Chapter 369: Stelle's absolute social death exposed! Elio's Path of Finality is formally revealed!
This part of the plot…
Why does she look like a total psycho?!
On the guest seats, Stelle dug her toes into the ground in sheer embarrassment.
Especially when she looked at the bullet comments, she cringed so hard she felt like she could excavate a three-bedroom apartment with her toes!
Faced with her sudden, bizarre behavior, March 7th raised her voice and urged, "Hey, I'm talking to you…"
"Get down here quickly, everyone is watching!"
Firefly also seemed a bit at a loss for words.
She muttered to herself, "It feels like this isn't a good time…"
"Excuse me, Stelle. Let's chat later when we have the chance."
…
"High EQ: Now is not the time. Low EQ: I'd better not let people know I know her."
"There's nothing we can do, our Stellaron Hunter is just like this…"
"March's tone! She is genuinely embarrassed for Stelle…"
"Barely human, slightly understanding of human nature."
"Stelle will probably walk the Path of Elation sooner or later. When that time comes, Sparkle will be her personal mentor."
"It's over! The protagonist's persona has completely collapsed. Before, she was just a slightly silly beauty, but this time she's turned into a complete blockhead who just escaped from a psychiatric ward [ doge ]."
"March 7th: Usually normal, occasionally petty. Stelle: Always petty, occasionally normal."
…
When Stelle saw this scene, she felt like her world had collapsed!
Her image was completely ruined!
She had turned into a total clown!
I am actually a cool, aloof, mature girl!
At most, I only play around and talk when it's about things I'm interested in!
Normally, I'm actually a very quiet, taciturn person.
What was going on with the plot this time?!
Feathered Spirit, is this how you treat your protagonist?
Even if she didn't get to say those cool, spotlight-stealing lines like before, that would be fine. But how did she end up looking completely unhinged this time?
Sob, sob, sob…
The venue was filled with bursts of laughter, making Stelle feel even more like she was sitting on a bed of needles.
It was supposed to be a highlight scene, but now it had turned into a public execution!
Fortunately, her part quickly passed.
Firefly returned to the Bonajade Exchange and informed Jade of her findings.
Jade indicated that although these people's wishes had been fulfilled, they would pay an even greater price!
Speaking of this, Jade smiled elegantly.
"A very interesting phenomenon, isn't it? I satisfy the desires of some, granting them favors. And these favors quickly return to me, accompanied by even greater desires."
"And when people glimpse others' desires being satisfied, they will generate the same desires themselves, endlessly. In the end, I can fish out what I want from this whirlpool."
Jade's gaze carried a hint of depth, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upward.
She looked just like a demon playing with human hearts!
The bullet comments were instantly filled with awe!
…
"Everything comes with a price."
"Is this Jade? Mysterious and unfathomable!"
"Jade's level feels so high."
"When someone gets Jade in a ten-pull, others will want to pull too. In the end, Jade reaps a huge pile of Star Rail Passes."
"WHAT A POWERFUL WOMAN… I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!"
"Pawn Broker Jade, Gambler Aventurine, Debt Collector Topaz… they really live up to their names!"
"Human desire is like a rolling stone on a high mountain; once it starts, it can never stop."
"Now I have no choice but to pull for Jade!"
"Damn, I love her so much, Sister Jade! Please whip me hard with your whip!"
…
Just then, Jade suddenly changed the subject!
"And what I am best at, happens to be waiting. So now, do you understand what you have to pay, Miss Samuel? Or should I call you…"
"The remnant of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry—AR- 26710?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the players were stunned!
If she had said Sam or Firefly, it would have been within reason. But she actually said the armor's serial number directly!
This was somewhat unbelievable!
At this point, the nature of the entire conversation underwent a subtle change.
Yet, Firefly did not show any surprise or unexpected expression. It seemed she had long anticipated this!
This only piqued Jade's interest further.
She continued, "You are much calmer than I imagined. Entropy Loss Syndrome… quite a calamity, isn't it?"
"To prevent the Republic's most powerful weapon from falling into the hands of others, the Glamoth people set such a safety lock in the genetic compilation of their warriors."
"And the price… because these Iron Cavalry were never viewed as independent individuals, there was naturally no price to speak of."
"But you are different. Today, you are a Stellaron Hunter, you are Firefly, a living being. Of course you want to live, but the Firmament Front of old has already perished. The person who knows this secret and can cure it no longer exists."
…
"Holy crap?"
"Huh?"
"Sob, sob, sob, my precious Firefly…"
"What on earth does Jade do? How does she know everything!"
"Could they be from the same era? They must have lived for at least several Amber Eras, right?!"
"Damn Entropy Loss Syndrome! Lady Jade, can you save my Firefly?"
"Looking at this, Jade probably can't do it relying solely on herself…"
"Maybe Doctor Loucha can step in to treat her?"
"I feel like Ruan Mei can save Firefly. Quick, go invite Madam Ruan Mei!"
"After finding Ruan Mei, the person might be saved, but she won't be Firefly anymore [ sadness ]."
"Don't even think about it. I think Feathered Spirit is changing this imperfect world, and he will definitely save Firefly when the time comes!"
"Exactly, exactly, Master Feathered Spirit is the god of games!"
…
"Are you trying to say the IPC has a way to do it?"
"It's not without hope. That is all I can say," Jade replied.
"I see. No wonder you said I couldn't produce collateral of equal value, because everything of mine has no meaning…"
Firefly thought for a moment and said, "What you want is for me to personally put shackles on my companions in order to survive."
"Unfortunately, that is not the case either."
Jade showed a subtle expression.
"Companions—a very nice way to put it. This makes me even more curious about the Stellaron Hunters. Each of you has a unique identity, and the connection between you is quite interesting—it is so tight and firm, yet you maintain your individual independence."
"Just like the Stonehearts follow Diamond, you should also have a leader. I am curious about what kind of person he is, and whether every Stellaron Hunter is just like you…"
At this point, Jade paused slightly.
"Walking the Path of Terminus, yet striving with all your might in the opposite direction of fate?"
The Path of Terminus!?
Boom!
The venue instantly erupted!
Even though Honkai: Star Rail had now gathered players from all over the universe, and Pathstriders, or even Emanators, who were rarely seen on ordinary days, had been brought to the table, the Path of Terminus was still rarely heard of!
It was mysterious, and there was extremely little information about it.
It moved against time, making it difficult for ordinary people to understand its essence.
Before, players had various speculations about Elio's identity. But now, through Jade's mouth, this fact was completely confirmed!
…
"????"
"!!!!"
"Huh?"
"Holy crap! Heavyweight news!"
"Case closed, the Stellaron Hunters indeed follow the Path of Terminus!"
"Jade has some serious connections, but I don't know which planet she comes from. It's a bit terrifying to think about."
"Looking forward to Jade's subsequent plot!"
"I feel like there will definitely be more interactions between the Stellaron Hunters and the Stonehearts later!"
"The IPC wants Elio, and he must be completely unharmed."
"The possibility of Elio being an Emanator of Terminus has greatly increased!"
"But… Trailblaze and Terminus are opposites…"
"Is there a possibility that the Aeon of Trailblaze is the Aeon of Terminus?"
"Huh?"
"A History Fictionologist has appeared?"
