15 17 301 Gabriel How unexpected. You have Huaxu in your hands, yet you did not notice my presence... 1
16 18 301 Gabriel Ah. No. Precisely because you "have" Huaxu, that you were unable to detect me. You have worked hard, my comrade. 1

18 19 301 Gabriel's pulls his monstrous hand out of Qu's body, then grabs her before she could fall and hurls her body flying. Before you and the others can even react, Qu lands out of reach.

24 23 301 1 Gabriel You feel anger, do you...? You feel wrath, indignance, for your enemies. 2
25 24 301 A strange light glows in Gabriel's hands. A pristine white cube shimmers in his hands, changing, fusing, deconstructing.
26 25 302 What's this? 26 Is this Huaxu? 27
27 26 28 301 Gabriel A part of Huaxu. Pretty as a diamond, is it not? 2
28 27 28 301 Gabriel This is a part of Huaxu, a type of backdoor authentication. Qu seems to have put the true Huaxu elsewhere. 2
29 28 301 Gabriel It is a shard. But the part, is the whole. Control this, and control the system. Which is why Qu wanted you to take this. 2

32 29 301 1 Ayla If that's the case, then give it back to us, Ascendant! 1
33 30 301 Ayla springs into an attack, to which Gabriel dodges with a mere step, even putting his book away before Lee's bullets and her scythe reach him.

35 31 301 RImgBg1Shake Then he waves his behemoth of a hand again, stirring up a small windstorm.
36 32 301 Ayla We can't close in on him... 1
37 33 301 Gabriel I am grateful to you. Sincerely. 2
38 34 301 Gabriel All thanks to you, we have avoided a potential in-fight between the Ascendants. There is little to be gained from conflict, only sadness. 2
39 35 301 Ayla You did something like that earlier and now you're telling me you'll feel sad?! 1
40 36 301 Gabriel I intend to bring Miss Luna's wish into fruition. Do understand where I come from. 2
41 105 302 What do you all want? 37 What is her wish? 38
42 37 106 301 Gabriel We want what Miss Luna wants. And she wishes to create a world that can coexist with the Punishing Virus. 2
43 38 106 301 Gabriel Miss Luna's wish is to create a world that can coexist with the Punishing Virus. 2

52 41 301 Gabriel Increasing the number of Ascendants is one of them. What's more important is to fulfill our duties as Ascendants. 1
53 42 301 Lee Duties? 2
54 43 301 Gabriel We filter out individuals suitable for survival in the next world, and invite them to join our ranks. 1
55 44 301 Lee Playing gods now, you people? Such a thing is... 2
56 45 301 Gabriel No. We are but angels. Miss Luna is the one to take the divine throne. 1

59 46 301 1 Gabriel Gray Raven, I have observed you throughout your journey. You self-overcome. You tend towards the sublime heights. You deserve to live in the new world. 1
60 47 301 Gabriel So what say you? Would you join me in fulfilling Miss Luna's wish? 1
61 402 302 No. 48 What happens to the people who don't make the cut? 49
62 48 50 301 Gabriel Then... 1
63 49 50 301 Gabriel They will become the foundation of the new world. There are always such people in every era, are there not? Always sacrifices for Moloch. 1
