Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The meeting ended quickly, and apart from the parties involved, no one knew what had actually happened.

However, that's not important.

The entire internet is more concerned about something else.

Three days ago, the official account of Honkai Impact 3rd announced a preview live stream of the update at 7 PM tonight.

For this anime-style action mobile game under the flag of light, each version update preview is like a mini-festival.

Players would move to the live stream room in advance and wait there, filling the entire screen with comments.

They shared screenshots of the preview content with their friends who missed the live stream, and began weeks of analysis and discussion on Tieba and NGA forums.

Tonight's version number is 3.0.

One major version.

The official promotion started a week in advance.

Even gaming media outlets that don't usually play mobile games have released teaser news.

Fan artists in large fan communities have already drawn congratulatory illustrations and are waiting for the official announcement of new content.

At 6:30 p.m., before the live stream even started, the number of people waiting online had already exceeded 400,000.

Players were entertaining themselves by spamming memes in the chat.

Some people are guessing the new character, while others are betting on how many free draws will be given away.

There's a debate about who the true female lead is among the three main characters.

Some people are even seriously analyzing the foreshadowing laid in the previous chapter's plot.

What exactly does the abnormal energy reading at the Destiny Headquarters mean?

Why did the anti-entropy mech force suddenly mobilize?

And that white-haired figure that flashes by in the end credits cutscene—is it a Valkyrie who has already fallen in battle?

"Kiana's white hair is natural, and the hair at the ends of that figure's hair has a gradient, so it might be a new character. I'm guessing it's a new S-rank character."

"The person upstairs has a valid point, but I won't listen. That figure is definitely my wife, Mei."

"Mei doesn't have that villainous stance. Mei is gentle, and the aura from her back looks like she could take on ten people."

"Who cares who she is, I'll just buy it as soon as it comes out. I have 20,000 units of water, I'm pretty confident."

"You think you can win with 20,000 water? Last time I lost with 40,000 water in the S Yae Sakura pool. If it weren't for the Land of Light giving out the selectable S, I would have quit the game."

"That's the advantage of playing the Kingdom of Light game; you can always trust their benefits."

In other games, the game designers outsmart you, but in Land of Light's game, Hikaru thinks you haven't had enough of a gacha pull, so he gives you another twenty.

At 7 p.m. sharp, the live stream screen lit up on time.

The live stream room was simply decorated.

A long table, four seats, and a huge LED screen behind it.

The logo for Honkai Impact 3.0 scrolls across the screen.

Behind the long table sat familiar faces to the players.

The three giants who developed Honkai Impact 3rd.

Producer: Zhao Jiu; Chief Planner: Zhou Mingrui; Art Director: Liu Rui.

Zhao Jiu sat on the far left, holding a tablet in her hand, which displayed an outline of the content to be presented that evening.

However, when the players finally saw how many people were at the long table, they discovered a fourth person.

Yang Qian!!!

The density of the bullet comments doubled in that instant.

"Ah Guang!! You're slacking off again!!"

"See, see, I told you A-Guang would definitely appear on tonight's live stream. After the last Guatian live stream, I came to believe in one truth:"

He will definitely appear in any situation where he is not needed, and he may be absent in any situation where he is needed.

"Hilarious! Zhao Jiu used to be so unrestrained when he hosted the preview live stream all by himself. Now he's sitting so properly, like a Psyduck."

"If the boss were sitting next to you, would you dare to do a pole dance?"

"Zhao Jiu: Family, does anyone understand? The boss suddenly said he was going to do a preview live stream, and I didn't even know where to put my hands."

Yang Qian looked at the teasing comments on the screen with a knowing smile.

"I know what you're all expecting..."

Before he could finish speaking, the comments section was already flooded with responses.

"Ten consecutive pulls!"

"Free 10-pull!"

"A new S-rank character!"

"Strengthen Mei!"

"Strengthen Theresa!"

"Please, stop ripping off the plot!"

......

Various answers scrolled across the screen.

"...Here's a limited-time 20-pull as a warm-up for tonight."

Yang Qian finished speaking the second half of the sentence.

The barrage of comments instantly went into overdrive.

"Wow!! Another exciting 20-pull!! I'm going~"

"As expected of Hikaru! I knew it!"

"From today onwards, I will support A-Guang as the spokesperson for 'Honkai Impact 3rd'! Zhao Jiu, you don't need to come to the preview livestreams anymore; let A-Guang be the regular host!"

Zhao Jiu: None of my family members understand! Not only did the boss sit next to me supervising the construction, but he also ruined my job!

Once the comments quieted down a bit, Yang Qian continued with the main topic of the evening.

"As the main storyline progresses, Kiana and her companions will soon face even more difficult battles."

In version 3.0, the storyline will officially enter the Herrscher arc—a battle against those beings chosen by the Honkai Will who possess law-level power.

When facing enemies of Herrscher level, the existing Valkyrie armor is already close to its performance limit.

Therefore, strengthening the armor is imperative.

He paused for a moment, and the image on the LED screen switched from the version logo to a full CG animation.

Amidst the ruins, blinding beams of Honkai energy shot into the sky.

Mei and Bronya desperately called out a name on the shattered battlefield.

The sound was swallowed up by the roar of the explosion.

The camera slowly zooms in, passing through layers of collapsing steel frames and burning debris.

The final image focuses on a figure suspended in mid-air.

Her long, silvery-white hair fluttered wildly in the vortex of Honkai energy, and the space around her was shattering.

The girl slowly lowered her head, looking down at the tiny city on the ground.

A cold smile, unbecoming of her, played on her lips.

Several large characters appeared on the screen.

Kiana, the Herrscher of the Void.
