Chapter 378: Firefly's Three Deaths! Moths to the Flame, Born to Die!

【Firefly also states the current situation everyone must face: "But this is the same for 'Order.' Their plan is not a matter of a day or two. Behind it is the massive consciousness that the 'Star of Celebration' has nurtured for hundreds of years—"】

【"The desire to enter the dream, the laziness to sleep, as well as avoidance, giving up... the emotions invisibly catalyzed by people have become the cradle for the birth of 'Order's' sweet dream."】

【"Using the will of a world to push for the birth of an Aeon... This duel is by no means a simple clash of power. For the future of Penacony, it cannot just be you fighting on the stage."】

【March 7th listens to Firefly's words and asks curiously, "You? What do you mean? Are you not going with us anymore?"】

【Himeko looks at Firefly's eyes, understands what she means, and says, "I think Miss Firefly means she is going to another battlefield."】

The livestream room.

"Ah, is Miss Firefly going to split up?"】

"I thought Miss Firefly would go to the final battle with everyone on the Astral Express?"】

"Me too. But Miss Firefly should also be going to do serious business. After all, listening to Miss Firefly, this 'Order' dream gathers the weak side of human nature. To face Sunday, one must simultaneously face those who are immersed in the dream of 'Order'."】

"Sigh~ To be honest, if it were me, I might not be able to resist the attraction of the sweet dream."】

"After all, giving up is easier than persisting, and reality is too heavy and cruel for most people."】

"I'm not a very strong person, but after seeing the 'Clockmaker's' life, if I were allowed to choose, I might reject this fake sweet dream. Even if my own future is riddled with holes, I have to walk to the end myself."】

"Regardless, being able to think this way, I think the 'Clockmaker' would be very happy if he knew."】

【Listening to Himeko's words, Firefly nods and says, "... Before setting off, 'Elio' told me that this trip would bring me unforgettable gains. The script he gave only had a few lines, but it was hard to ignore."】

【Firefly's expression suddenly becomes heavy, saying, "Because one of the lines says... I will experience three 'deaths' in the land of dreams."】

【March 7th covers her mouth and says in shock and worry, "Three deaths?! This must be in quotation marks..."】

【Firefly lowers her gaze and says, "The first time was pain like death. My body was pierced by the wing blades of 'Sleep,' which led to all the stories that followed. The script will definitely be fulfilled, but the form... will only be revealed when that page is turned."】

【"So now, I have understood the meaning of the second 'death' and am going to put it into action. If everything goes smoothly, this will provide crucial support for you."】

【"Only by winning this victory can Penacony have a future. Only in this way will the third, and final, death that has yet to come... not be presented in the worst possible way."】

【March 7th says in a low, worried voice, "The worst possible way, isn't that..."】

【Himeko says in a deep voice, "True 'death'... everyone in Penacony will sink forever in the sweet dream of 'Order'."】

【Firefly also says in a deep voice, "That is a future we must avoid at all costs."】

Xianzhou Luo Fu.

In a teahouse where players gather.

"So, Miss Firefly still has to experience two more 'deaths'?"】

"My god, this 'script' is too ruthless."】

"Speaking of which, there is no true death in the dream. I imagine Miss Firefly shouldn't have any problems, right?"】

"Who can guarantee that? Who knows what situation the next death will present."】

"Sigh~ Poor Miss Firefly, how did she encounter such a thing? It's too heartbreaking."】

"Miss Firefly must be okay."】

"My god, just after experiencing Mikhail's matter, are we going to lose Miss Firefly again? I don't want that kind of thing."】

"Shut up, Miss Firefly will definitely be fine."】

【Looking at Firefly's determined expression, Himeko says solemnly, "Miss Firefly, have you... made up your mind?"】

【Firefly's eyes carry an unshakable determination, "Hmm. If not, I wouldn't have come here."】

【Himeko says solemnly, "Thank you again for the help you provided to the Astral Express. I wish for us to meet again in reality."】

【Firefly's gaze sweeps over March 7th, Stelle, and Himeko, and she says firmly, "Hmm, goodbye, everyone. May your 'Trailblaze' journey—never end."】

【At this moment, a cutscene begins, and the ceiling slowly opens an exit, revealing a passage.】

【And Firefly has also left the high platform from before, watching the backs of the Astral Express group.】

【As Himeko, March 7th, and Stelle are taken to the passage above by the device under their feet, Firefly also withdraws her gaze and turns slowly, taking out the transformation device for the SAM mecha.】

【The variation that saves a heart from sorrow plays at the right time, like a war song, bringing courage and expectation to the upcoming decisive battle.】

【Vaguely, the poem Firefly once recited in the secret base sounds again—】

【"I dream of a scorched earth, a new bud breaking through the soil."】

【"It blooms towards the morning sun, whispering to me..."】

【In the firelight, the SAM mecha gradually covers Firefly's body.】

【"Moths to the flame, born to die."】 ===== CHAPTER 379 =====
