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

"Confess your crime and the [Annihilation Gang] will grant you release."

"The beast's shadow gradually approached Kafka, who was sitting in the chair. At this moment, facing the pressure of the four men, she finally laughed softly, and the taut lines of her shirt suddenly stretched out, like a ceramic knife slowly being unsheathed."

"Hmm... I'm listening." Kafka slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the four people.

"So, do you and the other members of the Star Core Hunters admit responsibility for the following crimes?" A translucent dial appeared before the Deer Man, and he began to list the crimes one by one.

"You broke into the Universal Auction at Atuin, manipulated the guests, and destroyed the art treasures held by the Devout Observer. You caused damage totaling over 860 billion credits. You also stole the auction item (the star core)."

The deer man narrowed his eyes and spoke word by word, "Do you... plead guilty?"

Kafka smiled slightly: "I admit it, but those who are pious are not pious."

The Deerman continued, "You infiltrated the Holy Prison of Inupis, stole the Scepter of Sigmar, and closed the firewall that sealed the mechanical spell, allowing a large number of data demons to flood into reality. This caused the world to enter the Judgment Day stage prematurely, allowing you to take the source code (the star core) away."

"Do you... plead guilty?"

"Accompanied by the deer man's voice, a tall figure as big as a mountain suddenly appeared in the center of the light curtain."

"Every inch of the figure's body is composed of flowing code, a torrent of binary swirls across its surface. Its head is a collection of countless flickering pixels, and endless error reports scroll through its red eye sockets... Without a doubt, this is the data demon the deer people are talking about."

-

New Eridu.

"Eight hundred and sixty billion credit points, let me count how many zeros there are behind it..." Zhe counted on his fingers.

"Brother! You only have one bell!" The girl behind him snorted in dissatisfaction. "Besides, brother, where are you focusing on? Didn't you notice? The star core they mentioned..."

"Oh...what's wrong?"

"Kafka and the others took away star cores, but each one has a different name," Ling said curiously. "Whether it's the auctioned collectibles or the source code... just by looking at the names, it's hard to imagine they're the same thing as the star cores stuffed into the stars."

"Indeed, but speaking of star cores, maybe Fairy can search for some opinions online to provide reference... Fairy?" Zhe shouted to the empty room.

However, the room was completely silent.

"Strange... I just paid the electricity bill yesterday." Zhe was wondering when the fairy's voice suddenly rang out: "Warning! The logic module is contaminated. It will restart after the data demon disappears."

"Oh? Fairy, are you afraid of that data demon?" Zhe suddenly found it interesting. "Aren't you known as the strongest artificial intelligence in New Elido? Why would an artificial intelligence be... 'afraid'?"

"No. It's not fear, it's just disgust. Second Assistant, please speak rationally."

"Also, I'm going to send a screenful of binary information to the HDD background, but that's just some test data before a reboot, not some encrypted curse word expressing my disgust at the data demon."

"...It seems even fairy can't accept some things." Zhe smiled mischievously. "It seems the so-called 'strongest artificial intelligence' isn't the strongest after all. Ling, should we consider saving a little on our electricity bill next month..."

"Master, calm down. As of today, ever since Kafka's appearance, discussions related to the Star Core have consistently occupied the top three trending searches, second only to 'Long Zun Dan Heng' and 'General Jing Yuan', with a total of 1826 million views."

"Discussions about the Star Core aren't very common, accounting for only 4% of the total traffic. Of the remaining 96%, discussions about Kafka account for 54%, Blade for 36%, and Silver Wolf for 6%."

"Oh? It's quite a buzz... So what do netizens think of the Star Core Hunter?"

"The main topics are as follows—"

"One, I want to be Miss Kafka's dog."

"Second, I want to join the Star Core Hunters and call Kafka 'Mom'."

"Third, I want to be looked at with disdain and disgust by the blade."

"Uh..." Ling held her forehead, "Let's not search for fairy yet. It's a waste of energy to waste time on such a topic..."

-

"You invaded the Ring World of Golconda, spreading the Paradox Virus to all colonies, transforming 46 million inorganic beings into uncontrolled machines. You also removed the [Steel Core] from Golconda's gravitational equilibrium point, silencing the entire world."

“Do you plead guilty?”

"In the image, a gigantic mechanical lifeform slowly stood up, its lasers blazing across the buildings. Countless plumes of dust and smoke spread, and countless tall buildings collapsed."

"Oh? Isn't this the work of the Yepera Brotherhood? But we did take that thing (the star core) away."

Chapter 191: Yepera Rebellion: Episode 47 (Part 2)

"And the Trovis disappearances, the Lor-51 nuclear incident, the hacker attack on Screwstar, the Pierpoint invasion, and so on and so forth—46 crimes in total!"

