>"I believe in my dear children, they are the brilliant Phaethon".

This is in fact Carole Arna's voice. She is revealed to be the leader of the Exaltists. After Season 2's conclusion, she will send the Proxies to search the depths of Hollow Zero for the last old void hunter who is said to be still alive, Professor Arche. All the "training" from Shifu and directions from the mayor was to prepare the Proxies to be able to explore the most dangerous parts of Hollow Zero depths.
Arche, ancient Void Hunter who is also the founder of Helios Academy reveals to Belle and Wise the purpose of Helios was researching time travel and loops. Belle and Wise pieces together the mysteries within Helios to travel back in time to save Arche's old VH comrades and save Eridu.

This is how they plan to make the old VH and Honkai expies sellable.
