Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

"Hmph——"

A painful howl was heard, and Kevin simultaneously shattered the phantom.

Kevin put away the Jiemie and turned around. He wanted to see what was playing tricks on him.

What came into view was a black and white body, golden fangs and ears... a pig?

The pig was lying on the ground dying. Kevin took the opportunity to take out his mobile phone to take a picture, and used the picture to search for the think tank's keywords. He got the answer in a short while.

Dimensional Piggy Bank: An interdimensional creature lost among the stars, warm in nature, sweet in taste, and inedible. Spends most of its life eating and escaping. Travelers who encounter it consider it a good omen.

Looking at the answer given by the think tank, Kevin understood that this piggy bank liked to come out and watch whenever he was fighting, and when it found that it was discovered, it would jump into the space to escape. But it was too stupid and was outmaneuvered by him.

[How dare you imitate Ah Ha for fun without any real ability? ]

The voice in his head mocked Kevin in his own voice. It seemed to like speaking in other people's voices more and more.

Kevin walked up to the piggy bank, which had already fallen to the ground and was dead.

Haha, you deserve it! I told you not to peek!

Kevin squatted down and laughed. He found that this piggy bank was a little different from what was recorded in the information. There was a black gem on its head.

This gem should be what I'm looking for.

Kevin reached out and took the gem off the piggy bank. The moment the gem left the body, the piggy bank lost its life and turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

The moment he touched the gem, the blessing mark on his chest emitted a dazzling golden light, and Kevin's sight seemed to be sucked into the mark.

Kevin's body fell down, his eyelids slowly fell, and when he opened his eyes again, it was a different scene.

I was standing on a cliff on the top of a mountain, and the ground under my feet was charred black, as if it had been burned by fire.

An inexplicable force drove Kevin towards the cliff, but when he was about to take the last step, his body stopped.

Kevin looked down the cliff, it was pitch black and densely packed...

"insect?"

Kevin wondered.

"It's a breeding swarm of insects."

A voice came from behind, and Kevin turned back subconsciously.

He was a dark-skinned man with a naked upper body, long white hair and a determined look in his eyes.

Kevin recognized the man immediately.

"You are... Nanook?"

Chapter 24: Changes in Skyfire

"You are... Nanook?"

Kevin looked at the man behind him and asked, but the man had all his limbs intact, and there was no well-known scar on his chest. He looked like an ordinary human being.

The man did not answer Kevin's question, but walked forward on his own.

Seeing "Nanook" walking towards him step by step, Kevin's body was unable to move again. He watched "Nanook"'s body overlap with his, pass through, and walk step by step to the edge of the cliff.

"Nanook" stepped over the cliff, but did not fall. Instead, he floated in the air. He looked at the swarm of insects below, turned around, opened his arms and said to Kevin.

"This is His hometown - Adrifen. This place has experienced the Emperor's War and was also swallowed by the Zerg."

“He walked in the end of the world, feeling the destruction, understanding the destruction, accepting the destruction, and becoming the destruction.”

"You are very similar to Him, but you will never become Him. Some of your abilities are not much different from that ghost swimming upstream."

"I keep looking forward to you..."

"who are you?"

Kevin asked quickly.

"Nanook" stopped talking. His figure became illusory and distorted, and finally scattered all over the ground. Then the space collapsed and everything returned to chaos.

Kevin slowly opened his eyes. The scene that just happened was like a knife, engraved into his mind, and he would never forget it.

He supported himself on the ground with his hands and slowly sat up. That person should not be Nanook. He had been describing that place and Nanook from a third-party perspective. Who was he? His breath...

What do the last two sentences mean? What is He expecting?

He was now hating the Riddler more and more.

Kevin reached out and touched the mark on his chest. It was no longer hot, and the black gem in his hand disappeared.

Could it be that it was absorbed by me just like the simulated universe? But I didn't feel anything this time?

【No, I got the riddle.】

The voice in my head retorted.

Kevin ignored it and lowered his head to feel his pocket for the gem. A flash of fire passed before his eyes.

When he looked up and carefully, Jiemie, who had been placed in the imaginary space, inexplicably appeared beside him and was floating in the air autonomously.

Why did you suddenly run out?

Kevin reached out to grab him, but Jiemie actually dodged.

Kevin: ???

"Come here," Kevin ordered.

Jiemie swayed left and right in the air. Does this mean he was unwilling?

Is this the birth of consciousness? Is there a sword spirit?

Kevin smiled with a dagger hidden in his heart and said, "Be good, I'll treat you to instant noodles if you behave yourself."

