Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

Xing was a little alarmed, and gradually began to think in a bad direction, but Kevin quickly interrupted the spell.

"What kind of person do you think I am?"

He was not good at doing those things. He had never even seen what March 7's room looked like. As a young man with good moral character, he didn't even throw away the instant noodle bucket and he always cleaned it up after eating.

"How could that be! Brother Kevin, you look like a young man with high moral character and aspirations, and you are very kind to us. How could I have such an idea? Damn it...really!"

Xing retorted, blaming herself more and more the more she spoke, and she felt like getting up in the middle of the night and slapping herself.

【No need! 】

"Cough cough..."

Kevin patted Xing's shoulder and said lightly.

"She's just scared..."

"Ah?" Xing was a little confused.

"She was afraid of losing, so she used diaries and photos to record what she had experienced. That's what Ji Zi said, and I... can feel it too."

Kevin sighed softly and pushed open the door to the next car.

……

The dining car originally had a number of small tables, each of which was only enough for two to four people. But because there were not so many passengers, Jizi changed it into a long table for everyone to dine together.

There were sumptuous dishes on the table, with a hot pot in the middle, and Ji Zi, Walter, and Dan Heng were already seated.

"You're finally here? Please take a seat."

Seeing the three people coming, Ji Zi, who was sitting in the main seat, greeted them.

The three of them nodded and took their seats. Kevin sat next to Walter, while Xing sat opposite March 7.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. Remember not to waste food."

Ji Zi looked at everyone and announced the start of the dinner, but in fact it was just a formality. The rules on the train were not that strict. San Yueqi and Xing on the side had already started eating as soon as they sat down.

"The tomato scrambled egg rice bowl without the tomatoes is so delicious! As expected of Himeko!"

San Yueqi picked up the bowl and started eating, praising as he ate.

Xing was not interested in this and was staring at the hot pot in front of him. Under the table, his hand was holding the bucket of garbage-tasting instant noodles that he had not had the chance to eat before, wondering whether he should put it in.

Not long after this thought came to mind, Xing felt Kevin's gaze. He was chewing instant noodles and looking at Xing with cold eyes, as if warning her: If you dare to let me go, I will beat you so hard that even your mother won't be able to recognize you.

Xing immediately shrank his neck, put the instant noodles back, and gave up this idea that would put him in danger.

Compared to the roughness of Xing and Sanyueqi, Jizi and Walter's meal was much more elegant, especially Walter, who kept the same posture all the time, very relaxed...

Pam sat next to Jizi. Her chair was specially raised so that she was almost as tall as everyone else. She was eating her favorite Pam pie with a smacking sound. She was so adorable.

Danheng is very quiet and eats slowly. Just like what he said, "anything is fine", he is not picky about food at all.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Ji Zi stood up, raised her coffee cup and motioned to everyone.

"Come on, everyone, let's have a final toast!"

Everyone also filled their glasses with drinks or wine, raised their glasses and stood up.

San Yueqi on the side livened up the atmosphere and said excitedly.

"Hurry up! This is a rare opportunity!"

"I hope this trip——"

Everyone reacted and clinked their glasses together.

boom--

"——Finally reached the stars!"

"...Finally reaching the stars..."

……

After the dinner, there was no one else in a corner of the guest carriage except Walter and Kevin.

"What's up, Kevin?"

Seeing Kevin's mysterious look, Walter asked.

Kevin nodded. In fact, he should have told it a long time ago, but he deliberately waited until the dinner was over before finding Walter.

"I will temporarily leave the train and go to the cocoon. I don't know when I will return. To prevent certain factors, you take this..."

As he spoke, a golden crystal appeared in his hand, but it was very stable and did not leak out any breath, but the fluctuation of space could still be felt.

Walter widened his eyes as he looked at what was in front of him. Perhaps because it had been a long time, he was a little uncertain.

"This is... the core of the Herrscher of the Void?!"

Chapter 87: Promise in Illusion

"This is... the core of the Herrscher of the Void?!"

Walter looked at the core in Kevin's hand, shocked and confused, but still reached out to take it. The moment he held the Herrscher Core, he could feel the extremely powerful power of space.

After feeling it for a while and being able to take it back, Walter calmed down and asked.

"You said you were going to the cocoon. Could you tell me the details? After all, the train will start soon."

Kevin nodded, but did not reply immediately. Instead, he walked to the sofa beside him and sat down, motioning Walter to come along, as this would be a detailed discussion.

Looking at Walter who had already sat down and put on a serious expression, Kevin spoke.

"My purpose this time is ultimately to improve my strength."

"From your previous conversation with me, I can see that you don't have a thorough understanding of the Cocoon of the End and Honkai Energy, so I need to explain it to you in detail once more."

"For the purpose of this time, I can tell you clearly that there are two ways to improve Honkai or the End. This is the true conclusion that Prometheus No. 17 finally came to after acting on behalf of Honkai's will."

