Chapter 298 - A Boss Battle! Robin’s Song!

: This is insane—and yet it makes perfect sense.

: If I were Pom-Pom, I'd just say this to Sunday: 'I thought this was the Silver Track—go tell Akivili, we're all trying our best to live!'

: This is too wild! And amazing!

---------------------------------

So exciting that the audience couldn't contain themselves, yet didn't even know where to start complaining!

After all, this was the grand finale!

However, with just a little thought, one would realize that even the seemingly absurd Express scene had it's own logic.

Trailblazing, harmony, and the power of memory matter— these gave a reasonable explanation for the Express's appearance.

And this absurd scene perfectly fit the unorthodox style of the Express crew — or rather, of the protagonist group.

The Express suddenly suddenly appearing and ramming into Sunday completely ignited everyone's passion.

All the emotions built up through the third episode were fully unleashed in that moment.

...

: This literally made Brother Sunday cough up a lung!! Hahaha!

: Sunday: Summoned a traffic accident. Who would believe that?

: I think I finally understand why the Amber King hates Akivili…

: Hahahahaha, looking at it this way, Akivili is like a wild ghost kid rampaging with Aku!

: Lightning fast — Divine Freight!

: The moment the robin's song came on, I was about to cry, but this crash smacked my tears right back in!

...

As the screen was flooded with barrage comments, Sunday, who was almost sent flying, finally came to.

But compared to the Express headbutt, he was more focused on a familiar scent.

"Robin, is that you singing?"

He slowly looked up toward the sky.

"Brother, this isn't the paradise they hoped for, even if they've voiced their hearts!"

Robin's voice was thick with sorrow.

"But they still don't know where to go, so I must become the only star in the sky to guide them."

Sunday replied to his sister with a gentle tone, but his words were filled with unwavering resolve.

"Even if the place where that star resides… is an eternal night?"

Robin raised her voice again, already somewhat emotional.

But Sunday no longer responded.

He raised his baton once more, looking at the nameless in front of him.

At that moment —

Only the accompaniment of "Hope has feathers and wings" remained in the background.

...

: This time the music isn't that kind of grand symphony — it's mellow?

: But with Robin and Sunday both singing, the rhythm and feeling are actually quite fitting.

: Perfectly matches! It gives a strong sense of hope instead of being oppressive!

: Anyway, I trust MiHoYo, they won't let us down!

...

Joyful drumbeats, rhythmic tempo —

Completely different from the previous boss fight music.

But it brought the audience a unique feeling —

That is…

We will definitely win!

On screen, the battle resumes.

Sunday wields his baton, using the power of order to guide the charge of the souls.

But with Robin's support, The Nameless's attacks come from the sky endlessly, as if money is no object, shattering the puppets that covered the sky into pieces.

As the dark puppets that had blocked the sky dispersed, people finally saw — the sky at that moment had cleared.

Soft morning light fell, accompanied by stars yet to fade.

The Express crew made their final stand against Sunday!

March 7th: "Even if the future is full of pain, we'll never run away!"

Dan Heng: "You're a noble person… Don't be shackled by the past!"

Himeko: "Then let me show you the conviction of the 'weak'!"

To beautiful music, under Robin's humming, and with everyone's hope, they rushed forward with all they had!

The audience was completely fired up!

...

:This is too epic! All the stories about Penacony are coming together here!

:All the grudges and conflicts must find resolution here!

:For Penacony's past, present, and future! Let Sunday know — people have the right to choose how they live!

:Mikhail, Tiernan, Acheron! All the things that broke us! We must make it to the end!

: And Hanunue! And all the nameless who died in the IPC wars, civil wars, and Swarm Disaster!

: Carrying their will! Express crew — charge!!!

...

This boss battle was truly something else.

It felt like everything had fallen into place.

All the information the audience had absorbed before —

The war stories in dreams of the past, Penacony's current tale, and the stories of small people amidst these big narratives...

All these tributaries merged into one great river — and it all came together here.

No need for heavy-handed buildup.

The audience could already make their own choices in their minds!

With full emotional immersion, the impact could easily pierce their hearts!

As the Express crew made their declarations, the Astral Express charged at Sunday once more,

Wiping out the last of the puppets.

And Sunday, having taken repeated hits, was finally showing signs of collapse.

"If we were never alone, then how did we end up drifting so far apart…"

Sunday murmured, as if speaking to his sister.

But now he no longer needed her answer — a brilliant light burst from his divine body:

"One final negotiation — may it end in clarity and rain!"

The background drums grew louder and louder.

And at the climax, the puppets around Sunday soared into the sky, and he himself raised his head.

"All creation is complete."

"The day without doubt has arrived."

With that whisper, Sunday raised his left hand.

A sphere of light flew from his palm, glowing with divine authority.

"The embryo of Order."

"For us…"

"To reshape heaven and earth!"

The light sphere exploded in the sky!

Like a true sun — so dazzling that no one could look directly at it.

In the blazing light, Sundays body began to melt and transform.

Until a face appeared from the radiance — with golden tear trails, exquisitely elegant like a marble sculpture.

"If your paradise can save more people, then sever my path with your own hands."

As his words fell, the rapid drumbeats reached their limit — and then, suddenly, stopped…

The next second —

Robin's singing echoed across the entire sky.

"Heads up!"

"The wheels are spinning!"

Under the cheerful rhythm, the battle formation of the Express Crew was complete.

The hopeful accompaniment that once simply inspired confidence —

Now made it clear:

What lies ahead — is victory!
