With a wave of his hand, Otto unleashed a golden shockwave that scattered outwards, the powerful impact sending Adam staggering backwards.

"Careful!"

Mei gripped the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other, slowly drawing the sword. Her resolute expression was reflected on the silver blade.

"You won't hurt my teammates!"

Mei, holding a knife, stood in front of Carol and Adam.

Her team members were already covered in wounds from the recent battle with the monster.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Otto chuckled and extended his right hand. Golden chains flew from his palm, binding Mei tightly before Mei could even react.

"The most troublesome enemy... should always be dealt with first, right?"

As Mei out a scream, the audience went wild, unable to contain their emotions and deciding to follow their hearts. The barrage of comments that appeared at that moment even covered the screen.

There were insults, anger, and greetings directed at the screenwriter's parents, but also "respect" for Otto himself.

["* (Audience swears)*, how dare he?!"]

"First of all, it doesn't matter whether he's Otto or not. He hurt Mei, so he has to die whether he is or not, (audience swears)!"

"Where are your teammates? Go and save them! Why is Adam just watching? Have you betrayed humanity too?!"

"Wow, they're playing this high game right from the start. Isn't the uncle afraid of getting sprayed to death?!"

Sirin stared at the scene on the screen in disbelief.

The monster, which had just been half-dead, stretched out its mechanical arm and pierced through Mei's body, causing blood to spurt out.

The camera pans across Adam and Carol's faces, their expressions different but sharing the same worry.

"Her Herrscher energy is very valuable; don't waste a single bit of it."

'Otto' turned around, and his monster, named 'The World,' frantically absorbed the Herrscher energy from Mei's body, even raising a yellow protective shield, seemingly not wanting to be disturbed.

"I'll leave this to your young general, Lukeni. Let's go, let's open the Star Gate for the Sky People!"

'Otto' once again drew angry criticism from the audience.

An executive at Anti-Entropy couldn't help but shout at the company, "I am mortal enemies with Schicksal! I am irreconcilably opposed to Otto!"

This attracted a lot of employees to watch.

The audience was also surprised.

Mei, who had been constantly getting the Mei, finally managed to stand up in "Sinners Elegy," but unexpectedly, she started getting the short end of the stick again in the next web series.

"Opening a gateway for aliens to invade human civilization—isn't that pure inhumanity?!"

In the minds of many viewers, the 'Otto' in front of them no longer deserves to be called Otto.

"I'll knock on it. I'd rather Otto come back. If I knew what I was thinking now, I'd definitely call me crazy."

"Now it's time to see Adam unleash his power!"

["We set so many goals beforehand, everyone has to go back together, is it possible that Mei is the only one who can't go back?"]

"Not necessarily. It's possible that Adam can't go back, because Mei made a promise to Adam."

They've stopped expecting a happy ending and are now speculating about who will die.

A seasoned viewer should be able to deliver a painful blow to themselves.

Why can't we go back together?

Sirin tilted her head.

"For example, the support arrived at the last minute, saving the seriously injured Mei and the outburst Adam."

Bella gently shook her head.

I think Her Queen is still too young.

Chapter 293 Godfire Trial! A Super-Exciting Scene (3K)

Adam gritted his teeth, gripped the greatsword, and wanted to save Mei. He didn't know what would happen after the Herrscher's energy was absorbed, but he knew he couldn't let his captain be manipulated by the enemy.

When the greatsword collided with the protective shield, a strong recoil force was transmitted to Adam's hand, causing him to be thrown away.

Get up again and repeat the same action.

"No... hold on..."

Only one belief remained.

Adam charged toward the protective shield once more, only to be blasted away again.

Time and time again, exhaustion and pain.

Already covered in wounds, Adam showed no sign of giving up. He gritted his teeth, and even his sword-wielding arm trembled.

Seeing Adam's perseverance, they had mixed feelings.

They all silently cheered for Adam in their hearts.

"Go for it, Adam! Reclaim the glory of the fire greatsword!" Kevin, ignoring his playful banter with Sue, clenched his fists and stared intently at the television.

"Go Adam! You must succeed in rescuing Mei!"

Eden took Elysia's hand.

"They will definitely go back together, not one of them will be missing."

Inside the Aponia Sanatorium.

Go Adam!

Pardo and Little Void encouraged the children.

Adam himself sat down next to Lyle.

