Star Dome Railway, I'm really good at swallowing!

"Do I look the same now as I did before?"

[Of course! You are still as beautiful as ever!]

"Then why did that replica, 'Paduo,' act dumb after seeing me? Even if the original wasn't very smart, it's still a hero after all. No matter what, it shouldn't have created something so dumb."

Another feeling of anxiety came over him, and Han Xing looked at his arm.

Follow her

Han Xing didn't hesitate and followed Paduo's joyful pace, saying, "Wait for me, Fa Chen! I can do it too!"

Five minutes later, in the white space, two figures were moving forward in a strange manner. They twisted their limbs like flapping hens, and their heads kept shaking like revelers in a nightclub.

[Host, please don't go crazy. You look like this and it will affect your image.]

Han Xing said indifferently, "What are you afraid of? We are in the spiritual realm now. Who can see us? Besides, it's all white here. It will be so boring if I don't find some fun for myself!"

[Host, the system reminds you that Dr. Mebius can observe your every move through the manipulation system.]

outside world.

"Little white mouse! What on earth are you doing?" Mebius covered her face and looked up at the sky. Of course, she couldn't see the sky now.

Thinking of Han Xing's actions, she sighed sincerely: I didn't expect that I, Mobius, who has been smart all my life, would end up falling in love with a fool.

Just as Mebius looked up at the sky, she suddenly remembered a business behind her.

"Doctor, what are you doing?"

The extremely familiar voice made Mebius freeze in place, her mind going blank for a moment. She almost unconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"How...how...is it possible?!" Mebius murmured subconsciously.

A small figure slowly emerged from the darkness. It had short green hair and emerald green pupils, with its right eye covered by gauze. Its face was expressionless, and in its hands was a thick book.

"Doctor, why do you look like that?"

"...Klein?"

"I'm listening, Doctor."

"..."

Mebius just stared at the armed puppet in front of him, and the dull expression of surprise on his face was slowly suppressed by her.

After a long while, Mebius said calmly, "It's nothing. I'm just doing some experiments. Don't worry about it... or you don't need to care about it. You can leave first. I want to stay here alone."

After just a moment's staring, Mebius was certain that the 'Klein' before him was not the one he knew, but merely a poor imitation of the 'Star Core'.

Mobius now finally understood Han Xing's feelings, and finally knew why Han Xing would rather give up the powerful skills of the Yingjies than devour their clones.

The appearance of the person he cherished so much was impersonated by someone else. No matter how angry he was, he could not use the most cruel means against that face. It would be better to say that Han Xing's character was far beyond that of an ordinary person because he could be so cruel as to wield the knife.

"After we go back, we have to give the little white mouse some psychological counseling. Look at what the child has been forced into." Mebius sighed as he watched Han Xing, who was still moving forward while going crazy with the 'Pado' clone in the experimental instrument.

Then he typed something on the keyboard on the console.

In the spiritual space of the egg.

When Han Xing was flying with 'Paduo', he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arm.

"Don't be crazy! Klein just showed up. She might have seen you. Although she didn't say anything, I think we don't have much time. She'll report this to the messenger sooner or later."

"'Klein'?...A clone?" Han Xing also guessed it, but she really had no other choice now. She couldn't just go to face the mentally retarded clone in front of her, who couldn't even speak a word clearly.

Another burning sensation.

"Take the blue pill and grab that 'Pado'."

"By the way, you have to eat it in one gulp, otherwise it might not work."

Han Xing didn't know where to begin complaining. Putting aside the pill issue, couldn't she finish her words in one go? She insisted on separating them. Her arms were almost completely engraved with characters... No, words!

Han Xing disappeared from the spot in a flash, and while moving his body, he pressed the extremely happy 'Paduo' to the ground with one hand, then took out a blue "small" pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

“——Ahem!”

After hitting his chest several times, Han Xing was not choked to death by this thing.

When she came to her senses again, she found that the surroundings were no longer covered in white.

