Collapsing, the whole class turned into aliens upon waking up

Looking at the figure before him, Screw Gum's tone was filled with certainty.

"Eh? Hanabi-sama, was your disguise not good enough? And, you have guts? Actually, it doesn't really require much guts. Rakugo-sama would be more than happy to do something like this~?"

Hanabi tilted her head, closed one eye, and struck a cute pose.

Fireworks are indeed cute in this pose, but... if the tavern's design and the Masked Fool's best-selling products are also matched with the pose...

The Goddess of Joy is acting cute right in front of me? Oh, what a terrible sight.

Looking at everything before him, Screw Gum couldn't help but think to himself.

Honkai Impact 3rd: Chapter 1330: Bronya: My parallel universe self can't possibly not be a gaming master!

"Hanabi...who is that?"

At this moment, Xing's expression was somewhat confused, clearly indicating that Xing on the screen had not yet encountered Fireworks at Pinocchio.

"I did some research on recent guests before coming to Pinocchio, and this Miss Fireworks is a masked fool."

She explained to Hoshino beside her, and at that moment, Hanabi dropped her pretense and pretended to be scared: "Ugh, you actually investigated me behind my back~"

Clearly, Hanabi's fear was feigned; the flippant tone revealed that this fool of Aha was completely unconcerned about being investigated.

"So, Ms. Hanabi, what are you planning to do by blocking our way?"

Gazing at the fireworks, Screw Gum slowly asked.

"Oh dear, oh dear, there's nothing I can do. Who told that chicken-wing boy to cry and say that he has no one to use, that he's so tired, and that he wants to create a world with seven days off a week."

Seeing the boy with teary eyes, Hanabi couldn't bear it and decided to help him.

Ah, perhaps the strong supporting the weak, like fireworks, has the potential to become companions on a shared destiny.

Hanabi clutched her chest, wearing an expression that suggested she was truly noble and great.

This is a lie.

As for Hanabi's words, Screw immediately understood them.

Judging from his appearance, the "chicken-winged boy" was probably Sunday, the person chosen by the dreamer to be in charge of the Harmony Ceremony.

On Sunday, someone cried and begged Hanabi for help.

If such a thing were to actually happen, I'd probably first suspect that I've been tricked by a fictional historian.

At the same time, the surrounding colors changed, and the special effects created by the fireworks suddenly became truly fitting for the identity of the Masked Fool.

"I don't want a genius, and a genius with far-reaching connections, to perish in Pinocchio, so... you gentlemen should just head over to the VIP room I've prepared for you."

That being said, judging from the power fluctuations that the fireworks are exhibiting at this moment, it seems to imply that if you don't come to visit, I'll force you to come.

"I don't know how the Pleasant Fool and the Harmonious Walker could work together, but... I'm very interested in what you're secretly researching. I'm sorry, Miss Hanabi, I can't do as you wish."

Looking at the fireworks before him, Screw Gum spoke slowly.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect we'd end up fighting anyway. Violence isn't a good solution, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"So, intellectual geniuses and pioneering nameless adventurers, let Lady Hanabi keep you company."

With a light snap of her fingers, several afterimages appeared beside Hanabi in the next instant.

"Star Core Hunter?"

Upon seeing the phantom, Screwgoom assumed a fighting stance, his Celestial Secret Technique already ready to be activated.

"Mom! Second Uncle! That game account that got banned so many times!"

At that moment, Star, who was standing next to Screw Gum, suddenly lit up and called out loudly involuntarily.

"The behavior of organic life is sometimes like a deer's horn hanging in the air, which is impossible to follow. It often gives me a lot of inspiration. Miss Xing, you are a talent. You can always do things that are beyond my understanding."

However, please don't casually claim kinship at a time like this. Also, I think the people in front of you are illusions created by Ms. Hanabi, right?

Xing's sudden action seemed to leave Screw Gum speechless, while at the same time, the Phantom Blade charged towards the two of them.

As for the viewing area, everyone instinctively turned their gaze to Bronya.

Judging from the perspective of that star when it was calling out, the one whose game account has been banned multiple times looks a lot like Bronya.

"Bronya, it seems your parallel universe counterpart...is quite famous?"

Mei blurted out something without thinking, but Bronya remained calm upon hearing it: "That's only natural. Bronya doesn't think of herself as a weak being."

At the same time, Kiana suddenly triggered Su Nuwanyexiao's subconscious question: "Bronya, why was the account banned?"

Bronya felt that Kiana had said something quite rude.

Upon hearing this, Bronya immediately complained that she simply couldn't imagine how desperate she would be if her game account were banned in a parallel universe.

