"Rita left us a mess and slowed us down, but that's not the key point!"

"The crucial point is... the Herrscher of the Void has also set her sights on us and intends to sabotage this plan."

Jackal: "Hold her back!"

These words made Raven want to laugh: "Hold them back? That's a Herrscher! Not an enemy you can deal with by just creating a bunch of monsters! Even if there were ten times more, you couldn't hold off a Herrscher for even a second!"

"Do you remember the Second Honkai Impact? Do you remember what she did? You should know better than me that the battle against the Herrscher is not a matter of simply increasing numbers..."

Jackal chuckled softly, his tone still incredibly arrogant: "I reviewed the scene records from an hour ago; that girl didn't demonstrate Herrscher-level destructive power..."

"It's possible she only recently awakened her power and isn't yet able to control it. According to my previous intelligence, the Herrscher of the Void was swiftly defeated just a few hours after her awakening."

"It's said that there were three S-rank Valkyries present at the time, and Rita, who just fought you, was one of them... How about that? She still lost to our meticulously planned attack, didn't she?"

Raven: "Perhaps? It is said? There are too many assumptions in your words. Perhaps Otto has methods we are unaware of?"

"Ha~ Otto? That coward who only knows how to hide behind the Valkyrie?"

The jackal chuckled disdainfully before saying:

"Instead of believing he can solve the problem, you might as well tell me that Otto invented an incredible suit of armor, got a Valkyrie who was about to retire to wear it, and she took down the Herrscher of the Void in one blow."

Raven: “…”

"Heh~ Your sense of humor is really reassuring~"

……

Upon seeing this, Kiana and Himeko couldn't help but laugh.

The viewers in the live stream were having a blast.

[Hahaha...this jackal...he just made a joke, and it actually came true!]

[It's a shame the jackal doesn't go to a fortune teller, hahaha...]

[Prophet, hurry up and kill him!]

【Official complaints are the most deadly! 】

……

After watching this scene, the audience's emotions were restored.

In the game.

Raven eventually gave in and led some soldiers to capture Kiana.

Using the property of serum gas to cause Honkai energy loss, Raven actually managed to capture Kiana.

Upon witnessing this scene, both Kiana, who was playing the game, and the viewers in the live stream were extremely nervous.

While marveling at how much Kiana has grown, I was also worried about her safety.

Just when everyone was worried, the perspective of the next part of the story suddenly shifted back to Rita's side.

Alvit: "Miss Rita, to carry out a mission alone while without your powers... this can't be described as just an adventure..."

Rita sighed, a rare occurrence for her: "You're right... but due to mismanagement, the team suffered heavy losses, and as the leader, I should bear full responsibility."

"But until this operation is over, I, standing here, still have a responsibility to thwart the World Serpent's plan!"

"Frustrate...their plan?" Alvitt looked puzzled. Wasn't our mission to hunt down the Herrscher of the Void?

Rita, however, didn't seem to care and continued explaining, "Without a doubt, as long as Lady Durandal arrives, we'll easily achieve victory."

"But what if she doesn't make it in time? If victory means... defeating the enemy in a city piled high with the corpses of thousands of innocent people... then such a victory is not what I, as a Valkyrie, need."

Hearing this, Alvit almost cried with emotion: "I...I'm so touched! I only thought about Rita's safety before...Please forgive me, Rita...Vice Captain! Please be careful!"

Through the conversation between Alvit, the best tool of Destiny, and Rita, everyone gained a new understanding of Rita and Destiny.

Because she inhaled the World Serpent's serum gas, Rita is now just a girl who is slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

Moreover, her original goal was to hunt down the Herrscher of the Void, but when she learned that World Serpent's plan was to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the city.

She still chose to cooperate with her goals and, despite her weakened state, went to stop the World Serpent's plan.

In previous chapters, many people felt that Destiny was definitely the main villain.

To achieve their goal, they were willing to sacrifice Himeko.

While Rita is elegant and beautiful, and many players like her, in their eyes, she is ultimately a woman from the villainous camp.

But now, one sentence from Rita has caused players' goodwill towards her to skyrocket.

If my previous fondness for her stemmed from her elegance and beauty, now it's because I've truly come to love the character.

It seems that only Otto was cursed by fate.

[Otto!! Mihoyo boss, you're watching the live stream, right? Come out! Take this!]

【Otto, take this!】

……

Bronya and Mo Li did indeed see these messages.

"Boss...why don't you want to appear on screen once? Let the players vent their frustrations."

Mo Li: "...No need, they were just joking."

"Is that so?" Bronya looked thoughtfully at the countless comments of "Otto, take this!"

……

In the game, as Rita delves deeper into the laboratory, Mei, who has been out of contact for a long time, finally reappears.

The moment Mei appeared, Kiana, who was playing a game, was immediately struck by her appearance.

"Wow, Mei looks so pretty dressed like this!" Kiana exclaimed, then giggled happily. "Mei's here, she'll be seeing Kiana soon, right? Hehe~ It's going to be so sweet!"

From other people's perspectives, Kiana's infatuated look is exceptionally cute.

This also reminded them of Kiana in the Sky Ranger armor set in the game.

The mature and composed demeanor contrasts sharply with the playful and adorable Kiana.

in the game.

After learning Kiana's whereabouts from Rita, Mei rushed over to rescue her in a panic.

The camera then pans to Kiana's side.

At this moment, the jackal is conducting experiments on Kiana.

In the scene, Kiana is confined in an experimental chamber, looking weak.

Jackal stared silently at Kiana in the experimental chamber, his voice trembling with excitement: "Excellent, Herrscher of the Void..."

"Your body is simply a miracle; it seems no matter what I do to it, it always returns to normal."

Immediately afterwards, Kiana let out a painful groan.

This scene immediately enraged the viewers in the live stream.

They're practically shouting, "Jackal, show us your health bar!"

Jackal only appeared in a few scenes, yet players disliked her to this extent... which is actually quite remarkable.

Kiana, enduring the pain of the experiment, asked in a weak voice:

"How many people will survive your experiment... the experiment in Sky City?"

Jackal was somewhat surprised: "You care about the number of deaths? I thought that for a Herrscher, the number of deaths was as meaningless as breadcrumbs on a table..."

"Don't worry, as long as you can still hear my voice by then, I'll tell you~"

Then, the jackal tried the next experiment.

"The connection reaction between the Herrscher's core and physiological tissues~"

Immediately afterwards, Kiana's painful screams echoed from the experimental chamber.

[My heart aches for you... I'm really angry!]

[Class monitor...please save Kiana!!]

Why do you still have to torture Kiana... Waaaaah~~ miHoYo, you have no heart!

[Otto, take this!!]

……

But as the story progresses, everyone finally realizes that Kiana actually let the jackal catch her on purpose.

While feigning pain and struggling, she began to try and extract information from the jackal.

"Speaking of Stigmata...you stole Schicksal's vaccine, offended the Valkyrie...and went through all this trouble..."

“But apart from the assassins… I’ve never seen any holy marks on anyone in the city… Your experiment must have failed.”

At this point, Kiana took a deep breath, as if enduring the pain of the experiment: "Maybe I messed up a decimal point in the arithmetic... like when I often got 340 on my exams... ugh~"
