Chương 230: Kongming : My Great Huang Empire is Dead?
"No, this time, it won't be a simple reincarnation." Elysia's smile held a hint of excitement. "Something even more remarkable is on the horizon, I can feel it."
Her voice held the same quiet strength as always, a gentle but unshakeable belief in humanity.
She'd always been the beacon of hope and faith, even when the previous civilization crumbled around them, she always belief in humanity.
Stubborn flowers will not lose their color due to heavy rain, and determination will surely bring out the true self in desperate situations.
"Hmph, let's see about that," Mobius scoffed, her tone masking any hint of genuine belief.
After all, what did a cold, calculating snake like her have to gain from all this?
...
"So, it seems like those two are the root of the problem once again, doesn't it?" Bronya's normally calm expression held a touch of exasperation, a hint of disappointment mixed with the helplessness that washed over her.
"I was hoping they'd have learned their lesson this time. They were off enjoying themselves in another world – what trouble could they possibly stir up?"
She let out a weary sigh.
"You really have your hands full with those two. Between the Gemini Twin Invasion and whatever this is, they never fail to be the center of chaos," Kiana observed the game plot, Even though she didn't understand half of Plot, what she knew most was that Twin was the cause of trouble.
"Hey, Bronya! Me and Liliya—" Rozaliya burst through the door, her loud voice echoing in the room. Typical Rozaliya, always creating a scene wherever she went.
"We were up super late playing games last night, so I was sleeping in this morning. Sleeeeeping so soundly." She stretched the word with a yawn.
"Honestly, if we didn't have this thing at the company, I would've snoozed all day!"
"Huh? Bronya, Seele... and Kiana? Why are you all giving us that look?" Rozaliya tilted her head, her finger tapping her lips in confusion.
Their faces were a mix of emotions, Talk about perfect timing – the game they were playing had just ended, and now this?
"Aha, I get it! Boss, it's all your doing again, isn't it?" Rozaliya clapped her hands, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. Those little tiger teeth peeked out as she tilted her head at Luo Mo, a knowing glint in her eyes.
Luo Mo, on the other hand, was utterly lost. "Wait, what? Why would you think it's my fault?"
Rozaliya blinked, a puzzled expression replacing her earlier confidence. "Huh? Isn't that what happens? Bronya always says that when things go wrong and we don't know why, it's usually the boss's fault. Seemed like the right thing to do!" She puffed out her chest, absolutely convinced she'd figured out Bronya's wisdom perfectly.
" Idiot Rozaliya, such words are not suitable to be said in person. " Liliya on the side complained expressionlessly.
Luo Mo's frown deepened as he whipped his head towards Bronya, who floated serenely in the air. Was she seriously levitating? If this were Kiana, she'd be ranting and raving by now, bringing this up in every single argument from here to eternity.

Inside, Bronya squirmed with guilt and a touch of apprehension. Sure, Luo Mo's mess-up was planned for a later game update, but technically he hadn't done it yet. How could she accuse him?
Meanwhile, Luo Mo was practically shivering despite the heat, A wave of cold sweat washed over him. When had he ever been set up like this? Even if it was in the works, it wasn't released yet! That meant he was technically innocent, right?
Bronya, what are your intentions!
"Ahem..." Bronya originally planned to scold the two sisters but she held back her words and coughed twice in embarrassment.
As their big sister, she knew she had to step in and keep them out of trouble, but sending them to some deep-sea prison seemed a bit harsh.
Plus, getting caught badmouthing their boss? Yikes. Thankfully, her poker face was holding strong.
her eyes turned to the side, and her little hands moved restlessly.
"Look, boss, Bronya didn't mean those things..." Bronya started, her voice a bit softer now. "How about this - I'll work overtime, help you nail down that next chapter's storyline... whatever you need."
She paused, then added quickly, "And hey, remember those hackers trying to mess with your system? Well, Bronya took care of those for you. Just saying."
Luo Mo shook his head, a wave of genuine hurt washing over him. The air around him seemed heavy with disappointment. "Sigh, Bronya... it's not just about the work. Listen, I get that you're good, you're capable, I know that. But does our trust in each other crumble so easily?"
His tone was a mix of confusion and genuine sadness. He looked at his employee, the question hanging in the air.
Meanwhile, Bronya gritted her teeth, doing her best to ignore her scummy boss and the urge to roll her eyes.
"Come on, Bronya, talk to me! You're my best employee!" Luo Mo pleaded, a hint of desperation creeping into his voice.
Kiana, ever the troublemaker, couldn't resist adding, "Yeah, Bronya! He totally trusts you, boss. I mean, other than the whole constant lying thing..." She punctuated her words with a sarcastic laugh.
