Night Owl's Betrayal; Everyone Denounces Him

The lightning gradually dissipated, revealing someone they knew best.

"That entrance was so cool!"

Little Knowledge couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Cool!" Kosma gave a thumbs up.

Most viewers shared the same sentiment as the two men; this entrance accompanied by lightning descending from the sky perfectly matched their aesthetic preferences.

After Raiden Mei and Raven, as members of World Serpent, met with Durandal and Rita was still resentful about being ambushed by Raven last time.

The sarcastic and confrontational exchanges didn't last long; they couldn't afford to waste time there.

After confirming their partnership, Mei and Raven went through the tunnel and met up with Night Owl, another member of World Serpent.

While searching within the city, they stumbled upon an ice pillar on a tropical island. Through the combined efforts of the three members of World Serpent, the ice pillar shattered, revealing a figure inside.

The audience, who were laughing out loud at the combination of Rita and Raven, Raven and Night Owl, were surprised to see the final boss of the movie appear so simply.

"This is... the Fifth Herrscher?" Bronya observed carefully and made some guesses about the Herrscher's abilities.

"That's not right. The movie has been going on for 20 minutes already, why hasn't Anna, who appeared in the trailer, shown up yet?" Seele asked, puzzled.

"Seele, perhaps... we have already met."

Kiana didn't say much.

From her expression, Seele could tell that she meant the Fifth Herrscher in disguise was Anna.

Seele was unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Because the three people sitting next to her were all "Herrscher".

Naively, she thought Anna would also join the main characters and fight against the Honkai as Herrscher.

The moment the Fifth Herrscher emerged from the ice pillar, Night Owl began loading the Staff of the Underworld. The Herrscher let out a long howl of agony, her body struggling as if in excruciating pain.

"Operation begins!"

With Raiden Mei's command, the audience expected an earth-shattering battle to erupt, but unexpectedly, the Herrscher simply ran away.

Mei wanted to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by Night Owl.

Viewers who used their brains quickly realized something was wrong; the Herrscher's pain didn't seem to be acting, and she seemed to be genuinely struggling with some kind of creature in her mind.

Herrscher are also human.

No one denied this definition.

They believe that Herrscher also possess emotions, and similarly, based on this belief, they speculate about the true identity of the Herrscher.

"Could it be..."

Mei had already guessed it.

"Shh." Yaqing made a shushing gesture.

"She was in a lot of pain."

Aponia's eyes held a hint of pity. In her eyes, the Herrscher was just like the children in the sanatorium; all she needed was treatment to reintegrate into society.

The scene shifts to Durandal's side, arriving at the Snow Lotus Squad's base, but they are already too late and can only collect their comrades' remains to take back.

Durandal picked up the relics from the ground.

It was a necklace.

Anna Schariac's.

Based on the recorded communications left behind, Durandal deduced that she was the Herrscher of this Honkai.

They also instructed Yarvete to pass the information to their allies.

Mei's suspicions were confirmed, but she felt no joy or happiness whatsoever.

Even though she knew it was a fictional story, Mei found it hard to accept seeing people around her experiencing such terrible things on screen, with those familiar faces.

"It really is Anna."

Pardo covered her mouth in surprise.

Aside from the naive Pardo and the still young child, everyone else had more or less guessed what was going on. As the protagonist of the promotional video, she didn't even appear in the first half hour of the movie.

The only possibility is that she plays an extremely important role in the storyline, and they can't think of anyone else besides the Herrscher.

"Sure enough, the more familiar you are with Yaqing, the worse you will be in the Honkai series; the closer you are to Yaqing, the more you will shine in the Honkai series."

Su sighed.

"And what about you, Su? Everyone knows about your relationship with Yaqing."

"Maybe I'm the pioneer who raised the flag of rebellion like Kevin," Sue joked.

After receiving the information from Schicksal, Night Owl's pupils contracted upon seeing the faces in the information, and the camera even gave a close-up shot, while Raven and Mei's expressions remained unchanged.

"It seems that time is running out."

The ice wave gradually engulfed the city and spread outwards.

A bonfire was lit in the city center, and the three members of World Serpent decided to devise a plan to deal with the Herrscher of Ice.

Chapter 303 Night Owl's Backstab, Everyone Curses

The three of them finally decided on a plan: Raiden Mei would lead the frontal attack, Raven would find a high vantage point to provide remote support, and Night Owl would use the Staff of the Underworld to lay traps.

"That Valkyrie... although her body has been completely corrupted, her heart is still resisting the Honkai. If her personality completely succumbs to the Honkai, she won't end up like that."

"She... is still fighting the Honkai...?" Night Owl's expression was complicated.

The close-up shots all the time make it clear to anyone who isn't a fool that the Night Owl is strange.

"Could this guy know Herrscher?"

"Good heavens, could he be the Herrscher's husband?"

Sirin had met Anna and knew her boyfriend, Chen Tianwu.

Sirin didn't find Chen Tianwu strange; what she was afraid of was whether Chen Tianwu would Mei for Anna's sake.

