"So the 'madam' you mentioned… you meant Cecilia?!"
Seeing that Phantylia had taken so long to finally admit it, Zephyro was slightly displeased.
In her eyes, Kiana, as the true scion of Destruction, naturally stood above all others.
By the same logic, Kiana's mother, Cecilia, was no different.
Though Kiana had said that her mother had little to do with Destruction, and was instead an Emanator of Abundance, she was still the one who had brought Miss into being.
In Zephyro's heart, Cecilia occupied an equally lofty place.
At the very least, someone of her status was absolutely not someone Phantylia's kind had any right to offend.
"Who else did you think Miss would come here for?" Zephyro said coldly.
Phantylia: ???
Wait, what was going on here?
Cecilia's daughter?
And that daughter was a Lord Ravager?!
In that instant, everything Phantylia thought she understood after living so many years as a heliobus completely collapsed.
"No, no, no, no…" Phantylia began struggling frantically.
"Zephyro, you're joking, right? How could Cecilia's daughter possibly be a Lord Ravager? And why are you calling her 'Miss'? We're both Lord Ravagers, you—"
"Both Lord Ravagers?" Zephyro finally showed a trace of expression, a faint look of contempt.
"You injured Miss's mother, and you still think you deserve to remain a Lord Ravager?"
Phantylia froze.
Wait, what? She was being stripped of the title just like that? Wasn't this a bit much?!
Before she could finish protesting, another terrifying pressure descended on her.
This time, Kiana finally moved.
She reached out and grabbed Phantylia, dragging her right in front of herself.
"Phantylia, you've got some nerve. You actually dared to hurt my mother."
"So what if I did?" Phantylia was restrained, but she still tried to cling to the last scraps of her pride.
"I am a Lord Ravager, an envoy of the Nanook. To carry out Destruction is only natural. You are the ones who've strayed from the proper path!"
"I'm telling you—even if the Nanook himself came here, he still wouldn't have the right to humiliate me like this!"
Kiana blinked in surprise.
She hadn't expected Phantylia to still be this stubborn at the very end, bold enough to even bring up Nanook himself.
If she crushed Phantylia here and now, then given the nature of heliobi, it would not actually be difficult to retrieve her again later—but it would take time.
Since that was the case, what to do next became obvious.
"Heh-heh… Phantylia, you seem pretty arrogant," Kiana said, suddenly smiling.
At once, the pressure bearing down on Phantylia doubled.
The sphere of light that was her true form trembled violently.
Seeing Kiana unmoved, Phantylia wanted to argue back.
After all, as a Lord Ravager, she had been sincerely carrying out the Nanook's will.
Besides, hadn't that woman Cecilia been perfectly fine in the end?
But Kiana had already lost interest in listening.
She took out a Stellaron.
Unlike the Stellarons from the system shop, which could only be used for battle and cultivation, this one was a real Stellaron—one the Stellaron Hunters had once paid her in a trade.
Soon, the power of Harmony wrapped itself around Phantylia.
And only then did Phantylia begin to feel true regret.
If Kiana were trying to kill her, she would not have been afraid. Given the properties of a heliobus, she would simply be able to rise again elsewhere.
But from the looks of it… this was not about killing her.
This was about sealing her.
And if that happened…
Phantylia's light-form shook violently as a terror unlike anything before flooded her consciousness.
"W-wait!"
"You… you can't do this! We're colleagues, comrades! If you seal me—"
Unfortunately, Phantylia never got to finish her last words.
In the end, Kiana imprisoned her inside the Stellaron.
As for when she would let Phantylia back out?
That would depend on whenever Kiana happened to be in a good mood—or had a use for her again.
Zephyro gazed quietly at the now-still Stellaron. Inside, a faint blue-yellow glow could still be seen battering itself madly against the barrier formed by the power of Harmony, unable to break through.
Then she seemed to think of something.
"Miss."
"Shall we head to the Luofu now?"
At those words, Firefly, standing to the side, shifted slightly.
So the time had finally come.
In truth, Kiana's group had already been making their way toward the Luofu for several days.
And if there was one among them who was most looking forward to it, it was undoubtedly Firefly.
Not long ago, Kafka had already told her:
That Cecilia, the Emanator of Abundance, was currently on the Luofu.
And not only that—she had apparently already removed Blade's curse of immortality.
That single piece of information had made Firefly's heart beat faster.
If even Blade's undying curse could be removed… then perhaps her Entropy Loss Syndrome could be cured as well?
At last, Kiana answered.
"Of course we're going."
After all, she was not rushing to the Luofu solely to treat Firefly.
Kiana had been locked into her identity on the space station for far too long. It was only natural that she should also start letting the outside world see more of Kiana herself, just as Cecilia had already done.
That said, before they left, there was still one more thing she needed to take care of.
"You've been following us this whole time. Isn't it about time you came out?"
As Kiana's voice fell, a patch of empty space in the starfield twisted slightly.
A figure slowly emerged.
All three of them looked over at once.
It was none other than Yaoshi of Abundance, who had only recently appeared on the Luofu.
In an instant, both Firefly and Zephyro tensed, stepping in front of Kiana as if facing a great enemy.
They had never imagined that a Aeon had been secretly tailing them.
Even if that Aeon was the famously selfless Yaoshi, this kind of furtive behavior was not exactly reassuring.
Yet to their surprise, once Yaoshi realized she had been discovered, an expression appeared on her face that seemed almost…
Guilty?
For a moment, both Firefly and Zephyro wondered if they were seeing things.
But at their level, there was no way they could have mistaken something like that.
Then Yaoshi finally moved.
"This is our first meeting, child. I mean you no harm. I only wished to take a look at you."
Zephyro and Firefly: ????
They both stood there blankly.
What exactly was this Abundance Aeon talking about? Why did they suddenly feel like they couldn't understand a single thing?
Yaoshi continued:
"Yes… you are Cecilia's child, and so I…"
Before Yaoshi could finish, Kiana had already rushed forward and wrapped both arms around hers.
"Grandma Yaoshi!"
