Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Hoshimi Miyabi forcibly locked her body with her will and returned directly to reality.

Well, virtual reality and Thousand Faces are both finished. The HIA Club will have to work hard to rebuild them.

But next time, let her try it alone first.

soon.

The four members of the Sixth Division of the Space Exploration Department meet in reality.

Yuecheng Liu, who had fainted due to using her ability, quickly regained consciousness. Even though her body couldn't withstand multiple bursts of her ability, it was only once, so it wasn't a major problem.

"Waaah! Sister Liu is awake!"

Cangjiao exclaimed in surprise and quickly offered the treasured candy to Yuecheng Liu, saying worriedly, "Sister Liu, have a candy, it will make you feel sweeter and less pain."

These are her treasured candies from her brother Su Chen; they taste even better than regular candies.

She usually wouldn't eat it herself, but it was different when she saved it for Sister Liu.

"Ah."

Yuecheng Liu patted Cangjiao's head and smiled as she put the candy into her mouth.

"Liu, are you feeling better?"

Hoshimi Miyabi looked at Tsukishiro Ryuu with concern in her eyes: "We'll go to the Rabbit House to buy some medicine later; it should help you."

Recently, Cunning Rabbit House has been selling medicine, and the medicine is of very good quality with virtually no side effects.

Even the major conglomerates associated with TOPS have been lining up to pay high prices for the medicine from the Rabbit House, eager to study its ingredients.

One of them can improve physical fitness; it seems to be the same one that Ling's brother, Tetsu, used. Strengthening the body should alleviate some of Liu's side effects.

"Hmm, we can give it a try later."

Yuecheng Liu nodded slightly and replied with a smile.

"Sister Liu, Sister Liu!" Cangjiao asked curiously when he saw that Yuecheng Liu was alright, "How did you defeat that fake section chief? The section chief was so strong!"

"I have to thank Mr. Su Chen for this." Yue Chengliu patted Cangjiao's head: "My strength and the section chief's strength were already close to our limits, and it would be difficult to make any major breakthroughs in conventional physics."

"But what Mr. Su Chen taught us made a huge breakthrough in our 'hearts'—a power that cannot be replicated by data. The section chief's data body is only half of the section chief's, while I am my entirety. It wasn't an easy victory."

She was very grateful to Su Chen for helping her push her limits.

It's hard to imagine that someone could have such a huge influence even outside of New Elidu.

"So that's it~"

Cangjiao nodded as if he understood, "But speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yuecheng Liu stroked Cangjiao's forehead and said with a smile, "Let's go thank him properly in person when he comes back."

"Ah."

The other three nodded in unison.

Hoshimi Aya felt a surge of emotion. It had been more than seventeen days since Su Chen left. He would return in one or two months, as he had said. At most, there were still 45 days left, and at least 13.

Well, there are thirteen more days until I can see Su Chen again.

"By the way, Qianmian also died during the virtual reality collapse." Hoshimi Miya said calmly, "I will ask her for help to find Qianmian's hiding place and see if there are any other clues."

She was referring to the bell, of course; as a legendary rope craftsman, she would certainly have unique methods for finding people.

The four members of the Sixth Air Defense Division got into the car and headed towards the Rabbit House.

……

In the blink of an eye, a few days later...

Pinocchio, the star of the event.

Today is Sunday, the day of the public trial, with the Starry Sky Train as the neutral party and all those who were trapped in the dream at the time as the trial parties.

The atmosphere at the Pinocchio Grand Theatre was incredibly lively.

Many people were unable to attend in person due to limited seating, but fortunately, an online meeting was also offered to ensure fairness.

Amidst the fervent arguments and impassioned protests of countless individuals, the situation became a scene of intense public outrage.

Himeko, the conductor of the Starry Sky Train, could only pronounce the verdict with a helpless expression: "The former head of the Oak family is guilty of neglecting his duties on Sunday. From this day forward, he will rebuild Paradise Dreamland and will only be allowed seven days off per month."

"Due to the mistakes he made in the past, he was sentenced to 15 days of detention. Since he had already served 15 days in advance, he was released in court."

She originally intended to give Sunday a lenient sentence, but she didn't expect it to be so light.

These people are completely obsessed with Sundays; they'd rather have their death sentence reduced to the minimum than go to jail.

"Yay! Long live Sunday!"

"Lord Sunday, let us dream one more time!"

"We can do anything!"

Countless spectators were so excited that they wanted to rush up and hug Sunday to celebrate the victory together.

Good heavens, they had never had such a beautiful dream.

This damn reality, I don't want to stay here for even a second longer!

"..."

On Sunday, his handcuffs were removed with a look of utter helplessness on his face, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Even though his dream was illusory, unrealistic, and shattered by hope, these people still admired him so much.

He would much rather see these people despise him than see him as a drug addict; this is not the paradise he wanted to create for everyone.

"Is it really alright to do this, Mr. Su Chen?"

The robin clung nervously to Su Chen's arm, looking very worried.

"It's alright, I'll take care of it."

Su Chen gently stroked the robin's smooth hair, remaining completely calm.

It's not allowed in principle, but it's a principle now.

Existence itself has meaning; the widespread expansion of Sunday dreams is a step towards nothingness.

But maintaining a small scope, giving those in a vegetative state, the paralyzed, and the elderly nearing death a beautiful dream, is indeed a good thing.

As Sunday said, there are truly vulnerable people in the universe who need shelter.