In front of Han Xing was a huge and majestic Romanesque church, which stretched towards the sky like a magnificent and solemn palace.

The outer walls of the church were made of solid stone, which was covered with exquisite reliefs and patterns. However, the artistic sculptures that should have made people feel extremely sacred now made Han Xing feel extremely awkward.

A towering spire stands at the top of the church, covered with dazzling gold foil, sparkling in the sunlight.

Han Xing walked forward. The main entrance of the church was a pair of huge and heavy bronze doors. Various religious patterns and biblical stories should have been cast on the doors, but now they were carved with strange pictures.

The saints and angels on both sides of the door have now been replaced by a glowing "star core" and a strange-looking "messenger of God".

Just as Han Xing was hesitating whether to open the door and observe carefully, the door in front of him suddenly opened by itself. At the same time, a voice came from behind the door.

"Welcome, outsider."

church.

Tall vaults converge from all sides, like a pair of giant arms guarding this magnificent temple. The murals and stained glass windows on the vaults emit a soft light, illuminating the entire interior space.

Han Xing stood in the center of the tall nave and looked around. Above the side aisles were rows of semicircular vaults, each covered with exquisite murals.

In the void, a woman was pierced by an arrow. Her figure began to dissipate like a candle in the wind. Suddenly, countless stars suddenly fell, and a ball of light emitting a strange glow slowly appeared before their eyes.

The girl seemed to say something to the ball of light, and then, the space that had originally turned into nothingness began to transform, returning it to its original appearance...

"Is this...'The Paradise of the Past'?" Han Xing looked at the mural, which depicted the present-day Paradise of the Past.

After looking at the murals, Han Xing looked around.

"Strange, there is obviously no one around. Who said that before?" Han Xing still remembered that she originally planned to observe the surroundings before deciding whether to go in.

The church door opened on its own, and they even said they welcome her. But now the church is empty, with no one in sight.

But...Han Xing has no other choice now. She can only bite the bullet and continue looking for new clues in the church.

Han Xing walked along the side aisle. Chapels and prayer rooms appeared around the aisle. Wooden benches and altars were placed in the chapels, and statues of "Star Core" and "God's Messenger" were hung on the walls.

Among them, countless Yingjie clones knelt in front of statues and icons as if praying, like the most devout believers.

Han Xing's heart was filled with alarm, and his eyes looked vigilantly at the clones, fearing that these guys would suddenly attack.

But after a long time, Han Xing discovered that these clones might not have seen him at all. They were as if frozen there by a spell and could not move. If it were not for the energy fluctuations unique to will-bodies emanating from their bodies, Han Xing would have thought these guys were statues.

Suddenly, the arm felt a burning sensation again.

Han Xing looked down and saw another line of small words appear on his arm.

The Egg's mental space has exceeded my expectations. Be careful and avoid conflict with them now. The number of clones around is too great to count. Keep moving forward.

Han Xing finally received another message from Mobius, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't much practical help, it was at least a little comforting.

After glancing at the countless clones around him again and making sure that they were indeed not making any movements, Han Xing decisively continued to walk forward along the side corridor.

But just as she took a step forward, the countless clones in the chapel's altar suddenly opened their eyes that were closed in prayer, and turned their heads to look at Han Xing who was leaving with strange eyes.

That gaze seemed to have no intention of observing anything, and Han Xing actually didn't notice it at all. And the clones just watched, then a strange smile appeared on their faces at the same time, as if they had seen something that would make them happy for a whole year.

The replica just watched without making any further movement.

......

Continuing forward, Han Xing finally arrived at the main altar of the church.

Burning candles emit a faint fragrance, and tall marble columns or ornate sculptures surround it.

A glowing crystal was placed on the altar, slowly rotating. Han Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over, his eyes fixed on the object that looked like a star core.

She hurriedly asked in her mind, "System, is this a star core?"

