Chapter 286: Honkai: Star Rail

Through the livestream room, everyone now sees the narration about that text—

【Two planets intertwine their tragic fates, and a past ballad is scattered between the Heavenly Rock Caves.】

【That ballad has no beginning or end, no sound, comes from no one's mouth, and is transmitted to no one's ears. It is written as follows: —】

【Takamagahara is as far away as Izumo, originally a paradise on earth.】

【Heaven and earth turn into a black sun, moving the tides, as if the migrating gods are coming in waves.】

【Eight million disaster gods show their ruthlessness in slaughter, but they didn't expect the supreme power to be stolen.】

【Izumo country broke 70,033 swords, forged into twelve Edict Blades of World Protection.】

【The first is Truth, forged by cutting down the God of Tomukari, allowing mortals to observe the laws of the world, deconstruct all things, and recreate miracles;】

【The second is Heaven, forged by cutting down the God of Amenotokotachi, allowing the high heavens to become walls, making it difficult for the gods of disaster to pass through;】

【The third is Sound, forged by cutting down the God of Takemikazuchi, allowing thunder to tear the sky, and stars to strike as punishment;】

【The fourth is Storm, forged by cutting down the God of Shinatsuhiko, allowing the cracking wind to break the earth, and clouds and rain to roar endlessly;】

【The fifth is Frost, forged by cutting down the God of Winter, allowing the sequence of time to freeze, and the frozen earth to be boundless and difficult to pass;】

【The sixth is Life, forged by cutting down the God of Iwanaga, allowing flowers to bloom all over the desolate graves, and life and death to flow without a trace;】

【The seventh is Fierce, forged by cutting down the God of Kagutsuchi, allowing the blazing fire to burn the world, and the flames to light up the sky;】

【The eighth is Awakening, forged by cutting down the God of Omoikane, allowing the water mirror to reflect the past and know the future, and not see the truth for thousands of generations;】

【The ninth is Foundation, forged by cutting down the God of Oyamatsumi, allowing the islands to hang high in the sky, and the mountains to crack and the earth to break before the formation;】

【The tenth is Thousand, forged by cutting down the God of Okuninushi, allowing the common people to be connected into a network, with countless shadows and tides;】

"Eleven as a binding, forged by the god who halts the long-enduring, can force all divergent paths into a cage, where evil spirits and all manner of wickedness vanish within a foot's reach."

【The twelfth is Devouring, forged by cutting down the God of Magatsuhi, allowing the world to be eroded and decayed, and gods and ghosts to be indistinguishable.】

【Then the netherworld is swept away, the gongs and drums stop, and the twelve cold lights are broken;】

【Only the wild souls are noisy, the black sun is bright, and finally the two negative world swords are forged.】

【The first is Beginning, the second is End; with people as the beginning, with ghosts as the end.】

【The sound stops, the flowers wither and flourish, the losers return to nothing, the winners... become empty.】

【The lame monk sings an out-of-tune song, and those with divine power also retreat towards the gods.】

【Under the witness of the sun, on the land once called Izumo, people, gods, ghosts... are nowhere to be found.】

Somewhere in the universe.

Acheron looks at this poetic narration and is silent for a long time.

The past has long been blurred with the fading of memory, but at this moment, those bone-deep things appear in her mind as if reappearing.

It is because the memory after being infected by His power has also recovered a lot.

"I... still remember."

The beautiful purple-haired woman holds the long sword and whispers softly.

This feeling, since being infected by Nihility, has never happened again. At this moment, Acheron feels the various clear sourness and sadness in her memories after a long time.

At the corner of her eye, a tear slides down her cheek.

Acheron wipes it lightly with her hand, and when she looks closely, it is not blood-colored, but a clear and transparent tear.

The purple-haired woman can't help but smile.

That smile is so beautiful, like the brightest fragrance in spring.

The past has finally passed. Even if I have long known my ending, I still have to choose how to arrive. Only this point has not changed.

Acheron waves her sleeves, takes a step, and disappears from where she was.

Penacony.

Sunday also finished reading the copy and PV about Acheron so far, and couldn't help but fall into silence for a while.

To be fair, Sunday is naturally admiring Acheron, but such a dangerous existence carrying the power of Nihility came to Penacony, which made him have to be cautious.

