Chapter 490

Hu Tao: "Is this really possible?!"

Hu Tao: "Unbelievable!"

Miss Qingque: "Huh? I remember someone said something like this?"

Miss Qingque: "What is impossible in a dream is not death, but slumber?"

Miss Qingque: "But now, this impossibility has also become possible?"

Asta: "Slumbering within a dream.... Just thinking about it is terrifying."

Asta: "If you fall asleep inside a dream, how are you supposed to wake up?"

Himeko: "With powerful willpower."

Himeko: "And that is something only very few people are destined to be able to do......"

The video continues.

【Over here, dear.】

Black Swan's voice came from outside the room.

Stelle began walking out of the room.

【Another one......】

【That's wonderful.】

【Eternally grateful, Miss Black Swan.】

After Stelle walked out,

she heard Huang Quan's voice.

【Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.】

Black Swan showed a relaxed expression.

【This scene feels oddly familiar......】

Stelle looked at the two of them,

and at the faintly familiar surroundings,

feeling deeply confused.

【I know you're completely lost right now, and we'll do our best to explain it to you.】

【But before we can lay out the whole story from beginning to end, you must understand one thing.......】

【This place is the narrow gap between the dreamscape and reality, belonging to those who have awakened from the dream of Taichi.】

Stelle: "Taichi's... dream??"

Stelle: "Good lord, they even named it after the Aeon of Order."

Stelle: "Don't tell me Sunday actually resurrected Order?"

March 7th: "Oh my god, no way?"

March 7th: "It's actually a god's dreamscape — how are we supposed to get out of this?!"

Himeko: "There's no need to panic."

Himeko: "Do you remember?"

Himeko: "Sunday said he wasn't trying to resurrect any Aeon."

Himeko: "What he intends to do is create a world without Aeons."

Himeko: "So he won't directly resurrect the Aeon of Order."

March 7th: "Phew.... that's a relief!"

March 7th: "If an Aeon really got resurrected, we'd better just lie down and accept it....."

March 7th: "After all, no matter how amazing we are, there's no way we could beat an Aeon, right?"

Stelle: "Hah, watch me go all-out against an Aeon!"

Stelle: "Give Him a good, thorough tickle!"

Hu Tao: "Ha, you can't just go all-out like that."

The video continues.

【Do you still remember Sunday's ambition?】

【He planned to use the Stellaron, the will of over a hundred thousand members of the Oak family, and the wishes of all living beings in Penacony to usurp the authority of Harmony and bring Order back into the world.】

Black Swan spoke softly,

laying out the sequence of events for Stelle once more.

【Unfortunately, the truth goes further than that.】

【Long before we ever entered Asdena, we had already been affected by the Stellaron.】

【Thinking back on it now, that strange dreamscape where you and I met may well have been the first sign of our thoughts beginning to drift.】

Furina: "We were already being affected by the Stellaron the moment we entered Asdena??"

Furina: "Is the Stellaron's power that terrifying?"

Furina: "It can affect an entire star system?!"

Stelle: "It can't be that outrageous, can it?"

Stelle: "Most likely, this Stellaron in Penacony was tampered with."

Stelle: "Combined with the unique nature of the Asdena star system."

March 7th: "Asdena is full of mnestic essence everywhere, right? With that mnestic essence, the range the Stellaron can radiate over should noticeably expand too, no?"

March 7th: "So, in a roundabout way, this is still a Stellaron Calamity?"

March 7th: "Well, after all the twists and turns, we still can't avoid getting tangled up with resolving a Stellaron Calamity."

The video continued.

"What you mean is...."

"Did I fall asleep on the train?"

Stelle asked, somewhat startled and doubtful.

"I think... the Order's purpose was not to plunge everyone into slumber."

"On the contrary, they used the Stellaron to catalyze the memoria of Asdena seeping into the material world, so that the dreamscape and reality would merge."

"I'm afraid quite a few memories from the Choir of the Heavens Above were mixed in as well...."

"Over the long stretch of time, dreams became indistinguishable from reality, and reality began to show hallucinations."

"People believed themselves awake, yet their spirits had long since entered the Order's hall."

Stelle: "Holy shit!!!"

Stelle: "I get it now!!"

Stelle: "My vision was too small!"

Stelle: "Sunday, I didn't expect your ambition to be this huge?!!"

March 7th: "You're jumping at shadows, what are you freaking out about?"

March 7th: "What do you get?"

Stelle: "Haven't caught on yet?"

Stelle: "Sunday is planning to turn the entire universe into the dreamscape paradise he keeps talking about!"

Miss Qingque: "Wait.... what is this?!"

Miss Qingque: "Drag the entire universe into the dreamscape??"

Miss Qingque: "Has he lost his mind?!"

March 7th: "Seep into the material world, let the dreamscape and reality merge...."

March 7th: "Uh.... he actually wants to do that?"

March 7th: "The key is, he's already taken the first step!!"

March 7th: "This is too outrageous, isn't it?!"

Seele: "I thought it was just Penacony's family business.... how did this end up trending toward a cosmic catastrophe?"

Furina: "Worthy of Penacony's ultimate villain — that ability has left me utterly speechless."

Paimon: "By the way, what Mr. Sunday is thinking is probably.... as long as the entire universe can be turned into the Dreamscape World."

Paimon: "Then there's no distinction between reality, right?"

Paimon: "Anyway, everyone's in a dream, so the dream is the true reality!"

Dr. Ratio: "Mm.... theoretically speaking, that's correct."
