A Strange Path Reaction Between Propagation and Destruction? / Galactic Starburst!

With an unstoppable momentum, as if it were the beginning of creation, cutting through all ghosts and evil spirits, the magnificent sword light crashed down, instantly traversing a distance of tens of kilometers and landing on the massive body of the Doomsday Beast.

Boom!

This was an extreme collision between two equally powerful energies. The Dark Matter Engine at the core of the Doomsday Beast was running at full power, unleashing a destructive force amidst the lamentations of countless corpses.

Even though the Doomsday Beast had fought with all its might, unleashing an attack driven by a determination to destroy everything, it still offered little resistance to the sudden descent of the Corona Greatsword.

The hastily unleashed [Doomsday is Coming] was instantly shattered. The body of the Twilight Ancient Beast fragments, reforged in the War Furnace, was like butter before a hot blade, offering no resistance whatsoever, and was easily sliced apart.

Boom!

Like the planets it once destroyed, the Doomsday Beast exploded in its final moments, bursting forth with dazzling flames and transforming into a tiny flame in the vast starry sky.

However, compared to the magnificent sunlight in front of it, which seemed to bring life to the earth, that flame appeared so small and powerless.

That brilliant ray of sunlight, seen through the monitoring screens of the Herta Space Station, was deeply imprinted in the eyes of everyone who was intently watching this confrontation.

After a moment of silence, deafening cheers resounded throughout the core section. The crew members who had escaped death cheered excitedly, hugged each other, and released their excitement at their narrow escape.

Even March 7th, who had already experienced many adventures on the train and whose nerves were much more mature than those of the clerks, couldn't help but pull Asta was also relieved, to join in the cheering.

However, amidst the cheers, there was also a somewhat bewildered face—

That was a star that had recently had a star core implanted in her body and was currently unaware of it. She had lost her past Remembrance, but inexplicably possessed some common sense, which allowed her to understand why these people were cheering, yet she was also puzzled as to why they were doing this and why she herself did not have such emotions.

Blinking blankly, the tall, gray-haired young woman turned her gaze back to the screen, looking at the figure who had created this sea of celebration—

To be honest, Gwen is in a bad state right now.

Because of a slight lack of understanding of his own current strength, the power of that Corona Light exceeded Gwen's expectations, so much so that he had to forcibly restrain himself to avoid accidentally damaging a distant planet.

In short, I used too much force and strained my back to avoid causing further damage.

Fortunately, this Doomsday Beast came alone. The Antimatter Legion's grunts following it were annihilated in the previous attack, and there was no large force trailing behind it, so Gwen did not have to risk harming innocent bystanders.

"Call...

Sure enough, we still need to quickly absorb and digest these powers before they can be truly transformed into real combat power.

In this state, fighting elite monsters like the Doomsday Beast is manageable, but encountering a truly skilled Annihilation Lord would be quite troublesome.

After warming up the machine, which was slightly overloaded from the earlier exertion, Gwen confirmed once again that the Doomsday Beast and its accompanying Anti-Matter Legion had all been wiped out before sheathing the Corona Sword behind him, turning to look in the direction of the Herta Space Station, and nodding in acknowledgment.

However, just as Gwen was preparing to leisurely fly back, his gaze suddenly sharpened, locking onto the bottom of the Herta Space Station—

Previously, when he used his mental energy to spread throughout the entire Space Station to rescue people, he sensed the aura of the enormous creature at the bottom.

Clearly, Ruan Mei has been conducting experiments at the Herta Space Station for some time and has even achieved results, but she probably hasn't yet created that limited-time Insect King.

Gwen was well aware of his condition, so he never considered touching that giant worm right now.

Once we've fully grasped what we've learned, we can use it as a practice target; we shouldn't waste it now.

Therefore, Gwen had intentionally avoided the big guy below, not even using his spiritual power to take a peek, for fear of falling into his trap due to a lack of understanding.

But now, Gwen has caught a glimpse of an unusual light at the bottom of the Herta Space Station.

"Grass!

What's going on?

