Honkai Star Rail: I am Godzilla, domineering and rampant.

"Then take your brats and go die first."

"I'll kill you first!"

--------------------------------------

Watching a group of Borisin quarreling endlessly, the one who first organized this gathering secretly shook his head.

Like Mok Tok, he was a member of the Dog hunting group and paid more attention to Mok Tok's plan than other hunting groups.

Naturally, he was clear about what was generally happening on the Xianzhou now.

These guys, still fighting at this point.

It is true that this star region is occupied by the Denizens of Abundance, and even if the Xianzhou wanted to send a large fleet to attack, it would indeed be difficult.

However, unlike the Xianzhou Alliance, the power of the Denizens of Abundance does not unite so easily. As long as it concerns the Denizens of Abundance, the Xianzhou Alliance directly discards their usual quarrels and unites their strength as one.

And the Borisin were only one branch of the Denizens of Abundance, hoping that when they were in trouble, other Abundance forces would take the initiative to help.

Heh… It would be good enough if those other factions didn't attack the Borisin.

"Enough! Haven't you quarreled enough! The Xianzhou fleet is right outside. If you keep arguing like this, we won't even know when we'll be surrounded!"

Seeing a few hot-tempered ones about to resort to violence while arguing, he immediately roared angrily.

Seeing him angry, the previously quarreling Borisin looked at each other, snorted coldly, but did not continue their argument.

To be able to command their own Borisin hunting group, they were naturally not fools.

They knew that internal strife at this moment would only allow outsiders to profit for nothing, but as leaders, they were unwilling to show weakness, as it concerned their status within the tribe later.

Don't be fooled by the Borisins' burly, brutal appearance, these beings who had lived for centuries were smarter than most when it came to their own interests.

"Since you've calmed down, think carefully about how we should handle this war."

Seeing these guys finally settle down, he snorted coldly. Each and every one of them, so cunning!

As for himself… that was called wisdom.

"Didn't Mok Tok say he was working with those IPC people before? Maybe we can continue their cooperation."

"Hah, don't you read the news? Nowadays, if a Borisin doesn't read the news, one day you'll offend someone you shouldn't and won't even know how it happened."

"I've heard a bit about it. Seems those humans cleaned their own house? Heard it was a huge mess, really lively."

Once again don't be fooled by the Borisin's brutish, violent way of doing things, they were not just muscle-bound creatures!

As leaders of their own hunting groups, they paid particular attention to external information.

The Interastral Peace Corporation, being one of the greatest forces in the universe, had every incident watched by them closely, so they naturally knew what had recently happened there.

"Those humans who cooperated with Mok Tok are either dead or imprisoned. Short-lived species like them, even if they wanted to resist, would have long since turned to dust."

One Borisin said disdainfully.

In this regard, the Borisin looked down on most forces in the universe.

As a species blessed by the Abundance, the Borisin did not have Mara like the Xianzhou people.

If it weren't for their civilization being infamous for its bloodshed and violence, a brutality carved into their very genes, the Borisin might have already evolved into a far more advanced civilization.

They wouldn't have been suppressed by the Xianzhou to the extent they were now.

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

"Put those other matters aside for now. Even if we want to teach them a lesson, we have to be careful. There's an incredible existence on the Xianzhou right now."

As soon as these words fell, the room fell silent, then someone said:

"That's right, I've heard as well. Apparently, it's a giant beast, even a god, that had the Antimatter Legion bleeding and even killed one of their Lord Ravagers!"

"I've heard that too. When the Xianzhou and the Antimatter Legion fought, it didn't take long before it turned into king versus king, Zephyro and that giant beast called Godzilla fought, and in the end, he died, body and soul annihilated. Most of the legion he brought was wiped out by the aftermath of their battle, and the Xianzhou barely lost any fighting power at all!"

"Hmph, I only learned about it later. That pathetic Mok Tok thought the Xianzhou was weak after the war and rushed straight in. Probably didn't even see Hoolay's face before he was crushed like a bug!"

