Jellyfish Ascends to Heaven, Magic Knows No Bounds!

In the vast sea of stars, two powerful beings engaged in a fierce battle, fighting until they reached the edge of the universe, where even the Great Dao was obliterated.

Note: No hyperbole is used here.

Fortunately, he watched the battle as an observer, his expression gradually changing from surprise and fear to numbness.

"Not only Zero, but Minus is here too... I feel like I'm going to have to work overtime again. Wait, when I fight this thing, will I have the power of the world to buff me? Does this count as a world collision?"

Minus, a corrupted Zero from a suspected parallel universe, has an appearance similar to Stardust, but her overall style is darker and more terrifying. If Zero is the Creation Goddess, then Minus is the goddess of World Destroyer.

Note: Five-dimensional fans affectionately call Minus "Jianjian".

Seeing Luming's eyes glazed over as she stood there blankly, Stardust frantically patting her companion's cheek, "LaLa! (Why are you suddenly unresponsive? Don't scare me!)"

No matter how much she patted, the other party didn't react at all. Frustrated, Stardust had no choice but to carry her to a room to hide. On TV, monsters would definitely appear in places like this, so she had to be careful.

In the pitch-black underwater ancient city, the only sources of light around Stardust were her own hair and the shimmering ornaments on Luming's body. Frightened by the lifeless atmosphere, Stardust clung tightly to her companion. Whenever she sensed something was wrong, she would open a wormhole and take Luming away from there!

"LaLa?" The ahoge (cowlick) on Stardust's head glowed brightly with blue light, and she sensed that the lost Water Element was gradually approaching her.

After hesitating for a moment, Stardust picked up his Metatron Cube, using its light to illuminate himself. He looked back at Luming one night with lingering affection, left a mark on her so that he could teleport back to her at any time, and then left with a look back every few steps.

"LaLa... (Fortunately, she was protected by a shield in this position and wouldn't be harmed...)"

Stardust mustered her courage and explored this prehistoric site alone. The small Metatron Cube shone with brilliant golden light in her hands, like a beacon in this seaside city.

"LaLa! (Don't be afraid, leave immediately if you encounter enemies!)"

There is no seawater in the underwater ancient city. The invisible barrier around it isolates it from the world. The air quality is unknown, but stardust doesn't need to breathe.

While encouraging herself in her heart, Xingchen slowly moved her feet, walking further and further away, getting closer and closer to the center of the ancient city.

Black boots clicked crisply on the ancient floor. Gloves gripped tightly her gloved hands, which clutched a star-shaped Starlight Octahedron. Stardust looked around anxiously. She could sense the Water Element nearby.

Suddenly, Stardust stopped in his tracks.

At the corner not far ahead, a small pink jellyfish peeked out from the other side. Stardust had seen this kind of creature on TV, but there was no water here. How did the jellyfish manage to float at a height that was almost level with itself?

Stardust silently prepared to throw the cube. Just then, the jellyfish moved, peeking out from the corner. Due to the darkness and the limited illumination of the cube, Stardust could only vaguely see two mesmerizing blue lights shining from beneath the jellyfish, like the eyes of some unknown creature.

"LaLa! (Monster!)" Stardust, in a fit of terror, threw her cube with all her might, hitting the unidentified creature beneath the jellyfish with perfect accuracy. The girl's scream and the sound of the object hitting the ground echoed in the silent sea city.

"It hurts!!!"

Stardust, who was about to open a wormhole to escape, froze. Had she just heard a human voice?

Thinking of retrieving the cube and checking out the situation, Stardust cautiously walked to the corner, peeked out, and saw a blue-haired girl who looked about his age covering her head, wailing and rolling on the ground.

The girl was dressed rather lightly, wearing only a short dress and a pair of high-heeled sandals. She had jewelry on her wrists and neck, and her dress featured a marine motif.

What caught everyone's attention most was the pink jellyfish headdress on her head. Only then did Stardust understand what had happened earlier.

Filled with remorse, Stardust picked up the cube from the ground, wiped the dust off, and then went to check on her injuries. "LaLa? (I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?)"

The resentful Blue-haired Girl, seeing the "culprit" approaching, scrambled backward in terror, yelling, "Don't come any closer, or I'll get rough!"

Although these were threatening words, combined with the girl's naturally cute temperament and adorable little tiger teeth, Stardust only thought she was being coquettish.

"LaLa~ (Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. By the way, my Water Element seems to be on you?)" Stardust tried to soothe her emotions and slowly closed the distance between them.

"What are you saying? Don't come near me!" The trembling blue-haired girl turned and ran, but Stardust calmly snapped her fingers, and the girl fell headfirst into the wormhole she had just opened.

Stardust stood with her hands on her hips, a smug expression on her face. "LaLa~ (Little sister, you think you can compete with me? Go back and train for another 50,000 years~) LaLa? (Why do I think she's my sister?)"

