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

However, the lingering doubts... still left a seed in my heart.

She probably couldn't even imagine how incredible the changes this uncontrollable, unpredictable Lemstein family would bring to the world.

......

The Lemstein family.

"How's the work I asked you to prepare going, Ralph?"

Swallowing hard, Ralph knelt on one knee, bowing his head respectfully, not daring to look up at Wallace.

He didn't understand; he didn't comprehend it.

How could Wallace have changed so much overnight?

Isn't he a notorious playboy?

And...who exactly is that person next to Wallace?

Why is it that even someone as powerful as Wallace still treats that person with such respect?

Could it be... that the reason Wallace became so powerful was because of him?

However, he dares not think too much about it now, because there is a precedent.

One of his underlings was stuck in the wall because he swore at Wallace; they can't pry him out.

He also saw Wallace fight a group of Iron Guards by himself, but he didn't kill them. It was clear that he was toying with the Iron Guards.

The impact of this scene was immense, like discovering that your cat, which you've raised for years, can suddenly devour a direwolf.

"Master... everything is ready."

"Report! Master! The Silver Mane Iron Guards outside have withdrawn!"

"They've withdrawn?"

Hua Laosi was stunned for a moment. After a transformation, he now possessed the qualities of a family head.

No longer as naive as before, a faint air of authority emanated from his eyes.

"Yes! A guard has announced that the Great Guardian believes in the Lemstein family, that the rumors about monsters circulating outside are false, and that you have been recognized as the successor to the position of head of the Lemstein family!"

"Interesting...looks like they know what's good for them."

Ling Kong chuckled softly and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Wallace turned to look at Ling Kong and asked respectfully.

"Lingkong, what's your take on this? What about Cocolia suddenly changing her mind?"

"It's alright, this is even better. We don't need to worry about her anymore. It's good that there's less resistance. Remember to choose the right approach. This is a test for you. I won't make a move unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Rest assured, my friend, thank you for bringing me hope and a brand new path. I believe... this path will definitely save Belloberg and rewrite everything."

Studying medicine won't save Beloberg, but Xin Lingkong can.

Together with the messenger, Ralf listened to their conversation in utter bewilderment, feeling a chill run down his spine.

I heard... I heard some things... After hearing them...

Does that seem a bit inappropriate?

Should he pretend to be deaf?! He's starting to panic...

What about changing the Great Guardians... what about changing the world... saving Belberg...

He doesn't want to care about anything right now! He wants to go home!

These two people are terrifying!

Chapter 54 Child... Have you ever heard of...?

Belloberg, a hidden alley.

This alleyway seems to hold the world's greatest secret, relentlessly drawing all passersby into it...

He then left, grumbling and cursing.

"What a nuisance! Where did this lunatic come from?!"

In the alley, Ralf looked at his underling with a lifeless expression, muttering to himself.

"You mean...you believe in this stuff? What Protestantism! It doesn't even have a name, this 'rebellious star god'...the pursuit of equality...star god, what's that? The 'protector star god' Kripper that charlatan in the square is promoting?"

Ralph, who kept complaining about being assigned such a job, sat nonchalantly on the lid of the trash can.

He held in his hand a doctrine written by Wallace, which he was instructed to deeply understand and comprehend its mysteries, and to recruit several active converts.

First Doctrine: There is no doctrine.

"?"

A question mark crossed Ralph's face, but he glanced at his little brother, who was also engrossed in reading a handwritten doctrine.

Surprisingly, he could read.

Scratching his head, Ralf forced himself to continue reading.

We are not a religion, and we do not restrict any living being that should have a free soul. We advocate equality and freedom, and every being with faith should be fully respected...

We help each other. Every life has meaning, and every life has infinite potential. We oppose the arbitrariness of the strong, advocate for, affirm, and uphold order. Those who bully the weak will be punished, and those who place themselves above the rules will be punished...