"Perhaps after you learned about the Cocoon of the End, a mechanism that controls fate, you once thought about denying your previous theory about the collapse, but later some reasons I don't know made you pick it up again."

Walter nodded. They had this idea and speculation at first, but after experiencing those things, they had to pick up this theory again.

The sea of ​​quantum, the man from outer space...

Seeing that Walter seemed to understand, Kevin continued.

"For the intrinsic world, the end is collapse. This is an indisputable truth, but collapse is not just a transformation of imaginary numbers, nor is it just a tool for the cocoon of the end to erode the intrinsic world after converting imaginary energy into collapse energy."

"The mechanism of the Cocoon of the End has always been the same: using civilization to accumulate collapse and judging the world as a Herrscher. The original connection between civilization and collapse has never changed. Civilization itself contains energy, but the Cocoon has added a mechanism to it."

"Regarding the method of improvement, one is what I told you at the beginning, relying on civilization. But relying on only one method is still too slow. So far, I have only connected the two worlds by following the development..."

"The Black Tower Space Station and its mother planet Azure Star have improved quite well, but the improvement of Yalilo-VI has dropped significantly. In addition, the improvement of civilization alone accounts for a small proportion. It takes time to accumulate if you want to achieve a rapid improvement, so..."

Kevin raised his right hand, and a pitch-black rectangular card appeared in his hand, with golden lines running across its surface. This was the most essential and purest imaginary number...

“So what I’m going to do next is related to the second plan: directly upgrading it from the root of the imaginary number side - the imaginary number tree…”

Kevin paused for a moment, because Walter was looking at the object in his hand with a shocked expression, and he didn't know what to say, and even spoke incoherently.

"This... this is... an imaginary number?"

The words just came out, but then Walter shook his head again and calmed down.

"This is neither Honkai energy nor destiny energy. It's not even just imaginary energy. There are also... rules in it? So pure..."

Walter's judgment was correct. Kevin nodded with appreciation and began to introduce.

"First of all, just like last time, don't ask me where this thing came from. I can't give you a definite answer. Secondly, this thing, like the cocoon and the light cone, is a product of a higher dimension."

"I didn't mention this to you before, but you should be able to sense it. Although the Cocoon of the End that is bound to me is not the same as the one in the solar system, their nature and scope are similar."

"They all occupy an imaginary end, so they have a supply of imaginary energy. Its strength can even forcibly integrate the imaginary side and the quantum side, but an end is still too small from the perspective of the universe."

Kevin paused, raised his eyebrows, looked at Walter, and asked him a question.

"Now that I've said this, you should be able to guess what I'm going to do next, right?"

Walter thought for a moment and guessed.

"Do you want to occupy more imaginary numbers?"

Kevin shook his head and explained lightly.

"The leap from one end to another is like the leap from one world to another. It is feasible, but it only brings about a quantitative improvement. What I will do next is to expand upward along the end. The closer I get to the tree of imaginary numbers itself, the purer the imaginary numbers I will obtain, and the higher the energy level will be. This is a qualitative leap."

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, he received a rebuttal from Walter. Walter put his hands on his chin, his glasses lit up white, and said seriously.

"This is almost impossible. The end is the result of the development of the world. If you want to go upward, it is almost like going against time and walking towards the past. With the time power displayed by the end now, I am afraid that it cannot be done at a high-dimensional level."

Kevin nodded in agreement and raised the shadow-layer in his hand and added.

"You're right. It's difficult to do it with the End alone. But with it as an external force, I don't even need to do anything to expand. But this also has its corresponding disadvantages."

"What are the disadvantages?" Walter asked quickly.

Kevin cleared his throat and said with a serious expression.

"This is an improvement with almost no transition, equivalent to an instantaneous leap, almost the same as ascending to heaven in one step. However, after all these operations are completed, what will be welcomed is the virtual counterattack brought about by the expansion."

"Because of my relationship with Cocoon, I cannot stay on the train. As for your power, if it is just a remnant from before, it will basically have no effect because the source is different."

"But now it is given directly by me, and the original part has long been covered. The Herrscher core in your body is the fixed point of the cocoon's projection of the intrinsic world, and it will inevitably be affected. I gave you the Herrscher core of the Void just in case."

"As for how to use it, it's entirely up to you..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the train announcement.

[Hey, he ...

[Sorry for the long wait, passengers! After a short rest, the train is about to depart and leave the Black Tower Space Station. Please sit tight and hold on...]

"That's it. I've already told you the gist of the matter. What I didn't tell you is not important now."

Kevin stood up, looked at Walter, and said lightly.

"So, wish me good luck, Walter. After all, since you accepted this power, you will not be immune..."

His voice became increasingly unclear, until after he finished the last word, his body disappeared, apparently having left.

He looked at the marks left by his body on the sofa, then glanced at the Herrscher of the Void core in his hand and muttered.