Gwen hoped he was seeing things, or that it was an unusual flash of light from some distant star.

But the energy signals detected by Apollo told him no, it was no coincidence, something was indeed happening there.

"Asta, activate all defensive barriers! Activate all defensive barriers!"

I'll give you this button too, just press it!

Asta, who had just been spun around twice by March 7th, hadn't even settled into her seat when a sudden, urgent call came from beside her, almost causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

However, although she was caught off guard, the voice that had just left a deep impression on her, carrying a hint of mental intimidation, made Asta react quickly. She immediately pressed the blue button given to her by Gwen, and a strange barrier instantly covered the entire core module.

Ignoring Gwen's barrier, Asta's gaze was already locked on the golden figure on the screen that had transformed into a streak of light and was rapidly rushing towards the Herta Space Station.

From the long, golden trail, Asta seemed to sense Gwen's impatience, and her heart skipped a beat—

Surely... another Doomsday Beast can't just appear on the other side, right?

At the same time, another staff member exclaimed in surprise—

"An abnormal Imaginary Energy has appeared in the bottom sealed section. This magnitude... My God!"

What exactly is that?!

The piercing screams instantly silenced the celebratory core section, and the invisible pressure seemed to transform into a tangible hand, gripping everyone's hearts.

Chapter 853 The Strange Fate of Propagation and Destruction?

Almost as soon as those words were spoken, a blinding red light flashed on all the screens in the core section, the alarm system signaling to everyone the impending danger, and the location was...

Beneath their feet lay the lower level of the Herta Space Station, that closed module where entry was prohibited.

The Space Station's crew has always been curious about that restricted area, and there are even various legends about it.

And now, those rumors that used to be just casual conversation seem to have been confirmed?

Suddenly, all sorts of terrifying speculations that were once jokes flooded their minds, silencing the clerks who had just been celebrating. They whispered among themselves about the "secrets" they knew, but were further terrified by the even more frightening rumors from others.

Sensing the invisible fear spreading within her, Asta knew she couldn't let things continue like this. She turned on the radio and said in a deep voice—

"Fellow staff members of the Herta Space Station, please remain calm. This is the core module of the Space Station, a core building personally designed by Ms. Herta. It has the most comprehensive protection system and is the safest place in the entire Space Station, and even in the entire Planet Blue."

Whether this place was designed by the Herta itself is debatable, but hearing Asta's words eased the fear in the staff members' hearts somewhat.

After all, Herta is a renowned genius scientist in the universe, and the core area of her assets is well protected.

"Asta, down below..."

Seeing that Asta had turned off the broadcast, March 7th, who was also a little flustered, took two steps forward, wanting to ask her what was down there, but was stopped by Dan Heng before she could speak—

"March 7th!"

Dan Heng coldly stopped March 7th's question and slowly shook his head—

There are too many people around, and whether Asta knows it or not, speaking out would not be conducive to maintaining social stability.

"Don't worry too much, Little March."

Himeko took March 7th's slightly cool hand in hers, smiled, and gently touched her forehead.

"After all, this is the Herta, and its defensive capabilities are extremely strong."

With so much time having passed, Ms. Herta should be returning to the Space Station soon.

Besides, wasn't Gwen also trying to salvage the situation?

"That's true..."

With Himeko's care and protection, March 7th's slight panic subsided, and she even patted Hoshi's shoulder, who was much taller than her.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine here."

"?"

Xing blinked, looking at the girl who had just been flustered but was now smiling brightly. She felt both puzzled and amused, and nodded in response.

"Um."

"Speaking of which, Little March, who is this...?"

Himeko also turned her gaze to the unfamiliar girl and asked curiously.

Although the situation was urgent, and there was nothing she could do, Himeko had no choice but to change the subject to ease the tension.

Meanwhile, Asta's mood did not lighten. The girl, her lips pressed tightly together, tried hard not to show any panic.

She didn't know what was down there, but she had received a personal order from the Herta not to explore it. She had lent the place to a friend.

The person who could be called a friend by the Herta and generously lend out such a large area of Space Station...

It's very likely that he's also a member of the Genius Club.

