Chapter 487

~6 min read 1,078 words

【Two deaths have prompted you to investigate the truth behind the Sweetdream Paradise.】

【You tried to start from the information on the two of them, but couldn't find a lead; instead, you learned from Gallagher about the watchmaker.】

【Meanwhile, Aventurine was also secretly preparing his own plan, and he chose you as the driving force behind it.】

【Miss Huang Quan drew her blade in the fierce battle, forced to reveal her identity as a Nihility envoy.】

【This strike not only knocked Aventurine down, but also tore open a passage between the Sweetdream Paradise and the primordial Mneme.】

【You arrived at Penacony's Dreamscape Reef, learned that death was actually slumber, and further learned the truth about the dreamscape, the Stellaron, and even the doorman Little Misha.】

【You, Sunday, and Robin decided to split up to find a way to seal the Stellaron.】

【Who could have expected that Sunday and the Dreammaster had long harbored other schemes — in the end, you had no choice but to fight for your lives on the stage of the Harmony Festival.】

【Finally, the story has reached its finale.】

【You defeated him; Entropy prevailed over Order, and Penacony was able to greet a future of light and peace.....】

【At this point, the dreamlike, tumultuous journey through Penacony has come to an end.】

【You must have already noticed something, haven't you?】

Stelle: "After hearing Black Swan's recap, I suddenly realized — we actually went through so many things in Penacony?"

March 7th: "This whole chain of events sounds dizzying just hearing about it."

March 7th: "I wonder how it feels for you, the one who experienced the whole thing firsthand."

Miss Sushang: "By the way, what exactly was that scene Stelle encountered at the very beginning?"

Furina: "You mean the scene where, during the warp, Miss Stelle inexplicably entered the dreamscape and then ran into Miss Huang Quan?"

Furina: "I remember, Miss Huang Quan seemed to ask Miss Stelle then — 'Have we met somewhere before?'"

Hu Tao: "She asked more than just that......."

Hu Tao: "Back then, Miss Huang Quan asked several more questions."

Hu Tao: "And one of them was: if there were a vast dreamscape, so lifelike that it was indistinguishable from reality."

Hu Tao: "Where there is no parting by life or death, where everyone can reap the fulfillment and happiness they deserve, and live forever in joy."

Hu Tao: "Tell me, would you be willing to dwell within it?"

Guinaifen: "Oh my!!"

Guinaifen: "Stop, please — my scalp is starting to tingle!"

Guinaifen: "Don't tell me Stelle was actually trapped in a dream from the very beginning?!"

Stelle: "Ridiculous, way too ridiculous."

Stelle: "My brain is already starting to spin."

Stelle: "Reality or dream.... I can't tell, I really can't tell!!"

Lumine: "Since Miss Huang Quan asked that from the start, does it mean that she had already gone through these things back then?"

Lumine: "But if that's the case... the timeline doesn't add up?"

Paimon: "So twisty, so bizarre — as expected, with Paimon's little brain, I still can't understand something this complicated."

The video continues.

【That fatal flaw, which completely contradicts all known information, appears in this part of the story —】

Black Swan offered a reminder,

and began to have Stelle analyze exactly where the flaw lay.

【Being attacked by Sparkle, who had disguised herself as Sampo.....】

Stelle's mind was a little dazed,

and she began to voice each possible thought.

【Sparkle, oh Sparkle — the most elusive, mysterious figure in the entire story.】

【Unfortunately, it's true that she figured out the answer first, and it's also true that she attacked you on purpose to muddy the waters.】

【Oh right. Before she left, she asked me to pass along a message to you: be sure to distinguish the boundary between reality and imagination.......】

【You ask whether this is a hint? I don't know — I can only say that the fatal flaw has nothing to do with this Fool.】

Stelle: "Be sure to distinguish the boundary between reality and imagination?"

Stelle: "You mean.... everything I'm experiencing right now is just my imagination?!"

Stelle: "Sweetdream Paradise.... where everyone gets the life they want."

Stelle: "Damn!"

Stelle: "So that's how it is — I've finally seen the light!"

Stelle: "Thanks for the hint, Director Sparkle!"

Stelle: "Sunday, oh Sunday — I never thought you'd actually cooked up a Sweetdream Paradise like this."

March 7th: "No wonder the ending was unrealistically perfect — turns out it's just a Sweetdream you yourself fantasized up?"

March 7th: "So everything we're seeing now is just your Sweetdream Paradise?"

Lumine: "Making people unknowingly fall into their own fantasized Sweetdream and live within it."

Lumine: "And then unable to wake up...."

Lumine: "Suddenly it feels really creepy."

Furina: "Did Miss Sparkle actually understand all of this long ago?"

Furina: "She even knew Sunday's purpose — isn't that way too ridiculous?"

Furina: "Could it be that Miss Sparkle has the ability to foresee the future?"

Sparkle: "Hehe, the great Sparkle's abilities are boundless!"

Sparkle: "There's nothing I don't know~"

Himeko: "Such a dreamscape — it doesn't feel like something we couldn't wake from."

Himeko: "As long as you can realize all of this is false, and back it with an indomitable will."

Stelle: "The logic checks out, but putting it into practice is no simple matter."

Stelle: "Think about it — if that last stretch of plot hadn't been so absurd, so ridiculous it was hard to believe,"

Stelle: "I never would have noticed anything off about it at all."

March 7th: "The Company turning into a generous old goody-two-shoes, the Genius Club suddenly getting down to earth and researching mortal stuff…"

March 7th: "Honestly, this really couldn't get any more absurd."

March 7th: "The boundary between imagination and reality… you can already tell them apart starting from here."

The video continued.

【So that was Huang Quan drawing her blade to reveal the power of Nihility…?】

Stelle ventured tentatively.

【Are you trying to say that the Sleeper, who gazes upon no one, therefore no one could possibly claim the Nihility's authority?】

【That's a sharp point, but unfortunately—】

【Ironically enough, Huang Quan really is walking further and further down the Path of Nihility.】

【All because her conviction to save the world from the shackles of destiny is beyond what any ordinary person could reach.】

【Let me strike that wrong answer for you.】

【Put on your thinking cap and look again — what exactly is that fatal flaw?】
