They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 355 The "ending" of every story is a "dumpling-making" moment (Bonus chapter for donations)
Huang Quan, gripping the hilt of his long sword at his waist with an indifferent expression, confronted Metatron, who was tightly holding the [Divine Book of Feathers] with a serious expression.

At this moment, the black swan risked being corrupted by the void and entered the trial court space through the crack cleaved open by the Yellow Springs.

Seeing everyone else stunned, and some even hastily casting the [Mysterious] buff on Huang Quan, Black Swan, knowing that Huang Quan's attack on Pinocchio was easily corrupted by the Void, quickly spoke to the others.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get out of here! Do you think you're in a position to survive a battle against an Envoy-level enemy?"

After saying that, he used the crack created by the Yellow Springs to open a portal to leave this place.

Black Swan's words jolted those still conscious at the scene back to reality.

Without hesitation, Dan Heng led Xing and San Yueqi directly into the portal.

Sand Gold and Potio didn't hesitate for long before running into the portal without looking back.

Fireworks and Robin took a good look at Metatron and Sunday before leaving.

Hanabi clearly harbors a grudge against Metatron, while Robin knows that her battle with her brother is not over and there is more to come.

The black swan only left after everyone except Huang Quan had left.

Huang Quan waited until the black swans had all left before slowly retreating back into the crack he had created.

Metatron's expression relaxed only after seeing Huang Quan retreat, and he said to Sunday beside him...
"What terrifying power! I never expected Dan Lei's female companion to be so terrifying."

Metatron hadn't replied to Sunday's message; he was now only thinking about one thing: did Huang Quan's appearance signify a change in Danlei's attitude towards order?

After a long silence, he spoke to Metatron on Sunday.

“Let’s go back to the Pinocchio Theatre first and ensure that order is restored. Once order is restored, this woman will not be a problem.”

Metatron agreed with Sunday's opinion, and that this space had been corrupted by the power of nothingness and must be destroyed and abandoned.

So Metatron waved her hand, and she and Sunday returned to the Pinocchio Grand Theatre Hall.

However, to their surprise, there were already two people waiting for them in the hall.

When Metatron and Sunday returned to the lobby, they saw Danley sitting on the side of the lobby, leaning against the wall, drinking white chocolate latte and mulberry fruit and vegetable tea. He had obviously been waiting for a while.

Metatron saw that the [Divine Writing Brush] that Dan Lei had just taken back had returned to his hand.

However, on Sunday, he reached out and stopped Metatron from raising his weapon, then smiled and walked towards Dan Lei, saying...
"Mr. Danlei, it seems you've been waiting for quite some time. But, just you and your spirit? Where is your companion?"

Dan Lei knew what Sunday meant, and rolled his eyes at him, saying...

People say that the decadent lifestyle of Pinocchio will lead those who are intoxicated by it to a state of nihilism.

Don't let Huang Quan's wooden appearance fool you; she's a true Void Killer, nipping many potential Void disasters that could have ravaged countless civilizations in the bud.

So, she and I had a disagreement about her attitude towards Pinocchio, and now she's left me.

Now, you've lost your sister, and I've lost my companion; we're both alone now.

Sunday did not question Dan Lei's words, because he knew that if Dan Lei wanted to turn against him, he should have appeared with Huang Quan just now.

He had already been ganged up on by all of Pinocchio's forces. Even if Dan Lei couldn't attack him, he could quickly deal with Metatron with Huang Quan's help, and the others could naturally take care of him directly.

Then Danlei will be able to enjoy the Holy Grail, which has already undergone the ritual, all to himself.

But Danlei didn't actually do that; he simply chose to wait for him to come out in the lobby of the Pinocchio Grand Theatre.

That proves that Danlei still hopes for order to return.

As long as this fundamental premise remains unchanged, Sunday felt that Danlei was on his side.

As the saying goes, it's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. Now, on Sunday, I really think Danlei is a good person and won't easily go back on his word.

If Danlei doesn't want to be his brother-in-law, then it'll be perfect.

So, on Sunday, he walked up to Danlei and bowed slightly.

That's such a shame.

However, Mr. Danlei, please come with me. The Harmonious Music Ceremony is about to open, and you can watch the opening ceremony up close.

Dan Lei knew that the so-called opening ceremony was actually the ceremony for the birth of the fetus of the philosophy of order, so he said with a smile.

"Okay, now my friends on the Star Train are definitely cursing me."

I've almost alienated everyone; I need to see my goal achieved with my own eyes.

After saying that, Dan Lei followed Sunday into the Pinocchio Grand Theatre.

