Mobius's eyes swept across the comnts but she offered no opinion on the viewers' speculations.
She wasn't in the mood to drop any kind of revelation in the livestream.
A light tap—she entered the next stage.
Beneath the Nagazora Wall, Raven quietly waited.
The suffocating pressure dampened her spirit, but the stench lingering in the air made her feel even more uncomfortable. That familiar, disgusting aura flowed endlessly from beyond the wall.
The source of that aura hadn't moved for a long ti—perhaps that girl had already lost consciousness.
From here on, she had to be extrely cautious. Every step counted. One misstep could be fatal.
Raven clenched her fists.
For countless nights, in countless cold dreams, she hunted the shadow of that demon—waiting for this very mont.
But…
That night three days ago remained like a haze that wouldn't disperse, lingering in her mind.
The neon lights of Arc City were brighter than the blazing sun. After a desperate life-or-death battle, she collapsed before that girl.
She had waited for the trigger to be pulled—but the gunshot never ca. When she lifted her head, what she saw were a pair of blue eyes, hesitant and wavering.
That night, the Herrscher of the Void didn't kill her.
That night, the Herrscher of the Void protected Arc City.
When the mont she had longed for finally ca… she felt nothing inside.
The emptiness that had lived with her for decades remained—a deep, bottomless void.
Raven was confused.
She knew she hated the Herrscher of the Void—but what happened in Arc City had shaken her.
Now, facing the distant but ever-approaching Herrscher aura, her mind was once again in turmoil.
Tap—tap—
The approaching footsteps of Raiden i brought Raven back to reality.
The two exchanged few words. After a brief conversation, they moved into action, clearing the Honkai beasts along the way and reaching their destination.
With howling wind surging and lightning tearing through the sky, Benares took flight, slicing through the gloomy, cloud-cloaked heavens.
As Benares drew near, i's head throbbed once more.
But there was no ti to care about that now.
With a roar, Benares dove, wind howling, and engaged the two in combat.
This was a boss battle where players controlled Raiden i. The difficulty wasn't high… because Raven's damage output was explosive. Players could slack off and still win.
Actually, this segnt was giving players a subtle hint: i's combat power really wasn't strong.
In major events, she couldn't play a pivotal role.
Unless she changed.
"This… is the end."
Looking at the collapsed Benares, i prepared to move forward.
"Wait!"
Raven suddenly spoke up: "It's not over yet. It's our enemy—but to it, we are too."
Only when one side falls… can the fight end!
Just as Raven said—
When i tried to move toward where Kiana was—
Benares, already fallen, struggled to raise its battered body again. It let out a mournful cry to the sky—and a tear slid down its eye.
It cried for failing to protect what mattered most.
To protect the queen behind it—
To ensure she would not be hard—
Even if it ant death.
With that resolve, Benares charged at them again.
But…
Already worn down, Benares, no matter how hard it tried, was no match for the two.
After a fierce battle, it was defeated and sank into the icy sea.
With the final obstacle removed—
Raven looked to the vigilant i. Both knew—their cooperation ended here.
Because neither would give up Kiana to the other.
As expected, i and Raven clashed—but the fight ended in monts.
Just a few moves—and i was sent flying.
Before she could catch her breath, Raven's claws ca down again, forcing i to barely raise her sword to block.
Having lost the Gem of Conquest, i was now just an ordinary girl—no match for Raven.
It seed i was about to fail again… "I can't do anything…"
But after everything she had been through, i had changed.
As if making a decision—Honkai energy surged toward her.
Obeying her will—it beca thunder.
BOOM!!
Crackling violet lightning exploded around her. Raven had to retreat under the shockwave.
This power… was the real deal.
Raven touched her clawed gauntlet—now scorched by lightning. The soulium-crafted claw smoked slightly—it could no longer endure more combat.
"Nice look in your eyes. I like it. Take her and go. The farther the better. Don't let her hurt anyone again. That's what you promised."
