Inside a university dormitory.
Chen Yue was sitting in front of the computer, yawning slightly sleepily, looking at the motionless Star Rail train on the computer, expectant and anxious.
Today was the opening day of Mihoyo's latest work, "Honkai: Star Rail". For this day, he had arranged for someone to cover his classes in advance, and even got up early, just to grab a good UID as soon as possible.
It was said that the server would open at ten in the morning, but Mihoyo was never on time. Just as Chen Yue was waiting anxiously, a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the computer:
[Ding! Congratulations, you have been bound to the Myriad Realms Live Broadcast System, and the game you are experiencing will be broadcast to the countless worlds.]
"What kind of garbage advertisement..."
Before he could see the words on the pop-up window, Chen Yue directly closed it. At the same time, After waiting for a long time, the train on his computer finally started moving.
"Finally, the server is open!"
"Honkai: Star Rail, start!"
...
For a time, a huge light curtain appeared in the sky above all the countless worlds.
~Demon Slayer World~
The moonlight was mottled, shining through the wooden window and reflecting the man's blood-red pupils and slightly pale skin, cast on the gray-green floor of the laboratory. The surroundings were quiet, only the subtle collision sounds of various experimental equipment. Besides that, the night was quiet, and there were no other sounds.
Suddenly, the hair on his arm stood on end, and the muscles on his back contracted like an umbrella – this premonition, as if facing an enemy, was like the instinct of a beast. If he hadn't lived for thousands of years, he wouldn't have it.
Muzan slowly raised his head, and the next second, his scarlet vertical pupils suddenly widened.
He didn't know when, but a huge crack appeared in the sky, as if a pair of big hands were slowly parting the clouds, revealing a huge light curtain.
Strangely, even through the walls of the laboratory, the light curtain was still clearly visible.
It felt as if the light curtain didn't appear in the sky but could be projected into their minds.
"This is... Blood Demon Art?"
Could it be an illusion that can directly affect him?
But the moment this thought appeared, Muzan subconsciously denied it.
It wasn't that he hadn't come into contact with Blood Demon Arts that could cause hallucinations; Tamayo's blood could do it. The Blood Demon Art that acted on him could be broken down in just a few seconds, but as time passed, the sky above his head didn't disappear.
"Could it be those Demon Slayer Corps..."
Muzan's pale face had a fleeting look of astonishment and incomprehension.
With a crisp "crack", the floor tiles under Muzan's feet suddenly shattered, and the muscles in his legs mutated, the hideous muscles instantly bursting his trouser legs.
No matter what, get out of here first!
Since that monster-like man died, he rarely showed this rough and ugly posture again. Only when faced with threats would he choose to escape in this form.
This was an instinct. If there was any abnormal situation, he would immediately leave the spot and summon the Upper Moons!
What's more, today's anomaly was something he had never encountered in his thousands of years of life.
"Could it be a miracle?"
"Impossible! Impossible!"
A drop of cold sweat slid down Muzan's forehead, and a fear that had been absent for hundreds of years surged from his heart, gradually chilling his limbs.
But just as he was stunned, the sky seemed to have undergone some changes.
On the pitch-black sky, several clear white words gradually appeared.
...
~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
Inside a small tavern in Weiserst, Stark, who was tasting the local specialty spicy meat burger with Frieren, was gaping, staring blankly at the sky outside the window. The super spicy taste of the meat burger in his mouth couldn't suppress the shock in his heart at this moment.
"Look outside the window, the sky is cracking!"
"What's going on? Is it demon magic?"
"Look! Words are floating on it!"
The light curtain that suddenly appeared in the sky immediately made the entire town boil. People put down their work and walked out of their houses, marveling at the spectacle from the sky.
"Mihoyo?"
Fern looked up at the sky, frowning. She tugged at the sleeve of the white-haired elf beside her, trying to accurately pronounce the distorted white characters on the light curtain.
The unfamiliar characters were similar to some kind of magic circuit, appearing on the black light curtain for only a few seconds before disappearing.
"Frieren-sama, could this be... a kind of magic?"
Fern asked her master with an incredulous expression. If this was magic, and the range and influence of the spell were so great, how strong would the caster be?
