Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

In an instant, a blush appeared on the old man's cute cheeks.

"Humph, this... Of course I know about this kind of thing, those damn blind guys."

Sitrali crossed her arms, turned her head away, and exuded a tsundere air that could have carried her three hundred meters against the wind. "Well... forget it this time. But if he dares to gossip about me when I'm drunk next time, I'll definitely make him remember the horror of being dominated by Grandma Obsidian."

"Hehe, I've done this before." Sanyueqi chuckled and sat down next to Xing. "But I didn't catch a star, I caught a lantern."

“When I first woke up from the ice, I opened my eyes and saw a cluster of stars—so I instinctively reached out my hand, but it turned out to be just the ceiling light of the carriage.”

“Everyone on the train was looking at me. It was so embarrassing.”

"As they spoke, Xing noticed that Sanyueqi looked a little lonely. Although she tried her best to hide it, the emotion in her eyes still betrayed her."

Xing Weiwei leaned forward and asked, "Why are all the people looking at you?"

"Isn't it? It's like observing some strange cosmic creature—but I can't blame them. After all, no one knows my origins."

"Can you imagine? I was frozen in a block of ice, drifting through space, until I was pulled out by the train." Speaking of his past, San Yue Qi's voice was rarely less lively, but rather slightly melancholic.

"Do you remember what happened before you were frozen?" Xing asked.

"Who knows? I don't remember anything from the past. Who I am, what my original name was, where I came from... I've forgotten all of this. Even the name 'March 7th' was just a commemoration of the date I was awakened."

“So I stayed on the train, following it from stop to stop. Hoping that one day I’d find my past…”

"Although March Seven has tried to speak in a cheerful tone, the atmosphere is still sad."

“I originally thought San Yue Qi was a girl with a happy family, but I didn’t expect her to suffer this kind of fate.” Zain said with a sympathetic expression, “But this optimism and open-mindedness are truly precious.”

"Without a special background, you can't get on the Star Train, right?"

Fulilian calmly analyzed, "Currently, three of the five people on the train, besides Pam, have lost their memories. No one has mentioned Jizi's identity, and Mr. Walter can suppress the star core with just one move, especially since that cane is completely invisible. In short, what I'm saying is... no one on the train has a simple identity."

"Speaking of March Seventh, I do have a guess." Xiutark raised his hand. "Does the ice on March Seventh look familiar to you? It's similar to a certain Star God..."

Before he could finish, Philen suddenly realized and replied, "Memory Star God!"

"Not bad, you are quite perceptive." Flillian looked at Hugh Tark with appreciation.

The Memory Star God seemed to be composed entirely of solid ice, appearing both noble and mysterious, a reflection of San Yue Qi's own icy nature. Furthermore, she herself had lost her memory, and the Memory Star God happened to be in charge of the memories of everyone in the universe...

It's hard not to arouse speculation.

"In the light curtain, the train is about to begin its jump. Xing Zai finished talking to San Yue Qi and came to Ji Zi to inquire about the next stop."

Ji Zi sat in a chair, her chin resting on one hand, her beautiful eyes lingering on the brilliant starry sky outside the window. She said gently, "Our next destination is a very small planet numbered [Yarilo-VI]."

Chapter 25: The Open-Book Exam in the Great Tomb of Nazarick

"Okay, Star Passengers, please return to your seats. I'm going to start the countdown."

“Everyone, get ready. Three, two, one…”

"As Pam counted down, the train's massive form began to accelerate, and the chess pieces on the board began to tremble. Then, a blue membrane-like substance rapidly spread from the front of the train, instantly enveloping the entire train."

"It was as if the train entered some kind of spatial rift and disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Is this the warping technology to another world!?" Jace opened his eyes wide in curiosity.

He had no idea how this ordinary-looking train with a rather retro design could do it.

He considered that if the energy of the Hextech crystal could be perfectly activated, long-range warping technology could be realized. However, according to calculations, the energy required to warp larger objects would increase exponentially, and for objects as large as trains...

"Perhaps this is the power of the Star God." Victor murmured.

A single word from the Star God can easily bridge the huge gap between the two worlds.

"With a flash of light, the train emerged from the singularity, and the layer of blue material surrounding it began to gradually fall off. Under Xing's astonished gaze, the train's transition had already ended."

"The space station outside the window has disappeared, replaced by a huge, white planet, standing quietly in the distance."

"This is exactly their destination—Yarilo-VI."

"Thousands of years have passed, and Yalilo-VI has become like this..." Ji Zi sighed, comparing it to the lush green planet in the think tank. "Time has passed, and the world has changed so much."

"Is that white planet our destination?" Xiao Sanyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously hugged her arms.

