To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Prove to me that you are more suitable than I to save her.

Then, let's reweave all destinies.

My memory has been worn down too much.

Then a pink crystal flower appeared, spinning as if it were made of crystal, making people marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship, before spinning until it shattered at its brightest moment.

But I always remember that she liked these flowers too.

Finally, amidst a sea of ​​purple flowers, in a hazy, dreamlike state, a beautiful young woman with long pink hair, elven ears, and dressed in a pure white, layered wedding gown appeared before them. Beside her stood two elves, each holding a crystal-clear purple flower in their right hand, twirling it with shimmering light; their left hands gently twirling a strand of hair. Every movement, every smile, stirred the imagination.

Although her face was obscured, the moment everyone saw her, they sensed that she was smiling, as if she would never experience sadness.

It seems to embody all the beauty of an era; otherwise, how could it be so moving?

Then the image faded out, and a Honkai Impact 3 logo appeared.

The video ended there, but the uproar it caused was far from over.

The public was only vaguely familiar with the concept of "Footprints," but after watching the exciting visuals in the PV, they knew that a major production by Destiny was about to be released and were filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, the true power brokers, such as World Serpent and Anti-Entropy, have already begun preparing to take action.

The anti-entropy conservative faction, led by Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, began actively contacting the Schicksal faction.

Meanwhile, World Serpent had secretly eliminated spies and cadres. Gray Serpent had even considered sending the video to the Lord of the Quantum Sea, but due to the limited number of words and the fact that only a small amount of information could be sent, it had to be extremely concise.

Therefore, 'It seems that Heaven foresaw the future, and the plan has been exposed. Should we inform the heroes of Paradise?'

In the Sea of ​​Quanta, Kevin, holding a bowl of instant noodles, was deep in thought. Gray Serpent had been in contact with him for a long time, and he knew that Gray Serpent was loyal to the World Serpent, would not lie, and would not do anything unnecessary.

In other words, he was now at a point where he couldn't make up his mind, and he pondered for a long time.

The heroes of Paradise shouldn't and wouldn't fight against the Collapse... Grey Serpent knew this too, but he still asked.

Now that things have come to this point, I cannot and should not interfere with their choices, regardless of whether it affects the plan. So I replied with a single word.

'Can!'

The Aftermath of Chapter 18's PV

As soon as the video was released, the number of views skyrocketed at an alarming rate.

For the people in this world, games are just for entertainment, and there are very few with such intricate storylines. Judging from the PV content alone, the characters are also very well drawn.

Just when the world could only play some homu games and mecha battles, a game featuring cute girls suddenly appeared and attracted the attention of many perverts.

And the reasons are not limited to these...

The official Tianming team heavily promoted this video, repeatedly highlighting the benefits and compensation offered by their subsidiary miHoYo, and making a high-profile announcement of recruiting game development talent worldwide.

Simultaneously, the game was promoted across all platforms. Similar advertisements appeared on all of Tianming's major platforms, including shopping, video, and novel platforms.

"A revolutionary action mobile game! Ignite the action spirit of ACG!"

"Beautiful girls, mecha, and youthful school life—let's fight together for all the good things in the world!"

......

Luo Mo was very much looking forward to the spread of these promotional slogans. With the full support of Destiny and the support of its peers, the success of Honkai Impact 3 was inevitable.

The first point is about a groundbreaking action mobile game. Ironically, in the previous game, several years after Honkai Impact 3rd was released, they were still using this slogan. What's even stranger is that everyone seemed to think there was nothing wrong with it, which is starting to get a bit out of hand.

This profoundly illustrates that while miHoYo is doing inhumane things, its competitors are also clueless about what they're doing!

Reverse Entropy also immediately expressed its appreciation for the video and stated its desire to meet with the producer in person.

The media, drawn by the juicy gossip, rushed to report on it.

[Anti-Entropy Games Co., Ltd. hopes to collaborate with miHoYo and has personally met with the company's owner!]

Meanwhile, in the underworld mercenary channels, the bounty for accurate information about miHoYo's boss is also steadily increasing.

Normally, even if a video PV goes viral, it will only stay popular for a short time. For people who are unaware of the game and don't follow it, this game is a big scoop, but it's not exactly a traffic driver. Even if it goes viral, it will still take a year or two to become popular.

As more and more people watch the video repeatedly and discuss its content enthusiastically...

Soon after the PV, miHoYo released another video announcing the official website and launch date of the game, stating that the game would officially launch in three days.

Everyone who watched the video was stunned after seeing this news. Normally, the time interval between a promotional PV and the game's release shouldn't be too long, but it should at least be measured in months. However, Honkai Impact 3rd was preparing to launch the game immediately after the promotion, with an interval of only three days.

This left not only the public bewildered, but also the media.

Just as they finished watching the video, seeing the strong support from Tianming and the popularity, and decided to take some time to interview the boss, and were still leisurely writing down questions and drafts, preparing to schedule the time to issue tasks to their subordinates, this news caught them completely off guard.

"Is miHoYo in such a hurry to reincarnate? Why are they rushing to release games? Wouldn't it be better to just ride the wave of popularity? Do they even know how to make money?!"

They cursed under their breath, but could only prepare in full swing.

At that moment, Luo, the boss of miHoYo who was in a hurry to be reborn, sneezed. His game was progressing steadily, and speed was the key.

He stated that he had no interest in money, asking what it was anyway.

After all, his goal isn't to make money. He might increase people's desire to spend money if he drags it out a bit longer, but what he needs is the system's currency!

Can money buy crystals? Or can it defeat the Honkai? If money can defeat the Honkai, then wouldn't the printing press be the greatest contributor?

