Star Rail, Initial Single Pull Acheron

A white feather drifted down. Caelus caught it, a blessing from Robin. After receiving this power, he merged it with his own Harmony and Trailblaze abilities.

"It seems another voice has emerged within the symphony of Order. Penacony's first, and last, dissonance."

Welt adjusted his glasses as he spoke. The dissonance he referred to was, of course, Trailblaze. Penacony was born from Trailblaze's arrival, and now, it was Trailblaze's power that would bring about the final cleansing.

"I know this one! It's Harmony X Trailblaze!"

March 7th immediately raised her hand. As she answered, Caelus's power began to manifest. A long phantom train appeared in the sky. It wasn't the Star Rail Express entering the dream, but rather the embodiment of Trailblaze's power.

"Penacony, Train Cleanses the World!"

Caelus shouted, unleashing the power in his hand with all his might. Dan Heng's mouth twitched, and he nearly rolled his eyes and fainted. Caelus's move's name seemed plagiarized, but he had no proof.

The phantom train transformed into a long dragon. After circling above everyone, it flew straight towards Sunday. He was currently in his giant form, and the phantom train perfectly covered his entire head. Caelus watched as the train's head slammed into the forehead of his 'brother-in-law.'

Sunday, who had been sitting at the edge of the Penacony Grand Theater, lost his balance from the impact. He raised his hands, leaning back as he looked up at the Penacony sky, now bathed in daylight.

"So, why does life slumber?"

Sunday murmured to himself. He had lost, defeated by a multitude of factors, but he held no grudges. He had lost fair and square, the Star Rail Express had won fair and square, and the help they received was earned by those individuals themselves.

"Because one day, we will awaken from our dreams."

Caelus looked at everyone around him. They all nodded in agreement. He spoke the answer to Sunday, who then began to fall from the sky above the Grand Theater. His body separated from the giant form. The Choir of Harmony was no longer his power, and he could no longer maintain the giant's appearance.

A familiar voice descended from the sky. Sunday looked at his sister, her wings spread behind her, as she plunged into his embrace. The two embraced as they fell.

"Brother, it's time to wake up."

Robin said softly. Sunday closed his eyes in contentment. The brother and sister fell together, hitting the ground with a dull thud, leaving a deep crater.

"No, I thought Robin would carry him up and fly away, like that one thing..."

Caelus watched the scene from the edge of the crumbling Penacony, completely stunned. He thought Robin was going to save his 'brother-in-law,' but this looked like a double suicide. The sight gave him goosebumps. Fortunately, he had fallen like this himself when he first arrived and nothing had happened.

"Phew, it's finally over. I feel so tired. I've been in Penacony for so long, and besides the first night when I just played around, I've been rushing around the rest of the time."

March 7th stretched lazily, greeting the rising sun. Caelus felt the same. His time here had been limited to a brief "date" with Firefly and Robin, followed by continuous battles. It had been a thrilling spree of combat.

"Yeah, it was supposed to be a vacation, but look how it turned out. We should be able to rest now."

Caelus said, walking over to Firefly. She had already removed her Sam armor and returned to her cute and charming appearance.

"My biggest gain from coming to Penacony is having a beautiful girlfriend like you."

Caelus said, holding Firefly's hand. Firefly gave him a faint smile and rested her head on his chest.

"Me too, Caelus. I'm so happy to have met you here, to adventure and fight alongside you, and to change the destinies of so many people."

Firefly's emotions were genuine. If it were just dating Caelus, there would be affection, but it wouldn't be this deep. Now, they truly relied on each other for survival, forging an unbreakable bond.

Chapter 127: It's Monday, Time to Go to Work

"The Family's power is at its weakest right now, and the Corporation's fleet has already surrounded Penacony. If I'm not mistaken, the next event will be a clash between these two forces. The Star Rail Express should be out of it."

Welt spoke. When he was imprisoned in the dream by Sunday, he had recorded his conversation with the Dream Master and sent it to Caelus. Caelus then found time to send it to Aventurine's phone. With such solid evidence, the Corporation naturally wouldn't hold back any longer. They had been blocked from entering Penacony by the Taiyi Dream, but now that the dream had shattered, it was naturally the Corporation's time.

"I feel like I'm working for the Corporation again."

Caelus felt that the Corporation was like the Galactic Police, arriving only after everything was over. However, thinking of Aventurine's last-minute assistance, he didn't mind.

"Never mind, my wife is a shareholder, so it's not like I'm losing out."

Caelus spoke his true feelings. The more money the Corporation made, the more the shareholders received, and Asta would receive even more. When he married her, all that money would eventually be his.

"You're smiling so disgustingly."

March 7th, as usual, ruined the moment for Caelus. Caelus immediately went to spank her. March 7th was too tired to even run now, so she simply gave up and exposed herself, as if inviting him to hit her. Caelus found it less interesting when she didn't resist, so he stopped teasing her.

"I'm going to check on Robin."

Caelus said to Firefly. Firefly nodded, and the two left the Penacony Grand Theater together. They jumped from the entrance of the theater, hand in hand, Caelus guiding their direction towards where Robin and Sunday had just fallen.

