Golden light rain fell within the venue without warning.
Under the illumination of the light and shadow, it appeared even more colorful!
The atmosphere team backstage immediately activated the fireworks on the stage.
Fiery trees and silver flowers lit up!
It was as if a grand festival celebration was underway!
The audience erupted in cheers!
"Wow!!!!"
"So beautiful, so beautiful!"
"The atmosphere is amazing!!"
"Definitely giving props to the organizers, they knew to pull this off when the plot reached its climax."
"Wait! Did someone just fly out?"
"Probably a special effect, right?"
"For a moment, I really thought the Resonant Choir was going to descend upon our scene, haha..."
The backstage staff, hearing the cheers from the audience.
Couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He exclaimed, "The people from the second department are really something, setting off a firework rain without giving us a heads-up. It really caught us off guard!"
"Good thing I reacted quickly and pressed the atmosphere switch in time, otherwise this month's bonus would have been completely deducted."
Hearing this, the staff from the second department were stunned!
"I didn't set it off?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, 09? If you didn't set it off, where did this golden light effect come from?"
"It really wasn't me! We prepared streamers and colored flags, definitely not this kind of golden light rain effect!"
"?"
"Then what's going on with this scene!?"
Silence!
An eerie silence!
A few seconds later.
The faces of all the staff suddenly changed dramatically!
It seemed they realized something was about to happen!
On the guest seats.
March 7th was still happily taking photos.
Stelle was there grinning foolishly.
While Himeko, Old Yang, and Dan Heng had already sensed something was wrong!
The light from the fireworks cast a golden hue over their faces.
The confusion and wariness in their pupils were clearly visible!
The next moment.
Strands of golden threads formed!
Interconnecting on the stage.
A massive golden phantom condensed!
Its head almost reaching the ceiling of the venue!
Whether in the front row or the back, all the audience noticed this colossal creation at first glance!
Because it was simply too magnificent!
Occupying the entire field of vision.
It was impossible not to see it!
The entire audience erupted!
Exclamations of admiration rose one after another!
"Wow, this is so real!"
"It's actually a 3D projection!"
"Worth it, totally worth it! This ticket was so worth it!"
"The effect is so lifelike, this viewing experience is amazing~"
"I'm definitely coming here to watch the next storyline!"
"This is even more spectacular than the Choir of Resonance in the game!"
"The organizers really went all out to create such an awesome holographic projection."
However.
Soon.
All the audience members stopped laughing.
The moment the Choir of Resonance fully formed!
An overwhelming sense of pressure swept over everyone!
Many audience members who had stood up in excitement were instantly blown away like kites with broken strings!
Those in the front row were directly blown under their chairs!
The audience, who had just been marveling, now cried out in panic.
The scene was in complete chaos!
...
Little Gui's live stream.
"Is it our old rival again—Dominicus of the Harmonious Choir?"
"Luckily, I go through it every week, so I'm quite familiar with it!"
"The advantage is ours!"
Just as she was about to start the fight.
She glanced at the barrage of comments.
And immediately, something caught Little Gui's attention!
"Holy crap! Something big happened at the Astral Express Crew's viewing event!"
"The Harmonious Choir has actually been summoned!"
"Do you believe him or do you believe I'm Fuli?"
"Seriously, I swear, if I'm lying, may all your gacha pulls be pity!"
"I have a friend who's at the venue, and he was video-calling me when suddenly he was flung over ten meters, landing right on the heads of the audience in the back rows…"
"Damn! That intense?"
"I'm a staff member working backstage, and I regret to inform everyone that this is real! The moment the Harmonious Choir appeared, all our electronic equipment backstage went haywire, and the control room is in complete chaos!"
"The person in charge has fainted in the bathroom. The compensation this time is probably going to be astronomical…"
Little Gui was initially skeptical.
But as the players in the comments described it more and more vividly, with every detail accounted for…
She couldn't help but open the official live stream!
Perhaps due to poor signal.
It took several seconds to load.
The camera was shaking, but the situation inside the venue was still clearly visible!
On the stage.
A massive golden figure occupied the entire central space.
It was none other than the Great Septimus of the Harmonious Choir!
The audience seats were in complete disarray!
But there were still quite a few brave souls filming the scene…
Little Gui immediately looked as if she'd seen a ghost!
"No way, sis!"
"You guys at the venue are getting such a treat!?"
"To actually experience the high-energy battle scenes firsthand!"
"I was originally planning to go too, but I figured I'd just stream the new storyline instead…"
"Ahhh, I'm really missing out this time!"
...
At the scene.
Below the stage.
The entire Astral Express Crew stood up.
Each of them drew their weapons!
Ready for battle.
Himeko glanced back with some concern.
"Why are so many people still here? Don't they realize the magnitude of this colossal being?"
"Not only are they still here, but some of them even look excited!"
March 7th waved her fist at the audience still seated in the back!
Unexpectedly, the audience only got more excited!
They waved their fists back at March 7th!
"Go, little March!"
"Go, Astral Express Crew!"
Old Yang rubbed his cane, his expression grave. "There's no other way. Although it might cause some damage to the venue, since we're here, we can't just stand by and do nothing."
At that moment.
Sunday stepped forward.
"Everyone, this situation is truly unexpected."
"The cause of this lies with me…"
"Please lend me your strength to prevent innocent bystanders from being harmed."
Dan Heng gripped his weapon, Cloud-Piercer.
He said coldly, "No need for further words."
Stelle, meanwhile, brandished her lance, eager for action!
The tip of her lance was already ablaze with Flare.
Against such a massive foe, a lance with devastating destructive power was the way to go!
Although the attacks of the Preservation Path might seem underwhelming in the game,
In reality, their power was anything but ordinary!
Stelle raised her head,
Before me stood the Harmonious Choir, towering like a mountain.
Instantly, I felt my Attack was still a bit too low!
A smirk curled at the corner of my mouth.
I put on the hat inherited from Misha.
Then, with a loud shout, "Bat, come!"
In an instant, I transformed into my peak form—bat in my left hand, lance in my right, and Mikhail's hat on my head!
Sunday looked slightly surprised.
He closed his eyes,
and smiled gently.
"Having you all as companions is truly reassuring."
"Then, this time..."
"Let's fight side by side."
