"Following this path should lead us back to the surface."
Seele exhaled a white breath.
Yet her face couldn't hide her excitement.
The Silvermane Guards behind her were also climbing with increasing vigor.
"I can't wait to share this news with the people of Belobog!"
"Lady Bronya's current strength is absolutely... beyond imagination..."
"Our Belobog, no! Our Jarilo-VI can finally stand tall!"
Hearing the chatter, Bronya couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Don't get too carried away. While this power is indeed incredible, it's far from reaching the level where we can act recklessly in the universe."
"In my opinion, it might be comparable to some of the stronger Pathstriders."
Upon hearing this, the Silvermane Guards weren't disappointed; instead, they grew even more excited.
"That's still amazing!"
"Lady Bronya is definitely the strongest Supreme Guardian in history now!"
"With Lady Bronya here, we'll surely be victorious against any future Fragmentum creature attacks!"
"We will definitely reclaim this world from the Fragmentum!"
Seele moved closer to Bronya.
She whispered, "Today's events seem to have really stirred them up."
"Let them enjoy their happiness."
"The phone signal is back; we can contact the front lines. They must be going crazy with worry."
Just as Seele was about to open her phone,
Suddenly,
Bronya gently pressed her hand down.
She signaled for everyone to look upward!
On the distant glacier,
A person was walking unhurriedly!
Seele's expression immediately changed slightly.
"Why is there someone here? This is bad, this place is very dangerous!"
"Hey, you over there—"
Before she could finish, Bronya covered her mouth.
Speaking in a cautious tone, she said:
"Look carefully. That person is dressed very lightly, and even the wind and snow seem to deliberately avoid them."
"They are definitely not an ordinary person..."
At that moment,
The blue butterfly appeared again.
Fluttering gracefully,
It flew toward the person on the glacier.
Though the distance was great, it seemed to traverse space instantly, returning to that person's side in a flash.
Seeing this scene,
Both Seele and Bronya felt a "buzz" in their minds!
They instantly realized that person's identity!
They couldn't help but look at each other,
Seeing the shock in each other's eyes!
Seele's voice trembled slightly, "Bronya... is this real... Yu Ling, actually appearing on our planet?"
Bronya, however, showed a look of sudden understanding.
All the previously inexplicable phenomena now seemed to have an explanation.
If it was him, everything made sense!
Bronya took a deep breath.
"Both in the game and in reality, he has helped our Belobog so much..."
The two couldn't help but bow slightly in that direction.
This was the only way they could pay their utmost respect to that developer!
Soon after.
The Silvermane Guards from behind caught up.
Seeing Bronya and Seele acting this way, they all felt somewhat puzzled.
Looking toward the distant mountains.
The figure there had already vanished.
"What are the Supreme Guardian and Miss Seele doing..."
"Shh... don't ask too much!"
"Probably thanking Yu Ling."
"Yu Ling made me realize the world I'm in and granted me a second life... from now on, he is my faith!"
The Silvermane Guards also imitated them, bowing in that direction.
A white light appeared on the horizon.
Seeming to foretell that the snowstorm was about to cease.
Not long after.
The group arrived at the foot of the cliff.
From a distance, they could see machinery fixed along the cliff edge, rescue measures set up, and many ropes hanging down.
At the edge of the cliff, a row of people stood there, seemingly checking their equipment, preparing to descend.
Because fog and snowflakes drifted through the valley, visibility was poor when looking down from above.
So those people hadn't yet noticed that Bronya and the others had already reached the foot of the mountain.
"Seele..."
"This power, perhaps it's better to keep it hidden."
"After all, it's too incredible. I worry it might cause a huge shock to the people of Belobog, or even other players across the universe."
Hearing this.
Seele immediately chuckled: "Is the shock the world has received so far really small?"
"Ever since Honkai: Star Rail appeared, there's been a major news exposure every now and then. We players are almost numb from the shocks!"
"I think there's no need to hide it."
"On the contrary, we should properly showcase ourselves."
"Don't forget who we just saw!"
"That's the person who brought enormous change to the entire universe."
"So..."
"Announce to the world Bronya's return!"
Bronya smiled softly: "Thank you, Seele."
"Then, let everyone witness it."
"I will use this power to protect Belobog, to preserve Jarilo-VI!"
...
"First wave of rescue personnel about to descend, countdown 5 seconds."
"5..."
"4..."
"3..."
"2..."
Just as Sampo and Gepard were prepared, their gazes fixed on the icy fog below.
They suddenly sensed a surge of blue light churning within!
"Trouble, something's happening!"
The Silvermane Guards immediately rushed forward, setting up their defensive array.
Sampo's gaze darkened slightly.
As if anticipating something.
He couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Could this really be happening?"
A tremendous roar erupted.
As if some colossal beast was awakening!
Little Gui, who was livestreaming, turned pale with fright.
"Oh my god!"
"No way?"
"Did we awaken something incredible?"
...
"Holy crap!? What the hell was that noise!"
"Headphone users died on the spot."
"It's The Propagation!"
"The insect swarm is coming, Little Gui, run!"
"Damn, the scene is this intense!?"
...
The livestream camera focused on the cliff edge.
Everyone present braced themselves mentally.
Even if a giant claw suddenly emerged from the icy mist the next moment, it would be acceptable!
So,
when everyone saw a motorcycle blazing with blue flames charging up from below...
they were all left dumbfounded!
Each one standing frozen in the snow, all turned into statues!
Even the most absurd thing appearing would be fine!
But a motorcycle soaring straight into the clouds—what the hell is this?!
Your style is all wrong!
The motorcycle swept past everyone's heads.
It landed on the flat ground behind.
Then, with another drift,
it stopped right in front of everyone!
Bronya got off the bike.
She shook her head slightly.
Sorting out her messy bangs in the process.
"Huff..."
"Everyone, Bronya is back."
Dead silence!
Utter dead silence!
Even the sound of snowflakes falling on the snow seemed audible!
Little Gui's livestream, however, recorded this entire scene.
Broadcasting it live to players and viewers across the universe.
...
"??????"
"What the hell just zoomed past?"
"Holy crap? Ghost fire!"
"What the hell did I just see! Bronya riding a motorcycle flying back?"
"Huh?"
"Isn't this the scene from Angel's Rebuild? How did it become real?"
"Damn it! I must still be in Ena's dream!"
"Did she take a quick trip to Honkai Impact 3rd and get Duck's driver's license?"
