"Take me to find the remains of that Glamoth Iron Cavalry. As for the other mistakes you've committed, make amends for them yourself."
"Yes, Your Eminence."
Gopher Wood nodded, then slowly stood up and made a gesture of invitation.
"Please follow me."
"Alright. Elysia, you guys go ahead with your business first, I'll come find you in a bit~"
Kiana nodded slightly, then turned to Elysia and the others.
"Mhm~ Okay~ But you have to be quick, okay~♪"
"Mhm~"
After responding, Kiana dispersed the barrier, then looked toward the bench at the top of the steps and shouted at the back of a silver-haired girl:
"Stop eavesdropping, why don't we go together?"
The girl visibly stiffened, then slowly turned her head, looked around, and finally pointed at herself in a slightly dazed manner.
Kiana nodded with certainty, causing the silver-haired girl to walk over somewhat 'timidly'.
"Excuse me... is there something I can help you with?"
The girl's tone was soft and gentle, and her voice wasn't very loud, as if she were a bit socially anxious.
Seeing that Firefly was still acting, Kiana leaned close to her ear.
"Glamoth Iron Cavalry, Stellaron Hunters Sam, Firefly—which name do you prefer I call you by?"
"!!!"
Firefly's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously raised her hand, but Kiana pressed it down with one hand.
"I have no ill will toward such a cute girl like you, so relax."
After whispering in Firefly's ear, she slowly took a step back and gave her a playful wink.
"Gopher Wood, bring her along as well."
"As you wish."
Gopher Wood then brought both Kiana and Firefly into the Primal Dreamscape.
Inside the massive Dewlight Pavilion, a purplish-red crystalline egg was suspended, connected by countless red fleshy filaments.
"Seeing it with my own eyes... Gopher Wood, you really were able to go through with it back then."
"Because this power was necessary."
Gopher Wood didn't deny it, admitting it quite frankly.
"Don't do these things anymore. Even if you do, it's useless, because there is no such thing as an absolute beautiful dream. Even a beautiful dream has shadows gnawing at it that the dreamer doesn't notice. This is the law of the universe, and no one can change it easily."
"..."
Gopher Wood fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then asked:
"Even you cannot?"
"No. Stop dwelling on those things. Instead of that, spend your time finding a few reliable people to help you manage Penacony and share the pressure. If you turn into a psychotic lunatic again, I'll really have to wipe you out."
Kiana waved her hand impatiently.
Even if she could, she wouldn't tell him. Why give him hope? He'd just spend all day obsessing over that bullshit utopian dream of his.
Everyone in Penacony was responsible for this kid turning out like this; otherwise, what a good person he would have been.
"Understood."
Gopher Wood tactfully shut his mouth.
Kiana glanced at Gopher Wood, then, still uneasy, went into his subconscious to correct those extreme ideas of his.
There shouldn't be any more problems now, right?
If talking didn't work, then a forced correction would have to do.
After straightening out his subconscious, Kiana returned to the outside world, bypassed the somewhat dazed Gopher Wood, and arrived beside Firefly, who had reached the base of the insect egg.
Kiana raised her fair palm and made a grasping motion toward the insect egg above—
A massive golden hand appeared abruptly and grabbed the egg.
Crack— Crack crack—
Under the pressure of the Imaginary Hand, the egg was soon covered in cracks and finally, unable to withstand it, shattered completely.
A Sam armor with a black, gray, and red color scheme and a ferocious appearance fell from above, carrying red energy.
"Glamoth Iron Cavalry..."
Firefly's pupils shrank, and she murmured in a low voice, falling into a daze.
Clearly, she hadn't expected that inside the egg would be the assimilated form of a former comrade... "This one is a fake..."
With a wave of Kiana's small hand, the Imaginary Hand in the air directly grabbed The Propagation Sam in its palm, making it impossible for it to break free no matter what.
"Next is... destruction..."
Kiana extended her other hand toward The Propagation Sam and spoke slowly.
A purple destruction bullet hit the struggling Propagation Sam, and then, starting from its head, The Propagation Sam turned into light fragments and gradually disappeared.
And the Stellaron inside its chest was taken out by Kiana at the very moment it was about to be destroyed by the destruction energy.
