Chapter 244: What! The Final Boss Acheron is actually an ally?
At first.
No one had reacted yet.
They didn't know which expert was asking such a soul-searching question!
They were simply marveling at the puppets that had appeared in the theater.
They looked bizarre and twisted.
Yet, they seemed to be suffused with a sense of sanctity!
Next.
The scene suddenly changed!
A beam of light shot straight into the sky!
Like a signal flare launched by someone!
Following that came the scene of Penacony's prosperous city dissolving rapidly!
The rooftops of skyscrapers, the pipes in the air, the luxury sports cars on the ground… all were stirred up by this gust of wind!
They disappeared and dissolved rapidly!
Turning into a large amount of blue Memory Zone material.
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded for a moment!
"Again?!"
"Round two?"
"The Second Penacony Incident!"
"By the Thousand-Faced God, what did we in Penacony do wrong to be destroyed twice in one day?"
"I'm numb."
"I'm tired, just destroy it already!"
At the top of a lighthouse.
A man was gripping the railing with one hand, gazing at the distant Penacony.
Beside Boothill.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Bro, why does this back view look so much like you?"
"Son of a b*tch! That literally is me!"
Boothill's row of shark teeth flashed brightly.
He never expected!
That he would actually appear in the plot of Honkai: Star Rail!
"It was truly worth it for me to rob the IPC's bank just to top up 6480 in this game!"
Next.
The scene changed.
In a sea of darkness.
White-haired Acheron and another person appeared.
Standing opposite each other.
Acheron's expression shifted slightly.
And in the corridor.
Aventurine's reaction was even more intense!
"That is… me?!"
It was just a pity.
This shot was only for a fleeting moment.
Aventurine only clearly saw that figure.
He still had no idea why he would appear in this scene!
Right now, his mind was filled with questions!
He wished he could fast-forward to the next version immediately.
To see what on earth he had done in the game!
"Fireflies to the flame, born to die…"
In the scene that appeared again.
It was actually Firefly!
After saying this sentence.
She turned and left.
Seeming to have made some kind of resolution.
"Firefly won the resurrection match!"
"I told you Firefly must still be savable!"
"Damn it! I believe it! I completely believe this trailer now!"
"Is this background music this lit?"
"The enemy that appears next must be the real boss!"
After Firefly's scene ended.
Stelle put on a strangely shaped hat.
Black Swan looked back from the crowd.
These were all representations of the preparations before the final battle.
Suddenly!
A blue dragon swam past the lens!
In the scene that appeared immediately after…
It was actually the golden, shining General!
The blue dragon circled around the General.
And in the center of these two behemoths.
Were two figures standing in the air!
Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan!
Dan Heng drove the Cloud-Piercing Spear in his hand, while Jing Yuan gripped his lightning-lord blade, making a motion to slash down.
"A combo ultimate, holy crap?"
"Jing Yuan is worthy of his 100% participation rate!"
"The General paired with a blue dragon, that's a guaranteed win!"
"Wait, bro, are you two in the same art style?"
"Look closely! Behind these two are more Star Skiffs from the Luofu!"
"Holy crap! The Luofu has come to support!"
"It's stable! It's stable now!"
"It matches up!"
"Everyone look above your heads! It completely matches the game, the Luofu really came!"
"Is Penacony being taken over by the Luofu now?"
At this moment.
Above Penacony.
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were naturally also paying attention to the situation.
Ready to support at any time.
On the screen in front of them.
This scene had naturally appeared as well.
Jing Yuan immediately revealed a knowing smile.
This was exactly the corner of the future that Feathered Spirit had revealed to him back then!
It matched up perfectly now!
This video must indeed be Feathered Spirit's work.
It could be treated as a leaked plot trailer.
And the next scene.
Was even more surprising and shocking!
In the sky of Penacony.
A circular gap cracked open.
A golden rain fell from it!
A voice said: "I will subvert this sweet dream."
"And create the grandest death."
The gap was huge.
It almost covered the entire city below.
Combined with the words in the background.
It really looked like it was going to destroy Penacony!
The onlookers were already a bit numb.
"Again?"
"Three times, three times already!"
"Penacony really has it rough!"
"Son of a b*tch! Is everyone today trying to destroy Penacony or what?"
"This voice sounds a bit familiar?"
"Why does it sound so much like Mr. Aventurine?"
"Golden rain?"
"Could this person be the final boss?!"
And as the perspective zoomed in.
One could see.
