Legend said its right hand could bring about "Calamity," while its left could tear apart "Dawn." It was a genuine colossal threat in the universe.

If it had only been the Antimatter Legion's soldiers, the Space Station could still have dealt with them by paying a certain price.

But facing the Doomsday Beast was like trying to stop a chariot with one's arm.

For a moment.

The entire Main Control Section was filled with despair.

"Immediately raise the Space Station's shields to maximum capacity and stop the Doomsday Beast's attack!"

Just then, a crisp female voice suddenly rang out.

After her initial shock, Asta immediately calmed down and issued her orders.

Chen Mu smiled as he watched Asta's performance.

But that smile did not last long before his expression darkened.

"The Space Station's Protective Barrier won't hold for long. Train Crew, take the train and leave. I'll stay behind. And Chen Mu, Stelle, you should leave with them on the train as well."

Asta made the decision without hesitation, her expression more serious than ever.

"How can we do that?! Let's escape together!"

March 7th refused without hesitation, saying anxiously.

Asta shook her head.

"We can't escape. The Space Station can't withstand the Doomsday Beast. I can't abandon the others, and someone has to stay behind to hold it back."

"You aren't members of the Space Station to begin with. I have no reason to make you face this crisis with me. Don't worry, I'll do my best to buy you some time."

March 7th opened her mouth, but for a moment, she did not know what to say.

In any case, she strongly disagreed with this.

"Stelle, March 7th, and Himeko are one thing, but Asta, am I not a member of the Space Station too? You actually want me to leave as well?"

Chen Mu asked with a dark expression.

"You're different from us. You're a genius with a great reputation throughout the universe, and you still have so many inventions... I don't want anything to happen to you."

Asta kept explaining and persuading him.

But when she saw Chen Mu's gaze, her voice weakened, and she finally spoke her true thoughts.

"I'm not leaving, Asta."

"But..."

Asta looked anxious and wanted to say more, but Chen Mu cut her off directly.

"No buts, Asta. Do you think that if something happened to someone I cared about, I would truly be at peace afterward even if I left?"

Chen Mu looked at Asta as he spoke.

Seeing Chen Mu's serious expression, Asta's heart could not help but skip a beat.

"If Chen Mu isn't leaving, then neither am I."

At that moment.

Stelle stepped forward with her Baseball Bat and spoke resolutely.

"Exactly! We're not going to just run away!"

March 7th chimed in as if it were only natural.

Himeko opened her mouth, her face showing helplessness. She had originally wanted to say something, but she gave up on the idea.

She exchanged a glance with Dan Heng.

Neither of them stated their position, but neither of them moved their feet.

After glancing at the others, Chen Mu chuckled. Then, looking at the Doomsday Beast in the distance, he said lightly,

"Besides, it's only a Doomsday Beast. We just need to deal with it."

"Wait, Chen Mu, don't tell me you're planning to...?"

Asta's pupils shrank. She immediately said, "No, absolutely not!"

Was this a joke?

When Chen Mu had gone to the other sections of the Space Station to deal with the Antimatter Legion soldiers, Asta had already been incredibly worried and nervous.

She had only relaxed after seeing him return safely.

And now he was going to deal with a planetary weapon like the Doomsday Beast?

That was far too dangerous, wasn't it?

Although she did not know how strong Chen Mu was.

Chen Mu could not possibly be invincible!

"Tell me, Asta, have you misunderstood something? I wasn't planning to take action personally. Have you forgotten what else we have at the Space Station?"

Chen Mu said with a laugh, not knowing whether to cry or smile.

To be honest, he had initially entertained that thought, wondering whether he should test himself against the Doomsday Beast.

But since Asta was so determined.

Chen Mu abandoned the idea.

He was a Scientific Research worker, so he should act like one. Besides, he could not make Asta worry too much.

In any case, dealing with the Doomsday Beast was not limited to him taking action personally.

Asta's face was full of confusion.

Forgotten what?

Had she forgotten something?

"The Star Destroyers, the Star Destroyers! Aren't there still two Star Destroyers I created stationed around the Space Station? Did you forget?"

Seeing that Asta could not remember, Chen Mu could only tell her the answer directly, his face full of helplessness.

Asta: "!!!"

Asta's face filled with shock before she revealed a delighted expression. She finally remembered.

That was right.

They still had Star Destroyers!

The Space Station had never been attacked before, so Asta had nearly forgotten about the two warships Chen Mu had created back then!

March 7th: "..."

Himeko: "..."

Dan Heng: "..."

Stelle: "?_?"

Upon hearing this, the few of them standing nearby.

For a moment.

Did not know what to say.

Forget it.

As long as you're happy.

Chapter 37: Bang~

"Everyone! Get ready!"

"Prepare to engage the Doomsday Beast! Activate the Star Destroyers!"

Chen Mu smiled and issued the order right there.

The many Space Station researchers froze.

When they heard Chen Mu's words, delighted expressions appeared on their faces. Each of them felt their hearts settle, then quickly returned to their posts and began working according to their duties.

Even Asta was filled with fighting spirit at that moment.

She had originally believed there was no hope, and her heart had been filled with despair.

But now.

Since there was still hope, she naturally would not wait helplessly for death. Her heart was filled with fighting spirit.

Watching this from the side, Himeko was filled with emotion.

With a single sentence, he had calmed the panicked crowd, made them obey his orders, and swiftly enter action.

At the Space Station.

Aside from Herta.

Perhaps only the young man before her, Chen Mu, could accomplish this.

Not even Asta could do it.

"This feels kind of different from what I imagined..."

March 7th stared blankly at the researchers who had become busy and said so.

In her imagination.

Everyone should have worked together to resist the Doomsday Beast's assault, only driving it away or destroying it after giving their all.

Although that seemed to be what was happening now, something still felt off.

Himeko chuckled when she heard that.

Of course it was different.

Not just anyone could possess Star Destroyers to fight a Doomsday Beast.

How many factions in the universe even had Star Destroyers?

Even the Space Station would not have any now if Chen Mu had not become interested and built two of them back then.

However...

Himeko walked up to Chen Mu and reminded him, "Chen Mu, using the Star Destroyers to eliminate the Doomsday Beast is indeed feasible, but it's currently too close to the Space Station. If we use the Star Destroyers rashly, the Space Station may be caught in the blast."

The Doomsday Beast was still clinging to the Space Station, trying to break through its defenses.

At such a close distance, it was impossible for the Space Station not to be affected.

"I know that, of course. Don't worry, I have a way to solve it."

Chen Mu chuckled and replied to Himeko.

Himeko nodded at his words and said nothing more.

She knew that since Chen Mu said so, he naturally had his own plan.

"Aim all Star Destroyers at Stellar Sea Latitude..."

Chen Mu gave the order without hesitation!

That was an area some distance from the Space Station, far enough that it would not affect the Space Station.

"Yes!"

The many researchers nodded without hesitation and responded in unison before immediately taking action.

No one asked why.

They all trusted Chen Mu without reservation.

Meanwhile, March 7th was completely dumbfounded when she heard that location.
