Chapter 7 The Glimpse of the Destroyer Star God



Chapter 7 The Glimpse of the Destroyer Star God

Gui Naifen's live broadcast room

It's incredibly lively right now.

Gui Naifen immediately poured one million Star Jade into both the beginner pool and the permanent pool.

Such a large number of credits is something most ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Tingyun, Pera, Alan...

All perished, the wheel of fate, the hymn of unity...

When she first started drawing lots, Gui Naifen would carefully examine each one to see what she had drawn.

But after a while, I lost patience.

After that, it's basically just a series of ten-pulls, and then you skip the animation.

at last!

I got a gold item from the beginner pool, and it was even a double gold item – Himeko and Clara came out together!

Gui Naifen jumped up from her chair: "Family! We got a gold one! And it's Himeko!!!"

Looking at the composed and mature patriarch on the screen.

With her gentle and elegant demeanor, she fell in love with the character at first sight.

As for Clara, the little girl with white hair and red eyes, she looks quite cute and should be a character who appears later in the story.

The live chat exploded instantly:

"What incredible luck! Two gold medals!"

"Oh no, oh no! I got the gold one on my fiftieth pull, why isn't it Clara?!"

"I chose Bronya, she's very strong! She can increase the turn meter, allowing the main DPS to act again!"

"There's actually a Tingyun here! I saw her strolling around on the street with a smile on her face just a few days ago."

"Tingyun looks like the kind of fox-like beauty who would pounce on you and call you 'benefactor' the moment you meet her!"

"Are you all so rich? You actually spent money to pull from the beginner pool?"

"I feel like you're the kind of person who comes up here, opens your email to collect forty regular tickets, and then draws from the beginner pool to get a free five-star character."

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"I didn't notice, but I actually received a package in my mailbox!"

……

Upon seeing the notification in the live chat, Gui Naifen quickly opened her email.

Sure enough, there was an unread email lying there.

"Launch Benefits: Dear Trailblazers, to celebrate the official launch of Honkai Impact: Star Railway, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your support..."

The email contained three things: forty permanent tickets, a newbie avatar, and a selection pack of a five-star permanent character and a Light Cone.

This reward is so simple and direct.

In this way, new players can get at least two five-star permanent characters right at the start of the game without spending money.

Lin Lin's actions caused Gui Naifen's fondness for the game to soar, making her even more willing to invest in it.

It's a commercial order anyway—a portion of it will be refunded in the end.

Gui Naifen received the tickets and the gift package she had chosen from the email.

She first opened the self-selection gift pack, where seven characters and seven light cones were displayed for her to choose from.

Faced with so many options, Gui Naifen also suffered from decision paralysis.

While these items can also appear in the permanent pool, it's purely random.

She was eager to see what happened next and didn't want to linger here too long.

"My dear sis! Which one should I choose?"

Su Chang was taken aback: "I just saw in the comments that Yan Qing seems pretty useful!"

Gui Naifen glanced at the dense barrage of comments and actually found quite a few recommendations.

The comments section is still flooded with messages:

"For these seven permanent characters, newcomers can just pick Yanqing or Bronya!"

"Yanqing is the top choice for pioneering, and Bronya is a versatile support; you can't go wrong with either choice."

"Clara is the least recommended. Her mechanics are a bit unique, and her passive counterattack isn't very effective in the current meta."

"What nonsense are you talking about! What's wrong with Clara? Clara is amazing, okay?! Hehehe~"

"Yanqing is really good! High burst damage against single targets, killing elite monsters is a piece of cake, he's definitely the first choice for clearing new content."

"Indeed, if we add March 7th to the mix, it'll take off immediately."

"Other characters also have their own characteristics. Himeko is more focused on AoE attacks, and Uncle Yang can push back the turn meter and slow down enemies."

……

Gui Naifen pondered for a while and finally chose Yanqing.

Following suggestions from viewers in the live stream, I assembled a lineup of Yanqing, Sanyueqi, Tingyun, and Himeko.

She first leveled all four characters to level 20, and used whatever weapons she had just drawn to equip them.

Then the story continues to unfold.

Following the mission instructions, I controlled the protagonist star to circle around the space station a few times before heading off to find Estádio.

The next moment, the screen went black, and the story began:

Countless red warning signs lit up on the screen one after another.

The giant claws of the Doomsday Beast were slowly tearing through the space station's protective shield, and the ear-piercing sound of energy collisions continued.

Upon seeing this, Estella told Himeko without hesitation, "You two take the train!"

At the same time, her face was filled with determination: "...I'll stay."

"But..." March 7th wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Himeko.

"Let's go!"

Himeko glanced at Hoshino, who was still in a daze, and reached out to pull her along.

The train crew is preparing to proceed to the platform to meet Walter.