Although Lyle had always envied Adam for getting the role of the protagonist, at this moment, he patted Adam on the shoulder and said, "You are the protagonist! If the villain's scheme succeeds, I will look down on you."

No, it won't.

Adam's expression gradually overlapped with that of the "Adam" in the story.

Aponia prayed with her hands clasped, her expression gentle.

The Kalpas Mask and face mask completely covered his face, but his clenched fists still revealed that his heart was not at peace.

["No..."

Adam was thrown back again and struggled to his feet.

The screen then went dark.

It was this brief darkness that made the audience's hearts leap into their throats.

Then, Mei appeared in the darkness, which relieved them.

"This sword was developed by the research department based on..."

The flashback scenes are of Mei's past words, and also the scene where she explains to Adam the origin of his weapon.

"Promise me you won't overexert yourself."

"I know you have a strong sense of responsibility, but please don't do anything that exceeds your limits."

Mei's figure slowly disappeared, and the deathly darkness was replaced by a blinding white light.

What appeared on camera was Adam's resolute expression, an expression of being ready to risk everything; he had made up his mind.

Even though she was still covered in wounds, Adam kept staring intently at the yellow cover, the familiar red Honkai patterns gradually spreading from her neck to her face.

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

The appearance of the nostalgia segment was like a reassurance to the audience.

"The real man, Adam, is about to be released!"

"Adam, if you save Mei, I'll admit you're even more handsome than me."

"Show your true power, Adam." Little Knowledge continued to brandish the Judgement of Shamash.

Although it wasn't sharpened, it was still made of iron.

Fortunately Fu Hua dodged quickly, otherwise she would have been hit countless times.

"Godfire Trial! Honkai energy Seal, Fully Released!"

A red light streaked across the sword's surface, a bar symbolizing Honkai energy, until it disappeared into the tip of the blade. Blazing flames continued to burn and leap, spreading across the blade, while warning sounds echoed in my ears.

This means that the Honkai energy threshold in Adam's body has been exceeded, and his body will suffer irreversible damage.

"Continue! Continue! Continue! Continue!!!"

Regardless of the warnings in his ears asking whether to continue, Adam had only one answer: his chest heaved as he let out a deafening roar, the veins on his neck still clearly visible under the reflection of the Honkai energy patterns.

"Drink it!"

The flames on the greatsword were blazing hot. Adam gripped the hilt tightly with both hands. The Honkai energy exceeding the threshold caused him excruciating pain. He swung it with all his might.

The crimson sword light, accompanied by flames, streaked through the air, shattering the seemingly indestructible yellow protective shield like glass in a single blow.

"Warning: Honkai energy excess 80%...120%...160%...200%...300%..."

Adam leaps to his feet, and the theme song of "Post-Honkai Odyssey" begins to play. The exciting music, combined with this performance, gives the audience goosebumps.

"Burn out!"

Flames formed rings, slashing out from the blade and striking the monster repeatedly, seemingly forgetting the pain in its own body, as if determined to fight the monster to the death.

It's a race against time, a race before your life burns out, a race before Honkai energy erodes Mei.

Adam no longer avoids the monster's attacks.

Instead, he gripped his greatsword and endured the blow.

Their aggressive fighting style was almost like trading blows for blows.

This incredibly exciting storyline has truly resonated with the audience.

"Holy crap, I've got goosebumps."

"Adam's sudden surge of power gives me a bad feeling."

At that moment, they seemed to see Himeko's shadow in Adam.

Both were doing it to save another person, both disregarding their own health, and both wanting to sacrifice everything.

One of them was to save the students.

One was to save his captain.

"COOL!!!!"

Kevin looked up to the sky and roared.

It startled everyone.

"Are you trying to die?!" Mobius said first, patting his chest to calm his wildly beating heart.

"Burn out, does burning out refer to the monster burning out, or the end of one's own life?" Mei liked to look at the problem from a different perspective.

"At this moment, Adam was willing to risk everything."

"Yaqing said."

"Yes, a respectable warrior and a trustworthy team member." Eden raised his wine glass.

Aponia Sanatorium.

"It's on fire!"

Lyle suddenly stood up.

"You little rascal, you're something else." Kalpas's words were extremely brief.

Yet these very few words are an evaluation that many people would find hard to get from Kalpas.

"If it were for everyone, I would be willing to risk my life."
