"Firefly, it really is you! This is great!"
Stelle looked at the incredibly lifelike Firefly before her, her heart overflowing with excitement.
She had been wondering how long she would have to pull with tickets before she could get Firefly.
So they could play together on Douluo Continent.
She never expected the Sky Screen to be this amazing, directly summoning Firefly over.
"Stelle, I... am I dreaming?"
In Stelle's embrace, Firefly raised her little face. Her clear eyes were wide open as she stared at Stelle in disbelief.
She lifted a hand and gently pinched Stelle's cheek.
The soft sensation did not feel like a dream at all.
"Firefly, what do you mean by that?"
"If you can say that, does that mean you've regained the ability to dream?"
Stelle's eyes lit up as she hurriedly asked.
Firefly tried her best to hide her excitement. She nodded firmly and explained softly, "Not long ago, I don't know what happened, but my Entropy Loss Syndrome was completely cured."
"Silver Wolf and Kafka both found it unbelievable."
"They said there was a strange laugh that spread out from the cockpit."
"All my symptoms disappeared."
"At the time, I really wanted to tell you this good news."
"But Silver Wolf said you were participating in a game right now, so you wouldn't receive any messages."
"So I sent you a blessing first, then got ready to lie down and have a nice, wonderful dream."
"Stelle, am I really not dreaming?"
"I actually came here to take part in the game with you."
"This isn't... this isn't part of the script..."
"Hehe, Firefly, how could this possibly be a dream?"
"If your Entropy Loss Syndrome could be cured, why couldn't you come to my side?"
Stelle giggled, a smug expression rising on her face as though all of this had been her doing.
"Wow, Firefly, what an adorable little girl!"
"You're even cuter in person than you were on the Sky Screen!"
"My partner is right! We won the competition and received a reward—we cured your Entropy Loss Syndrome and even teleported you here to play with us."
"I've been really, really looking forward to meeting you!"
"I never thought my huge wish would come true so quickly!"
"Now my little heart is pounding like crazy!"
Mimi looked at Firefly, who was hugging Stelle, and hurriedly flew over while wagging her fluffy tail.
Her tiny felt-like hand gently rested atop Firefly's head. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she happily said, "Hello, Miss Firefly."
At that moment, Castorice also slowly walked over. She gave Firefly a slight nod in greeting, then quietly stood to one side.
"You're... Mimi and Castorice?"
"Aren't you..."
Firefly's voice was filled with astonishment.
After Stelle left Amphoreus, she used the power of Finality to change Firefly's fate and awaken her.
After waking up, the first thing Firefly wanted to know was what had happened to Stelle.
Silver Wolf told Firefly everything she had gathered about Stelle's experiences in Amphoreus.
Compared to the fact that her own Entropy Loss Syndrome had been cured, Firefly was even more shocked to see Mimi and Castorice by Stelle's side.
After all, in her eyes, Mimi and Castorice entering the cycle to prevent the birth of Iron Tomb and stop a great catastrophe from befalling the galaxy was an earth-shattering matter.
Seeing Firefly's astonished expression, Stelle gave a cheerful hum and spoke smugly, "Hehe~, of course! It was the reward I got after Galaxy Baseballer won the competition!"
"Aha was actually this generous?"
Firefly could not help but exclaim.
But as she watched Stelle smiling so happily, with Mimi and Castorice—two people who had chosen to sacrifice themselves to prevent the universe's destruction—standing here alive and experiencing a different kind of life.
If it weren't for the mission she still had with the Stellaron Hunters.
She would have wanted to find every possible way to join the Path of Joy.
She could never repay the debt she owed Aha!
Still, she was very much looking forward to the day Stelle embarked upon the Path of Joy.
When that time came, Stelle would surely set off an unprecedented tide of joy.
"Oh, right, Firefly."
"I've been saving this Oak Cake Roll, waiting to summon you so we could eat it together."
Stelle suddenly remembered something and dug the Oak Cake Roll she had won in a previous lottery out of her backpack.
"An Oak Cake Roll! Thank you, Stelle!"
Firefly felt that being able to adventure with Stelle and take part in the competition was already the greatest happiness imaginable.
