The next day, at nine o'clock sharp, the video began to play again. Audiences from the three worlds were excited, eagerly anticipating the events of Steve's third life.
This time, Steve's life was set in the world of Kamen Rider Decade, a universe brimming with heroes and chaos. The anticipation was palpable, as Decade is a figure similar to Sougo, a Kamen Rider who possesses the power of multiple Kamen Riders. It promised to be an exciting journey.
As the video played, subtitles appeared on the screen:
[Steve's Third Life: Decade] [World: Kamen Rider Decade] [Key Quotes: "I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by; remember it." "I roughly understand."]
More text followed, which electrified the audience:
[Several characters from the three worlds have past lives intersecting with Steve's!] [Otto's past life: Kaito Daiki] [Kiana's past life: Natsumi Tachibana] [Kaguya Manye's past life: Onodera Yusuke]
This revelation sent ripples of excitement through the three worlds.
"Oh, it's Otto, Kiana, and Kaguya Manye!" "They're going to be famous! I wish I could have this chance; I'm so envious!" "Two people from the Honkai Impact 3rd world and only one from Genshin Impact this time! Amazing!" "Yes, even the goddess Kiana made it. I'm so thrilled!" "Otto, though? I didn't expect him!"
Southern Cross Fleet - Inazuma
Kaedehara Manye, a handsome young man with white hair dressed in a gray samurai suit, watched the screen intently. He was surprised and elated to see his name associated with Steve's past life.
A beautiful woman with red eyes and wearing a cheongsam approached him, smiling.
"Kaedehara Manye, congratulations! You're going to be famous! This is great for our Southern Cross Fleet."
Kaedehara Manye humbly responded, "Thank you, Captain Beidou. I was just lucky!"
Beidou laughed, "Those who appear on such a screen are never just lucky; you must have strength!"
Honkai Impact 3rd World
In the Honkai world, Kiana, a beautiful girl with white hair and blue eyes, was ecstatic as she looked at the screen.
"Ah! I finally appeared in Steve's past life!" she exclaimed, overjoyed.
Beside her, Raiden Mei, with her purple hair, smiled. "I told you that you'd appear in this life, and I was right!"
Blushing with excitement, Kiana said, "Thank you, Mei! I'm so happy! It's been my dream to appear in Steve's past life, and it's finally come true!"
Mei replied, "It's unfortunate we're not in the Genshin Impact world, or I'd visit Steve myself!"
Kiana nodded in agreement. "He's so strong and lives such a remarkable life. Truly a son of destiny! He's my idol."
Destiny Organization
Otto, the leader of the Destiny Organization, also stared at his name on the screen. He clenched his fists in excitement.
"It actually happened! I'm in Steve's past life!" he thought. Otto admired Steve for living such extraordinary lives. Secretly, he hoped his connection to Steve would improve his own reputation and strengthen his organization's influence.
"Congratulations, Bishop!" his subordinates cheered. "This will boost the Destiny Organization's popularity! Many will join us now."
Otto smiled subtly, but his focus remained on the screen, eager to learn more about his past life.
Super Chat Group
In the Super Chat Group, excitement overflowed:
Funina: "Wow, congrats to Kiana, Otto, and Kaedehara Manye for appearing in Steve's past life!"
Amber: "Haha, our group is full of talent! So proud!"
Keqing: "I'm so envious! Maybe I'll make it in the next life."
Kiana: "Thank you, everyone! I'm so happy!"
As the video progressed, the scene shifted to a war-torn battlefield. A beautiful woman in a white dress, identified as Xia Haiju (Kiana's past life), appeared, surveying her surroundings. Suddenly, a shell exploded near her, igniting a massive fire and filling the air with smoke.
The audience collectively gasped. "This is intense! What a grand scene!"
A knight on a motorcycle entered the frame, followed by a massive mecha and several soldiers in armor. Explosions erupted everywhere, and terrifying flying monsters filled the sky.
Kiana nervously muttered, "I hope I don't die as soon as I appear! That would be such a waste!"
Amid the chaos, a Kamen Rider descended from the sky. Xia Haiju's sharp gaze fixed on him as she whispered, "Decade!"
The audience erupted:
"What? The protagonist is the villain this time?" "This is unexpected; I'm intrigued!"
The scene abruptly shifted, revealing that the entire sequence was a dream. Xia Haiju woke up in her bed, wiping tears from her eyes. "Why do I cry every time I have this dream?" she murmured.
The revelation left viewers stunned:
"A dream? I thought this was real!" "Even as a dream, it's fascinating. There must be deeper meaning."
The Story Continues
The narrative moved to a photo studio where a tall, handsome young man in a black trench coat was revealed as Steve's past life, Kazushi Kadoya. He was taking photos, but they were blurry and distorted. Customers were outraged, and Natsumi Tachibana (Kiana's past life) chastised him, using her family's "Laughing Finger Zen" technique to make him laugh uncontrollably.
Kazushi explained his peculiar photography: "I want to capture my world, but the world resists being photographed. It deliberately distorts itself."
The audience was intrigued:
"The world refusing to be photographed? Fascinating!" "Steve's third life seems deeper than we imagined."
Suddenly, a strange wind blew through the city, and a towering building turned into particles of light before disappearing. The video ended on this suspenseful note, leaving the audience eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Final Thoughts in the Chat Group
Funina: "This life is full of mysteries. I can't wait to see more!"
Kiana: "I'm relieved it was just a dream at the start. I can't wait to learn more about my past life!"
Otto: "Steve's character in this life is fascinating. A blend of good and evil, perhaps?"
The buzz in the three worlds showed no signs of dying down as everyone eagerly anticipated the next chapter in Steve's extraordinary journey.
