"Indeed... As for this third type..." Kafka narrowed her eyes. After all, she had personally slain countless Fragmentum Monsters in Jarilo-VI, and Xing's combat awareness had already reached a new level.
Seeing Kafka's reaction, Hoshi knew something was definitely fishy!
"... Wait a minute, it should be about time." Kafka silently counted down in her mind.
"Oh, it's starting..."
boom!
A violent tremor came from the ground. Xing didn't have time to react and almost fell. Fortunately, she had been having pillow fights with March 7th for a long time, so her core strength was exceptionally stable.
March 7th is truly a day to remember; pillow fights really can improve your health.
Behind them, Dan Heng caught March 7th just in time when she almost fell.
"Hmm... After falling so many times in the carriage, haven't you gained any experience yet?" He couldn't help but ask.
"What are you saying! I call that daring to take on challenges!"
"[ Ambrosial Arbor ] has revived." Ye Yan and Welt remained unmoved, calmly watching the withered tree gradually come back to life.
"Such unusual energy... Stellaron."
"Does Uncle Yang mean... that the Stellaron caused the growth of [ Ambrosial Arbor ]?"
"Yes, the Xianzhou Cloud Knights have found that Stellaron; it's most likely the culprit behind this anomaly!"
On Xing's side, seeing that Kafka had easily broken free of the Imaginary Number Shackles, she grabbed a baseball bat and rushed forward.
Bang!
A digital portal suddenly appeared behind Kafka, and an entire Antimatter Legion Fragmentum Monsters blocked Xing's path.
Calling in outside help? Are you sore losers?!
Numerous Fragmentum Monsters hindered Xing's progress. She suddenly remembered the necklace around her neck; it seemed to contain a Stellaron as well...
All told, the Xianzhou Luofu now has a total of three Stellaron.
"Tsk, you guys have been chatting for a long time."
Silver Wolf appeared beside Kafka at some point, still chewing on Lil' Twist Bubble Gum.
Where is Blade?
"He's been rescued. Let's go find him now." Silver Wolf stretched and greeted Star as he did so.
"Speaking of which, there's this clueless young Cloud Knights who seems to be looking for me, but his reconnaissance skills are terrible. I almost caught him several times, tsk tsk~"
Hearing Silver Wolf's mocking tone, Xing, surrounded by the Fragmentum Monsters, immediately felt extremely annoyed, even though Silver Wolf wasn't talking about her.
Unfazed by the surrounding Fragmentum Monsters, Xing ripped off the necklace.
She's practically a miniature arsenal: a mimicry weapon of [ Eternity ], an hourglass necklace symbolizing [ Eternity ] (sealing a Stellaron ), a mask related to [ Elation ], the Supreme Guardian's lance...
Shed the ineffective Fool's Mask, now is the chance for [ Eternity ] to shine!
As the hourglass necklace was opened, a brilliant golden light shot straight into the sky, and the Fragmentum Monsters were uncontrollably sucked into the necklace, merging with the Stellaron.
Seeing this, the Silver Wolf, who was about to leave, blinked.
"Wait... why do you have another [ Eternity ] weapon?!"
Its design is so unique, it's an hourglass-shaped necklace... Silver Wolf has truly been amazed.
Aside from Blake, this was the first time she had ever seen someone so favored by [ Eternity ]!
If only Blake weren't here, otherwise Silver Wolf would definitely have said something like, "You should just step down from your Chair."
A lyric perfectly captures the moment: A new storm has arrived—how can we stand still?
If you ask Silver Wolf, the next Church Chair would be better off being Star, to overthrow the old Blake's rule and welcome the new king to the throne!
Meanwhile, the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse
Achoo!
Blake, still playing the storyteller, sneezed.
"The people of the Church are missing me... I need to speed things up."
Silver Wolf also shuddered. Could Blake be in Luofu?
Despite all her painstaking efforts and the [ Eternity ] magic she developed using the Aether Cartridge, she still couldn't defeat the Chosen One!
"Stop overthinking, let's go."
Kafka patted the Silver Wolf on the head, and together they jumped off the Matrix of Prescience and disappeared without a trace.
"Wow... you took care of the Fragmentum Monsters in an instant, as expected of you!"
" March 7th, are you just going to stand by and watch the whole thing? Not come to help me at all?"
"Hey," March 7th hurriedly explained when suddenly called upon, "[ Ambrosial Arbor ] rose up in a flash, all our attention was diverted! Besides, Teacher Ye Yan and the others..."
" Miss March 7th, why are you shirking responsibility?" Ye Yan said with a pained expression.
In a different location, with familiar faces, Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan were discussing something.
After interrogating Kafka, Fu Xuan couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The Stellaron Hunters's motives seemed far too naive! And just now, [ Ambrosial Arbor ] had relapsed.
"Unless Kafka deceived Matrix of Prescience..."
"Don't panic, Fu Qing. Trust that Matrix of Prescience doesn't lie. What you said about Kafka's logic is very reliable; it's adding a piece to my puzzle."
"I know that Luofu must have external enemies, because the Stellaron cannot appear out of thin air; someone must have used some means to infiltrate it into the Xianzhou. As for the internal troubles of Luofu, they must be the sinister organization that claims to be Denizens of Abundance: the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
" Kafka's facts perfectly corroborate my conjecture."
Fu Xuan asked, puzzled, "You... General, when did you come up with this?"
"When the Stellaron first appeared, the Xianzhou was protected by the Reignbow Arbiter. If it weren't for the intervention of another Aeon's Emanator, how could it have infiltrated Luofu without my knowledge? The Lord Ravager, after being inspected by the Church, was found not to have brought the Stellaron with him."
" The Stellaron is eroding in various places, yet it bypasses the two key locations of the Seat of Divine Foresight and the Prison of Deep Seclusion, clearly indicating a ulterior motive, which also aligns with the aesthetics of Destruction embodied in the internal disintegration of the Phantylia."
Jing Yuan shared a rumor with Fu Xuan: "A friend of mine told me that Phantylia is unlikely to make any moves anytime soon."
"It's because of that person..."
"No, one Great Ruler is not enough to provoke the gods. Fu Qing, you may not know this, but there are only two who can command His intervention: the Author of the Ember's Desolation and the Lord of Eternal Joy."
A bad feeling rose in Fu Xuan's heart. Judging from Jing Yuan's words, could it be that these two were also hiding in Luofu?
"The enemy's scheme must mean they have inside information about Luofu, hence the impending internal trouble. Understanding these two points isn't difficult..." Jing Yuan returned to the main topic:
" The Stellaron Hunters aren't the ones behind this... I understood that the moment I saw that guy. But why did they come, and why did they attract the Astral Express?"
"Dealing with a Lord Ravager and Stellaron Cataclysm is a matter of expertise; the Church can handle these things with ease, let alone the Xianzhou?"
"So I still can't find this piece of the puzzle."
Recalling the news Fu Xuan had told him, Jing Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile:
"The news brought by Fu Qing has completed this puzzle... Haha, the Stellaron Hunters is indeed interesting. He went through all that trouble just to connect the Xianzhou and the Train. Who would have thought?"
