Chapter 306: Resurrecting a Dead Aeon?! Even Ruan Mei Wouldn't Dare Go That Far!
"Mr. Welt…"
The Dream Master's voice grew deep and low.
"Being too sharp is never a good thing, especially when you are isolated and without help."
Welt crossed his arms over his chest. "Hmph, as expected."
The Dream Master looked toward Sunday.
"For the sake of our great endeavor, Sunday, please let these two take a brief rest."
Robin had also realized something was wrong by now, a look of disbelief appearing on her face.
"What…?"
However, in the next second, Sunday swept his gaze over!
Rings of light pollution instantly appeared around the edges of the screen.
Welt showed a look of struggle.
Robin clutched her forehead.
At this moment, both of them seemed to be bound by some kind of power, unable to move a muscle.
Robin's voice was filled with sorrow: "So that is the real reason why I cannot sing? The shadow looming over Penacony is actually…"
"We were never the children of Harmony. The paradise of your and my dreams… should not be created by Xipe either. The happiness of the masses can only be promised by the one who stands above them."
"Within the Law, humanity constructs society…"
"Within Harmony, we secure Order."
After Sunday finished speaking, the screen went completely black.
Combining this with the plot they had seen before, the outcome here was already obvious.
Even with Welt and Robin together, in the face of the divine power of Order, they were directly instakilled!
There was absolutely no room for resistance.
The bullet comments kept flooding in.
…
"Sunday has finally laid his cards on the table!"
"Even though it was expected, it still feels unbelievable!"
"March 7th's prediction hits the mark again!"
"No way! Welt got instakilled by Sunday with just a single glance?"
"I thought there would at least be a cutscene of them fighting for hundreds of rounds before Welt collapsed from exhaustion…"
"Welt, aren't you the Sovereign of Anti-Entropy? Hurry up and use your hidden strength!"
"Welt got nerfed. He didn't even have time to pull out his cane…"
…
"Ahhhhh—"
"NO—UNCLE YANG—!!!"
March 7th shouted dramatically at the black screen.
Stelle chimed in from the side.
"Ugh, the invincible Uncle Yang has fallen…~…"
Welt lightly patted his forehead, feeling a bit helpless.
After a moment, he said, "Although I am considered your elder, my strength alone is not invincible."
"On a cosmic scale, ups and downs are perfectly normal."
"There will always be opponents that one person cannot defeat."
"Actually, back when I was still in my homeland, I died many times."
"But along the way, the journey has still reached where it is today. So, there is no need to worry."
"Ah?"
March 7th was stunned when she heard this.
"Uncle Yang, are you saying you've risen from the dead many times?"
"How did you do it? Hurry and tell me!"
"Well… that is a very, very long story."
…
Inside the recording studio, Robin watched the latest plot unfold.
For a moment, mixed emotions welled up in her heart!
When she had received the news earlier, she still couldn't believe it…
She felt that her brother must have some special reason for saying and doing this!
But now, it was completely confirmed through the game's plot.
Robin could actually understand her brother's thoughts.
But understanding was one thing; she would never agree, absolutely never agree to everyone living in the dream of Order!
Suddenly, Robin thought of something.
She opened the song from her album Inside, "Hope Is the Thing with Feathers".
She appreciated the lyrics once again.
A light suddenly shone in Robin's eyes!
"So… so that's how it is…"
When she sang it before, she felt the lyrics were full of positive energy, as if fighting against some transcendent existence to disperse its haze!
Only now did Robin realize that this song was specially written for her by Feathered Spirit!
It was like a guide for her path ahead.
Even if it was the paradise of illusions created by her brother… she would absolutely never indulge in it!
Just like the lyrics sang—
[ The wheels are spinning… ]
[ Break free from chains and come anew! ]
"If only this song could appear in the plot…"
"Its rhythm, its drumbeats, and the meaning of the lyrics… they are all too suitable for inspiring people's hearts!"
…
In Little Gui's livestream room, the story had reached the crucial moment of the confrontation between the Express crew and Sunday!
Himeko marveled, "Unbelievable. To think that remnants of Order still exist in Penacony…"
March 7th was more direct: "What did you do to Uncle Yang and Miss Robin?!"
"Please put your minds at ease. I merely granted them some quiet time to contemplate destiny alone."
Himeko's expression turned solemn. "You should understand that doing so means making an enemy of the Astral Express."
"Even if we must become enemies with the Nameless, it is only myself and the Oak Family. But we have not reached that point yet, have we?"
Himeko: "If Order is driving you to imprison Welt and Robin, and you intend to use this to coerce us into submission, then I believe there is no need for us to sit down and negotiate."
…
"Miss Himeko never loses when it comes to aura!"
"Ugh, I will love Himeko forever!"
"Is Sunday really that strong? Can we even beat him?"
"No worries, we have other powerful allies!"
"Everyone who came to Penacony this time is an ally!"
"~Quick, go invite Miss Acheron!"
…
Yet Sunday did not have the sharp, aggressive edge typical of villains.
He replied gently, "You misunderstand, Miss Himeko. They are perfectly safe. As the Family has always promised, no one will be harmed in the dreamscape, let alone in the brave new world of Order."
"Penacony and this universe have witnessed too much innocent blood. The strong wield their blades against the weak, and the victors push the lives of the defeated to their end…"
"Natural selection—the world follows this law, building the welfare of all humanity upon the remains of the weak. Only we [ the Pathstriders of Order ], or rather, I, have the power to end this absurd farce."
Himeko was astonished. "You intend to resurrect a deceased Aeon? No one has ever achieved such a thing."
"Since Miss Himeko is interested, let us lay our cards on the table. I have always believed that people can understand each other through peaceful means."
"I am willing to truthfully share the aspirations of the Order's Pathstriders with you, so that you may make a better judgment for the Astral Express, Penacony, and this universe. Words are pale and powerless, unable to depict that ideal vision…"
"So follow me, everyone. Let us retrace the path we came from, and see where this path will lead."
…
"Holy crap!?"
"Resurrecting a dead Aeon? No way, right? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
"Could this be Sunday's real goal?!"
"Ruan Mei is still only trying to replicate an Emanator, while our Sunday Bro is straight-up starting to resurrect an Aeon!"
"Awesome! I can only say awesome!"
"It can't be, right? This is just Himeko's speculation. No matter how you think about it, it should be impossible!"
…
In the hotel lobby, the crowd was also in an uproar.
And Sunday sat up straight from his seat.
His expression turned solemn!
If nothing went wrong, the upcoming plot would be the most critical moment!
As expected, Feathered Spirit did not place him in a traditional villain role.
Instead, he highlighted his actions through the clash of philosophies.
Was he ultimately right or wrong?
Would people still be willing to enter this paradise of dreams?
Next, it would all depend on the performance in the plot!
