Chapter 6

"... breathing and pulse are very weak, San Yue, prepare to do artificial respiration."

"Ah?! I... I have no experience, Dan Heng, you take over!"

"A sliver of light finally appeared on the screen, and the next second Dan Heng closed the gap, moving forward to press against Xing's lips."

"Th-this... the progress is way too fast?!"

"Could it be that humans from another world, without even establishing a romantic relationship, can get to this point?!"

"Ma Yin saw the scene, and her cheeks, which had already cooled a bit, suddenly flushed uncontrollably again; she covered her eyes, yet couldn't help leaving a slit to sneak a peek."

"People from another world can kiss on their first meeting, but she and Ta Zi Mi have survived death together many times and have barely even held hands."

"The difference is just enormous."

"Or perhaps the only one being conservative is herself? If you truly like someone, just go straight for it and it's done?"

——

"Dan Heng, of course, didn't kiss her; just as he was about to touch Xing's lips, San Yue Qi saw Xing's eyelid twitch and shoved Dan Heng away in one swift motion."

"\"Stop, shut up! She's awake! \""

"Seeing this, Ma Yin felt a bit disappointed."

"Actually, she quite wanted to see Xing and Dan Heng together, so that when she later captures Ta Zi Mi, she'd have a reference."

"San Yue Qi approached Xing, asking concernedly why she had fainted here, but the newly awakened Xing only held her forehead, her expression pained: \"I don't remember anything. \""

"\"That's a problem, \" San Yue Qi said worriedly, \"Could you try to recall? At least remember your name. \""

"\"Name... I am Xing. \""

"\"Xing? Hello, I'm Dan Heng, and this is San Yue Qi, \" Dan Heng briefly explained the current chaos to Xing, \"This space station was attacked by the Antimatter Legion; we were sent on a rescue mission by Station Chief Asta. \""

"Seeing Xing looking dazed, San Yue Qi enthusiastically explained the Antimatter Legion, mentioning the destruction of the Star God Nannuk and the extermination of the Great Lord, and finally added carefully, \"Dan Heng and I are crew members of the Star Rail, please look after us~\""

"\"Star Rail? \" Xing showed a confused expression."

"San Yue Qi asked oddly, \"Huh? You've never seen it? The train occasionally arrives at the space station. \""

"Seeing Xing's still half-understood look, Dan Heng continued, \"It's a wondrous train that possesses the power of the 'Pioneering' Star God, allowing it to travel through the Star Sea. \""

"\"... \" Ma Wei Ka withdrew her gaze and said lightly, \"Destruction Star God, Pioneering Star God... it seems the other world is not quiet either. \""

"When the word 'God' was mentioned, Ma Wei Ka subconsciously linked it to the Archon War that raged on Teyvat millennia ago."

"At that time, Teyvat was truly a chaos of demons, with Archons slaughtering each other, corpses filling mountains and valleys, blood forming rivers, all vying for a throne called 'God'."

"As the Archon of Fire, no one knows divine power better than Ma Wei Ka, yet she vaguely felt that the powers wielded by the 'Destruction' and 'Pioneering' gods likely far exceed what Teyvat can comprehend."

"It can be affirmed that if these unfamiliar 'Star Gods' truly erupt into war, the disaster would far surpass that of the Archon War."

"Fortunately, these Star Gods have nothing to do with Teyvat—this is the only thing she feels relieved about right now."

"\"Since San Yue Qi and Dan Heng are members of the Star Rail, and the train possesses the power of the Pioneering Star God, in other words, could this boy and girl be followers of the Star Gods? \" Qian Te La Li raised the question first."

"\"That's possible, \" Ma Wei Ka nodded, \"They may have also received divine recognition and possess some divine power. \""

"Ma Wei Ka was curious about what kind of power the 'Pioneering Star God' actually holds. On Teyvat, if a person's wish is strong enough, it can attract a Vision—this divine recognition is the Vision, also proof of a human being a 'Genshin'."

——

"\"Where should we go now? \" Xing asked, still bewildered about what to do next."

