Little Gui's livestream.
"For Tribbie's sake, let's leave it at that for now."
"But speaking of which... why does this white-haired youth seem so righteous and imposing?"
"You look more like the main character than I do?"
Little Gui took a big gulp of Immortal's Delight.
Continuing the story.
The atmosphere between both sides had eased.
Dan Heng also spoke up: "It's understandable. We come from beyond the heavens, Trailblazers who landed in this world."
[Will they understand...]
"They saw it themselves, no need to hide it. If they were really the ones who attacked us, they wouldn't have talked this much."
Upon hearing this, the white-haired youth's tone shifted slightly: "...Not from the heavens, but from beyond them."
"Wow, that's even more incredible... you two are lucky you met us," Tribbie exclaimed.
There really is something off!
First glimpse of the truth!
"What do you mean?" Dan Heng asked.
"It means we won't harm you, but others might not be so kind. You're fortunate."
The white-haired youth evaded the main point,
"...Let's talk elsewhere. It's not safe out here in the wild. As you saw, there are still many refugees trapped inside the temple."
"We came to rescue and escort them to the Holy City Okhema. That's why I asked you to cease hostilities and repeatedly confirmed you had No Ill Will. If anything happened, they'd have no means to resist."
...
"This white-haired youth is really meticulous."
"Not giving away any information at all? How am I supposed to Trailblaze like this!"
"As expected of the World Serpent's leader, Ancestor Kevin from another world. Such depth, tsk tsk..."
"We drifted here from beyond the world."
"Is this information crucial to the locals of Penacony?"
"Truly Trailblazing at a high level."
...
"I am Phainon of Aedes Elysiae. I apologize for my earlier offense."
Dan Heng also introduced himself: "I am Dan Heng. This is—"
Time for self-introductions again!
This time, there were even four options directly presented.
[1: I am Stelle]
[2: I am the Galaxy Batting Legend]
[3: I am the Galaxy Batting Legend who lost her bat]
[4: Why do I feel you and I look somewhat alike...]
...
""Classic Skill""
"Hahaha, seriously though, the male lead looks almost exactly like him!"
"The male lead's option 4 is [Doesn't anyone think we look like brothers?]"
"I picked the male lead, already laughing myself silly."
"To The Other Me."
"The male lead, Gepard, and this white-haired youth are practically three brothers!"
...
"There really is a resemblance? What a coincidence—in that case, we've become acquainted through conflict. Here, this is your weapon."
Tribbie also said, "And your spear, don't worry, we've determined it's entirely Xiao Bai's fault. We'll definitely make him fix it for you!"
"Haha, looks like I'll have to spend some more money treating HooH to a few drinks."
Dan Heng followed up, "We're newcomers here and still have many questions. If the two of you can ensure our safety, traveling together would naturally be the better choice."
"Please lead the way."
And so, a temporary alliance was formed.
Stelle and Dan Heng began exchanging information for the time being.
[That Phainon is no ordinary person.]
"I agree. Being able to disarm you in an instant and even sever this spear with a single strike—this person is far from ordinary."
"He's also very meticulous, maintaining distance throughout the conversation. I tried to gather information about Amphoreus, but the two of them worked in tandem to brush it off."
"But on the other hand, this means they aren't confident they can easily overpower us. In extreme situations, force remains our trump card."
...
"That's Cloud-Piercer, one of Yingxing's four masterpieces!"
"This isn't just the Cloud-Piercer's shaft breaking—it's the backbone of our Zhuming's finest craftsmanship!"
"Bladie: That kid named Phainon, don't you dare leave. I want to have a few drinks with you."
"Wow, as expected of Teacher Dan Heng. I hadn't thought that far ahead."
"Everyone (both sides) definitely has hidden strengths."
"Dragon Dan! So Dan Heng's trump card is still there!"
...
Astral Express.
The crew was also actively analyzing the current situation.
"For now, although there have been some twists and turns, the Trailblaze journey to Amphoreus is still under control," Himeko said.
"If we head to Amphoreus, this man named Phainon needs to be closely watched."
After overcoming her initial unease, March 7th had now settled down.
After all,
humanity's greatest fear is the unknown.
Now that they had begun to lift the veil on Amphoreus, it seemed this world wasn't as terrifying as they thought!
So far, everyone they'd encountered had been normal people!
Besides,
the entire Astral Express Crew...
No!
Players from across the universe were all analyzing the situation on Amphoreus together!
Under these circumstances,
there's no way they could actually stir up any trouble, right!?
Thinking this,
March 7th let out a long sigh of relief!
Her optimism and confidence had returned!
She felt capable again!
Time to focus on the story!
She even began to look forward to what thrilling developments might come next!
...
[Their timing was too coincidental.]
"That's another major point of suspicion. That spear that destroyed the carriage was clearly man-made."
"I suspected they might have staged the encounter, but these refugees... they don't seem like they're acting at all. For now, we can only assume they aren't aligned with the attackers."
[Your spear...]
"It's a shame the spear broke, but it bought us valuable information: Amphoreus's forging techniques can rival the craftsmanship that produced this Cloud-Piercer."
"It seems this world isn't as underdeveloped as we guessed. Perhaps in the Holy City they mentioned, we might uncover even more unexpected discoveries."
[Isn't it strange that our languages are mutually intelligible?]
"I've been analyzing various possibilities too, but... I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe this place, like Jarilo-, was connected to the Silver Rail long ago? But if that were the case, there should be records in the Data Bank..."
"Moreover, that girl consistently refers to herself using 'we,' which is also strange. I don't think it's just some verbal quirk."
"But compared to the other mysteries, the fact that we can understand each other's language is the least important point. Let's get moving first, hoping the problems will be solved—ahem... resolved naturally."
...
"Blade: Thinking about me?"
"Blade: HooH, walking toward me, are you~"
"WTF, Blade is still chasing me!!"
"Fun fact: Synesthesia Beacons need to be installed on both sides to work."
"Logically speaking, without external communication, it's impossible to implant a Synesthesia Beacon, which is why this is so puzzling."
"Note: Before the invention of Synesthesia Beacons, the company considered using Memory Bubbles as translator devices."
"If it's a Dreamscape or memory, it seems there really wouldn't be a language barrier..."
"Damn, the more you think about it, the scarier it gets, folks!"
"Could everyone on this planet be ghosts..."
