Under the astonished gaze of everyone on the Xianzhou Fleet.
The Star Rail train, seemingly hurtling from the edge of the universe, did not slow down at all (it even seemed to have stepped on the gas).
It directly crushed countless peripheral bugs and crashed into the gigantic, wing-sheathed mother bug that had no time to escape!
Silver light flashed.
The mother bug, which had bred a swarm of bugs across the sky, didn't even have time to let out a death cry before it was instantly annihilated in the cold, dark universe.
This wasn't the end. After destroying the mother bug, the Star Rail train executed a high-speed drift, its dozens of carriages dragging comet-like tails, sweeping across the entire celestial zone!
The swarm of bugs, which had covered the sky, disappeared like melting snow, directly clearing out a fan-shaped void.
The flapping sound that had been disturbing people's minds also came to a standstill, losing its previous momentum.
However -
What should have been a scene of heroic arrival turned into a ghost fire, and everyone in the Xianzhou Fleet didn't know what expression to make.
"Quick, break through!"
There was no time to be stunned by the Star Rail train's violent entrance.
The Xianzhou warships and their affiliated starships formed a formation and passed through the void cleared by the Star Rail train, finally breaking through the encirclement!
Looking back, the Star Rail train had already entered jump mode, disappearing into this star region in a blue light that transitioned from real to virtual.
【Friends of Xianzhou, we'll see you again!】
This was the last message left by the Star Rail train as it left.
"What's going on?"
"I remember this Star Rail train's navigator is that Miss Ji Zi, right?"
"I have the impression that she was a warm and elegant lady. How come she drives so wildly?"
"She's not even inferior to the current helmsman of the Luofu Sky Merchant Guild compared to when he was young!"
"I don't know, but we can talk about this later. Let's go back to Yaoqing first. After reporting the situation, we'll express our gratitude to the Star Rail train later."
"You're right. Set sail, return journey!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, near the Azure Star.
Inside a small starship.
Kafka sat lazily on the sofa, swaying a red wine glass, watching the desolate space outside the porthole, waiting for the script to unfold.
"Kafka, Elios' message, he said he's going crazy..."
Silver Wolf sucked on a lollipop, playing a game on her phone, casually glancing at the Star Nucleus Hunter's group chat.
In the group chat, "Slave of Fate" Elios had just exploded in a rather uncivilized way: beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep!
"That Xia Ye again?"
"Yes!"
"Hehe~"
Kafka's beautiful eyes twinkled.
She first heard the name a month ago.
At that time, all of Elios' scripts had suddenly undergone subtle changes, and these changes were entirely positive. Even the worst endings had a glimmer of hope!
Through investigation, the Star Nucleus Hunters learned about Xia Ye.
Someone who didn't exist in Elios' predictions, someone who was constantly modifying Elios' script, someone whose next move was completely unknown -
This kind of unpredictable existence was the most annoying thing for Elios!
As for Kafka, she was quite interested:
"Silver Wolf, you're curious too?"
"Of course! How many people in the entire universe aren't in Elios' script? I'm too curious!"
"Well, you'll meet him soon. But don't get distracted. We have to finish the script first~"
"I know!"
Silver Wolf put down her phone and checked the time:
"It's about time, Kafka. Those antimatter legion grunts have already infiltrated the Black Tower Space Station through loopholes. It's time for us to go."
"Then let's go!"
Azure Star, outside the Black Tower Space Station.
The Star Rail train exited jump state.
It landed smoothly at the space station's spaceport dock.
However, none of the Black Tower Space Station staff who should have been busy at the port were to be seen. The only thing that greeted the Star Rail train was a group of antimatter legion grunts!
"Sister Ji Zi, Uncle Yang, what do we do?"
The Black Tower Space Station was a vital resource resupply point for the Star Rail train. Now that it had been invaded by the antimatter legion, March 7th felt that they should help right away!
"Dan Heng, Xia Ye, and March 7th, you guys go and check the situation first. Walter and I will be right there~"
"Okay!"
Xia Ye knew that Ji Zi was deliberately arranging this.
Generally, she and Walter wouldn't take action on expeditions that weren't too dangerous. Instead, they would let the younger generation gain experience -
Even though the only true youngster on the train was Xia Ye herself, Dan Heng and March 7th were technically long-lived beings, but in Ji Zi's eyes, they were all youngsters.
The three of them got off the train.
They faced the grunts rushing out from the Star Corridor.
Xia Ye looked at Dan Heng:
"Who's going first?"
"You go first~"
After a month together, Dan Heng had also come to understand Xia Ye's personality.
In simple terms, she was like March 7th, playful and mischievous, and she didn't like it when people stole her thunder.
"Alright!"
Xia Ye was just being polite to Dan Heng.
Recently, he was experimenting with the benefits given by the Virtual Tree of Time when he crossed over, and he needed a lot of combat data.
"Simulate Eden: Gravitational Suppression!"
The charging grunts suddenly froze.
The hundredfold gravity coming from all directions pressed on the armor fused into their bodies, causing a creaking sound!
As the gravity intensified, ordinary grunts couldn't withstand it and directly shattered into pieces in the gravitational field!
"Tsk, Uncle Yang's ability is really useful!"
"Your ability is a BUG, Xia Ye—" March 7th couldn't help but exclaim, "You merged with a root of the Virtual Tree of Time. How come I didn't get such a good thing!"
"Virtual Tree of Time?"
An unfamiliar voice came from a distance, clear and sweet, but with a hint of doubt.
"Who!"
Dan Heng turned around abruptly.
Before this voice appeared, he hadn't sensed anyone nearby. If the owner of the voice had launched a sneak attack -
Click~
At the edge of the platform where the voice came from, a small hand reached up. The skin was white and delicate, but the joints between the fingers were small, spherical joints, clearly not flesh and blood.
A petite and cute girl slowly crawled up from the edge of the platform and walked towards the three of them, her steps going *哒哒哒*.
"Star Rail train?"
"Black Tower Lady?"
The girl was the owner of the Black Tower Space Station, a member of the Genius Club, the Wisdom Order's envoy Black Tower - her doll!
"How are you here?"
The Black Tower doll didn't answer March 7th's question, but looked at Xia Ye with a scrutinizing gaze.
The Virtual Tree of Time theory was proposed by the Genius Club's First Seat, Zander. Now, there were still many people who were devoted to it, wanting to prove the existence of the Virtual Tree of Time -
Although Black Tower wasn't researching this aspect, she was a "genius", so she wouldn't ignore something like this!
She had to investigate it no matter what!