At the same time, just as Dan Lei guessed, the members of the Starry Sky Train crew were indeed complaining about Dan Lei.

The black swan opened a portal at Dream Reef, and everyone who escaped looked ashen-faced.

The losses this time were too heavy. Although the Masters did not die, only Luminosity of the Stars is still alive among our Servants.

Only three Servants remain in this Holy Grail War: Luminous, Artoria, and Metatron.

According to Dan Lei, since he is not involved in the competition for the victor, the winner of the Holy Grail War will be decided between Luminosity and Metatron.

Of course, at this point, no one cared about the outcome of the Holy Grail War anymore.

Based on the information available, this Holy Grail War was held to distract other forces from the possibility of the birth of order.

After calming down a bit, Sand Gold directly asked Black Swan...

"Ms. Black Swan, how did you manage to summon Miss Huang Quan? What was Dan Lei's attitude?"

Before Black Swan could answer the question, Hanabi interrupted.
"What other attitude could he have? He definitely wants to see order come down."

If you ask me, Pinocchio's fate of order is being supported by this guy, Dan Lei.

Without his help, the Oak family's plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Upon hearing Hanabi's comment, Portio slammed his fist on the ground, speechless with exasperation.
"Damn it, why is Dan Lei, a hunting envoy, getting mixed up with those little cuties from the Order? Right now, all the envoy-level combatants are on the other side. This battle won't be easy."

However, Black Swan clearly disagreed with Fireworks' opinion, stating bluntly...

"I don't think Danlei necessarily wholeheartedly supports the Oak family's remnants of the Order."

I originally went to Danlei for help in rescuing you.

Instead of finding Dan Lei, they found Miss Huang Quan.

Miss Huang Quan was persuaded by Dan Lei to leave his side.

"Oh, she's back. It's best to ask her about Danlei's situation."

Just as the black swan said, Huang Quan also arrived at Liumeng Reef at this time.

As the strongest player on their side, Black Swan will never forget Huang Quan, no matter who else she forgets.

So she had left a door open for Huang Quan well in advance. After she exited the courtroom space through the rift, the door was right in front of her, so she would never get lost.

After Huang Quan appeared, Dan Heng looked at the unconscious Xing and the completely dumbfounded San Yueqi, and asked with an unusually serious expression.

"Miss Huang Quan, please tell us Dan Lei's true thoughts on this incident."

Huang Quan shook his head directly at this question.
"I promised Danlei that I wouldn't tell anyone his true purpose."

"All I can say is that everything you're seeing him do now is just a prelude to his true purpose; he hasn't made his move yet." Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Sha Jin dramatically spread his hands.
I said, "No way."

Things have escalated to this point, with even envoys taking action, yet Dan Lei is still laying the groundwork?
What is he planning? Is he preparing to strike while order is still newly established, to claim the title of the first person to slay a star god?

Sand Gold's words were more of a joke, but Huang Quan's response was to just stare at Sand Gold without saying a word.

Sand Gold was stunned by Huang Quan's gaze, and covered his head in disbelief, saying...

"My God, could I be right? Dan Lei really wants to kill a god?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Quan immediately turned his head away, because Dan Lei's idea was to devour a god rather than kill one.

However, this action really does seem a bit like trying to hide something obvious.

Seeing this, Dan Heng's hand holding Ji Yun began to tremble, and he said directly...
"If Dan Lei caused Ji Zi's death for such a trivial reason, I will never let him off the hook."

As Danheng spoke, March 7th murmured listlessly, his eyes vacant.
"Yes, we can't let him get away with this. We absolutely cannot forgive Himeko for dying like this."

At this moment, March 7th looked completely ruined, and Dan Heng immediately said worriedly.
"March, are you alright?"

Moreover, "March 7th" looked at Dan Heng with lifeless eyes and said with a smile.
"I'm fine. I'm going to have a good talk with Danlei now. Don't follow me."

The phrase "March 7th" almost scared Danheng to death.

Dan Lei's purpose is just a guess, and even if everyone guesses correctly, it is unreasonable to pin the blame for Himeko's death on him.

Danheng meant he couldn't forgive Danlei, not that he wanted to fight Danlei to the death.

To put it bluntly, the hostility between the Starry Sky Train Group and the Oak Family was not something Dan Lei orchestrated.

According to the details he explained when he contacted Danlei on March 7th, Danlei also clearly stated that this was a dispute over ideologies and that he would not participate.

As for the Holy Grail War, Dan Lei did involve the Train crew, but more so to give them a chance to fight for benefits and to have the Train crew help out.

Himeko becoming a Demi-Servant was a complete accident; Danlei certainly couldn't have predicted it beforehand.

