Chapter 573

Should we make a move? Will we be exposed?

'No, I'll be dealing with civilizations in the universe sooner or later, so worrying about being exposed is completely unnecessary.'

'Joachim is on the train; theoretically, the Trailblaze Crew should be on the side of justice.'

'So this criminal gang must be his enemy?'

'Survival Rules for Dark Villains: Never stand against the forces of justice, and never reveal your true nature as a dark villain. At least outwardly, align yourself with the forces of justice, and seize benefits through indirect and shady means.'

Ninti reiterated her stance and principles before making a decision.

"Quick! This is the support section, with a shortcut to the platform. We need to get there and meet up with Welt right away!"

"But are we just going to leave the Doomsday Beast like this? Can Herta handle it?"

The four members of the Trailblaze Crew hurried along the straight passageway of the space station.

Himeko seemed lost in thought, simply gripping Hoshi's wrist tightly and pulling her along as they sped off.

March 7th frequently looked back at the road he had traveled, his face showing undisguised worry.

"Damn it! Who on earth dismantled the space station's defense system? And the Antimatter Legion even brought out the Doomsday Beast! This is just... this is..."

When it rains, it pours.

"Oh! I see, Professor Dan Heng! So Himeko, you must have your own plan, right? We can't just abandon Station Master Herta and all those people on the space station and run away, can we?"

March 7th does not mean that he does not trust Himeko.

She simply couldn't understand why Himeko turned around and fled from the main control module where the space station crew was gathered.

Dan Heng, equally caught off guard, glanced thoughtfully at Xing, who was being dragged along, and realized something.

Xing was completely bewildered. She didn't understand what the Doomsday Beast represented, nor did she know why the Trailblaze Crew was running, or even why she had to run with it.

The four quickly stepped through the cabin door, and a vast platform with a starry sky as a backdrop appeared before them, along with a magnificent train parked on the platform.

"Ah! I can see the platform and our train! Uncle Yang is right there, let's hurry..."

"March 7th, be careful!"

A colossal dragon, obscuring the entire starry sky, brandished its jet-black wings and crashed down with an overwhelming aura of destruction.

"Boom!"

Amidst the violent tremors, the Doomsday Beast crashed through the protective shield of the platform, then took off again, circling and gathering power above the planet.

On the March 7th, he barely managed to stand up straight, drew his bow and nocked an arrow:

"Hey! Damn it! They actually caught up with us. Come down if you dare!"

"Little March, don't be impulsive, that's..."

Himeko's warning came too late, because the Doomsday Beast did not charge up and crash again as expected. Instead, it opened its mouth in the starry sky and instantly shot out a destructive light wave that could engulf everything.

"Careful!"

In the blinding light, Xing, who was closest to March 7th, instinctively stepped forward and stood in front of the unsuspecting pink-clad girl.

"Bang!!!"

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, March 7th barely opened his eyes, and mumbled in the bright light:

"I... I'm alright?"

Not only was March 7th unharmed, but after the light faded, Xing, who had used his physical body to block the Doomsday Beast's breath attack, also appeared completely unscathed.

She simply covered her head with her hands and staggered back two steps.

March 7th was stunned and at a loss.

Himeko and Dan Heng exchanged a knowing glance, silently confirming that Hoshino and the Antimatter Legion had some kind of connection. Of course, this didn't mean Hoshino was a bad person; it just meant she was indeed special, and further observation was necessary.

The three quickly went to help Xing, who was staggering. However, Xing suddenly arched her back, trembling all over, and let out a piercing scream:

"Ah!!!"

Then, a dazzling light, even more radiant and destructive power than the previous bombardment by the Doomsday Beast, erupted from Xing's body, shaking the entire platform.

"What's going on... Wait! The Doomsday Beast is back!"

A sudden, inexplicable eruption of a star appeared ahead, its terrifying energy seemingly about to engulf the surrounding area within arm's reach.

The Doomsday Beast roared in from above, its massive size alone destined it to be a devastating and destructive impact.

Fortunately, Welt finally arrived from the side.

The Trailblaze Crew exchanged glances, then Welt, wielding his scepter, charged straight at the rampaging star, while the other three, armed, prepared to confront the Doomsday Beast head-on.

March 7th's heart pounded wildly, torn between worry for the star who had sacrificed herself to protect her and a lack of confidence in stopping the monster that symbolized the end of the world. Yet, she still drew her bowstring taut, the cold air emanating from her hand, coalescing into her most powerful arrow.

"Aww~~"

Just as the situation was about to erupt, Welt timely knocked out the unwell Star, preventing the destructive power within her from erupting. The Doomsday Beast, however, let out a tremendous howl—not the intimidating roar of a pre-attack attack, but one carrying a sense of surprise, even slight panic.

All they could see was a black object obscuring everything in front of them—to be precise, they, along with the planet below the space station, seemed to be surrounded by something black. It resembled the body of some kind of creature, although even a mere outline of what appeared to be scales was larger than the planet itself.

Then, the darkness suddenly dissipated. As for the Antimatter Legion, not only the Doomsday Beast that were originally within arm's reach, but even the legion's forces in the starry sky within sight completely vanished without a trace.

At the end of the platform stood a young girl with flowing blonde hair and eyes as pink as purple gemstones. Her slender dragon tail swayed slowly, her soft, fair face puffed out slightly, her hands covered her lips, and her crystal-clear, pure eyes darted around, observing everything.

It's like a little elf that suddenly wandered into the human world, eating some rare and exotic food, with an endearing and lively appearance.

"So cute..."

March 7th knew it was inappropriate, but she couldn't help but mutter aloud. Himeko and Dan Heng were puzzled and solemn, unsure how to react.

At the same time, Welt slowly opened his mouth wide. The star he was holding fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Ning... Ning... Ninti!?"