He didn't have anything worth showing off on him. The only thing he could show off was instant noodles. I hope that could scare people off.

Sure enough, when Jiemie heard this, he immediately flew over. Seeing this, Kevin reached out and grabbed Jiemie.

Kevin held Jiemie tightly and looked at her for a long time. Jiemie seemed to be aware of being observed and began to tremble involuntarily.

To be honest, the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire is not like the Void Ten Thousand Treasures. It has a shallow consciousness at the beginning, and has considerable wisdom later on, which can guide users to browse the knowledge contained therein.

The purpose of creating the Holy Judgment of Skyfire is just to kill and destroy. Besides, there is no remaining Herrscher consciousness in the core of the Herrscher of Flame, which is why it is difficult for a new consciousness to be born.

So far, all actions of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire have been controlled by itself or by established procedures.

Kevin doesn't like weapons that have given birth to consciousness. They are too unstable for him. If they are loyal, it would be fine, but the newborn consciousness of the Holy Judge of Skyfire clearly has a rebellious nature.

But it’s not certain either. If something goes wrong, just erase the consciousness in time.

Kevin restored Jiemie to the dual-gun form of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, and indeed, obvious changes occurred.

Originally in dual-gun form, the core of the Herrscher of Flame was split into two halves and placed in each gun, but now one gun contains a complete core of the Herrscher of Flame, and the other gun contains a black gem.

Good boy! So you came here.

The auras of the two guns are completely different. The one with the red gem is no different from the original Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, except that the energy contained in it is more violent. After all, it is a complete Herrscher core.

The one inlaid with black gems is full of the aura of "pure destruction", recklessness, anger, destruction, and although the words may be somewhat familiar with the Flame Law Core, the aura it releases is very different, with a feeling of chaos and restraint.

Is the birth of the consciousness of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire related to this black gem? Or is it related to that mysterious existence? It seems like a conspiracy.

Kevin picked up the gun with the aura of "destruction", aimed it at a fire monster in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

A stream of black light gushed out from the muzzle of the gun and directly hit the world-ripping monster, but the bloody scene as imagined did not happen.

The monster was slightly repelled and began to roar, as if to say, "Who is it? Who hit me?"

Then the roar turned into a scream, and the monster held its head with both hands and knelt on the ground in pain.

It kept banging its head against the ground, each time heavier than the last. Even when its head was broken, it never stopped until its body began to twist, swell, and finally explode. It only stopped because it no longer had a body.

Is it so weird?

Kevin fired at a few more monsters. He would have to try a few more times.

But each monster's performance before death is different. Some will dance, and some will twist off their own heads and kick them like a ball, but they all end up exploding and dying.

"This is outrageous..." Kevin couldn't help but mutter.

This style of killing enemies isn't destructive at all, why does it feel a bit joyful?

Kevin looked at the double guns in his hands, making other plans, and put his hands together, and they turned into a big sword again.

The power of the Law of Fire and the power of "destruction" are not mutually exclusive, and the two have reached a balance.

"Can you display just one power?" Kevin asked.

The Jiemie sword in his hand shook, and then the sword body turned bright from its original dimness. The breath of destruction faded away, and pure flames ignited from the sword body.

Then the sword dimmed again, becoming as black as ink, with black flames burning fiercely.

"Be honest, I won't treat you unfairly."

Seeing this, Kevin took out two buckets of instant noodles from the imaginary space, one for himself and one for the robbed.

After a while, the instant noodles were ready. This time the blind box was opened very well, with seafood flavor.

Kevin picked up one of the buckets, took a sip, and then turned his attention to Jiemie who was standing beside him. He was very curious, how could a sword without a mouth eat instant noodles.

Jiemie seemed to see Kevin's confusion, and it transformed into a gun.

What is this for?

Under Kevin's puzzled gaze, the two guns were inserted straight into the instant noodle bucket. Then, the soup and noodles began to decrease, and a faint slurping sound could be heard.

"Is it sucking noodles with the muzzle of the gun?" Kevin said in confusion.

[The muzzle of a gun is also a mouth...]

The voices in my head were also somewhat unexpected. Is it possible to play like this?

In less than a minute, the whole bucket of instant noodles was finished, not even any soup was left.

The Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire raised his gun, and bursts of hot air came out of the muzzle, as if he was hiccuping.

Then, it pointed the gun at the instant noodles in Kevin's hand.

Kevin naturally refused. He turned around and slurped the noodles. He finally opened a bowl of noodles with normal flavor and took a bite himself. He would not give the noodles to the cat. At most he could let the cat have some soup.
