I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"That is Kripper Castle, the heart of Beloborg, the headquarters of the Builders, and also the residence of the High Guardian. The High Guardian is the supreme ruler of Beloborg. Since seven hundred years ago, when the people honored Lady Alisarand as the hero who protected the city from disaster, this title has been passed down from generation to generation."

Jepard paused before Crepper Castle, silently organizing his thoughts, pondering how to report to the current High Warden, Cocolialand, striving to convey the power and goodwill of the extraterrestrial visitors.

"Lady Bronya!"

The greetings from his subordinates behind him made the taciturn guard officer feel like he had found a savior.

Lady Bronya is the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard and the adopted daughter of Lady Cocolia. It would be more appropriate for her to lead Hua Yi and his group to meet the High Guardian than for him to do so.

Upon realizing this, Jepard immediately reported to his superiors about encountering the extraterrestrial visitors in the snowfield.

Hua Yi gazed quietly at the young girl with long, silver-gray hair that reached her waist; she was young but possessed a composed demeanor.

Children from poor families mature early, and a snow-covered city like Belleburg is clearly a harsh environment that urges children to grow up quickly and shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Bronya listened attentively to the garrison officer's report, her delicate and flawless face filled with seriousness, her brows and eyes revealing the fortitude of a soldier, yet her subconscious furrowed brows betrayed a hint of worry.

Even before discovering this team of Silvermane Iron Guards, the girl was already worried about Belloberg's future.

"I have a general understanding of the situation. I will now be in charge of receiving the extraterrestrial visitors."

"Yes!"

Jepard left with his men, and thanks to the elimination of a large number of Rift Monsters, the Silvermane Iron Guards, who had fought a hard battle, were finally able to have a respite.

As the commander of the Iron Guard, Bronya understood this even better.

She understood that the Silvermane Iron Guards were actually at a disadvantage in the battle against the Rift Monsters. Neither the automatons nor the ordinary soldiers could stand alone. Even though her mother had transferred all the Iron Guards from the lower districts, she still couldn't reverse the situation.

The rift's erosion has even spread into the city of Beloborg, forcing the Silvermane Iron Guards to block the streets, relocate residents, and create a new forbidden zone within the city.

The High Keeper's act of transferring the Iron Guardians from the lower Beloborg district was tantamount to abandoning the people there. However, the situation in the upper district in 5.3 did not improve significantly as a result, and humanity still struggled to survive against the Rift monsters.

Bronya had repeatedly expressed confusion about her mother's decision to mobilize the Silvermane Guards, but after becoming the leader of the Guards and discovering that Berlberg had never achieved a truly meaningful victory, she also felt greatly bewildered.

Even if he successfully persuades his mother to transfer the Iron Guard back to the lower district to protect the people there, will the remaining troops in the upper district be able to maintain the front line and fight against the monsters?

Now, new rifts have appeared on the streets of Belleburg, requiring a team of Iron Guards to guard the area. This puts further strain on the already limited manpower, especially considering the possibility of more rifts appearing in the city—

Bronya dared not think any further.

Chapter 146 Rift Erosion within the City

If Estelle once worried about her own future, Bronya bore the fate of the planet's last city.

She wanted to share her mother's burdens and protect the people of Belleburg.

But it's too difficult, really too difficult.

"..."

Letting the girl drift off into her own thoughts, and sort out her jumbled emotions, Hua Yi broke the silence after a moment.

“I can imagine how arduous Belloberg’s seven hundred years of struggle for survival must have been. If Miss Bronya encounters an emergency, please speak up; we may be able to offer assistance. The meeting with the High Warden can be postponed; the Silvermane Iron Guard Commander’s trust will save a lot of trouble in subsequent negotiations.”

While expressing goodwill, she also gave a reason. Although Bronya didn't think her trust was worth much, that didn't stop her from having some desires.

"Besides the cold wave, there are many other threats. Now that you have already encountered monsters in the snowfield, could you lend a helping hand again to help eliminate the Rift Creatures within the city of Beloborg?"

"No problem, I'll take as many as you bring!"

Xing, who had been quiet for half a day, was already itching to get back to work. When she heard that there was another battle she was good at, she immediately stood up to make her presence known.

Anyway, Huayi11 just said that they are willing to help, so it's my turn to lend a hand.

