Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan

Pinocchio, the dome of the grand theater completely collapsed under that punch.

There was no spectacular explosion, no deafening roar.

The concept of "order" is forcibly superseded by the more tyrannical and higher-dimensional concept of "truth".

Those golden rays of light transformed into dim specks of light, dissolving into the void and darkness.

The fallen Sunday was held aloft by a soft starlight and placed on the edge of the broken stage.

His golden eyes, once filled with fervor and compassion, were now empty and blank.

He looked down at his empty hands.

That perfect utopia called "Taiyi's Dream".

Just like a soap bubble that's been casually popped, it vanishes without a trace.

Why...?

Sunday's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping.

He struggled to lift his head and looked at the black-clad man slowly descending.

"Why break it? In that dream, no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone enjoyed eternal peace..."

"Why must such fragile beings as humans face a cruel tomorrow?"

"Because that's not called living."

Luo Chen looked down at him from his high vantage point.

His eyes held no arrogance of a victor, only the calm of someone who sees through the essence of things.

"Without the pain of falling, there is no joy of getting up."

"You've locked everyone in a fancy box and decided for them what happiness is."

"This kind of self-righteous arrogance is even worse than the antimatter legion that directly kills people."

Luo Chen turned around, casually flicking the hem of his trench coat.

"Birds are born to belong to the sky, even if the sky is filled with thunder."

"Even the right to spread one's wings is taken away; living for ten thousand years will only result in a finely crafted specimen."

"specimen……"

Sunday was a bitter day, a time for me to chew on the word, until I finally closed my eyes in despair.

The core of the dream collapsed, and the surrounding space was violently distorted.

A strong feeling of weightlessness washed over me.

The entire "golden moment" receded like the tide going out.

Reality. Daydream Hotel - Top Floor VIP Suite.

wow-

The pale blue liquid in the Dream Pool rippled violently.

Luo Chen was the first to open his eyes.

He sat up from the pool and brushed aside the stray hairs on his forehead that were covered with nutrient solution.

The Third Star Particle Body can pull the senses away from the dream in just half a second and re-anchor them to reality.

Stepping out of the pool, his black casual clothes instantly dried under the magic.

A series of noises came from the nearby Dream Pools.

"Cough cough...this water smells like disinfectant."

Morgan sat up with a frown, and her magic instantly evaporated the moisture from her body.

She glanced at Ru Mengchi with disdain, then naturally walked to Luo Chen's side and took his arm.

"The scenery in the dream was passable, and I still have reservations about handing over consciousness to a machine. Next time, I'd prefer to directly transform the planet's spiritual veins into my own inherent barrier."

"Dad! That was way too fast!"

Mordred suddenly leaped out of the water, thrashing about like a drowning dog.

"I hadn't even had my fill of hacking away! That lump of iron looked intimidating, but it couldn't even withstand a single punch!"

"That's called a dimensional reduction attack, Xiao Mo."

Scáthach took a long stride, her long, purplish-red hair cascading over her snow-white shoulders.

She stretched her perfect waist, her wine-red eyes glancing at Luo Chen.

"Judging from his leisurely stroll just now, he probably didn't even use one percent of his strength, right? What a frustrating Master."

On the other side, the train crew gradually woke up.

"He's alive..."

March 7th patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Just now, I thought I was going to shatter along with the dream."

Dan Heng silently stood up, his blue eyes looking at Luo Chen's back, his awe deepening.

At that moment, a very faint sob came from the corner.

Liu Ying gripped the metal edge of the Dream Pool tightly with both hands.

My body is trembling uncontrollably.

She lowered her head, large tears falling into the blue nutrient solution.

Ripples spread out in concentric circles.

"Firefly? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xing immediately came over.

"I...my body..."

Liu Ying looked up, her delicate face filled with disbelief, ecstasy, and bewilderment.

She slowly raised her hands, clenched them into fists, and then relaxed them.

There was no sense of weakness, like the feeling of something that could easily dissipate into particles of light.

There's no coldness that constantly gnaws at the cells.

In reality, leaving the medical pod or not wearing the "Sam" mech would cause her excruciating pain from entropy loss.

But in the dream, Luo Chen channeled purple-gold energy into her body.

I was brought back to reality?!

"That power... is still there..."

Liu Ying felt the warm, sun-like current in her heart.

The magic that transcends the laws of life is like an indestructible barrier.