Bronya stared at him blankly. "Boss, have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?"
Luo Mo sighed, feigning a world-weary air. "Oh, kids. You really should learn to stay busy. Busy is good..." He gave them a long-suffering look, trying to sound like the wise old adult.
Mei shook her head with a touch of exasperation. "Okay, we're getting seriously off-topic here, boss..." Despite the chaos, she couldn't help but think about her recent success with controlling the Herrscher core.
One horn down! It was a massive win.
There was still that stubborn second horn, though... a lingering reminder that her powers weren't fully tamed yet.
Rozaliya nudged Liliya with her elbow, whispering, "Liliya, why do you think everyone was giving us that look? Did we mess something up again?"
Liliya rolled her eyes. "Ugh, Rozaliya, think! Did you get us into some kind of trouble?"
"Absolutely not! Well, those pranks aren't set up yet..." Rozaliya mumbled, then perked up. "Wait, why do you automatically assume I'm the troublemaker? Liliya, it was you keeping me up all night with those games!"
Liliya's voice took on a deadpan tone. "Seriously? You had to drag me out of bed last night because I was so sleepy. Remember? And don't forget the time you won a match and literally shook me awake with excitement… while I was sleeping."
She stared at her twin, a hint of exasperation in her eyes. Despite being the younger sister, Liliya sometimes felt like the responsible one.
"Whatever, the point is, I won that last round fair and square! You totally gave in," Rozaliya argued with a grin.
"...Only because I was asleep. Don't get too cocky," Liliya muttered. A frown creased her brow as she scanned the faces of those around them. Something felt off. "Hey, Rozaliya...do you think we missed something? Like, something big?"
Rozaliya blinked, her usual carefree attitude replaced with a touch of genuine confusion. "Missed something? Like what? I don't think so..."
The pink-haired idiot's was a little surprised, Why didn't she notice it at all?
...
The game grew more and more exciting, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.
The Huang Empire players celebrated their early success, but their triumph turned short-lived, To their shock, they realized their rivals had unexpectedly joined forces.
Remember, this mini-game randomly assigns players, and the scores often depend on how many people are online.
With that in mind, one side simply can't win against two others working together, The result was inevitable – the Huang Empire faced a crushing defeat.
As long as there is a Honkai impact 3rd comment section, there will be smoke everywhere.
Some call on their own people to defend, and some gather groups to directly occupy points. There are also a lot of strategy videos to allow players to add points to their favorite camp.
Sadly for those supporting the Huang Empire, it looks like their doom is sealed. Maybe it's payback for their earlier smack talk, or maybe Rita's is so damn seductive,
When both sides are determined to kill one side, even if the people of the Huang Empire puff out smoke from their keyboards, they can only succumb to the general trend.
[Charge the Huang Empire capital! Let's claim Rita! GO GO GO]
[Beauty should be owned by the strong. Theresa needs to step aside, A Prime Minister like Rita should be teaching me instead!]
[Rita-Sama!!!, watch out! These pirates are coming to steal you away!]
[Haha! Those fools in the Huang Empire thought they were tough? Now look who's on top!]
[No! Help! Schicksal and those filthy pirates are breaking through! Our glorious Huang Empire is collapsing!]
[Waaaah! I was gone too long! I couldn't save the Empire, or our Prime Minister, or our Queen... I failed them all!]
[Rita... is this where you fall? I'm so sorry... this is where it all ends...]
[Rita deserves to be protected! Theresa, charge!]
["Theresa, sign the contract! I'll keep you safe!" Theresa... I'm so sorry. The contract is broken. I couldn't protect Rita...]
"What the heck, boss? This game is broken!" Kiana scowled at the screen, her frustration rising.
As a proud member of the Huang Empire camp, she'd been kicking butt lately! They were dominating, crushing the competition.
Sure, there were a few whiners complaining about weird map borders or whatever, but who cared? They were winning!
But now... Kiana could feel tears of rage welling up.
Their glorious Huang Empire, once so mighty, was crumbling before her eyes. Their capital was exposed, vulnerable, How had they fallen so far, so fast?
This..
Fall of Huang Empire..
…
[ Drip—— ]
The unexpected notification startled Luo Mo. The system? Seeking him out? This was a new one. Usually, he was the one chasing after it for answers! Something was definitely off – the sun must have risen in the west today...
His eyes scanned the message, disbelief washing over him.
[Crystals: 14521]
[Backup channel activated – cause unknown]
[For unknown reasons, the backup channel is activated ]
[The system has detected an abnormality in this different world and the character is threatened. Pay 10,000 crystals for emergency summon?]
