"And... my body transformed from 'Shinichi Kudo' to 'Conan Edogawa,' the Black Organization's nightmarish existence, and the real effects of APTX4869..."
"Is all of this... just... a plot device in a comic book or novel?"
He felt his mind go completely blank.
His proud, flawless logical reasoning ability, capable of solving any puzzle, seemed so pathetic and laughable at this moment.
"We were a fake!"
"Then... what exactly is that 'truth' that I've been pursuing with all my life?"
"Is it an ending that was written in advance and was predetermined by some being called an 'author'?"
"Am I...Shinichi Kudo...just a fictional character created by that 'author'?"
He was completely terrified by this final and cruel truth.
He felt ice-cold all over, as if he had fallen into an eternal, inescapable abyss made of ink and paper.
For the first time, he experienced a deep and desperate doubt about the "authenticity" of his own existence.

Luo Xiaohei's War World
At Xiao Hei's home.
When they heard the words "Your entire universe is virtual" from the sky, Xiaobai, Xiaohei, and Wuxian fell into a long silence.
"……us……"
"Was it created by... that thing called 'Narrative Layer Humans'?"
"Like...like the characters in the cartoons we watch?"
Xiao Bai's face was filled with disbelief.
She simply couldn't understand this fact.
"..."
"Then... then is Master also one?"
"Is Laozi one of them?"
"Those incredibly powerful executors were all... drawn out?"
Luo Xiaohei's eyes were filled with immense shock.
Looking at his powerful and reliable master beside him, he recalled those legendary, godlike beings.
He couldn't believe that all of this was just a fabrication.
"..."
"It seems so."
Even the usually composed Wuxian was now filled with extreme shock.
But he quickly regained his composure and began to calmly consider the fact from a higher perspective.
"The world we live in, all our fairies, humans, and enforcers..."
"All our spatial abilities, spirit control abilities, and that so-called 'spirit space'..."
"It turns out that they were all created by that higher-dimensional 'narrative layer humans' using their 'imagination'."
"Truly...what a magnificent power!"
There was neither anger nor despair in his tone.
There is only one kind of profound awe for the unknown forces that comes from glimpsing the truth of a higher dimension.
“We are the ‘story’ they write.”
"And they are our 'creators'."

Lolo's Adventure World
When they saw the description of the "virtual world" on the screen, the motorcycle warriors, including Thunderbolt and Vanguard, were all deeply confused.
As the only human from the "real world," Lolo stood there blankly.
For the first time, his face, which was always full of confidence and sunshine, revealed a genuine, deep-seated fear.
"...Virtual...world?"
"...comics...anime...novels?"
He muttered to himself, his whole body ice-cold.
"Lolo, what's wrong?"
"What exactly is that canopy saying? I can't understand a word it says!"
Looking at Lolo, whose face had suddenly turned pale, Thunderbolt asked in confusion.
"I...I understand..."
"I finally understand why I was able to come into this world..."
"Why can I command you in battle like I'm playing a game...?"
"Because...because this world, to me, is originally...just a 'game'!"
He always thought that he had come from a "real" world to a "virtual" world.
But now, the sky is telling him that his own world is nothing more than a "story" in a higher-dimensional world.
"Doesn't that mean..."
"All our struggles, all our battles, all our efforts..."
"Actually, it's all under the control and observation of that 'narrative-layer human'!?"
"They...are watching us? Like we're watching a cartoon?"
"Our fate, our victories and defeats, even our lives and deaths...were they all predetermined by them?"
This thought filled him with an unprecedented and immense sense of powerlessness.
The 89th Bear Ridge World is actually a higher-dimensional world! The divine deer has been revealed to have transformed itself into this world!
...
Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf World
Green grassland, sheep village.
When they heard the words "You are all fake" from the sky, all the lambs were plunged into deep and immense confusion.
"……Fake?"
"Are we... fake?"
At this moment, even Pleasant Goat's usually brilliant mind completely stopped working.
He couldn't understand what the word "false" really meant.
"What's fake and what's real?"
"Pleasant Goat, what are you saying?"
"Why can't I understand a word?"
Boiling Sheep scratched his head.
His face was filled with confusion.
"Ugh……"
"The meaning of 'sky curtain' is..."
"The world we live in, our beautiful green grasslands, and even each and every one of us..."
"It's just a story imagined by people in another, higher-dimensional world, drawn in books or on television...
With his aged and trembling voice, Slow Sheep Village Chief explained this incredibly cruel truth with great difficulty.
"..."
"Then... then the grass cake I eat every day... is it fake too?"
Lazy Sheep's face showed an expression of utter despair, as if it were the end of the world.
For him, that was the most terrifying thing.
"..."
"I do not believe."
"This...this is unbelievable."
"Our friendship, our family ties, all the efforts we've made to protect Sheep Village... how could any of this be fake?!"
Pleasant Goat looked at his friends with a determined look in his eyes.
He could not, and absolutely did not want to, accept this absurd and cold truth.
However, only the highest-dimensional narrative world can create countless realms.
[While lower-dimensional narrative worlds cannot create countless realms, they still exist above all realms.]
The Bear Ridge world is a higher-dimensional world, second only to the lower-dimensional narrative world.
[Inside the Bear Ridge Forest.]
The professor, accompanied by a robot, begins his search for the ruins of the Enchanted Forest.
However, they encountered three of the boss's henchmen.
The professor was kidnapped, and the robot Xiao Tie immediately ran away.
He escaped successfully, but his body parts were damaged, and he fell into a coma.
