'Hey, isn't this ready-made music?'
Lucian thought of a brilliant idea and then walked toward the singing halovians.
"Halovians!"
He spread his hands wide and exclaimed with a solemn expression.
"I will grant you the power to become invincible—immune to any harm!"
"As long as you keep singing the hymn, you can protect your people, protect your homeland, and save Penacony!"
"..."
In an instant, the singing halovians stopped, looked at each other in confusion, then gazed at Lucian as if looking at a lunatic.
"Uhh... who is he?"
"He's not a halovian? What is he doing in this place?"
"Does anyone know him?"
"No..."
All the gathered halovians whispered with each other—some looked confused, some frowned, some were indifferent.
"Aaaah~"
Just then, Serfina, believing in the man who had saved her life and her children, opened her mouth and began singing a halovian hymn without hesitation.
Lucian glanced at Sefina with raised brows, then did not waste words and directly activated BGM, setting the halovian hymn Serfina sang as the background music for BGM.
In the next moment, what followed was a miracle triggered by the activation of a conceptual ability.
Golden light began to radiate in circles from Serfina's throat, and as her singing fluctuated in volume, the light expanded and contracted accordingly.
In an instant, a strong sense of security immediately filled the hearts of everyone within the range of her voice.
"No way..."
"I-It's true! I feel like... I feel invincible!"
"I'll sing too!"
"If this isn't the power of Harmony, it's a miracle!"
One halovian took the lead, and soon, the others also began singing the same hymn that Serfina sang, one after another.
Just like Serfina, as golden light began to radiate in circles from their throats and then expanded outward, everyone around them suddenly felt an invincible sensation, causing fear and panic to quickly fade, replaced by courage and fearlessness!
Robin, listening to the people singing together and hearing her mother's voice, was no longer afraid as she watched those singing in awe.
"Alright, next, everyone spread out." Lucian stated the next instruction. "Remember—keep singing, and you will always be invincible."
Even though his claim sounded absurd, the halovians, in such a dire situation with no other alternatives, had no time to doubt it. If their god were not coming to save them, they had to cling to any hope they could.
In the end, all the halovians sang together, scattering to various places, and miraculously, wherever they went, the collapse would stop—even fallen buildings could not harm them in the slightest.
"HELP!"
"HELP US!"
"HELP!!!"
Suddenly, those who were still running away from the collapsing ground saw the miraculous power of the halovians and cried out for help, rushing toward them as if grasping a lifeline.
Before long, large groups of people gathered around the halovians who had spread out.
Just as Lucian had said, as long as they did not stop singing, they were invincible—even the ground beneath their feet would not be torn apart by the vortex.
Unfortunately, because the number of the halovians was small, they were unable to protect everyone in the Dreamscape.
'Seems like my BGM is better than the power of Harmony—it's basically an invincible domain...'
Lucian noticed that within the range of the sound waves, everything abnormal and harmful was nullified.
Wasn't that an invincible domain?
It even protected everything within the range.
'Next time I meet Nous, I'll just set up a loudspeaker and use BGM on it. Let's see what you will do.'
Naturally, while casually musing, Lucian didn't remain idle.
He knew that to solve this crisis, he needed to seal the Stellaron, or this chaos would never stop.
"Remember, don't stop singing." Lucian glanced at the beautiful mother beside him, then looked up. "I'm gonna handle the Stellaron."
"Stellaron?" Serfina followed his gaze, her face changing slightly. "You... Please be careful..."
As her words fell, Lucian had already turned away, stepping off the edge of the floating ground as his figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight toward the terrifying vortex in the sky, one that could even devour the Dreamscape itself.
Even though his determined back was small in the eyes of countless fearful and desperate onlookers, it strangely emanated a sense of strength that brought comfort.
"Has he... gone nuts?"
"Hey, that's a Stellaron! It's the Cancer of All Worlds that can swallow even the Dreamscape! It was only suppressed after countless lives were sacrificed! How's one person supposed to..."
"It's over... the hero is done for!"
As those who had been saved by Lucian's power watched him jump into the vortex, their astonishment and worries were palpable.
Sunday clenched his little fists tightly, staring at the spot where Lucian disappeared, his small face filled with tension.
Robin peeked out from her mother's arms, her big eyes reflecting the scene of destruction in the distance.
"Mama, will that big brother save us?" Robin asked softly.