【Detecting...】

[Detection successful. 】

[The energy fluctuation of this substance is 0, which does not meet the criteria for "star core".]

【Not a 'star core'.】

"Sure enough...I was wondering why I didn't have the urge to swallow this thing in one gulp?!"

【...】

[Host please always pay attention to your own mental health. 】

Han Xing ignored the system's teasing and looked ahead. A large mural stood tall and majestic before her.

In the mural, a young woman embraced thirteen "Life Seals," the star core above her head blazing like a blazing sun. With a wave of her hand, countless black shadows began to coalesce, their appearance exactly like Ying Jie's.

"Is this the process of creating a clone?" Han Xing couldn't help but murmur as he looked at the mural on the wall.

"As for... the guy holding the seal of life, I always feel that he looks very familiar. It's a pity that the mural is still too abstract. Otherwise, we can confirm the appearance of the 'divine messenger'."

Han Xing stood up and methodically swept around the main altar, but he still found nothing except the thing that looked like a star core.

Just when she was planning to go back and find a clone to hypnotize, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Ms. Han Xing, welcome to our world."

Han Xing suddenly turned around and saw a girl with purple hair suddenly appear in front of her.

The face is almost beautiful to perfection, and the elf-like ears add a touch of agility to it.

"Alice... No! The Herrscher of Corrosion?!!!" Han Xing looked at the person who came in shock, and instantly understood why he felt familiar when he saw the mural before.

"What are you doing..." Han Xing was about to ask something when the Herrscher of Corrosion interrupted her.

"You want to ask... why I am still alive?" The Herrscher of Corrosion said as he looked at the murals around him.

"Actually, haven't you seen it before?"

"I was pierced by Alicia's arrow. She was determined to kill me, even at the cost of destroying the entire 'Paradise of the Past'. But unfortunately, I didn't die immediately."

Having said this, the Herrscher of Corrosion's expression became pious and crazy, his eyes fixed on the fake "Star Core" in the altar in front of him.

"Just when I was in despair, I met 'God'. He was the real 'God', not some fake God created by AI!!!"

"It gave me the chance to make a wish, it gave me the chance to live, and it gave me a reason to live."

The Herrscher of Corrosion looked at Han Xing, her eyes expressing neither joy nor sorrow. She spoke calmly, "Actually, I already noticed it when you first entered the 'Paradise of the Past', but I didn't deal with you directly. I chose to observe you instead."

"I don't know how much time I've spent in this paradise, or how long I've been fighting with Alicia. And during all this time, Han Xing... you're the only outsider who's appeared here."

"At first, I simply thought you had stumbled in here by mistake, and once you found a way out, you would leave and never come back here again. Or, you would be trapped and die here."

"But you repaired the 'Elysian Halls' and even awakened the life seal of 'Ying Jie'. Although it was the weakest one, it did surprise me. After that, I kept an eye on you, watching you get closer and closer to the 'Eternal Paradise'."

"I became increasingly curious about you, so I harnessed the power of the Star Core and asked it questions about you. Surprisingly, I learned that you also have a Star Core within you. This is also why the God can sense your presence. Since then, I've become even more interested in you!"

"From your conversation with Mebius and other heroes, I learned something."

Han Xing: "What's the matter?"

The Herrscher of Erosion smiled. That smile was beautiful, but it made Han Xing feel uncomfortable all over.

"You are not from this world, but you traveled through time..."

Han Xing's pupils shrank as she heard the Herrscher of Corrosion continue, "Of course, this isn't really a secret. Mebius and Velvet have already guessed it."

Han Xing was getting impatient. She stared at the Herrscher of Corrosion and said, "You must be the 'divine messenger' the clone mentioned. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."

The Herrscher of Corrosion chuckled upon hearing this. "Even if I don't tell you, what can you do to me... But I don't want to make you angry. Since you know our story, I have a question for you."

Han Xing raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slowly.

Herrscher of Corrosion: "I want to know... am I so evil that I want to survive?"
