I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"Here, take it and study it for a while."

"You really understand me~"

After handing the Godfall Sword over to the Great Black Tower, Hua Yi didn't leave empty-handed.

There was also the Flame Crystal brought back by the Bewitching King Insect.

It symbolizes possibility.

It is the foundation that transforms everything.

Hua Yi silently stirred up the long river of fate, creating waves where the principles of reproduction rose and fell, using the crystallization of flames as a foundation to trace back the existence of the Grammer Iron Cavalry.

Firefly's teammates did not embark on their fateful path; their mechs were their trump card against the swarm of insects.

But Hua Yi can't rely on the mecha's serial number to identify the deceased.

The Iron Riders lack a clear symbol of destiny. They imitate [breeding] but have never actually engaged in it. Coupled with their short lifespans, even their traces of existence are like fleeting fireflies, making them even more difficult to deal with than the Great Guardians of Beloborg.

Therefore, Hua Yi used a large number of insects as fuel to "illuminate" the silhouette of the Grammer cavalry.

Mind and spirit are immersed, driving [breeding] to activity, cleansing time and space, until a fleeting moment—

Caught.

Hua Yi crushed the flame crystal with ruthless force, and combined it with his memories of destiny to lock onto Liu Ying's past comrades in her mind to the greatest extent possible.

They were carefully scooped out.

Weave threads on the rushing river of time, set anchor points, and bind them.

Uh, I've run into a small problem.

The Great Guardian's lance can support the Great Guardian, but Hua Yi has nothing that fits the Iron Cavalry.

"Firefly, transform."

"Huh?" The girl was so engrossed in Hua Yi's noble demeanor and his serious yet handsome appearance that she didn't react for a moment.

"Put on the Sam armor."

"Oh, good!"

Amidst the flames, fireflies completed their armor donning.

Amidst the flames, Hua Yi guides souls toward [Sam].

The Great Guardian's soul rests within the lance; that's called the lance spirit. The Sam mech is currently...

It has an organic soul.

Machine Soul is overjoyed!

Chapter 620 Sam's Squad Leader

Back then, when Firefly traveled to one desolate planet after another that had become insect nests, fighting against the overwhelming insects alongside her teammates, those scenes were still deeply etched in her mind and had never faded in the slightest.

The Grammer cavalry rallied time and again; as long as the swarm remained, the cavalry would not cease their fight.

Firefly's elite combat unit, Sam Squad, consists of four members, all equipped with the [Firefly] type assault armor. Firefly herself is the Firefly IV type.

The captain is Firefly V, the glorious personal guard model.

The Iron Cavalry were weapons born for war; entropy loss shortened their lifespans, and they were never granted even basic human rights.

Naturally, they were not born with names, but only with cold numbers.

If you want to differentiate between them and distinguish their seniority and achievements, besides the type of mecha, the only thing left might be the length of the pilots' hair.

The longer your hair, the longer you live.

This is one of the few places where the Grammer Cavalry can truly express themselves.

However, some warriors, in order to better pilot their mechs, would often pick up their energy swords and arbitrarily cut their hair short.

Ruthlessly erase the parts that record one's life.

That's how the leader of Sam's squad is.

Liu Ying remembered her; she had the same hair and eye color as herself, but her hair wasn't long. She had a neat short hairstyle that only reached her neck.

The senior is reliable and powerful, always able to eliminate the most insects in battle and cover the team members.

After completing the mission, during the short rest period, the senior colleague, a valiant older sister, taught them how to use the various weapons of the mecha, imparted all kinds of combat skills, and looked after the team's growth.

Grammer's Code of Conduct, Article 8, states that surviving knights should voluntarily rejoin the unit.

However, after one battle, the captain failed to return to the team.

Her long hours of intense combat caused entropy loss to accelerate her death. Such a beautiful person, clearly in the prime of her life, met with the end of her physical collapse.

From then on, Sam's team no longer had a reliable senior to look after them, and Firefly became the veteran.

The three-man squad continued to shrink as the Grammer Ironclads amassed all their forces in order to wipe out a planet teeming with Zerg.

It was already the time when the Insect King had fallen, but the remaining swarms were still terrifying.

A terrifying shadow looms over the planet's surface and sky. Only by executing the decapitation plan and killing the queen of the swarm can we create a chance of victory and complete the annihilation mission.

On the brutal battlefield, the Grammer cavalry, sharing the same mission, pledged their loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen and cooperated seamlessly.

A soldier handed the detonator to Firefly, instructing her to press the button when the signal appeared.

This was a suicide attack.

Ironclad charged toward the mother insect's gaping maw with bombs, its armor pierced by blade-like limbs that tore through its flesh and blood, yet it still cried out, "For Her Majesty the Queen!" before perishing in the explosion alongside the mother insect.

There are too many; there are too many comrades-in-arms in Liu Ying's memory.

Those who know their adorable appearance after their armor is removed, and those who only have a cold, impersonal number.

"Is...is anyone able to hear me?"

Noticing the change in the mecha, Firefly asked in a trembling voice.

"I am..."

Another voice rang out from inside the armor. It wasn't the electronic voice that was built into the Firefly-type assault mechs, but a female voice that Firefly knew very well and had never forgotten.