When they talked about that previous operation, the faces of the Borisin darkened.

After all, many of their own had died in that operation.

They had waited to receive Hoolay, only to be encircled and hunted by the Xianzhou instead , a great humiliation!

'Mok Tok, you brat! How dare you bring me such shame!'

"So, if we're going to take action against the Xianzhou, it's best to find a way to avoid that godlike beast, or start attacking from the inside…"

...

While the Borisin hunting group was still discussing their next move, in Luofu, at the Vidyadhara Preceptors' hall, the already gloomy hall looked even more like a haunted house under the sullen faces of the Preceptors.

"The Scalegorge Waterscape probably won't return."

After a long silence, one Preceptor finally broke the atmosphere.

"Yes, even before the giant beast could slaughter Emanator, and now it has received the blessing of three Aeons, its power boundless. With just us, reclaiming the Scalegorge Waterscape is impossible."

Ordinary short-lived species could form obsessions in just a few decades, obsessions deep enough to move sky and earth, let alone the Vidyadhara Preceptors, who placed utmost importance on order and rules.

When the Vidyadhara High Elder was still present, the power of the Vidyadhara Preceptors was suppressed to almost nothing.

They had barely waited for the great mountain on their heads to move away, believing future Vidyadhara High Elders would be easy to manipulate as they wished, only for an even greater mountain to fall from the sky.

And this mountain was several times harder, heavier, and far more active than the previous one.

After all that, the hope in the Vidyadhara Preceptors' eyes had nearly turned to ash, completely dissipating.

But they were unwilling to accept it.

For hundreds of years, even thousands of years, all their decrees had been restrained by the previous Vidyadhara High Elder's.

Even if the Preceptors wanted to forcefully implement something, the overwhelming strength of the High Elder meant they had to swallow their words.

Strength decides everything.

And the Vidyadhara High Elder is the strongest representative of the Vidyadhara.

As for a mere Preceptor, if they are sensible, they might gain some benefits, but if they are not… hehe, the Vidyadhara's ability of reincarnation will be put to good use again!

But they really are unwilling, it shouldn't be like this, it simply shouldn't be like this!

"But what use is unwillingness? The Vidyadhara from other Xianzhou won't help us. If we make a move, they'll probably be the first to suppress us." A Preceptor sneered.

Just as he said, the Vidyadhara of other Xianzhou would not watch them cause trouble, affecting the friendship between the Xianzhou and Godzilla.

For this mighty being, who is firmly seated just below the Aeons, what does the trifling Luofu Vidyadhara's interest matter?

They wouldn't mind sacrificing their own interests for it!

In fact, many Vidyadhara of other Xianzhou think this way. Some even went so far as to angrily curse the Luofu Vidyadhara Preceptors.

After the fall of the Aeon of Permanence, the Vidyadhara's power declined. Now, at such a critical moment, when a powerful Emanator-level figure appeared, shouldn't they rush to offer benefits and establish connections, to strengthen the Vidyadhara's voice?

But what did you do? Are all the Vidyadhara of Luofu rebels against the Xianzhou?

This opinion was accepted by more and more Vidyadhara after Godzilla attracted the attention of the Amber King and The Joy Seeker.

They glared angrily at the Luofu Vidyadhara. Such a powerful backer, and you don't protect it? Do you really think the Vidyadhara are invincible in the world?

Don't you know how many Xianzhou citizens are eyeing the Vidyadhara?

If it weren't for the alliance with the Xianzhou and the Foxians, the Vidyadhara alone might have had their threshold broken by those ferocious enemies!

"If we can't solve it internally, then we seek outside help!"

"Easier said than done. Ordinary forces don't even have the ability to infiltrate the Xianzhou. Even if they do, so what? Any power that can sneak into the Xianzhou is insignificant. How can they deal with that giant beast?"

"We don't need to deal with that giant beast. Its strength is beyond what we can handle."

