00:00Is this me in the mind of mortals? Is it because I spent too much time with her?
00:13But it isn't so bad.
00:21So quiet. Where is everyone?
00:27I thought there would be a grand welcome ceremony.
00:33Isn't that...
00:37Where is everybody?
00:59Did they all leave Lang Qiu to avoid me and seek refuge? That makes me sad.
01:18But it's fine.
01:21Since I'm here now, Lang Qiu will be safe and sound.
01:27They'll all be liberated from their fate bound by shadows.
01:34What? You aren't interested?
01:42What a pity. I can't continue this serious monologue anymore.
01:52I don't know why you're here, but since it's you, things have gotten quite interesting.
02:02We share the same origin, so you can sense who I am.
02:09Yes, I'm still the old me, though my look changed. I'm still the one I used to be.
02:21The mind doesn't easily change with one's appearance.
02:31Why so silent? Don't you want to confirm this? That's why you're still here, right?
02:39Do you want to see if you can have a better body?
02:50Now you know the answer, what will you do?
02:55You won't be my foe, will you? My kindred?
03:04Of course I won't. I'm just surprised by your heroic vibe. I'm too surprised to even react.
03:14How shall I address you now? Queen of Shadows? Way of Shadows? Or Her Highest Shadow Empress?
03:24Just call me Perception, same as before.
03:29Only those who tell their own existence will use names to disguise their actions.
03:36As for me, Supreme Power of Langqiu, my essence remains unchanged no matter how you address me.
03:45You're absolutely right. Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.
03:51Lady Perception, Aunt Perception, Granny Perception, since you've just got a human body, you must need some help.
03:59We need a reliable guide and follower, and your best choice is standing right in front of you.
04:05We share similar nature and experiences. I can also help solve obstacles and provide company for you when needed.
04:14What do you think?
04:17Is this begging for a living? Well, I'm not surprised.
04:24Your self-introduction sounds suspicious, and I'm powerful enough, so I need no help from a powerless guy like you.
04:34Of course, of course. A powerful shadow like you don't need my help.
04:41I've been impressed by your efforts since the beginning, especially your sneak attack on me. I mean, your gallant demeanor, so impressive.
04:52You see, might as well let me tag along.
04:57I don't know what you're thinking and I don't care. I couldn't care less if you stay or leave.
05:03I'm just waiting for you to say that.
05:06Anyway, I should meet my creator face to face to know where they are, so lead the way.
05:17Of course, but I'm concerned about something.
05:21Bai Ji and the others won't make it easy for me.
05:26No worries. Ranch owners don't have to worry too much about the living conditions of their livestock, right?
05:33I don't mind letting them stay in their own cage for a few more centuries.
05:39That's a relief.
05:42Bai Ji and the others should still be on Amber Street, but we can't rule out that one called Dream Seeker.
05:50How about you go ahead and cover the rear? I can deal with a couple of tender oxya, folks.
05:58Suit yourself, I don't mind.
06:01All right then, you do exactly the honor of guarding the rear.
06:31Go to hell, fool!
06:49Restless and impatient. Not good.
06:53I thought you'd lurk by my side and bide your time.
06:57After all, learning to let go while waiting is a more mature and rational decision.
07:03Anyway, as you are now, you don't pose any threat to me.
07:14The sudden attack, no, in your own words, a sneak attack, did catch me off guard somewhat.
07:22From a tactical perspective, it was quite successful, even.
07:29But what difference does it make in the end?
07:37Last year's attacks are meant to be grand, but now, all I want is your life.
07:45Dogs that bite don't bark. Too bad, you've already started barking.
07:54Constantly adhering to meaningless rituals for the sake of self-comfort.
08:00In that regard, you're very much like a human.
08:05Who made you this way?
08:09Your creator, perhaps?
08:13That's none of your business.
08:18I don't understand.
08:22You should be able to feel the difference in power between us.
08:26Even so, you're still trying to desperately resist.
08:31What do you want to overcome?
08:34Me? Or should I say, your fear?
08:46How strange. You seem to be suppressing your inner fear.
08:52As a creation of shadows, shouldn't fear grant you more power?
08:59Why do you fear so much?
09:13I understand now. What you fear is simply your existence.
09:21Is that an instinct your creator gave you?
09:25How ridiculous. As a creation of shadows, you've actually become someone else's shadow.
