Chapter 242: Is it Possible That Penacony's Final Boss is Actually Someone Else Entirely?
The release of this PV had undoubtedly cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
Seeing everyone silent and heavy-hearted, Stelle knew.
It was time to step up.
Time to play the "protagonist's" role!
Her gaze slowly grew resolute.
She said firmly, "Things have come to this, I think we have no other choice…"
"Facing such a powerful and terrifying Acheron…"
"We must all unite and fight together!"
Welt took a deep breath and said, "I agree."
"Since we have arrived at Penacony, the Astral Express shouldn't just look out for itself."
Himeko nodded. "Before Acheron destroys Penacony, we should stop her as much as we can."
March 7th gritted her teeth.
She made up her mind in that instant, too.
She stretched out a hand.
"This time, we of the Astral Express will stake our lives and join the crusade against Acheron!"
Welt's mouth twitched.
"March, where did you learn to say that?"
"What's wrong, Mr. Yang? I think it sounds cool! And it fits the situation perfectly!"
"Acheron is so strong, even the Astral Express might be in for a rough time…"
Suddenly.
Stelle's phone transmitted Kafka's voice.
"Everyone, I heard everything."
The next moment.
Kafka's holographic projection appeared directly in the carriage.
Although the situation was critical.
She remained calm and composed.
"It seems the Stellaron Hunters will be standing on the same front as the Astral Express this time."
Then,
Firefly's projection appeared too!
"Everyone from the Express, it's an honor to fight alongside you."
Silver Wolf's voice followed: "If you've decided, come to The Reverie Hotel. I've sent you the coordinates."
Then, Himeko asked Kafka for some details.
After learning the status of the hotel.
Himeko said, "Thank you."
Kafka waved, ending the transmission.
Their side was even more urgent; they needed to prepare immediately.
March 7th sighed. "I was feeling a lot of pressure, but thinking that we have the Stellaron Hunters as teammates makes it feel a lot lighter."
"As comrades-in-arms, they're actually very reliable!"
Stelle nodded in agreement.
At this moment,
The communication device on the train suddenly chimed.
Pom-Pom immediately received the signal.
A projection appeared before everyone!
And this time, it was Dan Heng!
"Dan Heng!"
"You finally came!"
March 7th and Stelle were even more excited!
It felt like they hadn't seen Dan Heng in forever!
Dan Heng greeted everyone first.
He said it wasn't the time for pleasantries.
"Everyone, I am aware of the situation in Penacony."
"This time, it's not just me coming to support; there's also General Jing Yuan… and the Xianzhou fleet."
Once these words were spoken,
Everyone in the carriage was stunned.
Himeko and Welt were no exception!
Unexpected!
Dan Heng hadn't been heard from in a long time, and now that he had news, he brought a big one!
He brought a Xianzhou army!
This reinforcement was critical!
It was like an adrenaline shot!
March 7th was so excited she was almost crying.
"Wuwuwu Dan Heng… I don't know what to say to you!"
"You're so reliable!"
"You only play high-end games, don't you!"
Dan Heng was a bit embarrassed by the praise.
He quickly explained, "…It's mostly General Jing Yuan's strategic planning and the pre-arranged armaments."
"It doesn't have much to do with me…"
After he finished.
Jing Yuan's projection appeared beside Dan Heng.
With his signature calm smile.
He asked, "Everyone, my surprise troops arrived just in time, didn't they?"
"It's perfect timing! General Jing Yuan!"
"Seeing Dan Heng and you, I feel so safe!"
Welt stepped forward and expressed, "General Jing Yuan, thank you for your support."
Jing Yuan waved his hand.
Gesturing for everyone to sit down.
"The Astral Express is a guest of my Luofu Xianzhou."
"We on the Xianzhou have a saying—Those who offend the Xianzhou shall be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
"The Astral Express is facing a crisis in Penacony, as a General, I should naturally give my all to help!"
March 7th sighed in her heart.
Old Jing, oh Old Jing…
As expected of you.
You really know how to talk!
Even March 7th felt her blood boiling at this moment.
The previous gloom seemed to have been swept away.