"Before even setting foot on this planet, a chill was already creeping up from the soles of my feet."

"Anomalous space readings! Star track stability has dropped to 12%!"

"The stop schedule has been changed. The stop at this station has been extended from seven days to indefinite!" As Pam's warning rang out, a rare gloom fell over Jizi's face. The atmosphere on the train seemed to have been affected by the Yalilo-VI, becoming cold and stiff."

"Indefinitely..." Xing looked at Himeko beside him.

"Take a typical land train as an example. It's like the track suddenly breaks while you're moving forward, revealing a collapsing abyss..." Jizi smiled helplessly. "At this point, the only option is to apply the emergency brake, right?"

"March Seven held her forehead. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time she had seen this situation."

"The preliminary test results are in, and the source of the anomaly is still the [star core]. Seeing the discussion stagnant, Walter slowly approached, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Xing. "It's the same material as the [star core] that was implanted in you."

"Xing was puzzled and asked: "What exactly is a star core?"

"The mysteries surrounding the Star Core are numerous, and even the Black Tower hasn't been able to fully decipher them. But don't worry too much. This isn't the first time we've encountered a Star Core blocking our routes. Even if we don't understand the principles of the Star Core, there are ways to counteract its effects."

Walter nodded. "The only thing we can be sure of is that the arrival of the [Star Core] will bring about drastic changes in civilization and ecology, and will also produce spatial distortion phenomena such as the Rift."

"The reason why Yalilo-VI became an icy planet... is probably related to the influence of the [Star Core]."

"According to our speculation, the [Star Core] is a seed of disaster spread across the worlds by a certain Star God. If we don't eradicate the source of this disaster, [Development] will be impossible."

The Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Cocytus walked towards the throne room with heavy steps. And as if infected, the servants following behind him also walked slowly and heavily, not even daring to raise their heads.

The reason for his heavy footsteps was the light curtain that appeared in the sky not long ago. The content in it was really incredible. Cocytus racked his brains but could not imagine that the human beings that appeared in it could be so powerful.

After the image on the screen showed the train warping, Cocytus received a message from his master, ordering him to come to the throne room with other guardians for an audience.

It shouldn't be a simple meeting, but he wants to hear the opinions of these guardians.

——Especially those "Star Gods".

At this thought, Cocytus stiffened. He possessed absolute resistance to cold, but the reason for his trembling wasn't external, but rather internal. Recalling the gaze of the Star God of Destruction, an intense pressure seemed to spread from his chest to every part of his body, causing him to falter.

"Cocytus, do you intend to keep the Supreme One waiting for long?"

A cold voice came from the stairs above. Cocytus looked up suddenly and saw Albedo and Shalltear looking down at him.

In addition, other guardians such as Demiurge and Sebastian were also in place, standing on both sides of the stairs.

There seemed to be a silent look of reproach in everyone's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm late. If it's because of me that everyone is punished by the Supreme Lord—"

"Let's stop with these words for now. If your slowness makes the Supreme Lord Ainz even slightly unhappy, then you can only atone for it with your death." There was a hint of blame in Albedo's golden eyes, but punishing Cocytus would take time, and there was no time to lose now.

After briefly explaining the meeting details, the Guardians, led by Albedo, entered the throne room with their respective servants.

Cocytus felt immense joy as he entered the room he had only visited a few times.

The impeccable architecture and carvings symbolized the Supreme Lord's exceptional taste. Beyond that, there was a banner symbolizing supremacy and a world-class item at the very bottom. Even for Cocytus, a Guardian, reaching this room proved difficult. Calling it the heart of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick was truly worthy of its name.

After saluting the Ainz Ooal Gown guild emblem on the wall, Cocytus and the other guardians knelt down, lowered their heads, and waited quietly for their master to arrive.

"We are honored to welcome His Majesty Ainz Ooal Gown, the Supreme Ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick!"

The voice of combat maid Yuri was heard, and the sound of a door opening slowly rang out, followed by the crisp sound of shoes and the sound of crutches tapping on the ground.

Footsteps slowly passed by the Guardian, followed by the sound of someone climbing the stairs and sitting down on the throne. Albedo's voice boomed loudly through the hall.

“Everyone, please look up and gaze upon the honorable face of Lord Ainz Ooal Gown.”

Cosest immediately raised his head, fearing that his slowness would displease the Supreme Lord.

Holding the scepter symbolizing rulership, the Supreme Being, with a terrifying aura shrouding his entire body and a mysterious dark light emanating from his back, is none other than the supreme ruler of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

Albedo slowly approached the Supreme, bowed slightly, and said, "Ainz-sama, the Guardians have gathered before you. Please give your orders."

