Chapter 65: Stelle Charges, Stelle Falls
Tony and Kizaru went to read the previous chat logs, while Stelle...
"Rich lady... hungry... food..."
Kenji covered his face. The abstract "Stellaron Spirit" was hugging the fair leg of a certain pink-haired young lady, rubbing her face against it.
Furina looked down at her own fair legs and suddenly felt the need to wear pants. She felt very unsafe.
Let's rewind to two and a half minutes ago—
After Asta arrived, and Stelle learned that she was the rich station master Kenji had mentioned, she immediately slid over and hugged Asta's leg. And she had to admit, as expected of a rich lady's leg, what brand of shower gel did she use? It smelled so good, she wanted to lick it.
Perhaps feeling that it wasn't enough, Stelle became even more audacious, her head moving toward the base of Asta's thigh. It looked like she was going for an epic sniff.
"Uh... please let go."
Asta's face was beet red, a mixture of shame and anger. She pressed her hands firmly against Stelle's head, which was trying to advance further, a look of panic in her eyes. She had seen it all, but she had never seen such an abstract creature as Stelle, with absolutely no sense of personal boundaries.
Kenji was silent. Could it be that the special Stellaron is at work? He remembered that Stelle wasn't this abstract at the beginning of the story.
Hajike-Stelle, you...
Caelus looked at Stelle with disgust. How did he get involved with a creature like this? It's just a rich young lady. Is it really necessary? His gaze couldn't help but fall on Asta's other, un-hugged leg.
"I'm not letting go, rich older sister. I feel like your fair and tender leg is missing a pendant."
"What do you think of me? I can be a little puppy or a steel wool ball for a rich lady."
Stelle had made her choice: between endless credits and her integrity, she would definitely choose the credits. How much was integrity worth? Her godfather hadn't dropped any gold coins yet, and her pockets were cleaner than her face.
Asta: "..."
She really couldn't handle this. She looked up at Himeko for help. This is the person you Nameless brought back. If she didn't trust Himeko's character, she would have thought Stelle was a follower of Aha the Elation.
Himeko sighed helplessly and lifted Stelle by the scruff of her neck. She had been thinking about inviting her to join the Astral Express before. But now... she was too abstract. She felt that if Stelle became a Trailblazer, the reputation of the Astral Express would be severely affected. No, it seemed it had already been damaged.
Just as Asta breathed a sigh of relief, a piercing alarm blared, and countless red exclamation marks appeared on the screen.
Through the surveillance footage, a Doomsday Beast was tearing through the space station's protective shield. It wouldn't hold for long.
"It's a Doomsday Beast, the Legion's anti-astral weapon," Himeko's eyes narrowed. This was not something the Voidrangers could compare to.
"There's another one."
Asta had a headache. If she could just buy a few star destroyers, she wouldn't have to be on the defensive like this. It was a fear born of insufficient firepower. Unfortunately, although her allowance was enough, she couldn't get her hands on a star destroyer unless she used her family's connections.
Kenji was slightly taken aback. Two Doomsday Beasts? Was it because of them, the variables?
"Ms. Ruan Mei, you..."
"Don't look at me. I don't have that kind of power," Ruan Mei said calmly. For now, the space station was not in danger, and the Astral Express crew was here. If it really came down to a life-or-death situation, she didn't believe that woman, Herta, would remain indifferent.
"You guys go first... I'll stay," Asta said with determination.
March 7th wanted to say something, but Himeko pulled her away. Kenji and the others followed.
This is going to be fun to watch.
"Himeko, wait. Take this weapon and try it out."
Kenji took out a complete God-Slaying Sword, which he had created and restored from a fragment of the original.
"?"
"This sword..."
The moment Himeko gripped the hilt of the God-Slaying Sword, her expression flickered. A whisper seemed to echo in her ear.
"She is reborn from the fire, and she smiles in the fire."
For some reason, this sentence made her see a vision of a group of lovely people fighting for all that was beautiful in the world. It must have been a healthy, sunny, and positive story.
"Thank you," Himeko said softly. Although she hadn't used a greatsword much, she felt a strong connection to the God-Slaying Sword.
She had already thought of a catchphrase for her move.
It would be called—"Blazing Extinction."
