『 [ It seems that no matter what we do, we cannot convince the other. ]
[ Fate has decreed that we clash in mortal combat. Since things have come to this, let us use our respective Paths to manifest a righteous road for the cosmos. ]
[ However, before the prelude to the future officially sounds, I must ask you all to spend a little more time contemplating the question I posed— ]
As Sunday's voice trailed off, a swarm of puppets began to descend abruptly upon the stage.
Seeing this, the three of them hastily drew their weapons and stood their ground in confrontation.
[ Is darkness equal to daylight? ]
[ Are sinners equal to the righteous? ]
[ If you are born weak, which god should you turn to for solace? ] 』

Stelle: "Is it finally time to get serious?"
Stelle: "I'm so pumped!!"
March 7th: "Pumped?"
March 7th: "I'm practically scared to death over here!"
March 7th: "Look at those puppets dropping from the sky; they look like real trouble!"
Himeko: "Don't be afraid. These puppets are merely the same ones we defeated previously."
Himeko: "The true centerpiece of Sunday's performance has yet to begin."
Paimon: "I noticed a detail!"
Paimon: "Miss Stelle's weapon for this fight has actually changed to a hat!"
Paimon: "Why isn't she using the flame spear or the baseball bat anymore?"
Furina de Fontaine: "That hat is Mikhail's legacy of the Trailblaze, isn't it?"
Furina de Fontaine: "It seems to possess a very mysterious power."
Stelle: "I got tired of the bat and the spear. Just changing things up."
Stelle: "Besides, I look pretty cool fighting with a hat, don't I?"
Hotaru: "Mm-hm, very cool!"
Hu Tao: "Cool, sure, but I'm just worried the hat might get smashed."
Stelle: "Don't worry. With my superior combat skills, the hat won't be easily damaged!"
....
『 [ How tragic! The Aeon with great might... ]
[ Under the banner of the Order, you have defined all things in the Cosmos... ]
[ ...But this made us realize that we are but puppets in your hands!! ]
Even in the heat of battle, the puppets did not forget to recite their lines.
[ The world is in Harmony! Praise the Great One! ]
The puppets cried out loudly, launching a far more ferocious assault.
Seeing this, the three of them had to sharpen their focus to the absolute limit to respond with everything they had!
Finally, through their concerted efforts, the three of them managed to temporarily repel the puppets.
At that moment, Sunday completed an ineffable metamorphosis.
[ I already know your decision. ]
[ Now, I grant you all the right to gaze upon the sun. ]
[ On these one hundred and seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-six stones, the almighty and powerful strings of Harmony are at my disposal... ]
[ ...the supreme tuner, Harmonious Choir, Dominicus! ]
A blinding radiance erupted. In a heartbeat, Sunday had stealthily usurped the authority of Harmony, transforming into the Emanator that should have belonged to Harmony: Dominicus! 』

Stelle: "Holy crap!"
Stelle: "You're actually doing this?"
Stelle: "You really became an Emanator?!"
March 7th: "NO WAY!!!!"
March 7th: "We just finished dealing with an Emanator on the Xianzhou; does this never end?"
Himeko: "Usurping the authority of Harmony…"
Himeko: "So that's what he meant…"
Aventurine: "Splendid, truly splendid!"
Aventurine: "To think you could seize and manipulate the avatar of Harmony."
Aventurine: "I must admire such a maneuver."
Furina de Fontaine: "Isn't this a disaster?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Sunday actually had a trump card this massive hidden up his sleeve!"
Furina de Fontaine: "An Emanator… aside from another Emanator, I fear no one can stand against him, right?"
Hu Tao: "What about Miss Acheron?"
Hu Tao: "Can she come and save them for a bit?"
Hu Tao: "If she doesn't come soon, I think Miss Stelle and the others are really in grave danger!"
Robin: "Dominicus…"
Robin: "Brother… so you still remember the wish I had as a child…"
Robin: "However, this is not the Dominicus I wanted to see…"
Boothill: "Son of a nice lady, is this guy an Emanator of Harmony now, or an Emanator of Order?"
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "Essentially, it is half and half."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "For the time being, the power of Harmony has not been completely converted into Order."
Dan Heng: "This is troublesome!"
Dan Heng: "I didn't expect this journey to Penacony to be so perilous."
Acheron: "Sigh, things have ultimately evolved into an irreversible state. This is truly not what I hoped to see."
Lumine: "The power of an Emanator is too terrifying…"
Lumine: "What I'm more worried about is whether Miss Stelle and the other two can hold out?"
Paimon: "Ugh… Paimon is too scared to watch anymore!"
Paimon: "Paimon's afraid of seeing something terrible happen to Miss Stelle and the others!"
