"Dear Ms. Bronya, on behalf of the Interastral Peace Corporation, I extend my most sincere greetings. As of today, the debt owed by Jarilo-VI to the Interastral Peace Corporation is cleared in full. As one of the few planets to have fully repaid its debts, the Interastral Peace Corporation has raised your credit rating within the universe to the highest level. Should you require it, all of the Interastral Peace Corporation's comrcial channels will be open to you.
—Interastral Peace Corporation, Topaz."
After receiving the ssage from Topaz, Bronya sank into her chair as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She had been under imnse pressure during this ti, but that was all in the past. Belobog had finally ushered in an era of true peace, stability, and developnt. Although they still owed an astronomical sum, it was no longer a heavy stone crushing the hearts of the people as it had been before.
"miHoYo Interstellar Inc., is it? Every citizen of Belobog will never forget your kindness."
Bronya's gray eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of Qlipoth Fort as she murmured to herself.
At this mont, Qlipoth Fort was quieter than it had been in a very long ti…

"I truly never expected our business to expand so suddenly and so broadly…"
On the second floor of the miHoYo Building, Hiko sat in an executive chair, her face filled with reflective amazent.
The once-empty second floor had been completely transford by Wende into the External Investnt Departnt, and Hiko herself had been appointed as its head.
There was a simple reason for this. On one hand, external investnt required considering whether the other party could "handle" the investnt. On the other, it depended on the "connections" of the investor. And who on the entire Express had more connections than Hiko?
Because miHoYo Interstellar Inc. had suddenly appeared on the Interastral Peace Corporation's radar, the IPC had chosen a path of continued, mutually beneficial cooperation. They had even specifically dispatched field personnel to liaise with miHoYo Interstellar Inc. on various projects. And the liaison, of course… was none other than Miss Topaz, who had the most dealings with the Astral Express.
"Miss Hiko, it is a pleasure to be working with you. Although I believe I said the sa thing back on Punklorde, this collaboration marks a truly long-term partnership between the Interastral Peace Corporation and miHoYo Interstellar Inc. Therefore, if you have any questions regarding our joint business in the future, or any ventures you wish to cooperate on with the IPC, please feel free to contact directly."
Topaz smiled and extended her hand to Hiko.
Hiko returned the gesture with an elegant smile of her own, and their hands clasped together, accompanied by the sound of a cara shutter.

The Astral Express's official photographer, March 7th, had captured this historic mont! Subsequently, this photo was eagerly reported by all major dia outlets under the Interastral Peace Corporation's banner, instantly landing on the front pages of major news sites and drawing widespread attention from across the entire universe.
Countless people were abuzz with discussion, wondering why the Interastral Peace Corporation would partner with such a small, unknown company, and why they would go to such lengths to publicize it.
It was only when the public discovered that this company was not only affiliated with the Astral Express of the Path of Trailblaze, but was also the publisher of the universe-sweeping hit ga, Honkai Impact 3rd, that the suspicions finally ceased.
After all, the reputation of the Astral Express was already significant across the universe, and the ga they published, Honkai Impact 3rd, was even more famous than the Express itself! It was no wonder the Corporation would promote it with such fanfare.
What was even more unexpected was that the Corporation personally drumd up business for "miHoYo Interstellar Inc." Their "miHoYo Angel Plan" was a godsend for countless planets in desperate need of developnt! Although the application requirents were extrely stringent and the aid was provided as a loan, what did the "minuscule" interest rate even matter?
It was far better than having the Corporation foreclose on your entire planet, right?
In an instant, the na of miHoYo Interstellar Inc. echoed throughout the universe. Almost simultaneously, the Xianzhou Alliance announced its own partnership with miHoYo Interstellar Inc., synchronizing their credit systems.
This ant that any planet, organization, or even individual that offended miHoYo Interstellar Inc. would be blacklisted by three major powers at once: the Xianzhou Alliance, the Interastral Peace Corporation, and miHoYo Interstellar Inc. They would also be directly "cut off from the net."
Don't ask why, because Punklorde had also suddenly announced its cooperation with miHoYo Interstellar Inc.
When Hiko took office as the "Head of miHoYo's External Investnt Departnt," Veyl from Punklorde had specifically contacted her. She stated her intention to apply for a loan from the "miHoYo Angel Plan" to rebuild the currently dilapidated Punklorde.
Hiko naturally agreed, and a very grateful Veyl expressed that Punklorde now stood on the sa front as the Astral Express and miHoYo Interstellar Inc.
Wende no longer had to worry about what to plant on miHoYo Planet. With miHoYo Interstellar Inc.'s sudden ergence in the public eye, and his current lack of intention to move the planet from the Jarilo-VI system, miHoYo Planet was now much livelier than before.
Xianzhou rchant fleets, IPC courier departnts, Punklorde cybersecurity task forces, and even technical exchange personnel from the Herta Space Station—whom Asta had generously lent to Hiko after hearing the new company was a bit short-staffed—were all present.
And so, everyone also learned that miHoYo Interstellar Inc. had connections with the Herta Space Station as well.
As for Belobog, Bronya sent her thanks and apologies to the crew via a holographic projection, explaining that she couldn't co to miHoYo Planet to thank them in person.
After Belobog's crisis was resolved, Svarog, who had been quiet all this ti, had unexpectedly revealed so things to them. As a result, the people of Belobog were now frantically excavating things from their past. The recent period was no less hectic than the last, but since it was all for the future of Belobog, everyone was willing and full of fighting spirit.
Right now, Belobog, from the Overworld to the Underworld, was bustling with energy.

miHoYo Planet, in the temporary encampnt of the Punklorde Cybersecurity Task Force.
Silver Wolf, disguised as a cybersecurity specialist, sat on a black crate, dangling her legs in boredom. She was still playing Honkai Impact 3rd, her "One-Punch Haxxor Bunny" skills were simply divine, and in a matter of minutes, she had added another three points to her Abyss ranking.
She then returned to the main screen, changed her Captain ID, and renad herself: "Just 3 points short, not gonna grind?"
"So, we ca all the way here just to sell ourselves out? Is that really what Elio told you?"
Silver Wolf put down her phone. Chewing on a piece of gum, she looked at Kafka beside her with an expression of disbelief.
"No, he didn't say that exactly. But this course of action did have his approval."
Kafka shook her head.
Even she hadn't expected this absurd plan to align with Elio's script. The Stellaron Hunters allying with the Astral Express… wasn't that a bit ridiculous?
"Sigh, I don't get you guys."
Silver Wolf lay down flat on the crate, completely giving in to her slacker attitude.