The comments section started flooding in again:

"Stationmaster Estelle really earned points this time; no wonder she was able to become the acting stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station."

"How terrifying! I can feel the oppressive aura of the doomsday beast even through the screen."

"The antimatter legion's anti-planet weapons can destroy a planet like it's nothing."

"I can't believe it! How can 'destruction' be such a destiny in this world?!"

Why did Himeko give the protagonist a special look before she left?

"Could it be... that the Doomsday Beast is actually chasing a star core???"

"Is Station Master Estella going to die?"

"Don't worry! This is the Black Tower Space Station. The name Black Tower isn't just for show."

……

Inside the Black Tower space station.

Estelle was still immersed in the cool scene of her selfless act and forgot to continue the story.

She felt incredibly cool, and that the whole universe might be able to see this now.

Hehe ~

Finally, Heita couldn't stand it anymore, so he snatched the phone and pressed continue for her.

Estelle: "Huh?"

Ignoring her questioning gaze, Heita turned to ask Alan beside him.

Is that really the case in reality?

Alan thought for a moment and said, "Not entirely. There are some subtle differences, the main one being that Lin Lin is not in the story."

Black Tower nodded.

Could it be... that he really is a prophet?

Next time, let's just grab him and study him properly!

......

At this point, the plot has progressed to the platform.

Then the story unfolded:

"Wait, March!"

Danheng seemed to sense something and hurriedly called out to Sanyueqi, who was walking ahead.

Just as March 7th turned around, the figure of the Doomsday Beast whistled past her face, bringing with it a gust of wind.

"The Doomsday Beast...it actually caught up with us!"

Himeko glanced at Hoshi with a serious expression, which confirmed most people's guesses.

The live chat is buzzing again:

"As expected, the Doomsday Beast was chasing the star core inside the protagonist's body."

"Does it want to devour the star's core to increase its own power?"

"Will the protagonist be constantly being chased by 'destruction' from now on?"

"We're going to fight the Doomsday Beast, are we going to lose?"

"Don't worry! Even if we can't win, there will be a plot-driven death to save the day."

......

Just then, March 7th raised his bow and aimed at the Doomsday Beast in the sky.

"Get down here!"

One sentence left everyone completely bewildered.

Others are trying to avoid the doomsday beasts, but you're actively provoking them.

So... adorably silly.

But what was even more unexpected was...

The next second, the Doomsday Beast actually obeyed and swooped down towards the train crew.

Then, the screen shattered, and the battle began.

The comments section erupted in laughter again:

"Haha, it actually came down!"

"Miss March 7th is quite... quite... brave, yes! Brave!"

"Doomsday Beast: Okay! As you wish! I'm coming down!"

......

The battle has begun.

This is clearly a boss battle; the opponent has two long health bars.

The enormous doomsday beast almost completely filled the enemy's position.

Above its two giant claws and its central core, health bars are displayed.

It seems like this is a boss with a mechanic.

Gui Naifen observed carefully for a while and found that all three parts on the other side were weak to fire.

No wonder the system forced me to bring Himeko along.

After she successfully destroyed the two arms of the Doomsday Beast, its attack pattern changed.

The two giant claws dragged the central core and began to gather power, as if brewing some devastating ultimate move.

Upon seeing this, Gui Naifen quickly clicked on Yanqing's ultimate skill icon.

"Ten Thousand Swords Descend from Heaven!"

Yan Qing leaped into the air and summoned a giant ice crystal longsword.

The air was chilling, and the sharp edges were menacing.

The enormous longsword slowly pressed down, heading straight for the Doomsday Beast.

A series of damage numbers popped up, directly interrupting the Doomsday Beast's charge-up.

The massive body crashed down.

The speed of the Doomsday Beast on the movement axis was slowed down infinitely, and the real health bar above its head was revealed.

The screen was flooded with comments again:

"That damage! No wonder he's a potential contender for the future Sword Master."

"Wow! Nobody told me Yanqing's ultimate move was this cool! Can I return him? I want to choose again!"

"I got Yanqing from the beginner pool, and if I exchange for her signature weapon, I'll have her all!"

"What? How did you know I, Yanqing, am already 6+5?"

"Hey buddy upstairs, did you whip that out with your head?"

......

The Immortal Boat on Luofu Mountain, the General's Mansion.

Yanqing scratched his head, looking puzzled. "General! I don't think I... know how to do this?"

Jing Yuan, who was beside him, did not answer, a barely perceptible trace of longing flashing in his eyes.

Each move and stance.

It's so familiar.

He will never forget it in his lifetime.

"General... what's wrong?" Yanqing's tone was full of concern.

Jing Yuan snapped out of his daze, smiled, and shook his head.

"It's nothing. It's just that some old memories are hard to let go of, and now they're flooding back, making me feel a bit sentimental."

Old memories?

Yanqing stared at the move on the screen that she had never learned before and fell into deep thought.

