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

"Xing! Why don't you believe me at all!?"

Black Tower gave a bitter smile.

As people get older, they have to accept that they're getting on in years...

I can't believe I just thought of trusting Ling Kong.

I'm so stupid... I'm so stupid... I'm so stupid...

Do you think you're writing a novel?

They even became friends after a fight!

Who do you think you are?!

A star god?!

......

After this minor hiccup, the necessary tests still need to be done.

He conjured a Minotaur from his memories while suspended in mid-air, and then wielded two swords to fight the Minotaur.

"Starburst air current slash!"

Although I can't figure out what Ling Kong is thinking, since he's willing to behave himself, let him have his fun.

With that thought in mind, Black Tower turned its attention to Star.

At this time, Xing was still adapting to her power, constantly fighting back and forth with the monsters.

"It seems... no new Star Gods have been attracted here."

Just as the Black Tower was about to shut down the simulated universe, the mutation occurred again.

The simulated universe is covered by a special type of ice crystal.

The Black Tower's incredulous voice came from beside me.

"He's here...!? No...it's not Him! It's another star god! It's—"

The Black Tower's voice was suddenly abruptly pulled away and frozen, as if it were sealed inside amber.

The entire simulated universe began to feel less real.

Or perhaps... the various gemstones... are too dreamy.

Chapter 19: All Old Acquaintances

Upon seeing the Star God whom he had only met today, Ling Kong sighed helplessly.

Why am I seeing so many familiar faces everywhere? (Annoying)

I just witnessed the destruction, how come the memories are coming back again?

However, this memory doesn't seem to recognize itself.

Ling Kong could only pretend that he was being controlled, and then support Xing back to back to prevent her from losing her balance and damaging her brain.

However, as he leaned against Xing in mid-air, a memory also flooded into his mind.

He saw a very attractive woman whose body was being stretched and deformed, and which was mixed with the umbrella in her hand, turning into water droplets that fell at his feet.

The perspective shifts again, and Lingzhong finds himself as a crying baby, embracing twins whose umbilical cords have not yet been cut.

Or perhaps there is a golden scar on one's body, with golden blood flowing on a dying planet.

He found himself with dark skin and a long robe that swept across the wasteland.

Such a shift in perspective makes it hard for Ling Kong not to complain.

"It's one thing to know you! But why are you playing replays with me? You can replay other people, but why are you replaying Nanuk with me?! Why are they all old acquaintances?!"

As if hearing Ling Kong's sarcastic remark, the perspective in his memory shifted again. This time, he was the swift shadow crossing the abyss, reaching out to catch the shooting star.

This strange scene reminded Ling Kong of the drop of golden blood that Nanook had given him. He immediately took it out and swallowed it without saying a word.

At worst, I can go outside later and use gluttony to thoroughly consume this destructive power, just to avoid indigestion.

Soon, a new memory flooded into Ling Kong's mind.

......

At the center of the annihilated galaxy, Nanuk looked at the fleeting streak of light in the distance and spoke calmly.

"Lan..."

What... happened here?

"there is nothing."

The Star God of Hunting stared at Nanuk, and after confirming that Nanuk would not speak, it once again transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

......

After reading this memory, Ling Kong touched his chin.

"so..."

So, she traveled all that way just to tell me this one thing?

It doesn't seem to be that important at all!

Who knows how Lan went to find Nanuk? There are so many stories among the Star Gods, Lingkong can't understand them.

I feel like a transfer student who hasn't even gotten to know everyone yet.

Then, Fu Li's voice suddenly came from the simulated universe.

"A flowing robe envelops you as you journey, your black skin exposed, you scoff as you explore, threads swirling and overlapping, weaving together words into an ocean..."

Every word He uttered was connected to one another, like a murmur, as if echoing endlessly in a space filled with mirrors, or like the surging of the ocean tide. Before He could answer from the air, He suddenly disappeared.

Ling Qi was left only in a state of panic and despair.

Damn it! Another riddle teller! Can't you speak more clearly?!

You old fool, I'll come over and ask you what kind of gibberish you're spouting when I have time.

Xing, snapping out of her reverie, looked reluctantly at the remaining traces in the air. She didn't want to understand anything about the baby or the flowing light.

All she wanted to know was what was going on with Kaffa.

"Wait a minute! Can we talk about Kaffa?"

Her response was only deathly silence.

He patted Xing on the shoulder, pretending to have just woken up as well, and slowly said.

"He probably recognized you. He's already gone far away. It's okay. I can tell you're carrying some burdens. Sometimes we all want an answer, but the answer... is something we have to earn ourselves."

"Success!"

Black Tower shouted excitedly.

“That’s Fuli. He thought you were the fallen Archivist and approached you—even better than I expected! Fuli is extremely helpful to our research because he possesses everyone’s memories and knows second only to the All-Knowing One! Come out, you two, I need to upgrade the simulated universe and stay in there longer!”

The Black Tower seemed to be lost in a frenzied murmur.

There was so much good news today, it kept surprising her.

Her head is spinning right now.

From "preservation" of Kripper to "destruction" of Nanuk, and then to the recent "memory" of Fuli.

She met three star gods today!

Two of them were simulating the universe, and the gaze of the third one fell on them.

Keep in mind... she's only seen the Star God twice in total!

If you can uncover the information behind every event, it's enough to make you famous and become a case study in many textbooks.

Before Xing could refuse, she felt her belly button being tugged by a hook, and she was flipped over.

When Xing opened her eyes, she found herself back in the real world.

"It worked! I need to tell Stephen right away—Star, don't just stand there, go back inside and see if you can say a word or two or anything else..."

The Black Tower's mind was still in a state of frenzy.

Sure enough, researchers are the most excited about this kind of thing.

But you can understand it if you think about it.

After all, compared to other knowledge, the Star Gods themselves are an unknown realm.

No one knows exactly how to become a god, where specific gods come from, or why they became gods. These are the answers that intelligent beings seek throughout their lives.

She poked Xing's waist and whispered in mid-air.

"Star, don't you think... Black Tower is getting a little too cocky? Don't you think the way she's laughing right now... is like a spoiled brat who's asking for a beating...? Look at us inside, getting glanced at by Star Goddess all the time, and she's still so happy outside..."

The malicious Lingkong is feeding the stars bad information.

That wretched old woman is wicked.

It's obvious at a glance that they're the type who, once they've used up their stars, will just leave them aside.

She's an absolute scumbag!

Xing's back stiffened as he was instructed by Ling Kong.

She said fiercely.

"You have no right to order me around."

Need to pay more.

"Oh, you're right, I got carried away... Sorry, Xing, you did a great job! If it's convenient, please go in and test it again."

"They really got a little carried away... that's really too much...!"

"That was really too much, really too much, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

What should I do if I make a mistake?
