Facing this frail human, the apocalyptic beast showed no intention of backing down.
He stood high above, spreading his wings, and under the power of the antimatter core engine, flowing light patterns gradually appeared on his wings.
In an instant, dozens of points of light filled the dark starry sky. The light emitted by the gathered energy was arranged in a jumble on both sides of the wings, looking down on the people on the platform like gods descending.
It was more like a mortal holding a long knife, attempting to challenge the "gods" below, and a sense of fear brought by the colossal object gradually spread in the atmosphere before them.
"Zhou Xiao! Don't be reckless!"
As Zhou Xiao continued to rise in power in the center of the vortex, March 7's voice was barely audible amidst the layers of air waves.
She wanted to put on a shield and pull Zhou Xiao away, but she couldn't move forward.
...
The power of the gale attached to Zhou Xiaodao's body, transforming it into an even straighter and longer blade, inexplicably reminding people of the phrase "eighty-meter-long broadsword".
Under the self-discipline enhancement of the Light Cone Gale, Zhou Xiao swung the long sword in his hand.
cut!
A flash of cold light.
The blade formed from the airflow seemed to have no defense that could stop its strikes, mercilessly slicing through everything in Zhou Xiao's way, including cutting through a small part of the Doomsday Beast's body.
Aww—
As the energy supply was cut off, the massive body of the Doomsday Beast broke apart at a speed visible to the naked eye, with one arm and the wing on the same side also being separated.
The balance was broken, the light dimmed, and the horns of judgment ceased. The doomsday beast, having lost half its wings, staggered and struggled for a moment above the star field like a bird with its wings torn off, ultimately unable to escape its fate of being unable to fly...
...
Holy crap.
Is he serious?
The shock in March 7's eyes was beyond words when he witnessed the power of Zhou Xiao's strike up close.
She initially thought Zhou Xiao was just showing off...
However, unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao actually possessed this ability...
At a distance on the platform, Ji Zi and the others, who also witnessed this scene, were astonished by Zhou Xiao's slash.
Himeko remained silent, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected Zhou Xiao to hide something...
Recalling the first time she met Zhou Xiao, she was still quite naive. At that time, Zhou Xiao seemed to be someone who longed for the starry sky. At Zhou Xiao's request, she let him get in the car. Also, because she felt that Zhou Xiao's strength was not enough, she asked Zhou Xiao to do logistics work.
...
Dan Heng, standing beside Ji Zi, was increasingly unable to ascertain the true extent of Zhou Xiao's strength...
You should know that they often sparred and challenged each other on the train.
At the time, he thought Zhou Xiao's strength was at most a 50/50 match for his...
...
Just as everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts after Zhou Xiao's slash, the doomsday beast, which had lost half of its body, plummeted straight toward the space station platform. Just as it was about to crash into the train that was about to depart, a man holding a cane appeared above the train, followed by a small black hole simulated by gravity appearing in everyone's sight.
A powerful gravitational force forcibly captured the body of this apocalyptic beast, pulling it outwards and continuously devouring and disintegrating it...
It's Walter Young.
Walter silently adjusted his glasses, looked at the crowd on the platform, and said very calmly, "I'm here." His calm tone gave people a sense of composure and complete control.
"Uncle Yang...why are you so late?" Upon seeing Walter, March 7th's tense emotions finally relaxed completely.
Walter jumped off the train, his gaze lingering on Zhou Xiao for a few seconds.
"Uncle Yang, you should have come sooner! The sooner you had arrived, the crisis would have been resolved much earlier."
This was the first time Zhou Xiao had witnessed Walter Yang's methods since his transmigration. The appearance of this simulated black hole was indeed quite surprising to him.
"If I had arrived any earlier, I wouldn't have witnessed the brilliance of your strike."
Walter pushed up his glasses again. He had just been pulled by Pam to start the train and create a simulated black hole. He originally wanted to reveal himself to give this doomsday beast a surprise attack, but he did not expect Zhou Xiao to unleash such power.
The group gathered on the platform.
The train started moving at that moment, leaving the platform of the Black Tower Space Station. Hearing the roar of the train starting, Himeko and Dan Heng, who were carrying Xing towards the platform, stopped and watched the departing Star Train. If this moment were frozen in time, it would definitely be a famous interstellar painting.
The painting is titled "Wait a minute, I haven't gotten on the bus yet."
...
After seeing that the remains of the Doomsday Beast had been mostly swallowed up by Walter Yang's mimicry black hole and posed no threat, Zhou Xiao finally sheathed his longsword.
Don't say it.
The enhancement of this light cone truly surprised him.
Although it didn't completely destroy the doomsday beast in one strike, it still managed to cut off nearly half of its body... If it were to land another blow, the effect would definitely be even more explosive.
Another thing that surprised him was... Kaffa's longsword.
The quality is really good.
The blade can withstand a certain intensity of gale force. It should be noted that he had tried to attach gale force to the blade before, but most of the longswords broke because they could not withstand it.
Good knife.
Good light cone.
...
Although the apocalyptic beast was defeated and the train was largely undamaged, but...
His gaze fell on Xingmei, who was not far away.
However, the power of the star core within Xingmei's body does not seem to have been activated.
That's enough.
Whether it's stimulated or not has nothing to do with me.
Zhou Xiao thought to himself.
...
Since the train had been traveling back for some time, the passengers, at Himeko's suggestion, returned to the main control section first.
Back in the main control module, Estella still looked as busy as ever. Although Zhou Xiao and Walter Yang had dealt with the Doomsday Beast, there were still quite a few soldiers of the Antimatter Legion inside the space station that needed to be cleared.
"Thank you so much this time."
Upon seeing the train crew arrive, Estella put down her work and thanked them repeatedly, especially when she saw Zhou Xiao, a complete stranger.
She had also seen Zhou Xiao's slash through the external view of the space station.
"You must be Zhou Xiao. You were a huge help on the space station this time..."
Estelle generously expressed her gratitude to Zhou Xiao, making him feel as if he had come specifically to help the space station.
We came to the space station to replenish supplies... We fought our way out with Alan and the others because we were rushing back to the train to complete the self-discipline achievement reward... As for the battle with the Doomsday Beasts, that was to prevent the train from suffering too much damage...
Zhou Xiao briefly recalled his purpose in coming to the space station and the motives behind those actions that seemed to help the space station. He suddenly felt as if he had done nothing, yet also as if he had done everything.
It's really strange.
