As the large screen lit up.
Acheron's PV officially began playing!
Aside from the tense atmosphere at The Reverie Hotel.
Countless players online also gathered to watch it in real time!
The scene began.
What greeted everyone's eyes was the bustling streets of Penacony.
But at this moment.
The streets were empty, save for a woman holding an umbrella.
Drops of water fell from the air.
Under the red paper umbrella.
Purple eyes slowly opened.
It was… the indifferent face of Acheron!
And ahead.
A burst of unrestrained laughter suddenly rang out!
"Hahahaha…"
Following Acheron's gaze.
On the other end of the street.
A man holding a sword, his head lowered, gradually approached Acheron.
As the distance closed.
The man suddenly leaped up.
His sword pointed directly at Acheron!
This,
Instantly caused many to show expressions of surprise!
"How could it be him!?"
"Blade?"
"Why would the Stellaron Hunters target Acheron?"
"Are they going straight into battle?"
"What a hearty laugh!"
Yet Acheron remained calm as ever.
She closed her paper umbrella and, unhurriedly, dodged a few attacks before sighing, "Enough."
"After all... 12"
"The evening rain will eventually fall."
The scene briefly froze here.
In the bottom left corner, the characters "Acheron" appeared, written in bold, ink-splashed strokes.
The title on the seal was... [Galaxy Ranger].
"Huh?"
"Why is it Galaxy Ranger?"
"Is this an official endorsement from Yu Ling?"
"Just now, under the umbrella, there seemed to be hidden characters flashing by... something about a self-something?"
However,
What shocked everyone even more was yet to come!
Acheron suddenly threw her paper umbrella forward.
It anticipated and blocked a barrage of bullets.
The umbrella, propelled by the impact, spiraled into the air.
The footsteps of two more people appeared on the street.
"I don't quite understand."
"Can you speak in plain terms?"
Seeing these two appear,
Everyone was instantly stunned!
It was... Kafka and Silver Wolf!
Three of the Stellaron Hunters' top members were actually here, lying in wait for Acheron!
This scene truly exceeded many people's expectations!
Acheron's opponents could be the family, the company, or even the Galaxy Rangers!
But of all things,
In this video, it was the Stellaron Hunters who took the initiative.
They surrounded Acheron!
Those who dared to come here to participate in the subjugation of Acheron were bold and meticulous.
Seeing this scene, many associations were immediately made!
And as the battle erupted,
They had to temporarily set aside their thoughts and carefully watch this fight!
Whether it was Acheron or the Stellaron Hunters,
They were all important subjects for combat assessment!
Surrounded by three Stellaron Hunters,
For anyone else,
If not panicked, they would at least be on high alert!
Yet Acheron didn't even glance at the three.
She faced the display screen on the side of the building.
The fluorescent light outlined her figure with a serene glow.
This silhouette was absolutely stunning and full of grace!
And what she said next,
Raised Acheron's level of coolness by several notches!
"Come at me together," she said indifferently.
As soon as the words fell,
Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade didn't hold back.
They launched a direct assault.
Kafka's kick was narrowly dodged by Acheron, missing by a mere millimeter.
Silver Wolf and Blade's attacks were also parried one by one by Kafka.
At the same time.
Acheron's calm voice rang out.
"Life is like morning dew, both body and name shall vanish."
"The River of Oblivion lies still, guiding the wandering souls."
The scene briefly froze on her sharp gaze.
Suddenly.
A seamless transition!
Still a close-up of the eyes!
But this time, it was a plain-faced woman applying eyeshadow with a small mirror in hand.
This woman, who was in the midst of her makeup routine, bore a striking resemblance to Acheron, yet was not entirely the same!
The sudden insertion of this peculiar scene in the midst of battle.
Left many feeling incredulous!
Could it really be portrayed this way?
As the camera shifted to a side profile.
It seamlessly transitioned to the woman applying lipstick.
