Honkai: Star Rail: Evolving into an Aeon Starting as a Cat Cake

[Slice of Life] [Lighthearted] [Gradual Growth] [What Harm Could a Cat Cake Possibly Do?]

After waking up from a car accident, Lin Feng discovers that he has become one of Ruan Mei's creations-a harmless little Cat Cake.

He had hoped to rub against Herta's legs and laze around in peace, only to be warned that he would be sliced up for research.

And so, life aboard the Herta Space Station begins to take a strange turn-

Ruan Mei searches high and low for him, only to find him helping Station Master Asta's Peppy practice backflips.

When Himeko of the Astral Express Crew spots him, he is standing on tiptoe, measuring himself against Conductor Pom-Pom.

And at every crucial moment, a certain gray-haired girl (Sparkle) crouches nearby, recording everything with a gleeful smile:

"Yes, yes, that's it! Give those guys a few more surprises!"

Just when everyone thinks he is merely an adorable little troublemaker, disaster strikes-

A piercing alarm blares from the containment chamber holding the "failed creation," the Starcrusher Swarm King!

The chamber doors swing open. The crisis is over.

But when Herta pulls up the surveillance footage, she and Ruan Mei are both stunned.

The last person seen entering the containment chamber is the Masked Fool (Sparkle), humming and skipping along.

And the Cat Cake, who should have been outside, has somehow appeared at the scene.

The Starcrusher Swarm King lies lifeless before him.

"...He won!? Wait, what's a Masked Fool doing here!?"

Meanwhile, in a corner no one is watching, Lin Feng gazes at his system panel, lost in thought:

Devouring Starcrusher Swarm King's core... Analyzing an Aeon's Path... Evolution sequence initiated!

Who says a Cat Cake can't become the next Aeon?
