Centaurea immediately activated Time Stop.

"I do value my life, after all, you only have one life, and if you die, you die."

"But if I were to sacrifice a few innocent lives for my sake, I wouldn't feel guilty, but I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night either. Oh, and it might even accelerate the resurgence of that extraterrestrial Demons. It would be a losing proposition."

"So I'll do it myself."

Instead of sitting in the car and waiting for the bodyguards to scout out the mines for her, Centaurea chose not to.

Instead, she used the Time Stop, and Centaurea pushed open the car door, stepped out on her high heels, and got out of the car.

With Time Stop, Centaurea has enough time.

That was enough for her to go to the venue and find a few people mixed in with the crowd, who were carrying daggers and arrows.

That was enough for her to go to the high platform, where she found several Unarmored Alliance who were sniping from a hidden corner.

That was enough for her to go to the stage, find the tampered iron frame on the roof, and touch several High Originium Energy Bomb in the lift platform.

"The government really thinks highly of me. My current net worth isn't even a fraction of what these High Originium Energy Bomb cost. How many of me could those board members buy with that money?"

Centaurea held the High Originium Energy Bomb in her hand, muttering to herself with a speechless expression.

"But I can understand it."

"After all, the whole thing started on the night the Unarmored Alliance tried to assassinate me but failed."

"Even though they can't find any evidence to prove that I did it, my existence is definitely a thorn in their side."

Therefore, it is quite obvious why the board of directors of the Commercial Federation would use High Originium Energy Bomb.

The power of just one bomb was enough to blow the entire stage away.

Even if Centaurea were to survive by sheer luck, if even one fragment from the Originium Bomb were to hit Centaurea during the explosion, she would almost certainly Oripathy Centaurea and become an Infected.

The best outcome for Centaurea after becoming infected...

"In Terra, where becoming infected means being deprived of human rights, what is the best outcome?"

Therefore, the meaning of the Commercial Federation is very clear.

Although I don't know whether you, Centaurea, are the mastermind behind this, I just find you annoying.

So, Centaurea, you either die or get out.

"My young lady was right after all; she really is desperate."

"So, is this commercial performance my last one as an idol?"

If Centaurea is dead, then so be it.

But if Centaurea survives, she might immediately turn around and leave.

The board of directors of that Commercial Federation won't care how you survived. They're desperate and will put Centaurea on their kill list.

And what about Centaurea?

She was about to be killed. Even the most good-tempered person wouldn't wave their hands and say, "Anyway, I survived, so it's okay."

Therefore, when those High Originium Energy Bomb were discovered, the conflict between Centaurea and the Commercial Federation had already reached a point of no return.

"Your last performance as an idol?"

Chen Ran's voice rang in Centaurea's mind at that moment. "If that's the case, then I happen to have a song on hand right now. Little Platinum, would you like to try singing it?"

What song?

"Centaurea asked."

"Sofia, a Spanish song."

Chen Ran paused, as if he were looking up some information. "Oh, I found it. According to Little Platinum's world, it's the Song of Iberia."

"Sofia...? Sofia?"

Centaurea didn't seem to care about Spain or Iberia, since she couldn't understand it anyway.

So, relatively speaking, Centaurea became curious about the song title.

"Yeah, wanna sing?"

"... You can be quite mean at times."

Centaurea smiled, a rare occurrence for her. "I can already imagine my young lady waking up and hearing me sing this song, probably yelling something like, 'Centaurea! What kind of nonsense are you singing?!'"

Despite saying that, after listening to the lyrics Chen Ran told her, Centaurea nodded and said, "Okay, I'll sing it. Anyway, it's the last show, so let's just give that young lady a little surprise."

So, thanks to the Time Stop, from the perspective of real time, Centaurea learned the song almost instantly and mastered it perfectly.