"I don't know why, but when I heard that sentence, I felt like my heart was about to stop."

Raven said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "I... I don't have a game account." Why did this sentence structure make him feel a little uncomfortable?

"That game account that got banned so many times, it seems like it couldn't remember its identity and subconsciously remembered an identity it did remember."

Tesla couldn't help but complain as he looked at the screen. What kind of person was Bronya's counterpart in the parallel universe? The first impression she gave was that it was related to games.

"For the genius player Broly, it's not shameful to be associated with games, but... Bronya suspects that the real reason her counterpart's game was banned is inseparable from the jealousy of her rivals."

Bronya sounded somewhat certain. What? The parallel universe version of herself wasn't a gaming expert?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

On the screen, watching Slugum fight the phantom Star Core Hunter she had created, Hanabi rested her chin on her hands, adopting an expression of anticipation:

"Wow, is this the Celestial Legacy that the universe-renowned Screw Gum obtained? It's definitely not something an ordinary life form can cultivate."

Speaking of which, did Mr. Screw Goom, as the successor of that Celestial Venerable, really come to Pinocchio because of the Celestial Venerable's old friend, the God of Shattering?

"Hmm, perhaps it was instructed by the Venerable Master Boshi behind this."

Hanabi muttered to herself, while Screw Gum, who was fighting, casually replied, "It seems that Miss Hanabi knows quite a lot."

Unfortunately, my arrival this time was not authorized by any authority; it was purely my personal action. And the power behind this is immense... Hanabi, is there something helping you from behind?

Screw Gum's tone was full of certainty, while Hanabi continued unhurriedly, "You don't need to think about it to know this. If you don't have confidence, Lady Hanabi doesn't want to face an intellectual genius."

"But, Celestial Venerable's successor, if you were to obtain a portion of the corpse of the Shattered God, the Serpent Father Fuxi, discovered in Pinocchio, you'd probably gain considerable enhancements, wouldn't you?"

Ugh, I need to take a break. I managed to get up, but I'm still so sleepy I can't keep my eyes open. I'll make up for it in the next chapter, and once I'm awake, I'll get back to work!

Honkai Impact 3rd Year: Chapter 1331: Screw Gum: Guess what I brought to Pinocchio?

Cang Xuan's... corpse?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the viewing space subconsciously perked up. Although they knew that the ancient man Cang Xuan from the original world had his body shattered in the war with Dan Zhu, it seemed that his shattered body still possessed some incredible power.

On the screen, Screwgoom, upon hearing this, showed no surprise: "The body of the Shattered God? I would only collect such a thing. Although the paths are similar, there are still many differences between the system created by the god worshipped by the Church of the Shattered God and the system of the Primordial Lord of Cybertron that I practice."

Perhaps some knowledge can be converted between each other, but I don't think I can directly withstand the power of the shattered god's remains.

"Hmm, it seems that even though they are all paths to mechanical ascension, they will be different. However... Screw, there is no point in continuing to resist. After all... you can't defy me, who possesses this borrowed power, right?"

The phantom before them, under the power of order, had even surpassed the true form of the Star Core Hunter. Anyone could easily see that Screw Goom was in poor condition at this moment.

Looking at the presence before him, Screw Gum surprisingly chose to disregard martial ethics without hesitation: "Having learned some information about that genius, I brought a dangerous object that could threaten the entire situation before I even arrived in Pinocchio."

Fireworks, and Mr. Sunday hiding behind the scenes, you don't want me to use the power of that thing, do you?

“A dangerous thing… What did our genius bring into Pinocchio?”

Hanabi made no attempt to hide her curiosity as she asked the question to the screw-gum in front of her.

For her, the more chaotic the stage, the better; the more chaotic the stage, the more fun!

"What is it...? I brought very little. I don't know if any of you have heard of Theresa."

Screw Gum seemed very confident in his trump card, and the moment the name Theresa appeared on the screen, this Grand Marshal of the Magic Path became the focus of the entire audience.

"Auntie, could it be... that you're behind Screwgum's trump card? Or do you have connections with the Celestial Venerable?"

Looking at the white-haired loli in front of her, Kiana asked with some curiosity.

"Why would you have such an outrageous idea? Besides, the headmaster's business hasn't even expanded to parallel universes yet."

Theresa said without hesitation, "I can't take the blame for this myself."

"Whether the business has expanded to parallel universes or not is not important, and besides, Auntie, your power is inherently suited to traveling between different parallel universes."

Kiana casually remarked that her aunt seemed a bit silly and clumsy, as if she had lost a lot of her memories, but she still believed that her aunt had many hidden tricks up her sleeve.

