Bianca's expression remained unchanged despite the sudden attack.

With a simple swing of his spear, he easily blocked the seemingly terrifying attack from the knight opposite him, and even knocked the thrown spear away.

[Bianca easily blocked her opponent's terrifying attack! So strong! The match officially begins--!!]

"Boom--"

As Big Mouth Mob announced the start of the match, Bianca, clad in heavy armor, launched herself forward like a cannonball towards her enemy.

After all, this time is different from usual; it truly requires a swift and decisive victory.

"Varied--!"

Staring at Bianca, who had appeared before him in the blink of an eye, the knight's pupils contracted slightly. With no way to avoid her, he could only raise his shield to defend himself.

However, his fate was no different from that of the other knights who had faced Bianca before... His shield was shattered instantly by a single spear thrust, and he was blasted away by the force of the blow.

[Good heavens! It's happening again! With just one strike, Bianca, this knight who combines beauty and strength, cleanly and swiftly took down an opponent!!!]

"Oh, oh, oh, Bianca!"

With Bianca's brilliant strike, Big Mouth Mob's commentary once again resounded throughout the arena, followed by deafening, excited cheers from the arena's audience and fans.

Just as Bianca was about to move on to her next opponent and eliminate him from the competition... Sakura's somewhat hurried voice suddenly came to her mind.

'Bianca! From heaven!'

Sakura's sudden reminder made Bianca pause slightly, but since her opponent was already close, she didn't stop. After defeating her opponent with a single punch, she quickly turned to look at the sky.

"!"

Upon seeing the situation in the sky, Bianca's azure eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her serious face.

P. S.: There will be another chapter tonight. I got home too late yesterday, so I skipped it. I went to see a doctor today and found that I have infections in several places on my body. I was prescribed some medicine.

Give it a push.

Chapter 48 This strike will pierce through the stars!

"!"

Upon seeing the situation in the sky, Bianca's serious face showed a hint of surprise, and her azure pupils contracted slightly.

Above the azure sky, three beautiful, fiery "stars" covered in black crystals were rapidly growing larger and hurtling towards them.

If no one had stopped it, Great Knight's Territory had been hit squarely... it would have been destroyed instantly, and those who survived would have been infected by the primal dust and crystals accompanying the Catastrophe.

Perhaps because Bianca's expression was too surprised and her pause was too long, Big Mouth Mob noticed her.

[What happened?! What made Bianca Knight stop her attack...!!!]

Big Mouth Mob was explaining something when he suddenly fell silent... because he had also followed Bianca's gaze and seen something in the sky.

"What are you doing? Bianca, get up here!"

"Bianca, what are you standing there for? Go! Tear them to shreds!"

"..."

Bianca and Big Mouth Mob's consecutive anomalies alerted the large audience, who, while jeering, all looked up at the sky.

But when they saw the Catastrophe in the sky, they all fell silent. After a moment, their voices were replaced by terror and screams.

"Ah!! What's that?!"

"Catastrophe? How could this be!"

"Where are the Catastrophe Messenger? Are they just sitting around doing nothing?!"

This sudden turn of events caused immense panic and fear among the audience present and those watching the live broadcast from the Great Knight's Territory.

This is a natural human emotion towards natural Catastrophe that are beyond our control.

This sudden natural Catastrophe in the sky also caught the attention of the higher-ups of the Great Knight's Territory, who began to take various measures. But... it was too slow.

The size and speed of the three meteorites in the sky exceeded everyone's expectations. Even if several Mobile City were to be separated and connected to scatter and take cover, it would be completely too late.

The current situation is utterly unavoidable and unstoppable... This is the powerlessness of humanity in the face of Catastrophe.

Bianca withdrew her gaze from the sky and swept it across the chaotic stands. Only when she saw that her friends were still safe and sound did she feel relieved. She then looked up again and fixed her gaze on the bright stars.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing for Silly Goose. Now that she knows what the crisis is, she is incredibly calm, thinking about how to perfectly end this crisis and protect everyone.

