(Jean: I think I saw a big guy that looks like a dragon flash by among the Voidrangers!)
(Venti: It does look a bit like Dvalin. I wonder if that guy is strong.)
(Dvalin: Don't use me as a combat unit!)
(Venti: Ehe!)
(Andrius: Is that dragon that looks somewhat like Dvalin also a Voidranger of the Antimatter Legion?)
(Mountain Shaper: The only Voidranger Lord Takagi mentioned that we haven't truly seen yet is the Doomsday Beast. Could that be the Doomsday Beast?)
(Madame Ping: There shouldn't be only the Voidrangers we know among them, but if that dragon is truly the Doomsday Beast, its power should be quite troublesome.)
(Yanfei: Even its name has the words "Doomsday" in it. The Doomsday Beast is definitely not simple. I just hope that dragon isn't some Doomsday Beast.)
"Lord Takagi, can the Space Station handle so many Voidrangers?" Seeing the dense Voidrangers outside the window, Lisa turned around and asked with a worried look. She had a good impression of the people on the Space Station, and she also had an agreement with Wen Shiling, a researcher on the Space Station. Therefore, even though Lisa was an outsider, she still didn't want anything to happen to it.
"Don't worry, the Space Station is much stronger than Yarilo-VI. Although there are many Voidrangers, they are nothing to the Space Station. However, you few need to be careful not to be overwhelmed by the Voidranger army," Takagi waved his hand and said.
In the original work, the Space Station was caught off guard by the Voidrangers and Fragmentum rifts. Now that Takagi had arranged for La Signora's help in advance, he didn't think that with Asta's ability, anything would go wrong. At most, solving these problems would just take her some time.
"Because the Space Station can handle this matter, so that's why Lord Takagi you are so calm and don't plan to intervene?" Dottore muttered.
"Isn't this considering that you probably also need some practical combat practice? Also, I plan to go to a place to wait for two people later... To be precise, it should be three people. So I plan to go to that place and wait first. As for you... Since the matters of the Simulated Universe are concluded, I think I have already made you sufficiently experience the scientific research achievements developed by true geniuses. So, you can have a period of free time next," Takagi said.
He could feel that Kafka and Silver Wolf had also started to act. It wouldn't be long before the two of them could reach the place where Herta stored the sealed Stellaron. He planned to go directly to that place to wait for Silver Wolf and Kafka, and witness them awakening the Trailblazer. After all, this was a moment of considerable historical significance in the Star Rail world. Takagi felt that as a player, he had to watch it live. Besides, he was also very curious about whether Kafka would choose Stelle or Caelus.
"Free time... does that mean we can act together with Lord Takagi?" Cloud Retainer asked.
"It's not a problem to act with me. However, acting with me doesn't mean I will help solve Voidrangers or other types of enemies stronger than Voidrangers. You still need to be prepared for battle. Even so, do you still want to act with me?" Takagi smiled.
Although Takagi did not plan to conflict with Kafka and Silver Wolf, meeting them might lead them to choose to attack proactively. And these two were definitely much, much stronger than the Voidrangers invading the Space Station. They would even be more difficult to deal with than the Doomsday Beast. If these two chose to attack the passengers following Takagi, they probably wouldn't have much reaction ability, even though Dottore and the others were definitely considered strong in Teyvat.
"I'll go with you, Lord Takagi. I'm a bit curious about the people you want to see," Lisa said after a moment of thought. Since Takagi wasn't worried about the current state of the Herta Space Station, Lisa didn't need to worry too much either. And she knew herself well. If the Space Station couldn't handle these Antimatter Legion forces, adding her wouldn't help much. It would be better to stay with Takagi, ensure her safety, and also meet the people Takagi wanted to see.
"Curious, huh..." Takagi raised an eyebrow.
"To be able to make Lord Takagi go out of his way to meet them, there must be some very interesting people among them. I wonder if it will be a genius on a universe level. Or, among these people, there are beautiful girls wearing black stockings that Lord Takagi likes," Lisa said with a light chuckle.
"There are no black stockings, but there are people wearing purple stockings. And she is indeed a beautiful woman," Takagi stroked his chin and said.
Lisa: "Is she the type you admire?"
Takagi: "She is!"
"So, besides black and white stockings, Lord Takagi also likes purple stockings. In that case, I want to act with you even more, Lord Takagi?" Lisa smiled.
Takagi: "Why?"
Lisa ran a hand through her hair and smiled softly: "Understanding a little bit about what kind of people Lord Takagi likes might be beneficial for me... for us to get along with you, wouldn't it? After all, many people on the forums are saying to wear stockings to attract you and make you build the Astral Express in certain places."
