What if your Honkai Star Rail was like this?

Chapter 415: Chapter 414: Infinity Equals Infinity

”How could this happen? Where did he appear? I’m heading back right now!”

”The Vortex of Genesis? Alright, I’ll be there immediately!”

Tribbie quickly hung up the call, grabbed Mydei’s slender wrist, and rushed into the Hundred Realms Gate. Before leaving, she only left behind these words: ”The Coreflame has been stolen. Mydei and I have to seal off the scene immediately. We can’t stay here!”

”Remember, Okhema’s fate is now in your hands!”

”······”

The two most useful people disappeared within five seconds, leaving only Stelle and the other three staring at each other and at the massive scale in the temple.

Oronyx: [”Hahahahaha! So even Okhema’s demigods are only at this level. They must have been stumped by my riddle, so they made up an excuse to run away. Do you think I can’t see through it? Hahahahaha······”]

Stelle and Phainon silently exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned their eyes toward Aglaea and Anaxa. As the only two adults among the four, they could only pin their hopes on these two.

Besides, Aglaea was a [Reason] demigod. She should be able to solve this, right?

”Tsk······”

Seeing the genuine and burning gazes directed at her, Aglaea said somewhat helplessly: ”Don’t look at me like that. If Oronyx’s riddle was an academic problem, even a hundred of them wouldn’t pose any difficulty for me.”

”But judging from past experience talking with Oronyx, this guy probably never intended to let us pass in the first place. Even I would find it difficult to solve a problem that fundamentally has no answer.”

Hearing this, Stelle and Phainon immediately showed disappointed expressions: I see······

”Tch. And you call yourself a [Reason] demigod······”

At this moment, Anaxa’s harsh mocking voice suddenly rang out. Upon hearing it, Aglaea reacted as if triggered and immediately retorted: ”Oh? What brilliant insight do you have? Do you have a solution?”

”A qualified warrior can face any scheme or plot,” Anaxa said calmly. ”Whether the opponent is a [Reason] bookworm or a cunning being like Zagreus, they can all be broken with pure force!”

”So my idea is, there’s no need to play along with some trial set by a Titan. We should just charge in and kill them!”

His voice carried undeniable confidence.

This was very much in line with his usual personality — after all, he had even charged at [Strife] Nikador with two swords in hand, let alone a childlike Oronyx.

”You want to kill Oronyx? Puhahahaha······”

To his surprise, Aglaea burst out laughing after hearing this: ”Ahahahaha······ Right, I almost forgot. Your brain is completely filled with Nikador. You don’t care about any of the other Titans at all.”

”If any Titan could be hunted in such a simple way, then the Flamechasing journey could have been solved by Lord Tribbie alone with a thousand people. Where would you even come in?”

Aglaea spread her hands toward the depths of the temple: ”But since you want to embarrass yourself, I won’t stop you. Go ahead and try. Let’s see if you have the ability.”

Oronyx also laughed at this moment: [”Hahahahaha. Overconfident human. I’ll give you a chance to challenge me!”]

With that, a thick stone door in the center of the temple automatically opened, revealing a dark path behind it.

Anaxa snorted coldly and walked forward alone.

·····

Some time later.

Anaxa walked out with an indignant expression, cursing as he went: ”hks! This kind of fighting style is a disgrace to warriors! A disgrace to Titans! A disgrace to Amphoreus!”

”No wonder no one has been able to take her down before······”

Seeing Anaxa return, Aglaea immediately mocked him: ”Ohhh, isn’t this our fastest and strongest Anaxa~? How did you become so pathetic after just a few minutes?”

Anaxa: ”hks!”

Stelle asked in confusion, ”Ah? What just happened? Teacher Anaxa, you couldn’t beat her? That’s normal, I guess. After all, she’s one of the twelve Titans who created the world. You’re just an ordinary person without that much power.”

Anaxa turned his head away, unwilling to respond to Stelle.

Seeing this, Phainon once again took on the role of explainer: ”Partner, actually Oronyx isn’t a Titan who excels at combat. She holds the divine power of [Time] and can rewind time.”

”Therefore, when Lord Tribbie tried to fight Oronyx directly in the past, she often faced a difficult situation — whenever Oronyx’s health dropped below a certain threshold, she would automatically use [Veil of Evernight] to restore herself to her initial state.”

Stelle: ”Sounds like you need a execute effect to counter her, huh?”

Phainon: ”I was joking. Even if you execute her, she can still revive.”

Stelle: ”Ohhh, so she has two lives?”

Phainon: ”It’s not two lives. Her time rewind skill has no built-in cooldown.”

Stelle: ”???”

She finally understood why Anaxa was cursing so much. Who wouldn’t be frustrated fighting an opponent like that?!

”Alright, alright. Let’s hurry up and solve the problem.”

Seemingly pleased to see Anaxa suffer a setback, Aglaea’s mood improved significantly. She touched her chin and stared at the scale in the air with great interest. ”As expected, a good mood can spark inspiration······ I have an idea.”

”The difficulty in balancing this scale lies in the fact that we can’t precisely measure the value of items. Even if the values on both pans are infinitely close, it’s useless as long as they aren’t exactly equal.”

”So instead of wasting brain cells trying to precisely calculate values to balance it, why not do the opposite and completely abandon the concept of ’precision’?”

Aglaea crossed her arms: ”The simplest method is to make ’infinity’ equal ’infinity’!”

”As long as the items placed on both ends of the scale have infinite value, the scale will naturally return to balance.”

Phainon thought for a moment: ”That······ seems to make sense? But the problem is, how are we supposed to produce something whose value even Talanton would consider infinite?”

”Well······” Aglaea said: ”I’m still thinking about that.”

She thought for a moment, then took out a luxurious Earth Beast pajama set from her pocket. ”This is the limited edition Earth Beast sleepwear I snatched from Mydei last time. I originally just wanted to make sure Anaxagoras couldn’t buy it, but I didn’t expect it to actually come in handy now.”

”What?!” Anaxa flew into a rage. ”Aglaea, you hks! What a waste of a treasure!”

”You have no vision at all!” Aglaea said nonchalantly. ”Cerces once said, ’The moment something has the highest value is after it becomes out of print.’ This pajama set is the same. It should be able to help us weigh down one side of the scale.”

Phainon: ”Eh? But Teacher Aglaea, I didn’t see that sentence in Cerces’s Quotations.”
