What else is there to say? Just do it!
Li Ya then fired a few powerful shots, directly emptying the polyhedron's health bar.
As the core exploded, the game directly popped up the plot dialogue, foreshadowing the end of the level.
[Theresa, the "tower" you just mentioned, is it the tower in the distance? ]
["Tower" is just an abbreviation. The actual name is Babylon Laboratory, which is a large research center built by the Destiny Organization in Siberia. There are the most advanced biology, materials, computers, and the latest energy technology of Destiny.]
Energy technology?
[The only large-scale Houkai reactor in the world is there, with an energy intensity of over 2000HW. ]
[2000HW!? Isn't that bigger than Hyperion's core reactor?]
[Hyperion? ]
After hearing about Hyperion, Theresa of this era looked confused.
But she didn't care about these things. She just sighed that the name was quite suitable for naming a battleship and mentioned the most important task at hand.
[In short, although the Second Herrscher has awakened, she is still very weak due to the lack of sufficient Honkai energy. So we speculate that she will go to the "Tower" to absorb Honkai energy. If she succeeds, no one in this world can stop her! ]
[So we must destroy her before she reaches the "tower"! ]
Judging from the information stored in the database, Theresa did not know how powerful the Herrscher was at that time, so she dared to make the bold promise to destroy the Herrscher.
Of course, Kiana across from her didn't take this too seriously. Instead, she belatedly recalled a particularly important piece of information.
[In 2000, in Siberia, the Second Honkai War broke out to fight the Second Herrscher. My mother, Cecilia, died at that time.]
"Hey! Will Kiana's mother... sacrifice herself here?"
A blue bullet screen floated by...
It was not until this moment that Seele realized the reason why Cecilia was mentioned in the second chapter of the main storyline... Was it because in the next chapter, the plot would explain the specific reason for the sacrifice of this Valkyrie?
Chapter 63: Want to leave? Aren't you curious about what Kiana's parents look like?
"Yes, didn't I already say that in Chapter 2?"
"I know. But I didn't expect... Kiana's mother would be mentioned in the later plot. Next, will Cecilia sacrifice herself in front of us?"
Xier, who has been stabbed in the game, has been exposed to the Mi-style knife technique. Now, she probably has a bad premonition...
Beichen just wanted to say, since you are here, why are you leaving? Keep watching!
"Ahem, audience, it's not good to give up halfway. You've already seen this, aren't you curious about what kind of people Kiana's father and mother, the most outstanding male and female warriors Siegfried and Cecilia, are like?"
The questions he raised can be said to have accurately captured the audience's curiosity.
"Hmm...I guess I'm a little curious..."
Xier's comments were enough to show that she had taken the bait.
This means that the little viewer will continue to watch, and then... we'll see how she reacts.
However, if we really want to talk about curiosity, there are obviously people in the live broadcast room who are more curious than Xier...
"Kiana's father and mother? Although I shouldn't be overly curious about other people's families, I actually want to know what kind of people these two are."
A comment with neat fonts floated across the live broadcast room, and the person who sent it was Yulandel.
Fortunately, she thinks Siegfried and Cecilia belong to the category of "others" rather than "herself", otherwise... I wonder if she would want to beat Otto to death after knowing the truth.
Beichen saw that his audience was so active, so he spoke up:
"Well, since everyone is so interested, let's continue."
After saying that, he clicked on the settlement interface to enter the next level.
As the level was entered, the conversation between Kiana and Theresa appeared on the screen again.
[Theresa! Theresa! ]
[Hey, what are you yelling about~]
[I want to ask you a question, Cecilia, Cecilia Shaniat, is she also here to participate in this battle? ]
Theresa's tone became serious when she heard the name Cecilia.
[Cecilia...Why do you know this name? ]
[Because, because she is the Valkyrie I admire most. ]
[Oh, that's right, but Cecilia didn't come to Siberia. She gave birth to a daughter more than a year ago, and she has been recuperating since then, so she didn't participate in the mission this time, but...]
[But what? ]
[If Siegfried and I fail to stop the Second Herrscher, Bishop Otto may force Cecilia to attack.]
"Otto... Bishop? I remember, he seemed to be mentioned in the previous chapter. He seemed to be... Theresa's grandfather?"
When she saw the name Otto appear again in the plot, Xier reacted and sent out a questioning comment:
"I thought he was just a kind old man. I didn't expect he would force the Valkyrie to fight? I think my impression of him has become worse."
As Xier's blue bullet screen floated across the screen...
A green barrage of comments followed shortly afterwards.
"..."
However, the person involved did not say much.
Beichen was a little amused when he saw that he actually sent a string of ellipsis.
Was this Otto's early dark history being brought up again? But he couldn't refute it, because it was the truth. And if he refuted it, Xi'er would definitely be unusual.
