Chapter 322: The gaze of Xipe! The Dream of Order is unleashed!
At the same moment Mikhail finished saying, "From now on, It is your path to walk."
A spotlight snapped on with a sharp click.
The scene shifted abruptly!
It cut to the grand selection awards ceremony.
Which was also the scene of the confrontation between the Express Crew and Sunday!
The Trailblazer took the hat from Misha's hands.
And placed it on their own head.
Clockie also hopped out from behind them.
His face was solemn!
He stood alongside the Express Crew!
"Trailblazing…"
"Means taking paths your predecessors foreswore,"
"And walk an even greater distance…"
Himeko, March 7th, Firefly… They all took large strides forward.
At this moment, the camera even deliberately transitioned into slow motion.
They arrived before Sunday one by one, striking incredibly cool poses!
They gave their own answer!
The Trailblazer's voice rang out!
"The Penacony in Mikhail's dreams,"
"Does not belong to [ Order ]!"
Gently touching the brim of the hat.
Adjusting it straight.
In an instant,
Behind everyone, a golden light blazed brilliantly!
As if they were standing upon the sun itself!
This scene.
Who knows how many players across the universe were absolutely stunned by it!
The bullet screen in Little Gui's livestream room,
Exploded instantly!
…
"Holy crap!!"
"SO COOL SO COOL SO COOL SO COOL SO COOL SO COOL!!!"
"Nameless, assemble!"
"This is mind-blowing!"
"I'm getting fired up!"
"Will Clockie board the Express with the protagonist in the future?"
"One hat, passed to 'Falcon', passed to the 'Watchmaker', and now passed into the hands of the 'Galactic Baseballer'."
"This is the inheritance of us Nameless, hey!"
"Don't underestimate the bond of our Express Crew!"
"They all look like absolute badasses!"
"Now it's my turn to do what I must!"
"Damn, this is simply too cool. I really wish I was right there on the scene!"
…
At the Reverie Hotel.
They had thought Misha and Clockie's farewell was already peak fiction.
They never expected,
That there would be this scene of inheritance between Mikhail and the Trailblazer right after!
Every single guest was left dumbfounded!
During the previous confrontation with Sunday, after Sunday voiced his philosophy of the seven-day rest, the protagonist's group had seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.
But now,
After going through Mikhail's storyline.
The protagonist's group seemed to have instantly sublimated!
Like a single spark turning into a wildfire sweeping across the plains!
And just as everyone was marveling.
An even more explosive plot point arrived!
The moment after the Trailblazer put on the hat.
Amidst the brilliant, gorgeous light.
A giant female statue appeared against the backdrop of the cosmos!
The universe surrounded and adorned Her body like liquid diamond fragments.
Her forward-facing countenance opened its eyes.
Wearing a mysterious smile.
This,
Was precisely the thousand-faced deity worshiped by the Family—the Aeon of Harmony, Xipe!
The people on the scene were utterly dumbfounded!
Their throats went dry!
"AHHHHH!!!"
"Oh… My god…"
"Am I! Seeing things?"
"Xipe… By the Thousand-Faced One, it really is Her!"
"First Nanook of Destruction, then Qlipoth the Preservation, and now even Xipe of Harmony has cast Her gaze…"
"Could it be that the MC is truly destined by fate!?"
"For such a scene to appear right in front of the Family, what an irony."
"Is this going to unlock the Path of Harmony now?"
The bullet screen in the livestream room was also exceptionally lively!
…
"Xipe: Good. In the name of Harmony, the remnants of the Order in Asdana should be swept away. Come, Trailblazer, take this power!"
"Xipe: Well said!"
"You pass!"
"Xipe: Let me see what's going on here?"
"Sunday: Am I fighting Xipe? For real?"
"Any organization is more united than the Family [ lol ]"
"Sunday and the Dream Master must be sweating bullets right now, right?"
"With this kind of situation arising, will Sunday stop the Dream of Ena?"
