The next draw count had been obtained.
But 'Acheron' was not in a hurry to leave this place.
After all, with the system's protection, her tolerance limit was much stronger than Acheron had guessed.
So 'Acheron' simply stayed here, practicing her blade techniques with Acheron.
She intended to siphon as much of Acheron's swordsmanship as possible during these twenty-something days.
As for her earlier promise that Acheron would no longer be alone,
it was not an impulsive declaration.
Since she had the system's protection, the danger of entering and exiting this place was eliminated.
And this place was likely simpler to access than 'Acheron' had imagined.
By contacting Nihility and submerging along its shadow to a certain point, one could arrive here.
In the future, she could visit Acheron whenever she wanted.
And when 'Acheron' had free time,
she immediately used the new draw count.
And then…
Golden radiance peeked through the gaps of the train doors.
The next second,
a woman wearing a white jumpsuit, with long, pale purple hair that reached past her knees, and a strange star-ring circling her neck,
appeared before Baiming's eyes.
"…?"
The first reaction Baiming had upon seeing this character
was a question mark plastered over his head.
Wait,
Who is this??
Is there a character like this in my playable character pool?
Isn't this supposed to be a self-serving character gacha?
Where did this woman come from…
Baiming was bewildered for a moment.
Then he looked at the name at the bottom of the card.
"Annihilation Gang Lord Star-shatterer. Oh… an Annihilation Gang Lord, what the heck! Why is there an Annihilation Gang Lord in the card pool??"
Baiming was completely shocked.
This card pool isn't just for playable characters???
You used a gacha interface identical to the game; I assumed the card pool was identical too.
What? Annihilation Gang Lords can be drawn, too?
Does that mean I might draw Phantylia next?
Baiming was utterly confused.
How am I supposed to handle this run?
If she went out using the name Star-shatterer, wouldn't the other Annihilation Gang Lords come together and launch a holy gang-up on her?
And...
If she played the role of an Annihilation Gang Lord, wouldn't Nanook look over?
A replica Annihilation Gang Lord suddenly appearing under his command.
Wouldn't Nanook glance over?
Wouldn't he just flatten me with one slap?
Baiming felt a bit uneasy.
And utterly perplexed.
Is there not a single ordinary person in my card pool?
What, is it a celestial crime for me to get one easy run?
The cards she drew kept getting harder to play.
Oh, this time it's an Annihilation Gang Lord.
Next, are you going to give me the Abundance?
Then I'll just be shot into a sieve by the Emperor's Bow.
Baiming truly felt she had terrible luck.
When could she draw an easy run like Sushang, Seele, or Clara?
Baiming looked at her panel:
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Acheron)]
[Lifespan: 02:15:59:53 (Paused) + 23 Days (Character Impersonation)]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta (Recharge: 19.2%), Acheron, Star-shatterer]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (4.6%)]
The data was still slowly increasing.
That was normal.
The news of Shuhu's complete death would continue to spread for a while.
She should still gain a good amount of Emotional Value.
But obtaining another draw count would be difficult.
And since she had been so open with the real Acheron, gaining a large amount of Emotional Value from her would also be hard.
If nothing unexpected happens...
For the next thirty days, she was going to be an Annihilation Gang Lord.
She just hoped that the authentic Star-shatterer wouldn't show up with her colleagues, beat her to the ground, and take her away for 'special treatment.'
"Ugh..."
Life was getting increasingly precarious.
Baiming shook her head and sighed.
...
Several days later.
In the desolate land with no distinction between day and night, after sparring with Acheron until exhaustion,
'Acheron' took out the bottle of specialized medicine, which still had many pills left, from the silver ring.
"By the way, try this bottle of medicine?"
"What is this?"
Acheron took the pill, asking as she threw it into her mouth.
She seemed completely unconcerned about the medicine's effect.
"I created this specialized medicine while impersonating Great Herta, borrowing the intelligence of a genius. It can suppress the erosion of Nihility on the body to a certain extent."
"?!"
Acheron was initially skeptical.
She thought it would just have a rather ordinary effect.
But as the pill was swallowed,
a strange power spread from her lower abdomen.
She clearly felt that the power of Nihility, which previously required her conscious effort to suppress and prevent from spreading,
had actually lost its tendency to expand outward.
And her sense of taste seemed to have recovered significantly.
"It's actually effective?!"
Acheron looked at Baiming sitting across from her, completely stunned.
"Of course. I have the complete manufacturing method and equipment. You no longer have to strain yourself to suppress your power."
"Thank you. And, if I meet other people, this medicine..."
"It's up to you. I know you have a kind heart."
'Acheron' smiled and waved her hand.
'Acheron' was well aware that this person, aside from being incredibly powerful, was a genuinely gentle person.
So, she didn't mind the medicine spreading.
Moreover,
'Acheron' happily glanced at her panel.
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Acheron)]
[Lifespan: 03:09:59:53 (Paused) + 19 Days (Character Impersonation)]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta (Recharge: 25.2%), Acheron, Star-shatterer]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (28.4%)]
Just this bottle of medicine and the formula.
It made her draw progress bar surge by twenty percent.
One-fifth of the progress bar in exchange for a mere formula.
It was definitely worthwhile.
It was just a shame.
She had no more tricks up her sleeve.
The progress would likely only increase to around forty percent at most in the remaining time.
More than that was probably out of the question.
And Acheron, having received a definite answer, looked at her with increasingly tender eyes.
"How long can you maintain my form?"
"About twenty days, I think. Why?"
"To arrange a suitable training plan for you. I don't understand your impersonation logic, but all I need to do is help you create a new blade technique, right?"
'Acheron' nodded at her words:
"That's correct. I appreciate the trouble."
"It's nothing. There's no third person to talk to here anyway."
No one?
'Acheron' paused upon hearing this. She felt that something wasn't quite right.
She then asked curiously:
"Aren't there a lot of Galaxy Ranger Soulguilts here?"
"Galaxy Rangers? No, why would there be Galaxy Rangers? The last time I left, it was for a City-Builder's dying wish, not a Galaxy Ranger's."
Upon saying this, Acheron also suddenly felt strange.
She occasionally left the Styx for the final wishes of these lone souls, walking the outside world.
She didn't use the Galaxy Ranger title every time.
She used titles like former Nameless, City-Builder, or Knight of Beauty more often.
"No..."
'Acheron' was also stunned upon hearing this.
No large numbers of Galaxy Ranger Soulguilts?
Wait a minute...
When exactly did Ifrit lead the Galaxy Rangers to fight Annihilation Gang Lord Zhurong??
Hasn't that happened yet??
'Acheron' couldn't wrap her head around it.
