Phase II
Then, and Now
“Do you still remember, Khaslana, the one who won't reach the dawn?
In that drunken dream, the mountains loomed high and steep—"
Along that lost journey,
Through endless cycles, through fruitless suffering—he had never once arrived.
He believed that he would never be able to reach it.
… “and there, he saw himself.”
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
Weight of his sins was like shackles bound around his soul. Darkness seeped into the cracks of the void, like grains falling through an hourglass of time, leaving behind echoes of the past:
The tides rose and fell again and again, washing over the bare feet of the boy, painting upon him the traces of a dream that was once pure.
Once, he had chased the dawn with all his strength, with all the innocence he possessed.
Once, he had wished upon it so deeply, prayed for it so earnestly:
That at the end of the west winds…
The light of dawn would finally arrive.
—Yet, before he knew it…
That little wooden sculpture of a protagonist carved by his own hands,
That flawless image of the “hero” in his heart—
At the end of time, had already gained an irreversible scar,
Slowly withered away?
That time…
He saw himself fall once more into the nightmarish dreams, just as he always had.
Once, he had exiled and imprisoned everything he carried, within this barren land.
Confined here, bit by bit, he built his own garden.
The self he once was. Countless selves. Overlapping silhouettes.
And now, “Phainon” opens his eyes once more.

HoYoLAB 2.0 Phainon Character Channel Event | Phase II: Then, and Now | Art: Fylus
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
After you fell into slumber and drifted through thirty million cycles of recurrence,
You awaken within this near fragile and translucent memory:
Fading hope, lingering despair… scattered… wishes.
This time, where will you wake?
For this world you love so deeply…
What kind of ending shall you bring?

Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
This is a rare tranquillity before the journey begins, a garden in serenity, woven by the power of Trickery.
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
Here, you rested for a brief moment, feeling the unfamiliarity of a place that somehow felt like your first encounter.
The weight of “Dawnmaker” in your hand is achingly familiar, reminding you that the burden of the “Deliverer” followed closely behind, like a never fading shadow.
Yes, Khaslana.
You have never forgotten.
It is precisely because you remember every single thing so deeply,
That this weight within your heart continues to crush you so relentlessly,
Pressing upon you every moment, never once fading away.
However, the frost-touched traces of time will eventually reach the end of the same sea of flowers,
And welcome a new form of brilliance, a new form of beauty—won't they?
It is a light never seen before, slowly flowing upon the tip of this story's pen,
Following the final pages of this book into reality, taking its first form.
That is the “future” we built together within the frozen time - a tower, extending toward the distant summit of “hope.”
An eternal existence of wind and sunlight.
“—and there, you saw yourself.”
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
At this place where the beginning and the end converge,
You once again encountered…
The “self” you had long lost.
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"We meet again, Deliverer..."
"Miss Hysilens, Imperator, and... Cyrene."
"I never expected we would meet again, “Khas”."
"I never thought Imperator would still remember that nickname from the banquet back then... Haha."
"Then allow me to properly introduce myself once again."
"Phainon of Aedes Elysiae, my true name is Khaslana. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"No need for such formalities. On our way here, Dux Gladiorum has already told me everything."
"So you are the one who bears thirty million years upon his shoulders. The true Deliverer spoken of in the prophecy."
"With the weight of thirty million hollow shells and thirty million solitary warriors…
You won against the gods and the ambitions of a monarch on the scales of destiny."
"This was not a miracle, but a glorious feat achieved with the power of the human will."
"This has never been the strength of one person alone…"
"With the golden blood of countless beings, you’ve etched the mark of heroes upon the ages."
"Without your sacrifice, the great cause of the Flame-Chase would have long died…"
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"I never expected that, on the eve of such a great battle, we would still have the chance to share such a peaceful moment together..."
"To meet once again within such an exquisite and tranquil garden, perhaps it means that even now, the Deliverer still carries an ocean within his heart, untouched by the troubles of the world."
"......I..."
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"Look at our Deliverer. Even after receiving everyone's praise, he still ends up blushing."
"Fate can no longer catch up to you, Phainon."
Translations: 中文, 日本語, 한국어, and Русский
"Everyone is already prepared to set out. This time, let us walk together, carrying this 'love' with us, and draw a beautiful conclusion to this journey's end♪"
"Yeah."
"I am ready as well. We can depart whenever necessary."
"......To be able to walk alongside all of you, is truly my honour."
"Therefore, where will your commands be directed next, Imperator?"
