Zenless Zone Zero 2.6 story
ZZZ 2.6's story kicks off with Gilded Carrot Day, New Eridu's equivalent to Lunar New Year. Alongside the usual festivities, Yixuan is arranging the Yearlight Ceremony to commemorate Ye Shunguang's graduation to the Void Hunter class, and it's already on track to eclipse last year.
After their battle against the Exaltists in Failume Heights, the Phaethon siblings are finally back on Sixth Street to enjoy the holidays, but a Proxy's work is never done. Belle and Wise are quickly embroiled in PubSec's investigation into a spate of intelligent construct's going rogue around the city.
Meanwhile, the idol group, Angels of Delusion, are preparing to perform at 404 Error for their first-ever live performance. Between their raw talent and 404 Error's in-house vocal coach, the show is set to be one to remember - so long as lead vocalist Aria isn't affected by the illegal intelligent entity wreaking havoc on the artificial population.
