Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

“But…but someone will die, and you’ll be in danger too…this is not good luck at all! Why would you do this…” Kakavasia wiped away tears and choked with sobs.

"The Evikin will take revenge. The Mother Goddess calls me, my father and mother wait for me, and I must answer. But she has given you good fortune, asking you to live."

The woman pried open Kakavasa's clenched fist and gently clasped it with her larger, warmer hand... She closed her eyes and kissed Kakavasa's forehead, admonishing him word by word: "As long as you live, the blood of the Ewekin will never dry up. So run, Kakavasa, don't be afraid, don't look back. Go to the other side of the mountain. The rain will always be with you, and it will protect you."

"And we will meet again under the next aurora of Kakava..." The woman held his hand tightly, "May the Mother Goddess close her eyes for you three times..."

""Let your blood be everlasting...""

"The journey is always peaceful..."

“…the scheme will never be exposed.”

"Goodbye, Kakahuasha."

"..."

"A spokesperson for the company's marketing department confirmed that a small-scale rebellion broke out in the Unknown Star Region, Tsygannia, and the situation is currently under effective control—"

“The rebels are from a local clan called ‘Katika,’ who have long harbored discontent with the company and have had a serious negative impact on the marketing department’s work in the local area—”

“This clan launched a large-scale attack on the Evikin clan, which was under the company’s protection, resulting in 6728 deaths and 3452 missing. The injured are currently being received by the medical rescue organization [Trauma Front]—”

“The spokesperson concluded by stating: The hammer of protection will fall on all life, regardless of life or death, race or ideology, to defend the fundamental rights we are born with…”

"Get out! The company! Aaaaaaaaa——!"

Aqua got a pillow with the words "Interstellar Peace Company" painted on it from somewhere, and then spent the whole morning beating it madly, shouting at the top of her lungs, which excited everyone who heard it.

"Clipper's three hammers crushed [Reproduction] and saved the universe! And you can't even protect a small clan of a few thousand people. This is a disgrace to Clipper! Eat shit!"

“Ahhhhh——!”

Although Aqua's fists did not have much killing power, her excitement stimulated the surging water elemental power in her body. She punched the pillow so hard that it was soaked, as if the words "Interstellar Peace Company" had been made to cry.

"Uh……"

Kazuma pointed at the pillow that Aqua was beating hard, then turned around and asked Megumin, "Where did she get that thing?"

"Oh, recently, the image on the sky screen highlighted the company's inaction, and many adventurers were very angry. So someone painted the words "Interstellar Peace Company" on a pillow to vent their anger."

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's nothing. There's even an adventurer who maxed out his defense skill and insisted it was [Protection]. He's been getting beaten up on the street by a black-clad guy and a Katika guy pretending to be from a fake company. He's making a lot of money lately, getting beaten up for ten bucks a time... I was planning on going out and casting an explosion spell on him."

"Wouldn't it be possible to get rich quickly if Darkness goes up there?" Kazuma had an idea.

Megumin sighed softly. "Kazuma, just forget it. You don't know how much people hate you for pretending to be a company employee or a Kartika person... If you pretend to be a company employee, it might feel good to get beaten up, but what happens after that? Not only will the Adventurer's Guild not issue you quests, but no one will even want you in a team for monster hunts. And if you go drinking... the tavern owner knows you've pretended to be a Kartika person, and they'll at least add a spoonful of water to your drink."

"I even suspect... the Demon King's hatred value is not as high as that of the Kartika people right now."

“Kakavasa?”

"When Gold Sand opened his eyes again, Kakavasa had disappeared."

""…goodbye.""

"The sigh was like a well-worn old chip, slowly falling into the depths of memory. Gold Dust quietly walked to the bright red curtain, only one step away from the final stage."

“Well—the actors are in place, and it’s time for the show to begin. This performance is dedicated to you, and I hope it will leave you with unforgettable memories…”

"Suddenly, Sha Jin looked back, his gaze seeming to traverse the vast years, reaching that distant rainy night, where there were starlight wet with tears and the everlasting warmth of his sister's palm."

“…Kakavasa.”

"..."

Sunday: "By the way, before you leave, I have a rather personal question." He paused, "Do you... really want to destroy this world with your own hands?"

Gold Dust smiled deeply. "Suppose—just a hypothesis—if I had a chance of getting this result every time I rolled the dice... then I would definitely be happy to take the gamble."

-

Cut the red eyes.

"Suppose—just a hypothesis—suppose there's a person who grew up in a tribe with a harsh environment. The tribe is often massacred and plundered by other tribes. His father died in an accident, and his mother and sister were killed by the butcher's knife."

