Fate's Slave - Shadow Slave X Honkai Star Rail

Chapter 78: Reawakening (Rewritten)



"...And that’s how I got here."

Sunny explained to Clara his purpose in being in the Robot Settlement. He told her about their need to talk to Svarog, as well the Stellaron that was the source of the Eternal Freeze. The things he described sounded ridiculous when the target of his explanations was a child, but she seemed to grasp the strange concepts he talked about with relative ease.

Once again, Clara displayed a strange maturity and intelligence — one that didn’t suit a child her age. Although he wanted to simply dismiss it as a result of her life up until this point, it wouldn’t have made much sense. Despite his upbringing, Sunny wasn’t even remotely close to her on that front when he was her age. Even now, he admitted that he still retained quite a bit of childishness — hidden behind his cynical and cautious attitude.

Her behavior was an abnormality that stood out to him. It wasn’t that Clara wasn’t a child whatsoever, as shown by her reaction when Sunny caught her off guard. Instead, she seemed to have a switch that is turned on during certain situations. A self-defense mechanism of sorts.

At least, that was what he deduced from what he has seen of her. Sunny didn’t know Clara well enough that he would understand the specifics of how her mind worked.

Once he was done explaining everything, he eyed the Ascended Soul Shards that she clutched to her chest. He didn’t bother asking if she was the one who enhanced the automatons or not, since it was quite clear to him.

As a Transcendent, her Aspect was able to do things that were incomparable to an Awakened or Ascended version of her. Based on what he had seen while fighting the large automaton back in the mine, he could deduce at least two of her abilities.

The first of her known Aspect Abilities allowed her to use Soul Shards as fuel to augment automatons. It was arguable whether or not this was simply the manner in which she decided to use her Aspect, or if it was intrinsically linked to machinery. If it was the former, then that meant that there was more versatility when it came to her use of Soul Shards.

This Ability required an excess of preparation, which immediately denoted her Aspect as one that required planning to use. She would need to collect Soul Shards before she could augment anything, and she would need to have robots to enhance — if this Ability applied to other things, then the same rules would apply.

He wondered what the limitations of the Ability was. Previously, the robot contained five Ascended Soul Shards. Was Clara only able to make use of Soul Shards that were equivalent to her Rank or below, or would a Supreme Soul Shard be usable? There didn’t seem to be any limit on the amount of Soul Shards... at least, she should be able to use seven to match up to a Titan.

Her second known Ability was that she could repair the structure of the robots. The speed in which this occurred was overwhelming, and meant that fights would be extended unless a decisive attack was able to be inflicted. Dan Heng had been able to shut one down though the use of electricity, which revealed a loophole in their regeneration. They could be defeated through short-circuiting.
