"The situation is roughly like this. Before you arrived, I was preparing to use the Alliance Jade Abacus to request assistance from the Xianzhou."
Dan Heng said, briefly recounting to Jing Yuan the discussion he had previously had with Acheron and Black Swan, as well as the information the two had revealed.
"I see." Jing Yuan nodded. "If things are really as the two young ladies said, then the situation is somewhat urgent."
"Yanqing is already waiting on Penacony. Why don't we go and get a more detailed understanding of the current situation on this City of Festivals?"
No one had any objections to Jing Yuan's arrangement.
Even the mysterious Acheron and Black Swan found it difficult to offer any other suggestions.
After all... the scale of this fleet was a little too terrifying. With the Xianzhou and the IPC together, it was hard to imagine how battered Penacony would become once the fighting started.
Even Black Swan, who was calm and confident most of the time, was now faintly excited.
Today's experiences were extremely rare and shocking memories, and to a Memokeeper, they were undoubtedly tempting.
A memory like this could completely be taken out and used to show off to her fellow Memokeepers, bringing her plenty of face, although that wasn't really Black Swan's style.
As for Acheron, her face remained as calm as ever.
But she was very confident, because even without thinking too deeply and merely taking a quick look, the combat power on their side had an almost overwhelming advantage over Penacony.
Even without counting herself, there was one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals, the Divine Foresight General, as well as a Xianzhou flagship that looked extremely strange even from the perspective of Nihility.
Acheron didn't know how she should describe it. It was difficult for her to organize the right words to describe the Luofu Xianzhou she saw in her eyes.
This enormous ship gave off an inexplicable sense of eeriness and terror when viewed from the perspective of Nihility.
It was as if something blurry and indistinct had been draped over it. Amid the convergence of extremely complex Path powers, the essence of this ancient giant ship had already undergone some kind of change.
But there was indeed an indescribable feeling within it that made Acheron feel that it was quite similar to the impression Nero had given her.
In fact, from Acheron's perspective, there were occasional, unintentional moments when Nero also made her feel that he was strange and terrifying, even though the two of them hadn't spent much time together and could only be said to have met once.
But... to unconsciously affect the Memetic Entity around him, causing it to collapse on its own into some kind of fixed reality, an individual like this could be called terrifying to any other individual in the universe.
At least, that was what Acheron thought, because it was as incomprehensible as a black sun in the sky.
And she felt that Black Swan had definitely not noticed this. Otherwise, as a Memokeeper, such a situation should be no different from the sky falling on her.
"Since no one has any objections, let's set out." Jing Yuan said.
At this moment, a very bouncy sound came from somewhere.
Led by Little Aha, three Origami Cats came bouncing over.
Boing~ Boing~
Clearly, the three of them were also going to go along this time.
Little Lan even walked straight to the front, proudly raised its head, and made a "mew-nyo mew-nyo" sound.
It looked quite imposing, but its cry was a little too soft.
"What are these...?" Jing Yuan looked at the three Origami Cats with some curiosity.
"These are lifeforms Nero created through the technology of Ruan Mei, a scholar from the Genius Society."
Dan Heng explained, then pointed at the three Origami Cats and introduced them one by one, "This one is called Little Aha, this one is Little Yaoshi, and this one..."
"...I guess its name is Little Lan." Jing Yuan's mouth twitched.
"That's right." Dan Heng nodded.
"That child actually used the names of Aeons to name these little fellows..." Jing Yuan looked at the three Origami Cats with a complicated expression.
Acheron and Black Swan watched this scene thoughtfully, then looked toward Dan Heng.
Dan Heng shook his head. "There is no Little IX. Nero said that because of Nihility, Little IX simply couldn't be created, and even if it were created, it would be the same as not creating it... At least, I've never seen Little IX, so I don't know whether Nero ever made one.
"As for Little Fuli..."
Dan Heng suddenly frowned. He thought and recalled with effort and seriousness for quite some time, finally shaking his head.
"...I forgot."

[Penacony, The Lobby Of The Real Dreamflux Reef Hotel]
Several little fellows were sitting on the guest sofa in the lobby, waiting. The ancient robot Svarog from Belobog stood to the side, looking like a quiet and silent guard.
After confirming the news that Nero had been found, Yanqing and the others who had been invited all left the dreamscape and returned to the Real Dreamflux Reef Hotel in reality, in order to ensure their own safety.
"The General said that he has already arrived at Penacony. We'll be meeting soon." Yanqing said as he looked at the message Jing Yuan had sent.
"So the Luofu really came over..." Huohuo said quietly.
"Of course. I knew there was definitely something strange going on when that thing moved by itself last time." Tail said. "Just think about those Hidden-Moon Gourds and Heartfire Bells!"
"Uh..." Huohuo really didn't want to remember the muscular monsters Nero had made.
It wasn't that she disliked them, it was just that the forms with muscular limbs were something that even a normal person probably wouldn't want to see in reality.
"It's good that Jing Yuan brought them over. Penacony is strange right now anyway. Not long ago, an abnormal change even occurred over at the Clock Studios Theme Park."
"Although the Family has already taken control of it... Hmph, in this lady's opinion, there is definitely something wrong going on here!" The current Vidyadhara High Elder of the Luofu, Bailu, said with complete confidence.
Not far away, Qingque was telling Lynx, Hook, and Clara from Belobog some things about the Xianzhou and General Jing Yuan.
As for Guinaifen... Guinaifen was whispering with a certain Cloud Knight.
"The IPC's fleet has arrived too. It seems they ran into them halfway." Topaz's voice slowly came from behind.
The IPC executive, who had been waiting outside, slowly walked over. "But I didn't expect even the Luofu Xianzhou itself to come. That was somewhat unexpected."
While the group was talking, outside, the Durandal passed through the clouds and descended from the sky, then stopped near the entrance of the Dreamflux Reef Hotel.
As the spacecraft's cabin door opened, two tall figures stepped out.
Tirian Anders looked at the Dreamflux Reef Hotel in front of him and couldn't help sighing. "I didn't expect that we would really come directly from the dreamscape to the main entrance of the Dreamflux Reef Hotel."
"Although we're still not sure whether this is the 'Real Dreamflux Reef Hotel' where you were at the time, just the fact that we traveled through space out of nowhere is already amazing enough."
Argenti said from the side, "The route the Durandal took this time was a route that had already been recorded. If we had traveled from somewhere else, I don't think we necessarily would have gotten the same result."
"This may have something to do with Nero. He once directly opened a door that could lead straight from the Golden Hour into the Dreamflux Reef Hotel, and the route this time was also the route we traveled while following Blackslash, that is, his weapon."