At this question, Serfina held her daughter tightly and could not give an answer, but even so, she knew that the stranger was their only hope at this moment.
===
At this moment, the center area where the Stellaron erupted had already completely descended into a chaotic hell.
A violent energy storm tore apart everything, warping the space itself, while the gaping hole in the Dreamscape was further magnified by the Stellaron and began devouring everything around it.
Several meters away, Lucian locked his gaze on the Stellaron for a moment, then activated Absolute Hit, piercing through the distorted space and appearing right in front of it.
As soon as he appeared before it, the Stellaron seemed to sense the threat and began releasing even fiercer energy blasts, but—
"Shut up."
Lucian spoke calmly, his gaze sharpening while his right hand slowly reached out.
*Pa!*
He calmly gripped the Stellaron within the center of his palm—there was no earth-shattering aura, no dazzling light—just a casual grasp that had seized the Stellaron, with no immediate attempt to suppress it.
*Buzz—!*
In that instant, however, the Stellaron's violent energy, upon making contact with Lucian's palm, eerily calmed and then... vanished.
As for what Lucian had done?
He had merely used the power of the Elation to seal the Stellaron.
In just a few breaths, the terrifying Stellaron that had been devouring the Dreamscape and causing devastation was now quietly resting in his palm.
All the pulling forces, the destructive aura, and the raging energy storms disappeared without a trace, leaving the entire collapsed area of the Dreamscape submerged in an eerie silence.
Only the faint sound of the Memory Zone turbulence, now slowly calming, remained.
""AH!""
A few seconds of silence later, from the distant floating ground, collective gasps echoed.
Lucian weighed the docile golden 'stone' in his hand, casually tucking it into his pocket like a pebble he had picked up off the road, before dusting off his hands and calmly returning to the others.
In the next moment, when his figure reappeared on the edge of the floating ground, what greeted him was total silence.
"..."
All the halovians, pepeshi, intellitrons, including Sunday, Robin, and Serfina, all stood frozen, their gazes vacant as they looked at him, staring at the man who had just caught a Stellaron with his bare hands, treating it like an ordinary rock he kept in his pocket.
"Alright, you all are safe now."
Lucian, long accustomed to being watched like this by countless eyes, spoke calmly, his expression nonchalant.
*Thud!*
Suddenly, one of the halovians knelt on both knees.
"O Savior! Thank you for saving Penacony! Thank you for saving us!"
Like a domino effect, all the halovians on the floating ground, regardless of age or gender, fell to their knees one by one, worshiping Lucian with devotion.
"Savior!"
"Savior!"
"Savior!"
All of them sang hymns to Lucian, treating him like a god's envoy.
It couldn't be helped.
Anyone who treated a Stellaron so casually was definitely not an ordinary being.
And so, with the same belief, the other races present also followed suit, expressing their gratitude and making the scene quite spectacular.
Once the fervor was ignited, how could it be so easily extinguished?
Now, all the people looked at him with awe, gratitude, and fervent faith, as if he were a god.
"Big Brother! You're so amazing! You're everyone's hero!"
Robin, breaking free from Serfina's hand, ran up to Lucian, gazing up at him with wide eyes full of pure admiration, offering praise after praise, while her tiny hand cautiously reached out to tug at his sleeve.
Lucian had to admit that, compared to the beautiful and elegant Robin he met in reality, this Robin was so cute and funny.
Following Robin, Sunday also approached, and though shy, he knelt and mimicked the others, then surprisingly bowed three times with loud thumps before Lucian.
Seeing her children's actions, Serfina stepped forward with grace and dignity, giving Lucian a deep bow, her eyes filled with grateful tears.
"Savior, you have saved our people, saved the foundation of Penacony. We will never forget this kindness."
Lucian gazed at the crowd kneeling before him, at Robin's admiring eyes, at Sunday's bow, and then at the grateful Serfina.
Seeing the destruction around him and hearing the hymn of the savior that echoed in his ears, he understood in his heart that he was, apparently, once again being forced into leadership.
If that were the case, he definitely needed to find some elites like Mikhail to help him with the work, but sadly, he wasn't sure what timeline he was in now, so he wasn't sure where Mikhail was located at present.
Regardless, his main targets were still the same—Robin and Serfina.
As for Sunday, he would just raise him along with Robin and go with the flow.
