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

Although the moves looked okay, they just lacked a certain... oppressive feel.

And since it was a beginner stage for the main story, the damage was also surprisingly low...

Beichen casually dodged Theresa's attacks. Feeling bored, he simply stopped dodging.

"Alright, does anyone have anything to say? If not, I'll finish off Theresa next."

"...Nothing."

It took a long time after he finished speaking for a green bullet comment to finally appear on the screen.

She didn't say anything else? It seems Bishop Otto is unhappy with the game design? Haha, well... it is an early model, and it's an A-rank Armor after all.

In contrast, the weapon she carried, Judah, was a bit more interesting...

As Beichen thought this, he began operating Ri Duck to attack Theresa. While attacking, he also avoided the golden circle formed by Judah's placement.

This circle was quite annoying. Not only could it summon crosses to deal high damage, but it could also immobilize any enemy it touched.

It was the most vivid in-game representation of the Eleventh God Key: Key of Binding's abilities.

Of course, Beichen wasn't in the mood to get trapped in the circle and get beaten up by Theresa wielding a cross.

So, what followed was the heartwarming scene of little Ri Duck bullying little Theresa~

Ri Duck unleashed a few charged attacks, and the shells flew forward... only to be dodged by Theresa?

Afterward, the game interface changed to the characteristic full-screen color shift of Time Fracture, but it displayed a crisis-inducing red!

With the enemy's Time Fracture in effect, Ri Duck on the field became extremely slow.

Theresa seized the opportunity to attack... but was also pulled into the Time Fracture by Ri Duck's dodge.

Instantly, the color enveloping the space shifted from red to blue.

Next, it was Ri Duck's turn to shine.

A few cannonballs were fired, and Theresa's health bar plummeted. Finally, after another round of dodging and weaving, Her health bar was completely depleted...

"Theresa!!!"

At this moment, a green bullet comment floated by. The sender was Bishop Otto...

Seeing his comment, Beichen almost burst out laughing.

He didn't expect Otto to have feelings even when seeing a virtual data construct of Theresa get hurt? This program effect is really well-executed, I'll give it full marks.

"This viewer, please control yourself. Theresa is fine."

As Beichen spoke, the game popped up with the post-level story dialogue.

Standing at either end of the communication signal were Theresa and Kiana.

[Wait a minute! Are you using the Kaslana family's gun-fu?]

[Yes.]

[Who taught you?]

[My dad, of course.]

[Dad?]

[Siegfried, Siegfried Kaslana.]

Their conversation was simple and direct. As Theresa asked and Kiana answered, Theresa was shocked.

[Hmm, what's going on? She says she's Kiana, but Kiana is only one year old?]

Theresa's muttering finally made Kiana realize a problem.

[One year old? Right, when I first arrived in this virtual space, the system showed the date as February 7, 2000. Could the Theresa in front of me be from that time, which is why she doesn't recognize me!]

"Huh? Why are there two Theresas? Did Principal Theresa split into two people?"

Just as the story dialogue was playing smoothly, a blue bullet comment suddenly floated by...

Seeing Seele's comment, Beichen couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated.

Theresa can't split into two people. As for who can split into two people, you can definitely count on one.

"Theresa? Split? No, no, no, Theresa is always unique. The Theresa in front of you is data recorded from the past. You can think of her as an interactive playback."

Before Beichen could answer Seele's small question, Otto, an enthusiastic viewer in the livestream, began to help answer.

As the Archbishop of Schicksal, he was very familiar with data spaces, so he could easily answer Seele's questions.

"Oh, so that's how it is?"

As their bullet comments interacted, the story dialogue continued.

[I get it! You must be Siegfried's illegitimate daughter!]

Before Kiana could explain anything, Theresa made a self-congratulatory deduction.

[Huh!?]

Kiana was stunned by Theresa's story.

Everyone in the livestream chat was stunned too.

"An illegitimate... daughter?! Is that Uncle Siegfried guy like that?"

"Heh, looks like Theresa really dislikes Siegfried. Or... is she envious of that guy?" A green bullet comment floated by, revealing the granddaughter's true feelings from the past.

"An illegitimate daughter... could that be possible?"

As Theresa voiced her guess, three viewers in the chat expressed their thoughts via bullet comments.

And it was amidst everyone's attention that Theresa began her rant about Siegfried.

[Damn it, I knew Siegfried's private life was messy, but I didn't expect him to have an illegitimate daughter this old. So that's why you called yourself my niece.]

[Who, who's the illegitimate daughter!]

Faced with Theresa's baseless suspicion, Kiana instinctively wanted to retort.

Unfortunately, Theresa merely offered a silent consolation:

[Poor child, I know it's hard for you to accept. But this is all your perverted dad's fault!]

