*Whoosh-*
Because the Fifth Crew had already scouted this universe, the moment they entered this world, information popped up on the Hyperdimensional Starmap.
[What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you free? Can you come save us? (Tier II Magical World)]
This world possesses a widely applied magical power and life forms called “Gods,” but lacks the ability to interfere with the structure of the universe.
Besides humans, the planet is inhabited by a large number of other races.
Relative Strength Comparison:
Military Strength: As insignificant as ants.
Economic Strength: As insignificant as ants.
Technological Strength: As insignificant as ants.
“Eh?”
Haruhi Suzumiya squeezed her head onto the holographic interface, rubbing against Lu Chen, staring at the projected content.
“What kind of world is this? Why is the name so long?!”
“I thought the other worlds on the starmap only had a few words?”
“Ha.”
Lu Chen ruffled her hair.
“It’s a feature. There might be worlds with even weirder names in the future.”
“Like, ‘Is it okay to fall in love with you, a mom who attacks normally hits the entire group and does double attacks?’ Or we can shorten it to ‘My mom’s basic attack is AOE with follow-up.'”
“???”
“Really?!”
Kichi, Himeko, and Haruhi, who were watching, were stunned.
“Mm-hmm.”
Lu Chen remained noncommittal.
The Astral Express crossed the edge of the universe from across the galaxy, passing through the boundless void like a shooting star.
For most worlds, their stage is an entire universe, but their stories mostly take place on a single planet.
As long as you can handle one planet, with a few aliens added in, you can claim the entire world.
The *SukaSuka* world was just like that.
*Whoosh—*
Before long, in a distant galaxy, they encountered another Astral Express waiting on standby.
*Clank—*
The two trains docked together.
“Commander~”
“You’re too slow! I’ve already wandered around the planet below! If you hadn’t come, I would have run away with those girls~”
A bright pink figure threw herself into his arms.
Elysia gave Lu Chen a hug and lightly tapped his lips.
“Oh? Then I’ll confiscate your Pink Elf Paradise.”
Lu Chen smiled, tightening his embrace, and pinched her beautiful cheeks.
“No! That’s the token of love you gave me!”
Elysia pouted, hitting him twice.
Then, she sized up the new members of the First Crew, many of whom she didn’t recognize.
Some of the girls from the three worlds had come up.
“Commander, your speed of conquering worlds is so fast… No, you’ve tricked so many girls again!”
She pinched Lu Chen.
Although she had known for a long time that no one in the Starsea Empire could monopolize the Commander, Elysia couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed seeing that the First Crew had explored several worlds and gained nearly half a new crew.
There were mature women, young girls, and even little lolis.
“Ahem, I was invited by the Commander to travel with the Astral Express temporarily. Please let me know if you need my help.”
Ariel greeted her with Shiro.
Kumoko was still very socially awkward, looking at Elysia and nodding.
Eh? This pink-haired girl is so pretty? And she seems to have a good relationship with the Commander? Could it be what I’m thinking?
“She’s not human, is she? How can a human have such perfect looks? No, no, there are a lot of strange people in the Starsea Empire to begin with…”
Wait, what does it mean that the Commander tricked so many girls again? Does the Commander often do this kind of thing?! Tricking girls from all over the world to come home and then…
Shiro, relying on the parallel processing of several ministers, brainstormed a 5000+ word plot about Lu Chen’s private life in a short amount of time.
The level of excitement was no less than any eroge or adult novel.
Then, without showing any expression on her face, she nodded slightly to Elysia:
“I… I’m called Shiro.”
“Commander, give me body, I temporarily, with him together.”
“…A bit aloof, huh.”
Elysia was at a loss for words.
Yoshino Koharu, Sanae Kouzuki, and several other ordinary people, as well as Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato, also greeted the Fifth Crew one after another.
They curiously looked at each other.
After a long period of commotion, the three crews settled down.
Elysia led the Fifth Crew, and Gudako and Mash led the Sixth Crew, gathering in the Astral Express’s car to discuss the matter of conquering the world together.
“Ahem—”
“After arriving in this world, we conducted reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.”
“Um… because we wanted to solve the problems of this world as perfectly as possible, we didn’t act rashly, so we invited the Commander over.”
Elysia projected the relevant information.
*SukaSuka*
In ancient times, the entire planet consisted only of beasts and deserts. Later, the “Star Gods” came to this world as outsiders.
