People playing with figurines on Star Railway

"That really is... huh?"

Just as March 7th was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a few people around the corner ahead.

Directly in front of those people were several strange humanoid creatures with golden ginkgo leaves growing on their bodies.

"Uncle Yang, over there?"

After taking a look, Walter's extensive experience immediately told him that the other party was in danger.

"March, Xing, Liuyu. Those people are in danger."

"Okay...wait, Uncle Yang, why are you running so fast?"

Just as March 7th summoned his bow and arrow, preparing to launch a ranged attack, he saw Walter dash forward in a single step.

He didn't look composed at all; instead, he seemed more like a hot-blooded young man.

Compared to the astonishment of March 7th and Xing, Liu Yu stared dumbfounded as Walter pulled out a belt resembling a transformation device from somewhere and fastened it around his waist.

The next moment, a suit of armor very similar to Arahat's automatically appeared on Walter's body. As he approached the demonic soldiers, he leaped up and drew his sharp longsword from his back...

"No way, you actually managed to recreate my transformation device?!"

Chapter 40 Otto!!!

Walter is now really getting a little carried away with his passion.

I just got off the train and ran into a hostile target. Isn't this just a perfect opportunity for me to test out the Alahato transformation device I just made?

However, this transformation device is slightly different from Liu Yu's sword-shaped transformation device.

But that's not important; what's important is that my blood is truly boiling.

Wearing the Alahat Armor, Walter leaped high into the air and drew the long sword from his back, bringing it down with a slashing motion from the sky.

Just like a thrilling rescue scene from a comic book, the strange humanoid creatures covered in ginkgo leaves were cut in half at the waist in a single move.

Wow, that looks so exciting!

Xing held the Guardian Lance, watching Walter's cool battle scenes with a look of envy.

March 7th stared blankly at Walter, then nudged Liu Yu's hand beside him.

"You mean... that... is really Uncle Yang?"

"Probably... yes."

Liu Yu was also somewhat uncertain.

After all, Welt always portrays a mature and steady image in the game, but I never expected that he would change so much after creating a mecha transformation device.

It felt as if the air itself was about to be ignited by Walter's burning, boiling blood.

Seeing this, Liu Yu felt as if his brain had suddenly malfunctioned.

While everyone was watching Walter, he ran to a corner, took out the [Figure Otto], and inserted it into his body.

[Otto Apocalypse Figure]

【Character Mimicry Type】

[Introduction: This is the story of a man obsessed with resurrecting his deceased lover. For his lover, he spent five hundred years accomplishing what many could not, and killing countless others in the process. But friend… please shout with me, “Take us up the tree one more time, Your Excellency!”]

On the other side, Otto, having completed the dramatic rescue scene he had imagined in his mind, stood up straight and looked at the cloud knight soldier wielding the array sword and the fox-woman hiding behind him.

"Hello, please don't be nervous, I'm Wa from the Star Train..."

Before Walter could finish his opening remarks, a round of applause echoed throughout the road.

Walter paused for a moment, and a scene from a shonen manga immediately popped into his mind: after the protagonist heroically saves the day, the mastermind slowly appears before everyone amidst applause.

Then, with a look that was three parts mockery, three parts disdain, three parts arrogance, and one part admiration, he looked at the protagonist and made a declaration that ignited the protagonist's anger and made him vow to fight the other party to the bitter end.

His emotions immediately surged.

I never expected that at my age, I could experience the passionate and classic storyline of young people.

Then, Walter suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the applause.

From the dark corner, a blond, blue-eyed man in a white suit emerged with his arms outstretched.

The moment Walter saw the man, his pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Without the other person saying any lines or doing anything, simply by having that face appear in Walter's field of vision, Walter knew everything...

"Otto!!!!"

Forget about classic, action-packed storylines, get the hell out of here.

At this moment, Walter didn't care about anything else and started creating a black hole from scratch, starting at zero frames.

"Oh, old friend. So many years have passed, and you're still as impatient as ever!"

Wearing the Fool's Mask, Liu Yu completely amplified the presence of Otto's identity.

So much so that neither March 7th nor Xing and the others noticed that Liu Yu was missing, their attention completely drawn to him as he transformed into Otto.

"Go to hell!"

Walter threw the longsword of Alahato in his hand at Otto, and at the same time, the thrusters under his feet burst out with ghostly blue flames, approaching Otto at a terrifying speed.

The black hole in his hand was already pressed towards Otto's face.

"Old friend, it's been many years. Your welcoming ceremony really needs some improvement!"

Otto shifted his feet and easily dodged the long sword thrown by Welt. At the same time, he took out the [Figure: Godfall Sword: Surtr] that he had drawn earlier from his figure space and summoned it directly.

He swung his sword backhand and slashed at Walter, who was charging straight at him.

Flames erupted, and sword light surged.

Amidst that overwhelming power, Walter's gaze grew even more solemn.

He felt it, he felt that familiar taste.

Honkai energy—he sensed Honkai energy once again.

