Help! My Honkai Impact 3rd Livestream Attracted the Actual Characters!

Chapter 87: Otto—"How Is This Possible?!" Elysia—"It's the Blessing of Fate~"-

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Wow! It's Kevin! He's the leader of World Serpent now, right? So… does that mean Durandal is here to protect Kiana?"

As Kevin appeared on screen, a pink-colored comment floated across the chat.

The camera zoomed out, revealing Kevin raising his hand. Countless golden crystalline structures burst apart on the frozen battlefield.

Durandal clenched her fists, taking a deep breath.

Then—she leapt into the air, throwing a devastating punch directly at Kevin.

However—her attack was halted mid-air—striking against an invisible force field!

A metallic clash rang out, and Durandal was sent hurtling backward from the impact!

『Hard Work Always Pays Off:』 "Impossible!? I couldn't even break through his shield?!"

A perfectly formatted comment appeared in the chat…

The sender? None other than Durandal herself.

Clearly, she was shocked at seeing her future self fail to break through Kevin's defenses.

Fortunately, the in-game Durandal didn't falter.

She increased her power, pressed forward again—

And finally shattered Kevin's barrier, landing a direct hit.

Yet, despite her relentless assault—

The only effect was a few sparks flying off his body.

Her attacks left no mark on Kevin at all.

Then—the moment Durandal unleashed her most powerful lance technique—Kevin raised his hand—

And with a simple motion—

He froze her attack in place.

Durandal hovered in the sky, staring down at Kevin below.

Kevin looked up—

And slowly floated toward her.

The tension between them thickened as their powers collided—

A great battle was about to begin…

Then—

The animation cut to black.

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Eh?! That's it?!"

『where did the little lab rats hide?:』 "Isn't this a bit excessive?"

『Today's Performance Wasn't Perfect:』 "Ahaha~ What a tease! I really wanted to see if Kevin would get beaten up by a golden-haired girl! What a shame~"

As past-era warriors reacted in disappointment,

A blindingly white comment floated by—

『No Matter the Cost, Humanity Will Prevail Against Honkai:』

"..."

It was a silent response from Kevin himself.

As the animation ended, so did the game's version update.

The loading screen played, and the Hyperion bridge appeared once again.

Immediately—a pop-up notification appeared on the screen:

New Lunar New Year Event: "Shenzhou Immortal Chronicles"New S-Rank Valkyrie: "Bright Knight: Excelsis" (Durandal)New S-Rank Valkyrie: "Azure Empyrea" (Fu Hua)

Hokuto scanned through the details.

Both Durandal's and Fu Hua's banners were active.

Both were essential pulls.

Bright Knight: Excelsis was still one of the strongest physical Valkyries.Azure Empyrea

was a universal elemental support, usable in almost any team.

["Alright, everyone! Before we continue the story, how about I show you all a miracle? Two characters in 20,000 crystals!"]

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Ohh~? Are we pulling? Hehe, I don't dislike experiences full of surprises~"

Elysia was instantly intrigued.

It seemed like she enjoyed seeing others succeed.

However…

『Your Great Inventor:』 "More gacha? Are your current units not enough?"

A green comment floated onto the screen.

Clearly, Otto Apocalypse was getting impatient.

He had no interest in gacha pulls—

He wanted to see the future.

Hokuto wasn't about to let Otto have his way.

["Of course, it's not enough. I only have Herrscher of Reason, so my teams are completely unbalanced. Without a strong Physical DPS, I'll struggle in late-game Abyss and Memorial Arena."]

["Then hurry up."]

["Fine, fine. Hey, Overseer, how about a little bet?"]

["Oh? Same rules as before?"** Otto chuckled. "Very well. I'm curious to see if your absurd luck will continue."]

["If I lose, I answer one of your questions, right? Hah! That's not happening."]

["Heh. Confidence is good. Overconfidence, however… is arrogance."** Otto's tone was amused. "Let's see how far your luck takes you."]

Hokuto began his pulls.

A golden glow flooded the screen!

A familiar blonde knight appeared—

"Bright Knight: Excelsis" (Durandal) acquired!

『Hard Work Always Pays Off:』 "Wha—?! You got me in the first 10-pull?!"

Durandal's comment was filled with disbelief.

She had hoped that Otto would finally win a bet for once.

But now…

Otto Apocalypse had lost to sheer luck. Again.

『Your Great Inventor:』 "…Impossible. How?!"

Otto was completely stunned.

For someone who meticulously planned every detail…

He refused to believe that Hokuto's luck was real.

This level of fortune shouldn't be possible.

Hokuto moved on to the Azure Empyrea

banner.

Then—

10 pulls… nothing.

20 pulls… nothing.

30 pulls… still no Fu Hua.

By the time he reached 50 pulls, he had only gotten 3 Night Squire duplicates.

With only 3,200 crystals left, he was running out of chances.

『Your Great Inventor:』 "Heh. I knew it. Luck can't last forever."

Otto smugly commented.

His bet was finally turning in his favor.

["Shut up, I'll show you what 'last 10-pull miracles' really are!"]

Hokuto slammed the pull button.

The golden glow flashed—

But when the results appeared—

Three more Night Squires. No Azure Empyrea .

Hokuto froze.