After so much time, Caelus had almost forgotten that he could fly. Perhaps it was due to the disappearance of Order's power, but he could now use the power of the Stellaron to fly as he pleased.

Caelus and Firefly landed smoothly, only to find Robin lying unconscious on the ground. Several other Family staff members were around her. As for the Oak Family, led by Sunday, all its members had been transformed into the power of the Choir of Harmony. Perhaps they still had a place in some dream, but their physical bodies in reality were undoubtedly useless.

Caelus, concerned for Robin, didn't bother to ask where Sunday had gone and immediately joined the Family members in rescuing her. Robin was eventually taken to the suite where she had been resting and was well cared for.

"Mmm..."

Robin let out a soft murmur. She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, feeling as if she had returned to her residence. But dreams didn't require sleep, and she didn't know what was happening to her.

"Little Bird, you're awake."

Caelus's voice reached her, instantly putting Robin at ease. She didn't question why a man was in her bedroom and immediately got up from the bed, sitting up to look at her side.

"Caelus, am I in a dream?"

Robin saw Caelus's familiar face. She was asking about her current state, wanting to know if it was a dream or reality.

"Yes, this is still within the beautiful dream."

Caelus nodded. Hearing him say that, Robin guessed that the beautiful dream had returned to normal operation. The Taiyi Dream might have been perceived as just a nightmare by people, but as long as Sunday's actions were not exposed, Penacony would remain a vacation paradise.

"How long have I been asleep?" Robin asked.

"About 40 system hours."

"You've been with me the whole time?"

Robin was surprised she had slept for so long. Seeing Caelus waiting for her to wake up, her gaze toward him softened considerably.

"Not entirely. I took some time to go on a date with Firefly."

Caelus said cheerfully. Dating Firefly had been quite rewarding. He was a man who balanced things, and his affection for Robin didn't mean he disregarded everyone else's feelings.

"You're quite honest."

Robin said, deliberately putting on a stern face. Although Caelus hadn't stayed with her the entire time, she was happy to hear the truth.

"Where's my brother?"

Robin suddenly thought of her brother. If he were still around, Caelus wouldn't be the one accompanying her; they would have fought. Whether as her suitor or as the villain who messed up her brother's dreams, they would have fought on sight.

"I haven't seen him either. Do you remember anything before you passed out?"

Caelus shook his head in negation. By the time he saw Robin, Sunday was already gone. Later, the Express crew had searched several times but found no trace of Sunday, as if he had vanished from both dreams and reality.

Some said Sunday was taken and imprisoned by the Family. Others claimed the Corporation had captured Sunday during the chaos as a bargaining chip. In any case, there were all sorts of rumors, but no evidence.

"I… I remember my brother acting as a shield for me, but I still passed out."

Robin rubbed her head as she spoke. Logically, she shouldn't have fainted just from falling. She wasn't sure if it was the influence of Sunday's power of Order.

"The doctor said it might be due to exhaustion. You broadcasted the voice of Harmony throughout Penacony. You're not an Envoy, so you naturally overexerted yourself."

Caelus picked up a cup of berry ice cream and handed it to Robin. It wasn't suitable for a patient who had just woken up, but this was a dreamscape, so there weren't so many concerns. Of course, he would give her whatever she liked.

"How come you're fine?"

Robin took the ice cream and said, scooping some into her mouth with a spoon, regaining some of her sense of taste as she curiously awaited Caelus's answer.

"I'm a Stellaron Hunter!"

Caelus patted his chest. Robin couldn't help but laugh. She had seen many planets devastated by Stellarons, but she had never imagined a Stellaron could become a person.

"Pfft, hehe."

"I, I need to go find my brother."

After laughing, Robin remembered she still needed to find her brother. She immediately got out of bed. Her clothes were still the same set as before. Caelus hadn't taken advantage of her; he had only taken off her high heels.

As Robin was about to leave, Caelus, naturally, accompanied her as her partner. The Oak Family was finished, and now the Iris Family was in charge. This was the family that Firefly had sought refuge with under her alias. These people were relatively easy to talk to. Once Caelus revealed his identity as a Child of Harmony, they had nothing more to say.

After all, these people had lived for so long, and none had ever seen anyone glimpsed by the Aeon Xipe. Who knew what kind of deal Caelus had made with Xipe? As a family belonging to the Path of Harmony, no one dared to risk their lives challenging the authority of an Aeon.

Chapter 128: Not a Beautiful World

After leaving the temporary residence in the small theater, Robin arrived on the streets of Golden Hour. Despite all that had happened, the dream world remained prosperous. The Family members had quickly restored order, as if nothing had occurred.

Robin was dressed just like she was when she went out on a date with Caelus, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses so no one could recognize her.

Seeing that the beautiful dream was still intact, Robin felt relieved. At least Sunday's actions hadn't caused widespread panic. Although the Oak Family was gone, there were still members of other families who relied on the beautiful dream to survive. If Penacony's dreams disappeared, many people would be displaced.

After walking for a short while, Robin saw someone holding a sign by the roadside. Upon closer inspection of the sign's content, Robin was stunned.

