[What?? The class monitor just died like that???]
[Holy shit? The story can really go like this? This has to be fake!]
[Otto!! May you rot forever!]
[Crimson Plume Immortal? Looks like the monitor's identity isn't ordinary at all…]
[Immortal? Is it the kind of immortal I'm thinking of?]
[Damn, I only just realized—the class monitor's character is overflowing with Dragon Kingdom elements!]
[Eden, hurry up and check the next chapter!]
[After watching this, I hate Otto even more!!]
[Otto! Just die already!!]
…
Eden was just as stunned by the sudden gunshot.
She never imagined that MiHoYo would be so bold, actually daring to write a sacrifice arc—and not just for any character, but for a popular one who's even in the gacha pool!
Luckily, she was a Himeko fan, so she could still bear it… though she couldn't help but feel sorry for all the Fu Hua fans.
As for Otto's character, she found him utterly detestable.
That man would sacrifice anyone's life to achieve his own goals. He didn't even spare his own granddaughter, Theresa. Truly vile.
…
Elysia had also been watching the story unfold. When Fu Hua was shot dead by Otto, she didn't show much of a reaction—she only sneaked a glance at Eden.
Seeing Eden frown but not break down, she quietly sighed in relief. Still, worried that Eden might be upset, she quickly clung to her and hugged her arm.
"Eden, Eden~ let's keep watching! Who knows, maybe there'll be a plot twist?"
Eden nodded softly and clicked on the next stage with her mouse.
The chapter opened with a cutscene.
Himeko woke from unconsciousness and checked her physical condition.
Much to the delight of Fu Hua fans in the stream, Fu Hua reappeared—this time in a new outfit—and even handed Himeko a serum that could heal her body.
Eden's eyes flickered with joy at the sight.
"So that means Fu Hua isn't dead, and Himeko can use that serum to recover."
Elysia happily chimed in: "Exactly~ Beautiful girls are gifts from heaven to the world, and it's thanks to them that the world becomes so dazzling~"
"That's why, they'll always be invincible~"
Eden smiled at that, her mood lightening as she continued watching.
Soon after, Himeko began searching around Schicksal Headquarters and quickly found Tesla, who had been tied up by Rita.
"Tesla's safe too!" Eden sighed in relief. It seemed like none of the main cast had actually been harmed.
When she freed Tesla, the game immediately played Tesla's exasperated voice lines.
"That maid!! Don't let me see her again!"
Curious, Himeko asked: "What did she do to you?"
"She humiliated me!!" Tesla, still bound to a chair, shook in fury.
That was when Himeko noticed the rope tying Tesla was tied into a bow as perfect as a work of art.
"She kept apologizing while tying me up! Saying things like…" Tesla even imitated Rita's tone: "'Forgive me, this might feel a little uncomfortable, I do apologize…'"
"Then why didn't she just let me go?!"
"And worst of all, she even sprayed perfume on both ends of the scarf! She was mocking me!!" By this point, Tesla's voice carried real indignation.
…
Eden laughed uncontrollably at the scene.
"What a meticulous maid~" Elysia giggled as well. "And she even treated adorable Tesla quite politely."
The chat barrage exploded with laughter too, but Eden and Elysia were too engrossed in the plot to pay attention.
As the story advanced, Tesla and Himeko discovered a classified file inside Schicksal Headquarters.
It was Otto's notes—detailing a drug known as the "Spear of Destiny."
This serum could instantly dismantle the Honkai energy within an Emperor-class beast.
It could also weaken the Honkai energy inside a Herrscher.
In other words, it was a weapon designed to target Herrscher-class enemies.
But creating the Spear of Destiny required a special serum called HSN-b46.
And the very vial Fu Hua had given to Himeko—the one that healed her body—was none other than HSN-b46.
Upon learning this, Himeko didn't hesitate. She handed the serum to Dr. Tesla, urging her to produce the Spear of Destiny.
It was clear she didn't care about her own life at all…
Watching this, Eden couldn't help but admire Himeko's resolve, though unease settled in her heart.
After Himeko left, Dr. Tesla also threw caution to the wind and began experimenting on herself.
Thankfully, she succeeded, safely producing the Spear of Destiny.
The scene then shifted back to Himeko.
Guided by Fu Hua, she arrived at the deepest level of Schicksal's laboratory.
On both sides of the corridor stood five display cabinets.
Inside each was a beautifully crafted battlesuit.
Adjusting the game's camera, Eden spotted familiar suits among them—the White Knight: Moonlight and Fu Hua's Shadow Knight: Moonblade.
But the way they were displayed was like a court of vassals…
At the very end of the hall, raised on a high platform, sat a single suit of crimson armor.
Eden instantly recognized it—the suit displayed like a throne belonged to none other than Himeko's S-rank battlesuit: Vermilion Knight: Eclipse.
The streaming chat went wild.
[Holy crap!! This is every man's dream—an entire hall of battlesuits! Peak aesthetic!!]
[Correction: they're women's suits.]
[Yeah, but if you had one, would you wear it or not??]
[This short scene alone shows just how exalted Vermilion Knight really is!!]
…
In the game, Fu Hua reappeared, explaining the situation to Himeko.
Through her words, the audience finally learned the truth: Vermilion Knight: Eclipse was Otto's ultimate weapon against Herrschers.
A relic left behind from the Previous Era, it was the prototype of all God-Slaying Armors.
Every other Valkyrie battlesuit was developed from this original model.
Moreover, Otto had bound the Gem of Haste to the armor, granting it the ability to fully replicate the power of the Herrscher of Flames.
Thanks to Fu Hua's narration, the battlesuit's prestige skyrocketed yet again.
[Holy crap!! This suit has such an insane backstory?!]
[Previous Era tech?? Write this down, this is definitely foreshadowing!]
[I'm pulling for her!! I don't care, I'm pulling until I get her!!]
