Mihoyo Is So Incredibly Detail-Oriented, I'm Crying~ / Eden: Fu Hua Sacrificed Herself? Good Thing I'm a Himeko Fan...

In her urgency, Tesla spoke without pausing. "Restoring navigation will take time. At the current conversion output..."

Himeko said, "Calm down! Just tell me how much longer!"

Amid Tesla and Himeko's extremely hurried conversation, the players were immediately drawn deep into the story, their nerves tightening along with it.

MiHoYo Was Seriously So Detailed, I'm Crying~

Holy crap! The story was this intense right from the start?!

6666, I was so pumped that I kicked my family's plowing ox aside and plowed two acres myself.

6666, I was so pumped that I pinned my boss to the ground and beat him up. My coworkers were stunned.

6666, my little brother said he wasn't excited at all. I'm an only child now.

Unlike the livestream viewers, Eden found it rather strange.

"I remember Himeko and Tesla were captured, weren't they? How did they suddenly put on S-rank armor?"

"Why not keep playing and find out~?" Elysia giggled as she pushed the keyboard toward Eden. "Eden, why don't you control your beloved Aunt Himeko~?"

Eden did not refuse. After taking the keyboard, she first admired Himeko from every angle.

"This armor is designed really well..." Eden was not advertising Honkai Impact 3rd.

She genuinely liked this armor.

Its deep crimson color scheme, accented by black armor, was deadly without sacrificing beauty.

Its alluring yet not overly seductive style showcased Himeko's figure perfectly without being revealing. The wing-like cape on her back also added a touch of dominance to the armor.

If the Herrscher of the Void's outfit made people feel that she was noble and sacred, too untouchable to profane...

Then Himeko's armor was pure combat gear.

It displayed Himeko's beauty while making it obvious at a glance... that she was a powerful warrior.

This was an outfit Mo Li had specifically asked the system to fine-tune for the girls.

It was less revealing than the original armor, yet no worse in any way.

Eden controlled Himeko, swinging her greatsword with ferocious force.

Like chopping melons and vegetables, she quickly wiped out all the Death Warriors and Honkai beasts.

"Waaah~ So strong!" Elysia's eyes sparkled. "It's even stronger than Thunder Queen's Demon Armor~"

Eden nodded with a smile. "It really is impressive."

She was growing fonder and fonder of this character.

Then Eden selected the second stage. Once the game finished loading, the story finally connected to Chapter Eight.

Queen's Descent had destroyed a vast number of Anti-Entropy mechs, leaving only Mei facing off against the Herrscher of the Void.

Fortunately, Theresa arrived with the God Key to provide support at the crucial moment.

"Huh? This stage actually lets me control the Queen to defeat Theresa?" Eden was somewhat surprised.

The game actually let players control a villain and fight the protagonist.

Still, she was looking forward to playing as the Herrscher of the Void, and many viewers in the livestream were equally excited.

Once the stage finished loading, the Queen's distinctive voice rang out...

Honkai descends~☆

After some dialogue, the game finally began.

Attack, evade, combo attack.

This absolutely counted as Honkai Impact 3rd's first ranged character.

"The attack feedback is very strong, and it's incredibly smooth..." Eden softly evaluated as she controlled the Queen to utterly crush Theresa.

When the energy gauge was full enough to activate her ultimate, Eden instinctively pressed the button.

The screen shifted. The Queen soared into the air, spatial rifts appearing behind her one after another.

In a voice that disregarded all things, the Queen spoke those classic words: "This moment is... the hour of judgment~☆"

The next instant, incredibly dense cannon fire burst from the spatial rifts.

At the sight, the livestream Danmaku exploded.

Holy crap!! It's this move!!

This ultimate is way too gorgeous!! I love it!

Was this really necessary... putting so much effort into even an ultimate? But... MiHoYo is seriously amazing~

The snap plus the ultimate, compared to the CG, it's practically a perfect recreation! Must pull!

MiHoYo is trying to drain my blood, waaaah~~

Like the livestream viewers, Eden was stunned.

This game was truly unlike any other on the market... This team had put so much care into it.

A complete worldview, an excellent story, and meticulous details in every aspect... Perhaps it was precisely the team's dedication and responsibility that gave people such an immersive feeling...

Shaking off her random thoughts, Eden continued advancing the story.

The Herrscher of the Void's strength was completely beyond what Theresa and the others could resist.

