"Uncle Welt, the battle on our end is over."
"We'll leave sealing the remaining Stellaron to you!"
"See you back on the Express! This Trailblaze Journey really wasn't easy!"
"Something absolutely shocking happened during the final showdown!"
"You might have been able to observe it from up there, but I'm sure it wasn't as clear as it was for us on the scene."
Looking at the string of messages sent by March 7th, Welt gave a helpless smile.
He really didn't know how to explain it to them.
Should he say, "We saw your entire Trailblaze Journey with crystal clarity"?
"Complete with point-of-view tracking and motion capture."
"Even your inner monologues and everything that happened in the mental realm were vividly displayed!"
Forget it. He would let Himeko explain it to them.
Welt immediately replied: "Understood. I will handle the Stellaron sealing. Remember to go find Himeko; she should have something to show you."
March 7th replied with an 'OK' Pom-Pom sticker.
Boulder Town.
March 7th, Dan Heng, and Stelle had already reported the news of their victory to Natasha, announcing that the blockade between the Overworld and the Underworld was about to be lifted.
The news spread rapidly through the Wildfire intelligence network.
The rest of the Underworld residents poured into the streets, celebrating as if it were a festival.
March 7th quite enjoyed this festive atmosphere, dragging Stelle and Dan Heng along to take commemorative photos at all the landmarks they had visited.
Dan Heng had a cold expression as he spoke. "The blockade is lifted. We can return to the Overworld via the cable car."
"What's the rush! There are still several places in the Underworld we haven't visited!" March 7th said enthusiastically. "Don't you want to see children like Hook and Clara?"
Dan Heng shook his head. "Those kids... I can't handle them."
Just then, Stelle opened her phone. The smile on her face suddenly froze.
"This is... a video from Himeko?"
March 7th leaned over to look and said with a giggle, "What is it? Did Himeko and Uncle Welt send a message praising us? Huh? A video? Did they record the process of sealing the Stellaron? Quick, open it!"
Stelle was surprised because the video's thumbnail was the scene of her pulling out the Flaming Spear.
But that had happened within a cosmic mental space. How could Himeko have filmed that experience?
Perhaps it was just a coincidence?
She tapped it.
A melodious tune instantly began to play.
The footage... was exactly the scene of her pulling out the spear in that mental world!
"How is this possible?!" Stelle stood frozen in place, her entire body stiffening.
March 7th's eyes widened beside her, as if she too had been turned to stone!
The surrounding bustle of people and the shouting of children seemed to be cut off from them. Their minds were completely captivated by the contents of the video!
Hearing the tune coming from behind him, even the normally indifferent Dan Heng felt a ripple in his heart. He was about to ask what the music was when he noticed Stelle and March 7th staring at the phone screen in shock.
They had fallen behind, leaving quite a distance between them!
Dan Heng frowned. He almost instinctively moved to summon his spear.
This situation... was looking a bit eerie.
He walked quickly back to them. He arrived just as a figure appeared in the battle on the screen.
It was none other than himself!
"Ethereal dream, I awake!"
"Break!"
The spear point pierced through Cocolia's back. Ink splattered across the screen like blood.
Then, Stelle's image appeared again.
[War-Shattering Flaming Lance]
"The tip of the spear is alight..."
"Flaming Lance, CHARGE!"
The fire effects seemed ready to overflow from the screen. A massive pillar of fire scorched the sky!
"Is this... a game...?" Dan Heng asked, noticing certain game-like UI features on the interface.
But he still wasn't sure. The images were far too realistic! And they were enhanced with various special effects.
"Was this filmed during the fight against Cocolia?" Stelle asked in confusion.
"No, no! It didn't look like this when we were fighting her!" March 7th exclaimed. "What's going on with this video? Himeko wouldn't be playing a prank on us by making a video like this, would she? But to be honest, your battle scenes are seriously cool! What about me? Am I in it? Himeko wouldn't forget me, right!"
As soon as she spoke, the March 7th in the party indeed made a move.
"Watch this! Check out this awesome move~"
[Shield Increased]
"Huh? Wait, that's it? Why are you two so cool while I'm just giving people status buffs?" March 7th looked aggrieved. She felt the difference between them was a bit too large!
Dan Heng's gaze was solemn as he said deeply, "Quiet, March. We're reaching a critical point."
March puffed out her cheeks in a huff and looked to Stelle for support. However, her best friend didn't even acknowledge her; her attention was entirely focused on the video.
"By my hand, a new world shall be created!!"
Cocolia smashed down the condensed meteor in her hand, and the background music transitioned into vocals at that exact moment.
Dan Heng's entire body shuddered. Stelle's pupils shrank, and the hair on the back of her neck stood up!
March 7th looked horrified, as if she had seen a ghost!
It took a long time before the three of them snapped out of their shock.
"This... this is a game?"
"This battle scene... it feels even more hype than when we were actually there!"
