What if your Honkai Star Rail was like this?

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Aren’t You Able to Transform into Imbibitor Lunae!

Clang clang clang—! (fighting sound effects)

”Dan Heng, aren’t you able to transform into Imbibitor Lunae? Transform for me to see!” Blade stared at the child version of Dan Heng and said viciously.

Dan Heng’s eyes sharpened: ”What Imbibitor Lunae? I already said, I’m not him!”

Clang—!

Blade seized the opportunity and sent Dan Heng flying with one sword strike. He crashed into and shattered one of the stone pillars of Dragonvista Rain Hall. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the originally even fight instantly gained a breakthrough!

”I’ll give you one last chance. Will you transform or not?!” Blade said viciously.

”What do you want me to transform into?!” Dan Heng angrily shouted.

”Transform back into your true form—!!”

Slap—!

Blade roared in fury and fiercely slapped the flat of his sword onto Dan Heng’s face, sending him tumbling over again.

Dan Heng: ”Uwah—!”

[Silver Wolf: Pfft—! Hahahahaha, this sense of déjà vu feels like some TV drama paid homage to this scene.]

[Stelle: @March 7th]

[March 7th: ?]

[Stelle: March, aren’t you able to turn red? Turn red for me to see!]

[March 7th: What are you talking about??]

[”Evernight” joined the livestream]

[Stelle: I... I was just joking.]

The battle between the two grew fiercer. At this moment, Stelle and March 7th arrived in time with the Little Stellaron.

March 7th saw that Dan Heng was already at a disadvantage and immediately shouted: ”Dan Heng, I’m here!”

Stelle: ”I’m here too!”

March 7th pushed Stelle back with one hand and said gently: ”Darling, you stay here and take care of the child. I’ll go help. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Clang clang clang—! (fighting sound effects)

At the same time, on the other side, at the entrance of Scalegorge Waterscape, two more groups arrived.

One group was Jing Yuan, Qingque, Bailu, and the others.

The other group was a man wearing silver armor, walking elegantly, and holding a black umbrella. Although the umbrella covered his face, from his black-and-white hair color, mechanically crafted prosthetic limbs, and cowboy-style outfit, his identity was obvious.

—Boothill!

”Beautiful Idrila above, may you protect us.”

Boothill murmured to himself, then lifted his foot and headed toward the battlefield.

[Boothill: What the f*ck? This damn cute one is me? This baby is way too cute, right?]

[Boothill: What the hell is Idrila? Your daddy is a Galaxy Ranger! And this walking posture is way too girly!]

[Stelle: I have something to say but I don’t know if I should... I think this is a combination of Boothill, Argenti, and Kafka.]

[Silver Wolf: Dying of laughter, what a puzzle person.]

[Kafka: Baby~ saying that will make me sad, you know.]

[Boothill: What? There’s also Stellaron Hunter stuff?!]

[Rappa: Silver Gun · Shura Highness need not worry. This one has observed with Secret Technique · True Sight Eye. Although this person appears similar to you, his inner self has already been possessed by an unknown evil ninja. Highness need not blame yourself.]

[Boothill: You mean him? @Argenti]

[Argenti: My dear friend, I am truly sorry for leaving you with such a stereotype... Oh right, everyone in front of the screen, do you acknowledge that the great Idrila’s beauty is unparalleled in the world?]

[Herta No.7: Keyword detected...]

[Herta No.8: Lady Herta’s beauty is unparalleled in the world!]

[Livestream prompt: Malicious spam and flame-baiting user has been banned]

[Rappa: !!! Sorry, Lord Argenti. This one did not mean it just now. You are warm-hearted, righteous, and treat others with courtesy. This is the greatest act of kindness in the galaxy. This one dares not offend.]

[Argenti: I am honored and delighted to hear Miss Rappa’s words of praise. However, compared to the renowned Galaxy Ranger, my own actions are truly nothing. This title of greatest benefactor is more suitable for Miss Rappa.]

[Rappa: Not at all! You are the dear friend of Silver Gun · Shura Highness, and naturally my senior. This one is merely a ninja still in training and cannot bear such a great name!]

[Argenti: Miss Rappa need not belittle herself...]

[One thousand words of the two mutually praising each other omitted below]

[Boothill: Hey! You two guys, aren’t you misunderstanding something? Is this the main issue right now?]

[Rappa: Ah... Truly sorry, Silver Gun · Shura Highness. This one was a bit too engrossed in the conversation with Lord Argenti just now. However, Highness please rest assured. No matter what evil being has taken your appearance, this one will not be deceived by it.]

[Argenti: My dear friend, please remember what I told you before: You must remain calm. A calm heart brings peace.]

Not long after this comment was posted, everyone saw the scene in the video where Boothill’s body sprouted several thrusters, sprayed cyan flames, and then carried Blade and flew away.

[Boothill: I... hahaha, this damn cute one, I...]

[Stelle: Pfft hahaha, isn’t this Firefly’s flame jet special effect?]

[Silver Wolf: ”Puzzle Person”]

[Boothill: Damn cute one, who the f*ck made this video?!]

[Argenti: Dear friend! Don’t be impulsive!]

[Rappa: Silver Gun · Shura Highness, think thrice!]

[Boothill: Don’t stop me. Watch me find this cute host and love-kill him with one shot!!]

[Jing Yuan: But getting back to the main topic, although there were many twists and turns along the way, in the end this universe still has to deal with Phantylia. I’m a bit curious — is General Qingque the one who takes action here?]

[Qingque: General! This one doesn’t dare accept those words! The position of General should belong to Divination Commissioner!]

”Sigh, my super wisdom has already made the wise choice.”

In the scene, Qingque looked at the underwater ruins of Scalegorge Waterscape, sighed softly, then turned to look at Jing Yuan beside her: ”In the name of General, I order you to go and take out Phantylia for me.”

Jing Yuan: ”Me?”

Qingque stretched out her hand and handed over control of the Divine Lord to Jing Yuan: ”Go on, Jing Yuan. In terms of combat, I’m still not as good as you.”

As she spoke, she casually patted Fu Xuan’s perky behind beside her.

[Jing Yuan: ...]

[Fu Xuan: Aaaaah! Qingque, y-you-you are simply audacious! Rebellion! Complete rebellion!]

[Qingque: Divination Commissioner, I’ve been wronged! What does another universe’s matter have to do with me? (crying face)]

[Fu Xuan: I don’t care! Even if it’s another universe, it’s still another possible calculation of the future. Where there is effect, there must be cause. You must have had such thoughts, which is why you dared to do it on another timeline!]

Fu Xuan’s words were not without reason. So-called parallel universes can also be understood as different branches of a timeline. Just like a sapling, during its growth, tiny differences lead to countless branches and thus different futures.

This is also one of the basic concepts of the ”Imaginary Tree Theory” once proposed by Zandar.

[Fu Xuan: You want to climb above me, right? Very good. Since you are so ambitious, this seat will fulfill your wish!]

[Fu Xuan: Starting tomorrow, you are the ”Model Worker” of the Divination Commission. All workload... will be doubled!]

[Qingque: Wuuu Divination Commissioner nooo!!]
