"Mr. Svarog... please don't be stubborn anymore. Can you tell everyone what you know?"
"Mr. Svarog, you said you were willing to grant my every wish, right? Clara's biggest wish right now is for everyone to unite... like... like a family."
"Over this past period, Clara has learned one thingresults from [Calculation] don't necessarily bring everyone happiness."
"Even knowing the world outside the cage isn't that beautiful... people still want to stick their heads out and see."
Clara stood beside Svarog, pleading with him from the bottom of her heart.
In terms of general logic, a robot like Svarog would not easily change the rules he had established. Turning an iron will with words? It was simply unrealistic!
However, the duo of Clara and Svarog was different. It wasn't a relationship of master and servant, nor was it one of employment. There really was a feeling of family between them!
Himeko was quite curious now. How had Clara and Svarog first met? How had they become a family like this? It must have been a wonderful memory.
"Evaluation system rebooting... Reboot successful. Converting variables..."
"Variable one: Clara's request... Variable two: The outsiders' motives."
"...Evaluation results updated: Handing decision-making power to the outsiders and allowing access to information regarding the Stellaron."
That burning history was projected in the form of a slideshow.
Starting from the Second Supreme Guardian, the voice of the Stellaron had followed them like a shadow. Researchers back then had already investigated the truthit was the First Supreme Guardian, Alisa Rand, who activated the Stellaron, causing the world to be covered by the Eternal Freeze.
But the Guardians of each generation chose not to make it public. For the stability of the city, they chose to hide it all while secretly searching for a way to completely destroy the Stellaron. Without exception, those secret studies all ended in failure.
Things had come to this point.
It perfectly matched the contents of the logs sent by Dan Heng. However, in the logs, it was merely mentioned in passing that they had finally reached an agreement with the robot Svarog and learned information about the Stellaron from him. The actual situation that had occurred was so thrilling and full of twists.
"There aren't many records in these few slides, but the history of Jarilo-VI and the legacy of the Supreme Guardians are clearly depicted."
"Whether it's the Stellaron or the Antimatter Legion, the disasters they brought were too cruel for this planet."
Welt also sighed. "But on this tiny planet, will and hope still exist."
"In time, this generation of young people might become extraordinary individuals."
"Yes, flowers that grow in such adversity are the most resilient and beautiful."
Suddenly, the computer beside Himeko began to beep. The two immediately turned their eyes to the image on the screen.
"It's a high-energy reaction from Jarilo-VI."
They had been so focused on playing the game that they forgot to observe the situation on the ground! The two couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.
On the satellite image, there was a mountain-sized robot! A massive, powerful body and mechanical claws rose from the snowdrifts. Its face was flashing with light.
"An oversized robot?"
Welt's eyes lit up. He quickly pushed up his glasses and regained his calm expression. "It should be a machine left behind by the Architects. This model of robot is somewhat beyond control. I'll contact March and the others immediately."
Himeko tried, but there were only unstable, chaotic signals in her ears. "The Stellaron's influence is too great. It seems we can't get in touch with them for now."
Welt immediately stood up and said, "I'll go."
"If things get out of hand, I'll step in. I also want to see this giant machine with my own eyes... ahem, the ruins left by the Architects."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
Himeko didn't plan to stay idle either. She immediately activated the satellite and fired an Orbital Cannon at the coordinates. She wanted to make that giant robot settle down a bit to buy some time for the members of the Express Crew.
While the machinery left by the Architects was not to be underestimated, the truly dangerous existence in this battle was Cocolia. She was beginning to show a special change, appearing to be assimilating with the overflowing Fragmentum energy. Various parts of her body had already lost their human characteristics.
Due to the Stellaron's influence, the satellite footage was poor. Just as Himeko wanted to take a closer look, most of the area was covered by wind and snow.
Himeko sighed helplessly. With Welt going, she wasn't worried about the safety of her companions. Unfortunately, she could only wait for the Trailblaze logs uploaded by Dan Heng to learn about the battle.
"Hmm..."
"Don't I have Honkai: Star Rail right here?"
"The current progress has reached the same day as March and the others..."
"If I continue, I might be able to see this battle in the game...!"
Himeko's gaze was complicated. If it were true, it would prove that this game didn't just reflect realityit could even predict the future.
After taking a sip of coffee, Himeko began to push the story forward seriously. She wanted to see exactly how this game would interpret this battle.
