Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

In the chaotic darkness, Xingyou slowly opened her eyes.

The halo of white light faded away, gradually revealing the cold metal dome and the soft white medical light.

A dull, burning pain lingered in his chest. The destructive frenzy that had swept through his limbs and nearly tore his consciousness apart had vanished, leaving only a weak, empty feeling.

My mind is a mess.

Fragmented, disjointed, and inverted images flashed back repeatedly—a pitch-black fog of destruction, a gigantic beastly shadow, a blinding explosion, and a distant, indifferent gaze that seemed to look down upon all living beings.

Who is that...?

Xing subconsciously raised her hand to her chest, her heart beating steadily, and the restless star core within her body completely subsided, as docile as if it had never been out of control.

"You're awake!!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

March 7th was half-squatting by the hospital bed. When she saw her open her eyes, her eyes lit up instantly, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. She poked her cheek with a mixture of anger and heartache.

"You're finally awake! You scared us to death, you know?"

"Rushing in headfirst to take that level of attack like an idiot, aren't you afraid of getting yourself killed?"

Xing blinked, her eyes still somewhat blank.

She remembered the bombardment from the doomsday beasts, the suffocating feeling of the imaginary energy rays pressing down...

But why he rushed forward, and why such terrifying power erupted from his body, were all unclear.

It's as if my memory has been cut in half, leaving only blankness and chaos.

"What...did I just do?"

Xing tried to sit up, but her whole body was sore and weak, and she felt lightheaded with the slightest movement.

"The power hidden within you is far more violent and dangerous than we imagine."

If it weren't for Uncle Yang's suppression, the shockwave just now would have been enough to lift the entire platform.

Dan Heng stood at the foot of the bed, his expression calm, his gaze fixed on Xing, carrying a hint of understanding and solemnity.

In a corner of the infirmary, Jiang Ningjing stood quietly against the wall.

His face still had a pale look from exhaustion, and the muscles in his limbs still ached from the strain of being hit by the shimmering locusts.

The brief exhaustion he had just experienced allowed him a long time to recover, and only now was his breathing finally able to stabilize.

No one noticed the barely perceptible rubbing of his fingertips.

—The "Destruction" energy bottle that had been pressed against his waist had just quieted down.

Just now, during the moment when the star core went berserk, the agitation of the "destructive" energy inside the bottle, the spatial disorder of the "materialless hand box", and the energy resonance of the star core perfectly meshed together.

Jiang Ning's resolve grew stronger.

This mysteriously originated energy bottle is absolutely inextricably linked to the "destruction" destiny of this starry sea.

He silently looked at the people in front of the hospital bed, and sighed softly as he looked at Xing's amnesiac and bewildered appearance.

Even if I do this much, the timeline will still converge, and Elio's "script" will continue to progress steadily.

Is the hand of "the end" invincible?

Jiang Ning's lips curled into a smile.

He just wouldn't believe it!

Belloberg, Fairy Boat Alliance, Pinocchio, Onfaros...

He would rewrite all the unsatisfactory "scripts"!

the other side.

Xing frowned, trying hard to recall, but all that remained in her mind was a jumbled mess.

"I...can't remember anything."

Deep in my mind, only a faint, gentle female voice lingered, echoing softly.

Don't be afraid.

From now on, just keep moving forward.

Strange yet familiar.

I can't remember who it is at all.

Walter had anticipated this situation and added calmly:

"That's normal. That level of energy impact will temporarily disrupt your consciousness and memory."

Not being able to remember isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Himeko walked slowly into the infirmary, her red hair fluttering gently, her smile tender and composed.

She looked at the awakened star and spoke softly:

"How are you feeling? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Xing shook her head.

"Much better... Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Himeko's eyes curved slightly, her tone gentle yet resolute:

"You are also a child caught up in this disaster."

She paused, her gaze drifting to the Star Train, silently moored amidst the sea of ​​stars outside the window:

"The turmoil surrounding the space station is over."

But this universe is vast, filled with danger, secrets, the unknown, and so much more.

You have no memories, and no ties.

Shall we... board my train?

Join us to explore the vast starry sky and find your own answers.

Xing was stunned.

Confused, helpless, amnesiac, and of unknown origin.

The group of people in front of her were the only warmth she had felt since she woke up.

"Yeah, yeah! It's just amnesia, isn't it?"

I don't remember anything either, but I still had a wonderful time on the train!

March 7th took Xing's hand and rubbed it against her cheek.

Hoshino looked up at Himeko, at the gentle Welt, at March Seven who was worried about her, and at the silent and reliable Dan Heng.

Finally, she nodded gently and solemnly.

"it is good."

March 7th instantly beamed with joy: "That's wonderful!"

From now on, we're family! Let's go on adventures together!

As the atmosphere among everyone was warm and harmonious, Himeko slowly turned her head, her gaze landing precisely on Jiang Ning, who was standing silently in the corner.

Her eyes held a clear smile and appreciation.

Everyone saw the battle on the platform clearly.

Mysterious technology, unfathomable methods.

But his reliability and strength are unanimously acknowledged by everyone in the train crew.

Ji Zi slowly walked up to Jiang Ning, spoke earnestly, and extended a second, more formal invitation to board the carriage.

Jiangning.

Your power, your skills, everything about you, does not belong to the existing rules of this starry sky.

It would be such a waste to leave them on the space station.

Her gaze was sincere, her smile gentle. She could sense that this "genius" visitor from another world was not content to "remain subservient to others for long."

"My train does not ask where it came from, nor does it dwell on the past; it only follows its pioneering spirit."

How about we board the Star Train too?

Join us on a journey through the world, to see sights you've never seen before, and to find your own answers.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

All eyes turned to Jiang Ning.

On March 7th, Dan Heng waited expectantly for his reply, while Walter, with caution and inquiry in his eyes, silently awaited his choice.

Jiang Ning looked up and gazed out the window at the glittering Star Train that traversed the sea of ​​stars.

His thoughts raced through his mind.

Boarding the train was part of his plan.

The best way to rewrite a "script" is to first immerse yourself in the "script".

Moreover, his own Demon Master is currently waiting for him to defeat Polka in the dark and sunless "River of Oblivion" in the universe.

Wander among the stars, spreading the seeds of cause and effect.

The hints that were given to me by dyeing myself were already obvious.

As for how to sow one's own "karma"...?

Jiang Ning's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.

Isn't Alan the best example?

What I have in abundance is the Knight System. When the time comes, I can distribute Knight Belts everywhere, which will not only speed up my completion of system tasks but also allow me to obtain more technology points.

It can also weaken Polka's accuracy in locking onto him, killing two birds with one stone!

And... isn't this so much fun?

Jiang Ning seemed to have found the meaning of his life in an instant, and his complexion even became a little rosy.

Staying where you are will only lead to your demise.

Only by boarding the train can one proactively move forward and take control of their destiny.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, nodded gently, and spoke in a clear and firm voice.

"I am honored that Sister Hime thinks so highly of me."

Then, Jiang Ning walked towards Ji Zi and slowly extended his right hand.

"Since the starry sky is so vast, I will travel with the train to witness 'pioneering'."

Himeko chuckled softly, and amidst the cheers led by Hoshi and San Yueqi, she clasped Jiang Ning's hand tightly.

"Welcome to the Starry Sky Train, Jiangning."

May this journey ultimately lead to the stars.

Jiang Ning nodded, his face beaming with a bright smile.

May this journey ultimately reach the stars.
