Honkai: The Singularity

Chp 2 「Foreign Element」

Hi, My name is Stelle. I have a brother... he's quite stupid. his name is Caelus.

We are what you call stellarons. The thing inside our bodies to be exact. We heard from Herta that she only had one. we then decided to check the security camera and to our guess there was only one.

The footage showed a scene where a group called Stellaron Hunter stole the thing and awakened my brother. But suddenly a bright light blinded the whole room. When the light was gone, you could see two stellarons.

Confusing, right? but that's not important. What matters now is that after we reclaimed the space station, a Doomsday Beast suddenly appeared. We fought and somehow we defeated it... kinda. The dragon then launched a yellow burst of energy towards March and the closest person around was Caelus. Without thinking, he tanked the attack and that's the moment when our consciousness linked.

I could see something like a fraction of images and also a tanned man with white hair staring at us. I don't know what happened after that because i fainted as soon as i saw a blue-haired man smiling at me.

March said that Mr. Yang helped my brother with his leaked energy. And here he now, still unconscious. He was resting his head on Dan Heng's lap.

huh, they really become so close in a short amount of time.

They were now staring at each other. The air around them was heavy. Not long ago, after all that chaos, a blue-haired man approached Welt and asked if he had time to talk. Welt reluctantly agreed and went to a quieter place.

???: what are you doing here?

Welt: hm? you seem to have the wrong pers-

???: Anti-Entropy.

Welt: !?

He gasped for a moment. Welt stared at the man before regaining his composure.

Welt: I'm sorry, you've got the wrong perso-

???: Joachim Nokianvirtanen.

And in that moment, Welt froze. He couldn't move his body, his eyes widened in shock, his heart raced.

The blue-haired man walked over to him, his hand reaching for Welt's cheek. Bringing his face closer, their foreheads touched.

While Welt himself could only stand there. Completely paralyzed. He looked into the man's eyes and saw an endless abyss, and the next second a thousand stars that one by one exploded.

"why are you here?

He brought his face close to Welt's ear, his breath tickling welt's skin. A shiver ran down his spine.

???: you were once a strong man... feared by many. and now... a weak shell? you fell from grace far sooner than I expected.

As if the world was frozen in time, welt could only stand still. His eyes trembled and his breath came in short gasps. The man began to wrap his arms around welt's shoulders.

???: tell me... how did you managed to survive from the unfinished draft?

The man's question only made Welt more confused. Welt slowly regained his composure only to be stopped by a small laugh from the man.
