The silver-haired woman stood with her back to the camera, and the ends of her long hair were clearly curled into three spiral patterns.
That's right.
This was Bronya's signature look!
When the woman turned around, Welt was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning!
This… this is her, right?!
Bronya, when did you come here?
And why are you playing the role of the Supreme Guardian's daughter?
Wait, no!
This Supreme Guardian is Cocolia.
Bronya is her daughter.
But you two…
Did you switch scripts and come here to act?
Did you finish your mission on Earth and come here for a career change?
Silver Wolf had already surprised Welt once before.
Now, they weren't even trying to hide it.
This was clearly an older version of Bronya!
Her name, appearance, and even her demeanor were strikingly similar.
Unfortunately, the scene passed by too quickly, and Welt didn't get a good look at Bronya's features.
But he would probably see her again soon in the upcoming storyline.
Welt put down his phone.
He needed to stand up and walk around the train.
Gazing at the vast universe and the brilliant galaxy, he tried to suppress the absurd emotions rising within him.
Just then.
Himeko let out a surprised exclamation.
"Huh? The developer gifted us 1,600 Stellar Jades and announced a new limited character banner. Oh, it's already live?"
"Welt, look, this is a new character. Her name is [Seele]."
"Who?"
Welt, who had just calmed down, felt his emotions surge again.
When he saw the character's illustration on the screen, he was completely dumbfounded!
That hair color!
That butterfly motif!
That iconic scythe weapon!
This was clearly an older version of Seele!
Well then.
Bronya's here, and now Seele's here too!
Did everyone get together and take on a game script while I was away?
Belobog is full of old friends!
"Welt, what's wrong?" Himeko asked with concern.
Welt felt like he might burst if he didn't say something.
So he told Himeko about how these characters were his old acquaintances.
After listening.
Himeko thought for a moment.
Then she said, "I've also encountered situations where people resemble old acquaintances. Some souls are so radiant that they leave similar imprints even in different worlds."
"But one or two is fine. If you're saying this entire planet is full of your old friends, that is indeed a bit strange."
"Well, not all of them are old friends. For example, Sampo and Gepard from earlier aren't," Welt explained.
"I see. Then I'm inclined to think they're just similar flowers."
Welt nodded helplessly.
He decided to keep watching.
If another familiar name appeared… yes, just one more, he would have to go to this planet and see for himself.
Maybe…
It would feel like coming home!
...
In Guinaifen's livestream.
Her game progress was also moving quickly.
She had already reached the Underworld.
There, she met [Wildfire]'s elite Seele, the Underworld's ordinary doctor Natasha, and the boss of the Mole Gang, the dark Hook.
Now, she was preparing to assist [Wildfire] in resolving the conflict between miners and vagrants over a new mineral vein.
Guinaifen activated Himeko's ultimate skill.
[Heavenly Flames] descended, instantly breaking three vagrants. Himeko followed up with an additional attack.
The battle ended in one move.
Guinaifen couldn't help but exclaim, "Himeko is so strong against groups!"
"Except when facing elite enemies like Bronya, she's a bit weak. But otherwise, she's very useful."
"I have a bold idea—if I pull a single-target DPS character, wouldn't I be able to handle all situations perfectly?"
The livestream chat was flooded with responses.
…
[Chat]
"Genius!"
"How did you know I got Welt in ten pulls?"
"Hehe, I just defeated Bronya in one go with Welt! Welt's skill breaks Imaginary shields way too fast!"
"You all have 5-star characters? Where do I claim mine?"
…
Guinaifen was growing fonder of her Himeko by the minute.
She treated her like a treasure, equipping her with the best relics and striving to make Himeko as strong as possible.
Then, she opened the Warp interface.
Looking at her 6,000+ Stellar Jades, she said eagerly, "Folks! Should I try pulling for Mr. Welt? I wonder if he'll pair well with Miss Himeko?"
Just then.
A new banner appeared next to the standard banner.
It featured Seele's image.
Below it was a Light Cone also featuring Seele.
Guinaifen's first thought was that she had encountered some kind of bug.
Suddenly, a notification appeared at the top of the screen—she had received a new mail.
She immediately opened it.
What greeted her was a generous gift of Stellar Jades!
"Oh my god! Why do I have another 1,600 Stellar Jades in my mailbox? Is the dev team giving out more freebies?"
"Wait, why did I say [another]?"
Guinaifen looked like she was about to cry.
She began carefully reading the game announcement.
Two minutes later.
"What? A new limited 5-star character?"
"I haven't even figured out all the characters in the standard banner yet! And now there's a new one?"
"They made Seele a limited 5-star?"
"Yu Ling, your development speed is insane!"
