For the Anti-Entropy, it was an extremely expensive project, but since it was a project devised by Einstein, Tesla, and Welt Young, almost no one dared to oppose it, except for Raiden Ryoma, who made the money, and Cocolia managed the finances.

For viewers, "Magic Sword God Machine: Ahalato" is a childhood classic and their gateway into anime and tokusatsu.

"The Subspace Demon Castle! Will Ahalato also make an appearance later?!"

"A collaboration! Honkai and Ahalato are collaborating! I never even dared to dream of it!"

"I dare say, since the director of Ahalato is also one of the writers for the Honkai series."

This is also one of Yaqing's tactics. Regardless of the current reputation of "Ahalato", as an anime with ten years of history, it needs the traffic of "Ahalato" to sell nostalgia in the early stages of Honkai 3rd, and it also needs Ahalato Honkai 3rd to monetize in the later stages.

"Yaqing, are we really going to have another collaboration?"

Kevin couldn't help but ask.

Having grown up watching Ahalato, he is extremely happy about the collaboration between his favorite anime from the past and his current favorite anime.

"Then I'm going to get ripped off by Welt again."

Yaqing said jokingly.

His first film only used Ahalato's look, but it was exploited by Anti-Entropy and they ripped off a lot of money. Every time he thinks about it, his heart bleeds.

Although he receives a monthly dividend, it's his money, real money!

Chapter 286 Welt's Rescue, Reactions Vary

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Mei. I won't run around. Big brother, big sister, be careful!"

The word "Auntie" dealt another devastating blow to Mei, leaving her somewhat dazed. After escorting Xiao Qiao inside, she said, "... I'm a little dazed. Sigh, have I already reached the age where I'm called 'Auntie'?"

"Sigh, I understand Himeko's feelings a little better now..."

Mei's tone was complicated when she said those words, but it was also funny. She was a domineering queen in the previous movie, but suddenly she became the target of persecution in the web series.

"Here we go again, Aunt Mei ~~"

"Although I don't know how long the Honkai has been over, I don't find it strange at all that Xiao Qiao calls Mei' Auntie'."

If we're talking about the hardest one to hold her nerve with, it has to be Himeko.

Drinking beer and eating fried chicken.

While watching a web series, I was suddenly contacted by a Q&A platform.

"???"

Himeko was completely bewildered; she recalled the time when Kiana called her "Auntie."

In the Golden Courtyard, Elysia, who had just been speaking up for Mei and Mei, couldn't help but laugh when she heard the "auntie" joke being brought up again.

Mei looked at Elysia with deep, mysterious eyes.

Elysia instantly put on a serious face and said that she shouldn't have done that, but Mei could still see the smile in her extremely beautiful pink eyes.

Adam jokingly called Mei" Auntie."

Mei clenched her fists immediately, her eyes flashing dangerously.

"... I think you've gotten a little carried away."

"I guess I've been too gentle with you guys lately, and you've all started to act Carol."

"Just wait and see what happens during this month's performance review!"

Adam whispered, "Captain Mei walked away with a smile."

Captain Mei smiled and walked away.

"I'm dying of laughter! Adam is incredibly brave. If it were Mei from the Sinners Elegy era, she probably would have unleashed a flurry of punches right away."

"So what's the meaning of the last paragraph? Adam said it once, and the narrator said it too."

"I know that, double negatives mean affirmation." As a poor student, Sirin finally understood one of the problems.

"Your Queen is right!" Bella echoed.

[Heading towards the bridge Xiao Qiao mentioned, searching for Welt Yang's whereabouts, the camera suddenly zooms out, taking in the broken bridge and the "Aten Magic City" in the sky, the purplish-red light emanating from it creating a powerful sense of oppression.]

"Wow, this is starting to feel like a boss battle."

Little Knowledge exclaimed in surprise.

It's worth noting that the modeling of "Aten Magic City" was created by the modeling department led by Shigure Kira working overtime, and then by the post-production department led by Cheng Lixue working tirelessly for half a month.

"Indeed, the conditions created by the black shadows and red light can immediately create a sense of oppression and make people feel uneasy."

Fu Hua nodded seriously.

"Old fogey, how do you know so much?" Little Knowledge asked skeptically.

"That's right, I was indeed in charge of the post-production lighting and shadows for 'Aten Magic City'."

"Who asked you?!"

Little Knowledge was speechless.

She discovered that the old antique had indeed changed.

On their way to the bridge, Mei asked Carol, the only person who had ever seen "Aten Magic City," for information. After organizing the information, they eliminated the monsters that appeared along the way and finally stepped onto the bridge.

As they drew closer to the so-called "Aten Magic City," they couldn't help but become wary.

As they expected, at the end of the bridge stood a completely new boss, unlike any they had encountered before. It had a feminine appearance, rode a chariot, wielded a long spear, and its entire body was composed of grayish-white crystalline material.

As Carol kept emphasizing the name "Aten Magic City," the audience couldn't help but laugh.

"Mei still can't bring herself to say such an embarrassing name, hahaha."

"Is this what they call a girl's obsession and a boy's concern? Although the boy's concern is for the aircraft."

"Doesn't anyone else find this 'sweet'? Especially Carol's line: 'You've changed, senpai, you don't care about me anymore.' It's just so sweet."

"Taking things without thinking will only harm you."

