Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Eden – Did Fu Hua Sacrifice Herself? Fortunately, I Am Ji Zichu...
Live Chat Reactions:
[Walter? Did the squad leader just die?!]
[What?! Is this for real?!]
[Otto! You must die!!]
[Scarlet Kite Immortal? The squad leader's status seems unusual...]
[Immortal? Is this the kind of immortal I think it is?!]
[I just realized that the squad leader's character is full of elements from our Dragon Kingdom!]
[Eden, hurry and check the next level...]
[After reading this, I hate Otto even more!!]
[Otto! Go to hell!!]
Eden was left stunned by the sudden gunshot.
She never expected Mi Huyou to be so bold—actually daring to create a storyline where a major character is sacrificed. And not just any character, but a fan-favorite from the card pool!
However, since she was Ji Zichu, she could at least accept it... though she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Chef Fu Hua.
As for Otto, she found him utterly detestable.
This man treated human lives like disposable tools to achieve his own goals. Even his own granddaughter, Theresa, wasn't spared. How vile.
Alicia's Concern
Alicia had been following the plot closely. When she saw Fu Hua being taken down by Otto, she didn't have any extreme reaction. Instead, she discreetly glanced at Eden, checking her expression.
Seeing that Eden only frowned slightly, Alicia sighed in relief. Still, she was a little worried that Eden might be upset. So, she clung to her arm and said playfully:
"Eden, Eden, let's check the next part of the story! Maybe there's a plot twist~"
Eden nodded and moved the mouse to start the next level.
A Sudden Reappearance
The game resumed with a short cinematic.
Ji Zi awoke from unconsciousness, checking her physical condition.
The chat erupted with joy as Chef Fu Hua reappeared—albeit in a different outfit—and even handed Ji Zi a serum capable of healing her.
Eden's eyes flickered with relief.
"So Fu Hua isn't dead... and Ji Zi can use the serum to heal herself."
Alicia clapped her hands in delight. "Yes, yes~ Beautiful girls are God's gift to the world! They make everything more magnificent~ So, of course, they're invincible!"
Eden chuckled, feeling reassured, and continued watching the unfolding plot.
Tesla's Predicament
Ji Zi continued searching through Destiny Headquarters and eventually found Tesla—tied up by Rita.
Eden exhaled in relief. "Tesla's safe too!"
As Ji Zi freed Tesla, the latter's exasperated voice-over filled the screen.
"That damn maid!! I better not see her again!!"
Ji Zi asked curiously, "What did she do to you?"
Tesla, still restrained, wiggled angrily in her chair. "She humiliated me!!"
As the camera panned, Ji Zi noticed that Tesla's ropes were tied into a perfect, decorative bow.
Tesla growled, "She even kept apologizing while tying me up! Like this— 'I'm sorry, this might be uncomfortable…'"
Ji Zi suppressed a laugh. "And you didn't tell her to let you go?"
Tesla's frustration grew. "The worst part? She sprayed perfume on the silk scarf around my neck! Was she mocking me?!"
The chat exploded in laughter.
[Rita is too meticulous! Even in kidnapping, she's elegant!]
[Tesla's suffering is our entertainment.]
[The ultimate maid experience—tied up in style!]
Eden couldn't hold back a smile. "Such a refined maid~"
Alicia giggled. "Indeed, she's quite considerate of cute Tesla."
The Discovery of the 'God-Killing Gun'
As Tesla and Ji Zi continued exploring, they found a secret file in Destiny Headquarters.
The documents revealed information about a special potion—the 'God-Killing Gun.'
This substance could instantly neutralize the Honkai energy of emperor-class Honkai beasts. More alarmingly, it could weaken the Honkai energy within Herrschers.
Essentially, it was a lethal weapon against Herrschers.
However, creating the 'God-Killing Gun' required a serum called [HSN-b46].
The shocking revelation?
The serum Fu Hua gave Ji Zi for healing—was the very same [HSN-b46] serum.
The chat fell silent for a moment before exploding in reactions:
[WAIT. SO FU HUA KNEW ABOUT THIS?!]
[Does this mean Ji Zi has to give up her cure?!]
[MiHoyo, are you serious right now?!]
Ji Zi made her decision without hesitation—she handed the serum to Tesla and urged her to create the God-Killing Gun.
She didn't even hesitate to sacrifice her own survival.
Eden felt a mix of admiration and unease. "Ji Zi is really something else..."
Alicia, sensing the shift in mood, pouted slightly. "Such selflessness... but I hope she's not just accepting her fate."
Tesla, despite her usual grumbling, wasted no time. She even used her own body for experiments to ensure the potion worked.
Thankfully, the 'God-Killing Gun' was successfully created without any complications.
The True Red Knight
The screen transitioned.
Ji Zi, guided by Fu Hua, ventured into the lowest level of Destiny's laboratory.
A grand, dimly lit corridor stretched ahead, lined with ten glass cases.
Inside each case rested an exquisitely crafted battle armor.
Eden adjusted the camera to get a better look and immediately recognized some familiar sets—White Knight Moonlight and Shadow Knight Moonwheel, the armor Fu Hua once wore.
But at the very end of the corridor, sitting on an elevated throne, was a dark red armor.
Eden's eyes widened. She recognized it instantly.
True Red Knight Lunar Eclipse.
The chat lost its mind.
[HOLY. THIS LOOKS LIKE A KNIGHT'S ARMORY!]
[My dream setup—EXCEPT IT'S ALL WOMEN'S ARMOR.]
[Tell me you wouldn't wear them?!]
[The way the True Red Knight is placed on a throne... she's the queen!]
The game continued, revealing that True Red Knight Lunar Eclipse was Otto's ultimate anti-Herrscher weapon.
A relic from the Pre-Civilization Era.
All other Valkyrie armors in Destiny were derived from its design.
What's more, Otto had fused the Plague Gem into this armor, allowing it to replicate the full power of the Herrscher of Fire.
The chat exploded again.
[NO WAY. THIS ARMOR IS THAT BROKEN?!]
[Pre-Civilization tech? THEY'VE BEEN TEASING THIS FOR SO LONG!!]
[I NEED THIS ARMOR. NOW.]
Eden remained silent for a moment before finally whispering, "So… this is the power Otto wants to control."
Alicia's expression turned serious. "And Ji Zi might be the one to wield it..."
As the live stream continued, anticipation grew.
Would Ji Zi be able to handle the overwhelming power of the True Red Knight?
Would she survive this battle?
The answers lay ahead.
And Eden was determined to find out.