(Dori: That's right, it's me! Look, Nilou, Miss Lisa is so savvy, you should learn from her.)
(Nilou: ...)
(Dehya: As expected of Miss Lisa, so bold.)
(Navia: Inspiring admiration.)
(Yae Miko: I wish Inazuma had such brave people too.)
(Sangonomiya Kokomi: But Inazuma is currently in a state of isolation.)
(Yae Miko: You're right! Sigh, it's a pity, otherwise I would have wanted to try if I could attract Lord Takagi's investment.)
(Raiden Shogun: No, the Astral Express cannot enter Inazuma.)
(Ei: Indeed.)
(Yae Miko: Sigh.)
(Ningguang: The situation in Inazuma is indeed complicated, but speaking of black stockings... Keqing, it seems the matter of helping Lord Takagi tour Liyue will be left to you.)
(Keqing: Wh-What? You're quite suitable too.)
(Ningguang: I don't have the habit of wearing stockings.)
(Keqing: But I think you would definitely look good in stockings.)
(Yelan: Agreed.)
(Ningguang: If you have to say that, aren't you the same, Yelan?)
"If you have to say that beautiful women in stockings can attract me, aren't you the type that attracts me, Lisa? However, it doesn't matter. If you want to follow, come along." Takagi shrugged and looked at Nahida and Cloud Retainer again. "What about you? Do you want to follow too?" Takagi asked.
"The people Lord Takagi wants to meet shouldn't be just because there are beauties in tight stockings among them. I am very curious about the other factors that make Lord Takagi willing to actively meet these people," Cloud Retainer pushed up her glasses and said.
"Could it be Herta, the master of the Herta Space Station?" Nahida asked.
Hearing Herta's name, Dottore immediately looked over. He was quite curious about someone who was evaluated by Takagi and Asta as someone that even the Rating Pistol couldn't assign a score to.
"Or, besides Herta, are there Ruan Mei and Screwllum, whom you mentioned before, Lord Takagi?" Dottore inquired.
"They are not members of the Genius Society. To be precise, they are some hunters who target Stellarons," Takagi shook his head and said.
"Hunters targeting Stellarons?" Cloud Retainer was startled and said, "I remember Lord Takagi mentioning that the Herta Space Station has a sealed Stellaron. Could it be that the people Lord Takagi wants to meet are people who came here to steal the Stellaron?"
Takagi nodded slightly, confirming Cloud Retainer's statement.
Dottore's eyes widened. Although the person Takagi wanted to see was not a member of the Genius Society like Herta, someone capable of hunting Stellarons also greatly interested him.
Cloud Retainer: "Since that's the case, I should indeed act together with Lord Takagi."
Nahida: "I think so too."
Since Takagi believed that the Space Station had sufficient strength to deal with the Antimatter Legion, Cloud Retainer and the others naturally wanted to learn more about the situation happening with the Stellaron.
"Lord Takagi, can I also act with you?" Dottore asked.
"What, you don't plan to participate in the battle against the Antimatter Legion? If you can face intense battles, perhaps you will be able to step onto the Path. Moreover, your colleague, La Signora, is currently fighting the Antimatter Legion," Takagi said to Dottore with interest.
"Fighting the Antimatter Legion should be no different from fighting the hunters who steal the Stellaron. Perhaps by fighting them, my chances of stepping onto the Path will be even higher, you never know," Dottore smiled.
"I don't think you have the qualifications to fight them. Let alone you, even if the five of you passengers were to team up, you would only be easily subdued by them," Takagi shook his head and stepped towards the location of the Stellaron he sensed. He didn't stop Dottore from following him. Since they wanted to come, let them all come.
Nahida and Lisa were surprised by Takagi's evaluation of the Stellaron Hunters' strength, but they didn't forget to quicken their pace to keep up with him.
......
(Jean: I never thought that in that universe, there would actually be hunters who prey on Stellarons.)
(Paimon: I don't understand, what do these people want with such a dangerous thing?)
(Rosaria: Could it be that they want to use the Stellaron to destroy the world?)
(Barbara: Miss Rosaria, please don't say such terrifying things.)
(Rosaria: I'm just stating a possibility. Speaking of which... there's no need to mention Dottore, who hasn't stepped onto the Path yet, but Nahida's strength has been recognized by the Geo Archon. Even so, facing these Stellaron Hunters, will she be easily defeated?)
(Lumine: Not only that, Lord Takagi said they can defeat the current 5 passengers, and four of them have already stepped onto the Path!)
