Broadcasting Honkai Impact 3rd, I Choose to Expose Kiana in Arc City!

"Major Himeko, please believe in Bronya. No matter what, Bronya wants to save Mei-senpai."

"Is this girl controlled again?" As Bronya finished speaking, a green bullet comment floated across the live stream.

It could only be said that DuckDuck's clumsy acting couldn't fool the true fool...

Chapter 52: A Certain Archbishop is Speechless, Criticized by His Subordinate and Granddaughter (

Otto's critique was sharp and accurate, pinpointing Bronya's abnormality.

"You figured it out this quickly?"

"Heh, it's just a simple analysis. A normal person in this situation would try to shirk responsibility and prove their innocence. But she chose to play the emotional card first."

As Otto's green bullet comment floated across the screen, Bronya's thoughts seemed to be laid bare.

Seeing this, Beichen, who had already seen the script, couldn't help but sigh. As expected of the fool who deceived the world, his loved ones, and even Him and the rules.

This ability to foresee things before they happened was nothing Cocolia could match.

But at this moment... he had to say something. In any case, he couldn't let Otto have all the fun!

"I don't think you can say that. Bronya has been with Kiana and the others for so long, she's developed feelings for them. At least, I think what she said came from her heart."

"Oh? From her heart? Interesting, very interesting. Then let's wait and see."

After failing to make a bet twice in a row, Otto didn't make any more betting suggestions.

His previous actions were more about probing for information. Now, it was basically confirmed that this streamer had predictions about the subsequent plot development, or rather... was he colluding with the game company?

As Otto fell silent, Beichen didn't continue the conversation.

"Himeko, I don't think Bronya's tone sounds like she's being controlled. Besides, Bronya definitely wants to save Mei more than we do."

On the screen was Kiana pleading for Bronya.

Seeing her beloved niece speak up, Theresa reluctantly agreed:

"You guys are really something~ Since everyone is determined to risk their lives with you, let's take a chance."

"Alright, hurry to the C7 passage entrance of the building."

After Bronya finished speaking, the stage finally entered the actual gameplay interface. Beichen, controlling Ri Duck, swiftly cleared the small soldiers in the stage, and soon eliminated the last wave of mobs.

As the monsters fell, the game immediately brought up combat communication dialogue. Kiana and Theresa's avatars appeared on either side.

"Kiana-chan, watching your fighting style makes the Kaslana blood in me boil too."

"Kaslana family? But aren't you the head of the Apocalypse family, Theresa?"

"Eh? Didn't Himeko tell you? It's common knowledge."

"I'm a clone, and part of my genes come from an ancestor of the Kaslana family."

"So, does that make you my grandma or something~"

"No! I'm still a young and cute girl!"

"That's right, even though she's decades old, Theresa is still a young and cute girl!"

A green bullet comment floated by gorgeously. Even without sound, one could hear the full concern.

"This viewer, please calm down. You're making things really creepy..."

Beichen reminded her with a wry smile. Fortunately, he knew the person sending this comment was a pure-hearted warrior, not a lolicon, so he didn't think too much of it.

Afterward, Theresa was triggered by Kiana's words, and the communication ended.

Ri Duck floated forward and soon entered the next scene of the stage.

As soon as she entered, Kiana and Himeko's combat dialogue boxes popped up on the screen.

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

"Are you worried about Bronya? Indeed, it's highly likely to be a trap."

As they were talking, a third person appeared.

"Don't be afraid even if it's a trap~ I'm here with you. If we find out it's a trap, we can just break through the wall and get out~"

Theresa intervened in their conversation, her tone quite casual.

It was as if this wasn't the ME Corp headquarters heavily guarded by Anti-Entropy, but a park for an evening stroll...

"Heh, I like it!" A blood-red bullet comment floated by, giving a thumbs-up to Theresa's statement.

Beichen focused his gaze and saw the sender. As expected, it was Black Seele.

Given her personality, she would indeed prefer a simple and violent solution.

"Theresa is particularly excited today."

"It's probably because she can finally carry out a mission personally after so many years."

"Speaking of which, was Theresa a Valkyrie before?"

"Yes, when she was still active, although she was reckless, her strength was formidable. She was once about to be awarded the title of S-rank Valkyrie, but she refused, because..."

The two were chatting enthusiastically when a third party appeared...

"Well, Himeko, let's stop this idle chatter~"

Seeing that her secrets were about to be exposed by her subordinate, Theresa interrupted her story at the right moment.

She confidently said to Kiana:

"Anyway, Kiana-chan, you just need to know that I'm very powerful. Let's keep moving~"

After Theresa finished speaking, the game once again entered the actual combat interface.

Since this was the second scene within a single stage, there weren't many monsters.

