People playing with figurines on Star Railway

"Looks like we need to go help!"

Liu Yu glanced at the defense team members who had already been mobilized, then looked at March 7 and Xing.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

On March 7th, he summoned his bow and ran in the direction Dan Heng had gone.

Xing and Liuyu exchanged a glance, nodded, and followed.

After sprinting for two or three minutes and turning two corners,

Liu Yu, Xing, and March 7 arrived at a large hall.

In the very center of the hall stood a gaping portal.

At this moment, rift creatures are constantly pouring out from within the rift portal.

This included three outer cosmic ice beings and six Gale Creatures.

Judging from the situation, there was no sign that the rift portal was going to close.

On the other side of the hall, Alan, with white hair and dark skin, was engaged in a fierce battle with an alien ice being wielding a greatsword, though he seemed somewhat restrained. As for Dan Heng, he was fighting another alien ice being wielding a Cloud-Striking Sword.

As for the other rift creations and the empty outer cosmic ice, they were the culprits that caused such a huge sensation.

"Oh no, it's a rift!"

Before March 7th could explain, he immediately conjured six-phase ice arrows and attacked those rift-created beings.

What's most intriguing is that in a corner not far behind Alan, several clerks are hiding, which is probably why Alan is holding back.

Otherwise, given Alan's strength as the head of the space station's defense department, a few extraterrestrial ice beings and point creations wouldn't have made the fight so difficult.

Seeing this, Xing didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed the baseball bat he had just acquired and transformed into Galaxy Bat Man, rushing forward.

One blow to the head, one blow to the body, one blow that made the stick squeak!

Liu Yu, wielding the Heavenly Fire Judgment, continuously pulled the triggers of his twin pistols, though his accuracy was astonishing.

"Ouch! Liu Yu, watch out, don't hit me!"

Xing's body was sturdy, so although it wasn't seriously injured, it still felt a sharp pain from Liu Yu's unpredictable scattering.

"No, Liu Yu, if you don't know how to handle a gun, then don't shoot! We're all on the same side!"

March 7th was somewhat annoyed, having to carefully deal with the impact of the Gale Creation while also dodging the scattering of the Flowing Universe.

"........."

Dan Heng silently deflected the shot aimed at him with a single shot, and then gave Liu Yu a deep look.

Seeing this, Liu Yu awkwardly put down his two guns.

What is this?

Should I attack my teammates and help my enemies?

Oh no, it seems like suspicion is more likely to fall on March 7th and Danheng.

After a moment's hesitation, Liu Yu raised his hands and pressed the two guns together.

Silently recite "Greatsword Mode!"

The next instant, a blazing red light erupted from the twin guns, covering both hands.

Amidst the light, Liu Yu felt a weight in his hand as the Greatsword Mode of Heavenly Judgment appeared before him.

At the same time, the Heavenly Judgment also granted Liu Yu the most basic and convenient combat skills.

This is one of the perks of the weapon setup, ensuring that Liu Yu isn't completely clueless about how to use it.

Well, except for dual-gun mode. Anyone can pull the trigger; it requires no skill, just accuracy.

Unfortunately, Liu Yu doesn't know Kaslana's gunfighting technique at all, so he can only raise and fire the dual pistols at best.

But the greatsword is different. It relies on strength, skill, and also on movement and deflection.

Therefore, after the Heavenly Fire Judgment transforms into its greatsword form, it comes with basic combat experience...

At that moment, Liu Yu's face revealed a confident expression as he raised his greatsword, pointing it directly at the outer cosmic ice not far away...

"Big guy, take my Dragon Ascension Sword!!!"

Chapter 5! Hey buddy, wanna have some naan~

Peng!

A figure flew backward and crashed into the wall.

Xing, who was holding a baseball bat, glanced at it, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"I was just saying that it's best not to try to climb the dragon, since there's a high chance you won't succeed and will instead be climbed by the dragon!"

Xing looked at Liu Yu, who was getting up from the ground, and spoke helplessly.

"I just wanted to say something casually, who knew that would turn out to be a flag!"

Liu Yu rubbed his chest, which had been hit by the ice from outer space, and replied irritably.

Perhaps it was because of the feedback effect in Greatsword Mode, in any case, Liu Yu's body only felt some pain after being hit, but there was no major injury.

"So it's best not to talk big!"

Xing shrugged and smashed the Gale Creature that flew right in front of him to death with a baseball bat.

Star, who had easily killed the remaining few Gale Creatures, turned his gaze toward the outer cosmic ice.

At this moment, Liu Yu, wielding his greatsword-modified Heavenly Judgment, charged forward once more.

This time, he didn't shout any special slogans. He simply swung his greatsword and delivered a very simple slash.

Flames swirled around the edge of the Heavenly Fire Judgment sword, its powerful force even melting the ice crystals on the surface of the outer universe's ice.

