A Yuan Incites Public Outrage and Blithely Shifts the Blame to Otto

The massive warship Hyperion passed through the black hole and, to the incredulous gaze of the puppets, sailed into the Theater of Domination.

At Tesla's command, countless Anti-Entropy Mecha descended from the Hyperion and joined the battle, turning the tide of the war.

Bronya, Theresa, Seele rushed to Kiana's aid.

With rousing background music playing, everyone stared wide-eyed; the situation had reversed so quickly that they hadn't even had time to react.

The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds.

"Ooh!"

Elysia cried out excitedly, then hugged Mei, her body trembling with excitement.

In this segment, Yaqing poured half of her quarterly bonus into the project, causing Cheng Lixue to work overtime for a week to Queen's Arrival special effects comparable to those of a certain American blockbuster.

This is why Cheng Lixue's post-production team consisted of recent college graduates who had just entered the workforce. After a week of working overtime, they were filled with resentment, which led them to become extremely frantic when creating the Herrscher of the Thousand.

Those who know it are referring to the later stages of the Destiny Far East Branch; those who don't might think it's the Theater of Domination descending upon the Far East.

"Great!"

Pardo was incredibly excited.

I thought Kiana was going to have a disaster, but it turns out that all of this was part of Anti-Entropy's plan. Next up is probably the team battle that the audience is looking forward to.

While everyone was getting excited, Kevin scratched his head.

"The special effects are indeed quite exciting, but something feels off, though I can't quite put my finger on it."

Kevin was puzzled.

"Something's definitely not right. Things are going too smoothly. Ever since Fu Hua and Theresa went to retrieve the core of the first doll, the plot has changed. It's like it's all for the sake of advancing the story."

May agreed with Kevin's idea.

If the story of the Herrscher of the Thousand were to end like this, it would feel unreal.

It has a feeling of being neither tasty nor worth throwing away.

In short, it means one thing: not enough.

"Is it possible that the Herrscher of the Thousand did this on purpose?"

Mei's words were like a bolt from the blue.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Elysia reacted as if she had been electrocuted, quickly separating herself from Mei and hurriedly saying, "We know the fighting power of the dolls. If we let the Hyperion in, how will they resist? It's impossible. They must not have anticipated this."

Elysia's emotions didn't seem like she was trying to persuade May, but rather like she was trying to persuade herself.

Mei didn't say much.

She saw through Elysia's thoughts and was unwilling to shatter Elysia's fantasy.

Keep your eyes on the big screen.

The dolls are angry; they are truly angry.

Faced with the monster army summoned by the doll, Tesla did not hesitate to start the main gun of the Hyperion. Truth is always within the range of the cannon. Under the barrage of fire, the Honkai Beasts turned to ashes one by one.

"Hmph, what other toys do you have? Bring them out too!"

Tesla snorted twice and arrogantly challenged the doll after seeing that the Honkai Beasts summoned by the doll had been completely destroyed.

"Hehehe, how about this one?"

The puppet chuckled coldly, and suddenly a familiar mecha appeared in front of Kiana's face, in the center of the battlefield. It was a red and black mecha, Hephaestus, created by Anti-Entropy.

"Damn Anti-Entropy! You dare steal my patent?!"

The hot-tempered Dr. Tesla never held back; he muted himself for several seconds, allowing only a few words of each sentence to be uttered without being censored.

Simple foul language, ultimate enjoyment.

Tesla truly lived up to his reputation as a comedian; he amused the audience the moment he appeared.

"Pfft."

Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It wasn't supposed to be that funny, but the combination of the censored telegram and Tesla's exasperated voice made the audience laugh.

"Dr. Tesla is truly an extraordinary person. He got his mentality messed up by the puppet, but he just retaliated. Hahahaha, why didn't we think of that?"

Pardo burst into laughter.

"That's the power of Dr. Lobster Head!"

Dr. Tesla was far away in North America, was overjoyed when he saw this.

"Hahaha, yes, that's it! (* Anti-Entropy profanity*) They dare to steal my patent? They're asking for trouble!"

Tesla was so excited that he danced around.

Edison and Einstein exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

Einstein couldn't help but reveal a slightly malicious smile.

"Dr. Tesla, it seems that after the Honkai anime came out, people's impression of you is no longer limited to the textbook. They all know that you are still a foul-mouthed, alcoholic, comedic otaku girl."

Tesla froze, his expression turning blank.

It turns green for a while, then red for a while.

It was only after Einstein reminded him that he realized what was happening, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Ugh! That despicable Yaqing, you've ruined my reputation! As expected, none of the guys who hang out with Otto are good people!"

Upon hearing the words "ruin my reputation," Edison spat out the water he had just taken a sip of.

"Cough cough cough..."

Edison pulled out a tissue, clearly having choked on water.

