In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

What's the point of playing this game?!

There's absolutely no comparison between them!

Even so, the online debate has not stopped. Those who want to prove that "Columbia is nothing special" seem to want to find a video of a powerful figure fighting in history.

Thus, supporters and opponents clashed, generating massive traffic for Colombia and even attracting the attention of most people in reality.

It was under these circumstances that undercurrents began to stir…

-

In the pitch-black space, a beam of moonlight suddenly appeared from mid-air, instantly changing the surrounding environment. Plants radiating moonlight also covered the entire ground.

A new moon slowly appeared in the sky, with the girl's figure appearing and disappearing within it, before quickly falling from the sky.

"La~la~la~la la la~"

The melodious singing echoed in the air, and the moonlit maiden, with graceful dance steps, walked step by step towards the very center of this space…

It was a magnificent coffin!

The girl, dressed in heavy winter clothes, sang a beautiful song as she exhaled white, frigid breath, and finally gently lay down on the edge of the coffin.

It's a pity there were no cameras around; otherwise, such a beautiful scene would surely have become a world-shaking spectacle.

No one but Columbia could have done this.

It was after Columbia's appearance that figures began to appear in this space...

They were all dressed in heavy winter clothes, and although their positions were rather casual, they walked towards the most important coffin with almost the same pace until they were close to it.

"We gather here today to commemorate this special day that is about to begin..."

"Its arrival is of paramount importance to us, the 'Fools,' and is worth putting aside everything we are doing."

Seeing that no one spoke up, Sandonne naturally stepped forward from the crowd and took over the rooster's place in the winter night fool's play.

"Ha, that's easy for you to say. Do you even know how many jobs I turned down to get here on time?"

Sandone is the creator of the Fools in this world, and those beings he created naturally cannot refute Sandone on the spot, after all, they are all members of Sandone's Tea Party.

Therefore, the person who could utter this statement was not simply a member of the Fools, but rather someone who joined later…

Most of them were powerful individuals. Although they respected Columbia and Sandoni, their personalities led them to say things that were "indifferent."

The person who spoke was Diluc, the student council president of Levof Black.

Although nominally a member of the Fools, he became a special unofficial member because the number of executives was already full.

He received the same treatment as Matthias Mesa, the chairman of the Star Martial Festival Operations Committee.

Fan Xinglu, the "All-Knowing Net" of the Seventh Academy of the Realm Dragon, and Helga, the "Time-Rhythm Witch" and captain of the Star Hunter Guard.

"Well, don't say that. After all, if this is done, you won't have to work for the conglomerate anymore, right?"

Upon hearing Diluc's words, Matthias immediately stepped in to mediate, since his goals aligned with Colombia's, and pushing forward the plan was not unreasonable.

"Hmph, it's true that you don't have to work for the conglomerate anymore, but everyone here still has to work for themselves, right?"

Fan Xinglu had a smile on her face, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking, but her next words immediately made the atmosphere in the room tense.

"After all... the conglomerate is about to be destroyed!"

"This day of destruction is truly memorable! A new era is about to begin!"

Everyone present, upon hearing these words, either smiled or remained expressionless.

Only one person stood there, looking pale, not moving an inch... or rather, not daring to move at all.

Isn't that Helga, the captain of the Star Hunter Guard?

Seeing so many oddballs gathered together, Helga felt that this world was doomed, or rather...

It's over!

Columbia & Sandonne/Academic City: Chapter 93 The Executors' Preparations

"That's right."

"If this year's Star Martial Festival can proceed smoothly, the conglomerate will become a thing of the past."

Sandonne's voice rang out at that moment, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

The doll-like girl slowly walked forward to the vicinity of the huge coffin where Columbia was lying. She gently touched the edge of the coffin with her index finger and began to walk around it.

"This coffin is not meant to bury a person, nor a generation of star veins, but an entire era..."

"This era belongs to integrated corporate conglomerates!"

There was no response from Sandonne, only complete silence. After all, no one could interrupt Columbia while she was singing, so only Sandonne could speak.

After a long while, as Columbia's voice grew softer and softer, the people around her gradually began to move, and Sandonne...

A smile naturally appeared on his face!

"It seems that some of our allies are unwilling to believe this?"

Sandonne's gaze slowly shifted to Helga, immediately making the guard captain's face even uglier.

After all, Helga didn't come to help the Fools voluntarily; she was coerced by Columbia and Fan Xinglu and had no other choice but to do so.

Although this Time-Rule Witch possessed exceptionally powerful abilities, she was still defeated by the power of the Three Months, and was even outmaneuvered by her own friend, Fan Xinglu…

Sandonne felt it was necessary to help the captain of the guard to quickly grasp reality and understand what the Fools were doing and to what extent they had accomplished.

"Well then, give our allies a brief account of what you've done, my executives."

Before anyone knew it, Columbia's figure had already disappeared from the edge of the coffin and arrived beside Sandoni, waving and smiling.

Then, without hesitation, Sandonne came to the side of the other four and stood between a man whose face was not visible and a woman with black and white hair.

This is also the order of the five executives…

team leader.

puppet.

servant.

Miss.

Son.

