【Sunday looked at the Dreammaster and said, "Sir, I have one last question."】

【"Why did you choose to let 【Order】 descend upon Penacony? A world at a dead end should have been a higher choice, yet you still chose such a city of dreams where people hold freedom in their hearts. Why?"】

【The Dreammaster said calmly, "For the sake of fairness, child."】

【"If we lose the justice in our hearts, we will repeat the mistakes of 【Harmony】."】

【Sunday realized suddenly, "So, the person using the Stellaron to manipulate the dream really isn't you, but—"】

【The Dreammaster did not wait for Sunday to finish his sentence, saying directly, "We have said enough. Do it. The 107,336 souls of the Oak Family have dreamed of this moment too many times..."】

【Sunday turned silently and slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, a slight sound of something landing echoed behind him. Sunday looked back and saw that the Dreammaster's purple raven body was already silent.】

【Sighing silently, Sunday had already turned around, chanting an ancient ballad: "【I shall fly into the high sky and become the sun in the heavens.】"】

【" 【The masses shall grow fervently in my light, and all evil shall have nowhere to hide.】"】

【Behind Sunday, countless purple ravens lost their lives in silence, leaving Sunday standing alone quietly.】

Livestream chat.

"My god, what is going on?"

"The Dreammaster is dead?!"

"This... is a bit confusing. Did I miss some plot? No way."

"And who is the person behind the scenes using the Stellaron to manipulate the dream? It's not Sunday, it's not the Dreammaster. Could there be another mastermind?"

"Saying only half of what you mean makes me feel so uncomfortable."

"Could it be that the Dreammaster sacrificed himself so that Sunday could summon the 【Chorus of the Beyond】?"

"Maybe it's not just the Dreammaster; all 107,336 people of the Oak Family are like that."

"Sigh~ I feel like there are still too many things I don't understand."

"If the person manipulating the Stellaron behind the scenes isn't the Dreammaster or Sunday, could there be a plot twist later?"

"A twist? Everyone who has appeared is already out in the open. Surely the mastermind wouldn't be hiding among those crowds."

"Who can say for sure? Don't jump to conclusions until the very end."

"But this 【Dreammaster】 feels like he died too suddenly. At first, I thought the Dreammaster would be the final boss of Penacony."

"Who didn't? This feeling is like preparing yourself to face the strongest demon king, only to find out that the person was just an important turning point character."

"Now it seems the real big boss of Penacony is actually Mr. Sunday, who faced everyone with a gentle and elegant demeanor the moment he arrived in Penacony."

【In the game's plot, Himeko, Stelle, and March 7th also arrived at the Penacony Grand Theater.】

【Sunday used three pre-curtain plays to reveal the history of Penacony from a unique perspective to the three of them.】

【It seems that even now, Sunday is still unwilling to resort to force against the Astral Express crew, but is trying his best to persuade them.】

【In the first two plays, Sunday used his own way to introduce Penacony's past, from a frontier prison gradually moving toward a place of exile, and then from a place of exile to the Planet of Festivities.】

【And by the third play, those puppets in the game that looked like marionettes, even those on whom the Clockwork trick could not take effect, seemed to be explaining that the consequence of using Order is to become such a puppet.】

Where the Astral Express crew is.

March 7th looked at the final third pre-curtain play and said speechlessly, "Is this 【Order】? It feels more like domination than order."

Hearing the word "domination," Welt Yang's expression changed, gradually becoming solemn.

Indeed, looking at those under Order, all their actions and thoughts had completely disappeared, and they had become puppets.

Originally, he thought the Ode to Order in the third act was a chapter praising order, but Welt Yang felt it was more like a satire.

If people under Order are all in such a state, what is the meaning of such an existence?

【In the game, when the pre-curtain play ended, the game officially entered a cutscene. In the Penacony Grand Theater, a red carpet extended from the central stage, as if it were a magnificent passage prepared for the Astral Express crew.】

【At this time, there was only 1 system hour left until the Charmony Festival.】

【Looking at the Astral Express crew who had arrived at the stage, Sunday chanted softly, "【He】 bestowed 【meaning】 upon all people in the world, and all things in heaven and earth were created. He rested from all the work of creation."】

【"【However, all living beings cried out to the Prime One: (You define all people with Order, yet you let us know that we are nothing but your puppets!)】"】

【"【Therefore, on that day, the masses gathered as one and cast the god into the pit of destruction.】"】

【March 7th looked at the bright Penacony Grand Theater and said in shock, "The Grand Theater has completely changed... Is this the power of 【Order】?"】

【Himeko looked at Stelle and March 7th and said sternly, "Everyone, get ready. We may have to face a fierce battle."】

【When Himeko, Stelle, and March 7th walked across the red carpet, Sunday's voice sounded again, only this time his name had become three question marks—】

【"【This is the seventh day】"】

【"【The cheers and chants then rose in unison—】"】

【In an instant, a unified and solemn chant rang out around the red carpet—】

【"Universal Harmony! The stars shine together! Supreme merit to the God Lord!"】

【"Order is dead!"】
