Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 15 The Possibility of a War of Gods

On the platform, Xing and March 7th are fighting against the Doomsday Beasts that are chasing them.

Interestingly, at first, the Doomsday Beast was flying around in the sky, not yet deciding where to attack, when suddenly a clear and pleasant roar was heard:

"—Get down here!!!"

Doomsday Beast: ......

I looked down.

A pretty girl with pink hair was drawing her bow and arrow, looking at it defiantly.

Are you telling me to come down? So, little sister wants to play with me?

The Doomsday Beast suddenly became agitated.

Someone's willing to play with me!!! I've been a weapon against celestial bodies since birth, I never thought someone would be willing to play with me!

I'm so happy!

The Doomsday Beast decisively landed, slamming onto the space station's platform with a loud thud, letting out a long howl.

Next, the Doomsday Beast and the group engaged in a playful battle.

Of course, what he thought was just playing around was a near-catastrophic disaster for the train crew.

Himeko's orbital cannon can indeed kill the Doomsday Beast, but its area of ​​effect is too wide. One shot would destroy at least half of the Black Tower Space Station.

Even if the Black Tower doesn't care about this space station, it will still cause chaos.

Enraged by the chaotic attacks, the Doomsday Beast soared into the sky and unleashed a breath attack on March 7th.

At the critical moment, Xing immediately stood in front of March 7, trying to block this almost unsolvable attack for her.

And she did succeed.

The power of the Doomsday Beast did not strike her; instead, a protective shield-like object appeared in front of her.

Perhaps it's because the star core is helping her.

Xing thought vaguely.

It sounded like someone was speaking in her ear.

Is it Kafka?

—It's time to set off, to reach that destination, and to use your own will to reach that ending.

Strange images flashed through my mind, but I couldn't quite grasp them.

—Look, He has noticed you.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes.

I felt as if I had entered a strange space.

Golden death enveloped her entire body, and Xing's gaze suddenly collided with a pair of deep, murderous eyes, instantly freezing her in place.

Who is it?

—Is it Nanook of Destruction?

Xing's thoughts froze in extreme fear before she could even think of those two sentences.

He had no idea what else he could think of; all he knew was that he seemed to be locked onto by a massive and terrifying killing intent, unable to escape.

Am I going to die?

Xing felt fear.

Am I going to die?

Kafka left her at the space station and told her to follow the people who came to find her.

She followed March 7th and the others, but why is she dying so soon?

Very unwilling.

She hasn't properly seen this world yet, hasn't experienced the wonderful things Kaffa spoke of, hasn't adventured with companions who are like family, and hasn't reached that end.

My chest felt like it was being burned by fire.

The star core within her felt the power of destruction, and she was as excited as a child.

It wanted to rush out and find its king.

In an instant, the star's core went berserk, and the power of interwoven golden threads enveloped the star.

"Huh? What's going on?!" March 7th was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

The strong wind almost blew her away, but Danheng quickly grabbed her.

The explosion of the star's core was imminent.

It was as if time had suddenly stopped, and a cane pierced through the star's core radiance, gently touching the star's forehead.

He pushed her back.

Perhaps it was gentle.

However, the star core also became docile as a result.

Yun arrived at the platform at that moment and just happened to see Walter tapping Xing on the forehead with his Eden Star.

"I'm late."

Yun's tone relaxed: "Did Nanuk glance this way just now? I think I sensed him."

That's the truth; a star god did indeed glance in our direction just now.

Himeko frowned. "Nanook looked this way... Is it a star?"

Yun nodded: "It should be."

The aura of destruction is unique, and the gaze of the Star God cannot be replicated.

Even the Black Tower's simulated universe is the same.

Walter just knocked Xing unconscious... or so it seems. Xing looks like she's about to faint.

"Let's talk somewhere else," Walter said.

Yun Zhi nodded: "Let's go, Dan Heng, San Yue, you two keep an eye on her for a bit, I'll be there in a bit."

"OK."

Danheng and Sanyueqi helped Xing leave.

Although March 7th was still a little curious about what the three parents were going to talk about.

But... children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking.

Walter, Himeko, and Yunzhi returned to the carriage.

The carriage was unusually quiet, the lights were dim. Pam sensed that something was wrong, so she left the observation carriage to the three of them and went to the kitchen to cook.

The air in the huge carriage was stagnant.

What do you think?

Walter was the first to ask a question.

Himeko replied, "Is it the influence of the star core? But Nanuk... I think none of us understand anything more about the Star Gods."

Walter's gaze fell on the clouds.

Yun Zhi shook his head: "The Star Gods only follow their own destiny. Lan is like that, and so is Nanuk. The Star Core Hunters want to avoid a certain future, and the Star... should have been born for that goal."

"Even if it's just to make her the vessel for the star core?" Himeko felt a pang of heartache.

Himeko knew that Hoshi was a good child just from the fact that she shielded March 7 from that fatal breath.

But has she now embarked on a path predetermined by others?

Everyone's future should have multiple possibilities, but her fate was already sealed.

Having a destiny that you can see the end from the beginning is not a good thing.

"Speaking of which, if Lan and Nanook were to fight, who do you think would win?"

Himeko suddenly asked.

Yun's brow twitched.

"Why does Lan want to fight Nanuk?" he asked rhetorically.

The Pharmacist and the Abundant Beast are not all dead yet, so Lan won't be so fickle in her pursuit of revenge.

Himeko strangely understood Yunzhi's subtext: "...I mean, if one day in the future they really have to fight each other."

"It depends on the situation. A war of gods is never just a stage for two star gods. Back then, several star gods were involved in killing [Breeding] Taizyuros."

The clash of the destinies of two star gods will inevitably interfere with the destinies of others; at that time, we'll have to see what the other star gods do.

At the very least, Aha will definitely show up and cause trouble.

Humans' so-called one-on-one duels are nothing but nonsense in the world of the Star Gods.

Himeko nodded, seemingly lost in thought: "I understand... Yang, what do you think of Xing?"

Walter Young looked out the window and pondered for a long time.

"Let's see if she's willing to join the Star Train."

No matter what, they are just homeless children now.

Perhaps it was because he was reminded of the past that Walter made this decision.

Himeko thought about it and agreed.

Raising a three-month-old is raising one, raising a starling is raising one, raising them together... no problem at all.

The clouds are indifferent.

Reach a consensus.