"And this girl too~"

March 7th was not to be outdone.

Watching Hua Yi politely converse with the Belloberg people and receive respect and courtesy, she was afraid that she might say the wrong thing if she spoke rashly. Now she could finally show her skills, no, she could finally unleash her potential.

Let's set off immediately!

"This way, please."

Regardless, after experiencing the friendliness of these extraterrestrial visitors, Bronya was finally able to show a more relaxed smile.

Not far from the city center of Belleburg, in an alley, the Silver Mane Iron Guards at the entrance sternly rebuked an old man who tried to trespass.

"Back off! This is the final warning!"

"But, but... my proof of assets is still inside, I didn't have time to do anything..."

"The rift has already invaded the neighborhood! You can submit a request to the Builders to reclaim your supplies, but non-Iron Guard members are prohibited from entering!"

Another guard patiently persuaded him.

"Sir, you should give up on that idea. The edge passage is very dangerous right now, and we're doing this for your safety."

"If I can't get proof of assets, what's the difference between me and someone who's dead?! Make way and let me in!"

From afar, Bronya could hear the argument between the Silvermane Iron Guards and the elderly citizens, and her eyes darkened.

"I made you laugh."

Then, the girl had to pull herself together, put on a capable and reliable appearance that could bring hope to the guards and the people, and went to the alley entrance to speak loudly.

"We will complete the monster cleanup in this waiting area as soon as possible, and then begin processing the request to reclaim supplies. Sir, please go home and submit your application according to the procedure."

"Lady Bronya?...Alright, I'll leave it to you."

Compared to ordinary Iron Guardians, Bronya's promise as the High Warden's adopted daughter and future heir is clearly more convincing.

However, this doesn't really qualify as a promise.

She didn't even dare to say that she had found extraterrestrials to help her and that she would be able to eliminate the monsters immediately.

Belloberg's reality was too cruel; with countless cycles of hope and despair, the young woman, in the prime of her life, was gradually feeling overwhelmed.

But she couldn't show any negativity in front of the people. If even the leader of the Silvermane Iron Guard, the successor trained by the Great Guardian, was no longer full of determination and courage, how would ordinary people who should have been protected by the City Builders face their fate?

They will panic, they will fall into despair, and Belloberg will no longer be able to maintain order and peace.

"The main force of the Silvermane Iron Guard is defending the front lines, and there aren't many soldiers available to be deployed from within the city. You..."

You can wait a moment while I gather the Iron Guards to clean up the monsters in this polluted neighborhood.

Before Bronya could finish speaking, Xing rushed straight in.

"Just watch my performance!"

"Eh?"

"Don't worry, they're very capable."

With Xing leading the charge and San Yueqi close behind, just in case, Hua Yi knew that the erosion of the boundary by such imaginary number fluctuations was not too exaggerated, and the two girls could handle it more than enough.

As he, Himeko, and Bronya followed Hoshiguma who had rushed out, he asked her a question.

"Does the train have a way to deal with the rift?"

“If this were in the middle of nowhere, I could use my railguns to bombard it, or even have the Star Train crash into it directly, using extraordinary energy to crush and distort the spatial rifts, thus destroying the rift. But this is inside the city of Beloborg…”

Himeko couldn't offer a perfect solution, and her tone was apologetic, but the fact that extraterrestrial visitors could destroy the Rift immediately brightened Bronya's previously dim eyes.

Once she saw that there were no more pedestrians or operating equipment ahead, and the sparsely populated alley was deserted, the wandering Frost Crystal Birds were easily eliminated by Xing with a single blow, and the flame of hope gradually ignited in the girl's heart.

These extraterrestrial visitors might actually bring a turning point in Belloberg's life.

Since the emergence of the rift erosion, the alley, which seemed to have lost its vitality as the citizens evacuated, has become vibrant again in Bronya's eyes.

The sound of the bat shattering the twisted bird and the arrow piercing 397 anomalous life forms was the most reassuring sound the girl had ever heard in her life.

Unlike the ordinary Silvermane Iron Guards who struggled to defend against monster attacks, this was now a one-sided crushing defeat.

Bronya was pleasantly surprised; the young girl was finally showing some vitality.

"Okay, so awesome!"

