Honkai Star Rail: Developing Mobile Games on Xianzhou

Chapter 38: Chapter 37: Igniting Passion, As the Drumbeats Sound



The accompaniment began!

Drumbeats entered rhythmically!

Perfectly synchronizing with the scene, they evoked a sense of destiny, imbuing it with divine solemnity.

Stelle gripped the spear tightly.

"Buzz!"

For a fleeting moment, it felt like a heavy hammer struck, flashing through her mind.

Breathing heavily, she displayed a look of surprise, as if burned by something.

Without hesitation, she lunged forward.

With a firm grasp on the spear handle, flames swirled around her like a fiery tornado.

Layers of ice crystals enveloped the tip, seemingly intent on burying both the weapon and its wielder.

"Ahhhhh!" She cried out forcefully.

The ice crystals shattered like mirrors breaking apart.

A massive pillar of fire soared towards the sky!

Suddenly, a majestic figure, akin to a celestial body, briefly appeared on the screen.

In her left hand, she wielded a massive hammer akin to a volcanic peak.

The Aeon of Preservation—the Amber King!

Instantly upon seeing this figure, everyone's minds echoed with that name.

Among the viewers were high-ranking executives from various companies, whose emotions grew even more complex at this sight.

Their corporation, always devoted to the Amber King, had become the largest economic entity in the universe. Yet despite their remarkable achievements, they struggled to garner his attention.

On the other hand, it was this Trailblazer who caught the gaze of Nanook, the Aeon associated with Destruction, during the battle against the Doomsday Beast.

And now, once again, a similar scene unfolded with an identical stroke of fortune!

This time, the Aeon involved was Qlipoth!

Remarkably, as soon as Qlipoth touched the gunstock, Stelle struck with her hammer, ushering in the new Amber Era! It felt almost like divine endorsement!

Holding the blazing riding spear, Stelle descended from the sky.

White steam billowed around her sides.

Instead of attacking, the Creation Engine reached out protectively, catching Stelle as if deeply concerned for her safety from any potential harm!

What was once a fierce guardian now resembled a timid newlywed, a stark contrast from its indiscriminate assaults under Cocolia's command!

No, not just a stark contrast—it was practically two different machines!

Under the astonished yet delighted gazes of her teammates, Stelle herself seemed aware of this transformation and wore a knowing smile.

Her expression then turned resolute.

She raised her right hand, pointing the tip of her weapon at Cocolia in mid-air!

The scene froze—time for the final showdown!

"Wahh..." Unexpectedly, Guinaifen burst into tears.

Wiping away her sobs, she continued battling, barely able to see through the blur on the screen. She couldn't explain why she was crying; perhaps it was due to awe or sheer emotion.

This eruption following the descent of hope felt like a volcanic explosion, overwhelming all other feelings.

As this unfolded, the background music intensified, its drumbeats becoming more rapid and forceful.

"This..."

"It can't be..." A hint of panic crept into Cocolia's usually cold voice.

"The will of Preservation has already made its choice..."

Cocolia persisted, her tone growing increasingly frantic, "You know nothing of this world's plight... Nothing about the fate awaiting it!"

"An entirely new future!" The Frost Ring began charging, locking onto March 7th within the team.

[Team member locked. Please use Stelle's Skill.]

[New Skill can taunt enemies, drawing Cocolia's attacks.]

At that moment, Stelle's weapon transformed from a baseball bat into a riding spear engulfed in flames.

Guinaifen noticed the game prompt as well.

But at that moment, she paid no attention to this tutorial prompt.

With her eyes glowing red, Guinaifen exclaimed, "I don't even want to fight anymore! I just... Aaahh, this music is unbelievably intense!"

The viewers finally found the chance to express their feelings in the chat.

"What kind of music is this? My ears feel like they're about to explode!"

"The drumbeats are pounding straight into my heart!"

"It's just a turn-based game! Why does it feel more intense than any other games I've played before?"

"Suddenly, the office floor transformed into Everwinter Hill's snowy landscape, and my pen became a shield and flame spear!"

"Holy shit, this is insane!"

"This fucking rocks so hard!"

"All for the Amber King!"

Suddenly,

The flame spear in Stelle's hand emitted a crisp "clang," as if activating something instantly.

In the air,

the face of the Creation Engine flashed with a red glow.

As though receiving a command, it raised its massive fist.

Not aiming at the protagonist, but directly towards Cocolia!

[The Creation Engine has been activated. Utilize it to destroy the Lance of Endless Winter.]

"BOOM!"

The iron fist descended from above, shattering countless chunks of ice and snow.

With its high Fire attribute damage, it effortlessly broke through both of Cocolia's creations!

"What just happened...?" Guinaifen muttered, nearly forgetting she was live-streaming.

"How did I suddenly gain control over the Creation Engine?!

"And it seems even more powerful than when Cocolia used it before!"

"With this battle hymn echoing, my strength spans across the entire universe!"

Although the previous protagonist had been associated with Destruction, they felt somewhat fragile in practice.

Now, having acquired the Destiny of Preservation, activating their Skill rendered March 7th's once-painful frost attacks completely ineffective against the team members!

They didn't even need her shield anymore!

Holding the flame spear as if it were a protective barrier seemed to ward off everything.

"This feels incredibly secure!"

"Next..."

"Let's try the Preservation ultimate ability!"

The energy is fully charged.

Guinaifen taps on the fiery red icon representing the flame spear, filled with excitement and anticipation!