As a great mage who had lived for thousands of years, Frieren's expression was as stable as ever. She put down the meat burger in her hand and calmly wiped her mouth.
"Fern, we should find out who cast the magic."
Frieren said calmly,
"There are not many people on the entire continent who can cast this kind of magic. It shouldn't be too difficult to find."
Based on her understanding of magic, this kind of magic that could change the sky on a large scale probably came from the ancient mythical era. Many of the spells of that era cannot be fully analyzed even today.
"Frieren-sama, have you seen this kind of magic before?"
"Not at all."
...
~Akame Ga Kill World~
In a forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City.
"Even if I close my eyes, I can still see the picture."
Akame was lying on a tree, looking at the slowly emerging words in the sky, and couldn't help but ask,
"Does the Imperial Army have this kind of Teigu?"
Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and the light curtain that followed unfolded, directly projecting the content into everyone's minds.
Akame had never seen such an anomaly before. Not to mention her, even Night Raid's leader, Najenda, had never seen this scene.
"At least among all the recorded Teigu, there is no Teigu that can affect people's minds on such a large scale."
Mine, who was sitting under the tree, was wiping "Pumpkin" in her arms while looking up at the various scenes in the light curtain.
"But the content in this picture is interesting. Is that a train on the border of the Empire?"
Tatsumi smiled lightly:
"What? Mine, can your train fly in the sky?"
...
~Genshin Impact World~
Teyvat Continent, Natlan.
Today's Holy Flame Arena is happy, so happy that even the dust is dancing in peace. People and dragons dance together, all kinds of shouts are mixed together, the chiefs and tribesmen have come here, both to remember the dead in the Abyss War, and to celebrate Natlan's long-term peace.
After countless people sacrificed themselves, Lumine finally joined forces with the Pyro Archon and others to repel the Abyss's offensive.
To celebrate this glorious moment, the Pyro Archon Murata held a grand banquet in the Holy Flame Arena, inviting all Natlan people to celebrate together.
Everyone toasted and laughed, wanting to use the wine to soothe the wounds of the war.
Suddenly, the gate of the banquet was knocked open, and a person dressed as a wooden puppet rushed in with a pale face.
"Pyro... Pyro Archon! The... the sky is cracking!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet was silent.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly solidified, and it took a long time before a trembling voice came out intermittently.
"So fast, could it be that the Abyss is making a comeback?"
"Is the Abyss waiting for the power of the Holy Flame to become difficult to maintain before attacking? How cunning!"
"Could it be that even the Pyro Archon can't..."
Murata's face sank, but she quickly regained her usual composure. She raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and said in a solemn voice:
"Silence. please raise your heads."
When everyone heard this, they raised their heads, but found that they could see the sky outside clearly even through the roof of the arena.
— To be precise, it was the light curtain in the sky.
"As you can see, this is not the power of the Abyss. At least I cannot sense any Abyss aura from this anomaly."
Although the power of the Abyss was strong, it was still within Murata's understanding, but this light curtain was really strange and unreasonable. She had just tried it, and she could "see" the content on it even with her eyes closed.
In Natlan's long struggle with the Abyss for thousands of years, the Abyss had never shown such a special power...
"Pyro Archon, if it's not the Abyss, what is this anomaly?"
Murata shook her head. Although she could get a lot of knowledge and memories about Natlan after inheriting the title of Pyro Archon, there was no record of this kind of anomaly in it.
"Unfortunately, I don't know either. This is also the direction I will send people to investigate next."
Just as everyone was chatting, the light curtain suddenly flashed, and there seemed to be new changes.
"Pyro Archon, look! There is movement on the light curtain!"
Under the gaze of countless eyes, a long, cylindrical object like a train suddenly appeared in the center of the light curtain, rushing straight into the sky with a magnificent momentum.
"Look! Words are coming out again!"
...
In addition, Baki, Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, and countless heroes of dimensional civilizations couldn't help but raise their heads, looking at the six big characters in the sky:
[ Honkai: Star Rail ]~Demon Slayer World~
"So, what exactly does this 'Honkai' mean?"
"I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound like a good word."