For example, the Staff of the Underworld, specially designed for Herrscher, may not necessarily be used on the Herrscher of Ice, but it may also be used on the Herrscher of Thunder.

Sirin doesn't plan to reveal Chen Tianwu and Anna's affair, primarily because she doesn't want to affect the viewers' experience of the story in the live stream.

Aside from Sirin, almost everyone who knew Anna and Chen Tianwu could guess the general plot that would follow.

The Staff of the Underworld.

Since they've already introduced the existence of Herrscher who can hard-control, they'll definitely use it on Raiden Mei.

"Mei so pitiful. After leaving Kiana and coming to World Serpent, she still has the possibility of being betrayed by her teammates."

Sakura said.

"Not necessarily, what if a Night Owl..."

Kevin eventually ran out of fabrications.

After finalizing the battle plan, Mei covered Raven as they searched for a high vantage point. They talked about Night Owl's past, and in a place with a wide field of vision, Raven quickly found the traces of the Herrscher of Ice.

Mei returned to Night Owl's side.

The closer Herrscher of Ice, the colder it becomes. Although Mei's gentle heart is closed off, she still can't help but care about the people around her.

The Night Owl, on the other hand, showcased over 74% of its body as mechanical constructs.

Upon arriving at the center of Coral Island, the battle plan began. Mei, the Mei of Herrscher of Thunder, clashed with the Herrscher of Ice, but her mission was to lure her and she did not linger in the fight.

Just as the Herrscher of Ice arrived at the trap location, Mei ordered Night Owl to make the move, but the other end of the communication channel responded with silence.

Mei was shocked to find that the Staff of the Underworld had been activated beneath her feet, and the Herrscher of Ice's attack was fast approaching amidst the icy mist. She let out a scream.

The Raven, high above, had no idea what was happening when the Night Owl that appeared behind it knocked it unconscious.

Before she lost consciousness, she saw Night Owl take the Third Divine Key.

The Night Owl's sudden betrayal.

To the audience's surprise, and leaving them stunned, just a moment ago they were sympathizing with Night Owl's past and physical transformation, but now the person they sympathized with so much has suddenly betrayed them.

["Ah?!"]

The screen was filled with exclamations of "Ah!"

Although there were some subtle foreshadowing elements in the earlier parts of the film, viewers who didn't watch it carefully didn't notice them at all; they just felt it was sudden.

Those who know Anna and Chen Tianwu in real life are not surprised at all.

When Yaqing divided the two of them into two camps, he was telling others that one of them would definitely betray them.

"Damn it, they actually ambushed my Mei!" Kiana said angrily. "I was furious when I first saw this part of the script."

"Alright, Kiana, Night Owl and Anna ..." Mei started to say, then realized something.

Bronya and Seele stared at each other with innocent eyes, seemingly curious.

"I know, Mei, but I just can't stand it."

In Sirin's live stream, although she had already anticipated that Chen Tianwu would betray her, she still couldn't help but get angry when she actually saw Mei's Mei.

"How awful!"

Sirin angrily tore open another bag of potato chips.

"Why would Night Owl suddenly betray us? Could he be a traitor sent by Schicksal to infiltrate World Serpent?"

Someone posted this comment.

But he quickly realized something was wrong.

Night Owl's background is clear. If he really is an undercover agent sent by Schicksal, there is no need for him to establish his undercover identity at this time, since Schicksal and World Serpent have already formed an alliance.

"Could it be Anti-Entropy?"

No viewers connected Night Owl with the Herrscher of Ice; their general guesses were that he was an undercover agent of Anti-Entropy or Schicksal.

[Mei: I can't do anything.]

It's unclear which mischievous friend in the live stream typed the comment, but it instantly brought a smile to the faces of the viewers who were just a little angry.

Sirin burst out laughing, spraying potato chips everywhere.

"Hahaha, hiccup."

The camera didn't stay on Mei; instead, it shifted to the outer perimeter of Coral Island, where ice-made Honkai creatures relentlessly assaulted the Valkyrie's defenses.

If the Herrscher are not eliminated soon, this disaster could very well escalate into a global catastrophe.

I learned from Yarvete that one of the members of World Serpent had betrayed us, and while searching through Anna's file, I discovered something.

Chen Tianwu was saved by Anna during the Honkai 3rd incident two years ago, and his current identity as the World Serpent is "Night Owl".

I learned about this important matter.

Durandal instructed Rita to remain in place and command, while she herself proceeded to the interior of the Coral Island.

Anna and Chen Tianwu.

This explains to the audience why Night Owl's actions stemmed from something other than the Herrscher of Ice, who was his savior, or perhaps...

The audience seemed to smell the knife.

Knowing there was a knife, why didn't you dodge?

When viewers think about this issue, all they want to do is curse. Even though they can already guess that there will be something drastic, they still can't bear to turn off the anime.

"I swear, this pair will definitely not have a good ending in the Honkai. Normally, one will die and the other will be injured. If things go wrong, they will both die without a complete corpse."

Kevin raised four fingers on both hands.

This drew irritating glares from the crowd.

They all knew it in their hearts.

But no one bothered to tear away this fig leaf.