Stardust scratched his head in confusion. "Oh well," he thought, "I'll just bring her back and question her properly. Wait, didn't I set the exit to this side? Why hasn't the wormhole on the other side appeared yet?"

Suddenly, Stardust slapped his forehead. He had been in such a hurry that he had said the wrong thing!

—What is the theme of the book at the beginning?—

(Looking forward to the Bonded Weaponry of the Five-Dimensional Sisters!)

Luming awoke from that lonely memory, shaking her throbbing head. Stardust's memories were incomplete, probably due to the hasty splitting of Zero into the five of them.

In short, the information currently available is that due to a previous world collision in the Honkai Branch World, Zero and Minus were imbued with the power of the divine messengers, came from their own world to this place, and started a battle.

The ending is that Zero exhausted his power to seal Minus. This memory is very incomplete. She doesn't know how Zero split later or what caused it to split. Now that she has encountered Stardust, she will definitely encounter the other four of the Five-Dimensional Sisters. She will find them slowly. This is the responsibility she has to shoulder as the current Native Order Emissary of the Honkai Branch World.

However, cleaning up the mess left by her ex is a really unpleasant experience. Fortunately, she has a feeling that she might have to fight Minus.

After gathering her thoughts, Luming opened her eyes. Just as she was about to continue searching for the Water Element with Xing Chen, she found that Xing Chen had disappeared. In her daze, a wormhole opened above her head, and the bewildered Blue-haired Girl fell down, landing right in her arms.

Looking at the slightly confused little jellyfish, Luming's first thought wasn't about its identity, but rather a sigh.

Wendy, you can't blame me for this. I can't even control my feminine charm... It seems like I'm attractive to both men and women now.

Hey, judging by the outfit, is that Haiyi? The fourth oldest of the Five-Dimensional Sisters, and the second oldest in terms of figure?

PS: Fans of the five dimensions determine the ages based on the official character designs. Stardust is the third oldest, with an official age of 16 (?), Haiyi 15 (?).

Noticing the wound on her forehead caused by a sharp object and her terrified expression, Luming smiled gently at her, lightly touching the wound with her jade-like finger, and cast a healing spell.

"... Thank you." Feeling the coolness and comfort on her wound, Haiyi thanked her while glancing around anxiously. Had that guy not caught up with them?

Seeing that she had calmed down, Luming thought for a moment, took out a roasted chicken leg and placed it in front of her. Haiyi's eyes lit up immediately, and she grabbed the chicken leg and started eating it with gusto.

This woman is so kind!

Haiyi's favorability +++

After calming Haiyi down, Luming prepared to go find Stardust. Just then, the wormhole opened again, and the equally bewildered Stardust baby landed in her arms, one on each side of Haiyi.

Six eyes met, and all they could see was utter bewilderment.

—In the process of self-introduction and explanation—

"So that's how it is. Stardust mistook Haiyi for a monster and attacked her. Come on, apologize to her." Luming fairly criticized the aggrieved Stardust, and Haiyi didn't pursue the matter much; she was a kind-hearted person.

"So, have you ever seen Stardust's hair? It's a glowing ponytail. Stardust said he sensed its power from you," Luming asked Haiyi after resolving the conflict.

Haiyi tried to recall for a while, then shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't been awake for more than a few days. My mind is a mess, and I can't remember anything at all."

"Haven't been awake for more than a few days?" Luming keenly grasped the key point in Haiyi's words.

Haiyi nodded, pointing to the enormous palace in the center of the ancient city. "That's where I woke up, and I've been staying here ever since. Where did you come from?"

"LaLa! (From outside!)" Stardust replied enthusiastically, but Haiyi couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Watching this scene, Luming frowned. It was highly likely that Stardust's Water Element had been absorbed by the sleeping Haiyi, which was why she had awakened. Therefore, the separation of the Four Elements from Stardust was not accidental at all; it was very possible that after Stardust returned to Earth from its cosmic slumber, the elements automatically sought out their new master...

But why can't Stardust speak, while Haiyi can speak Earth languages right after waking up? Where did she learn that?

Haiyi voice was different, roughly understood what Stardust meant through its gestures. "From the outside? So there's another world behind that barrier... Can you take me out? There's nothing here, it's pitch black and so boring..."

Indeed, it's easy to see that Haiyi is a lively girl, and being locked up here is truly torture.

"But..." Haiyi's tone shifted, "I have a feeling that there's some mission that hasn't been completed yet, and I absolutely cannot leave here before that. It's strange."

"Let's go check out that palace then. Maybe we can find some clues." Luming pressed Haiyi's shoulder and winked at Xing Chen. The other party understood and snapped his fingers, and a wormhole opened up beneath their feet.