"Hmm..." Ainz slammed his scepter on the floor, drawing everyone's attention. He then spoke slowly, "Welcome to me, Guardians. You've more or less guessed why I summoned you here."

The scepter was slowly raised, pointing towards the light curtain that could be clearly seen through the wall.

"Regarding the [Star Core] and [Star God], could you each share your thoughts?"

Chapter 26 Learn from the barbarians and learn skills to control the barbarians

"You should go first, Demiurge. Your speeches are always brilliant."

"Oh, you are too kind, Lord Ainz! Thank you for your recognition! I am your servant, and I will do my best to fulfill your instructions." Demiurge bowed deeply with an expression that was so happy that he was trembling.

"As for the Star God's opinion... my opinion is that you don't need to care about it at all."

"There are very few people in the light curtain who can establish a connection with the Star God. Currently, the only one is the young lady in the Black Tower. She seems to have a close relationship with the Star God of Intelligence...Aside from Xing, whose strength is vague, the others are insignificant."

"Is that so...? You think the power of the Star God won't affect the Great Tomb of Nazarick?"

"Influence? Hmm...these effects are negligible..." Demiurge hesitated for a moment before continuing his answer.

"The effect of the Memory Star God on us is very weak, and the same is true for Nanook of Destruction. Furthermore, they can't harm our bodies... In short, it's not difficult to conclude that if we can continue to create high-level scrolls that isolate the influence of mental power, the Star God will have almost no effect on us."

"Hmm, very good... then do you have enough materials for the high-level scroll?"

"The core material is the skin of an adult male—but this material is plentiful. The Holy Kingdom is teeming with men of suitable age. Don't worry, Ainz-sama." Demiurge's tone became unusually relaxed and cheerful as he mentioned his areas of expertise and interest.

Cocytus remembered Demiurge as a generally good-tempered and gentle man, but he was only that way when facing the children of the Supreme Being. Beyond that, his cruelty and cold-bloodedness were horrifying.

"Don't kill too much. The kingdom still needs labor."

"Don't worry, Ainz-sama. We can immediately re-exfoliate the man using healing magic. Therefore, there's no need to kill the captured man; we can simply reuse him. Of course, this is all thanks to the exceptional torture magician."

"Hmm, magic is truly magnificent... Very good, I'll leave this part to you."

"Next is Cocytus."

It was finally my turn.

"I want to hear your opinion this time, too."

"Yes... Ainz-sama. But I..." Cocytus lowered his head considerably. This posture, with only his eyes fixed on the ground, was the only way he could manage to show respect when meeting his master. He didn't have the courage to raise his head and look directly at his master's face. It was simply because the moment his eyes met with Nanook's, the destructive one, a fleeting fear had gripped him.

As a warrior created by the Supreme Being, he felt extremely ashamed of that brief, momentary fear.

Besides, he didn't have a mind as flexible as Demiurge to come up with a suitable countermeasure. As for the Star God's opinion... he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains.

Looking at Cocytus's slightly trembling body, Ainz had already begun to sense something.

"You have no opinion?"

“…Yes, Lord Ainz, I am truly sorry. My understanding of the Star Gods is so shallow. Please grant me—”

Cocytus's apology was interrupted by the sound of a scepter hitting the ground, and then Albedo's cold voice immediately echoed throughout the throne room.

"Everyone...is grateful to the Supreme Lord for his orders. Cocytus, how dare you disobey Ainz-sama's orders?"

"I--"

Cocytus's defense was interrupted by Ainz's calm voice. He looked down at him from above, his voice lacking much emotion.

But the light flickering in the owner's empty eye sockets seemed to have a slightly bright red tint.

"Look up, Cocytus, and if you have anything to say, speak it out."

"I..." Cocytus swallowed his venom and finally mustered up the courage to raise his head. "Judging from the train crew's attitude, they will travel to many worlds. I think there must be more advanced technology in these worlds. In my humble opinion, if I could see it one day, it should be..."

Ainz seemed to have guessed what he was about to say, and said with amusement, "Are you talking about studying? Cocytus, that word sounds unfamiliar to you."

“Ainz-sama, I…”

“—Bold!”

Before Cocytus could continue, Albedo rebuked him again.

Albedo's deafening voice was full of the majesty of a Guardian's chief steward. Her anger made her black wings tremble slightly, and her face gradually became ferocious.

"Are you trying to say that other worlds possess wisdom superior to that of the Supreme Being? Or... Cocytus, have you lost the honor and dignity of a guardian, and instead begun flattering those within the light curtain?"

This is a serious crime.

Cocytus realized his slip of the tongue, and the cold sweat that broke out of his body froze into ice grains the moment it appeared.

But this anger was soon interrupted by the loud sound of a scepter hitting the ground.
