Little Gui's hands were trembling slightly.
With unsteady fingers, she clicked on the final video.
"This is the last part of Chapter 9, 'Journey for Tomorrow.'"
"There's no combat, just a pure short film..."
"Surely Yu Ling wouldn't hide a knife in this short film, right..."
Little Gui comforted herself.
As the video began to play.
The voice of the communications officer came through!
...
"An unidentified heat source is approaching from the rear at a speed of 420 kilometers per hour!"
"1000m…800m…500m…"
"The target's image has appeared on the display—"
The voice grew increasingly urgent,
making the hearts of all players feel as if they were being gripped by an invisible hand!
A sense of impending doom!
However.
Immediately after,
a pair of amber-like eyes were reflected on the screen.
Steadfast, without a hint of wavering!
Their owner,
held a vial of serum tightly in her hand.
"Boom!"
The alarm echoed.
Inside the cabin, the lights had turned to the dangerous red.
And she clenched the serum firmly in her hand.
Her gaze resolute as she looked up.
"It's here!"
Outside.
A massive Honkai Beast, resembling a dragon, descended upon the ship.
Unfurling its steel wings!
Wherever it passed,
the protective shields were brutally torn apart!
All the turrets on the bridge focused their fire.
But they couldn't inflict any effective damage on this powerful Honkai Beast.
Instead, one of the turrets was torn apart by its claw.
The dismantled turret was hurled directly toward the Master Control Zone.
At the same time!
Himeko also arrived at the top via the elevator!
Quickly placing the serum into the containment unit of her armor.
She hoisted her crimson Greatsword.
With a faint smile, she assumed a combat stance.
The incoming artillery turret was sent right back at the Honkai Beast.
A direct hit to its head!
The dragon-shaped Honkai Beast staggered from the blow.
Before it could even react,
Himeko's figure had already appeared above its head.
With a stomp of her foot,
the massive body of the Honkai Beast plummeted like a cannonball onto the ship's bridge.
One strike,
and it was down for good!
For a moment,
the barrage of comments flooded the screen!
...
"Teacher Himeko is amazing!"
"What you're facing—is Murata Himeko!"
"The ace of the Far East Branch!"
"So freaking fierce!"
"Greatsword + going all out."
"Fastest defeat record: 4 seconds; record holder: Vermilion Knight * Eclipse."
...
Just as Himeko raised her blade, ready to deliver the final blow to the Honkai Beast,
a white light appeared in front of her.
When she regained her senses,
the scene before her had drastically changed.
The Hyperion was gone, replaced by a petrified landscape.
The sky was chaotic, with irregular stone fragments floating about.
This place looked like a space that didn't belong to reality!
Before Himeko could carefully observe her surroundings, a soft chuckle echoed from behind her.
"Tap… tap… tap…"
The Herrscher of the Void, with her hands behind her back,
stepped on the void,
majestically descending as if walking down a staircase.
"Do you think… you can escape?"
She looked down from above, her gaze fixed on Himeko below.
Seeing this,
the barrage of comments immediately erupted with collective mockery!
...
"You dare come back now?"
"You weren't so bold when you fled in panic after being hit by the Moonlight Throne!"
"I still prefer her unruly demeanor."
"Ah, I love the sound of her stepping down the stairs!"
"What do you have to fight against Himeko, who wields the Godslayer Armor from the previous civilization?"
"Brothers, let's raise our hands and lend our strength to Murata Himeko!"
"There will always be Herrschers in the sky, daring to face Himeko's might."
...
"Are you ready to meet your end?"
The Herrscher of the Void coldly asked.
In the next moment,
she raised her right hand.
Himeko, who was dozens of meters away, suddenly found her entire body controlled by an inexplicable force, flying uncontrollably toward the Herrscher!
"Do your best to struggle."
With a gentle push of her hand,
Himeko was sent flying backward by the force.
Purple stone blocks rose from the underground.
"Bang!"
Himeko crashed into the stone, creating spiderweb-like cracks!
But it didn't end there!
The Herrscher of the Void seemed to possess immense power within this space!
She caused stone blocks to rise rapidly on both sides.
Like two mountains, they pressed down on Himeko.
"Click!"
A crisp snap of her fingers.
The cubic stone blocks began to transform like building blocks.
The center was continuously cut away.
Finally, a long spear pierced downward,
shattering it into fragments.
After all this,
the Herrscher of the Void turned her head expressionlessly.
As if truly, as she had said, her opponent was nothing but an ant.
After her divine punishment, there was no possibility of survival!
However,
at that very moment!
A crimson blade cut through the air!
The Herrscher of the Void's eyes widened in shock!
She immediately sidestepped,
creating a barrier behind her to block the incoming strike!
But the force of the blade was stronger than she had anticipated!
The spatial barrier couldn't hold it back!
She had no choice but to teleport forward.
"Hum!"
The blade stood straight, embedded in the ground.
Like a nail driven into the earth!
The live stream,
instantly erupted!
...
"Himeko!!!"
"The queen has been assassinated, prepare for the feast!"
"Himeko: I'll fight until the very end!"
"Herrscher of the Void: Damn, she's still alive!?"
"The queen's exclamation here isn't about Himeko still being able to move, but about Himeko's attack being so powerful that she had no choice but to teleport away to avoid it!"
"This place seems to be the Herrscher's domain, fighting here is such a disadvantage!"
"Where are the others? Someone help!"
"Murata Himeko, there's no need to face an enemy you can't possibly defeat…"
"Himeko: Can't possibly win? I don't understand!"
...
However,
the next scene that appeared.
Made everyone's hearts leap into their throats!
There was no time for idle chatter in the comments anymore!
From the ruins behind,
Himeko stepped forward, one step at a time.
Her heavy breathing,
her unsteady posture.
Everything indicated that the previous attack had dealt her severe damage!
Her body,
was covered in wounds!
Half of her body was marked with red lines.
Like expanding blood vessels.
She looked…
as if she was burning!
"Is your attack over?"
"Then, it's my turn now."
"No objections, right!"
...
"Himekoaaaaaah!"
"True* turn-based combat!"
"Holy crap, Himeko's condition doesn't look right!"
"Himeko seems to have been corrupted by Honkai Energy!"
"This 'No objections, right' line is so badass!!!"
"Not a single person on my ship can be lost!"
