Chapter 402

"Go for it, you must shatter the Dream of the Great One and uphold the will of Trailblaze and Harmony."

But just as the players finished their team formation and were eager to head to the final battlefield to fight Sunday, the screen shifted back to Acheron's memories.

Livestream chat.

"Uh... why do I feel a bit disappointed?"

"What kind of 'blue-balling' challenge is this?! I was just about to go all out, and the rhythm changed instantly?"

"Someone drag the person driving this plot out!"

"Ahem, I think there must be a reason for inserting this memory at this time."

"A reason? I'd like to see what reason it could be."

【In the game's story, accompanied by an old, weak sigh, the screen returned to the rainy coastline.】

【Acheron and the nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger stood before the shore, watching the Blood Sin Spirits in the sea continuously reaching their mutated palms toward the dim black sun in the sky.】

【The nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger sighed: "How long... has this rain been falling?"】

【Acheron, holding a red oil-paper umbrella, stood beside the nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger and said softly: "If I remember correctly, it could be years, decades, or even centuries."】

【"【The Hunt】's death-will does not subside until the end of life, but fortunately... we have finally guided these lost souls. They were heroes in life, and they will never again become puppets of 【Nihility】."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

Lieutenant Yanqing realized: "So Miss Acheron once guided these Blood Sin Spirits, which were transformed from the obsessions of former Galaxy Rangers?"

"Even though she reached the level of an Emanator on the Path of 【Nihility】, she still insists on fighting against 【Nihility】. No matter how many times I see it, I find Miss Acheron's inner strength truly powerful."

General Jing Yuan nodded gently: "Although Miss Acheron's strength is extraordinary, what is even more admirable than her power is her spirit and will."

【Acheron looked at the shadows gradually dissipating on the sea surface and said: "Look, the shadows on the sea have all dissipated. Do you remember? You said that when the regrets of the dead are all calmed, the sky will clear."】

【The nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger looked at the rain still falling from the sky and said blankly: "But, the rain still hasn't stopped..."】

【Acheron sighed slightly: "... Yes."】

【"So, why exactly is it..." the nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger asked softly, not knowing if he was asking Acheron or himself: "Why did this rain choose me?"】

【Acheron's eyes flashed with complex emotions, and she said softly: "Perhaps, it is because there are still people whose regrets have not been calmed."】

【"Mortals walking on the Path are like small boats crossing the water, leaving a winding trail and pushing away ripples of countless possibilities. Compared to the fleeting life of a human, these waves will not subside for a long time."】

【"And among them, some people have traces of existence so strong that they leave their reflections in these clusters of orchids."】

【"【Blood Sin Spirits】... the obsessions of Pathstriders. They are born from the shadow of IX, viewing themselves as the subject, unknowingly repeating the actions of the deceased in life."】

【"They are born from 【Nihility】 and head toward 【Nihility】, living a meaningless life. But this illusory shadow..."】

【"... has walked through long days with me."】

【Listening to Acheron's whisper, the nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger understood and sighed: "So that's how it is."】

【"I... am already dead."】

【With these words, the body of the nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger, which was still clear and distinct, suddenly turned into a black shadow. Vaguely, one could still see the outline of his previous form.】

【In this situation, the nameless, aged Galaxy Ranger was undoubtedly a Blood Sin Spirit.】

【And Acheron also transformed into her white-haired, red-clothed appearance, standing quietly beside this Galaxy Ranger.】

Livestream chat.

"Ah!!!!"

"So the Galaxy Ranger who had been traveling with Miss Acheron for so long had also become a Blood Sin Spirit long ago?"

"For some reason, a strong sense of being moved and bitterness welled up."

"So, the Galaxy Ranger who traveled with Acheron before had been holding on until now, relying on the obsession of guiding his fallen comrades?"

"And at this moment, when all the Blood Sin Spirits were guided, this nameless Galaxy Ranger finally realized his own situation because his obsession had been resolved?"

"Damn it, suddenly there's sand in my eyes."

"Sigh~ I almost couldn't hold it back, I've lost all my dignity."

"In life, he watched over the deceased; in death, he turned into a Blood Sin Spirit, still repeating the act of watching over the deceased."

"Sigh~ My feelings are truly complicated."

Where the Astral Express crew is located.

Welt Yang sighed deeply: "Here, what Acheron said was what this nameless Galaxy Ranger had said before. Miss Acheron might have discovered the true situation of this Galaxy Ranger long ago."

Dan Heng sighed: "Miss Acheron also wanted to guide the obsession of this Galaxy Ranger, right?"

