Inside a university dormitory.
Chen Yue was sitting in front of the computer, yawning slightly sleepily, looking at the motionless Star Rail train on the computer, expectant and anxious.
Today was the opening day of Mihoyo's latest work, "Honkai: Star Rail". For this day, he had arranged for someone to cover his classes in advance, and even got up early, just to grab a good UID as soon as possible.
It was said that the server would open at ten in the morning, but Mihoyo was never on time. Just as Chen Yue was waiting anxiously, a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the computer:
[Ding! Congratulations, you have been bound to the Myriad Realms Live Broadcast System, and the game you are experiencing will be broadcast to the countless worlds.]
"What kind of garbage advertisement..."
Before he could see the words on the pop-up window, Chen Yue directly closed it. At the same time, After waiting for a long time, the train on his computer finally started moving.
"Finally, the server is open!"
"Honkai: Star Rail, start!"
...
For a time, a huge light curtain appeared in the sky above all the countless worlds.
~Demon Slayer World~
The moonlight was mottled, shining through the wooden window and reflecting the man's blood-red pupils and slightly pale skin, cast on the gray-green floor of the laboratory. The surroundings were quiet, only the subtle collision sounds of various experimental equipment. Besides that, the night was quiet, and there were no other sounds.
Suddenly, the hair on his arm stood on end, and the muscles on his back contracted like an umbrella – this premonition, as if facing an enemy, was like the instinct of a beast. If he hadn't lived for thousands of years, he wouldn't have it.
Muzan slowly raised his head, and the next second, his scarlet vertical pupils suddenly widened.
He didn't know when, but a huge crack appeared in the sky, as if a pair of big hands were slowly parting the clouds, revealing a huge light curtain.
Strangely, even through the walls of the laboratory, the light curtain was still clearly visible.
It felt as if the light curtain didn't appear in the sky but could be projected into their minds.
This is... Blood Demon Art?
Could it be an illusion that can directly affect him?
But the moment this thought appeared, Muzan subconsciously denied it.
It wasn't that he hadn't come into contact with Blood Demon Arts that could cause hallucinations; Tamayo's blood could do it. The Blood Demon Art that acted on him could be broken down in just a few seconds, but as time passed, the sky above his head didn't disappear.
"Could it be those Demon Slayer Corps..."
Muzan's pale face had a fleeting look of astonishment and incomprehension.
With a crisp "crack", the floor tiles under Muzan's feet suddenly shattered, and the muscles in his legs mutated, the hideous muscles instantly bursting his trouser legs.
No matter what, get out of here first!
Since that monster-like man died, he rarely showed this rough and ugly posture again. Only when faced with threats would he choose to escape in this form.
This was an instinct. If there was any abnormal situation, he would immediately leave the spot and summon the Upper Moons!
What's more, today's anomaly was something he had never encountered in his thousands of years of life.
"Could it be a miracle?"
"Impossible! Impossible!"
A drop of cold sweat slid down Muzan's forehead, and a fear that had been absent for hundreds of years surged from his heart, gradually chilling his limbs.
But just as he was stunned, the sky seemed to have undergone some changes.
On the pitch-black sky, several clear white words gradually appeared.
...
~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End~
Inside a small tavern in Weiserst, Stark, who was tasting the local specialty spicy meat burger with Frieren, was gaping, staring blankly at the sky outside the window. The super spicy taste of the meat burger in his mouth couldn't suppress the shock in his heart at this moment.
"Look outside the window, the sky is cracking!"
"What's going on? Is it demon magic?"
"Look! Words are floating on it!"
The light curtain that suddenly appeared in the sky immediately made the entire town boil. People put down their work and walked out of their houses, marveling at the spectacle from the sky.
"Mihoyo?"
Fern looked up at the sky, frowning. She tugged at the sleeve of the white-haired elf beside her, trying to accurately pronounce the distorted white characters on the light curtain.
The unfamiliar characters were similar to some kind of magic circuit, appearing on the black light curtain for only a few seconds before disappearing.
"Frieren-sama, could this be... a kind of magic?"
