Satou Yunona of the Fivefold Reincarnation.

Big move?

Chen Tianwu's conclusion is reasonable.

The Taixu Sect, a massive force that once crushed the entire Schicksal, the Inverse Merchant, and even the World Serpent created by the Lostbelt phenomenon, is something that Her Your Excellency doesn't care about. However, the other beings who look up to her have no choice but to take on the responsibility of wiping the dust off this crown.

That stranger, who seemed to be an acquaintance, was indeed unusually strong, single-handedly crushing the entire fighting force of a main city. Even the Herrscher of Flames beside him, who had received an epic-level buff and was qualified to enter a quad-core state, might not have been able to do it as well.

However, from the fact that she only disabled the functions of [Qiongqi] and Jiang Wanru for half an hour in the Longchuan Main City, one can glean some clues about their condition.

During their days on the run, the other party has probably figured out some of the state of this world. If they still have the strength, they will definitely finish them off.

After all, no one wants to show mercy to an enemy they're willing to kill.

But the reality is that the other party chose to flee, which most likely indicates that she has lost the ability to continue taking action.

March 27th.

Did this just happen yesterday? The Black Dragon Gang's information network is indeed quite efficient.

The gray-haired beauty closed her eyes, repeatedly watching the familiar figure in the video, her usually calm and indifferent expression now tinged with nostalgia and sorrow.

Kiana's expression was uncertain, a mixture of joy and anxiety. She calmed herself and asked:

Where do you think she'll run off to?

Chen Tianwu was not interested in the two men's reactions and questions.

In his mind, the only reason the other party would be interested in the Lostbelt phenomenon and outsiders was the series of Your Excellency.

The reason they used their own channels was probably simply because the other party was in a weaker position in this struggle.

Men have no interest in speculating about these things; everyone in the underground world knows that when dealing with this kind of person, the less you know, the better.

Miss Zaychek speaks very little, which is good.

If the other person talks too much, he'll start to worry that he won't be able to leave the bar that day.

Chen Tianwu glanced at the other person's expression and replied calmly:

"Beyond the thirty-six main cities, the furthest point from Chaoxian Upper City will be as far as possible."

"This is what a normal person would choose to do."

"You should know that outsiders are essentially the same as us Undocumented Resident hyenas. In fact, since they don't have the life-or-death switch in the hands of the Taixu Sect, as long as they find the right way to infiltrate the complex underground forces, they can live more comfortably than normal Undocumented Resident."

"But if she hadn't gained this awareness during her days on the run, and given that she couldn't use any means of transportation, couldn't cross the numerous aerial fortresses and the Mayfly Rune anti-air zone, and didn't have the corresponding connections, she would most likely still be circling around in the heart of the Taixu Sect, that is, Shenzhou."

Bronya remained silent.

It's understandable that they're unconscious; not every companion possesses the ability to gather information using Heavy Cannon Rabbit and hacking skills, and to escape using vehicles.

Anyone who is suddenly thrown into a world where they are inexplicably and relentlessly hunted from the start will find it difficult to gather enough intelligence.

Neither she nor Kiana would have fared well had they not met Su Muxi.

At least... now the two of them don't have that lingering feeling of inquiring about their other companions or even worrying about them. They're probably either busy running around somewhere or caught red-handed before they even reunite.

Chen Tianwu smiled, but the voice, once transmitted through the mask to the outside world, sounded exceptionally cold:

"But it's all the same, no matter where you escape to."

"[Dragon Court]'s ability [Fellow Daoist] connects the Black Tower worldwide. That outsider has the ability to destroy the combat power of a main city without the aid of technology. He is clearly within the scope of [Fellow Daoist]'s selection. No matter where he goes, he will have nowhere to hide. It's only a matter of time before he is captured."

This is why, even though all the Undocumented Resident harbor deep hatred for the Taixu Sect and everyone in its upper echelons, and their hearts are constantly burning with anger towards the corrupt system of this world, they still have no intention of actively contacting these outsiders.

Even if contact might add a little brightness to one's already precarious life, on a brighter note, one might even gain hope for future resistance by leveraging the offspring of these people.

However, the existence of [Dragon Court] and the search by [Fellow Daoist] extinguished all such thoughts.

Everyone knows that contact with outsiders is tantamount to suicide, and no one would engage in a moth-to-a-flame struggle for a cold and empty hope.

Instead of Lostbelt time, you might as well participate in an online betting game about how long it will take for the Lostbelt phenomenon to be resolved; at least you'd have a chance to win some money.

