This villain is too popular.

Chapter 103 Season 2 Premieres – New Map: Steam City
In the real world, there are 13 stations.

At 8 PM, the premiere of "Stars and Glimmers" will take place.

'First!'

'While there are fewer people now, I'm taking over this sea of ​​comments!'

'Wow, wow, wow, that's a royal flush right from the start!'

'Wait, wait, where's my husband, Tiandao?'

"Hey you, forget about waiting, just tell me your IP address! I seriously suspect you're from..."

Amidst the chaotic barrage of comments from anime fans.

The second season of the stars that they had been eagerly anticipating for 365 days—"Glimmer."

The mystery has finally been unveiled.

Although in the recent 'Born Strongest Side Story'.

Viewers already know that Tiandao will most likely return in the second season.

But when exactly will the Heavenly Dao return, and under what circumstances will it return?

The production team hasn't given any definite answer yet, leaving anime fans eagerly anticipating the outcome.

Meanwhile, the Ember Base had already completely sunk to the bottom of the sea in the first season.

The 36 Children of the Stars transformed into countless stars, scattered throughout the New Federation.

This means that the second season of Glimmer will not only unlock a brand new map.

You will also encounter many characters you meet for the first time.

However, what the audience in the anime/manga world is really looking forward to is the reunion of Tiandao and Caroline in the new era.

After all, there were the 'fireworks' at the end of the first season.

It brought tears to the eyes of many anime fans back then.

Although the ending was a happy one for everyone.

But the separation between Tiandao and Caroline still left many people feeling uneasy.

I wonder if there's a 'ghost' in the production team of this star-studded cast.

Otherwise, why would you break up these childhood sweethearts for no reason?

Wouldn't it be better to save it for later?
In short, the Stars Production Team is just a group of people who make anime series.

They have no idea what the real "Stars" is!

Amidst the excited expressions of countless viewers from different dimensions.

The opening theme of Season 2, "Glimmer," has ended, and the main episode has begun!

And the very first shot of the anime series.

It's a unique bar with a cyberpunk style, its signboard flickering in and out of the steamy mist.

A bar called 'Rusty Nail'.

【Starry World, Star Origin Era 101】

Six years after the destruction of the Ember Organization, in the Steam City.

[Lower Town, Rusty Hell, District 12]

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.
Due to the large amount of steam and other industrial waste gas emitted from the Shangcheng District year-round.

As a result, the Rusty Iron Hell in the Lower City is not only shrouded in "clouds" all year round, but also rarely sees the sunlight.

Harmful acid rain is also a constant problem, falling here from time to time.

An atmosphere of deathly stillness and despair silently spread across the screen.

In the scene, the sign for "Rusty Nail Bar" flickers in and out of the light mist created by steam.

Shortly after, a woman carrying a black umbrella and wearing a silver-white uniform walked into the frame.

She arrived at the entrance of Rusty Nail Bar and looked up at the bar's sign.

It seemed like he was checking if he had gone to the wrong place.

The woman had short, neat brown hair, and two-thirds of her face was hidden under the umbrella.

As the camera panned down, viewers quickly noticed a detail.

On the woman's left wrist, where she was holding the umbrella handle, was a familiar pink 'children's toy watch'.

And then this watch appeared.

This immediately made many viewers who had watched the first season seem to understand something.

Wow
A woman shakes the acid rain off her umbrella.

He pushed open the heavy, rusty gates of the Rusty Nail Bar, which seemed to come from hell.

Upon entering the bar, one is greeted by cacophony of heavy metal music and the howling and shouting of the patrons.

It instantly drowned out the 'drip-drip' sound of acid rain outside.

At the same time, a mixed odor of engine oil, cheap alcohol, sweat, and blood immediately rushed towards her.

Vivian frowned and reflexively covered her mouth and nose.

After she got used to the harsh environment inside the Rusty Nail Bar.

She began to carefully observe the interior layout of the Rusty Nail Bar.

Several thick steam pipes were haphazardly distributed on the ceiling of the bar.

Dark red condensate dripped from the rusty joints from time to time.

It's difficult to tell whether the liquid is rust or something else entirely.

The walls of the bar were made by welding together a large number of scrapped machines.

This has resulted in old, exposed mechanical parts being visible everywhere on these walls.

One careless move could easily injure a passing customer. In a corner of the bar, several gang members, modified with artificial intelligence, were present.

They were sitting around a table made of scrap metal armor plates.

They were excitedly playing a game called 'Death Roulette'.

I'm looking forward to someone losing the game and getting their head blown off by a single shot.

This adds a cruel yet thrilling element to this insane gambling game, a death performance.

"What a disgusting place."

Distorted, chaotic, corrupt, disordered.
Vivian only glanced at it briefly.

But she already felt a deep-seated disgust for this place.

If it weren't for her mission, she probably would never have set foot in such a horrible place in her life.

The Rusty Iron District is called Hell by the Upper City.

This place truly deserves its reputation.

In the corner of the Rusty Nail Bar.

A member of a rusty, hellish gang survives a round of the roulette wheel of death.

The expression on his face immediately changed from tension to elation at surviving a disaster.

He slammed the revolver in his hand heavily onto the table, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

He then forcefully shoved him in front of the gang member named 'Bertrand'.

"Hahaha! Bertrand, it's your turn!"

Upon seeing this, Bertrand's forehead, which was exposed with several rivets, immediately dripped a little sweat.

He stared at the revolver on the table.

The brain, which had been numbed by alcohol, instantly became clear at that moment.

I swallowed subconsciously.

It's clear that he's starting to back down.

But even if he tried to run away, the gang members around him wouldn't let him go so easily.

After all, two people had already successfully survived the 'Roulette of Death' before him.

Now you want to run away?
late!

"Um, me."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' pour the wine!"

Before Bertrand could finish speaking...

One of the gang members rudely smashed a brass glass filled with 'dark beer' in front of him.

Looking at the pitch-black 'coal ash stout' in the glass, with its foam resembling chimney ash.

Bertrand's hands, which were resting on his thighs under the table, began to tremble involuntarily.

You should know that this is a 'dark beer' brewed with industrial coal ash.

The smell alone is enough to make an average person's stomach surrender.

It's just these 'filthy and lowly' rats from the lower city.

That's why they would drink them like alcohol.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and choose your bullets, Bertrand. Let's see how many gates of hell you need to cross."

jingle——

Six bullets landed on the metal tabletop, making a crisp clanging sound.

It came into Bertrand's view.

Looking at the six bullets on the table.

Bertrand's pupils, now constricted, no longer showed the madness numbed by alcohol.

All they had was the fear of death.

Because what's in front of him now isn't a bullet at all.

These are clearly six scythes of death!

In a daze, Bertrand felt as if he were seeing a gate leading to hell.

It was slowly opening right in front of me.

Seeing him like this, the gang members around him were unhappy.

"What's wrong, Bertrand? Are you scared?"

"It's okay. If you're scared, just be brave and say it. We'll help you shove this damn bullet and that awful-tasting liquor into your mouth."

"But if such a situation really occurs, we can't guarantee that no accidents will happen during the process."

"Are you right?"

"Hahaha! That's right!"

Bertrand heard his companions' words, which were half-joking and half-threatening.

I realize that I have absolutely no choice.

Because this is the rusty iron hell.

A place where people could die at any moment, and people could go insane at any moment.

A place where people can turn into devils at any time.

And at this moment, he was bound to the chariot by the devils.

There is no way out now.
