What appeared before Guinaifen and all the viewers in the livestream was a space station floating in the vastness of space.
The space station was massive and highly advanced.
It hovered above a deep blue planet.
As a melodious canon played, faint shadows began to appear around the space station, one after another.
These shadows were clearly not human—their bodies seemed to be supported by armor, and their weapons were brimming with antimatter particles.
With just one glance, Guinaifen recognized what these eerie things were.
"The Antimatter Legion!"
Her homeland had been destroyed by the Antimatter Legion!
She was all too familiar with these inhuman creatures.
Recalling the painful memories of the past, she clenched her fists tightly.
Was this space station destined to meet the same fate as her homeland, utterly destroyed by these monsters?
Inside the space station.
The staff were thrown into chaos by the sudden attack.
With the help of security personnel, they began to evacuate.
Every electronic screen flashed with red warnings, and the tense atmosphere was palpable.
Amidst this critical moment.
A woman in a long coat stood there, unhurriedly swaying and dancing.
Though she held no instrument.
She gave off the impression.
That she was playing an invisible violin, completely immersed in her own performance.
This starkly contrasted with the chaos around her!
Her sensual red lips curled into a slight smile.
As if the chaos brought her a sense of pleasure!
With a 360-degree close-up.
The woman's face was revealed to everyone.
Guinaifen took a deep breath to calm herself.
She adjusted the camera angle.
To better showcase the game's content in the livestream.
"Everyone, do you see this?"
"The graphics in this game are so realistic!"
"If you didn't tell me it was a game, I'd think it was a real-life recording!"
"Let Xiao Guizi explain a bit."
"These non-human creatures in the scene are the Antimatter Legion. They are the embodiment of the [Destruction]'s will, also known as the [Voidrangers]."
"Their goal is to destroy all civilizations and life!"
"The Antimatter Legion? Countless civilizations in the universe have been destroyed by them!"
"This game starts with such a grand scene!"
"Thankfully, our Xianzhou is as solid as a rock. We don't have to worry about attacks from these monsters."
"That woman looks familiar..."
The opening CG had successfully captured the attention of Guinaifen and the livestream viewers.
Tatsuke watched all of this unfold.
Was just the beginning!
The real bombshell was yet to come!
An explosion suddenly occurred where the woman in the coat was standing.
The emergency red lights flickered.
Interrupting her self-indulgent performance.
"It seems I've arrived at an inconvenient time," the woman spoke.
Her voice was husky yet magnetic.
A silver-white emblem appeared on the screen in front of her.
It resembled the outline of a wolf.
A young girl's voice came through the screen.
"No, I think you've arrived just in time."
Officially transitioning into the game's content.
The young girl's voice continued from the screen: "System time, 23:47:15. You're very punctual, Kafka."
"Kafka? That name sounds familiar..."
Guinaifen tapped her head.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Wait, isn't she that infamous criminal with a sky-high bounty from the Interastral Peace Corporation...?!"
When this name was revealed.
"I knew that woman looked familiar! It's Kafka!"
"That's the dangerous criminal with a bounty of 10.899 billion credits!"
"Oh my god! Is this game for real?"
"Where can I download this game?"
"What's the game called!"
The Antimatter Legion, the Stellaron Hunters...
It was clear that Honkai: Star Rail had opened with a bombshell.
Guinaifen was completely stunned.
She had never heard of a game.
That dared to feature two of the most dangerous groups in the galaxy right from the start.
Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
Seeing the livestream's popularity skyrocketing.
She tapped on the dialogue box on the screen to continue.
"Elio foresaw this future without error. What about the explosion just now? Was that part of his [script] too?"
"Yes. [System time 23:44:59, the explosion's pulse caused a large-scale paralysis of the main control system.]"
"The Antimatter Legion did it. They launched a full-scale invasion of the space station two system hours ago."
"Do we need to engage with the Legion?"
"Unknown. Elio didn't mention it, so it's not important."
"Understood~" Kafka whistled. "From now on, I'll take charge of the operation."
Anyone who could speak to Kafka was undoubtedly another member of the Stellaron Hunters!
This dialogue was utterly shocking!
It felt like accidentally eavesdropping on a conversation between terrorists.
How could it not send chills down your spine?
And from the way Kafka and the unknown entity were talking.
It seemed like they were about to stir up some trouble!
It was hard to imagine!
What would become of this space station with the combined onslaught of the Antimatter Legion and the Stellaron Hunters!?
