Herta's Office.
The Herta puppet here was in the middle of a remote communication.
In front of her was a projection of a mechanical noble—Screwllum.
Herta seemed a bit impatient: "Alright, that's all I have to say. Hurry up and find some time to come over. We need to discuss the new [Simulated Universe] project in person."
"Also, that little hacker girl you've faced before is here too."
"We haven't settled the score with her for stealing the Stellaron last time. This time, we need to teach her a lesson."
Screwllum, however, asked, "Herta, how are you so sure Silver Wolf is in your space station?"
After all, Silver Wolf was an old rival of his, and he was very familiar with the little hacker's methods.
Generally speaking.
When Silver Wolf's traces were discovered, it usually meant she had already achieved her goal.
"Isn't it obvious? I had someone from the cybersecurity department track Silver Wolf's movements, but they were completely fooled."
"How could Silver Wolf not take the opportunity to infiltrate the space station and search for the Curio she wants?"
Screwllum gently tapped his head.
He sighed, "A conclusion drawn from the emotional tendencies of organic lifeforms. Alright, I'll be there on time."
After ending the communication.
Herta sent a message to the space station about Screwllum's upcoming visit, then went back to her own work.
As for how the space station would handle this information, she didn't care at all.
So, she had no idea that today, the entire space station had put aside their work to focus on a game called Honkai: Star Rail.
Herta Space Station.
Including Asta, some of the management had received Herta's message.
Normally, they would have been in a panic to prepare, but today, they all ignored the message.
Some were watching Xiao Guizi's story livestream and Asta's gacha pulls.
Others were playing Honkai: Star Rail themselves.
All of them were deeply immersed, completely captivated!
After all, even the Station Manager was busy pulling gacha.
Who had time to deal with messages from others!
[Battle Ended]
Xiao Guizi's Livestream.
Just as everyone thought the Doomsday Beast had been defeated, something unexpected happened!
A bright light suddenly burst from its head, like a timed bomb, and it lifted itself up.
A destructive beam shot out.
And the unfortunate target was the exhausted March 7th below.
"March!"
Her companions shouted.
But it was clearly too late.
March was stunned, instinctively raising her hands to shield herself.
At that moment.
A figure suddenly stepped in front of March 7th.
It was none other than our protagonist, the Trailblazer!
...
[Chat]
"Holy crap, the protagonist is so brave!"
"Is this love?"
"The MC is so cool!"
"Did this happen in real life too? If I were March, I'd marry them on the spot!"
...
The Doomsday Beast's destructive beam hit Star's body.
Stelle spread her arms, using her body to block the torrent of energy.
After all, she was the game's protagonist, and Stelle was still alive and well.
Though everyone was a bit worried, they knew deep down.
Everything would be fine…
Sure enough.
The next moment.
Stelle appeared in a special space.
Above her.
It was as if the sky had been torn open, revealing a massive wound.
Golden, lava-like streams flowed down from it.
Stelle was falling endlessly, as if into a bottomless abyss.
A ethereal voice whispered, "It's time to set off."
If the scene of blocking the ultimate was touching and thrilling, this scene was downright spine-chilling and jaw-dropping.
Weren't we just fighting?
Why did the scene suddenly change?
Outside the crowd.
Silver Wolf was caught in a dilemma.
On one hand, the game's story had taken a major turn. It seemed that the vessel she had personally printed—Stelle—had undergone a crucial transformation at the last moment!
On the other hand, a new 5-star character had appeared, and it might be Kafka or herself.
After thinking for two seconds.
Silver Wolf quickly used Aether to create an anti-gravity device.
And flew toward the livestream screen!
Characters were just part of the game. She had already downloaded the game and would eventually pull them herself when she played!
But the story's impact was different!
This developer was extraordinary!
They had designed the characters' ultimates and abilities with such accuracy.
And they knew all about the Doomsday Beast's abilities.
All signs pointed to the fact that this developer was no ordinary person!
Perhaps there were important clues hidden in the game.
As a Stellaron Hunter, her duty told her.
—She had to grasp this information as soon as possible!
Silver Wolf flew into the air.
Hovering above the crowd, she secured the best viewing spot.
Because everyone else was also captivated by this scene, they had crowded closer, almost surrounding the large screen.
From behind, she could only see a sea of heads.
At this moment.
The camera slowly zoomed out.
The golden tear in the sky wasn't the sky at all—it was a wound on someone's chest!
To be more precise.
It wasn't a person.
But a god!
An Aeon!
The Aeon of Destruction, Nanook!
To be continued…