She had never expected Stelle to have specially prepared an Oak Cake Roll for her.
She happily cupped her cheeks, her smile blooming like a flower, the whole of her seeming like an incomparably radiant painting.
Firefly looked at Mimi and Castorice beside her.
Rather than enjoying the cake alone, she gently beckoned to them with a warm smile, inviting them to share in this moment of happiness.
Just as the group was thoroughly enjoying the Oak Cake Roll.
The content on the Sky Screen changed once more.
[Top 1 Stelle vs. Top 3 Tang San]
[Round Three: Tang San's Death vs. Stelle's Death]
Firefly looked at the Sky Screen overhead.
Especially at Stelle's image—
She lay in Castorice's lap, her entire body having become golden energy that was slowly dissipating.
Firefly froze with the cake roll still between her teeth.
Her eyes trembled violently, and the smile vanished from her face in an instant.
"Firefly, don't worry."
"The Sky Screen is only showing scenes from someone's past or future for comparison with others."
"Then everyone votes, and whoever receives the most votes gets a reward."
"Hehehe, Firefly, you don't need to worry either."
"When Dan Heng and I first landed on Amphoreus, we were attacked. Back then, I didn't feel anything about death at all—I was still hopping around full of energy every day."
Seeing Firefly's expression, Stelle quickly set down her cake roll and explained.
Meanwhile, Castorice looked at that familiar scene on the screen.
Then she looked at the worried Firefly.
A complicated emotion flashed through her eyes.
She had not expected that Stelle, who could still joke with her and Dan Heng after learning of her own death on Amphoreus.
Would completely lose her composure when Firefly died before her eyes.
She did not care about her own death. What she had always cared about was the safety of the companions at her side.
Castorice sighed as she looked at the lively Stelle and the worried Firefly.
She bent down slightly and spoke softly to Firefly, "Miss Firefly, please don't worry."
"When this lady learned of her own death, she was still in the mood to joke with us."
"Those were only things of the past. Isn't she standing safely before us now?"
"That's right, that's right, Miss Firefly."
"Now that we've reunited, this isn't the time to be sad!"
"Such a cute little girl won't be cute anymore if she cries her face all blotchy!"
"You should smile more, Miss Firefly. When you wear that gentle smile, it can truly heal everyone's heart!"
Mimi also flew to Firefly's side, gently taking Firefly's slightly cool fingers in her felt-like little hands as she comforted her softly.
Firefly gently shook her head, looked at Stelle beside her, and nodded firmly. A gentle smile returned to her face.
"Mm, I understand. Thank you, Mimi. Thank you, Castorice."
Stelle curled her lips into a smile, her tone brimming with confidence.
"I don't think the Sky Screen even needs to compare any further. It can just give me the reward already."
"That Tang San guy has already lost to me twice!"
"Lady, it seems the Sky Screen's rules work this way. Why don't we wait a little longer?"
Castorice looked at Stelle's anxious expression and softly comforted her.
"Although I really don't want to see that kind of scene."
"This time, at least I can watch those things that happened in the past together with you, Stelle."
"This time... Stelle, with you here, I won't hide away alone and cry in secret anymore."
Firefly shifted closer to Stelle and gently rested her small, soft head against Stelle's shoulder.
A faint blush appeared on her face as she watched the coming events on the Sky Screen with anticipation.
Mimi also swayed her large head and curled up on Stelle's lap.
Castorice raised her head. A gentle breeze brushed past, lifting her purple hair.
The flowers on her body attracted several butterflies, which fluttered gracefully around her.
Castorice raised her head and looked at the Sky Screen, lost in thought.
There were four duels between Tang San and Stelle in total.
Xiao Wu's sacrifice and Firefly's three deaths—those were the reasons Stelle and Tang San had for reviving one another.
And next, it would show Stelle and Tang San's deaths, as well as the scenes of them being brought back to life.
Then, would it show the scene of her entering the Land of Death, finding Stelle's soul lost in the Underworld, bringing her out of the Land of Death, and reviving her?
The first two rewards were both related to Firefly.
Then perhaps the later rewards would allow her to regain the authority of the Demigod of Death?
No longer a curse that killed with a single touch!