They forcibly welded the broken gene chains in her body back together!

It's not just suppression, it's "correction"!

"It seems my magic hasn't become rusty."

Luo Chen walked to the edge of her pool and looked down at the girl who was crying tears of joy.

A gentle smile played on his lips.

"I told you in the dream, didn't I? I've taken control of your life."

"Since they're mine, a mere genetic disease doesn't give them the right to snatch someone from me."

"Mr. Luo Chen..."

Liu Ying could no longer suppress her emotions.

Ignoring her soaking wet dream dress, she leaped directly out of the pool.

She bumped headfirst into Luo Chen's arms.

"Thank you... really, thank you..."

She clung tightly to his waist, burying her face in his chest.

She cried like a child who had finally found a safe haven.

"I thought I could only run like a normal person in my dreams..."

"I don't want to die... I want to live... I want to see this universe with everyone..."

Luo Chen did not push her away.

He gently patted her thin back.

"Then live well. From now on, you won't need to hide in that cold mech anymore to go wherever you want or see whatever scenery you want."

"Cough cough!"

A deliberately cleared throat came from behind me.

Morgan crossed his arms and did not react.

But the sudden drop in temperature around them already revealed the Fairy Queen's mood at that moment.

Artoria silently took out a towel and walked over to drape it over Firefly.

"Miss Firefly, the temperature in reality is quite low, please keep warm."

"Since everything's alright, let's go to the changing room and change into some dry clothes."

Saber deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "change clothes".

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry!"

Only then did Liu Ying realize how bold her actions had been.

Her face turned bright red instantly.

She hurriedly pulled away from Luo Chen's embrace and clutched the towel tightly.

She ran into the bathroom like a startled rabbit.

"I'll go change right away!"

Watching the firefly flee in panic, Xing stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"The boss's charm... he's practically a walking, talking star core! He easily triggers 'emotional collapse' wherever he goes."

"Star, do you feel like you're swinging the baseball bat too slowly? Do you need me to add some weight training for you?"

Luo Chen turned his head, a half-smile on his face.

"No, no, no! Boss is wise and mighty! May he live forever! I'll go check if March 7th has been changed yet!"

Xing immediately slipped away.

After everyone had settled in, they arrived at the suite's spacious living room.

There was a soft knocking on the door.

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open.

Instead of hotel staff, two unexpected guests walked in.

The robin, with an intellectual air, had slightly red eyes.

Galaxy Superstar has clearly just experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.

Sunday followed behind him. His halo was much dimmer, and he wore a magic limiter from his family on his wrist.

The once invincible guardian is now utterly dejected.

"Mr. Luo Chen, and all you nameless guests."

The robin walked up to the crowd and bowed deeply.

"On behalf of my brother and myself, I extend my sincerest apologies and gratitude to everyone."

She straightened up, her gaze clear and sincere.

"If it weren't for everyone's timely intervention, my brother... he might have gone further and further down the wrong path and committed irreparable crimes."

"Thank you for shattering that dream and giving it back to me."

On Sunday, I stood behind my younger sister and remained silent for a long time.

Slowly raise your head.

Looking at Luo Chen on the sofa, his eyes were extremely complicated.

"I lost. I lost completely."

"Not only power, but even the principles I'm so proud of seem like a childish joke in the face of your absolute 'truth.'"

"I am willing to accept judgment from my family and the Interstellar Peace Corporation. But before I am taken away... I want to apologize in person."

He bowed his head deeply.

The submission of an arrogant ruler to the absolute strongest.

"Lord Luo Chen, thank you for holding back with that final punch, preventing the remnants of Taiyi from completely devouring my soul."

Don't flatter yourself.

Luo Chen took a sip of red tea without even lifting his eyelids.

"I held back because I didn't want to have to pay for the repairs of this lousy hotel."

"Besides, your sister's singing was passable. If your death forces her to stop singing, my servants will find it disappointing."

Luo Chen pointed to Mordred and Melusin, who were eating snacks next to him.

"Regardless, we will remember this kindness."

The robin thanked them again, then glanced worriedly at the door.

"However, Mr. Luo Chen, although your brother's matter is over, Mr. Sha Jin and the others at the Interstellar Peace Company seem very uneasy about your presence."

"There is also an envoy-level figure waiting for you in the hotel lobby."

"The Underworld?"