"I'm at the Reverie Hotel right now. Sunday and the Dream Master have already disappeared. They probably couldn't handle this kind of pressure!"
"They probably went to prepare for the descent of the Dream of Ena…"
"Friendly reminder! Countdown to the descent of the Dream of Ena: 30 seconds."
" 29 seconds!"
" 28 seconds!"
"…"
The entire internet began to count down together!
At the same time.
Outside the planet of Penacony.
The vast majority of the Xianzhou fleet had already completed their evacuation!
Only a small portion of outposts remained to attempt to observe and crack the Dream of Ena.
Meanwhile, the Express Crew was situated right at the boundary between the two.
Inside the cabin.
March 7th couldn't help but grab the corner of Stelle's clothes.
"If I can't help but fall asleep in a bit, you have to wake me up immediately!"
Stelle scratched her head: "What if I fall into the dream too?"
"Then we will wake up from the dream together," Himeko spoke.
As for the players at the Reverie Hotel, they were currently pushed to the eye of the storm!
The numerous players on the scene seemed to be having their final carnival!
"I regret it now. Is it still too late to back out?"
"No way it's in time!"
"Oh no, oh no… The clown is actually myself!"
"Is my Trailblaze journey going to end here?"
"There are still 20 seconds. Is there really no room for negotiation?"
"No—I haven't even had the chance to use my Trailblaze Power today!!"
"Whatever, it's just a dream. I will wake up by my own will!"
"I wonder if I'll still remember this exact moment after falling into the dream, remembering the moment when we Honkai: Star Rail players were united as one!?"
"Ahhhhh…"
"It's coming!!"
At the final ten-second mark.
Suddenly, someone leaped up, jumping onto the chandelier in the lobby!
They asked everyone below: "Everyone, please tell me! Why do people sleep?"
After a brief 2-second silence.
The players from all over the universe.
Replied in unison: "—Because we will eventually wake up from our dreams!"
2…
1…
In a daze.
It seemed a blue arc of light erupted from the center of Penacony.
Instantly covering Penacony.
And then radiating towards the surrounding areas of the Asdana star system!
The originally restless crowd fell completely silent in an instant!
Everything seemed to be submerged beneath the surface of the sea!
Everyone on the scene seemed to instantly transform into marionettes.
Becoming eerily quiet.
Outside Penacony.
In the cabin of the Express.
March 7th gently tapped her forehead.
Slowly opening her eyes.
"Am, am I in a dream right now, or in reality?"
"We're still in the cabin, and the surrounding scene doesn't seem to have changed much?"
Himeko patted March 7th's shoulder.
She said: "It looks like we are at a critical boundary point."
"Plus, having watched the plot beforehand, we were fully prepared."
"We didn't fall into the Dream of Ena."
March 7th patted her chest.
Sighing: "So that's how it is. Why do I feel a bit disappointed instead?"
At this moment.
The sound of a remote communication came from the cabin.
"Hello, everyone on the Express. Are you all alright?"
"Please reply if you copy. Repeating, please reply if you copy."
"Is that General Jing Yuan?!"
"Reply, reply! We are currently doing well and don't seem to have fallen into the dream!"
Inside Little Gui's livestream room.
The screen was frozen at the very last second when the countdown ended!
Not only was the livestream of the game plot paused.
Even Little Gui in the bottom right corner was directly frozen!
Only the bullet screen on the left was still scrolling frantically!
…
"?????"
"Oh no!!"
"Little Gui has fallen into the dream!"
"Not just Little Gui, all those Penacony players I follow have gone completely silent now!"
"Holy crap!?"
"Is this the Dream of Ena?"
"Can anyone tell me what kind of scene Penacony is right now?"
"Imagine everyone staying completely still, indulged in the dream…"
"Has Penacony collectively fallen?"
"Are there any big shots who are still awake?"
"Little Gui, don't sleep! How am I supposed to live without your streams?!"
"Ahhhhh…".