Somewhat weak, lacking its former vigor, but the fireflies could still discern—

It's the leader of Sam's squad!

"Senior! This is wonderful... It's so good to hear your voice again..."

Liu Ying's voice choked with emotion, and her eyes glistened with tears.

"AR-26710."

The female voice did not call out Liu Ying's name. Weapons born for war do not have names; she called out their numbers.

"Why are you crying? The Grammer Knights must always be strong and fight for Her Majesty the Queen—what is going on now? I should be dead."

"It was Hua Yi, he saved the senior!"

Liu Ying laughed and cried at the same time, wiping away her tears and trying her best to explain the situation completely.

How did Hua Yi demand that the Bewitching King Insect sacrifice its swarm, and how did he use the power of destiny to stir up time and space and rescue people from the past?

When she was emotionally agitated, Ying's language organization skills became somewhat chaotic.

Fortunately, the message she conveyed was so unbelievable that the pauses and additions allowed the team leader to try and process it.

—It's not that easy to digest.

To cross time and space, life and death, to rescue someone from the past is simply a fantasy.

However, the fact that fireflies revealed the ability to cure entropy loss would allow weapons born for war to fight for life, raising suspicions of violating Grammer's military regulations and undermining the noble faith in Her Majesty the Empress.

"Firefly, did you give yourself such a name...?"

As the leader of Sam's squad, she should have pointed out the problem seriously.

However, with her strange senses, she witnessed the pitiful sight of Firefly with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips, and heard her excited and joyful tone. The senior who was supposed to be the older sister couldn't bring herself to criticize her.

"Now that we've embarked on a new chapter in our lives, how about changing our mindset?"

After Liu Ying finished explaining the situation, Hua Yi spoke up at the right time.

"In your mind, Her Majesty the Queen gave the Grammer Cavalry the meaning of life and existence, and it is reasonable for the Cavalry to fight for the Queen—now I am your savior, and I do not ask you to pledge your loyalty to me, but I have only one request."

"you……"

"Get along well with Liuying from now on, be considerate of her, live happily, and don't act like a senior. Emphasize Grammer's iron-fisted military rules: you are no longer a weapon, but just a girl."

Hua Yi made a request.

However, the captain couldn't readily agree.

She was indeed grateful for the life-saving grace.

But the Grammer cavalry are fearless, fighting with their lives on the line and dedicating everything to Her Majesty the Queen. Now that Hua Yi says she wants to live freely as an independent individual, how could the Captain simply nod in agreement?

This was also within Hua Yi's expectations.

"You won't be the only one I save from the Grimr 5.6 Ironclad, but rather the first one to awaken in the Soul Cluster. What, you don't want me to save your other companions?"

"……I think."

"And that Empress Titania, no matter what kind of being she is, I can rescue her~ Just to save your Empress, you should also listen and learn to accept a new life."

Hua Yi patiently guided and instructed the captain of Sam's Squad, Liu Ying's senior.

Weapons born for war have never seen such a scene.

No matter how heroic and valiant she is, it would be difficult for her to weigh the pros and cons in a short period of time.

Since it concerns Her Majesty the Queen, Miss Captain didn't really have a choice.

"Thank you for taking care of Firefly and saving me. And—if you can truly save more Iron Cavalry, or even Her Majesty the Empress, I will obey your orders and carry out any battle plan."

Chapter 621 Why did it have to be the Great Black Tower that kissed him!

This is what the Grammer Cavalry was like.

Even though Hua Yi explicitly told the captain to live a good life like a normal girl, she still kept talking about carrying out combat missions and dedicating her loyalty.

After watching the excitement for a while and recording the data throughout, the big black tower stepped forward and tapped the Sam mech.

"So this captain is currently a soul entity, residing within the mecha? Should I create a doll for her? Or could Ruan Mei use Liu Ying's genes to cultivate a clone, with customizable appearance and body shape?"

Who chooses?

The big black tower was clearly not for the captain to choose from; she said this to Hua Yi with a hint of provocation in her tone.

It's a style where Hua Yi molds people however he likes.

Tsk, how could I, a dignified and upright gentleman, be so easily tempted by you!

“The individual presence of the Grammer Iron Cavalry is weak. I was only able to directly retrieve her predecessor by relying on the guidance of the Firefly’s memories.”

Hua Yi glared at the big black tower.

"In my experience, souls are more likely to attract other souls. Captain will become the new origin, awakening comrades and gradually strengthening the Soul Cluster 23. Of course, if you want to obtain a body immediately, that's fine too, since it's a matter of materializing the soul."

With a slight thought, Hua Yi skillfully controlled the imaginary energy.

A figure gradually materialized in front of them.

With neat short silver hair and beautiful blue-purple eyes, her hair and eye color were exactly the same as Liu Ying's, except that her eyebrows and eyes had sharper lines.

She was slender, but possessed an extremely strong warrior aura, making her appear reliable and dashing.

Both women entered Pinocchio's dream to disguise themselves, but while Firefly could play the role of a new artist from the Iris family, Captain Miss couldn't.

I reckon he'd have to call himself a security manager for a hound family to match his demeanor.

AR-1368, her designation.

Born to fight, Firefly V pilots who fought until their last breath.
