The creation of the Sed Divine Key took aire day. By the time they were finished, it was already midnight.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Aleph wasn’t the only orolling the streets at midnight. There were people smoking cigarettes, people who ate snacks, and so on.
Despite this, his mind was wandering over somewhere else.
‘These achievements… Every firsts has it, and it’s no exception…’
A total of four major achievements appeared after he had sex with Kurumi.
[Touchdown: Reach the final base for the first time.]
[queror of Time: Reach the final base with Tokisaki Kurumi.]
[I’m Still Standing: Persist otlefield for more tha hours.]
[Wait, it’s Not Over Yet?: Fight three girls at oh a minimum duration of eight hours.]
The first achievement, [Touchdown], brought that [Red Strings of Fate (Upgrade)]. Every time he came inside Kurumi, his elemental sight fed back the details of her reiyoku levels increasing.
It did not stop there. Her authority of Time, which should have beericted by this world, became slightly more plete. When he asked Kurumi ter on, she told him that one of the five restricted “Bullets” became usable. She inally held the authority to meddle with the past and future, but her arrival to this world sealed them.
Now, one of her strong abilities—the power to freeze time—had returned.
As for the other three achievements…
[Unique Skill: Iigator]
[Spiritron Outfit: Fae Knight]
[Limited Instance — Izumo (See More)]
‘Another unique skill…’
Aleph couldn’t help but think of Great Sage. Its activation requirements were astri enough, to the point he painted a mark on himself for the Co to see.
‘Spiritron… These are the stuff that Heroic Spirits wore.’
He pced it aside and stared at the firy. This was where things became iing.
‘...No way.’
His heart sank due to his priuesses. He opehis entry and saw more information.
[Limited Instance — Izumo: A p destio end from the beginning. It is a pce where despair and hope collide. Unfortunately, its epilogue has been decided the moment it's prologue was written.]
[...interfering with its destirajectrants greater rewards.]
[Note 1: It is a pce where high-leveled lifeforms exist. If direct tact to the said lifeform is deemed to be fatal, the mission ends.]
[Note 2: External items (with the exception of bound items) could not be brought to the instance.]
[Note 3: A quota of two items will be given at the start of the insta allows you t items from the instance upourn. The quota expands the greater your influeo the instance’s predetermirajectory.]
…
Uhe instan Shibuya, there are more than ten notes below it. That alone expins how plicated Aleph’s travel to Izumo was. Not to mention, he was pletely familiar with this pce.
‘Let’s see. One, no, two Aeons. IX was revealed in version 2.1. Then, Finality was hio be ected to it in the version…’
Aleph has an idea on how the Co fares pared to Aeons. Honkai Impact 3rd’s Part 1.5 had a slower chapter release during the war. Sometimes, their servers shut down and the games went to a hiatus.
It was for such a reason that he was able to quickly catch up with the test story after the war ended.
‘Two Aeons… How much I could gain depends on what I do.’
Aleph’s eyes scrolled through the notes until he found a familiar one.
[Note 8: Upon entering fatal dao the projected body, the instands.]
He was familiar with how limited instanbsp;work based on his trip to Shibuya. For once, his body was a plete replica. It was simir to his state iraining space.
Meaning to say, he has a huge killer move readily avaible.
For a while, Aleph thought of his current level.
‘Based oandards on the Sanctum…’
Three months was long enough for him to gain more achievements, and in turn, rewards. His visit to the Sanctum became more often, though with varying levels of authority.
Through that, he mao peek at the ‘standards’ set by the people of that world.
Their power system described supernatural-powered lifeforms with letters. Grade F up to Grade A denoted batants who could only stay on a habitable p.
Only the Beyond Grade As could survive the radiation from outer space with ease. Each of their siderably strong attacks could destroy a p.
Later on, Aleph found out that the so-called Beyond Grade A was merely a vague term used by the ret civilizations. The older ones, such as the Evolutionary Civilization where his Evolution Cube came from, cssified them as Grade S and Grade SS. Their destructive prowess scaled with their levels.
As for the beings above that…
‘The theoretical Transdent Grade.’
It was a being whose existeself lied beyond prehension. Some of the papers he saw described them as ‘transdent’ due to the ge to their base information. All of the civilizations who wrote on the Sanctum wished for the appearance of a Transdent Grade due to unknown reasons.
Aleph could vaguely guess it was reted to a crisis of sorts.
‘Hm…’
His footsteps stopped once he arrived in front of the hotel room. The memories of st night fshed inside his mind.
He resisted that urge a ihe room.
Moments ter, Kurumi crept up from his shadows. She hugged him from behind, her heartbeats being more noticeable.
“Don’t we have something important to do~?”
“...Right.”
With a light exhale, Aleph calmed his mind dow Kurumi do her job.
His sight ged from the hotel room to a dark-red spaumerous things could be seen inside her shadow space, ranging from on utilities down to the ons Aleph gave to her.
Amidst them all, he saw three floating girls. They were encased inside a dark-red field. Time was frozen for them.
Kurumi let go of her embrace. She held his hand and guided him towards one of the girls. The puppet on her hand reminded Aleph of the girl he met before.
“Are you ready?” She asked.
“...Yes.”
The seveion taught Aleph a big lesson. Their manpower wasn't enough. He could up the honkai beasts ohe Herrschers are dealt with, but it was during that time window did destructive things occur.
At the very least, having more helping hands does not harm them.
It was just that Aleph was hesitant on “dragging” these girls to their fight. But then, Kurumi argued that he was also the reason why they could escape the predetermined fate given by the First Spirit.
In the end, he made a promise.
Click.
A phantom of a clock appeared behind Kurumi’s back. She poihe gun’s barrel to the dire of the seven-o-clock. She then poi towards Yoshino.
Bang-!
From this moment onward, time tinued for the sleeping Spirit.