The Preceptor who proposed this shook his head, speaking ambiguously.

Seeing his reaction, another Preceptor realized something.

"You mean…?"

"Jing Yuan, he's about eight hundred years old, right? Eight hundred, the age when the Mara most often erupts among Xianzhou people. The Ten-Lords Commission keeps a close eye on Xianzhou people of that age."

...

Alchemic Commission.

"That's how it is. I wanted to melt down that sword, but Grandpa wouldn't let me, even ordered the Artisanship Commission to guard me strictly, clearly not wanting me anywhere near it."

Yunli crossed her arms, sighing.

But as everyone knows, children are naturally stubborn, the more you forbid them from doing something, the more they want to do it. Especially someone like Yunli, who has already taken the forging of the demonic sword as her life's obsession.

A few scoldings from Grandpa? That's nothing compared to melting down the demonic sword!

"Uh… then maybe you should… talk to the general about it, don't you think?"

After hearing Yunli's story, Yanqing scratched his head.

After spending time with her, he knew Yunli wasn't entirely unreasonable, just a spoiled child at worst. Cases like this weren't uncommon in the Luofu; in his years of chivalry, he had seen many.

But someone so stubborn about melting down a sword, this was a first for him.

Lingsha also said: "Indeed, the general must have his reasons. Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. If you talk it out, perhaps it can be resolved?"

"Hmph, misunderstanding or not, a demonic sword is still a demonic sword, a thing that brings only harm. When I get the chance, I'll deal with it, no matter what!"

Yanqing and Lingsha exchanged glances, shaking their heads helplessly.

The hunt for the demonic sword was undoubtedly Yunli's top priority. Even during her usual duels with Yanqing, she was never this stubborn; she'd always say she'd win after improving her swordsmanship.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, you two. I didn't expect Yunli to react like this after bringing her here."

March 7th stood aside like a child who had done something wrong, hands twisted together, laughing awkwardly.

Bailu sat on a chair, holding a bottle of hot floating goat milk, sipping slowly as she watched.

She had already tried persuading Yunli earlier, but clearly, Yunli had made up her mind, she wouldn't budge.

"No one can be blamed for this." Lingsha slightly shook her head.

She had some inkling of General Huaiyan's intentions, but when someone develops an obsession, even the most mature person can become rash and immature, let alone someone of Yunli's age.

All she could do was comfort Yunli, wait for General Huaiyan to come, and have a proper talk with her to clear up the misunderstanding.

As she thought about this, she suddenly noticed someone entering through the door.

Judging by the attire, it was someone from the Realm-Keeping Commission.

"I am Dahao, an executive officer of the Realm-Keeping Commission. There's a case that requires Miss Yunli's cooperation."

"Huh? A case? What case?"

Hearing Dahao's words, Yunli looked puzzled.

The Xianzhou doesn't punish people for mere words, right? Sure, she often shouted about sneaking into the Artisanship Commission to steal that demonic sword, but she hadn't actually done it yet.

Was the Luofu Realm-Keeping Commission's response really this fast?

"It's about the treasured sword from the recent sword-returning ceremony. It has been stolen…"

"What?!"

...

At the Cloudford Harbor, a handsome figure stood tall, gazing at the Jade Gate.

"Hehe, they must be running around in a panic by now, Knight."

Suddenly, an elderly voice rang out.

Fortunately, there was no one else beside Argenti, or ordinary folks might have thought they'd encountered a ghost in broad daylight, leading to yet another rumor about a knightly ghost haunting the Luofu.

Hearing Guyun's voice, Argenti smiled.

"Even though I wasn't there in person, I assume they've already discovered that you… are not in the sword case."

"Is it really okay? I'm afraid this might implicate you. How about you just send me back? Think of more ways, I think I can still escape the fate of slaughter." Guyun said.

