Honkai Star Rail: Developing Mobile Games on Xianzhou

Chapter 213: Chapter 212: Duke Inferno: Kids, This Isn’t Funny



The Reverie Hotel, VIP Area.

This area had been rented out by the company specifically for watching and discussing content related to Honkai: Star Rail.

Aventurine and Topaz were staring in shock at the scene before them.

Black Swan being tossed around by Acheron.

Feathers and blood scattering behind her…

Beside Topaz.

Numby was hiding behind her, peeking out with a small head, cautiously watching.

As if afraid the woman in the video would rush out and grab it.

Topaz clicked her tongue.

Feeling pity for this Memokeeper.

"It seems Miss Acheron's strength is even greater than we imagined..."

"Even a Memokeeper like Black Swan was utterly crushed in her own domain..."

"Oh, and by the way, she's also the culprit behind the Duke Inferno case."

"This is no small matter. She has the capability to completely overturn the table."

Aventurine nodded in deep agreement.

"Good thing we conducted a risk assessment beforehand and didn't enter the dream immediately."

"If the Bloodhounds of the Family push her too far, Miss Acheron might just go berserk and destroy Penacony."

As Aventurine spoke, a glint flashed in his eyes.

He was pondering.

Although Acheron's power is terrifying, if utilized properly, couldn't she be a sharp blade?

"So, she's an Emanator?"

Topaz stroked her chin, as if asking herself.

"Isn't it obvious? With that kind of strength, what else could she be but an Emanator!"

The two tacitly chose not to continue the conversation.

It was now certain that Acheron was an Emanator.

But which Path's Emanator she was remained unknown.

However, in the minds of Topaz and Aventurine, one option had already been ruled out.

At the very least, she shouldn't be an Emanator of The Hunt!

Although her sharpness and lethality have some resemblance to The Hunt, Emanators of The Hunt are more associated with Xianzhou.

How could a wanderer of Emanator level suddenly appear in the universe?

Moreover, her identity as a wanderer isn't genuine.

Combined with the dream before arriving in Penacony, Aventurine already had a guess.

"Just a bit more..."

"If only a bit more about Acheron's story is revealed..."

"I can figure out her true identity."

...

Exalting Sanctum Garden.

Sparkle still had a bit of ice cream residue at the corner of her mouth.

But at this moment, Sparkle had no time to care about that.

The corners of her mouth were almost reaching her ears.

She couldn't suppress it at all!

In the latter half of the video, the tone suddenly changed!

The mysterious wanderer seemed like a completely different person!

She pounded on Black Swan relentlessly!

Her feathers were all plucked!

"Ha ha ha ha ha..."

"Great! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

"This is just too entertaining!"

"Serves you right for not dancing with me!"

Today.

For the Masked Fools.

It felt like a holiday!

Even the remaining ice cream cone in her hand seemed to taste better!

Sparkle gave a resounding thumbs-up!

Ever since she started playing Honkai: Star Rail.

The amount of entertainment she witnessed daily far surpassed what she had seen in the past year!

She absolutely adored this game!

She adored its developer, Yu Ling!

And the fun didn't stop there.

The real show had just begun.

...

Hotel Lobby.

Watching Acheron "slaughter" Black Swan.

Everyone was stunned!

Players heading to Penacony.

Hotel staff.

Family security and managers.

For a moment, everyone seemed petrified.

Previously, Black Swan's prestige was already sky-high in the hearts of all players!

At the start of this dance.

Just as all players had anticipated.

Black Swan took the lead.

Everything was unquestionable.

Until, in just a few short seconds.

Everything turned upside down.

No one could muster a smile anymore.

Completely unexpected!

Miss Acheron's prestige far surpassed that of Black Swan!

This was simply too shocking!

Especially for the family members.

Seeing this scene.

They felt a chill from head to toe.

"What… what's the point of catching her now?"

"She's so ruthless…"

"She's practically a devil!"

"This is too surreal…"

"The hunter often appears as the prey!"

"Quick, remind the brothers checking the rooms to come back immediately!"

