A Dead Silent Galaxy

"...?"

Sera looked around in disbelief.

"What's going on?!"

Let's go back to not long ago...

Sera grasped the pocket watch containing the power of "the Finality" that Star had given him, which Elio had entrusted to him, and the hands of the clock began to turn backward.

The surrounding space and time are distorted by the "Finality" authority on the clock.

Sera disappeared from the spot and reappeared in the starry sky, but... Sera's expression was somewhat serious and complicated.

Looking at the scene before him, he really didn't know what to say.

One black hole after another is silently pulling things along. Sera has already determined in her heart which Path will lead to the Finality of this timeline; the answer is written all over her face.

One by one, stars collapsed into black holes under the pull of the "Nihility," this pitch-black sun, but they did not devour anything in the Milky Way, because they had already become part of the IX.

Because... the universe has ceased its cycle, all things have lost their meaning, and all things exist in "Nihility," without death or birth.

"Nihility" is the most difficult Finality to deal with; once it takes hold, there is no other way.

However, there is still a chance.

Sera was not alarmed, because the vision he had just witnessed was the future that the star was conveying to him through "the Finality"—a real future that was also about to become a false one.

After Sera's arrival, the ending of this timeline became unclear.

The future will unfold in the direction that Sera has guided.

The most urgent task is to figure out what exactly happened in this timeline that caused the pendulum of "Nihility" to engulf the entire universe.

The goal to be confirmed is clear.

It's related to "Nihility." Who is this person with this ability, these thoughts, and these goals? It's so hard to guess! Lord Ravager, Zephyro, don't you agree?

What exactly did the Lord Ravager, the Destruction "Nihility," do to cause such a riot in IX? Sera was curious.

Based on what Sera knew about the Zephyro, Finality had said that the Zephyro was afraid of the dark, and Sera had seen what the Zephyro looked like in white, so Sera guessed that the Zephyro might represent white, which is the opposite of IX.

In the Mi family's worldview, most villains have their own ideals. For example, Sunday, Zandar, Finality are good representatives of this universe.

Both Zephyro and IX were either connected to the Aeon like Finality, or like Acheron, had everything taken away by the Dormant Formless One, yet chose a completely different, extreme path—"The Destruction."

The sparks ignited by the collision of "Nihility" and "The Destruction" completely engulfed the Milky Way.

Let's go find Elio from this timeline first.

Sera stood on a desolate planet and forcibly connected to the network of this universe.

Search results: Sorry, are you sure you're not mistaken?

Sera sighed and rubbed his forehead; now he knew where the problem lay in this galaxy.

Elio isn't even part of the Stellaron Hunters in this timeline anymore; it's no wonder this chaotic universe is in such trouble!

The world is broken and dilapidated, and the kitten mends and patches it up.

Quickly say Elio!

Therefore, without Elio's intervention to prevent "the Finality," this galaxy veered towards its most terrifying fate. So, Sera knew what the first step was.

Firefly was chosen by Elio to save humanity from the Finality in the "Nihility."

Those who ascend to Path through solitude are indeed well-suited to Nihility.

Sera personally believes that the way the Firefly saved the galaxy from its Nihility Finality was to embrace solitude, embark on the Path "Propagation," and tear themselves apart to ascend to godhood before the Finality arrived.

However, this is just his guess; the actual method is still unclear.

Where would Firefly be if she hadn't joined the Stellaron Hunters?

Found it.

Sera's fingers twitched slightly, lightly touching the screen.

Release time, one system time ago.

[About what happened just now: I was traveling on an interstellar flight when I was suddenly attacked by space pirates. I almost thought I was going to lose everything!]

Just at that critical moment, a cool Flame Knight Kick descended from the sky! Then came a tall mech. I'm usually quite interested in these kinds of things, so I recognized it immediately as Glamoth's Iron Cavalry!

Mr. Iron Rider told me that he was a Galaxy Rangers.

I'd like to ask if anyone knows this Galaxy Rangers? I'd like to thank him!

The address is below.

Near Planet XX in Galaxy XX.

... Um?

Did Firefly, who didn't join the Stellaron Hunters, actually join the Galaxy Rangers after waking up?

Firefly that fights for itself, a knight-errant who fights for justice.

Could it be that the Firefly encountered the Galaxy Rangers while helping a planet along the way?

Well...

Sera felt a little scared.

He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for Firefly's gentle voice to utter—his precious ' Galaxy Rangers's swear words'... Could it be true?

Rappa is just a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), and Busitu never swore. Old Wolf, despite his detective-like demeanor, still has a gentlemanly air.

Never mind... I don't want to think about it anymore.

Sera rapidly tapped the screen with one hand to input coordinates, a system time... It's not too late now; if it is, he still has a way.

Penacony... that's where all the shooting stars streak across the sky!

Moreover, Firefly has some connection to this place; AR-214 is in the Penacony Oak Residence. Sera believes that no matter what happens, fate will always guide Firefly to Penacony.

Transforming into data and traversing the Ether Sea that he had completely taken over, Sera quickly arrived near the orbital area.

Consciousness spread outwards in a circle along the Ether Sea that spans the entire universe.

Tsk...

Sera shook her head.

I'm too late, everyone's already gone, but this direction...

Sera looked up into the distance; this was the direction to Penacony, so the path to godhood on Sunday had already begun.

Open the web and click on trending topics.

[The Penacony Charmony Festival, featuring a special performance by Miss Robin!]

Then let's go to Penacony and wait there.

but...

How can Firefly enter the dream without Silver Wolf's help?

With the AR-214 as a precedent, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

She raised her hand and opened the portal. Sera was about to step inside when she stopped.

Right, he has no identity in this timeline, so how is he supposed to get into Penacony? Hiding and concealing himself isn't Sera's style.

Which faction does the Charmony Festival represent?

The Genius Society.

hehe...

Is the Charmony Festival missing our "Erudition" faction?

That won't do!

"Teacher."

Sera called softly.

In the starry sky, a god made of machinery appeared clearly before him.

I really didn't expect I could write so much!