Hearing Guyun's words, Argenti's expression turned serious: "The moment I promised you, I feared no difficulties or obstacles. As a Knight of Pure Beauty, I walk in pursuit of Idrila's footsteps, fulfilling the journey, how could I retreat because of a little difficulty? Since your homeland is not the home you desire, as the one who took you to Luofu, I must see to it that you are satisfied."

"By Idrila above, I shall walk the path of pure beauty and find a suitable dwelling for Guyun."

"Hehe, your attitude reminds me of someone I knew. That guy was also stubborn to an absurd degree. If only he had known how to be flexible, he wouldn't have lived such a bitter life."

Guyun seemed to be sighing, as if reminiscing.

How could one remember every single detail of the past?

Even as the Demon Sword, it was impossible. Yet, in his's life, there were always fragments that left a deep impression.

Sensing the will emanating from Guyun, Argenti remained silent.

After a long while, he spoke.

"I once asked the people of Kalevala and Mr. Paavo, trying to find the true name of that Cloud Knight soldier, but no one knew. You stood alongside that hero through those times, you should know, right?"

"Hehe, his name, it shouldn't be for me to speak. That era has already been buried."

One man and one sword gazed at the ever-moving Stars and the dazzling, radiant Jade Gate, both silent.

"Found you! Quickly, return the sword!"

After an unknown amount of time, hurried footsteps came from behind, followed by a girl's sharp shout.

...

Divination Commission.

"Old Yan isn't having a good day today." Stretching lazily, Feixiao chuckled.

"Well, kids grow up after all, there'll always be some mischievous acts." Jing Yuan laughed.

"True enough. Speaking of which, has little Yanqing ever been mischievous?" Feixiao asked curiously.

She had wandered around Luofu quite a bit recently and met many people.

From what they said, Yanqing was always like a little adult, which made her very curious about what he was like in private.

Adults always loved hearing about obedient children's embarrassing moments, especially when teasing them about it, that was the most fun!

"Yanqing, huh..." Hearing this, Jing Yuan began to reminisce.

"As for Yanqing, he doesn't have much of that kind of behavior, but he loves swords. Whenever a good sword comes out, he always buys one or two. Most of his salary goes to buying swords.

Often, after buying swords and doing the math, he can't even make it to the end of the month.

Many times at the end of the month, when I open the door, I see Yanqing standing there, and then I know, I'll have to feed him for a few days again."

"Haha, that always-mature little brat actually had experiences like that."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Feixiao burst out laughing.

Who told Yanqing to act like an adult all the time? It was rare to hear something funny about him, so she had to laugh it up.

After laughing, Feixiao clutched her stomach and stopped, her eyes landing on Jing Yuan's arrangement on the chessboard.

"Speaking of which, I heard recently that the Cloud Knights of Luofu has been searching everywhere for the traces of the Borisin, causing them a lot of trouble. Does the general have any leads?" Feixiao asked.

"Of course, since the Martial Exhibition is approaching, if those pests cause trouble, wouldn't that be unpleasant? Besides, after that previous incident with Hoolay's escape, it's only natural for me to stay vigilant."

"Heh, easy for you to say, but who was it that deliberately lured those Borisin in?"

"What are you saying, General Feixiao? Weren't you and General Yan also present that day? If we're talking about responsibility, you two were closer to it."

"Alright, alright, I can't outtalk you." Shaking her head, Feixiao didn't continue arguing with Jing Yuan on that point.

After all, as a general whose main focus was on fighting, how could she outtalk someone like Jing Yuan, known as the Divine Foresight General?

As for martial strength...

Hmph, Jing Yuan was an old veteran of eight hundred years; as the younger Vanquishing General, how could she bully an old man?

Beating up the elderly is a serious crime on the Xianzhou!

After some banter, Feixiao analyzed, "The Borisin just took a heavy loss, and what we did can't be hidden from them. Using the old approach won't work anymore."

"General Feixiao speaks my thoughts, so if we can't act from the outside, then someone must act from within!"

"I wonder, does the Vanquishing General remember how many years the war between the Alliance and the Borisin has lasted?"
