Upcoming: [Honkai: Star Rail/DC] Star's DC Trailblaze Journal, blurb below
Blurb:
To this day, humanity has become the master of Earth, and the world has finally entered an era of return.
"All who have departed shall return; all that has been lost shall be regained; all who have died shall be born anew."
And so, the names Teyvat and its Seven Nations rang throughout the world.
Zhongli: "Mr. Wayne, you've misunderstood. We didn't save Jason. Jason saved himself. He was brave and strong, and escaped death on his own. We merely provided a little insignificant medical assistance."
Venti: "Of course I'm not an ordinary bard. I'm the greatest bard on Earth~"
Raiden Ei: "You are an obstacle to humanity's future, an enemy of eternity. I will cut you down!"
Neuvillette: "This is no longer the age of dragons, nor is it the age of gods. It is the age of humanity. As the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, and as the former Chief Justice of Fontaine, once ruled by gods, I will not actively seek contact with humanity."
Nahida: "Although this is now the age of humanity, they have come into contact with a forbidden entity: the Abyss."
Mavuika: "Traveler, as one of the Duhmani, witness this brand-new Night-Warden Ceremony of the Sacred Flame, with participants from all Seven Nations! It will choose the heroes who will march against the Abyss. They will join you in severing the Abyss's grasping tendrils that ensnare the world!"
The Tsaritsa: "I am not like those others who dote on humanity. In this age of human rule, I will not answer humanity's wishes."
The knight from Gotham was filled with countless questions about Teyvat, the Seven Nations, and the Seven Archons. He confided his questions to a Traveler from beyond the world.
The Traveler replied:
In an age so distant that people today could no longer remember it, the seven nations of the mortal realm, led by the Six Archons, the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, and the twin Descenders, ascended to Celestia to fight the Heavenly Principles and prove that humanity no longer needed gods.
In the end, the Heavenly Principles were defeated. The age of divine rule came to a complete end, and the world entered the age of human rule.
In the first year of human rule, while Teyvat was still weakened after the war against the Heavenly Principles, the Abyss invaded the world, aided by the people who had once betrayed humanity and were now members of the Abyss Order. The world was brought to the brink of destruction.
With the twins' help, the Six Archons of Teyvat and the Hydro Dragon Sovereign restored the world as it teetered on the verge of ruin. Using themselves as the key, ▉▉▉▉▉ as the core, and the power of Teyvat's ley lines, they forged a seal to keep the Abyss beyond the world.
In the 219th year of human rule, Mondstadt's nobles turned their backs on freedom and oppressed the people. Unable to bear their suffering, the people destroyed the nation.
In the 289th year of human rule, Inazuma invaded Sumeru and destroyed the nation, reducing a thousand years of wisdom to ashes.
In the 285th year of human rule, Inazuma lost its virtue, waged war, invaded other nations, destroyed their countries, eradicated their peoples, and extinguished their civilizations. It committed every kind of evil. But after years of war, anti-war sentiment grew in the country, and infighting continued without end. In the 290th year of human rule, the nation was destroyed.
In the 310th year of human rule, Fontaine's nobles took control of the Chief Justice and made a mockery of the courts. Justice was no more. The people, deprived of procedural justice, formed an uprising to achieve justice in its outcome and rebelled against Fontaine. The nation was destroyed.
In the 345th year of human rule, Natlan's six great tribes split apart. They grew to hate one another and lost the unity they once shared. They waged war on each other without respite, suffering the ravages of war year after year, until the nation was destroyed.
In the 361st year of human rule, conditions within Snezhnaya grew ever more hostile, and the nation perished in the harsh weather.
In the 388th year of human rule, the Liyue Qixing had all become incompetent. They ignored contracts, oppressed the people, and indulged in luxury, leaving the population destitute. Then came a year of famine, and people starved so badly they resorted to cannibalism. Unable to bear their suffering, the people rebelled, and the nation was eventually destroyed.
