Acheron: Raise Your Sword, Lin Shuang

After hearing Acheron's rebuttal, Lin Shuang didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She stared at Acheron's left hand. In Acheron's eyes, she was just cooperating in a ritual to gain power.

To Acheron, it was just an ordinary encounter during her interstellar journey.

To put it bluntly, Lin Shuang didn't think that her behavior today would make Acheron care about her so much.

Just from the plot she remembered and the two PVs that she watched, Acheron should have been a more indifferent person.

Lin Shuang was a little confused about the deviation from her own psychological expectations. What kind of person is the real Acheron?

"Don't worry, I will act carefully. I am not just curious, but the Stellaron may really be helpful to me."

"You want to use the power of the Stellaron?"

Acheron frowned. She seemed to be getting to know the white-haired lady in front of her all over again, not knowing whether she was ignorant or arrogant.

"Do you really understand the dangers of Stellarons? All beings in the universe who try to use the power of the Stellaron are heading towards the path of self-destruction."

"Even members of the Genius Society will only choose to suppress the Stellaron rather than control it. If you really want to use the power of the Stellaron, I will stop you."

Acheron's tone unconsciously became heavier. The aura brought by her experience and strength as an Emanator, even if only a little bit was leaked, made Lin Shuang tense up.

Acheron noticed Lin Shuang's reaction and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the extremely aggressive aura had subsided.

Lin Shuang also recovered while holding her chest.

Acheron looked at Lin Shuang's appearance, somewhat puzzled by her own abnormality, and at the same time blamed herself for her previous behavior.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Lin Shuang waved her hand. She was shocked by the power of an Emanator, having only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

The meaning of these two words is far more profound than she imagined.

However, rather than her strength, Lin Shuang became more and more confused as to why she could make someone like Acheron show these emotions.

This shouldn't be the case.

Or is it that Acheron's personality is just like this?

The gaze towards Acheron gradually became subtle. Lin Shuang hesitated for a while but couldn't help but ask:

"Rather than that...Acheron, why would you want to stop me from touching the Stellaron?"

I deliberately put the emphasis on the 'Me.'.

"…"

Acheron pondered; she was traveling across space, and she would lend a helping hand to those who were trekking on the river of Nihility.

But Lin Shuang is not walking in Nihility. And her desire for Stellarons is not just an ideal goal.

But Acheron could see that Lin Shuang was not a person who was destined to be together, and her eyes were by no means firm. She was like a lost lamb that had strayed into the deep sea.

The wrong people appeared in the wrong place, giving rise to the wrong curiosity.

The intersection of so many inconsistencies will cause Lin Shuang to return to Nihility.

"No reason."

"Ah?"

Lin Shuang was puzzled, but Acheron just replied calmly:

"Across space, not everything needs a reason."

Just looking at Lin Shuang's beautiful sky blue pupils, every word Acheron said fell into Lin Shuang's heart.

This was not a declaration of justice. Instead, behind this sentence, Lin Shuang vaguely felt a void as cold as death.

This feeling shocked Lin Shuang but also gave rise to a sense of powerlessness.

When a person is extremely powerful and her actions seem to have no reason or purpose, how can we make her give up her actions?

Lin Shuang felt a slight headache.

"Acheron, I don't want to destroy myself. I also know the danger of the Stellaron. I just want to make an attempt, a small attempt. If you feel something is wrong, you can stop me at any time."

Lin Shuang didn't expect Acheron to be so serious about her own affairs.

Or rather, Lin Shuang had never thought that Acheron would go to such lengths for her.

However, facing Lin Shuang's explanation, Acheron just shook her head and placed the scabbard horizontally in front of Lin Shuang:

"That's not the reason. Not only will you be besieged by the Rift Creatures and the Antimatter Legion, but more importantly, you can't resist the temptation of the Stellaron."

Things like Stellarons can give rise to the power to bewitch others, and there are many cases of this happening.

In Acheron's eyes, Lin Shuang, who was like a pure lamb, would not be able to resist if she touched a Stellaron now.

It's not that Lin Shuang hasn't thought about this, but she feels that she will only be in contact with it for a short while. If the storage card cannot be used or the Stellaron cannot be isolated, she will retreat.

It shouldn't be enough time to be bewitched.

But after hearing what Acheron said, Lin Shuang wondered if she was underestimating the power of the Stellaron.

"Is there any way? I mean, a way to resist the power of the Stellaron."

Faced with Lin Shuang's questioning, Acheron did not answer immediately but instead raised her own question out of curiosity:

"Why do you have to touch the Stellaron? You have just gained power, so it is more important to master the power as soon as possible."

Lin Shuang, who had no intention of hiding it, gave up the idea of ​​it being a toy version and explained to Acheron that her current power was just in limited supply right now.

If she could use the power of a sealing card to store the star core, perhaps she could solve her problem of lack of an energy source.

"...After all, I am not a Pathstrider, and I cannot draw strength from any Aeons, so I can only seek power from external forces."

"…Okay, I think I understand."

Acheron understood Lin Shuang's reasons, but just as she said.

Contact with a Stellaron is an extremely dangerous action, not to mention that Lin Shuang was even bold enough to want to carry a Stellaron around in the universe.

She didn't know whether to say that she was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger or that she was fearless because of her ignorance.

Thinking so.

Acheron turned the scabbard and pointed it at Lin Shuang, then said:

"I understand why you want the Stellaron, but the Stellaron is too dangerous. Moreover, you even plan to carry it with you. Even if the card you mentioned can really seal it, how can you guarantee that it will never be damaged and lead to your own destruction?"

"So, even if I can help you get the Stellaron, I still won't do it."

As she said this, Acheron's scabbard turned and knocked on the sword in Lin Shuang's hand.

"Raise your sword. I think you will still take risks after we part in the future. It would be better for me to sharpen your will now. At least... your will should be strong enough to last until I arrive."

Clang——

As she spoke, Acheron's sword was only slightly unsheathed.

However, as the sword rang, Acheron's aura changed.

It was as if the calm sea was suddenly met with heavy rain and thunder.

The darkness under the abyss began to spread towards the sea surface, and the dangerous aura made Lin Shuang's body instinctively become alert.

At this moment, Lin Shuang even felt that she had seen the other side, the veritable Acheron, a river of the underworld.

"Thanks."