Otto laughed.

["Well, well. Looks like you finally ran out of luck, Hokuto."]

["Hah! Shut up! I-I still have hope!"]

Hokuto frantically checked his resources.

He had enough for exactly ONE final pull.

He took a deep breath—

And pressed the button…

Hokuto had already spent nearly 20,000 crystals, and the pity counter on the banner was down to 40 pulls remaining.

At this point, getting the featured character so late was basically a hard pity pull…

He was frustrated.

"No way… No way! Fu Hua! Why are you avoiding me?! Is it because I work for Schicksal?!"

And if there was anything worse than bad luck—

It was having someone actively rubbing salt in the wound.

『Your Great Inventor:』 "Only one pull left, right? Just give up. What can a single pull do?"

A green comment floated across the screen.

Otto was mocking him again.

Hokuto could practically picture Otto's smug grin—

That smug 'mature gentleman' face…

It pissed him off even more.

"SHUT UP! Watch me cast a miracle!"

Determined, he got up, washed his face, took a deep breath—

And then began praying to the almighty Dawei.

["Dawei! Grant me a miracle!"]

["Sacrifice the mansion for good luck!"]

["COME ON, FU HUA! COME HOME!"]

As he yelled his final plea—

He pressed the single pull button.

As the gacha animation played, Otto's mocking tone appeared again.

『Your Great Inventor:』 "Ridiculous. Do you really think saying a few words will change your luck? Do you think after saying all that, you'll actually—"

Then—

A flash of violet light filled the screen.

The next moment, Azure Empyrea's

character art appeared.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! YES!"

『Your Great Inventor:』 "???"

[Because of your livestream content, Your Great Inventor is shocked! You have received 1,140 Crystals!]

Otto was completely dumbfounded.

It was statistically impossible.

This level of miraculous luck shouldn't be real.

Yet somehow, Hokuto always managed to defy probability.

『Your Great Inventor:』 "How… How is this possible?!"

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Hehe~"

A pink-colored comment floated across the screen…

It was Elysia.

And her words?

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Why, Maybe it's just fate's blessing~"

『Your Great Inventor:』 "Fate? What a joke. You think this is fate just because you say so?"

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Who knows? Maybe~"

Elysia's tone was playful, but Otto wasn't amused.

Meanwhile, Hokuto grinned at the screen.

["I told you, You lost because you were up against me! Now pay up!"]

Hokuto might have won the bet,

But deep down, his heart was bleeding.

Because even though he got both characters…

He had burned through nearly all his crystals.

Only 30,000 remained.

If he pushed his luck on the weapon banner and lost everything…

There'd be nothing left for future banners.

Like Herrscher of Flamescion… or Elysia.

『Your Great Inventor:』 "Hmph… You'd better stay lucky forever."

[Ding! Congratulations, the streamer has received a 20,000 RMB donation from Your Great Inventor!]

As the donation notification popped up, Hokuto's mood improved a little.

But he wasn't entirely satisfied…

["Should I go for the weapon banner next?"]

『Pink Fairy Miss:』 "Hmm? What's wrong? Aren't you going to pull for their weapons too?"

Hokuto sighed.

["Nope. I'll save up first."]

The weapon banner was way too risky.

A full pity rotation could cost nearly 10,000 crystals.

If he kept getting unlucky,

He'd drain all his resources before the next major Herrscher banner.

["I'll wait until I have more crystals before rolling for weapons."**]

『Your Great Inventor:』 "For once, you're making a rational decision."

Hokuto ignored him.

["Alright, now that we're done with gacha, it's time to continue the main story!"]

With a click, Hokuto opened Chapters 15-17.

The title appeared on-screen:

"Requiem of the Past"

To progress further, he needed to clear Chapter 15: "Lost Sands" first.

He entered the stage—

And the screen faded into a vast, sunlit desert.

The scene opened on an underground laboratory, buried beneath the sands.

Inside, Durandal was on standby, waiting for orders.

As the experiment began, a massive purple ring appeared in the sky—

A rift in space.

Scientists monitored the process, while Honkai creatures emerged from the portal.

Durandal received her mission—

Eliminate all targets.

Durandal easily crushed the Honkai creatures.

After all, as an S-rank Valkyrie, this was nothing to her.

Once the final enemy fell, the mission was cleared.

But something wasn't right.

In the next cutscene, the camera shifted—

To Schicksal's floating headquarters.

Inside a dimly lit laboratory,

Otto Apocalypse stood before a massive screen,

Observing real-time data from the North African base.

The data flowed like a torrent of numbers.

Even with the most advanced Soulsteel supercomputers,

Parsing through this much information was like searching for a single grain of sand in a desert.

The screen displayed a single critical calculation:

"Observed Node Count: 186,940,000"

"Deviation from Target: 54"

Otto stared at the result—

Then frowned.

["Deviation: 54—Minimal progress."]

Otto finally spoke after a long silence.

The experiment had failed once again.

Continuing with brute force calculations would be pointless.

He needed a more effective method to activate the Second Divine Key.

He needed—

The Power of the Herrscher of the Void.

["As I suspected… The power of the Herrscher of the Void is essential."]

Otto Apocalypse had made his decision.

The next phase of his plan was about to begin.

End of Chapter 87