A long lip brush.
A dark red background.
Her hair cascading down.
Even though it was just a scene of a woman doing her makeup.
It exuded a breathtaking beauty!
"Huh?"
"Why does this feel like a cosmetics commercial?"
"I thought Ruan Mei's PV was already artistic enough, but this PV has reached new heights on a different level!"
"I know, this is Yu Ling using a unique technique to portray Acheron's ease and grace in battle."
"She can even recite poetry while fighting!"
"Damn, is she really that strong?"
Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade launched a full-scale attack on Acheron from three directions!
At that moment.
The woman in the makeup scene closed her compact.
"Boom!"
The ground immediately caved in.
The surrounding rocks exploded like ripe fruit.
Shards of stone mixed with streaks of lightning filled the air.
Acheron actually managed to block the attacks of all three with her long sword!
And!
Up until now!
Acheron hadn't even drawn her real blade!
Everything was done with the sword still in its sheath.
"I mourn for the departed…"
After uttering these words.
Acheron's gaze darkened.
A flash of lightning flickered in her eyes!
With a powerful shake!
She simultaneously repelled Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade!
And Acheron,
Finally grasped the hilt of her sword.
It seemed she was finally about to draw it!
Everyone,
In that instant, their hearts leapt to their throats!
Eager to see what kind of blade it was!
"Flow, the sword light of the past."
"Hum!!!!!"
However.
All anyone saw was a series of afterimages of Acheron!
And the air being sliced into neat, geometric shapes by the sword light.
By the time the focus returned to Acheron.
She had already completed the motion of sheathing her sword!
Too fast!
The movement of drawing the sword was completely imperceptible!
Those with weaker mental fortitude were left dumbfounded, unable to speak.
Those with stronger nerves could still manage to exclaim in awe.
"Damn! One sword against three Stellaron Hunters?"
"Is this Acheron's ultimate move?"
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
"I'm out of here…"
However.
The main event had only just begun.
As the screen shattered.
It seemed as if some seal within Acheron had also been severed.
The screen was engulfed in a sea of crimson.
Thick red smoke rolled in, drowning everything.
Blood-red flowers.
Eerie vertical pupils.
And other fleeting images flashed by!
"Reclaim these lost memories…"
"Stain them,"
"With your color."
The street,
The rain intensified.
A car drove past Acheron.
The wind tousled her hair.
And it also stirred her gaze.
Acheron looked up at the large screen on the upper floor.
An advertisement was playing there.
It was the same lady who had been applying makeup earlier!
In other words.
The performance during the battle just now.
Was not a blend of reality and illusion!
But there was indeed a makeup advertisement playing in the background.
Acheron's attacks,
Every move in that fleeting moment,
Perfectly aligned with the content of the makeup advertisement.
This instantly elevated the battle to a realm of artistic conception!
And at this moment.
The woman in the advertisement seemed to come alive.
She spoke to Acheron: "Find me."
"Find me."
"The final you."
"And the initial me."
The originally melodious background music suddenly became intense!
Raindrops fell on Acheron.
She was suddenly moved by it!
She spread her feet apart.
The puddles on the ground were instantly rippled.
She seemed to have made a certain resolution!
She gripped her long sword with both hands.
The hand holding the hilt was already stained with a layer of red!
"All the past..."
"Has already returned to Nihility."
This time.
Her sword,
Was truly about to be fully drawn!
Red petals danced in the air.
Everyone,
At this moment, held their breath!
As Acheron drew that red sword on the large screen.
That shade of red.
The figures of everyone present were slowly being enveloped.
"She's drawing her blade, she's really drawing her blade..."
"Holy crap! Why do I feel like she's going to come through the screen and slash us?"
"This is just a PV, why do I feel so much pressure?"
"I'm sweating buckets!"
"What is she doing!?"
"Weren't the Stellaron Hunters already driven back? Why is she still drawing her blade?!"