【The Blood Sin Spirit transformed from the nameless Galaxy Ranger asked Acheron: "Are you watching over me?"】

【Acheron said softly: "Perhaps. This is my duty... Acheron's watcher."】

【"I will guard the path to the abyss of 【Nihility】, leading every life that does not wish to fall into it... back to this world."】

【The Blood Sin Spirit of the nameless Galaxy Ranger said: "But if this is the result the deceased expected, do you still want to make it change?"】

【Acheron said calmly: "I don't know. But someone once told me that one day he would pass away, and he hoped that at that time..."】

【"... someone would place a bouquet of flowers before his grave."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

The Seat of Divine Foresight.

Lieutenant Yanqing lowered his head: "The nameless Galaxy Ranger said the same thing before. Is Big Sister Acheron following the wish of this Galaxy Ranger?"

General Jing Yuan sighed deeply: "Sigh~ This might be a cycle. Acheron's watcher—is this the origin of Miss Acheron's name?"

Livestream chat.

"Damn, I can't hold it anymore."

"This is what the Galaxy Ranger said before, and now Miss Acheron is answering him, who has already turned into a Blood Sin Spirit, with this answer. Wuwu..."

"It really feels like destiny."

"I was wondering before how this Galaxy Ranger would eventually pass away. I didn't expect that he had already become a Blood Sin Spirit without anyone knowing. And because of this, Acheron would carry his relics and last wishes."

"Sigh~ The story of Penacony is truly moving."

【The Blood Sin Spirit transformed from the nameless Galaxy Ranger asked: "Even if... this is meaningless?"】

【Acheron replied: "Some things, even if meaningless, must always be done. Similar things... I have experienced too many."】

【"Please extend your hand, and then, close your eyes."】

【In the screen, Acheron's blood-red palm and the Blood Sin Spirit's palm, shimmering with black mist, appeared in the rain.】

【Acheron's voice carried pity and solemnity as she said slowly: "I will carry your wish and walk on, to realize it. Only in this way can I resolve the last regret by this sea of death."】

【The nameless Galaxy Ranger asked in an old voice: "Will I... be able to see them again?"】

【Acheron said solemnly: "You certainly will."】

【"Because the person who told me this personally was you: about that train, your two former partners, that Trailblaze that ended in the Swarm Disaster, your narrow escape from death, and your encounter with the Galaxy Rangers..."】

【"... and that hometown you could never return to, Penacony."】

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

But after this dialogue appeared, Lieutenant Yanqing's face showed unprecedented shock: "The train, two partners, the Trailblaze in the Swarm Disaster, the encounter with the Galaxy Rangers after escaping death! Could it be... he is Tiernan!"

A flash of shock also crossed General Jing Yuan's eyes: "It shouldn't be wrong. I didn't expect that Tiernan, who had sacrificed himself in the Trailblaze, didn't die, but instead met the Galaxy Rangers and became one of them..."

"Things are unpredictable!"

Where the Stellaron Hunters are located.

At this moment, even March 7th discovered this. The pink-haired girl's eyes flickered as she looked at Dan Heng and Welt Yang: "Could this Galaxy Ranger really be Tiernan?"

Welt Yang said in a deep voice: "From what we learned from Mikhail before, Tiernan once picked up the path of 【Trailblaze】 again,"

"leading the Moths to Greatness family to explore outside the galaxy, but they were tragically surrounded by the Swarm... and the entire army was wiped out."

"But now it seems that Tiernan escaped death and met the Galaxy Rangers, or was saved by them. In any case, Tiernan indeed did not perish at that time."

Stelle said in a low voice: "However, Mr. Tiernan eventually passed away, just like the 【Clockmaker】."

March 7th said sadly: "But since Mr. Tiernan was still alive at that time, why didn't he return to Penacony and reunite with Mr. 【Clockmaker】?"

"If Mikhail could have known later that Tiernan was still alive, how happy he would have been."

Dan Heng said in a deep voice: "Judging by the situation at the time, I'm afraid Penacony had already been controlled by the Family, and even the 【Clockmaker】 was suppressed to this extent. It would have been extremely difficult for Mr. Tiernan to return."

The smile on March 7th's face had long since disappeared, and she became increasingly sad: "Knowing Mr. Tiernan's whereabouts and ending should be a happy thing, but in this situation, I really can't be happy."

Somewhere in the universe.

Dr. Ratio was reading a book while paying attention to the game's plot. But after seeing Acheron reveal the Galaxy Ranger's experiences and past, he immediately understood the Galaxy Ranger's true identity.

"A hero of Penacony in the past, and now he has brought vitality and hope to save Penacony again?"

"Destiny, fate is truly a subject that is not easy to unravel."

"And the Family, heh..." ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
