Star Rail, Single Draw Acheron at the Start

"Heh, got a cute girl teammate."

A smile had just appeared on Caelus's face, but the arrival of a group of Voidrangers immediately wiped it away. He got up from the ground, holding his baseball bat, and slowly retreated. He wanted to pull Acheron along to escape, but the woman handed him the red umbrella in her hand.

Caelus subconsciously took the red umbrella, but in the next blink, he saw Acheron appear in front of the large group of Voidrangers. Her left hand was placed on her lower back, holding the scabbard in reverse, while her right hand slowly inserted the long sword into the scabbard.

All the Voidrangers before him trembled, then dissolved into particles, truly gone without a trace. The monsters that had just filled the corridor were cleared in the blink of an eye, not a single one left.

"Super strong ally!"

Caelus stared at the scene before him, dumbfounded. He felt like he had latched onto a truly powerful ally. Swordsmen were indeed drawn to each other; this swordsman was strong as if she had cheated. Caelus acknowledged her strength, believing she could be called a Celestial Venerable alongside him.

Chapter 4 Swordsmen Are Drawn to Each Other

"If we are destined to part ways, will you still consider this encounter meaningful?"

Acheron looked at Caelus with a calm gaze and asked. He had likely already seen that something was not right with her. Being shunned was something that had happened countless times, so Acheron felt that this stranger she had met this time would probably not answer seriously either.

"If it weren't for this encounter, where would there be a parting? Besides, I can come find you. You're my savior, and I plan to repay you with my entire life."

Caelus's answer didn't take long to think about. He just looked at Acheron with confusion. As long as she didn't mind, he was willing to take care of her as his closest person. Tit for tat, a life-saving kindness should naturally be repaid with everything he could do.

Acheron nodded thoughtfully. She hadn't saved Caelus in order to be repaid; it was just a casual act. However, she heard an unexpected answer. Looking at Caelus's sincere eyes, she was willing to believe his words.

"Ah, I finally found you. Are you alright?"

March 7th's voice came through. In the wide corridor, she and Dan Heng were rushing towards them. Her expression clearly showed she had been worried about Caelus for a long time.

"Of course, I'm fine. I'm lucky, right? I found a lost beautiful girl."

Seeing that March 7th was also safe, Caelus's mood relaxed. As for the silent man beside them, Dan Heng, he was subconsciously ignored. It wasn't that he looked down on the other person, but with a girl around, he couldn't go chat with a man; that would be a waste of resources.

"Who is this young lady?"

March 7th saw Acheron, who was acting with Caelus, and couldn't help but widen her eyes as she asked. Her attire was quite striking, as if she had traveled from another planet.

"Her name is Acheron. She was lost, so we're traveling together."

Caelus explained the cause and effect in the simplest terms. March 7th glanced at Acheron suspiciously before accepting it. Apart from her strange clothes and the weapon in her hand, there was indeed nothing to be suspicious of.

"We're going to find Station Master Asta now, she's the boss here. The Antimatter Legion suddenly attacked. If our Astral Express hadn't happened to be docked here, you would have been sitting at the same table with them."

While on the way, March 7th told Caelus about the changes in the area. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she had already assigned the role of savior to herself.

While traveling, March 7th introduced Caelus to the origins of the Voidrangers. Simply put, they were a group of wicked villains whose purpose was to destroy civilizations of intelligent life, and they were sweeping across the entire universe.

The top boss of the Voidrangers was the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook. It was unclear when this Aeon came into existence, but it was the one who had walked the furthest on the Path of Destruction and attained divinity. Everything about it was a mystery, but as the ultimate of the Path of Destruction, its sole purpose was to destroy everything, fitting its persona perfectly.

Caelus scratched his head. He hadn't expected that the impending disaster of this space station came from an Aeon. He knew what Aeons were. It was fortunate that only minor subordinates had arrived; otherwise, he would have really been writing his will with March 7th. To die less than a day after being born, who could accept that?

Chapter 5 A Brief Update on the Current Situation of the Book

Attention, old readers! Attention, old readers! Attention, old readers! This is very important, so I'll say it three times.

Don't read the content before Chapter 24. Starting from Chapter 24, it will be a direct continuation of the previous season's content. It starts with Penacony after the Xianzhou arc. The emotions and plot are written to continue seamlessly, with no unexpected changes. All the waifus are still here.

