Promotional Video-Punching Destiny, Kicking World Serpent (Part 2)
"In the boundless depths of this dream, I gaze at my unrecognizable self."
The camera suddenly shifts from cool to warm tones, revealing the Sky Island of Schicksal.
In the midst of a peaceful atmosphere, an explosion suddenly occurred, sending Durandal flying backward through the smoke and tumbling twice on the ground before coming to a stop.
The dark shadow rapidly approached, and Fu Hua's figure could be vaguely seen, but what was most striking were her scarlet pupils.
"King!"
Durandal activated her protective shield in a very short time, and the expression on her face showed just how shocked and nervous she was.
The protective shield gradually cracked under the fist.
Although her figure was not clearly visible, the audience recognized Fu Hua at a glance.
"Wow! I was wondering who could defeat Durandal, but it turned out to be the class monitor."
["Has Fu Hua finally turned evil after a series of betrayals?"]
Sirin opened her mouth wide.
She thought her eldest sister was invincible except for Kevin, but she never expected there to be someone even more valiant than her eldest sister. Who is this person? Who is it in real life?
Sirin's mind was filled with great doubt.
Inside the courtyard, everyone immediately recognized that the person appearing in the promotional video was not Fu Hua, but Little Knowledge. No one could say exactly where they recognized her, but it was that aura that made them feel that way.
"Little Knowledge, is this you? You're amazing! You defeated the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal right from the start," Pardo said in surprise.
"That's right."
Little Knowledge proudly puffed out his slightly heaving chest.
Little Knowledge's identity should have been a major plot twist, but unfortunately, quite a few people already knew Little Knowledge, and even more knew that she and Fu Hua were twins. Anyone with a little common sense could have guessed that it was Little Knowledge, not Fu Hua.
Clearly, Theresa is the one who doesn't like to use her brain.
"Is this still the Fu Hua I know?"
Theresa's mouth gaped slightly, utterly shocked.
Himeko sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
The obvious answer was right in front of her, but Theresa stubbornly ignored it.
The camera then focuses on a strange space where countless golden cubes float in the air, defying the laws of physics, before another explosion occurs.
Kevin had also been attacked, retreated to a cube, holding the Judgement of Shamash, his eyes cold yet containing a hint of inexplicable emotion.
"Friend or foe, the choice is yours."
Kevin thrust the Judgement of Shamash fiercely, and the scorching flames surged like a fire dragon, unleashing tremendous power that swallowed all the enemies. In the flames, a figure could be vaguely seen.
"All that has happened in the past has resulted in failure."
In the firelight, no human figure could be seen. Only when the camera zoomed in could the audience see that slightly arrogant yet undisguisedly crazy smile.
"Those I wanted to protect, have all... vanished!"
The camera kept switching between Kevin and Durandal. Countless black feathers drifted down from the sky. Durandal stared at the black feather with a solemn expression, and suddenly it transformed into the shape of a sword.
Kevin still held the Judgement of Shamash, and a figure carrying the greatsword was crouching on the blade.
"Only deep and unforgettable regret can give rise to transformative growth."
The enormous figure behind Durandal vanished under the attack, while Kevin's pupils contracted, as if in shock.
The strongest civilization can be kicked by the feet, and the strongest Previous Era can be punched by the fists.
The audience was completely dumbfounded.
Was Fu Hua really that strong?
"As the saying goes, turning evil doubles your strength, turning good weakens you by a third, but Fu Hua!"
"So, the next movie to feature Herrscher... is Fu Hua? St. Freya Academy is confirmed, it's the Honkai- training academy that cultivates Herrscher!"
Some viewers are quite confused, unsure whether to look forward to it or criticize it. They feel that having warriors from Previous Era become members of the Herrscher, even knowing that they are Herrscher for humanity, is a disgrace to the warriors.
"Is this really Fu Hua?"
At the same time, some viewers raised questions.
"Little Knowledge succeeded. It turns out that her uncle really wasn't trying to trick her back then."
When Kiana first heard Yaqing agree to Little Knowledge's request, she was still laughing at him for using such a low-class lie to deceive others. Little did she know that she would be the one to end up being the clown.
"To be honest, given the combat power that Durandal and Kevin displayed, no one should have taken Yaqing's promise seriously at that time..." Bronya was also surprised.
That was clearly a trick to fool children, so how did it end up becoming real?
"Little Knowledge took it seriously, and Uncle Yaqing didn't lie to her." Mei smiled helplessly; she hadn't thought it was true at first either.
"Just agree, who can agree to that?"
The scene shifts to a bridge. It's raining heavily at night, with thunder and lightning creating an ominous atmosphere. On the bridge, Rika, riding her Project Bunny motorcycle, seems to have a premonition and glances to the side.
To my surprise, I saw a dark figure kneeling on what looked like a missile launcher outside the bridge.
Sensing Bronya's gaze, the shadowy figure turned its head slightly, its scarlet pupils glowing red in the night.
Fortunately, Bronya was a skilled driver and dodged the first attack. However, the missile did not explode and continued to hurtle towards her. In the midst of the violent explosion, the heavily armed Xiaodu transformed into a spherical protective shield.
They protected Bronya as she fell into the water below the bridge.
Before Bronya could react, she saw the dark figure lying on top of the protective shield, emitting sharp laughter, its scarlet pupils like those of a wild beast, its hands constantly breaking through the shield.
