[Amidst a sea of ​​stars, the hunters and the bountiful embrace, then music begins.]

"Don't postpone the results until tomorrow?"

【"Maybe we just slow down? Anyone but you's so wrong?"】

"When the music starts playing again, even our breaths seem to collide?"

[Akira and the Pharmacist began to dance in this ambiguous atmosphere. Sometimes they separated, sometimes they embraced, sometimes one pinned the other to the ground, sometimes they swayed hand in hand. But no matter how their dance moves changed, what remained constant was the lingering affection in their eyes when they looked at each other.]

However, everything has an end. With the last lyric, "Am I not in danger?", this long minute and a half finally came to an end.

Chapter 8 is all about shipping!

[March 7th: It's finally over!]

She squatted on the ground, clutching her head tightly, trying to forget what had just happened.

But no matter what, the dance moves of the two star gods just now could not be left in her mind.

[Aha: Hahahaha! You did a great job, you did a great job!]

It was not uncommon for Hunting and Abundance to become such an interesting pair of adversaries; He had considered it before, but had been unable to succeed due to various reasons. Now, the screen had fulfilled His wish.

Thank you, screen.

[Qin: Art can be eye-opening, but it shouldn't leave people feeling completely lost. To be honest, I think this kind of art is still a bit premature for humanity.]

[ScrewGumm: It's too early for robots, not just humans.]

Screw Gum thought that if someone had been standing next to him just now, they would have heard the creaking and rattling of the bearings inside his body under intense emotions.

[Jing Yuan: Guh... Emperor Bow Master, please forgive me...]

[Fu Xuan: Disrespectful! What utter disrespect!]

[Fengrao Citizen A: The Compassionate Medicine King has been... afflicted by the Demon Bow! The Demon Bow afflicts us all!!!]

[Tesla: A messy hairstyle... My understanding of relativity has deepened even further.]

Even though the video was only a little over a minute long, she felt like she had watched it for a whole year.

[Qingque: When I was a kid, I watched this episode and was taken away by the Ten Kings.]

[Kiana: Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. The hunters are killing abominations, not the God of Abundance.]

[Bronya: You idiot Kiana, what were you doing all this time? Your main job was hunting down the Bountiful Star Gods; killing monstrous creatures was more of a Celestial Ship's job. Lan only helped out occasionally.]

[Alicia: Thinking about it carefully, the relationship between hunting and abundance is indeed very close—since the fate of hunting lies in endless pursuit, after hunting for abundance, one must find the next target; otherwise, once the pursuit stops and there is no target, its fate will collapse.]

[Alicia: Rather, since the strength of a Star God is related to the breadth of their concepts, can the Hunting God truly defeat the Abundance? But the Abundance has never fought back...]

[Star: You're right, stop talking.]

[Black Tower: The story that exists because of you.]

[Researcher A from Black Tower Space Station: In a sense, Lan does exist because of the Pharmacist. Once the Pharmacist dies, Lan's fate ends. That's a perfect match.]

[Fengrao Min B: You beast, what did you bump into?]

[Researcher A from Black Tower Space Station: What, you disagree? Eating everything will only make my nutrition more balanced!]

[Masked Fool A: My friend, even if you believe in the God of Balance, you can still join us. The Masked Fool always welcomes all who seek pleasure.]

[Masked Fool B: The hunters have been chasing the bounty for so long, it's normal that they caught it, right? This tells us that we must persevere no matter what we do.]

[Mirror Flow: That's a chase! A chase! You guys who worship the Eternal Blissful Heavenly Lord!]

[Masked Fool C: Perhaps the Hunting and the Abundance have reached some kind of agreement in secret. They are only mortal enemies on the surface, and in private, the Hunting is just cleaning up those Abundance people that the Abundance can't easily deal with.]

[Fairy Boat Person A: Do you think we'd believe that?!]

[Fruitful C: My Lord would never do that!]

[Sangbo: Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Immortal Ship's free and unrestricted travel throughout the universe was all to eliminate the Abundant People, one of the three great scourges, and to strictly limit the venturing out of the world of the Long-lived race, preventing irreparable damage to other worlds. Isn't this also a selfless and altruistic act? The true lineage of Abundance resides on the Immortal Ship.]

[Goro: Oh no, what he said actually makes a lot of sense.]

[Nasita: That's normal. As ordinary people, it's impossible to be as pure as a star god, only doing things related to one's destiny.]

