Previously...

Splitting their forces... Theresa, Dr. Einstein, the captain, and Bronya took the hyperion as they responded to Cocolia's distress signal.

They discovered that the Gem of Desire was sent to the sea of quanta. To which the scale of their operation danger ascended.

In the midst of attack by the Honkai beasts. Bronya entered the sea of quanta to go retrieve it at it's own.

There she met the guardian of the borders, Joachim. Welt Yang's remnant of memories, and the tyrant knight named Kyo.

Which she made another discovery that her long last friend Seele is there trapped in a infinite loop of the simulated world.

Determined the two work together to find and the answer and alas made it to the end of which the core of reason resides.

However Seele went against Bronya and attack her, which the girl just knew that Seele had another personality. A symbiont.

It explained that Seele can't go back unless she tried to bring the Core of Reason to the serpent. Promising that they'll return to the surface.

Though Bronya told them. That they have been lied and that it only intends then to be pawns for his escape.

The symbiont tried to fight, however her body gave out as she then told Bronya she gave up knowing her host wouldn't allow it.

Not even giving them a chance to talk peacefully. A monster entered the platform and caught Seele.

Weakened the two tried to fight back. But there was no way... Until Kyo arrives and gave Bronya a chance to get the core of reason.

The core of reason accepted her as a worthy vessel as she undergoes into a transformation. And it was all thanks to Kyo's backup creating a chance for her.

Before his spirit gets dragged by the realm. He gave some key points to Bronya of what will happen in the following future. And also stated that their upcoming future cannot be changed all because of the Book of Fate.

This left Bronya some thoughts, worried of the following days will happen. Although Kyo told her to never dwell on it, and continue to move forward.

While this is happening. Murata Shiro part of the helios team, have arrived at Arc City.

And he was not welcomed that much. His first intel gathering was not on his side. Apparently some thugs are mocking him, since he ain't s local, especially after the photo he showed to the bartender, they made comments which triggered his anger and decided to wipe them all.

After that he met up with Rita Rossweisse even though it's an ambush set up for him. Leaving the maid stalking is a bad taste for him.

Confronting the maid and her squad. He stated that the they will not be walking out alive. After all their goal is also to retrieve the Herrscher of Void. Which is Kiana Kaslana.

He showed them his prowess, after Shiro and the others went rouge. He dedicated himself and trained. Utilizing the power slumbering inside him.

Rita understood, that he was not the pathetic, weak man back then. The tremendous aura unleashed gave her goosebumps. She even doubt that it's his full power. And he's different from a herrscher.

Finally Rita and her team retreated, to which Shiro was relieved, in a few seconds he realized he cannot fully control the curse yet.

The following night. He got some valuable intel, along the highway he finds something unusual. Deciding to check it out. His hunch was right.
