Timehacker Challenges

Authority exists in seven forms, as old as cosmic history itself, forming the fundamental rules that construct the world. Eternity, Hope, Infinity, True Self, Wisdom, Law, Causality... Long before science emerged, humanity had already encountered them and bestowed upon them these beautiful names.
The powers derived from Authorities were once regarded as divine "blessings." To defeat HIEROS-I, we must find more "blessings" and completely master all Authorities.

Thunder is a symbol of might, and might constructs laws that illuminate darkness and eliminate heresy. Civilization always entrusts its desire for fairness to irresistible might. Whether judgment or mercy, thunder shall decide...

Throughout human civilization's history, everything eventually decays. Water is the only exception: it silently witnesses rise and fall, persisting throughout. Though it has no fixed form, it exists eternally. The primordial water is also the final water.

Burning is both torment and tempering. Life walks through mire with turbid currents clinging to it. Only through the refinement of suffering can one shed the polluted shell and rediscover their true self.

Wind flows through every corner of civilization, listening to all secrets and relieving all troubles. It observes, integrates, and guides everything—the omniscient wind silently raises up civilization.

One is all—endless and infinite. All cognition cannot escape the boundaries of space, and beyond infinite boundaries lies the truth that constructs everything. To challenge infinite space is to challenge the prison of civilization.

Blessings of Authority offer limitless possibilities. If we are to defeat HIEROS-I, we must unlock their full power.

Each time Timehackers hack into time, they affect the world within that timeline. Spacetime information collapses and intersects, creating spacetime rifts and Temporal Fragments.
The images and information contained in Temporal Fragments may come from the past, future, parallel presents, or even certain non-existent times...

The images once seemed fragmented and chaotic, but now they are falling into place, revealing a clear path.
They are not simply records of the past or future. Instead, they point to moments that should never have existed, forming a trail across countless timelines—one visible only to the person it was meant for.

The full story buried deep within the fractures of spacetime has finally emerged.
Past, future, parallel worlds—they are only different echoes along the strings of fate. Yet beyond this melody, something untouched by cause and effect is watching, drawn to the path now awakened. You are searching for the truth. And the truth is searching for you.

Mercy is the most pointless and most dangerous thing there is. It gives you that instant rush of "being noble," while making you oblivious to the consequences waiting at the end. Anyone who shows mercy never realizes, in that moment, what it will cost them.

After traversing so many timelines, do you feel like you're not really you anymore? Maybe the timelines are fake and you're the only real thing left. Or maybe the timelines are real and you're the one who doesn't belong. Either way works, as long as you stick to it. But when you begin to gaze into that abyss of doubt... It will gaze back.

He's just a regular guy, held together with old police implants. If you can't beat him, you're not ready for what comes next.

Anyone who tries to take control of HIEROS-I's power is going to get punished. And Grimes will make sure that punishment keeps going...

When "Hope" gets corrupted, it turns into pollen of despair, spreading everywhere on butterfly wings.

A mysterious creature that coils around HIEROS-I's core, devouring anything that comes near.

Timehackers don't really live inside time anymore. They don't truly have time, but they're not short on it either. Have a drink. Chat a bit. Take a nap. There's still plenty you can do.

Memory can transcend anything. If we share the same memory, it's like we shared the same life. From then on, our fates are connected.

More friends means more ways forward. If you're not constantly staring down a gun, you'll make it further.

When preparing for battle, Upgrade Chips are a big deal. Find more of them, then turn them into Chips you can actually equip. That's the priority.

Equip more Upgrade Chips to grow stronger—one of the most effective ways to fight HIEROS-I.

If your Upgrade Chips only provide linear gains, you're nowhere near using them to their full potential. Embed as many as possible and discover the synergies between them.

NeuroDyne Security (NDS) has developed an exceptional material [Mobius Fiber] that possesses extraordinary stability, maintaining its properties even across space and time.
Please keep an eye out for this substance during your timeline explorations—it's the key to rebuilding Fortune Chip.

We need time to flow for real again... We need to pull the split timelines back into one, so everyone can truly go on living. Doesn't matter which timeline you're from. If you want to save everything, fight with me.

In every timeline, we only pass people by. We can't stay. That's why anything we bring back, especially information, is priceless.

Nobody can hand you the truth. You've gotta see it with your own eyes.

You've successfully subdued HIEROS-I, and everything seems to be over. But is it?
