NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24: Continuously Revealed Lore! Eye-Catching Battles!
They couldn't help but worry about Herta's safety and the station's survival. With more settings revealed earlier, they eagerly anticipated what would happen next.
Will the Herta space station survive the attack of the anti-matter legion?
-------------------------------------------------
With the help of Silver Wolf, Kafka quickly found the location where the Stellaron was stored. At the same time, the carrier was activated and Stelle slowly appeared. After Kafka implanted the Stellaron, thanks to Kafka's words, the Stellaron Hunter's image became more concrete. The dialogue also hinted at the relationship between Stelle and the Stellaron Hunters.
Subsequently, Kafka and Silver Wolf exited the scene. Stelle, in a state of unconsciousness, encountered March 7th and Dan Heng from the train crew. Seeing Stelle's condition, March 7th, with no other options, awkwardly attempted to perform artificial respiration. Female viewers and many amused onlookers were wide-eyed at this moment. However, it turned out to be a false alarm. Dan Heng noticed Stelle waking up and immediately stopped March 7th from continuing the artificial respiration. This scene left many viewers feeling regretful.
Viewer Comments:
"You took off your pants and showed me this?"
"Dan Heng, well done (gritting teeth)."
"March 7th, kiss her right now!"
"Beautiful women should kiss each other!"
"Yuri matters too!"
The comments were a chaotic mix of excitement and humor, and the atmosphere was lively. March 7th, as the lead actress, covered her mouth and laughed with her eyes squinted in amusement at the screen and comments.
Dan Heng, meanwhile, remained seated with his brother Blade, both of them expressionless, as if they had been cast from the same mold.
The story accelerated rapidly. As a series, it had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was the larger space for performance, allowing for detailed portrayal of aspects and characters that couldn't be depicted in the game. The downside was losing the game's natural immersion. So, in the following episodes, Xia Wen heavily emphasized on details and descriptions.
The Herta Space Station, under siege by the Anti-Matter Legion, showed the staff's resistance and the brutality and destruction brought by the legion members. With compartments being breached and major nodes disconnected, it felt as if people were trapped on an isolated island. The concept of Aeons also emerged from the staff's discussions. Worse, the staff trying to change the dire situation kept receiving news of sacrifices. The oppressive atmosphere, along with one bad news after another, kept viewers on edge.
Viewer Comments:
"Wow, these Anti-Matter Legion are really fierce; they can actually annihilate matter."
"Destruction Aeon Nanook, these Anti-Matter Legion must be his subordinates."
"But didn't they say earlier that the Herta is a member of the Genius Club? The Genius Club seems to follow a Aeon named Nous. How can a Aeon's subordinates be so ineffective?"
"It seems the Herta is not at the space station; the staff said if the Herta were here, these guys would be nothing."
"Ah, so they came to raid the place when the owner was away."
"Yeah, I initially thought the Herta was weak, but now it's hard to say."
"Where's Herta? Need urgent help!"
The viewers, not knowing the upcoming plot, could only guess based on existing information, making the viewing experience even more enjoyable. Those familiar with the plot, like MiHoYo cast members, had a sense of pleasure from knowing more than the audience.
Especially Herta, feeling both smug and annoyed, thought:
"These idiots in the comments don't know my strength. As soon as I make a move, the Anti-Matter Legion will be easily dealt with. Really, they even dare to question my strength!"
...
In the oppressive atmosphere of the plot, the train crew appeared like a beacon of hope. They began moving through various compartments, connecting them together. Along the way, they encountered various enemies. The dazzling fight scenes and action kept viewers mesmerized.
When Dan Heng appeared wielding a long spear, everyone was puzzled. In a super-futuristic setting, a person with a spear suddenly appeared. What did this mean? However, Dan Heng's impressive combat quickly won over the audience. Swift as the wind, fierce as a storm. Cloudlancer Art: North Wind!
Each move perfectly recreated Dan Heng's actions from the game and even established a new action system. Viewers even saw a hint of a dragon's grace in Dan Heng's stance. During a fierce battle, with urgent flute music, Dan Heng held the large spear in front of him, closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened them wide. "Ethereal Dream Awakening!"
The screen showed only Dan Heng merging with the spear and the spear tip seemingly piercing through the screen. In the next moment, the spear thrust out and pierced through enemies, turning them into ash. The spearhead, almost occupying the entire bottom left corner of the screen, continued to vibrate in Dan Heng's hand, with a graceful ink wash effect slowly emanating from it. The ink wash effect was not only preserved but exaggerated by Xia Wen!
The visual impact was at its peak. Before viewers could recover from the shock, a new batch of enemies appeared nearby, preparing to ambush Dan Heng. At this moment, several ice arrows flew past Dan Heng, freezing several enemies.
"Hmph! Want to ambush? Watch me!" March 7th snorted, then bent down and pulled out a large arrow with blue and pink hues from her leg strap, full of a youthful vibe. "Taste my power!"
March 7th leaped into the air, drew her bow, and shot a flurry of pink little rabbits at a large group of enemies. In the explosion filled with a youthful charm, many enemies were frozen into ice sculptures. Finally, the enemies in this area were cleared out. The train crew quickly headed to the next battlefield. It was only when they could finally catch their breath that they relaxed. The recent scenes made them reluctant to even blink.
"Hehe! I didn't realize I was so awesome!"
"This special effect is so beautiful, all pink and beautiful! Just like me!"
March 7th covered her cheeks, feeling a bit shy because she looked so good on screen.
The comments went wild:
"Perfect combination of action and special effects! Go, express crew!"
"This is true action combined with special effects! Smooth and natural, no more competing with mental power or void battles!"
"From today, I'm MiHoYo's fan!"
"March 7th is so cute! Waaah!"
"From today, Dan Heng is my husband!"
"Based on the first half, 'Honkai: Star Rail' has already outperformed all current dramas!"
"Hang in there, progress bar!"
The train crew's efforts gradually improved the situation and gave the audience a clearer understanding of the train crew members. At least it made everyone realize that this group must be the good guys.
On the bridge of the main control room, as the train crew was discussing the damage with Asta, the barrier covering the space station, which even the Anti-Matter Legion couldn't breach, was surprisingly pierced by a single claw! Through the crack, a terrifyingly huge figure dominated the view of the main control room section. The figure, resembling metal, shared similarities with the legion members.
As the barrier ripped with a creaking sound, it revealed the immense pressure of the threat: the Main Weapon of the Legion, the Doomsday Beast, had arrived!
