Solaris' Strongest Resonator Chapter 64 64: Retroact Rain

Aalto chuckled awkwardly, "Ahem, sorry about that, couldn't switch styles fast enough… But! The real highlight is still ahead!"

"One day, almost overnight, the mbers of the Court of Savantae suddenly vanished!"

"The last ssage left behind by that mysterious professor of the Court of Savantae was this—"

"Do you want my research? If you do, then go to the ruins of the Court of Savantae… Search for it. I've left all the wealth I've gathered there…"

"So? Aren't you all curious about these rumors?"

Lucian yawned, bored.

Rover: "Lucian, let's go back!"

Aalto: "…"

He quickly tried to stop them, "Hey hey hey, don't leave yet! We really do have an important mission this ti!"

"I'm sure the Magistrate has already told you about the functions of the Black Shores."

"We've set up 'Resonance Beacons' all over the world to monitor The Lant. This is how we collect and observe data on The Lant."

"As the old saying in Jinzhou goes—'A tiny discrepancy can lead to a huge error.' Every 'Resonance Beacon' is a crucial sample for us."

"After the disappearance of the Court of Savantae mbers, the 'Resonance Beacons' we installed there were found to be damaged to varying degrees."

"Not long ago, we detected anomalies in the Black Shores' Lant monitoring system. We suspect this is related to the damaged beacons in the Court of Savantae."

"So, the Black Shores sent us here to investigate the Court of Savantae in person."

"Our main task is to retrieve the Resonance Beacons, but who knows? We might even find so rare treasures in the Court of Savantae!"

Encore teased, "Aalto, your little sches are so loud even Encore can hear them…"

Aalto: "This is called 'going with the flow.' What does a kid like you know… Let's go, let's go!"

Lucian: "Treasures? The kind that can be sold to Chen Pi for a fortune?"

Aalto: "Exactly! The Court of Savantae has been around for years. There must be—"

Before Aalto could finish, Lucian vanished from his sight in an instant.

Aalto: "…?"

Rover sighed and shrugged, "Such a money-grubber. Let's hurry in too."

…

The three caught up with Lucian, only to find him stopped in front of a group of Tacet Discords.

Aalto held up a Tacet Discord detector, puzzled, "Huh? Did my detector break? There are so many Tacet Discords, but it's not reacting at all."

Encore shared her thoughts, "Encore thinks these Tacet Discords just popped up out of nowhere!"

Lucian rubbed his chin, "Popped up? This feels familiar sohow…"

Rover stepped forward, "Rember that story Yangyang told us about the 'Battle of the Crescent Blade'?"

Lucian suddenly realized, "You an… the 'Reverse-Flowing Rain'? It does seem similar… But…"

Lucian looked up at the sky. A light drizzle was falling, but it should just be normal rain, right?

And what exactly was the "Reverse-Flowing Rain"?

Aalto: "Let's take them down first…"

Even Encore was a Resonator, and all four of them were skilled fighters. They quickly dispatched the Tacet Discords.

Afterward, the group arrived at the entrance of the Court of Savantae ruins.

Aalto: "This is it."

He sighed as he looked at the chanism before them:

"Tsk, these people always love their weird puzzles."

"No wonder no one's been able to enter the Court of Savantae for years. Their security system is ridiculously strict."

Encore retorted, "Aalto, didn't you accidentally trigger the security system earlier, causing the gate to shut again…?"

Aalto coughed awkwardly, "Ahem… Anyway, we need to figure out how to open this door."

He examined the chanism closely, "This thing looks like a 'sundial.'"

Rover: "Let handle it. I've got experience."

Rover adjusted the chanism a few tis, and with a loud rumble, the gate opened.

Lucian: "As expected of you!"

Rover puffed up proudly, "As expected of !"

Aalto stepped inside first, surveying the space before exclaiming in awe, "This is… No wonder…"

"These Court of Savantae guys were actually researching how to create Retroact Rain…"

"To think they've gotten this far… Unbelievable…"

Rover voiced the question on everyone's mind, "What exactly is Retroact Rain?"

Aalto explained, "Retroact Rain originates from the Etheric Sea. In essence, it's high-density Echo energy from the Etheric Sea."

"Echo energy records events from different points in ti. Those exposed to Retroact Rain can see phantoms of everything that once happened in the rain."

"The rain curtain we saw earlier outside was probably a result of the Court of Savantae's research."

"And the spectacle we're seeing now is the second stage of Retroact Rain—Suspension."

Lucian and Rover looked toward the central chanism. Indeed, countless raindrops hung suspended in the air around it.

Lucian quipped, "Gravity doesn't exist anymore. Newton's coffin lid can't hold!"

Aalto chuckled, "When sothing like Resonance abilities—which defy science—exists, why care about gravity…"

"I've heard of plenty of independent research projects on Retroact Rain."

"Most of them were people clinging to regrets, wanting to relive a certain part of their lives or see soone again…"

"But… the scale of the Court of Savantae's setup is way beyond that."

"It makes you wonder—what were they trying to recreate?"

"Not sure if the building's electrical systems still work… Let's split up and search."

Encore cheered, "Yay! Sheepy, charge!"

Lucian reminded her, "Encore, be careful, okay?"

…

Rover and Lucian moved together. As they explored, Lucian shared his suspicions.

"I think it's related to the Fractsidus."

Rover: "The Fractsidus?"

Lucian nodded slightly, "Think about it. Yangyang ntioned the 'Reverse-Flowing Rain' during the 'Battle of the Crescent Blade.' That rain caused countless Tacet Discord waves to reappear, ultimately leading to that brutal battle."

"And the Fractsidus' goal is to destroy the world and rebuild it anew. Could the formation of Retroact Rain trigger another war on the scale of the 'Battle of the Crescent Blade'?"

"Now that I think about it, the reflection of that woman in red I saw in the illusion earlier seems similar to the figure of that woman near the scar in Qichi Village."

Rover pondered, "I think your theory makes sense. Could their thod be using Tacet Discords to destroy the world…?"

"Earlier, the scar also said that The Lant brings death, brings destruction, brings countless reverberations…"
