Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

He thought for a moment and realized that he could see the eyes of the Black Tower statue through the window on the 20th floor, so he pointed to the statue and said.

"You built this thing yourself, didn't you? The Black Tower?"

Clearly not expecting Ling Kong to say that, the old woman's expression immediately froze.

Upon hearing Ling Kong's words, Iris froze on the spot, her gaze frantically switching between the statue and the old woman, before taking a deep breath.

"You've actually lived that long?!"

My goodness! A living fossil!

She's lived for hundreds of years and still looks like an old woman!

The office fell silent for a moment. The old woman's appearance changed rapidly, as if she were aging in reverse. Her loose skin began to become tighter and tighter, and her complexion became more and more rosy, until she regressed to her familiar appearance in the air before stopping.

The clothes also changed accordingly.

After the transformation ended, Black Tower looked at Ling Kong with a puzzled expression and asked curiously.

"How did you recognize me? Do you know my original self?"

"Let's call us acquaintances for now, but you don't need to worry about it too much."

Confused by what she heard, Hei Ta jumped back, her petite body landing on the desk. With a gentle tap, an energy shield appeared on the walls surrounding the office.

"Very well, now we can talk without fear of being overheard by outsiders. Tell me, how exactly did you come to know my true form?"

Seeing that Black Tower was so persistent, Ling Kong organized his thoughts and asked.

"Don't you know what's happening outside? Your doll isn't connected to the internet?"

Hei Ta pursed his lips and rolled his eyes in a human-like manner.

"Do I look like I have any internet connection? I can't even listen to the news!"

"And what about your true form?"

"I've forgotten the password for my main body!"

Nodding, Ling Kong said with a sudden realization.

"I see. It's a pity you don't know how much the outside world has changed in this time. Has the Antimatter Legion updated its data?"

"Antimatter Legion? Burning Wind, Star Howl, Iron Tomb, Illusion, a giant behemoth who likes to treat civilizations as specimens, and a freak who likes to resurrect the dead and then destroy them again, Nanuk seems to have only these seven under his command, right? What does this have to do with my main body?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Kong sighed, his eyes suddenly filled with a complex mix of emotions that made the Black Tower puppet's mechanical core rust.

"Wh...what's wrong?"

"Do you remember the star core stored in the Black Tower space station you built? For some reason, the Antimatter Legion set its sights on it. Huanlong led an entire fleet of the Antimatter Legion to cause you trouble. You originally thought that your main body could handle it, but you didn't expect Huanlong to be so crazy. So you fought a great battle. On that day... the star was destroyed, and endless fragments of starships floated in the starry sky..."

"And...what was the result?"

The Black Tower doll swallowed hard. It hadn't been able to contact its main body for so long! Could something really have happened?

"That's how we met. I was passing through this area and saved the space station, and Estella expressed her gratitude! Oh, and I also have a photo of us together!"

Chapter 119 The Secret Deep Within the Insect Hive

Under the curious gaze of the Black Tower doll, Ling Kong conjured up several photos from the March 7th photo wall out of thin air.

Although he is Gluttony, Gluttony is levitation, which is a unified will. He just occasionally uses a secondary account to play around with. When he wants to use the power of his main body, he can use it directly with zero delay.

Looking at the photo in Ling Kong's hand, Black Tower remained silent for a few seconds before snatching it away and examining the details repeatedly.

The doll's expression... the wrinkles in its clothes... the details of the space station...

It's exactly the same as I remember!

There wasn't a single trace of Photoshop work; it even had a slightly off-putting feel to it.

There's a hint of the Flowing Light and Memory Garden feeling here.

She looked up at the sky, frowned, and caught an important piece of information.

"You said I went through a great battle with Huanlong, so why is the space station still in such good condition? Only the photo of the platform is a bit damaged. I don't think that my true self has become so powerful after not seeing me for hundreds of years that I could withstand the attack of a Great Lord of Annihilation without prior preparation."

Seeing that Black Tower didn't believe him, Lingzhong reached into his pocket, pulled out a small piece of armor, and threw it directly to Black Tower.

The moment the skin fragment was pulled out, an intense aura of destruction instantly filled the office.

"How is it? Do you believe it?"

After carefully examining the armor fragments, Black Tower looked at Ling Kong with a serious expression.

"This level of armor fragment... is armor specially forged by the War Forge for the Great Lord of Annihilation... How did you get it...? Huanlong... is dead?"

"Hmph~ Although I didn't kill her, I spared her life for now. There's nothing I can do. After all, it's because of someone's face. My brother Lingkong is super powerful. Huanlong is nothing to fear. She dared to challenge my brother Lingkong. You can imagine what will happen to her."

As the wind blew through the air, Iris got really into it.

At first, she was worried that her Lingkong brother had really saved the life of this woman named Black Tower... and she was also worried that Lingkong and Black Tower had some kind of connection...

After hearing the rest... I see!

What Black Tower or White Tower? Brother Lingkong clearly defeated Huanlong with her!

I feel like Huanlong is so weak...

Once you know this, everything else is fine; you can say whatever you want.

"So... this explains why the Black Tower Space Station is so well preserved, right? Your main body and I teamed up, you were in charge of dealing with the antimatter legion's fleet, and I was in charge of dealing with the illusions. It's that simple. As for the battle process... you can ask your main body about that later, but now it's my turn to ask, isn't it?"

After receiving and processing the massive amount of information, Black Tower nodded.

"Go ahead."

Why are you in this world?

Black Tower sighed helplessly and jumped off the desk.

