Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Becomes My Spokesperson

And now…

Himeko clicked on the anime short.

[Even if the long night is endless and the eons without end, I will become the stars and ignite hope!]

The theme song "Sky Dome Meteor" had already been released by Eden.

Both players and Himeko had listened to it on repeat countless times.

Now, seeing this title, combined with the style of "Sky Dome Meteor"…

They could vaguely guess that this anime short was Kiana's response to Himeko.

The grown-up Kiana had finally let go of the past and inherited Himeko's will.

If the long night is endless, then I will become the stars and ignite hope… Your vow will be fulfilled by me!

This was definitely going to be a passionate short film!

It used three whole chapters of story to narrate Kiana's growth, and then a high-energy short film to let players witness the grown-up Kiana!!

As expected of you, MiHoYo, playing with player emotions like this… you're a master at it!

A faint smile appeared on Himeko's lips. Filled with emotion and excitement, she began to watch the anime short with full attention.

The scene opened with a World Serpent logo.

Immediately after, Kiana leaped up, using her small body to shield the logo.

The scene shifted. Kiana moved with the grace of a swallow, speeding through the city filled with cyberpunk aesthetics.

The camera work was incredibly smooth, with no dead angles or unnecessary shots.

Any viewer with some understanding of anime production could tell that the camera work in this short was even more mature than in "Angel Rebuild."

590 knew that this kind of parkour chase scene was the most challenging for camera operation.

Following that, the camera zoomed out, revealing numerous skyscrapers standing silently in the city.

The only white dot moving in the frame was Kiana.

Compared to the skyscraper she was climbing, Kiana appeared so tiny.

When Kiana reached the top of the skyscraper, the entire city's appearance was fully revealed to the players.

The distant tall tower pierced straight into the clouds, making one worry about Kiana.

"They're here…"

It was an inexplicable sentence, but Himeko immediately remembered that in "The Last Lesson," Himeko had also said this as she rushed towards her death…

"No way…" Himeko began to feel a sense of unease.

Before she could think further, Kiana pulled out a baseball bat in the video, and the music gradually became more urgent.

Countless invisible mechs materialized.

Kiana responded to the mechs' attacks with incredible fluidity.

Dodging and weaving, the artillery fire was particularly dazzling in the night sky.

The audience watched with excitement.

Until a Titan mech blocked Kiana's path, which indeed slowed her down.

It was clear that against a Titan mech, the White Comet battlesuit struggled.

Seeing that she was outmatched, Kiana had no choice but to use the Herrscher of the Void's authority.

Before the Titan's heavy fist could hit Kiana, a spatial rift suddenly appeared.

The Titan mech had no time to retract its attack. Its heavy fist passed through the spatial rift and emerged from behind it.

With this single powerful punch, even the Titan mech was instantly destroyed.

But at the last moment, the Titan mech fired countless missiles at Kiana.

In the nick of time, Kiana activated Herrscher of the Void's time-space fracture, and with an extremely cool pose, she leaped onto the tall tower by stepping on these missiles.

This sequence of fluid camera transitions and intense combat earned continuous cheers from the audience.

[So cool!!]

[Why isn't my White Comet this strong?]

[It's Kiana time now!!]

[To be honest, it's not as impactful as "Queen's Descent," but it still made my blood boil]

At this point, Himeko was completely immersed in the story.

Seeing Kiana finally reach the top of the tower in the short film, she let out a deep sigh of relief.

"This is it. I have to disarm the bomb quickly!"

Kiana didn't hesitate and rushed towards the bomb, but before she could get close, terrifying Honkai energy repelled her backward.

As Kiana struggled to grip the Honkai energy bomb, the theme song of "Sky Dome Meteor" played at the perfect moment.

Just a short, melodious piano piece was enough to completely stir the players' emotions.

In the scene, Kiana's eyes turned golden.

This was the unique mark of the Herrscher of the Void.

She clutched her head with one hand, seemingly worried about the Herrscher of the Void's personality reawakening.