Seemingly sensing that Liu Yu had changed this time, the Ice of the Outer Universe raised its arms and pressed them down sharply in front of it.

A violent burst of cold air erupted from its body, instantly condensing into countless ice clusters around it.

"Ok?"

Liu Yu frowned, flipped his greatsword, and turned the slash into a spinning attack.

The flames spread out like a disc, instantly melting all the newly formed ice clusters.

Amidst the rising steam, Xing burst forth, leaping high into the air, spinning half a circle before crashing down upon the ice of outer space.

There was a loud bang.

The baseball bat, carrying a terrifying impact, smashed the entire upper body of the outer universe ice into shattered crystals.

The exposed crystal core was instantly shattered by a flaming greatsword.

"Good job!"

Xing raised her hand and exchanged a palm strike with Liu Yu, genuinely feeling that Liu Yu's cooperation was excellent.

At this moment, Liu Yu looked at Xing and opened his mouth.

"What do you want to say?"

Are you sure you want me to speak?

"Hey buddy!"

At this moment, the star does reveal a hint of abstractness that only appears later, but not much.

"Forget it, it's nothing!"

Liu Yu paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Dan Heng on the other side.

At that moment, Dan Heng happened to pierce the body of the outer universe ice he was confronting with a spear, and the spear tip directly destroyed its crystal core.

Meanwhile, Alan, who was originally protecting the staff behind him, was able to unleash his full power after receiving assistance from March 7th, and easily chopped the outer cosmic ice in front of him into pieces.

As these rift creations were killed one by one, the expanding rift began to shrink.

Upon seeing this, one of the staff members behind Alan took out a device and projected a beam of light onto the rift.

In just a moment, the closing rift was completely closed.

However, the device was left aside.

"what is that?"

Liu Yu, carrying the Heavenly Fire Judgment, walked to March 7th's side, pointed to the device, and asked...

"Idiot, it's obviously a device to close the rift between realms!"

Oh dear, I'm a little annoyed that Little March called me stupid!

"I mean, why is that device still there?"

"The closure of the rift is not immediate. On the surface, it is closed, but the actual space is still unstable. Therefore, the purpose of leaving it there afterward is to stabilize the space until it is completely stable."

Alan then came over and explained.

The game doesn't explain these things very clearly; it only describes how the rift happened, but the follow-up outcomes are not detailed.

Now Liu Yu is also finding these things rather novel.

"Thank you for your help, friends of the Star Train."

As the head of the defense department and also Estelle's personal guard, Alan naturally recognized Danheng and March 7th, and expressed his gratitude.

Seeing this, Liu Yu fell into deep thought.

I remember Alan was injured when we first met in the story, right? Now that I've become the variable, has he gone from being injured to being in the middle of a battle?

Thinking back to that battle scene.

Indeed, Alan has to protect the staff while fighting against three extraterrestrial ice beings and several Gale Creatures, so he is very likely to get injured.

However, in the story, it seems that Alan disobeyed Estella's evacuation order and stopped at the central control room in order to rescue more staff members.

Just then, a random treasure chest fell from Alan's body onto the ground in Liu Yu's field of vision.

Without the slightest hesitation, I chose to open it.

[Obtained: Spear of the Void]

Spear of the Sub-Sky?

Wow, this figurine is quite interesting.

However, is the effect a one-time thing or can it be used for a long time?

Spear of the Sub-Sky

[Character Accessory: Can be Summoned]

[Durability Consumption Type: 10/10 (One point of durability per Void Spear, recovers one point every 10 minutes)]

[Introduction: Hey buddy, wanna have some naan~]

This equipment description... are you sure you're not getting the same kind of fun I had before I time-traveled, when some golden-haired cosplayer photoshopped dozens of naan breads into a picture?

Hey, you know what, you really shouldn't say that.

When the Queen of the Sky was using the Spear of the Void, it really felt like Gilgamesh throwing out his Noble Phantasm.

After clearing his mind of distractions, Liu Yu roughly understood.

This is probably a usage restriction due to the condition of the accessory.

To fully utilize its potential, it might be necessary to pair it with a mimicry-type character like the Queen of the Sky or Kiana to achieve a transformative effect.

Liu Yu now feels that he has a general understanding of his own abilities.

Treasure chests can randomly yield toys and figurines from this world or other worlds, and there are connections between the figurines.

When paired with a unique mimicry character, the outfit creates a bond-like effect, significantly enhancing the character's abilities. While collectible figures have many limitations, once fully collected, they possess a unique and terrifying effect.

Of course, these are all just Liu Yu's guesses.

"Hey, Liu Yu. What are you thinking about? It's time to go!"

While Liu Yu was lost in thought, Xing reached out and waved her hand in front of him.

He snapped out of his daze and realized that March 7, Dan Heng, Alan, and the others had already gone back to the defense section of the central control room, leaving him standing there in a daze.
