The familiar yet abhorrent voice, his illusory figure appearing on screen, is enough for viewers to guess his identity just by his silhouette, but unfortunately, they are ultimately left behind by a lack of information.

"Team leader..."

A figure carrying a greatsword on his back in the dimly lit station.

"It's agreed that our third team must return safely."

The scene shifts to a flashback, where the three people who appeared on the cover are shown together. It appears to be Mei taking a selfie, with Carol excitedly reaching out her hands behind her and Adam leaning against her.

The scene then shifts to a battle between three people, who are killing a circle of monsters.

Their familiar silhouettes reappeared, and this time, Mei drew her sword, the blade reflecting her resolute expression.

"You will not be allowed to harm my team members."

Mei, knife in hand, stood in front of Carol and Adam.

"Otto is like a persistent ghost, he's everywhere. Could Otto be the final villain in this web series too?"

"Mei, why bother with blades when dealing with Otto? Just use the power of the Herrscher of Thunder to cut him down!"

"That's a bit strange. What does 'third team' mean?" Sirin asked directly.

The viewers in the live stream were very willing to answer the Queen's questions in the chat.

"Perhaps it's a squad that Mei joined after World Serpent?"

"Isn't that a huge difference?"

Sirin sensed something was wrong.

"Indeed, Mei was quite indifferent to the World Serpent members at the Mei of the previous movie, so how could she be so close to the members of the World Serpent squad in the web series?"

"That makes sense!"

"Like I said, what if it happens after the Honkai ends?"

"Otto is already dead, how could he possibly survive Honkai Otto?"

The comments section was filled with opinions, and the argument was raging.

Sirin couldn't be bothered to care about them.

Continue watching the promotional video.

Adam was knocked down and lay on the ground, struggling to get up. With a scream, Adam and Carol stared in disbelief at Mei, whose abdomen had been pierced.

The background music became sad and depressing.

The scene from the memory reappeared, Mei said gently, "Promise me, never be reckless."

"Depend on!"

No matter who it is, where they are, or what time it is, when they see this scene in the promotional video, they all say, "Damn, this is so familiar."

"Could that kid have been right? Is Mei really going to follow Himeko's path after the Honkai?"

"Damn it, I don't care who this screenwriter is, but if he actually dares to kill Mei, he'll be treated the Dog Otto."

"Is Honkai 3rd going to trample on veterans to make way for newcomers?"

"Surely not? It feels like a misleading preview. Mei just went through the Sinners Elegy, and there's still a long storyline to come. If they really kill Mei, what about Honkai unfinished Mei arc?"

Sirin didn't care about any of this. She openly took out her phone in the live broadcast room and called a certain office worker who was at work.

"Hey, Sirin, what's wrong?"

The Kiana's voice made the live stream lively.

Kiana, have you seen the trailer?

Kiana, on the other end of the phone, said speechlessly, "Have you forgotten that I've already started working here? I've read the script, not to mention the promotional video."

Sirin fell silent.

He hung up the phone without saying a word.

She really forgot.

Kiana stared blankly at the person who had hung up the phone, and muttered, "Did you go stupid from studying?"

"Like attracts like," Little Knowledge shook his head.

"Get out!"

After Sirin hung up the phone, the live stream chat was flooded with "hahaha" comments once again.

"What are you laughing at!"

Sirin's shouts did not stop the barrage of comments; instead, they only increased.

Bella watched Sirin's retreating figure.

Her Queen does have a certain live-streaming appeal.

"Your Queen, why didn't you take the opportunity to get some information out of the Kiana earlier?"

Some viewers encouraged this by commenting in the live chat.

Sirin clenched her fist. "That's right, with Brainless Idiot's intelligence, I could have easily tricked it. What a pity, why did it die so young!"

"I'm sorry, Captain, I have to break my promise to you..."

A raging fire erupted on the sword.

Adam swung his sword.

The camera abruptly shifted, leaving the viewer stunned.

"No, I want to see this guy's most exciting moments!"

"Fire-type greatsword users are superior; just think about Kevin's treatment, and in this web series, this guy seems to be the main character."

"Adam, if I remember correctly, his name should be Adam."

Sirin was eating potato chips.

"Wow, that's a really powerful name. The first man in the Eden."

"How did Your Queen know? Did you read the script too?"

Sirin said with a look of exasperation, "Are you guys stupid? The characters in the Honkai series are basically based on real people. I've met Adam before."

