Chapter 214: A Glance

"Do you recognize me?"

Noah asked with some confusion while opening the Shorekeeper's banner and starting to pull.

"Yes."

While Noah was pulling, the Shorekeeper nodded and took the initiative to explain:

"As the second instance, I can to some extent be exempt from the influence of time sequence authority."

"Therefore, I remember that you once tried to rescue me from the Death Star."

"I am very curious, why do you carry her frequency on you?"

As they spoke, those violet eyes revealed an unprecedented longing and hope:

"I have not received any information about her for twenty years. May I ask, do you know... where she is?"

"I also want to know the answer to this question."

Noah felt somewhat helpless as golden light shone brightly on the panel.

50 pulls, got a pity pull on Rover's Havoc 3-chain.

50 pulls, obtained the Shorekeeper.

After exchanging a large amount of Astrite for Radiant Tide, he finally pulled the base Shorekeeper.

"I don't know where she is. As for why her frequency sometimes appears on me, it's because my Resonance ability allows me to use other people's Resonance abilities."

After giving a simple explanation, Noah immediately switched his character to the Shorekeeper and demonstrated it directly in front of them.

A magnificent blue halo domain was released with him at the center. In an instant, it expanded and covered all the unconscious Black Shores Bloom Bearers and guests lying on the ground.

Shorekeeper Resonance Liberation - Final Loop: Deploy a shallow analysis star domain, continuously restore HP to nearby team members within the star domain's effective range.

After learning the reason, the Shorekeeper's gaze dimmed again. Looking at the people who had fainted all over the ground, they did not mind that Noah was using their ability right in front of them. Instead, they asked softly:

"The Tethys System... no, Lament · Slaughterblade of Carnage... what happened to it?"

"It has been completely resolved."

To prevent the Shorekeeper from asking various questions, Noah simply explained the entire sequence of events in a concise manner.

From Aalto going to Huanglong's Jinzhou to find him, to the first entry into the Black Shores, then going to Rinascita to borrow Imperator's power, and now entering the Black Shores for the second time.

While speaking, he clicked on the ten-pull summon.

30 pulls, pity on Rover's Havoc 4-chain.

70 pulls, obtained Shorekeeper 1-chain.

40 pulls, pity on Rover's Havoc 5-chain.

20 pulls, obtained Shorekeeper 2-chain.

Why is it always a pity pull? Rover, are you asserting your dominance?

Noah looked at the last 40 Astrite left in his backpack with some toothache, secretly complaining that Astrite resources really didn't last long.

It was a bit unlucky, but still within an acceptable range. No big problem.

He then opened the permanent character pool and spent the remaining 35 Lustrous Tide, successfully getting a pity pull on Rover's Havoc 6-chain.

Satisfied, Noah closed the panel. He had also just finished explaining everything:

"Although Slaughterblade of Carnage has been destroyed, all the things in your Black Shores have also turned to ashes along with it. You don't mind, right?"

"...I don't."

Having fully understood the whole story, the Shorekeeper's expression became serious. They bowed to Noah in thanks:

"Under the influence of the Lament, everything in the Black Shores should have been completely destroyed anyway. I sincerely thank you for your help to the Black Shores. If you do not mind, the Black Shores is willing to be your most reliable ally."

"Uh—"

Noah inexplicably thought of the ruins on the upper and lower levels outside, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:

"I appreciate the thought, but the Black Shores has become like this. How about... you take care of yourselves first—Oh right!"

As if remembering something, Noah suddenly asked the Shorekeeper:

"By the way, do you know why the Tethys System suddenly turned into a Lament? Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been a Lament appearing here in the Black Shores."

"This... For a global Lament, it is possible for it to appear in any location."

Mentioning this topic, the Shorekeeper seemed somewhat hesitant but still shared what they knew:

"During the time I served as the core code for Slaughterblade of Carnage, I analyzed its deepest underlying content."

"It may sound absurd, even horrifying, but the truth is—the reason the Tethys System mutated into Lament · Slaughterblade of Carnage was—"

"A Glance."

...

Septimont.

The Grand Colosseum Tournament would open in one month, and the city was bustling with preparations for the event.

Two figures dressed primarily in black and red walked along the edge of the street. Their distinctly different clothing style from the locals occasionally drew curious glances.

"We've finally arrived at Septimont. Phrolova, I spoke with Leviathan last night and reached a small cooperation."

Hearing Cristoforo's sharing, Phrolova slightly turned her head:

"Talking with a Threnodian... Has it recovered so quickly?"

"It can't exactly be called recovery. It's just a small portion of its activated fragments—falsehood, cunning, and the desire to strengthen its own power."

Cristoforo elegantly shook his head lightly and recounted a story in a poetic tone:

"Leviathan once tried to create its own Resonator. After countless attempts, a failure appeared—Mya."

"Back then, the Threnodian wanted to use Mya to find the central hub of Septimont and corrupt the beacon system, but unfortunately it failed."

"Because this girl, who could not resist its mental erosion, would rather die than compromise. She plunged a sword into her own chest and jumped into the sea before choking to death on her blood."

Hearing Mya's tragic ending, Phrolova lowered her gaze with some regret. But then she saw Cristoforo suddenly spread his hands with an admiring expression:

"Interesting, isn't it?"

With one sentence, Phrolova's regretful gaze toward Mya turned into disgust toward Cristoforo.

What a disgusting dog, Cristoforo.

"I'm not interested in your taste." Phrolova shook her head. "I'm only curious what kind of story you wrote for Septimont this time."

"Easy to say. I will select a champion and have them walk the same path Mya once took, until they completely become Mya. The Threnodian will use this champion as a medium to bring the Black Tide down upon Septimont."

The more Cristoforo spoke, the more excited he became, as if completely immersed in his own art:

"This script will be reenacted continuously. The descent of the Black Tide will become a cradle that strengthens the Threnodian's power. When the Threnodian's power is sufficient, the script will replace reality, and the Wandering Heavenly Kingdom will spread from Septimont to the entire Rinascita."

"Last time you wanted to destroy Ragunna, and this time you want to destroy the entire Rinascita?"

Phrolova frowned again upon hearing this:

"What if it fails?"

"Impossible."

Cristoforo spoke with absolute certainty:

"I cooperated with the House Silva to place the salvaged Mya inside the Minos Sewers within Septimont City. There is absolutely no way anyone can find the hidden base and destroy my plan."

As he spoke, he pointed forward to the corner of the street:

"After passing there, we can see the entrance to that stronghold."

The small street soon came to an end. They turned the corner, and a bustling construction team immediately came into view.

Seeing this, Cristoforo's expression changed slightly. Phrolova rolled her eyes at him, her face turning cold.

Walking closer, Cristoforo took out a small bag of money and handed it to the nearest worker, greeting politely:

"With a howl in greeting, sir. May I ask what construction project you are working on?"

The worker weighed the money bag and immediately beamed with joy, telling everything he knew:

"It's said that someone sent a report letter to the Ephor, claiming that someone in the sewers was using corpses of the deceased for evil experiments."

"The Ephor sent the Oracle Maiden to investigate. Heh—sure enough! That blue twin-tailed Oracle Maiden was really domineering. She directly told the Ephor to kick the House Silva out of Septimont."

"We are now cleaning up the aftermath of this base. The garbage will be cleared out soon."

After listening, Cristoforo froze for a moment and couldn't help asking again:

"Then Mya—oh no, what about the original corpses here?"

The worker gave him a sideways glance:

"Burned them, of course."