[Warning: Choose carefully]
[Yes] [No]
[Answer deadline: 10, 9, 8...]
"No, no, no! Who are you even talking about? Can't you give me a full name? How am I supposed to make a decision like this?" Panic gnawed at Luo Mo, his heart pounding an erratic rhythm.
Something was definitely wrong, something big.
10,000 crystals is exactly the number of crystals for a person, and it also represents at least one excellent stigmata. The potential gain was huge, but the risks...
What was this 'alternate world' System were talking about? His mind raced, Kongming, Rita... both critical players in this whole twisted plot.
He wanted to see this storyline through, reap those sweet emotional points for a solid summon...
But the danger... I didn't seem to think about where the other person I summoned came from.
"decision? What decision? What name? Boss, are you even listening to me?" Kiana's voice cut through Luo Mo's panic, but his mind was elsewhere.
This was it – the worst-case scenario.
"Screw it. I can always cut a few more scenes for emotional impact later." The countdown ticked down, 3 seconds left.
He gritted his teeth, This chance, he couldn't afford to miss it.
[Yes?]
"YES! Damn system, YES! Let's do this." Luo Mo agreed quickly, a surge of desperation mixed with determination. This had to be Kongming – he'd figure out the rest later, He'd patch the plot holes, he always did.
" I can't choose a camp anymore. Besides, I'm saying that the Huang Empire is dead, boss? My Huang Empire - is dead -"
Kiana was still talking, and her voice was starting to grate on his nerves. If this were a phone call, he'd have hung up already.
Really, you didn't listen to this lady !
At this time, a magic circle half the size of a room protruded from the floor of the room.
If you compare it with the game, you will find that it is exactly the same.
The Valkyries immediately tensed, their bodies shifting into combat stances. Their eyes scanned the room, searching for the source of this unexpected change.
Even though they are usually a little loose, the teaching in their classes is becoming more and more strict, even if some courses are removed.
Except for a few Herrschers, several other students have eliminated more than half of them based on their own wishes or Honkai energy resistance, so they can free up so many positions and claim to the outside world that they are a pilot project for harsh teaching.
Combat classes, especially.
Mei's blade hummed with barely contained electricity, ready to strike. Kiana's guns were up, her usual cocky grin replaced by a tense frown.
Bronya shielded her sisters, her eyes narrowed in focus. Even Seele, usually so quiet, flickered between her two forms, a silent promise of chaotic power.
"Boss...what the hell?" Kiana stared at the magic circle, a sight out of their wildest sci-fi(Kiana, that fantasy) games. Her voice held a tremor of uncertainty. This felt connected to him, she knew it.
"Don't panic. It might not be hostile..." Luo Mo tried to sound reassuring, but even he couldn't fully believe it.
This emergency summon was turning into a full-blown battle, Just how dire had the situation become?
"Ahem... well, as you can see...are you my Master?" The figure materialized from the circle's white light, a flash of white silk stockings emerging first.
A fluffy, regal dress followed, the woman's form taking shape in mere moments.
White hair, meticulously pinned back, framed a face adorned with a golden orchid pendant, Her elegant dress, a blend of cool blues, gave off an air of regal intelligence.
Yet, there was a hint of uncertainty in her blue eyes, a touch of hesitation as she completed her question.
The other party held the feather fan with her hand, slightly covering her lower cheek, her eyes averted, a little embarrassed.
'Hah.. Agreement made long ago is fulfilled today,'
how could she face him now, when he knew nothing of it? Resolving herself, she repeated the practiced lines.
Luo Mo, flustered and unsure how to respond, managed only a hesitant nod. " And this... Miss..."
Kongming shook his feather fan, glanced at the people around her, and found that all of them were young girls. she couldn't help but secretly spat,
Many of them even bore a resemblance to those she remembered, especially that one girl with the perpetually ominous pronouncements.
Her expression remained carefully neutral, however. "How?" she asked, a note of urgency beneath her cool tone. "How could my Huang Empire be destroyed? Even our final defense lost only a single palace, I entrusted everything to Rita..."
What are you talking about? How could her Huang Empire perish?
If this is the case, even if she thinks she will die if she goes back, she will still go back and turn the tide!
The eyes behind the feather fan were slightly cold, If it were in her country, no one would say this.
"Speak, I'm asking you something! "

Kongming repeated again, and the sense of majesty on her body actually gave them a feeling of oppression from the Bishop of Schicksal.
Kiana was a little flustered. She never thought that someone with the same face as her aunt would appear again.
Moreover, why did this aunt give her a completely different feeling?
Auntie... can she be dignified ?
Kiana was confused.
