Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

The black swan explained the current situation of Pinocene to the train crew.

"The family has concealed the fact that the dream world is on the verge of collapse. This beautiful dream world is gradually returning to its essence and sinking into the currents of true memories. As for what will happen to those who remain in it, no one knows."

"But with the Harmony Festival approaching, even with such hidden dangers, the family still chose to conceal it and invited so many people to come. It can only be said that they are completely irresponsible."

Himeko agreed:

"After all, Pinocchio involves too much profit and astronomical sums of money. If it were to shut down, countless capitalists would not want to see it."

Black Swan Looks at the Stars:

"Since you still want to explore the deeper layers of dreams, I can help you."

Bai Heng raised his hand and said:

"I want to go too! Xiaolang is in there too!"

Walter suggested:

"Actually, it's better for everyone to go together, so we can look out for each other."

"With my abilities, the number of people I can bring in is limited."

Himeko said:

"In that case, Little March, Walter, and I will wait for you in the surface dream realm. Miss Black Swan, please take care of us."

"Rest assured, as the one who remembers, I will not stand idly by and watch the world of memories perish. So I have taken action. Please calm down and allow me to lead you into the dream world."

Except for Dan Heng, who stayed on the train, everyone else was mobilized.

When Xing opened her eyes again, she found herself in a gloomy and dark dream world.

A violent tremor came from the familiar hotel front desk.

When Xing arrived, a silver-armored figure was crushing countless memory domain memes.

The armored men also discovered Xing and the others.

"A fox spirit, a reminiscer..."

Surging flames danced from the armor, instantly assuming a battle stance.

Bai Heng took out a curved bow, while the Black Swan gracefully took out playing cards.

"Leave now, and no one will get hurt; otherwise, you will all die."

Bai Heng: "What an arrogant guy! Not many people dare to talk to us like that!"

Black Swan: "Oh dear, how much trouble will I cause by rampaging through this already fragile dream world?"

Xing: "Firefly! Where did my firefly go? Where's Uncle Xiao? Why isn't he here either!"

However, the armored man gave them no time to think, attacking with extremely violent speed and power.

Although Bai Heng's archery skills are excellent, this is a dream world without the Star Raft, so her combat power is directly halved.

"Wow, this is incredible! What's this sheet metal made of? How come it's so hard!"

After exchanging blows for a while, a purple sword aura appeared.

It is the Yellow Springs.

"It seems I've arrived just in time."

"Yellow Springs! Where did the fireflies go?!"

Huang Quan was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"She needs to tell you that herself."

"What do you mean?! Don't play the riddle-maker!"

Upon seeing Huang Quan appear, the armored man stopped and said:

"When you get back to reality, remember to tell everyone that it was Star Core Hunter Sam who gave you your final farewell."

Then a stream of data surrounded everyone, and before Xing could react, Himeko and Uncle Yang's faces appeared before them.

"Where have I been transported to this time?!"

The black swan worriedly said:

"It seems there are still experts here. We've been forcibly kicked out of the deep dream realm; this is the surface dream realm."

Huang Quan: "Yes, I didn't expect to be back here again."

Xing: "Wait, what are you doing here?"

Huang Quan: "Is it strange that I'm standing with you and being considered as part of your camp?"

After Himeko expressed her concern for a while, the group discussed their next move.

Walter adjusted his glasses. This woman named Huang Quan looked so much like her...

Just as I was about to test him out, Xing said casually:

"This is Huang Quan. Don't let her dazed demeanor fool you; she's incredibly skilled in combat, and as a patrolling sea ranger, you can completely trust her."

Bai Heng: "Sea Patrol Ranger? Do you even know where your boss, Lamancha, is?"

Huang Quan: "..."

The black swan came to Pinocchio in search of interesting memories.

This world of extravagance and debauchery is created by memory, and for those who remember, it's like fish and dragons entering the sea, coming and going freely.

She became very curious about Huang Quan's memories.

......

Gallagher brought Cheng Xiao to Liumeng Reef.

"Is this the place you created using your mysterious powers?"

Gallagher gave a wry smile: "You really can't hide anything from me. Don't expose my secrets, or I'll disappear."

"You brought someone sober here to find the truth behind the beautiful dream, why didn't you contact the pioneer sooner?"

Gallagher said mysteriously:

"Because things haven't reached that point yet, now that the younger generation of pioneers has arrived, I originally intended to guide them here."

Then a blond, muscular man came to greet Gallagher.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng Xiao, my name is Micah, I am Mikhail's adopted son, and I am here to guard the path of pioneering. Please follow me."

Full of doubts, Cheng Xiao followed Mi Kai up the steps to a towering observation deck.

An elderly man with white hair sat in a wheelchair, a book on his lap, and smiled gently:

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, you've finally arrived."

"Holy crap! Mikhail? You're not dead?!"

Gallagher and Mikael were speechless at these words; who would curse someone to death upon meeting them?

Mikhail laughed, "Fantastic! This is the moment I've been waiting for! You've really surprised me."

Gallagher & Mikael: "The old man is a playful kid at heart."

Mikhail then explained:

"I've managed to survive until now thanks to you, Mr. Cheng Xiao. When my good friend Tiernan met with misfortune, I thought he was dead, but I never expected him to become a sea patrol knight."

"After that, you gave him a special power, and he shared half of that power with me, which greatly extended my lifespan and made it difficult for me to die."

"The reason I've survived so many assassination attempts is because of this strength, which has protected me on several occasions."

Cheng Xiao suddenly realized that the dog he had given to Tirnan had caused such a butterfly effect.

"What about the others, Ternan?"

"He is on the other side of the River of Oblivion, performing a ritual for his fellow seafaring knights who have turned into blood-stained spirits."

"Won't he be assimilated by the aura of the River of Oblivion and become a Blood Sin Spirit?"

"Haha, with your strength as support and the pioneering spirit as guidance, he will soon be able to deliver all the victims... It's just a pity that he said he was too ashamed to go and find his boss."

After learning about the situation, Cheng Xiao asked:

"Since you're alive, why don't you stop the family's actions in Pinocchio?"

Mikhail sighed:

"The family was an ally that my companions and I actively invited. It's just that everything happened too fast, and the relationships between people changed too abruptly. I wanted to do it, but I couldn't stop it."

Mikhail then explained the development of Pinocene, about the stellar nucleus, and about the death of dreams.
