Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Dan Heng turned his head and looked out the window.

On the street, many company employees dressed in black armor walked back and forth, while many residents huddled to the side, trembling with fear.

"Can a person truly be happy if all they do in their life is work assigned by others?" Dan Heng pondered.

Hearing this, Bronya also raised her eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

“Mr. Danheng, the CEO said something similar before he and his mother left.”

"Huh? What did he say?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

He said, "How can anyone be born to be a beast of burden?"

Bronya said seriously:

"The CEO said that he had verified Topa's background. Indeed, given what happened to his hometown, Topa probably saw being acquired by the company as a good way to keep Belloberg alive."

"But there is another very important matter that was not mentioned in the letter."

Bronya said in a deep voice:

"Not all worlds that accept the company's terms are saved."

……

Rivet Town.

At this time, a large number of people had gathered here.

In addition to Jepard's army, and Toppa and Swaro, two more people joined the force.

Cocolia stood on the high ground, silently gazing at Topa below, and said in a deep voice:

“Miss Topa, you still came here after all.”

"Ms. Cocolia..." Topa looked up at Cocolia standing on the broken stone steps and asked in confusion:

"Why are you here? And why did you send people to stop me...?"

You should have received the letter and contract I sent.

"Yes, I did receive it."

Cocolia said in a deep voice:

"No one in this world is omnipotent. Even a star god has limitations, let alone an organization."

“Rebuilding the planet’s ecosystem is a project of such massive scale that it is bound to come with risks, yet you have not mentioned a word about them.”

Upon hearing this, Topa pursed his lips.

Cocolia continued:

"According to the intelligence I have obtained, the number of planets that have truly been revitalized with the company's technical support only accounts for 60% of the total."

“Ms. Cocolia…you don’t trust my abilities? There’s no need to…my professional skills…”

"Your competence is at 80%, which is 20% higher than other managers." Cocolia's gaze was sharp.

"But I will not gamble my people on that so-called probability issue."

"No matter how wonderful your promises are, a gamble is a gamble. This uncertain game of probability is not worth me signing this contract of servitude on behalf of the entire city."

"Only by taking our destiny into our own hands can we achieve true security. The preservation of the Belobello Foundation has always relied on the people's belief."

“Miss Toppa, if the company is still trying to seize the assets that belong to Belloberg, then we have no choice but to take action.”

Cocolia's voice gradually lowered:

"For Belloberg, the enemy has simply changed from 'snowstorm' to 'the company,' and the people here will never sell out their future."

"..."

Topa fell silent upon hearing these words.

At this moment, Schwarzkopf, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and looked at Toppa:

"Envoy, didn't you want to see those weapons? It's just a little further on."

Immediately, he raised his head and looked up at Cocolia:

"Great Guardian... Let's go and see together."

"..."

Cocolia nodded slightly:

"Ah."

Immediately, Jepard ordered the Iron Guards and Automaton soldiers to clear the way.

Schwarz led Toppa through the center of the army, heading in one direction.

Cocolia, dragging a black unidentified object, nodded to Jepard and slowly followed.

Jepard said in a deep voice:

"All Iron Guards, follow me and escort the High Guardian forward! Beware of any remaining Rift creatures around!"

"As ordered!"

Chapter 392 You Can Only Come with Us

……

"Why did you eat your own husband?" Yan Huan asked the blond man in an interview.

Rakshasa pursed her lips, her eyes gleaming:

"Because I love him so much."

"On our wedding night, my husband suddenly knelt down and said to me, 'Grandma ate Grandpa to give birth to Mom, and Mom ate Dad to give birth to me.'"

"I see..." Yan Huan looked at Walter's remaining clothes on the ground and asked in confusion:

"Then why don't you eat his clothes? Are you a picky eater?"

"..." Rakshasa remained silent.

Suddenly, the world before my eyes blurred.

After the darkness subsided, Yan Huan felt her face pressed against the cold cement floor.

Meanwhile, his own feet were being held in strange hands by some people, who were dragging him along.

"..."

Walking at the forefront, Schwarzkopf gazed at the distant rock face and said in a deep voice:

"The weapon you want is right here."

"Hmm?" Toppa looked ahead in confusion:

"I didn't see any mechs or weapons. All around are solid rocks, could it be..."

“That’s right,” Schwarz explained.

"Those weapons are hidden in the towering rock walls."

“No wonder…no wonder we couldn’t find the so-called arms factory anywhere before.” Topa pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, she looked up abruptly:

"Wait, you just said that those weapons have been hidden here all along?"

"So... the builders of Arilo didn't use these weapons at all during the great battle with the legions?"

An eerie silence fell over the air.

Cocolia gazed silently at the two of them, while Jepard stood behind them, saying nothing.

Only Schwarzro explained:

“These mechs have never left this place since they were built. After the company withdrew from this planet more than 700 years ago, no one has known how to start these weapons.”

"Based on the design blueprints left by the company, the builders constructed the first batch of replica mechs."

"But in the resistance led by Alisa Rand, the main force was still human beings of flesh and blood."

"..."

After taking a deep breath, Topa was slightly moved:

"...I see. The legends about this world are becoming more and more fascinating."

“I want to ask you a question, Toppa,” Swallow said quietly, looking at her.

"What?" Topa asked, puzzled.

"'Without the company's intervention, the world would be doomed.' Do you firmly believe this conclusion?"

To Schwarz's question, Topa answered matter-of-factly:

"Of course I believe it."

"Before coming here, I reviewed countless cases and came to the same conclusion: none of the worlds that have been invaded by the star core have been able to escape the fate of annihilation."

"Even with the help of the Star Train, even if things seem to be looking good on the surface... these are just temporary respite."

Toppa gazed at the towering rock wall and said in a deep voice, "Long-term crises often lurk beneath the surface of prosperity, and are generally undetectable to the average person."

“Understood,” Swallow replied in a completely emotionless voice.

"Hmm? You understand?" Topa looked at Swaro with great confusion:

"That's it? Aren't you going to share your thoughts?"

“The emotional readings indicate that your answer was sincere and accurate; that’s all I want to confirm.” Schwarzkopf silently observed Toppa.

"I have a different opinion from you about the future of this planet, but my opinion is not important because I am a tool, not a decision-maker."

"So, in your view, merging Belloberg into the company is the only way to survive, right?"

Toppa nodded emphatically:
