Is Unlocking the Stellaris Tech Tree in Star Rail Really Okay? [212]

The sky seemed to have torn open, yet anyone familiar with the Xianzhou knew the truth: this space was merely an artificially created dimension layered over the existing one.

If even this place could be broken, then disaster for the Xianzhou itself wouldn’t be far behind.

Thus, the colossal swords and surging sword energy were nothing more than manifestations brought into existence by the [Zroni Nexus], using its energy reserves to realize the will...

Sparks flew amidst a flurry of blades and swords, their brilliance piercing even the faint light of dawn that stretched across the sky.

Chen Lin’s counterfeit longswords were of uneven quality, yet they were no ordinary weapons. Through relentless experimentation and adjustment, he managed to steadily improve the craftsmanship of his imitations.

"Your reverse grip is flawed," Jingliu remarked, deflecting an oncoming sword from the void. Observing the flow of air along the blade,...

The strength of power often carries the mark of causality.

Whether through training, fortune, or innate talent, none escape the chain of cause and effect.

But as Jingliu observed the changes in the surrounding air, she sensed a force disconnected from causality—a power foreign to the Xianzhou and entirely focused on subduing her. She couldn’t afford to be taken away.

In such situations, the outcome would depend solely on their respective skills.

One truth remained:...

"Since we’re here…"

One of the Xianzhou’s famed eight phrases, and one that Sushang had heard countless times from her mother during her childhood. It was often paired with others like "You’ll get used to it," "Age catches up with you," and "What’s done is done."

These phrases invariably appeared before or after trouble occurred, and with her own experiences in mind, Sushang couldn’t help but feel nervous.

It was earl...

The figure was no joke—a humanoid winter incarnate.

The Xianzhou didn’t have seasons as such; its daily climate shifts still fell within a range comfortable for its inhabitants and most living beings. But the Artisanship Commission was gripped by bitter winds. Wherever the blindfolded woman went, the area froze into an eerie stillness, life snuffed out, everything locked in ice.

Watching her through the surveillance feed of the Zroni Nexus, Chen Lin lightly tapped his forehead...

The mysterious figure seemed to sense the gaze from the void, turning her head with a hint of confusion. Despite the black cloth obscuring her eyes, the dangerous aura radiating from her was palpable—even through the screen, Chen Lin could feel it.

Who the hell is this?!

Chen Lin’s mind spun with questions. This woman was not part of the plan he had devised with Jing Yuan. Knowing Jing Yuan’s meticulous nature, any major changes would have been communicated in advan...

The operation to eliminate the remaining forces faced unexpected complications. This was the core of the Disciple Sanctus’s sanctum, filled with towering buildings that formed narrow and complex alleyways. These constrained battlefronts meant the Cloud Knights often found themselves bottlenecked, with most troops stuck behind, helplessly watching as only a few engaged the enemy.

The majority of the Disciple Sanctus’s elite forces were stationed here for a decisive battle. Despite th...

As the light faded, Mewtwo’s new form appeared on the training ground.

The transformed Mewtwo was significantly smaller, its legs floating off the ground while its slender body seemed almost delicate. The tail that once extended from its lower back now sprouted from the back of its head, dyed a vibrant purple and resembling long hair.

"It worked...!"

Blaine’s eyes glistened with excitement as he stared at the newly evolved Mewtwo Y.

This was an unprecedented breakt...

You can actually do that?

After listening to Luo Yuan’s advice, Koga realized how limited his thinking had been.

For years, he’d viewed League duties as separate from Team Rocket’s work—handling League matters during the day and Rocket matters at night, keeping the two entirely distinct.

This rigid separation had left him exhausted.

But Luo Yuan’s insights illuminated a new perspective: League work and Rocket work were both just work.

When Ash posed his question, an awkward silence fell over the group.

Although the Alola region had only recently joined the Pokémon League, its reputation as a tropical paradise and the promotional campaigns during its induction had made it nearly impossible not to know about Alola.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Ash tilted his head in confusion.

Finally, Brock stepped in to play the role of encyclopedia yet again, explaining the basics of the Alola region to Ash.