The people of World Serpent might think it was just a facade put on by Theresa, but Kiana genuinely believed it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the fireworks display on the screen was facing a rather troublesome situation.

Screw Gum, an intellectual genius, the threat posed by the guy in front of us is undoubtedly enormous. If he were the enemy, we would certainly be wary of him.

Staring at the Screw Goomu before her, Hanabi said with a headache, "Theresa? The one who once plunged the Imaginary Tree into a terrible calamity?"

"Auntie, all your past misdeeds have been passed down to this universe."

Upon hearing Hanabi's words, Kiana instinctively asked a question.

"As expected of the Demonic Path Marshal, a formidable enemy of the Lord."

Upon hearing that Theresa had orchestrated a calamity that swept through imaginary numbers, the jackal wore an expression of utter nonchalance.

Only such an enemy is qualified to oppose the Lord.

If asked who they consider the most threatening, then... Theresa Apocalypse would be the top answer.

At the same time, Screw Gum on the screen did not hide anything and revealed his trump card.

"You should be well aware of the existence of the Theresa virus. The negative impact of that disaster on the Imaginary Tree is simply immeasurable."

Looking at the figure in front of him, Screw Gum slowly took out a test tube.

"You bastard, you're not planning to release the Theresa virus here, are you?"

The line between genius and idiot may be very thin. This virus may turn the tourists in the dream into idiots who can only babble, but... it can be easily done as long as that great task is completed on Sunday.

Is this all you have to offer? At best, it'll only buy you a little time.

Fireworks ruthlessly made a sarcastic remark, to which Screw Gum shook his head: "No, this is not the Theresa virus, but a different concept."

"All it takes is injecting something like this into Xing's body, and Pella will awaken within Xing's body."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino subconsciously retorted, "Why doesn't Mr. Screwgun inject himself? Am I some kind of threatening bomb? Speaking of which, Pella..."

"Because your injection is the safest. As for Pera, yes, that's the one I was thinking of, the one from Ariello."

Screw Gum said without hesitation that he would not actually choose to carry out a biochemical attack in Pinocene, and that even if Star was injected, Star Core could be used to prevent Peraization.

"Huh? Pera, is she that good?"

Upon hearing this, Xing asked instinctively, and everyone in the viewing area shared the same confusion.

I thought Screw's trump card was a power related to the Grand Marshal of the Underworld, but now Pella has inexplicably appeared.

What is the relationship between Pella and the Grand Marshal of the Demonic Path?

"She... is involved in some secrets. She is aware of one of the variants of the Theresa virus left behind by the famous powerful magic marshal of the Imaginary Tree, and with her terrifying characteristics, she has reproduced that variant virus on herself."

Therefore, the Pella virus has appeared in the universe. This virus can transform infected people into Pella, simulating the troublesome possibility of a complete outbreak of the Pella virus that the universe once predicted.

That would be a catastrophe no less devastating than the Imperial War, known as the Pella Calamity, in which many renowned and powerful figures in that future have already become Pella.

Small Pella, Big Pella, Small and Large Pella, Fire Pella, and so on—infected Pella-like life forms are everywhere in the universe, but those that are immune to the Pella virus and can ignore the existence of Pella-like beings are extremely rare.

Previous records only confirmed that Yan Qing, the prodigy from Luofu who aspired to embark on the path of the Chaotic Ancient Era, was immune to the Pella virus.

At this moment, Screw Gum gave this explanation, and Xing immediately realized the seriousness of the matter after hearing the explanation of the Pella virus.

Honkai Impact 3rd Year: Chapter 1332: Emperor Yanqing, with his back to all living beings, battles against thousands of Pella.

Will that kind of future ever happen in reality?

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xing's tone was somewhat worried. Upon hearing this, Screw Gum shook his head: "No, that kind of future... theoretically, it won't happen. After all, that Infected Zero, who is also the creator of the Pella virus, is currently indulging in the illusion of Yalilo."

As long as that child never realizes his own terror, the Pella catastrophe will never happen again. However... I cannot be certain about the will of certain powerful beings—those whose will is mostly unmeasurable in the simulated universe, and can only be glimpsed by a select few intellectuals.

While Screwgoom and Star were talking, Fireworks had already brought over a small stool so that Star Core Hunter's phantom would stop attacking and sit down next to her.

"Why~"

Hanabi's tone didn't hide her curiosity, and seeing this, Hoshi subconsciously retorted, "Isn't this just slacking off?"

"Hey, little gray hair, listening to Screw Gum tell stories is much more interesting than fulfilling your Sunday promise. Besides, you're bound to hear some insider information from an intellectual genius that's hard to find outside."