Although Bianca initially didn't realize the system's continuous side quests would have such a wide-ranging impact, this crisis was, in a sense, caused by her.

In that case, whether out of his own beliefs or his own conscience, the goose will do everything in his power to stop everything and prevent anyone here from getting hurt.

In contrast to Bianca, who remained standing calmly in place, the other knights in the arena, the fans in the stands, and the people watching the live stream were all gripped by fear and panic as the Catastrophe drew ever closer and began to flee.

Even people in other cities watching the Knights Tournament live felt chilled by the direct experience of witnessing the natural Catastrophe.

Just as everyone was gripped by panic and fear, a dazzling light suddenly shone in the arena, attracting the attention of many, especially since the live stream hadn't been turned off yet.

[Oh my god! What... what is that! Bianca's armor has completely changed, wait a minute--! What is she going to do!]

If Bianca's radiance had only attracted the attention of a few, then Big Mouth Mob's involuntary, yet resounding, exclamation that echoed throughout the arena and the live stream, drew the attention of almost everyone.

The spectators, who had turned their attention to the arena, noticed that Bianca's heavy armor had somehow been replaced by a light and beautiful blue and white dress that offered little protection.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Bianca lightly touched the ground with her toes, and the propulsion wings on both sides of her skirt armor instantly unfolded, revealing dazzling, fiery blue wings.

Then, without giving anyone a chance to react, she soared into the air and transformed into a blue comet streaking across the sky towards her target.

Meanwhile, for reasons unknown, the drone that had been filming and live-streaming the goose race also followed and flew into the sky. The footage it captured was also broadcast live and projected onto the large screen in the arena.

[She actually... flew up! What is Bianca Knight trying to do? Is she going to fight against the natural Catastrophe head-on?!]

"This... this...!"

"What is Bianca trying to do? Has she gone mad?"

"Damn, are you out of your mind? Why are you charging into something like this?!"

"If you can fly, why don't you run for your life?"

As Bianca acted, the previously chaotic crowd paused, then erupted into a terrifying discussion, with many expressing shock and bewilderment.

They couldn't understand why Bianca, who could fly and escape, would still rush in to her death...

Even Maria Nearl and Zofia, who were in the audience, didn't quite understand why their friend would rush up there.

"Call--"

Bianca, soaring through the sky, had no idea what the people below were feeling. But given her personality, she wouldn't care at all, except for her friends.

As for the drone following behind, Dai'e naturally noticed it, but because it was quite far away, she was afraid that she might accidentally injure the people below if she attacked it, so she didn't deliberately destroy it and just let it follow her from a distance.

After flying over the city, Bianca stopped. She looked up at the enormous meteorite that was almost within reach, along with the terrifying amount of Originium crystals and dust surrounding it, and her eyes gleamed slightly.

"The Holy Sword, Weigh Anchor!"

With a soft shout from the knight girl, a dazzling, blinding light burst forth from her body in the next instant.

This light quickly transformed into a massive golden shield, enveloping and protecting the entire city.

"!"

At this moment, whether they were ordinary people, city leaders, or infected individuals, everyone who witnessed Bianca's actions and the dazzling energy shield enveloping the city was awestruck.

Because they could hardly imagine how powerful a person would have to be to single-handedly support such a large protective shield for the entire Great Knight's Territory.

However, before they could recover from their shock, the girl's soft voice rang out again, and her next action made everyone instinctively widen their eyes.

"This strike will pierce through the stars!"

P. S.: I was so excited writing these two chapters! I haven't fully recovered yet. Let's see if I can add an extra chapter tomorrow!

Give it a push.

Chapter 49: The Shock and Shock of the Audience

"This strike will pierce through the stars!"

With a soft shout, Bianca conjured an ice-blue spear in her hand, then infused it with energy and hurled it with all her might toward the nearest meteorite.

As the spear was thrown, the silly goose manipulated the energy, coating itself with a thin "film".

And so, before everyone's eyes, the spear, which looked utterly tiny in comparison to the meteorite, hurtled straight toward it with a dazzling light.

