Chapter 20: Silver Wolf’s Perfect Play—Wait, Kafka and I Are Playable Characters?!

A Mysterious Message in the Livestream

— “Who is this big-shot?!”

— “Is this some kind of VIP-exclusive text? I’ve never seen this font before!”

— “I’ve watched streams for ten years, and this is my first time seeing it!”

— “Didn’t we just see Himeko’s ultimate? Is this person new?”

Little Gui also noticed the special glowing message in the chat.

She licked her lips, then turned to the camera and asked—

“Really?”

“Himeko’s energy is almost full. She should be able to use her ultimate next turn.”

Then—

The blue-purple text appeared again.

— “Give Himeko another shield with March 7th.”

March 7th had just recovered from being immobilized.

Little Gui had planned to shield herself, since both she and the Trailblazer were completely unprotected—

And all three of them were low on HP.

Whoever got the shield would have the highest chance of survival.

After a moment of hesitation, she decided to trust the message.

Himeko received the shield.

A Game-Changing Move

The enemy’s turn arrived.

[Antimatter Engine] launched a powerful single-target attack.

Its target?

Himeko—the one with the shield.

The attack shattered the barrier, leaving only a sliver of protection.

Had she not reinforced Himeko’s shield, she would’ve been one-shot.

And—

Thanks to this attack, Himeko’s energy bar maxed out.

Little Gui’s eyes lit up.

“Finally! It’s time to teach this Doomsday Beast a lesson with Himeko’s [Heavenly Blaze]!”

Just as she was about to activate the ultimate—

A new blue message appeared.

— “Don’t use it yet. Wait until the Left Hand’s weakness recovers.”

Little Gui hesitated.

“Why not?”

Wouldn’t it be better to use an ultimate immediately?

If the Doomsday Beast’s next move was a group attack, wouldn’t Himeko’s energy be wasted if it overflowed?

Before she could decide, the Doomsday Beast took its turn.

Instead of attacking, it raised its freshly recovered arms, channeling energy into the Antimatter Engine—

Preparing a massive charge attack.

The livestream chat exploded—

— “666666! This guy is a genius!”

— “Himeko’s ultimate can destroy both hands right after their weaknesses return!”

— “Damn! Big-brain move!”

— “Are you sure this person is new? I’ve watched so many fights, and I never noticed this pattern!”

Himeko’s Ultimate Turns the Tide

“I suppose… you still don’t understand.”

Himeko sat calmly, sipping coffee as she gazed at the stars.

“Humanity has never hidden its desire to control the cosmos… and neither have I.”

From orbit, a massive orbital cannon fired down.

The Doomsday Beast was engulfed in a towering inferno.

All three weak points were instantly broken.

“You can’t escape!”

Himeko triggered her passive, launching a follow-up attack—

Her briefcase flew forward, and a monomolecular saw emerged, carving blazing streaks across the enemy.

The Doomsday Beast entered phase two, but its action bar was pushed back.

And Himeko?

Her turn had only just begun.

A Stunning Display of Strategy

The battle was now completely reversed.

It was time for a full-scale counterattack!

— “Oh my god! Was this all part of the plan?!”

— “This is how you really play the game!”

— “This person’s game sense is insane!”

— “If I had even half this understanding, I wouldn’t even need five-star characters!”

Silver Wolf’s Hidden Mastery

Silver Wolf, watching the comments flood in, felt her cheeks heat up.

In truth—

She had only noticed one thing during the fight:

Enemies seemed to target whoever had March 7th’s shield more often.

She wasn’t sure if it was a hidden mechanic or an unlisted taunt effect.

So—

Her goal had simply been to make sure Himeko got attacked, letting her generate energy faster.

But the rest?

Himeko’s ultimate breaking all three weaknesses at once?

Triggering a bonus attack?

Completely reversing the battle?

That hadn’t been part of her plan at all.

She had just assumed Himeko’s ultimate was strong—

But she never expected it to be that powerful.

Not only was it visually spectacular, but for an enemy with all fire-weakness parts, it was devastating.

Silver Wolf had only been watching this game for a short while.

She didn’t fully understand all the mechanics and abilities yet.

But after this fight—

She finally grasped the essence of this game.

She couldn’t wait any longer.

“So only Himeko is a five-star? Everyone else is a four-star?”

“Fine. I’m pulling for Himeko too!”

A New Obsession—Forget the Curio, I Need This Game

On the livestream, the Doomsday Beast lay defeated—

Its three weak points shattered, leaving it completely vulnerable.

The space station staff erupted into cheers.

The chat flooded with—

— “Big-shot, you’re amazing!”

— “Teach me, master!”

Silver Wolf grinned, then silently stepped away.

She had no interest in fame.

Instead, she pulled up a holographic interface, remotely activated her phone, and—

Started downloading Honkai: Star Rail.

Forget [Punklorde Mentality]—

This game looked way more fun.

“A turn-based game, huh? I’ve been a fan of those for ten years.”

“I will master this.”

[Download Progress: 100%]

She launched the game, her gamer instincts fully ignited.

A Shocking Revelation—Silver Wolf and Kafka Are Playable?!

Suddenly—

A voice shouted nearby.

“Asta’s pity pull got another five-star! But it’s not Himeko or Welt!”

“Wait, what?! A new character?!”

“It’s not someone from the Astral Express—it’s a brand new female character!

“No way… Did she just pull Kafka or Silver Wolf?!”

Silver Wolf’s finger froze mid-tap.

Her ears perked up.

Did I just hear what I think I heard?

Kafka?

Silver Wolf?

No way.

There was no way…

Did they seriously make her and Kafka into playable characters?!

She gritted her teeth.

“Developer… you’ve got some serious guts!”
