Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 035

「“I get it! It’s the Invisible Man!” Xing suddenly realized.」

「“…” Dan Heng sighed, shaking his head and saying, “It’s also possible that I’m too sensitive. Anyway, let’s rest early and recharge for tomorrow’s negotiations.”」

「The group returned to their respective rooms to rest. After a day of hard work, everyone was exhausted. Lying on the soft beds, they contentedly drifted off to sleep.」

「In their dreams, a faint, murmuring female voice echoed. This voice seemed to travel through endless time and distant space, gently reverberating in this silent and mysterious realm.」

「“Cocoilia… Cocoilia…”」

「“Who are you? No—what are you?”」

「The suddenly emerging girl’s voice was full of fear. Even in the pitch-black void, one could imagine the helpless and terrified expression on her face.」

「“We are allies… allies of the guardians who have accompanied them for generations.”」

「“What… do you want?”」

「“To rebuild… this dying world.” The ethereal voice gradually became clear, each word carrying a resolute weight, “To help you… realize [your wish].”」

“To actually grant wishes… this Stellaron is quite good.” Saitama picked up a steaming beef ball with his chopsticks and took a satisfying bite.

“Genos, if the Stellaron could help you realize your wish, what would you wish for?”

“Me?”

Genos, who was doing housework in the kitchen, neatly cut a beef tendon into small pieces and meticulously arranged them on a plate. Hearing his teacher’s question, Genos pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, “I would refuse directly, Saitama-sensei. Accepting this kind of help without a reason often leads to troublesome consequences.”

Genos thought of the monster cells brought about by the Dragon-level monster that appeared not long ago—it was said that eating them could greatly increase one’s fighting power, and even the Swordsmen’s Association couldn’t resist the temptation, completely transforming into monsters after taking them.

This Stellaron that tempted Cocoilia seemed to be the same kind of thing.

“I don’t believe there is such a thing as a free gift in this world. As for wishes…” Genos looked up at Saitama-sensei, who was feasting in front of the hot pot, his eyes filled with longing, “I hope that one day I can become as strong as you, sensei. Other than that, I have no other wishes.”

“…Besides, I don’t want to rely too much on others to become stronger.”

“Speaking of which, if the Stellaron appeared on Earth, would you accept its help, sensei?” Genos was curious.

“Hmm… probably.”

Saitama blew on the heat rising from the beef tendon and seriously considered, “The price of beef in the supermarket is rising sharply now. If I don’t take advantage of the Saturday discount, it will be quite expensive. If the Stellaron can really help me… I would probably wish for the supermarket to have discounts all seven days of the week, so I can eat beef hot pot every day.”

“By the way, Genos… when is Dr. Kuseno coming again?”

Picking up the last piece of fatty beef roll on the plate, Saitama began to miss the Wagyu beef that Dr. Kuseno had brought during his visit last time—the beef he brought had clear marbling and a milky aroma, not the cheap stuff you can easily buy at a regular supermarket.

“Hmm? Sensei, you’re looking for the doctor…”

As if struck by inspiration, Genos stopped halfway through his sentence, not saying it directly.

He looked at the empty plates on the table and fell into deep thought.

…Saitama-sensei actually wants to see the doctor?

Could it be…! Sensei has noticed the flaws in his current machine and wants to invite Dr. Kuseno to provide targeted modification suggestions to make him stronger?

No wonder sensei hasn’t commented on his recent hero activities. Is he secretly gathering opinions to summarize and give feedback to the doctor?

Genos suddenly understood.

Not only did he look at Saitama with more respect and admiration, but even the hand that was wiping the plates became more nimble.

—Indeed! Following Saitama-sensei’s training is the wisest thing to do!

“Don’t worry, sensei! I will contact Dr. Kuseno immediately and have him visit you tomorrow!”

「Early in the morning, Xing was awakened by March 7th’s knocking on the door. Xing yawned and walked out of the room, finding that both of their expressions were not good.」

「“A group of Silvermane Guards are at the entrance of the inn, but they don’t seem to be friendly.”」

「March 7th said with worry, her heart still pounding, “If they were here to welcome us, the atmosphere would be too heavy.”」

「Dan Heng’s gaze turned to the rows of guards in silver armor downstairs, and he sighed, “Let’s go meet them first. There’s no use guessing here.”」

「Downstairs, the Silvermane Guards had been waiting for a long time. When the three members of the Astral Express appeared, they menacingly pointed their spears at them one by one, “You! Commander Bronya is waiting for you below. Go see her, and don’t try any tricks!”」

「“Are we… in big trouble?” March 7th already had a bad premonition.」

「Down the stairs was the gray-haired girl Bronya, whom they had met once at the Qliphort Fortress yesterday. At this moment, she was holding a spear in her hand, her expression serious, completely different from when they met at the Qliphort Fortress yesterday.」

「“I am Bronya Rand, acting commander of the Silvermane Guards. In the name of the most noble Amber Lord, and by order of the Grand Guardian Cocoilia Rand, I have come to arrest the infiltrators who intend to incite rebellion.”」

「Bronya said sternly, “Please give up your futile resistance and come with me.”」

「“Wait, wait a minute! This is not what we agreed on! She clearly said she would invite us to discuss important matters…” March 7th tried hard to argue.」

「Dan Heng, however, had an expression as if he was used to it, saying calmly, “…This is a planned betrayal, no doubt.”」

——

During dinner, Denji pushed the vegetables that Power didn’t eat onto his own plate while staring at the light screen and chewing on the vegetable leaves.

This kind of betrayal scene… is good for eating.

“That Dan Heng guy’s emotions are so stable. Is he often betrayed?”

“I haven’t seen the previous episodes, how would I know?” Power said unhappily, “But if I were there, I would have killed them all, right? I hate being betrayed the most.”

“Denji, what would you do if you were him?” Power poked Denji’s cheeks, which were bulging with food, “Just so you know, if you dare to betray the Astral Express, I’ll kill you first!”

“Hmm…”

Denji stared blankly at the perfect curves of Bronya’s chest, which could be described as a handful, swallowed the vegetables in his mouth, and had a very serious expression on his face.

“If she’s willing to let me touch them, betrayal… isn’t impossible.”