Eden's beautiful voice softly sang out, and Himeko's figure slowly appeared, gently taking Kiana's hand.

"Kiana..."

This soft call made Kiana's heart tremble.

She looked up at Himeko with disbelief...

The other woman simply returned a encouraging smile, saying nothing more...

"Himeko... Teacher..."

This scene also stunned the audience watching the short film.

They understood that the Himeko shown on screen was merely Kiana's hallucination.

She didn't speak, only watched Kiana with a smile.

And this scene, combined with Eden's soft humming, instantly broke through the players' hearts.

Himeko, watching this scene on her computer, also covered her mouth, her eyes trembling slightly.

Even though it was just a memory-like scene, for some reason, she couldn't quite suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Yes... I promised you..."

Himeko's figure disappeared, but it completely awakened Kiana's will.

She painstakingly turned the bomb, letting the powerful Honkai energy wash over her body.

Her classic white braided hair scattered in the wind, looking incredibly beautiful.

"I will turn this imperfect story..."

"Into what we hoped it would be!!"

Himeko's back flashed by, and Kiana unleashed all her strength.

"Ah!!" With Kiana's full-throated cry, the bomb was finally ejected.

The EOS Battleship's engines, engulfed in terrifying Honkai energy, shot into the sky.

Kiana had also completely unleashed the Herrscher of the Void's power.

Her Valkyrie White Comet battlesuit slowly transformed into the Queen's luxurious formal attire, and she gently floated towards the Honkai energy bomb she controlled.

Her panting breaths made everyone watching feel immense sympathy.

And when Kiana looked up, the crowd finally noticed that her eyes were not golden, but a hopeful blue...

She pushed the Honkai energy bomb, made from the EOS engine, with all her might, rapidly flying towards the sky.

Under the glow of the night sky, it was like a light of hope, streaking across the entire night sky of Sky Dome City.

The song "Sky Dome Meteor" reached its climax at this moment.

[Crash against the barrier above the crowd]

[Flaring up pieces in the air to show a fairy starfall.]

Accompanied by Eden's soaring and powerful vocals, the audience's emotions were pushed to their peak.

It was a very passionate storyline, but in this atmosphere, it brought tears to Himeko's eyes.

Countless viewers also found their emotions hard to calm.

They wanted to shout out, to release the emotions that had been suppressed for so long.

But the fear of social embarrassment meant they could only vent their feelings in the live stream's bullet comments.

This caused the bullet comments in the live stream to surge instantly.

The dense text almost covered the entire screen.

[Even if the night is long and eternity without end, I will become a star and ignite hope!!]

[Kiana!!! Ah~~~]

[I'm completely stunned... Ahhhh... I have no idea how to express my current emotions... MiHoYo is awesome!!]

So sweet, sob sob sob~~~ So epic, sob sob sob~~ But why are my eyes welling up with tears!!

[Love Kiana so much!! Love Himeko! Honkai Impact 3rd is amazing!!]

[Stop making games and make anime, please!!]

[As expected, MiHoYo's animated shorts never disappoint!!]

[Especially Kiana's main story arc~~ It has excitement, emotion, and quality!!]

[I'm so happy to have discovered Honkai Impact 3rd at the best age of my life. Thank you to the production team for the emotions and impact you've brought me!! A]

[648!! Top up!]

I'll never curse MiHoYo again, sob sob sob~~

[Darkness dawns, illuminating the morning!! This is the most beautiful meteor I've ever seen!!]

In the scene, Kiana gave her all, pushing the Honkai energy bomb out of Sky Dome City.

Immediately after, the terrifying explosion turned the entire night sky into daylight.

"This is... my promise..."

As Kiana's final whisper faded, the scene shifted back to the sky above Sky Dome City.

Everything was as it was at the beginning of the video...

Only a single white point of light slowly descended.

"Kiana..." Mei's anxious figure appeared on screen.

Mei had naturally seen the meteor that had illuminated the entire night sky.

Could Kiana really withstand such a terrifying Honkai energy bomb?

This unknown outcome not only made Mei anxious, but the viewers were equally worried.