However, even with the energy shield currently enveloping the Great Knight's Territory as evidence, most people still didn't quite believe in or were optimistic about Bianca's attack this time.

Because the contrast between the two is too great; the way the spear used for attacking rushed towards the meteorite was as fragile and insignificant as a needle piercing a stone.

"..."

However, unlike the concerns and distrust of others, Bianca had already shifted her attention to the other two meteorites.

He knows his own strength. Although he doesn't know the strength of the meteorite on Terra, he thinks that attack just now was enough...

While it wouldn't be enough to shatter the entire massive meteorite into dust in one strike, it could certainly crush it. And the resulting "small" fragments would naturally be blocked by the energy shield surrounding the Great Knight's Territory.

However, just as Bianca confirmed that the distance was right and was about to make another move, the spear she had just thrown collided violently with the huge meteorite under everyone's watchful eyes, unleashing a terrifying impact and energy.

The final result was beyond most people's expectations. The seemingly tiny spear, after colliding with the huge meteorite, almost without paused and directly pierced through the entire meteorite, leaving a long streak of light in the air.

The meteorite, about half the Great Knight's Territory, was riddled with cracks the moment it was pierced. Then, accompanied by the impact of terrifying energy, it exploded into countless fragments, falling from the sky and crashing onto the protective shield, creating ripples.

At the same time, Bianca launched her second shot, aimed directly at the second meteor...

[This... this is unbelievable! Is this the true power of Bianca Knight? She shattered a terrifying Catastrophe with just one throw... it's amazing!!!]

Inside the arena, Big Mouth Mob's exclamation, broadcast through the loudspeaker, instantly jolted the group of people who had been stunned into silence. Immediately, astonishing sounds erupted both in the arena and throughout the city beyond.

"!!!"

"Holy crap, is this even possible for a human?!"

"That's terrifying, just one strike..."

"So, we're saved? Bianca! Hang in there!"

"..."

"This... Bianca's strength is actually this terrifying?"

Zofia, still in the audience, turned her gaze away from the screen, then stiffly turned her neck to look at her silly child, wanting to ask him something.

After all, Maria Nearl knew Bianca better than she did...

"I don't know either... Bianca has never shown this power to me. Although I've always known she's strong, I've never really grasped its significance..."

After hearing her aunt's question, Maria Nearl finally snapped out of her shock and gave a dazed explanation.

"I can't possibly show this kind of strength to you..." Zofia said with a hint of helplessness after hearing Maria Nearl's answer.

"But looking at it this way, it turns out that Bianca hasn't said anything boastful at all. On the contrary, we've been underestimating her all along... No, it's beyond underestimating her." As she spoke, Zofia turned her gaze back to the sky and the screen.

Maria Nearl, standing to the side, remained silent, just like her aunt, and turned her gaze back to the girl she cared about.

"Call--"

After dealing with the second meteorite, Bianca in the sky gently exhaled a breath of stale air, without rushing to deal with the last meteorite that was relatively far away.

Since it was the last one, the goose wasn't in as much of a hurry as it had been at the beginning. Rather than risk having its force neutralized by attacking from a distance, it was better to wait for the right opportunity or try another method.

During this brief "free" time while waiting, Bianca temporarily shifted her attention to the energy membrane on her body and the protective shield beneath her.

As it turned out, her gamble paid off... her energy effectively isolated the Originium dust and storms, preventing them from touching her or seeping into the Great Knight's Territory.

After confirming that everything was correct, the silly goose turned her gaze back to the last star that was hurtling towards her. Then, in the next instant, she did something that made many people gasp in surprise.

Bianca, who had been floating in the sky without moving much, suddenly took off rapidly under the power of the propulsion wings, right before everyone's eyes, and flew straight towards the last meteorite.

Bianca no longer intended to deal with this last meteorite as easily as before; she wanted to try a different approach... After all, it was too difficult to find a suitable "opponent" in this world.

If everyone's safety is ensured, then Catastrophe can certainly become her "opponent," or rather, a punching bag.