"As the last man of the tribe, he barely survived, only to be sold as a slave. After enduring life-threatening situations, he finally managed to secure a glimmer of hope..."

Will couldn't help but sigh: "If it were me, I would have wanted to hug the world and explode on the spot. Maybe that would give me some psychological satisfaction..."

"Oh? I didn't expect Will to make such a terrorist statement."

Accompanied by a high-pitched male voice, a man dressed in a white coat and dressed as a scientist slowly walked into the room.

"Mr. Fashion!"

Dr. Fashion raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If Will wants to explode the world, I can help you with physical transformation and use the latest explosives to help you."

"Mr. Fashion, I was just joking." Will scratched his head sheepishly. "But, do people like Gold Dust really exist in our empire with such tragic experiences?"

"Hmm..." Dr. Fashion lowered his head in thought for a moment. "Yes, but people with tragic life stories like this exist in every world, so they're not uncommon. They often develop antisocial personalities due to their childhood experiences, harboring a vengeful mentality towards the world... Of course, most of them become terrorists... Well, most of the rebels out there are also like this."

Dr. Fashion stared into Will's eyes seriously: "So, Will, if you encounter such a person, just kill him directly."

"On the streets during the golden hour, Walter and Huang Quan successfully reunited with Xing and the others. After briefly introducing themselves, Walter directly stated Huang Quan's current position."

"After a unanimous discussion, everyone agreed that Sha Jin, who had accused Huang Quan, was the most suspicious. Walter suspected that he had already noticed Pinocchio's secret and had taken action, but it was unclear where the Star Train fit into his plans."

"Worst case scenario... he might use the train to do something outrageous."

"Since Huang Quan will be traveling with everyone, the most urgent task is to find the gold dust first. Unfortunately, the voice of the gold dust came from the loudspeaker on the street:"

""ladies and gentlemen--""

"Pinocone's most amazing and grand show ever is about to begin - Interstellar Peace Company cordially invites you to come to the scene - Clark Movie Park!"

"Himeko couldn't help but burst out laughing. "...Look. If the actors and the audience can't show up, wouldn't all that gold dust and all the preparations be wasted?"

"Without further delay, everyone decided to rush to the park. However, at the end of the team, Huang Quan called out to Walter."

"…Mr. Walter," Huang Quan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why didn't you tell my companions about my 'true identity'?"

"Like you said, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. That long story... I can't even tell it to anyone in a few words. But I'm willing to believe you. My trust in you comes more from... my personal subjective judgment. I also believe that even if they were in my place, they would make the same decision."

"Thank you very much." Huang Quan smiled and nodded. "In return, if the situation in the upcoming confrontation becomes unfavorable to the Star Train... I will stand on your side."

“—I’m willing to do my best.”

"Speaking of which, just how meager is the 'meager power' the envoy mentioned?" Kiana scratched her head. "Can she summon a mighty spirit similar to Jingyuan Shenjun to help the train crew with a blow?"

"I'm not sure... I remember she killed Duke Hellfire. Did she draw her sword then?"

From what she could remember, Huang Quan had never actually fought, and Ji Zi couldn't recall the few battle scenes. She had just mentioned her so-called "true identity"... presumably, Huang Quan wasn't just a mere messenger.

The key point is - which star god's messenger is she?

Even within the simulated universe, during the time when [Breeding] wreaked havoc on the universe, none of the Star Gods that appeared seemed to share a fate comparable to Huang Quan's. [End], [Mystery]?

It can blur people's memories, but it itself is not the existence of [memory]...

"So, the current situation of the train crew is to form a team to defeat the gold dust? Just like fighting the boss in the game?" Bronya interrupted.

Kiana shook her head. "That's not right. Have you ever seen a boss subjugation team bring a Commander? If a battle really broke out, Gold Dust would be the challenger, right?"

Kiana excitedly got behind Mei and said, "Maybe we'll see another 'Mei' take action soon. Mei...are you happy and excited?"

"Everyone arrived at the deserted paradise, walked through the long corridor, and finally arrived in front of a large stage."

"Gold Sand's voice boomed from the surrounding speakers: 'How late you are, everyone on the Star Train, and this... [Uninvited Guest]."

"Himeko: "We have come to an appointment, Mr. Sagane. According to etiquette, you should also show up."

"Golden Sand laughed softly and said, 'Of course I will. But before that, I'd like to introduce tonight's protagonist..."

