The World Serpent's conspiracy quietly dissipated in the dazzling flames.
And the residents of the Sky Dome stood on the streets, looking up at this spectacle in the sky. They never imagined that just moments ago, they had narrowly escaped from the hands of the Grim Reaper.
They also didn't notice that, at this moment, the savior of this city, just like a kite with broken strings, was falling from the sky, merging into the dazzling crimson clouds.
No one knew what had happened, only Raiden Mei was running, chasing the trail of the meteor.
"Kiana…! Wait for me! I will definitely bring you back to everyone's side!"
Facing the mecha standing in her way, the only thing Raiden Mei could do was swing the blade in her hand.
At the same time, the screen shifted.
A pure white spear fell from the sky, bursting into dazzling light. Right after, trees grew madly as if injected with hormones, catching the falling Kiana.
As the trees dispersed, Kiana's sleeping face, like that of Sleeping Beauty, appeared before everyone.
———
[These trees… this is "Forest Domain Descent", isn't it?]
[I recognize this spear, this looks like the one in Durandal's hands]
[WTF? Schicksal is coming again?]
[No way, is Kiana going to fall into Schicksal's hands again?]
[Hehe, MiHoyo's scriptwriters love to pull stunts like this, huh]
———
[Back to the Video.]
Finally, after Raiden Mei painstakingly broke through the final barrier, she was only an arm's length away from Kiana.
"Kiana…"
At that moment, a blue comet fell from the sky.
At the place where the light descended, a blonde Valkyrie holding a giant knight's spear stood in front of her, her expression stern.
"You are… Valkyrie Durandal!"
As Raiden Mei exclaimed in surprise, the screen began to fade into darkness, and that subtitle people deeply loathed once again appeared before their eyes.
[To be continued…]
———
[In the Real World]
"No way, again?!"
Upon seeing this line, everyone in front of their computer screens simultaneously shouted this sentence.
Although they had experienced MiHoyo-style cliffhangers before, cutting off at this spot was simply unbearable.
All viewers wanted to know how the plot would develop next and whether Kiana would once again fall into Schicksal's hands.

[In Guinaifen's livestream room.]
"Guys! Don't panic, watch me reverse-kill with a sliver of health, AH!!!"
With a flash of swords and light, the character Guinaifen was controlling collapsed, and the base was instantly destroyed by the enemy.
Looking at the huge "Defeat" on the screen,
Guinaifen slammed down her headset with a "pa!" and pounded the desk wildly, cursing, "Damn it! Is this jungler sick or something? Targeting me nonstop, huh? Nine times! I was ganked a total of nine times!!"
Guinaifen's mental breakdown instantly blew up the livestream room.
[If you're bad, practice more. If you can't accept losing, then don't play]
[Streamer's 0-16-3 score is killing me]
[Streamer, streamer, what do you think of your 3.0 player rating?]
[Guinaifen, carry-loss dog!]
[Ever since I started watching Guinaifen's stream, I've never wasted any of my rice, so damn entertaining!]
[Guinaifen, don't take the hate, go watch the new Honkai Impact 3rd video next door]
Looking at the screen full of mocking comments, Guinaifen puffed her cheeks in anger and put her headset back on.
"Watch a video? No way! Today, this old lady is going to fight this stupid game to the end!"
Saying this, she raised her right hand and swore to the heavens:
"I, Guinaifen, swear, if I don't win at least one game tonight, I won't sleep!!!"
At that moment, a golden barrage message floated across the screen.
[Thanks to user "Herrscher of Puppets" for the high-energy comment: Guinaifen, there's Yealee in the latest episode~ (¥100)]
"PAK!"
Just moments ago she swore not to sleep if she didn't win, yet Guinaifen instantly closed the client.
Her movements were so fast they left afterimages, and she muttered with conviction, "Guys, why didn't you say so earlier? If I'd known my husband was in this episode, who would still bother playing games?!"
The comment section exploded.
[Oh, I see how it is now?]
[@StreamerGuinaifen I, Guinaifen, swear again, if I don't win one game tonight, I won't sleep]
[Guinaifen, do your oaths mean nothing to you?]
———
Looking at the barrage demanding answers, Guinaifen curled her lips into a sly smirk.
"Guys, past Guinaifen made the vow—what does that have to do with me, Guinaifen?"
Saying that, she skillfully opened her follow list and began watching the latest video.
A few dozen minutes later, after watching the video, Guinaifen cried so hard snot bubbles were about to come out, her mouth pouting like a gourd.
"Wuwuwu… MiHoyo you have no heart!!!
And… who the hell just now said Yealee would appear?! So this is what you meant by 'appear', huh?!"
The livestream comment section erupted again at her breakdown.
[Hehehe, so delicious~]
[Crycrycrycrycrycrycrycrycrycrycrycry]
[Just arrived, why is the streamer crying?]
[Definitely MiHoyo's doing!!]
[Guinaifen, I didn't lie, now you just tell me, did Yealee appear or not?]
Staring at the screen full of schadenfreude, the "evil" thought appeared again in Guinaifen's mind, 'Embarrassment shouldn't be experienced alone, good things must be shared!'
Thinking this, she quickly wiped her tears and reapplied her makeup.
After finishing, she picked up her phone and shouted into the mic, "Susang, do you want to come watch the newest Honkai Impact 3rd episode?"
On the other end of the call, Ling Susang's speechless voice came, "Guinaifen, you don't think I'd fall for your trick again, do you? My heart already followed Yealee…"
"Yealee appears in the new episode!"
"Wait for me! I'll be in your room right away!"
After hanging up, Guinaifen revealed a cunning grin, the corner of her mouth rising higher than an AK's recoil.
Staring at the screen full of barrage comments, Guinaifen smirked internally, 'Hehe, the show begins~'
———
[Half an hour later.]
Two girls who had cried their eyes out sat side-by-side in the livestream room, while the screen was flooded with, [No nesting dolls (stop stacking reactions)]
Ling Susang, sniffling, picked up the last tissue from the box. "Guinaifen, you big liar! You said there would be Yealee!"
Guinaifen, red-eyed, snatched the last tissue from Ling Susang and choked out, "You just say, did she appear or not?!"
Meanwhile, the livestream once again exploded with barrage comments.
[Guinaifen, you're too evil!]
[I feel bad for Susang getting tricked like this]
[Guinaifen: If I'm going down, everyone's going down with me!]
