"Oh no, dodge first!" Asta exclaimed, and just as she was about to control the Star Destroyer to dodge the Doomsday Beast's attack range, she realized she had concentrated most of her power on the main cannon. There wasn't much energy maintaining the Star Destroyer's defense system. If the Doomsday Beast's charged attack hit in this situation, even if the Star Destroyer wasn't destroyed, Asta would feel heartache for a long, long time.
"Keep accumulating power, I'll handle the Doomsday Beast's attack," Takagi patted Asta's shoulder and said.
As his words fell, Asta and the others were surprised to find a huge spatial rift appearing out of thin air directly in front of the energy ball launched by the Doomsday Beast. The energy ball crashed into it and disappeared directly before everyone's eyes.
"Di... disappeared?" March 7th said in surprise.
"That is a spatial entrance opened by Aether Editing. Lord Takagi used this ability to transfer the Doomsday Beast's attack, right? However, I have never heard of anyone being able to transfer the Doomsday Beast's powerful attack using the power of Aether Editing. Should I say it's worthy of being Lord Takagi?" Himeko looked at Takagi and said with emotion.
"Transferred? Takagi, where did you transfer its attack to?" March 7th asked.
"Here, over there at the Doomsday Beast," Takagi raised his finger and pointed at the Doomsday Beast, saying.
March 7th and the others looked up and happened to see a huge void suddenly appearing not far above the Doomsday Beast. Before the Doomsday Beast could react, the energy ball it had previously launched fell from it, directly hitting its body and causing it to fall rapidly forward.
"Hit, it was hit! Serves it right, who told it to attack my Star Destroyer," Asta waved her hand, her face flushed with excitement.
"You can even attack enemies like this!" March 7th exclaimed.
"To be able to use the power of space to this extent, truly worthy of being Lord Takagi," Cloud Retainer said.
Although the Doomsday Beast was struggling violently, it could only slightly shift the direction of its fall and had no way to completely escape the range of the energy ball. In just a few breaths, the Doomsday Beast, along with the energy ball, fell into the huge planet below it under everyone's gaze.
Rumble!
The energy ball plunged into the ground, and the huge planet, which was dozens of times larger than the energy ball launched by the Doomsday Beast, instantly exploded. The figure of the Doomsday Beast was also enveloped in endless dust.
"The planet... exploded!" La Signora's eyes widened, and she said in horror, looking at the scattered planet.
"Did the Doomsday Beast's attack cause the planet to shatter? Should I say it's worthy of being the Doomsday Beast, which has the power to explode a planet?" Dottore's eyes flickered with an emotion called madness, and he became even more interested in the Leviathan fragments and the War Furnace that created the Doomsday Beast.
"This Doomsday Beast, of all places it could fly, it actually took the energy ball directly into the planet. The mixed explosion of the energy ball and the planet will be enough for it to handle," Takagi shook his head and said.
According to the direction of the spatial door he opened, the Doomsday Beast shouldn't have fallen into the planet. Who knew the Doomsday Beast could still struggle so fiercely. What was coincidental and unfortunate was that it not only failed to struggle free from the falling energy ball but also happened to struggle into the area covered by the planet's gravity. Caught by the planet's gravity, coupled with the push from the energy ball, the Doomsday Beast naturally lost its chance to escape.
"There shouldn't be any life on that planet, right?" Nahida looked at Takagi worriedly.
"Don't worry, that's a dead star, there's no life on it. To be precise, this entire star system, except for the Blue Star, has no planets with life. If there were really life there, I think Lord Takagi would have stopped the Doomsday Beast before it fell into it," Himeko smiled.
Takagi could use the power of Aether Editing to teleport the condensed energy ball of the Doomsday Beast, Himeko naturally also believed that Takagi could transfer it before the Doomsday Beast fell into the planet. Moreover, Himeko didn't believe Takagi would harm innocent people. Hearing Himeko's words, Nahida couldn't help but let out a long breath.
(Dehya: That's too terrifying, a whole planet just exploded like that?)
(Yoimiya: Looking from this angle, it's like a huge firework exploded.)
(Yae Miko: If that Doomsday Beast's attack fell on Teyvat, Teyvat should also be able to produce such fireworks.)
(Yoimiya: Lady Yae Miko, such fireworks are not beautiful!)
(Ningguang: Such fireworks, probably every person of Teyvat doesn't want them to appear in Teyvat.)
(Yae Miko: I was just saying, I also don't want such fireworks to appear in Teyvat. However, one thing is for sure, the Doomsday Beast lives up to its name "Doomsday"; its attack can truly destroy a world.)
(Pantalone: Indeed! Although this time, due to Takagi's spatial transfer ability, the Doomsday Beast brought Doomsday upon itself.)
