"Hmm… counting the ti, it should be about right."
Having just finished a long, hard day of work, Kafka, now back in the dorm with Silver Wolf, stretched languidly and spoke in a mysterious, soft voice.
Her purple-red eyes gazed through the upper part of the window, quietly watching the bright moonlight outside.
"Huh? You an our temp job is about to end? Are we getting permanent positions? In that case, can you give my trial period salary first? I've been playing a bit too much Honkai lately, and all my pocket money is gone… Or how about you give the allowance you've been saving for ?"
Silver Wolf lay lazily in her gaming chair, her small, bare feet propped casually on the computer desk. In her hands, she held her phone, which was displaying a Honkai Impact 3rd tutorial video.
"Hehe, Little Wolf, it's better if your allowance stays with for now. What if you get carried away with your top-ups? If it's with you, I'm afraid not a single cent would be left."
Kafka's long legs carried her over to stand behind Silver Wolf. She gently wrapped her slender arms around the smaller girl and whispered to her.
"Tsk, I'm not a kid anymore. Do you really have to manage like this? If I run out of money, I can just hack the accounts of a few corrupt Corporation employees, right? They won't dare report it to their superiors. They're the best ATMs!"
Silver Wolf pushed Kafka's hands aside, her tone dismissive.
"Oh, Little Wolf, I'm only doing this for your own good, aren't I?"
"Alright, alright, I can't stand it when you act like this… So what's going to happen? Why are you being so cryptic?"
Taking her feet off the desk, Silver Wolf looked at Kafka with curiosity.
"What's happening? No, nothing has happened yet. This is just the dawn before the darkness. So peaceful, it's suffocating…"
"Stop being a riddler! You don't have to be so secretive with , do you?"
Silver Wolf rolled her eyes at the mysterious-looking Kafka. Seriously, she even acts this way with her own people. She genuinely felt bad for Stelle, being played and led around in circles by this bad woman, all while thinking of her as so kind of white moonlight… If it weren't for Wende, Stelle probably would have been led around by the nose by her, right?
"Alright, alright, I'll stop joking. The Legion… seems to be getting restless. He has been provoked by sothing, and has begun to mobilize all Antimatter Legion forces across the universe, as if preparing for another war that will engulf everything."
Seeing Silver Wolf's reaction, Kafka stopped beating around the bush and told her the complete future that Elio was able to foresee.
This was the most accurate future Elio had seen since his script had been altered midway through.
In that bleak vision, the armies of Destruction, led by the Lord Ravagers, would begin an indiscriminate purge across the universe. The "Cancer of All Worlds"—Stellarons—would spread everywhere, and life would be reset.
And in His consciousness, destruction and salvation were one and the sa. Only by annihilating civilization and life could this universe, already on the brink of destruction, be freed from the finality of Heat Death.
"Huh? Why are you only telling sothing this huge now? Whatever, it's not like we're going to get involved in this, right?"
Silver Wolf was so startled she almost flung her phone away. Then, looking at Kafka's excessively kind smile, she couldn't help but shrink back.
"What's wrong, Little Wolf? Wouldn't this make a nice, new dungeon run for your life?" Kafka teased her.
"Co on, a dungeon is sothing challenging but ultimately clearable… A dungeon like this, I doubt many people could clear it… Wait, why are you still smiling? Don't tell soone actually can…"
In response to Silver Wolf's shock, Kafka first nodded, then shook her head.
There was indeed sothing that could "clear" it, but whether that "sothing" was a person, she couldn't say.
"In any case, get so good rest tonight. The days ahead probably won't be this peaceful anymore."
Kafka gently stroked Silver Wolf's smooth hair and said with a smile.
"Sigh, fine. I'll sleep after I finish grinding this ga."
The night on miHoYo Planet was quiet and peaceful. The moon in the sky was one Wende had specially created earlier; he felt that a night without a moon was just missing sothing.
At this mont, the lights in the miHoYo Building were still blazing. Wende and the others were still at work.
In the conference room, Wende watched Phantylia, who had taken on the harmless appearance of the forr Tingyun, with a thoughtful expression.
According to Phantylia, if the Legion was gathering on a large scale but remained unusually passive, there was only one possibility: Destruction Himself was summoning them.
And while His objective was unknown, it wasn't hard to guess.
It was undoubtedly about destroying sothing…
To be honest, after receiving reports of Antimatter Legion gatherings from all over, Wende had first breathed a sigh of relief. This was good news. The Legion's target did not appear to be miHoYo Planet, which made no sense.
The bad news was, His target seed to be the entire universe. Although this was only a conjecture from Phantylia, he feared it would beco an undeniable fact…
"There have been multiple sightings of the Antimatter Legion throughout the Xianzhou Alliance, the Interastral Peace Corporation has also encountered them during trade, and a few hours ago, the Herta Space Station issued a statent about an encounter. Yet, in all these sightings and close passes, there hasn't been a single attack, nor has any planet suddenly vanished from the star rail or lost its network connection…"
"It seems He is indeed planning sothing major."
Dan Heng's expression was grim as he continuously marked the positions of the Antimatter Legion on the star chart before him.
"By tracking the paths of these Legion forces, we can roughly deduce their final destination. They are not traveling on the star rails, so it should take them a long ti to converge. But our own ti is still of the essence," Welt said, shaking his head. Compared to the crisis in the Star Rail world, the matters in the Honkai world could indeed be put on hold for now.
"If our predictions co true, the entire universe will be in danger," Tingyun shook her head, her face grave.
"What is the Xianzhou's response?" Hiko turned to Dan Heng.
"According to the Master Diviner's calculations, the probability of a universe-level war is very high. All Xianzhou ships will declare a state of high alert tomorrow morning," Dan Heng replied.
"The sa goes for the Corporation, but they don't seem to have made the matter public yet. I don't know what they're waiting for," Tingyun said, shaking her head in confusion.
"The Corporation is waiting for an opportunity. A way to maximize the impact of this event and draw the greatest amount of attention."
Wende stood up and looked out the window, muttering to himself.