"Principal Theresa... seems to have a lot of issues with Siegfried?"

After Theresa dumped all the blame onto Siegfried, a neatly typed bullet comment floated across the livestream.

The sender... was Durandal, or perhaps Kiana Kaslana, who was suffering from amnesia.

Chapter 62: My Mother, Cecilia... Sacrificed?

Oh dear, is the daughter starting to feel sorry for her dad?

For some reason, Beichen's mind suddenly conjured this thought... Of course, given Durandal's personality, she probably only said that out of admiration for Siegfried's deeds.

Since she hadn't recovered her memories yet, she completely forgot about Theresa and Siegfried's defection from Schicksal years ago, and everything that happened afterward...

In this context, Siegfried was merely a senior she admired but might oppose in the future...

"Ahem, of course. Even more than a decade later, she still talked about Siegfried constantly when she brought him up. However... her opinion did improve a bit."

"Did it really improve a bit?"

"Of course. How does Theresa describe Siegfried now?"

"Perhaps so." Durandal's bullet comment floated by.

She didn't seem to care about this matter.

However, Beichen knew that the reason Theresa's evaluation of Siegfried changed from a pervert with a messy private life to a forgetful idiot... was because years ago, Siegfried had strived to protect his family.

Although he ultimately failed, he at least managed to bring out another Kiana...

[Yes, that's right. It's all that damn dad's fault. He abandoned my mother and me four years ago, and then my mother passed away.]

In the story dialogue, Kiana went along with it and fabricated an identity for herself.

[I came here specifically to find him.]

After hearing Kiana's nonsensical ramblings, Theresa's sense of justice exploded.

[Poor child. Don't worry, I will definitely help you seek justice! But this place is dangerous, let me take you away first. After this mission is over, I'll arrest Siegfried and give him a good lecture!]

"I didn't expect Principal Theresa to be so fond of lecturing people now?"

A blue bullet comment floated by...

Beichen glanced at the sender and found it was Seele sighing in amazement.

Novel 950180909

However, it was a pity that this little girl misunderstood Theresa.

This so-called 'lecture' probably wouldn't be a gentle one...

[Command Center, this is Theresa Apocalypse. Please report the current situation of the Second Herrscher.]

After the previous stage ended, Beichen immediately started the next one.

As soon as he entered the scene, Theresa's communication with the Command Center popped up on the screen.

[Lord Theresa! It's great that you're alright. After you fought the Second Herrscher, her traces appeared on the radar. To obtain the Honkai energy within the "Tower" and complete her full awakening, the Second Herrscher will definitely head to Babylon Laboratory.]

After obtaining useful information from the operator, Theresa decisively issued an order.

[Have the Valkyrie squads patrol near the "Tower," and notify the Command Center immediately if the Second Herrscher's Honkai energy reaction is detected. However, try to avoid combat with the Second Herrscher... Oh right, where is Siegfried Kaslana?]

[Lord Siegfried just arrived at the temporary command post and is on standby.]

[Understood, I will also head to the temporary command post immediately to rendezvous with him!]

The story dialogue ended, and the game entered the actual gameplay mode.

Players only needed to follow the yellow path on the ground to proceed.

Along the way, everyone in the livestream could still admire the Siberian snowscape under Beichen's guidance.

As Ri Duck moved forward, snowflakes danced and swirled, rushing towards the camera...

As the journey progressed, red subtitles gradually appeared on the screen.

[Theresa: Alright, let's hurry to headquarters so you can meet your father.]

[Theresa: We need to make a decision quickly regarding the Second Herrscher's actions.]

However, while on the way, the stage suddenly played an alarm sound, followed by a flashing of alarm lights on the screen.

Two massive Titan mechs descended from the sky...

Unlike the mechs that appeared in previous stages, these two Titan mechs were protected by a golden light all over their bodies.

Just as the battle was about to begin, a blue bullet comment floated by...

"Huh? Are these mechs new enemies? They're so big, and they're glowing with golden light... so dazzling. Do they have any special abilities?"

The person who sent the bullet comment was Seele.

Hearing the alarm and seeing the massive enemies, she thought this stage would be difficult.

However, the reality was...

"Huh? Not really, they just made the models a bit bigger and added an invincible buff."

Beichen said, pressing the normal attack button to have Ri Duck attack the Titans.

As a result, attacks that usually dealt significant damage to monsters didn't even register damage numbers on them, and their health bars remained completely still. At first glance, they seemed quite tricky.

However, the game soon provided a solution.

[Theresa: Careful, the enemies have field protection! You can't defeat them right now.]

Not long after the red subtitles appeared, a square polyhedron emerged from the floor of the battle arena.

And it... had a health bar, with a name below it, Hypothermic Honkai Core.
