Synopsis

The chapter showcases a powerful being who has fragmented their essence across dimensions, and is now recovering their strength by merging with these fragments. This being has a 'pawn' among humans, who manages a stardust manufacturing operation, which is now facing issues. Meanwhile, a once-celebrity, A-rank hunter feels resentful towards his former driver, now an S-rank hunter, exposing the shifted power dynamics in this post-cataclysm world. The fragmented being seems to be manipulating both situations, suggesting a complex strategy is underway.
