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

"Jing Yuan, do you already know who attacked Dan Heng? Have they been caught?"

March 7th looked at Jing Yuan with anticipation.

"I have a clue about the attacker. But that person is elusive, and their strength is beyond what ordinary Cloud Knights can handle. Capturing them may take more time."

"I see. Make sure to let me know if there's any news! I want that guy to understand there's a price to pay for messing with someone from the Astral Express!"

"Alright, Dan Heng needs to rest. Let's go. Cramming too many people in the ward won't help recovery."

"You're no fun, Uncle Welt."

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

Before long, only Dan Heng, lying on the bed, and Jing Yuan, sitting on a stool peeling an apple, were left in the hospital room.

For mature adults, recognizing that an upcoming conversation is inevitable is second nature, so Welt led the others away, leaving space for the two of them.

Obviously, both already had answers about the attacker.

Crunch.

Jing Yuan took a bite of the apple, and the crisp sound of the flesh separating echoed clearly in the quiet room that now held only two people.

Dan Heng silently withdrew the hand he was about to raise.

In the peaceful room, the two men looked at each other.

"Just like I said, while I can revoke your sentence, there are still many stubborn people on the Luofu. Some can't let go of the past—but seeing how you are now, you probably won't face too much trouble when you run into them."

Both knew exactly who they were talking about.

Blade, Stellaron Hunter, former member of the High-Cloud Quintet—all these titles referred to one man.

However, rather than Blade, who was now a Stellaron Hunter, they were more concerned with another figure who had suddenly entered the game.

"That person looked familiar," Dan Heng said.

"Yeah, familiar," Jing Yuan sighed. If only it had stopped at being familiar.

"Forget it, the Xianzhou will take care of it. By the way, did you notice that kid?"

"Mm."

Dan Heng nodded. He knew who Jing Yuan meant.

That Vidyadhara girl who trained her tail with dumbbells—wait, was this some new training method developed by the Vidyadhara? What was its purpose?

The Vidyadhara's tails, while long, were only of average length. Let alone combat—many found everyday life inconvenient due to them. So when Bailu used her tail to curl around a dumbbell for training, it had really caught Dan Heng's attention.

After chatting a bit more, Jing Yuan left—he had many responsibilities as the general of the Luofu.

"Bailu." Dan Heng was deep in thought.

That little girl was the current High Elder of the Vidyadhara, but for certain reasons, she only possessed half the High Elder's power. And because she was still young, she was under strict supervision by the Preceptors .

To call it supervision was an understatement—it was more like restraint. Clearly, after a few instances where the High Elder acted independently, the Preceptors had developed new ideas about how power should be distributed.

To be precise, ever since the previous High Elder accepted the task of using the Vidyadhara ancestral land to suppress the Arbor, the Preceptors had been dissatisfied. Coupled with the earlier calamity of the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, they had begun exerting significant pressure.

Shaking his head, Dan Heng felt that he should help her a little if they met again in the future.

Aside from that...

Looking at the fruit basket that now only had a few pieces left, Dan Heng helplessly closed his eyes.

...

"That really scared me just now—I thought Dan Heng was going to die for real this time!"

Just as they left the Alchemy Commission, March 7th couldn't help but pat her chest, speaking with lingering fear. Then she looked at Bailu, who had run out with her.

"Is everyone on the Luofu that powerful? Otherwise, how could Dan Heng end up like that?"

March 7th clearly trusted Dan Heng's strength. And after chatting with Jing Yuan, she came to a conclusion even she didn't want to believe.

Dan Heng, this teammate of theirs, really had hidden powers!

Like during a losing fight, where when the main character group is in danger, one of the usually mysterious members suddenly steps up and yells something like "Fusion, Liberation!", with a background song and epic visuals.

Come to think of it, they had Stelle who even had Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, watching her, and a Stellaron inside her.

Dan Heng had hidden powers.

Thinking about all that... she, the third member of the trio, had been left out!

The sudden realization made March 7th freeze on the spot.

Bailu looked up at March 7th, who was stunned, then shook her head. She was already used to March 7's random behavior.

"The Xianzhou does have many hidden experts, but if you could just pull someone off the street and they were that powerful, things would be chaos. Also, judging by Dan Heng's wounds, the attacker likely calculated his recovery speed. It wasn't meant to be fatal—more like revenge?"

Bailu, used to all kinds of injuries, could guess the attacker's intent without even thinking.

"Yeah, based on what Dan Heng and Jing Yuan said, the Luofu isn't safe for him."

"Ugh, all this sneaky business—if they really wanted to fight, why not just come at him directly? Why ambush him? Hmph."

March 7th snorted in frustration, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Should we take Dan Heng back to the Express? Wouldn't it be safer than staying here?"

"Probably not necessary. Since the attacker didn't try to kill him, it means there won't be follow-up action. What Dan Heng really needs to watch out for are the Preceptors of the Vidyadhara."

Welt, drawing on his experience as the former leader of the organization, quickly pieced together the situation. 

Whether it was enemies or random madmen, none posed as much of a threat as the Preceptors . If they learned that the previous High Elder, the Imbibitor Lunae, had returned to the Luofu, the chaos would be unimaginable.

"Mm-hmm, I can confirm that. the Preceptors are always really stubborn about this kind of thing."

Bailu nodded with a serious expression.

"That's why I have to keep training—even if it kills me, I'm going to use this tail to knock some sense into them one day!"

Bailu's dream was still simple: it just required the occasional sacrifice of a Preceptor.

...

"Yo, what's this? You guys goin' to storm the Luofu General's Mansion or something?"

When Kafka and Blade returned to their base in the Luofu, Silver Wolf, who was still playing games at the base, glanced at them and immediately knew they must have encountered a formidable opponent.

Blade's appearance clearly indicated he had died once.

"Yeah, a very powerful character suddenly returned to the Luofu. Oh, not suddenly — she was always part of the script, it's just that the current script is a bit of a mess," Kafka chuckled, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic room.

Half-eaten chips, a bottle of Happy Tea with the cap lazily put on, and a lunch box on the table that clearly belonged to Silver Wolf — her legs were propped up on the coffee table, her whole demeanor exuding leisure.

"Silver Wolf."

"Hmm? What is it?" Just as the game ended, Silver Wolf turned her head in confusion, and then...

"Listen to me, keep an eye on Godzilla."

...

Jarilo.

This green planet was now unrestrainedly radiating its charm into the universe.

The most direct impression was that, with the IPC's help, the once-untamed primeval forest — where only a few had entered and emerged intact — had now been transformed into a perfect tourist resort.

And it still retained its most primitive flavor.

But this place was only a small part; the greater changes lay in urban development and constant technological upgrades.

By the way, due to Godzilla, all the dimensional rifts on Jarilo had disappeared, and except for the occasional wandering insect, the entire reconstruction site no longer faced any major threats.

"So why do I have to stay here and sign these stupid documents!"

After a burst of helpless rage, Seele still dejectedly resumed the signature motion she had just done.

"Well, you're the project leader after all, that's why."

Hearing Seele's outburst from outside the door, Natasha pushed it open with a smile, reminding Seele why she was sitting in that seat.

"Who knew that even after everything's set up I'd still have to sign this and that. If I had known, I would've stayed in my room doing the homework Bronya gave me — at least I could slack off by begging her."

Seele muttered, slightly tilting her head.

Seeing her like this, Natasha could only shake her head in resignation.

It was clear Bronya intended to cultivate Seele into someone capable of standing on her own — not only in combat, but also in dealing with the responsibilities expected of someone in a leadership role.
