As the gentle steam rose, a whistle echoed from afar; it was the arrival of Jun City at this Station for a rest. Even from thousands of meters high in the sky, the sound of the whistle could be heard.
"It's Iron Fortress from Golden Station!" On the watchtower of Diamond Station, the guard confirmed Jun City's status and called down to the crowd below, "Jun City is fine. Lower the drawbridge and let them through!"
The clattering iron wheels slowly rolled along the tracks, and soon after, they passed over the drawbridge, entering their current destination: Diamond Station.
"Nameless... as long as we find that master, we can become human again!" said a boy named Ikoma to the girl beside him.
Being regarded as monsters by everyone else, the two were relegated to the last carriage, enjoying the highest level of treatment.
Nameless nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Become human again? Would she no longer be able to fight like she could now?
Should she let go of such an opportunity?
If this world were free of Kabaneri, she wouldn't hesitate or waver. Losing her power to become human would only mean that humans would die at the hands of Kabaneri.
After inspection, those who disembarked from Iron Fortress split into two teams: one headed for the lord's mansion, while the other gathered supplies within the Station.
"This Station feels strange!" Nameless observed coldly. She had seen many Stations before, but none had such vitality; it felt as if they were living in peaceful times.
"I heard this Station has divine beings descending and showing miracles!" someone in the team remarked, shock evident on his face as he struggled to comprehend what he had heard.
"Divine beings? Are there really divine beings?" Nameless muttered curiously. Her words caught the attention of a passerby—a woman holding a child. She took a few steps forward and excitedly said to everyone, "Of course there are divine beings! Even the Messenger of the Gods is here; they live up there, on that white cloud!"
Everyone looked up in the direction pointed by the woman. High above, there indeed was a white cloud supporting a strange structure, hazy and ethereal, almost unreal.
"This must be an illusion," Ikoma said as he rubbed his eyes; nothing changed before him.
The woman chuckled lightly and walked away with her child. Her actions left everyone momentarily stunned. In that brief moment, another whistle sounded as a new Jun City arrived at this Station.
The arrival of Jun City was not as desolate as that of Iron Fortress; as it rolled into the Station, it was met with cheers.
"It's the Hunting Party...!" A voice exclaimed, filled not with fear, but with surprise.
"Hunting Party? What is that?" Ikoma and his companions looked toward the approaching Jun City in confusion.
Among the crowd, Nameless's gaze flickered, fixated on the slowly advancing Jun City.
"The Hunting Party is an independent organization, a military force dedicated to eliminating Kabaneri. Wherever they go, Kabaneri are eradicated, reclaiming territories taken by monsters for humanity." Someone nearby explained with excitement.
Cheers erupted as countless people crowded at the entrance of the Station, eagerly awaiting the arrival of this legendary group.
At that moment, a gentle breeze swept through, and a shadow fell before Jun City. As it slowly turned to face the crowd, it revealed a chilling visage and addressed the throng surrounding the team: "Monsters bearing monsters, this place does not welcome your arrival."
Monster Teacher landed before Jun City, blocking the path, leaving the Indigenous people of the Station bewildered.
Why would a messenger of the divine obstruct these human heroes?
"Monsters? You're the real monster!" Someone from the blocked Hunting Party scoffed, their eyes reflecting surprise and wariness at this strange creature that had appeared without warning.
"Eek... My senses tell me there are many bad things aboard that train, and these things will anger Chen Fan. So you'd best leave this place; otherwise, the consequences will be dire!"
Monster Teacher's tone softened slightly, excitement gleaming in its eyes. It had sworn not to harm humans, but those before it were not human; even if it killed them, it wouldn't break its vow!
"Apologies to you esteemed members of the Hunting Party, but Diamond Station does not accept your presence!" The samurai standing nearby grew increasingly vigilant.
They knew who Chen Fan was—the divine messenger's mention made it clear. Since something displeasing to the Divine One existed within Jun City, they could not allow it entry.
"Are you serious?" A handsome man with long hair met the gazes of the samurai. What was going on at this Station?
A strange creature's words actually convinced the warriors of Station?
"Sorry, even if Lord of the City knows, he won't oppose our decision!" The leading warrior captain said, his tone unusually resolute, showing no sign of wavering.
"What if we insist on going in?" someone from the Hunting Party asked.
"Huh?" At that moment, Monster Teacher let out a light exclamation, his figure flashing as he darted into the midst of the Hunting Party. Before anyone could react, he seized one person and coldly demanded, "How did Teacher Wu Jian's sidearm end up with you? Answer honestly, or I'll kill you!"
In such a sudden turn of events, by the time everyone reacted, Monster Teacher had already twisted the person's arm, a fierce killing intent radiating from him that shook the entire area.
However, despite having his arm broken, the man held his ground and did not scream.
"Tentacle Monster, you won't get anything useful by interrogating like this!" Tony remarked with a laugh as he arrived.
The Floating Fortress hovered above, not only for tranquility but also to maintain better communication with Satellite. When J.A.R.V.I.S. noticed Monster Teacher's actions, the scene below naturally caught the attention of Tony and others.
"Iron Man, you come help me ask. Teacher Wu Jian is an excellent teacher; if something happens to him, his students will be very sad!" With tears welling up in his eyes, Monster Teacher pulled out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and began to choke up.
The sudden shift in tone left everyone momentarily speechless.
"This is my newly invented Nano Robot. Just inject it into your body, hehehe!" Tony held up a vial containing the substance that had previously made vampires weep and curse.
"Who are you? Why are you targeting us?" Yumema glared fiercely at those around her and scolded, "As heroes of humanity, is this how you treat us?"
"Are you human?" Monster Teacher suddenly appeared in front of Yumema, one of his tentacles resting on her shoulder as he smiled coldly. "You'd better keep quiet until we find Teacher Wu Jian, or I might just kill you!"
Under the torment of the Nano Robot, the middle-aged man with a broken arm could no longer endure the pain and revealed what he knew.
"Tentacle Monster, the Teacher Wu Jian you're looking for is on the train. Go find him; there might still be a chance to save him!" Tony shrugged. Raising his armored arm, he opened his palm to reveal a cannon hole and said with a nonchalant smile, "You'd better behave; I'm not as easy to deal with as Tentacle Monster!
A beam of light shot from Tony's palm, silently melting the iron tracks beneath, releasing a wave of intense heat that pushed back the gathered crowd.
The heroes of humanity faced off against the divine messenger, leaving everyone bewildered and unsure of whom to assist—
Before Tony could finish, less than a second later, Monster Teacher reappeared before the crowd, cradling a man in its arms. Wiping the sweat from its forehead, it squeaked, "Fortunately, he's not dead, but he's not far from it."
Suddenly, a soft gasp broke the tension, drawing everyone's attention.
"The Divine One... it's the Divine One..."
People looked up to see a figure descending from above, floating downwards. A book shimmered with radiant light above his head, but what stood out most was his appearance.
Golden tousled hair, dark purple eyes, and an aura unlike any other—
Ignoring the gazes directed at him, Chen Fan examined the scene for a moment before curiously asking, "How did this guy end up in such dire straits?"
It was known that anyone who could come to this world was an elite from the military, and these elite soldiers wielding Technological Weapons had been thoroughly beaten by the Indigenous beings of another realm. It was nothing short of a miracle!
What could have happened to bring him to such a near-death state?
At that moment, a loud crash echoed from the rear of the train. Immediately after, a yellow Tentacle shot out from an opening with incredible speed, striking Chen Fan—who had been observing Ujian Weichen—sending him flying through the air.
