Support Cabin Section, Platform.
That black-and-white colossal body emitted bursts of eerie and ominous low roars.
Asta led the people of Herta Space Station, along with March 7th, Dan Heng, and others from the Astral Express, in battling the Doomsday Beast for a long time.
Yet they never expected its outer shell to be so hard it was outrageous.
Massive amounts of attacking firepower poured onto that shell, and up to now, they had only destroyed one of its black eerie claws.
Dan Heng held his spear horizontally in front of his chest, blocking the storm, and shouted to March 7th behind him:
"March, has Uncle Yang not come yet?!"
March 7th shook her head:
"Not yet, he should be on his way here. After all, there's such a big commotion here."
Dan Heng gritted his teeth.
This Doomsday Beast was even more dangerous than he had imagined.
If Mr. Welt still didn't come, then he could only...
"If it's really no other way, just directly fire the railgun?" Asta made such a proposal. "It'll just be a bit more troublesome when repairing the space station later."
Arlan disregarded the bloodstains on his body and stood in front of Asta, raising his greatsword to block the gale whipped up by the Doomsday Beast for her:
"Miss... this is the last resort. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it's still better to be as steady as possible. The railgun's range is too large; it'll cause collateral damage."
"Then what do you say we should do now!" Asta was extremely anxious.
The Doomsday Beast living one more second meant there could be more researchers injured.
She looked around.
Ahead, the Doomsday Beast madly extended its eerie massive wings, continuously knocking researchers back with the storm.
Its remaining single claw continuously resonated with the core, seeming to be preparing some terrifying attack.
And the originally shattered severed claw was also slowly reforming; in a little while longer, it would probably recover again.
And on our side?
Dan Heng didn't speak, but was still exerting his utmost to hold on, not knowing what he was thinking at this moment.
March 7th was also at Dan Heng's side, covered in sweat, her condition not optimistic either.
And Arlan.
His body wrapped in more than half bandages, yet still desperately shielding himself from the storm's impact.
Aside from Asta, Himeko's expression by the side was also extremely grave.
'If Welt hasn't arrived yet, then let's do as Asta says and activate the railgun.' Himeko thought thusly.
'Before that, we must first have everyone evacuate, away from the platform, to avoid collateral damage as much as possible.'
Just as Himeko was about to convey this idea to Asta, a tall figure slowly walked past her side.
"This is still the first time observing the Doomsday Beast from such close range."
Himeko: "Hm? Zeig..."
Zeig smiled at Himeko and waved his hand:
"I'm a bit late in arriving. How's the battle situation now?"
"Not optimistic."
Himeko sighed.
"I was just planning to have everyone evacuate and activate the railgun."
Seeing the unfamiliar face, Asta nearby also came over.
A pair of bright, watery eyes scanned back and forth over Zeig.
"You're that guy who had something stuffed into his body..."
Himeko: "Ahem."
Asta: "Ah haha... Arlan mentioned you to me just now. I heard you can strangle a Voidranger Trampler to death with your bare hands?"
In such a grand scene, Zeig seemed a bit inexperienced:
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. Strangling the Doomsday Beast to death and such is also something that can be done."
Asta: "..."
Although she heard from Arlan that this man was very strong, he somehow felt a bit unreliable.
Thus, Asta looked toward Himeko by the side, wanting to hear her opinion.
But who would have thought, Himeko instead froze.
She instead turned back to look at Asta with some disbelief:
"What did Arlan say? That Zeig can now strangle a Voidranger Trampler to death with his bare hands?"
Asta nodded: "Yeah."
She looked at the surrounding researchers and whispered to Himeko:
"Isn't it because you said he has that whatever Stellaron in his body? Isn't that normal?"
Himeko touched her chin with her hand.
While sizing up Zeig, she pondered.
He could already reach this level now?
Himeko knew Zeig had a Stellaron in his body and roughly guessed his strength was pretty good, so she recommended him to Asta to go support Arlan.
But.
Strangling a Voidranger Trampler to death barehanded was a bit too incredulous.
