"Ha!"
With a low roar, the void of the surrounding starfield abruptly shook. A figure of light raised his head, his battered body rapidly repairing itself as he gazed toward Blue Star.

"Now that I'm out, it's time I headed into the stars to fight.
"As you know, Blue Star's survival hangs on this battle. Before, I wanted to entrust Liuli to you, so that even if I died, I could rest easy.

Apart from Amaterasu Kong, he might possess the greatest combat strength on Blue Star