That wasn't golden rain.
It was endless golden chips filling the sky!
The figure in the air.
Held a gemstone in their hand.
Anyone with a sharp eye could tell, this wasn't just any ordinary gemstone; it was a Cornerstone possessed by the Ten Stonehearts!
It was none other than the Aventurine stone!
Plus this flamboyant attire!
Who this person was, went without saying!
Instantly!
Many people's gazes focused on Aventurine!
"Well, well… the final boss was actually right beside me!"
"So you were the final boss all along?"
"Old Aventurine, do you want to explain yourself?"
"Fine, fine, everyone's just hiding things!"
"Brothers, we've all been used as pawns!"
"This time I really don't believe anyone!"
"Before Feathered Spirit's official plot appears, I suggest everyone keep a cool head!"
"In one sentence: Trust Feathered Spirit!"
Now.
Everyone's doubts about Acheron being the final boss had been severely shaken!
The content that followed.
Only served to completely dispel everyone's lingering suspicions!
Just as the golden rain fell.
March 7th revealed a look of unbearable pain.
And in front of the Astral Express crew.
Someone stood out!
With one step forward.
The ground in front looked as if ink had been splashed on it, presenting a state of Nihility.
In an instant.
All the chips in the sky came to a halt.
And the person standing in front of the Express crew.
Was… Acheron!!
This scene.
Left everyone unable to believe their eyes!
According to the Family's previous description.
Acheron sat firmly on the opposite side of everyone.
She was the messenger of destruction and death.
Attempting to subvert Penacony, and so on…
But at this moment!
When Aventurine wanted to subvert the sweet dream and bring death,
At the moment the Express crew needed support the most…
She stood out!
Raising her long blade to her chest.
One hand had already turned red.
This was the motion of her about to draw her blade!
And at the same time.
The screen flashed back for a moment.
It should have represented Acheron's past memories.
In a gloomy scene.
Acheron stood amidst the wreckage of a battlefield.
Weapons were stuck in the ground all around her.
But there was no one living to be seen.
Only the back of Acheron alone!
And strangely…
In this flashback, Acheron had her long blade tucked at her waist, but there was a pair of horns on her head.
The others didn't think much of it.
They only thought this must be related to Acheron's past experiences.
Acheron herself,
Was slightly moved when she saw this scene.
She sighed: "Izumo…"
This scene.
Was something that happened when she was still in her homeland.
She didn't expect that it could be recorded in Feathered Spirit's plot.
This made Acheron feel incredible once again.
That a world which had already returned to "Nihility" could still be preserved in this game.
Did this imply a way to resist Nihility?
While Acheron was pondering.
There was someone nearby who was even more shocked than she was!
Welt saw this scene.
And was struck as if by lightning!
The hand holding his cane was trembling slightly!
In the era when they once fought the Honkai, that woman made a resolute choice.
Joining World Serpent.
Embracing the Honkai within her own body.
Declaring the return of the Herrscher of Thunder to the whole world.
Named… Herrscher of Thunder!
And this background completely overlapped with the Herrscher of Thunder form of Mei in Welt's memory!
Welt took a deep breath.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart.
If the situation hadn't forbidden it.
He would have wanted to go up and ask Acheron if her real name was Raiden Mei!
After this flashback ended.
Acheron's hair had turned a pale color.
Her pupils had also changed from purple to red.
Blood tears fell.
Red lightning overflowed from the long blade.
And the golden chips in the air were falling.
The two sides formed a confrontation scene at this moment.
By now.
It could be confirmed.
Acheron had acted for the sake of the Express crew!
This overturned everyone's previous impressions!
Several seconds passed.
Before someone exclaimed in a hoarse voice: "In other words… Acheron is actually… an ally?"
"For real…"
"Oh my god!"
"I think this video has expressed it very clearly."
"This…"
"An Emanator… is actually on our side!?"
"Lady Acheron! I was wrong!"
Many more people.
Were still a bit unable to process it for a moment.
This was a world-shaking difference!
In the previous videos, Acheron's power and terror had already deeply taken root in people's hearts…
Facing Acheron, everyone felt immense pressure.
The Express crew had even decided to bet their lives in the chamber.
As a result!
This video brought by Sparkle today overturned all those perceptions!
Acheron was actually on the side of the Express crew!
The final boss was actually an ally!
Such treatment,
Had simply never happened before!
In the crowd.
There were busybodies who reacted immediately.
Secretly recording this video.
And uploading it to the internet!
