In the world of Star Rail, there were also different "worlds." However, here, "world" did not mean a planet, nor a universe, but was the collective term for a small part of a galaxy isolated by the Imaginary Space.
According to the Imaginary Tree theory, the world of Star Rail had countless small worlds.
These small worlds were like leaves on a tree; although they grew on the same tree, they were isolated from each other and could not come into contact.
Only Aeons, large interstellar factions blessed by Aeons, or by relying on the Star Rails laid by the Astral Express, could break through the blockade of the Imaginary Space, cross the starry sky, and travel from one small world to another.
Representative factions included the Interastral Peace Corporation, which worshipped Preservation, the Xianzhou civilization, which worshipped The Hunt, and of course, the Astral Express, which worshipped Trailblaze.
As a member of the Astral Express, March 7th had naturally seen many small worlds along the interstellar routes. The concept of different worlds was not difficult for her to understand.
However, after patiently listening to Rin Tohsaka's explanation, even she understood one thing: the "world" Rin was talking about and the "world" she was talking about were not the same thing.
The so-called dimensional chat group was actually connecting individuals from other universes, completely outside the observable universe!
March 7th: I-I-Is this for real?
March 7th was immediately excited. For a trailblazer, there was no word more exciting than "other universes." That was an unknown territory that not even the Astral Express had reached, a place not even the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili, had set foot in (Record).
If she could reach such a place, wouldn't she become an even better trailblazer than Himeko?
Tohsaka Rin: Of course it's real. If you don't believe me, you can just come and see for yourself, right?
March 7th: Oh, oh! Can this chat group really travel to other universes?
The pink-haired girl's eyes sparkled, now completely interested.
Tohsaka Rin: Of course it can, as long as someone is willing to invite you and spend a certain amount of points.
Tohsaka Rin: However, some worlds are a bit dangerous. It's best for those without power not to go rashly.
After a detailed explanation, the twin-tailed loli suddenly remembered something.
Tohsaka Rin: By the way, there's something I want to ask beforehand. Since your side is already at a star-faring civilization level, your strength should be quite high, right?
No matter what, anyone who dared to travel across the stars should not be an ordinary person.
Hearing this question, the pink-haired girl froze for a moment.
March 7th: My strength?
She pondered for a few seconds. In the current Astral Express crew, her strength was the fourth strongest. Although, the crew currently only had four people, not counting Pom-Pom.
As the last one, she was clearly no match for Dan Heng and Welt Yang, and she didn't have the courage to fight the navigator, Himeko.
If someone were to question her strength, her personality might make her feel indignant. But Rin was clearly concerned, and she herself understood that an unknown universe would definitely have unknown dangers.
So, after a moment's thought, she lowered her head and said dejectedly, "My strength is average. I can only fight small mobs. But, if Himeko and Mr. Yang can come with me, then there's no problem!"
March 7th had great faith in the strength of these two seniors.
Kanae Kocho: Only small mobs? It seems the interstellar era isn't as exaggerated as Rin said!
She immediately believed March 7th's words.
Tohsaka Rin: After all, humans are still humans!
The twin-tailed loli also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried it would be another Jibril-type, a wolf in sheep's clothing, but it seemed not.
With that thought, out of a habit she had developed from checking Jibril's strength, she still clicked on March 7th's personal profile.
And then, she froze.
Tohsaka Rin: ???
Tohsaka Rin: You call Tier 4 Continent-Sinking level strength "fighting small mobs"?!
Tohsaka Rin: March 7th.
Tohsaka Rin: Are the skins of your small mobs made of gold, or is their meat made of gold?
The twin-tailed girl began to snark with all her might. Damn it, I knew the newcomer wasn't that simple!
Kanae Kocho: …
Kanae Kocho: Although she can't compare to Lord Su Mo, she's another monster-level newcomer!
Kanae was also shocked. With Su Mo already at Tier 5, Tier 4 didn't sound that exaggerated, but it didn't change the fact that the newcomer had become the second strongest, tied with Jibril, as soon as she joined.