Many of you are probably following from the first half. The current situation is that I'm using an introduction that all readers can understand to describe the basic settings. The chapters will be similar to the original, but not exactly the same. Some modifications will be made, and then new content will be released once the groundwork is laid.

Please give Lu Xiaobi a lot of support (:∠)

Chapter 6 One Hit Kill

"Miss Acheron here is a bit quiet, isn't she?"

As March 7th walked, she noticed something was off. There were four people in their group, but only she and Caelus were talking. The other two seemed to have been hit with a silence spell.

"Have you heard of 'fierce people don't talk much'?" Caelus said.

"No, I haven't."

"Because they spend all their talking time thinking about how to kill."

Caelus's explanation made March 7th ruffle her pink hair. It sounded plausible, yet something felt off. Still, she could grudgingly accept it.

"It's good to have combat power. Besides, we'll reach the Main Control Zone soon, and it'll be safe there. Look, it's been peaceful all the way, and there are no Antimatter Legion monsters outside the elevator."

March 7th said with a smile. The elevator was right in front of her. This elevator led directly to the Main Control Zone, which was currently the safest place on the space station. However, Caelus didn't think so.

"You saying that now is like tempting fate..."

Before Caelus could finish speaking, a brand-new Voidranger appeared before them. Its upper body was human, and its lower body was a horse, a classic centaur design.

Roar!

The centaur let out a strange neigh, and the space around them distorted. Dozens of Voidrangers jumped out in response, surrounding Caelus and the others.

"Little March, it's all your fault for tempting fate. Now we're all going to die. Just wait for our joint burial."

Caelus was completely freaked out. He knew that March 7th's idiotic habit of tempting fate would have a miraculous effect. As expected, they were coming for him. He wasn't going to let himself be at a disadvantage, so he grabbed March 7th's cheeks and started rubbing them, preparing to go out with a flourish before dying.

"Why would I have a joint burial with you?"

March 7th complained helplessly. Although she also felt that the number of enemies was overwhelming, it wasn't a guaranteed death yet. Caelus's pessimistic personality was something she didn't know where he learned it from.

While Caelus and March 7th were pulling at each other, the Voidrangers didn't stand idle. The centaur charged at Caelus and stomped down with its front hooves. This attack was powerful and heavy; even the armor of a heavy tank would be crushed in one blow. But before Caelus could be crushed, a graceful figure blocked in front of him.

Acheron held the scabbard in her right hand across her chest. The centaur's hooves trampled on the scabbard, but instead of lowering her arm, it produced the sound of a drawn blade. The centaur's entire body tilted backward and fell.

Acheron immediately struck a drawing pose. No one could clearly see how she drew her blade; in the next second, the centaur's body split in two. The other charging Voidrangers also turned into residue and vanished, as if they had never appeared.

"Heavens, she's that strong?"

March 7th rubbed her eyes, confirming she wasn't mistaken. She had expected a tough battle, but they had won so easily. Truly, a person of action, not words.

Dan Heng remained silent, merely glancing at Acheron one more time. With that combat prowess, she couldn't possibly be a local from the space station. If not, then she was an uninvited guest who entered the station amidst the Voidrangers' invasion. Whether to escort her to the central control area became a difficult choice.

"Of course! I'll stake my entire fortune on Acheron being a good person. If she's bad, I'll tear down the entire space station."

Caelus said this seemingly casually, but it precisely dispelled Dan Heng's doubts. The truth was, if Acheron harbored any ill intentions, the space station would be finished, and the Antimatter Legion wouldn't even need to act.

"Let's go, quickly, before we attract anything else strange."

March 7th jogged into the elevator and used the keycard she'd found to unlock it. Caelus and Acheron followed closely behind, with Dan Heng entering last. Soon, the group was sent to the most important section of the space station.

As the elevator doors opened again, a vast area appeared before Caelus. Countless staff members were bustling about, running up and down. Apart from the walkways, transparent screens floated everywhere, monitoring all intelligence within the space station. Many surveillance monitors showed Voidrangers running rampant, still wreaking havoc within the station. However, with a reliable Station Master, they wouldn't be able to cause trouble for much longer.