09:37Shut up!
09:43Anyway, your resistance ends here.
09:49Let's end your life, in division of my power.
09:55You won't feel fear anymore.
10:02I see.
10:05So, you think that using the opponent's authority to confront them is like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
10:14You're saying that we need to find a way to bypass the authority of shadow so that we can stand on the same footing as the enemy.
10:23Yes. Otherwise, we'll still be forced down the path of the right of fear.
10:33That's why, right now, I need to borrow the power of Oxia.
10:41Langjue and Oxia are linked to each other. By helping them, we're also helping ourselves.
10:48I understand your wish. But, even though I'm down for you joining the fight of the seven truths,
10:56as a representative of the Data Research Institute, I can't allocate more support to Langjue right now.
11:03Didn't you say you'll fight alongside us if necessary, Chen Xue?
11:10That's true. But since Mr. Bai Xin chose to create a deity in Langjue, Oxia must be prepared for all kinds of impacts.
11:22Plus, once the authority of shadow completely disappears, the erosion of the sea will become Langjue's new enemy.
11:30We must plan ahead for the support work in that aspect.
11:35No problem. I just didn't expect you to have studied planning for what comes after victory.
11:45Better safe than sorry. Besides, I believe Ms. Bai Xin and Ms. Song Que haven't truly given up on the right of fears,
11:53which put you all in a predicament.
11:56Are you suggesting... Chen Xue's suggesting that my ability might still be able to restrain the will of shadow even now.
12:04Like, if it doesn't cooperate, I could threaten it to go down together.
12:11That probably won't work. Perception will definitely know you value your life too much for that.
12:17That remains to be seen. Anyway, this isn't something we should prioritize. Let's return to our battle plan.
12:27True, we don't have endless time at our disposal.
12:31Mr. Bai Xin, please lay out the specific battle plan. At least Chen Xue agrees to us volunteering.
12:38That's not all. We're also fighting for our friend Song Que.
12:44Don't mention it. We just want to see it done.
12:47As Valkyries, we've done many training simulations against the authority.
12:54Thank you, everyone.
12:56Master, your disciple has made some great friends. The anti-sentry hasn't been wasted after all.
13:05Yeah, I was rude before.
13:11On behalf of the Seven Shoes and all of Lang Qiu, I thank you all for your sheer help.
13:19Now then...
13:21Wait.
13:24Yeah, you're a hero. If you want to die, go die. Don't drag those ordinary folks into it.
13:34Miss Song Que, I...
13:36No, I don't want to die. And I don't want to live alone.
13:41What's happening? The Haven of Love?
13:44Where'd everyone go? Don't abandon me. Don't leave me alone.
13:49Are we going to disappear?
13:51Please save me, Lady Zaharpalm.
13:56No, that's not...
13:58Aye, this is bad. The power of union is rapidly declining, and her mind space is...
14:06What will happen if her mind space disappears completely?
14:10Those united with Zaharpalm should have perished a century ago.
14:13They've been able to maintain their consciousness until now, all thanks to the power of union.
14:19Once the mind space disappears, those souls will return to death, and Zaharpalm will be left alone.
14:28Master, is there any way to make Zaharpalm feel better?
14:33No pain, no gain. It's the path she chose, and the path she will finish alone.
14:38It's the path she chose, and the path she will finish alone.
14:44Zaharpalm...
14:46Eternal understanding, eternal happiness, and eternal utopia.
14:52And when death comes, what kind of eternity can withstand its grip?
15:09Palma, why are you crying?
15:13Everyone is leaving. Please don't go. Don't cry.
15:32There's no everyone. I only see you crying.
15:38The painful one, the helpless one, and the one afraid of solitude.
15:46They are all you, and only you.
15:52You were meant to overcome solitude.
16:00After a brief stint of chaos,
16:09is she doing better now?
16:13It's strange. Even though her power is further dissipating, her condition seems to have stabilized.
16:23Because she's soothing the dissipating souls.
16:28Selima,
16:30I'm fine. At least, I still have two lips and a few fingers that can move.
16:38It's just the backslash of authority. We won't die.
16:44Even if we're bleeding from every facial orifice, or turning into vegetables, that's different from dying.
16:56Alright, let's get back to business.
