Honkai Impact: Dreams and the Holy Grail, but the Servant is Rei.

Archer [Potio] and Assassin [Sambo], who were standing nearby, also cast curious glances.

"Don't blame me, Uncle with cold legs..." Meng Weiyu muttered to herself.

"Under the influence of the star core, only one city remained there—Beloberg, whose name symbolizes hope and resistance in the mythology of my home planet (Beloberg means 'god of light' in Slavic mythology)."

“In Arillo-VI, it is known as the ‘City of Eternity’.”

"Great name!" Hanunu praised, while Sambo nodded seriously.

Meng Weiyu glanced again at the "Masked Fool" in the game who called himself "Uncle Old Man with Cold Legs." The other party's exaggerated acting made his face twitch.

Then I'll go all out and drop some more bombshells!

The thought flashed through Meng Weiyu's mind and then became unstoppable.

He really wanted to see Sambo's surprised expression come through his exaggerated acting!

"Even Beloborg did not completely escape the continuous influence of the star core. Later, the rifts in the interdimensional space—the Rifts—gradually spread to the main city area, devouring the above-ground and underground areas of Beloborg and generating monsters."

"Their former ruler, the former Great Guardian Cocolia, was bewitched by the Star Core and almost destroyed the entire civilization."

As she spoke, Meng Weiyu stared at [Hanunu] and used light to observe the assassin [Sangbo], anticipating the change in his expression.

To his disappointment, the other person maintained a serious and curious expression throughout.

The next second, a notification came from the system in his mind, the [Entertainer's Glossary]!

[Outer Territory Pioneer - White - Level 1 (9/10)]!

Chapter 82 Dreaming

"Uncle with rheumatoid arthritis, you've finally given yourself away..."

Noticing the system notification, Meng Weiyu smiled smugly to herself.

The fact that the former High Warden Cocolia was seduced by the Star Core in Beloborg is a secret known to very few. After all, in the information displayed in the Beloborg Museum, this former High Warden, who loved micro-management, is portrayed as sacrificing himself to resist the disaster caused by the Star Core.

Meng Weiyu understood this unavoidable measure quite well. If the former Great Guardian Cocolia were completely rejected, her designated successor Bronya would lose her legitimate status.

In this way, even with strong military force and deterrence, Bronya and lower-level leaders like Natasha will use the series of reforms they promote in the future as a pretext to create public opinion and secretly hinder the development and progress of the planet Arillo-VI.

Moreover, the external Interstellar Peace Corporation has been eyeing this planet, constantly trying to extract the greatest profits from its revival.

It's not easy for anyone...

Looking at the attentive [archer] Potio beside him, and then at the ravaged land ravaged by artillery fire, Meng Weiyu couldn't help but think that if it had been Oswaldo Schneider, the mad former [Nameless Guest], or a humanoid like the [Stone Boss] who had gone to Arilo-VI, instead of Toppa, the compassionate director...

Without the protection of the Stonehearts, who were willing to lower themselves by one level, how would Belloberg's story have ended?

Will the three pioneers of the new generation in the game meet a similar fate to those of Pinocchio and Mikhail?

“What a coincidence, I also spent quite a bit of time on the Yalilo-VI when I was reselling goods, and everything this handsome young man said is true.” At this moment, the assassin [Sambo] suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh?" [Hanunu] looked at the flamboyant man in front of her and raised an eyebrow.

"The Cancer of All Realms has blocked the voyages of the universe. It's not surprising that they could reach me by riding the Star Train with the power of 'Exploration'. But how did you get there?"

The leader of the resistance astutely noticed the hidden details in Sambo's words, which was also something Meng Weiyu was curious about.

Archer [Potio] sized up the smirking man beside him, revealing an expression that said, "Damn it, you sure have a lot of things hidden away."

"Hehe, I have a lot of rare treasures. As long as the price is right, just name your price and I'll tell you everything I know!" Assassin [Sambo] once again changed the subject.

"That being said, if something like today happened, I could deliver the goods ahead of schedule, and you can reimburse me afterwards," he said to [Hanunu] with a grin.

"Was it the same for you in Yalilo-VI?" [Hanunu] let out a cold "humph".

"Of course, the struggle in dire straits is what I consider the highest form of happiness (joy), after all, the anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage." The maskless [Masked Fool] revealed a fawning smile.

I wonder if this guy will try to get [Hanunu] to rename the future Pinocchio to Belloberg or something; that would be hilarious.

Seeing the slightly irritating look on "Uncle with Cold Legs," Meng Weiyu couldn't help but start making connections.

However, even if [Sambo] was a fictional historian who wrote about the Pleasure Star God Aha and the Pioneer Star God Akivili before his transmigration, Meng Weiyu would definitely stop him if he really had such a plan.