"Could it be a disaster even more terrifying than demons?"
"Heh... now that you mention it, I'm a bit curious."
Sanemi Shinazugawa crossed his arms, looking much more relaxed than the other Pillars, who were sitting upright with tense expressions. They had been urgently summoned by Oyakata-sama a few minutes ago after the sky had cracked open. At first, they thought it was a Blood Demon Art of an Upper Moon, but now they felt it was more complicated than that.
As night fell, the evening breeze grew cooler, and the mountain winds rushed through the withered leaves, further tightening the Pillars' nerves. Soon, the communication crow brought news from the foot of the mountain that not only the members of the Demon Slayer Corps but also the common people could see the anomaly in the sky.
Shinobu Kocho felt slightly relieved: whether the sky anomaly brought good or bad results, at least it wasn't an attack targeting the Demon Slayer Corps.
'Everyone, perhaps... cough cough, the key isn't in the word 'Honkai'."
From the shadows of the room, a frail, emaciated man slowly walked out with the support of his wife and daughters and sat down in front of the Pillars.
"We greet you, Master."
The Pillars knelt on one knee in unison to pay their respects. After the ceremony, Gyomei Himejima, the strongest among the Pillars, clasped his hands together, and two lines of tears slid down from his eyes:
"Does Master think this is Muzan's conspiracy?"
The man coughed twice and slowly shook his head:
"No, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Muzan either..."
He looked up at the light screen. While they were talking, the scenery in the light screen had changed. After the initial large characters faded away, it showed a lonely yet vast starry sky, with countless stars adorning it, making people yearn for it.
But this confirmed the guess in his heart.
"I'm afraid that behind this light screen, there is another world connected."
—
[ The scene changes to a huge space station standing in the vast starry sky.
Accompanied by a melodious violin sound, the camera moves from Outer space to the interior of the space station, and the graceful figure of a woman in a suit slowly appears, with the camera directly facing Kafka's chest. ]
[ .... ]
~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
"Oh, this is—"
Due to the sudden and impactful scene, Stark immediately sat up.
No, he stood up.
Frieren glanced back at Stark, a meaningful smile on her face... but what made him feel even more uneasy was the sharp aura of the girl beside him.
A certain genius magical girl, her cheeks puffed up, subconsciously puffed out her chest and gave him a look of utter disdain.
Stark's face stiffened, and he immediately put on a slightly awkward smile.
"Uh, Fern..."
"Hmph."
Fern subconsciously tightened her clothes, turned her head away, and moved half an inch closer to Frieren without making a sound.
"... Pervert."
—
[ At this moment, the woman's figure began to gradually appear, allowing tens of billions of people from different dimensional civilizations to clearly see the woman's exquisite face.
This mature purple-haired woman has a perfectly ripe figure, with black high-waisted shorts and a white women's shirt between the black coat. The strong contrast between black and white, coupled with the restraint of her neckline, almost openly emphasizes her proud and majestic figure.
The legs under the shorts are straight and slender, plump and round, and the slightly tight leg ring and dark purple stockings perfectly match. Every step taken by the high-heeled boots, the crisp sound of the heels hitting the ground, seems to hit people's hearts. ]
[ .... ]
At this moment, men, women, old and young, in completely different worlds, have a common heartbeat, not to mention that this woman has a unique wife-like temperament, making these people dizzy.
[ Then the scene changes, and many Void Rangers begin to appear out of thin air, landing inside the space station and launching attacks on different staff members.
The urgent alarm sound and the melodious violin sound echo each other, showing a great sense of incongruity in this chaotic place. ]
[ .... ]
~ Genshin Impact World~
"Is this an invasion of the Abyss?"
A warrior from a tribe in Natlan asked, not understanding. They had never seen this strange space station before, but the methods and ways these monsters attacked were exactly the same as the Abyss.
They also looked similarly grotesque, but they were much fiercer than the Abyss monsters.
"It seems that this is not within Teyvat. could it be..."
Murata wanted to mention "False Sky" but suddenly realized that Citlali and other Natlan people were also present, so she quickly stopped.
Although very little information is known about the False Sky, it does not prevent her from guessing - could this iron-lump-like machine station be in a world outside of Teyvat?
