After speaking, Ri Duck continued to speed towards her destination, quickly arriving not far from the front of Babylon Laboratory.

And at this moment, in the open space outside the main gate, a cubic polyhedron resembling a Rubik's Cube was floating...

Chapter 69: Little Goose Finds Her Mama (Not!)

[Is the core in front controlling the Honkai Beasts and mechs?]

As she approached the Honkai core before the laboratory, a line of red text appeared on the screen.

Subsequently, the stage's alarm sounded again, and the Honkai core's health bar lit up.

Since the health bar was already showing, what else was there to say? Attack directly!

"Eh? Is this the boss for Chapter 5? It feels so weak... I thought the Second Herrscher would be waiting at the entrance..."

Just before the fight began, a blue bullet comment floated past.

"What? Boss? No, no, no, this is barely even an elite enemy."

"Eh? Then what is the main story boss for Chapter 5?"

Seele sent a confused bullet comment.

However, Beichen didn't explain at this moment: "You'll know soon enough."

Ri Duck charged forward and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the core. After a few charged shots, the cube actually disappeared!

Along with a string of blue lightning special effects appearing on the ground, another line of red text appeared on the screen.

[First, kill the guards, then destroy the barrier.]

[The core's outer shell has been destroyed. Abnormal energy reaction detected from within.]

Following the prompt from the red text, a spherical object slowly emerged, but it couldn't be targeted or attacked.

As the core appeared, irregularly shaped small polyhedrons began to spawn on the field, rotating constantly.

While they weren't particularly strong, if left unattended, they would quickly fill the screen with bullet attacks, making it difficult to dodge.

To deal with this situation, Beichen hurriedly began clearing out these small enemies.

With a few charged shots, the monsters' health instantly dropped to zero. After the small polyhedrons were dealt with, the core's health bar lit up.

What happened next was self-explanatory.

Ri Duck unleashed her ultimate, successfully finishing the fight.

The process was so fast that the viewers in the livestream didn't even get a clear look at the monsters' appearances before the battle was over...

Seele: "This game... is it a game where if the health bar lights up, it means death?"

Otto: "Indeed, there's not much difficulty. However, I can see that the creator's focus is clearly not on clearing the stages, but on expression."

Durandal: "This kind of battle... feels too easy. It doesn't really convey the horror of the Honkai..."

Because the battles so far had been too easy and comfortable, the viewers began to complain.

In response, Beichen merely chuckled inwardly.

Honkai Impact 3rd is easy? If the health bar lights up, they die instantly? Of course, considering who I'm playing with!

"Ahem! Is it possible that it's not that the game is too easy, but that my character is too strong?"

"What?" Everyone asked in confusion.

"I'm using Ri Duck with fully maxed-out weapons and Stigmata, so it would be strange if I got stuck, wouldn't it?"

Beichen wiped his sweat and then clicked to enter the next stage.

Compared to the previous Honkai core that just stood there and took hits, the enemies in the final stage were much more difficult to deal with.

These were the Child of Dawn and the Child of Night...

"It's them again? Could it be... that these two are the final bosses of Chapter 5!"

A confused comment from Seele floated across the screen.

Seeing this, Beichen immediately replied:

"No, to be precise, it's him."

The twin monsters appeared in sequence, with the Child of Night appearing first. He was tall and imposing, with a color scheme dominated by white and blue.

He was defeated shortly after appearing...

Then the Child of Dawn appeared. The only difference between him and the Child of Night was the red color scheme.

He was also defeated shortly after appearing...

"It's over again... I feel like these two bosses are so boring, they ended so easily. Huh? The stage hasn't ended?"

Seele looked at the screen, somewhat surprised. She had expected a dialogue or story CG to pop up next.

But since nothing had appeared, it meant the battle wasn't over yet... Could it be?

"Big brother, I remember you said they could merge?"

Seele suddenly recalled what Beichen had said before.

"That's right, next you'll see the final boss of this chapter. Ashvatthaman!"

"Huh? Why do you seem like you already knew that..."

Tsk, why is this little girl reacting so quickly at a time like this?

What excuse should I use to brush this off...

Beichen thought for a moment, then said:

"Because I'm a beta tester. That means I played the game during its testing phase. So I've played this game before."

This wasn't a lie at all.

A max-level veteran Captain coming to the game world to stream the game? It's basically the same as having played it during the beta.

