Without any surprise, Phantylia was defeated by everyone.
The viewers in front of the screen didn't feel even the slightest surprise.
After all, within the high-end circle of Emanators, Phantylia's weakness was publicly known. She had neither impressive displays nor notable battle records.
[March 7th: Whew, so the Xianzhou storyline ends here? It feels a bit rushed. I'm not satisfied yet.]
[Stelle: Although something feels off, …it seems like it really was like this back then?]
[Sunday: No… Everyone, this one has had similar experiences. If this Phantylia is truly an Emanator, she absolutely cannot be as simple as what was shown. Remember? In Penacony, you all also thought you had defeated me.]
[Welt: You mean… Ena's Dream?]
[Himeko: Phantylia can use such methods too?]
[Boothill: Damn cute one, that's way too weird! Doesn't that kind of thing require the power of "Order" to construct?]
[Sunday: Please wait patiently for a while. I believe the ending will be revealed soon.]
Just as Sunday predicted, after a few seconds the livestream screen gradually darkened. A line of subtitles slowly appeared, paired with March 7th's voice that faintly carried a crying tone:
"So, does the Luofu story really end here?"
The scene shifted to March 7th's perspective:
Ever since defeating Phantylia and returning to the Express, March 7th discovered something strange.
Her "presence" had disappeared.
After returning from the Luofu, March 7th found that no matter whether she spoke to the others on the Express or made physical contact, she received no feedback at all. It was as if everyone could no longer sense her existence.
They were already people from two different worlds!
[March 7th: Eek! T-This is too creepy. If… if this young lady really encountered this situation… I wouldn't dare imagine it!]
[March 7th: Ah, I almost forgot. It was like this in Amphoreus too… That feeling, this young lady really doesn't want to experience it again. Whew— Good thing I endured it back then. As expected of me.]
[March 7th: So this must be a dream. That despicable Phantylia. She can't beat us head-on, so she resorts to such underhanded nightmare tricks! So shameless!]
[March 7th: Looking at it this way, this young lady feels a bit sorry for the me in this world. If no one breaks the dream, wouldn't this young lady have to be invisible for a lifetime? That's even scarier than the ninety-seven days in Amphoreus!]
[Stelle: March, don't be afraid. Although it's a bit immoral to say this, after all it's the you from another universe. We're all by your side. Nothing will happen.]
[Dan Heng: Correct.]
[Himeko: You're the most lively one on our Express. It's impossible for us to forget little March 7th.]
[March 7th: T-Thank you everyone!]
However, right after the Express crew comforted March 7th, the camera shifted. The March 7th in the viewing slowly revealed an evil smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Oh~ I understand. You all can't see me and can't feel me, right? Since I can't escape for the time being, I might as well take this chance to enjoy myself."
With that, March 7th headed straight for her target room.
—"Eh? Why are my clothes broken?"
—"Eh? Why does my body feel a bit strange?"
—"Eh? Eeeek… Aaaaaah—!"

[Stelle: …]
[Stelle: I, the mighty Galactic Baseballer, Belobog Museum Manager, important ally of the Xianzhou Alliance, Lady Herta's only designated tester, Lady Ruan Mei's designated assistant, Penacony shareholder, Captain of The Radiant Feldspar, and Honorary Second Savior of Amphoreus, have lost all my reputation!!]
[All Belobog: Congratulations, congratulations]
[All Luofu: Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations]
[All Penacony: Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations]
[Part of Amphoreus: Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations]
[Phainon: …Good thing it's not my partner.]
[Cyrene: Aiya, this really makes one's heart race~ If only this one were there in person too~]
The camera shifted again, switching to Dan Heng's dream:
—"Of five people, three must be married off."
Blade's face, covered in a frenzied smile, filled the entire frame. There was no sense of oppression; instead, it made people want to laugh. He tied Dan Heng to the bed and, together with Jing Yuan, put a wedding dress on him. "Dan Heng, you are one of them."
Dan Heng widened his eyes: "What are you two trying to do?"
"Of course we're marrying you off." Blade sneered. "I said, of five people, three must be married off. After you get married, only Jingliu and Jing Yuan will be left."
Dan Heng: "??? Then what about you?"
Blade: "Me? Ahahahahaha, of course I'll be with Baiheng, hahaha. Jing Yuan and Jingliu aren't in a rush anyway. That crazy woman will end up with no one wanting her, so Jing Yuan will have to take her in the end. The urgent matter is to settle your business first."
"Don't worry, we've already found a suitable husband for you. Look at the one beside me. She is the Galactic Baseballer, Belobog Museum Manager, Simulated Universe's only pilot, Penacony shareholder, and Amphoreus Savior. She is more than enough to match a Xianzhou Dragon Lord like you."
"What?!"
Dan Heng was shocked. He saw a gray-haired figure pressing down on him. Without a doubt, it was Stelle!
What?!!
Dan Heng asked himself honestly — did he have feelings for Stelle? The answer was undoubtedly yes, but those feelings were limited to companions. Romantic feelings between man and woman? None. Absolutely none!
In most cases, Stelle was just like a humanoid with zero feminine charm. Among the trio, Dan Heng still knew there was a difference between men and women with March 7th, but with Stelle it was pure brotherhood!
"Don't come over!" Dan Heng roared and began struggling desperately.
Stelle laughed eerily: "Dan Heng, just submit to me. Come on, let me take a look~"
"No, Stelle, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"Be good~ Let me see!"
"Don't come over, don't… No!!"
As Dan Heng let out a roar, the scene ended. A line of subtitles appeared on the screen: [Dan Heng relied on his own conviction to break through the nightmare.]
[Dan Heng: …]
[Stelle: Ber! Why do both of their dreams involve me? Don't I have any face?!]
[Welt: Don't mind it, Stelle. This also shows from the side how deep your relationship is. Even in this kind of situation, you're the first one they dream about.]
[March 7th: Y-Yang Uncle, stop talking!!]
[Jingliu: Wait, what do you mean by "Blade will of course be with Baiheng hahaha"? Dan Heng, why would such an absurd thing appear in your dream?]
[Dan Heng: …Because this is a dream.]
[Jingliu: Outrageous. Even in a dream, it can't be this absurd, right? Imbibitor Lunae, Ying Xing, I see you two are still entangled…]
[Jing Yuan: @Dan Heng Don't mind her. That old lady is indeed getting on in years and her mind isn't very good. Please be understanding.]
[Blade: What do you mean absurd? Why? You think it's impossible?]
[Jingliu: Do you think it's possible? Ying Xing, you wouldn't think that changing to another appearance and another identity can erase the sins of the past, right?]
[Blade: ?]
[Jing Yuan: Alright, alright, both of you say less. Jingliu's mind isn't very good. Blade, you say less too!]
[Blade: …Hmph, ridiculous. Why? Jing Yuan, you're helping this crazy woman speak. Could it be that it's really like what was said in the viewing?]
[Jing Yuan: You! Ha, no wonder Baiheng didn't choose you back then. Tsk tsk tsk…]
[Blade: What?! Jing Yuan, say that again!]
[March 7th: Ah… What a strong gossip smell.]