But the man was unaware that the two people he was openly and honestly trading with were the very strangers from out of town who had caused such a stir.

Bronya and Kiana exchanged a glance and asked calmly:

"Mr. Chen, are you aware of the other party's current situation?"

Chen Tianwu shook his head and said:

"Miss Zaychek, you should have noticed that this message was dated yesterday. If you want to find the other party before others, my suggestion is to go to Longchuan Main City."

"Judging from the fact that the outsider didn't completely destroy the Soul Steel Doll and the warship to the point of needing repairs as she did the first time, she may have been so exhausted that she needed to quickly hide and rest."

"Of course, this is irresponsible speculation; please let your own judgment decide."

Bronya stood up, took the crystal from the slot in her prosthetic limb, casually crushed it in her palm, letting the dust scatter on the floor. Then she extended her other soft, white hand, revealing an elegant smile, and said softly:

"This was a very pleasant transaction, Mr. Chen."

Chen Tianwu silently scanned the other's outstretched arm with his prosthetic eye, and after confirming there was nothing wrong, he slowly extended a metal hand covered by black fabric to grasp it. His dark blue, lifeless eyes met the hand's gaze, and he replied:

"Of course, I think so too."

Bronya smiled at him, but a crimson feather slowly drifted down from the depths of her gray eyes. The man had just sensed something was wrong when he felt his consciousness begin to fade.

Chen Tianwu struggled and fell backward onto the sofa, but in a daze, he arrived at the answer based on his common sense.

This is... a prosthetic eye equipped with [Iris Whisper].

Rumor has it that law enforcement personnel within the Taixu Sect have the authority to utilize a special system formed by the Udu-dust within the [Dragon Court] and signal towers on the ground.

Only the most core members of [Chaoxian] can obtain permission to use this system and integrate it into prosthetics for practical application.

But... why would such an important person bother with such trivial information?

The man's gradually eroded sanity rejected this pointless thought; he merely curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile.

This is truly a perfectly normal outcome of a transaction between a corporate employee and a homeless person.

The next second.

His consciousness was completely at the mercy of the gray-haired beauty before him, allowing her to knead it at will.

Bronya maintained her simulation of Udu-dust, obtaining the answers she sought from the other's consciousness.

He did not lie, and genuinely did not know any extra information.

Well, that level of understanding is enough.

Afterward, she glanced at all the equipment in the room, used Heavy Cannon Rabbit to delete everything she saw and heard, casually snapped her fingers, looked at the man whose consciousness had regressed to before she shook hands, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen, you are a good collaborator."

"I believe we'll have a chance to meet again."

"Then we'll take our leave now."

Chen Tianwu only felt a momentary blankness in his mind, but for someone like him who had undergone inferior human modification, this phenomenon was commonplace and nothing to be surprised about. He didn't notice anything amiss and simply replied politely:

Goodbye, Miss Zaychek.

As the weaker party on the scales of this transaction, he naturally couldn't wait for the other party to leave and had absolutely no interest in keeping them for tea.

Bronya nodded in acknowledgment, then walked out the door, leading Kiana out of the Little Cat Spin Bar, having lost all interest in continuing to drink.

Regardless of whether the stranger whose face she couldn't see was someone she knew, she felt she should make a trip to the Longchuan Main City.

Kiana glanced at the neon-lit night, the distant crescent moon indistinct amidst the enormous, brightly colored hologram.

She recalled the person in the image with their long, violet-like hair and dripping fingertips. Her azure eyes darkened slightly, but she calmly whispered:

"That could be Yuno, we need to go find her."

Bronya allowed the prosthetic limb in her hand to transform into her pale flesh and blood, removing her disguise, and said calmly:

"Regardless of whether she is Sister Yunona or not, as long as we find her, we can repeat the operation I took you into the [Moon Worship Palace] last time."

"Although we don't know His Your Excellency's attitude towards Xiao Xi's actions, at least for the time being, we can still use the protective umbrella that child provides."

Kiana nodded silently, but her desire to see the Udu-dust that housed the Class President's consciousness grew stronger.

No matter how strong her will was, she couldn't deny the harsh environment she was in.

But the girl believed that she had a reason for coming into this world, and no matter what the final outcome was, she would stick to her original purpose to reach the final end.

Let's rewind to March 23rd.

Qionghua City, Shangcheng District, Wanning District.

The girl leaned against the corner of the rooftop of the abandoned apartment building, facing the bustling city. In front of her was an area surrounded by skyscrapers, and she could vaguely see that each building's top floor was covered with long, thin signal towers of varying heights, resembling antennas.