Gary couldn’t believe his eyes—or rather, even after seeing it with his own two eyes, he still found it hard to accept that this massive estate was Luo Yuan’s new home.

As someone who had always prided himself on being a wealthy second-generation kid, cruising around in a sports car, Gary had never even dreamed of owning an estate this grand.

Which explained the incredulous expression on his face when he called Luo Yuan.

"Is this estate really your new home?" Gary aske...

Goldenrod City

At Johto League’s temporary headquarters, Luo Yuan met Lance.

The League’s official headquarters had been completed, but Lance had yet to move in due to his overwhelming workload.

He had just finished reviewing reports on recent wild Pokémon attacks near Goldenrod City when Luo Yuan walked in.

Seeing him, Lance let out a sigh of relief.

“Done with your vacation? If so, great—you can help me with this pile of work....

Assassin flicked her sword, scattering droplets of crimson blood that stained the ground beneath her.

Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself, trying to control her breathing. Lancer’s unrelenting energy hadn’t infected her; instead, she focused inward, reflecting on the clarity of her strikes.

For the first time, she had landed a decisive blow against a Heroic Spirit—one of the greatest heroes of Celtic mythology, the Child of Light, Cú Chulainn.

The wide schoolya...

This Is My Holy Grail War [79]

Their gazes locked, and Assassin felt the cutting wind generated by Lancer’s rapid charge.

She had two options: retreat and use her superior agility to keep her distance, or counterattack and take advantage of the fact that Lancer was now too close to dodge her magic blast.

Assassin chose to attack. She had no reason to retreat.

Her magic blast flared to life, surging with power as it struck Lancer head-on. But an invisible, translucent barrier blocked the attack—a shimm...

When Assassin had been summoned by Tohsaka Rin in the Assassin class, she had wondered just what kind of twists fate had woven into this world.

Despite exchanging information with Rin, she remained confused. Some details in her memory aligned with this reality, while others contradicted it entirely.

Now, she only needed to gauge Kotomine Kirei’s reactions to determine whether this world was the one she had existed in or a parallel version—or something else entirely.

This Is My Holy Grail War [77]

Assassin felt as if her head were wrapped in frost—cold and stiff. She had no idea how long she had been unconscious. Struggling to sit up, she fought against the lingering fatigue and weakness that clung to her.

Caster was nowhere to be seen, and through the window, the soft glow of dawn filtered into the room. Morning had arrived; she had unknowingly slept until daybreak.

The sunlight was gentle, but Assassin’s mind remained foggy. Throwing off the covers, she was greeted by...

This Is My Holy Grail War [76]

In the modestly sized room, a gentle laugh echoed softly. Caster’s voice drifted into Assassin’s ears, warm and encouraging, like a teacher eager to see their student reap the lifelong benefits of knowledge.

Though the quiet of the workshop offered a sense of shelter and calm, Assassin couldn’t help but glance out at the pitch-black night beyond the window, her unease flickering in her emerald eyes.

Time was too short. The grim reality of the Holy Grail War pressed upon her ...

The great dragon with seven heads and seven crowns loomed above the Teyvat timeline, its form both majestic and terrifying.

In Liyue, the chaos caused by the release of the two gods had finally reached its intended climax, shaking the strings of time and plunging the future into uncertainty.

Zhongli felt neither joy nor fear. There was no celebration for a dream nearing fruition, nor dread of failure.

All he felt was her. All he thought about was her.

The golden pupil continued to expand, encompassing everything around it.

All of Teyvat hung within its gaze, a fragile, dreamlike bubble floating serenely in the center.

The view shifted upward, revealing the being to whom the eye belonged—a massive, terrifying dragon.

It had seven heads and one tail, nine claws, and double wings. Its seven crowns bore the colors of the elements: fire, frost, rock, verdant grass, emerald winds, thunderous lightning, and rippling water.

"Zhongli, oh Zhongli, how long have we known each other?"

"About two thousand years."

"Zhongli, oh Zhongli, how long have you liked me?"

"A little over a thousand years."

"Huh? Not two thousand years?"

"At first, I saw you as my master."

"Oh? What kind of disciple spies on their master while they bathe?"

"Ah… youthful foolishness. Please forgive me."
