Theresa had barely finished speaking when she was met with a Himeko. Himeko, Himeko face filled with murderous intent, said, enunciating each word clearly, "Theresa, tell me, where did my funds go?"

Theresa, who had just been so domineering, vanished in an instant.

"Himeko, no!"

By the time the video finished playing, Sirin was already laughing so hard she was doubled over.

"Hahaha, that's brilliant! I have to call my old uncle."

"Hahaha, this person must have a master mentor behind him."

"This isn't a master; he's clearly a sorcerer."

"Suddenly, Yang ChaoYue's segment felt a bit cheap."

"How dare you! Do you look down on Lady Theresa of the Herrscher Academy?!"

Sirin turned off the phone and dialed Yaqing's number.

Yaqing answered the phone immediately.

"Hey old man, I'll send you a fan-made video for you to watch."

Sirin's words were concise and to the point; by the time she finished speaking, the video had already been transmitted to Yaqing.

Yaqing looked completely bewildered.

"Then you keep an eye on it, I'm hanging up now." Sirin hung up the phone in a hurry; he had more important people to notify.

"Hey, Aunt... I'm sending you a parody video, take a look."

Sirin was struggling to suppress her laughter; she was finding it really difficult to hold it in.

Theresa also looked completely bewildered.

However, after watching the video, Sirin could hear the sharp, violent noise coming from Theresa's office from her own dormitory.

"Quick, quick, Bella, go lock the door!" Sirin said in a panic.

After watching the video, Yaqing was far away in the company building, couldn't stop laughing. She bent over with laughter and slapped her desk hard.

"Hahaha, I can already imagine Theresa's reaction when she sees this."

Yaqing only remembered after she finished laughing.

"Eating people, eating people!"

Yaqing rubbed his hands like a fly.

Of course, his use of the term "cannibalism" was not what it literally meant.

"What's wrong? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

Salome was busy when she was suddenly called by a phone call.

"Take a look at this fan-made piece."

Yaqing turned the laptop around.

After watching it, Salome laughed and had the same thought as Yaqing.

"We have to eat it!"

Chapter 278 The Decimation Lieutenant, Immer

After watching the fan-made video, Salome immediately contacted the creator using the official account on the website.

Yaqing highly approves of Salome's work ability and attitude; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to be a hands-off manager, working from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. every day.

North of Changkong City in the Far East, inside the Aponia Sanatorium.

Aponia was watching cartoons with several children, while Kalpas, wearing an apron and with a sour face, was making formula for the children, occasionally touching the bottle to check the temperature.

"Hey, don't pull my hair!"

Pardo lay lazily on the carpet.

Suddenly, a few older, mischievous kids came over and started pulling on Pardo's shoulder-length brown hair. Pardo, hurt by the pulling, couldn't bring herself to retaliate, so she could only shout loudly.

"Cough cough."

Little Void walked over, coughed lightly, and glared at him.

Those mischievous kids looked like they'd seen a demon, and ran away as fast as they could.

"Pardo, to deal with these three little guys, we need to scare them a bit."

Little Void sat down next to Pardo.

Pardo scratched the soft flesh around her waist.

"I think Little Void is right."

Sitting cross-legged on the clean floor, the light-yellow-haired man looked approving. He held a sleeping child who looked no more than two or three years old in his arms, propped his head up, and watched the three pink pigs stomping in the mud on TV with a bored expression.

"Sister Pardo, look, Immer said the same thing."

When Little Void saw that someone recognized her, she proudly raised her neck, like a swan.

"Immer, you come here and take these over."

Kalpas had prepared dozens of bottles of milk powder, shouted.

"They're here."

With her short, light yellow hair Immer gently handed the sleeping child in her arms to Little Void, stood up, and helped Kalpas distribute the warm baby bottles to the children one by one.

After doing all this, Immer's phone rang, and he opened it in confusion.

I initially thought it was from my younger sister, but I was surprised to find that it was a message from the Collapse Official Website. I didn't think much of it and assumed it was a comment under a fan-made video.

"Um?!"

Immer looked at the message above in disbelief.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

It is indeed an official message.

"Since your fan-made video topped the official website's fan-made category rankings, we would like to have a chat with you. Do you have time? If you are in the Far East, you can come directly to the Destiny Far East Branch."

Immer couldn't believe that he had simply made a video and used AI to change the audio, and that it had actually caught the attention of the authorities.

"Immer, don't get so excited, you're acting like a new recruit."

Kalpas glanced at Immer was trembling with excitement.