Herta Space Station, Platform.
The Doomsday Beast soared through space. Himeko wore an unsurprised expression. As expected, it had come for Stelle's aura.
"Get down here!"
Brave March-chan drew her bow and shouted at the Doomsday Beast.
Doomsday Beast: "I'm coming for you!"
The Doomsday Beast was very obliging. It landed on the platform, and the resulting gust of wind made it impossible for them to open their eyes.
Himeko and the others couldn't help but turn to look at March 7th.
March 7th's face stiffened: "I didn't know!"
Who knew it would be so obliging?
March 7th: "You didn't have to come down."
Doomsday Beast: "See? You're not happy now that I'm down here."
Tengai Shinsei (crossed out)
"—Starfall!"
Kenji summoned a small, burning meteorite from space, which crashed down on the other Doomsday Beast, knocking it to the ground.
Starfire could incinerate all things, reducing even stars to nothingness. This attack, like the falling of the sky, brought an equal fear to all beings.
The first Doomsday Beast, which had been called down by March 7th, looked at its colleague. What's wrong with this little brother?
"ROAR!"
The second Doomsday Beast let out an angry roar. Its wings had been melted by the flames, and it couldn't fly anymore.
"One isn't enough. Let's have a few more."
"So many meteorites—all for you," Kenji muttered to himself, starting a barrage of Starfalls. After all, there were plenty of small meteorites in space, and he didn't have a cooldown timer.
Feel the wrath of the stars.
Too brutal.
This was the unanimous opinion of Himeko and the others.
Roar, roar, roar...
Although the Doomsday Beast's body was tougher than a Voidranger's, these meteorites were enchanted with Starfire, dealing both physical and magical damage. And the move also came with a slow and stun effect.
Kenji estimated that his current strength, in the world of Honkai: Star Rail, should be at the stronger end of the Pathstriders, still a ways off from an Emanator. In the chat group, Apollo's strength was currently the greatest.
(Author's Note: In this book's setting, using Honkai: Star Rail as a reference, a peak-level Apollo (without absorbing the power of the Galaxy Star) is the strongest being below the Aeons. He can fight with a few individual Aeons and can mobilize the power of any star.)
"Watch me."
"Taste this!"
Stelle charged forward confidently, swinging the baseball bat in her hand at the Doomsday Beast. Watch me, the Galactic Baseballer, show my might!
Thud!
All thunder, no rain. A flurry of moves as fierce as a tiger, but the skill didn't even crit.
Stelle's swing only left a slight scratch. The first Doomsday Beast looked down at her.
Stelle awkwardly picked at her feet: "..."
Doomsday Beast #1: "Is that it?"
Stelle forced a smile: "Uh, can we call a truce?"
Doomsday Beast #1: "At this moment?! Hajike-Stelle, you're not joking, are you?"
Doomsday Beast #1: "Time to die."
Thud. Thud. Thud—
The first Doomsday Beast grabbed Stelle by the legs and began to smash her left and right against the super-alloy floor (think Hulk smashing Loki).
Thud!
After it was done playing, the first Doomsday Beast threw Stelle back. She was now bruised and swollen, her hands in front of her, her eyes much clearer.
Hajike-Stelle has breathed her last~
Himeko and the others: "... (-_-||)"
And we thought you could handle it yourself.
Now she had become a "comedian."
"Kafka, was Stelle this abstract before?"
On a small asteroid not far from the space station, Silver Wolf couldn't bear to watch. She was tempted to say that Stelle had nothing to do with the Stellaron Hunters.
A muscle in Kafka's eye twitched. "It's probably because of that strange Stellaron." She could only explain it that way to comfort her own turbulent heart.
Kenji glanced over. The "Stellaron Spirit's" body was quite tough. Not to mention being elbow-dropped from the sky on Olympos, she had also taken a big move to the face and been stabbed in the heart, and she had survived it all.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~"
Caelus looked down at Stelle with a pitying gaze. Showing off got you sent flying, huh?
"What are you looking at?"
Stelle stood up as if nothing had happened, the wounds on her face healing quickly. How dare you subject the Galactic Baseballer to such a great humiliation.
Bold Doomsday Beast, you have a death wish.