Even though he knew he was currently in the "script" of the Holy Grail War, and faced with the heavy history of Pinocchio that had been covered up, he still couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart that he wanted to have some fun.

"We've arrived," [Hanunu] suddenly said.

Meng Weiyu looked around in surprise and found that the scenery around her was still the same: a devastated land and a gloomy sky, with nothing changed.

He deactivated the projection of the flying sword, and the four of them landed back on solid soil.

With the combined blessing of [Pioneer Memory] and [Projection Magic], Meng Weiyu can greatly extend the duration of projected objects that do not possess [magic] by rewinding time. The level 110 [Sword Escape] transforms the projected flying sword into an extremely excellent means of transportation.

"It's a pity I can't ride a flying sword and dive downwards at an angle like in the movies, otherwise Grandpa Newton... no, I mean the late Mr. Lilta of the Genius Club might be so angry he'd come back to life," Meng Weiyu thought to herself.

After the battle with the True Stinging Insect swarm, the entries in Meng Weiyu's mind's [The Performer's System] did not change much.

The only thing that caught his attention was that [Outer Territory Pioneer - White - Level 1 (9/10)] was about to break through.

“Speaking of entries, I need to find an opportunity to meditate and carefully study what changes have occurred since becoming a Demi-Servant.” He shared his thoughts with Xi Lian.

"Partner, don't forget to study the scales on the True Stinger. If all else fails, we can ask Mr. [Hanunu] if there are any scholars in the resistance who understand [breeding] swarms," ​​Caster [Xilian] reminded us beside the system panel.

At this moment, [Hanunu] suddenly spoke up:

"We have reached the edge of a synesthetic dream. Please relax and feel the rise and fall of your body. We are about to enter a dream!"

"Are we just going to walk right in like this?" Meng Weiyu blurted out without thinking.

In the game's Pinocchio, he clearly remembered that everyone fell asleep lying in a bathtub-like device.

"Yes," [Hanunu] replied affirmatively.

The assassin [Sambo] next to him winked at him, as if to say, "Hey bro! I know what you're thinking!"

Slow down, focus on your breathing, and imagine a paradise, a dreamland—a 【Dream Town】!

【Hanunu】prompted Meng Weiyu and archer 【Potio】in a calm tone as they entered the dream.

After crossing an invisible zone, the scene before the four people changed:

They seemed to be walking on the deepest part of the ocean, each breath they exhaled producing corresponding bubbles, yet they did not feel suffocated.

A multitude of changing scenes intertwine, interspersed with countless muffled whispers of existence.

The world spun around him, and Meng Weiyu found himself in a city he knew very well!

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely unprepared to find himself in this scene!

It is an extremely luxurious city that never sleeps, and it is also the future Pinocone that the pioneers and others in the game went to!

Chapter 83 The Wisdom of Descendants

The unexpected change almost caused Meng Weiyu's brain to shut down. What happened to the history of Pinocchio? This change is too drastic.

He looked around at his surroundings: countless dazzling streaks of light streaked across the sky, above the clouds were layers upon layers of city outlines, and below the clouds were towering buildings and a constant stream of self-driving vehicles.

I and the Caster [Xi Lian] in my mind have returned to this place again—Pinocchoni's [Golden Hour]!

The unforgettable experience of the first Holy Grail War was still vivid in Meng Weiyu's mind. Unlike last time, a large number of pedestrians were passing by, and the nearby shops were crowded with people.

Meng Weiyu stared in shock at the scene before her, unable to distinguish whether the people in front of her were natives of this planet, corporate "criminals," or tourists heading to the "Grand Meeting Star" of Asdna.

As melodious music filled the air, Meng Weiyu felt that even the air here carried an atmosphere of decadence and debauchery.

Then he noticed that Assassin [Sambo] was looking at him with a grin, a smug look on his face that said, "Oh, I knew you'd be so surprised."

Meng Weiyu took a deep breath to calm her turbulent thoughts. It seemed she would have to find an opportunity to have a good chat with this "Masked Fool" or even this senior who was suspected of being the Pleasure Token Envoy.

Right now, there are more important things that urgently need to be confirmed!

If this is what prisoners like Hanunu and the natives of the Asdna system expect, then wouldn't all the efforts of the legendary Clockmaker Ragvolk Shar Mikhail have become a joke?

"Is this the future you've been hoping for, that 'Dream Town'?" Meng Weiyu asked Hanunu in a slightly trembling voice.

“I don’t know. This synesthetic dream is enormous, with twelve different moments and some areas we haven’t explored before.” The rebel leader shrugged, clearly not understanding the deeper meaning behind Meng Weiyu’s implied message.

"This is what it looked like when we first came here."

