Chapter 201
Furina: "So that's the idea Mr. Sunday had."
Furina: "No wonder he said he had no intention of becoming any king."
March 7th: "However, the premise of achieving all this is still to rely on him, right?"
March 7th: "What's the difference between this and a king?"
Sunday: "This is what I said before."
Sunday: "I have no intention of becoming a king, but what I must do has forced me to become a so-called king."
Sunday: "But if this is a necessary move, then I have no other choice."
Stelle: "Good guy, these high-sounding words, if they hadn't come from your mouth, a stubborn person with a frighteningly high moral bottom line, I would have started spraying!"
The video continues.
The three continued to move forward,
and finally arrived at the last puppet performance location.
"Hmm? According to the previous two acts, shouldn't a small story be triggered here, and then start fighting?"
"Why don't these puppets have any lines?"
March 7th looked at those motionless puppets,
somewhat puzzled.
"Maybe like the last act, we need to complete the script ourselves."
Himeko pondered for a moment and replied.
"Then... Stelle, see if they need to adjust their emotions or something."
Stelle: "Tsk, without me, this family really can't move an inch!"
Stelle: "Watching a play, I have to push it myself."
March 7th: "What are you proud of?"
March 7th: "When we learn the Clockwork too, this job won't need you anymore."
Stelle: "You?"
Stelle: "You're silly, I bet you can't learn it."
March 7th: "Damn it, you dare to look down on this lady!!"
Hu Tao: "Ahem... speaking of which."
Hu Tao: "This ability doesn't seem to be learned, right?"
Hu Tao: "It should be that whoever Clockie shares this ability with can use it."
Stelle: "That's true, then I must hide Clockie."
Stelle: "Can't let others learn our signature skill!"
Silver Wolf: "???"
Silver Wolf: "What kind of belly full of bad water?"
The video continues.
Stelle began to step forward toward the puppets,
and tried to use the power of the Clockwork.
But when she used this magical power,
she felt a sense of being bound.
She couldn't mobilize the emotions of these puppets at all.
"How is it? Is it going smoothly?"
March 7th watched Stelle fiddle for a long time and couldn't help but ask. "I can't change their emotions..."
Stelle showed a solemn expression.
"Can't change?"
"What does that mean..."
March 7th was somewhat surprised.
"Please forgive my rudeness."
"Forgot to tell you all, only this last play—is already written."
Sunday's voice suddenly appeared, explaining to the three.
Stelle: "Damn, I've been busy for nothing here, and you tell me this is a finished plot?"
Stelle: "Are you playing with a monkey?"
March 7th: "Pfft, let you be proud, now you've been played, right?"
Himeko: "Already written plot..."
Himeko: "It seems Mr. Sunday had already decided how the future of Penacony should go."
Himeko: "Is it just a bit arbitrary?"
Sunday: "These are all unavoidable details."
Sunday: "I can only try my best to make it perfect."
Dan Heng: "But this is just perfection in your heart, nothing more."
Sunday: "..."
The video continues.
"Let our past king tell you all."
"Now, it's time to start the final ceremony."
As soon as Sunday finished speaking, the puppet made a sound again.
"Get ready to fight, it seems we're going to fight again."
After the puppet finished speaking, Himeko took a stance, ready to fight.
March 7th: "Sure enough, I knew it, still can't avoid fighting!"
March 7th: "No, I mean, acting is acting, is it necessary to use real swords and guns?"
March 7th: "Aren't you afraid of beating the audience to death?"
Stelle: "If you push me, I'll just lie on the ground, and if Sunday doesn't compensate me for half of the Oak Family's property, it won't be over!"
Hu Tao: "Hehe, I actually think such a play has business opportunities."
Hu Tao: "If there really were such a theater in reality, I'm afraid I could open a branch next door."
Hu Tao: "Business would definitely be very good!"
Guinaifen: "Watching a play might lead to life or death, so you have to buy a coffin in advance."
Guinaifen: "Oh my god, what kind of thriller performance play is this?"
Miss Qingque: "This isn't a thriller, this is life-threatening!"
Miss Qingque: "To be fair, the strength of these puppets is not weak."
Miss Qingque: "If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would be hammered to death by these puppets in two or three moves."
Sunday: "Everyone, don't panic."
Sunday: "This is essentially still in the dream world."
Sunday: "Naturally, there won't be any real life danger."
Sunday: "I did this to add some immersive feeling for the three of you from the Express."
Stelle: "Well, this immersive feeling is getting beaten up, the feeling of pain is indeed very immersive."
Stelle: "It's quite good, don't do it next time."
The video continues.
After Himeko finished speaking,
the puppet had already attacked.
The three hurriedly fought with it.
"I fall slowly toward the future from the infinitely extending spiral staircase."