"Boss Kalpas, you're right, I got a little too excited." Immer calmed himself down a bit, but his voice was still excited as he said, "Do you know what? My fan-made video has become number one on the official website, and even the official team has contacted me."

"This is the greatest recognition for me, Dean Aponia. I need to ask for leave!"

Immer gripped his phone tightly.

Immer wasn't an employee of the nursing home; he was a volunteer in the community. If he wanted to take leave, he didn't need to tell Aponia in advance. But once he did, how could Aponia possibly disagree?

"Ha?"

Although Kalpas's face was largely obscured by a mask and sunglasses, his tone still conveyed a sense of bewilderment at the scene before him.

"Immer, if you're going to the Far East branch of Schicksal, could you please take Adam with you? He's going there this afternoon too."

"Of course, no problem!"

Immer was driving, with Adam in the passenger seat.

"Adam, what are you doing over there?" Immer asked.

Adam, who was studying the script on his phone, replied instinctively, "Voice acting, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Immer almost jerked the steering wheel. Since Adam was only fifteen years old, his youthful appearance was somewhat different from the model shown in the promotional video.

The few words he spoke did not lead Immer to associate them with Adam.

"Voice acting?!"

Immer was surprised.

"Yes."

What shocked Immer even more was what happened next. When he drove to the company building according to the location sent to Adam by the official channels, he watched Adam walk in with ease, while he himself was stopped by the receptionist.

Sitting in the waiting room.

Like Lyle, who was visiting for the first time, Immer looked around and seemed to find everything interesting.

Especially noteworthy are the several huge character standees in the waiting room.

As a die-hard fan, he wished he could take it home.

"Hello, Mr. 'Wolf of Annihilation,' I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Salome pushed open the door to the waiting room.

"You are..." Immer looked at the newcomer in surprise. As a die-hard fan, he could recite the plot of every movie by heart and blurted out. "The Baptiste, Salome Jhokanan!"

For a moment, Salome was a little embarrassed, but with her professionalism in mind, she quickly composed herself and said with a smile, "Mr. Wolf of Annihilation, it seems you are a special fan of the Honkai series to remember the name of a cannon fodder like me."

Immer scratched his head. "Just call me Immer. It's awkward to keep calling me by my online name."

"Okay, Mr. Immer." Salome went with the flow and got straight to the point. "Mr. Immer, we would like to invite you to join the Far East branch of Schicksal stay night and work together to contribute to the Honkai series."

Immer looked hesitant.

He now not only has to volunteer at the Aponia Sanatorium, but also needs to work to make a living, so joining a large company is indeed a good option.

However, he worried that his work ability was not up to par and that his working hours were too long, which would give them time to take care of and visit the children in the nursing home.

Seeing the hesitation on Immer's face, Salome continued, "Please rest assured, my company mainly operates on a six-hour workday. Only before a movie is released or a web series premieres is it possible to switch to an eight-hour workday."

Immer's eyes lit up.

"At the same time, our company is a globalized industry, and the salary is about twice that of local companies in the Far East. We also provide five social insurances and two housing funds, as well as meals and accommodation."

"Miss Salome, that's not the point. The main thing is that I..."

Immer hadn't finished speaking.

Then Salome said, "The director and screenwriter of the Honkai series, Mr. Yaqing, the president of the Far East branch of Schicksal, promised to create a character named after you to appear in the Honkai series."

"Sign!"

Immer did not hesitate at all.

They even asked, "How many years is the contract? Is ten years enough? How much will I need to pay each month after I join?"

Salome smiled.

That smile contained unspoken emotions.

It was as if he was strategizing, or as if he was secretly pleased with himself for having someone in his grasp.

Chapter 279 Durandal ends, Post-Honkai Odyssey premieres.

As the story of Durandal draws to a close, Bianka, in order to save the world, takes up the holy sword "Durandal" and uses herself as an anchor point to seal the World Bubble into her own body.

The web series also concluded its first part with a sweet stage play performed by Bianka and Rita.

"The final scene! I can't take it anymore! Bianka and Rita keep showering us with sweetness."

"Great, this web series finally has a normal ending!"

"Putting aside the philosophical aspects, doesn't the main plot of this web series seem a bit... 'I, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, and my beautiful maid subordinate are transported to another world'? It's definitely a typical overpowered protagonist storyline!"

"Wait, the first season? That means this web series isn't over yet."

Finally, some viewers noticed.

The story of Durandal has ended, but the story of Durandal is far from over.

As her uncle, he arranged for his eldest niece to have more than just a solo web series; he combined "Misty Capital Holiday" and "Inheritance" into one web series.
