, right?"

"More or less." Eden looked at Elysia fondly. "It's getting late. Let's go have dinner~"

"Okay~" After agreeing, Elysia waved at the livestream camera. "A thoughtful tip from Elysia—"

"Only by eating and sleeping on time can you become as beautiful and charming as Elysia~"

After she finished speaking... with a "snap~," the livestream went black.

At the moment the stream ended, the viewer count in the upper-right corner stood at two million.

Elysia ended her stream shortly after seven in the evening.

After an entire afternoon of streaming, news of Eden appearing in Elysia's livestream had long since reached the trending searches.

Of the top ten trending topics, a full five were about Eden.

Honkai Impact 3rd had also benefited from Eden's popularity, with three topics squeezing into the top ten.
