Across the infinite dimensions.
The Amber King had agreed. Although no one knew what they had discussed.
In short, after a round of encrypted communication, the Ultra Universe and the Star Rail Universe had established an initial cooperative relationship.
And as factions on the side of order, the Amber King's Corporation and the Land of Light, which had been entrusted with a great responsibility by Ultraman King, gradually began to establish diplomatic ties under the promotion of the two beings.
"Did the people from the Corporation happen to witness this moment? Speaking of which, why did the Corporation make such a big fuss in the first place?"
In the world of Gintama, Sakata Gintoki picked his nose and grumbled. The Amber King had called the Corporation over just to seal off everything from the Ultra Universe, including its darkness and its light.
But in the end, by the time the Corporation had gone through all that trouble to find the place, the Amber King had turned around and become allies with Ultraman King. This made the Corporation look like a bit of a clown.
It was a good thing the Corporation currently had so little information; otherwise, who knows what they would be thinking. Though, the Amber King probably didn't care what they thought anyway.
"Isn't this quite good? After all, if it were the people from the Corporation negotiating with Ultraman King, who knows how that old man would see them. It's already a blessing that he didn't get angry."
In the Star Rail universe, Topaz spoke on the barrage without any regard for her identity.
For her to have reached this position, she had inevitably witnessed the darkness within the Corporation. She knew what a portion of the Board of Directors was thinking. Their will of [Preservation] was inferior to even the most ordinary Ultraman in the Land of Light.
Gepard: "The Corporation really is a mixed bag. No wonder the Amber King never gave it a second glance."
Grand Guardian Bronya: "It's not just the Corporation. Didn't even the video itself not translate the conversation between the Amber King and Ultraman King for us?"
Seele (No Last Name): "Why care so much? As long as they didn't fight, it's fine. Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died."
Wants to Drink Mei's Sister Juice: "I feel like... I just saw a familiar name."
Super Alloy Bronya: "Seele? Are you Seele? But... what does 'no last name' mean?"
Seele Vollerei: "Big Sister Bronya... that sentence... wasn't said by me..."
Overseer Otto: "Alternate-universe counterparts? Interesting. I wonder if there are counterparts of myself or Kallen there..."

[On the light curtain, the scene shifted to the Stellaron Hunters.]
[These universe-renowned wanted criminals were about to begin their plan.]
[Of course, while it was called a plan, it was actually a decision they made on the spot.]
"Are we going to cross universes right under the nose of the Aeon of [Preservation]? Kafka... in some ways, you're much crazier than I am."
[A flicker of surprise passed through Blade's scarlet pupils. He hadn't expected Kafka to be this insane, daring to smuggle someone right in front of the renowned Amber King.]
"For that little ghost, you want us to accompany you to our deaths?" [A cold sneer tugged at the corner of Blade's lips. His gaze towards Kafka seemed to carry a hint of chill.]
"This is just my own wishful thinking, Blade... If you're unwilling, then forget it."
[Kafka's expression remained devoid of any extra emotion, as if she didn't care in the slightest.]
[But Blade simply let out a cold snort and replied, "Unwilling? How could I be? Whether I die on the way or get to continue fighting with that guy, it's a good thing for me. It's a deal where I can't lose, so why wouldn't I do it?"]
[As if recalling something from the past, a flash of murderous intent, tinged with a bit of pain, appeared in Blade's pupils.]
"There are five people, but three must pay the price. Dan Feng... you are one of them. So... even if you flee to another universe, don't even think about escaping your destiny."
[Stelle? To the Stellaron Hunters, she was indeed very important, especially to Kafka.]
[But it was clear that there was someone else on the Astral Express who was even more important than Stelle in Blade's heart.]
[And Kafka was obviously aware of this. She didn't ask any more questions, but a faint smile appeared on her lips. "And you two? Silver Wolf, Sam."]
"It's fine if you don't want to go. Blade and I are enough."
[The tall mech and the short hacker exchanged a look.]