In the galaxy, no one can underestimate 【Nihility】, and in the sweet dream of Penacony built by memory, the power of Nihility is even more dangerous.

It is no wonder that the Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection, who has always maintained a calm posture, would lose her composure because of probing Acheron's memories.

In the game, the plot development of Penacony has reached this point. To be honest, Sunday can no longer be sure whether his plan can proceed smoothly.

It's just that if he wants to give up, it's not that simple.

Having experienced many things in the past and seen many sufferings in the world, Sunday wants to save the world, but in the end, there is only this method.

He knows that this approach will put many people on the opposite side of him, but as long as it can succeed, everything is worth it.

Where the Astral Express crew is located.

March 7th puts her phone on the table and sighs: "After watching it, it really makes people feel complex."

Welt Yang nods slightly and says: "I hope Miss Acheron can have no regrets in the future."

Following Dan Heng says: "From before, Acheron's Penacony invitation letter was indeed intercepted from Duke Inferno, but why did she come to Penacony?"

March 7th also thought of this question and said: "You know, as a person infected by Nihility, Miss Acheron's power is absolutely extremely threatening to Penacony. Once discovered, extreme conflict is probably difficult to avoid."

"Although I don't think Miss Acheron will do anything to hurt the innocent, why Miss Acheron came to Penacony is still an unsolved doubt."

Welt Yang also thinks: "And, why does Acheron call herself a Galaxy Ranger? Is it to hide her identity? But once this fake identity of a Galaxy Ranger is exposed, what awaits might be the pursuit of the Hunt..."

"There are many ways to hide one's identity. Why did Acheron choose this risky disguise identity?"

March 7th is about to say something, and suddenly her eyes light up.

"Uncle Yang, Following Dan Heng, Stelle, come and see, Miss Acheron's PV is not over yet." March 7th turns the phone screen to the three of them, surprised.

At the same time, Kafka also followed and saw the last Acheron PV released by Su Chen.

This time it is a character PV. After Kafka clicks on the screen, this Acheron character PV titled 【Your Color】 also begins to play in the livestream room.

【In the colorless black, white, and gray scene, as Acheron walks on the streets of Penacony, the sound in the broadcast advertisement rings out suddenly, and information broadcasts from different sources flow into everyone's ears—】

【"Good morning, afternoon, and evening, residents of Penacony..."】

【"The 【Harmonic Music Ceremony】 is about to be held, and guests from all walks of life have arrived..."】

【After the advertisement, the excitement continues...】

【Under the blurred rain, Acheron holds an oil-paper umbrella and strolls on the streets of Penacony with a busy technological city style, appearing somewhat out of place.】

【Suddenly a female voice rings out faintly—】

【"Stained with..."】

【"Your color..."】

【In an instant, the huge reflection screen beside her suddenly gives up a weird red, and a figure appears in it, with long hair scattered.】

【In the blurred silhouette, it can be vaguely seen that there is a sense of similarity with Acheron.】

【At the same time, behind Acheron, a dream-walking fish swims silently, and the power of the Masked Fool quietly finds Acheron.】

Livestream room.

"Damn, is this Sparkle playing tricks?"

"Definitely correct. Besides Sparkle, who else would appear in this way with this red fish."

"To be honest, knowing Miss Acheron's past, I suddenly admire Sparkle's courage to provoke Miss Acheron."

"Ah hahahaha, you've had enough. After all, Lady Sparkle doesn't know Miss Acheron's experience, right?"

"That's true, who would have thought."

"Lady Sparkle, even Miss Black Swan suffered a loss at Miss Acheron's place, so don't ask for trouble."

"Come to think of it, in the main plot before, when the Trailblazer followed Black Swan into the dream hotel for the second time, didn't they just happen to meet Acheron? Acheron said it was because of Sparkle that she came here. Could it be here?"

"Hey, don't say it, it's really possible."

Somewhere unknown in the universe.

A secret place known to few.

Sparkle looks at the content on the livestream barrage and snorts: "A bunch of stupid guys, just relying on the eyes of an outsider to point fingers, and dare to say Lady Sparkle is not."

【In the PV scene, the color turns into black, white, and gray again. At this time, the scene changes suddenly. Under Sparkle's dream-walking fish, a series of rapid scenes flash, and Acheron is pulled into the illusion.】
