Chapter 328: Acheron Wants to Kill Nihility?! Dan Heng: "Hurry Up and Use the Jade Abacus of Alliance!"
Acheron's flashback continued.
The Elder: "Fear? I can barely sense such an emotion from you. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that these crimson memories will leave me too. There aren't many colors left that I can see. Except for this faint, warm red, I have almost nothing."
The Elder sighed, "It's truly hard to imagine… a Ranger accustomed to blood, ruin, and chaos could actually see warmth in the color red."
"Because of this warmth, I have also held many things. A long time ago, I made a promise with someone to bring it to more people, to pursue… a better ending for everyone in every moment of my remaining life."
"As long as this splash of red remains, I still have a chance to fulfill that promise. It can be a burning fire, a blooming flower, or a cluster of berries in this cave… It is life itself, fleeting, yet dazzling enough."
"In the end, it will lead me across the horizon of existence, to the end of the other shore… to sever Nihility."
As soon as Acheron spoke these words.
For a moment, the many players watching the livestream were stunned!
Then, they felt a deep, heartfelt shock!
…
"!??"
"What did she say…"
"So Acheron's ultimate goal is actually… to slay an Aeon!?"
"Sever Nihility? That's equivalent to an Emanator of Destruction trying to destroy Nanook!"
"Rebellion against the heavens!"
"Good, good, good… I can only say, as expected of Acheron!"
"Badass!"
"Luocha and Jingliu would call her an expert!"
"Are you really that fierce, sister?"
"Even though she has the strength of an Emanator, Acheron's style far exceeds her peers."
"I can't even imagine what the future plot will look like when it reaches that point…"
…
The Elder also lamented, "Blessed by the Sleeping Faceless One, yet thinking about how to kill Him? That is truly… utter Nihility."
"However, you are right about one thing. After staying by this rainy, stagnant water for so long, only when looking at this crimson fire do I realize that I am still alive."
At this moment.
Acheron suddenly spoke another intriguing line:
"The rain… when will it stop?"
The Elder replied, "Perhaps… when all the resentment of the deceased is appeased, the sky will clear up."
…
The gap between dream and reality.
After watching this self-narration.
Black Swan and Acheron looked at each other in silence for a while.
Only silence remained.
After a long while.
Black Swan spoke first, "Miss Acheron…"
"To want to sever Nihility, this is an unprecedented path…"
"No, even… 'path' is not the right word to describe it."
"I think, other than the game Honkai: Star Rail, nothing in the world can record your footsteps anymore."
Acheron raised her head slightly.
A faint light flashed in her purple eyes.
"Yes…"
"My destination lies deep within the dark web that separates reality from Nihility, where the secret named IX is hidden."
"But now…"
"I think I have a second path to choose."
"And that is… the game Honkai: Star Rail."
Black Swan opened her mouth slightly.
She was trying to figure out what Acheron meant by this.
After all, she belonged to the Path of Remembrance, not the Path of Nihility.
She didn't know much about how to fight Nihility!
But Acheron's words gave her a premonition!
Acheron continued, "Its existence has shown me another way to fight Nihility."
"It can record everything, and it can predict everything."
"Its existence, in a sense, is Nihility's greatest enemy…"
"And I met Feathered Spirit before."
"H e gave me a chance to make a wish."
"Perhaps this will be the key to my severing of Nihility."
Black Swan didn't know what to say anymore!
What was this?
Planning together on how to kill an Aeon?
This was simply too crazy…
She was terrified that in the next second, the gaze of the Sleeping Faceless One would cast over them!
Fortunately…
Acheron's plan still seemed to be in the conceptual stage.
By the day it was actually implemented.
Presumably…
The entire universe would change!
At this moment.
Another line of subtitles appeared in the livestream room.
[ 4 System Hours Before the Opening of the Charmony Festival - Astral Express ]
This made Black Swan breathe a sigh of relief.
If they continued to chat along this topic…
She estimated that she would turn from the Path of Remembrance to the Path of Nihility herself…
In the livestream room.
Resuming the previous scene where the Astral Express crew gathered.
Black Swan saw that she also appeared in this scene.
…
"The Path shrouded under the light of Penacony is not pure; the Harmony here has been mixed with impurities."
Black Swan: "Do you still remember the ancient Swarm Disaster? The Propagation, Tayzzyronth, brought endless catastrophe to the universe, and this catastrophe eventually evolved into the War of the Aeons amidst chaos and confusion…"
"A total of two Paths lost their Aeons in this great war: Propagation and Order. Coincidentally, the turning points of both Paths are related to a certain Aeon…"
"The Harmony's Xipe. It is said that She participated in the Aeons' crusade against the Sand King, and for unknown reasons, absorbed Ena the Order," Acheron added.
Boothill showed an exaggerated expression, "What the Wubbaboo, holy moly… are you guys trying to say that two masterless Paths might be playing tricks in the dark?"
Dan Heng spoke, "But no descendants of Propagation have appeared in Penacony. Can I understand it as the remnants of the Beyond the Sky Choir lurking within the Family, wanting to resurrect a fallen Aeon?"
"It cannot be determined yet, but at least it is certain that they plan to use the Charmony Festival to do something."
Boothill: "What in the Wubbaboo, it's so complicated. So, what do you mean by asking us to leave Asdana immediately? Don't tell me you're out of options?"
Acheron: "The Charmony Festival is about to open. There is one thing… I need to verify no matter what. Warping is the most effective means."
Dan Heng's gaze suddenly sank.
"No, precisely because time is pressing…"
"I will immediately use other means."
Just after Dan Heng said this.
The Xianzhou BGM suddenly played!
Even Acheron showed a somewhat surprised look.
Boothill even gritted his teeth and asked directly, "You aren't going to use the Jade Abacus, are you?!"
"That thing can only be used once in a lifetime. You'd better think it through."
"I have thought it through. My companions… can also only be had once in a lifetime," Dan Heng answered without hesitation.
…
"AHHHHHHH!!!!"
"I knew it!"
"As expected, the things left behind from the Xianzhou plot are all foreshadowing!"
"Is he going to use it? Is he going to use it!"
"A burst of powerful music plays!"
"The local tune of my homeworld."
"It's back, it's all back!"
"Hahaha, Boothill's face changed instantly, so funny!"
"Boothill was still smiling, but his mouth dropped when he heard the Jade Abacus."
"A master of face-changing, brother!"
"Ahhh, Dan Heng, you are so good, the Express family!"
"[ 'My companions… can also only be had once in a lifetime' ]… Who understands this, family! Dan Heng saying this with a serious face!"
"Dan Heng: No, guys, why are we playing mind games here? Let's just call King Yuan to strike them all down!"
"Having backing from home makes one speak with confidence!"
"Don't say it! Really, don't say it! The Xianzhou fleet is actually coming!"
