Serlin immediately ran to the train window and was left stunned by the sight of the space station outside.
How could an ordinary Earth OL player have ever seen such a megastructure?!
To Serlin, this was a building that only existed in science fiction novels.
The real Herta Space Station was far more magnificent than it appeared in the game.
But such a megastructure floating in the sea of stars was now unexpectedly engulfed in the flames of war.
The sudden attack by the Antimatter Legion had shattered the peace of this research institution.
Himeko took a sip of her coffee and sighed with relief, saying, “It seems the situation is far less serious than I thought.” “After all, it is Ms.
Herta’s space station.” Dan Heng’s tone remained as flat as ever.
If the geniuses’ territory were so easily breached, they wouldn’t be called geniuses.
“Hehe, Himeko, Uncle Yang…
next, it’s this young lady’s turn to show off her skills!” March 7th summoned her bow and arrow, her tone full of excitement, not forgetting to say to Serlin, who had transformed into Sparkle: “Serlin, don’t worry.
This young lady and Dan Heng will protect you!” Serlin immediately equipped the ‘Fictional Game’ skin for herself.
Being a honkai impact 3rd character, she had to at least have some of that game’s unique flair.
“Don’t worry!
Although Sparkle’s stats aren’t considered very high in the galaxy, they’re more than enough to handle these Void Rangers!” Serlin held a small pistol in her hand, and she had countless Sparkle Doll bombs on her—the kind that would let Sparkle press the button for three days and three nights.
Serlin was also eager to try, as in a sense, this was her first real battle.
The time she elbowed the Astral Express didn’t count!
“Dear passengers, please be very careful, pa.” The Conductor also worriedly saw the passengers off.
The moment the door opened, Dan Heng rushed out like a cloud-piercer released from a hand.
March 7th and Serlin, who was a beat slower, followed closely behind.
“Sigh, I hope everything goes smoothly.” Old Yang sighed helplessly.
“Have faith in the children.
Besides…
I’ll be following behind this time.” “It’s not that, it’s Serlin…
Sigh, how should I put it?
Fine, I really am a bit uneasy about that child.” …
On the other side, the Stellaron Hunters.
“Silver Wolf, Elio’s script has changed again.” “Huh?
What happened…
Don’t rush me, wait until I open the door.” Silver Wolf didn’t look up, her fingers constantly ‘elbowing’ the passwords Herta had set.
“Elio said…
another variable has appeared in the galaxy, and that variable has boarded the Astral Express.” “What, does it have a big impact on our script?” “Yes, and more than that…
their arrival brings new possibilities to the fate of the galaxy.” “A more miserable death, or a Path to tomorrow?” Kafka fell silent for a moment, seemingly unsure how to explain the information, but quickly clarified: “Elio saw several new futures—where everything in the universe sinks into the shadow of destiny.” “The galaxy falls into the sea, star systems disintegrate, and only the unsinkable ship of eternal recurrence can sail freely in that ocean.” “A new disaster is born from the very foundations of the universe, and the development of all civilizations must face its trial.
In this, the galaxy falls silent and civilizations collapse.” The bubblegum at Silver Wolf’s mouth wouldn’t pop.
She complained, dumbfounded: “…I’d call this trash game a shit-tier even if I read the walkthrough.
Why did they have to add power creep?” “Of course, that’s only the worst-case scenario.
The variable brings more than just that.” “In another future, the Path ahead will no longer be a challenge of certain death, but a smooth road filled with minor bumps.” “So?” Silver Wolf asked with her hands on her hips.
“How should the next script go?” “The new script has been written, but she…
is still the protagonist who sets off because of the galaxy’s wish.” …
“Everything can be blown up~” The space station’s self-defense forces were not to be underestimated, and the remaining Void Rangers in the cabin were no match for the trio.
Especially for Serlin; she was starting to feel like the stats on Sparkle’s bomb dolls were a bit too high.
It felt like she was causing more destruction than the Legion.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect you to be so capable in battle!” March 7th turned around to praise her after taking down several Void Rangers with her arrows.
“Hmph, did these mere Void Rangers really think they could stump Director Sparkle?” Serlin proudly pulled out her small pistol and Kendama, though she still held a few Fool’s Cards in her hand.
If she really couldn’t win, she could at least unleash the super firepower that had once insta-killed a Star-Crosser; three mechs might be able to tussle with a Doomsday Beast.
“We need to find Lead Researcher Asta as soon as possible.
Let’s finish this quickly!” …
After exchanging information with Asta and introducing the new member, the trio set off again.
“Ah, look, there seems to be someone ahead!” March pointed toward a corner.
Dan Heng and Serlin instinctively looked over to see a grey-haired girl.
“The Little Gray Hair~ has she finally appeared?” Serlin’s eyes darted around as an idea instantly formed.
She immediately transformed into Caelus and approached Stelle alongside Dan Heng.
“This person’s spatial coordinates were not sent from the space station.” Dan Heng frowned, sounding wary.
March 7th muttered anxiously, “What does that matter at a time like this?
This living person is right in front of us; could she be fake?” “Eh, why did you change your appearance again?
Are you…
her brother?” ‘Caelus’ nodded coolly.
He patted Stelle, who was playing ZZZ, and said, “Stelle, wake up, or your brother is going to empty out all the trash cans!” “Hey, what are you doing!” March pushed the mischievous Serlin aside.
At that moment, before Dan Heng could even begin the CPR he was preparing, the Little Gray Hair woke up on her own.
The awakened Stelle looked blankly at Dan Heng and March, then saw ‘Caelus’ being pushed aside.
“You are…” Serlin immediately grabbed Stelle’s hand and cried, “Sister!
Your big brother finally found you!
I remember when you were little, I raised you by scavenging trash cans.
How could you…” Stelle looked Serlin over carefully, then looked at herself and said: “Even though I have amnesia…
I’m certain I don’t have a brother.
And even if I did…
why can’t I be the older sister?” Dan Heng looked at Serlin in surprise and asked, “You know her?” Serlin, who had already changed back into Sparkle, spread her hands playfully.
“I don’t~ I just wanted to tease her~” “Hmph, I knew you were just bullying her.” “I just asked, and Stelle has also lost her memory; she only remembers her name.” March 7th was determined to get justice for Stelle, but Stelle was staring at Serlin’s Sparkle form in a state of shock, contemplation, action, and then…
kneeling.
“Teach me!
As long as you’re willing to teach me, I’ll do anything!” “?” A smooth sequence of moves caught Serlin off guard.
Was this right?
Was the Little Gray Hair at the space station always this unhinged?
Stelle hugged Serlin’s leg.
Serlin’s face turned beet red as she hurriedly explained: “Holy sh*t, this is my cheat, my hack, do you understand!
You can’t learn it!
Ah, no, just wait for Aha’s gaze!” “The transformation just now is my current body, a skill of the Masked Fools.
Want to learn?
Talk to me after you step onto the Path of Elation.” March 7th looked at Stelle, then at Serlin, and asked the pensive Dan Heng: “Dan Heng-laoshi, is our Astral Express Crew becoming a bit unhinged?” Dan Heng held his cloud-piercer and looked away, speechless.
“That’s just you guys.” “Let’s go.
Return to the Master Control Zone.
Lead Researcher Asta and the researchers are all waiting for us there.”
