Original short video of Collapse Iron, the defense of the forest world is completely broken

In the video, Walter also expressed his doubts: "The star core? Pinocene is unobstructed, a well-connected interstellar hub, and there seems to be no sign of contamination. How could it be related to the star core?"

Gallagher shrugged. "You're absolutely right, so why don't you guess what this means?"

"Has the star core been sealed?" Xing offered his guess.

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7: It seems very likely. Didn't Lady Black Tower also collect a star core before? Back at the space station, that star core didn't seem to cause any problems, did it?]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7th: Moreover, since entering Xing's body, there haven't been any problems.]

[Starry Sky Railway - Star: A mere star core? Watch me crush it with my bare hands! (So powerful, amazing.jpg)]

[Starry Sky Railway - March 7th: Hey, I just said a few words to you, and you're already getting all worked up!]

"I'll just take this as a beautiful vision. If it were true, I wouldn't need to extend an invitation to you all."

Gallagher sighed, looking even more dejected.

"Dreams don't just appear out of thin air. If we compare the Realm of Memories to the ocean, then building a land of dreams is like filling in soil and creating land in a surging ocean."

"To achieve this feat, the only way is to use the Star Core, unless the messenger of 'Memory' or 'Mystery' intervenes."

"Moreover, this isn't something that can be accomplished simply by making a wish. It requires a considerable level of knowledge, along with a significant amount of time and manpower, to do it so flawlessly. Now you understand, right..."

"The current 'Star of the Gathering' is none other than the core disaster of Asdna."

"The Star of the Grand Gathering... is the Star Core Disaster?" March 7th looked shocked.

Seeing that March 7th still didn't quite understand, Gallagher wasn't in a hurry and slowly began to explain.

"The story begins long ago. After the Watchmakers liberated the border prison, they were at a loss as to how to build Pinocone from scratch, and they were beset by internal and external troubles. At this time, someone set their sights on the Star Core."

"This star core originally fell into Asdna during the war. At that time, thanks to the pleas of the Nameless One, people gave up the idea of ​​getting involved with this power. But there have always been people with ulterior motives who have been secretly plotting against it."

Gallagher's gaze fell upon the monument in Tirnan.

"The turning point came after Tirnan's death. The deaths of his two nameless companions forced the 'Watchmaker' to head to the front lines of pioneering. This journey gave his rivals an opportunity."

"By the time the family representatives of the Montor system responded to the 'Watchmaker's' call and arrived, the star core had already been activated and infiltrated into the primal synesthetic dream world."

Himeko's eyes showed a thoughtful expression as she guessed, "I suspect that the family happens to possess the knowledge of sealing star cores?"

“More than that!” Gallagher replied. “They understand the star core better than ordinary people, quickly helped Mikhail quell the internal strife, and joined the construction of Pinocone under the name of ‘Harmony’.”

"That was the third century, known as the 'Age of Dreams,' when the unsuspecting 'Watchmaker' extended an invitation to the entire universe, igniting a craze for a land of dreams."

"Then... how did they become enemies?" March 7th asked curiously.

[Genshin Impact - Paimon: Yeah, shouldn't they be on the same side?]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Tesla: The family was invited by the watchmaker to join Pinocchio and helped them quell the internal strife and the Star Core disaster. I really can't think of any reason why they would become enemies now... Could it be the simplest reason of unequal distribution of benefits?]

[Honkai Impact 3 - Changguang: Hmm... Or perhaps it was caused by the dominant watchmaker being overthrown by his family?]

[Starry Sky Railway - Star: You really kept me in the dark this time.]

[Starry Sky Railway - Walter: That doesn't make sense. Based on the information we've gathered so far, the three nameless individuals aren't that interested in power; they're more concerned with building Pinocene.]

[Starry Sky Railway - Walter: Otherwise, the watchmaker wouldn't have proactively invited the family to come and oversee things in Pinocchio.]

[Starry Sky Railway - Himeko: I share the same opinion. There's probably more to the story.]

[Starry Sky Railway - Gallagher: Heh, quite perceptive.]

on the screen.

“Remember that ‘land reclamation’ analogy? The truth is, the star core was never sealed; it just exists in a different form within the dream.” Gallagher scoffed. “Think about it carefully: what is the price to pay for constructing and maintaining such a massive ‘dream’?”

Before anyone could answer, his casual tone suddenly turned cold, his voice as chilling as an abyss.

"It is life, little girl. The magnificent dream is built on the death of the spirit. The poison called 'pleasure' flows through the dream, making people addicted to it, and their minds slowly flow to the same destination, eventually becoming the placenta of the dream."

"Confusion, laziness, cowardice... these weaknesses that are ubiquitous in human nature were amplified and nurtured by the family, turning Pinocone into another kind of prison, far more indestructible than the one in the past."

[Honkai Impact 3 - Otto: Heh, fine wine and song and dance are far more effective at keeping people in check than chains and walls.]

Gallagher turned around and looked at the rows of buildings in front of him.

"We discovered it too late. By then, the family had already gained immense influence, and the opponents were quickly brought under control and driven out."

"With nowhere else to turn, I had no choice but to rely on 'mysterious' power to hide in this chaotic realm of memories, and then spent several years 'fabricating' a meme in my dreams for our use—"

"Sleep, that's its true name. Because ordinary people can't fall asleep again in their dreams, we have the opportunity to exploit this loophole."

After hearing Gallagher's explanation, Himeko suddenly understood. "So this is the true meaning of 'the impossible.' So, you sent out invitations under the name of 'The Watchmaker' to find the faction that can resolve the Star Core crisis and lure them to Pinocene to discover the truth?"

Gallagher nodded and said, "Moreover, I'd like to see the various factions constantly fighting over the inheritance. Coupled with the 'Watchmaker's' first public statement in over a decade, the 'traitor' within the family will surely be exposed."

Hearing this, March 7th scratched his head. "So, the 'inheritance' really is just a facade..."

Gallagher quipped, "If you want to keep the star core as an inheritance, I have no objection."

Upon hearing this, March 7th quickly waved his hand.

Himeko immediately asked the crucial question, "So, where is that star core now?"

Gallagher turned his gaze to Sunday, who was talking to the robin not far away. "That's a question for that winged kid. Starcore has always been under the control of the family, and he's the face of the Oak family, so he must know everything perfectly well."
