Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 131 Reinforcements arrive, everyone is present, and they are about to head to Pinocchio.
A spatial rift opened, and a person stepped out.

The person had black hair and purple eyes, and looked like someone from Liyue.

He often wore a cynical smile.

Then another man appeared, with black hair and red eyes. He had the air of a general, exuding a stern and murderous aura, yet he also possessed the refined and gentle demeanor of a scholar.

Two more people emerged after him, and the spatial rift closed after they left.

The man on the left has blue hair and blue eyes, a dragon-horn-like head and body, and an icy demeanor like ancient, cold iron.

The man on the right has black hair and black eyes, but there's a hint of gold in his pupils. He exudes an extraordinary aura.

The arrival was Ye Tianyu and his three companions, reinforcements that Jiang Tianxing had not expected.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Tianxing asked, both surprised and delighted.

He also withdrew from the man-made collapse.

"Sigh... We're going to Pinocchio in a few days, and it just doesn't feel right without you. So those two put in their best effort, found Teyvat, and came over here," Gongsun Ming explained briefly.

"Brother Yu?" Jiang Tianxing looked at Ye Tianyu, who was sitting quietly to the side, and asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's me," Ye Tianyu nodded in response.

"You look much more mature than before," Jiang Tianxing said, looking at Ye Tianyu's face, which was noticeably more mature than it used to be.

"Sigh... Having experienced so much, participated in so many wars, and witnessed so much life and death, it would be strange if nothing had changed," Ye Tianyu summarized his experiences.

“That’s true. After all, we’ve all been through a lot and changed a lot,” Jiang Tianxing agreed.

"No, if we don't go help them soon, they won't be able to hold on," Gongsun Ming said, stopping them when he saw the situation.

"We know *2," Ye Tianyu and the other person said in unison.

"But our energy intensity doesn't allow us to act directly here. If the energy released exceeds Teyvat's tolerance, it will explode," Ye Tianyu continued to explain.

"Then what should we do?" Gongsun Ming asked, eager for an answer.

However, the response was a silent stare from the three people.

"Well... so you're just trying to get me to make a move, right?" Gongsun Ming slapped his forehead, utterly speechless.

“There’s no other way. Tianyu and I have too high an energy level to directly attack. Hu Xiaoyao’s abilities are fire and his marksmanship. As for Jiang Tianxing, there’s no need to say more; he’s a mage, and in his human-made Collapse form, he’s either powerless or unconscious and can’t distinguish friend from foe,” Peng Hao explained. “You see, Xiaoyao has already made his move. But because he can’t use Honkai energy to deal with them, it’s still a bit difficult. So we can only rely on you.”

"Tsk, fine. You can sit here and watch my dashing figure!" Gongsun Ming said, then charged like a cannonball toward the "Extreme Evil Rider" who was entangled with Hu Xiaoyao.

"Extreme Rider" dodged the attack thanks to his keen combat instincts.

He was somewhat surprised to see the newcomer, because he could sense that this person possessed a power similar to that of the ruler, except that it was clearly a physical growth, and that energy was the weakest among them.

Seeing "Extreme Evil Rider" being dragged away by the two who suddenly appeared, "Captain", Mavica and Kong Neng clearly felt that the pressure had been greatly reduced.

After all, the "Extreme Evil Knight" was already one of the strongest in Kanria, and after being amplified by the Abyss, his strength was already enough to fight against a Demon God-level powerhouse.

Moreover, there are "wise men" and "prophet" stirring things up.

Even more surprising was the sudden ambush by monsters.

Now that "Extreme Rider" is tied up, the others can finally focus their energy on dealing with the others.

Kong was responsible for dealing with the monsters, the "Captain" for the "Prophet," and Mavica was in charge of the more troublesome "Sage."

The trouble arises because the "Sage" possesses the ability to forcibly control and remotely output damage.

If the "captain" were to deal with it, the result would only be a constant back and forth.

Of course, the battlefield is not only here, but also where Ye Tianyu is located.

His opponent is the Star-Devouring Whale.

To be precise, it's his "ingredients".

After all, the Star-Devouring Whale is rare; I was fortunate enough to see it only once before in the Sea of ​​Quanta.

Its meat is unique, and the mature meat is even more delicious, especially the meat near the heart, which is firmer. Moreover, there is a special core inside its heart.

It is also a high-quality metal material.

It is also the most important and common main dish during banquets among interstellar nobles.

However, the resources required to feed a high-quality, mature Star-Devouring Whale are also enormous.

It is estimated that the Star-Devouring Whale would need to devour at least several star systems, and all of them would need to be planets with resources capable of supporting at least an E-level civilization.

What is an E-level civilization?

The combination of the previous and current Yalilo-VI is roughly equivalent to a D-rank, possessing intelligent inhabitants, the ability to communicate with the universe, and abundant mineral resources.

If only the first two are available, then it is Class E.

Enough of that, let's get back to the main topic.

Ye Tianyu was not inside Teyvat, but in the Quantum Sea outside Teyvat.

However, he discovered a problem after he went outside…

The place he was in was not the Sea of ​​Quanta.

To be more specific, it is indeed in the Sea of ​​Quanta, but it is a space within the Sea of ​​Quanta where a life form resembles the stomach of a star-devouring whale.

The star-devouring whale in front of him had not yet reached maturity.

Therefore, this star-devouring whale may be its offspring.

The planets in its stomach are food prepared for it.

Of course, it might not be.

However, he discovered something else strange…

This creature appears to be gradually weakening.

According to Ye Tianyu's calculations, he will die completely in at most 50 years.

At that point, the physical body will gradually disintegrate and dissipate due to the lack of life energy. If Teyvat has not yet been eaten by the Whale, then they will face the collapse of the world, turning into bubbles in the Quanta Sea that can be punctured at the slightest touch.

That is to say...

Teyvat can only exist for a maximum of 100 years, after which the world will be completely absorbed into the Sea of ​​Quanta, and it is unknown how many people will still be alive at that time.

Therefore, Ye Tianyu is now faced with a choice.

A choice he often made in the past.

Choose option one: kill the Star-Devouring Whale.

Possible future events:
The revenge of the mature, star-devouring whale (suspected).

The energy of the Star-Devouring Whale was absorbed by the master of this space, allowing him to live longer and increasing Teyvat's chances of survival.

Option two: Let the Star-Devouring Whale go.

Possible future events:
The star-devouring whale dared not act rashly and stayed far away from this place (the least likely scenario).
After the Galactus Whale grew stronger, it devoured Teyvat once more. (Highly probable)
The Galactus Whale hides away, waiting until all the threatening beings have left before emerging to devour Teyvat again (highest probability).
However, he chose the third option: to violently subdue the Star-Devouring Whale!
The main reason for this is that the Galactus Whale can serve as a "barrier" to protect Teyvat.

Just like the creature outside that resembles a star-devouring whale, it has isolated most of the Quanta Sea from its erosion, allowing Teyvat to be unexpectedly spared from the erosion that could absolutely destroy it.

Subduing the Star-Devouring Whale is actually quite simple.

First, punch him.

And then, it ends.

Yes, it's that simple.

However... that punch almost pierced through the Star-Devouring Whale.

　It's coming! It's coming! Pinoctone is coming soon!
