What if your Honkai Star Rail was like this?

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Acheron vs Sunday

Seeing Stelle’s puzzled face, Black Swan patiently explained to her: ”You see, Miss Sparkle’s hand looks like it’s playing scissors, but actually, as long as you change the angle, you’ll find it turns from scissors into paper.”

Stelle was horrified: ”You can play like that? No, what’s wrong with you as the referee? Isn’t this cheating?”

Black Swan unhurriedly took the credit points Sparkle handed over, then said righteously: ”If there’s no evidence, please don’t slander me, otherwise I’ll sue you for defamation.”

Stelle was furious: ”You...”

”Aiya, alright alright, a bet’s a bet.”

Sparkle unceremoniously put the mask on Stelle’s face and said smugly: ”Don’t underestimate the art of game theory in rock-paper-scissors!”

”Bribing the referee is also part of my plan!”

Snap!

Sparkle snapped her fingers, and the mask quickly transformed into a lifelike human face, while Stelle’s body also changed accordingly. In no time, a brand new ”Gallagher” was born.

”Whoa, this feeling is pretty amazing.”

Stelle examined her new body, jumped in place twice, then curiously lifted her clothes, her eyes lighting up: ”Oh oh oh! I have abs now yay!”

Gallagher: ”She won’t do something weird with my body, will she?”

Robin cleared her throat lightly and said: ”Stelle, how does it feel? If you’re adapted, then next, Mr. Gallagher will impart his many years of experience to you.”

Stelle (in Gallagher’s appearance) blinked her eyes and made an OK hand gesture.

...

”Come out! Rai!”

”Third Day, Triple In the Beginning There Was Action!”

Rumble rumble—

[”Dominicus” dealt 100 damage to Rai, Rai has fallen.]

”Come out! Reo!”

”Fourth Day, Quadruple In the Beginning There Was Action!”

[”Dominicus” dealt 1000 damage to Reo, Reo has fallen.]

”...”

”Huff—huff—”

Acheron gasped for air heavily, her face grave as she looked at Dominicus in front of her. Although it wasn’t her fighting just now, it was still so tiring.

In this short period of time, she had already summoned ninety-nine summons. If this continued, her army of summons would eventually be exhausted.

The main issue was that her vocabulary was insufficient; she couldn’t find anything else related to ”thunder.”

”Sunday! I will fight you until the last moment!!”

Acheron shouted loudly: ”Come out, this is my last summon!”

”Dream Thunder (Tear)!”

Rumble rumble—

As Acheron’s words fell, thunder suddenly boomed in the sky, and a slender figure emerged from the dark clouds, accompanied by a majestic and holy BGM:

—”Emiya, Lonsheguan de ode song ya oh~ (from synesthesia beacon translation)”

Seeing this person, even with Sunday’s seasoned mindset that had seen great storms, he couldn’t help but be slightly moved, ”Such pressure... Could it be that you can already summon otherworldly great beings across dimensions?”

Acheron smiled faintly: ”Correct.”

She had learned this person’s name by chance. It was said that this person practiced a supreme art of stealthy theft, extremely bizarre. Right now, perhaps only he could barely contend with Sunday.

Sunday looked at that slender figure and snorted coldly: ”Even so, in this Ena’s Dream, the two of you joining hands may not be my opponent.”

”It’s just futile resistance.”

However, the young man in the air smiled indifferently, gripped his hands, and a pair of dual blades appeared in them. His body turned blue at a visible speed: ”What about this?”

Sunday was slightly stunned: ”Ultimate XX? Hmph, if you dare to invade, I will make you suffer a crushing defeat!”

Youth: ”Hah—”

(Both sides fought for three hundred rounds, battling until the Great Dao was worn away.)

Boom—

Dominicus’s massive body retreated a few steps, and Sunday within it felt a wave of fatigue, frowning slightly.

In his perception, this blue warrior’s strength wasn’t particularly strong, but the only bizarre point was that every time his destructive attack landed on the opponent, it would be nullified by an invisible force, saving this blue swordsman who knows how many lives.

What ability is this?

”...Hmph, as expected, to deal with a gimmick monster, you still need to rely on a gimmick monster.” Acheron placed her hands on her waist and laughed: ”How’s my memory spirit? As long as there’s a famous blade in hand, it will absolutely not fail.”

Sunday: ”Famous blade?”

Acheron was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly covered her mouth: ”Oops, accidentally said it out...”

Sunday’s gaze refocused on the blue youth. Under his careful observation, he indeed discovered that this guy had a small blue knife tucked at his waist.

Because the color of this small knife was similar to the youth’s skin tone, it had caused him to overlook this point before.

”Is it that thing that helped you nullify fatal damage?”

The blue youth swung his blade again: ”Zongyi er ge~”

Sunday sneered, Dominicus’s large hand grabbed, easily holding the blue youth in its grasp. Then, he precisely removed the small knife from the latter’s body.

”Ah—”

The blue youth let out a miserable scream. Under Dominicus’s attack, red hit effects continuously flashed on his body, and finally, he powerlessly fell to the ground, turning into a puff of white smoke and dissipating.

Dominicus turned around again, its cold gaze locking onto Acheron: ”Do you have any more tricks?”

”You...!”

Seeing her memory spirit brushed off like a wild mob by the opponent, Acheron immediately reached out toward the sky again: ”Come out, Thunder...”

”...”

After several seconds of silence, no summon appeared. The reason was simple: Acheron’s knowledge reserve was already severely insufficient.

In her mind, everything related to the word ”thunder” had been summoned once by her. At this moment, she no longer had an object to borrow power from.

”Oh? Can’t think of any more words?”

Sunday’s voice carried mockery, ”So, does that mean your attack is over?”

”Next, it’s my turn. No objections, right?”

”Wait!”

Acheron reached out her hand, ”Who said I’m done? I still have one last move. If you can still defeat it, then I’ll surrender!”

Hearing this, a trace of curiosity surged in Sunday’s heart, and he said with interest: ”Oh? In that case, summon it. I’m quite curious what threat a word you just came up with can pose to me.”

”Hmph, rest assured, it absolutely won’t disappoint you.”

Acheron had once heard a scholar’s ”parallel universe theory.”

The general idea of that theory was: There are countless similar but different universes in this world, and each of us is very likely to have a ”counterpart” in another universe.

If this theory holds, then Acheron was certain that her next operation had a high probability of succeeding in stalling Dominicus for a while longer.

”Come on... You have to give it some effort!”

Rumble rumble—

The sky was covered in dark clouds, thunder rumbling faintly. At this moment, it seemed as if a gale blew in the sky, raindrops falling.

”This is the last move.” Acheron raised her hand again: ”Come out, Raiden... Mei!”