Beichen sent them all to the afterlife with a couple of casual moves, and then the game began to play the conversation between Kiana and Theresa.

"These robots are amazing. If Schicksal could also develop these weapons, Valkyries wouldn't have to go to the battlefield anymore."

"Unfortunately, that's impossible. Schicksal has also tried to develop unmanned Honkai energy weapons, but they all failed."

Theresa explained slowly in a tone of someone who had been through it all, responding to Kiana's wild imagination.

Having lived long enough, she naturally knew more, especially about things that had happened in the past.

"Firstly, the Honkai energy utilization rate of unmanned weapons is only 20%. Secondly, the instability of Honkai energy would destroy the physical structure of the weapons. These weapons would be scrapped after one or two uses."

"In short, it's not economical."

Theresa pointed out the reason for the difference in Honkai energy carriers between Anti-Entropy and Schicksal with a single, sharp statement.

Afterward, Himeko also chimed into the conversation, adding details.

"During Schicksal's long research, it was discovered that the Valkyrie's body is the best container and converter for Honkai energy. Honkai energy can only be stored stably within a Valkyrie's body."

Theresa took over again to add:

"However, the price for this is that the human body, as a carrier, will be continuously eroded by Honkai energy. Their lifespan will also be shortened, and they will die young."

"I already knew that. Does that mean Anti-Entropy's approach is actually correct?!"

Kiana's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise.

"Heh, so naive." As soon as the words fell, a green bullet comment floated past.

As if breaking through the dimensional barrier, Himeko's subsequent words perfectly followed his.

"Anti-Entropy's Honkai energy utilization rate has always been lower than Schicksal's. They invested a large amount of resources, yet only achieved a 20% utilization rate, but they were unwilling to widely use humans as carriers."

"Perhaps it's because the old man who founded Anti-Entropy was a more compassionate person than Schicksal. What a shame..."

"..."

Theresa's follow-up remark, however, inexplicably dealt a small blow to someone in the live broadcast...

Chapter 53: DuckDuck, Underestimated by a Certain Archbishop, is Also Working Hard

A person more compassionate than Schicksal...

More compassionate than Schicksal...

More compassionate than Schicksal...

Otto felt Theresa's exclamation echoing in his ears, as if she were saying it directly to his face.

This... was a bit hurtful.

And just as Otto was feeling a little dejected by his relative's complaint...

"Does this viewer have anything to say?"

Beichen saw Otto's ellipsis floating over and asked playfully.

The reply he received, however, was...

"Nothing."

Looking at Otto's bullet comment, he couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.

So the dignified Archbishop of Schicksal gets jealous?

Considering that Anti-Entropy broke away from Schicksal, this would be like the superior official being jealous of his subordinate.

Haha, truly unexpected.

After having his fun, Beichen continued to clear the story.

Upon entering stage 3 of Chapter 4, the game popped up a combat communication between Himeko and Bronya.

"Bronya, we've reached the C7 passage entrance."

"Password XCVF, authenticate authority, gate opening."

Bronya didn't waste any words and opened the gate decisively.

"The gate is open! That's great!"

Kiana exclaimed in surprise as the gate opened.

Whether out of caution or a lack of trust in her, Himeko subsequently spoke to remind her:

[Be extra careful after entering the building.]

[Bronya has sent you the building's map. Mei-jie is locked in a laboratory on the third floor. Bronya will open the lab door there, so please hurry. Right now, researchers are preparing to dissect Mei-jie and extract the Herrscher core from her body.]

"I have a feeling someone's holding a gun to her head saying that?"

After Bronya's urgent words, a blood-red bullet comment immediately floated across the screen.

Beichen could guess, without even looking at the list, that this was Black Seele making a sarcastic remark.

As expected of Seele's other side, she dared to think and speak, and her perception of danger far surpassed Seele's main body.

"It really does seem that way." Beichen didn't expose her but simply replied perfunctorily, "But I think this is her true feeling."

"Heh, then let's wait and see."

Just as the two finished their banter, Kiana's response appeared on the game screen.

[I won't let this happen! Don't worry, we're rushing to the laboratory at full speed now!]

[Aaaahhh! Mei, here we come!!]

Following Kiana's shout, the game entered the real-time interface. Zombies and Honkai Beasts began to emerge from the ground of the stage, and Titans started falling from the sky.

But these monsters were no match. There were barely any that could withstand Ri Duck's two shots.

Because these monsters were so fragile, Ri Duck easily advanced to a new story point, bringing up a combat communication from Himeko and Bronya.

[Password GHDDD, authentication granted, the gate is opening.]

As Bronya recited a password, Himeko then stated:

[The passage to the laboratory is now open.]

Normally, Kiana would be very happy at a time like this and say a few rousing words.
