"Today, I've managed to coax Griseo over here~~!"

Griseo is a member of the Elysian Realm, rarely showing her face, occasionally streaming her art.

However, she doesn't need the popularity of online streaming, because Griseo is one of the most well-known artists of our time.

The audience present may not have watched her streams much, but not a single person would miss her artwork.

"May the stars light your path forward, everyone, let's begin~~"

As the sweet voice rang out, the silent audience immediately became excited.

Elysia first threw a cute wink at the camera, and then turned the screen over to Griseo.

[It's really Griseo! Awei is dead!] [Is Griseo-sensei a girl? So cute!] [She was originally a beautiful girl artist, you fake fan.]

In the picture, Griseo was wearing a white dress, her blue hair reaching down to her fair calves.

Wearing a beret, she perfectly blended the aura of an artist with the cuteness of a young girl.

"Elysia-neechan, what's the matter you wanted to see me for today?"

"Aiya, don't call me neechan, just call me Elysia-imouto~~"

[Elysia-imouto... Pfft!] [So Elysia cares about age too?]

Faced with Elysia's request, Griseo said with a wronged expression:

"It's because you made me call you imouto, and then call Mobius-obaasan grandma, that's why she got angry."

"Haiya~~ Sometimes pranks are also a manifestation of love, you know."

Elysia said with a smile while stroking Griseo's head:

"Okay~! Don't keep frowning, today we're going to play a very fun game~! Cheer up~!"

"That..."

Griseo said, troubled:

"Because I made Mobius-obaasan angry, I want to draw a warm, cheerful work to give to her, I don't really want to play any dark-themed games."

Griseo's paintings are easily influenced by the outside world, so she has such concerns.

"That's perfect~! Honkai Impact 3rd perfectly meets your requirements! Not only are the characters beautiful, but the story is also very positive and uplifting~!"

"Really?"

Griseo looked innocent, as if she had forgotten how Elysia had tricked her before.

"Of course, it's true! Let's experience it together today~!"

Elysia said expectantly:

"The new version's main story is sure to let you draw the warmest and most cheerful work!"

15. Trust the Planners (Three Updates Today)

Griseo had also come into contact with Honkai Impact 3rd before, because she heard the art style was good, so she went to play it.

Her account progress was a little behind Elysia's, but she knew the general gist of the earlier story.

The St. Freya Academy Arc story was indeed quite cheerful, so Griseo didn't suspect anything.

"Everyone, Griseo still has to catch up on a bit of the main story, let's pull some cards and wait for her~~"

Because the new version had just opened, most players hadn't really progressed much, for no other reason than wanting to play with Elysia.

In other words, the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were all experiencing the latest main story of the current version together with Elysia.

"Elysia-nee... imouto, I've done the main story up to the latest chapter."

"Hehe, from now on, Elysia and Griseo, two beautiful girls, are going to bring Kiana home~~"

What Elysia said to Griseo before was not a deception, up to this moment, her and the players' views were the same.

The villain BOSS has entered the gacha pool to become a character on our side, the ending must be a happy one, right? What else could it be?

"After the Queen's Descent, the whole world has fallen into a great crisis."

Inside the live broadcast room, Griseo and Elysia's delicate faces appeared on either side of the screen, while the game screen was in the middle.

A high concentration of Honkai energy was detected in Kiana's body, and the signals from the mechs deployed by the advance team all disappeared.

Honkai Beasts were constantly pouring into the real world from the void wormholes, and the Hyperion was also severely damaged.

As soon as the story began, the sky-filled sea of fire and countless wounded immediately made the players realize the magnitude and tragedy of this war.

Then came the stages to experience the characters, first using Himeko in her S-rank Valkyrie armor to kill in all directions.

Later on, they could even control the Herrscher of the Void to fight Theresa.

This design also made Elysia and the players exclaim in amazement:

[Good grief, MiHoYo is racking its brains to sell characters.]

[No one's actually falling for this, right? What do you mean I whaled? Never mind then.]

After that, players saw Himeko collapse from her injuries in the story, and Fu Hua left behind a feather as foreshadowing.

After Theresa was defeated by the Herrscher of the Void, Fu Hua came to the rescue, but the Herrscher of the Void was too powerful, and she ended up getting beaten badly.

At a critical moment, Otto stepped in to block the attack, saving everyone while also shooting Fu Hua in the head.

[What the hell?! Fu Hua died?!]

[How dare he hit my class monitor! Otto, you old thief, you're dead meat!]

