At this moment, the Razeri Galaxy was fully taken over by the Antimatter Legion.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on Dr. Primitive, the Razeri Galaxy, already on the Legion's advance route, was directly breached.
The rays of destructive light remained as sharp as ever.
Wails, shouts of killing, the crackling of blazing fire, and the whispering of demons.
This galaxy, already under immense pressure, exploded violently.
The faith of Destruction spread here, took root, and flourished wildly.
The greater the chaos, the more terror it bred.
Within destruction lay a single thread of life.
On several planets already ruined, multiple people stepped onto the path of Destruction, the road that shattered their once peaceful lives.
Yet the Lord Ravager, Celenova, the one who brought all of this, paid no attention to the small galaxy lying along her path of destruction.
"Dr. Primitive really doesn't know what's good for him. Heh, that's truly his style." Celenova was not unfamiliar with Dr. Primitive, who was also an Emanator.
At times, they had even held brief hostilities. Dr. Primitive regressed civilizations, while the Antimatter Legion brought civilizations to ruin.
From the perspective of an ordinary cosmic observer, neither side were good people, they could even be called peers.
But Dr. Primitive's goal was to return civilizations to a state full of potential.
The Antimatter Legion, while destroying civilizations, brought everything to ruin.
However, Dr. Primitive's Atavistic experiments progressed slower than the Legion's destruction, and since he was an Emanator of Erudition, fighting or stopping him was a complete hassle. So the Lord Ravagers simply cast him aside for the time being.
What Celenova hadn't expected was that after so long, Dr. Primitive would reappear in such a way.
The Quantum Sea, a mysterious place touched by no one except Herta.
Dr. Primitive's ultimate goal was those countless lost worlds.
No one would supply such intelligence to the infamous Lord Ravager; this was Celenova's deduction through her own intellect.
In truth, it was simply the fusion of a person's obsessions and ideals.
Zephyro pursued destruction; whether it was his own nature or not, it didn't matter.
The Galaxy Rangers walked the road of Hunt; hungry for revenge.
Simply put, those who step onto a Path are all fanatics, and those who become Emanators are the most exceptional among them.
Thus, predicting Dr. Primitive's logic wasn't difficult.
Only one thing Celenova really wanted to know: Whether Dr. Primitive had succeeded or not.
The Antimatter Legion had also conducted research on the Quantum Sea as well, but gave up shortly after.
How could their own research outpace others'?
Those geniuses were hard to track down and deal with, but the IPC was always there. When the IPC produced results, they could simply go and take them, quick and convenient.
But that didn't stop her from being interested in Dr. Primitive, who had already taken action.
After all, aside from Herta, he was the second person to formally step into the Quantum Sea.
Those people dragged inside with him didn't count. As for why she didn't seek out Herta for this matter…
Heh. Herta's name was far more than "genius."
She was a prodigy who had drawn the gaze of Nous twice, and whose research progress had been personally obstructed by an Aeon. She, too, was an Emanator of Erudition.
Most of the "Hertas" seen now were her puppets.
For an existence like that, resorting to violence was the lowest form of stupidity.
The Antimatter Legion was insane, not foolish.
Suddenly, Celenova lifted her gaze slightly, shifting her eyes from a burning planet.
She looked toward the farthest edge of the starry sky.
"This feeling…" As if someone were watching her, Celenova pondered.
There were no few people under this sky who wanted her dead.
...
Across the distant stars, Mobius slowly withdrew her sight.
"Sharp perception… so this is an Lord Ravager."
After learning from Screwllum that the birth of the "Emperor Rupert I" might involve secrets of the Intellitrons, she began an investigation.
She did not overlook the mechanical civilizations she encountered along her journey.
Conveniently, the Razeri Galaxy had once contained several thriving mechanical civilizations.
Now they were gone.
Mobius had been planning to visit them.
But the harvest wasn't bad.
A Lord Ravager was extremely valuable. Every Emanator was an existence beyond imagination.
Most of the time, their strength was beyond comparison. As for why she said "most of the time"…
Lord Ravager Zulo: struck by the Swarm, and the Galaxy Rangers, thus fallen.
Truly a great cosmic oddity. Even now, the event was enough to shock anyone.
Mobius never forgot why she came to this starry sky: To explore infinite possibilities, the essence of life, and the magnificence of the Aeons!
According to known clues, an Aeon was the pinnacle of a Path. Every Aeon represented the opening of a great fate throughout the cosmos.
And the immeasurable Imaginary energy used by the Aeons was terrifying beyond measure, capable of crushing countless worlds with mere numerical force.
So why were They able to command such colossal Imaginary power?
Mobius had come from a world ravaged by Honkai.
She clearly understood that every Herrscher was a being connected to the Herrscher of Finality.
Then what of the Aeons? What were They before this?
The Hunt's Lan was from the Xianzhou, essentially a long-lived species blessed by Abundance.
Nanook emerged from the Emperor War. Nous, the Erudition, was created by the Genius Society's leader.
All cases indicated that before reaching the pinnacle, Aeons were no different from most beings in the universe.
Even Lan was but one of the long-lived species of the Xianzhou.
Yet after becoming Aeons and ascending, They could wield vast Imaginary energy and stand at the true summit.
There were definitely aspects of the Imaginary Tree she had yet to discover.
Or rather, too many she had failed to discover.
Even after merging with the Ouroboros Factor, she was still just one among the countless beings of the cosmos.
Compared to the level of the Imaginary Tree, the gap was immeasurable.
Her thoughts halted here as Mobius lightly shook her head, pressing down her speculations for the time being.
No matter how wildly she guessed now, even if later proven correct, it would not change the fact that she currently had no way to uncover the truth.
Grow stronger.
...