(Scaramouche: The fact that the Doomsday Beast can explode a star is certainly commendable, but if he can't withstand his own attack, he's too useless.)
(Rosaria: The Fatui are as arrogant as ever. Can you unleash an attack like that? Are you qualified to look down on the Doomsday Beast?)
(Scaramouche: What did you say?!)
(Yae Miko: What she said isn't wrong, is it? Your power is clearly far less than the Doomsday Beast's, you shouldn't look down on the Doomsday Beast. Moreover, if the Doomsday Beast was truly destroyed by that previous strike, it wouldn't mean it wasn't powerful. After all, he didn't just suffer the impact of the energy he released, but also the impact of a planet exploding.)
(Dvalin: Even without the impact of the planet's explosion, being destroyed by its own power alone doesn't prove the Doomsday Beast is weak. Even many powerful beings in Teyvat might not be able to withstand their own full-powered attacks.)
(Yae Miko: Yes, or are you saying, Balladeer, that you think you can withstand your own full-powered strike? If that's really the case, I'd have to wonder if your full-powered strike is incredibly weak.)
(Scaramouche: Damn guys, I'll remember you. Just wait and see, I'll show you my powerful side.)
(Yae Miko: Oh, I'm so scared, hehe.)
...
[Main cannon energy accumulation complete. Do you wish to fire?]
[Attention: This shot can easily shatter a planet. Please use with caution.]
On the Star Destroyer's control panel, a crimson prompt suddenly appeared, catching Asta's attention.
"Finally ready. But the Doomsday Beast is gone, where should I fire?" Asta scratched her head and looked at Takagi somewhat resentfully.
"You're not going to blame me, are you? If I hadn't transferred the Doomsday Beast's attack earlier, your expensive Star Destroyer would have been scrapped," Takagi said to Asta, crossing his arms.
"I know, but I'm a little disappointed that there's no target," Asta sighed deeply.
"You still like Star Destroyers so much, Asta," Himeko chuckled softly.
"After all, I haven't used the main cannon even once yet," Asta sighed.
"Who said there's no target? That Doomsday Beast hasn't been completely annihilated," Takagi said.
Asta: "Really?"
Takagi: "If you don't believe me, use the Star Destroyer's radar to scan the energy reaction ahead."
Hearing this, Asta was about to activate the Star Destroyer's radar. Suddenly, a huge burst of energy erupted from the center of the exploded planet. Asta, Nahida, Lisa, and others immediately noticed the anomaly. The crowd looked closely and saw that the Doomsday Beast had indeed charged out from the ruins of the explosion, dragging its broken body.
(Dvalin: Still alive after such an explosion? Its defense is too exaggerated, isn't it?)
(Lumine: So, the Doomsday Beast not only has the power to explode a star but can also withstand the power of a star exploding? That's too terrifying, is this the elite of the Antimatter Legion?)
(Kaeya: Suddenly, I feel the terrifying level of the Antimatter Legion has risen another step. Please don't let things like the Stellaron come to Teyvat. I really don't want the Stellaron to attract the Doomsday Beast.)
(Diluc: The Doomsday Beast not only withstood the planet's explosion but also the Stellaron explosion of the star! I really don't know what level of power it would take to destroy the Doomsday Beast. Also, Kaeya, you're too much of a jinx.)
(Yae Miko: This time, no one in Teyvat can underestimate the Doomsday Beast, right, Balladeer?)
(Scaramouche: ...)
(Morax: Such power and unbreakable defense... The Doomsday Beast is indeed the Doomsday for many worlds.)
(Venti: Unless we step onto the Path, it's impossible to fight the Doomsday Beast, right?)
(Ei: Step onto the Path...)
Although the Doomsday Beast's appearance was extremely battered, with many damaged areas on its body, and even its flight seemed somewhat wobbly and significantly slower, however, it didn't flee because of this; instead, it charged towards the Star Destroyer with even greater momentum.
"Even like this, it won't retreat? Does it want to destroy us this much?" Nahida frowned and said.
"The Voidrangers of the Antimatter Legion do not have normal emotions. They are left with only the primal urge for destruction of all things. The Doomsday Beast is naturally the same. Unless there is a command from an Emanator of Destruction or the Destruction Aeon, it will not retreat," Himeko said.
"It's good that it's not retreating, I've got my chance!" Asta narrowed her eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and then slammed her right hand onto the red button on the control panel.
Boom!
A dazzling beam of light shot out from the Star Destroyer's main cannon, instantly engulfing the Doomsday Beast's body. Everyone saw the dazzling beam of light pierce through space, heading towards the distant boundary and landing on another planet. Just like how the Doomsday Beast's energy ball caused the planet to shatter before, when the Star Destroyer's main cannon fire pushed the Doomsday Beast plunging into the planet, the planet burst open, once again enveloping the Doomsday Beast's figure in a giant "firework".