In short, Dan Lei bears responsibility for Himeko's death, but he is not primarily responsible.

Moreover, with his skinny arms and legs, San Yueqi not only chose the wrong target to seek revenge on Dan Lei, but he also ended up delivering vegetables.

So Danheng directly grabbed March 7 and said...
"Now is not the time to settle scores with Dan Lei. He was not the mastermind behind Ji Zi's death. What we need to discuss now is whether the Starry Sky Train should continue to be involved in what follows."

What I mean is, you and Xing should go back to the train first and immediately jump away from Pinocchio.

My conflict with Pinocchio is relatively minor, and I am of the same clan as Danlei, so I will stay behind to find a way to rescue Uncle Yang.

If we succeed, we'll discuss how to help Himeko get revenge then.

If we fail, don't hesitate, have Pam take the Star Train further away. You and Star must shoulder the responsibility of spreading the spirit of exploration throughout the universe!

Danheng's words were very direct and realistic.

However, "March 7th" is currently in a state of "not listening, not listening, like a turtle chanting scriptures," as if it has broken free from Dan Heng and is going to settle accounts with Dan Lei.

Fortunately, at that moment a familiar female voice came from afar.

“Danheng is right. If I really die, I think you should listen to his advice, Xiaosanyue.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in surprise in the direction of the voice. The Starry Sky Train version of Himeko was standing at the street corner, speaking to everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Potio even raised his gun and shouted.

"Damn it, can a heroic spirit be resurrected after it leaves the stage? Are you even human or a ghost?"

Himeko walked over directly to him, speaking as she went.

"It's obvious that Danlei played a rather malicious joke on us."

However, upon closer reflection, what he said at the time was that once the Heroic Spirit Himeko was defeated, this body would also dissipate.

He never said I would die.

When I woke up in the real-life Pinocchio, I realized that Walter had said I would die. Dan Lei was clearly deliberately not explaining things clearly, wanting us to experience the pain of separation and death firsthand…

As Himeko finished speaking, March Seven's eyes instantly cleared, and he leaped into Himeko's arms, hugging her and sobbing.

"Waaaaah, Himeko-nee, I really thought you were dead!"

Waaaaah~~ Danlei is so mean! Why did he have to make a joke like that? Waaaaah~~~
"That's great! I'm so glad you're alright, Himeko-nee."

Just as March 7th was crying in Himeko's arms, Hoshiya slowly woke up.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw March 7th holding the living Himeko and crying, and immediately burst into tears, exclaiming...
"Isn't the Dream of Order supposed to be a beautiful dream? Why do I still feel like crying?"

Seeing this, Himeko led Mitsuki to Hoshino's side, pulled her into her embrace, and gently stroked her head, saying...
"Star, this is not a dream."

No, even though we're in a dream, I'm not dead.

After saying that, Himeko also spoke to Dan Heng, whose eyes were wet with tears.

"Danheng, I'm sorry, I can't hug a third person right now. I'll comfort you separately later."

Dan Heng only had one sentence to say at this moment, so he spoke directly.

"Actually, there's no need for that, but it's so good that you're still alive, Himeko."

Otherwise, I would have threatened Pinocchio with the alliance with Yu Zhao to force him to release Uncle Yang.

Upon hearing Danheng's words, Shajin immediately spoke up.
"The Jade Omen of Alliance! You still have this! This is a treasure that could turn the tide of battle!"

Sand Gold said this to the robin, and the meaning was clear: he wanted the robin to promise benefits in exchange for the right to use the Jade Orb through an alliance.

But Himeko directly refused.
"No, if we call the Luofu Fleet now, they might have to face the resurrected Star God of Order directly."

"Letting Luo Fu face the Star God directly would be a trap for them; we absolutely cannot do such a thing."

Himeko's words, however, were met with a different opinion from Dan Heng, who, observing the strange lights flickering in the Pinocchio Grand Theatre, stated directly...

"Therefore, we should use the Jade Sign before order is even established, so that we can prevent the establishment of order in time."

------------

Danheng's words convinced Ji Zi, so the alliance was activated.

The next second, under the power of the hunting time, the fleet of Luofu Immortal Ship directly descended upon Pinocone.

The Oak family, which had not yet resurrected the Star God of Order, was directly annihilated by the Luofu army.

Seeing this, Dan Lei had no choice but to abandon his plan and obediently accept a scolding from the Starry Sky Train crew before apologizing to everyone.

Pinocchio, under the leadership of Robin, gained the support of the Immortal Boat Alliance, the Interstellar Peace Company, and the Genius Club.

It is a cause for celebration that the star of the grand event has returned to the embrace of harmony.