"...?"
i was confused. Why did Raven suddenly change her attitude?
Raven simply continued: "Thank yourself. In the end, you really did give a reason. Now go—before I change my mind."
A gust of wind blew—Raven vanished without a trace, leaving only her words echoing in the air.
"Raiden i, we will et again. If you want to find —you know where to go…"
[Did you see that?! i finally freaking won a solo fight! She won! HAHAHA!]
[Are y'all genuinely happy or just roasting i again in a new way…?]
[She didn't really win, right? More like Raven saw i use Herrscher powers and still kept her will—so she chose to trust her this ti. Raven's been shaken before too.]
While the viewers were excited, i had only one thought in mind—
She ignored her pain, desperate to find that person—the one she had missed countless tis.
Following Raven's hint, she passed through ruins, cleared away debris, and moved forward breathless and relentless.
She could feel it—just ahead—the Kiana she had searched so long for, was right ahead.
Taptap
[The rice cooker wife finally reuniting with Paracium! I'm shaking!]
[A historic mont is about to happen!!]
"Finally…"
After climbing the final stretch, i found Kiana on a shattered platform.
"I finally found you…"
Kiana curled up there—serene like a sleeping beauty.
But her body—
Was covered in terrifying signs of Honkai erosion.
The sight made one's heart freeze.
What happened next—was hard to describe.
After braving countless obstacles, i finally took Kiana back from Schicksal and World Serpent—ending her four-month-long search.
For four months, i had longed every day to see Kiana again—
…Yet when that mont ca, her face held no joy. Only fear.
Exhausted in body and spirit—she didn't dare to close her eyes. Because behind her eyelids—she saw that girl suffering.
She couldn't believe the one who smiled at her just two days ago—was now covered in blood and unconscious.
She didn't want to believe that her strength, her smile, her peace—were all just painful facades.
She feared Raven's words.
She rejected World Serpent's reasoning.
She prayed—prayed that everything in the operating room now was just a false alarm—
But… but… but—
A terrible truth stunned i—and stunned every viewer watching the livestream.
Kiana only had two months left.
Forget i—even the audience despaired.
After all that effort—after crossing so many hardships—giving everything, even risking her life—
Still… "I can't do anything"?
But before the viewers could explode—
A certain snake spoke first.
"Tesla is a physicist. She can perform surgery?"
Mobius spoke with her unique tone: "She knows how to treat Honkai disease? She has the knowledge? If I were there… I'd have told her to scram and let a professional handle it."
Her words left the audience stunned.
"I've looked up and down—nothing about that red twin-tailed berserker says 'dical professional.' Has Anti-Entropy lost its mind?"
"Hmm, maybe Anti-Entropy just ran out of people?"
After that round of sarcasm, she delivered her conclusion: "As expected, Anti-Entropy is useless."
Snake's Sharp Review: What a trash Anti-Entropy. Is this all they've got?
The audience might've been baffled by Mobius roasting Anti-Entropy.
But Hokuto, familiar with Mobius and watching the stream, thought—
If Mobius were actually in the ga, she might be able to save Kiana.
Though maybe Kiana would grow a pair of wings… or horns?
[Didn't catch everything, but I understood that last part: "Anti-Entropy is useless." And thinking about it… if they suck, who else can help?]
[Good point! I an, Schicksal? Nah. Kiana's suffering is totally Otto's fault. No way we go to him. That leaves… World Serpent?]
[Otto makes furious. It's all his fault. If he ever shows up with a health bar, I'm chopping him 300 tis. Minimum.]
[World Serpent? Oh yeah—didn't Raven leave a line foreshadowing that i would look for her?]
Thanks to Mobius's roast—
The viewers' stopped hearts started beating again. They believed Kiana still had a chance. No need to despair yet.
However… while i would seek help from World Serpent—
The story was far from over. And it was about to surprise them again.
