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

“Child, how did you get here with them? Did they bully you? You can tell me, and I will help you.”

"Well..."

Iris scratched her light blue short hair, and in a rather unladylike manner, she scratched her head. Seeing this, Ralf's heart jumped into his throat.

"They didn't bully me; they were very kind to me."

Phew... thank goodness I didn't say anything wrong.

"Then why did you choose to come with them?"

"Because... I heard them say that you can become very powerful here! You can become extremely powerful!"

"Oh? Then Iris, you can call me Wallace. I am the head of the Lemstein family. I have a question for you: what do you think power is for?"

"Yes..."

Wallace's question seemed to touch on a blind spot in Iris's knowledge, and she frowned in pain.

"Power... is what will ensure that Iris's things... won't be taken away by others! Won't be bullied!"

Wallace smiled slightly at Iris's answer and looked at Ralf.

"Where was this child found? Where are her family?"

"Master...this child...she might..."

He whispered a few words in Wallace's ear, and Wallace's steady breathing suddenly stopped.

Then he patted Iris on the head and said gently.

"Child, original sin welcomes you."

Chapter 60 What do you think the Great Guardian means?

"To be honest, we came here to find something called a Star Core, but I just happened to find a little... clue, right, Schwarz?"

Looking at Schwarz, Ling Kong suddenly felt that he had gone too far. He had clearly said that he would just let Schwarz help him spread the original sin.

Now... they're all going to become his underlings.

"Throughout recorded history, humanity has made several attempts to contact the 'stellar core,' and without exception, driven by human greed, they have sought to possess this substance for their own use."

However, the appearance of the air allowed Swallow to bypass the underlying logic and skip the instructions left by the city builders.

Human emotions always generate many variables beyond calculation, which Schwarzman found hard to understand, and emotions made him less rational.

Is this really a good idea?

Something beyond calculation.

"Mr. Schwarz...could you tell everyone what you know?"

Clara tugged at Schwarz's sleeve, looking at him with expectant eyes.

He gently patted Clara's little head, mimicking a leaping motion, being very careful not to hurt her.

Although Swallow had no expression, Clara felt a...warmth.

"We must...end the catastrophe in this world."

Xing slowly began to speak, and everyone present looked at Schwarz with expectant eyes.

A strange thought arose in their hearts.

Why does it feel like... I appeared at a slightly off time... It's like I skipped a level.

"Information regarding the star core... data and audio recordings have been compiled. Access immediately, outsider?"

"Wait a minute, Bronya, there are some things that I don't think are easy for you to accept right now."

Ling Kong interrupted Schwarz's intention to play the video, looking at Bronya with an air of schadenfreude.

I said I wouldn't open it, but in the end I opened it a little. Emotions are a double-edged sword; ruthlessness raises the lower limit, while affection raises the upper limit.

Schwarzlo's rapid change of heart was largely due to his own efforts, and he also got to see a lot of first-hand information as he wished.

Now... he has a new idea.

Previously, they were planning to have Wallace find someone to take over, but now... there just happens to be an excellent candidate.

Bronya, Cocolia's daughter...or rather, her adopted daughter.

“I have no problem! My will is strong enough! The will of the Silvermane Iron Guards is not so fragile.”

He shook his head and smiled slightly under the puzzled gazes of the crowd.

"Some things are better experienced by yourself. When you're ready, go to the Mechanical Settlement to find Swaro."

The longer Bronya stayed in the lower districts, the more her convictions wavered, and she didn't know how to describe her current feelings.

She knew that as a Silvermane Iron Guard, she shouldn't have these thoughts, but she still couldn't help it.

"These things...are really important to me! I can help you persuade the Mother...the Great Guardian! To reduce unnecessary conflict!"

Seeing that Lingkong and Bronya were the main contenders, the others wisely kept quiet.

"What do you think the High Guardian... means?"

"The Great Guardian! He is there to protect the people of Beloborg! This is the meaning of preservation, that is, protection."

“A standard answer, but it’s not enough, Oleg. Perfect timing, I also have something I’d like to talk to you about.”

Interrupting Bronya's attempt to continue, he turned in mid-air towards Oleg.

The truth is out, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll be going somewhere else to play in a few days. We need to make arrangements quickly, otherwise, it would be such a mess if we ended up fighting amongst ourselves.

Seeing Ling Kong's attitude, March 7th poked at Xing.

"What's going on with Ling Kong? Why does he seem so... profound? Was he like this before?"

"Before... well, he was quite the smooth talker, so maybe he really did something big behind our backs."

The two women whispered among themselves, but their gazes...

"Hey, hey, hey, I can see you talking about me."

"Ahem, Ling Kong, we're just marveling at how much you've sacrificed for the team."

"Really?"

"It's true."

......

“Oleg, you have to accept the truth of this world. I can give you a chance, it just depends on whether you can seize it. You can see that Schwarzro’s calculations have also chosen me.”

Oleg wiped the cold sweat from his brow; he had received an overwhelming amount of information in such a short time.

The cold wave that lasted for seven hundred years... was actually caused by something called the Star Core, and the person who activated the Star Core... was the first Great Guardian.

In other words, the Great Guardians knew about this.

However, he had no reason to blame the antimatter legion at the time, which needed to be dealt with more.

Seeing that Oleg had not yet made a choice, Ling Kong continued.

"Don't worry, our path is not much different from that of Earthfire. It's just that Earthfire is limited to the lower districts of Beloborg, while Original Sin is a bit broader."

The fact that he, the leader of the cult, had to become a missionary made Ling Kong feel incredibly miserable. He wondered when he would finally have a loyal missionary who would always follow him.

"This matter... is of great importance. I'm sorry, I need to discuss it with our leader."

"Oh? Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

When Oleg and Ling Kong emerged from behind the rocks, Xing's eyelids twitched, and March 7, who had already learned astrology, nodded solemnly.

"It seems... I can't be alone with Ling Kong. Who knows what he might do? Look at Oleg... he seems to have been greatly stimulated."

"Damn it... He doesn't even tell us about any big news first."

"Perhaps Ling Kong has his own considerations? After all, everyone on the train has their own past and a secret."

Dan Heng spoke calmly, like an observer.

"Including you?"

Xing asked curiously, but Danheng did not answer.

After finishing his conversation, Oleg took a deep breath and looked at Seele with a serious expression.

"Xie'er."

"Chief, what's the mission?"

"Next, I want to give you a task: protect Bronya. She is very important if we want to return to the Upper Zone. Let's stop here for today, take a rest, and we'll make more arrangements tomorrow."

"she?!"

Seele glanced at Bronya reluctantly. The young lady from the upper district, why did she need to protect her?

"Xie'er."

With a slightly more forceful tone, Seele nodded resignedly.

“Young lady from the upper district, let me make this clear: I’m only protecting you because of the leader’s mission. During this time, you should take a good look! The current Grand Guardian is nothing but a liar. She deceived the lower district with sweet words and doesn’t care about our survival at all.”

"No! The Great Guardian wouldn't do that!"

"Then go and ask the people in the mining town how they've managed to survive all these years."

Chapter 61 We Have a Traitor Among Us

The three train passengers, who finally had time to talk to Ling Kong, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Kong with complicated expressions.

They're still in a state of complete confusion, and they need a proper explanation.

Oleg...Svaro...

Why cram all that information into them at once?

The servers are almost down by March 7th!

After the "lively" scene ended, on the way back to the mining town with Oleg and the others, March 7th hurriedly asked.
