"You're still so confident in yourself."

When Mebius saw that Walter had just hung up the phone and the web series was already finished, he immediately guessed that Yaqing had already started production before Walter had even agreed.

"I'm not confident in myself, but I'm confident in the plot."

Chapter 126 Anti-Entropy: Origins Promotional Video

Celine lives in a double room, with only her and Bella sharing a room.

"Bella, I'm so bored lately, I don't want to go to class." Celine lay on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.

“Cirin, how about…” Bella suggested, “How about we go back to the live stream?”

"Great idea!" Sirin exclaimed, intrigued.

Celine, contrary to her previous feigned demeanor, got up and rushed to the bedroom.

Her bedroom had a fresh and clean style, with purple-green wallpaper. Besides the standard large bed and wardrobe, the most eye-catching thing in the bedroom was the tire-shaped gaming pod.

The gaming pod is entirely purple-pink and allows people to lie down.

Xilin sat on the soft chair in the e-sports pod, turned on her computer, and skillfully opened the live streaming software. Because she hadn't washed her hair today, she didn't show her face, but instead used a virtual anime avatar.

"Ah, Your Majesty, you've started a live stream!"

Why isn't Her Majesty showing her face today?

"The Queen cannot remain anonymous, just as the West cannot go to Jerusalem."

"Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on losing your own image in the chaotic movie?"

"Alright, alright, I've been busy lately and haven't had time to go live. I only had a little free time today," Sirin explained.

Xilin was about to start the game as usual during her live stream.

On the barrage.

"Your Majesty, don't rush to play the game, the Honkai Impact 3rd official website has released a trailer for the web series!"

"Your Majesty, quickly switch to the official website!"

"Judging from the promotional video, it seems to be a story about reversing entropy."

"Anti-entropy?" Sirin didn't know anything about anti-entropy. Of all the people she knew, she guessed that only Bronya was related to anti-entropy.

Because of the relentless pursuit she received from Walter Yang, the leader of Anti-Entropy, in the first movie, she has always harbored resentment towards him.

Although she had some "minor issues" in the movie, did Walter have no issues at all?!

Driven by curiosity, Sirin listened to the comments and clicked on the Honkai Impact 3rd official website, where the promotional video for the web series dominated the homepage recommendations.

Xilin almost spat out the water she had just taken a sip of.

"What the hell?" Sirin couldn't hide her astonishment.

"Damn, this is amazing! I was planning to save it for after get off work, but now I can't resist watching it."

"Is Destiny finally going to sell its body? But why is it its own CEO? Hahahaha."

The promotional video page, which occupies most of the homepage, features Otto, the villain from the previous movies who gives the impression of being in complete control and as if nothing can escape his calculations. He is seen sitting in a pool resembling a public bathhouse, wearing only a bath towel.

Beside him, a young man with short, dark blue hair sat with his legs together, his demeanor completely different from Otto's, looking like a submissive.

……

North America, Anti-Entropy Headquarters.

Tesla, Einstein, Schrödinger, Planck, Edison, and other women all looked at Joyce with strange eyes, while she remained calm.

Joyce appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside, especially when he saw Einstein's incredulous gaze.

He cursed inwardly, wondering why Yang would agree to such a plot, as if he was being tricked.

Unlike movies, web series don't have ticket prices that need to be paid to the audience. Web series are primarily free. For the first time, Yaqing tried using newly researched voiceprint technology from beginning to end, without any live dubbing.

Therefore, apart from Walter Yang, no one in the Anti-Entropy Group knew anything about the plot developments.

Walter Young, also to avoid upsetting them, did not tell them.

And what he said about the internal discussions with Yaqing...

“Joyce, you…”

Before Einstein could even speak, Joyce quickly explained, "I really never bathed with Otto! I'm straight!"

Hearing Joyce's explanation, Einstein secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Schrödinger said with ill intent, "Joyce, Ein hasn't asked anything yet, why are you in such a hurry to explain? Or are you hiding something?"

When Schrödinger spoke, Edison echoed, "That's right, Joyce, what are you so nervous about?"

Faced with the combined attack of Schrödinger and Edison, Joyce was clearly struggling, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Tesla, on the other hand, adopted a detached, "it's none of my business" attitude.

Planck grabbed Edison's blue high ponytail with one hand and Schrödinger's Roman curls with the other, and said gently, "Stop bullying our little CEO, he's about to cry."

"No way!" Joyce tried to clear her name.

"Oh dear, Planck, let go of me." Schrödinger put his cat-shaped hat back on.

……

Central Europe, the headquarters of Destiny.

"Haha, I never thought that just mentioning it to Yaqing would result in it being filmed in a web series." Otto laughed, "I can already see Joyce trying to remain calm while explaining to Dr. Einstein and the others."

"Otto, did you really take a bath with Joyce?!" Karen exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, that’s right. Before they resigned from the Destiny Group, I had a long talk with Joyce all night, and I suggested that they take a bath and relax.” Otto swirled his wine glass.

"He agreed?" Karen asked curiously.

“No,” Otto shook his head. “He rejected me, but he had to agree to my proposal.”

"...Speak like a human being..."

"He needed something from me, so he was reluctant in his heart, but he had no choice but to agree."

[Clicking on the promotional video reveals a hot spring resort.]

"Otto Apokalis?"

“Hahaha, that’s right, real name, no doubt about it.” Otto’s smile was actually quite cheerful: “Otto Apocalypse, although people in the organization don’t really mention my name, that’s it… hahaha.”

Joyce thought about the name left by the Soul Steel technology, but then realized that it didn't make sense. That person was from at least several hundred years ago, so he suspected that Otto in front of him was a descendant of that person.

“I suspect you’ve heard some negative rumors. Some of them are true, while others are just pure speculation.” Otto smiled slightly. “But none of that matters.”

Otto leaned forward, getting closer to Joyce: "I am not here today as a bishop, but since we are speaking frankly, it would be too formal to address each other by pseudonyms."

"What...what are you planning to do?" Joyce's voice trembled slightly.

“Ah, my dear friend, why are you so nervous?” Otto chuckled. “If clearly explaining my purpose can ease your tension, then let’s do it this way.”

A light gleamed in Otto's eyes.

“I want you, Walter, to be my successor, Otto Apocalypse. That is to say, I will train you so that you can become the next bishop of Destiny after I step down.”

Joyce looked on incredulously.

Not only was Joyce in the video incredulous, but Theresa, who was watching the video, was also stunned.

If he becomes your heir, then what am I?

Theresa was completely bewildered.

The chat in Xilin's live stream exploded instantly.

"Did I hear that right? Otto actually wants the first leader of the Adversity Alliance to inherit the position of the next bishop of Destiny?"

"Headmistress Theresa is crying her eyes out in the bathroom."

[Theresa: If Grandpa thinks he's good, then go find him. Why bother coming to me?]

"This doesn't feel like a promotional video; it's more like a serious drama."

Celine's brain isn't quite working properly.

She didn't understand what the promotional video was about at all.

"Why does Otto seem a bit cheerful in the video?" Sirin remarked.