If someone asks you back "Why do you care so much about Otto?" then the situation will probably be even more awkward.
[I will never let this happen. I will definitely protect Cecilia! ]
The plot played out Theresa's inner thoughts, and Kiana agreed with them.
[That's right. Please protect her! ]
After the conversation, the game entered the real state.
After drifting in the Siberian snow for a long time, Li Ya finally had the opportunity to act.
She moved down the hillside at a very fast speed, and soon several monsters emerged from the ground.
Because it was just the simplest fish monster, Li Ya successfully defeated the monster with just a few normal attacks.
But during the battle, red subtitles suddenly appeared on the screen.
[Why does it feel like the data space has become unstable...]
Then, the screen went black, with only the subtitle "Ah!!!" standing out.
When the screen finally lit up again, the unit controlled by the player suddenly changed from a Valkyrie... to a Titan mecha!
"Eh? What's going on? Sister Bronya turned into a mecha!"
Seele's barrage appeared almost at the same time as Bronya disappeared.
In order to prevent the little fan from being exposed due to being too surprised, Beichen immediately said:
"Don't worry, the red subtitles have explained it. This is just a data anomaly."
"Oh... I thought Sister Bronya really turned into a mecha."
When Beichen saw Xier's comments, he almost blurted out "Turning into a mecha is too outrageous."
Can we say that she was too into it? So she couldn't help but regard the game as another reality?
In contrast, another viewer was not engaged at all. Maybe he is still analyzing and understanding the composition of the live broadcast room...
"This type of mecha is really old. It's huge and inconvenient to move, and it's expensive..." A green barrage of comments passed by, "It is indeed a model that will be eliminated in the future."
Just when Beichen thought of someone, that person began to make his presence felt.
Everyone else is curious about why the character suddenly turned into a mecha, but you started to seriously analyze the Titan mecha?
But it must be said that the analysis is indeed convincing.
"Yeah, it's really bulky."
Beichen echoed and began to control the mecha to beat Mei.
That's right, Mei was beaten, but it was the Shadow Valkyrie Mei generated by the game.
Of course, don't underestimate Mei. Not only can she dodge quickly, but she can also summon shadow clones to attack the enemy.
In comparison, the Titan controlled by the player is just a fool, with slow movements and a long pre-attack swing, which can be said to be quite difficult to operate...
Of course, Titan also has advantages.
After Beichen dodged two attacks in a row, he gave up the idea of actively attacking and instead pressed the dodge button to start defending.
Mei attacked and after hitting the defensive barrier, she immediately triggered a defensive counterattack.
After several counterattacks, Mei's health bar dropped to a low level. At this time, Beichen controlled the mecha to punch out a few more times, successfully killing Mei!
Then the plot dialogue at the end of the level popped up.
[Oh, by the way, Theresa, I have a favor to ask of you. When I meet Siegfried later, please help me hide the fact that I am his illegitimate daughter.]
[Huh? Why? ]
Faced with Theresa's question, Kiana hesitated for a moment, and then began her clumsy performance.
[Um... Look, this is the critical moment of the mission. If you waste time on my problem, then Mom, no, Lady Cecilia, may be in danger! ]
Kiana spoke her reasons haltingly.
[Anyway, I'll deal with my affairs after the mission is over. Thank you for your help! ]
[I understand. She is truly my niece!]
"..." Theresa's straightforward and clear reply made someone in the live broadcast room send out a series of ellipsis...
"What's wrong?"
Beichen looked at Otto's green barrage floating across the screen and then asked.
"Nothing. I just think that Theresa in real life would never be deceived by such a childish lie."
"Hmm~ That makes sense."
Beichen then clicked to enter the next level. After successfully entering the level, the game started playing CG.
[Hey, Theresa, you're finally here. ]
Before the picture became clear, a person appeared on the screen, facing the camera and making gestures.
He has the same white hair and blue eyes as Kiana, and wears a large trench coat and fingerless gloves.
The angular face was smiling at this moment.
[I heard that you met the Second Herrscher before, I am really worried about you. ]
After the words fell, the camera turned to Theresa who had one hand on her waist.
[Humph, I don't care about your worries, you pervert. ]
After hearing Theresa's answer, Siegfried didn't mind:
[Okay, okay. By the way, who is this beautiful lady next to you? ]
As he asked the question, the camera gradually zoomed out, eventually including Kiana who was standing next to Theresa.
[Beautiful lady, if there is a chance, I would really like to invite you for a drink. ]
"?" As Siegfried said this with emotion, a question mark floated across the screen.
The person who raised the question was not Xier or Bishop Otto, but Yulandel, who seldom spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm surprised, Siegfried...he would be such a frivolous person?"