On either side of the distant central tower, different advertising light strips circulated, projecting exquisite posters for dozens of movies. Closer up, the facades of the buildings were outlined with bright red logos. Occasionally, a few hovercars would fly by, slowly descending along the no-fly zone defined by the runic tracks of Ephemeral Nanoparticles.

A silent, giant airship patrolled the sky, while several searchlights on its lower level pierced the night, alternating back and forth.

Her vision encompassed a myriad of forms, countless neon lights, and numerous scenes, yet all seemed to be swept into a single color within a kaleidoscope, swirling into a greater chaos, ultimately settling into a somber and elegant dark purple, like violets crushed into flower juice dripping onto pure rice paper, displaying a clear sense of presence.

Satou Yunona.

The girl gazed at the crescent moon, its light illuminating her slender fingers. Through the gentle moonlight, one could see the scabbed scars on her fair wrists. Bright red blood, like perfectly round mercury, rolled down, slowly and rapidly falling onto her peach-colored pleated skirt in an infinitely stretched and distant space-time. Yet, she remained indifferent, slowly and wistfully murmuring that name.

Satou Yunona traces back her own memories, recalling the treasures this soul had acquired in the cycle of reincarnation.

On an ordinary, unchanging morning, she encountered the arrival of the Third Honkai Outbreak. Surrounded by black ash and Zombie, she lost all her will and soul, succumbing to the Honkai and becoming Pseudo-Herrscher. Only in the moments before her death did she gain a little freedom and peace.

This is the initial ending, and also the predetermined Karma.

But the memories that followed surged forth like a tide, giving life, which should have ended there, another journey to continue.

As promised, the girl became the Pseudo-Herrscher who was supposed to die at the hands of humans on the appointed day. She sat in the center of the empty and desolate library, waiting for the end of everything.

But that person silently cut through all obstacles, unlocked the seemingly unbreakable shackles that bound him, and came to his side, wounded and battered, embracing him and becoming the only light to fall in the dark abyss.

The story becomes increasingly fantastical afterward. Unlike herself, who was supposed to have that fate, she joins the St. Freya Academy, which is fighting against the Honkai, and slowly but surely forges new bonds.

Their first mission, assigned by the academy, ended with a less than perfect result.

But the ups and downs of daily life continue slowly and gradually.

But during a mission where he thought the journey was almost over, that person came again.

That reckless boy, like a demon dragging a shooting star from hell, arrived in the Nine Nether beneath the sea, leaving behind only a silhouette that could never be seen again.

He died.

Whether it was the inferior Honkai Energy literacy, the Artificial Stigmata that constantly corroded life, the next-generation God-Slaying Armor that devoured the body's potential and squeezed out all limits, or the pre-existing will to die with no return, all of these factors determined the arrival of this final outcome.

Every year since then, at the fireworks festival in the far-winter island nation, she would go alone, wearing the Kyo-Yuzen candy) that she would never even take a bite of, looking up at the dazzling but fleeting fireworks, wandering alone in the vast sea of people.

After the Honkai that occurred when she could no longer receive her mother's greetings or enjoy her father's tenderness, she lost her precious... friends because of the Honkai.

The hatred in the girl's chest grew ever stronger, like steel, coalescing into a stubborn ailment, which was eventually consumed by the flames, burning with vivid color and intense heat.

During an attack on the St. Freya Academy, she chose to accept the Honkai's gift, becoming the Herrscher of Death of this era, and then crushed the opponent's consciousness link.

However, perhaps due to the fact that she was learning from her friends, and even more so from their scheming tactics than Kiana, Bronya, Raiden Mei, the girl only obtained the power called [Annihilation], but lacked the part that was [Creation].

However, since the powers originally Pseudo-Herrscher already had healing effects, even if one is incomplete, they can still be used as a substitute.

Later, she bought enough time for Headmaster Theresa to activate the relative power of the Divine Grace Barrier and the Authority of Binding, and miraculously, with a smile, she pierced the Herrscher's abdomen with the Thorn Spear tainted by the [Annihilation] Power. Thus, under the overclocked power, the power Honkai and turned into [Ashes], and she died on the journey to conquer the Herrscher of Binding.

This life was still so short and full of pain and sorrow, and in the end, it was as if he withered away in a great fire of hatred.

At the moment of her death, Satou Yunona felt a deep gratitude for the light that had pulled her to the other side, allowing her to witness another cruel world.

As the memories of both lifetimes completed their cycle in his mind, an irregularly shaped, turquoise-like jade-colored crystal appeared from the void and merged into this flesh and blood body.

