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

The entire Sound Academy fell silent for a full minute.

What? Don't the Trail Blazers know how to express their demands? If they can't convince me in this final stretch, this old man will be forced to choose between those two options.

Xing took a few deep breaths, then revealed an impatient expression:

"I arrived in Thousand Star City with a tight schedule, but I've been delayed by all sorts of complicated procedures and schemes. I only feel annoyed and angry. The company's attitude is so ambiguous; are they still engaged in power struggles at a time like this?!"

"Well then, I don't need to hold back anymore, right, Train Crew... Senshuu Yuzhao... (Furubu... Yura Yura...)"

"Behold my summoning! Twelve talismans, an otherworldly divine general, Uncle Xiao!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Xu Zhao quickly interrupted Xing's dangerous gesture.

"Hey, Xu Zhao, whose side are you on?" Bai Heng asked, somewhat displeased.

Old Zaitian's electronic voice also faltered a bit; he hadn't expected Xing to self-destruct directly.

[Trailblazer, as I just said, you really enjoy playing with fire. The power struggles within the company are indeed complex, no longer like the simple and honest "support team" of yesteryear. But no matter how much the kids squabble, we will uphold our commitment to preservation.]

Xing shook his head: "No need. Uncle Xiao has already said that he will handle the gluttonous beast molt in the Two Phases Paradise. He only sought the company's help to reduce trouble. Since the company is not cooperating, there is no need for the Starry Sky Train to waste its time here."

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Bai Heng took the initiative and asked, "So, what exactly does the company want?"

"Aunt Bai Heng, why are you wasting your breath talking to them?"

"No, no, no, after all, it's a company. Xianzhou and the company are still friendly partners. Let's give each other a way out."

[Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Bai Heng. Well, I'll be frank then. What I really want to see is the Starry Sky Train's resolve to save the Two-Phase Paradise, not reliance on external forces.]

So, Trailblazers, how will you handle the crisis at Two-Phase Paradise?

"Me? The Two Realms Paradise is Himeko's hometown, a world inhabited by countless lives. My friends and companions are all working hard to maintain order there. If it weren't for Uncle Xiao's help, I would restart the Phantom Moon Game as an Attendant, and then use Aha's authority to completely seal away Gluttony!"

[Oh? How can you guarantee that the capricious Aha will be on your side?]

"Heh, so what makes you so sure Aha won't be on my side?"

[Of course I can't be certain, after all, I've never dealt with Star God and have no right to speak, but what you said is very true. Now that you've expressed your will, it's the company's turn to prove its sincerity.]

[I was merely an introducer; the real decision was made by Louis Fleming. Now, Chairman, it's your turn to speak.]

Everyone was startled, and then another communication channel was opened, from which an androgynous electronic voice rang out.

[Louis]: How many Amber Ages have passed... Old friend, you've returned?

Xing: "Who are your old friends?"

[Louis]: Hehehe, since you intend to use Aha's authority, the company will fully assist you as long as Aha himself agrees to your proposal.

Xing: "Are you kidding me! Where am I supposed to find you an Aha?!"

Bai Heng: "Exactly! Could it be that Aha is going to appear in front of us right now?"

[Louis]: Hahahaha, old friend, what are you thinking?

Xu Zhao: "Is there even a question? When have I ever opposed [Akivili]'s idea?"

Star: "Illusory light shines on you..."

Bai Heng: "?"

[Louis]: Very well, then as always, I wish you good luck. In Tian, ​​let's announce the verdict.

"Yes, sir. By the sacred authority granted to us by the Amber King, the Traditional Projects Department has decided to cast its vote for the Starry Sky Train. The company will fully assist the Starry Sky Train in resolving the Gluttonous Beast's molting."

[Thus, the resolution is complete, and there are no further disputes. The divine mandate of preservation will surely be manifest.]

Pearl, far away in the Two-Phase Paradise, sensed the tremor of the foundation stone and joyfully notified everyone:

"The pioneers succeeded! The guardian's gaze is now fixed on the Two-Phase Paradise; the gluttonous will absolutely not be able to cause trouble here!"

Sambo said regretfully, "Well then, fellow refugees from the tour group, our wonderful journey to Berenberg and the Fairy Ship is coming to an end. If you enjoyed this trip, please come back to the tavern to support old Sambo's business in the future!"

Spark: "Don't take this opportunity to call it a day, okay? We're all fans of Spark, you're stealing my attention."

Hidden in the shadows, Hanabi sighed, "By the God of Fun, this time we should be able to pay off Pinocchio's debt, right? I don't want to be locked in the dark room by the God of Fun again."

Eyo said to Shinju, "I will paint again, but this time it's not for salvation, just a simple artistic exchange. Do you want to learn, Shinju?"

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Silver Wolf was playing the game console, and the happy game cartridge was perfectly intact in his bag.

"We were almost out of battery, are you finally done? It seems like we don't need to lift a finger anymore. Xing's star core barely lost any energy, so the rest of the story looks like it'll be much easier."

Yingxing was somewhat looking forward to it; these days were truly wonderful, and she was even more eager to see what kind of adventures the future held.

Inside the building materials logistics department, Taravan wore a satisfied smile:

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, it seems the matter has been resolved smoothly. The company will fully cooperate with Starry Sky Train in dealing with the gluttony problem."

"What happened? I just cooked a dish, and the problem is solved?" Cheng Xiao looked completely bewildered.

"Hahaha, you'll have to ask those pioneers. They must have convinced Mr. Zaida. But judging from how well the company is operating, it seems the person who supports the Star Train is probably our beloved chairman."

Cheng Xiao, having understood the situation, took off his apron, preparing to meet the stars.

Talavan quickly grabbed Cheng Xiao's leg, his unusually obese body resembling Bo Gang clinging to the Holy Lord.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao! Where are you going?"

"Let go. Now that things are resolved, I should be leaving." Cheng Xiao said helplessly. If it weren't for the [Ox] talisman, he felt he wouldn't be able to move this behemoth at all.

"No, Mr. Cheng Xiao, please don't leave so quickly! Please cook me one more meal, please!"

Seeing Taravan, the guardian of the order, crying and pleading with snot and tears streaming down his face, Cheng Xiao could only shake his head helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll customize a nutritional weight loss meal plan for you."

Meanwhile, on Xing's side...

But soon, Tian's communication was restored, and he made his request.