The wind turned the pages of time, and all that had once belonged to the gods was buried in the past. Ten thousand years later, no one remembered the age of divine rule, nor the Seven Nations that had once existed in Teyvat.
Until the age of return arrived.
The pairings in this story are Zhongli/Neuvillette and Superman/Batman. No breaking them up or reversing the pairings. Ship whatever else you like, I don't mind, just don't break up my couples. I won't deliberately write about anyone else besides these two pairs anyway.
This story includes the Justice League, the Avengers, the Inuyasha cast, and Genshin Impact. There are lots of original plot details and settings, so please bear with me. The Inuyasha cast will appear, but not much, and only in the Inazuma arc.
Batfamily and Superman have an age adjustment: Batman is older than Superman. (Batman has already adopted Tim, while Superman has only been active for a year.) I love the Batfamily, so their relationships will be pretty good in this story. I want them to be a loving family! No killing each other, and no family infighting! Please don't read if you dislike that.
The story focuses on an ensemble cast, but since the author loves Zhongli and Batman, they may get a little more attention. Also, the author will undo all the deaths from Genshin Impact, though I might not mention every one. So if someone who died in canon is alive in this story, don't be surprised. The author has stolen their death meal and fed it to Paimon.
The Abyss is the main villain, so I've made some original additions to it. Please don't read if that bothers you.
The story officially begins on November 11.
It officially enters paid serialization on January 6, 2025. Three chapters will be posted that day, so look forward to it ^o^
Upcoming story blurb:
Astral Express crew perspective:
March couldn't believe that, these days, worlds that Akivili had never visited were appearing before her in bundles, like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Not long ago, they had gone through a thrilling adventure in Amphoreus, one that had nearly left them forever separated. The very next moment, just as the train set off, a strange sound like shattering glass rang out, and they failed to arrive at their next destination, Washing Star.
Instead, they arrived on an unfamiliar blue planet, where the planet's natives even discovered their presence.
But nothing could stump the all-capable Astral Express crew. So the bold March dragged her good friends Dan Heng and March 7th, along with the train's newest little one, straight into the planet's space station to make friendly contact.
March thought confidently: This time, the Nameless will make a sensational debut on our Trailblaze journey!
Justice League perspective:
Extraterrestrial visitors have always been a headache for the Justice League. After all, aside from a few who truly come in peace, most extraterrestrial visitors have ulterior motives, like Darkseid, Brainiac, Starro... Usually eight out of every ten are up to no good.
So this time, when they discovered a gigantic train suddenly appearing beyond Earth, the seven highest-ranking superheroes in the Justice League gathered on the Watchtower, remaining alert as they tried to communicate with it.
They got a response soon enough. The extraterrestrial visitors called themselves the Nameless of the Astral Express. They said they meant no harm, and had originally been headed for a place called Washing Star, but somehow ended up here instead.
The wary superheroes didn't believe they were truly harmless. After all, even the Green Lantern ring had no information about the Astral Express or Washing Star.
Then, as a gesture of goodwill, the Astral Express sent six of its members to meet them in person.
When the superheroes asked where they came from and what they wanted:
The little gray-haired one at the front spoke passionately: "Since you've so kindly asked!"
The composed young man beside them, whose features had a distinctly East Asian look, delivered his line expressionlessly: "We'll be merciful and tell you!"
The beautiful girl with the unusual hair color put her hands on her hips, full of energy: "To protect the universe from destruction!"
The white-haired, blue-eyed young man in blue-and-white armor spoke with fiery passion: "To safeguard peace throughout the universe!"
The little gray-haired one and the girl shouted together: "To uphold the justice of love and truth!"
The composed young man was made to join the fiery white-haired young man in saying: "Adorable and charming heroes!"
"The Galactic Baseballer!"
"Stelle, that's cheating! Fine, then I'll do it too! The Pink-Haired Magical Girl!"
"Dan... The Cool-Faced Little Dragon."
"Then I'll be... The White Calamity of the Elegy Garden."
The boy with angel wings who had been standing off to the side with his eyes covered by his ear-feathers from the start now spoke too: "Sunday."
