Welt

The wise and experienced former Anti-Entropy Sovereign who inherited the name of the world — Welt. He has saved Earth from annihilation time and time again. After the incident with St. Fountain came to a close, Welt had no choice but to venture with the initiator of the incident to the other side of the portal. Perhaps even he did not expect the new journey nor companions that awaited him there.

On the way to the portal, Welt took out a pen and started outlining a sketch. For the eight years prior to that moment, he'd been repeating this job. Going back further in time, he would construct objects in a different way, as long as the images could be pictured in his mind. But he could never regard that as "creation," because they were just the way the original is. Those had nothing to do with his mind. This is just the duty of the man who inherited the name of the world. If the world needs him to save it, then he will become that hero without hesitation. He has fallen down many times and been mocked even more, but he will always stand before everyone either in the past or the future — he will never change. Only now, he finds himself embarking on a new journey.

When Welt returned to that dangerous cosmic battlefield, he could feel his blood start to boil once more. Even when his spaceship lost power and was drifting aimlessly through space, he joked casually with his companion: "The end of one adventure is often the beginning of another." When a passing-by Himeko managed to save them and informed them that they couldn't go back home, he kept up his jokes: "This is like something out of a cartoon, and it's far too coincidental to be real." Life really is this coincidental. Since he can't find his way back home and can't live out a peaceful existence for the time being, why doesn't he take up arms again and fight? This time, there is no burden or destiny to bear. Everything shall obey his own will

These days, Welt rarely fights, and it remains unknown whether or not he retains the strength from his heyday. Gravity manipulation has remained his usual combat means, ever since his cane was transformed from the Star of Eden. He suppresses his enemies with gravity, even creating a kind of mini-black hole — what he considered his everyday powers are met with amazement by the youngsters on the Express. "Mr. Yang's incredible, amazing!" "If you need help with anything, Trailblazer, go ask Mr. Yang." "You need to take turns. Let him rest a little while..." He is shocked to realize that his carelessness and surety are the results of his countless experiences, marks of the relentless passage of time he had endured. However, the youths aboard the Express are like blank pieces of paper, writing out their own lives. What kind of responsibilities should he take on in their lives? He couldn't help but think of the names of people throughout his life who had helped him before.

— Welt's Log ██/██/████. ███'s relationship with the protagonists: █—███'s sparkling personality is just like the protagonist in a cartoon. Go for it! ███ — A lively youth. I hope she can keep being imaginative, and not feel guilty even if she stumbles. Youths are always going to make mistakes, and ███ will be able to support her. ██ — A reliable youth. There's no need to worry about him. I hope he can chat more with ███, but if he doesn't want to, then that's fine. ██ — I can trust this companion with my life, ███ believes she will make the right decision. ██ — A common character in cartoons. Seemingly just a normal creature, but actually possesses frighteningly powerful abilities and a complicated background. Note: If I ever get back home, consider making a cartoon out of this.

Hi, I'm Welt Yang. If there's something you need help with, you can come find me anytime.

Hm? Still half asleep? Don't force yourself. You should get some more rest.

Can't sleep? I understand — inspiration always comes knocking in the small hours. It's hard to ignore, right?

I was an animator for eight years — my life was pretty routine. I guess it was a little dull compared with adventuring, but work is a very worthwhile thing. It brings dreams to life.

*sigh* It's a long story, and it involves a lot of people and incidents that everyone would like to forget about, haha. Best not to talk about it. In essence, I got lost in the universe, but was fortunate enough to come across Himeko driving the Express.

Oh, there's a lot to say there. They only aired that series on my home world — I don't know if there's anywhere else in the universe that'd have it... I can use my mimicry power to show you a few episodes, but I can't guarantee the resolution.

Researching history and producing animations... I'd say they go hand in hand.

Y'know Trailblazer, you remind me of the main character in a cartoon or something — you seem to attract companions out of thin air... *sigh* I hope you don't mind me saying that. It's just... it seems like my own chances of going on an adventure have plummeted again...

My home was corroded by a force known as Honkai, but that hasn't stopped it from being a warm and beautiful world.

Do you know how the followers of Qlipoth the Preservation became the Interastral Peace Corporation? The Aeon wanted to build a wall, and humanity started searching for building materials so they could follow in Qlipoth's footsteps... it's pretty funny when you think about it.

March is curious about everything, and she's always getting me to do combat poses. She thinks I pull them off pretty well, apparently. You think so too? Hmm...

He's safe. I know he has his doubts... but he's one of the crew now. Himeko and I won't let anyone harm him.

Himeko's the kind of person that... gives off her own light. Even though we're traveling across the train's old route, you can see Himeko's dreams flashing before her eyes when you look at her. It's almost as if she's been on the train from the very beginning — always moving starward.

Pom-Pom's always there to lend a helping hand, but I'd refrain from teasing them if I were you. The last person that did that...

There is a quote I like very much that I would like to share with him: "The cosmos is vast beyond compare, containing an infinite number of possibilities. An individual's fate shouldn't be limited to a single path ordained by heaven."

New adventures, new friends... Great, isn't it?

The passion of yesteryear isn't all that returned...

In the immense sea of stars, we too will leave our mark.

After spending so much time with everyone, I feel like I'm starting to age backwards.

As the protagonist of your own story, it's up to you to overcome and forge ahead.

I don't often get the chance to fight alongside you, Himeko. It's time to show everyone what we can do.

Having you here gives me peace of mind, Dan Heng. Still, best not to push yourself too hard.

Having you here gives me peace of mind, Dan Heng. Still... I'll stop nagging.

Youthful energy is a good thing... but I'd appreciate a heads-up before you make any moves, March.

Seems you need to experience some hardship.

Stay calm.

Leave the rest to me.

You can still walk away.

Better make a choice.

Stand down.

Calm your body and mind.

I won't go easy on you!

I'm fine.

That won't stop me...

You know nothing of the weight behind this power.

Witness the stars shatter before you... Survive or be destroyed, there is no other choice.

I'll leave the rest... to you...

I can't relax just yet.

Timely treatment.

Stay.

The galaxy is vast beyond compare.

Interesting.

This will definitely come in handy.

You don't see these every day...

Well figured out.

Now, that's talent.

Enemy ahead... No harm in trying.

The next destination...? Up to you.