"If we provoke this she-devil, she might just slaughter us all!"

At that moment.

The frantic violin music came to an end.

Just as everyone thought Black Swan was about to die.

The scene returned to the hotel stage.

Black Swan was supported by Acheron with one hand on her waist.

She was drenched in sweat!

Breathing heavily, pupils dilated.

For a Memokeeper, who specializes in collecting memories, to be in such a state, one could only imagine how terrifying the experience had been!

And at this moment.

A glimmer of realization appeared in Acheron's dull eyes.

"Annihilation Gang…"

"Who are they?"

This sentence.

Paired with Acheron's innocent expression.

Left everyone present dumbfounded!

?????

For a moment.

It seemed as if a giant question mark appeared on everyone's face!

"Huh?"

"Wait, you…"

"This is too much, way too much!"

"Killing someone and then rubbing salt in the wound!"

"Poor Duke Inferno…"

Everyone present couldn't help but express their astonishment.

Even if it was just for show, they had to put on an act.

After all, this was a public setting.

Whoever laughed first.

Would undoubtedly become the target of everyone's ire.

However.

Compared to the offline players.

The online players watching this video had no such reservations.

They immediately started sending live comments!

...

"Duke Inferno: 6"

"Acheron is really going too far! In the last update, the Duke was so formidable, declaring war on all Paths! But not only did you kill him and take his invitation, you even forgot his name! Who can he complain to?"

"The biggest injustice of this Amber Era—the case of the Duke of the Eternal Flame Manor."

"The Duke really wasn't loyal, dying quietly without even saying a word."

"I was still feeling a bit uneasy, but then I glanced at the comments and burst out laughing..."

"Kids, this isn't funny."

"In that scene, Duke Inferno was literally chopped into pieces... Acheron, you really did a number on him!"

"Just to add another Relic to the game, she really went all out!"

"Sigh, now my dear Duke has become a complete clown..."

"But Duke, it really is hilarious."

...

The video was nearing its end.

The atmosphere turned dark once again.

At the end of the street stood Acheron.

Her shadow stretched long across the ground, resembling a towering tombstone.

Black Swan's voiceover began: "I've been watching her for a long time."

"Tonight is the final invitation."

Her tone, which had been confident and cheerful at the start, now carried a weight of seriousness and unease.

There was even a faint tremor in her voice.

"Galaxy Rangers..."

"No."

"I've made a fatal mistake."

"Everyone has a past."

"But some people's pasts..."

"Are silent, deep oceans."

"Filled with the corpses of the drowned."

As Black Swan finished speaking, the end of the street was bathed in a blood-red glow.

It was blindingly intense!

In the sky, bodies dangled from thick red threads, plummeting downward.

...

"My God! Did Acheron kill all these people?"

"This is terrifying..."

"This is absolutely insane, it's like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"

"What exactly did Acheron go through in her past..."

"I still prefer Black Swan's defiant attitude at the beginning of the video."

"'So I took action.'"

"Is it too late for me to escape from Penacony now? Is this sister here to kill people as a sacrifice?"

"Surely not? She wouldn't just go on a killing spree without being provoked, right?"

"Don't worry, the family has already sent the Bloodhounds to capture this stowaway."

"Damn it! I was just a little worried, but now I really need to get out of here!"

.

"Unless the family can bring Xipe here, I can't stay in Penacony for even a second longer!"

"My heart aches for Little Gui. She still has to stay in the hotel for at least another week."

...

Inside the hotel's live broadcast room.

Guinaifen looked on the verge of tears.

"Folks, I'm afraid Little Gui might end up being cannon fodder this time."

"I just opened the door to take a peek."

"There are several Bloodhound squads still patrolling the hallway!"

"Oh dear~ I beg you all, please don't provoke her!"

"Right now, I even have this feeling that the hotel might explode at any moment, and Little Gui would be blown straight into the sky…"

"Wait, the plot!"

"I need to hurry through the plot to see what happens next!"

"Even if I die, let me die knowing the truth, wuwuwuwu…"
