A Promotional Teaser for the Domination Theater.

Rita stopped laughing.

It's impossible for anyone to be happy when the person they like is being coveted by many others.

While Yaqing was live-streaming a game, her phone suddenly rang.

When I picked it up, I was surprised to find that the caller ID showed up as Otto.

I suddenly felt unlucky.

"Uh... I'm going to take this call. I'll hang up the camera for a bit."

Normally, the fans in Elysia's live stream would have made a scene, but today they were unusually well-behaved, telling Yaqing to go and greet them while they welcomed the new viewers.

After turning off the microphone, Yaqing answered the phone.

"President, you rarely call me. Is there something important today?"

Yaqing's tone was calm, as if she didn't know what had happened.

Because of the time difference, it's late at night where Otto is.

Yaqing had not expected Otto to call him at this time.

"My dear friend, I think you should understand the purpose of my call to you."

Otto's magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

She wore an elegant smile, but her demeanor seemed out of place in the space she was in.

This man, who strategizes from afar, would one day find himself sitting on the toilet, making phone calls to his students.

All of this was because Kallen was asleep.

"I don't understand what you mean, Mr. President?"

"No need to understand, I'm just thinking that Shigure Kira's script gave me a new inspiration."

Otto's voice was very soft, but Yaqing understood a different meaning.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Otto was puzzled.

He just wanted to ask Yaqing if a script he had written could be released, but he didn't expect Yaqing to react so strongly. He sighed and thought to himself that his child had grown up.

All he wanted was to see a story on screen about a World Bubble where he and Kallen lived happily ever after, but even such a simple wish couldn't be fulfilled...

"Yaqing, my student, if you are unwilling, then so be it."

Otto sighed, chatted with Yaqing for a while longer, and then hung up the phone.

Yaqing breathed a long sigh of relief.

I immediately felt relaxed.

If Otto were to suggest that he marry Theresa, his relationship with his beloved teacher would be ruined.

Neither of them realized that they were completely on the same wavelength.

Yaqing was bored while livestreaming alone, so he waved his hand, and Canned Food walked over with elegant cat steps and jumped into his arms.

"Uncle's back?!"

"Everyone, please stop calling me that. Just call me Uncle. It's more socially awkward than when I call you that."

Yaqing wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Don't say that, Uncle. We don't do it for any particular reason. We just feel like family when we see you, so we took the liberty of calling you Uncle. It has nothing to do with that silly goose."

You've already said it, hey!!!

Yaqing was internally ranting, but still maintained a polite smile on her face.

"Ding-dong."

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Yaqing felt like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

He quickly got up and prepared to go downstairs to open the door.

The gate to the Golden Courtyard opened, and the person who entered was none other than Salome.

Yaqing was stunned.

Salome had never been to the Golden Courtyard before. If she was here to see him, it must be something very urgent. Yaqing's expression changed.

"What's wrong? What happened at the company?"

I've been trying to call you but can't get through.

Salome's words made Yaqing feel like the sky had fallen.

"Vill-V's research is complete. We have entered a completely new world. Although it is very rough, it has indeed achieved the goal of bringing people into the virtual world."

Salome came in person.

After all, the virtual reality headset is crucial to the company's development over the next few years, and we cannot afford to be complacent.

Yaqing understood.

However, since he had promised Elysia and couldn't leave now, he called Kosma back from the library.

Kosma sat at his computer desk.

He remained silent.

He stared blankly at the fans in the live stream.

Before Miss Fairy's fans could even complain, the live chat exploded.

It turns out that the official Collapse Official Website just posted a message saying that because the story written by the screenwriter is too long, it will not be released as a movie, but as a web series.

This immediately sparked a huge discussion.

["So, in other words, we don't need to go to the cinema anymore; we can watch it at home?! Schicksal should really charge a fee, otherwise I feel guilty watching such a great show for free."]

"Holy crap, Tsuna, Schicksal is truly a saint!"

Movie adapted into web series.

This was done after careful consideration.

The main issue is the script for the next movie. If it's to be shown in theaters, it'll be a movie that's almost ten and a half hours long. Even an iron man couldn't sit through it.

Taking into account the audience's physical condition, Yaqing resolutely decided to adapt the film into a web series.

In his opinion, the only way to release the film would be to split Qianren and Xinyan into two separate movies, but that would go against his wishes. He wanted to see a film with a beginning and an end.

Kosma saw that the comments were related to Honkai.

