"Lumine, where's your brother?" Funina followed the large group heading toward Himeko's coffee shop to meet up.
Lumine shook her head, "I don't know either. I've looked everywhere I could."
"Forget it, that idiot isn't worth looking for!" Funina pouted, "I say, have you noticed why they're all looking so grim, one after another?"
"I wouldn't call it grim—it's like they're heading to an execution ground."
March 7th held the Tiga Light Buddha in her left hand, a string of prayer beads tied tightly in her right, a garlic cross necklace around her neck, muttering incessantly, "Great Lord Laojun, manifest quickly, haste like the law commands!"
Lumine's mouth twitched twice, "What kind of situation could drive everyone to this state?"
"Oh, I remember now." Funina tapped her lips with her fingertip, "I recall now, today is Thursday, miHoYo's weekly team-building day."
"Now that you mention it, I have some recollection." Lumine said, "Belle told me this is an extremely terrifying death gala. Once selected, there's only one outcome for those chosen! A lifetime curse, incurable!"
Funina blinked, "It's not that bad, is it? We're in a lawful society now, and doesn't miHoYo Interactive City have security officers?"
The next moment, a glint of alertness flashed in Funina's eyes, as if she'd become a different person, "Could it be an existence even the security officers can't change? It seems miHoYo really has many secrets we don't know about. There are even rumors of miHoYo eating people at night."
Lumine half-opened her eyes, scrutinizing Funina, "Furina Holmes, let's go to the scene and find out the truth."
…
Not long after.
The group had gathered in the coffee shop.
Every face was drained of color, as if they were fish on a chopping board, about to be sacrificed to a demon.
They were all waiting to see who would be the lucky one—or rather, the unlucky group.
At that moment.
Su Chen and Qingque slowly took the stage, Qingque's hand clutching a remote control, trembling all over.
"Ahem." Su Chen cleared his throat, "For this fan-made video, I've already made my selection. Qingque can just press the play button. I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first."
With that, he slowly walked toward the coffee shop's exit.
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, Dan Heng, Blade, and Moze emerged from the shadows.
"You think you can just walk away?"
Su Chen pondered for a moment, "Today's fan-made video doesn't involve you three. How about letting me step out for a breather?"
Moze shook his head with a smile, "If you insist on taking a breather, you'll have to step over my dead body."
Su Chen's mouth twitched, and he quietly found a seat.
However, a barely noticeable smile lingered on his face.
The experience of being beaten by employees multiple times had helped him devise a more perfect plan.
This time, he was certain he'd make a clean escape.

Qingque gave an awkward smile to the audience below, "Sorry, everyone, I'm doing this completely voluntarily!"
With that, her gaze inadvertently swept over Stelle.
"Sorry, sister!"
Her finger pressed the play button on the remote, and Stelle's image appeared on the big screen.
At that moment.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere instantly became cheerful.
"Phew, that scared the heck out of me." Boothill grabbed a big bag of chips from the coffee shop's snack area.
March 7th saw Stelle's image, "Finally, it's your turn. You're really pitiful."
"I'm kind of looking forward to this sibling showdown between you two!" Silver Wolf sat next to Stelle, unwilling to miss this VIP mocking seat.
Stelle stared blankly at the screen, "As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, I won't die of embarrassment!"
At the same time.
A few words slowly floated across the video: "Great Love Star Sovereign."
Silver Wolf suddenly felt something was off. What was going on?
She shouted toward Qingque, "Que! What's the name of this uploader?"
"Wolf! I'm the middle cat!"
"It's over!" Silver Wolf looked at the screen, utterly hopeless, "Goodbye, everyone. Goodbye, world. Goodbye, my loved ones. Goodbye, everyone in the coffee shop. Donate all my money to national security to advance national technology! Farewell…"
Lumine watched this scene, sweating, "What's going on here?"
Belle peeled a banana and put it in her mouth, "You'll understand once you see it."
—
In the video, a few words slowly appeared: "Great Love Star Sovereign!"
"Lord Star, I've awakened, twin martial souls!" Stelle shouted toward Caelus.
Caelus looked at Stelle and hurriedly said, "Stelle, what the heck did you do? Without the Wolf King, how am I supposed to fight the Chaos Memories?"
Stelle gave a calm smile, "Hmph! Simple. I'll carry! That's all there is to it, right?"
With that, her aura was no longer concealed, fully revealed.
Triple Path?
In an instant, the scene fell silent!
—
"Wait a second?" March 7th shouted, "Where did this Triple Path come from?"
"The Season 4 preview already mentioned that the Trailblazer would gain a third Path."
"That settles it." March 7th continued stroking Silver Wolf's fur, "Wolf Sovereign, don't be scared. Although this person is the uploader who respects you the most online, the protagonist this time is Stelle!"
—
"What? It's actually a Triple Path?"
Stelle gathered her power, chanting, "Seventh Soul Technique, Martial Soul True Form."
The next moment.
Silver Wolf stuck out her tongue, standing on all fours beside Stelle.
The subtitle read—The Wolf Martial Soul!
—
Silver Wolf spat out a mouthful of blood and promptly fainted!
At this moment, the scene descended into chaos.
"Hahaha." Sparkle was laughing so hard she was rolling on the floor, "Hahaha, I thought it'd be absurd, but I didn't expect this level of absurdity. Hahaha, I'm going to tip them, keep it up!"
Sampo approached Silver Wolf with a sly grin, "Join the Elation, Aha needs you."
Silver Wolf cracked open one eye, "Wait till I hack all your accounts."
"Hey, sister, just joking around, right?"
Funina covered her mouth with both hands. As a loyal reader of web dramas, she never imagined Silver Wolf had this side, "I feel like I can't hold it in. This is too terrifying."
"Terrifying? It's worse than death!" Lumine chuckled while feeling a chill down her spine, thankful it wasn't her!
—
The video continued playing.
In an instant, the Wolf King's shadow flickered in and out of view.
"What? Stelle's Martial Soul True Form is actually the Great Love Wolf Sovereign?"
"Hmph!" Stelle slightly curled her lips, as if saying things weren't that simple, "Martial Soul True Form."
The next moment.
March 7th's figure appeared in the frame, in the same pose, same actions, same tongue!
The subtitle slowly displayed three words—Twin Martial Soul!

March 7th spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
