Ark

"Ai Yi, what's going on? Why is there such a huge spatial fluctuation during the jump?" Zhang Wei got up from the ground. He knew that Hyperion had some damage, but a normal jump shouldn't cause this.

Kiana and the others also slowly got up from the ground. The violent impact had sent even them, who were mentally prepared, tumbling to the floor from their seats. However, with their physical condition, these bumps and bruises didn't hurt at all.

"Sister Ai Yi, what's happening? Are we being chased by the Imaginary Tree or something again?" Mei asked. This situation clearly indicated that Hyperion had hit something, or been hit by something.

"Ahhhhh, this earth-shattering battle! As the savior, I am about to win the battle to save the world!"

A girl with purple hair, wearing purple pajamas, headphones, and holding a game controller, with dark circles under her delicate face (caused by playing games all night), let out a sharp, panicked scream as she rushed out of her room, spouting chuunibyou lines.

"Jiu Xiao, I won!"

Jana's gentle voice rang out, but to Jiu Xiao, it was like a devil's whisper. She refused to accept that she had lost to Jana, an amateur.

"It was an accident!" Jiu Xiao mumbled, her face flushed red, her neck stiff.

"You're not going to back out, are you? I didn't expect the great savior lady to be someone who can't handle losing!" Jana twirled her hair around her fingertips, her eyes with black sclera and red pupils filled with amusement.

"Who, who, who... would back out? If I lost, I lost. I'll win it back next time!" Jiu Xiao 'humiliated' herself by admitting the fact.

"Jana, can you wear some normal clothes? And Captain, your eyes!" Kiana pouted, puffing up like a pufferfish, seeing that Zhang Wei's eyes were practically glued to Jana.

Jana's attire couldn't really be called clothes. A few scattered black patterns just barely covered her private parts, giving Jana an alluring and exotic beauty that held immense destructive power and attraction for many men.

"My dear Kiana, doesn't the Captain like it very much?" Jana moved gracefully, sitting down in Zhang Wei's lap in a few steps. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck like a beautiful snake, her breath warm against his ear.

Kiana: "..."

Kiana clenched her fists, capable of smashing planets. Jana had feelings for her, and Kiana was close to Zhang Wei, so Jana's affection for Zhang Wei was incredibly fervent. Furthermore, Jana's true form was a planetary-class Honkai Beast, so human emotions like shame were completely absent, and she acted with complete abandon.

Zhang Wei could only remain silent at this moment, quietly enjoying Jana's soft, boneless body. Staying quiet was the only way he could live a little longer.

"Hic! Have we arrived in the Honkai Impact 3rd world?"

Himeko made her final appearance, dressed quite provocatively. Perhaps it was because they were all familiar with each other, her ample bosom was constrained by a T-shirt, and her exposed shoulders emitted an alluring white glow.

However, the strong smell of alcohol instantly permeated the entire room. Himeko held a bottle of high-proof white liquor, her face flushed. It was likely that if Hyperion hadn't started shaking, Himeko would still be in her room, drinking and watching TV, with her bloodstream probably filled with alcohol.

"Himeko, drinking too much is bad for your health!"

As Mei, who was responsible for Hyperion's meals, had long had opinions about Himeko's alcoholism. She didn't know how many times Himeko had missed her cooking, which was simply intolerable. However, she had told Himeko this dozens of times, but Himeko always brushed her off with a perfunctory "I know."

As expected, the next moment.

"Hic!"

Himeko burped and said nonchalantly, "I'm the Herrscher of Flames now. Haven't you heard that alcohol doesn't harm Herrschers? Don't worry, Mei. Besides, I'm not a teacher anymore. I've worked hard for so many years, can't I enjoy some alcohol?"

If she didn't want to be drunk, she could simply decompose the alcohol with Honkai Energy. She mainly enjoyed the feeling of being tipsy.

"...Alright!" Mei knew that trying to persuade her was useless; she couldn't stop Himeko from drinking at all.

"Little Captain, the current location we've landed at is about 4500 astronomical units from the sun, about 150 times the distance from Neptune to the sun. There are signs of life!" Ai Yi searched for their current location using Hyperion's powerful functions.

"The reason for the violent shaking was that Hyperion had to make an emergency evasion of a starship parked on the ground during landing."

"A starship? Could it be the Ark?"

Zhang Wei searched his memories for this information and found it. The Ark from the previous civilization's Ark Project, the one Griseo was on, matched perfectly.

"Kiana, take us inside the Ark. We can explore the outside later!"

Although Kiana's current status was Finality, so powerful that she didn't need authority, she could still use the authority of the Herrscher of the Void, and she used it even better than the previous user.

"Okay!"

Kiana snapped her fingers and led Zhang Wei and Mei towards the Ark. As for the others, forget it. Jana's clothes were too revealing, Jiu Xiao looked like she was about to die, and Himeko was there chugging alcohol. She was tired.

"Is this the Ark? So many paints!"

Upon entering the Ark, they were not curious about the high-tech facilities, as Hyperion had them all. However, the ubiquitous oil paint marks surprised Kiana.

"It must have been done by Griseo. Perhaps painting was the only thing that could make her forget time during her long, lonely existence." Zhang Wei touched the colorful paints, which had been dry for a long time.

It wasn't until Honkai Energy was sealed on the moon that Fu Hua found Griseo. He had experienced such a long period, so he understood Griseo's loneliness.

"Is that the starry Griseo?"

During this year of sailing, Kiana had also caught up on the Honkai Impact 3rd story and had an impression of that little blue-haired loli, whom she admired greatly.

"Little Griseo? She must not have eaten delicious food for many years. When I see her, I must treat her to a good meal." Mei's eyes ignited with the flame of determination.

"Let's go to the cryo-sleep pods first. Griseo should be there now. Since we've encountered her, let's bring her along!"

Zhang Wei said helplessly, interrupting Mei's culinary ambitions. No matter which world, Mei always developed into a housewife, except for Raiden Ei. She should be expelled from the Raiden clan.

The room permissions of the Ark presented no obstacle to Zhang Wei. He easily arrived in front of the cryo-sleep pods. Little, no, Big Griseo lay quietly inside.