After Kiana dealt with the mecha that infuriated Dr. Tesla, her nonchalant attitude when facing the doll again seemed to anger the other party.

Five hundred puppets swarmed out of the theater, attempting to use sheer numbers to make Kiana one of them.

Although the number of dolls was astonishing, with the help of the Hyperion and everyone else, it was quickly reduced to just one.

Even though it was the only puppet left, it showed no fear whatsoever, instead continuing to laugh eerily.

Kiana heard a familiar place from the doll.

Sky Dome City.

What does it mean to be "just like Sky Dome City"? Does it mean you're all alone now? What's the connection between the doll and Sky Dome City?

"Kiana, what is the purpose of all this? You destroyed us without any hesitation... as if we were emotionless monsters."

"Think about it carefully, Kiana. Is it really like that? We also have beliefs, willpower, and comrades..."

"And you killed us so easily for the sake of those hopeless humans, was it worth it?"

The doll's tone was so pitiful it brought tears to anyone's eyes, as if Kiana and the others were the villains.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Kiana raised her gun expressionlessly.

"Hehehe... Think about it carefully, Kiana, think it carefully..."

With a gunshot, the last puppet was destroyed, and the Theater of Domination Honkai. Bronya helped the exhausted Kiana back to the Hyperion and returned to the real world.

All 500 cores remained on the deck of the Hyperion.

"Is it... over?"

Ling was taken aback.

"How could that be? There are only five hundred of them. According to the records of the Previous Era, the Herrscher of Domination were known as the Herrscher of the Thousand."

Sakura shook her head.

Clearly, the Herrscher of Domination could not have been eliminated so easily; they must have had a backup plan. The fact that they knowingly walked into a trap made the audience realize that something was amiss.

The problem is that everyone in the story seems to think that the Herrscher of Domination has been destroyed, and now the puppet is hiding in the shadows. If it suddenly launches an attack, Anti-Entropy will definitely not be able to react in time.

Moreover, the doll's target is still Kiana.

"Ring, do you remember the promotional video?"

Pardo came closer.

Promotional video? What promotional video?

He had completely forgotten about the bell.

Fortunately, Pardo reminded her that Yaqing was beaten up badly in the promotional video.

Furthermore, on the official website, some experts have speculated that the figures bound by threads in the few frames of the promotional video are Fu Hua and Bronya.

"Huh? How come these Herrscher of the Thousand are so hard to kill, like cockroaches? Can't they learn from the Herrscher of Ice?"

The bell is not full.

The Herrscher of Ice destroyed two Herrscher in the time it takes to watch one movie, while the Herrscher of the Thousand in front of us has taken almost two movies to destroy.

"This is different. Chen Tianwu and Anna are determined to die, but the Herrscher of the Thousand are born from the evil of humanity, the true Herrscher who want to disrupt the order of human civilization and destroy human harmony."

The Herrscher of the Thousand is different from the previous Herrscher.

They either want to help humanity resist the Honkai, or they are determined to die, or they are overwhelmed by memories. The only two are an inflated pufferfish and a Herrscher of Human.

The Herrscher of the Thousand has now appeared is arguably Kiana's greatest enemy.

Chapter 401 The Yaqing Who Incited Public Outrage Did Not Hesitate to Shift the Blame to Otto

"I wonder if Kiana can hold on?"

Elysia looked worried.

"Who knows? Right now, the Herrscher of the Thousand are in the shadows, while Kiana and the others are in the open. The situation is unfavorable."

Mei sighed.

The Herrscher of the Thousand sacrificed half of their puppets to divert Anti-Entropy's attention, thus hiding in the shadows and waiting for their chance to strike, like a venomous snake, attempting to deliver a fatal blow.

"What should we do then?"

Elysia panicked.

"Sigh, well, Elysia, do you remember the promotional video?"

Mei's words brought Elysia back to the days of chasing after celebrities, when the promotional video was released.

Elysia was stunned.

The fact that Kiana was brutally beaten by the doll in the promotional video was already foreshadowed.

"Schicksal. In the eyes of the protagonists of anime, the screenwriter is like the heavens. Every stroke of the pen moves their destiny. The most tragic thing is that they cannot resist it."

It's unclear which of Vill-V's personalities has come online again.

Yaqing scratched his head, completely bewildered by what Vill-V had said, as if he were the executioner.

Only those on the inside know how the story will unfold.

Elysia and the others could only watch quietly.

Two weeks later.

Kiana is summoned to Einstein's office, where Seele is also present. From their conversation, viewers can learn that the staff at the base have changed their opinion of Kiana and are no longer prejudiced against her as before.

Kiana asked Einstein about the Herrscher of Domination.

The Herrscher of Domination has not appeared anywhere in the world for two weeks, and its core has been recovered by Anti-Entropy. Everything is moving in a positive direction.

It is precisely because things are going too smoothly that they should seem abnormal.
