Unknown what means Aventurine used, he obtained control over various devices in the Dreamscape. Now, the entire Penacony was broadcasting Aventurine's situation live.
Listening to such flashy words, March put her hands on her hips and looked at Pei Guang: "He's starting? So next, we send him to die?"
Pei Guang nodded: "Yes. But, well, everyone doesn't need to hold back. He possesses the power of an Emanator: without a scripted kill, we can't beat him anyway. His goal isn't important, what's important is us~ We are counting on him to get to the deepest part of Penacony. We'll just do as usual, fighting and killing our way through, enjoying the plot along the way."
Doing Aventurine's quest for rewards was one thing.
On the other hand, Pei Guang planned to obtain Acheron's power through her death, and then use her power to take everyone to the deepest part of Penacony, or the Inner World, unharmed?
Aventurine counted as a touchstone to verify Acheron's power.
Dangerous? Pei Guang didn't feel much danger. For someone who issued a quest without giving rewards like this, even if he died, Pei Guang would have to resurrect him, make him give the rewards, and then let him die again.
As for Penacony's secret? He had already guessed most of it; next was just verification.
Whether his guess was right or wrong, it would be a wonderful experience.
Himeko: "Since it's decided, then let's go for it. This is also a part of Trailblazing!"
Pei Guang: "That's right, let's give Aventurine a hard Trailblazing."
Stelle turned to look at Pei Guang: "Trailblaze some new playstyles for him?"
Pei Guang: "Not impossible~ Let's go, set off!"
The group marched towards the interior of Clock Studios Theme Park. Since people had been evacuated beforehand, they didn't encounter too many obstacles along the way.
The group walked onto the grand stage of the Theme Park very smoothly.
Upon arriving at this stage scene, all the surrounding large screens lit up.
"Everyone from the Astral Express, and the Galaxy Ranger over here, you've finally arrived."
Pei Guang: "We're here, we're here. Come on! Bring out your good show quickly, I can't wait."
Stelle drew her flaming lance and excitedly wiped the tip: "See this lance tip? It once poked Qlipoth's butt. Today, I will use it to poke your butt too."
Pei Guang: "Rounding it up, Qlipoth poked Aventurine's butt?"
Stelle: "Ohhh, as expected of Ah Guang, truly great wisdom!"
Pei Guang: "Why do I feel like I used to praise you with that?"
The words of these two silenced the scene, even stifling whatever Aventurine wanted to say back into his throat.
Aventurine decided to ignore their words and continued speaking: "Of course I will, but before that, I wish to properly introduce the true protagonist of tonight, Miss Stellaron!"
At this moment, the spotlights gathered on Stelle, and simultaneously, Stelle's image appeared on all the surrounding large screens.
Feeling the surrounding spotlights and looking at the image on the screen, Stelle puffed out her chest proudly: "Ah Guang, look, I'm on TV."
Pei Guang directly leaned over and blocked Stelle's face: "Nonsense, the one on TV is clearly me!"
March 7th: "Oh come on~ stop messing around. Why do I feel like his words aren't quite right?"
Pei Guang: "What's not right? He said he invited Miss Stellaron, which proves he wants to use the Stellaron to do something big. For example, detonating the Stellaron inside Stelle's body and blowing Penacony sky-high?"
Firefly followed up with a serious complaint: "If he uses a Stellaron to blow Penacony sky-high, I would call that efficient."
Pei Guang shook his head: "No no no, using Stelle's Stellaron isn't efficient. Since her body can contain the Stellaron, it proves that this Stellaron is hard to cause damage with. If it could cause damage easily, why would the Stellaron Hunters stuff it into her body?
Compared to detonating her Stellaron, I actually have a more efficient method. For example..."
This time, Pei Guang took out his [Best Sword in the Village].
This was his starter weapon, and it had slain countless enemies for him along the journey.
After coming to Penacony, Pei Guang hadn't used this weapon.
Not because the weapon was weak, but because it was too strong. Because a Stellaron with the Path of Remembrance was mounted on it, this weapon could cause damage to non-corporeal units.
Simply put, using this weapon in the dream could truly kill people.
After taking out this weapon, Pei Guang calmly unmounted the Stellaron attached to the weapon. Looking at the Stellaron in Pei Guang's hand, everyone present fell silent.
Welt: "Is this... a Stellaron?"
Himeko: "????"
Himeko's blood pressure was already a bit high. Seeing Pei Guang suddenly take out a Stellaron, she felt her vision going a bit dark.
Stelle leaned in towards this Stellaron: "Eh? I remember you mounted this Stellaron on the weapon. It can be taken off?"
Pei Guang: "Of course it can! It's my loot, I can use it however I want, right? But logically speaking, compared to detonating your Stellaron, I feel detonating my Stellaron is more efficient."
March 7th shivered: "Um... be careful... don't actually blow it up."
Pei Guang: "It won't blow up. Honestly, I wouldn't bear to blow it up even if you asked me to: this is the clearance reward from Belobog. Although mine is more efficient, from my personal perspective, Aventurine, you should still detonate Stelle's Stellaron. I support you."
Stelle was shocked: "If the Stellaron is detonated, I'll die."
"Right! So we just don't let him detonate the Stellaron? He wants to detonate your Stellaron, aren't you going to express something? You're being threatened. Usually, we are the ones threatening others; since when do others threaten us?"
Although this was a quest, since the other party was talking smack, Pei Guang wouldn't indulge him. The quest was one thing, the reward was one thing, but momentum was another.
Playing a game, you can feed, but you can't be a coward.
What's the point of playing if you're a coward?
Stelle was encouraged: "Well said! I've decided. Not only will I use this flaming lance to poke your butt, but I'll also record a video and send it to the whole universe."
Pei Guang: "You go in, I'll record."
March 7th: "I'll take photos."
Firefly: "I know a master hacker; I'll help you spread it to the entire universe."
Himeko carefully pondered Pei Guang's words.
She felt Pei Guang was right: before, the Astral Express wasn't strong enough, so they couldn't talk too tough, but now it was different.
Himeko: "Then I'll transmit this beautiful scene to the entire universe via the Express."
Welt: "I will take it back to my homeland and make three copies. One to give away, one to collect, and one as a backup for the collection."
Acheron watched everyone being so happy.
Saying nothing at this moment fit her Path very well, but for some reason, she felt she should say something: "I... shall applaud for you?"
At this moment, Aventurine felt a chill on his butt, and his expression became grave.
He knew that now he could only lose to Acheron. Facing Pei Guang and the others, he couldn't lose.
If he lost... something even more terrifying than death would happen.
Recalling the various bizarre remix videos of the Lord Ravagers he had seen before, the light in Aventurine's eyes vanished at this moment.
