Masked Rider Builid.

"Wait……Could it be that the Fire Pursuer has already arrived at the Fate Abyss?!" As if all the blood in his body had been instantly drained, Long Wo's face turned pale in a flash, his lips trembling: "How… how could it be… Oulonisi has already… been killed by it?"

"From the looks of it……that's the case." Zhan Tu frowned tightly, "The Fire Pursuer's movements are far faster than we imagined; it hasn't been long since Ti An last sent him away, yet he's already arrived at the Fate Abyss. Moreover, he's already killed Oulonisi, which means the fire seed belonging to 'Ages' has been taken by him."

"To complete the Fire Pursuit Journey, we must inevitably go head‑to‑head with the Fire Pursuer." Mei Kong's expression grave, "The top priority is for Bai E and the others to rush to the Fate Abyss immediately to ensure their safety, and then… work out a way to defeat the Fire Pursuer."

"But given the current situation, I don't think Bai E and the others can defeat him head‑on." Zhan Tu paced back and forth in the lab, offering his opinion, "You all think, if the Fire Pursuer, like the Heichi, comes from beyond Weng Faluos and even seeks to seize the fire seed… could it be that he knows another use for the fire seed?"

"Huh……What do you mean by 'another use'?" Long Wo was at a loss for words, "…Zhan Tu, stop speaking in riddles."

"As far as we know, collecting fire seeds is a prerequisite for the Recreation of the World." But this Fire Pursuer is clearly not here for the Recreation of the World; if he wanted to stop it, he should have killed all the Demigods and Golden Descendants long ago. With his ability to command the Heichi and easily slay Titans… he could certainly achieve that with ease, yet he hasn't done so.

Zhan Tu took a deep breath and continued, "I can only make the following guess: this Fire Pursuer from the depths of the cosmos is collecting fire seeds for some other purpose——although we can't guess what it is now, the fire seed surely has more uses than just the Recreation of the World. For such a cosmic enemy, I still insist we must first eliminate Aigele, then, after opening the route to the cosmos, seek reinforcements from the Train Team; only then do we have a chance to win."

——

""Oulonisi——""

Ti An shouted with hands on her hips at the thick mist ahead: "Are you here——?"

Ti Ning shook her head: "No response……."

"Did we sense that *we* would come and hide in the mist? Or……."

Ti Bao wanted to speak but held back, the air fell into an uneasy silence for a moment, until……

Ti Ning suddenly lifted her head and looked behind: "Ti Bao…*we* probably have to leave. In this temple……there are still others."

"What?!"

Ti An seemed to have discovered something, walked to the front, and kept staring intently at a piece of black cloth on the ground: "Hmm……."

"Listen——footsteps, very hurried, three or four people are rushing this way." Ti Ning suggested, "Let's find a place to hide. No matter who they are, *we* must not be seen."

"Ti Bao, Ti Ning…come over and look!" Ti An picked up the black cloth piece, held it in her hand, "What is this? I feel like I've seen Ti An somewhere before……?"

As the earth trembled, Ti Bao sensed something wrong, grabbed their hands to leave together——

"Boom!"

A pitch‑black figure like ink descended from the sky, wielding a heavy sword that swept horizontally, instantly flinging Ti Bao and the two others aside!

"Wah——!"

Accompanied by a simultaneous scream, the three flew backward like broken kites, rolling several times on the ground before stopping their retreat. Ti An's head felt like it would split; she endured the discomfort and pushed herself up, but when she looked back, the sight before her only filled her with shock——

Ti Bao's eyes were tightly shut, already unconscious; Ti Ning's condition was slightly better as she crawled toward Ti Bao——but what made her despair was that the retreat behind them had been blocked, three towering black phantoms appeared one after another on the stairs, like a wall of sighs, sealing any chance of full escape.

The Fire Pursuer drew his giant sword, aiming it at Ti Bao like an arrow released from a bow!

"Fly…!"

At the critical moment, Ti An lunged to shield Ti Bao, spreading her arms as a massive "Hundred Worlds Gate" flung open once again!

A powerful suction burst forth, violently pulling the Fire Pursuer backward; at the same time the ground began to crack and crumble……but this time, without Xie Die's aid, the Fire Pursuer could barely maintain his form in the suction, and even inch forward step by step.

One step, two steps, three steps……

Each step felt like it was treading on Ti An's chest. She gritted her teeth, reaching her right hand backward, trying to open another Hundred Worlds Gate, but the light in her hand clearly flickered—her strength could no longer support opening two Hundred Worlds Gates at once.

Ti An closed her eyes, as if making a decision, and clenched her left hand tightly.

In an instant, the Hundred Worlds Gate that had been blocking the Fire Pursuer vanished; almost simultaneously, a new gate lit up behind Ti Bao—but before she could react, the light of the Hundred Worlds Gate completely engulfed her and Ti Ning.

Ti An!

Time seemed to stretch infinitely in that instant, as long as a lifetime.

She watched helplessly as Ti An's tiny silhouette froze against the backlight, saw the Fire Pursuer's heavy sword about to pierce her body, and saw Ti An turn her head toward them, wearing a bright, radiant, yet infinitely gentle smile.

"Ti Bao…………"

"See you tomorrow."

——

Mygo.

"No no no no no——!!"

"Ti An!!"

Aiyin's legs went weak, she limp‑sat on the training room sofa, biting her lips tightly, eyes fixed on the screen as the image gradually faded.

"How could this happen……Wasn't it agreed we'd meet tomorrow? Why couldn't I leave together with her! Liar! Big liar! Ti An you idiot!!" Tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes, Aiyin's voice broke with sobs: "Is there still a chance to rescue her…right now we rush to Aohema, have Bai E and the others set out…maybe we still can…………"

"…It's useless." Sushi closed her eyes and drew a deep breath. Even though she tried hard to calm her emotions, her voice still trembled uncontrollably: "It's already too late; Ti An…probably already been killed by the Fire Pursuer, her body has turned out like that—even if she weren't killed by the Fire Pursuer, the drain of the Hundred Worlds Gate would be enough to wear away her last shred of consciousness…………"
