Chapter 79

Stelle: "The name sounds interesting?"

Stelle: "Which one is stronger, the Star-Crushing King Insect?"

Paimon: "Oh my, Miss Stelle, don't listen to Itto's nonsense!"

Paimon: "The Onikabuto he talks about is just an ordinary bug with horns on its head!"

Paimon: "Barely the size of a palm, falls with one pat, not as powerful as he brags at all."

Lumine: "Mm-hmm, Itto is bragging a bit too much."

Kuki Shinobu: "Boss! Is your mouth starting to lose control again?"

Kuki Shinobu: "If you do this again, you don't have to speak!"

Arataki Itto: "Don't, don't, don't! Shinobu, I was wrong! I won't brag anymore!"

Arataki Itto: "But..... what the hell is this Star-Crushing King Insect?"

Arataki Itto: "Sounds like it gives people a very domineering and invincible feeling?"

Ruan Mei: "Skaracabaz, the Star-Crushing King Insect, Emanator of Propagation. The power it possesses can easily crush stars."

Furina: "What?!!"

Furina: "What kind of bug is this, it's actually an Emanator?!"

Arataki Itto: "......"

Arataki Itto: "Did I hear it wrong?!"

Arataki Itto: "Is this Star-Crushing King Insect really that powerful?!"

Arataki Itto: "How can there be such a powerful bug in the world?!"

Arataki Itto: "Ahhh! I can't believe it!"

Zhong Li: "It sounds very unreasonable at first, but based on general rationality, the scale of the universe is vast and boundless, and bugs are not necessarily weak."

Stelle: "This Mr. Zhong Li is very right!"

Stelle: "In the universe, there was even a super big disaster called the Swarm Disaster!"

Stelle: "At that time, more than half of the universe was almost eaten by bugs!"

Amber: "Eaten... eaten by bugs?!"

Amber: "This is too scary, right?!"

Herta: "Those are not ordinary bugs, they are all offspring of Propagation."

Shenhe: "So to speak..... this Propagation.... Aeon?"

Shenhe: "Is also a bug?"

Stelle: "That's right, the Aeon of Propagation was turned into by a bug, and everyone affectionately calls Him, the Bug Emperor!"

Arataki Itto: "My God!!!"

Arataki Itto: "Bugs can actually become Aeons!!"

Arataki Itto: "I'm about to go crazy!!"

Lumine: ".....The universe is too absurd."

Lumine: "I didn't expect that if we went to the universe, there would be a high possibility of being eaten by bugs directly!"

Paimon: "Woooo, Paimon is suddenly afraid to go to the universe."

Stelle: "Don't be afraid, I've even fought the Star-Crushing King Insect, mere bugs are no match for me!"

Dr. Ratio: "Heh, Miss, I have to remind you, that was just a failed replica."

Dr. Ratio: "If the real Emanator of Propagation was reborn, you would have been swallowed into its belly long ago."

March 7th: "Stelle, stop bragging!"

Stelle: "What do you mean I'm bragging?"

Stelle: "If I can't beat an Emanator-level bug, can't I beat an ordinary bug?"

Stelle: "You don't know, in the Simulated Universe, I killed so many bugs that I wanted to vomit!!!"

Herta: "Friendly reminder, no matter how powerful you are in the Simulated Universe, it's all fake!"

Silver Wolf: "But no matter how weak you are in reality, it's all real!"

Stelle: "......."

The video continues.

Aventurine successfully puts the puzzle together,

unlocks the restrictions of the mechanism,

and successfully opens the sealed door.

[It's a pity to see you leave the sand table alive, Sunday is right behind this door.]

[Based on my shallow understanding, he is not someone easy to deal with, are you ready?]

Dr. Ratio watches Aventurine come out of the sand table,

comes to him,

and reminds him coldly.

Dehya: "It's... a pity?"

Dehya: "Hahaha, the way they communicate, those who don't know would think they are enemies!"

Stelle: "Laughing to death, Dr. Ratio's disappointed little expression, really makes my stomach ache from laughing."

Aventurine: "Professor.... is that necessary?"

Aventurine: "No matter what, we are partners, you cursing me like this won't do you any good!"

Dr. Ratio: "I express regret for being your partner......"

Boothill: "What the hell is this dog-eat-dog situation?"

Boothill: "Is your IPC here to be funny?"

The video continues.

[Hmm, I believe it's he who should be prepared 0 ......]