(Ningguang: And although Dottore hasn't stepped onto the Path, he possesses power comparable to the Archons of Teyvat.)
(Tartaglia: In other words, can the Stellaron Hunters easily defeat the Geo Archon?)
(Mountain Shaper: No matter how powerful these Stellaron Hunters are, they shouldn't possess the power to easily defeat Rex Lapis!)
(Xiangling: Yes, even in the universe, it's impossible for just anyone to casually come along and surpass our Geo Archon. Even those golden figures in the previous Simulated Universe, although their power was strong, Rex Lapis could defeat them, right?)
(Yae Miko: Being able to easily defeat the Geo Archon, does that mean they can also easily defeat the Shogun?)
(Kujou Sara: Please be careful with your words, Yae Miko! The Shogun will never be defeated by just any Stellaron Hunter.)
(Yae Miko: But they are, after all, hunters who target Stellarons, so it's reasonable for them to possess powerful strength, right?)
(Kujou Sara: They merely target sealed Stellarons, this does not prove they possess powerful strength, I believe in the Shogun.)
(Yae Miko: Fine, if that's the case, then let's continue watching. We will definitely see the Stellaron Hunters later anyway. After all, we can now see this sealed Stellaron.)
Led by Takagi, the group arrived at the place where the Stellaron was stored without any hindrance. Even though there were mechanisms set up by Herta where the Stellaron was stored, this was nothing to Takagi.
Upon seeing the Stellaron sealed in a transparent device, the discussion comments in the forum instantly increased. Dottore, who was following behind Takagi, also immediately widened his eyes and couldn't help but step forward to where the Stellaron was sealed.
"It's really a Stellaron!" Dottore looked at the glittering Stellaron, an emotion called desire almost overflowing from his eyes.
Takagi: "What, interested in it?"
Dottore: "If I said I wasn't interested, Lord Takagi, you wouldn't believe me, would you?"
Takagi heard this and said with a smile: "Since you're so interested, why don't you try to seize the Stellaron from the two Stellaron Hunters who will be arriving here next? If you can take the Stellaron from the hands of the two of them, I can make the decision not to let Herta pursue you for taking the Stellaron."
(Sangonomiya Kokomi: Lord Takagi should not be serious, right.)
(Xiangling: I... I don't want Teyvat to turn out like Yarilo-VI.)
(Chef Mao: There shouldn't be too much to worry about, based on Lord Takagi's evaluation of the Stellaron Hunters, Dottore won't be their opponent.)
(Xiangling: But, but what if? What if the Stellaron Hunters aren't that strong?)
(Chef Mao: Should... shouldn't be?)
"Lord Takagi, are you telling the truth?" Dottore heard this and immediately turned to look at Takagi.
"Naturally, it's true. However, if you fight the Stellaron Hunters and die, don't blame me," Takagi smiled.
Dottore: "I understand..." He wasn't afraid of his current body perishing. He was afraid of perishing without any value. If he could truly bring the Stellaron before his other segments, he was willing to sacrifice himself.
"Speaking of which, Lord Takagi. You said earlier that the person you wanted to see was three, right. But when you mentioned the Stellaron Hunters earlier, there were only two, why is that?" Dottore exhaled and asked curiously. Although he knew he shouldn't be an opponent for the Stellaron Hunters, for the Stellaron, he still wanted to give it a try. Before that, he naturally needed to understand the opponent's information first.
"I said I wanted to see three people. But I didn't say all three were Stellaron Hunters," Takagi shrugged and said.
Dottore: "Then who is this one who isn't a Stellaron Hunter?"
Takagi glanced at Dottore, then turned his head to look at the Stellaron in front of him. "If you can truly take the Stellaron for yourself, you probably won't be able to see that third person. After all, this one is an existence that will only wake up after this Stellaron is inserted into that body," Takagi said.
"Insert the Stellaron into the body? Wouldn't that be the same state as Cocolia?" Lisa frowned.
"That won't be the case, unlike Cocolia. That one is very special, even with a Stellaron inside their body, nothing unusual will happen. His body can perfectly accommodate the Stellaron and use its power," Takagi said.
"A Stellaron can be safely placed inside a person's body?" Upon hearing this, Lisa's gaze, which had been fixed on the Stellaron, shifted to Takagi, her face filled with astonishment. Nahida, Cloud Retainer, and Dottore also reacted similarly.
Meanwhile, on La Signora's side.
"If I can obtain the Stellaron and use its power... revenge will be much easier," La Signora muttered to herself.
