[Furina: Not only Fontaine, but Teyvat will also be destroyed because of the Stellaron?]
"Impossible! There's no way such a thing could happen."
[Charlotte: While I'm hoping for big news, I don't want to see this kind of news!]
[Kujou Sara: No matter how you look at it, this is just too much. Teyvat will never be destroyed by a mere Stellaron.]
[Cloud Retainer: Even if the Stellaron truly possesses the power to destroy a world, since Belobog was able to survive, Teyvat will not be destroyed by it.]
[Lyney: The Stellaron described by Takagi is even more terrifying than the prophecy of Fontaine. It's best to avoid such things from happening in the first place.]
[Lynette: Brother is right. I also hope the Stellaron doesn't have the power to destroy Teyvat.]
[Albert: That's right! As the saying goes, talk is cheap. Takagi was just saying it; in reality, it might not be like that at all. Besides, isn't Belobog still alive and well?]
[Seele: Yes, although the rest of the planet is frozen solid, the Belobogians still exist. Their living conditions are a bit tough, but at least civilization survived, didn't it?]
Takagi looked at the forum comments, shook his head, and said: "They've only survived temporarily; what you're seeing now is just the surface. In fact, the planet we are on has reached its final stage. Without the intervention of other factors, Belobog is not far from destruction."
Takagi wasn't surprised by the reactions of the various Teyvat people on the forum. When people learn of a danger that could destroy the world they live in, they will subconsciously deny it. After all, not many people want their world to end. Unfortunately, Takagi was not lying. The power possessed by the Stellaron can indeed threaten the continent of Teyvat.
Takagi even thought that if the Stellaron appeared on Teyvat... the false sky surrounding the continent would soon shatter. At that time, something even more dangerous than the Stellaron might set its sights on Teyvat.
Takagi, sitting on the stool, looked up at Jean, Lumine, and the others, and said: "It's normal that you can't accept what I'm saying right away. It's alright; I can take you to see it in person. After seeing the frozen Antimatter Legion, seeing the Fragmentum, and viewing the records about Stellarons stored by Svarog—or rather, after actually seeing the Stellaron itself—then you will understand that I did not lie."
"But are you sure you want to witness this now? You've come to this planet, but you haven't yet taken the time to relax and enjoy the scenery. If you were to directly witness things related to the Stellaron, you probably wouldn't have the mood to do so."
Hearing this, Lumine touched her forehead in distress: "After hearing what you said, I don't think we'll have the leisure time or the mood for a relaxing trip anyway."
Takagi: "So, are you planning to follow me now to witness the deepest secrets of this world?" After speaking, Takagi's gaze swept over Lumine, Jean, Klee, Barbara, and Paimon.
"Um, will there be any danger, Takagi? If we see the Stellaron with our own eyes, won't it destroy us?" Paimon, echoing Takagi's words, asked worriedly.
"A mere Stellaron isn't enough to blow me away. If I were really that incompetent, I wouldn't have opened a travel agency in Teyvat." Takagi flicked Paimon's forehead and laughed.
"Ouch! Don't flick my forehead!" Paimon covered her forehead and said resentfully.
Takagi smiled and looked at the group: "So, shall we set off now, or would you like to rest a bit more?"
Upon hearing this, Jean, Lumine, Barbara, and the others exchanged glances and then nodded in unison. "Takagi, let's set off now." After hearing about the Stellaron, they had no desire to rest. If they didn't quickly figure out what was going on with the Belobog Stellaron, Paimon and the others felt they wouldn't even have the courage to stay in the city.
"Then let's go now." Takagi got up and stepped out of the room. The others quickly followed. As the group stepped out, they saw a beautiful young woman standing there.
"Who is this?" Jean asked curiously.
"A local, Seele." After answering Jean, Takagi asked Seele, "Did you hear everything?" Takagi was not surprised to see Seele at the door; with his abilities, he could easily hear the footsteps approaching.
"Hmm!" Seele nodded, her brows furrowed as she said: "Takagi, you were joking just now, right?"
"Whether it's a joke or not, you can see for yourself," Takagi said, placing his hand on Seele's shoulder. "Perfect timing; I want to take my friends to learn some facts about this world. Would you like to come along?"
Without hesitation, Seele immediately nodded: "Yes, I'll go with you!"
Jean, Lumine, and the others couldn't sit still after hearing about the Stellaron. As a local, how could Seele possibly sit still? What Takagi said was nothing short of a fantasy to her. Under normal circumstances, she would never have believed it. However, many of the things Takagi said corresponded to the situation of the Fragmentum in the Underworld. Moreover, Takagi had brought enough supplies to the area. This made Seele trust him more.
"Then let's go to the Robot Settlement and see Svarog first. We can get a lot of information about the Stellaron from there," Takagi said.
Seele frowned and said: "Svarog, huh? He's quite a stubborn fellow. Takagi, if what you said earlier was fabricated, and you use such words to test Svarog, he will probably be very unhappy. He might even become hostile. That guy is incredibly strong."
"Even so, you must still insist that you did not lie? And we should try to find out about that Stellaron from him?"
Upon hearing this, Takagi nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Of course. The words have already been spoken. Not carrying it out is not in my nature."
Seele: "Since you insist, I'll lead the way, considering the supplies you've given us." As soon as Seele finished speaking, she turned around and quickly walked back the way she came. Takagi called out to the others, and they all followed her.
