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

Even with the heartbeat, a harmonious seven-colored force flashes in parallel.

Liu Ying took a deep breath, her expression tense and her brows furrowed: "There's no mistake, this is it."

"I'm sorry for not greeting you sooner, Ms. Firefly." Gopher turned around and greeted her with a smile.

"It's you..." Liu Ying frowned slightly.

There's no mistake, he's not the real Gopher Wood, nor is he some other shadow; he's clearly the Law Decree No. 3 who was with her just now.

She understood.

"Another road also leads here."

Gopher remained silent, simply scrutinizing her intently.

[Star: No way... After all that fuss, we're still going to fight?]

Xing gritted her teeth, almost laughing in anger.

"I never expected this. Do I actually have the same potential as March Seven? Tsk... Can't these opponents I've encountered on my journey disappoint me just this once?"

[Sambo: Finally, he's dropping the pretense and laying his cards on the table?]

[Silver Wolf: Wait, why does Firefly seem like she didn't notice?]

[Firework: What was Gopher doing all that time? What he said earlier didn't seem fake, the family even admitted to things like the Star Core. If you wanted to fight Firefly, wouldn't it have been better to launch a sneak attack when she wasn't looking? Wouldn't it have been better to just repeat the history of AR-214? Why did you step in now? Did all that showing her around before even starting the whole thing mean? Is this some kind of martial ethics? Besides, I thought you were going to play me, but you weren't. Aren't you just playing me?!]

[Star: Are you even speaking human language?!]

[Gopher: As you said. What I just revealed, whether about the Star Sea or my expectations for the righteous path, is not an exaggeration. But at the same time, I must do my utmost for the descent of the gods. And the Third Law also has its mission.]

[March 7th: Um... I remember Dahlia said that the third law was a strike like a cascading fire, right?]

[Star: Yingbao, it's time to give up!]

The firefly looked up at the "heart" above its head: "What is this?"

This thing is too complex; it's definitely not just a simple reproductive force.

After appearing here, Gopher was no longer as humble as before; his arrogance was evident in his words.

He crossed his arms, as if admiring a work of art forged by a demon, his expression a mixture of satisfaction and disgust: "It is the fear that people do not want to recall, the 'pupa of death' of the global locust plague."

His voice was high-pitched and powerful, like the master of ceremonies at an unveiling ceremony: "The [Dream Master's] fiery strike, like a cascading waterfall, is hidden behind the stained-glass window, waiting to be pierced and unleash another global locust plague!"

"!" Did the words "global locust plague" really hit his ears? Liu Ying's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to sense the situation behind the huge floor-to-ceiling stained-glass window.

Gopher stared at her, and the harmonious, colorful power silently enveloped Firefly's mind.

The firefly suddenly saw a scene that had not yet happened.

Gopherwood sat cross-legged on the ground, his body bursting with pure blue torchlight. The enormous and terrifying blow not only knocked down the stained-glass windows, but it also tore apart the entire dream, allowing the starry sky of the Milky Way to be seen. The palace, apart from the swarm of insects that erupted, would be completely destroyed!

This has already exceeded the limit of her strength.

"!" Liu Ying opened her eyes, clutching her chest in surprise and disbelief, and asked herself blankly, "How could the [Dream Master] be so powerful?"

[Star: That colorful light... could it be the Dream Master using a colorful curse to interfere with Firefly's mind and scare her?]

[Yao Guang: Logically speaking, there's no need. The dreamer commands the combined power of over 10 members of the Oak family; they shouldn't be unable to muster even such a powerful attack. Given the current situation, bluffing is unnecessary, and showing mercy is equally unnecessary.]

[Star: But that rainbow curse couldn't have been just to help Firefly understand the situation, could it? Why? What other scheme could he possibly have up his sleeve?]

Liu Ying was deeply shaken. She said to Gofemu, "We have to stop him."

Gopher was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying slowly, "Perhaps, it's to stop me."

"As expected..." Liu Ying's eyes grew even sharper.

[Hanabi: No, you really thought he was a teammate just now?]

Hanabi blinked, once again stunned by her naivety.

Could this person have accidentally let their mind go completely blank while on a date with Little Gray Hair, and still hasn't snapped back to reality?

[Jingyuan: It's hard to find a child with such a pure heart these days.]

[Black Swan: Hmm... Eriol was right not to give Miss Firefly too much of a script.]

[Star: Huh? Seeing you suddenly made me think... if Dahlia had recklessly led you into this place back then, would Firefly be safe?]

[Black Swan: ...The life of a Memory Receiver is also a life; a memetic body is not immortal.]

[Star: Sigh, what a pity... cough cough, just kidding. Ms. Goose, you've helped the train so many times, how could I possibly harm you?]

[Hanabi: I think this reason is quite sufficient, isn't it?]

Gofemu said in a deep voice, "I will settle this matter on his behalf—this thought, together with the power outside the window, constitutes a complete [law]."

"...Laws?" Liu Ying crossed her arms. To be honest, she never understood what this thing meant.

Gopher nodded: "Everything I saw along the way was not prepared for you, but for me—to give you justice."

[Star: That's really confusing... Pause the screen for a moment, let me think about it.]

[March 7th: No, it really stopped? Why is the director being so nice to you?]

[Star: It was prepared for the law, but the ultimate purpose is to give Firefly justice... He's saying that he'll first show her that no matter what Gopher chooses, her final fate is only this one path, and then use this to make Firefly understand that her fate is also subject to the influence of reproduction? To tell her that she's not wronged at all?]

[Su Chang: Huh? It seems that's really the case!]

Liu Ying snorted coldly: "...I don't see where the fairness lies."

Gopher Wood smiled faintly: "Ms. Firefly, I suppose you've also pondered fate."

"I don't think it can be an excuse for anything," Liu Ying said firmly. "Even if the ending is predetermined, we can still decide the process ourselves."

Gopher Wood gently shook his head: "This is nothing but self-deception—you've never changed the process itself."

He stepped forward, walked to the edge of the pulpit, and said earnestly, "Standing before this choice, you and I, no matter how many times we have to do it again, will only make the same decision—"

He shrugged and said persuasively, "At that time, we were already shaped by the past and believed that it was the only correct path."

"All the past you leave behind has already determined your future."