However, this time, the Doomsday Beast wasn't so lucky. Its body possessed a certain resistance to the energy it released itself, so it was able to survive the previous planet explosion. But this time, it didn't have resistance to the main cannon fired by the Star Destroyer. Its destruction was also a matter of course.
"Another planet exploded?" March 7th's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself. Beside her, seeing this seemingly familiar scene, Lisa and Cloud Retainer also stood rooted to the spot, speechless for a moment.
(Pantalone: Alright, since the Doomsday Beast can destroy a planet, it's normal for the Star Destroyer to be able to destroy a planet too.)
(Tartaglia: Normal my foot, when did something like destroying a planet become normal? If such an attack landed on Teyvat, would we even survive?)
(Arlecchino: Does that even need to be said? Of course, we'd explode along with the planet.)
(Tartaglia: You guys, you guys are really calm, I'm impressed!)
(Lumine: Impressed now? That's right, this is the power of the Star Destroyer, it's amazing.)
(Alice: That's right, it's amazing!)
(Paimon: Traveler, the Star Destroyer isn't yours, what are you so excited about?)
(Klee: Mommy is happy, so I'm happy too!)
(Dori: I suddenly have a bold idea.)
(Ningguang: Are you thinking of purchasing a luxury version of the Star Destroyer from Lord Takagi, so that we won't have to fear threats like the Doomsday Beast descending upon Teyvat?)
(Dori: That's right.)
(Pantalone: You can't afford it, no matter how you think about it, you can't afford it.)
(Diluc: Looking at the situation with Yarilo-VI, even if we sold all of Teyvat to Lord Takagi, it's hard to say if we could buy a luxury version of the Star Destroyer.)
(Dori: As expected, can I only obtain that luxury version of the Star Destroyer in my dreams?)
(Ningguang: If it were really possible to buy a Star Destroyer, I'd want to buy one too, this thing is much more useful than the Jade Chamber.)
(Beidou: I want to buy one too, with a Star Destroyer I could travel the Universe, right?)
(Ningguang: That's quite possible, even for someone who hasn't stepped onto a Path, possessing the firepower of this Star Destroyer should be enough to deter some people in the Universe, right?)
(Zhongli: In terms of universal rationality, that is indeed the case!)
"Asta, you didn't do that on purpose, did you?" After Takagi took a photo of Asta with her mouth wide open from excessive surprise, he asked with interest.
"H-how could that be? I was just aiming at the Doomsday Beast. I didn't notice at all that there was a planet behind the Doomsday Beast. Hmm? Lord Takagi, are you taking a photo? Wait, is this how I look? Quick, delete it!" Asta grabbed Takagi's hand, trying to snatch the phone. Unfortunately, Takagi just slightly raised his hand, and Asta could only hang from Takagi's arm, unable to touch the phone.
"Delete what? It's rare to see you make such an expression. It would be a shame not to keep it as a souvenir. You agree, right, March 7th," Takagi raised the hand holding the phone high and looked at March 7th as he spoke.
"Hmm? March 7th took a photo too?" Asta looked at March 7th, who was holding a camera.
"No, no, no, I was just filming you bombarding the Doomsday Beast. I didn't get a shot of how you looked earlier," March 7th waved her hand and quickly put her phone behind her back. She looked at Asta with a wry smile, not daring to let Asta see the photos in the camera. Although she didn't capture Asta's previous astonished look with her mouth wide open, she did capture Asta hanging from Takagi's arm with an anxious look on her face. Just as Takagi said, it was very rare for Asta to show a panicked expression. Furthermore, the photo included the presence of the mysterious Takagi. Therefore, March 7th did not want to delete the photos from the camera.
"Instead of the photos, shouldn't you be concerned about the planet you just bombarded? Although this star system has no life except for the Blue Star below Herta Space Station, but with two planets suddenly gone from the star system, the gravitational environment in the space where the Blue Star is located will naturally undergo corresponding changes. Asta, the life on the Blue Star shouldn't be affected by this, right?" Takagi asked.
"That doesn't really matter, the life on the Blue Star isn't fragile. As long as the sun over there doesn't explode, the life on the Blue Star will be fine. Let's talk about the photos instead, Lord Takagi. How much would it cost to buy the photos you took?" Asta continued, hanging from Takagi's arm.
"Sorry, Asta, I have to keep this photo of you," Takagi smiled and directly threw the phone into the imaginary space. Seeing this, Asta couldn't help but pout, showing a wronged expression.
"Takagi, this time, the Doomsday Beast has truly been completely destroyed, right?" At this moment, Nahida looked over curiously. As her words fell, Lisa and the others all looked over curiously. It was no wonder Lisa and the others were still doubtful, after all, not long ago, the Doomsday Beast had survived a planet explosion.
