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

"The train is preparing for a jump. Passengers, please hold on tight!"

Pam's voice came through the radio.

Once again, the Star Train transformed into a beam of azure light, traversing space and arriving at a dazzling planet in the blink of an eye.

The planet's surface is made up of blocks, like individual pixels.

Cheng Xiao looked through the glass at the world called Two-Phase Paradise. Everything here was unknown, and he wondered what kind of big guy was hidden there.

This time, there was no black swan to find them a boss. She was too famous because of Onfaros, and now many people have designs on her.

Himeko explained to everyone:

"The Starry Sky Train has been departing from here since its repair, and there's even a dedicated stop for it in the Two-Phase Paradise, and..."

Walter added:

"Everything our train crew has done so far was originally part of the company's normal publicity efforts, but someone's fan-made work, based on us, suddenly went viral, causing our journey to be the focus of attention."

Xing asked curiously, "Going viral? Does that mean we're going to become stars too?!"

March 7th: "Really? Is it too late for me to practice my autograph now?"

Dan Heng: "Being too well-known doesn't always feel like a good thing."

Bai Heng, holding a serialized comic book, said:

"Could it be this 'Sotenkoku Fuyuu-go'? I remember it started serialization a long time ago, and at the beginning it only had one character, Bat Raccoon!"

As everyone looked at the comic, the cartoon characters clearly matched their own characteristics.

The Fluffy Train—the Starry Sky Train. (What a lovely name!)

Bat Raccoon – Star. (A top-tier trailblazer naturally deserves a top-tier image!)

The March Hare – March 7th. (Wow, I'm so cute!)

Woof woof Dan—Danheng. (Why am I a dog? I'm a dragon!)

Himeko, the cat. (Oh my gosh, I'm a cat? Whoa!)

Uncle Yang – Walter. (Why am I the only one not named after an animal? By the way, what animal do I resemble? A canine?)

The train conductor—Pam. (Pam is actually the train conductor Pa!)

Zhou Tiange – Sunday. (This is much better than the nickname "Chicken Wing Boy").

Super Wings – Bai Heng. (Hey! My old title has been stolen! I want to complain!)

Xiaoxiaolong – Riding the wind. (Even I have a fan-made cartoon character? This author seems to have been paying attention to us for a while.)

In addition, the Star Train seems to have undergone a secondary creation in every world it passed through.

Even the members of the Star Core Hunters have corresponding cartoon characters.

Even the five elite warriors on the cloud have created a fan-made account called "Cloud Five Team".

When Cheng Xiao saw Jing Yuan being called Jing Yuan Yuan, he almost couldn't hold back.

The group began discussing the comic's plot. It must be said that the author's drawing skills were superb, and the plot was very well-designed, making it a very enjoyable read.

Himeko clapped her hands: "Alright everyone, you can take your time reading the manga, the train is about to arrive at the station."

March 7th was a little nervous: "Wow, a train-only stop, it sounds like I'm coming home."

When the train entered the Tomochi Station platform at Nissōrakuen, it found the entire platform packed with people.

They held up various signs and cheered and shouted incessantly.

The train crew could be seen through the windows that they were being welcomed.

"Wow! It really is the Star Train! Oh my god, I really saw the Star Train!"

"Look! The Trail Blazers are getting off the bus, and that gray-haired guy! I can't mistake him, that's Bat Raccoon!"

"March Hare, Danny Dog, so many characters, and they all look absolutely gorgeous in real life!"

"Trailblazer, please give me an autograph!"

Xing was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic fans. At first, she was a little overwhelmed, but then she couldn't help but smile.

"I just can't do anything with you guys! Give me a pen!"

Bai Heng sighed, "Even the Five Heroes of the Clouds aren't this popular on the Immortal Ship, are they?"

Cheng Xiao retorted: "How could that be? When Yunwu was first established, it had countless fanatical fans. If it weren't for the fact that the Changsheng people have a relatively stable mindset and mostly keep their reverence in their hearts, your daily lives would not be peaceful."

The train crew was like celebrities who had just disembarked, with various cameras flashing and taking pictures of them.

Sunday sighed, somewhat exasperated: "It's so noisy, even more so than Pinocchio's dream."

After some struggle, the group managed to escape the fans' pursuit.

Finally, amidst the noisy crowd, a faint, fanatical voice rang in Cheng Xiao's ear:

[Star Train, do not depart!]

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if he was being watched by something.

......

Once they reached a less crowded spot, they began discussing their next move.

Himeko said:

"Lady Emerald has always wanted our train to join the Anti-Destruction Alliance. While it sounds appealing, as the navigator, I cannot unilaterally shoulder the responsibility. Although we will not stand idly by in the face of destruction, this is not mandatory; every pioneer has the freedom to choose."

Himeko greatly respects everyone's opinions, and Welt spoke on behalf of everyone:

"Actually, we are not against joining the alliance, but the freedom of the train cannot be restricted. What position should we occupy within the alliance, and how should that be decided?"

"Well, let Ms. Zhenzhu answer that for us."

Then a projection appeared, which was a pearl.

Cheng Xiao and Bai Heng showed surprised expressions, while Zhenzhu was very satisfied:

"I just wanted to give Mr. Cheng Xiao and Bai Heng a little surprise, didn't expect that, did you~"

Cheng Xiao asked curiously, "Zhenzhu, what are you doing at the Two-Phase Paradise?"

"I am the CEO of Nissho Paradise, dispatched by the company, and also the CEO of the Pearl Star Consortium. We'll discuss the details when we officially meet."

Zhenzhu bowed slightly, her manners impeccable.

"First of all, as the CEO, I welcome you all to the Two-Phase Paradise. I will cover all expenses for the Starry Sky Train here. As for the specifics, I have arranged for staff to handle them. I hope you have a pleasant time."

Look at that, covering all expenses, how generous! It truly demonstrates the company's financial strength and generosity.

Xing is already gearing up; if she doesn't empty out the entire Two-Phase Paradise, she won't be a pioneer.

Riding the breeze, I admired the stars and performed a two-finger Zen move:

"Take it easy, don't put Zhenzhu in a difficult position."

"Uncle Xiao, I was just kidding. Even if I had a lot of money, I would still only like to rummage through trash cans."

"You haven't changed your original intentions."

The amusing interaction made Zhenzhu laugh, and such obvious emotional fluctuations made it hard to believe that Zhenzhu was an AI.

"Please enjoy yourselves at the park. I will arrange a time and place to meet you."

Sunday fell silent for a moment: "Paradise... what's the difference between this so-called paradise and the world of dreams?"
