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

Star God...an inescapable fate...

Friends... I never had... I don't have... and I never will...

His lifespan, measured in epochs, allowed him to witness far too many things; this was merely a small episode in his mission.

......

"Star...you know you have another option. There's a Star Train parked on the platform. If you'd like, you can come with us."

"The train has dealt with the 'Star Core' quite a bit, and what you're worried about is also the answer we're looking for. Besides..."

“We can come back anytime and let Black Tower do the research; she’s really interested right now.”

Himeko told Hoshino about her choice and watched her curiously.

What choice will this girl make?

She tries to give the choice to the star, but only when the star core is inside a person's body.

Fate was long beyond our control.

That's all she can do.

"That's not bad. It keeps things somewhat fresh, and I don't have to worry about this kid when I don't need him."

The Black Tower approved Himeko's method; it was indeed a viable approach.

If I don't figure out anything myself, I won't delay this kid's progress.

“I... will consider Himeko’s invitation.”

Gazing at the vast and boundless starry sky, Xing felt the energy returning to stability in her heart.

Fragments of memory flashed through her mind, and she thought she knew the answer.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A cough drew the three people's attention, and a familiar figure emerged from the bushes nearby.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? Oh, I just took a nap in here and ate some grass, and I choked a little."

He spoke without changing his expression.

Wait a minute, how come this space station has the ability to interfere with other things?

They even managed to get him into some random patch of grass.

The three of them stared at Ling Kong with puzzled expressions. Ji Zi's slightly open mouth remained open for a long time, and she blinked her eyes.

Is this the strange quirk of the strong?

Why are you sleeping in the bushes...?

wrong...

When did the grass on the space station get this tall?! It's big enough to hide people!

Noticing Himeko's questioning gaze, Ling Kong spoke without hesitation.

"Oh, you mean this grass? That's perfectly normal. Look at all those researchers on the space station. Some of them wanted to study growth promoters, so they dripped a few drops here. That's perfectly normal."

After speaking, Ling Kong nodded in response to Xing's gaze.

Good, it's good that you're alright.

Then he looked at the doll-like girl.

"Whose child is this?"

Black Tower: "?"

Chapter 16 Please... Come and take the test...

The doll's cold face adopted a cold expression, while the veins on Black Tower's face bulged.

"Kid, don't be disrespectful!"

Ignoring what Black Tower said, Ling Kong naturally emerged from the bushes, tidied his slightly messy hair, and asked Himeko.

"Was the damage caused by this antimatter legion invasion really that severe? Where are the children's parents?"

As he spoke, he placed his palm on Black Tower's hair and casually pinched Black Tower's cheek.

Hey kid, you have no manners.

Oops, why does this hair feel a little prickly?

However, the texture of this face is quite nice.

"Pfft..."

Xing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She wasn't the only one who thought so.

Later, I can ask Lingkong how Black Tower's face feels to the touch.

It's good to have someone rush ahead of you; you can try stepping on the landmines first.

"Ling Kong, she is the true master of the space station, 'Genius Club' #83, Black Tower."

I resisted the urge to bite Ling Kong.

Black Tower started by making a sarcastic remark about Himeko.

"Himeko, I already told you not to introduce this first. Wouldn't it be better if I solved the solitary wave algorithm problem and the Spark model conjecture?"

"Oh? That's impressive. What's the Genius Club? It sounds really high-class."

Black Tower shrugged helplessly, moved his tactless hand away, and replied expressionlessly.

"It's just an insignificant organization; its members don't even know all of their own people."

His hand was knocked off, and he sighed in mid-air.

It's quite soft.

What is that face made of?

This is so relaxing.

"But who are you?"

Himeko covered her mouth and chuckled, then pulled Shohoku closer to her.

It looks like something interesting is about to happen.

"I?"

Hearing that he was being dragged into this again, Ling Kong cleared his throat and straightened his collar, which didn't need straightening.

"My name is Ling Kong, and I am a traveler who loves to explore the wonders of the world."

After hearing Ling Kong's reply, Black Tower glanced at Ling Kong suspiciously.

What is this? Why are all these strange people coming to the space station?

It's been months since I've been back, and as soon as I get back, all this trouble I cause.

Seeing that Ji Zi seemed to know Ling Kong, Hei Ta suppressed his anger and said in a mature and old-fashioned manner.

"Young man, I won't lecture you any further, but I hope you'll understand one thing in the future: don't judge a book by its cover. The other person might be much older than you think."

"How big is it?"

"Have..."

"Ah."

Before Black Tower could finish speaking, Ling Kong nodded first.

Where did this little brat come from? Go wherever it's fun.

It's neither the youthful and lively March 7th, nor the mature and charming Himeko.

Why should I, a strongman who just fought with Nanuk, listen to you?

Aside from your cute face, what else do you have that's good?

Height... what good is it except that it can hit my kidneys when I jump?

She felt Ling Kong's unbridled gaze sweep over her, specifically lingering on her head.

Black Tower: The fist has hardened.

She turned to Himeko and said.

"Himeko, what do you think of Ling Kong's strength?"

"Oh? I think it's not bad."

"Is that so?"

Black Tower swung her right hand back, and a hammer almost as tall as herself appeared in her hand. Without saying a word, Black Tower stepped forward with her left foot, used the hammer's momentum to spin herself around, and smashed it down into the air.

With a twist of her waist, she easily dodged the attack in mid-air without even needing to move her legs.

However, the matter was not over yet. Ling Kong suddenly felt his vision darken.

Looking up, he saw several puppets that looked exactly like the Black Tower appear in mid-air, their giant hammers slamming down towards his position.

I'm outta here. The kid's angry; adults should be more magnanimous and not hold it against him.

A moment later... a researcher looked at the floor riddled with holes every few steps and the Black Tower Lady disappearing at the end of the corridor, and asked the person next to him curiously.

"What is Ms. Black Tower doing..."

"Don't overthink it. Lady Black Tower is either testing the strength of the space station or testing the performance of the artifacts."

"What strange thing?"

"It might be that guy who ran super fast just now."

"Such a strange object exists?!"

"It's alright. Everything Lady Black Tower does has a deeper meaning; it's just that we are too ignorant to understand it."
