[S8 Season New Content]
New Adventure Story & Stages
Story Preview: Crossing phenomena are occurring more and more often, and the wings of a butterfly from a parallel world have quietly fluttered across the vast sea of space-time. The Future Morden Army, reduced to "Temporal Assassins" after the Space-Time Gate collapsed, appeared over Andrew City without warning. Folded spacetime, endless causality — the Future Morden Army, gradually losing its grasp on reality in the void, seems resolutely bent on carrying out some kind of "command."

Abyssal Cruise
Starts: After the S8 Season update on Sep 24
Gameplay Introduction: The emergence of the Space-Time Gate and the Future Morden Army tempted some high-ranking Regular Army officials with the idea of using space-time technology to achieve world domination. Suspecting illegal research is being conducted in secret, the Space-Time Authority has commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to investigate. Eugenia, president of the Adventurers' Guild, discovered that the "Sea of Time" has recently seen an influx of uninvited guests. The Sea of Time is a sea whose legends of time travelers have been passed down since ancient times — a space-time active region, which is exactly why illegal researchers have set their sights on it. The Adventure Squad sets out once more, determined to nip this conspiracy in the bud!
Rewards: Mythic Weapon Fragments, Civilization Gravel, Character Tokens, Legendary Weapon Fragments, Alloy Pickaxes, and more.
Trade Hub
A new Trade Hub feature has been added. Players can list qualifying Gems, Cores, and related materials from their inventory for sale, or use Rubies to purchase items listed by other players. Listing an item requires a Coin listing fee, and item prices can be adjusted within a set range. Once an item is successfully sold, the seller can claim the corresponding Yellow Gem earnings.
Weapon Star-Ring
Starts: After the S8 Season update on Sep 24
System Introduction: In Abyssal Cruise, every first-time clear grants bonus Civilization Gravel. Civilization Gravel can be used to develop DPS-type Legendary and Mythic Weapon Star-Rings from S7, S8, and beyond. At Star-Ring Lv. 15 and Lv. 30, you'll unlock special effects for your weapon skills. Developing these nodes consumes Civilization Gravel as well as a certain amount of Mimetic Metal. Surplus Civilization Gravel can be sold to other players in need through the Trade Hub to earn Yellow Gems.

Battle Spirit System
A new Battle Spirit System has been added under the Armory system. It grants rewards based on each season's development progress across its stages. Additionally, surplus development materials can be converted into Armament Points, Armament Privilege Cards, Coins, and Item Red Packets.
