"Is this the world of Jarilo-VI? It feels much colder after coming down than it did looking from the train…" March 7th walked on the snowy ice field, and a cold wind blew, making her subconsciously rub her arms.
Becoming a Pathstrider, the power from Trailblaze allowed her to survive in these extreme environments, but that didn't mean she could easily adapt to such low temperatures.
"Hmm, even we can feel the harshness of the environment. The ordinary people living on this planet must have it even harder." After truly feeling the terrible environment of Jarilo-VI, Welt's excitement about the robots also cooled down a lot, and he began to worry about the survival of the residents here.
The low temperature covering the entire planet… On Earth, he knew of an existence that could do something similar, but that Herrscher of Ice was ultimately killed by Eleanor from Schicksal with a single shot before she could do anything.
Later, the Herrscher of Ice obtained the power of the Herrscher of Rock, but she was still easily eliminated by Kallen and Eleanor…
Although this planet was almost frozen, there were still signs of life.
If the Herrscher of Ice from Earth had come, all living things would probably be dead. Welt felt that he wasn't necessarily weaker than that Schicksal Valkyrie, and now he had become so much stronger after embarking on the Path…
His former self ≈ Eleanor > Herrscher of Ice > perpetrator of the cold wave, and his current self > his former self, so solving the disaster on this planet shouldn't be difficult.
"Why did Uncle Yang suddenly show a confident expression…" Seeing Welt, who was walking in the middle of the road and suddenly seemed relieved for some reason, Caelus couldn't help but comment.
"This is a common occurrence, just be a little more vigilant later." Dan Heng glanced at Welt walking in front, and calmly shook his head. "I don't know why, but whenever Uncle Yang is confident about something, things always develop in unexpected ways… Although it's been within manageable limits so far, it's better to be careful."
Wow, this setting wasn't seen in the original work… Could it be that this Sit-Up Herrscher's halo of invincibility in the Honkai world hasn't expired, and has been extended to Star Rail?
Even Twilight couldn't help but look at Welt a few more times.
But it's just as well. The protector is prone to setbacks, so she has more opportunities to show herself.
Twilight just kicked the snow on the ground, following everyone slowly.
She wanted to continue clinging to Caelus, but her current size made it a bit inappropriate to continue doing so. When she just came out of the hibernation pod, she was small enough for Caelus to hold in one hand, and it wasn't a hindrance.
The half-month spent at the Herta Space Station had allowed her body to grow considerably. Although there was still a long way to go before her dream of becoming a long-legged older sister, she was already approaching March 7th's height.
Although Caelus had no objections, if he continued to hold someone her size, it might affect his actions… Twilight didn't want to be seen as a giant baby. Although she was only a month old and could theoretically act spoiled, she didn't want any possibility of being disliked by the players.
For the sake of being a clingy female lead, she wasn't just messing around, kora!
Snowflakes mixed with the cold wind fell on Twilight's hair, making her subconsciously shake off the accumulated snow like a kitten shaking off water, also splashing Caelus and Dan Heng beside her.
My hair has also grown… This body was growing faster than expected. At this rate, could she really hold on until her final plan unfolded?
Touching her hair, which had grown past her shoulders, Twilight began to consider the necessity of speedrunning this newbie village planet.
"Sigh, this snow is really heavy… No, no, Dan Heng, you should still take the lead!"
A gust of strong wind roared past, and March 7th, who had snow plastered all over her face, finally decided to give up the responsibility of taking the lead and decisively handed it over to the two behind her:
"Caelus, the position of leader is the core of the trailblazing journey. As a newcomer, you can't not experience it! Quick, quick, Dan Heng, join in—and please block me and little Twilight tightly…"
"March, weren't you awakened from the Six-Phased Ice? Why are you still afraid of the cold?" Looking at March 7th, who scurried to the middle of the team and clung to Twilight, Caelus couldn't help but comment. "Are you disliking your relatives?"
"Who told you that people who come out of Six-Phased Ice are definitely not afraid of the cold? That's a stereotype, it's racial discrimination!" March 7th angrily criticized Caelus's discriminatory remarks, while also hugging Twilight even tighter.
Feeling the warmth emanating from her body, she couldn't help but squint and rub her face. "Ah, little Twilight is so warm…"
March 7th put on a "pigs don't fear boiling water" attitude. Seeing this, Dan Heng and Caelus could only helplessly take the lead. Welt, who was in charge of the overall situation behind them, could only silently tighten his clothes—youth is good.
After careful consideration, Twilight also made a decision—with her current strength, if she still followed the original plot of being chased around by these Jarilo natives, it would indeed be a bit unreasonable… In that case, she wouldn't pretend anymore!
"March 7th, are you cold?"
Seeing March 7th almost sticking to her, Twilight turned her head and asked silently.
"Of course! I wish this planet could be as warm and spring-like as recorded…" March 7th subconsciously replied, but seeing Twilight pull out her little notebook again, she quickly tried to stop her. "Wait, wait, little Twilight, I didn't mean it that way—"
However, how could her stopping speed compare to Twilight's determination? In the blink of an eye, Twilight had already completed her doodle and closed the notebook again.
"March 7th is good; Jarilo froze March 7th, Jarilo is bad."
Twilight silently put away her little notebook, then looked at the gray sky, puffing up her cheeks angrily: "Cold wind, go away."
Seeing Twilight angry at the weather, everyone showed helpless smiles. Little Twilight was still too young. How could individual strength easily change the weather? Even Welt couldn't help but smile wryly.
Twilight was indeed very strong, but strength didn't mean being able to do everything. She didn't have the authority to influence the climate.
Just like Kevin on Earth was undeniably strong, but he couldn't construct everything like the Herrscher of Reason, nor could he travel through space like the Herrscher of the Void. This was called specialization—
Boom!!!
The moment this thought flashed through Welt's mind, a powerful force that he couldn't describe suddenly erupted from Twilight's body, sweeping everything around—but strangely, it didn't cause any damage.
"Little, little Twilight…?" March 7th, who was closest to the outbreak of this power, was so scared that she couldn't close her mouth, not only because of Twilight's sudden action, but also because of her current change. "You, you are…"
"March 7th said she was cold, so I blocked the cold air." Twilight blinked. Her originally lake-green eyes now glowed like molten gold.
Although she hadn't done anything yet, within a radius of hundreds of meters centered on Twilight, all the snow and cold were swept away, as if blocked by some mysterious barrier.
Mode switch, buddy!
Twilight moved her fingers. Although the original Erudition Path hadn't been of much use, after switching to the Preservation Path, the protective nature of this power was clear at a glance.
In this current situation, as long as she went all out, clearing the cold wave and speedrunning Jarilo in one second shouldn't be a problem… But after all, the protagonist was Caelus, so she shouldn't hinder his adventure.
Twilight was very clear about her positioning. In addition to being the female lead, she would only be a well-behaved level-skipping cheat. She wouldn't excessively interfere with Caelus's experience of the story for the time being, but when encountering some overly idiotic, unreasonable idiot bosses or situations like [This door requires collecting three marks to open], which were purely a waste of time…
Every second of life was precious and couldn't be wasted. If reason didn't work, she would use force.
She felt that at least in Jarilo, she should be able to help players save a lot of time—what the future development would be like, only heaven knew.
Anyway, there was nothing on this remote little planet that could threaten her…