After reading half a page, Ralf rubbed his eyes, feeling that this thing was like the tedious formalities that family patriarchs, young masters, and young ladies had to learn, which made him lose all interest. However, thinking that his life was more important, he still tried his best to understand it.

[Disobedience: We oppose those who take pleasure in manipulating the destinies of others; destiny should be in our own hands. We oppose those who deprive others of their thoughts; the soul should not be bound. We are the greatest rebels in the universe. The path we walk is not divinely ordained, but follows our hearts...]

Although he didn't quite understand it, the "I am in my own hands, not in the heavens" attitude conveyed between the lines deeply shocked Ralf.

If the world does not allow us to exist, we will burn our own lives to ignite this starry sky, for we are the original sin.

After reading the last sentence, he was stunned for a moment, when a violent energy surged up and gust of wind, slapping against his back.

"No...don't tell me this is true..."

Ralph took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and turned around.

His underling had his eyes closed, energy was erupting from his body, and his entire demeanor was changing every second.

The little brother is getting stronger and stronger, while Ralf is left bewildered in the wind.

The moment the little brother opened his eyes, he immediately walked towards Ralf with a smile on his face.

"Boss...no! Comrade!"

"???"

......

After accepting reality, Ralph gained a different understanding of the handwritten doctrine.

This thing... is a life-changing artifact!

Thinking of the task Wallace had given them, the two could only continue to squat in the alley.

At least now I feel more confident; this thing seems to really work.

Just as Ralf was leaning against the wall in a daze, his gaze was drawn to a passing figure.

The light blue hair color... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

"Hey! Wait!"

He shouted without any politeness. The girl turned around abruptly and, recognizing it as Ralph, her expression changed, and she took off running.

"Hey, hey, hey! Kid! I meant no harm! If I did, may Ralf be struck by lightning!"

Upon hearing Ralf make such a solemn vow, the girl hesitated for a moment before stopping and looking at him warily.

Unlike the children in the upper-class area, the girl was wearing clothes from the upper-class area, but the tatters of those clothes were no different from those from the lower-class area.

Her cute face held a stubbornness and a wariness beyond her years.

"You...you...what do you want to do...I'll call the Iron Guards..."

The girl looks only six or seven years old, but she has already developed her own way of surviving.

Seeing the girl stop, Ralf breathed a sigh of relief and tried to make his tone as gentle as possible as he spoke slowly.

"Child...have you ever heard of...?"

"original sin."

In the hall of the Lemstein family, Wallace sat upright like a well-behaved student. This unusual feeling briefly brought his thoughts back to his university days, while deepening his respect for Ling Kong.

"So you understand?"

He explained his understanding to Wallace and smiled slightly in mid-air.

Although this was the first time he had ever created any sect or destiny, he didn't think he was a god because he didn't need to go through all that trouble in his past life.

Because from beginning to end, he never relied on any kind of faith.

Instead of relying on vague beliefs and worrying about whether your anchor will be affected, it's better to strengthen yourself. That's the right path. Relying on external forces will eventually backfire.

“Ling Kong… my friend, my mentor, I really can’t believe what you’re saying. I hope you won’t laugh at me. I can’t imagine what kind of environment would give rise to your way of thinking. According to what you’ve said, in the entire universe, each sect of destiny has its own star god, but we believe in ourselves.”

"Of course, you wouldn't want to know, but it's not difficult. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants and making slight modifications based on the characteristics of the world. You also need to remember that rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Doctrines cannot be inflexible; they need to be flexible."

Does this fit Belloberg's case?

"Yes."

......

Lower District, Rocky Town, in front of Natasha's clinic.

The three members of the train crew discussed it with Bronya and decided to go find Seele together.

After all, Bronya's clothes were far too conspicuous in the lower districts, and if she were to walk alone, she might get ambushed.

At that time, it will be in the middle of nowhere...

Upon seeing the four people arrive, Seele immediately began to explain the situation.

"In the last two days, a large-scale conflict suddenly broke out between miners and homeless people, and the scene was quite ugly."