[Then, Sam stood up, flames flowing over his silver armor. "Kafka, you know that now that I know Stelle's whereabouts, I will absolutely not leave her behind."]
[Clenching his fist, Sam's voice carried a hint of determination. Stelle was important to Kafka, and to her, even more so.]
[Finally, everyone's gaze fell upon Silver Wolf.]
"Sigh." [Silver Wolf let out a sigh first, then chewed on the bubblegum in her mouth. "You've all decided, so what are you looking at me for? Get ready to move."]
[And just like that, the four members of the Stellaron Hunters, for Stelle's sake, prepared to take advantage of this moment to smuggle themselves into another universe.]
"It might sound a bit demoralizing, but to the Amber King, the Stellaron Hunters are nothing. He won't even spare us a glance, so... our only opponent is the 'Corporation'!"
[Silver Wolf connected all the basic battleships via data link, preparing to make a big move. After all, only a chaotic situation would aid their actions.]
"Isn't this good news? As long as the Aeon doesn't make a move, we still have a chance." [Sam said, the armor on his body ready to enter a combat state at any moment.]
[Although the Emanators were also powerful, they were all currently gathered around the Amber King, receiving his instructions. This increased their chances of success by a few points.]
[And the people of the 'Corporation' could never have imagined that these few criminals would be so bold as to attempt a smuggling operation right in front of the Amber King.]
[If the Corporation knew what the Stellaron Hunters were thinking at this moment, they would probably be scared witless.]
[After all, even if some people were dissatisfied with the Amber King, the most they would dare to do is grumble behind his back. In front of the Amber King, they were all steadfast believers of [Preservation].]
[Even though this so-called steadfast faith was completely transparent to the Amber King himself.]
[Hearing Sam's words, Silver Wolf shook her head and looked at him with a helpless expression. "There are only four of us, and I have basically no combat power in this situation. You're not thinking of just fighting your way through, are you?"]
"This..." [Sam said nothing, his eyes shifting slightly.]
[Seeing this, Silver Wolf rolled her eyes and continued to work her hands. "In short, don't make any rash moves. Wait for me to create a suitable opportunity first."]
[Sam's method was simple. Fight, then... boom, boom, boom. That would basically solve most problems that required force.]
[But that was only in situations where the power gap was too great. When it came to certain aspects, the Corporation was still very difficult to deal with.]
---o---
The Stellaron Hunters were going to smuggle themselves across right in front of an Aeon, and even slap the "Corporation" in the face in front of the entire universe!
Across the infinite dimensions, all the viewers who saw this scene were stunned.
They knew that Stelle was perhaps important to the Stellaron Hunters, but they never imagined she was this important.
One had to know, the Stellaron Hunters were all wanted criminals right now. To make a move at this time, in this place, was no different from a robber trying to rob a police station.
"No, Stelle's not in any trouble. She's perfectly fine. Why are they taking such a huge risk!"
Aboard the Astral Express, March 7th truly couldn't understand what the Stellaron Hunters were thinking.
One must know, so far, aside from the Swarm King, all other instances of transmigration had been backed by the power of an Aeon. This move by the Stellaron Hunters was undoubtedly a suicide mission.
"Because they don't know. They don't know Stelle's current situation, so they are willing to risk everything to find a trace of her. Kafka... can actually do this for Stelle?"
Himeko took a deep breath, a little in disbelief. She felt that this had completely subverted her understanding of the Stellaron Hunters, subverted her understanding of Kafka.
If the Astral Express were in the same situation, perhaps they too would take the risk and travel to another universe to find Stelle.
In a certain sense, the choice made by the Stellaron Hunters was the same choice the Astral Express would have made.
And Dan Heng, on the side, looked at Blade on the screen with a helpless expression.
What enmity, what grudge, that he would pursue him relentlessly even to another universe? And he had said it so many times already: he wasn't Dan Feng, he was Dan Heng.
Sighing deeply, Dan Heng truly didn't know what to do. The memories of the past, unable to be severed, unable to be cut, were like thorns blocking his path, leaving him with no place to go.