However, compared to the Honkai energy back home, the Honkai energy here probably belongs to the sword... wait, the sword?

The black hole in his hand collided directly with Otto's attack, and in the instant they annihilated each other, Walter noticed the sword in Otto's hand.

At that moment, Walter's eyes trembled.

That was not a pirated copy created by the Void Treasury, but a completely genuine product.

But because it was genuine, Walter felt like he was about to explode.

That is Himeko's Godfall Sword, Surtr.

But if Welt remembers correctly, that sword fell into the imaginary space along with Himeko and Kiana... no, Herrscher of the Void during their battle.

But why... why did it end up in the hands of Otto, that BYD bastard?!

"Oh? You seem quite curious about the sword in my hand~"

Otto weighed the Godfall Sword in his hand, looking at Welt with a hint of amusement.

"But I regret to inform you that I did not meet Himeko Murata..."

With just one sentence, the last glimmer of hope that had risen in Walter's heart was shattered once again.

BYD means you can't have even the slightest hope for this thing!

"But it's alright. Even though Himeko Murata is dead, you still have me in this universe, don't you?"

"Die!"

The moment Walter finished speaking, his armor shattered and exploded.

In that instant, Welt seemed to have his limiter removed, his aura fully unleashed. It was as if Joachim, who shouted about power, destiny, and ideals, and said that he had surpassed the Welt of the past, had returned.

The terrifying aura caused Xing and March 7 to instinctively hug each other tightly, somewhat frightened.

With a simulated black hole in each hand, Walter charged toward Otto, who was wielding the Godfall Sword.

His expression clearly conveyed a sense of mortal conflict.

But the next moment, Otto took several steps back and jumped off the railing of the Starport.

"Old friend, no need to rush... we have plenty of time later~"

"Otto!!!"

Walter rushed to the railing and looked down, but couldn't find Otto.

At that moment, Liu Yu had already deactivated Otto's transformation the instant he landed, and quietly used Seele's transformation to quantumize and return to behind March 7 and Xing...

Chapter 41 Illusion: That guy named Otto is a great partner!

"Otto!!!"

Walter's eyes were filled with rage. He leaned on the railing and roared down, but Otto was no longer in sight.

He never expected that after he accidentally arrived in this universe, he would actually see that bastard who was dead and whose body was nowhere to be found.

On March 7th, looking at Yin Yue—and seeing Walter's somewhat impotent rage over there—she shrank her neck uncomfortably.

She never expected that the mature and steady Uncle Yang would become so distraught after seeing someone.

"Uncle Yang... seems very angry."

March 7th glanced at the stars beside her, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Be more confident, and remove the 'seems' part. He's just really angry."

Xing said with certainty.

At this moment, March 7th seemed to remember something and looked at Liu Yu beside her.

"Liu Yu, you and Uncle Yang are from the same place, so you should know that man, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xing also looked at Liu Yu.

After all, not only she, but even Himeko on the train was curious about Lao Yang's past.

“I know some things, but not all of them.” Liu Yu stroked his chin. “Our hometown was once hit by a disaster, and I was just an ordinary civilian in that disaster, while Uncle Yang was a soldier who fought on the front lines during that disaster.”

Liu Yu thought for a moment and then said this.

In fact, Liu Yu wasn't wrong. Before he transmigrated, he was indeed a commoner, and Welt, as the leader of Anti-Entropy, was indeed on the front line against the Honkai.

"However, I do know something about that man. After all, he's very famous..."

"Oh~"

March 7th and Xing's eyes lit up. They grabbed Liu Yu's arms on either side and urged him with great curiosity.

"Tell me quickly, I can't wait any longer."

Listening to what March 7th and Xing said, Liu Yu shook his head.

"It doesn't seem appropriate to talk about these things now."

Liu Yu pointed to the three people not far away.

It was two cloud riders wielding array swords and a charming fox-woman holding a six-bone folding fan.

Upon hearing this, Xing and March 7th finally came to their senses.

They were on the Luofu Immortal Ship and seemed to be helping the people who had been attacked.

As for Walter, he seems to be still a bit upset because he was provoked, so it would be better to let Liu Yu handle the negotiations.

Liu Yu coughed lightly and slowly walked forward.

The two cloud riders and the fox-woman girl, seeing Liu Yu approaching, all raised their array swords and looked at him warily.

"Sorry, don't be nervous. We are nameless passengers from the Starry Sky Train. We heard that something happened in Luofu, so we came to help."

"Anonymous guest?"

The fox-girl's fox ears twitched, as if she had thought of something, and she stepped out from behind the two cloud riders.

"In that case, I have been impolite." The fox-woman seemed to believe Liu Yu's words and bowed slightly to express her apology.

Only then did he raise his head to look at Liu Yu and the other two. As for Walter over there, it would be better to learn about him later, since his zero-frame start was still a bit scary.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tingyun, and I am a ferryman from the Minghuo Merchant Guild. Thank you all for your help!"
