Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

However... it seems that the problems at hand are not limited to this.

Kafka narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Ling Kong.

If stopping the clouds was an accident, then the appearance of something in mid-air... well, that's a bit of a plot hole.

She had never heard of this person in the script that Elio had given her.

Either there's a major problem with Eriol's script... or this person is far more terrifying than she imagined, even capable of circumventing Eriol's prophecy...

But having followed Elio for so many years and acted in countless dramas, her trust in Elio was self-evident. She stared at Ling Kong, who hadn't reacted for a while, and slowly spoke.

"This place is not good. The divination is a long way off, and it won't do me any good either. Let's meet again up ahead."

Just as Kafka was about to turn and leave, Tingyun angrily asked.

"Wait! These Cloud Riders haven't fallen into the demonic realm... What did you do to them?!"

Turning to Tingyun with a slight smile, Kafka winked at Xing.

"It's just a little hint, just to get them to listen to me, Xing, you know that better than anyone."

After hearing Kafka's words, all three of them, except for Ling Kong, looked at Xing with complicated expressions.

Seeing that Xing wasn't in a good state, March 7th simply put a shield on Xing and let her handle it.

Walter was essentially a lifeguard, only intervening when something went wrong, while Tingyun and Lingkong stayed at the very back, completely acting like bystanders.

Xing, who possesses both the power of preservation and the power of destruction, easily knocked three Cloud Cavalry soldiers to the ground. However, the time it took to defeat the three Cloud Cavalry soldiers allowed Kafka to travel a certain distance.

After all, the others are just being controlled, so the methods can't be too brutal, or the three Yunqi soldiers will turn from an accident into a story.

Sensing the rapidly approaching presence behind her, Kafka's originally elegant steps underwent a very subtle change.

"Wait... why did this battle end... so quickly?"

She quickly ran to the designated location.

She had already tampered with the door; all she had to do was step through it, and the mechanism would automatically close it.

Kafka paused for a moment as she watched Hoshino charge forward.

She saw the stubbornness in Xing's eyes. She pursed her lips slightly, said nothing, and just quietly looked at Xing.

When the others arrived, she spoke as if she had been wound up like a toy.

"Just a little bit more... everyone, haste makes waste."

Take a step back, and the door begins to close.

The specially constructed gate would likely cause considerable damage if forcibly demolished.

Given the nature of the Starry Sky Train, it would rather take a longer route than remove the doors or climb over the railings.

Just when Kafka thought things would get back on track, she saw Ling Kong's slightly upturned lips, and a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up inside her.

Ling Kong gave Xing a thumbs-up and shouted loudly.

"Go ahead, Xing! I've already discussed it with Jingyuan. If the site is damaged, it'll be covered by public funds! He'll pay for the repairs!"

As if receiving confirmation, Kafka watched as Xing reached her hand inside her clothes.

Instantly, terrifying power was released, and a multicolored memory gem shimmered on Xing's chest, with all the power stored within it being transferred to Xing's body.

The violent airflow even blew her hair all over.

This force propelled Xing, who possessed the strength of a Cataclysmic Vanguard, directly into the ranks of the Annihilation Lords. Even if the time was short, capturing Kafka was enough.

"Star! You've been enhanced! Charge!"

March 7th, affected by the aerial attack, also shouted towards the stars.

"Star! Charge! Let's show this wicked woman what the Star Train is all about!"

At this moment, elegance was no longer an option. Seeing Xing enter a berserk state, Kafka felt as if her prank had failed and she was about to be dragged into a small room for a lesson. Her jog turned into a sprint.

My own kid...when did he become so strong?!

I thought the reunion of the kittens fostered in the countryside would be a heartwarming scene, but you told her!

The yellow-spotted kitten I had before was actually a baby tiger!

Forget petting the kittens, this big cat almost tore itself apart.

The raging power behind them shattered the special gate, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the Starport.

As a gust of wind swept past her, Kafka nimbly dodged and pulled out two special submachine guns from who-knows-where, unleashing a barrage of fire at Xing.

Every shot was only intended to disrupt the star's movements; none of them were aimed at vital organs.

However, when the bullets hit Xing, the expected interference did not occur. A powerful protective force emanated from Xing's body, and each bullet was blocked by this protective force before it even reached Xing.

This caused Kafka's pupils to shrink slightly.

Wait a minute... this doesn't match what Eriol said either.

Isn't the protective power gained from one's own star not as durable?

This immense protective power... if it were any stronger... she would have thought Xing had joined the Interstellar Peace Corporation and become a Protector.

But! Why is this so outrageous!?

She made thorough preparations for every operation, and her meticulously planned strategies allowed her to gracefully conclude each mission.

But this time... Kaffa admits, she's a little panicked.

Looking at Xing, who seemed unstoppable, a hint of reluctance flashed in Kafka's eyes. She parted her lips slightly and spoke in a voice that only Xing could hear.

"Listen to me... Xing, let go of your obsession... wait a little longer... I will give you a satisfactory answer... Now... is not the time..."

However, her once-proud Word Magic only had a slight effect at this moment.

That meant Xing was confused for three seconds, but in those three seconds... let alone do anything else, even if she kept attacking Xing, she couldn't break through that protective shield.

Or rather, she was at full strength, enough to deal with the temporarily enhanced star.

But... how could she bear to do it?