Welt, as the representative, discussed the details with Dan Heng and Jing Yuan.
Once everything was ready.
The Astral Express prepared to disembark.
Heading to The Reverie Hotel!
The Family had already arranged reception personnel at the docking port.
Knowing it was the Astral Express,
The reception staff were very enthusiastic.
They opened all doors for them throughout the process.
Soon, they arrived at the core area of the hotel!
At this moment.
The atmosphere on this floor was very heavy.
It could be said that they had been pushed to the forefront of the storm!
Various forces in the universe were stirring.
But they weren't stirring to go to war; many were already planning to slip away!
"Ding!"
The elevator chimed.
Who would be willing to rush to this "battlefield" at this time?
It instantly attracted a lot of attention!
As the elevator doors opened.
Himeko, Welt, March 7th, and Stelle walked out in turn.
Seeing that the reinforcements were the Astral Express.
Everyone was stunned for a moment!
Then, a cheer erupted!
"AHHHHHHH!!!"
"It's the Express! Good heavens! The protagonists are finally here!"
"Seeing the Express makes me feel like I can do it again!"
"They have the protagonist halo, it's a guaranteed win!"
"Damn it! Let's do this!"
"The Express is here! Why are we still retreating!"
"Sister Stelle, I'm your fan!"
"Just following Sister Stelle to charge is all that's needed!"
The appearance of the Astral Express.
Instantly boosted the morale of those participating in the crusade!
As the representative of the Family, Sunday immediately stepped forward to welcome and thank the Astral Express for their help.
Subsequently, Sunday looked at the Memokeeper.
"In that case, everyone, get ready."
Meanwhile,
Outside the planet of Penacony.
Xianzhou ships began to land above Penacony.
Looking from afar,
It was as if many stars had suddenly appeared in the sky!
Many people seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.
Just as everyone was pleasantly surprised.
The corridor ahead suddenly began to change!
The Memokeeper quickly took a few steps back.
This wasn't her doing.
It was the people in that area who had actively opened the barrier!
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly.
Welt held his cane, his gaze cold.
Himeko held her suitcase against her chest.
March 7th and Stelle also took out their bow and spear respectively!
The area suddenly became blurry.
Like a reflection in water being disturbed.
Suddenly!
"BOOM!!!"
A violent explosion occurred in that area!
It blew a gap directly into the corridor and the railing!
Immediately after.
Several figures darted out from the smoke!
"CLANG!!!"
"CLANG!!"
On the scene.
The sound of numerous weapons being drawn rang out all at once.
And those figures appeared in everyone's field of vision one by one.
They were all standing in the air.
Divided into left and right sides.
All held weapons!
Clearly.
The explosion just now was caused by the crossfire between the two sides.
The three on the left,
Were the Stellaron Hunters!
Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Sam!
The two on the right.
Were Acheron and Black Swan!
"What's going on!?"
"Black Swan isn't dead? And she's on the same side as Acheron?"
"Damn! Old Swan, blink if you're being threatened!"
"What do we do! Attack directly or…?"
"Fortunately, it looks like Acheron hasn't drawn her blade yet!"
Acheron's expression shifted slightly.
She scanned her surroundings.
Unable to help but sigh.
She knew many people would come to crusade against her this time.
But she didn't expect so many to come…
Although she was a Self-Annihilator,
She really wasn't their enemy…
Who knew what was going on with that PV!
Why she would draw her blade and destroy Penacony.
Maybe it was a dream, or… an illusion?
Of course.
Acheron also knew that these explanations were a bit too pale and weak now.
She could tell just by looking at how these people were on high alert.
Penacony must have a big boss.
If it wasn't her,
Then who could it be?
Suddenly.
Acheron seemed to think of something.
Her gaze, filled with some doubt and suspicion… looked towards the Family's side.
To be precise.
She looked at Sunday in the crowd!
Beside her,
Black Swan saw Acheron's gaze and was lost in thought.
There were some things she had also suspected, but she had no evidence.
And at this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was so tense.
Something had to be done.
Black Swan took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, put down your weapons first."
"What I want to say is…"
"Is there a possibility that the boss of Penacony is someone else?"
