Chapter 64

In the video.

Aventurine explained.

"This Duke of Inferno is a fire demon from Tofet, an elemental life form, and it is said that his origin is even related to a certain Genius........"

"He and his followers formed the Ever-Flame Mansion, regarding Nanook as their master—actually, they were led by this Duke, burning, killing, and looting everywhere, practicing the will of Destruction."

"They didn't even spare other Annihilation Gangs."

"I don't know what went wrong with the Family’s head, or maybe someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, but these guys actually received an invitation."

"The Ever-Flame Mansion certainly wouldn't refuse, coming aggressively, vowing to burn the Star of Celebration into a sea of fire......"

"But don't worry, they won't be attending."

"Do you know why?"

"—Because Ifrit is dead."

Aventurine turned around and said the current ending of the Duke of Inferno in an inexplicable tone.

"What happened?"

Stelle was somewhat surprised,

this Duke of Inferno sounded awesome,

and before he arrived, he threatened to burn Penacony into a sea of fire,

how did he die before he even arrived?

"They were wiped out on the way to the appointment."

"The murderer killed Ifrit cruelly in a god-like way and hijacked the invitation received by the Annihilation Gang."

"The Ever-Flame Mansion also fell apart and scattered like birds and beasts—"

"And after that, a mysterious Galaxy Ranger arrived in Penacony, checking into the hotel with a music box....."

"Do I need to continue, friend?"

Aventurine smiled.

"Is there any other proof?"

Stelle couldn't quite believe Aventurine’s one-sided story.

"Galaxy Rangers are elusive, and they rarely interact with each other; this outfit is too easy to wear, as long as she doesn't admit it, there is no proof of death."

"The IPC has ways to investigate, but it also takes time."

"So, friend, it’s time for you to make a choice...."

"You can leave here right now, immediately, without looking back, and forever give up the chance to approach the truth."

"Conversely, you can also accept my invitation and learn a fact, a fact that is enough to overturn Penacony!"

"I need your help, so I will wait for you—but I won't wait too long."

"When you’re ready..... follow me."

"As for whether to cooperate with me, it’s not too late to decide after seeing that fact......"

After Aventurine finished saying these words,

he left time for Stelle to think.

He himself walked to another place.

Furina: "Shocking!!"

Furina: "Another shocking secret!!"

Furina: "Miss Huang Quan...... is actually an Emanator?!"

Palais Mermonia,

Furina listened to Aventurine’s words,

and only felt that she was thunderstruck!!

Originally, it was just a group of people invited to attend the grand event.

But as events have developed to this point,

it has simply exceeded everyone’s imagination!

Not only are various factions appearing one by one,

but their identities are becoming more terrifying than the last!

Now, even an Emanator has actually appeared!

Hu Tao: "Aventurine is a merchant, after all. Just how much water is in a merchant's words is hard to say for sure."

Hu Tao: "Miss Acheron does seem very mysterious..."

Hu Tao: "But to call her an Emanator, that seems a bit of a stretch, doesn't it?"

Venti: "Indeed, from the previous educational video, we know..."

Venti: "Emanators are usually directly selected by an Aeon and granted immense authority."

Venti: "They possess power beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

Venti: "Such beings, if they don't act, they don't; but if they do, it should be earth-shattering!"

Venti: "Yet Miss Acheron has not displayed the power of an Emanator before now."

Zhong Li: "However, from beginning to end, this Miss Acheron hasn't truly made a move."

Zhong Li: "Even when facing Sam, she only used her scabbard to defend, with no intention of drawing her blade."

Zhong Li: "From this, it is evident... this Miss Acheron... has been hiding her true strength!"

Clorinde: "I wonder if you remember Miss Acheron's previous explanation for why she didn't save Miss Firefly."

Clorinde: "It was because the meaning and the cost of drawing her blade would be profound, leaving her no other choice."

Clorinde: "Does this imply that if she were to draw her blade, it would cause incalculable consequences?"

Dan Heng: "It is not impossible..."

Dan Heng: "If she truly is an Emanator, then the power of that single strike would be enough to shatter the entire dreamscape of Penacony!"

Dan Heng: "At that moment, she would become the mortal enemy of The Family!"

March 7th: "But I still find it hard to believe that Miss Acheron could be an Emanator?"

March 7th: "If she really is one, then she’s hidden it way too well, hasn't she?"

Jing Yuan: "Tsk tsk tsk, this really is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own magic!"

Jing Yuan: "I didn't expect the grand event in Penacony to attract so many powerhouses, and now there’s even a suspected Emanator!"

Welt: "General Jing Yuan, you are an Emanator of The Hunt. In your view, is this Miss Acheron truly an Emanator?"

Jing Yuan: "As for that..."

Jing Yuan: "In my opinion, there is indeed a high probability that Miss Acheron is an Emanator."

