Chapter 48

But what she saw today refreshed Herta's cognition time and time again.

"That just now was..."

"The Amber King's hammer!!!"

"Could it be that when Stelle touched the flame spear, a new Amber Era began?"

Although Asta also found it hard to believe, the hammer just now and that crisp sound of it smashing down...

All pointed to one thing...

A new Amber Era was about to begin!

"Ms. Herta, you say this is a coincidence..."

"Or did the Amber King drop this hammer specifically for Stelle."

Herta frowned: "If it were anyone else, this would definitely be a coincidence."

"The Amber King is an Aeon, and the start of a new Amber Era depends entirely on the Amber King's thoughts..."

"But if it's Stelle..."

Herta found it hard to say...

After all, Stelle was simply too outrageous; it's one thing that she's a Stellaron come to life.

But she could also walk on two Paths at the same time...

Who could believe this?

Asta also nodded: "Yeah, it's precisely because of Stelle's uniqueness that I asked."

"Asta, let's just treat it as a coincidence."

"When the Amber King drops the hammer, the universe changes in an instant, and nothing is strange..."

"Let's just treat it as a coincidence."

Asta looked at Herta, and Herta looked deeply at the video screen in the live stream...

Then she nodded gently.

Although she didn't know Herta's thoughts, she knew that trusting Herta's judgment on such matters would definitely not be wrong.

On the Astral Express...

"This is... for real..."

Himeko frowned: "Has the new Amber Era started just like that?"

March 7th looked at Himeko curiously: "Himeko, what are you talking about?"

Dan Heng explained: "The moment Stelle gripped the flame spear, the Amber King struck the hammer."

"In the entire universe, this means a new Amber Era has begun..."

"A coincidence?"

Welt pushed his glasses: "Is it really a coincidence?"

"Stelle touched the flame spear, a new Amber Era began, and at the same time, Stelle will also walk on the Path of Preservation..."

Himeko and Welt looked at each other.

Stelle put her hands on her hips, revealing her white teeth and a healthy smile.

"Hey, that's why I'm the protagonist!"

"Why are you getting proud?"

In the live stream...

Bai Feng asked: "Bronya, did you see the hammer and the sound of the hammer falling just now?"

Bronya nodded: "According to the Captain's previous introduction, the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, has always been building walls."

"I think this hammer must belong to the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, right?"

"Smart!"

Bai Feng praised her, then said: "The Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, is the oldest Aeon in the universe."

"The sound of his hammer striking will resound throughout the entire universe."

"Therefore, most civilizations in the universe have a dating system called—the Amber Era!"

"This dating system is determined by the sound of the hammer striking..."

"In other words, the moment Stelle gripped the flame spear just now, a new Amber Era began."

"It is now the 2158th Amber Era!"

Bronya looked at this scene in the video screen: "Is it a coincidence?"

Bai Feng smiled without saying a word...

[Honkai Bronya: What a unique dating system...]

[Mobius: Is it really a coincidence? Yet there is still the gaze of the Amber King to come...]

[Theresa: Because the sound of the hammer can resound throughout the universe, has it formed a consensus among civilizations...]

[Silver Wolf: As expected, everything is developing according to Elio's script...]

[Kafka: Yes, the next step is the most important one...]

[Mei: What a magical way of dating...]

[Pardofelis: That hammer just now, is it the weapon of the Aeon of Preservation!]

[Jing Yuan: The start of a new era is also the beginning of this game...]

[Qingque: Could it be that when this game ends, the Amber King will strike another hammer?]

[Elysia: It's starting to sound a bit romantic.]

[Sakura: This weapon... the more I look at it, the more it looks like Shamash's Judgment...]

[Guinaifen: Am I the only one who thinks the prelude to this music sounds great!]

[Li Sushang: +1!]

[Honkai Himeko: +1!]

[Rita: +1!]

In the video screen...

Stelle gripped the spear handle for the first time, and with the fall of the Amber King's hammer, a powerful force directly repelled Stelle.

But Stelle did not give up; she rushed forward again and grabbed the flame spear with force.

The flame spear erupted with even more powerful flames, attempting to push Stelle away again!

But this time, Stelle grabbed the flame spear with all her might, and her other hand also came forward to help grip the handle of the flame spear!

The next moment, Stelle let out a roar!

The flame spear plunged into the starry sky began to be pulled out, with a crisp "crack" sound.

The starry sky below began to shatter...

Stelle used all her strength to finally pull out the flame spear, and the erupting flames illuminated the entire video screen...

Subsequently, a terrifying giant composed entirely of stone appeared in the light!!!

This giant was incomparably huge, and even those stars were just a backdrop for this stone giant!

And he was the Aeon of the Path of Preservation!

The Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth!

The Amber King!!!

Compared to the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, whose appearance was that of a human male, the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, appeared more like a god.

His entire body was cast from giant rocks, and his head was as bright as a burning star!

His other hand held a stone hammer, performing a powerful action!!!

The star on his head also flickered brightly at this moment...

"This is the Aeon of Preservation, Qlipoth, and at this moment, he has cast his gaze upon the Trailblazer, Stelle."

"This means that from the moment Stelle pulled out the flame spear, she has officially stepped onto the dual Path!"

"She is also the only Pathstrider in the universe with dual Paths!!!"

"Next, Stelle will carry the power of Preservation abandoned by Cocolia..."

"And start the final duel with Cocolia!!!"

Bai Feng narrated like a storyteller...

And all the audience members were immersed in Qlipoth's gaze...
