3 3 301 DialogEnable When the lifeless Lithos falls to the sea surface, a lot of Corrupted suddenly show up in the water, stopping Bianca from retrieving Lithos' frame.
4 4 301 At the same time, the Omega Weapons are running at their maximum power in the entire battle. The Red Tide that once spread the entire sea surface has been properly contained.
5 5 301 Sieged by humans, the giant Hetero-Humanoid on the sea surface is also showing signs of fatigue.
6 6 201 1 500494 5
7 7 301 1 Karenina We are running out of Omega Weapons. Somebody give that thing a final blow! 1
8 8 301 Karenina rants furiously.

11 11 301 1 Bianca Leave it to me, Karenina. 1
12 12 301 Bianca replies after returning from the battle on the ocean surface.
13 13 201 1 500494 4
14 14 301 1 Karenina Bianca...! Are you hurt? You were lost at the bottom of the sea for days! What happened?! 1
15 15 202 1 1
16 16 301 A young male soaked in rain and vital fluid walks forward with the remaining Purifying Force members behind. He nods at Bianca.
17 17 301 Arssarius Captain... I knew you would be fine. You are strong. 2
18 18 201 1 500532
19 19 301 1 Bianca Don't worry. I'm fine. 1
20 20 204 1 4
21 21 301 Bianca looks around at the remaining members of the Purifying Force, who had suffered a substantial loss after engaging in battles with Hetero-Creatures for days. This young kid is still quite new, but he was forced to take up the role of the temporary captain.
22 22 301 Bianca grabs her Swordstaff as she gazes at the giant humanoid in front. Its distorted body has almost inflated to the height of a building.
23 23 302 What is that giant humanoid? 24
24 24 301 Bianca The Ascendant has blended Chiko's consciousness with the Hetero-Humanoid's body... In other words, she also forms part of that monster. 1
25 25 302 Chiko... 26
26 26 301 She was the Vice-Captain of the Purifying Force team lost at the bottom of the sea.
27 27 204 1 4
28 28 301 Bianca Yes. She protected me after Copperfield Aquarium collapsed. 1

31 31 301 1 Karenina Are you talking about that monst... I mean, Hetero-Humanoid on the sea? 2

