Chapter 120

"Factions from all over the universe go to Penacony!"

"Then..."

"We, the Astral Express crew, can also enter openly to investigate, thereby finding our predecessors..."

Himeko continued to look at the live stream: "It seems..."

"The water here is very deep!"

"Inscrutable..."

"I originally thought the Corporation would do something to Penacony..."

"Now it seems..."

"Even The Family that controls Penacony now has its own thoughts and plans..."

"What is their purpose?"

Stelle asked: "Could it be related to the Stellaron?"

Himeko thought for a moment, then nodded: "I can't rule out this possibility..."

"In short, if we want to know what will happen..."

"And what will happen after we enter Penacony in the future..."

"We have to wait for the streamer to reveal it to us..."

March 7th looked at the live stream: "No problem..."

"We are super powerful!"

Stelle looked at the live stream: "Not just Mikhail, but also Tieernan and Lazarina..."

"Perhaps they were also placed under house arrest."

Hearing this, Himeko said helplessly: "If they were really just placed under house arrest..."

"That would still be considered good..."

"I'm worried..."

Welt said: "All we can do now is hope they are all okay..."

Punklorde...

Silver Wolf sighed helplessly upon hearing this: "Firefly's script..."

"Seems like it's also about to be spoiled..."

"Kafka, what do you say we should do next?"

Compared to Silver Wolf's somewhat nervous appearance...

Kafka spread her hands and said: "It doesn't matter..."

"Anyway, these are things Elio has to worry about. Let's just keep watching the streamer's narration..."

"It's all the future..."

"It's just that the streamer's future is clearer..."

"And maybe in the end, there is also a future for you and me..."

"Silver Wolf, aren't you curious?"

Silver Wolf's appearance was clearly full of curiosity, but she still said stubbornly: "What you enjoy in a game is the process..."

"If you know the ending of the game in advance..."

"The whole game will become very boring..."

"Do you understand this? Kafka..."

Kafka shook her head: "Sorry Silver Wolf..."

"You know I don't really like playing games!"

"But I am really curious..."

"Whether Elio can really complete the deal with me in the future..."

"So I prefer to watch the streamer's spoilers..."

Silver Wolf scoffed, then her body honestly continued to look at Bai Feng and Bronya in the live stream...

Looking at Bronya's appearance...

Silver Wolf fell into deep thought...

Herta Space Station...

Herta frowned again: "As expected..."

"This Family entrenched in Penacony also has its own plans..."

"Mikhail is the Watchmaker and was once a Nameless on the Astral Express!"

"And The Family seems to have been hiding this information..."

"If the streamer hadn't said it today..."

"Even I wouldn't know..."

Asta looked at Herta somewhat uncomprehendingly: "But Ms. Herta..."

"Why don't the people of The Family want to admit the existence of the Watchmaker and the relationship between the Watchmaker and the Astral Express..."

"Clearly this is not something shameful..."

Herta shook her head: "This has nothing to do with whether it is shameful or not..."

"The biggest problem is that once the Watchmaker's history and his identity are admitted..."

"That is indirectly admitting that at the beginning of Penacony's establishment, it had almost nothing to do with The Family..."

"This point can be used by the Corporation to make an issue at any time!"

"And there is a very important point of doubt. Compared to the Corporation and The Family, who do you think has a better relationship with the people of the Astral Express?"

"It must be the Corporation..."

Asta answered this question without thinking...

"Because the Corporation needs to conduct trade and some monetary transactions throughout the universe..."

"So the Corporation really needs the Silver Rails pioneered by the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili!"

"If I remember correctly, the Corporation's rapid development is also thanks to the Silver Rails pioneered by the Astral Express..."

"If it weren't for the pioneered Silver Rails spreading throughout the universe!"

"The Corporation wouldn't have developed to the extent of radiating the entire universe over these years..."

"I am still very clear about this..."

"In the Corporation, there are people who say this is a cooperation between the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili, and the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth..."

"That's just a rumor released by some people..."

"Akivili just did what the Aeon of Trailblaze should do, nothing more..."

"But with this layer of relationship, the whole universe will default to the ambiguous relationship between the Corporation and the Astral Express!"

"In this case, if The Family admits the identity and existence of the Watchmaker!"

"The Corporation has countless reasons to enter Penacony, and The Family has no way to deal with it..."

Asta understood: "So The Family denied the existence of the Watchmaker..."

Herta nodded: "But it's not that simple, perhaps there are many stories we don't know about..."

"It depends on what the streamer says next..."

"If The Family really doesn't want to admit the existence of the Watchmaker, then why is there an invitation from the Watchmaker issued in the name of The Family?"

Asta was also very smart and immediately thought of another possibility!

"This was issued by the Watchmaker Mikhail in the name of The Family!"

"In fact, The Family is unaware..."

"In other words, this invitation letter is a distress letter! It is not an invitation letter in the true sense..."

"Mikhail is in danger in Penacony!"

Herta nodded: "That is the only possibility..."

"Not just Mikhail, the other two Nameless are also..."

"I'm afraid they are all in bad shape..."

……

【Fu Xuan: I really didn't expect that the legendary tycoon, the Watchmaker, was actually Mikhail, a former Nameless...】

【Kafka: Yes... it is indeed a shocking identity!】

【Bronya: You all seem to know him?】

【Jing Yuan: There are too many stories and legends left by this Watchmaker...】

【Himeko: Yes, we didn't know at first either...】

……

War of Independence...

