Even if I'm too weak to join the Combat Corps, being able to contribute from the rear still makes me very happy!
The only regret is that after joining the Endgame, I've never been able to witness the charisma of Lord Xiano in person.
Of this great figure, who now commands respect worldwide.
Her impression still lingers on the terrifying overpowering feeling when she first saw him defeat her former boss back then.
Just as Mikita was about to lie down and enjoy the sunset and evening breeze at the highest point of the island...
Huh?
She suddenly seemed to notice something, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and looked up at the sky in disbelief.
Am I seeing things?
Or is it a mirage?
—Up in the sky, hundreds of meters high, appeared a figure so familiar, one that had appeared countless times in her dreams.
The handsome and slender young man stood in mid-air with arms crossed, while a black cloak fluttered behind him.
After glancing down, he suddenly began to pull back his right fist to gather power, crackling! Black and red lightning entwined around it, spreading in all directions, and in the next moment, he punched full force into the vast barren desert!
"Galaxy... Impact!"
Boom!!!
The violent cross-shaped shockwave pierced through the sky and earth, descending upon them!
"No!"
Mikita's eyes were almost blinded, but she didn't have time to close them. She stood up in panic, desperately waving her arms towards the sky:
"No! Lord Xiano! Look over here, I'm still here!"
No, it seemed Lord Xiano had also noticed her, so he adjusted the direction slightly, and the shockwave didn't reach her side.
But what on earth was Lord Xiano doing?
Was he testing the power of some new move? Why unleash it here, in his own territory!
Even though there's no one around in the dune area, such a punch would have a terrible impact on the ecosystem of the entire island, right?!
Buzz!
Unexpectedly, just as the shockwave was about to reach the dunes.
Countless pale green barriers, like canopies, suddenly appeared in mid-air, blocking the shockwave!
The power of this punch clearly reached the limit of what the barriers could withstand, causing intense ripples on the surface, like waves.
But eventually, it subsided.
"Phew, phew..."
Mikita, still shaken, sat paralyzed on the dunes as the pale green barriers above her head slowly dissolved.
What on earth was that?
She looked around the sky and found that Xiano's figure had vanished, and in the distance, the sunset continued to spread calmly over the horizon.
As if everything just now had been an illusion.
Until...
A quite satisfied voice came from behind: "Hmm, to think it could barely block even my Galaxy Impact, quite effective. Looks like my trip to Impel Down wasn't in vain."
"From now on, my fortress will be as solid as a rock, easy to defend, hard to breach, no one can enter!"
Mikita turned around sharply, only to find that at some point Xiano had appeared behind her, gazing upwards at the dispersing green barrier.
"Lord, Lord Xiano!"
She hurriedly jumped up, suppressing her excitement, and saluted:
"Mikita, liaison officer of the third branch of the Infrastructure Corps, reporting to you! I can't believe it's really you, I'm so happy, do... do you remember me?"
"Remember you? Mikita, was it? I don't have much of an impression of that name."
Xiano turned at her voice, blinked, then suddenly clapped his fist to his palm in realization:
"Ah! I remember now, it's you, the gym equipment!"
