"Huohuo looks like an Xianzhou character at first glance."
"Argenti, I don't know. I only know that the Simulated Universe's Knights of Beauty event has this name. Whether it's a Penacony character or not is still unknown for now."
"Speaking of which, the Xianzhou already has Emanators. I guess the final big boss of Penacony will probably also be at the Emanator level."
"As for who it is, I don't know."
[How about making Leon a boss?]
[That's actually possible. The Leon boss from Mei's segment of the plot still hasn't appeared again, and it hasn't been added to the Chaos Memories either.]
"???"
Ah Xian rubbed her chin, her thoughts flowing.
"Putting him in the Abyss as a boss isn't impossible either, but that would also mean there's a high probability he'll have a corresponding playable character form, right?"
"This isn't without basis. There are quite a few playable characters who have already entered the Abyss as bosses."
"Brother Jie, Ducky, Kafka, Yanqing. Svarog counts as half?"
"Don't say it, the fallen version of Leon husband is so damn hot… I want to be tied up and whipped by him..."
[Such a calm inverted vocabulary.]
[Such a funny way of generating electricity.]
[To be fair, it really is top-tier. Some people just eat this kind of contrast.]
[So the question is: four-star is a healer, five-star already has Harmony. If they release a blackened version of Leon as a playable character, will it be four-star or five-star? What Path?]
"No need to say it. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be the main DPS form focused on violent output."
Ah Xian analyzed with a confident expression.
"At that time, the damage numbers dealt by the blackened husband were purple, which means the attribute is Quantum."
"I suddenly noticed a small coincidence… Currently, all five Quantum characters are female. If blackened Leon comes out, will it break the existing coincidence?"
"Right now, the known male satellites that haven't entered the gacha pool yet seem to be only Screwllum and Aventurine, right?"
"Aventurine only exists in the Light Cone background, so it's temporarily unclear, but Screwllum's clothing color scheme doesn't look like Quantum."
[What you're saying is, Argenti, whose color scheme is basically the same as Himeko's, wouldn't make you think he's Physical at first glance either, right?]
[Indeed. Guessing attributes based on a character's image color scheme can sometimes be used as a basis, but it's not 100% accurate.]
[Although Huohuo looks like Wind at first glance, and in reality she is Wind.]
"Alright, forget about attributes for now. Let's guess the Path."
"The nation of Izumo is tainted with Nihility. Based on how closely it's tied to the plot… hmm… it might be a DoT-type Nihility character!"
"A Nihility support is probably unlikely. If it's not DoT, then it would be an output type like Welt."
"If the Path isn't Nihility, then it can only be Destruction. I don't think The Hunt or Erudition fit very well… Okay, I can't say for sure either."
She suddenly thought of the two cases of Himeko and Jing Yuan.
Himeko aside for now, Jing Yuan was clearly an Emanator of The Hunt, yet his playable character Path was Erudition.
And his character setting was that of a wise general. Isn't that a coincidence?
Based on the existing plot and characterization, Leon also has a strategist setting. Erudition isn't impossible either.
As for The Hunt, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't really fit.
[Too small-minded. Why can't it be a new Path?]
Seeing this danmaku, Ah Xian was stunned.
[Even Genshin Impact can introduce a new Grass element in later versions. Why can't Honkai: Star Rail introduce a new Path? Besides, there are already ready-made ones available.]
"…That's true."
Currently, the Paths players can obtain are only seven.
Preservation, The Hunt, Harmony, Nihility, Destruction, Abundance, Erudition.
But in the Simulated Universe, there are Paths like Propagation, Remembrance, and Elation that haven't been implemented yet.
Taking a step back—
Leon also has his own unknown Path that he walks.
This plotline has never been fully revealed. There might still be a lot of big information.
However...
Ah Xian once again thought of certain texts.
That was, even the Path that the Sky Haven Clan and Leon himself once walked wasn't particularly good at offense.
Or rather, direct killing power wasn't their strong point.
Sigh, I really don't understand this game's plot Paths and playable character Paths. To be honest, it's quite messy.
"Forget it. I won't think about it too much for now. It's still early."
"Who knows, maybe until the banner is up, we won't even see the blackened Leon's illustration… if there's a plan to add him to the gacha in the future."
"Let's go, let's go. Time to do the Honkai: Star Rail Pokémon event and see if the event plot has any fun."
Ah Xian never expected that there would not only be fun, but quite a lot of it — so much that she almost got so angry her nose went crooked.
The event was called Interstellar Decisive Victory Celebration.
Under the sales pitch of an employee from a company called Wilder, players would play a PVP battle game called Ether Frontline.
In simple terms, it was catching monsters and then challenging playable characters one by one.
The opponents included the new character Guinaifen, as well as many old characters.
Leon was shockingly among them, and he was even the hidden Extra Boss challenging the Guardian.
If the prerequisite conditions weren't met, the challenge entrance couldn't be activated.
As a hidden stage, the difficulty of defeating Leon could be described as hell-level. It was much harder than the final boss Hook.
After sitting through nearly two hours of suffering, Ah Xian still couldn't beat him.
In the end, she had no choice but to admit defeat and look up a guide. Only then, with a bit of luck, did she barely win after losing three more rounds.
Yes, even copying a guide had a pretty high chance of losing. That's how hard it was.
Before the battle, Leon said that winning against him would give generous rewards.
But when she actually won the match and went to talk to Leon to submit the quest—
The familiar person in front of her had turned into Sparkle!!!
"Hehe, didn't expect that, did you, little gray hair?"
"You got played~~"
Mocking Grass Sparkle
In that instant, not only Ah Xian, but countless players were stunned.
They finally understood why Sparkle had appeared in the debt plot of the interlude chapter and assisted Leon's plan in the lower district.
It turned out she was there to collect interest — pretending to be Leon to mess with the players for fun.
So annoying!
Ah Xian's face turned red with anger. Super red.
Because she had been simping hard for nearly five minutes toward the Sparkle who had turned into Leon.
Now the entire stream was filled with cheerful air. The audience and friends were almost laughing themselves to death.
Seeing that the quest still required her to find the real Leon afterward, Ah Xian gritted her teeth and ground them together.
While opening the map, she kept cursing in her heart about wanting to give the bratty girl Sparkle a good beating with a stick or something.
"I'm so pissed I'm dizzy. I'm going to draw a doujinshi of husband using his big cannon to bombard Sparkle!!!"
[Good good good good, draw it quickly!]
[This is exactly what you do. I support it!]
[But Ah Xian, you already have a doujinshi with Leon. Isn't drawing this like finding yourself a cuck?]
"??!"
Ah Xian's face twitched.
That… actually made sense...
But if she didn't draw it, she wouldn't be able to swallow this anger.
"But looking at it from another angle, if Sparkle gets disciplined by Leon husband, doesn't that also count as being disciplined by me, the official wife?"
[???]
[What the hell?!]
[What a twisted perspective. We need to call in an expert for this household.]
"Who told Sparkle to be such a bratty girl?"
Ah Xian rolled her eyes. Near the fountain in the Administrative District plaza, she found Leon sitting on a chair.
This couldn't also be Sparkle in disguise, right?
She couldn't help but mutter inwardly.
After listening to her complaint, Leon was silent for a moment before speaking in a gentle voice to comfort her.
"Sparkle is a Masked Fool who excels at disguise. She loves transforming to mess with people. Next time you see her, teach her a lesson."
"Here. This is something I found while surveying Jarilo-VI. Take it. Calm down first."