33 33 203 1 0.25
34 34 301 Bianca Chiko fought till the last moment before she was killed by the Ascendant. 1
35 35 301 With unprecedented might, Bianca gazes at all the Purifying Force members as they gather around in awe. They have never respected and feared their captain so much.
36 36 301 Bianca Vonnegut used Chiko as part of his Hetero-Humanoid experiment, but she was not simply consumed by that monster. Her mind still lives within— 1
52 52 301 1 Bianca Her consciousness was crumbled into pieces. She could only express her will in a fragmented manner. 1
53 53 301 Bianca —Still, her remaining consciousness had been trying to protect us. 1
54 54 202 1 1
55 55 301 Arssarius That ever-expanding monster... is Vice-Captain Chiko...?
56 56 502 DialogDisable
57 57 302 Has she been devouring the Hetero-Creatures that spawned in the sea... 58
58 58 302 To buy more time for humans? 59
59 59 201 1 500532 4
60 60 301 DialogEnable 1 Bianca ...I don't know. Perhaps it was just the instinct of the Hetero-Humanoid during its evolution. But I prefer to believe... that she is helping us. 1
61 61 301 Bianca Like I said, her shattered consciousness still lives in that monster... 1
62 62 301 Bianca It feels more like... She is struggling to end her life now. 1
63 63 201 1 500373 4
64 64 301 1 Harley Jo Are you saying that monster is actually helping us? 1
65 65 302 Whether she is intentional or not. 66
66 66 302 We are benefiting from the fact that she is devouring the Punishing Virus and Hetero-Creatures. 67
67 67 201 1 500532 4
68 68 301 1 Bianca's terminal has received a comms request... It is a message from Babylonia. She frowns when she sees the name of the sender.
82 82 301 Vesalius hangs up abruptly. Teddy starts to dig through the files of devices in the camp as if she has recalled something.
83 83 202 1 1
84 84 201 1 500495
85 85 301 1 Teddy Right... Bianca, before the Engineering Force came to the surface, the Science Council asked us to bring your equipment. That woman said you would definitely make use of it. 1
86 86 203 1 0.25 400
87 87 201 2 500494 4 -400
88 88 301 1 Karenina When was that...? Why was I not aware of it...? 2
89 89 204 1 13
90 90 301 Teddy Hah... She was probably concerned that your violence might break it, given it was highly complicated. 1
91 91 204 1
92 92 401 2 1511
93 93 301 Teddy locates the container she was asked to bring along. To her surprise, there is a man in a white shirt curled up inside.
94 94 202 1 2 1
95 95 301 ??? Ahhhhhhhh!
96 96 201 1 500494 5
97 97 301 1 Karenina Ahhhhhhhh! 1
98 98 301 The screaming inside the container has also shocked Karenina when she tries to open it.
99 99 202 1 1
100 100 201 1 500495
101 101 301 1 Teddy Yarha...? Why are you here...? 1
102 102 203 1 0.25 -400
103 103 201 2 500499 2 400
104 104 301 1 He is a scientist working for Kurono. Back in the lunar base, he spent some time with the Engineering Force duo and helped them.
105 105 301 Yarha You almost scared me to death... I thought the Corrupted had pried open this container. 2
106 106 301 It only takes Teddy a few seconds to figure out why.
107 107 204 1 13
108 108 301 Teddy Hah... I get it. That woman must be your boss. She must be punishing you for helping us out in the lunar base earlier. 1
109 109 301 Yarha Haha... She said, "Since you broke the zero-point engine, you should serve as a shock absorber to protect this gift." So... 2
110 110 301 Looks like Yarha's data of the zero-point engine saved his life. Otherwise, considering Kurono's way of doing things, the man named "Yarha" would have disappeared from the world.
111 111 204 1 4
112 112 301 Teddy So where is the "gift" she mentioned? 1
113 113 204 2
114 114 301 Yarha nods and takes out a machine.
115 115 201 1 500494 4 -400
116 116 301 1 Karenina Is this a... CUB? It has been configured to fit Bianca's Stigmata. 1
117 117 301 Yarha Yep. When expanded, this CUB can let Stigmata ride on it to achieve high-speed maneuver on water surface and low-attitude airspace. 2
118 118 202 1 2 1
119 119 201 1 500532 4
120 120 301 1 Bianca Now I can get close to Chiko... 1
121 121 301 Bianca Commandant, let us engage in a deep M.I.N.D. connection. 1
122 122 301 Bianca Chiko's final wish was to let me end her suffering. That wish is also mine. 1
123 123 301 Bianca ...I promised her. 1
124 124 301 You look into Bianca's genuine eyes. Her emotion is so strong that you cannot turn her down.

129 129 301 1 You then look back at other Gray Raven members. Liv has a serious look on her face. Lee also presses his lips together, but you can tell he is not objecting. Lucia just nods to you in all seriousness.
130 130 301 Lee The Science Council used the tissues of the Hetero-Hive Mother to develop this device. I must admit, Bianca's new frame is more powerful than most of the Constructs here. 2
131 131 301 Lucia I will cover you with the rest of us! 1
132 132 301 Liv Don't worry, Bianca. Commandant, I will constantly monitor your status... To ensure the stability of the deep connection. 3
133 133 202 1 2 3 1
134 134 301 Arssarius Nobody knows Vice-Captain better than you, Captain... Still, you must be careful.
135 135 201 1 500494 5
136 136 301 1 Karenina Dammit... We are sending you alone once again, Bianca... 1
137 137 201 1 500532 1
138 138 301 1 Bianca I'm not fighting alone. 1
139 139 204 1 4
140 140 301 Bianca I have everyone on the coastline behind my back. 1
141 141 201 1 500374 9
142 142 301 1 Yata Looks like you have figured out what to do. Time to give an order! 1
143 143 201 1 500506 1
144 144 301 1 Noan Yes. We are all ready. 1
145 145 201 1 500522
146 146 301 1 Palma Godspeed, C-a-p-t-a-i-n. 1
147 147 201 1 500532 1
148 148 301 1 Bianca looks at Palma and nods with a smile. Her smile looks nothing different from the past. The look of her frame no longer matters, for everyone understands it clearly at this moment—that Bianca is still Bianca, or rather, she is more determined than ever.
149 149 302 Let's roll. All combatants, get into position. Cover Bianca! 150