"A round of applause for Miss Star Core!"

"Xing smiled widely and waved to the cameras around her: 'Mom, I'm on TV!'"

Chapter 413 Pinocchio (Ninety-four)

"Uh..." San Yueqi was immediately speechless.

Walter folded his arms and said seriously, "Let me remind you that this stage and Xing's identity have nothing to do with catching the real murderer."

"No, it's related. Of course it's related. Otherwise, why would I work so hard to gain your trust and invite you all here? Because she's the only eyewitness to three murders, and she's the perfect person to prove that the statement 'there are no casualties in dreams' is just empty talk!"

Ji Zi frowned: "Three murders?"

"Yes, ma'am. The third murder is about to happen. Right here at Klock's Movieland... a truly spectacular death."

"You, you, you... and you... everyone will die—and it's all because of you, Miss Star Core... You will become Death here."

-

Gintama.

"Does Xing know how powerful he is?"

Gintoki picked his nose while looking at the bewildered Hoshi in the sky. "Isn't this guy just trying to flatter the protagonist? It's that classic 'praising the protagonist before the battle, letting them puff up and then reveal their flaws' scene."

"If it weren't for Miss Yomi standing next to her, I might have believed it a little bit." Kagura sat on Sadaharu's neck, cradling his furry head. "The problem is... there's absolutely no image that could threaten Yomi. Xing would have to instantly gain power beyond that of a Commander to bring about Yomi's death."

"Instantly surpassing the Commander..." Gintoki imagined for a moment, "If Xing can transform into a Super Saiyan, it's possible, and can directly evolve to the Super Saiyan 3 level... Maybe he can fight Yomi on equal terms?"

"Hey, Gin-san, you're being too disparaging of Hoshi." Shinbaji pushed his glasses up, his brows furrowed into a splayed shape, and began a serious discussion: "Super Saiyan 3 has a combat power 400 times that of normal! Hoshi is someone who's been glanced at by Nanook, after all. She's a legitimate [Destruction] Fatewalker. If her attack power is 400 times that of Yomiuri!"

"Xinbaji, have you ever seen Huang Quan draw his sword?" Kagura on the side suddenly interrupted and asked.

"..."

This question stumped Shinpachi. His impression of Yomi was that sheathed, and he couldn't recall any older battles. But he still insisted that since Yomi was a Commander, there wouldn't be much difference between him and Jing Yuan and the others.

"I haven't seen it, but it should be about the same power as the Godly Lord's Great Slash, right?"

-

"How do you guarantee your survival?" Xing asked.

Gold Dust chuckled, "Of course, don't underestimate Cunhu. The Amber King's cornerstone will show me the way out. Let me be more clear: I will detonate the star core within you, causing a small 'accident' in Pinocchio..."

"Bang! The entire paradise will be transformed into a shattered dream. And then, before my family can react, I will be the navigator of the company's fleet."

Huang Quan was completely unconvinced. She placed one hand on her hip and looked up, saying, "Bluffing won't work on us. If you could really do it, you would have had plenty of opportunities."

"You're making a bet? Fine, then I'll join you. I'm betting on a grand victory, proving the Oath of Harmony a complete joke with an unprecedented explosion."

"…You can't do it." Huang Quan said coldly.

"Of course I can do it, but it's just another gamble." Gold Sand's previously high-pitched voice gradually calmed down. "I came from the deserts of Gygania. For sixty copper coins, people branded me, shackled me, sent me to the rack, and buried me in the yellow sand..."

"But the sun couldn't kill me. Instead, the quicksand carried me to the embrace of the academy and the company. Remember, I didn't win just once by chance. I've never lost."

"Let me share a proverb with you: Sleep is a rehearsal for death. Why does life sleep? Because we are not yet ready to face death. Every night, dreaming is like entering death, just like you and I at this moment, with the intention of death in our hearts, we retreat into sleep. And [Death]... will also come in response to our dreams."

"Friends, the game has begun. You can't refuse—"

““—There is no reason, and no room for maneuver.””

"The moment Gold Sand finished speaking, all the spotlights suddenly went out, and the sky was gradually engulfed by leaden-gray clouds. Xing subconsciously picked up the flame spear and blocked the way in front of everyone."

"The dice have been rolled. Are you ready to show your cards?"

"In the pitch darkness, the display screen on the stage suddenly lit up, and Jin Sha appeared on the screen. He looked at the flaming spear in Xing's hand with impunity, a hint of contempt curling up at the corner of his mouth."

"The city builders' inferior stones, hahahaha... worthless."
