Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

[Fireworks: Little Gray's relatives seem to be a bit too persistent. Compared to this thing, even Laigus seems as fragile as a spider's web... Although Laigus probably used one of his star cores as a firecracker.]

[March 7th: Could someone in the family have been bewitched by the Star Core?]

[Gallach: A person bewitched by a star core? Ha, if only it were that simple!]

Walter frowned: "Pinocone is unobstructed, a well-connected interstellar hub, and shows no signs of contamination. How could it be related to the star core?"

Cataclysms caused by a star's core are often extremely violent, like the snowstorm in Beloborg.

In comparison, Pinocchio is far too peaceful and orderly.

Gallagher shrugged. "You're absolutely right, so why don't you guess what that means?"

Several people expressed their disapproval of his riddle-solving behavior with their eyes, but adhering to the principle of respecting the dead and the dying being the second most important, they silently began to think.

The stellar core is playing a role, but it does so in a very "sensible" way, subtly and quietly...

The Protoss Machine suddenly realized: "Someone is manipulating the Star Core!"

"Very perceptive," Gallagher praised. "How should I put it? No wonder you're the person here who knows the most about the stellar core."

[Star: As expected of me!]

Gallagher explained, "Dreams don't just appear out of thin air. If you compare memories to the ocean, building a land of dreams is like filling in the surging ocean to create land."

"To achieve this feat, the only way is to use a star core, unless the messenger of [Memory] or [Mystery] intervenes."

"Furthermore, this isn't something that can be accomplished simply by making a wish. It requires a considerable level of knowledge, along with a significant amount of time and manpower, to do it so flawlessly. Now you understand, right..."

Gallagher turned his body, his gaze passing over the desolate Dream Reef and reaching the dazzling lights in the sky opposite.

The more dazzling it was, the more heartbroken he became.

"The current 'Star of the Gathering' is none other than the 'Central Disaster' of Asdna."

March 7th's eyes narrowed suddenly. She covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock, "The Star of the Grand Gathering... is the Star Core Disaster?"

After a few words were uttered, many people in Yinhe were stunned into silence.

This family is incredibly audacious!

Among those who were most astonished were the Star Train crew. In this world, apart from the creators of the Star Core, there is probably no other force that deals with the Star Core more than them.

Having witnessed so many catastrophes brought about by the star core, such things no longer have any positive connotations in their minds.

But now, a force has brazenly used it to create a "Dream Star"!

Is this a beautiful dream or a nightmare?

The guests at the Daydream Hotel turned pale instantly.

Look at the bathtub in the room, filled with dreamy bubbles.

This thing isn't a dream-fulfilling machine, it's a monster!

"Won't this pool 'eat' people up?!"

And the dreamers, already lost in their dreams, had faces drained of color from fear.

They had been living a good life, but now they felt a chill run down their spines. After hearing the news, the air around them seemed to have turned into some kind of blood-sucking insect, constantly draining their lives in some imperceptible way.

That's a star core! Who would believe that getting benefits from it comes without a price?

Even the dream builders who contributed to Pinocchio's development were shaken; in fact, they were the ones whose faith collapsed the most.

They stared at their hands, trembling.

"How is this possible? The materials issued by the family's higher-ups are actually..."

"What's this? I went through so much trouble to get my Dream Builder license, I came here to build Asdna!"

betray!

Everyone suffered the same betrayal. And it wasn't just the watchmakers!

[Walter: Unbelievable.]

[Robin: How could such a thing happen...?]

[Xi Lian: Sniff... No wonder it smells so good, it smells like one of my friends.]

[Yao Guang: No wonder! I was wondering how someone with the Harmonious Fate Path could utilize memory matter so efficiently. The term "Harmonious Fate Path" alone wouldn't be enough to make it so easy to control.]

[Jingyuan: No wonder, among the Four Great Ends, "Harmony" has a definite position. Is this a case of seeing the big picture from a small detail?]

[Black Tower: No, there's an even bigger question. Developing a star core is extremely difficult; even among geniuses, only Zandal is currently known to be able to utilize it. How did Pinocchio manage to do it? Of course, I'm not questioning Gallagher's words, but rather, where did the family obtain the development method? To borrow a phrase from Yao Guang, this cannot be explained simply by the word "harmony."]

[That Summer: It's clear that the extraterrestrial families have a deep connection with the Star Core from very early on. Ha, how ironic. The foundation of the Grand Gathering Star is the forerunner of this ominous Star Core. Those who say "May the souls of the three dimensions protect you" are actually dealing with something as infamous as destruction in the universe.]

The wise people in the galaxy all became vigilant.

The seed of doubt was planted, and it sprouted into a seed called family.

Some people have even begun to ponder the long-standing but never-proven question.

Is the Star Core truly a product of the Destroyer Star God?

[Himeko: Can I interpret this as the root cause of Mikhail's mysterious death?]

The chat group fell silent.

This statement may seem calm, but a wise person understands that it carries immense weight and is already on the verge of declaring war, just one word away from being said.

Now, the clockmaker's true identity is almost obvious. Galach's owner is the clockmaker; why did he go to such lengths to bring the Star Train in? And who is the person whose inscription is missing one character on the stone tablet?

Ragvok Shar Mikhail!

As the father of Pinocchio, he lost his life-and-death partner, all the fame and status he should have had, and was banished to this desolate world isolated by death. He was helpless as he watched the free world he had fought for with his own hands descend into depravity.

The news that the Star Train had resumed its journey cheered him up. Clinging to his last hope, he pleaded for help from the train and called out to his conductor.

However, he did not live to hear the train whistle again.

Jingyuan: I have the will to kill the traitors, but I lack the power to reverse the situation.

[March 7th: Poor anonymous folks.]

[Danheng: Perhaps, when Mikhail decided to descend the suspension stairs, he smiled back at the train and vowed in his heart that when the train returned to this prison planet, he would show the conductor his masterpiece with the most beautiful flowers and the most prosperous city.]

[Star: But now the train is here, and he...]

[Pam: Ugh!!! Stop talking, stop talking, Pam, the train conductor really can't take it anymore.]
