Shining Starlight, Dazzling Gold

I am a singer of the old era; there is no stage for me to perform in the new era.

But...

The woman who called herself Ende felt the ground shaking violently, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

What's going on? Why did it wake up at this time? It shouldn't be like this; it's been sleeping with me for so long, why...?

"Miss Ende, it's dangerous here. Please leave with us!" Rita helped the dazed Ende up from the ground, only to find that her expression was full of fear, as if she was recalling some terrible past events.

——The dividing line of [Gold]——

At the end of the world, when all things have fallen silent, the singer, shining like gold, slowly walks towards his own curtain call, offering a final song to this era that is being destroyed.

Everything from the past has vanished with civilization, amidst the ruins of decay, yet she continues to sing, as if she will never stop, as if she wants the melody to stretch to the end of time.

That was her significance.

Fame, wealth, aspirations—everything about her was shaped by her singing, so she would entrust everything to her songs.

She is a monument to the era, and has become the era itself.

The fourth of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, Eden, the "Golden One," has resolved to die.

Mobius watched her walk away silently, a nameless sorrow welling up in his heart. At that moment, she was witnessing the destruction of an era and listening to a heavenly sound that could never be heard again.

——The dividing line of [Fleeting Life]——

Cracks appeared in the earth, and 11 islands were lifted up by some unknown force. Seawater continued to flow down, and a colossal creature gradually emerged from the deep sea.

Buildings collapsed one after another, but fortunately everyone had moved outside before that, but it was not safe outside either.

But whoever it is, even Otto, would feel an uncontrollable fear the moment they see it?

Can you lift up a small island?

Kojima Explosive Raven strongly condemns this and says, "Let's temporarily block her signal."

So, can you lift up an entire archipelago?

A certain fairy with a good figure said she could punch him.

In short, this is the current situation.

On a world map, a whale-like creature appears out of nowhere in the ocean, with the Golden Ocean Park appearing as a small dot on its back.

What if we make it the normal size?

The unusually active activation of the Honkai Vision suggests either a collision has occurred in Branch World, or...

Fortunately, she lowered her head and looked directly into the unfathomable sea through the soil and rocks. The next second, blood flowed from her eyes. She covered her severely injured eyes and collapsed into Theresa's arms, trembling uncontrollably.

You might wonder, did she see something terrifying through the Honkai Vision that scared her so much?

The answer is—

I didn't see anything.

The unknown is often the greatest fear.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

"Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, can you hear me? I can't actively summon Feather Crossing Dust right now, I can only use the Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross' technique, the code is: Ascension, hurry up, or you will die, you will definitely die!"

——The dividing line of [**]——

Every performance eventually comes to an end.

Eden raised his beloved gun and slowly pressed the muzzle against his temple.

"I've come to find you, Elysia ..."

Eden whispered, his finger slowly pulling the trigger.

[*********** (A song Eden cannot understand)]

Just as she was about to fire, a song she had never heard before came from afar. It was so beautiful and indescribable that even Eden acknowledged the unknown girl's singing ability.

At a time like this, who would still be singing here? Shouldn't everyone have already entered hibernation pods?

Drawn by her singing, she temporarily abandoned her suicidal thoughts and wanted to meet this unknown singer before she died.

Guided by the song, she traversed the devastated land and arrived at a flat, open space.

The singing was coming from here, but the singer was nowhere to be seen. Just as Eden was wondering, he felt a cold wind blow from behind him.

"I'm sorry, Eden ~"

A chop to the back of her neck struck Eden, and she lost consciousness. Her body fell to the ground, and she was gently held by a pair of hands. "I can't disrupt the original course of history, so I'll have to make do with you for now."

——The dividing line of [Fleeting Life]——

An extremely powerful aura erupted from the girl, and the three people who sensed this aura couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Ende was stunned as she was surrounded by red feathers. Xing, whose aura had changed drastically, noticed that among the familiar auras on her body, the one belonging to [Hua] was rapidly increasing.

"Little Xing?" Theresa, who was closest to her, clearly felt that her daughter's power seemed to have far exceeded the level of the so-called "S-Rank Valkyrie" and was approaching a level that she could not understand.