Besides, when Jibril, also a Tier 4, had joined the group, she had been quite arrogant, even attempting to challenge Su Mo. Although she had been successfully subdued in the end, Jibril was still quite confident in her own power.
How was it that for March 7th, Tier 4 strength could only be used to fight small mobs? Was the so-called interstellar era really that terrifying? Even Jibril couldn't help but pay more attention to the newcomer.
March 7th: Tier 4? Continent-Sinking?
Faced with everyone's surprise, March 7th was still a bit confused.
It wasn't until Kanae explained the chat group's power division in detail that she understood.
The pink-haired girl immediately waved her hands.
March 7th: I don't know how you calculated it, but my strength isn't that exaggerated! Sinking a continent on my own, you're asking too much of me!
She knew her own business. Although she could easily deal with elite mobs like the Flamespawn of the Outer Planes or the Ice of the Outer Planes, she really didn't have the ability to change the terrain of a planet on a large scale.
Tohsaka Rin: But the chat group's evaluation is never wrong.
The twin-tailed loli was a little confused for a moment. The chat group was definitely not wrong. Was the other person lying? She didn't seem as silly… as carefree as she had appeared before?
While she was puzzled, Jibril, who had been lurking for a long time, immediately jumped out to explain.
Jibril: Sinking a continent is just a figurative description to evaluate destructive power. According to the chat group's rules, even if you can't cause large-scale destruction, as long as your strength reaches the corresponding level, you can still get a Tier 4 evaluation.
Just as the gods of fate or time could not destroy a country in one blow, but it didn't stop them from killing a god of the same level, destructive power was an important indicator of strength, but not the only one.
March 7th: There's such a rule? That makes sense.
March 7th: Although I can't change the weather or do large-scale terraforming, those small mobs that can change the terrain are indeed no match for me.
March 7th: In that case… am I actually strong?
Come to think of it, the Flamespawn of the Outer Planes, the Ice of the Outer Planes, and elite mobs like the Tramplers from the Void Legion were not particularly troublesome enemies for her.
But according to Himeko, if they encountered a planet with a not-so-high level of civilization, the strength of these elite mobs was like that of a god to the natives, and could even destroy the world.
If she compared herself to that, she didn't seem that weak?
For some reason, the pink-haired girl was suddenly full of confidence.
Tohsaka Rin: Of course you're strong. I don't even dare to let you come to my world. If you accidentally destroyed the country I'm in, wouldn't I be done for?
The twin-tailed girl snarked. Previously, she wouldn't have had such a superfluous worry, but Jibril's previous challenge had still left a warning bell in their hearts. Just because Su Mo could handle a newcomer didn't mean they could.
If they rashly brought a newcomer to their world without Su Mo's confirmation, and something happened, she might not even have time to call for help.
Kanae Kocho: That makes sense.
She was convinced by Rin's caution.
Hearing the two of them, March 7th was a bit dazed. Having always been underestimated for being too simple, this was the first time she had been warned because of her strength.
March 7th: You guys are overreacting! I'm not the Antimatter Legion. How could I do something bad like destroying someone else's country?
Kanae Kocho: Sorry, we're not wary of you. It's just that there's a precedent.
Tohsaka Rin: That's right! Someone once said they would conquer all of us and become the master of the chat group!
The two of them said, pointedly. Even if they had taken benefits and become one of them, it didn't mean they had forgotten what Jibril had done.
March 7th: Eh? Sounds like there's a story there. Tell me more!
Sensing the scent of gossip, the pink-haired girl's eyes immediately lit up.
Jibril: You two are so annoying, scaring the newcomer like that. I can't even watch anymore.
Jibril: Our chat group has always been fair and free. We're all friends of Lord Su Mo. How could there be a bad person who would plunder without a care?
The Flügel girl firmly denied that such a thing existed. She was one of Lord Su Mo's most beloved children; how could she do such a bad thing!
