Bai Luan quickly upgraded the Space Station's defenses, adding anti-fire demon devices.
If Duke Inferno were to come again, there would be no need for Herta to deal with him.
After completing all this, Bai Luan, as the Station Master of the Space Station, solemnly responded by recording a news bulletin:
[Space Station Bulletin]
Our station was attacked by the Annihilation Gang, who worship destruction; all parties worked together to avert danger.
"Recently, our station experienced a sudden security incident.
An armed force calling themselves the "Annihilation Gang," claiming to worship destruction but never having received a glance from Nanook, launched an attack on the Space Station, causing a brief period of disorder within the station.
In this critical moment, acting Station Master Asta calmly commanded, demonstrating exceptional leadership and adaptability.
All Staff members united and cooperated, holding their posts and effectively executing emergency plans.
Additionally, Mr. Screwllum, Professor Ratio, and the Trailblazer, Yi Mu, promptly offered assistance, providing crucial support in responding to the crisis.
Through the joint efforts of multiple parties, this attack has been completely brought under control, and the Space Station's operational order has fully resumed.
It is gratifying to note that no personnel casualties occurred throughout the entire incident.
I hereby address Duke Inferno, the leader of the Annihilation Gang:
Even if you are a fire demon, being covered in flames cannot hide the reality that you are so insignificant you cannot attract Nanook's gaze.
Your ideology is as meaningless as your birth; your ideology is not recognized by Nanook and is even considered filth, and your birth is an unconscious product of His destruction. He cares about neither.
As someone who has been glanced upon by an Aeon, I might be able to offer you some academic advice—change careers, Duke Inferno; you are more suited for Elation.
I've seen many people tell jokes and many people create jokes, but very few people live their lives as a joke, and you, Duke Inferno, you have achieved it.
Your pathetic appearance, constantly seeking but never obtaining, and your heinous, meaningless life are all funny enough to be worthy of a glance from the Aeon of Elation.
Listen to reason, Duke Inferno; look at what the original Doctor said about you—how apt! Why must you, a genius of Elation, insist on this crooked path of Destruction?
Destroying your talent as a comedic genius won't attract Nanook's gaze either."
At this moment, in the Everflame Mansion.
Duke Inferno sat on his throne, surrounded by his offspring, silently watching Bai Luan's official reply.
He snorted coldly and waved his hand to dismiss the image.
"It is merely the quick wit of those who miraculously survived; no matter how much they resist the arrival of 'Destruction,' 'Destruction' will always descend upon them."
"Father... should we go to the Space Station again?"
"No need; compared to them, the Planet of Festivities is more worthy of destruction. There is no need to change our itinerary for this."
Duke Inferno waved his hand, dispelling Bai Luan's image.
"When we return from Penacony, that will be the moment of the Space Station's destruction."
The moment his words fell, at the entrance of the Everflame Mansion, a clear, steady, yet invisibly oppressive sound of footsteps echoed.
All eyes instantly turned to the tall figure slowly emerging from the shadows.
"Who goes there!?"
One of Duke Inferno's offspring sharply demanded.
The newcomer held an ancient longsword, her steps unhurried, as if strolling from a silent realm of death.
She raised her eyes, her gaze a void of deep purple.
"Acheron."
Her voice was calm and unruffled, yet it contained a sharpness that could sever all.
"I am here to retrieve something."
"Alone, you trespass into the Everflame Mansion..."
Duke Inferno slowly rose from his throne.
"Whether you are an ignorant fool or an arrogant madman, your fate is already sealed—only complete destruction!"
A fierce battle erupted suddenly.(T/N: if you can even call that battle...)
And the outcome, the moment Acheron stepped through the door, seemed already written...
After a busy period, the Space Station finally resumed normal operations.
Asta also recovered, so Bai Luan, the Station Master, resigned at lightning speed.
However, although Bai Luan stepped down from the duties of Station Master, he still decided to continue caring for the Space Station.
Although everyone has returned to their daily work, the shadow left by the Annihilation Gang's attack will likely linger in the minds of the Staff for some time.
At this point, he needed to take action, do something lively, and help them dispel the gloom in their hearts.
After experiencing such an upheaval, the most important thing is to change their mood and make everyone laugh more.
I must create something lively to make you all happy.
So Bai Luan started producing DJ remixes again.
This time, Bai Luan chose "Heart Wall."
"I learn not to worry too much about the distant future
Not to plan too much
Instead, I can bravely take risks
Live each day richly
Watch each day happily
Wooh~
The first time I met a cloudy day that obscured your profile
What stories I want to understand
I feel I understand your uniqueness."
Good, very good, just this section.
Slightly speeding up its rhythm, adding DJ drum beats, and finally, swaying with the song, the feeling would be completely different.
The most important thing was the dance.
It had to be danced with flair, swagger, and fluidity, completely immersed in it, to give that feeling of an MVP Settlement screen after it's all over.
Only then could Bai Luan achieve the desired effect!
Soon, Bai Luan began recording the dance, and during the recording, Yi Mu passed by.
Yi Mu learned the meaning of recording this video from Bai Luan and immediately, with sparkling eyes, declared:
"Count me in! Count me in!"
So Bai Luan added a shot of Yi Mu passing by and seeing him dance to the video, then the camera shifted, and Yi Mu joined the fray.
Soon, the video recording was complete, and Bai Luan contentedly uploaded it.
Because this video was placed after the Space Station's response to the attack video, everyone unconsciously linked the two.
"When Yi Mu learned that the Space Station had perfectly repelled the attack with no casualties:"
"I am a Space Station Staff, and I want to clarify that our Station Master is not as sad as he appears in the video."
"So joyful, so smug."
"On the surface: serious and solemn statement, sharp criticism of the Annihilation Gang.
Behind the scenes: not planning too much, instead bravely taking risks, living each day richly, watching each day happily."
"The Annihilation Gang will probably be furious when they see this... Hahaha."
"Seeing that they are still so abstract, one knows this incident didn't have much of a major impact."
The lively video, once recorded, had a significant effect; after all, combined with recent events, it was hard to keep a straight face.
But to completely change their mood, these alone were not enough. What could truly soothe the hearts of the Space Station personnel was, of course, our Inspiration Shroom!
So Bai Luan's strategy was to create a calming instrumental piece, paired with a tranquil wallpaper of Inspiration Shroom and Chizuru, to give the Space Station Staff a thorough spiritual cleansing.
Perfectly, after making so many abstract videos, according to his previous abstract threshold management theory, it was now time for him to do something serious!
Songblight! Activate!
The track to be arranged this time is!
"Space Walk"
Of course, directly saying this name might not leave much of an impression.
Changing the name makes it much easier to recognize.
The Space Station's little tune.
Whenever it plays, it makes people feel a slight twinge in their liver, but setting aside the influence of past life memories, this song is excellent as music.
Then, combining Inspiration Shroom, Chizuru, a Space Station module, and the starry sky to form a warm animated wallpaper, perfect.
Soon, Bai Luan finished the final product.
He had so many photos of Inspiration Shroom on his phone.
Inspiration Shroom floated in front of the Space Station window, gazing at the beautiful starry sky outside, quietly drifting, while Chizuru slept peacefully on the UFO base, occasionally wiggling her little head.
Perfect!
Bai Luan was very satisfied with the animated wallpaper he created, and before Songblight released this song, he first shared the wallpaper in the Space Station's group chat.
This sharing was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, instantly erupting.
