We believe that what Illumina is doing is the right thing for the humanity.

Rediesel Wrench... We have nothing to do with them. At least, that's what the Legion Commander said.

Splendor Illumina!

They're very dangerous, but the Quarkium doesn't care at all. It'll just bury them all.

Are you saying that Hiiro... that the Legion Commander treats her subordinates... Ouch! My cheeks are burning!

Vice will never do anything that disappoints us.

She is very strict, but can be gentle at times... What? Weren't you asking me about Master Hiiro?

Don't go around inquiring about Vice and Umbraton No. 3. The Legion Commander will get angry if she finds out.

Do we have a new power we can rely on?

Did these people choose the Colossus, or did they choose you?

I've never done this before, but I'll try my best.

As expected, I failed to live up to her expectations...

Phew, is Master Hiiro watching?

Quarkium!

Blacksnow!

The Quarkium is fully charged!

Is everyone ready?

The door to the Nether Sea has opened.

I will assume the burden of the Quarkium. I will take control of them!

Sometimes I am fascinated by the milky way. Maybe other Quarkiums will streak through.

I can sense a new Black Nova!

Alchemy—Stars.

Fine. Happy New Year!

Master Hiiro was right. You actually WOULD came to a place like this in person!

The Legion Commander once said that you are a gentle person. No, it can't possibly be Master Hiiro. I don't believe it... Haha... Ahem, I'm sorry...

The Quarkium is something that didn't originally belong to this world, much like a pearl that has been washed ashore by waves.

I can feel restlessness on the other side of the door... Very well, I can make use of them.

Am I finally going to make it a part of me? The Quarkium is ready, but I...

What are you expecting? Perhaps I can help... If not, maybe I can ask Vivian for help?

I know how you feel now, and after today, everything will go back to normal. But! I will never give up!

After returning to this world, I realized that I was no longer the same... The way the Grand Marshal looked at me had become a little strange...

Research and battles are often connected. Oops! ...I forgot that you can't fight.

Don't touch this because it's really easy to lose control of the Quarkium. If it begins to stir because of you...

Although I'm no expert when it comes to the Colossus, are you sure the circuit is connected properly here?

Fine. Happy New Year!

Do you have any research tasks to assign today? It'll be perfect if they're related to the Legion Commander.

Just woke up? Or have you not gone to bed yet?

Anyone who is still working at this hour is a good comrade of the Illumina! Go away if you're not working...

Are you here to see the stars? They're nothing compared to my Quarkium!

Fine. Happy New Year!

Is there anything worth studying here? It doesn't make sense for the Illumina to send me here... u-unless Master Hiiro is also here...

Zoya appreciates your gift. It looks like something you chose randomly.

Yes, you're such a kind and generous person.

I can give this to Master Hiiro—she'll love it!!

Oh, I wasn't expecting this... th-thank you.

Quarkium, bless our companions!

Melt the attacks of the era of darkness!

My power is needed now!!

The Nether Sea is beautiful, but it is a lonely place. If it wasn't for Hiiro, I might have continued to soak there for all eternity until I drowned to death. She is like a bright light that illuminates the dark night, or like a cherry blossom that blooms in the middle of winter...

If it's possible, I want to explore the secrets of the Netherworld with the Quarkium as that lifeless world was once the same as ours. Maybe the singing that can be heard from the clouds is our only remaining clue.

The Quarkium is guiding us!