Tohsaka Rin: Are you sure there isn't?
Kanae Kocho: Ahem!
Jibril: I'll buy whatever new merchandise you guys put out!
The Flügel girl threw out her ultimate move.
Tohsaka Rin: Oh my! I must have remembered wrong. There are no bad people in our chat group. Jibril is a girl just like an angel!
Kanae Kocho: Rin is right!
Under the power of money, the two of them instantly changed their tune.
March 7th: ?
March 7th: I feel like I just witnessed an evil transaction. Are you guys sure you're not from the Corporation?
The pink-haired girl wasn't so dumb that she couldn't see the blatant transaction.
Madoka Kaname: March 7th-oneechan, don't be nervous. Rin-oneechan and the others are just like that.
Jibril: Don't misunderstand. I didn't do any dirty deals!
Tohsaka Rin: I didn't lie either. Jibril does look a lot like an angel!
Although, she only looked like one. Her personality was closer to a reaper.
March 7th: Your denial is just making it more suspicious…
The pink-haired girl snarked speechlessly.
Jibril: Don't mind the details! Besides, Miss March 7th, didn't you say you wanted to see the beautiful scenery of other universes? If you don't mind, you can come over to my place!
Jibril: Please rest assured, over here, even if you want to destroy a country or something, it's not impossible!
The Flügel girl, for some unknown reason, desperately invited March 7th over.
March 7th: I don't want to destroy a country!
The pink-haired girl snarked, a little tempted.
March 7th: But, is there really beautiful scenery? Don't tell me it's a scam.
She had some wariness, but not much. Asking like this naturally wouldn't solve the problem.
Jibril: Of course not! I guarantee it's a spectacle you'll be lucky to see once in a hundred thousand years. Even in the interstellar universe, you might not encounter such a tense and exciting scene. It's definitely worth seeing once!
Seeing this, the others in the chat group froze for a moment, then the corners of their mouths twitched. It wasn't that they didn't know the specific situation of the No Game No Life world.
In a world on the brink of apocalypse from the great war, what kind of spectacle could there be?
They couldn't even see a basic blue sky and white clouds.
Was she trying to trick the newcomer?
If it were just Jibril doing this, the others in the group would naturally object and not let the newcomer jump into the pit. But at this time, Su Mo was also in the No Game No Life world.
Out of their trust in him, they did not stop her.
March 7th: A spectacle you'll be lucky to see once in a hundred thousand years? That sounds amazing!
The simple-minded girl was immediately tricked.
Jibril: I swear on the name of my creator, Lord Artosh, that the scenery here is absolutely special enough!
Jibril: Don't just be tempted, act on it! Come on over!
Group member Jibril has sent you an invitation.
Jibril: Don't dawdle! If you're a little late, you might miss it!
A series of urges made March 7th nervous too. She had originally wanted to ask Himeko or Welt Yang for their opinion and see if the two seniors would go with her. But hearing how urgent Jibril was, she subconsciously thought it was some fleeting scenery.
Plus, Jibril's guarantee sounded so sincere, not like she was lying.
"Forget it. I'll just go and take some pictures this time, and then share them with Himeko and the others when I get back!"
Her already impulsive personality was immediately spurred into action.
March 7th: Wait for me, wait for me! I'm coming right over!
Without even time to grab a change of clothes, she gripped the camera she never left behind and directly accepted the invitation.
In an instant, the scenery before her switched from her princess-like bedroom to an unfamiliar world.
Under a blood-red sky, the expectant girl opened her eyes with great interest, wanting to witness the spectacle of another world.
And then, she saw the Ex-machina legion before her, and on the flanks, the warships of the Elves and Dwarfs, as well as the Dragonia, Phantasma, and other extraordinary creatures.
The smell of iron and blood from the flames of war permeated the entire battlefield, and an unsettling fluctuation of power emanated from the fleet.
March 7th was instantly dumbfounded.
This wasn't any kind of scenery; it was clearly the prelude to a world-ending war!
