Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[March 7th: D~3S? What the heck is this rating? Not only is it randomly fluctuating, but the range of fluctuation is also ridiculously wide!]

[Himeko: Perhaps it's because her performance is extremely inconsistent; her actions are sometimes phenomenal, sometimes inhuman? Based on experience, such inconsistent performance is often related to some kind of personality flaw.]

[Fireworks: Commonly known as "going with the wind," right?]

[March 7th: That's way too reckless. I can't even imagine how badly or clownish a top-tier SSS player would have to play to even reach D. That's a complete failure.]

[Black Tower: What's so interesting about that? That message is truly meaningful. "The mockery of fate," "A slap in the face to fate"—it seems she has been relentlessly fighting against fate, but the most important thing is that she may have succeeded!]

[Black Swan: Who exactly is this person? Even someone as shrewd as Eriol is only known as "the slave of fate." And yet, despite repeated defeats, she ultimately won by a small margin?]

[Fu Xuan: A truly extraordinary person is born with unusual qualities; a person of great virtue will surely live a long life. Such a strange and obscure assessment suggests a life filled with extraordinary events.]

Having lived half her life under the shadow of the Qiong Guan Zhen prophecy, no one understood better than her just how difficult it was to defy fate.

Even the light arrows of the Emperor's Bow, and even the Star God, cannot escape its manipulation of threads.

Now, has someone finally provided a model of resistance?

[Star: Tsk tsk, heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river!]

hum!hum!

The background music began in the darkness, and the piano music slowly pressed down to a captivating cadence.

With the atmosphere heightened, the audience had a certain intuition.

I have become a customer who has been walking into the fortune-telling shop with trepidation because of a series of recent misfortunes, hoping to find answers and avert disaster.

"Let's make a trade." The mature woman lazily tossed out a few cards, saying leisurely, "It's about... exchanging memories."

The screen finally lit up at this moment, but there was no one in sight.

What appeared before everyone was a vast blue galaxy. A "torrent" of celestial bodies swept into an abyss, transforming into a solidified "tornado".

"I dreamt of a ray of light, a crystal cup." Just as mentioned before, this is an exchange, and to show sincerity, the mature woman has already offered her bargaining chips.

At the center of the crystal-cup-shaped galaxy, a colorful spherical halo shines.

"The crystalline light spoke to me, 'Listen carefully, it speaks of a prophecy concerning the stars.'"

The scene shifts, and the magnificent thing disappears from view, with a shaggy hand covered by a leather glove resting on a plaque.

"Nameless people, people without fate."

"Coming from the other side of the wasteland, adorned with the radiance of the stars."

[Star: Me?]

[March 7th: Why is there always something about stars everywhere? Well, the first one has finally arrived!]

[Fu Xuan: So, does anyone recognize that person who's only showing one hand so far?]

[Black Swan: This is...me?]

[Dahlia: Oh dear, my dearest friend, you've changed so much, and you're keeping it a secret? Have we become so distant? Looks like I'm disliked, waaaah…]

Black Swan: You...

The black swan simply doesn't have the energy to retaliate against its "old friend's" pretentious performance.

She was overjoyed, shocked, and somewhat horrified!

She knew her own limitations.

Her skills are not weak in the Star Ocean, so how can she get the highest SSS rating on the list?

Kauslana withstood the foehn winds and even punched Nanuk; Zandal's achievements are unparalleled in the world.

Moreover, when did I ever fight against fate?

Could it be the future? Will my understanding of the destiny of memory advance by leaps and bounds in the future?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. After all, those who follow the path of destiny are somewhat influenced by idealism, and as long as their awareness is high enough, it's not impossible for them to instantly become messengers, or even star gods!

Compete against Caislana and Zandal on the grand stage of the world? What good memories can't I get?

A bright future awaits! A truly promising future!

……

The light curtain flows.

Amidst soothing, hypnotic music, the Black Swan's voice murmurs, conveying the prophecy it heard from the "crystal glass" to the "nameless, fateless."

"Go, just follow the sun and wind, and you will eventually return to my embrace."

[Star: Huh? Back in whose arms? This must be directed at me, right? I'm going to have a new mom again?]

March 7th: You...

[Yao Guang: The person who can say these words to Xing is definitely not an ordinary person. Perhaps even someone like that...]

Without keeping them waiting long, the Black Swan's hand paused on a Tao card, and she deftly picked it up.

"Just keep moving towards the light!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The melodious music suddenly turned passionate.

A symbol leaps onto the screen: a burning, shattered tower—destruction!

The five vertical characters provide an explanation: "At the center of the universe, there is a flame that burns ever brighter until it consumes the entire sea of ​​stars, all for the sake of a magnificent annihilation at the end of all reality."

The black swan began its recitation again, but this time it lacked its previous composure; its words carried an undisguised caution and fear.

"But the light began to burn, piercing through the clouds, and turned into golden death."

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before everyone's eyes, and when they opened them again, golden sand of light was falling gently around them.

Before them stood a figure as large as a mountain, golden blood gushing from its cracked skin.

Nanuk, the God of Destruction!

Everyone's pupils constricted suddenly; the immense pressure made it hard to breathe, and their legs trembled as if they were about to kneel.

They were drenched in cold sweat; the experience was so real that they couldn't tell if it was an act or if Nanook had truly pulled them into the audience.

[Virtual image: Oh my god! Xing, your mom's here! Want a couple of sucks?]

[Star: Ghost~! I don't want a male mom. Besides, it's just Aha's Akiwi meal replacement!]

[March 7th: Shut up!]

[Danheng: Gulong~ So, those words about eventually returning to my embrace were said by Nanuk?]

[Fireworks: Oh no? Little Gray Hair will become a destructive henchman, a world-ending demon king? Everyone, quickly kill her and nip the crisis in the bud! Hehehe!]

With a few fearless individuals cracking jokes, most people relaxed a bit.

Inside the Starry Sky Train, March 7th chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Hahaha, I knew the Star God wouldn't just disappear without a trace."

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Above the glittering stars, a cancer called civilization is quietly rising..." The voice was lofty and powerful, completely different from the Black Swan.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up abruptly, staring intently at the source of the sound.

Nanuk, that figure that should have been just an illusion, actually spoke!