"Little March, Dan Heng, you're back."

A gentle voice sounded. Caelus looked towards the beautiful woman walking towards them. She had fiery red long hair, wore a loose, open coat over a white dress adorned with many golden ornaments, and was wealthy and generous. The dress exposed a expanse of fair skin above her chest, where a prominent mole was located. Caelus's gaze was enough to make him exclaim that a red-haired older sister could be his mother!

"Himeko, you should have come sooner! The situation outside was too terrifying. Only you and Uncle Yang could hold the fort."

March 7th pouted and complained upon seeing Himeko. But complaints aside, she had completed her rescue mission, and had done quite well.

"Welt is holding down the fort on the train. Who are these two strangers?"

Himeko asked Caelus and Acheron softly, looking at them. These two individuals exuded an extraordinary aura, appearing out of place compared to the people of the space station; in simple terms, their styles were completely different.

"Caelus and Miss Acheron. They got lost on the space station, and I brought them here."

March 7th briefly introduced Caelus and Acheron. She said this with complete justification, as neither of them knew the way. Caelus hadn't even been born for an hour, and Acheron was even less familiar, having completely stumbled in while lost.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express."

Himeko raised her hand and waved gently at Caelus and Acheron, offering a greeting. The term "Astral Express" piqued Caelus's curiosity.

"What is the Astral Express?"

Caelus was interested in the Astral Express for a simple reason: his own name could be associated with this train, making him feel a connection.

"Simply put, it's a magical train that can travel through the galaxy. See, you can see its outline over there."

Himeko explained briefly to Caelus. She didn't need to say much about the train to outsiders. She merely pointed towards the distance in the central control section. Through the observation windows, a somewhat retro-looking train could be seen. Apart from the black locomotive, it was followed by carriages.

Caelus lost interest after a glance. There were plenty of vehicles that could navigate the galaxy; this wasn't particularly special.

"Let's go. Since you're from the space station, you should go meet Station Master Asta."

Himeko said with a smile, then led the four of them towards the center of the section. There, a pink-haired girl was directing everything – the Station Master of the space station, Asta.

Chapter 7: I Fought a Doomsday Beast, Is It Real?

By human standards, Asta was underage, yet she managed the space station with impeccable order. Even when faced with such a sudden attack, she showed no signs of panic, instead systematically cornering the Antimatter Legion's Voidrangers.

Caelus felt like he had fallen into a paradise of beautiful women today. After waking up, besides his mother and aunt, everyone he saw was a beauty. Not to mention Acheron and Himeko, even girls like March 7th and Asta displayed their charms fully.

Asta embodied many cute elements: pink hair, a side ponytail, braids, a skirt, high heels, and long legs – all expressions of feminine charm. The moment Caelus saw her, his internal Stellaron stirred.

"Hello everyone, I am Asta, the Station Master here. I'm the unfortunate worker responsible for managing the space station for Miss Herta. Even in this situation, the owner of the space station still refuses to come back and take a look."

Asta placed her right hand on her chest and addressed Caelus and Acheron. Although her memory didn't include these two people on the space station, she chose unity at this critical moment, not pointing out their unknown origins, which would have caused greater panic.

"Who is Herta?"

Caelus felt like he had grasped something. This name, or rather, this person, seemed familiar. It felt like she had done something to him before, but most of his memories were likely forgotten.

"She's a foremost genius in the entire universe, an Emissary of the Aeon of Wisdom, Ya Yanqing, one of only eighty-four people in the entire universe. That's all I can say. Her wisdom is nearly infinite, and this space station is full of her followers, including myself."

Asta's eyes showed undisguised reverence when she mentioned Herta. Caelus had a general idea of what an Emissary was; likely the top enforcer under an Aeon. Aeons typically dealt with other Aeons and wouldn't have time to deal with minor figures. For more powerful individuals, Aeons would delegate some of their power to their Emissaries to resolve issues. In essence, Emissaries blessed by an Aeon could casually decide the fate of countless lives.

Herta being an Emissary wasn't a secret; only Caelus and Acheron were unaware of it. Acheron's reaction was indifferent, still maintaining her persona as a silent expert.

"So, the Antimatter Legion has a grudge against her?"