"Do not remember me forever, or try to find me."
"The outline in my heart will surely intersect with other experiences."
The puppet named King,
said high-spiritedly.
Stelle and the three had no time to care about the puppet's words,
and continued to increase the intensity of their attacks.
And after a moment,
the puppet retreated as usual.
"I leave behind traces that are hard to detect, walking through a quiet night."
"Do not remember me forever, or reminisce about the soul of the dream."
"What belongs to me will surely decline, and you will transcend its weakness."
Stelle: "This puppet's words are really hard to understand."
Stelle: "Do you have any clues?"
March 7th: "Can't quite understand."
March 7th: "Could it be that watching these three plays has academic requirements?"
Miss Qingque: "Other people's performances are all about being appreciated by both refined and popular tastes."
Miss Qingque: "Director Sunday's plays are all about being as profound as possible!"
Boothill: "Damn it all, watching a broken play requires so much effort to understand."
Boothill: "I say buddy, can't you be a bit more down-to-earth?"
Furina: "It's okay..."
Furina: "Although there are many lines that are hard to understand."
Furina: "But the general meaning can still be understood."
Hu Tao: "This last act is about driving away the king."
Hu Tao: "This king refers to the current Harmony, right?"
Lumine: "Should be."
Lumine: "Penacony doesn't have any other kings now."
The video continues.
"This is the last act, it's much easier to understand than the previous stories..."
"He wants to drive away Harmony and establish an empire of Order."
"Let's go. After the pre-act play ends... it should be the main event of the Harmony Ceremony."
Himeko pondered for a while,
and took the two toward the venue of the real Harmony Ceremony.
Stelle: "Three acts are finished, is it time to face life and death next?"
Stelle: "What big thing did Sunday hide for us?"
Stelle: "I'm looking forward to it!"
March 7th: "Uh... aren't you worried at all?"
March 7th: "In the current situation, what if Sunday comes up with something tricky."
March 7th: "Just the three of us, I'm afraid we'll die miserably!"
Stelle: "Don't panic, I just like playing high-risk games!"
Stelle: "That's the only way I have the possibility of exploding!"
Miss Qingque: "Exploding?"
Miss Qingque: "Just don't explode yourself..."
Welt: "I have a premonition that the road ahead is full of crises."
Welt: "What a worrying scene."
Himeko: "Even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair... but we've already come this far, no matter what, we have to break through!"
March 7th: "Hmm... may the three Nameless seniors bless us, we must win!"
The video continues.
1 system hour until the opening of the Harmony Ceremony.
Himeko took the two through the picture frame,
and finally arrived at the real Grand Theater!
"He gave meaning to everyone in the world, and all things in heaven and earth were created."
"He rested from all the work of creation."
"However, all living beings called out to the Primordial One again: You defined the masses with Order, but made us know that we are nothing but your puppets!"
"So on that day, the masses gathered with one heart and threw the god into the pit of destruction."
Hu Tao: "So the essence of Order is not creating all things, but manipulating all things, right?"
Venti: "Letting everything in the world follow the rules He set, isn't that manipulation?"
Zhongli: "This story tells us that even the Aeon of Order has no right to impose the so-called definition of Order on all living things."
Stelle: "I think, it's not a question of whether He has the right."
Stelle: "But that there are too many Aeons in this world."
Stelle: "If there were only one Aeon of Order in the universe, then He could do whatever He wanted."
Stelle: "But in the universe, besides Order, there are many other Aeons."
Stelle: "Of course, they couldn't tolerate Order messing with the rules of the universe here."
The video continues.
"The Grand Theater has completely changed... is this the power of Order?"
Looking at the suddenly magnificent Grand Theater,
March 7th couldn't help but exclaim.
"Everyone, get ready."
"We might have to face a fierce battle."
Himeko's expression became increasingly solemn.
This scene made her feel an unprecedented crisis!
The three walked down the steps,
and began to walk cautiously toward the center of the stage.
"This is the seventh day."
"The cheers and praises sounded in unison—"
The narration continued,
the three walked on the red carpet leading to the center of the stage,
and dense text appeared on both sides.
There were even grand hymns,
resounding in the ears of the three.
Guinaifen: "Supreme merit praises the God Lord... the stars shine together, universal harmony?"
Guinaifen: "These words that suddenly popped out, are they praising Harmony?"
Miss Sushang: "There's another sentence after these words."
Miss Sushang: "Order is dead!"
Furina: "Order dies, Harmony takes its place."
Furina: "Is this the story of the seventh day?"
Stelle: "Suddenly a bit curious."
Stelle: "How long does a 'day' in here represent?"
March 7th: "Don't know, anyway it's very long."
The video continues.
"Look! He's right there!"
After arriving at the center of the stage,
March 7th saw Sunday standing there.