"\"Return to the main control compartment; Station Chief Asta and the evacuated researchers are there. \""

"\"The Star Rail is also parked nearby, so we don't need to worry about monster attacks; we'll take care of them, \" San Yue Qi, brimming with confidence, produced a bow as tall as herself."

"\"Then let's set off, \" Xing said, rubbing her head; her mind was blank, but since San Yue Qi and Dan Heng said so, she no longer hesitated."

"Dan Heng glanced toward the nearby Defense Department and said, \"You go ahead. Aran from the Defense Department lost contact nearby; I have to bring him back. \""

"\"Alright, then you be careful on your own, \" San Yue Qi reminded."

"As Dan Heng's gaze drifted away, San Yue Qi furtively glanced at the sole passage leading to the main control compartment, now swarming with Antimatter Legion phantoms drifting back and forth."

"She felt an inexplicable dread in her heart, touched her head and giggled, \"This return route looks unsafe, better bring some self‑defense weapons, but that's just a suggestion—what do you think? \""

"\"Hmm... you're right. \" Guided by San Yue Qi, Xing circled the Black Tower's oddity collection room, and after seeing all sorts of strange artifacts, her eyes were drawn to a baseball bat in the corner."

"The bat's plain, unadorned appearance made it stand out as refreshingly simple among the Black Tower's gaudy curiosities."

"The grip seemed to retain some warmth, as if a white‑haired veteran from the Honkai series had just swung it, and both its weight and feel were perfectly balanced."

"It felt like a fated encounter; Xing heard a chord of her heart being plucked."

"Xing held the bat in her hand, weighing it, and a satisfied smile spread across her face."

"Great, this it is!"

——

Honkai World ——

"\"Qi Ya Na, hahaha, she loves using a bat to hit people just like you! \""

"\"There are so many weapons in this little room that aren't being used; why insist on a bat? \""

"\"Haha, you'd have to ask Qi Ya Na~ she's more experienced with that. \""

"\"By the way, can a bat really kill those phantoms? That woman named Ka Fu Ka used a charge rifle to sweep them. \""

"Qi Ya Na let out a \"hmph hmph hmph\" laugh, and her gaze at Xing added a hint of \"great minds think alike\" appreciation; after all, these Valkyries have never swung a baseball bat at anyone, so they don't know how satisfying it is!"

"But Qi Ya Na was still curious; after all, she's a proper Valkyrie, professionally trained to wield such a weapon. Xing had just awakened—could the bat really feel natural in her hands?"

"Nevertheless, despite the worry, Xing quickly dispelled the doubt with her strength."

"Originally San Yue Qi intended to clear a path for Xing, but as soon as she nocked an arrow, Xing sprinted forward and, without hesitation, smashed a phantom's head with a hard swing of the bat."

"The phantom didn't even struggle; after emitting a \"howl\" it quickly turned into a small Black Hole and vanished."

"\"Wow, you can't judge a person by appearance; you're actually quite used to fighting... \" Xing's first combat display made San Yue Qi especially surprised; could this amnesiac girl actually be a powerhouse not inferior to Dan Heng?"

"Realizing Xing's strength, San Yue Qi decisively changed tactics: instead of leading the charge, she stayed behind Xing, constantly applying shield blessings, watching Xing surge into the phantom swarm like a death god, smashing one after another, killing without concern for burial."

——

"Like a demon-subduing lord descending from heaven, truly the Tai Sui god of the mortal world. This girl——"

Zhongli held a cup of tea, gently blowing away the floating sunken jade immortal tea on top, and sighed, "Impressive."

The oldest Archon known as the Martial God, Zhongli, although he had stayed away from fighting for many years, could tell at a glance that the girl named Xing was indeed a fine seed for martial arts.

Her movements looked practiced, yet without the stiffness and rigidity of over-polish; wielding the cheapest, simplest weapon, she could still achieve such exaggerated battle results.

As for the girl named San Yue Qi...... I feel her shield is even thicker than mine.