Aventurine nods,

appearing very confident.

[Tell me your plan.]

Dr. Ratio thinks Aventurine might have planned it long ago,

which is why he is not panicked.

[No plan, just play it by ear.]

[The chips for negotiating with people are nothing more than two: interest or fear.]

Aventurine shakes his head,

indicating that he has no plan at all,

just biting the bullet and rushing forward.

[It seems you really don't understand sincerity.]

Dr. Ratio is noncommittal about this answer.

[Am I not sincere enough?]

[No need to emphasize it specifically.]

[We must make good use of death, that man's sister is dead, he definitely won't be able to sit still, this is fear.]

[And I will help him ferret out the murderer.]

[Due to identity and stance, he can't do this himself, but I can, this is interest.]

Aventurine explains to Dr. Ratio with reason and evidence.

[Why do you think he can't do it, and has to entrust an IPC person with an opposing stance?]

Dr. Ratio asks back.

[Very simple — because the murderer is likely a "traitor" lurking in the Family.]

Aventurine smiles.

[......]

[The one you accused before was that Galaxy Ranger.]

Dr. Ratio is silent for a while, then says.

[That was just an excuse, Professor.]

[Due to his status and position, he can't do this himself, but I can. That is profit.]

[I also need to know who she is. If my good luck is genuine,]

[she will surely become an important pawn.]

[And in this matter, the more "friends" who can help me, the better.]

[But in all honesty, the murder case likely has nothing to do with her. I still hold that view...]

[Something must have gone wrong within the Family.]

[Otherwise, why would our Mr. Sunday arrange a private meeting?]

[This isn't an interrogation, but a secret negotiation.]

[Just watch. With Robin's death as a bargaining chip, I will win back my freedom and power.]

[In the end, I will overturn this beautiful dream and create the grandest death.]

[If stepping through this door brings a chance for triumph, even if the probability is infinitely close to zero, I have no reason to hesitate, do I?]

The corner of Aventurine's mouth

gradually reveals a hint of a crazy smile.

[Why do you think you can win, you damned gambler?]

Dr. Ratio really dislikes Aventurine's face.

[Three chips are enough.]

[All or nothing.]

March 7th: "I was wondering why Aventurine's previous accusations against Miss Acheron were so bizarre."

March 7th: "Turns out it was just a smoke screen he threw out on purpose!"

Stelle: "Mr. Yang really guessed it right; Aventurine's plan from the start was to muddy the waters."

Arlecchino: "Using others to keep uncertain factors in check while stepping aside to handle other matters."

Arlecchino: "Mr. Aventurine's approach is very shrewd."

Himeko: "As expected, none of the IPC's P45 elites are simple."

Sister Yukong: "You must be cautious when dealing with the IPC, or you'll fall into their traps before you know it."

Sister Yukong: "Once you're in, it won't be so simple to get out."

Furina: "Looking at Aventurine's confident appearance, hasn't he already got the Family in his pocket?"

Furina: "It's just... I can understand Aventurine wanting to overturn the beautiful dream."

Furina: "After all, he came here with the intention of causing trouble."

Furina: "But what does 'creating the grandest death' mean?"

Paimon: "C-could Aventurine actually be a murderous demon?!"

Paimon: "Does he want to kill everyone in the dream to liven things up?!"

Eula: "It doesn't feel impossible!"

Eula: "Look at the expression on his face right now; he looks just like a madman!"

Hu Tao: "Oh no, oh no, Aventurine has stopped pretending again and is about to become the big villain boss!"

Hu Tao: "It feels like the next part is going to be his home turf!"

Collei: "And then Miss Stelle and the righteous side will go to stop Aventurine from doing bad things..."

Collei: "Um... that's how it's written in storybooks."

Ganyu: "Are you all not worried about Mr. Sunday?"

Ganyu: "I have a feeling he's going to be manipulated by Mr. Aventurine next..."

Dr. Ratio: "I don't think so."

Dr. Ratio: "As the head of the Oak Family, Sunday's methods will only be stronger than this gambler's!"

Dr. Ratio: "In this confrontation, Aventurine has been the passive party from the start!"

Dr. Ratio: "Otherwise... it wouldn't be Aventurine going to see Sunday, but the other way around."

Aventurine: "I say, Professor, can't you have a little faith in me?"

Dr. Ratio: "I'm just stating the facts."