"Do you admit that the above vicious incidents were all committed by the Star Core Hunters?"

"As soon as the words fell, the four beast faces opened their scarlet eyes."

Kafka's voice remained calm, even tinged with a hint of joking, "From what I understand, these events are all somehow related to the Annihilation Gang."

“But, I admit it. However, it seems you missed one thing…”

Kafka's lips curled up slightly, and almost at the same moment, a dark shadow suddenly covered the windowpane, as if a cold breath was passing through the curtains.

“—The Yepera Rebellion.”

"Instantly, the scarlet thread snapped silently, as if the puppet strings controlling the four figures had never existed in the first place."

"The scarlet in their eyes was forcibly removed, and a hint of clarity reappeared in their pupils."

"—But it's too late."

"The explosion unleashed a fiery white light, and the flames devoured the entire room like the mouth of a giant beast. And somewhere in a safe building, Kafka casually removed the shackles from her hands, observing the chaos in the distance with a smile on her face."

"A green firefly suddenly lit up in the shadows beside me—"

"You need to stop playing with your prey, Kafka."

"Accompanied by the sound of mechanical axes churning, the mecha slowly emerged from the shadows. Its massive fuselage glowed in the darkness, and cyan energy lines drifted across its shell, flickering like breathing."

"I understand. Maybe next time." Kafka put her suit jacket over her shoulders and smiled.

"This time... it's too late."

"In the distance, Silver Wolf was playing with a revolver, while Blade, dressed in a suit and tie, slowly put on his coat. Sam was standing in the evening breeze at sunset, his coat rustling."

"But in an inconspicuous corner of the light curtain, a black cat was leisurely licking its front paws, as if it already knew the dangerous secret of this land."

-

Demons destroy the world.

"Wait!? What is this thing? Is it human?"

Wind Pillar Fuzukawa Miyabi pointed at Sam in the corner. Although he couldn't understand what this thing had just done to cause the explosion, he was still shocked.

"Is it armor? It should be... right? How did it manage to be so light? It's almost as if it were nothing, and yet it's all one piece."

"The person wearing it must be an extremely burly man..."

Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai was filled with envy. This "armor" could not only trigger explosions, but also perfectly protect the wearer. If the Demon Slayer Corps could obtain a copy, no demon, including Muzan, would be able to harm it in the slightest.

The point is, with this armor, why bother practicing breathing techniques? Just chase Muzan and kill him.

and,

This looks much better than Ji Zi’s drone!

Teyvat.

"Funina——"

"Fun-Nin-na!!"

Outside the Opicle Opera House, Navia put her lips into a circle and put them close to Funina's ear. As the volume gradually increased, the distracted girl finally woke up from her dream.

It turned out that they came to feed the pigeons outside the opera house, but when Funina came to her senses, the bread crumbs had already been eaten.

"Ah! Navia..." Finina coughed awkwardly, her eyes still unable to help glancing at the screen, as if afraid of missing something. "I was just thinking... uh, the costumes of the latest theatrical characters! Yes! Costumes!"

"Oh?" Navia moved closer with a playful look on her face. Feeling the girl's cheeks gradually getting hot, she winked playfully: "I see, it seems that this 'character's' suit is indeed very 'dramatic'."

As they were chatting, the Traveler and Paimon happened to pass by. Seeing Navia and Finina chatting, they also came over curiously.

Paimon pointed at the light curtain in the sky and said, "Did you see that, Finina? For some reason, this Blade suddenly dressed so formally, like a model! Is it possible that even on a mission, he has to maintain respectability and elegance?"

"But this outfit really suits him!"

Finina's eyes sparkled, and her tone couldn't help but become excited: "You felt it too, right? That dangerous yet charming aura! His clothes make him look even more slender, and that red tie—"

Suddenly, the girl stopped talking, as if realizing her own gaffe, and coughed awkwardly: "Ahem...! I mean, this look of his is really artistic!"

Navia covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Funina, you're blushing?"

"No, no way...!" The setting sun just happened to pass over the girl's earlobe, illuminating the red tip of her ear almost transparently. "...This is the sunset light! It's not a blush!"

Marvel Universe.

"So, you're saying that Elio, who can see through fate and predict the future, is actually a... cat?"

On the top floor of Avengers Building, Tony Stark was sitting in a chair with a cup of coffee. The projector next to him copied the image of the black cat on the screen, but no matter how many times it was magnified, the Time Stone that Strange had previously imagined could not be seen.

"If what Kafka said is true, Elio's vision can penetrate time, seeing the superposition of the present and the future simultaneously, and understanding the countless branches of the future. It's more... convenient than my Eye of Agamotto."