The pseudo- Herrscher Authority —manipulating plants, healing and regeneration.

But this was still not the end. In the next breath, a Herrscher Core, different from the dark blue color when Seele was in charge, but a deep purple, silently fell into the chest cavity along with the continuous Lostbelt phenomenon, like an illusion.

The Herrscher Authority of Death -- [Obliteration].

The girl ignored it all, letting the night wind blow her bangs across her forehead. The colors in her eyes grew increasingly chaotic, as if shining with a brilliance that surpassed even the distant neon lights. Memories followed, crowding into her already sublimating soul, acting like accelerants that helped the raging fire radiate an even hotter temperature.

She remembered herself from the previous era.

Like Satou Yunona, she was loved by her parents, lived an ordinary and uneventful life, and lost everything in the Third Honkai Outbreak, becoming an Apostle of Honkai.

This time, however, it was not Pseudo-Herrscher, but the Third Herrscher wielded electromagnetic force.

She became a complete puppet, expressing her empty anger and hatred to the whole world. In the end, after committing countless sins, she met her end under the relentless onslaught of Honkai Energy Fission Bomb and a series of technological creations.

The flames within the girl's soul grew ever brighter. It was as if she had fallen into an extremely strange and mysterious state during the repeated overlapping of this [Lostbelt] phenomenon. She slowly stepped towards an unknown door, and all the scenery before her seemed like a speck of dust that had sunk into the universe, so insignificant as to be worthy of pity.

The field of vision remained unchanged.

But the reflected image, strangely, kept getting farther and higher as the fireworks flickered, crossing the high sky, passing through the thick atmosphere, traversing the endless space, and crossing the barriers between worlds, finally revealing countless bubbles sinking into the sea and too many branches and leaves that seemed to be linked to trees.

At this very moment, the towering black tower that stood in the center of the city, seemingly connecting to the heavens, transformed into a gradually translucent crystal under the guidance of [Dragon Court], radiating a dazzling light. This massive facility almost immediately connected to the Shan Hai Series called [Zhuhuai], transmitting the coordinates of the nearest corresponding location.

Meanwhile, on their way to the abandoned apartment rooftop, which was considered the target, the [Lostbelt] phenomenon continued to linger.

The girl's consciousness was in a state of confusion, yet unconsciously, her instincts still provided a strange and profound connection.

Still a little short.

Thus, the final records overlapped under the manifestation of the [Lostbelt] phenomenon.

All her experiences seemed unchanged, but this time, shortly after transferring to Canghai City, she met an art teacher who did not exist in her previous life.

But for Satou Yunona, who is now recalling this memory, it is a familiar person who, for some reason, still recognizes her even after more than 50,000 years.

However, the other person seemed to be intentionally avoiding getting too familiar with her, maintaining a just-right distance in their interactions, being kind yet aloof, gentle yet distant.

But if it's him, it doesn't matter what choice he makes.

The Third Honkai Outbreak arrived as expected, and I, unaware of its impending doom, once again became a prisoner of the Honkai.

But that old friend, whose days were numbered and who was still suffering under the torment of the Artificial Stigmata, still made that seemingly eternal and unchanging choice.

Su Qing'an wants to save Satou Yunona.

Even if the price could be their lives, it would still be the same.

He succeeded, but then he failed.

That person went to great lengths, risking their life, to finally escape the shackles of the Honkai Consciousness, only to be defeated when they were exhausted, by the Honkai Fission Bomb slowly falling from the distance.

Satou Yunona can accept this ending simply because her actions in the original timeline meant that dying again would be justified.

Can...

She absolutely refused to see those lifeless, ashen eyes; it seemed that the emotions the other person felt about it were more important to her than her own death and end.

This pure, heart-wrenching sorrow for the other's suffering became, at that moment, the final fuel to push open that door.

The raging fire consumed the prison shackles.

Amidst the crackling sounds, a certain constraint and obstacle were burned away completely.

Thus, in the darkness, in the void, a strange fluctuation, distinct from the Honkai Consciousness and different from the Sea of Quantum, offered friendly confirmation to this soul that was being sublimated under the indirect guidance of the ascendant.

The girl slowly rose, ignoring her wrists that were still bleeding. She reached out and grasped the Gem of Conquest floating in front of her, allowing her body to be transformed and conform to it once again. Her consciousness indifferently chewed on the fifth layer of unrelated records, the memories and life she truly lived in this distorted world.

Thus concludes Satou Yunona's five-fold cycle of reincarnation.

To descend upon the world.