Before Himeko could react, Zeig walked toward the Doomsday Beast's direction.
Standing in front of Dan Heng and March 7th, he alone bore the most ferocious storm.
March 7th was stunned for a moment:
"Eh? It's you. Why did you come to the front?"
Dan Heng was also extremely puzzled. As soon as Zeig stood in front of him, the pressure he felt immediately lessened a lot, so he took the chance to catch his breath.
"Zeig, are you okay?" Dan Heng asked. "Here, me and March can hold it."
Zeig waved his hand.
"No need. I came here to prove one thing."
Dan Heng: "What?"
Zeig: "Do you know Capote?"
Dan Heng was baffled.
Who was Capote?
"I'm not too clear." He could only answer truthfully.
He didn't know why Zeig suddenly mentioned this name.
Could it be that he was also involved in this invasion incident?
March 7th at this time raised her hand.
"I I I, I know!"
She looked at Zeig and very actively recounted what she had seen and heard at the space station:
"Capote, he's super famous at the space station. There are even lots of researchers who want his autograph, and they've even started fan support clubs!"
Dan Heng came to a realization: "So that's how it is."
Afterward, he looked again toward Zeig, who was standing at the very front, hands in pockets, long coat hem fluttering, head raised staring straight at the Doomsday Beast.
"Does he have any relation to this battle?"
Zeig shook his head: "No."
Dan Heng and March 7th: "..."
March 7th pouted coquettishly: "Then why did you mention him!"
Zeig frowned, the long black windbreaker hem fiercely fluttering in the wind.
"Some kid doesn't believe me. I want to perform what is called Eastern Shock."
Zeig slowly walked into the massive shadow of the Doomsday Beast.
This was the foremost end of the platform, right in front of the Doomsday Beast's body.
Zeig quietly raised his head, staring straight at this colossal behemoth.
Standing amid the storm whipped up by the Doomsday Beast's wings, many people felt the wind blades like knives, their whole bodies in intense pain.
Yet Zeig's expression showed no change.
Even Dan Heng and March 7th were dumbfounded, even forgetting to pull him back.
Only to see him under the Doomsday Beast, amid the storm, slightly tilting his head.
With a deep voice, he said to the crowd behind, the people with faces full of incredulity:
"Everyone, watch carefully."
Afterward, Zeig clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head to gaze at the sky.
"Behold as I, Zeig, slay this monster right here!"
The words just fell, and Zeig abruptly raised his hand.
The surrounding Imaginary Energy was rapidly mobilized, faintly emitting bursts of humming.
"Boom——!!"
A massive rumble came from the distant starry sky.
That distant Milky Way slowly converged, above the Doomsday Beast, forming an endless stellar river vortex.
Asta had a face full of shock.
Looking at the shocking sight formed by the stellar river filling the sky, she turned her head to ask Welt Yang behind her:
"What did you say to Zeig? What's the deal with Capote?" She had naturally also heard Zeig mention Capote to Dan Heng.
Welt Yang innocently shook his head and stubbornly said:
"I, I don't know either."
Looking at that spectacle of the stellar river surging, Welt Yang was about to be scared to tears.
What was he trying to do?!
Even the originally emotionless Doomsday Beast, at this time its entire body also suddenly froze.
Mechanically raising its head, it gazed toward this bizarre stellar river.
Zeig's coat hem fluttered wildly, and from the vortex formed by the converging stellar river, the tip of a golden sword slowly emerged.
"Rumble rumble rumble——!!"
With immense momentum, surrounded by faint booming sounds.
In an instant, the stellar river surged, and the entire Herta Space Station began to shake.
People didn't know just how big that golden sword tip was, but it had now occupied the entire field of view.
The patterns on the sword blade contained the characteristics of ancient Eastern style, gorgeous yet not extravagant, eternal and profound.
In a moment, golden rosy clouds spread everywhere, illuminating the entire universe.
In the vast cosmos, the sound of sword cries echoed.
Immediately after, Zeig's gaze sharpened.
He chanted:
"The Divine One... change to the extreme!"