Although he was explaining it seriously, everyone could still see how awkward Strange's forced smile was.

He had originally envisioned Elio as a shrewd and calculating man, one who spoke with a serious, earnest tone when summoning the Avengers...but what happened? Not only was he not a man, he wasn't even a human being.

In the light curtain, the black cat was just licking its paws lazily, its dark eyes clear enough to reflect the sky.

"Could it be that this is just an ordinary black cat passing by? The light screen accidentally captured it, and it just happened to stand with a few Star Core Hunters?" Hawkeye said lightly. "Elliot is someone else - this possibility should not be ruled out, right?"

"Otherwise, we're all here seriously discussing the cosmic time crisis, while the key character is thinking about 'which plate of dried fish should be favored in the future'?"

Chapter 192: The Old Alleys of the Jin People Are Bustling (Part 1)

"After sorting out a series of issues, Xing was finally able to enjoy a leisurely stroll on the Immortal Boat. Just when she was worried about not having a tour guide, she happened to run into Bai Lu on the side of the road. The two of them hit it off immediately and decided to go to Jinren Lane and show off their skills."

"Golden Man Alley is also known as 'Luofu's No. 1 Night Market,' but as Xing walked along, she discovered that this alley isn't as prosperous as rumored. Its title of 'No. 1' is somewhat undeserved."

"As we passed by a snack shop, the owner, Aunt Gao, noticed Xing's attire, unlike that of a Xianzhou native, and immediately approached with a beaming smile: 'Hey, sir, are you a foreigner? I wanted to ask you, do you like Golden Man Alley?'"

This question left Xing, who had just arrived, baffled: "I just got here, so I can't say I like it yet."

"Then I must treat you well... Please don't think I'm nagging you, sir. You're from the outside world. Do you know anything about the Interstellar Peace Company? Is its reputation good?"

"Xingye only remembered that Chabao's advertisement was a bit annoying, but beyond that, she didn't know much else... Aunt Gao saw that Xingye couldn't explain it, and realized she had asked the wrong person. After giving Xingbao some snacks, she went back to her work."

"The two of them were enjoying themselves while eating and strolling around Golden Man Alley, reluctant to leave. As they were walking, they suddenly noticed a large crowd gathered in front of the dock. It seemed like someone from the Interstellar Peace Company was arguing with the dock workers."

“As soon as they got closer, they heard a strong female voice: “Speak nicely, don’t bully others—”

"Hey, where did this wild girl come from? What does it have to do with you?" the company representative said with a hint of sarcasm.

"As a Cloud Rider, how could I sit back and watch a conflict break out at the dock? Also, my name isn't Hey, and I'm not Wild Girl, my name is Su Shang!"

"Miss, let's leave this matter to our Jinren Lane Chamber of Commerce, okay?" A woman who looked like a secretary squeezed into the crowd and came up to Su Shang and said.

"'You guys handle this? That's hilarious!'" Scott said, raising his voice sarcastically. "Everyone watching here knows that the Golden Man Alley Chamber of Commerce is mismanaged and incompetent. Now that the dock rent is in arrears, who do you blame?"

““—This is all your fault, the Golden Man Lane Chamber of Commerce!””

"…" The secretary took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she spoke, "…I don't deny this."

"Then speak louder. Say, 'The Golden Alley Chamber of Commerce is sorry to everyone for screwing up the docks. The people in the Golden Alley Chamber of Commerce are all useless!' Then kowtow loudly to me for the dates of overdue rent and apologize to me, the company's representative!"

-

Gintama.

"Hey, what's going on? How come even on the Luofu Immortal Boat there's a plot of corporate exploitation?"

Sakata Gintoki was picking his nose, lying lazily on the sofa in the Yorozuya, and looking at the sky with half-closed eyes.

"That's right, Aru! This uncle looks even more disgusting than Gin's hair that hasn't been washed for three days!" Kagura sat cross-legged on the ground, stuffing vinegared kelp into her mouth while making incoherent comments.

"Hey! My hair is not that disgusting! And I just washed it yesterday, okay?!" Gintoki protested dissatisfiedly, his hand unconsciously touching his naturally curly silver hair.

Xin Baji pushed up his reflective glasses. "The company this guy represents is actually called 'Interstellar Peace'... That's as ridiculous as calling a killer whale a loving dolphin."

"No, no, Shinpachi-kun." Gintoki suddenly became serious, "In the dictionary of this kind of company, 'peace' means 'be eaten by me obediently'."

Seeing Scott on the screen still rambling on with sarcasm and ridicule, Xin Baji couldn't help himself and suddenly stood up: "Gin-san! Although we can't help the secretary of Luofu Xianzhou, at least we can..."