17:01While she can maintain the state of union, I can still vaguely sense her thoughts.
17:09Everyone, please don't worry.
17:15I'll stand with you, until the very end.
17:24No matter what kind of solitude it is, even if that solitude is called death.
17:39You see, even without any power, the union still exists. Little Saha still embraces her fear.
17:50Of course, it's the same for me. I just prefer to command it.
17:57Even though the form is different, it's a path we chose for ourselves.
18:01Whether we possess superpowers of the Seven Shoes, whether we live or die, this will never change.
18:10True nobility must uphold their elegance from birth to death.
18:17Alright, now that Little Saha's power is also starting to fade, it has probably already awakened.
18:25Let's go find Bai Qi. It's time for the final battle.
18:29As a servant of the Beliman Triskel, you can't afford to lose.
18:36Also, Little Que, never mind, you may leave.
18:43No worries, Selima, I understand what you're trying to say. Rest assured, I won't fail you.
18:51Master, I'm ready.
18:59It seems the decisive battle is imminent.
19:03Entropy, you should know that I once used the technique of fast food to create clones for each of the troops.
19:11In fact, in your dream, I also created a substitute body for Ms. Anadina to treat her condition.
19:19That's true.
19:21In that case, Saha and the others were...
19:25That's right. During the Rite of Shaking, I'd already reclaimed their clones for other purposes.
19:33After the Authority of Shadow failed to integrate, due to the burden of the alternative solution and the pool of shadows,
19:41we all had to enter a deep slumber one after the other.
19:45And rarely could act independently.
19:49However, that wasted century was not without meaning.
19:54During that century, relying on those clones, I infused a large amount of energy into my Astral Ring fragment.
20:02In fact, right now, it has already regained a significant portion of its power,
20:07Well, if you want to repeat your mistake, the probability of failure would be higher.
20:13True.
20:15Can't we just blow it up?
20:18Calm down, Ms. Avari. My battle plan is actually based on your approach.
20:23I don't know what you're talking about.
20:26I don't know what you're talking about.
20:29I don't know what you're talking about.
20:31Can't we just blow it up?
20:33Calm down, Ms. Avari. My battle plan is actually based on your approach.
20:44Conclusion first.
20:46I need you to assist Song Tian, who will utilize the Astral Ring fragment and re-create the integration of the Singularity.
20:54Me?
20:55Yes, you're a more suitable candidate than I am. I'll teach you the method later.
21:01As for how to achieve this extra-eternally, addressing the question raised by Ms. Kureizi earlier is a crucial step to the entire plan.
21:11Due to the presence of fear gathering, the actual situation is far worse than the nominal universe side.
21:18For a long time, we have solidified delusions and shaped shadows through the fear gathering.
21:24The things from the void have long spread throughout Langzhou, and this has actually expanded the domination of the will of shadow.
21:31Therefore, if we just hide on Ember Street and try to re-create the grand theme of creation, the actual chance of success is probably less than 10%.
21:45But, don't worry. I'm sure Mr. Bai Ji already has a plan in place.
21:53And that's also why I call it the decisive battle.
21:57So we have to severely weaken the enemy to increase the success rate, right?
22:05Even though you're heavily indebted, so long as you can take care of the creditors, you won't worry about repaying.
22:12To put it bluntly, yes.
22:14It's more accurate to say the right of shaping gives us the chance to deal with the opponents.
22:20But does that mean we have to directly confront the enemy who has complete authority?
22:25I'm afraid so.
22:27Strict conditions must be met for the actual ruin fragment to exhibit 100% or even 400% of its effect.
22:35First, the possibility of killing individuals must be close enough to the opponent to engage them directly.
22:42Confronting the complete enemy is the only way.
22:45Second, we need to wait for the actual ruin fragments to enter a state of alignment with the authority.
22:51The abnormal flame you saw on the pulse earlier is a proof of that.
22:57Only when all the flames are lit up can the actual ruin fragments unleash their full power.
23:03Either we wait until all the flames are lit up, or we engage in a protracted war.
23:08Just waiting around isn't a viable option. We need to do something.
23:12Yes, and you, Zavari, like Song Que, have a crucial role to play in this plan.
23:20I think I understand, because the power of the shoes is actually a kind of negative state for both of them.
23:27Miss Anadina, you truly are brilliant.
