Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 206 Speedrun: The Wish to Defeate Nicardi Beaufort

All the teams have now officially made contact with this world.

Moreover, only a few system hours have passed.

Onfaros had only just ended its campaign against Nicardoli.

Preparations are underway to begin returning the embers.

A lot happened during this period, let's take a good look back...

After Paddo and Aglaia made their deal, the others also arrived at the Heroes' Bath.

Aglaia then explained the purpose of their gathering.

That is... to defeat the Titan of "Discontent", Nicardoli.

However, the situation is different from the original, because there are second-time 'players' among them.

So now everyone knows that the reason Nicardo is still alive is because his soul is incomplete.

Because incomplete souls are rejected by the underworld.

So their first step is to find Oronis, travel to the past, and restore Nicardoli's soul to its wholeness.

So they split into two teams: one team was responsible for delaying Nicardoli, while the other team went to see Eulonis.

Of course, their arrival was met with hostility from Oronis.

So that they would not be able to see him.

After enduring various difficulties, Oronis finally compromised and became an accomplice in their campaign against their own kind.

Of course, it wasn't because they threatened us with force.

However, Kiana noticed something was amiss...

She felt there was a familiar feeling about this place...

But I just don't know where this feeling of familiarity comes from.

If it were Xiao Shi who came, he would naturally see it very clearly, because that familiar aura came from the consciousness of March 7th.

Now, the sound of the star taking pictures has slightly awakened her consciousness.

With a sliver of consciousness remaining, it hid inside the camera.

Apart from Kiana, who sensed something was amiss, no one else in the group knew anything.

If I had to say something... Qiong did sense something.

Because he is now essentially a meme, he is more sensitive to memory.

But he only felt that the memory quality here was relatively strong.

With the help of Oronis, they then traveled to the past timeline and met the Nicardoli of the past, or rather, a man named Gnaeus.

Qiong naturally recognized the other person, but he did not reveal his identity. Instead, he went with him to the last place.

I said my final goodbye to him.

After they restored Nicardoli's soul to its rightful place, another team that was fighting against Nicardoli naturally noticed Nicardoli's differences.

Not long after, they successfully defeated Nicardoli.

In this battle, Kevin used almost all his strength, except for not activating his Human Collapse form.

It wasn't that the enemy was too powerful, but rather that they were respectable warriors.

It was worth fighting with all his might. Of course, if he wasn't afraid of destroying the planet, he would have actually planned to initiate an artificial collapse.

As for why?

That was mainly because after Nicardi's soul returned to its place, Kevin sensed Nicardi's mindset during their stalemate.

His disputes are not for destruction and ruin, but rather for preservation.

Moreover, He never fell, never yielded to the Black Tide.

He has been fighting against it, fighting against the darkness of this world.

Kevin admired this spirit and hoped that the soldier could fall in a dignified manner.

Therefore, when the others arrived, they witnessed Kevin unleash a Heavenly Flame, shattering Nicardori and cleaving Suspended Blade City in two. Saifei: Oh no! One of my ATMs is gone!

The group returned to Ohma with the fire and returned it at the heart of the cosmic vortex.

However, this time it wasn't Bai E who inherited the flame, or rather, the inheritance ceremony was postponed.

Kevin stopped him, saying that Bai Er's heart was not yet strong enough for him to inherit the fire.

Although Kevin didn't know how to inherit the flame, he knew that to master a power, one needed the determination to rival that power.

Although Bai'er's determination was strong, he still lacked his own desire.

Kevin once asked Baier what his wish was.
The answer, however, left Kevin sighing, because his wish was to fulfill the wishes of others.

This wish sounds grand, but it carries an unbearable weight. In fact, it is not a wish, but a burden and a responsibility.

So Kevin let Bere find out for himself his true desire, his real wish.

But what Bai Er didn't expect was that as he traveled all over Ohm, he saw many people with smiles on their faces doing what they loved.

He fell into deep thought, unable to figure out what his wish was.
He asked Qiong, who happened to be passing by, and also asked Xing, who was searching for something.

Their expressions differ slightly, but the meaning is the same: rummaging through the trash cans of the entire universe.

Although it sounds outrageous, this wish is actually quite noble.

It also has their own style.

But it's clear that this wish doesn't suit him.

He searched all afternoon, but even as he disappeared, he still didn't know what his wish was.

It wasn't until Xi Lian and Xia Die, who were on their way home, passed by that they curiously saw Bai E sitting by the roadside, looking like a stone sculpture.

"Bai'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here instead of going home?" Xi Lian asked.

“Xi Lian, Xia Die… what are your wishes?” Bai E asked the two of them.

"My wish? Hmm... it's actually very simple. I hope everyone can be happy every day and that we can travel together everywhere."

"Hehe, this wish is no simple matter... Xia Die, what about you?" Bai E chuckled a few times after hearing Xi Lian's wish, and then asked Xia Die.

“Me? Hmm… there are many… I want to find Cenatos and ask Him why He gave me this blessing, I also want more people to see my works, and I hope that everyone will not be plunged into the pain of separation because of death…” Xia Die said after thinking for a while.

“This is indeed very much in the style of Xia Die…” Bai E said, looking at Kefa Le’s never-falling body.

"And what about you, Bai'e?" Xi Lian asked, leaning closer.

"Me? My wish is to fulfill everyone's wishes, but Mr. Kevin says that doesn't really count as a wish. He wants me to find my own wish..."

“I think Mr. Kevin is right. Fulfilling everyone’s wishes isn’t really a wish, nor is it a responsibility you need to bear. Everyone’s not a child; they’ll fulfill their own wishes,” Xi Lian said at this moment.

“Yes, everyone’s wishes will come true on their own. So what is my wish?” Bai’e murmured.

"Bai'e, do you remember what you said when you were a child?" Xi Lian asked the bewildered Bai'e.

"What you said when you were a child?" Bai E was a little stunned.

"Yes, didn't you say when you were little that your wish was to leave Arimixie and see the outside world?"

"Ah, but that wish has already been fulfilled... I can't think of any other wishes now..." Bai E recalled her childhood wish after Xi Lian's reminder, but that wish had already been fulfilled.

“Bai’er, a wish doesn’t necessarily have to be something grand. It can also be something very small. For example, Xing’s wish is to search through all the trash cans in the universe. Or Aya, who just wants to open a tailor shop with Miss Saifei’er and live a simple life.”

"Is that so... Thinking about it... I have indeed thought of my current wish. I hope... after everything is over, I can take everyone to see the scenery of Arielmeyer, go fishing with Miss Saifeier, compete with Wan Di in the wheat field to see who can plant faster, take Teacher Kevin to see my home, and sit under the tree chatting or lie in the wheat field sunbathing with everyone." Bai Er finally thought of his wish. This wish seemed small, but it represented a young boy's longing for his hometown and a boy's desire to share with his friends.

"Wow, that's a really nice wish~ I really hope it comes true... Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we went back to Aili Mixie, hasn't it?" Xi Lian exclaimed.

“Yes, it’s been almost eight years since I last left the Sorrowful Secret Pavilion, hasn’t it? I wonder how it is there now…” Bai E sighed.

"It's getting late, see you two tomorrow." Bai E looked around and saw that no one else was around. He knew it was getting late, so he said goodbye to the two ladies and left.

Xi Lian looked at Bai E with some emotion. Bai E had grown up; he was almost a savior capable of bearing everything…

But… Bai'er, I…we don’t actually want you to be the savior…

I don't want you to carry such a heavy burden and walk alone.