They immediately perked up and stopped staring at each other blankly.

Instead, I opened the Collapse Official Website.

And that's when Kosma clicked on it.

What we saw was not an official announcement.

It's actually a trailer for the next movie.

Kosma opened his eyes.

The figure occupying the top spot on the homepage recommendation is the same puppet that appeared in the post-credits scene of the previous movie, standing on a high platform with outstretched arms, seemingly inviting them to join the theater.

"Holy crap, the next movie trailer? Still no news at all."

"These days, Schicksal really likes to pull off surprise attacks; every time, they just bring it up without any warning."

Kosma could not contain his excitement.

But on the surface, he still maintained that calm demeanor.

Chapter 360: Promotional video for the Theater of Domination.

In the dimly lit, empty space, filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, one puppet after another jumped down. Kiana gripped her weapon tightly, watching the scene before her with vigilance, while the puppet was controlled by the threads of the giant monster behind her.

"Arrogance, envy, indifference, hatred, greed, despair, and giving up."

The simultaneous appearance of male and female voices, accompanied by rousing background music, immediately draws the listener in, making them worry about Kiana.

One doll after another rushed towards Kiana.

Kiana dodged in mid-air, then stuck two fingers into the doll's mouth, grabbed its upper lip, and slammed it hard onto the ground, shattering the stone floor.

"A meaningless struggle, a meaningless existence, a meaningless life!"

Many more puppets rushed forward, and a burst of flames engulfed them. Just when the audience thought Kiana was unleashing her ultimate move, the camera instead showed Kiana being burned so badly that her eyes rolled back in her head.

The towering Honkai Beasts had indifferent eyes filled with crimson light.

Vanish, meaningless world!

The large hand with many joints was entangled in silk threads, but was torn apart in an instant. The camera focused on Kiana, whose azure eyes were filled with resentment.

"This is a theater of dominance, a stage for a thousand people."

The tall, humanoid figure pulled with both hands, and the silk threads tightened instantly. The camera focused on a white background, where, under the light, two figures were being pulled by the silk threads, and blood spurted out.

Blood splattered across the screen, Kiana watched this scene with great anxiety, but the number of dolls pressing down on her kept increasing.

"We are the will of a thousand, the despair of a thousand."

Many more dolls jumped down, controlled by the threads, and swayed towards Kiana with their heads tilted.

"Despair will not disappear, and neither will we."

Kiana, covered in wounds, was controlled by threads around her joints, like a marionette, as those large hands gradually closed, enveloping her.

"We were created by..."

"What destroyed everything was..."

The camera then focused on countless cannons pointing at a single target, the suppressive fire kicking up dust and mist – a skill familiar to viewers as that of Bronya, the Herrscher of Reason.

"Human malice itself!"

In that special space, countless giant hands were created and tried to catch the falling flames, but the flames broke through everything and tore the intercepting hands to shreds.

"Despair will not disappear, and neither will we."

"You cannot change the malice in people's hearts."

Another giant hand appeared, but this time it was a phantom. As if on command, countless giant hands lifted the falling flames into the sky.

"Welcome to the Theater of Domination!!!"

Because the movie was adapted into a web series, viewers thought there wouldn't be any more promotional videos, but unexpectedly, the promotional video was suddenly released and took over the homepage recommendation on the Collapse Official Website.

To their surprise, Kiana was beaten up the whole time in the promotional video, while the villain, the Herrscher of the Thousand, also known as the Herrscher of Domination, stole the show.

Kosma a man of few words.

Viewers in the live stream rarely interacted with him by sending bullet comments; they mostly chatted about their own things.

["Arrogance, envy, indifference, hatred, greed, despair, giving up, perfect conclusion, mastery of all"]

["Oh my god, this is a weird channel, Anti-Entropy is on the other end."]

["Kiana is so strange now. She's changed ever since the Queen's Arrival. Every movie starts with her getting stabbed, and then she gets a highlight reel at the end. I'm used to it now, sob sob sob."]

The audience's habits don't mean Kiana's habits.

She couldn't hold back any longer while she was at the company.

"What?! This is supposed to be a promotional video, so why am I the only one getting beaten up?!"

Kiana disagreed.

Qi Kitty was furious.

As Shub packed up the documents, she said, "The two voice actors who beat you up are Cheng Lixue and Yaqing. Go find them and argue with them."

Kiana's arrogance was immediately dampened.

In her mind, those words meant, "One is a senior executive, and the other is the boss; go find them..."
