Joining MiHoYo, the Savior Me is Targeted by Elysia

[Stabbing her? You're stabbing us!]

Perhaps it was because the video was so well-made, or perhaps because it was all a true story.

The audience had accepted the new setting, and the ache in their hearts intensified.

"A nobody like you, even if you die, no one will cry for you, right?"

"..."

Himeko lowered her head, her red bangs obscuring her expression.

"Hahaha! Looks like I was right!"

Himeko's silence was met with the Herrscher of the Void's unrestrained laughter.

At this moment, the world-destroying Herrscher was overjoyed. Defeating an enemy by exploiting the flaws in human nature gave it even more pleasure than crushing them with brute force.

"Heh... heh..."

But just as the Herrscher of the Void was about to finish off Himeko, it heard a relieved laugh.

"You're a truly despicable one... do you know how hurtful those words are?"

Himeko stood up again, even though her body was battered and broken, even though her skin was stained with blood, even though her breathing was rapid and weak...

Yet, gripping the God-Slaying Greatsword, she showed no sign of wavering.

"But sadly, even I, who am not favored by the gods, have people who will cry for me."

At that moment, Himeko's mind was filled with images of Ye Ming.

—You should be awake by now, right?

—What expression will you have when you find I'm not by your side?

—With your intelligence, you'll surely know the truth soon.

—I hope you won't be too sad then.

—When the tears are all dried up, please forget me and start a new life.

"Ha... ha..."

Adjusting her breathing, Himeko was ready to burn herself out completely.

And before squeezing out the last of her life force, Himeko seemed to think of something.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, her eyes full of regret.

"If only... I had kissed him back then."

—Rumble!

In an instant! A loud noise attracted everyone's attention.

The Herrscher of the Void's imaginary space, unique to it, was nearly shattered by the intense impact.

Although this void space was immediately repaired, someone had still broken in.

"Ye... Ming...?"

Even through several layers of thick armor plating, Himeko could feel a familiar presence from within the mecha.

"Damn rat! How dare you sneak in here!"

"You're calling my BT... a rat?"

Ye Ming, piloting the mecha, swung the massive greatsword in his hand, comparable to a building, scattering countless Honkai Beast blood.

23. You won't get stabbed for liking BT, right?

"Ye Ming, is that you?"

Himeko felt Ye Ming's presence, but she still couldn't believe it.

Seeing the figure of her beloved before death only made her feel like she was dreaming.

"I've come to pick you up, Himeko."

Ye Ming opened the cockpit's protective plate, giving Himeko a smile.

"It really is you..."

Just one face, one expression, one voice, was enough to fill Himeko's nearly burnt-out heart with happiness.

"But... why?!"

From Himeko's perspective, Ye Ming was just an ordinary person, and the kind that made people want to protect him.

But now, he was piloting a mecha, breaking into the cage of the world-destroyer.

"Explanations can wait, there are other things to do now."

Sensing the danger approaching, Ye Ming quickly put down the armor plate, blocking the Queen's Spear of Subspace.

"The technology of mere humans... it's actually quite sturdy."

Although it didn't feel any pressure, the Herrscher of the Void still noticed that the mecha before it was different from the machines that had besieged it before.

"Heh, what a pity. I don't have time to tell you about my story with BT…"

Ye Ming pulled the greatsword from the ground, using his own power to activate BT's.

"Otherwise, you would understand just what you're facing right now!"

Fierce power erupted from the back of the mech, the pressure of the air alone clearing away all the debris on the ground.

The massive figure charged forward, its imposing aura actually overshadowing the world-ending Queen's cruelty.

——Rumble!

For the sake of her own dignity, the Herrscher of the Void didn't evade, choosing to meet Ye Ming's charge head-on.

The two forces collided, tilting the entire Imaginary Space, causing countless crystals hanging in the air to sway.

The clash seemed to be a draw. The Queen used her power over space-time to block the greatsword and began to erode it with Honkai energy, but Ye Ming showed no intention of backing down.

"It's not over yet!"

The inscriptions on BT's body lit up in an instant, and power not belonging to this world surrounded BT, forming one magical array after another, each emitting a faint light.

"This is!?"

The Queen, astonished by this unfamiliar power, revealed a slight opening for a moment.

Ye Ming seized the opportunity, temporarily abandoning the greatsword suppressed by the Queen, using BT's arms to seize her, and then crashed down with a bang.