Theresa was defeated, and the Herrscher Gem within Mei was seized by the Herrscher of the Void.

Just as everyone was beginning to despair, someone completely unexpected descended from the sky.

Fu Hua had come to save them.

At this point, that section of the stage came to an end.

In the next stage, however, the story changed again.

It opened with a conversation between Fu Hua and Rita.

After watching their exchange, Eden finally had a sudden realization.

"So it was told through flashbacks... No wonder the first stage's story felt so confusing... Now it all makes sense."

In the story, Rita went to settle Tesla down, while Fu Hua left a feather on the unconscious Himeko.

This scene was another piece of foreshadowing, making both the viewers and Eden silently remember the word "feather."

Next came Durandal's first appearance.

The strongest Valkyrie of Celestial Mandate and captain of the Immortal Blades had already been mentioned many times in the earlier story.

When she appeared, Elysia's eyes immediately lit up. "Hehe~ Another beautiful girl~"

The plot then quickly connected to the previous section.

Fu Hua no longer followed Otto's orders and chose to go rescue Theresa and the others alone.

This development finally confirmed that Fu Hua was not a bad person. She truly regarded Theresa and the others as companions.

But unfortunately, the Herrscher of the Void was simply too powerful.

Even with Fu Hua and Theresa joining forces, they were still no match for the Herrscher of the Void.

However, to everyone's surprise, Otto actually stepped in and saved them all.

In the earlier story, everyone had already regarded Otto as a villain.

Even the Herrscher of the Void had been deliberately awakened by that bastard Otto.

Since he saved the girls, I'll forgive him for two hours for now, Eden thought.

But as Otto and Fu Hua continued talking, everyone felt that something was increasingly wrong.

In the end, Otto actually shot Fu Hua!!?

Eden: Fu Hua Sacrificed Herself? Good Thing I'm a Himeko Fan...

What? The Class Monitor just died like that???

Holy crap? There's actually a plot like this? This has to be fake, right?

Otto!! You deserve to die!

Scarlet Bird Immortal? The Class Monitor's identity seems pretty extraordinary...

An immortal? The kind of immortal I'm thinking of?

Holy crap, I only just realized that every part of the Class Monitor's character is filled with Dragon Country elements.

Eden, hurry up and watch the next stage's story...

After watching that conversation, I hate Otto even more!!

Otto! Die for me!!

Eden was also stunned by the sudden gunshot.

She had never expected MiHoYo to be so bold as to write a character sacrifice plot, especially for a popular character in the gacha pool!!

Fortunately, she was a Himeko fan, so she could barely accept it...

She only felt somewhat sorry for Fu Hua's fans.

As for Otto's character setting, she found him extremely detestable.

This man would casually harm other people's lives for his own goals.

He would not even spare his own granddaughter Theresa. He was truly terrible.

Elysia had also been watching the game's story unfold. When she saw Fu Hua killed by Otto, she did not have any particularly strong reaction. She merely secretly glanced at Eden.

Only after seeing that the other woman had merely frowned did she relax. Still worried that Eden might be unhappy, she leaned close and hugged her arm.

"Eden, Eden, let's hurry and see what happens next~ Maybe there'll be a twist?"

Eden nodded gently and used the mouse to open the next stage.

It began with another short cinematic.

Himeko woke from her unconsciousness and checked her physical condition.

To the delight of Fu Hua fans in the livestream, Fu Hua reappeared in a different outfit and even gave Himeko a serum that could heal her body.

Seeing this, Eden's eyes flickered, and she felt a little happy inside.

That means Fu Hua isn't dead, and Himeko can use this serum to heal herself.

Elysia happily agreed, "That's right, that's right~ Beautiful girls are gifts bestowed upon the world by heaven~ The world becomes infinitely more splendid because of them~"

"So they will definitely be invincible~"

Eden smiled as well, her mood brightening as she continued watching the story unfold.

Himeko searched throughout Celestial Mandate headquarters and soon found Tesla, who had been tied up by Rita.

"Tesla's been found too!" Eden finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that none of the main cast had come to harm.

After she controlled Himeko and rescued Tesla, Tesla's furious voice immediately rang out in the game.

"That maid!! Don't let me see her again!"

Himeko asked curiously, "What did she do to you?"

"She actually dared to humiliate me!!" Tesla angrily shook her body while tied to the chair.