Belobog, Underworld.
Robot Settlement.
The entrance to Svarog's residence.
"Mr. Svarog, you're back! Thank you for your hard work today." Clara stood at the entrance gate and happily greeted Svarog as he approached.
"I'm not tired. But you, Clara, seem very happy." Svarog stopped in front of her and spoke in a low, mechanical voice.
"Yes, Clara met a very impressive person today! He repaired the machine with remarkable skill. Unfortunately, although I wanted to ask him to teach me that method, he did not agree," Clara said with a regretful expression.
"The Underworld should not have personnel with higher mechanical repair skills than you," Svarog said.
"But he really fixed the machine faster and more skillfully than I could. Oh, and he also gave me a basket of fruit. Unfortunately, Mr. Svarog cannot eat, otherwise, we could enjoy this sweet fruit." As Clara spoke, she took a Sunsettia from her pocket.
"This is... Clara, may I take a closer look?" Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed in Svarog's eyes.
"Of course!" Clara held the Sunsettia toward Svarog. At the same time, she found it strange that Svarog seemed somewhat wary now. After obtaining the fruit, Svarog immediately activated his scanning function.
"Scanning... Scan complete. This fruit does not exist in Belobog's records. Conclusion: This is something from outside the world," Svarog said.
"Eh?" Clara gasped in surprise. She trusted Svarog implicitly, so she immediately believed him. She was simply surprised that the Sunsettia wasn't a local fruit.
"Clara, what is the name of this person? And where did he come from? What are his mechanical repair skills like?" Svarog asked. Although he had not met Takagi, the fruit was enough for Svarog to mark him as someone who needed close monitoring. In order to protect the Underworld, understanding people like Takagi was a necessity.
"The older brother's name is Takagi, but I don't know where he comes from. As for his repair skills, it's like this..." Clara described the techniques Takagi demonstrated. Upon hearing this, Svarog's internal information processing unit accelerated once again.
"Unusual repair techniques, unrecorded fruit. Clara, I need to see this person." After a short while, Svarog lowered his head and spoke to Clara.
"Mr. Svarog, would you like to see Brother Takagi? I made a promise with him before; he will come to the Robot Settlement to find me after he finishes what he's doing," Clara said.
"Clara." Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears.
"It's Brother Takagi!" Clara turned her head; the person speaking was none other than Takagi.
"You are Takagi!" Svarog turned his head and looked at him. Because of the enormous Imaginary Energy he possessed, Takagi could clearly feel Svarog scanning him. Incidentally, Jean, Lumine, and the others were also scanned. Meanwhile, Seele, Lumine, Paimon, and the others were curiously observing the giant robot. This is the robot Takagi mentioned possesses information related to the Stellaron; the group couldn't help but care.
"We meet again, Clara. You're still so cute," Takagi smiled.
Clara: "Brother Takagi, Mr. Svarog seems to have something to discuss with you."
Takagi: "Yes, I heard that. What do you need me for, Svarog?"
Upon hearing this, Svarog asked directly: "I scanned this fruit, and it doesn't exist in the history of Belobog or even the planet itself. In addition to the power Clara mentioned earlier, and your clothing... could it be that you are not from this planet?"
Although most people in Belobog are unaware that there are civilizations beyond their world, this does not include Svarog. His database clearly records things beyond the planet.
[Kaeya: That's impressive. He figured out Takagi's background so quickly. This Svarog is no ordinary person.]
[Albedo: A robot named Svarog, who seems quite different from the puppets we've seen before.]
[Arataki Itto: Need I say more? This Svarog looks way more handsome, okay?]
[Albedo: I mean his analytical patterns. And his conversations with Clara give the feeling that he possesses some special, human-like emotions.]
[Kaeya: Human emotions? If that's the case, then this robot is even more amazing. Such a powerful robot wouldn't be surprising if it possessed knowledge of Stellarons.]
[Dainsleif: It can instantly determine the origin of the Sunsettia, so it may have a vast amount of knowledge stored in its memory. This might indeed include information about Stellarons.]
[Albert: Don't be so quick to believe; this could be a huge crisis if it gets really bad!]
Svarog's words surprised the Teyvat viewers, as well as Lumine, Jean, and others. Similarly, this also surprised Seele and Clara.
"Brother Takagi, is he not from this world?" Clara said in surprise.
"Someone from outside Belobog? Takagi, what does that mean?" Seele asked, frowning.
"It means exactly what it says, Seele." Takagi smiled at her, then turned to look at Svarog: "As expected of the overseer of the Robot Settlement, you are indeed amazing, Svarog. You were able to discover my origins so quickly."
Svarog: "Tell me why you came into this world, outsider. I need to know your purpose." Outsiders appearing in Belobog, especially as the world nears its end, was something Svarog had to take seriously.
Takagi: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. I'm just here to broaden my friends' horizons."
Svarog: "To broaden your horizons? Then why did you come to the Robot Settlement? Was it also just for that?"
Takagi: "That's right; I want to bring them here to learn about the Stellaron."
As he finished speaking, a red light flashed in Svarog's eyes: "Stellaron... Access blocked while retrieving data! Discussion of the Stellaron without permission: Forbidden!"
Takagi: "I know, I know. Talking about Stellarons is forbidden, so our threat level has increased, right?"
Svarog: "...Outsider, I demand that you tell me your true purpose."