"Wow! That's amazing, that kind of access must have been really hard to get, right?"

"I have a way to deal with it, you don't need to worry."

After answering Seele's question, Beichen added:

"Alright, alright. Let's get back to the stream."

While they were chatting, Beichen had already dodged several of Ashvatthaman's attacks.

The monster's attack telegraphs were quite large, so as long as one stayed calm, dodging was easy.

If there was one difficult aspect, it was the arm armor mechanism.

The hand armor could be broken, and after destroying the arm armor, damage dealt to the monster would increase significantly.

Therefore, Ashvatthaman was also the only monster in this stage that could withstand Ri Duck's ultimate attack without dying.

However, it was a shame that after being hit by a motorcycle falling from the sky, its arm armor shattered...

What happened next was a foregone conclusion.

Ri Duck charged up, and Ashvatthaman's health bar instantly plummeted, eventually hitting zero...

"This is the last stage, right? Huh? That was fast..."

As the 'thrilling' battle concluded, Seele's comments floated across the screen.

"By the way, will Kiana's mother, Cecilia, appear in this chapter?"

"Don't rush. She'll be here soon."

And as Beichen's voice faded, the screen was gradually enveloped in white.

The game began playing a story CG.

[Kiana, don't let your guard down. Let's defeat it quickly and enter the "Tower".]

The scene displayed on the screen was a confrontation in front of Babylon Laboratory.

On one side of the Tower was Ashvatthaman, a subordinate of the Second Herrscher, and on the other were Kiana and Theresa.

At first glance, the two seemed to be at a disadvantage, at least in terms of presence.

However, as the camera zoomed out, an enormous lance suddenly descended from the sky, piercing Ashvatthaman!

[So... so strong, defeating a Honkai Beast in one hit.]

After Kiana's exclamation, the camera focused on Theresa's proud face.

[Hmph, that's the Holy Relic that can decompose everything, Abyss Flower!]

At this moment, the CG scene suddenly switched to a hand holding the hilt of the lance.

[Good work, Theresa.]

Then the camera zoomed out again, revealing a beautiful, white-haired, blue-eyed Valkyrie on the screen.

She was Cecilia, Kiana's mother...

"Cecilia... Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, I finally get to see her..."

As Cecilia appeared, Durandal became excited immediately...

Chapter 70: Long live World Serpent! Welcome, leader of World Serpent...

And not long after Durandal's comment floated by, a system notification sounded in Beichen's ear.

[Because your stream content, "Effort Pays Off," has brought her joy, you have received 840 Crystals!]

"An unexpected bonus? Haha! I didn't expect her to be so quiet all this time, only to become so happy when we finally met."

Of course, it wasn't just her who was pleasantly surprised; Seele, who had been eagerly waiting in the stream, was equally delighted.

"She's finally here, Cecilia... Kiana's mother, wow! She really is a beautiful and charming woman!"

The moment Seele saw Cecilia, she felt an unprecedented warmth from her gentle smile...

"I wish my mom could be this gentle too..."

What? Your mom?

A voice of a blonde woman echoed in Beichen's mind, along with the audio she played in a previous chapter...

No, no, no, that's impossible. Cocolia is a whole different story. She can't be compared to Mother-in-law at all!

As the audience's comments scrolled by, the story CG showed Cecilia's next line.

"But I'm sorry, I stole your prey."

"Hey, still so strong! As expected of Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, Cecilia."

"Hehe, don't praise me too much, Theresa... I'll get shy. By the way, the beautiful girl beside you, is that Kiana?"

At this moment, the CG camera switched to Cecilia's harmonious smile, and then cut to Kiana's profile.

"Cec... Cecilia, Mother..."

Kiana, usually full of energy, became a little shy at this moment.

The story CG slowly ended with her final soft call.

As the screen went black, the story of the fifth chapter of the main storyline finally came to a perfect conclusion...

"Congratulations, congratulations, we finally finished the game."

Beichen stretched, twisted his neck, and then looked at the time.

There was still a lot of time before dinner, so he could play something else before then.

He figured that playing for a while longer would surely earn him more rewards.

"Big brother streamer, you... do you still remember saying you'd play the animated short?"

"Of course, I remember. What? Are you impatient already?"

"Of course, I've been waiting for a long time! Hurry up!"

Not long after Seele's comment floated by, a green comment followed closely on the screen