Of course, the “Star Gods” of the *SukaSuka* world, although nominally gods, are different from the Star Gods of the *Honkai: Star Rail* world, who symbolize philosophical concepts.
They are a relatively powerful race who were forced to leave their homeland due to some kind of disaster in the very distant past and began a life of wandering in the universe.
The Star Gods traveled between various worlds in spaceships, and after arriving here, the Star Gods settled in the world of beasts.
The elders of the Star God race, tired of the lonely journey and wanting to transform the planet into the image of their own world, mostly chose self-destruction, using their immensely large souls as sand to create fragments, cursing the planet’s original life—the original beast swarm.
The fragments fused with the beasts, creating humans, and then constructing forests and water sources, gradually giving rise to other races.
Humans became the overlords of the planet for quite a long time, but the number of soul fragments of the Star Gods was fixed.
As the number of humans gradually increased, the fragments gradually could not support the large number of humans and slowly became ineffective, and humans began to revert to their original beast form.
In order to prevent the world from being destroyed by the beasts, the Earth Gods under the Star Gods decided to exterminate humans, and humans decided to fight the Star Gods in order to survive, with the aim of turning the souls of the Star Gods into powder to prolong the survival of humans.
As a result, humans defeated the three Earth Gods, killed a young Star God, and obtained her soul.
Unfortunately, because the pulverization was not thorough enough, it did not produce enough soul fragments to save humanity, so the beasts were released, humans were exterminated, and the land returned to its original desert, with the survivors fleeing to the sky.
In the floating island groups formed by the Earth God fragments and Star God remains, the Beastmen replaced the former humans, occupying absolute dominance, and maintained a fragile ecological balance with other races such as the Winged and Oni races.
Moreover, the floating continent groups often face invasions from the beasts, and the entire world is struggling to slowly slide towards doom and destruction.
“Hiss…”
The crew that had just arrived in this world looked at the information and fell into a long silence.
The world view was not only complex, but also involved all kinds of troublesome things.
“`~Uh, so the humans in this world are not only not purebred humans, but they’re already finished? The whole world looks like it’s in bad shape.”
Gudako was the first to raise her hand.
“Are we going to save the world again? Well, I’m used to it, anyway, it doesn’t seem difficult to transform a planet…”
Currently, three Astral Express crews were gathered in this world. The Seventeen Beasts were certainly terrifying to the natives, but in the eyes of the Starsea Empire, they probably only had one use: specimen for research.
The extinction of humans was also a bit subtle. The humans here were essentially a fusion of beasts and Star God fragments, which was different from other worlds.
“I want specimens of the beasts, and it would be even better if there were other races. I want to study the differences between the Star Gods of this world and the Star Gods of the *Honkai: Star Rail* universe.”
The Herta puppet immediately made several requests. Elysia looked at her cat ears in confusion, thinking it was just one of Lu Chen’s strange hobbies.
“If possible, I would also like to try using the Star God fragments and the beasts here to create humans, and to mix and study the Star God fragments with Honkai beasts and Danger Beasts.”
“You may.”
*Whoosh—*
Lu Chen retrieved Chi’s scan report of this world and listed a detailed list on the holographic interface.
“Then, the conquest plan is the same as the *Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?* world.”
“Find the people I need, and the rest is up to you…”
He originally wanted to say that each crew would act separately, and he would wait for their good news on the Astral Express, and they could call him if there were any problems they couldn’t handle.
That’s how it was in the previous few worlds.
*Thump—*
“No!”
Elysia tugged at his sleeve.
“Commander, I finally waited for you to come together, isn’t it just to conquer this world with you?”
“What’s the point of you staying up there drinking coffee? Come with us, okay? There are a lot of cute girls down there~”
“Huh?”
Compared to Jibril and Schwi, who executed orders 100% without ever questioning the reason, Elysia’s subjective initiative was maxed out.
She would often act cute with Lu Chen and make some strange requests.
“Are you trying to take the opportunity to go on a date with the Commander in this world?!”
Gudako was shocked.
“Mm-hmm~”
Elysia didn’t answer, humming a few cheerful tunes.
“Come and take a look, just treat it as a vacation while saving a world, and get to know some girls? The scenery of this world is different from Earth.”
“…”
Lu Chen thought for a moment, looked at the girls of the Fifth Crew with expectant faces, and felt that it wouldn’t hurt to personally play a casual game from time to time.
“Okay, then I’ll come with you.”