Although she was unfamiliar with the iron-lump-like machine station, she was quite familiar with the chaos inside. The battle between humans and monsters has been staged in the land of Natlan for thousands of years, and no one knows better than her, the God of Fire, how to kill monsters.
Murata narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering to herself.
Could the struggle of these humans from another world bring some inspiration to Natlan?
["Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, and Kafka's elegant movements stopped abruptly. At the same time, there was a strong vibration, and the lights inside the entire space station turned red.
Kafka sighed softly and said, "It seems I've come at the wrong time."
"No, I think you came at the right time." A light screen suddenly lit up in front of Kafka, with a minimalist wolf head printed on it, and a sweet girl's voice was coming from inside. ]
[ .... ]
~Runeterra World~
"Using technology to achieve the effect of magic... It's not unimaginable, is it?"
Viktor thought that Hex Crystals might have other applications besides weapons, and the originally dim look on his face suddenly recovered a bit.
After finally achieving control over the Hex Crystal, he and Jayce aimed to improve the lives of the people in Piltover and Zaun. Now, suddenly, this method of communication across distances appeared on the light screen, and he naturally cared about it very much.
Jayce was standing at the blackboard wall. This magical light screen from the sky continued to spark new technological inspiration for them.
In order to achieve those new ideas, Jayce had been calculating on the blackboard for almost an hour, and now he was slightly tired and found a chair to sit down, and said with a faint smile:
"That makes sense, Viktor, but your idea... hum hum, it's really crazy, maybe we'll blow the laboratory to the sky, too."
Viktor picked up the chalk, corrected a calculation data on Jayce's blackboard, and said confidently with a smile:
"As long as it doesn't explode, isn't that enough? Isn't our mission as scientists to be pioneers for human progress?"
[ The picture in the light screen changed again, but this time it was the conversation between Kafka and Silver Wolf.
"Can you let me have some fun this time? The previous few actions were boring." The girl's voice in the light screen had a hint of expectation.
"Sorry, today's mission is very boring, just putting the target in. But if you want to have some fun, I won't stop you, after all..."
The door of the space station suddenly opened, and Kafka was walking in leisurely. Three Voidtroopers turned their heads to look at her, curious about this strange visitor. Kafka suddenly took out two submachine guns, and with a burst of violent gunfire and purple lightning flashing, the three Voidtroopers turned into ashes on the spot. ]
[ .... ]
~Genshin Impact World~
This set of sword and gun combo skills, the ultimate combination of cold weapons and hot weapons, once again shocked a certain homebody god in Teyvat.
"Yae Miko, can the weapons of Fontaine achieve this effect?"
Raiden Ei was not shocked by the excellent katana skills of the woman named Kafka, but surprised by the power of the two submachine guns.
"Although Fontaine has guns, they are flintlock guns, and their power is probably far less than the two guns in this woman's hands."
Yae Miko clicked her tongue and said in amazement,
"What a wonderful creation. I'm also very curious."
With this thing, when fighting against the Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah 500 years ago and dealing with the Abyss crisis, would they still have to risk their lives? Wouldn't they just shoot all the Rifthounds of the Abyss to death from 800 meters away?
The key is that this weapon doesn't seem to have any usage skills or thresholds, and even ordinary people can use it.
Inazuma has not experienced a major crisis in the past few hundred years, but with long-term peace, Raiden Ei, as the god of a country, certainly would not put all her energy on milk dumplings and light novels.
She also understood the principle of preparing for a rainy day. In order to prevent crises in advance, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the thoughts in her heart became more firm.
She turned her head to look at the pink-haired fox eating fried tofu comfortably beside her, cleared her throat, and said,
"Yae Miko, I was wondering... can we give the Fontaine flintlock guns that we can buy to the Tenryou Commission to study, and let them imitate the two guns in the hands of that woman named Kafka?"
Yae Miko:
"???"
Transforming flintlock guns into that type of gun? What the hell? And you want the blacksmiths to imitate them?
Hearing this, a drop of chili oil choked in her throat. Yae Miko's face was flushed; she covered her mouth and coughed violently.