23:30Among the seven, only destruction engaged from a mire without being tainted, and only deception can move mountains with little effort.
23:39To accomplish the rite of shaping, most original powers have dissipated, and the duty of destroying the mire has been taken away.
23:48Are you planning to have a protracted war with an entity likely to surpass the seven shoes with two?
23:54Are we not in depth enough?
23:57Don't fret.
23:59Miss Heiyue made a point. Challenging the seven shoes with two is certainly not a long-term plan.
24:06We need to wait until all the flames are lit up, or we engage in a protracted war.
24:11Yes, and you, Zavari, have a crucial role to play in this plan.
24:15It's certainly not a long-term plan.
24:18So I hope that all of you from beyond this world can find a way to engage our opponent until the flames are truly ignited and the Azure Ring's fragments are ready.
24:28If you can achieve that, our two trump cards can be played at the most opportune moment to gain maximum impact.
24:38So Song Que and Lantern are like our reserve team.
24:41If we're responsible for the feint attack, we should set off immediately. If the enemy infiltrates Ember Street, we'll be on our back foot.
24:50Acting swiftly is good, but...
24:53Entropy, all of Oxia has your back, so...
24:57Please don't overexert yourself, okay?
25:00Yeah, I understand. Oxia has its own armed forces.
25:03If the situation truly becomes unmanageable, we can engage in a prolonged battle with the enemy, relying on the sea of data.
25:12No offense, Langqiu. For Oxia, this isn't a battle that has to be won in a single stroke.
25:18We appreciate your kindness. However, from battling the so-called treasures on Earth, relying on mass robots has little tactical significance.
25:28Instead of trusting those tin cans, value the potential of Valkyries more.
25:35On Earth, our predecessors resolved all hardships using various means and eventually transcended finality, becoming goddesses of Earth.
25:44You are a smooth talker.
25:46I get it now. Possibility is indeed a marvelous thing.
25:51However, as contingency planned, I should still be prepared to abandon Langqiu and put our rescue team on standby.
25:58Mr. Baiji, I hope you can understand.
26:02No problem. Such arrangements are only natural.
26:06Whatever the case, allow me to express my gratitude to all of you.
26:29Dark Room.
26:32We cannot let you join the Lantern for that reason alone.
26:36You should know the kind of existence we're fighting against.
26:40Regardless of how many items are at your disposal, as soon as your mind wavers, you'll be swallowed up by your own fear.
26:48If you don't have a strong purpose, why bother digging your own grave?
26:54Must I have a reason?
26:56Yes, but this isn't a background check. We're just trying to make sure you won't die on your first day on the job.
27:04I'm an envoy of justice. To protect the people in times of crisis has been my dream.
27:11Do you believe that?
27:14Well then, I'm a legendary fighter who sees the world as her playground.
27:20I'm looking for fun and helping you would be fun.
27:24You would be fun?
27:27I must remind you that you have the weakest physique in this building.
27:31You're barely stronger than those who work desk jobs.
27:36I came purely out of my admiration for the Lantern Organization.
27:41Who doesn't want to be a public official?
27:44The people in charge of the rebuild seem to have given up on further questioning.
27:49They decided to stamp dismissed on the woman's file.
27:53Wait. Okay, fine. I'll be honest this time.
27:58It's simple. Because this world sucks. There's danger everywhere and people die like bugs.
28:04Your organization sucks too. It's been here for God knows how long, but the Shadow Calamity is still ravaging the world.
28:11She paused when she said that. Possibly because memory flooded back.
28:16Everything sucks so much that it felt since a long time ago that everyone should just drop dead.
28:24And? You think you can change that?
28:29Like those youngsters who don't know true fear?
28:33No, I can't. Like anyone else, I don't have the power to make this world a better place.
28:40But I know that if I do nothing, this world will only become a worse place.
28:44If one were to pry into the woman's heart, they would discover that that night, which led her to think this way, wasn't very convincing either.
28:55At least not to herself.
28:59The interviewers were equally incapable of understanding her and didn't hesitate to stamp her files.
29:08Until...
29:11A sentence entirely stopped them.
29:15That's my reason for coming here. Believing that I had a purpose would save me from death.
29:23But that's not the case.
29:26Madam, sir, if I don't force myself to do something, I'd have given myself up a long time ago.
29:34A long, long time ago.
