Harbinger of Calamity:I will lead the charge!
As the envoy dispatched by the Family to restore order to this world—
to rebuild the musical scale of Harmony and establish a new branch of the Family—
he was, naturally, an exceptional tuner.
And so—
the envoy led the worshippers in a united hymn of Harmony.
The celestial ring trembled in resonance.
The world itself joined the chorus.
The wind whispered in tune.
The rain twisted to the rhythm.
Even the beasts roared in harmony.
Then—
from the earth rose a vast and magnificent opera house.
The 107,336 worshippers who had sung and prayed together appeared within its audience seats.
Gigantic statues of stone and steel lifted a pillarless hall high into the heavens.
The envoy from the Montor System donned ceremonial vestments and stepped to the center of the stage.
At that moment—
the embodiment of Harmony descended.
The Grand Theatre of All Sounds — Constantina.
The Grand Theatre was not a Harmony avatar belonging to any single individual.
It was the manifestation of a collective concept—
the union of countless voices into one.
At this moment—
everyone present was part of the theatre.
Everyone was Constantina.
Together, they performed an offering to Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony.
This was a gift from the Great Harmonious Celestial World.
And to invaders who had disrupted the melody of peace—
it was the tolling of a funeral bell.
Fortunately—
the conditions had been insufficient.
What had descended was not the Infinite Conductor.
Good news:
They did not have to face the wrath of the Infinite Conductor.
Bad news:
The Grand Theatre had arrived instead.
The envoy assumed the role of conductor.
"Act One — The Endless Banquet."
"Under Harmony, all people embrace the melody.
Each finds their own note within the divine symphony.
From this moment onward, humanity shall know no divisions of class."
After declaring the act, the envoy stepped behind the curtain.
The earth began to tremble.
When the curtain rose again—
mud and stone had sculpted themselves into statues.
Those statues began reenacting an ancient play.
Harmony's power called forth countless instruments.
Though no hands touched them, they played on their own.
In truth, this was only an incomplete Constantina.
One hundred thousand singers and a single tuner were far from enough to fully summon the Grand Theatre.
Among the envoys of Harmony, Dominicus — the Choir of Unified Wishes had the lowest summoning threshold.
As long as there was a tuner and a shared desire, Dominicus would answer.
However—
the strength of that response depended on the number of believers and the sincerity of their wishes.
Because of that, Dominicus was often regarded as a conceptual overlap between Harmony and Abundance.
Constantina, however, demanded far more.
At minimum:
Three Level-IV TunersOne hundred thousand perfectly synchronized choir membersThree chosen conductors to lead three connected acts
Each act also required several members of the Family who had returned to the musical scale.
Their roles included:
A conductor to guide the performanceA singer to lead the chorusA dancer to govern the rhythm
Only through such coordination—
ten thousand voices made one—
could the grand offering to Xipe be completed.
Clearly, none of those conditions had been met here.
Yet fortunately—
Constantina had answered the call anyway.
Compared to Dominicus, Constantina carried a far stronger sense of order.
"First Movement — Freedom and Peace."
Praise the Harmony!
The audience rose as one.
Inspired by the music, they began singing the sacred Hymn of Harmony.
Under Constantina's guiding melody—
many soldiers of the Antimatter Legion were moved by the song.
They defected.
Turning their weapons against their former allies, they joined the Family instead.
Chaos instantly erupted within the Legion.
Anyone who had ever witnessed a mutiny knew how destructive such confusion could be.
The Legionnaires and the newly converted traitors began slaughtering one another.
The Harbinger of Calamity remained calm.
"So what if it's the Family?"
"The Antimatter Legion has fought them before."
He seized the bow from a nearby centaur Ravager.
The weapon had been forged from the wings of a Doomsday Beast—
crafted in Shenxiao Space City.
Three Harbingers of Calamity drew their bows.
Three spiraling arrows tore through the sky.
Their blazing trajectories formed a triangular lattice aimed directly at Constantina.
Whizz!
Boom!
Crash!
Golden chains woven from flowing music materialized in midair.
They intercepted the arrows.
The Family envoy frowned.
Something about Constantina was wrong.
Those golden chains—
they contained too much Order.
Why was the conceptual interference of Order so strong?
Still—
the clash had revealed something important.
The blessing of Harmony upon this world had limits.
Attacks beyond a certain threshold could not be neutralized by the miracle of No More Conflict.
The Harbinger immediately issued another command.
"Signal all Ravagers."
"Where my arrow points—release every arrow."
Every centaur-shaped Ravager raised its bow.
Thousands of arrows filled the sky.
They truly resembled the beings most akin to Lan.
Ancient rumors had even claimed some hidden connection between Nanook and Lan…
The chaotic rain of arrows rushed toward the lattice.
Then—
space itself seemed to warp.
The arrows bent in flight, converging into the narrow path opened by the earlier strike.
All of them surged toward Constantina.
The Harbinger's first arrow had only created the route.
This was the real attack.
But the moment the arrows reached the Grand Theatre—
they transformed into fireworks.
Brilliant celebratory sparks burst across the heavens.
What should have been a killing blow became mere decoration announcing the next act.
The Grand Theatre continued its performance.
Its melody shifted.
What had once been free-flowing notes gradually became a repeating hymn.
A sacred chant.
Against an enemy like this—
a fortress immune to numbers—
the Harbinger of Calamity still showed no fear.
After all—
they could still launch attacks that mattered.
Facing a Harmony avatar was, in essence, no different from dueling a Harmony Envoy.
The three Harbingers exchanged a brief discussion.
Then he raised one hand.
"Forward army—charge!"
At once—
the rear army became the front.
They led the charge personally.
Straight away from the battlefield.
Of course.
Not fearing destruction did not mean being stupid.
Why die meaninglessly?
If death was the objective, cutting one's own throat would be faster.
This was simply—
a strategic retreat.
The Family envoy let out a soft sigh.
"So be it."
"You may have accepted some rather strange elements here…"
"But the Family can accept you as well."
"A little interference from Order is nothing."
He raised his voice once more.
"Act Two — All Things As One."
"Harmony guides Order.
Order is also Harmony.
Harmony embraces all things.
And in the end—
all things become one."
