On the streets of Fontaine, in the center of the small clearing where Asmodeus and King stood.
That "lunar cube" began to spin faster and faster, its crimson cubic seals peeling away like melting ice.
Revealing a silver radiance as pure as water inside.
The radiance grew more intense, and its volume began to expand incredibly!
From the size of a fist, to a basketball, to a house... it broke free from the compression of space and was restoring its original grand form!
No, it wasn't just restoring.
It was "ascending the throne"!
Ascending to the throne of Teyvat's sky!
The silver radiance expanded to its limit, turning into a pillar of soft light that reached from heaven to earth, only to contract inward in the next second.
A flawless phantom of a planet, emitting cold and clear moonlight, appeared in the sky above Fontaine!
It looked so close, as if it were within reach, and the hazy shadows of craters could be seen on it.
Then, with speed beyond imagination, it soared toward the peak of the firmament!
From large to small, from near to far.
The moon was like a pearl tossed by the hand of a god.
It streaked across Teyvat's clear sky, heading toward its place behind the deep blue curtain of the night... Liyue, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Zhongli was holding a cup of plain tea, leaning against the balcony railing.
Admiring tonight's moonlit sky.
When that silver-gray "moon" appeared without warning.
And rapidly expanded until it occupied nearly half the sky.
The ultra-precious antique teacup in his hand, "carved from ten-thousand-year-old agarwood," was crushed into fragments with a "crack."
Scalding tea splashed onto the back of his hand, but he was completely oblivious.
Those golden eyes, which had remained steady for six thousand years, now had pupils slightly dilated, reflecting the two moons in the sky.
"This is..."
He muttered to himself, his knuckles unconsciously tapping the table.
"A 'moon' that does not belong to this world, carrying the 'power of prayers' from another world."
"Such massive, such pure power of prayers..."
"Just how powerful is that world?"
"Who possesses such ability?"
"To actually be able to forcibly seize the moon of that world and fill Teyvat's False Sky?"
The usually unshakeable Rex Lapis now had his brow deeply furrowed.
"The direction the moon rose from..."
"Is Fontaine?!"
"..."
"This is by no means an ordinary matter. It seems Morax will have to make a trip."
...Snezhnaya, the deepest part of the Fatui headquarters, the Everwinter Palace.
Inside a magnificent ice coffin, the long eyelashes of the sleeping Third Harbinger, [Damselette] Columbina, suddenly fluttered.
He opened his eyes and woke up.
A thought as cold and clear as the moon silently swept over the "new moon" that was rising.
"Eh?"
A syllable carrying doubt and a faint hint of joy echoed in the cold palace.
He was the Damselette, and also the once-forgotten 'Moon God'.
Regarding the "moon," he possessed a perception surpassing any god.
"A new... moon?"
"Rising from Fontaine?"
"Who is it..."
Inside the ice coffin, a very faint trace of excitement passed over the boy's exquisite face.
"Let's take a trip~"
...Inazuma, Tenshukaku.
The Raiden Shogun was honing his martial arts and will in meditation.
He suddenly opened his purple eyes, and the musou isshin in his hand emitted a clear, ringing vibration.
"The 'thickness' of the world... has increased?"
He felt the changes in the world, his eyes filled with confusion.
There was no relevant record in the knowledge given by "Beelzebul."
This unknown change made him wary.
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with Inazuma..."
...Sumeru, or Sanctuary of Surasthana.
Lesser Lord Kusanali, Nahida, looked up from the sea of books, his emerald eyes filled with concern.
"A'seed' from beyond the stars... has been planted in our world?"
"It brings different 'rules'..."
"Is it for better or worse?"
He tried to analyze more deeply through Irminsul.
But he only felt a warm, silver light.
And the 'power of prayers' for the moon from countless living beings contained within that light.
Nahida gently covered his chest.
"So many... such warm 'dreams'..."