"Again?!" Amid Haiyi's groans, the three of them were teleported to the top of the palace and began freefall. Just when Haiyi thought she was going to be smashed into a jellyfish, the Magical Girl Lady picked her and Stardust up in her arms, making her feel more and more like an old father taking his daughter out to play. This must be just her imagination, right?

Well, at most it's the older sister taking the younger sister out to play.

Stardust awkwardly turned her head away, not daring to meet Haiyi's resentful little eyes and the jellyfish on her head. "Sorry, teleporting to places too far or unfamiliar can cause slight errors."

PS: Haiyi's jellyfish hair ornament is alive; according to the setting, it seems to be her true form.

Following Haiyi's guidance, the three entered the palace without incident, but Haiyi didn't think they would find anything she hadn't discovered.

External cheat (scratch that), Honkai Vision, activated!

Following the trajectory of the same blue particles on Haiyi's body, Luming's footsteps stopped in front of an ancient stone platform. Her gaze fell on a strange groove on the stone platform. Would it need some kind of key to open?

Noticing the pattern representing the Metatron Cube near the groove, Luming seemed thoughtful. She turned to look at Haiyi, who was kicking pebbles with Stardust, and asked, "Do you have a cube similar to Stardust's?"

Haiyi was taken aback, and pulled out a regular icosahedron emitting blue light from his chest. It was the one representing the Water Element in the Metatron Cube.

Stardust glanced at Haiyi's bulging fleshy mound wrapped in her clothes, then at Luming Lady had taken her in, and then looked down at herself. Although she wasn't small... how come they were so big?!

A red-grass chicken suddenly sneezed.

The shimmering Metatron Cube fit perfectly into the groove of the stone platform, and an opening appeared with a rumble. The petrified Haiyi stupidly accepted the icosahedron returned by Luming and was carried away by the enthusiastic Stardust. Why didn't I think of putting this broken stone in there?

The road wasn't long, and they soon reached its end. The three entered a stone chamber, where the numerous and intricate murals on the walls caught Luming's attention.

Click~

I picked up my magenta camera and took a picture first, then I'll take it back and study it slowly.

Haiyi walked toward the staff stuck in the middle of the stone chamber. The moment he touched it, his ocean-blue pupils widened rapidly, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Stardust caught Haiyi when she lost her balance and fell backward, asking her with concern. Haiyi didn't have time to explain and shouted to the two of them, "Get out of here quickly! That guy is coming soon!"

Although they didn't understand what Haiyi meant, Stardust still waved and summoned a wormhole to teleport the three of them to the outer perimeter. The once dark ruins were now as bright as day. The three of them endured the discomfort and looked up. An enormous jellyfish was lying on the barrier outside the sea city, with countless fine threads touching the surface of the barrier and emitting faint sparks.

"Stop it! Otherwise, this place will be completely destroyed!" Haiyi's previous innocent demeanor vanished, replaced by an extremely serious expression. She gripped the staff she had brought from the stone chamber tightly, and the Metatron Cube in her hand emitted an unprecedentedly strong light, faintly forming a combat suit on her body.

"LaLaLa~ (Don't be nervous, I'll take care of that big guy~)" Stardust lazily patted Haiyi's shoulder, interrupting her sister's transformation.

"Huh?" Under Haiyi's puzzled gaze, an enormous blade of light emerged from the other side of the barrier and sliced through the jellyfish's body without any obstruction.

Honkai Blade, Jellyfish!

Under the watchful eye of Haiyi, who had undergone secondary petrification, the two massive halves of the stone drifted away into the distance with the help of the seawater, where they were eagerly devoured by other deep-sea creatures.

"... That's it?"

The Magical Girl Lady had just returned from the wormhole and whose lights hadn't even turned red, looked at the AFK character, who was now radiating intense light, and sighed silently. Thankfully, it was just one person chanting; she really didn't want to recite those long, embarrassing, cringeworthy lines a second time.

By shattering the petrified layer on Haiyi's surface, Luming teleported her and Haiyi back home... to the swimming pool.

"Don't treat me like a jellyfish!"

"LaLa! (Sorry for sending this to the wrong address!)"

Epilogue—

"Haiyi, by the way, what's the name of that ancient city?"

"Oh, Atlantis."

"What?!"

Xing shook his head regretfully. It was a pity. In order not to disturb the peace of Haiyi's hometown, he should keep the honor of being the first person to discover Atlantis for now.

Author's Note—

Sorry, I'm going to introduce a very long new main storyline today, so this chapter is a bit rushed. The next chapter will explain Haiyi's behavior in the latter half.

Five-dimensional fans should know what's going on.

The next episode is from an anime series whose title I don't know! It's called "Let's Duel!"

A new type of card Yugi suddenly became popular in Sky Dome City, and our Idol Lady was honored to be invited to shoot a promotional advertisement.

But beneath those few thin playing cards lies a hidden crisis...

Come on, stake your deck, your fortune, your soul... even everything, and let's have a thrilling duel!
