Stelle, March 7th, and the others watched curiously as the two over-aged lolis sized each other up.
“What are you looking at?”
Herta looked at Theresa and shouted subconsciously.
“I’m looking at how pretty you are!”
Theresa said directly to Herta.
Herta looked at her in surprise, while Theresa looked back with a smile.
“Yo, little sister, you’ve got some guts, actually not being afraid of me.”
Seeing someone so bold for the first time, Herta looked at Theresa with curiosity.
“You’re so cute, why should I be afraid?”
“Also, I’m not called ‘little sister,’ my name is Theresa.”
[I’m not called ‘Hey,’ my name is Chu Yu Xun~]
The Homu System started playing around.
Theresa kept a straight face to avoid laughing, thinking to herself that the Homu System was too mischievous.
Theresa explained while looking at Herta.
Herta was stunned by such direct words, and the puppet’s face turned slightly red.
“Thanks, I know I’m pretty too!”
Herta said confidently to Theresa.
Everyone smiled as they watched the two lolis face off, finding it quite amusing.
“I heard the Trailblazers saved the Space Station, right, Asta?”
Herta asked Asta.
“Yes, Ms.
Herta.
Thanks to the Trailblazers’ assistance, the Space Station’s crisis during the Antimatter Legion’s invasion was resolved.
Especially Theresa…
ma’am?
She was a huge help, ensuring the lives of the Security Department and the Researchers were saved.”
Arlan explained to Herta.
“Well, thank you for your righteous help.
I knew you wouldn’t just stand by.”
“How about this: the repair and supply costs for the Astral Express this time will be completely waived.”
Herta suggested to Himeko and Welt.
“Ms.
Herta, are you sure?
I estimate the repair costs for the Express will be over ten million credit points.”
Himeko confirmed with Herta.
“Small matter.
Not just this time, but ten future repairs for the Express will be free.
After all, there aren’t many Trailblazers left who persist in the Trailblaze.
Herta thanked everyone.
Although her social skills weren’t great, she still gave the thanks that were due.
“That’s very kind of you.”
Welt said politely to Herta with a smile.
“I don’t go back on my word.
You protected the Space Station; giving the Express a few free repairs is nothing.”
Herta’s words made everyone nod happily.
[Warning, warning, high-energy reaction detected!]
The Space Station’s alarm interrupted them.
Researchers were escorted to shelters by the Security Department.
“Help!”
“Ugh, ahhh, the Antimatter Legion is here!”
Some Researchers shouted in panic; after all, they were just frail scholars.
“Roar!”
Amidst the piercing alarms, a massive shadow swept over the Space Station, then lunged onto the protective shield, trying to pierce it with its claws.
“Careful!
The Antimatter Legion is attacking!”
“That’s the Antimatter Legion’s planet-class strategic weapon, the Doomsday Beast.
It’s an existence we can’t fight against.”
“Everyone, evacuate quickly!”
Arlan shouted loudly.
The Doomsday Beast, forged by the Antimatter Legion from fragments of the Twilight Old Beast and the Sorrow of Ten Thousand Bones in the War Forge.
It possesses the Hand of Wraith and the Tail of Calamity, imprisoning the Unresolved Wills of Sentient Beings.
It exhibits complex emotions like anger, sorrow, and false joy.
Its core is an engine driven by dark matter, symbolizing the power of destruction and rebirth.
It looks like this.
“Let me handle it!” * 2
Theresa and Welt spoke at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.
“Old Yang, you’re still the same.”
Theresa smiled at Welt while staring at the Doomsday Beast above.
“The Dean is the same too.
How do you plan to deal with it?
Don’t tell me…”
Welt asked as Theresa summoned Judah amidst everyone’s surprised gazes.
“Is there even a need to ask?
This is my first stop, after all!”
“Welt, use the Star of Eden to deploy a shield and block the erosion of the Divine Grace Barrier later.
Leave that big monster to me!”
Theresa said to Welt while gripping the Oath of Judah, which seemed light to her.
Theresa’s combat power wasn’t weak; though often teased as a ‘Judah launcher,’ this small person carried great responsibility.
“Is it really okay?
The Divine Grace Barrier is dangerous for you, since you have the Vishnu factor.”
Welt said as he told everyone to evacuate.
Stelle shook her head and stayed firmly to fight with everyone.
Though she hadn’t known them long, she liked how harmonious the Trailblazers were!
“I’m staying too!
Come down here!”
March 7th shouted at the Doomsday Beast.
Hearing her, the beast stared at March 7th and indeed tore through the shield, landing in front of everyone.
“…”
Everyone looked helplessly at the stunned March 7th, and the girl smiled sheepishly.
“I’ll see this through to the end as well!”
Himeko said excitedly.
For some reason, seeing Theresa by her side made her feel pumped up.
“Seeing Sister Himeko so fired up feels so rare~”
March 7th quipped while holding her compound bow.
“I agree with March 7th’s view.”
Dan Heng said, holding Cloud-Piercer.
Welt said nothing but placed a black-gold shield over everyone.
With this shield, their confidence grew.
“Don’t hold back, just give it your all.”
Herta stood near Asta and spoke to the Trailblazers.
Her words relaxed everyone; at least they didn’t have to worry about paying for anything they broke.
“Roar!”
The Doomsday Beast slammed a claw down.
Theresa’s short legs leapt, and she swung Judah to meet it.
She didn’t notice her eyes turning a faint red—the Vishnu factor was activating.
She didn’t know how strong the beast was, but after hearing it was ‘planet-class,’ she decided not to hold back.
*Bang!*
“Awoo!”
Theresa swung Judah and smashed it heavily against the Doomsday Beast’s incoming left hand, accompanied by a massive explosion and the beast’s painful roar.
Theresa landed on the ground, the heavy Judah leaving a crater in the floor.
The Doomsday Beast roared at her in fury.
“Then I’m starting, Old Yang!”
Theresa shouted.
Welt nodded, indicating his Black Hole Barrier would protect everyone from the Divine Grace Barrier’s effects, since they were both Divine Keys.
“Oath of Judah, Zeroth Rated Power: Divine Grace Barrier—Directional Deployment!”
*Clatter!*
As Theresa deployed the Oath of Judah, everyone was surprised to see thirteen spears shoot out from the golden cross into the void, accompanied by the sound of chains.