....
『 [ Come forward and pay homage, O lost wanderers who walk in the shadow of death! ]
Sunday emitted a grand, divine voice that caused the stage of the Grand Theater to shake violently.
[ The embodiment of the Harmony? So, the true purpose of the Charmony Festival... is to usurp it?? ]
Himeko gazed at the avatar of Harmony, now transformed into the Divine Sunday, with a look of sudden realization. 』

Nilou: "Divine… Sunday?!"
Nilou: "The name specifically highlighted in this video… does it mean Mr. Sunday has completely become an Emanator?"
Silver Wolf: "A usurper in the sanctuary."
Silver Wolf: "Dominicus is gone."
Silver Wolf: "He was turned into Divine Sunday by Sunday."
Black Swan: "Within the Family, only Xipe of Harmony is worthy of being called the Divine Master."
Black Swan: "Now that Sunday styles himself as the Divine Master, it seems his ambition is immense."
March 7th: "How could it not be?"
March 7th: "He wants to cast out Harmony, establish a kingdom of Order, and be the Divine Master of that Order himself."
March 7th: "He kept claiming he had no desire to ascend to godhood, but isn't that exactly what he's doing right now?"
Paimon: "Huh??"
Paimon: "Do you mean… Mr. Sunday wants to be an Aeon?!"
Paimon: "Is that actually possible?"
Madam Herta: "If no one stops him, the winged boy might actually pull it off."
Madam Herta: "Though, it's only a probability."
Madam Herta: "But I must admit, to reach this stage, the remnants of Order actually have some real substance."
Ruan Mei: "Usurping the authority of Harmony to use as a breeding ground to nurture the embryo of Order?"
Ruan Mei: "An interesting idea, worth referencing…"
Furina de Fontaine: "Have you noticed that after Sunday became Divine Sunday, his tone of voice became much more arrogant!"
Hu Tao: "Starting off with 'come forward and pay homage,' he really thinks he's a god, doesn't he?"
Venti: "Is there a possibility… that his current state could indeed be tentatively called… a god?"
Zhongli: "Compared to such power, I believe the gods of Teyvat should understand their own insignificance."
Raiden Ei: "Mm… indeed insignificant."
....
『 [ I'm feeling like... there's another world in front of my eyes... ]
March 7th gazed at the current Divine Sunday, and for a moment, she seemed to see another world.
[ It is the power of tuning… do not let the song distract you! ]
Hearing March 7th say this, Himeko hastily issued a warning.
[ The time has come; creation shall be reborn from the divine remains— ]
Divine Sunday paid little heed to Stelle and her companions. He played a hymn, intending to completely convert the authority of Harmony into a cradle for the birth of Order.
However, at that very moment!
An Azure Dragon abruptly appeared and, with overwhelming force, struck Divine Sunday squarely in the chest!
The blow interrupted his movements!
[ Huh? ]
[ It's Dan Heng! ]
March 7th cried out, her face instantly lighting up with joy.
Divine Sunday's body collapsed with a crash, revealing the scene behind Him.
In the distant high sky, the Cloud Knights blotted out the sun.
Among them, two divine figures were wielding an unfathomable power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Divine Sunday!
[ Radiant Spirit— ]
[ Heed my word— ]
[ —Show no mercy! ]
Divine Sunday attempted to struggle and rise, but he was met with the peerless combined strike of the Divine Foresight and the Azure Dragon! 』

Stelle: "Holy holy holy!!"
Stelle: "That was badass!!"
Stelle: "This scene is absolutely epic!!"
March 7th: "Dan Heng and General Jing Yuan teaming up…"
March 7th: "Wow!!"
March 7th: "The grand spectacle of the Xianzhou is recreated!"
March 7th: "I'm getting fired up!!"
Himeko: "Haha, thanks to Dan Heng arriving in time, otherwise Sunday would have succeeded."
Furina de Fontaine: "My goodness… is this the General of the Xianzhou?"
Furina de Fontaine: "That giant, golden, blindingly bright divine statue—what on earth is that?"
Qingque: "Heh, that's our General Jing Yuan's Divine Foresight!"
Jing Yuan: "Haha, I should introduce Him more rigorously for everyone's sake."
Jing Yuan: "His full name is the General Overseer of the Divine Thunder Palace, Driver of Lightning and Bolt, Hunter of Demons and Purger of Filth, the Heavenly Lord!"
Paimon: "???"
Paimon: "A name that long?!"
Paimon: "Paimon can't remember that at all!!"
Yanqing: "Ahem… everyone can just call Him the Divine Foresight… after all, that's what the General usually calls Him…"
Hu Tao: "This Divine Foresight is way too powerful, isn't he?"