Fern asked her master with an incredulous expression. If this was magic, and the range and influence of the spell were so great, how strong would the caster be?
As a great mage who had lived for thousands of years, Frieren's expression was as stable as ever. She put down the meat burger in her hand and calmly wiped her mouth.
"Fern, we should find out who cast the magic."
Frieren said calmly,
"There are not many people on the entire continent who can cast this kind of magic. It shouldn't be too difficult to find."
Based on her understanding of magic, this kind of magic that could change the sky on a large scale probably came from the ancient mythical era. Many of the spells of that era cannot be fully analyzed even today.
"Frieren-sama, have you seen this kind of magic before?"
"Not at all."
...
~Akame Ga Kill World~
In a forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City.
"Even if I close my eyes, I can still see the picture."
Akame was lying on a tree, looking at the slowly emerging words in the sky, and couldn't help but ask,
"Does the Imperial Army have this kind of Teigu?"
Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and the light curtain that followed unfolded, directly projecting the content into everyone's minds.
Akame had never seen such an anomaly before. Not to mention her, even Night Raid's leader, Najenda, had never seen this scene.
"At least among all the recorded Teigu, there is no Teigu that can affect people's minds on such a large scale."
Mine, who was sitting under the tree, was wiping "Pumpkin" in her arms while looking up at the various scenes in the light curtain.
"But the content in this picture is interesting. Is that a train on the border of the Empire?"
Tatsumi smiled lightly:
"What? Mine, can your train fly in the sky?"
...
~Genshin Impact World~
Teyvat Continent, Natlan.
Today's Holy Flame Arena is happy, so happy that even the dust is dancing in peace. People and dragons dance together, all kinds of shouts are mixed together, the chiefs and tribesmen have come here, both to remember the dead in the Abyss War, and to celebrate Natlan's long-term peace.
After countless people sacrificed themselves, Lumine finally joined forces with the Pyro Archon and others to repel the Abyss's offensive.
To celebrate this glorious moment, the Pyro Archon Murata held a grand banquet in the Holy Flame Arena, inviting all Natlan people to celebrate together.
Everyone toasted and laughed, wanting to use the wine to soothe the wounds of the war.
Suddenly, the gate of the banquet was knocked open, and a person dressed as a wooden puppet rushed in with a pale face.
"Pyro... Pyro Archon! The... the sky is cracking!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet was silent.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly solidified, and it took a long time before a trembling voice came out intermittently.
"So fast, could it be that the Abyss is making a comeback?"
"Is the Abyss waiting for the power of the Holy Flame to become difficult to maintain before attacking? How cunning!"
"Could it be that even the Pyro Archon can't..."
Murata's face sank, but she quickly regained her usual composure. She raised her right hand, clenched her fist, and said in a solemn voice:
"Silence. please raise your heads."
When everyone heard this, they raised their heads, but found that they could see the sky outside clearly even through the roof of the arena.
— To be precise, it was the light curtain in the sky.
"As you can see, this is not the power of the Abyss. At least I cannot sense any Abyss aura from this anomaly."
Although the power of the Abyss was strong, it was still within Murata's understanding, but this light curtain was really strange and unreasonable. She had just tried it, and she could "see" the content on it even with her eyes closed.
In Natlan's long struggle with the Abyss for thousands of years, the Abyss had never shown such a special power...
"Pyro Archon, if it's not the Abyss, what is this anomaly?"
Murata shook her head. Although she could get a lot of knowledge and memories about Natlan after inheriting the title of Pyro Archon, there was no record of this kind of anomaly in it.
"Unfortunately, I don't know either. This is also the direction I will send people to investigate next."
Just as everyone was chatting, the light curtain suddenly flashed, and there seemed to be new changes.
"Pyro Archon, look! There is movement on the light curtain!"
Under the gaze of countless eyes, a long, cylindrical object like a train suddenly appeared in the center of the light curtain, rushing straight into the sky with a magnificent momentum.
"Look! Words are coming out again!"
...
In addition, Baki, Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, and countless heroes of dimensional civilizations couldn't help but raise their heads, looking at the six big characters in the sky:
[ Honkai: Star Rail ]
