The Death of a Friend
After three years living on Wishing Machine Island,[citation needed] Zhuge Kongming notices that leaving an unchecked Houdou seal formation for three years was too long. Zhuge Kongming knew that if it broke free, the Empire would be its first victim. After knowing Rita was fighting the beast herself, Zhuge Kongming sent two envoys to the neighboring kingdoms for help, but the envoys never returned. After Zhuge Kongming developed a new formation, she rushed to Rita so they could stop Houdou together.
Zhuge Kongming finding Rita's corpse.
By the time Zhuge Kongming arrived at the battlefield, Houdou had already left, and Zhuge Kongming saw Rita's scythe lying by the river, and she saw Rita lying in the water with wounds all over her body, without blood dripping anymore. Zhuge Kongming lifted Rita up; she felt Rita was light as a feather because all of Rita's blood had been bled dry. Zhuge Kongming hugged Rita's body and wondered what her strange feeling was until night fell and stars appeared above the sea. She then realized this strange feeling was whenever Zhuge Kongming saw Rita, there was a smile on Rita's face and in her eyes, but now Zhuge Kongming couldn't see Rita's eyes anymore. She then determined to exact revenge on Houdou and the other kingdoms that abandoned her.
Exacting Revenge
Zhuge Kongming as the "Grand Seeress" sitting on her throne.
Three months after the death of Rita Rossweisse (Honkai Kingdom), Zhuge Kongming changed into a cold person, and she managed to end the war of the Three Kingdoms and unified the realms, with Zhuge Kongming also renouncing herself as the Grand Seeress. Then, during Qixi night, Zhuge Kongming commanded her soldiers to capture Theresa as she fled while dressing as Zhuge Kongming. The soldiers capture Theresa with one more person, and that person is the Captain, who greets Zhuge Kongming like an old friend. Zhuge Kongming coldly looked at the Captain while sitting on her throne as he asked why Zhuge Kongming became the Grand Seeress. As Zhuge Kongming told him in the past, Zhuge Kongming was retired and became a hermit. Theresa then pleaded with Zhuge Kongming to spare the Captain, which Zhuge Kongming complied with, but with Theresa dressed in her old idol outfit as TeRiRi the Magic Girl Emperyus and Previous Grand Seeress, Zhuge Kongming then told her to sing and dance, as today was the Qixi night. Zhuge Kongming also threatened Theresa if she declined or ran away. Zhuge Kongming realized the Captain had many questions and invited the Captain to sit beside her to watch the show. Then Zhuge Kongming brought Himeko (Corsair Queen) and Fu Hua (Arch Imperator) to kneel before her.

Bronie said she wanted to stay for a while and wanted a room in the Hyperion. Zhuge Kongming didn't want a stranger to stay in the Hyperion, but Bronie then impressed Zhuge Kongming by saying she already hacked her entry log and read about Rita (Fallen Rosemary), about Zhuge Kongming herself, and about the Captain. Then Bronie offered information about "someone else" who was also searching for Ether Cores in the Sea of Quanta as a payment for a room in Hyperion. Zhuge Kongming then reluctantly let Bronie stay, but with the Captain deciding how long Bronie could stay for. Zhuge Kongming then became shocked as Bronie revealed that Zhuge Kongming was very close to the Captain from reading Zhuge Kongming's personal journal.
