Chapter 22: Winner and Villain Inventory?
At this moment, because of the accident involving Kamisato Ayaka and the others, the screen shifted to the Traveler—Lumine.
"Due to the accident that just occurred, the only person left on the track capable of continuing the race is the Traveler. Could the champion this time be the Traveler?" Katheryne said with a tone of emotion.
At this moment, Lumine was clutching her head while riding her bicycle, looking pained, while behind her, a human-shaped hole was embedded in the wall.
As time passed, Lumine kept pedaling her bike, passed the elemental reactor created by Kamisato Ayaka and her group, and charged straight across the finish line, winning the race.
"Although the journey was fraught with difficulties, let us congratulate the Traveler for winning the first-ever Hili-na Mountain Racing Tournament!" Katheryne said excitedly, holding the microphone.
As Katheryne spoke, the crowd below began to applaud incessantly. At this time, Sayu, who had been sleeping all day, woke up, looking exhausted and dazed. She mumbled, "Ah, has the race started?"
"A trip well worth it!" Zhongli said with a look of deep reflection after taking a sip of tea.
Lumine received the cabbage given by Da Wei, looking puzzled, feeling like something was missing.
"Speaking of which, where are the other contestants? Why haven't they come back yet?" At this, Lumine's 'God's Mouth'—Paimon—suddenly raised a question.
Just then, everyone turned their gaze to the large screen on the side. They saw Kamisato Ayaka and the others rushing out of the elemental reactor, running wildly in an extremely exaggerated posture.
A second later, the sound of fireworks launching into the sky caught Yoimiya's attention. She slowly turned to look, and countless fireworks ascended into the air, with a line of text appearing in the mid-air.
"Happy 2nd Anniversary, Genshin Impact!"
The video ended there.
"Today's inventory and secondary creation video ends here. Please look forward to tomorrow's inventory."
"Now, everyone can chat amongst yourselves in the group."
…
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuanyong: That running posture at the end doesn't look like that of a refined young lady. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Yae Sakura: I wanted to say it just now, but this Miss Yae Miko looks so much like me. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Kamisato Ayato: Little sister, you wouldn't really run with that posture, would you? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Kamisato Ayaka: There is no place for you in this house! ]
Kamisato Ayaka, who was already feeling shy because of that final running posture, saw her brother say this, and her anger instantly flared up. She grabbed a wooden sword and rushed into Kamisato Ayato's room, chasing him out.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Aha: A fine performance, worthy of a reward! Fun, I want more fun! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Griseo: What a pity, such a fun car is gone. Kosma, I want a car. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kosma: The car you wanted is already made, go get it from Pardo yourself. ]
…
As time passed, the second day arrived, and the inventory livestream began once again.
"Did you miss me, everyone?"
[ Genshin Impact - Arataki Itto: I did, I did, I missed you like crazy! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Pela: How long has this person's symptoms been going on? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Natasha: If there's a problem with the brain, it's probably not easy to treat, but it's not impossible. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Kujou Sara: This idiot Oni is beyond saving! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Arataki Itto: Kujou Turtle, what do you mean by that? ]
…
"In every world, there are protagonists, and naturally, there are their opposing forces, what we often call villains."
"Next, we introduce the first villain from Honkai Impact 3rd, the Overseer of Schicksal—Otto Apocalypse."
[ A photo of Otto Apocalypse appeared—readers with images, please insert them yourselves. ]
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Durandal: Ah, Lord Overseer is a villain? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Rita: This… could the livestream have made a mistake? How could Lord Overseer be a villain? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Theresa: Grandpa, you really were hiding something from me! ]
At this moment, in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, those familiar with Otto were instantly shocked when they saw the scene on the inventory screen.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Sushang: What's wrong with you all? Is there something wrong with this guy named Otto? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Rita: If it weren't for Lord Overseer, back during the Black Death hundreds of years ago, thousands upon thousands of us humans would have died, perhaps even faced extinction! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuanyong: Perhaps this is what they mean by 'no one is perfect' in fate. Maybe in places you don't know, a person has a completely different face. ]
Before transmigrating, Xuanyong had also played Honkai Impact 3rd, so naturally, he knew what kind of person Otto was. It was hard to judge.
…
"First, let's talk about the birth of Otto Apocalypse."
"He was born in Vienna in medieval Europe, a descendant of the Apocalypse family, one of the three great families of the Schicksal organization at the time. However, because he was the third son of the then-head of the Apocalypse family, he had no right to inherit the position of family head."
"But he didn't lose heart; instead, he studied diligently, became stronger, and he was very fond of scientific research and creating technological artifacts. However, his family did not understand this behavior at all, which made Otto feel that he had been abandoned by his entire family."
"Later, in 1465, Otto met the white moonlight of his life—Kallen Kaslana."
"At that time, after one of his older brothers destroyed his invention, he ran out of the house alone and cried. There, he met Kallen Kaslana, who was taking a walk. Looking at the invention in Otto's hand, Kallen acknowledged Otto's identity as a great inventor, which made Otto begin to pay attention to this young girl."
"Later, through the matchmaking of their families, Otto Apocalypse and Kallen Kaslana were betrothed. But because Kallen held the whole world in her heart, while Otto only had Kallen in his, their tragedy was destined."
…
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: So far, I don't see any sign of this Mr. Otto Apocalypse being a villain. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Marvin: Is it really true that two people who love each other can't have a happy ending? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Bronya: I think two people who love each other can be together. ]
After saying this, Bronya first looked at Xuanyong lying on the sofa, then at Seele, who was sitting beside her helping her handle affairs.
Monogamy, I am not wrong! Bronya secretly made a determination in her heart.
…
"In 1475, Schicksal launched the Eastern Expedition against the Ming Empire, with an army of 100, 000 attacking the Ming Empire in the far east."
"In this great battle, because Schicksal used the power of Honkai energy, it drew out the Immortal Phoenix. As soon as the Immortal Phoenix appeared, she wiped out the 100, 000-strong army."
"And to deal with the powerful Immortal Phoenix, Schicksal directly dispatched the strongest Valkyrie at the time—Kallen Kaslana."
"But she was still no match for the powerful Immortal Phoenix. Shortly after, Otto arrived at the scene, and when the Immortal Phoenix was about to attack Kallen, he blocked the blow for her."