The comments section was filled with envy.

The camera pans to a speeding train, where a blue-haired boy is excitedly looking outside, while Welt Young, who is deep in thought, is suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Hello, old friend, isn't this a coincidence?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Welt Yang's pupils contracted, and he turned around to look at the person in shock.

"Once again, you rejected my invitation; once again, you came before me."

Chapter 277 Second Creation: Transcendence of Virtue

"Welt Young is still alive?"

I don't know when it started, but the viewers in Sirin's live stream gradually went from criticizing her to accepting the "prophet" and the timeline of the end of the Honkai.

But before they could even begin to persecute Welt Yang, that familiar, flippant voice made them reveal the same expression as Welt Yang in the promotional video.

Shock.

If Welt Yang's survival of the Honkai was surprising yet somewhat expected, then Otto's existence only brought them shock.

Although his entire figure wasn't revealed, just from that silhouette and those smooth, blond hair, there was no doubt that only one name came to mind.

Otto Apocalypse.

"Good people don't live long, but evil ones live a thousand years. I knew Otto couldn't die. If the mastermind behind this isn't Otto, I'll eat him."

"Dude, you were saying just a second ago that you'd eat anything as long as the Honkai 3rd timeline ended, and now the web series' name has been confirmed as 'Post-Honkai Odyssey.' When are you going to start streaming?"

Amidst the banter and laughter, the vast majority of viewers still couldn't believe that Otto could actually survive the end of the Honkai.

Given Otto's personality, unless he has already resurrected Kallen, he will definitely cause trouble.

That's what the audience was thinking.

The trailer for "Post-Honkai Odyssey" attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was released. The previous web series "Durandal" was criticized for too many settings, and people hoped that this web series could make a comeback.

"By the way, I always felt that Mei's voice acting was a bit strange."

Sirin had this feeling from the beginning of the promotional video, but she never said it.

However, just because Sirin, who frequently hears Mei's voice, can recognize it doesn't mean the audience can.

"No, it's normal to mature at this age. It's just that Mei's voice acting is really good."

Most viewers in the live stream had this mindset.

Sirin didn't say anything more.

After leaving the promotional video, Sirin searched for some fan-made content on the official website.

However, the quality of fan art on the official website is obviously not very high. Since Schicksal released the character modeling data, all that has appeared are videos of characters dancing. In fact, based on Schicksal's power, they don't even dare to touch on the edge.

Sirin gradually lost patience.

"Your Queen, stop looking. Let us continue to enjoy your performance; we're tired of seeing it all."

"Your Queen, I've found a fantastic fan-made video!"

"What? Send it out so I can take a look."

Sirin became interested.

She doesn't want to watch web dramas with tons of jargon and overly artsy vibes; she wants to watch some kind of persecution, especially fan-made works that persecute Brainless Idiot.

Unfortunately, the fan art on the official website is either dancing or has hair as thin as that of the TV reporter Dawei.

Truly engaging derivative works are few and far between.

When the fan sent her a link, Sirin wasn't wary at all and didn't worry about any viruses in the link. She clicked on it directly.

The page redirects to the Collapse Official Website.

The video begins with a cute, cartoonish art style.

A chibi version of Theresa stands before Kiana, her pupils bloodshot.

"Comics, HOMU, bitter melon juice—when I inherited the title of headmaster, I also got everything I wanted."

Theresa's voice has a very mechanical feel, clearly synthesized by AI, but even so, it still makes people burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I thought it was pretty classy at first, but after hearing what the little dwarf said, I suddenly feel... kind of funny!"

Sirin couldn't stop laughing.

"But... there isn't much money under this position for me to squander. I'm just playing the role of an insignificant mascot."

Theresa grabbed Kiana's shoulders and shook her violently.

"... But why should I play the role of a mascot who suffers setbacks...?"

Theresa's tone was supposed to be excited, but it became unusually comical thanks to the AI.

"That's right, I took your allowance to buy the collector's edition of the HOMU manga, and I also... withheld Himeko's salary!"

"I did what Grandpa couldn't do; I've surpassed him!!!"

"Are you crazy!" The chibi Kiana barely suppressed her anger.

"I'm not crazy, I've defeated Grandma Kallen...!"

Denelisa released her grip on Kiana's shoulder, Kiana immediately started waving her arms and trying to rush forward, but was stopped by the chibi Mei grabbed her waist.

"This is my own right, my own money, this is... the real me!"
