Honkai Star Rail: Developing Mobile Games on Xianzhou

"Ladies and gentlemen, now..."

"I'll temporarily take control here."

"What follows is..."

"The complete version of this footage I will present to you all~"

On every live stream screen,

the host of Interstellar Peace Live Stream vanished, replaced by Kafka with a smiling expression.

At various locations across the universe,

players were ecstatically buzzing. "?! Incredible!"

Nobody could have anticipated witnessing such a monumental event!

"Ohhhhh!!!!!!!!!"

"Absolutely amazing!!!!"

"This is beyond thrilling!"

"Infiltrating the headquarters of Interastral Peace's live broadcast? I wouldn't have dared to dream of seeing this!"

"Yes, yes, truly worthy of Mama!!"

As the video resumed playing,

all the bustling scenes gradually quietened down.

Everyone eagerly awaited the true aftermath of the Trial unfolding on Yepeira Star!

The initial content remained largely consistent.

However, towards the end,

after the Judge announced "[A total of 46 criminal charges]," the footage did not conclude there! There was more clear continuation!

"Do you acknowledge that all these malicious incidents were perpetrated by the [Stellaron Hunters]?"

Kafka, seated in the chair, let out a cold smile.

She responded, "As far as I know, many of these incidents involve the [Annihilation Gang]."

"But... I admit..."

"However, it seems like you missed one."

"The Yepeira Rebellion Case."

After Kafka's statement,

red threads slowly emerged.

The four Judges appeared trapped like prey caught in a spider's web.

At that moment,

Kafka voluntarily helped them release the binding threads.

Instantly, the four Judges seemed to awaken from a dream, utterly bewildered!

Some covered their foreheads, while others stared incredulously at their hands.

"It's a Vocal Charm!"

"So Kama had been controlling these humanoid creatures with her Vocal Charm all along!"

"A complete reversal!"

"Everything is under Kama's control!"

"Just as I said, how could these deer and tiger spirits ever capture my Kafka mom!"

The scene shifted.

In the new footage, Kafka discarded the handcuffs and donned a tailored suit with suspenders. Adjusting his collar slightly, he stood atop a rooftop.

Below him lay a city engulfed in flames.

Yepeira Star's armed forces approached, encircling the area with their war vehicles.

Suddenly, from amidst the ruins nearby, emerged a towering mecha.

A flickering four-pointed star blazed across its chest.

"You should break the habit of playing with your prey, Kafka."

Kafka smiled charmingly. "Understood, but maybe next time."

"This time..."

"It's already too late."

Behind them, two more figures emerged from the fading sunset glow.

Blade, clad in a suit, dusted off his fedora hat.

Silver Wolf blew away smoke from the barrel of his revolver, then looked directly at the camera with a meaningful grin.

Nearby, the silhouette of a black cat briefly flashed past.

This...

This is the complete Yepeira Trial process!

"This time they're all appearing together—wow, it's my first time seeing Sam!"

"Will that mecha be added to the card pool? It's every man's fantasy!"

"They're all so stylish!?"

"I feel like they could debut as a group!"

"The Stellaron Hunters just keep getting handsomer!"

"This footage is completely different from what the company released!"

"Not just different—it's entirely another story!"

"You know how corporate promotions can be, right?"

"At first, I really thought Kama was caught off guard by the Annihilation Gang, but turns out she was merely playing with her prey."

"All I can say is, well done, Kama!"

At this moment,

the live stream cut back to the studio, where Kafka had already taken her seat at the host's position.

Around her, some ashes gently drifted down.

Yet, she seemed utterly unfazed.

The caption scrolling below read—

[Kafka has always been on the run, never daring to openly challenge the company]

forming a stark contrast with the content of the stream!

Indeed, she had never dared to openly defy the company...

They directly confronted the company head-on!

By crashing the stream and taking over themselves!

Kafka pulled the microphone closer to her face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's showtime."

With a gentle swipe of her hand,

a new video appeared on the screen:

[Honkai: Star Rail - Kafka Character PV: "Dramatic Irony"]

"Let's watch this together," she said. "I'm quite excited myself~"

The crowd in the public square was stunned!

This time, Kafka herself would be watching the character PV with them?!

After a brief moment of shock, the scene erupted with waves of astonished exclamations!

"What kind of day is today?!"

"The Stellar Jade players are having their grand celebration!"

"This must be for entertainment effect, right? Someone definitely created this just for fun!"

"Ka-ka's bounty from the company will skyrocket again now."

"The company really messed up this time—can't blame us after they slandered our mom first!"

"I'm tearing up! Ka-ka remains so caring, seizing control of the studio just to watch the PV with us!"

In Exalting Sanctum Square,

all screens purchased by the company began playing the character PV titled "Dramatic Irony."

Every display around showcased the same footage.

Both players and bystanders alike were stunned by this spectacle!

At the center of it all, on the massive screen,

the players had meticulously prepared beforehand.

Their plan from start to finish was to showcase videos related to Honkai: Star Rail.

In that moment,

the video began.

The crowd fell silent, eager to witness just how impactful this trailer would be!

What kind of performance would Feathered Spirit orchestrate for Kafka?

Already, the scene was incredibly striking.

And there was potential for even more astonishment!

"Attention all units! Target spotted! Target spotted!"

"Do not rely on luck!"

"I repeat, do not rely on luck!"

"On contact, eliminate immediately!"

On the screen, a group of Interastral Peace Corporation security personnel stood ready.

Hearing the urgent alert, each one entered a state of high vigilance, their guns trained towards the corridor's end.

Around the corner,

a hand holding a coin gently scraped along the wall.

Its owner moved unhurriedly, as if strolling like an invited guest.

Quick flashes revealed patterns reminiscent of spiders, butterflies, eyes, and whirlpools.

As Kafka approached the security personnel,

she tossed the coin forward.

Instantaneously, it transformed into a delicate petal.

"Don't be afraid."

"Listen to me."

"The one who invited me..."

"...is it you?"

Kafka approached step by step.

Yet, as if under a spell, the security personnel hesitated despite their guns trained on Kafka, unable to fire!

Kafka crossed their arms, purple threads emerging from each finger. Their pupils instantly glowed with a vibrant violet light!

With a swift downward motion...

The threads unraveled like a spider's web, accompanied by an intense violin crescendo.

The scene briefly froze.

[Kafka]

[Bounty Amount: 10,899,000,000]

(Wowza) "Holy shit, this BGM is insane!"

"My favorite episode ever!"

"This style perfectly suits Kafka!"

"Over ten billion! The bounty will surely rise again after this incident!"

"Not just any character PV—this clearly depicts Kafka infiltrating the studio live!"

"Both Feathered Spirit and Ka-ka are giving the company a hard slap in the face!"

In the flashback, all employees were ensnared within a web of purple lines.

As the violin accompaniment played in the background, Kafka effortlessly navigated through the crowd.

The company employees seemed to have lost their minds, engaging in internecine conflict against each other.

Instead of flames, the gun muzzles spewed out cascades of vivid red petals amidst this dramatically beautiful scene.

As Kafka reached the end of the corridor,

with a wave of her right hand, as if concluding a performance,

all the employees collapsed simultaneously.

"Elegant! Absolutely mesmerizing!"

"I'd believe it's live footage from Feathered Spirit!"

"Even more captivating than I imagined!"

"This damned violent aesthetic is intoxicating!"

"Oh no! Now I also want to become a Stellaron Hunter!"

"Ka-ka! Take me with you!"
