[HSRGSS] Chapter 93: Fourth Script, Marshal Hua's Announcement

Added 2025-08-15 00:35:05 +0000 UTC

In the distant depths of the universe, a massive robot head known as Nous was calculating everything in the universe.

With every calculation, THEIR computing power far surpassed the limits of human comprehension.

At this moment, as always, Nous calculated the future, intending to anchor the fate of the universe—when suddenly, THEIR outer shell fell off.

"???"

It was that strange power again, able to peel off THEIR shell with ease from billions of light-years away.

Even though it did not cause any real harm, it still affected THEIR condition.

It was absurd.

THEY had never encountered such an event before.

The last time this happened, THEY could not even figure out any information about the culprit—and now, it happened again?

Ultimately, Nous traced the source directly and found the culprit's location, sending out THEIR projection, which was none other than the phantom now appearing above Jarilo-VI.

===

'Is that… an Aeon's projection? Someone here actually managed to receive an audience with an Aeon?'

Jade was stunned as she looked at the sky.

Needless to say, the phantom of the Aeon of Erudition in the sky was enough to drive the Intelligentsia Guild mad.

'I knew there was something special about this place… Could that Lucian really be meeting with the Aeon of Erudition?'

If that was the case, she would hit the jackpot this time, so she had to make sure she kept her connection with Lucian tight.

===

Meanwhile, in the command room of Qlipoth Fort, as Screwllum looked up through the window and saw Nous's projection in the sky, he could not help but shiver all over.

"As expected of Herta, her insight is still as sharp as ever, able to spot someone who could attract an Aeon's attention."

"Conclusion: Making friends with Lucian was the right choice."

Inside the lounge of Qlipoth Fort, Ruan Mei glanced out the window, also drawn to Nous's projection.

She wanted to study the essence of an Aeon's life, to see how it differed from humans, but she had been unable to do so, since she could never meet an Aeon in person.

Now she could—though it was only a projection.

Even though the Aeon did not look at her or come for her, she knew who had summoned THEM.

Knowing this, she believed there would be opportunities in the future.

"As I thought, you are the key to my future... My research will need you..."

Ruan Mei murmured to herself, then calmly took a sip of her tea.

===

As Nous's red light shone over all of Belobog, the citizens were both shocked and afraid.

Such a gigantic head hung in the sky, as if it were about to crash into Jarilo—who would not be scared?

Especially those who suffered from megalophobia—their legs had already gone weak.

Honestly, even Lucian himself never imagined Nous would send THEIR projection directly.

If he kept stripping Nous's shell, would the real one show up next time?

Suddenly, the red light covering the whole planet started to contract, focus, and gather onto one point—Lucian.

In that instant, an indescribable will seemed to crash into Lucian's mind, but fortunately, with the System's protection, there was no real problem.

"Hey, Lucian! Don't steal my spotlight again! I'm supposed to be the protagonist!"

Herta got anxious as she saw Nous focus its attention on Lucian again, just like before.

"Alright then, I'm outta here—the rest's up to you."

Lucian gave Herta an OK sign, then silently chanted inside his mind.

'Activate the script!'

[Random character script starting...]

[Jingliu]

[Randomly drawing a conceptual ability...]

[Immortal Kneel: Any living being will automatically kneel and press their palms together when you swing your sword at them. If they are unable to do so, they will be cut in two on the spot without exception.]

After Lucian activated the script, he disappeared instantly.

Losing THEIR target, Nous once again covered the whole planet in red light, evidently scanning it.

"Hey, look at me!" Herta smiled confidently and shouted at Nous. "I have a question for you! What is—"

Unfortunately, before she could finish, the red light vanished with a swoosh, and gone along with it was Nous's projection—all of it taking only three seconds.

Herta stood there frozen, her former smile stiffening in an instant.

Soon, the corners of her mouth dropped lower and lower, her face darkening as if ink could drip from it.

True heartbreak was not about yelling or throwing a fit.

True disappointment was not about crying one's eyes out.

"Droidhead, I should've refused to become your Emanator! If Idrila were still here, I'd definitely have switched sides!"

Herta was so furious she nearly passed out on the spot.

She wanted to curse Nous, but could not think of the words, so all she could do was reminisce about almost becoming an Emanator of Beauty.

"Droidhead and Lucian must have something going on—always appearing at his beck and call… I have to get to the bottom of this..."

Herta had a new goal.

She decided that from now on, she would study Lucian to find out just what it was about him that attracted Nous.

Could Lucian attract other Aeons, too?

Xianzhou Yuque, Divination Commission.

At this moment, Yueyu and Feixiao had just completed the verification from the Deca-Light Reflection Barrier Matrix.

A jade abacus floated before them, and a voice resounded from it.

[Your dream is too mysterious. Even the Deca-Light Reflection Barrier Matrix cannot reveal it, so I can only divine the future.]

It was Yaoguang's voice, the Arbiter-General of the Yuque, known as the Seer Strategist.

[At the very least, you are both beneficial and harmless to the Alliance, and both of your Spiritus are also genuine—these two points are proof enough.]

[Welcome home, Yueyu.]

Yueyu smiled at the jade abacus.

"I'll be relying on you from now on, Yaoguang."

Feixiao, on the other hand, stayed calmly beside Yueyu but was grumbling inwardly.

Yaoguang was always hiding in the shadows, controlling everything from some place nobody could find. In fact, even among the Yuque's native residents, very few had seen her true face.

It could be said that Yaoguang really was a 'master of lying low.'

Nonetheless, nobody could deny Yaoguang's contributions to the Xianzhou Alliance, and they also simply could not do without her.

[I will report this to the Alliance and reinstate Yueyu's military status. I'm sure the Alliance will be thrilled.]

"Another general's fighting power—those old guys must be overjoyed." Feixiao joked casually.

[By the way, about that Lucian you mentioned—can you bring him here? I'd like to see him.]

""Not for now—he's busy saving the world.""

Yueyu and Feixiao both shook their heads, replying with the same words in unison—even they found their timing strangely in sync.

[Very well, fate will bring us together eventually.]

[Now that this is settled, I won't keep you any longer. Please, go on.]

With that, the jade abacus shut itself off and fell to the ground before a diviner from the Divination Commission came to pick it up and put it away for next time.

Yueyu and Feixiao exchanged glances, then left together.

Both of them felt relieved.

Just as Lucian had said, the secrets of fate were obscured, and nothing about the dream could be predicted. Even the blessing of Abundance Lucian had planted in them had not been detected.

Evidently, since the Xianzhou natives and foxians already had the blessing of Abundance by default, as long as they did not overuse its power, nobody would ever notice.

Very soon, Yaoguang reported Yueyu and Feixiao's verification to Marshal Hua.

Marshal Hua, in turn, made an announcement to the entire Xianzhou Alliance.

All of the Xianzhou soon learned about General Yueyu's resurrection, leaving everyone shocked and delighted.

Xianzhou Luofu, Seat of Divine Foresight.

Sitting before a chessboard, a tall man with a light complexion, long white hair tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon, golden eyes, and a mole under his left eye made a surprised expression the moment he heard Marshal Hua's announcement.