She then quietly stayed by Jingyuan's side and asked no more questions.

……

Gui Naifen easily defeated the Doomsday Beast by using the simple tactic of "lighting up wherever it's lit".

Just when everyone thought it was all over.

The Doomsday Beast suddenly unleashed its last bit of power and charged straight toward March 7th.

At the critical moment.

Xing stepped in front without hesitation.

A massive amount of "destructive" energy surged through her body.

Accompanied by a cry of pain—

The scene shifts to a peculiar space.

The star floated in the air, lying flat as it slowly drifted toward a golden rift.

"It's time to set off."

A clear, ethereal voice woke her up.

"here it is......"

"To reach that destination."

"...Who is it?"

"Use your own will to reach that ending."

Immediately afterwards, a series of images flashed by.

Kafka.

Himeko.

The figures of Bronya and a blue-haired girl.

A woman dressed in a green dress floats in front of the enormous mechanical creation.

......

When Xing suddenly opened her eyes!

"look--"

"He has noticed you."

A pair of golden eyes suddenly opened in the void.

At the same time, the view zoomed out rapidly, revealing the full view of the golden crack.

White hair, golden eyes, a tall figure gazing silently at the stars.

The huge golden scar on his torso was particularly striking.

Nanuk, the God of Destruction!

At that moment, everyone who was playing the game or watching the live stream stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with indescribable shock.

The live chat exploded with excitement:

"What did I just see?!"

"It's the Destruction Star God himself!"

"Star was just glanced at by Nanook!!!"

"Will Xinghui thus become a messenger?"

"Dreaming? Ignorance is truly terrifying!"

"Is this storyline real? Or is it...?"

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway Official (Max Level): Fake! I used AI to create this. (It's so funny to tease idiots.jpg)"

"The authorities have issued a statement to debunk the rumors!"

"Hilarious! Which AI can recreate this so realistically these days?"

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway Official (Max Level): How do you know it's realistic? Have you seen the Destroyer Star God?"

"You know what, I've actually seen it before..."

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway Official (Max Level): Tomato Series - Tongren Star, 315th Street Intersection, turn left..."

"What does this mean...?"

"Silly child, this is a 'box' attack."

"Official account, will you release a character named Hanabi in the future? (Poor face.jpg)"

"Honkai Impact: Star Railway Official (Max Level): Of course! As long as you behave, not only will you get little fireworks, but you'll also get little sparks. (Patting head.jpg)"

"???"

……

Gui Naifen is currently the streamer with the highest viewership in "Honkai Impact: Star Railway".

They are also among the group of people whose story progresses the fastest.

Many people who don't have time to play on their own come to her live stream to watch the game.

Therefore, all the viewers in the live stream saw the few comments Lin Lin sent while displaying the full-screen scrolling barrage with the max-level golden dragon effect.

It's hard not to see them.

However, he didn't know how many people actually believed it was AI-generated.

The scene where the Destroyer Star God glances out has once again pushed the game's popularity to new heights.

The game's visuals have appeared to varying degrees in the sights of all the major factions.

The popularity was so high that people were practically shoving their phones right in their faces to play with them.

......

Star Train.

There are still half of the clutter left to organize.

among them,

While distracted by watching the live stream of the drama, March 7th was packing his things.

She was quite surprised to see this.

"So much happened in that one second! You were actually glanced at by Nanook!!!"

Xing said proudly, "He's the lead actor! The treatment is definitely different!"

Then she immediately changed her expression, proudly holding up what she was holding: "March! Look what I found!"

Xing was holding a small blue and white gun.

It's only the size of a palm, and you can't tell what it's for.

March 7th came closer, looking curious: "What's this little gun for?"

Xing didn't say anything, but simply picked up something from the side.

Some of the items Lin Lin drew could not be explained by fate or existing science.

For example, Dragon Ball.

Take this gun, for example.

Xing was holding a gun in his right hand and a pair of sunglasses in his left.

Then she pointed the gun at the sunglasses.

A soft "ding" sounded.

A line of explanatory text appeared on the blue and white gun:

Sunglasses: Protective gear to prevent direct sunlight.

March 7th's eyes widened in surprise: "This gun can display the purpose of an item?"

"That's amazing!"

Xing casually put on the sunglasses, feeling quite intrigued.

I don't know if this gun works on all items.

"With this, these things piled up here without any purpose might finally come in handy."

"Bulldak Ramen: a type of food, a very spicy noodle dish."

"Animal World: Books that introduce the animals of a certain planet."

"Zhennengwang: A magical artifact that can perfectly suppress energy about to erupt."

USB flash drive: Data storage device containing the PV "Interstellar Travel".

……

Eh?

and many more!

Xing picked up the USB drive she had just put down.

Could this be... the USB drive that Lin Lin has been looking for?
