Acheron waited for a moment.
But not only Jingliu arrived.
Accompanying her was another white-haired Vulpin.
"Hello, great benefactor! My name is Baiheng, I'm a Sky-Faring Navigator. Jingliu is too quiet; I came to keep you company and chat."
After speaking, Baiheng secretly glanced at General Teng Xiao in the distance.
As if afraid of being discovered.
Jingliu sighed softly.
She had nothing to say to Baiheng, who had insisted on following.
"Madam Acheron, I will first take you to a place to rest. There should be a celebration banquet tomorrow, and I hope Madam Acheron will honor us with her presence."
Jingliu made a gesture of invitation, intending to lead Acheron away from the messy battlefield. As for Baiheng, Jingliu temporarily ignored her.
"Hey, don't ignore me! You'll need someone to pilot the Star Skiff to fly back, won't you?"
Acheron pursed her lips and smiled faintly:
"Then I shall trouble both of you."
The three women walked away from the war-torn battlefield together,
leaving behind the Ambrosial Arbor, which had been given a clean center part, and Teng Xiao, who didn't know how to handle the Arbor.
They headed toward the still-intact Divine Realm.
...
However,
Shuhu's rebellion ended in such a sudden manner,
which sparked curiosity in many people.
"Hmm? That huge tree branch attacking the Luofu was cleaved to death? Wasn't that where the imposter went?"
Madam Herta, while tidying up the Space Station, also received the first-hand news from the Xianzhou Luofu.
Normally, she wouldn't care about such things.
But the imposter's last signal had disappeared near the Xianzhou Luofu.
"...Indeed, that was not some kind of deformation ability but an act of completely changing bodies. So, it's intriguing that this Galaxy Ranger named Acheron has such immense power."
A smile appeared on Madam Herta's face.
She could be certain that this person named Acheron
was definitely the work of that imposter.
The time, the location, including when the signal vanished—it all matched up.
Furthermore, in the blurry visual data,
the silver ring worn on the middle finger of the left hand.
It was identical to the ring on the imposter's hand.
If this wasn't her, Herta would eat the Allspark raw.
However... impersonating an appearance can be done by many people in the universe.
But if the person's strength could also be imitated along with the appearance,
that was something that could not be ignored.
Especially with a dangerous Path like Nihility.
"What a bizarre ability. Martial power, intelligence—all can be imitated. How is this any different from creating another original?"
Herta fell into contemplation.
Pure brute force can be acquired externally, but a brain like hers, even if its power is borrowed, would have to be through a creation on the level of a Genius Society product.
The origin of this imposter was deeply worth pondering.
And what was her goal?
Impersonating a powerhouse, yet she hadn't done anything truly malicious.
Herta had previously thought the imposter intended to blow up the Space Station.
Yet, that person had even set up emergency evacuation procedures for the personnel inside.
"Fine, let me search for the whereabouts of the real Galaxy Ranger Acheron. I imagine the original would be interested in her imposter."
Madam Herta temporarily had no plans to capture the person herself.
But she didn't mind causing that imposter a little trouble.
"Heh heh heh~"
Herta lowered her head, letting out an unnerving laugh.
...
On the Xianzhou Alliance side, the other Generals had varying reactions after receiving the battle report from Teng Xiao.
A woman who claimed to be a Galaxy Ranger but actually exhibited extraordinary Nihility power.
She used the properties of Nihility to literally annihilate Shuhu.
Some Generals felt that they absolutely must try to win her over and treat this lady like a revered deity.
Such an ability was essentially the nemesis of Abundance.
They were even itching to immediately invite the person to their sectors and have her deliver a few slashes to those Abundance ruins.
But other Generals felt it was better to be cautious.
Setting aside the fact that this woman immediately slashed the Ambrosial Arbor.
Her purpose was somewhat elusive.
And a Path like Nihility...
it was almost like an indelible stain.
It was hard to imagine a normal person mastering the power of Nihility to such an extent.
As for Teng Xiao,
he was currently agonizing over how to deal with the residual Nihility power on the Ambrosial Arbor.
The Xianzhou had preliminary results from surveying the Arbor.
The power of Nihility was effectively killing the residual power of the Arbor.
This sounded like good news.
But!
The Ambrosial Arbor, evil root though it was,
was entrusted to the Vidyadhara for guarding.
It was even using the Vidyadhara's ancestral reincarnation ground as the site of its suppression.
And this was the condition under which the Vidyadhara joined the Xianzhou Alliance.
The Arbor's roots were currently beneath the surface of the Scalegorge Waterscape.
If the power of Nihility were to spread to the Scalegorge Waterscape, wouldn't the Vidyadhara be utterly screwed?
But dealing with it...
The Ambrosial Arbor was also a major restricted area on the Luofu; generally, no one was allowed to approach it.
And because of that slash,
Teng Xiao could even feel that the residual power within the Arbor was spontaneously becoming active to resist the erosion of Nihility.
In this situation, Xianzhou people were rushing to get away from it; who would dare approach it?
Weren't they afraid of becoming Mara-struck?
If they simply left it alone,
who knew what the final outcome would be?
If Nihility won and truly spread to the Scalegorge Waterscape, that would be truly disastrous.
If it were all left to the Vidyadhara...
In the recently concluded battle, the Vidyadhara suffered heavy casualties.
This already dealt a significant blow to the Vidyadhara, who have difficulties with normal reproduction.
Even Dan Feng was severely wounded and comatose.
Asking the Vidyadhara to send people to deal with the Nihility power on the Arbor now,
the Dragon Elders would likely protest again.
Protests would be manageable.
It would mostly involve compensation.
He was just afraid that some of the Dragon Elders, in their misguided cleverness, might target Madam Acheron with petty schemes.
Those Dragon Elders...
Teng Xiao felt a painful headache.
But this matter... could not be left undone.
The Ambrosial Arbor looked like it was struggling on the verge of death; who knew what kind of trouble it might cause?
"Sigh, I should ask Madam Acheron first, and then go to the Vidyadhara. Dan Feng, I don't know when you will wake up."
Although Teng Xiao felt a headache coming on when he thought about what he would face next,
this was a task that had to be done.
It was simply a major headache.
...
When Teng Xiao found them,
Jingliu was strolling with Acheron near the Exalting Sanctum.
But due to Shuhu's recent attack, the streets were still under martial law.
There were no pedestrians or vendors.
Only members of the Alchemy Commission rushing around, and Cloud Knights receiving treatment.
Baiheng was responsible for introducing Acheron to the Luofu's affairs.
"This area used to be very lively and a good place for leisure, but it's currently being temporarily used to settle the wounded. Further over there is the Alchemy Commission's Divine Realm, and the Vidyadhara's Scalegorge Waterscape is also in that direction."
Upon saying this,
Baiheng suddenly turned to Jingliu and asked:
"By the way, how is Dan Feng?"
"Still unconscious, but his life is not in danger. It seems he won't need to undergo the shedding of scales and rebirth."
Jingliu informed Baiheng of the information she had received from Jing Yuan.
This relieved Baiheng.
"Thanks to Miss Acheron, otherwise the few of us would have been truly in dire straits this time."
"..."
Acheron's lips twitched slightly, listening to Baiheng's words.
It was more than just dire straits.
If she had been even one or two minutes later,
only Jing Yuan would have been left of their group.
Just then, Teng Xiao appeared before them.
"Excuse me. Teng Xiao has an important matter and would like to seek Madam Acheron's counsel."