"Done~"

Xing, holding a baseball bat, charged from one end of the alley to the other, then circled back from the other end without blinking.

"As expected of Galaxy Bat Man and the super super super awesome March 7th."

Hua Yi wouldn't ask Xing if her eyes were dry; instead, he would offer praise at the right moment.

The group stopped at the chasm in the middle of the alley.

"Although the ice crystal creations have been completely cleared away, as long as this erosion still exists, new monsters could appear at any time, and the Silvermane Iron Guards must remain on duty and patrol at all times, right?"

"This is already an unexpectedly optimistic development, thank you."

"I'll give it a try and see if I can go any further."

A greatsword wreathed in flames materialized in Hua Yi's hand; its temperature was enough to melt ice and snow, and its light enough to illuminate the gloom.

Bronya glanced at him, then watched as he swung his sword down, the blade landing on the rift in the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 147 The Master of Rift Repair—Hua Yi

With a swing of his giant hammer, the guardian star god Kripper can create a barrier measured in light-years at the edge of the universe, isolating and protecting worlds that still have life.

At this moment, Hua Yi, wielding the Flame Sword, stirred up the protective power to build a wall on the rift, attempting to block the inside from the outside and repair the space.

The baryon channels of the Antimatter Legion, the phase flames collected at the Black Tower Space Station, the [Pioneer]'s boundary anchors and stellar trains—

He has obtained many reference examples about space.

Observe with your own eyes and analyze carefully.

The star core inside the star was initially contained in the space station by the Black Tower. The genius girl conducted research on it, and the rift is also a classic topic in various departments. The database stores a large amount of information.

Hua Yi is not lacking in knowledge about space and rifts, and he also understands that [Preservation] has a unique advantage in dealing with this kind of spatial distortion phenomenon.

The flames burned fiercely, catching Bronya's eye.

That was the familiar rhythm of preservation, the very reason why Belloberg had been able to stand firm for seven hundred years in the cold wave, yet the lively spirit it presented felt unfamiliar to the girl.

Beneath the Fiery Sword, the flames flowed like water, seeping into the cracks of the rift without missing a single corner.

It permeates, overflows, fills the space, and then transforms into a film of light.

It slowly filled in the space at a pace that was not too fast, but certainly observable.

Points of light emerged from the edge of the rift, more like "stitching" than being burned by the protective fire.

The spatial rift slowly shrank, and even after Hua Yi withdrew the Flame Sword, the repairs continued!

At this rate, the crack will disappear completely in just a few days.

The Beloberg Pathfinders could only contend with the monsters, but failed to interfere with the Rift.

Even though this isolated city can be described as a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, such a small city has produced many extraordinary individuals who have embarked on their destiny journey. They have severed their connection with the universe, worked in isolation, had no predecessors to guide them, and had no precedents to refer to. Defending against monster attacks is the limit that these travelers on their destiny journey can do.

Now, even the rift can be repaired.

Even Himeko, with her vast experience, was deeply surprised by Hua Yi's methods, let alone the young girl from Belloberg.

An unimaginable miracle had occurred, and Bronya couldn't help but secretly pinch her palm to confirm that she wasn't dreaming.

She grabbed Hua Yi's hand with a look of excitement on her face.

"I'll take you to see the High Guardian right away and explain the situation!"

Repairing the Rift Erosion has a completely different significance, far exceeding simply eliminating monsters.

The latter merely delays the further deterioration of the situation, while the former can reverse the increasingly difficult survival situation for humanity.

If Bronya initially thought that seeing Xinghe and March 7's immense strength would ease the pressure on the Silvermane Guards, now, witnessing Hua Yi's heroic deeds, she is certain that the extraterrestrial visitor will be Berloberg's savior.

"...Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Since only Hua Yi can repair the rift, we should be fully courteous and not let him develop a dislike for Belloberg and leave in anger. We should also not think too one-sidedly and only consider things from Belloberg's perspective, causing him to fall ill.

"It seems I have gained the Silvermane Iron Guard commander's trust?"

"Yes! If you have any requests, as long as they do not come at the cost of the lives of the people of Beloborg, I can fulfill them. Even if it is a decision that requires the approval of the High Guardian, I will do my best to persuade you."

Although my mother hasn't been taking my advice much lately.
