Chapter 668 - 673: New Game+ Players, Speedrunning Amphoreus!

Chapter 668: Chapter 673: New Game+ Players, Speedrunning Amphoreus!

"I once witnessed an unidentified flying object from beyond the sky, shaped like a silver chariot..."

"It withstood a blow from Nikador."

"Crashed into the Abyss, shattering the temple..."

"From that flying object emerged two aliens, one green and one gray!"

If Phainon were to write his memoirs in the future, he would likely record something like this.

Yet,

if it were only that.

It might merely evoke a sense of wonder—

as if a grand epic or some fateful destiny had revealed a corner of its design.

But now, the problem was!

These two aliens possessed something akin to a message slab...

The images and voices within

were actually about us, the Chrysos Heirs!

And what’s more,

it featured Teacher Tribbie and Miss Aglaea,

the two most important seniors among the Chrysos Heirs!

This was deeply unsettling upon reflection!

From wonder, it turned eerie!

Seeing Phainon’s utterly bewildered expression.

Dan Heng pondered briefly:

Based on the story so far,

Amphoreans were no strangers to things like divine oracles and prophecies.

Well then,

he might as well explain it this way.

He spoke up: "You could... consider it a kind of prophecy."

Hearing this,

Phainon’s mouth fell open in surprise.

It took him a few seconds to process and comprehend.

Then, a look of realization dawned on his face.

"Truly... a miraculous way of prophecy."

"So, you two really are from beyond the sky?"

Dan Heng nodded: "We indeed come from beyond the sky. We are Trailblazers who landed in this world."

After saying this,

his gaze shifted slightly.

He added:

"I know your civilization faces an apocalypse. As Trailblazers, we will do what we can to help you overcome this crisis."

"Of course, my word alone may not earn your trust."

"But before we fully understand each other, let us maintain a cooperative relationship as much as possible."

After all, Dan Heng had already watched a good portion of the story.

At this moment, one could say they skipped right past the formalities of greeting and feeling each other out.

Thinking to speed things up a bit.

But this move,

Completely short-circuited Phainon’s brain.

Left him utterly speechless!

He licked his lips.

Subconsciously wanting to say something too!

Couldn’t lose face in front of these visitors from beyond the sky!

However!

Phainon felt the words on the tip of his tongue, as if anything he said would be superfluous!

The other side wasn’t playing by the usual script!

One could only say...

Truly worthy of being visitors from beyond the sky!

They felt unfathomable!

There was a sense of immense, profound depth!

"Please wait a moment..."

"Given the current situation, I’m already a bit unsure how to proceed..."

"Please follow me this way, I’ll let Teacher Tribbie take a look."

Dan Heng and Stelle exchanged a glance.

Time, place, and people all matched up.

Soon.

The three arrived before another temple.

From a distance, they could see Tribbie waiting there.

Dan Heng suddenly thought of something.

He whispered to Stelle, "According to this timeline, the Strife Titan Nikador should be about to launch a surprise attack on Okhema. We should warn them."

Stelle nodded: "Right, I remember Nikador came too, though unfortunately it was just an avatar."

As she spoke,

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

Right now, she felt a bit like a player on a second playthrough.

Up ahead.

Seeing the two, Tribbie showed a look of surprise.

"Wow, Xiao Bai!"

"You’ve already reached an understanding with these two new friends so quickly?"

Phainon nodded with a bitter smile.

A thought went unspoken in his heart—

These two seem to know us very well!

It feels like my every move is already anticipated by them!

This feeling was very strange!

I’ll have to leave it to you, Teacher Tribbie!

"Hmm... According to Okhema’s etiquette, we should first introduce ourselves—"

Tribbie pointed at themself and said,

"We are Tribbie of Janusopolis, and this is..."

"I am Phainon of Aedes Elysiae."

Stelle secretly smiled.

I’ve known you two for ages!

Of course, she didn’t show it.

After the routine introductions were done.

The sound of an argument came from inside the temple.

Everyone then entered to investigate.

Sure enough, it was that priest of the Passage Titan again, arguing and making a fuss about not wanting to go to Okhema.

Seeing this.

Stelle simply waved a hand grandly.

She stood opposite the old man.

Pointed right at his nose and said, "You old codger, yeah you, old codger!"

"Are you blind? This here is the High Priest of the Passage Titan, and you dare stand here talking about faith?"

Dan Heng was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected... Stelle to be so impulsive.

Tribbie hadn’t even revealed they were the High Priest of the Passage Titan yet!

This was going to cause a real mess!

Sure enough!

Upon hearing Stelle’s words.

Both Phainon and Tribbie’s faces showed expressions of shock!

Dan Heng sighed.

Oh well.

They were going to have to introduce Honkai: Star Rail to the locals of Amphoreus sooner or later anyway.

Once they played the game,

They’d understand what kind of people we Nameless are.

Then there wouldn’t be so much need for probing between both sides.

On the paths of Trailblazing and saving the world, we could find a more harmonious way.

And over there,

Upon hearing this,

The old man first felt as if a fishbone were stuck in his throat!

Then he looked at Tribbie with disbelief.

His voice trembling, he said, "...What... It really is the High Priest!?"

"How did you become this childlike form? No, wait—I, a mere tribal priest, dare to speak of faith before you? How presumptuous of me! Please forgive my offense..."

The effect was obvious.

Stelle stood with her hands on her hips, radiating an imposing aura.

She continued, "Enough about forgiveness or not. Gather your people and come with us to Okhema!"

"Next, the Strife Titan Nikador is about to launch a surprise attack on Okhema. Let’s not waste any time."

As soon as these words were spoken!

Everyone was stunned once again!

If the first statement revealing Tribbie’s identity was somewhat understandable...

These two sentences felt utterly earth-shattering!

After a brief silence.

The crowd erupted as if a pot had boiled over!

"No way! How is that possible..."

"Is this... a divine revelation from the two outsiders?"

"She speaks with such authority—I believe her!"

"To think Nikador would even dare to attack the Holy City Okhema now..."

"Who exactly are this young lady and the young man beside her!?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Phainon coughed violently.

Clearly, he was completely overwhelmed by Stelle’s sudden outburst!

Not only did they know Teacher Tribbie’s former identity...

They could even speak of Okhema being attacked...

Are you two truly visitors from beyond the skies?

Why does it feel like you know this place better than a local like me?

Something’s off!

This is far too strange!

These aren’t just two visitors from beyond the skies—they’re practically a pair of living treasures!

Compared to Phainon, who was losing his composure.

Tribbie remained much calmer.

Widening his eyes, he said, "Honored guests... have you perhaps been influenced by certain rumors?"

"Okhema is an absolutely safe Holy City. How could it possibly be attacked so suddenly?"

One moment, his expression was full of certainty.

The next,

Tribbie’s face changed!

It seemed he had received information shared by the other two.

"The Holy City... has detected Nikador’s followers..."

"Nikador’s attack is coming!"