He walked to the window, looked at the Bradians on the street, and spoke slowly.

"Based on the last memory synchronization of the original body and the accumulation during this period, it seems that the original body deliberately activated the independent thinking system of this body to breed the Star God Taizyuros, you should know that, right?"

Ling Kong nodded, and Black Tower continued.

"The death of the Star Gods seems to be a certainty throughout the universe, but the main body and several other partners wanted to explore the secrets of the Star Gods, so they started a great project. To complete this project, we need to collect enough data. We can't miss any data on every Star God that we can collect. This is a matter of respect for knowledge."

"This includes the confirmed fallen fertility star god Taizyuros. So I came to the place where Taizyuros had the most offspring, Blade. These guys built a hive here. They were probably scared after being attacked. The swarm treated this place as their home planet and did not devour other planets as overwhelmingly as before. They have become much more low-key."

"At first, I also thought that these insects had restrained their nature... afraid of being wiped out, but later when I was collecting information about Taizyuros... guess what I found?"

Looking at Ling Kong with a smile, Black Tower revealed an incredulous expression.

"Are you saying that reproduction might not be completely dead yet?"

"Not bad, quite clever, you know what I'm trying to say. Taizyuros, also known as the 'Insect King' or 'Sand King,' is the creator of the global locust plague. As the last member of the Coleoptera that rules the earth, his lonely desire ignited his destiny. Taizyuros transformed into a terrifying self-replicating force, an endless tide of proliferation. Theoretically speaking, Taizyuros is the insect swarm, and the insect swarm is Taizyuros."

Listening to Black Tower's words, Iris muttered to herself.

"Wait...doesn't that mean Taizyuros still has a chance to be resurrected? Aren't there still so many insects alive here..."

Black Tower smiled faintly.

“That’s right, this is the last piece of intelligence I’ve passed on. In the process of gathering intelligence, I discovered a secret in the deepest part of the hive. What’s in there… is incredible… Even the main body hasn’t dared to contact me for so many years.”

“Using some technology, I previously sent out an investigation doll that could emit pheromones to confuse the insect swarm, making them mistake the doll for one of their own. Just as I was deep into the insect hive... I saw hundreds of insect eggs, one of which was located on the throne... With just one glance, the doll was destroyed on the spot. Fortunately, the information was transmitted, and I told my main body to run away quickly, while I went into standby mode for hundreds of years to prevent being caught by this strange thing.”

Black Tower's tone was so serious.

I never imagined that there would be something so terrifying deep inside the insect hive. Just thinking about this experience makes the Black Tower Doll feel like its mechanical core is about to explode.

It was so bad that she would explode if she looked at it again, which is why she hasn't been online for so many years.

The mistake is that she is a puppet with an independent consciousness system, and she can also get bored!

However, Black Tower thought that after she finished speaking, the two would be very scared and ask her for help on how to resolve the situation or escape the planet.

Then... hehehe!!!

She now has the right to bargain! No wonder she's the Black Tower, the most intelligent human on Earth.

However, there was no fear on Ling Kong and Iris's faces.

Iris's face showed excited curiosity.

Ling Kong's expression was one of indifference and an "I see" look.

Seeing the black tower stop, Ling Kong paused for a moment.

"Huh? What's going on? Keep going, I'm still listening. Let me tell you, this kind of writer's block is dangerous!"

Chapter 120 Where did you hide the leader?!

"Hey?! That's the Insect King! A Star God-level being! And you're acting so calm... Can't you have a little empathy?!"

Black Tower expressed his dissatisfaction with his expression.

Ten Amber Ages... I've been bored for centuries... What if Cripper's hammer had been striking slowly? Maybe it would have taken another thousand years or so...

For so long, I couldn't find anyone to confide in, and finally I found two people...

The result showed absolutely no empathy.

"Empathy? You have the nerve to call me that? If you had any more empathy, the people on this planet wouldn't be like this."

Given the Black Tower's capabilities, it wouldn't have been an easy task for them to help the original inhabitants of Blade evacuate from the very beginning.

Now look what's happened, we've messed with some kind of insect king, and we can't even leave.

"Hey, if you put it that way, I won't stand for it. If it weren't for my help, the remaining Blade aliens here would be in a much worse state. Try to imitate the design of the antimatter core. I've prepared a huge one under this building. If it explodes, even the Annihilation Lord who dares to get close will either die or be crippled."

“You’re right, but this thing won’t scare the Insect King in the slightest.”

Upon hearing this, Black Tower could only shake his head helplessly.

"At least I gave them something called hope, so they didn't look so bad. I originally wanted to improve their clothing... at least give them a few sets of advanced combat suits, but I didn't think that much about it at the time. After we were no longer able to leave this planet, I found that the swarm had already eaten up all the materials needed to make combat suits. There are minerals underground, but even if you wear a full suit of iron armor, it's just a matter of one pincer from the swarm."

"Hmm...no wonder he lives in such a luxurious house, yet his clothes are so tattered."

"These clothes were left behind by the residents at the time. Luckily, I have a conversion machine that can refurbish these clothes. At first, quite a few people accepted them. Later, hunter outfits became a symbol of honor for them. Basically, one set of hunter outfits was for a lifetime. In order to improve their appearance, we could only make a batch of ordinary clothes from these things. Now, the outside world is full of nothing but bugs. Wherever there is a fiber, there are swarms of bugs. I don't dare to leave the bunker. If these people go there, it will be a waste of their lives."

As Heita spoke, he sighed, glancing at Ling Kong every now and then.