Leaving the star system ravaged by the legion led by Celenova, Mobius headed straight for the Xianzhou Luofu.
This used to be one of Godzilla's long-term dwelling places.
It was just that, as his body grew, Godzilla had become more and more lazy.
On this point, Mobius actually had the right to speak.
After all, snakes hibernate. But the traces Godzilla left here remained for a long, long time.
As if they were miracles bestowed upon the Xianzhou by the Abundance.
It's worth mentioning that, having never become famous in any way, Mobius was just a small, unnoticed nobody in the cosmos.
She passed through the Jade Gate easily and entered the Luofu.
The Luofu was very prosperous, but ordinary things held no attraction for Mobius.
She wanted to observe the miracle of Abundance.
That world-piercing, heaven-reaching Ambrosial Arbor.
Mm, although it had already been cut down. But there is a piece of universally acknowledged knowledge in the galaxy:
You may doubt that everything around you is the fantasy of some History Fictionologist or masked fool playing a prank on you, but you cannot doubt the vitality of Abundance.
Thanks to the overwhelming life force of Abundance, that Ambrosial Arbor still retained life.
And since it was a miracle left behind by the Aeon of Abundance, Mobius had no reason to miss it.
But the path leading to Ambrosial Arbor was in the Scalegorge Waterscape.
Because of Godzilla, most areas of the Scalegorge had been designated as restricted zones... although before that, no one other than the Vidyadhara would go there anyway.
And the passage that could be used was tightly controlled.
The General of Divine Foresight valued Godzilla's territory greatly.
Mobius found nothing strange about that.
A being capable of directly fighting several Lord Ravagers head-on and winning, anyone would cherish such a relationship.
But that meant her plan to sneak in quietly was ruined.
Still, as the saying goes: heaven never seals all paths. She had prepared several action plans long beforehand.
...
Sky-Faring Commission.
While dealing with cooperation matters between other merchant groups and the Whistling Flames Guild, Tingyun suddenly saw a attendant walking toward her.
"Lady Tingyun, a outsider is asking to see you."
"A outsider?" Tingyun raised a brow. All the friends she knew had been granted access permissions; when the attendant saw them, she would bring them directly or tell them her location. How could one have been missed?
"I do not know, my lady. But she looked very confident, as if she was certain Lady Tingyun would see her. She also asked me to bring this to you."
Saying so, the maid handed Tingyun a gemstone that had already passed multiple rounds of inspection.
It was a top-grade gem containing an enormous amount of energy, the kind normally carefully treasured as a rare material.
Wait! Tingyun sharply noticed something wrong.
This gemstone carried a familiar trace of aura!!!
....
In the Sky-Faring Commission's reception room, Mobius didn't wait long before a Foxian lady with an elegant posture entered.
Her gaze locked directly onto the relaxed, composed Mobius.
Seeing this, she smiled lightly, stood up, and looked toward the Foxian girl.
"May I ask... who are you?" Tingyun asked, a little hesitant.
At first she thought the visitor came from Jarilo-VI, but her outfit and presence did not match.
To be blunt, even though life on Jarilo had improved, even the Supreme Guardian Bronya wouldn't casually waste resources.
"Mobius. I came out to take a stroll... from 'Father.'"
With a soft laugh, Mobius spoke words that made Tingyun's pupils tremble.
"Fa... Father?!!"
"Yes." When she said those two words, Mobius's expression became slightly dazed.
Father... it was a word that had felt unfamiliar ever since her birth.
But now, it wasn't unfamiliar anymore. Thinking of this, the smile on Mobius's face grew even brighter.
Thanks to her special ability, as long as she had enough energy she could resurrect infinitely, but along with the matching energy consumption, the time she stayed alive and her consciousness would change accordingly.
When she was first reborn in an infant-like state by Godzilla's re-incubation, the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Godzilla.
After that, she received an enormous amount of energy from Godzilla as she grew.
That alone wasn't enough to make her regain the concept of a father.
The key was that, reviving near Godzilla, she developed sensory perceptions of closeness toward him.
In a sense, calling Godzilla her father wasn't wrong at all.
This complicated relationship even made Tingyun a little dizzy for a moment, but one thing she was sure of: the person in front of her was an ally.
"This lady is called Tingyun, the envoy of the Whistling Flames Guild. I greet you, Elder Sister Mobius."
Blinking adorably, Tingyun said with a light laugh.
She wasn't calling her "elder sister" casually, she truly felt the sediment of years from Mobius, something that couldn't be acted out.
Some brilliant performances could fool short-lived species, but before a long-lived race...
Even though she understood it all now, Tingyun's head was still a little dizzy.
How did a child suddenly appear in such a short time?
And already this grown?
"Elder Sister Mobius visiting the Luofu is a great blessing. If you had told me earlier, I would have gone to the Jade Gate to greet you."
"No need for that. I came here for something specific."
Tingyun wasn't surprised, smiling as she nodded, signaling Mobius to state her purpose.
"I want to visit the Ambrosial Arbor."
"..." A little unexpected, but not too unexpected.
Gently rubbing her brow, Tingyun exhaled softly.
She was certain that the aura she felt from Mobius was the heavy vitality of life, something only long-lived species possessed.
And with her limited judgment, it wasn't hard to see that Mobius's vitality was vigorous.
Meaning that Mobius had not come to visit Ambrosial Arbor in search of longevity.
That left one possibility, strength. Pure, violent strength.
"Forgive my rudeness for asking, Elder Sister Mobius does not seem like someone obsessed with power. May I ask... for what purpose?"
After hesitating a moment, Tingyun asked. The Phantylia incident was still vivid; caution was necessary.
However, she was willing to trust Mobius.
Anyone who could walk out from Godzilla's side could probably persuade Godzilla to take action.
If she had to guess... the need must be something she had to personally experience.
