A Memokeeper.
In such a bizarre environment, actually starting a live stream?
This felt somewhat out of place to Acheron.
One could only say that the emergence of Honkai: Star Rail has changed too much.
Making live streaming a mainstream medium.
After the live stream started.
Black Swan adjusted her hair.
She tilted her chin slightly toward the camera.
It seems,
as long as it's a woman,
she would still care about her public image to some extent.
At the same time.
Inside the Interastral Peace Corporation.
The department responsible for managing live streams suddenly received a signal transmitted from Penacony!
In an instant,
all the staff in the company looked at the screen in disbelief!
"Oh my!"
"What's going on? What's happening?"
"Didn't Penacony fall completely?"
"Who could possibly start a live stream under the influence of Ena's Dream!?"
"This can't be a system bug, right?"
Soon.
The live stream appeared before everyone!
A delicate yet familiar face.
It was as if she was looking through the screen at all the staff in the department!
Everyone was stunned at first.
Then, they all showed expressions of disbelief!
"Black Swan!?"
"So it's her! I knew only she could pull this off..."
"She's the one who can prophesy the Aeons, after all!"
"Wow! I'm seeing my idol, Black Swan!"
"Makes sense! A Memokeeper could indeed do this..."
In front of the control panel.
The person in charge was so excited that their hands were trembling.
"What are you all standing around for?"
"Do you still have time to marvel and sigh?"
"Hurry up and boost the frequency!"
"Promote this live stream with all your might!"
"This is another huge wave of traffic for our live streaming industry!"
"Wait, no!"
"We're doing this for the future of Penacony!"
"Assist Miss Black Swan with her live stream at full capacity!"
In an instant.
Everyone received the order.
They quickly and enthusiastically returned to their work!
Black Swan's live stream.
It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the ripples rapidly spreading across the cosmic galaxy!
From a dozen people to thousands.
Ten thousand...
Then, it was as if a volcano had suddenly erupted!
The number of viewers skyrocketed by the millions!
Soon, it could only be measured in "billions."
And the live stream was quickly flooded with comments from the viewers!
...
"????"
"Is this for real!?"
"Let me see!"
"Oh my, it's exactly like her!"
"The slight curve of her lips, the gentle and bright gaze... You're even more like Black Swan than Black Swan herself!"
"Idiot! Didn't you see the title of the stream? This isn't a cosplay! It's Black Swan herself live streaming!"
"Ahhhhhh..."
"Miss Black Swan!!!"
"A once-in-a-lifetime encounter!"
"Even the Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection are live streaming now, the world really has changed."
"Feels a bit unreal."
"I've lived a life of virtue, so stumbling upon this stream is only natural!"
...
Black Swan noticed the sudden surge in viewers in her live stream.
She was slightly surprised.
But she quickly realized that this was likely the result of the live streaming department working behind the scenes.
They probably saw her as the second rising star in live streaming, similar to Little Gui.
This situation was within her expectations.
Seeing that the number of viewers had almost reached its peak, Black Swan waved at the camera.
"Hello, players from all corners of the galaxy~"
"I am Black Swan, a Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection."
"I believe you've already gotten to know me well through Honkai: Star Rail, so I won't spend too much time introducing myself."
"Before I explain the reason for starting this live stream, I'd like to tell you all something—"
"Right now, I am in Penacony, within the Asdana Star System."
As soon as she said this, the live chat exploded!
...
"Black Swan, what are you up to?!"
"Wait, I just checked the location on the homepage, and it's true!"
"How is this possible? Didn't Black Swan fall into Ena's Dreamscape?"
"In the latest game storyline, Black Swan has already awakened. She must have her own means in reality."
"Incredible!"
"I never expected Black Swan to be able to start a live stream in Penacony."
"Sis, can you show us what Penacony looks like right now?"
...
Black Swan nodded slightly.
"By the way, there's another friend here with me."
"Miss Acheron, why don't you say hello to everyone?"
Behind her, Acheron stood with her arms crossed.
Her expression was somewhat indifferent, yet also a little helpless.
After all, she was a Self-Annihilator.
The one who had walked the farthest on the Path of Nihility!
In the past, if she left a deep impression on someone, that person was most likely doomed…
Take Duke Inferno, for example…
Acheron had always walked on the fringes and in the shadows of the mortal world.
Yet today, she was about to be exposed to the gaze of the entire universe.
This was truly…
a complete reversal.
Not just Acheron.
Even the Slumbering Formless One would probably feel helpless in this situation.
However, Acheron quickly thought of something.
Perhaps, this could also be a way to resist Nihility.
She forced a smile, tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Hello, everyone."
"I am Acheron."
Though her expression was stiff and her tone icy, it instantly ignited the enthusiasm of all the viewers in the livestream!
"!!!"
"Oh my goodness!"
"Black Swan has such a grand vision! She actually brought Acheron along to livestream with us!"
"Does anyone understand?! I was just watching the game storyline at Little Gui's place, and the two Nihility powerhouses started to shine... and the next moment, I stumbled into Black Swan's livestream and saw them in person!"
"I can't tell the difference between the game and reality anymore!"
"Ahhh! Miss Acheron actually smiled at me!"
"Holy cow! A spectacle I've never seen in the game, and now I'm witnessing it in real life..."
"Wuwu... she has me in her heart!"
"Miss Acheron! Say no more, I'm topping up for a six-star Eidolon right now!"
"All hail the Acheron Sect!"
...
For a moment, gifts and donations poured in endlessly.
However, Black Swan hadn't started the livestream for fame or profit.
Such external things meant nothing to her.
With a flick of her hand, she directly disabled the donation feature.
The two of them walked leisurely down the corridor.
Soon.
A few figures appeared in the camera's view.
Black Swan adjusted the lens, allowing everyone in the livestream to see the detailed features of these figures.
To be precise...
These weren't just figures!
They were players currently trapped in the Dreamscape!
"Let's take this unfortunate player as an example..."
"Her expression, though seemingly content."
"Those with sharp eyes among you can clearly see..."
"This expression is unmistakably forced, twisted by some external power."
"Can happiness defined by others truly be called happiness?"
...
"Good heavens!"
"That's terrifying!"
"I thought these were just figures, but they're actually players trapped in Ena's Dream!"
"Wuwu... this poor girl..."
"Thank goodness I didn't choose to stay in Penacony."
"That smile is so eerie."
"Staying in reality is so much better—I can still watch Black Swan and Little Gui's livestreams!"
"Right now, I've got Little Gui in my left hand and Black Swan in my right—this is true happiness!"
"Let's just say we reality enjoyers have already won big!"
...
At the Astral Express Crew.
Everyone was keeping a close eye on the situation in Penacony.
Naturally, they were among the first to receive Black Swan's livestream.
At this moment.
As they watched the scenes on the screen.
A sense of unease settled in everyone's hearts!
March 7th pursed her lips and sighed, "How pitiful..."
"These players should have been discussing the game's storyline with us online..."
"But now they're trapped in the Dreamscape, unable to wake up forever."
"I think we need to help these players!"
Himeko nodded solemnly, "This is our responsibility."
"As the Astral Express, now a focal point in the galaxy, we must save these struggling comrades!"
"Just like in the game's storyline."
"The future of Penacony does not belong to Order."
Stelle picked up a souvenir hat she had bought on the Luofu.
Pretending it was Mikhail's memento, she placed it on her head!
"Wake up from the Dream!"
"Let's play our own melody!"