Hu Tao: "And General Jing Yuan—I didn't expect him to be so divine and imposing in person!"
Xiangling: "I get the gist of it, but what's going on with Mr. Dan Heng?"
Xiangling: "That giant Azure Dragon…"
Xiangling: "That's clearly not something an ordinary person can produce, right?"
Lumine: "True… he knocked Divine Sunday flat with a single hit."
Lumine: "Could it be that Mr. Dan Heng is also an Emanator!"
Stelle: "Tsk, that's not wrong."
Stelle: "Dan Heng is indeed considered an Emanator."
Stelle: "But… right now, he's probably only half of one?"
March 7th: "You guys might not know, but Dan Heng is actually a descendant of the Longscion, and his previous incarnation was the High Elder of the Vidyadhara on the Luofu!"
March 7th: "As for what a High Elder is… You can understand it as being an Emanator of the Aeon of Permanence."
March 7th: "Uh… oops, I spoke too fast… sorry, Dan Heng, is this… something that can be said?"
Dan Heng: "…."
Dan Heng: "It doesn't matter. It's already been exposed in the video; your few words won't make a difference…"
Furina de Fontaine: "Unbelievable…"
Furina de Fontaine: "Mr. Dan Heng is actually such a renowned figure!"
Furina de Fontaine: "But he played it so low-key before, it's completely unexpected!"
Boothill: "Muddle-Fudging, the High Elder of the Vidyadhara?"
Boothill: "Brother Dan Heng, why didn't you say you had this status earlier?"
Boothill: "Doesn't this make my previous behavior look like a total joke???"
Dan Heng: "I am no longer the High Elder. What would I have said?"
Boothill: "Who are you kidding?"
Boothill: "If you're not the High Elder, where did this power come from?!"
Dan Heng: "….It was an accident!"
Hu Tao: "No wonder Mr. Dan Heng didn't even flinch when Boothill pointed a gun at him."
Hu Tao: "Turns out his strength is just that solid!"
Nilou: "Being brutally beaten by two powerful Emanators… I suddenly feel a bit of sympathy for Mr. Sunday."
Acheron: "In the end, the Jade Abacus of Allying Oath was used?"
Acheron: "However… something feels slightly off."
Madam Herta: "This 'Divine Sunday' that Sunday created shouldn't be this frail."
Madam Herta: "Even with the General of the Xianzhou and the former High Elder teaming up, he shouldn't have collapsed so instantly…"
Madam Herta: "Given the essence of his being… plus such a favorable environment…"
Madam Herta: "It is indeed quite strange."
Stelle: "Tsk, you guys are overthinking it."
Stelle: "Back on the Luofu, Phantylia merged the power of Abundance to temporarily become an Emanator wielding two Paths, and she still lost to the combined efforts of Dan Heng and General Jing Yuan."
Stelle: "This Divine Sunday, although formed from an avatar split from Harmony, has now been usurped by Order; he probably can't exert his original power."
Stelle: "I think it's perfectly reasonable that he lost so decisively."
March 7th: "Yeah, I don't think there's any problem either."
March 7th: "General Jing Yuan even brought the Cloud Knights to support us, how could anything else go wrong!"
Welt Yang: "I hope so… but for some reason, I also find it a bit suspicious."
Fu Xuan: "This seat shares the sentiment. Perhaps… the matter is not yet concluded?"
....
『 A supreme strike annihilated the body of Divine Sunday.
With this, the crisis came to an end.
The scene shifts, returning to reality, to Stelle's hotel room.
[ Wake up… wake up… ]
[ …Hey, Stelle! Stop sleeping! You're burning daylight— ]
In a haze, Stelle heard March 7th's loud shouting, which gradually woke her from the Dreamscape.
[ Are you okay? Can you hear me? ]
[ Do you remember what your name is? ]
March 7th, asked with concern, looking at the groggy Stelle.
[ Didn't I already knock the sun down… ]
Stelle said, sounding a bit confused.
[ Uh… in a sense, General Jing Yuan helped us knock it down. ]
[ Regardless, since you still remember what happened… then I'm relieved. ]
Seeing that Stelle hadn't forgotten anything, March 7th let out a sigh of relief.
[ Is this a dream or reality? ]
Stelle looked around and couldn't help but ask.
[ Mm… It's a long story. ]
[ Simply put, when we were locked in a bitter struggle, Dan Heng used the Alliance Jade Seal and brought the General to rescue us just in time. ]
[ And then we returned to reality. ]
[ See, this is your room. ]
[ Everyone else has returned from the dream, too. Himeko-jie and the others are in the lobby talking business with the General. ]
[ Since you're awake, let's go let the rest of the Astral Express crew know we're safe. Follow me~ ] 』
