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

"The grand theater suspended high in the sky is where the Star Core is stored. We once used the power of the Star Core to help build the dream, but we must never rely on it."

"But the family doesn't think so. They are fanatically researching star cores, just to extract more power."

"I tried to stop it, but my friend Gopher betrayed me..."

At this point, Gallagher clicked his tongue, seemingly extremely dissatisfied.

"Gopher Wood is my good friend. We used to fight for the same dream, but he changed. He became stubborn, domineering, and a control freak. Sigh..."

Cheng Xiao recorded: "So you plan to unite with the younger generation of pioneers to overthrow Gopher's rule?"

"More or less, but I don't blame Gopher. We were both at fault."

Gallagher covered his face and pushed Mikael away, seemingly unwilling to listen to what was to come.

Cheng Xiao was puzzled.

Mikhail then spoke:

"Gopher, he was such a gentle and loving man. I thought he would always be like that, but while he was openly developing Pinocchio, he suffered countless assassination attempts and betrayals..."

"Due to conflicts such as the ban on the sale of Sulphur, the 'Cowboy' thugs, representing the forces of disorder, carried out a bomb attack, which severely injured Gopher and caused him to lose his wings. How much pain he must have been in at that time..."

"Unexpectedly, the rioters launched another large-scale disturbance, polluting the theater troupe and setting fire to the Daydream Hotel. Gopher Wood sacrificed himself to save people, entering the inferno but resulting in his body being burned to ashes..."

"And the shirking of responsibility by the family patriarch, perhaps these things are what caused him to break down and lead him to extremes and dictatorship."

Mikhail's tone became worried:

"But I failed to empathize with his feelings; instead, I rebelled against him because of his extreme use of the Star Core to create a dream prison..."

"Gopherwood... my friend, how I long to chat with you again, to share fine wine with you..."

Mikhail started crying to himself.

Cheng Xiao sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. So all of this is because of you two crazy old men?

Now that Gopher has lost his physical body and Mikhail is at his last gasp, the two have parted ways due to their ideological differences, yet they still care for each other, but neither is willing to lower themselves to seek reconciliation or even have a conversation.

What Gopher suffered was indeed the malice of this world, an undeserved calamity. He became the dream master of the dream world, and there was no turning back.

The Sky Ring siblings he adopted, especially the older brother Sunday, were also influenced by Gopher's philosophy, even to an extreme degree.

Having finally figured out the cause and effect, Cheng Xiao sighed helplessly. He finally understood why Galah couldn't stay any longer.

If either of these two madmen had been more proactive, things wouldn't have come to this.

What's the purpose of having a mouth?

Now, Gopher has betrayed the harmony and is using the harsh methods of order to control the family, turning them into his puppets. He is accumulating power to revive order.

The one who implemented and carried out all the plans was his adopted son, Sunday.

Mikhail, naturally, could not stand idly by, so he invited his pioneering descendants, in the name of a watchmaker, to shatter Gopher's obsession.

After clarifying the situation, Cheng Xiao planned to leave.

Upon closer inspection, the remaining power of the [Dog] talisman within Mikhail's body is actually very weak.

He's still clinging to life, perhaps just wanting to see Gophermu one more time.

This damn pioneering friendship is too heavy.

......

The gold dust tossed coins around, humming a cheerful little tune.

The original plan was overturned by Cheng Xiao's arrival, and now the gold dust has no worries.

I want to see him on Sunday, great, I'll go then, it'll be a good way to clear my head.

As the gold dust entered the dreamlike room, Sunday stood in the main seat with his hands behind his back as he entered the luxurious living room of the oak family.

"Welcome, Mr. Sand Gold, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

"Haha, I am also very honored. After all, as the company's ambassador, there are quite a few people here who are hostile to me."

"Please sit down."

"No need, let's hurry up, the Golden Casino is about to start the next round."

On Sunday, he frowned slightly, then relaxed and sat up gracefully.

"So... Mr. Sand Gold, did you come to Pinocene for company shares?"

"Ah, guess whatever you want. By the way, where's my gift money? You've checked it, right? Can you return it to me now? I need to use it to gamble."

"Oh? Mr. Sand Gold doesn't want your [foundation]?"

"Sigh~ That kind of thing is dangerous, isn't it? You'll feel more at ease leaving it with you, won't you?"

On Sunday, her brows furrowed slightly, and a dazzling, enchanting aura lingered in the room.

Sand Gold felt countless mutterings echoing in his mind, causing him unbearable headaches.

"Hey! Sunday, what do you mean? You actually tuned me?!"

On Sunday, he rested his chin on his hands and smiled:

"All the waiters here have withdrawn, Mr. Sand Gold. I have no intention of offending you, but I hope to have an honest and truthful conversation with others."

"Honest and truthful? Ha, is that your reason for using tuning?!"

"Don't worry, as long as you are honest enough, Mr. Sand Gold, I will not make things difficult for you."

Sand Gold caught his breath and said fiercely, "Ask away!"

"First question: Is the company here solely for Pinocene shares?"

"That's right!"

On Sunday, I closed my eyes, as if trying to feel the truth of words.

"Second question: Is the foundation stone you gave me your gold dust?"

"no."

On Sunday, I frowned and lifted a small cloth cover, revealing two quietly lying foundation stones, one yellow and one green.

"You actually admitted it? That's so unlike you."

On Sunday, Japan thought that the gold deposit would admit that the topaz base stone belonged to him, so that they could catch the gold deposit in the act. Unexpectedly, the gold deposit admitted that it did not belong to him.

Wouldn't it have been a loss to try and make a deal with Latio before?

On Sunday, he picked up the jade stone that was hidden by aventurine, and because of Ladio's explanation, he now thought the jade stone was aventurine.

"I don't understand. You deliberately hid the gold nuggets to deceive everyone, so why are you admitting it now?"

Sand Gold, sweating profusely, looked at Ladio, who had emerged from the shadows:

"Hey, Professor, backstabbing your teammates isn't a very nice thing to do, is it?"

Ladio closed the book and said calmly:

"Backstabbing? I didn't."

Then Sand Gold looked at Sunday and said jokingly:

"Please, I'm in tuning mode right now, how could I dare to lie? I wouldn't dare to play tricks in front of a god with three faces."

The volume suddenly increased on Sunday:

"You're up to something, aren't you?! Don't think I don't know!"

"Say what you want~"

"Third question! Is that Mr. Cheng Xiao in cahoots with you? Will he affect the Harmonious Music Ceremony?"

Sand Gold's expression turned cold:

Why should I tell you?

"No one can refuse me a second time!"

He was already building up his anger when he was refused an invitation to sit down on Sunday.
