Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 228 Kneel down before me!

As these words were spoken, a great light shone brightly from inside the crystal door.

A tall figure walked through the doorway filled with liquid white light and stepped out from inside, as if he were coming from another world.

Only when the light faded and the crystal door disappeared could Lin Qiong barely make out his appearance.

The man was wearing a simple gray trench coat, black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, and had neat short brown hair. His dark blue scarf almost reached his waist.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Qiong's pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze couldn't help but sweep over the person.

After a long pause, he managed to stammer out, "Wa...Walter Yang?"

Since the crystal door disappeared, the pain in Lin Qiong's head has lessened, and the indescribable nausea has also subsided.

But at this moment, looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Lin Qiong's surprise surged out like a flood.

He knew that the Walter Young before him was definitely not the one who stayed behind on the Star Train.

Walter Young on the train exuded a composure that came with the passage of time, giving people a sense of security and reliability.

The person in front of me, though with the same face and appearance, has a completely different temperament.

There was a hint of wild, spirited madness about him.

Most importantly, Walter Yang's attire is clearly the classic image of the "Anti-Entropy Leader"...

Based on what he said when he appeared, Lin Qiong judged that this should be Walter Yang from another timeline—also known as "Yang Chaoyue".

"Uh... how did you end up calling Old Yang over here?"

Lin Qiong looked at the Feathered Dust in his hand with a strange expression, trying to recall the scene when he summoned it.

He wanted to figure out exactly what he had done to meet Yu Duchen's summoning conditions, which in turn led to this summoning.

However, the swarming mysterious monsters clearly didn't want to give Lin Qiong a chance to think.

They let out eerie roars, their mouths opening and closing, uttering strange languages ​​that Lin Qiong could not understand at all, and charged straight at Lin Qiong and Walter Yang like wild beasts.

"Never mind, I'll think about it later. Let's deal with these annoying guys first."

After his thoughts were interrupted by the monsters, Lin Qiong did not hesitate and immediately reached out to pull out the Jie Mie that was stuck upside down beside him.

But before he could even grasp the sword hilt, he suddenly heard Walter Young's arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha!!"

Walter Young reached out and roughly ripped off his glasses, which were perched on his nose, and tossed them aside. Then, he raised his right hand, swept his messy hair back, and a look of madness appeared in his eyes.

"I conquered the world. What that man couldn't do, I did...!"

Walter Young's unrestrained, wild laughter exploded like thunder in the spacious area.

Upon hearing this burst of laughter, Dan Heng and Xing, who were still fighting the monsters, were startled, and their movements unconsciously slowed down for a moment.

They all turned their gaze to the man who was laughing wildly, and after seeing his familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face.

"Mr. Walter!?" the two exclaimed in surprise, "What brings you here?"

Despite their calls, Walter Young acted as if he hadn't heard them and continued to stand there laughing loudly.

He opened his arms to both sides without any hesitation, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world.

"...This is my own strength, my own destiny, my own ideal, this...this is the real me!!"

Lin Qiong froze on the spot, staring at Walter Yang, who was reciting fixed lines like an NPC.

He couldn't help but ask himself, shouldn't his original purpose have been to use Feather Dust to summon the henchmen known as "Memory Spirits"?

But now?

The summoned Welt Young just stood there dumbfounded reciting the "Declaration of Transcendence," showing no resemblance whatsoever to a henchman.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but point at the swarm of monsters ahead, which resembled a locust plague, and shout:

"Stop reading that! Those monsters are practically charging at your face! Attack them!"

I don't know if it was the reprimand that had an effect.

Walter Young, who was reciting his words, suddenly stopped, and the "Declaration of Transcendence" he was about to finish abruptly ended.

He slowly took a step forward, and a purplish-red sphere appeared in his hand without him noticing, surrounded by countless black arcs of electricity.

"Enough! You bunch of ants..."

Walter Young slightly raised his chin, looking down arrogantly at the horde of monsters surging towards him like a tide, a strange crimson gleam in his pupils.

"Kneel down!!"

He suddenly pressed down hard with his left hand, and a powerful gravitational field spread out in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire area.

In an instant.

The group of monsters that had been rushing menacingly toward Lin Qiong began to bend and fall uncontrollably after entering the gravity field, eventually collapsing to the ground like rotten mud.

And in this region shrouded by gravity.

Only Lin Qiong, Dan Heng, and Xing were able to stand normally, as if they were not affected at all.

The monsters crawling at their feet, their bodies embedded in the ground, silently testified to the terror of this gravitational field...

Then, Xing and Danheng stepped over the monsters' bodies and walked straight to Lin Qiong's side.

Their gazes swept over Walter Yang, whose left hand remained pressed down and whose body was as still as a statue, before finally settling back on Lin Qiong.

"What exactly is going on?" Xing asked first. "Uncle Yang... uh... why is Mr. Walter here?"

“If I said he wasn’t the Walter we know…would you believe me?” Lin Qiong replied.

Dan Heng frowned slightly, his gaze shifting between Lin Qiong and Walter Yang, and said seriously:

"That depends on whether your explanation is reasonable."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He then briefly recounted the whole story to the two men.

......

"What? You mean, this Mr. Walter is actually your summoned creature?"

After hearing the explanation, Xing's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood." Lin Qiong quickly waved his hand and corrected him seriously, "He cannot be completely considered a summoned creature. To be precise, he is a soul entity extracted from my memories, that is, a memory spirit."

In just a few short minutes, he had completely figured out the summoning mechanism of Yu Duchen and the behavior patterns of these "Memory Spirits".
