Bronya, 〈Quick! Tell Bronya, how were the sales?〉
Kiana☆, 〈...A total flop. Though that's partly my fault. I kept marking the difficulty as "very easy" after testing, so Bronya kept redesigning it to be harder — the game lost its fun.〉
Bronya, 〈...I see.〉
--------------------------------
[At this moment, the Frigid Empress had already donned the Herrscher of the Void outfit, her face full of uncontrollable excitement, eyes sparkling, and she shouted loudly,
"Just wait! The Herrscher of the Void's fear... is coming back!"+
After speaking, the Frigid Empress looked up to the sky and burst into a wildly arrogant laugh, waving her hands in excitement.
"Hahahahahaha..."
As the camera slowly zoomed out, Himeko's figure gradually appeared behind the Frigid Empress.
She too had finished changing, now wearing the dashing Godslayer Armor.
However, unlike the Frigid Empress, Himeko looked slightly uncomfortable. She pinched the flesh on her stomach and muttered softly,
"This outfit feels… so tight…"
But soon, Himeko resignedly muttered to herself, "Forget it, if I stay serious, this will count as dieting." ]
Kiana☆'s pupils trembled slightly, memories flooding her mind, 〈This is a filming...〉
["Ready, Action!"
With that command, filming officially began!
The Frigid Empress, who had just been laughing joyfully, instantly fell silent. Her smile vanished, her whole demeanor changed, eyes sharp and cold as she cast a sidelong glance at the camera, exuding a terrifyingly regal aura.
The Frigid Empress slowly spoke, "Come… humans…"
Just then, Himeko suddenly gripped her great sword tightly, her gaze fierce as a demon, and leapt high into the air, slashing directly toward the Frigid Empress.
"Huh?"
Faced with the sudden scene, the majestic aura the Frigid Empress had just shown disappeared completely.
Caught off guard, she widened her eyes in shock at the incoming Himeko.
Seeing the great sword about to strike her, she didn't have time to think. Instinctively, she executed a perfect barehanded blade catch, accurately grabbing the sword's edge.
However, despite catching the blade successfully, the impact was so great that the Frigid Empress stumbled backward a few steps and fell to the ground.
Panic written all over her face, she cried out repeatedly,
"Wait wait wait wait wait wait, I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die——"
The terrified expression and trembling voice formed a sharp contrast with her earlier regal image.
Hearing her cries, Himeko frowned and said unhappily,
"Weren't you the one who said you wanted to show the majesty of the Herrscher of the Void? That's why I gave it my all..."
Facing Himeko's complaint, the Frigid Empress looked utterly wronged, on the verge of tears as she explained,
"I haven't exercised in so long, I couldn't react in time, my..."
Before she could finish, her face suddenly changed, and she screamed in panic,
"My arm's cramping... Give me a break! Please! (No calcium!)!!!"]
Fu Shi, 〈Hahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Pfft... Ahem, laughing at others isn't right, Fu Shi.〉
Fu Shi, 〈You laughed too just now, I heard it!〉
Himeko, 〈Watching this video, why does the Herrscher of the Void suddenly feel kind of cute?〉
Mei, 〈Same here.〉
Bronya, 〈+1〉
Elysia, 〈Mhm mhm, such a cute girl was born to be eaten by Elysia...〉
Bella, 〈I won't hand over Her Majesty the Queen to you!〉
Mei☆, 〈Ahem, Elysia, restrain yourself. This isn't a lawless land.〉
[Embarrassing Herrscher]Wendy, 〈Clearly this is the most embarrassing Herrscher! Give me back my title!〉
Tesla, 〈Is this really the same Second Herrscher that made everyone tremble in fear?〉
Sirin, 〈.....〉
Kiana☆, 〈Don't you have anything to say?〉
Sirin, 〈That's not me at all! I would never be that dumb!〉
Kiana☆, 〈But you're not much different now.〉
Sirin, 〈Shut up!〉
Fu Lin, 〈That's right. You stay holed up in your room every day, you'll end up just like that.〉
Sirin, 〈Brother, you too... I-I got it!〉
[The scene reappeared, with the setting sun casting a soft and warm golden glow, dyeing the world in golden hues.
In this golden light stood the figure of the Frigid Empress, back facing everyone, dressed in the Herrscher of the Void outfit.
She slightly lifted her head and spoke in a somewhat proud voice,
"I'm... the immensely popular Herrscher of the Void. How could I fall in a place like this? I can still..."
Just when everyone thought the Frigid Empress was about to heroically rise again, an unexpected scene occurred—
In the next moment, her body suddenly tilted, one hand grabbing the wall, the other bracing her knee, as she began to vomit violently.
Seeing this, Himeko quickly reached out and gently patted her back, saying,
"Looks like your body's overworked..."
Meanwhile, big Ai-chan, standing beside Himeko, looked on with a speechless expression and said,
"By the way, I remember you didn't take any hits in this fight. If you want to win later, how are you supposed to act it out?"
Hearing this, the vomiting Frigid Empress looked up, her face blank as she stammered,
"Huh? Why didn't you say that earlier?"
Before she could finish, she lowered her head again and resumed vomiting.
Watching her pitiful state, big Ai-chan scratched her cheek and muttered softly,
"I just realized too... After all, the budget is limitless this time."
Hearing that, the Frigid Empress weakly asked,
"Then what should we do?"]
As the video froze on the screen, Fu Lin chuckled and said,
"Here comes the next quiz."
Kiana, 〈Finally! I've been waiting!〉
[Lady Green Lily]Otto, 〈Hehe, I've been waiting too…〉
[(Quick Question) Who is going to appear next?]
[A, The all-knowing Herrscher of Sentience]
[B, The Celestial Immortal – Fu Hua]
[C, The Thunder Queen – Mei]
[D, Nicholas]
Tesla, 〈There's not even a hint, how are we supposed to choose? Any of the four could appear!〉
Einstein, 〈But the other three options have titles, only the Herrscher of Sentience doesn't. Could that mean the correct answer is…〉
Bronya, 〈Could also be a trick to make you think it's A. Bronya thinks it might be Da Wei Bro. As the company leader, he'd probably have a plan.〉
Mei, 〈I agree with Bronya.〉
Kiana, 〈Hmph, the choices include Mei, so of course I'll pick Mei. I choose C!〉
Fu Lin smirked and said, "Looks like Kiana has made her choice."
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Idiot, don't just pick randomly!〉
Kiana, 〈It's fine~ If I get it wrong, I just have to watch an embarrassing video or do a performance. No big deal~〉
Kiana☆, 〈You fool, don't drag me into your embarrassment! I swear I'll slice you!!!〉
Kiana, 〈Auntie, save me!〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Don't look at me, I can't help you. Now all you can do is pray you got it right.〉
Fu Shi, 〈Hahahahaha, fight! Fight!...〉
Kiana, 〈Sis Fu Shi, don't fan the flames at a time like this!〉
