At the border of the Clouded Cliffs, following the flash of a bolt of lightning... a tall, slender figure emerged.
The figure possessed long, silver-gray hair that was soft yet hid a sharp edge.
The shattered bangs fell casually across his forehead, partially obscuring his eyes and adding a touch of wildness and mystery.
Coupled with his snow-pale skin and cold, stern face, just by standing there, he looked like a silver-haired Shura.
As for this man's existence, perhaps he had not yet reached the point of being known to everyone in Jinzhou.
But in the New Federation, no matter what kind of matter it was, as long as this man's name was mentioned... no one would ever harbor any doubts.
That's right, he was undoubtedly the leader of the 'Ghost Hounds' mercenary group, known as Solaris's strongest Resonator—Calcharo.
"The aura he just released... even for me, perhaps only by entering an Overclocking(Deathblade Gear State) would I be able to fight him. With that kind of strength, why on earth was it necessary for me to protect him in the shadows?"
The man shook his head in slight confusion, muttering to himself in exasperation.
But complaints aside, he still had to complete the task he had accepted... after all, he had already received the payment.

The scene shifted to the highest point of the colossal stone statue in Norfall Barrens, where two red figures stood closest to the Threnodian.
"The speed of the Threnodian's awakening has slowed down. Is it because of the Midnight Rangers?"
On the left, a white-haired young man with a scar on his face was playing coolly with the cards in his hand while speaking to the other figure beside him.
"Faint cries will never catch His attention. Countless wandering souls on the battlefield keep tolling the death knell in His ears. How can He continue to sleep? Opening His eyes is only a matter of time."
The one speaking on the right was an elegant-looking but rather cryptic girl, her right eye wrapped in layers of bandages... In short, her first impression was that of a beautiful, slightly chuunibyou girl.
Hearing her words, the man on the left had no desire to respond at all. Instead, he opened his terminal and received an unexpected message.
"Oh? He has appeared."
After speaking, the surprise on his face turned into excitement and fanaticism.
"No wonder…"
The man's words instantly caught the girl's attention.
A fleeting ripple appeared in her eyes as she spoke, and if one looked closely, they would find that her body trembled slightly as well.
At this moment, the man's attention was entirely on the person who had appeared, so he paid no attention to his teammate's condition at all.
"He is in the Clouded Cliffs right now. Do you want to go take a look?"
The man went straight to the point. The meaning behind his words was that regardless of whether the girl went or not, he would definitely rush over immediately.
"No need. The him who has appeared here cannot do anything for me yet. I will stay behind to hear how much the 'people' here can tell me."
The girl thought for a moment and gave such a response with a trace of resentment in her eyes.
After speaking, she put on an air of complete indifference, placing one hand on her hip as she began using her ability to communicate with the residual reverberations of the place.
"Heh! That's hard to say. According to the message sent over... his power seems to have completely recovered. Are you really sure you don't want to come with me to take a look?"
With a smile on his face, the man stopped caring about the girl's choice and reaction.
Instead, with a fanatical battle intent, he took large strides to the side.
"Completely recovered? Didn't he just wake up? No, that's impossible... Could it be that that guy didn't lose his memory at all? Dammit, I have to see what on earth is going on."
The girl completely lost her composure after hearing the man's words.
While saying it was impossible, she also feared her speculation would be confirmed… causing the resentment on her face to almost materialize at this moment.
Leaving behind petals of spider lilies, her figure had already vanished from the spot.
However, just as the two of them were about to leave, a golden auspicious cloud that shrouded Jinzhou, the Black Shores, and Rinascita appeared before the eyes of everyone in both places.
Soon, the golden light from the golden auspicious cloud shone upon all the people, Echoes, and Tacet Discords in the three places.
"This is… Could it be that the will descend once again?"
Such an anomaly caused the two of them to stop in their tracks. While feeling the bath of golden light, they were even more horrified to find that with their strength, they were completely unable to avoid it.
Coupled with the endless, wide-spreading golden auspicious cloud, they couldn't help but associate it with the Lament for a moment.
And they were clearly not the only ones who had this thought.
At this moment in Jinzhou, Jinhsi had already begun mobilizing all combat personnel to prepare for battle at the first opportunity, while also shouldering the task of reassuring the ordinary residents.
Jue in the Return Capsule, also due to the golden light… once again left the Return Capsule, appearing at the summit of Mt. Firmament, gazing at the sky with unease.
The Butterfly Fairy of Black Shores immediately communicated with the Tethys System, and after receiving results of "uncapturable, unsimulatable, uncalculable." She immediately prepared to depart, intending to go to Jinzhou to bring that man to her side.
Over at Rinascita, the second young lady of the Montelli family immediately suspected Fisalia, believing all of this to be Fisalia's conspiracy.
On the other hand, Fenrico of the and Cantarella of Fisalia, upon seeing such a large-scale golden auspicious cloud, both changed their expressions dramatically… revealing sorrowful and pained looks.
It was clear they both knew the situation of their Sentinel, Imperator, so at first, they both mistakenly thought that the Sentinel had been completely corrupted by the .
Finally, here at Septimont, Augusta, the Ephor of Septimont, along with the Priestess Iuno, immediately announced that Septimont was entering full alert mode.

The scene returned to Rover and the two girls.
"This is… Lord Sentinel's miracle? Rover , what exactly happened between you and Lord Sentinel just now?"
Chixia asked with a face full of disbelief, and Yangyang also focused all her attention, waiting for Rover's response.
"Obviously, what happened between me and the Sentinel just now has nothing to do with what is happening before us. And this situation is not by the Sentinel's hand either!"
With a grave expression, Rover slowly shook his head and gave his answer.
As for Jue's strength, although he still couldn't fully gauge it now, it was definitely impossible for it to be stronger than his own peak state.
And in the deepest part of his heart, it told him... that even in his peak state, he couldn't achieve the scene before him.
Much less the heavily injured Sentinel Jue, who had just been severely drained by him earlier.
