The "truth"...? Was he talking about the Very Large Rift?
But we still have the initiative.
An obvious one. The Very Large Rift is increasingly active. We cannot afford to ignore it.
But he doesn't know we have the Xiranite Nexus.
True. If the Xiranite Nexus works as intended, the initiative will be ours.
Once everything is ready, we shall head to the exclusion zone bastion — Yinglung Pass, and go forward with our plans from there.
The Task Force is standing by. I'm formally reporting back —
You just came around! That body of yours needs rest!
Okay, fine. But at least go with us. Don't want you overdoing it again...
My duty is to handle any Exclusion Zone crisis. No one knows the Zone better than me.
Or are you willing to let the Endmin face even greater risks in the North Wuling Exclusion Zone?
Hold on. The Xiranite Nexus is ready?
Yes, while you were unconscious. The Endmin and I completed the Nexus.
There's still room for improvement, but its state is close to the intended design. I'm confident we can use it to suppress the Very Large Rift.
There are others in your Task —
No. I must lead the Task Force myself.
Arcane, I understand how you feel, but certain things shouldn't be rushed...
Tianshi Zhuang, don't you think you've been repeating those words a bit too much over the years?
But this is different. We have Xiranite, and the Endmin...
This could be a rare opportunity...
Very well. Endmin, please take the Xiranite Nexus and go on ahead to Yinglung Pass.
I've been waiting for this day for far too long.
The Very Large Rift and its changes... Are they a trap?
I shall muster our forces at Wuling. The Exclusion Zone is a dangerous place. A larger force is needed to reach the Very Large Rift.
We worked hard to complete the Xiranite Nexus. It shall be well protected.
Let's go, Arcane. It's time we head to Yinglung Pass.