"Outside the Synesthetic Dream, lies the Pinocchio of the past, as reminisced by Mr. Mikhail! Inside the Synesthetic Dream, however, lies the new world created by Mr. Gopher!"

In the conference room-like screening room, Meng Weiyu, dressed in white and wearing the upper half of a "Fool's Mask," exclaimed in admiration.

"Only the two of you could unleash such a powerful Star-Piercing Treasure and create such a masterpiece..." he said softly.

Ruler [Mikhail] stared at the scene on the screen that he knew so well, and fell into a long silence without saying a word.

"Isn't this exactly what you and the entity behind you want to see?" Ruler [Gopher Wood] pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his tone calm and collected.

"It was my lord who found this format interesting. Apart from summoning the two of you, I didn't participate in anything else," Meng Weiyu corrected.

[Gopher Wood] glanced at the young man beside him, then turned his gaze back to the screen and said nothing more.

Meng Weiyu didn't seem to care much about their reactions; he resumed his "enjoying the performance" mode, and the whole room fell silent...

"Hehe." A moment later, [Gopher Wood] suddenly chuckled in the room.

"Mr. Gopher Wood?" Meng Weiyu, dressed in white, frowned slightly.

“I suddenly changed my mind. Since none of this is what your faith in the Lord wants, why not make this ‘script’ a little more ‘interesting’?” At that moment, Gopher Wood’s glasses seemed to be flashing white light.

“Ragwalker.” The dark-haired “chicken-winged old boy” turned to his old friend with whom he had parted ways, “If they can also defeat the [Stone] boss, what do you think this descendant of the nameless guest and [Outer Territory Pioneer] who plays you will build Pinocchio into?”

“I don’t know what he looks like, but judging from the information this young man in white has given us, he’s definitely not the current lavish and decadent ‘Star of the Grand Event’,” Mikhail said calmly.

"When history moves to the next scene, I will restore the synesthetic dream to the original [Dream Town]. I want to see just how far this little guy playing [Mikhail] can go."

"You, or rather that being, have no objections, right?" Ruler [Gopher Wood] turned to look at [Meng Weiyu].

“Of course I have no objection.” [Meng Weiyu] gave a polite smile.

"After all, the story of Pinocchio, which continues to this day, was started by the original bodies of these two predecessors!"

Within the dream realm of Lianjue, Meng Weiyu exhaled a breath of relief.

Fortunately, this synesthetic dream was merely a "stage" set up behind the scenes. No matter how much makeup and embellishment were done, the essence of everything he and Caster "Xi Lian" encountered was nothing more than the second of the seven Holy Grail Wars mentioned by Aha.

Compared to the first Holy Grail War, this Holy Grail War is significantly more difficult. Not only has it become a seven-on-seven battle, but even now, the two sides are evenly matched.

So far, if you include the four suits of armor that have been destroyed, I have already experienced four battles!

Neither side had any Servants fall or leave the battlefield.

His eyes were somewhat dim, and that rule, which sounded like a divine revelation, surfaced in his mind at that moment:

[Everyone will depart from this one person, and that person alone will witness a miracle!]

Is this what they call "it's fate"?

Aside from the fact that "Lazarina was seriously injured," how many other things were destined to happen here? And how many of them were beyond his control?

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands patted Meng Weiyu's shoulders, jolting him awake from his low spirits.

"What's wrong? Handsome, did you think of something unpleasant from the past?" Assassin [Sangbo] teased him with a smile.

"The recent series of events has left me somewhat at a loss..." Meng Weiyu said, speaking the most truthful words imaginable.

Only then did he notice that Archer [Potio] and [Hanunu] were also looking at him with expressions of sympathy.

"I almost forgot, in their minds, [Xi Lian] has already been seriously injured and retired from the field, falling into a deep sleep." Meng Weiyu suddenly realized.

He briefly closed his eyes, somewhat curious about what expression the caster [Xi Lian] in his mind would have at this moment.

Unexpectedly, he saw a girl with pink hair and a purple dress next to the system panel studying the memory crystal in her hand with a serious expression.

"Partner, I've deciphered some of the babbling I heard while heading into the dream." Noticing Meng Weiyu's gaze, Caster [Xi Lian] looked up in the direction of his gaze.

They were saying, 'Come back... Mikhail...'

Chapter 84 [Morning Dew Mansion]

Compared to the initial shock of entering the synesthetic dream, Meng Weiyu felt every hair on her body stand on end.

After all, his role in this Holy Grail War is that of Mikhail!

Even now, his understanding of the current situation is only the tip of the iceberg.

The only thing he and Caster [Xi Lian] knew was that countless terrifying monsters and mind-blowing secrets were hidden beneath this iceberg.

As his thoughts raced, Meng Weiyu slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and apologized to the three people who were looking at him with a slightly apologetic expression.
