Chapter 8 The Belated System
Seeing this, Lin Qiong clenched his fists, even though he knew that in the story, the protagonist would definitely help March 7 block this attack.
But at this moment, his own body was also one of the main characters, which made him unsure whether he should be the one to block this attack.
Just as Lin Qiong hesitated, Xing, who was closest to March 7, stepped forward and spread her arms to block March 7.
At this moment, March 7th's mind went blank, and he stared blankly at the star blocking his way.
The terror instilled by that destructive ray rendered her unable to move.
Seeing this, Lin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and pulled back the leg that had taken a step forward.
Seeing that the star had blocked the ray, he no longer needed to worry about what would happen next.
The ray, filled with destructive energy, left a shallow mark on the ground even though it didn't touch it.
This also proves that the power of this ray is extremely great.
The ray struck Xing directly, but she was not engulfed by the powerful ray and turned to ashes.
Instead, a dazzling golden light surged from within her body.
A powerful energy formed on Xing's chest, countering the destructive beam of light shot out by the Doomsday Beast.
Xing lost consciousness the instant he blocked the beam of light.
When she came to her senses, she found herself floating in a strange space.
A gigantic, indistinct figure loomed over him from the air.
At the same time, a voice of indistinct gender echoed in my mind, speaking:
"It's time to set off..."
At this moment, Xing was about to ask who was speaking.
But she found that no matter what she did, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
"To reach that destination..."
"Reach that ending through your own will..."
A flood of chaotic memories suddenly rushed into Xing's mind.
A planet covered in ice and snow, a colossal spaceship steeped in history, a city born from a dream...
As a flood of memories overwhelmed her, the intense pain rendered her unable to think.
Xing felt as if her head was about to explode.
"He has noticed you..."
As the voice appeared in his mind, the enormous figure above revealed its true form.
He had long, silver-white hair, deep blackish-brown skin, a huge golden wound on his chest, and a severed arm floating to the side.
He opened his golden eyes and coldly glanced at the star that had floated in front of him.
In an instant, Xing felt a sense of disorientation, and then withdrew from this strange space.
As soon as Xing regained consciousness, she felt like her chest was about to explode.
The "star core" inside the star erupted with a powerful energy, creating a shockwave.
Caught off guard, the Doomsday Beast was pushed off the platform by the shockwave and fell out of the Black Tower Space Station.
The space around the Doomsday Beast that fell out of the space station suddenly began to distort.
A powerful gravitational force rendered the Doomsday Beast, which wanted to spread its wings and fly back, unable to move.
Finally, gravity created a black hole that sucked the Doomsday Beast inside.
At the same time, the energy of the star core inside the star on the platform continues to rise.
Xing's entire body was lifted into the air by this energy, and the energy shockwaves that spread out forced Himeko and the others to retreat repeatedly.
Just as the energy in the star's core was about to reach the threshold and explode, the stellar core within the star was about to explode.
A cane pierced through the raging energy and gently tapped Xing's forehead.
Xing lost consciousness from the sudden blow of the cane, and the star core within her body calmed down as a result.
Xing slowly descended from the sky, and March 7th quickly stepped forward to catch it.
The man holding the cane, adjusting his glasses, landed steadily on the ground as a train slowly approached behind him.
On March 7th, looking anxiously at the man holding a cane in front of him, he said:
"Uncle Yang! She....."
"It's all over now, let's find somewhere else to talk."
The man called Uncle Yang interrupted March 7, who was about to say something, and pointed to the train behind him.
Just as the man known as Uncle Yang stopped the Star Core Essence from self-destructing.
A mechanical and cold voice echoed in Lin Qiong's mind.
"Ding! Detection indicates that the protagonist of this world has embarked on their destiny and become a Fate Walker. Initiating system binding for the host..."
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Qiong immediately remembered that he was a transmigrator, and aside from being pitifully weak after transmigrating, he was still a transmigrator.
Surprisingly, the system didn't even give me one, but I forgot about it at the time because I was recalling the subsequent plot.
I only remembered it now that the system notification sounded, and the good news is that the system was given to me before I boarded the Star Train.
Then I won't be unable to join the main characters on pioneering missions because I lack combat power.
While waiting for the system to bind to him, Lin Qiong began to look forward to what kind of system he would get.
Is it a gacha game, a daily login event, or a summoning of a character to possess you? Thinking about this, Lin Qiong began to fantasize about conquering the world.
It's as if I can see myself punching the commander, kicking the star god, catching an insect as a mount, and then dragging Aha off to play with as a pleasurable star god.
"Ding, system binding complete. Welcome to the Starry Sky Resonance System."
The system's cold, mechanical voice rang in Lin Qiong's mind, but at this moment, Lin Qiong felt that the voice was so kind and warm.
An excited Lin Qiong mentally asked the system, "System! Can you tell me what functions this system has?"
"Of course, host. The function of this system is to share and use the destiny abilities that the protagonist has unlocked in the Starry Sky Railway world."
After listening to the system's explanation, Lin Qiong was stunned. Using the abilities of the protagonist of Starry Sky Railway—shouldn't those be abilities originally belonging to this body? What's the use of this?
"This system is so useless, can you give me a different one?" Lin Qiong hurriedly tried to communicate with the system.
While the protagonist of Star Railway's abilities cannot be described as weak, they are clearly insufficient in a world where star gods are everywhere and messengers are as common as dogs.
"I'm sorry, host, once the system is bound, it cannot be returned or exchanged. I hope you have fun in this world."
The system's cold, mechanical voice was like a bucket of cold water, chilling Lin Qiong to the bone.
"Doesn't this system have any other functions? I don't need anything that can make you instantly stronger, just something like gacha or daily check-ins would be fine!"
Lin Qiong immediately pressed the system for more information.
"..."
But the system's cold, mechanical voice did not sound again.
"System? Are you still there? Hey! System!"
Lin Qiong kept calling out to the system in his mind, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, and he received no response.
After failing to get a response from the system after several attempts, Lin Qiong had no choice but to accept the system as it was his fate.
As soon as Lin Qiong accepted the system, his consciousness returned to reality.
Just then, they witnessed Walter Young standing to the side, leaning on his cane, catching a star falling from the sky on March 7th.
Upon seeing Walter Yang, Lin Qiong, who had been feeling disappointed that the system he had acquired wasn't very strong, suddenly became interested.
He recalled seeing videos of persecution against Lao Yang that he had frequently come across.
Then the idea of teasing Old Yang came to mind.
Just as Lin Qiong was still thinking about how to persecute Lao Yang,
March 7th's voice came from not far away, interrupting Lin Qiong who was deep in thought:
"Qiong! What are you all standing there for? Everyone's on the bus, come on!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong looked toward the source of the sound and saw March 7 standing next to the car door waving at him.
"coming!"
Lin Qiong responded and immediately jogged over, boarding the Starry Sky Train with March 7th.