The goal of a true game developer is for more people to gain something, learn something, and be moved after reading this story.

You're welcome. If you really want to thank someone, then thank the hardworking screenwriter!

Even from a purely profit-driven perspective, producing results sooner would garner more support from Destiny and allow for the mobilization of more Valkyries to assist, thus earning a higher evaluation from the system.

Creating a virtuous cycle is in my best interest, and a collapsing world is not a good place for me to stall for time.

So he chose to release the game as soon as the video was checked and found to be correct. Game testing is also underway. If it weren't for the fact that he was thinking of adding some more content and that he hadn't finalized the game's gacha system and promotional activities with the technical team, he would have released the game tomorrow.

The general public was excited; they had just finished watching the video and their excitement hadn't even subsided when they learned of this wonderful news.

"Have you heard?" Two male students discussed heatedly.

"I know, I know. I didn't expect Destiny to release this game so quickly! And the beautiful young lady, ah no, the mecha is exactly what I wanted."

"I wonder what the actual game visuals look like?"

"Don't think too much about it, let's go check out the official website."

They quickly went to the official website, and as soon as they clicked on the webpage, they saw a huge silver warship that seemed to be coming straight through the computer screen. The words "Hyperion" were written below the warship, and the silver metallic luster reflected slightly, giving it a futuristic and somewhat unreal feel.

The deck was so shiny it could almost be used as a mirror. I believe that if such a ship really existed, it would be every man's dream ship!

"Wow! Just for this warship, I love this game!" Every man looked at the screen, stroking it with his hand, wishing he had such a ship in real life.

The two male students looked away, scrolled down, and a pre-registered game popped up. A girl with white braids held two guns, a silly smile on her face. Her simple white combat uniform clung to her body, with some cat elements on it, which matched the vibe of a young girl.

Next to the picture was a promotional slogan.

"Fight for all that is good in the world!"

I promptly chose to make a reservation. The reservation page then displayed a progress bar, showing that rewards would be distributed to all players when the number of participants reached 100 million, 200 million, 500 million, and 1000 million respectively.

The highest rewards of 500 million and 1000 million will be given out as B-rank Valkyrie - Battle Gale and S-rank Valkyrie selection boxes. The B-rank Valkyrie looks like a mature and experienced older sister, and the selection box shows four characters to choose from.

However, the game hasn't been released yet, and they don't know the specific character names.

On the side of the game's pre-registration page on the official website, there is a navigation bar that displays Valkyrie characters. Currently, there is only one character on the list: Kiana, the armor that accompanies everyone through their beginner journey—the Domain Armor: White Comet. All the others are just black silhouettes.

Clicking on it displays a demonstration of White Comet's skills, with a line of small text below stating: (All of the above are actual gameplay animations)

Based on the information released on the official website and the actual gameplay demonstration, netizens are discussing it heatedly online.

"Can games these days really go this far? Is this just false advertising?" Some people couldn't believe it.

"Are you crazy? If it were a small company, it would be very suspicious, but this is under Tianming, and they were promoting it heavily a while ago. Tianming wouldn't ruin its reputation for a game." Someone immediately retorted.

As one of the world's largest corporate groups in recent years, Tianming Group boasts first-class strength in various fields such as medicine, electronics, and manufacturing. It is even said that some countries need to obtain their defense and weaponry from Tianming, demonstrating its formidable strength.

If it's just a company under Tianming, then it certainly doesn't represent Tianming.

But this time it was different. It was the head office of Tianming that led all Tianming enterprises to promote it together, which caused a huge uproar!

The most reliable of all the rumors is that Entropy Entertainment's progress in gaming has made Destiny envious, so Destiny has invested heavily in developing a groundbreaking game to break the deadlock.

After all, the feud between Anti-Entropy and Destiny has been going on for a long time. Speaking of Anti-Entropy Entertainment, it has been gaining momentum in recent years. Based in North America, its influence in some regions is comparable to that of Destiny.

It is said to have split off from Destiny, but in some aspects it has become able to rival Destiny.

Especially in the gaming sector, Destiny is already in decline, while Anti-Entropy is shouldering the mantle.

Therefore, the claim that Destiny intends to make games to compete with Anti-Entropy is not without merit.

Aside from discussing realism, most people are more concerned about the game's visuals.

Because its actual graphics and art style are so different from other games on the market, the claim of it being groundbreaking in terms of technological advancement is not an exaggeration at all.

Chapter 19 Conversations in the Office

Meanwhile, in miHoYo's office, where the Anti-Entropy duo were plotting their scheme, World Serpent was stirring, and numerous media outlets were about to flock to the company, the atmosphere was not lively but rather somewhat dull.

"Tell me, boss, what's going on here?" Bronya asked in her characteristically innocent, childlike voice, "How do you know Seele?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's fine if this game follows our past history, but why are there scenes we've never seen before?" Kiana asked curiously.

Since there was no animation during the dubbing, the group didn't have a very deep impression of it. They just thought that Destiny had a strong ability to search for information and helped Luo Mo to reasonably adapt their past experiences.

But... Seele...

Bronya felt a pang of heartache; the emotions she had lost due to the experiments couldn't stop the deep pain from welling up inside her.

She hadn't seen Seele for a long time, and didn't know how she was doing, what she looked like now, or even if she was still alive.

If it weren't for Seele... if it weren't for Seele...

She should have been the one to die in that experiment. Seele took her place; she didn't die, but she's no longer in this world.

Not the ends of the earth in terms of distance, but the possibility of never seeing each other again in a real sense.

Some people can't be met just by spending time and effort.

Bronya had tried for many years, but to no avail. She had thought more than once...

If I had stopped Seele that time...
