Chapter 259

The video continued.

Topaz tossed the dice,

and began to call upon the power of the Cornerstone!

【I'll place my bet!】

【I'll gamble!】

【I'll win!】

【I let fate spin the wheel, betting it all, walking through death to find life.】

【Everything is dedicated to — the Amber Lord!】

Stelle: "Holy crap!"

Stelle: "He can transform too?!"

Stelle: "So this is the power of the Cornerstone?!"

Stelle: "You pull off such a cool move?!"

March 7th: "So.... so gorgeous!!"

March 7th: "Suddenly... I really want a Cornerstone too!"

Furina: "Quick, quick, quick, Topaz just dropped another god-tier line!!"

Furina: "I have to jot this down in my notebook right now!!"

Furina: "It might come in handy for a stage play someday!"

Welt: "Even though it's only a fragmentary Cornerstone, it still grants Topaz such tremendous power."

Welt: "The might of Preservation is truly astonishing!"

Silver Wolf: "Transform and recite lines too?"

Silver Wolf: "You guys really know how to show off."

Silver Wolf: "By the way, doesn't Sam have this habit too?"

Silver Wolf: "Is it also for the sake of showing off?"

Firefly: "......"

Silver Wolf: "Hmm..... looks like I need to think up some lines of my own too!"

Silver Wolf: "But.... I don't seem to be able to transform, do I?"

Stelle: "I just thought of a question."

Stelle: "Since Topaz can transform using the Cornerstone's energy..."

Stelle: "Then couldn't Topaz do it too?"

Stelle: "Hehehe, Topaz, can you transform for me to see?"

Topaz: "Ahahaha, this.... there's no need, is there?"

March 7th: "Stelle's right!"

March 7th: "I suddenly really want to see how Young Lady Topaz transforms too!"

Stelle: "When we were in Belobog, we had the chance to see it."

Stelle: "What a pity, Bronya came too fast, and we missed that golden opportunity!!"

Stelle: "Bronya, it would've been great if you'd arrived a little later."

Bronya: "Uh...."

Topaz: "Ahem, there's nothing worth seeing here."

Topaz: "The power of the Cornerstone — as long as we can avoid using it, we generally don't!"

Silver Wolf: "If you don't want to transform, then how about a line at least?"

Silver Wolf: "Topaz has lines, don't tell me you don't."

Stelle: "Silver Wolf's right!"

Stelle: "Give us a line, let me hear if it's more resounding than Topaz's!"

Topaz: "N-no... I don't have any lines either!!"

Topaz: "That flashy show-off Topaz, I can't compare with him!"

Topaz: "I say, my dear colleague, even if you don't want to say anything, there's no need to call me a flashy show-off."

Topaz: "It's just a word of conviction, where's the flashy show-off in that?"

Dr. Ratio: "If this doesn't count as flashy show-off, then nothing can be called flashy show-off."

The video continued.

【Come, let's see who can have the last laugh — the game begins!】

Topaz borrowed the power of the Cornerstone to transform into Eerie Topaz,

and began to engage everyone in combat.

【Even in adversity, as long as a person still has hope, they will surely call....】

【The possibilities within you are worth my all-out gamble....!】

The Trailblazer and Topaz clashed fiercely,

while Huang Quan provided support from the side,

not directly joining the battle.

【Hmph, everyone is like this....】

【Why — can't they live a little more freely?】

【Slow-playing a strong hand, putting on airs....】

"You've made me a little impatient."

"Hahahaha...."

Seeing that Huang Quan had never truly made a move,

Topaz directly forced everyone back,

and began preparing a big technique,

to force Huang Quan to act!

"For the sake of enjoyment, everyone."

"—I'll stake all my chips."

"Only by casting aside reason is the true gamble...."

In a flash, Topaz flew high into the sky,

and tossed a chip from his hand toward the heavens.

At once, the sky turned a golden yellow,

and an endless rain of chips slowly began to appear!

"Emanator—you'll definitely call my bet."

"Right?"

Stelle: "Damn, that's badass!"

Stelle: "This sky-full rain of chips—if it really came crashing down, it'd probably smash all the buildings below to pieces, right?"

Stelle: "Dammit, why don't I have such a flashy move?"

March 7th: "Because you're not as strong as him."

Furina: "Speaking of which, Topaz saw that Young Lady Huang Quan kept not making a move, so he got impatient waiting?"

Furina: "He wants Young Lady Huang Quan to hurry up and kill him?"

Welt: "That was Topaz's true goal all along."

Welt: "As long as he dies in public, it naturally proves that the impossible things in the beautiful dream promised by the family are false."

Welt: "And through this, dig out a deeper truth."

Hu Tao: "But does it have to be by Young Lady Huang Quan's hand?"

Hu Tao: "Isn't there any other way to seek death?"

Dr. Ratio: "To achieve the impossible in the dream, one method is to die through a Memory Zone meme."

Dr. Ratio: "But that Memory Zone meme is currently in the family's locked dreamscape, and is clearly hard to find."

Dr. Ratio: "Topaz's time doesn't allow him to do that."

Dr. Ratio: "So ruling out the first method, only this one Emanator, Huang Quan, has the ability to let him die within the dream!"