Then the little gray-haired one stood at the very front with their hands on their hips and announced triumphantly: "We are the Nameless of the Astral Express, traveling across the galaxy!"
Finally, under the expectant gaze of the little gray-haired one, the winged ears of the young man named Sunday folded closed, covering his eyes. Combined with the halo behind his head, it gave the impression that he was about to ascend straight to heaven. "Meow~ That's about it."
The brown-haired young man beside them couldn't help but facepalm. This introduction left the superheroes speechless, and for some reason their initial wariness had completely melted away.
The superheroes: Damn it! We can't stay on guard at all!
The Justice League runs into the Astral Express. The Nameless are absurdly good at pulling ridiculous stunts, and the League can't beat them no matter how hard they try.
More serious (?) blurb:
Earth used to face alien invasions every now and then. But ever since the Nameless of the Astral Express brought the Star Rail to Earth, forces renowned throughout the universe, such as the Interastral Peace Corporation, the Xianzhou Alliance, the Family, the Garden of Recollection, the Denizens of Abundance, and the Antimatter Legion, have begun making contact with Earth. The universe is a grand stage, so come on in if you're eccentric enough!
From then on, Earth enjoyed the wonderful life of facing the Antimatter Legion every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the Denizens of Abundance every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and the Swarm on Sundays.
Earth: Please, I'm afraid I'm going to be done for.
Some brooding guy: I won't allow it! (??へ?? ╬)
This story has no romance, no romance, no romance. That's important, so I'll say it three times. The Trailblazer in this story is Stelle, so don't get that wrong.
This is a Honkai: Star Rail and DC crossover. There are lots of original plot details and settings, so please bear with me. The Astral Express crew is at the center of the story, and the point of view will mostly stay with them, especially Stelle.
Since the author doesn't want China and Earth to face that awful situation together, China in this story has merged with the Xianzhou. That means Earth no longer has China as a country, while the Xianzhou has gained a whole lot of delicious food brought over from China. Please don't read if that bothers you!! Thank you!!!
This should be a goofy, lively story. The last one was too serious, so I'll take a breather with a funny, lighthearted one.
Some DC characters will become Emanators. Please don't read if that bothers you. Also, the author loves Batman, so please try to be nice to him in the comments. Otherwise, the author will be very sad. Thank you.
After finishing the 3.4 story, I decided to add Baiheng to the train. (Baiheng, Baiheng, we love you!) I'm not sure whether HoYoverse will let Baiheng board, but in this story I'm going with the original setting that Baiheng joins the train. Please don't read if that bothers you.
Theme: Passing the torch from one generation to the next, virtue never dies
The dragon kings of the original god, alas, couldn't help but sing that sentence: There is only one way in this world...
It feels like Bruce will be worried to death after understanding how most of the demons disappeared.
Demon Gods: Step into the ditch (bushi) to the rhythm
Facing the abyss, each country has different ways of dealing with it. The way Mond and Liyue dealt with it was really impressive. And Tevarin's point... I seriously doubt that your first reaction after seeing Wendy again was to cry...
Hmm... I suddenly thought, are they the demon gods who are set to mimic the abyss, or are they really the demon gods swallowed by the abyss? If they are the mimics of the abyss, they are not even themselves, and the screams will be even more clownish.
Can I say that I was just waiting for Tevalin to cry and fuss over Wendy??
It made me laugh so hard, the power of words, the touchstone of fate
There are so many of these flowers in my backpack! ! ! (Hold your chest proudly)
Blues is from the vegetarian school, right?
The new article to be published next day will also be about the characters who appear in the star train passing through different places in Bengtie, right? I strongly recommend that the host writes the three little Tibao into it. When this character was created, I really thought it was so cute. From a royal sister to three children, they have different personalities and are so interesting to get along with. If they are together, they are cute and can shoot missiles. I really like it. I will continue the author's article after I get to college. I look forward to September 6th.
Thank you to the author for making Batman no longer lonely