Mikhail...

The Watchmaker...

And Penacony where you can have sweet dreams...

All these things are further revealing the distribution of power in the Astral Express universe to the viewers of the Honkai world...

And a new faction name appeared in it—The Family!

In the live stream...

Bronya looked at the discussions of the viewers of the Astral Express universe in the bullet comments...

And also saw the frequently appearing Family and Corporation...

"Captain..."

"Is this faction called The Family a huge family in the Astral Express universe?"

"Like the existence of the Apocalypse family and the Kaslana family?"

Bronya looked at Bai Feng beside her curiously...

Because judging from the statements in the bullet comments, this faction called The Family seems to be very powerful...

So powerful that even the Interastral Peace Corporation is somewhat wary and dare not have a direct conflict...

What kind of family is it...

That can mix so well in the Astral Express universe, so Bronya is very curious!

Could it be an alternate version of the Kaslana family!

Also having some title of the strongest family or something...

But looking at the discussions in the bullet comments, it doesn't seem right, because the people of The Family seem to be quite despicable!

Hiding the story about the Watchmaker...

Also hiding a lot of information about Penacony!

Such behavior does not look like the Kaslana family, which has always been open and upright and only for protecting others...

Instead, it looks like...

The Apocalypse family!

But by the time Bronya is at, there is only one person left in the Apocalypse family...

And not an orthodox one, without the bloodline of the Apocalypse family...

Just surnamed Apocalypse...

Regarding Bronya's question, Bai Feng shook his head: "Not so, Bronya..."

"The Family in the Astral Express universe is not the same as the family you conventionally know."

"They are a huge family composed of countless unrelated individuals. The members of The Family might not know each other at first or have no relationship at all."

"And within The Family, it is subdivided into different lineages..."

"Thus forming The Family that you just saw the viewers of the Astral Express universe discussing in the bullet comments."

Hearing this explanation, Bronya became even more confused: "Some people who didn't know each other at first, and were even completely unrelated."

"Can form a huge family..."

Bronya even felt it was incredible!

In such a situation, how did these people form a family...

In the Honkai world, this situation is definitely a statement used by some cult organization to deceive people...

But clearly, this one in the Astral Express universe is not...

If it were a statement used by some cult organization to control people!

It would be impossible to develop to such a huge size...

"It's the Aeon!!!"

Bronya realized this point immediately.

Bai Feng looked at Bronya appreciatively: "You guessed right, Bronya."

"The people of The Family all believe in the same Aeon..."

"She is the Aeon of Harmony—Xipe!!!"

"This Aeon is slightly different from the Aeons we have seen before. The Path of Harmony she advocates requires the great harmony of all individual lives."

"The Family is a way of manifestation..."

"To fight against the ruthless laws of the universe, intelligent life needs to erase weak selfish desires and individual differences!"

"Merge into the same harmonious music—using the strong to help the weak, using death to protect life..."

Hearing such a proposition, Bronya couldn't help but say: "If the realm mentioned by the Aeon of Harmony, Xipe, can really be achieved..."

"There will be no more wars and struggles in the universe..."

"Now it seems that this Aeon of Harmony, Xipe, is more like a similar Aeon to the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth..."

"And completely different from the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, and the Aeon of Nihility, IX."

Bai Feng smiled: "Bronya, I want to make one thing clear to you here..."

"That is, there is no good or bad in a Path, the key depends on the Aeon of this Path and the actions of the people who step on the Path..."

"You will see many such examples in the future."

"For example, the War of Independence that I didn't explain in detail just now..."

"Undoubtedly, in this war, the people on Hanunu's side were the good side..."

"Many factions were helping them..."

"And among them, perhaps there were people on the Path of Destruction, who knows..."

Under Bai Feng's explanation, Bronya had a new understanding of the Path.

"Just like The Family in Penacony now..."

"Not necessarily good?"

Bai Feng laughed: "Not necessarily..."

"Let's continue to look at Mikhail's story..."

"Okay, Captain..."

Bai Feng also continued to tell the story...

"After Mikhail and the three of them chose to stay, besides wanting to help Hanunu build the Land of Dreams that everyone ideally wanted..."

"There was also a very important reason!"

"That is, although the War of Independence achieved victory, the Corporation did not give up the struggle, and continued to launch wars against Penacony again and again..."

"In any case, compared to the newly established Penacony, the Corporation's fleet was still too powerful!"

"Afterward, many major events broke out in the universe, such as the outbreak of the Stellaron disaster, which caused many planets on the Silver Rails to lose contact..."

"Including Penacony!"

"Penacony at this time was equivalent to an isolated island in the universe, surrounded!"

"Tieernan rushed out to seek help from the outside world for the victory of the war..."

"But he encountered the outbreak of the Swarm, was submerged by the Swarm in the universe, and his whereabouts were unknown. Later, he participated in another major event in the universe..."

"We will talk about this later!"

"After the Swarm, the Corporation's fleet made a comeback. Hanunu, who had been seriously injured in the previous war, infiltrated the Corporation's flagship and detonated a bomb!"

"Perishing together with the Corporation's fleet..."

"Lazarina had previously disappeared into the Memetic Void in order to study Memetic Substance and find a brand new development route for Penacony..."

"Thus, only one person was left in the four-person team..."

"The Watchmaker Mikhail!!!"

"And at the same time, due to the restoration of cosmic routes, more and more people came to Penacony for pioneering..."