Rita found her body trembling uncontrollably; it was an uncontrollable instinct, a biological physiological response to fear.

The girl opened her eyes, her sapphire-like pupils coldly scanning the surrounding scene, but a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes when she saw Ende and Theresa.

"Celestial Technique—"

Fortunately, or rather, the immortal, moved his hands rapidly, forming several complex hand seals in an instant. His aura rose again, and a giant yin-yang symbol covering the entire island appeared in the sky. Although it could not be compared with the giant whale that supported the entire archipelago, it was still a behemoth to humans.

"One thought can make you an immortal."

The immortal's body flew upwards, and after passing through the yin-yang symbol, emerged a gray-haired woman in a Daoist robe. Her blue eyes were completely calm, and her long gray hair, held in place by a jade hairpin, cascaded down her back. Her stunning figure could not be concealed even by the simple ancient robes. (Although Yun Mo's clothes didn't look particularly simple either.)

Fu Hua, far away at the St. Freya Academy, suddenly felt like crying for some reason.

Theresa and Rita were stunned by what they saw, partly because they were shocked by the sight of Hsing transforming into a fairy, and partly because they were intimidated by the aura emanating from the fairy.

There was no warmth to be seen on her; she was like a cold, humanoid machine.

Ende looked up at that familiar figure, his lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

"Sword, come!" The immortal brought his index and middle fingers together and pointed into the distance.

Meanwhile, in the secret laboratory of the Fire-Chasing Squad's first base, Tesla had previously borrowed the fragments of the Xuanyuan Sword, intending to study them thoroughly, but no matter how he tested them, there was no reaction whatsoever.

Just as she was feeling disheartened, the dull and lifeless scraps of iron seemed to be reborn, breaking through the incubation tank and automatically recombining in mid-air, and the radiant Xuanyuan Ancient Sword reappeared in the world.

Before Tesla could react to what was happening, the summoned Xuanyuan Sword burst through the door, flew across the corridor and passageway, and finally flew out of the exit, turning into a golden light and disappearing into the sky.

(The Jackal cursed and clicked the down button)

——The dividing line of [Gold]——

When she woke up again, she was on an unfamiliar fishing boat. The fishermen were speaking a language she had never heard before, but Eden didn't know why she could understand it.

She didn't know what had happened, but she knew one thing clearly now.

She is now living in a new era.

When she looked out at the sea, her reflection in the water revealed a woman with black eyes and black hair.

It seems that her power as Fusion Warrior has been stripped away from her.

Eden didn't know what had happened. He heard from the fishermen that they found her in an unfamiliar sea area when they went out to fish. Surprisingly, a dolphin brought her to their boat.

Miracle—that was the only word Eden could think of to describe the strange things that had happened to him.

She had originally wanted to die, but for some reason, she longed to hear that song again and to see the unknown singer.

Eden that she was still alive and in this era.

Eden didn't know why she was so sure, but in any case, she didn't want to die as much anymore.

With her talent, experience accumulated in the previous era, and unstoppable good fortune, she once again became the richest person in this era and gave herself a new name— Ende.

(The English word for Eden is "Eden", which can be rearranged to "ende", which is the Chinese pinyin for "Ende".)

To find that person, she founded the Golden Group, gaining control of the global entertainment industry. Of course, she wouldn't dictate the direction of artistic development in this era; she would only make minor adjustments.

After all, she represents the previous era.

Years later, when she returned to the sea area where she was discovered and built the Golden Ocean Park on the islands in that area, she was shocked to discover something.

The Honkai Beast she Polymerization was named "Vorona," whose true form was a giant aquatic Honkai Beast. It seemed to have separated from her body and was now quietly sleeping on the seabed...

In other words, this archipelago is nothing more than a pile of small stones on "her" back.

Eden fell into deep thought.

Didn't I just Polymerization its genes?

Isn't that something that would only happen if I Artificial Honkai Eruption?

Why are you allowed to appear alone with me?!

Although she was reluctant to believe it, the feeling of being connected to her was undeniable, and she discovered that the separated individual was no longer under her control. In other words, once Vorona, it would deal a devastating blow to current human civilization.