Caelus entered spectator mode. The space station being inexplicably surrounded by so many Voidrangers – perhaps they came for revenge. He was now watching a cosmic sci-fi blockbuster, with an Emissary taking on the Legion.

"It's true that Miss Herta often offends people, but it's difficult to provoke an Aeon of Destruction. I think they're more likely after the collectibles here, those small items with magical powers, which are considered wonders throughout the universe."

"I've only heard about it, but Miss Herta stored her rarest and most dangerous collections here. Thinking about it, it makes sense that the Antimatter Legion wants to steal them for nefarious purposes."

Asta explained the situation to Caelus, adding her own speculation about the attack. Even Aeons would desire sufficiently peculiar items; that was the implication.

"Oh no, it's coming for me."

Caelus scratched his gray hair. If his memory served him correctly, he seemed to have been brought here by Herta. Now that he had run off on his own, Herta would surely be pleased to see him.

Asta looked at Caelus with confusion. Just as she was about to ask a question, the main control screen she managed turned blood red, emitting a piercing alarm. She immediately pulled up the external surveillance of the space station and saw a blue and white dragon-like monster circling the station. As it drew closer, it pounced on a weak point in the station's defenses, using its sharp claws to tear open the defensive field.

Although it didn't speak, nor did it issue any threats, its actions were clear enough: it intended to break in.

"A Doomsday Beast. The Legion's anti-star weapon. Its power is beyond what this place can withstand."

Himeko immediately recognized the giant monster's identity. An anti-star weapon meant it could destroy a planet. Perhaps not directly obliterate a planet, but at least possess the power to destroy a civilization.

"You all go, get on the train. I'll stay here."

Asta gritted her teeth and said, she only issued the evacuation order to Himeko and the others, and her intention was naturally to perish with the space station. The same went for the other thousands of researchers. Those who could leave on this occasion were only the Star Rail.

"Let's go."

Himeko grabbed Caelus's arm and headed towards the elevator without a word. Caelus was a bit stunned. Why was he being brought along? Didn't he want to perish with Asta? He wasn't even given a choice.

Acheron glanced at the Caelus who was being taken away and then followed. She was already bored to the point of falling asleep, but the arrival of a big guy could liven things up.

Caelus was quickly brought by Himeko to the observation deck outside the main control room. At this time, the Doomsday Beast had already broken through the space station's defensive field and entered the observation deck. If it weren't for a partitioned area behind them, this place would have become a vacuum, making it difficult to breathe, let alone fight.

"Caelus, the Star Rail is right there. If we can't win, we'll retreat."

Himeko pointed to the Star Rail docked at the port not far away and said. She first told Caelus where the escape route was, implying that he could run at any time, but before running, they had to try to save the space station.

"I'm going to fight the Doomsday Beast? Seriously?"

Caelus's expression was a mix of amusement and exasperation. How long had he been born? He was already going to fight a weapon like the Doomsday Beast. Did this game have no beginner protection period? It was risky to do this to a new account.

Despite his complaints, Caelus didn't immediately escape. Asta was his type, and that girl, being so young, knew to perish with the space station. How could Caelus run away without even trying? Being defeated wasn't shameful; running away without a fight was.

So, Caelus immediately latched onto Acheron. He sidled up to her and whispered.

"Go take care of the Doomsday Beast."

"Okay."

Acheron's immediate agreement caught Caelus off guard. He was just joking and didn't actually intend for Acheron to risk her life. But seeing her calm demeanor, the Doomsday Beast seemed like a mere chick to her.

"Can that also be one-shotted?"

Caelus pointed at the Doomsday Beast, which was idling nearby, and asked. It was unclear what it was doing. Perhaps it was waiting for someone to initiate combat. In any case, it wasn't in a hurry to attack the space station, instead shaking its head and looking around.

"Yes."

Acheron's expression remained calm. She didn't mind fighting, especially for others. The current situation wasn't Caelus causing trouble; he had passively encountered danger. Acting now wouldn't violate her principles.

"Big sis, please continue to hold onto me later. I'll secretly tell you, I was actually only born a few hours ago. I'm still a child."

Caelus said joyfully. He still didn't know Acheron's limits, but he shamelessly asked for protection. After all, he truly was a child, and there was no trace of a lie in his words.