Although their numbers are much smaller than the Fatui in Genshin Impact, they are still among the strongest in this world.

At least, it won't easily tarnish the name of the Fools...

Well, except for the young master.

"The recruited team is flawless, numbering over ten thousand. Under my training, each member possesses the strength of the twelve members of the Initial Page. In special circumstances, they can even unleash abilities far exceeding their current strength!"

"In addition, there is a regular army, which, although only 20 strong, is fully capable of fighting head-on against the army under the conglomerate."

Captain Capitano, in addition to his daily training, has also been helping the Fools recruit soldiers and expand their influence.

It's only been less than a year; Capitano shouldn't have been able to do something like this. Clearly, someone is helping him behind the scenes…

"There are no problems with the development of weapons. I have completely cracked all the secrets of the conglomerate and the six academies, and on this basis, I have absorbed the knowledge of the six conglomerates to create new equipment that is ahead of them and can help the army achieve victory on the front line."

Unlike Capitano, Sandone, while possessing considerable combat capabilities, primarily served as a researcher.

By combining some of Teyvat's knowledge with the world's unique astral power technology, Sandonne also achieved his own innovation.

Furthermore, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the conglomerate, Sandone specially took out some of the more decent weapons from his newly developed weapons to exhibit... the armed dolls that appeared at last year's school festival!

However, the fact that they were able to be displayed means that they are not the most powerful weapons in Sandone's arsenal; after all, "only the most outdated weapons are allowed to be displayed."

"The intelligence on the conglomerates is accurate. I have already placed many people in the six conglomerates. Although they have not yet reached high positions, they have already gained considerable power and influence."

"If we let them unleash their true abilities, we can at least paralyze the conglomerate for a few hours. During this time, we can launch a full-scale attack on the conglomerate, carrying out a decapitation strike, and we can completely take them down in one fell swoop."

Arecino's work remained unchanged from that of her former servant. Although she possessed great strength, she was also adept at gathering intelligence.

Arecino was even able to collect special intelligence from within the conglomerate that wasn't recorded online but was written down on paper.

I heard that Arecino has built another fireplace house outside, seemingly intending to use it as a future base... But that has nothing to do with Sandone. She will definitely leave here in the future, and the Fools who remain will certainly continue to stay in this world.

They were considering their future, and Sandonie had no objections whatsoever.

"The negotiations are almost over," Rosalyn's voice rang out at this moment. "During this time, I have traveled almost all over the world and contacted hundreds of countries under the control of the conglomerate, and have taken control of those high-ranking officials."

"If I really wanted to take action against the conglomerates, I would throw the whole world into chaos, and then I could fish in troubled waters..."

Every time these four executives spoke, the expressions of those around them changed, especially Helga, the captain of the city's security force.

How can this be?

The Fools are a newly established organization, less than a year old. How did they manage to accomplish all this in such a short time?

Helga was incredulous, but when a figure flashed into his vision, he immediately understood.

Sandogne!

That girl seems to be the daughter of a high-ranking executive in the conglomerate?

Helga absolutely did not believe that someone could gather such a huge amount of power in such a short time without even being discovered by the conglomerate.

If this person is Sandorne, then it seems fine? Because Sandorne really can do these things!

Army, weapons, intelligence, pawns...

In a very short time, the "Fools" have amassed a force that is in no way inferior to that of a conglomerate. If they were to cause trouble, the entire world would be affected!

And what about the last executive officer?

Helga couldn't help but shift his gaze to the young master. The actions of each of the previous executives had shocked the captain of the guard. Had this last executive also done something earth-shattering?

Finally, D'Artagnan spoke with a solemn expression.

“The whale… is fine.”

whale?

Is it the whale I'm thinking of?

Everyone before you was so serious, but why did things completely change when it came to you, young master?

Why are even whales appearing?

Columbia & Sandoni/Student City: Chapter 94 Why is Sandoni here?

whale.

People in this world may not know what the young master meant by that word, because in everyone's mind, it was just a sea creature.

But is this really the case?

Whether it was Diluc, Fan Xinglu, or even Matthias and Helga, they all couldn't help but turn their gaze to the young man before them...

They see nothing but utter stupidity!

It doesn't look like it!

Although this guy, who was called Young Master, didn't look like a smart person at all, you couldn't see any practical schemes on his clear face, only naivety and fighting spirit!

"I never expected there to be such a talented person among the executives?"

This was Fan Xinglu's first time meeting the young master, and she was even more excited than she had imagined after seeing the challenging expression on his face.

This guy is a battle maniac!

Just like me!

If it weren't for his special status, Fan Xinglu would definitely want to recruit him into her academy, educate him properly, and try to cultivate him into an outstanding disciple, who might even surpass her eldest disciple, Wu Xiaohui!

Unfortunately, it's impossible to do so in the short term, as the Phoenix Star Martial Festival is about to begin, and the Fatui's plan is about to reach its final step: defying the laws of nature...

bah bah bah!

What do you mean by defying the laws of nature? There are no laws of nature in this world!

If we had to pick one from the world's major powers, it would probably be the conglomerates.

After all, isn't the status of integrated corporate conglomerates in this world the same as the principles of nature in Genshin Impact?