Luo Chen was not surprised.

He put down his teacup and straightened his trench coat collar.

"The play has ended, and it's time to say goodbye to these 'audience members.'"

"Let's go, everyone."

Luo Chen looked at the women and train crew members behind him.

"Go to the lobby. While you're at it, extort... oh no, I mean settle the 'security fees' for the past few days with the company executives."

Daydream Hotel. First floor lobby.

Luo Chen and his group stepped out of the VIP elevator.

The atmosphere in the lobby was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.

A team of fully armed company security personnel stood guard on both sides.

But their hands, which were holding their weapons, were trembling.

In the central lounge area of ​​the lobby, Sand Gold sat on a sofa.

He was fiddling with the chip in his hand.

Her smile had completely frozen.

Not far away, beside a pillar, Huang Quan held the long sword named "Wu".

Leaning there quietly.

The moment I saw Luo Chen walk out.

A glimmer of light finally appeared in Huang Quan's dark eyes.

She straightened up and walked towards him.

"You've arrived."

Huang Quan's voice was still hoarse, but it carried a rare air of ease.

"The light in my dream was dazzling, yet also warm."

"That's a reality that even 'nothingness' cannot devour."

"What? Did you find your lost memories after killing a few bugs?"

Luo Chen looked at the messenger who carried a heavy destiny.

"Not everything was recovered. But... at least I know now that the end of this journey isn't just nothingness."

Huang Quan placed his hand on the hilt of the sword and bowed his head slightly.

The highest respect a pure swordsman can show to a strongman.

"Thank you, Luo Chen. If we meet again sometime in the future, I hope to use this sword to ask you for guidance."

"You're welcome anytime. Just don't worry about the knife breaking."

Luo Chen smiled.

Huang Quan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the hotel.

The lone figure disappeared into the night at Pinocchio.

After seeing Huang Quan off, Luo Chen's gaze finally fell on the peacock man, who was sweating profusely with nervousness.

When Sha Jin saw Luo Chen looking at him, he immediately stood up.

He flashed a fake professional smile that looked worse than crying.

"Lord Luo Chen, congratulations on successfully resolving the Sunday crisis."

"The company is aware of the situation. As a token of our respect, all your expenses during your stay at Pinocchio will be fully covered by the company."

That's it?

Luo Chen walked up to the sand gold and looked down at it.

He deliberately concealed the terrifying aura that allowed him to shatter the phantom of a star god with a single punch in a dream.

Even the slightest emanation of pressure was enough to make it difficult for Sha Jin, one of the "Ten Stone Hearts," to breathe.

"That's...of course it's more than that!"

Sand Gold, being extremely pragmatic, pulled out a black card inlaid with high-grade crystals and handed it over with both hands.

"This card has the company's highest level of unlimited credit, which can be used freely in any company or chamber of commerce throughout the universe. Please accept it, just as...making a friend."

"No need for friends. I don't like dealing with people who are too calculating."

Luo Chen accepted the black card without hesitation and casually tossed it to Ishtar.

"However, I'll accept the money. Consider it a 'toll' for your company's operations in this galaxy."

Ishtar frantically caught the black card.

The eyes instantly turned into the shape of gold coins.

I was so excited I almost jumped up.

"Unlimited credit?! Hahaha! Luo Chen, you're so cool! Tonight I'm going to buy the whole mall!!"

After finishing all the initial and final tasks, Luo Chen stretched.

"Alright, the Pinocchio farce is completely over."

He turned to look at Himeko and Welt.

"The train conductor must be getting impatient. We should head back too."

"yes."

Himeko smiled and nodded.

"Pam has urged me several times in the communications."

Luo Chen turned around and looked at the group of beautiful followers who had accompanied him across the starry sea and caused a great disturbance.

"go home."

"When we get back, have Xiaoyu prepare a lavish dinner."

"By the way..."

Luo Chen's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"And let's also do a good check to see if you've been slacking off in your dreams these past few days."

"Who's slacking off! Tonight I'm going to squeeze every last drop out of you!"

Mordred shouted, his face flushed.

"I second that. A knight's stamina should not be underestimated."

Saber raised her hand earnestly.

"Ha, a bunch of defeated wrestlers."

Morgan sneered.

Amidst the noisy bickering.

The group walked out of the Daydream Hotel.

Embark on the journey back to the stars on the train.