Jing Yuan: "But she certainly does not belong to The Hunt!"

Jing Yuan: "And judging by her aura... perhaps... she is an Emanator who defies conventional understanding!"

Herta: "Oh? As expected of a General of the Luofu Xianzhou Alliance, you have a discerning eye!"

Herta: "Correct, she is indeed a very unique Emanator."

Stelle: "Two big shots have come out to confirm it!"

Stelle: "So that means this is pretty much a done deal, right?"

Jing Yuan: "Ha, that’s hard to say. I’ve been busy with official business lately, so it’s inevitable that my eyes might be dim."

Herta: "As for my previous words, I take no responsibility either."

Sampo: "Hey sister, did you really cut down Duke Inferno? Acheron?"

Acheron: "Apologies... I don't quite remember..."

Paimon: "Eh?!"

Paimon: "What’s with that vague tone?"

Paimon: "You don't even remember if you cut someone down or not?"

Lisa: "My, it seems they were just an insignificant little character."

Lisa: "That’s why Miss Acheron wouldn't take them to heart."

Aventurine: "Laughing to death. If Duke Inferno knew that after his death, the killer didn't even remember what he looked like, he’d probably be angry enough to come back to life!"

Dr. Ratio: "You’re overthinking it. I don't believe Duke Inferno could escape alive from the hands of an Emanator."

Dr. Ratio: "No matter how monstrous his abilities were, he shouldn't have been able to leave behind any contingency for resurrection."

Lumine: "Listening to Aventurine’s previous introduction, this so-called Duke Inferno was a complete and utter villain."

Lumine: "For such a person to die should be a great thing for the universe."

Seele: "Exactly, such trash deserves to die!"

Ganyu: "Miss Acheron can be considered to have rid the people of a scourge."

Ganyu: "Although that might not have been Miss Acheron's original intention..."

Boothill: "Son of a biscuit, that Duke Inferno probably didn't even last one strike before dying."

Boothill: "What a waste of space!"

Stelle: "Are you saying you could last longer than him?"

Boothill: "Hey, I didn't say that!"

Boothill: "But I don't care if she's an Emanator or not, impersonating a Galaxy Ranger is a no-go!"

Furina: "Judging by Mr. Boothill's tone, Galaxy Rangers are also very powerful, then?"

Furina: "Even to the point of not fearing Emanators!"

Navia: "Perhaps there are even Emanators among the Galaxy Rangers?"

Charlotte: "That is quite possible."

Boothill: "Pfft, so what if they're an Emanator?"

Boothill: "It’s not like we Galaxy Rangers haven't killed Emanators before!"

Boothill: "Back in the day, that Lord Ravager Zulo was surrounded and killed by us Galaxy Rangers!"

Mona: "Wow, that sounds amazing!"

Mona: "Then how many Emanators did you send?"

Boothill: "How many Emanators?"

Boothill: "Heh, we Galaxy Rangers aren't that well-off, son of a biscuit."

Boothill: "Not a single Emanator; we just threw our lives at them until they died."

Lumine: "Threw... threw your lives at them?!"

Boothill: "What else were we supposed to do?"

Boothill: "Do you really think these Emanators are pushovers?"

Nahida: "But... why would you do that?"

Boothill: "Why? For justice, of course!"

Boothill: "Those animals, the Lord Ravagers, wantonly carry out the will of Destruction across the universe, causing countless galaxies to suffer!"

Boothill: "As an organization of righteous heroes, the Galaxy Rangers naturally couldn't just watch these animals live peacefully in this world!"

Diluc: "Willing to sacrifice yourselves to oppose a powerful Emanator for the sake of justice in the universe?"

Diluc: "That truly is a great organization..."

Zhong Li: "Mr. Boothill's few understated words are enough for me to imagine the tragedy of that war back then."

Zhong Li: "By general rational standards, they are heroes indeed!"

Venti: "Exactly, they are incredible heroes! Their deeds should be compiled into magnificent poems and sung throughout the universe!"

Acheron: "Unfortunately... their deeds are known to few today, and their tracks have almost vanished."

Boothill: "So you’re using that as an excuse to impersonate a Galaxy Ranger?"

Boothill: "Thinking no one would come to settle the score with you?"

Boothill: "You listen to me! We Galaxy Rangers might be down on our luck now!"

Boothill: "But since we could kill one Lord Ravager, we can kill a second Emanator!"

Boothill: "Don't doubt the resolve of the Galaxy Rangers. You should know what true 'Hunt' really means!"

Acheron: "Apologies, I have always held the Galaxy Rangers in high esteem. They are all heroes; that is something I will never deny."

Acheron: "As for why I impersonated a Galaxy Ranger... you will know the reason, I promise."

Boothill: "Heh, fine then. Let’s see what you’ve really got up your sleeve!"
