Thanks to Rukkhadevata’s divine authority, Ren could freely travel between the Irminsul’s dreamscape and reality.
It was as if he had experienced an incredibly vivid dream.
The flow of time between the two worlds was not the same.
So, while Ren fought a grueling battle in the dream, saving Rukkhadevata and Teyvat itself—
Something equally chaotic was happening in reality.
More specifically—at the Komore Teahouse.
And it was quite the ...

A secluded world, undisturbed.
A sea of flowers in full bloom, serene and beautiful.
Petals drifted down, brushing lightly against his cheek.
Ren slowly opened his eyes.
“Mm… what time is it now…?”
He stared blankly at the pink-tinged sky, his mind momentarily foggy.
Who was he? Where was he? What had he just done?
…Oh.
Right.
His gaze regained clarity, tinged with the satisfied exhaustion of a man who had overexerted himself.

“…Stop talking.”
Ren’s words were simply too shocking.
If not for the fact that he was beyond the constraints of the Irminsul, Celestia would have already sentenced him to death.
Thinking of this, she shot him a disapproving glare.
You reckless fool. How do you even dare?
“I already told you—I’m just guessing.”
Ren chuckled, unfazed.
If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.
As long as the Traveler exists,...

“Mm.”
Ren sighed helplessly and nodded.
Gone again, huh? I don’t even have the energy to complain anymore.
“My little friend? Why bring her up?”
He tightened his arms around the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, speaking in a muffled voice.
Don’t even think about running. Got it?
“Who’s your little friend?”
Rukkhadevata gave him a light slap.
Can you be serious for once?
She had been preparing to speak about something important,...

15 Minutes Before the Arrival of [Honkai]
Schicksal Headquarters, Third Air Terminal
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions roared, drowning out all other sound.
Under the looming black halos, the Queen of Honkai gazed down upon the world from the heavens.
She narrowed her eyes—cold, detached—yet there was a trace of intoxication in her expression, as if she relished the scent of gunpowder and death.

20 Minutes Before the Arrival of [Honkai]
Aboard the Helios Transport Ship
A girl clad in an unusual outfit stepped out of a pitch-black rift in the sky.
She wore the armor of a Valkyrie—White Comet—but it was adorned with intricate patterns, deep black and faint violet lines tracing the edges of her clothing. One of her hands was covered in a black lace-like glove, from which flickered faint traces of Honkai energy, forming glowing path...

Ever since the discovery of the Kruz civilization and the rough understanding of its downfall, Belobog had hastily arranged a fairly decent welcome banquet that same day, intending to show the Xianzhou their most sincere attitude.
After the banquet, Chen Lin—who had gone more than ten days without sleep—finally had a chance to rest properly.
But just as dawn broke, the rhythmic sound of footsteps outside the door roused him from his dormant state. Judging by the weight and fre...

In the inner courtyard, a pair of delicate, fair-skinned little feet hurriedly tapped against the wet ground. Strangely enough, neither the puddles on the ground nor the raindrops falling from the sky could touch the girl—whenever they got within a millimeter of her skin, an invisible force repelled them with sudden intensity.

Her armor was pitch black, bulky, and adorned with jagged spikes resembling dragon teeth. Strange, blood-red patterns like pulsating veins ran across its surface.