[I'm going to use Otto's skull as a bowl!]

From Elysia's perspective, there were only a few lines of comments.

The reason was simple: thousands of people were cursing Otto, and after the platform blocked out the swear words, only a few lines remained.

"Sister Elysia..."

Griseo looked at Elysia with a resentful expression, not even calling her "sister" anymore. It seemed her mood had soured.

"W-wait a minute!"

Elysia was uncharacteristically flustered. She quickly explained:

"There will definitely be a twist in the later story! He wouldn't let a beautiful girl die."

"He? Who?"

"Uh... I mean... the game developers."

Elysia tried to stabilize Griseo's wavering heart while quickly advancing the main storyline, wanting to find evidence that Fu Hua was still alive as soon as possible.

The good news was that Fu Hua was indeed fine. Not only was she not dead, but she had also changed her outfit and appeared before Himeko.

"See! Cute girls are invincible!"

"Mm... Sister Elysia didn't lie to me after all."

"Hehe~~ And look, Fu Hua brought Himeko a serum to heal her body, which eliminates the foreshadowing of Himeko's injuries from before."

After that, Elysia continued to push the main story forward with Griseo and the general audience.

After experiencing the scene where Tesla was teased by the maid Rita, everyone's tense mood finally relaxed.

Then, Tesla and Himeko found records about the serum.

There was a drug called the "God-Slaying Spear" that could weaken the Honkai energy in a Herrscher's body, making it a Herrscher-killing weapon.

And the serum that Fu Hua gave to Himeko was the key to making the God-Slaying Spear.

Himeko handed the serum over to Tesla, asking her to complete the creation of the God-Slaying Spear, which made the players sweat.

[It's okay, trust Fu Hua]

[Trust the serum]

[Trust the developers]

[Are the developers trustworthy?]

After that, Himeko found a Valkyrie armor, which was Vermilion Knight: Eclipse from the trailers.

This God-Slaying armor was equipped with the Plague Gem, which allowed the wearer to wield the power of the Herrscher of Flames.

But everything came at a price, and the power of God-Slaying would also increase the burden on the user.

[Another burden?]

[Himeko's body won't be able to handle it, right?]

To take care of Griseo's mood, Elysia ignored these comments and quickly changed the subject:

"Himeko's mature and handsome appearance is really exciting. I really want to dote on her~~"

Especially when she saw Himeko facing the Herrscher of the Void and saying:

"What? So even gods bleed~~"

Elysia, covering her face, almost screamed.

Not just this DD head, but millions of viewers and players were also captivated by Himeko.

Originally, the focus of this banner was the Herrscher of the Void, but now more and more people wanted to pull Vermilion Knight Himeko.

"Strange, the atmosphere has been built up to this point, so why haven't they defeated the Herrscher of the Void yet?"

Logically speaking, after foreshadowing so much about "God-Slaying" and having Himeko appear as a hero, the battle should be over.

But the Herrscher of the Void was only temporarily repelled, and Kiana was not successfully retrieved.

"Hehe, good things take time, right? If the game is too short, players will complain."

Elysia happily took Griseo's hand, held her delicate fingers, and clicked the play button for the next short video.

On the Hyperion, in a lower deck passageway, Himeko leaned against the railing outside the medical bay, a constant stream of people rushing past her with the wounded.

To avoid taking up precious medical resources, Himeko subconsciously hid her wound, which had cut deep into her bone.

"The bleeding... it won't stop, will it?"

Drip, drip...

The fluid meant to sustain life dripped onto the scorching floor, turning into a scarlet mist that dissipated.

Himeko needed treatment more than anyone, but she also knew that no treatment could improve her current condition.

The wounds sustained in battle, the side effects of the modification experiments, the Stigmata, Honkai energy, the erosion from the God-Slaying Armor...

A variety of pains, as if competing with each other, eagerly squeezed out what little life force Himeko had left.

"This time, I've really gone and done it."

16. Elysia: Don't panic, it's just a technical adjustment.

"This time, I've really gone and done it."

Himeko's voice was full of self-mockery, and at the same time, a mournful elegy echoed.

No one answered Himeko's words; only a vial of serum flickered with a faint light, reflecting a face full of scars.

This serum was originally Himeko's only hope for survival.

As long as she injected it, it would clear the Honkai energy in her body, and the so-called side effects of the modification experiments would naturally disappear.

But as it happened, it was also the only hope that could save Kiana.