"Seeking a 'Shamatte' Singer – Generous Reward!"

"Ah, Caelus, are they looking for you?"

Robin asked doubtfully. The only thing she could associate with 'Shamatte' was Caelus, and a singer at that. It must be him.

"I think so. Many people have been looking for me these past few days," Caelus nodded.

"Why?"

"It seems my singing of that song gained quite a few fans. They all want to know who sang it."

Caelus said proudly. When he sang in the Dream of Taiyi, his demonic voice spread throughout Penacony. At first listen, it was maddening, but after repeated listening, people inexplicably started singing along in their hearts.

Even more miraculously, although most people had forgotten the existence of the Dream of Taiyi, they still remembered the song. Its destructive power was terrifying.

"Are you sure they're fans and not enemies?"

Robin said with a troubled expression. She felt that if someone forced her to listen to such a song, she would definitely take action. The music of Harmony also had physical damage.

"Hey, you misunderstand me. Don't you think my singing is good?"

"It's… good, I guess."

Robin said against her better judgment, but she didn't entirely abandon her conscience, hence the vague description.

Caelus felt Robin lacked sincerity, so he took her hand and held it. Robin didn't resist. They had held hands so many times before; this wasn't any different. Moreover, after such a great crisis, her mindset had also changed.

The two soon arrived at the entrance of the Penacony Grand Theater. Robin didn't go to Morning Dew Mansion. She knew that if she wanted to find clues about her brother, this was the most likely place, as it was where Sunday spent the most time and the origin of all his plans.

Even after the major events, the Penacony Grand Theater still floated in the air. However, according to reliable information Caelus received, the Stellaron had been sealed. While Stellarons were a catastrophe for ordinary planets, they were merely valuable items to the Corporation. They could even auction off Stellarons. With the Corporation in control, Penacony felt much safer than under the Family.

Caelus didn't need to worry about the fate of this Stellaron. It hadn't sent him any messages, indicating it was likely happy to accept its fate.

After Robin revealed her identity, the Family members guarding the Grand Theater let them in. Few people knew about what Sunday had done, and Robin's identity as a Child of Harmony was recognized by everyone. She had never betrayed Harmony, so her status remained supreme.

After entering the Grand Theater, Caelus and Robin searched everywhere, but found nothing. Someone like Sunday wouldn't hide in the Grand Theater. It wasn't until they reached the stage area of the previous great battle that they found a book on the ground.

Robin picked up the book and began to flip through it. Upon seeing the familiar handwriting, her body trembled. Caelus quickly hugged her shoulders from behind, giving her support.

"This is indeed my brother's handwriting. It's a scripture, likely something he came up with himself."

"And these red bloodstains... he really..."

Robin's voice trembled as she spoke, choking back sobs. The thought of her brother injured and missing pained her deeply.

"You still have me."

"Yes, I still have you."

Robin didn't deny Caelus's words. Sunday was her only family. The Dream Master who raised them was likely gone, vanished along with the Oak Family. Robin suddenly found herself utterly alone.

But it was at this moment that Caelus stood by her side, becoming her sole pillar of support. Although he had come with the intention of pursuing her, who was to say it wasn't a good intention? Robin and Caelus had been through so much together; she had long seen his character. If he were a wicked person, it would have been impossible for him to shatter Sunday's beautiful dream. In their final confrontation, it was almost entirely Caelus who broke through the deadlock. Robin's heart was already set on him.

"Ever since we reunited on the Dreamflow Reef, I've had a vague premonition. Perhaps our paths would never cross again. It's just... I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

Robin said with a bitter smile. She didn't possess precognitive abilities, but she felt a divergence in the paths of Sunday and herself. She never imagined Sunday would directly become a pawn of Order, but the crucial point was that Sunday wasn't doing evil; he was acting out of good intentions.

"What are your plans for the future?" Caelus asked.

"I... I don't know. It's all so overwhelming right now."

"We all – you, me, my brother, all of us – we all harbored good intentions, wanting to do our best in everything, and we gave our all for it... yet all those good intentions ultimately only brewed tragedy."

"This world... it truly isn't beautiful at all."

Robin shook her head bitterly. If Caelus weren't there to share her innermost thoughts, she felt she would have been crushed by the pressure. For her, the current situation wasn't over just because the battle was won; perhaps the battle's end was merely the beginning.

"Then let's work to make this world the way we envision it. I will always support you."

Caelus said, holding Robin's hands. His gaze told Robin that it was precisely because of this unwavering will to trailblaze that Xipe had taken notice of him.

"You're right. There's still so much we can do."

Robin's confidence was bolstered by Caelus's encouragement. If it were just her, she might not have been able to do it, but who was Caelus? He was the first person Xipe had paid attention to in nearly a thousand years.

This was different from an Envoy. Envoys were figureheads, administrators. Caelus, however, was someone with potential. To put it exaggeratedly, as long as an Envoy wasn't completely out of their mind, they would show some respect to someone like Caelus. It wasn't that they needed to look up to Caelus; it was a gesture of respect to Xipe. After all, their master had cast their gaze upon him. Normally, Envoys would also want to know why Caelus was worthy of their master's regard.
