The previously buzzing viewers fell silent in unison—then quickly erupted in cheers.
[Another completely different opening line—Elysia, my goddess!]
[It's finally Miss Fairy's stream today! Amen!]
[You upstairs—do you have a problem with Brother Jie? (knife)(knife)]
[Will Miss Fairy really respond to all our hopes? I want you to stream 24 hours a day (shy).]
[I feel like today's opening animation is even more refined than before?]
"Did a sharp-eyed viewer already notice?"
Elysia saw the comment and responded, "It's because I recently visited miHoYo and learned some of their advanced techniques."
[Miss Fairy actually visited miHoYo?!]
[Did you see the actual scriptwriter at miHoYo? Does he look as detestable as Otto?]
Faced with a barrage of questions from viewers, Elysia didn't answer them one by one. Instead, she casually dropped another huge announcement.
"I went to miHoYo because Mr. Otto invited me to join Honkai Impact 3rd."
Afraid her audience wouldn't understand, she clarified:
"That means there will be a character called Elysia in Honkai Impact 3rd from now on."
That set things off—the viewers instantly exploded with excitement.
[No way, seriously?!]
[If Miss Fairy's in the game, I'll whale to oblivion!]
Of course, there were some… unusual voices.
[Miss Fairy, why would you do this to yourself? With miHoYo's writing, you probably won't even have a complete corpse left! (crying)]
[Wuwuwu~~ Elysia, you died so miserably.]
Elysia blinked, recalling what Hokuto had said to her back then, and tried to comfort her viewers.
"Mr. Otto told me that Elysia's story would be a beautiful tale of pure innocence."
"I don't think it'll be as tragic as you all fear?"
[For real? Can Otto even be trusted?]
[Believe if you want—I'm not buying it.]
The stream soon turned into a public denunciation of Otto.
Clearly, Otto's "popularity"…
Was unquestionably number one in Honkai Impact 3rd!
Seeing the viewers so fired up, Elysia didn't offer further explanations. Instead, she opened her chat app and connected to Hokuto on voice.
She had already arranged to co-stream with Hokuto today.
"I'll let Mr. Otto explain it to you himself—I invited him today~~"
Soon, Otto's voice rang out in the stream.
"Good evening, everyone." He paused. "It seems everyone is very passionate about the scripts I write. I'm… deeply moved."
[Passionate? Moved? Heh~~ Otto you bastard! Dare to show your HP bar?!]
[Watch your back at night, Mr. Otto~ (Rita smiles faintly)]
All the hate was aimed at Otto anyway—not him.
"I can indeed feel everyone's enthusiasm. However, today's main star is Miss Fairy. If we keep discussing this, it would be a bit disrespectful."
Hokuto's tone was calm and measured. Clearly, he was in control.
Elysia smoothly picked up the thread.
She opened the newly updated Honkai Impact 3rd and chatted with Hokuto: "Mr. Otto, how would you rate the new main story update?"
"Though the plot has its twists, it ends on a heartwarming note." Hokuto spoke truthfully.
Sure, earlier there was the driving exam and Kevin swearing to drive out the Honkai—but the ending of Chapter 12 was heartwarming.
[Let me translate: there's a tiny bit of sweetness but mostly pain.]
[Ha! You think we—the people—will believe your nonsense?]
[If I don't like it, I'm uninstalling Honkai Impact 3rd right now!]
Though the viewers said that, Elysia's stream viewer count still spiked by tens of thousands in minutes.
Truly a crowd of tsundere loyalists.
Or perhaps… Honkai Impact 3rd's script just had that strange kind of magic.
You know it's going to hurt—but you still want to see it.
Hokuto said no more. Elysia began playing through the main story update.
Though she'd already read the script, she still paid close attention.
The First World. The Second World.
As soon as the Second World ended, a sudden question popped up in chat for Hokuto:
[Why did you design such a kind version of Father Otto in the Second World?]
[Are you trying to suggest Otto has a good side?]
Hokuto replied, "In a way, yes. You can follow miHoYo's upcoming manga for the full story."
"There are also lines in-game that may contain key info."
[This feels off. Are you trying to redeem Otto next? I refuse!]
[Otto's too far gone—don't even try. What is this? A hard-force redemption arc? Spare me! Don't let me down, writer!]
[Blood pact from one person! Otto must die! I've got my champagne ready!]
[Two-person blood pact!]
[Three-person blood pact!]
Hokuto couldn't help but chuckle softly, joy nearly bubbling over from within.
"Everyone can rest easy—Otto will not be redeemed. He's a selfish, manipulative villain who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."
"I promise—I'm not lying."
"Feel free to clip what I just said. If I break that promise, bring this up again and call me out."
He paused, then redirected the conversation:
"Let's get back to the story."
Bronya returned to the beginning and had a brief exchange with Joachim.
After going through two different worlds, Bronya had begun to realize something.
She asked: "In the Sea of Quanta… what exactly happened?"
Joachim answered, "You're very capable. I suppose I should tell you the truth."
"Welt Yang fought to his last breath in the Sea of Quanta. His enemy was too powerful—even after giving it everything he had, he couldn't change the outcome. In the final moments of his life, he used the last of his power to create a barrier between the Sea of Quanta and the real world. This barrier does not block the dead—but it tests all living beings who enter it."
Just a few lines—and the threat lurking in the Sea of Quanta had risen several notches.
To the players, Welt was already incredibly strong.
And now, an enemy even he couldn't defeat with all his strength?
Was that the final boss Bronya would face?
Joachim opened the final world for Bronya.
The world she entered this time resembled the previous ones but was still different.
Noise filled the surroundings. Sounds of battle echoed in every direction.
"This place is…" Bronya muttered in confusion.
Suddenly, a voice rang in her ears.
It made Bronya freeze in place—and gave the players chills as well.
The image on screen sharpened—
[White Comet] Kiana Kaslana appeared before everyone, her voice as bright and energetic as ever.
"Why the hell do you look like you've seen a ghost? Got hit in the head by a shell or something?"
The familiar voice. The familiar tone.
Even though players knew it wasn't real, they still got excited—some even teared up.
And deep down, they couldn't help but worry…
After all the despair she's been through—what has the real Kiana become? ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
They didn't dare imagine.
Long-forgotten emotions surged back up in the players' hearts.
Kiana… How is she doing now?
They wouldn't have to wait long. The interlude to Chapter 11, Void Sky, Lonely Moon, would answer that very question.
Kiana's rebirth. The birth of the Herrscher of the Void. Void Drifter.
