Chapter 51: Grand Magic
Mo Rabbit stood somewhere in the city, looking at the scene with a poker face as she let out a sigh.
“Not bad as a stage setup. I didn’t expect Loli’s Wish Machine could be used like this; it actually boosted my Stars! Unbelievable.”
At present, Mo Rabbit’s Star rank was quasi-broken-class, and she had experienced this sensation before in the capital. She hadn’t expected that Garnet, who had such strict limitations on their Ascended abilities, could use them freely with Night Star.
The gap between broken and non-broken classes was enormous.
Even with this level of performance setup, Mo Rabbit felt she still had plenty of energy to spare. However, this wasn’t the time to rest.
What she needed to arrange was far beyond just this.
Firstly, there was the custom viewing perspective.
To allow an entire city to see a performance live at a specific location, this wasn’t something simple. It wasn’t like watching a video stream; it was like being there in person.
Mo Rabbit disrupted the spatial structure within the realm, snatched the live footage, and simultaneously overlapped the best angle for everyone to see. With this, the immersive experience was completed.
Each citizen in every region could see the real-stage action; there was no escaping it.
The grand performance was essentially a dominating show that forced people to watch.
Mo Rabbit then turned her gaze.
That place was the maritime area separating the oceanic city from the mainland city. It was also where the final stage was set.
The performance stage was built over the sea, like constructing things out of thin air.
A dazzling stage quickly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Lights shone down from the constellation, landing upon the dim stage.
Two figures stood center stage, dressed in magic robes: the Audience Performer and the Group Leader.
At this moment, Mo Rabbit’s voice echoed throughout the city, “Distinguished guests, ladies, and gentlemen, good noon! Welcome to the Grand Performance put on by the Rising Sun Theater Group once a month. We will offer you an unimaginable visual feast, with mysterious colors that will embellish your awe-inspiring spectacular wonders. Is it magic or illusion? Does true marvel exist? Determine it with your own eyes! For now, enjoy the magnificent magic brought to us by the troupe!”
The next second, music filled the air.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the spectacle on stage.
The Group Leader threw his magic top hat high into the sky while the Audience Performer caught a spinning top hat and tapped it with her wand.
A grayish pigeon quickly flew out of a slightly smaller magic hat, eventually disappearing into the one thrown into the sky.
The magic hat levitated mysteriously, rapidly emitting a vast amount of black feathers, like a pouring stream of black liquid.
Under the spotlight, these feathers swirled around, falling onto the stage, as if conscious and collecting into several piles with a significant height.
In the next second, the feathers dispersed, revealing other figures—indeed, other members of the theater group were entering the stage.
But this was just the beginning.
The Audience Performer, strikingly handsome, pointed his magic wand at one of the troupe members.
The spotlight immediately focused on the Fraudster.
The Fraudster smirked slightly.
Cleanly, the Audience Performer spun his magic wand, gently planting it on the ground.
【Wish Machine, concept interference amplification!】
In the next second.
The Fraudster illuminated by the spotlights exploded instantly into countless petals dispersing everywhere.
Not only that.
Where petals passed, gorgeous flowers bloomed rapidly, emanating beautiful, romantic glows.
Citizens witnessing this widened their eyes.
“Look! Flowers are blooming at sea!”
“Is this new projection technology?”
“Wow! Holy moly!”
“This is mind-blowing, incredible!”
Centered on the stage.
An unknown blue-white flower continued to bloom and spread, transforming the ocean into a field of flowers.
This was inspired by Night Star’s recent visit to the Star Eclipse Nation to build a garden. This idea seamlessly integrated into the grand performance.
All you needed was to convert various concepts within the audience’s minds into flowers, creating a mental illusion.
Floating dust particles in the air could be flowers, various objects on the ground could be flowers, even water could be flowers.
Flower fields kept spreading, reaching into the city too.
Citizens stared at the flowers beneath their feet, at the beautiful flowers crawling up skyscrapers, feeling quite lost.
These flowers looked so realistic; weren’t they projections?
Some citizens couldn’t resist touching the flowers, which later dissolved into air particles, only to recondense again.
Such scale, utterly amazing.
Even the seasoned Night Watcher was surprised.
“One must admit, those folks from the Rising Sun Theater know how to have fun…”
“Sure do.”
No matter what, all the citizens were already captivated by this unimaginable phenomenon.
What was this called?
Magic?
Truly an unimaginable magic!
Onstage.
Night Star twirled her magic wand once again, pointing towards another troupe member.
The spotlight quickly concentrated.
It was the Songstress.
The singer sang magnificently, her voice echoing beautifully.
Notes materialized out of nowhere, as the Songstress disappeared quietly from everyone’s sight.
But the music lingered.
The notes scattered and landed across the city.
Whenever a citizen touched them, they could hear a beautiful melody, leaving indelible memories.
Night Star didn’t pause after that, confidently moving to the next magic trick.
The spotlight shifted to the others in quick succession: the Puppet Master, the Gentleman, the Playwright, the Makeup Artist.
In sequence, four of them.
The puppet control magic established by Doll City allowed spectators to experience the feeling of floating in the air through the collaboration of the Puppeteer and the Audience Performer.
Interactive magic created by the Polite Devil made the Audience Performer and the Gentleman’s words subtly convince the audience to shake hands with nearby people.
…
The impact of each magic trick was self-evident.
Finally, the spotlight gathered on the Audience Performer.
She twirled her magic wand skyward.
The flower fields transformed into countless petals rising into the air.
In reality, it was just water droplets, controlled by puppet strings.
Night Star smiled confidently.
“Let those who catch petals keep a good mood for a whole day.”
[Grant]
The Wish Machine activated swiftly, fulfilling this seemingly insignificant wish soon.
Countless petals ascended into the city, landing in the hands of the audience watching the performance.
The moment they touched the petals, they sensed an unprecedented sense of ease, as their gloominess vanished instantly, along with accumulated stress.
This was an incredible magic show—a magic that included everyone.
Onstage.
The spotlight dispersed and fell on the troupe members, who reappeared.
As they bowed in gratitude, a flood of black feathers enveloped them, regrouped, and entered a suspended magic ritual in mid-air.
A pigeon flew down from the top hat, landing on the Audience Performer’s cane.
The Group Leader donned the magic hat again and bowed together with the Audience Performer.
In the next second.
The wondrous space cracked like a mirror, and sunlight flooded back into Pinghai City.
The grand performance came to an end.