It's like something out of a horror movie.
Project Bunny used its last bit of strength to throw Bronya out of the water.
"Now... let's personally transform this world into the way I want it to be!"
A violent explosion occurred underwater, sending a beam of fire shooting straight into the sky like a pillar of light.
Viewers didn't hold back when Bronya suffered a setback right after her debut, flooding the screen with comments like "hahahaha."
Theresa, in particular, is still fixated on the time when Bronya interviewed her and she was embarrassed. What she regrets most now is that Bronya isn't by her side and she can't see the expression on her face.
Kiana sighed.
"Ever since Bronya obtained the Herrscher of Reason Core, it feels like she's been cursed, always getting thwarted as soon as she appears."
Bronya thought about it carefully and realized that it really was true. Not only her, but the first two Herrscher of Reason seemed to be in the same situation.
Could it be that the Herrscher of Reason Core is truly cursed?
Even Bronya had some doubts.
"I feel like that last sentence sounds familiar."
Kiana scratched her head.
"Himeko," Seele reminded her.
Kiana remained silent.
Seele was a little flustered and asked in a low voice, "Sister Bronya, Seele... did Seele say something wrong?"
Bronya shook her head.
"Seele, you're absolutely right! Those who dwell on the past have no right to look to the future. If you're always concerned about those who sacrifice, then those sacrifices will be worthless." Dark Seele's voice echoed in Seele's mind.
Seele felt that what Dark Seele said was somewhat right, yet somewhat wrong, a complex emotion of confusion and entanglement that she couldn't discern.
The camera shifts again, revealing a vortex-like structure in the sky, with the top of the building at its center, glowing red and accompanied by thunder and lightning, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Kiana, kneeling on the ground, stared in astonishment at the figure in the center of the black storm, which was interspersed with red lightning. She instinctively stammered, "You are..."
"What? You don't recognize me anymore... Kiana?"
The figure slowly turned around, revealing its true appearance, which was familiar to the audience, yet drastically different.
Arrogant.
This is the first impression left on the audience.
His red pupils shifted slightly, and a wanton smile appeared on his lips.
"I will... turn everything around."
"I will! Turn the tide!"
Little Knowledge suddenly stood up from the sofa and said the same words as himself in the promotional video, only with a more arrogant and impassioned tone.
"That line is so cool, it's like it was tailor-made for me."
Little Knowledge was extremely excited.
It sounded like he was explaining something to everyone, but it also sounded like he was talking to himself.
"I originally wanted to speak more passionately, but Yaqing said that at this moment I should act like an old-fashioned person, so that the audience would think that I am an old-fashioned person, so that's why I used this tone!"
Little Knowledge seemed unaware that everyone was looking at him like he was a child, and continued to do what he thought was a cool move.
What do you think?
The group exchanged glances.
Elysia was the first to indulge her, saying, "Little Knowledge is right! So... can Miss Fairy give me a hug?"
"Come on over, Sister Shi is very happy today."
"That's great!"
Unlike Elysia, who was only thinking about sticking together, May, Mobius, and Vill-V were analyzing the extremely short promotional video.
"Logically speaking, Fu Hua's consciousness is in Kevin's hands. Kevin shouldn't let the feathers to which Fu Hua's consciousness is attached be lost. So who is the Fu Hua shown in the promotional video?"
Mei analyzed rationally.
"That's me!" Little Knowledge emphasized.
"Fu Hua's consciousness may be gone, but she still has a physical body, right? In the movie's Easter egg, Otto has preserved Fu Hua's body very well," Mobius replied casually.
"That's me!" Little Knowledge emphasized again, stamping her feet in frustration as no one paid any attention to her.
"Alright, alright, the child is about to cry." Yaqing told the three of them to stop discussing it.
Little Knowledge was so anxious that he almost cried.
Secondly, if they keep discussing it, all the movie's highlights will be discussed, then what's the point of watching it?
Both morally and logically, Yaqing should step in to stop it.
"Alright, I also want to share my opinion." Vill-V spread her hands.
Fu Hua, who had participated in the recording, naturally knew what was going on, but there was a confidentiality agreement in the employee contract, so she certainly couldn't explain it to everyone.
"Know it..."
Yaqing's eyelids twitched, and just as Little Knowledge was about to speak, she coughed a few times.
Fu Hua understood immediately and quickly covered Little Knowledge's mouth.
But with just those two short words, May, Mobius, and Vill-V understood the situation and had even analyzed it in their minds.
Fu Hua cannot become Herrscher, but Herrscher can become Fu Hua.
After the promotional video was released, it sparked another wave of excitement online. In just a few minutes, it ignited a frenzy among viewers.
"Holy crap, an honest guy being oppressed and then snapping—what a satisfying plot point!"
["Punching against Schicksal, kicking at the World Serpent, making Durandal roll on the ground, beating Kevin to a pulp—this is Fu Hua!"]
"Is the contrast really that big?"
"Of course! Look at the previous Herrscher, which one of Herrscher Persona?"
Upon seeing these comments online, Little Knowledge was extremely anxious, but due to the confidentiality agreement, she could not reveal her identity online and say that the person in the promotional video was not Fu Hua, but herself.
There's still a month until the next movie.
Little Knowledge found it extremely difficult to endure; every minute felt like a year.
"Yaqing, why did you release the promotional video so early!"
"Why did the official release the promotional video so early?!"