Fortunately, Eden sensed that Vorona's slumber was very stable and that he wouldn't wake up for another few thousand years, which relieved her.

(However, when a certain Jackal came here to extract Honkai Energy, his base was blown up by a certain brat, the extraction machine accidentally overloaded, and accidentally woke him up...)

Even after losing the parts that Artificial Honkai Eruption, her body still retained some of the characteristics of a Fusion Warrior, such as a long lifespan.

Therefore, she has maintained her original appearance and has lived to this day.

——The dividing line of [Fleeting Life]——

The golden giant sword disintegrated into particles, which transformed into the azure "Ruoshui" in the immortal's hands.

"Immortal Technique: Soul-Suppressing Seal"

They're nothing but beasts lacking self-awareness; I can conquer them all by my own strength—

The immortal conjured a massive magic seal and hurled it downwards, completely disregarding Theresa and the others still below. Considering Eden, she slightly deflected the direction of the seal.

It can be suppressed immediately!

Boom!

The priceless mansion was swept away by the shockwave and collapsed on the spot.

Ende, or rather Eden: "..."

If this really is Hua, then let's just forget about it.

Anyway, we can just go back and rebuild one; it won't cost much.

If she is Hua's daughter or descendant, then sell herself; I, Eden, will not mistreat her.

The rich woman, who seemed to have been led astray by some pink fairy, thought to herself.

Hey, I didn't look closely just now, but Hua's figure is much better than before. I'm a little curious about what kind of outstanding man her father is. Also, wasn't she originally Theresa's... son? What's going on here?

Eden discovered the blind spot.

Back to the immortals—

Sensing that immense power, the immortal's expression changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Tsk, the power is too strong to be forcibly controlled. Since that's the case—"

The immortal wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, completely disregarding the severe damage to his body caused by the backlash, and rapidly changed hand seals.

"Taixu Immortal Art: Overturning the Sea into a Prison!"

He continuously squeezed power from his body and sealed it away before Vorona fully awoke.

She is currently unable to fight such a monster, so she can only temporarily seal it away and put it into a deep sleep.

We can't win. Even in this posture, we have no chance of winning in a head-on battle.

A massive magic circle appeared on the sea surface, its area exceeding that of the rising whale.

"You are originally a creature of water, so I will use water as a conduit to seal you here!"

The immortal bit his tongue and spat it onto the Ruoshui. The sword shone with a bright blue light, and the magic array expanded as it slowly sank into the sea.

The whale stopped surfacing and fell asleep again.

The 11 islands at Golden Ocean Park have returned to normal, but they have suffered severe damage and will not be able to reopen without proper repairs.

After doing all this, the immortal exhausted all his power. Before Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu could give the signal, he automatically deactivated his transformation and fell down. The dim [Ruoshui] turned back into the original Xuanyuan Sword, and then into a golden necklace that was placed around the girl's neck, pushing Judah back onto her wrist.

P. S.: I'm wearing the Jilin Leg Ring and the red Leg Ring that Xing wore at the beginning, so now I have all the pendants. It's just a bit of a hassle to take them off one by one when I take a shower.

The loyal Judah didn't care about any of this, automatically switched to flight mode to catch her, and delivered her to her stunned Silly Mom's arms.

Rita frowned as she looked at the devastated island. Such a serious incident was going to be difficult to explain to the Lord Bishop ...

Just then, Eden gently patted her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I'll keep this under wraps. No one will leak it out."

Rita had no idea that Eden, who seemed gentle and kind, was currently contemplating selling himself—cough, a work contract—in his mind.

Author's Note—

The idol storyline was added mainly because Sachi's skills were improving too quickly, so it needed to be toned down, and also because he seemed to be experiencing some psychological issues...

Of course, the author's quirky sense of humor also plays a part in it~

I'm also looking forward to the Valkyrie and Kamen Rider storylines (which will run concurrently with the Idol storyline).

In this volume, I'm fortunate to experience new growth (no angst, cough, no major angst, please enjoy).

Do you remember Xing's values? He doesn't care about lives that are unrelated to him, but when he actually raises a weapon, he feels a pang of reluctance in his heart.

This is hypocrisy, or so he himself believes.