The two smashed into the crystals in the Imaginary Space like comets, the aftershock of the impact blasting star-like craters into the thick platform.

But Ye Ming and BT used the power of the inscriptions to force themselves into the air at the moment of impact, avoiding damage.

"No… this is impossible?!"

The Queen, lying in the crater, showed a flustered expression for the first time. From the moment Ye Ming broke in, she had been unable to understand the situation before her.

However, viewers who had seen the Queen's Descent knew very well that she couldn't be defeated with just this much.

"Insignificant ant!"

The enraged Queen wouldn't allow anyone to look down on her. Flapping her wings, she instantly flew to the very top of the Imaginary Space.

"Die!"

She raised both arms, activating all the surrounding crystals. This time, she didn't rush to launch them, but instead continuously accumulated power in order to kill her enemy with a single blow.

Gradually, almost all the crystals floating in the Imaginary Space were gathered by the Queen, as if the water basin of the heavens had been overturned, using this solid flood as divine punishment to annihilate everything below.

From Himeko's perspective, it looked as if "the sky was falling."

"BT, put all energy into reinforcing the torso!"

"Torso reinforcement complete. Ye Ming, it seems you and I are thinking the same thing."

The well-coordinated pair seemed to have already discussed a plan, but even so, they didn't dare relax in the slightest in the face of this suffocating pressure.

"Aaaaaah!"

After accumulating power to the limit, the Queen roared and smashed the sky-covering crystals down on Ye Ming.

The blow, as if the sky was collapsing, left no room for dodging. Even the most solid defense couldn't withstand being buried after the impact.

In that case, what needed to be done was clear—there was no other way to go but to defeat it head-on!

"BT!"

"Fixed knob released, limb enhancement complete, interception commencing!"

BT put down its arms and then began to spin its body frantically, using its massive body to create a devastating tornado.

The raging gale was a hundred times sharper than metal blades. The moment it came into contact with the crystals, it tore apart the front-end crystal blocks, and then continuously reduced the volume of the crystals like a peeling machine.

Under the impact of this incomparably sharp gale, enough to tear apart metal and stone, the original sky-shattering attack was forcibly reduced by Ye Ming to the size of only a mountain peak.

"You think you can stop it!?"

But… a mountain peak was still a mountain peak! The Queen, constantly injecting Honkai energy into the crystal, gave this mountain peak endless kinetic energy!

Even a storm like a thousand blades chopping at the same time would eventually have a moment when it broke.

Before long, the crystal-formed cannonballs and spears rushed into the eye of the storm, seemingly about to crush BT's body.

"High-frequency vibration activated! Full power operation!"

At the critical moment, BT's body began to vibrate at an ultra-high speed invisible to the naked eye, bouncing away the Queen's void crystals one by one.

[Using rotation to deflect projectiles, and then using high-frequency vibration to deflect attacks…]

[Isn't this just pure science?! Basic physics!]

[Using the power of magic to implement the laws of physics, awesome!]

BT became famous in one battle, and more and more viewers no longer regarded it as Ye Ming's tool, but as a character.

[Anyone become a fan of BT?]

[Me me me! BT's dorky and reliable feeling is great]

[This is boyfriend power, I'm simping for BT]

[Liking a robot shouldn't lead to getting stabbed with feels, right?]

[Exactly, I'm stanning BT now, let's see who can hurt me.]

BT's dazzling performance had the viewers spamming the chat with excitement, but Ye Ming, who was on the scene, couldn't share their optimism.

"BT, damage report..."

"Hull damage exceeds 60%, energy core is also becoming unstable. Ye Ming, we need to end this quickly."

24. An Unfinished Story

"End this quickly, huh?"

Ye Ming looked up at the Queen towering above him. She wasn't attacking at the moment, likely also fatigued.

Victory or defeat would be decided in the next instant.

"BT, time it right, switch to auto-mode."

"Understood, be careful out there."

Ye Ming piloted BT as they charged towards the Queen once more.

However, this time their flight speed was noticeably slower than before.

It seemed that BT's mention of an unstable energy core was weighing heavily on Ye Ming's mind.

"Damn it! Why do you persist?!"

Unable to find a decisive strategy, the Queen could only wield the Spear of Subspace and engage Ye Ming in a deadly dance. They entered a war of attrition, each waiting for the other to fall.
