Inazuma, within the Tenshukaku, a woman with a purple braid who had been meditating slowly opened her eyes.
The woman's calm, stagnant eyes suddenly became lively. Her cherry lips slowly uttered two words: "Sister." This woman was Inazuma's true Electro Archon—Beelzebul, or rather, Raiden Ei.
Ei stared at the word "Revival" on the screen for a long time, unable to regain her senses.
Then, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind. "Inner self, this system is Eternity's enemy." The voice belonged to Inazuma's public-facing Electro Archon, the intelligent puppet Raiden Shogun, whom Ei had created using her own body and Khaenri'ah's technology.
"But we can't affect it, can we?" In fact, when the Livestream Room had first appeared, Raiden Shogun had tried to destroy it. Unfortunately, her blade had passed through it as though cutting air, leaving the Livestream Room completely unaffected.
With no other choice, she could only order everyone in Inazuma not to send comments at will.
But now, seeing that the system's reward truly possessed the power of revival, Ei was moved.
Sensing Ei's emotional stirrings, Raiden Shogun spoke up to remind her, "Inner self, we must destroy this Livestream Room. This Livestream Room has severely affected Eternity."
Unlike Ei, Raiden Shogun was merely a rigid artificial intelligence. She did not understand the feelings of humans or Gods, so to her, the power of revival would only undermine Inazuma's Eternity.
"Shogun, you need not say any more." As the Shogun's creator, Ei naturally understood her rigidity. Before confirming whether this Livestream Room could truly revive her sister, there was no need to fall out with the Shogun.
"However, in order to destroy the Livestream Room, we need to test its power."
"Inner self, what do you intend to do?"
"I intend to lift the order prohibiting the use of the Livestream Room. Let them answer as many questions as possible to earn rewards, then use those rewards to determine what this Livestream Room is truly capable of."
"Inner self, this is not what Eternity requires!" The Shogun's tone grew slightly harsher.
"But this is necessary if we are to destroy the Livestream Room." Ei spoke coldly to the Shogun...
"...Very well. We shall do as you say, inner self," the Shogun said helplessly.
Ei summoned Kujou Sara. After issuing new orders, she returned to the Plane of Euthymia.
The Shogun logged back in. Neither of them spoke again, but they both knew that if Ei or anyone in Inazuma gained the power of revival, the two of them would inevitably fight.
After all, to the Shogun, the previous Electro Archon was also Eternity's enemy.
In the Honkai Impact world, the atmosphere within World Serpent was tense and hostile.
"Raven, our lord requires that item." Gray Serpent spoke coldly to Raven before him.
"Oh~ Is that so? And what does that have to do with me?" Raven wore a hood, concealing her expression. "I'm not one of your people. We're merely in an employment relationship, and this is my reward."
"Of course, we won't ask you to hand it over for nothing." Having dealt with Raven for so long, Gray Serpent naturally understood what she meant. "As compensation, we can help you buy the small island you've set your sights on."
Raven was somewhat tempted, but she still said, "Hehe~ The final payment for that island is about to be settled. Do you really think that little money is enough to buy my revival item? Isn't that a bit naive?"
"We'll add another island." Raven said nothing.
"You can choose the island yourself." Raven's body trembled slightly.
Gray Serpent knew Raven was already tempted, so he calmly continued raising the offer.
"We can also help you merge the two islands. If you want to turn them into an archipelago, that can be arranged as well."
Raven's heart was beating faster and faster. Even with her hood on, the desire in her eyes was nearly impossible to conceal.
Gray Serpent could tell Raven was almost unable to hold out any longer, so he immediately pressed his advantage.
"Not only that, we'll cover the remaining payment for your current island, as well as the construction and decoration costs for the other two islands."
Hearing Gray Serpent's terms, Raven could no longer restrain herself. "Fine! Deal! But let's make one thing clear first: I don't know whether this can be transferred."
"It doesn't matter. Even if it cannot be transferred, as long as you are willing to give it to our lord."
Her dream had always been to own an island of her own, but if she could have a larger island, who would refuse? Besides, a revival item might be important to others, but to her, it was really nothing special.
If it had been when she was young, she might have wanted to revive her brother. But after so many years, she had long since let go. Now, she only wanted to peacefully spend her remaining years with the children.
So for Raven, trading a revival item for an island was an absolute steal!
[Raven: System, can this reward be transferred to someone else?] [System: Yes.] [Kiana: So it can be gifted after all?] [System: Of course. These rewards were originally given to you, so you may handle them however you wish.] [Otto: In that case, Miss Raven, if you are willing to gift your reward to me, Schicksal is willing to fulfill any of your requests.] [Welt: Anti-Entropy as well.] [Tesla: That's right! You absolutely must not give it to that bastard Otto, or who knows what that bastard might do!] [Herta: A revival item? Name your price. I want it. @Asta, put the bill on your account.] [Asta: ...] [Gray Serpent: My apologies, everyone. Miss Raven has already decided to gift this reward to our lord.] [Raven: That's right. Gray Serpent and I have already reached an agreement.] [Otto: What a pity.] [Herta: Tch. What a shortsighted little girl.] [Tesla: Forget it. As long as Otto doesn't get it, that's fine.] [Raven: System, then how do I give away the reward?] [System: Ding! The system has activated the Red Packet feature. Everyone may use the Red Packet feature to gift earned rewards.] [Raven sent Kevin an exclusive Red Packet.] [Kevin claimed the Red Packet.]
Within the Sea of Quanta, Kevin looked at the blue sphere that had suddenly appeared in his hand. In an instant, the method for using the "True Acquaint Fate" appeared in his mind.
"So I just need to throw it into the sky?" Kevin said as he tossed the "True Acquaint Fate" upward.
In an instant, the "True Acquaint Fate" vanished, and the surroundings changed immediately.
The Sea of Quanta had originally contained countless World Bubbles, but now, the space around Kevin had become a sky of blue heavens and white clouds.
Kevin looked up at the sky and saw a meteor suddenly falling toward him.
The meteor had originally been blue, but it gradually turned purple. Then, just before it landed, it turned gold.
At last, the golden light descended before Kevin, gradually taking the shape of a person...
(Guess who it will be?)
