2. 📜 The Three Pacts' Plans: Rebirth, Control, and Conquest
· The three villains present their individual plans, allowing the AI to choose the most suitable one.
· Lead Scepter suggests that the special weapons wielded by Hollow Hunters (Tailis, Ching Ming Blade) may have been stolen from Exaltus or other Creator-aligned factions.
· These weapons absorb the user's soul, memories, or Aether energy, demanding sacrifice.
| Category | Character | Plan/Claim | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Pact | Tin Crown | Rebirth | · Plan to use a nuclear bomb, resulting in mass casualties · Connected to 'annihilation of all Aetherials' mentioned in Miyabi's trailer · Considers 208 casualties as 'a worthy sacrifice' |
| Second Pact | Copper Ring | Controllable Hollow Hunters | · Claims New Eridu needs more 'stars' (controllable Hollow Hunters) · In contrast to Miyabi, desires beings that can be controlled like puppets |
| Third Pact | Lead Scepter | Conquest of the Floating Island | · Dismisses Copper Ring's idea, calling Hollow Hunters 'sheep for the slaughter' · Topps' plan to seize 'Rosa Caliper,' a floating island isolated from global conflicts · Conquest of the island amidst the battle between the Creator's army and Hollow Hunters, taking advantage of Hollow Zero fluctuations |

3. ☁️ Rosa Caliper and Lady Sunbringer's Tragic Fate
· The floating island 'Rosa Caliper,' which Lead Scepter aims to conquer, was mentioned in version 2.5 as a peaceful place, once loyal to Lady Sunbringer.
· Sunbringer, a Hollow Hunter resembling Kiana, was betrayed for knowing too much. She eliminated the Sky Hive Lord Hollow and created Bang Boo.
· It is highly probable that the Three Pacts were involved in Sunbringer's betrayal. She discovered and researched the ore first, but after her betrayal, Topps took over all operations.
· Despite being betrayed and summoned by the 'Creator,' Sunbringer showed unwavering dedication, refusing to abandon humanity.
