Chapter 422

Huang Quan: "Although it does sound a bit absurd."

Huang Quan: "But my intuition tells me that the so-called Clock Trick is actually the power of Trailblaze."

Miss Qingque: "Goodness!"

Miss Qingque: "Young Lady Huang Quan's intuition is as accurate as Diviner's calculations."

Miss Qingque: "Since Young Lady Huang Quan has put it that way—"

Miss Qingque: "Could it really be that the Clock Trick is the power of Trailblaze?"

Miss Sushang: "Anyway, I don't really get it, but it sure is impressive..."

Miss Sushang: "Maybe Trailblaze has some special quality we just don't know about."

The video continues.

【What is it?】

【I don't know.】

Clock Boy, faced with Little Misha's question,

could not answer.

【Everyone has moments when they lose their way, hesitating, unsure of which direction to go.】

【It exists in this patch of dreamscape, and in any place beyond the dreamscape.】

【But there's no need to fear. Just as people feel lost, there comes a moment when they make up their minds and take a bold, remarkable decision...】

【Whether calm, joyful, angry, or sorrowful, all they need is a small push—then they can stride forward toward the path that belongs to them.】

【I leave this small power to you, and I hope you will carry it to many more people...】

【This is the Clock Trick—the will named Trailblaze.】

Zhong Li: "The will of Trailblaze... So this is the truth behind the Clock Trick?"

Zhong Li: "Heh, well, well—what a Clock Trick indeed!"

Venti: "Every time I think I've grasped the idea of Trailblaze, the next video makes me realize my understanding is still far too shallow."

Furina: "The Clock Trick is the will of Trailblaze!"

Furina: "Oh my goodness, this gave me goosebumps all over!!"

Furina: "Back then we thought it wasn't so serious a method."

Furina: "But now, I just feel the Clock Trick is truly magnificent!"

Stelle: "As expected—I am the rising new star of Trailblaze!"

Stelle: "That's why Senior Mikhail passed the Clock Trick, condensed from the will of Trailblaze, on to me!"

Firefly: "If that's the case, then the people we used the Clock Trick on before... they were really just... given a little push by us?"

Firefly: "It wasn't that the Clock Trick forcibly changed their emotions..."

Firefly: "Phew... thinking about it that way, I suddenly don't feel guilty at all..."

Silver Wolf: "Impressive, truly impressive!"

Silver Wolf: "This old Nameless actually reached this level of understanding of Trailblaze."

Silver Wolf: "Truly worthy of a legend!"

Welt: "Compared to him, we really are just juniors—both in spirit and in thought."

March 7th: "Enough said—learn from our senior!!"

The video continues.

【The hands of the clock go round and round.】

【Just like a person's confusion, troubles, weakness... endlessly swaying.】

Little Misha took a step,

and under Clock Boy's sorrowful expression,

slowly walked up to the wheelchair,

and sat down.

Then, holding a hat,

he fell into a peaceful sleep.

At the same time,

the scenes began to interweave,

and Stelle's figure

appeared before Mikhail.

She half-squatted down,

took back Mikhail's hat that represented the legacy,

and placed it

onto her own head.

【But in the end, people must still move forward.】

【Just like your hands. Always pointing ahead.】

【My journey ends here.】

【From now on...】

【It's your road.】

The senior's parting words

echoed in Stelle's ears one last time.

Stelle: "We, your juniors, will surely keep your warning etched in our hearts!"

Stelle: "Honor to the legendary unnamed guest, Father of Penacony, the Clockmaker, Mikhail!!!"

March 7th: "Honor!!!"

Brother Dan Heng: "Honor!!!"

Welt: "Honor!!!"

Himeko: "Honor!!!"

Pam: "Honor!!! You guys, you better make it through, Pam! Waaahhh..."

Truth Doctor: "A brilliant star has gone out completely—what a profound feeling."

Truth Doctor: ".... Honor to you!"

Sandgold: "Admirable—honor!"

Furina: "Honor!"

Hu Tao: "Honor!"

Everyone: "Honor +99"

The video continues.

The scene shifts,

returning once more to the grounds where the group faced Sunday.

At this moment, Stelle took out the legacy hat left by Mikhail,

and summoned the Clockwork Boy,

beginning to lead everyone forward.

They would use their resolve,

to answer Sunday!

【What is Exploration? It is to walk farther along the path left unfinished by those who came before....】

【Penacony in Mikhail's dream....】

【It does not belong to Order!!】

After Stelle spoke with firm conviction,

a gaze from a distant time and space,

crossed infinite space,

descended upon them.

Stelle: "What the hell!" 083

Stelle: "What's going on?!"
