Genshin Impact creator: Alicia, please endorse me.

It's only been half a month since "The Queen Arrives".

The impact of that short film on them is far from over.

I wonder how much of a shock this animated short film will bring to them this time~

The final battle between Crimson Knight: Eclipse and Herrscher of the Void!

Eden clicked the first play button with anticipation.

However, after the video finished loading, the grand scene she had been expecting did not appear. Instead, a deeply sorrowful piano melody filled the air.

[Hyperion, Lower Passage of the Battleship]

In the background illustration, Himeko holds the serum of the [Godslayer Spear] in her hand, a poignant smile on her lips, accompanied by a female voice chanting a mournful song...

Eden felt a jolt in his heart as he suddenly recalled all the foreshadowing and hints from before.

She had a bad feeling...

In the narration, Himeko murmured to herself, as if bidding farewell to the girls of St. Freya Academy...

Good luck to you all!

"I really want... another drink..."

The short film was short, but it really captivated everyone's attention.

They seemed to empathize with Himeko.

I want to use my broken life to do one last meaningful thing.

He wanted to see the girls of St. Freya Academy one last time in the final moments of his life.

Then... face death with a clear mind...

The short film ended, and we returned to the level selection screen.

But Eden hesitated to click the final play button.

Now that things have come to this, let's reflect on what happened before...

Whether in the main story or the side stories, Himeko always serves as the teacher of the main characters, acting as an ordinary Valkyrie.

She has neither a powerful background nor any special advantages.

But every time she goes on a mission, she is always at the forefront of the battlefield.

In the previous main story chapters and side stories, Himeko was given many close-up shots.

Those close-ups kept suggesting that Himeko's physical condition was gradually deteriorating.

She's clearly an elderly Valkyrie destined for greatness; she could have chosen to retire and live a better life.

But she resolutely chose the worst path.

As Kiana's teacher, she is very responsible and dedicated.

As a warrior, she is very rational and considers the overall situation.

This is also a major reason why Eden became a fan of Himeko.

Eden still remembers that in the preceding part of the story, despite the generally cheerful atmosphere, Himeko acted out of character.

He spoke to Kiana in an exceptionally serious tone:

"If one day, your comrade loses control due to Honkai energy, you must not hesitate... to end her life..."

It can be said that Himeko's current achievements are definitely the pinnacle for most Valkyries.

Because the fate of ordinary Valkyries was already sealed...

Therefore, as one of the ordinary Valkyries, Himeko only has two possible endings.

One is that they are completely corrupted by Honkai energy and turned into suicide soldiers...

The second ending... is that, as a warrior, he has a magnificent finale...

If the final battle is spectacular enough, that would be the best gift miHoYo could give Himeko.

P.S.: I know what you little darlings want to see, the next chapter will be the final lesson.

These two chapters were too difficult to write. So...

Could I please get some free data? *sobs*

The next chapter will be posted after I wake up.

Chapter 29 The Last Lesson

"Eden..."

Looking at Eden's furrowed brows, Alicia understood what he was thinking.

After all, anyone who watched that short film, unless they're an idiot, could guess what would happen next.

But will not watching this video change Himeko's fate?

Obviously not; on the contrary, it would leave a regret in Eden's heart.

How could Alicia let Eden leave with regrets?

She blinked her bright eyes and hugged Eden's arm: "Eden, feel free to open it!"

Life is bound to have its ups and downs, but you can rely on Alicia without reservation. I will use all my heart to transform into a dazzling galaxy to adorn your sky.

"Alicia will never make you sad~"

Eden took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Thank you, Alicia..."

"Then let me see just how magnificent Himeko's final battle will be..."

Amidst the wails of the audience, Eden pressed the final play button.

The video begins with Benares attacking the Hyperion amidst a burst of alarms.

Himeko, wearing the Crimson Knight: Eclipse armor, easily defeated the Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

Just as she swung her greatsword, about to kill Benares, the Herrscher of the Void suddenly appeared and pulled her into the Imaginary Dimension.

The quality of this short film is on par with "Queen Arrives"; every frame is wallpaper-worthy.

Eden also watched with great attention.

Hehehe~☆

The Herrscher of the Void's highly recognizable laughter rang out.

She stood on thin air, displaying the aura of a queen: "You think you can escape?☆"

Himeko felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, she was filled with fighting spirit.

But the Herrscher of the Void simply used one hand to send Himeko flying a great distance.

"Struggle with all your might~☆"

She swung her arm and snapped her fingers.

"Crack~"

A purple cube enveloped Himeko, and then the Void Spear transformed into a sharp blade, slicing the purple cube containing Himeko into several pieces as easily as cutting tofu.

"That's about it~☆"

The Herrscher of the Void glanced disdainfully at the distant ruins, then turned to leave the space.

Eden watched with extreme concern, his brows furrowed, and said, "This... is the Herrscher of the Void really that strong? Himeko is completely powerless to fight back..."

However, the next second, a sharp blade pierced towards the Herrscher of the Void with lightning speed.

At the critical moment, the Queen summoned a void rift to transfer the blade, thus neutralizing the attack.

Seeing this, Eden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the scene switched to Himeko's perspective.

Himeko's panting voice came through the earphones.

"Is your attack... over...?"

The camera pans from bottom to top, gradually revealing Himeko's current appearance.

Her skin covered in purple patterns, her armor tattered, her body swaying... Eden felt a pang of heartache seeing Himeko in such a wretched state.

The song "Nightglow" also started playing at this moment.

The opening notes, though seemingly epic, also convey a sense of tragic grandeur.

Eden's breath caught in his throat, and he felt a lump in his throat.

She was saddened, but also moved.

Perhaps because of the groundwork laid earlier, she understood Himeko's inevitable fate, thus finding an outlet for her emotions.

Those foreshadowing moments were like a pair of gentle hands, guiding Eden's emotions and making her less unable to accept Himeko's death, thus alleviating her feelings of suffocation and irritability.

He then meticulously introduced Himeko to her, showcasing her strengths.