After a difficult battle with the monster called Judgement, it turned into a red light and flew into the sky. As it fled, it did not forget to leave behind its spear, which it used to destroy the bridge.

In the critical moment, Adam had no choice but to grab onto the falling Carol. Without the bridge to hold onto, the two of them plummeted toward the water.

"Star of Eden!"

Adam and Carol, who were falling, stopped their descent and floated up slowly, defying the laws of physics. The broken bridge also stopped at this moment and was suspended in the air.

The camera slowly pans upwards, revealing first the crimson Star of Eden to the audience. Welt Young is suspended in mid-air, the Star of Eden resting in his palm.

Welt Young's emergency rescue drew everyone's attention. Although it's said that Old Yang died a lot and died quickly, no one can deny how cool Welt Young was when he came to the rescue.

His calm expression suggested that nothing was in his eyes.

The audience initially thought that Welt Yang had been captured by the villain, who was suspected to Otto, and taken to the "Aten Magic City." No one expected that when the main characters were in danger, it would be the person they were supposed to rescue who would come to their rescue.

"I have to say, Lao Yang's rescue this time was truly brilliant."

"Old Yang looks handsome every time he enters the arena, but every time he leaves..."

"By the way, how many times will Lao Yang die in this web series?"

"Hey, hey, Welt seems to suffer more setbacks in the storyline, he still has the strength. It's just that the people he's comparing him to are the problem."

Sirin patted her flat chest.

"For example, in the first movie, he appeared facing the Queen who possessed six Herrscher Core!"

Sirin was very proud.

"He appears in the movie and faces Kevin, a warrior from Previous Era. His defeat is understandable."

Sirin wasn't trying to explain for Welt, but rather taking the opportunity to praise herself, since her character model was unlikely to have another chance to appear.

The viewers in the live stream were happy to give Sirin face and praised the Queen.

Welt Young, who was also in the Far East and even at the St. Freya Academy, was incredibly excited, like a big kid.

"I'm so handsome! Star of Eden!"

Welt Young even imitated his own appearance in the movie.

Seeing the lives of Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein, who raised him, made him question the meaning of life.

"Did you raise him?" Tesla tried to distance itself from the issue.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Hey, don't try to absolve yourself of any responsibility when it really matters!"

"It's not like I'm interested in him."

Einstein's single sentence silenced Tesla.

Chapter 287 Suspected Heavenly Fire, the Only Male Student

Welt Young made a dashing rescue, using the Star of Eden to transfer the three to a safe place. Carol was very excited to see the power of Herrscher for the first time.

Welt Yang was worried about Xiao Qiao's safety, so he quickly asked Mei about it. Only after receiving confirmation that Xiao Qiao was safe did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After successfully protecting Welt Young and returning him to base, they saw Xiao Qiao rushing into his arms with tears in his eyes. In order to give the father and son some space to be alone, the three of them quietly left.

Mei told Adam to go and rest for a while.

Adam was still resentful that Welt had stolen his thunder.

"Haha, it's not your fault. Mr. Welt has always been good at stealing the spotlight."

"Did you know? He used to be a teacher at the St. Freya Academy, teaching history."

"When he was speaking to us about the Second Honkai on the podium, no one expected that this unassuming teacher was the leader of Anti-Entropy."

"Then one day, he suddenly disappeared without taking leave or resigning from his job."

"When it reappeared, it actually jumped out of the Sea of Quanta!"

"Haha, that was a long time ago... I really miss it."

Mei, as if she had opened a floodgate, smiled and talked to Adam about the past, but towards the end, a look of melancholy still appeared on her face.

When Carol became incredibly excited upon seeing Welt's attack, the audience joked that Carol had a Herrscher by her side. However, when they saw Mei's dejected expression, their laughter suddenly turned sour.

These words reminded them of the wonderful life Mei and Kiana had spent at the St. Freya Academy, as if it were right before their eyes. But the next moment, the Sinners Elegy's violent attack brought them back to reality.

["Can asking a few questions make people feel the knife? My answer is, yes."]

"Adam, you must never envy Welt. Although he liked to show off, he died quickly. Not only did he die quickly, he died many times."

"One sentence almost made me die laughing."

When Sirin saw this comment on the screen, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Recalling the moment of Welt's death, no one questioned this statement.

[After hearing Mei recount her past story, Adam was dragged by Carol to find Welt Yang, where he heard another story about the copyright dispute between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal.]

Xiao Qiao poked Adam.

"Big brother, that sister just now..."

Adam crouched down.

Xiao Qiao mentioned that she had met Carol's mother, but she didn't know her personally. She had only seen her in a photo pasted in a notebook in her home that recorded the Second Honkai.

As the conversation continued, Adam and Xiao Qiao brought up his mother again.

Xiao Qiao shook his head. He didn't know why his mother hadn't come to Saint Fontaine with him. Maybe she was too busy with work, or maybe she was drunk.

When talking about her mother, Xiao Qiao missed her. Adam was about to offer some comfort, Xiao Qiao said that Aunt Mei had already borrowed his communicator to let her mother know she was safe.

"Actually... Mom seems to have always thought I was in the school dormitory and didn't know that Dad and I came here."

"When she saw me, she was a little surprised and a little embarrassed."

"... and I'm a little sad."

Adam couldn't help but think to himself, "How careless!"

Viewers have always been curious: if Xiao Qiao's nominal father is Welt, then who is his mother?