And those renowned geniuses...

No matter who it is, the mess they create is beyond what these people can handle.

"Call..."

Shaking her head, trying to clear her mind of these thoughts, Asta saw her pet at her feet, picked it up, held its two little paws, and gently shook them, whispering in a voice only she could hear...

"Pepe, when do you think Ms. Herta will be back...?"

Well...

"I hope Gwen doesn't get into trouble. It doesn't matter if he can't solve the problem, as long as he can hold out until Ms. Herta returns..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears, startling Asta, who was somewhat lost in thought—

"Asta!"

"Mr. Gowen?"

Asta was stunned as she watched the blue button disappear from her hand.

"It's me. Can the Underworld of the Space Station be separated?"

Or, to put it another way, if I were to violently destroy something from the outside, what type of method and at what locations would minimize the impact on other areas?

Gwen's voice clearly entered Asta's mind, instantly invigorating the girl.

"Wait a moment, I'll start the manual operation right away—"

Asta tossed Pepe to the open space to her right, then turned and began working on the computer.

"The lower enclosed section is a large block that can be separated directly and completely from the Space Station, but it will take at least ten minutes."

I can unlock the key parts urgently, then illuminate the dividing section with lights. You can destroy that area to separate it!

Her fingers flew across the keyboard, unlocking layer by layer. By the time she finished speaking, Asta had completed the final authentication and begun the dismantling of the Space Station's sealed-off modules.

"This process will take about a minute."

"Good!"

Outside the Space Station, Gwen calmly answered, his gaze passing through the destroyed Space Station to see the rapidly growing and multiplying worms within.

On the massive body of the largest insect, a clearly foreign structure is continuously releasing enormous energy, providing the power for this change.

Gwen didn't recognize what it was, but based on the context, it was probably a part dropped by the Doomsday Beast, or even a remnant of its core Dark Matter Engine, which had unfortunately landed on the Insect King Experimental Subject cultivated by Ruan Mei. Moreover, instead of killing the insect directly, it actually promoted its evolution.

By this point, the energy fluctuations emanating from that insect were at least three times stronger than when Gwen arrived.

Realizing that this bug might be the previous Experimental Subject of the future Star-Shattering Bug King, Gwen did not hesitate and immediately unleashed Corona Light.

However, the Corona Greatsword, which was powerful enough to easily destroy the shell of the Doomsday Beast, could not even land on the insect that was leaping over the dragon gate. It was directly blocked by the ever-increasing Swarm, who rushed forward one after another without regard for sacrifice!

These creatures, which should possess little intelligence and whose pitifully small brains contain only living insects, are actually actively protecting the insect king from attacks.

This made Gwen somewhat doubtful: was this really the reaction that these special Swarm should have?

Or is it the change brought about by the Dark Matter Engine originating from the Doomsday Beast?

After all, this thing came from the Doomsday Beast, which imprisoned the Will of All Beings that were neither released nor dead.

Whether it be anger, sorrow, or unreal joy—once the Illusory Form is revealed, all evils run rampant.

These elements originating from the Doomsday Beast may have influenced certain habits of the Swarm, causing this insect, which might have originally been a failed experiment, to undergo new changes...

Chapter 854 Galaxy - Star Explosion!

In addition to the changes in the Swarm's movements, there was also the cancellation effect of that just-released Corona Light.

Besides the relentless Swarm and the energy erupting from the insect king, Gwen also sensed the influence of another special force, which greatly counteracted his Corona Light and even converted some of the energy of the Corona Greatsword into nutrients, accelerating his growth.

"Is it the effect of the Dark Matter Engine?"

Or is it a characteristic inherent in the very nature of the Propagation destiny?

Surely it couldn't be the intertwining of destructive and Propagation powers that triggered this special ability?

"Damn it, this isn't a difference universe!"

While speculating about the source of that strange power, Gwen was also analyzing ways to deal with his opponent—

Using powers to launch attacks?

The attempt had little effect; strangely, much of the damage was negated, and it even seemed to accelerate the insect king's metamorphosis somewhat...
