Nighttime, a pitch-black room, two women and one man. Don't misunderstand, nothing inappropriate for minors is going to happen next.
The three people turned off the lights for the sole purpose of easier screen casting.
Along with the familiar opening line, the projection screen was also filled with dense scrolling bullet comments.
[Grandpa, your favorite video actually got updated!]
[Grandson, Grandpa is watching it right now~]
[You damn bastard, taking advantage of me huh!]
[You guys shut up, you're disturbing me watching my husband Van!]
———
[The video continued from the last time.]
At the junction of sea and sky, scarlet lightning exploded. Van's black windbreaker flapped wildly in the storm.
Benares spread its ice crystal dragon wings that covered the sky and sun. Wherever its breath passed, even the waves froze into mountain-like sharp spikes.
"A mere firefly dares to compete for brilliance with the edge that chases the flame?"
After speaking, Van folded and dove down. The sword's edge drew a dazzling streak of fire at the base of the dragon wing. The ice crystal scales fell like rain onto the boiling sea surface.
The giant dragon let out a roar that shattered the clouds, and the tsunami swept up by its tail carried collapse energy toward the sky.
Van turned into purple lightning amid the towering waves. The shattered sword suddenly burst with a supernova-like bright light.
The moment the sword tip pierced Benares' reverse scale, the entire sea area lit up like daytime.
"Fall into the abyss! No ripples in the River of Forgetfulness, a peaceful dream across three lives!"
Van roared, pouring all his energy into the sword. Benares wailed as it fell toward the seabed.
The giant dragon's shadow crashed down, splashing towering waves. The long sword in Van's hand also turned to dust in the thunderlight and drifted away.
The sea surface gradually calmed. A breeze lifted Van's bangs, revealing bloodstained but still sharp eyes and brows.
———
At this moment, countless viewers all stared dumbfounded at the screen, feeling deep yearning.
The bullet screen instantly filled the entire display.
[Damn, even as a man, I think this is freaking cool!]
[Husband take me!]
[Husband Van, your sword is no longer sharp enough. Why don't you use mine instead?]
[Bush, Gomen!]
[Even this broken path, you guys can keep going huh?]
It wasn't just the frenzied bullet comments, even Ji Xuanyuan, who had decided for life to commit herself to the yuri cause, had to admit this man in the video was insanely handsome.
'Ah~ what a pity he's a man.' Ji Xuanyuan shook her head in disappointment. 'If only he were a girl.'
As if thinking of something, Ji Xuanyuan looked toward Van, who was beside Fu Hua, with a confused expression.
'How come... this man looks kind of familiar... kind of like... and the name too...'
Ji Xuanyuan shook her head in horror, forcibly shaking out the absurd idea in her mind.
'Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if this guy looks a bit handsome, in terms of aura he's still far behind the man in the video!'
———
[Back to the video.]
"Cough cough..." Van stumbled onto a floating island. Blood was seeping from a cracked wound at the base of his right thumb.
After simply bandaging it, Van had just prepared to leave when a familiar teasing voice suddenly rang beside his ear.
"An absolutely splendid performance."
A golden holographic projection lit up in the air. Otto clapped his hands and walked out from the light screen.
"Old friend, you should know better than me, if we don't eliminate the source, this kind of pseudo-law of the Herrscher will return sooner or later."
Van pressed on his bleeding wound and sneered coldly, "Otto, you talk so damn much, why don't you go act in stage plays?"
"Quite the opposite."
Otto snapped his fingers and pulled up a real-time feed of St. Freya Academy's people battling the Herrscher of the Void.
In the image, Theresa and the others were locked in a bitter fight.
"In the deepest part of this floating island, there is a secret laboratory. It stores the legacy left from the Previous Era civilization. After my modifications, that thing now has the ability to kill Herrschers..."
"What's the condition?" Van stood up, interrupting Otto.
"Go be the hero in the story." Otto's smile soaked in the blood-colored moonlight,
"After all, in the next act of the play... we all need fitting props, don't we?"
"Just you wait!" Looking at the map data transmitted to his terminal, Van strode rapidly in that direction.
"Once I'm done with this, I swear I'll smash your disgusting face to bits!"

[Elsewhere, on the stargazing platform of the upper levels of Schicksal HQ]
Clang!
Taixu's Grip clashed again with Aphrodite, and the bursting sparks lit up Fu Hua's profile.
She took a half-step back to dispel the cold from the scythe, her expression cold as she said, "Move aside, Rita. I don't want to be your enemy."
"Very unfortunate. The Overseer specifically instructed..."
Rita lightly spun to evade the incoming force blow, the blooming blood-red rose on her skirt unusually brilliant.
"You must not be allowed to go to the rebellious Far East branch."
The scythe drew a deadly arc. The floor tiles under Fu Hua's feet instantly cracked apart.
Fu Hua's pupils shrank. She punched and shattered the incoming blood-red rose. Sensing the massive collapse energy coming from the direction of the Helios, golden light surged in Fu Hua's eyes.
"Then don't blame me for using extreme methods. Shadow Knight system, Eclipse Mode activate!"
Golden patterns suddenly covered Fu Hua's entire body. A cold, hard mask crept up her face, emanating an intense aura of killing intent.
Rita's expression changed sharply. Just as she was about to teleport, she was pinned in place by a raging air current.
Just as Fu Hua's fist was about to hit the maid outfit, a pure white lance fell like a meteor.
Amid the huge dust cloud raised by the fall of Black Abyss White Flower, Durandal stepped out.
"That's enough, both of you."
The strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal's voice carried irrefutable authority. "You're both warriors fighting for the world. I don't want you getting hurt over this."
"Durandal..."
Fu Hua withdrew and jumped back, looking at Durandal with a complicated face. "Even you want to help Otto?"
"My loyalty is to the path of Schicksal's survival." The strongest Valkyrie stood firm with her spear, then turned and said, "Go, Fu Hua."
Fu Hua, "???"
"We cannot offer you assistance. But our fight is not just for our beliefs, it's for those we cherish."
Saying this, Durandal looked into the distance. "If I were in your position, I'd probably make the same choice."
Looking at Durandal in front of her, and Rita, now returned to maid mode, behind her,
Fu Hua paused, then said, "Thank you for your kindness. I'll remember this favor."
With that, Fu Hua turned and leapt from the edge of the floating island, disappearing into the chaotic sky.
Elsewhere, the two members of the Immortal Blade squad silently watched Fu Hua's departing back, without saying a word.
Finally, Rita broke the silence.
"Lady Bianca, why didn't you stop her? She... will die."
"That was her decision."
"What a pity. I didn't even dislike her."
———
The two's conversation completely blew up the viewers.
[Holy crap, turns out Rita stopped Fu Hua for this reason!]
[My wife Rita is actually a tsundere softie!]
[Oh~ my god! This damned wicked woman is actually so charming!]
[Dear friend upstairs, if you keep speaking in that damn translated speech tone, I swear I will shove my boot right up your ass. I swear I'll do it.]
