Art Is Firepower!

Back to the video.

Although Ye Li had drawn away the Judgment-class Honkai Beast Benares, the Helios was still under attack from a swarm of Honkai Beasts.

Himeko struggled to support herself with her greatsword and tried to stand, but the corrosion of Honkai Energy forced her back to her knees.

"Major Himeko!" Raiden Mei's voice came from the hatch as a blue plasma afterimage streaked across the night sky.

The instant her katana left its sheath, three Honkai Beasts closing in on Himeko were frozen solid by an icy slash.

Bronya's Heavy-duty Bunny followed close behind, deploying a quantum shield in front of Himeko and blocking another wave of attacks.

"You..." Himeko had barely begun to speak when Mei steadied her by the shoulder.

"Don't talk. Treat your wounds first." Mei quickly checked Himeko's injuries, her brows tightly furrowed.

Meanwhile, Bronya controlled Heavy-duty Bunny and joined the other Valkyries in setting up a temporary defensive line on the deck.

However, there were simply too many Honkai Beasts.

Even with Mei and Bronya's fire support, the defensive line was still being steadily pushed back.

Faced with the endless enemy forces, everyone's stamina was rapidly draining away.

"This can't go on..." Mei's breathing grew hurried, and the purple power within her began to destabilize as well.

A Honkai Beast seized an opening, breached the defensive line, and charged directly into their formation.

At that critical moment, several blue beams suddenly lit up the sky.

Amid the thunderous roar of machinery, Anti-Entropy's Titan Mech force descended like heavenly soldiers, landing precisely across the deck.

The lead blue mech smashed the Honkai Beast that had broken through the line into dust with a single punch.

"Looks like we arrived at just the right time." Dr. Einstein's calm voice came through the communicator.

Hearing that familiar voice through the communicator, Theresa, who had been frowning the whole time, finally let out a sigh of relief.

"You're finally here! What took you so long, Einstein?"

"Schicksal Headquarters' defenses were extremely tight, but fortunately, we found a large hole in the eggshell." Einstein answered evenly.

"I hope you came prepared," Theresa said.

"I won't disappoint you, Ms. Theresa."

The moment she finished speaking, the heavens were suddenly torn apart by a shower of blue meteors.

Several mechs in different paint schemes descended amid plasma trails. The lead Thunder God Mech even unfolded dense rows of mortars from its back.

"I have led the Ballista Squadron to rendezvous with our allies," Einstein's voice sounded through the communicator. "We will now assist our allies in eliminating the enemies along the route."

In a blinding stream of light, every Honkai Beast on the battleship's deck was instantly wiped out.

"They actually... wiped out all the Honkai Beasts in one strike?"

Looking at the few remaining red dots on the central control system, Theresa was utterly incredulous.

Likewise, the people in the real world were filled with emotion at the art of firepower brought by the mechs.

Art is firepower!

Damn Honkai, taste the might of our great Anti-Entropy technology!

Real men should pilot mechs! MiHoYo's writers really get it!

My blood is boiling just watching this!

Things are looking up! With Anti-Entropy's mechs joining the fight, what bullshit Honkai, what Schicksal? None of them can stand a chance!

This round, the advantage is ours!

The chief has spoken wisely!!!

Meanwhile, at the Senba Academy faculty office.

A certain teacher who wished to remain anonymous was staring fixedly at his phone.

More precisely, he was staring fixedly at the dazzling mech on his phone screen.

Watching Anti-Entropy's mechs slaughter enemies left and right in the video, Mr. Welt Yang, who did not wish to reveal his name, felt like he was about to burst into flames.

"Of course, mechs are a man's ultimate romance!"

With that, Welt Yang immediately logged onto an online shopping site and ordered another Aragami mech figure.

Back to the video.

Apparently enjoying the stunned expressions of her allies, Einstein, who was known for her rationality, made a rare joke.

"Ms. Theresa, I would actually be quite happy to demonstrate our new weapon, specially prepared for this operation, a few more times for everyone at St. Freya.

"But unfortunately, it seems the enemy cannot hold out that long~"

The moment Einstein finished speaking, a somewhat impatient voice sounded over the communications channel.

"Hey! Bird's Nest Head, quit running your mouth! There are still so many Honkai Beasts ahead. Do you even have a battle plan or not?!"

Faced with the other woman's questioning, Einstein replied casually.

"Dr. Tesla, you should learn to relax your nerves appropriately. When dealing with enemies like these, my plan has always been—no plan."

Tesla: Bird's Nest Head, I'll censor censor censor you!!!

With the help of the large Anti-Entropy mech force, the last Honkai Beast also vanished into the dust.

After the crisis was resolved, the people aboard the Helios began coordinating with Anti-Entropy.

"The Honkai Beasts along the route have been cleared, Ms. Theresa. We can begin the operation at any time."

Einstein stepped down from her mech. "However, your warship looks considerably smaller than before."

"Following your suggestion, we plan to fuse that thing inside the Moonlight Throne into the Hyperion's main engine."

Theresa said, "Don't worry. It won't be long before the modified Hyperion can come support us."

"Thanks for the effort. With that, all the actors and props have been assembled."

After finishing her conversation with Theresa, Tesla's voice sounded again over Einstein's communication channel.

"Bird's Nest Head, my troops are in position too, but are you sure about this?"

Tesla said, "We deployed nearly seventy percent of our mechs for this operation. I'm a little worried about that vixen Cocolia guarding headquarters."

"Dr. Tesla, we cannot allow Otto's plan to succeed. No matter the cost, we must stop Honkai from descending once more. This is for that person... and for Anti-Entropy."

Although Einstein's tone remained calm on the surface, the flicker in her eyes revealed the turmoil in her heart.

Einstein looked at everyone making preparations for battle and muttered to herself:

"I've placed such a large bet on all of you. Don't disappoint me, Ms. Theresa.

"How many years has it been since we returned to headquarters, Dr. Tesla?

"Looking at this place, I cannot help but think of those old friends' names.

"Edison... Planck... and...

"But... now is not the time for nostalgia. We still have an important mission.

"Sleeping Beauty is waiting for us."

Along with Einstein's calm words, glaring red text appeared on the screen.

"File_xxx"

"Recorded time - 113 Minutes Before World Collapse."

Holy shit, these subtitles are stirring things up.

Does this mean this Honkai disaster is definitely going to descend?

Damn it, then what were Ye Li and the others fighting for?!

Relax, relax. With Ye Tiandi here, any Honkai disaster is easy to handle!

Stop jinxing it, brothers. I'm scared you'll jinx Ye Li right out of the story.

He definitely won't go offline. If Ye Li does, I'll livestream myself eating a Lao Ba burger!

Amid the viewers' discussion in the scrolling comments, the video shifted to ten thousand meters above the ground.

Having chosen to lure Benares away by himself, Ye Li was now kneeling on one knee atop a floating fragment of an airborne island.

Whether it was his torn trench coat or the longsword in his hand that was on the verge of breaking, both told of the savagery of the battle.

Blood ran down his arm and dripped onto the ground. Ye Li stared at the layers of rolling clouds, his expression grave.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens.

Ye Li's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because he realized that the dragon's roar had come from behind him.

He spun around, only to find that the savage dragon head was already right in front of him!

Amid the viewers' dense barrage of comments, the screen went black again, displaying the classic words.
