Argenti did not hesitate at all: he immediately called upon other Knights of Beauty and the believers who had joined the Amen in his own way.
These days, although Argenti couldn't make everyone believe in Beauty, he had persuaded most people to voluntarily join the Amen. Joining allowed them to feel a baptism of body and mind; even if it was for their own benefit, they were willing to join.
And after joining, when they thoroughly understood what the Amen was, the emotions they retained became even more steadfast.
There are gods and people with powerful strength in this universe, but the majority are ordinary people. For ordinary people, being able to feel even this little bit of power beyond the norm made them extremely ecstatic.
Precisely because of this, the believers of the Amen grew more and more numerous. With Argenti's call, many who received it responded immediately.
Since it hadn't been long since they separated from Pei Guang, the believers of the Amen were basically in the surrounding star systems, and many were even right in Penacony.
While Argenti called upon the believers, Pei Guang and Stelle headed directly to the final destination.
The two went to the final stage together. However, on the way to the final stage, whether guided by fate or because someone did something, March 7th and Firefly arrived here almost simultaneously.
March 7th: "Oh my? I didn't expect us to arrive at the same time."
Stelle put her hands on her hips: "Same time? I was the one who stepped in with my left foot first."
March 7th: "?"
Pei Guang: "Not a big problem. Since we've already arrived here, presumably we have to face the final enemy next, right? Let's see who this final enemy is~"
Firefly: "What will happen next?"
Pei Guang spread his hands: "Who knows? Maybe various enemies will pop out to stop us from sealing the Stellaron. The Family Heads, the Dreammaster, or maybe even a big bug popping out of thin air to stop us is possible."
March 7th: "Eww~ If possible, I still hope to encounter some normal enemies. Bugs or whatever are..."
Back on the Express, March 7th had been thoroughly disgusted by the True Sting.
Now fighting bugs again, leaving aside whether the appearance of these bugs was reasonable, just the bug juice flying everywhere after fighting them made her incredibly nauseous.
Although the final decisive battle might be approaching, because Pei Guang was there, everyone seemed very relaxed.
For March, the principle was very simple: it was impossible for Pei Guang to encounter an unbeatable enemy.
If even Pei Guang couldn't beat it, the rest of them would be done for too!
Pei Guang: "Anyway, it can't be Sunday. Sunday has already taken the Express and temporarily left Penacony. If he were rescued, there would definitely be a prompt."
The Astral Express was the player's safe house. If the safe house was attacked, the player would receive a message.
The four walked along the red carpet towards the final stage. However, behind the gate of the final stage was just a hall.
Several people walked to the hall and looked left and right; there was not a single person.
March 7th: "Eh? We won, so why is there no one here?"
While March 7th was confused, the Dreammaster's voice appeared in the space.
"Congratulations everyone on achieving victory. Now you are qualified to ascend the stage. Come! Let me witness the prowess of the Astral Express Trailblazers."
As the last word fell, the ceiling above them opened, and the hall beneath their feet suddenly rose. Looking up, the place they were flying toward was none other than their target, the Grand Theater.
"Huh? Uh? Huh??"
Accompanying March 7th's exclamation, looking at the getting closer Grand Theater, Firefly clenched her fists and looked at Pei Guang: "Is it... really okay?"
Pei Guang: "Don't know. Everything that needs to be prepared is prepared. Everything that could be looted along the way has been looted. Backup plans are also prepared. Although there are cases where we can't win due to plot progression, under normal circumstances, being fully prepared, I feel there shouldn't be too big of a problem."
Compared to Belobog and the Xianzhou Luofu, he had many more life-saving means.
Worst case scenario... a total party wipe? If they really wiped and everyone died, Pei Guang felt it wouldn't really matter.
If they didn't die, wasn't there still Pom-Pom outside? His Star Destroyer was also deployed to the periphery of this star system.
If his side really completely failed, that Star Destroyer could still give Penacony a big shot.
Listening to Pei Guang's answer, Firefly remained silent. Originally, she had the script given by Elio: whenever she completed a stage, the script would give her a hint for the next stage.
But because of Pei Guang, the script didn't exist at all, and she didn't know what she should do next.
Turning to look at the companions beside her, Firefly took a deep breath.
She didn't know if she was excited or nervous, but she knew that this time she was acting as Firefly. This time, she would completely perform this play belonging to herself as herself.
Stelle: "Don't be afraid. With Ah Guang here, I feel very stable."
March 7th: "Oh my~ Don't raise death flags for him before the big battle."
Stelle: "What? Can this battle kick Ah Guang out, or even make him transmigrate? If not, then we are invincible."
Pei Guang rolled his eyes.
Not applying debuffs to the enemy before the big battle was one thing, but applying them to their own people? Were they really not afraid that an accident would exile him to a different dimension?
Through communication, the four relieved their mutual nervousness.
Soon, this stage arrived at the Grand Theater.
The Grand Theater was empty. After exploring around, Pei Guang found it a bit interesting, as if guarding against something.
Whether it was jars or various searchable containers, there wasn't a single one.
Let alone jars, there wasn't even a single Memetic Entity, Sweet Dreams Troupe, or Dreamjolt Troupe member. Only a passage remained, leading straight to the Grand Theater.
Although these things were gone, it still didn't stop Pei Guang's actions.
Pei Guang seemed to have turned on auto-loot: anything he passed by that could be moved was stuffed into his storage space.
Immovable but looked good? No matter, take out a weapon and knock it; that's the way to easily obtain all items.
Although they were useless things, Pei Guang expressed that he had plenty of space left, so he just collected them casually.
When seeing the person in the center of the stage, the four people's footsteps faltered.
Because they saw a person who shouldn't be standing here: Robin.
Feeling everyone's gaze, 'Robin' looked up and revealed a smile at everyone.
Looking at Robin in the center of the stage, March 7th swallowed and asked worriedly: "Why is it Miss Robin? Where's Uncle Yang? Himeko? Why do I have a bad feeling?"
Pei Guang looked forward seriously.
Through the mini-map, Pei Guang confirmed the other party was Robin, but regretfully he couldn't see Robin's status. Himeko and Welt could see the location, but because Pei Guang hadn't been to their location, he couldn't determine their status well.
Stelle: "Is Robin an enemy?"
Firefly shook her head: "Doesn't look like it. When I contacted her before, I could feel her sincerity. Could she... be controlled? For example, by the power of Order?"
Pei Guang affirmed: "Don't know. There are many characters who cooperate well at first and then suddenly betray later. If she's controlled, we kill the one controlling her. If not... then we can only loudly ask her: 'You don't want anything to happen to your brother, right?'"
The four walked towards the centermost stage of the Grand Theater.