"Dan Heng, there's no need to mind what that guy said. The you right now is a member of the Astral Express."
Seemingly noticing Dan Heng's expression, Welt patted him on the shoulder and said. He didn't know the specifics of Dan Heng's past, nor did he know about the grudge between him and Blade.
But Dan Heng was no longer Dan Feng; he was a member of the Express.

[Light Curtain Barrage]
Galaxy Baseballer: "Mom, and Auntie Silver Wolf, Uncle Blade, and Sam, who I don't know what to call... you guys, really, I'm so touched..."
March 7th: "No, you're calling her 'Mom' already? They're wanted criminals! And why do you say it so naturally! How many times have you secretly called her that?!"
Silver Wolf: "I don't want to ask about the rest, but why am I the auntie and Kafka's the mother? I was there when you were born too, you know."
Galaxy Baseballer: "I don't know either. It's just a subconscious thing. Maybe... it's the difference in bosom? After all, you don't look like the type who can feed a child."
Silver Wolf: "...Do you want to see what a shattered star looks like? I can let you experience it for free."
Yang's Crunches: "That line... sounds so familiar!"
---o---
[On the light curtain, within the Corporation's main fleet, the Emanators of Preservation had temporarily departed. They were heading towards the Amber King's vicinity to receive new instructions.]
[The establishment of diplomatic ties between the two universes involved many things. Many matters needed to be planned in advance, and the Amber King clearly didn't have the patience for that, so... he could only leave it to his Emanators.]
[And at this moment, some of the battleships suddenly began to move uncontrollably, starting to move without any pattern.]
[It was like countless cars at an intersection with no traffic lights or signals, all turning and weaving.]
"What... what's going on? Someone has hacked into the company's control system! Who did this!"
[The Corporation's employees quickly discovered these anomalies. Cold sweat instantly beaded on their backs. Of all times, who would be so bold? The Amber King and the Emanators of Preservation were still here!]
[Countless Corporation employees scrambled to remedy the situation, but it was a pity. Silver Wolf's skills were not something these ordinary employees could handle. They could only watch helplessly as more and more battleships lost control.]
"What happened? What's the situation outside?" [Just then, a voice rang out.]
[Although the other party's tone was cold, even carrying a hint of condescension, in the hearts of these employees, it was like the sound of heaven.]
"It's Ms. Herta!!"
[As if seeing their savior, countless people looked towards Herta's puppet with longing in their eyes.]
[Hacking was not Herta's area of expertise. This was no secret. But so what?]
[Herta was a genius, recognized by Nous, one of the top geniuses in the cosmos. Even if this wasn't her area of expertise, she could still block Silver Wolf's hacking.]
[On this point, not a single Corporation employee felt any doubt.]
"Oh? This kind of program is quite interesting."
[After signing quite a few unequal treaties and almost giving up her own body, Herta finally agreed to help.]
[With Herta's help, the system that had been continuously collapsing was restored once more. Everything gradually returned to normal.]
[And all of this was within Silver Wolf's expectations.]
"Has the genius finally made a move? I wonder if it's a member of the Genius Society. If it's someone who specializes in this field, I'd be done for."
[Silver Wolf's fingers flew across the keyboard, competing with Herta.]
"It's a pity. If it were any other time, I might have fought you to the end. But now..."
[Silver Wolf said nothing, but placed her finger on the enter key of the virtual keyboard, then pressed down.]
[Rumble, rumble. All the battleships that had been controlled by Silver Wolf, as if receiving a revelation, charged towards the outer perimeter of the cosmos.]
[And the target they were charging towards was, as it happened... the Amber King!]
"Are they insane?! What kind of madman is this? Don't they want to live?!"
[The Corporation employees who saw this were so scared they collapsed to the ground.]
[It was over. It was all over. For such a huge incident to occur, the Board of Directors would not let them off.]
[Their careers were over...]
[And at the same time, amidst the countless streams of light flying towards the Amber King's body, Silver Wolf spoke as if completing a mission: "Just like that, charge through in one fell swoop!"]