[Masked Fool D: Actually, sometimes I also want to kowtow to Aha and Void, after all, these two star gods are the embodiment of nothingness and existence, and their essence is a state of entanglement.]

[Masked Fool D: "Will this be fun?" "It'll be alright!"]

[Masked Fool D: Even from this ordinary dialogue, I can imagine a figure surrounded by countless masks and circus toys, holding a purple, semi-transparent, semi-solid object resembling slime. The figure is constantly grinning, and the slime's uneven eyes are darting around.]

[Masked Fool D: "Boring is pointless, running is pointless, so being hugged is pointless, thinking is pointless." "Hugging is fun, touching is fun, sticking to your hand is fun, biting is fun, that's so much fun, let's keep playing!"]

[The Fool in Mask D: The two Star Gods are playing together, but one is very happy, while the other is very bored.]

[Sambo: And you, my friend, you are the true messenger of pleasure!]

[Aha: Hahahahaha!]

[Eden: Everyone, stop arguing and let's appreciate the art together. After all, this dance is beautiful, isn't it?]

[Nilu: Yes, I learned a lot!]

[Lei Movie: ...So this is how people view art nowadays?]

[Zhongli: From a purely rational perspective, the dance of these two star gods is indeed quite entertaining, but just thinking about their identities and the relationship between them...]

[March 7th: I have a feeling we're in real danger right now, like we could be blown to bits by the hunters' light arrows at any moment.]

[Hu Tao: You reminded me. Anyone who wants a package at the Rebirth Hall can come and book it with me.]

[Kiana: What's that?]

[Keqing: The Hall of Rebirth is the organization in Liyue that oversees funerals.]

[Kiana: Ugh, who wants this stuff!]

[Estella: But after seeing this, will we really be okay?]

[Black Tower: We just observed a beam of light destroying a planet occupied by the Bountiful People. It must have been the Huntress. He seems very angry—after all, he is still young and retains many human emotions.]

[Black Tower: Conversely, no actions by the pharmacist were observed.]

[Nguyen Mai: At least we can be sure that it's not just pleasure that can be seen on this screen.]

[Kaiya clasps his hands together: I hope you're all alright.]

[The screen lit up again after a while, showing the next video, "Honkai Impact: Star Railway - Current Status of Player Stereotypes Regarding the Star Gods."]

[March 7th: No! Spare us!]

[March 7th: Isn't provoking one star god enough? Are you trying to provoke all the star gods?]

She just wanted to live, what did she do wrong?

[Otto: Honkai Impact: Star Railway... Players? It seems my previous guess was correct.]

Chapter 9 Is Our Story Just a Game?

[Honkai Impact: Star Railway] Welt Yang: You mean...

He made a very terrible guess.

[Otto: Ah, that's right. In another world, perhaps our story is just a game.]

[Tesla: This is what you were guessing before... truly astonishing.]

[March 7th: Does this kind of thing really exist?]

Does this mean their fates are manipulated, and they are merely a group of puppets being controlled?

[Einstein: Since other worlds exist, this kind of thing isn't impossible. There's a saying—give a monkey a computer and unlimited time, and one day he'll be able to type out a copy of Hamlet.]

[Black Tower: Perhaps there are information disturbances between worlds... Hmm, a good conjecture, worth verifying.]

[Alicia: Everyone, don't be so nervous. At least, I don't feel like my actions are being manipulated.]

[A cheerful yet somewhat silly piece of music begins, and the name of the first fan-created Star God appears on the screen.]

【Joyful Aha】

A monkey runs freely and carefree on the beach.

【Hunting the Storm】

Two men were fighting in the heavy rain, while a girl stood by helplessly, pleading with them to stop.

Destroy Nanook

A man suddenly stood up from his chair, picked up the keyboard, and smashed it against the computer screen in front of him. He then swung a stick next to him and smashed the computer screen off the table.

【Void IX】

[A two-dimensional girl, seemingly having seen through everything, slumped in a chair, motionless.]

【Memories of the Past】

A man dressed as an emperor raised his wine cup and took a sip.

【Fengrao Pharmacist】

[A blatantly fake drug advertisement was playing on television, with a man speaking eloquently on stage.]

【Storage and Protection Cripper】

A civil engineer is working hard at a construction site, mixing mortar and building a wall.

[Wisdom, Knowledge, and Respect]

The blue mind spun, from which countless formulas and characters burst forth.

【Exploring Akivili】

Xing stared silently at the tombstone before her, which bore Akivili's information, but the dates of his birth and death were conspicuously left blank.

[Same as Hippe]
