Chapter 18

A group of people were whispering behind them; it was clear that this was not a small issue for them.

Su Chen listened from behind and couldn't help but let out a cold "Heh" laugh twice.

Boring?

Not interesting?

Rest assured, you won't think that way in a moment!

He thought to himself, but remained indifferent. He didn't know about the rest, but one thing was certain: the high-energy moment was coming soon.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, a huge sound suddenly came from the screen.

"What sound is that?"

"Holy crap! What is that?"

"Wait, that couldn't be..."

Soon, someone realized some issues.

Indeed, most of the things they had encountered before seemed to be mobs of the Antimatter Legion, and high-tier monsters didn't seem to have any intention of appearing.

But now, everything was a bit different!

As a brilliant light flashed on the screen, a figure never seen before suddenly appeared, and the momentum was shockingly greater than before.

"Doomsday Beast!"

"It really is the Doomsday Beast!"

In-game

【A blinding red alert signal lit up, filled with the sound of alarms.】

【The surrounding screens were all replaced by dazzling red, a shocking sight to behold.】

【Asta and the members of the Express crew looked at the alert signals all around, all feeling worried. Not long after, Asta gritted her teeth and said to them: "You take the Express and go, I'll stay behind."】

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, and then they reacted, their gazes toward Asta changing.

"Station Master, that's the Doomsday Beast!"

"Yeah, Station Master, how can you confront an existence like the Doomsday Beast alone!"

The researchers exclaimed.

No one could have imagined that Asta actually intended to face a monster of the Doomsday Beast's level all by herself.

Although compared to a Lord Ravager, the Doomsday Beast was indeed not worth mentioning, the Doomsday Beast's strength was not to be underestimated.

Just thinking about it made people worry endlessly.

But Asta just smiled and said: "It's nothing, I definitely cannot abandon everyone at the space station and leave by myself."

Alright, the researchers thought to themselves, Asta herself was indeed not that kind of person.

It's just...

"This game actually made the Doomsday Beast's sense of oppression so strong, it's truly unexpected!"

"And when this Doomsday Beast extended its claws, it was like it was grabbing at my heart; it almost made me unable to breathe."

"Hiss! I take back what I said earlier!"

Many researchers couldn't help but take back what they had wanted to say after seeing such a scene. That's right, the Doomsday Beast in this scene was made too realistically.

And not only that, this sense of oppression was indeed shocking.

Just looking at the scene where the Doomsday Beast appeared, many people recalled their own experiences of encountering a Doomsday Beast.

"I've encountered a Doomsday Beast before, and I must admit, this game has completely captured this sense of oppression!"

"That's right, the Doomsday Beast is exactly that kind of existence."

Many people sighed to those around them.

In-game!

【The protagonist looked up, watching the terrifying might of the Doomsday Beast not far away, while Himeko looked at him.】

【Himeko said, "Let's go!"】

【After speaking, Himeko reached out and pulled the protagonist and the others away. March 7th was caught off guard, not expecting Himeko to drag them away directly.】

【Then, the screen went black, and Asta's voice sounded, though it was intermittent.】

【"The protective shield in the support zone can't hold on for much longer, you guys hurry..."】

【"Leave this place to me..."】

【Asta's voice made everyone feel very uneasy, because soon, the communication was completely cut off.】

【"The communication is cut!" Himeko said in a deep voice.】

【"Should we go back? A word of warning, that is a Doomsday Beast, the Legion's anti-star body weapon." Following Dan Heng's voice was also very heavy.】

"Of course we have to go back! That's a Doomsday Beast, how can Station Master Asta win against it alone?"

"But that's a Doomsday Beast, even if the Express crew is heaven-defying, they aren't that powerful, right?"

"But we can't just let the Station Master face the Doomsday Beast alone!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it!" Suddenly, a voice appeared from the side.

The researchers turned their heads to look; it was Su Chen.

"The protagonist is someone who breaks common sense!" Su Chen pointed out with a smile.

"But... the protagonist can't ignore the rules either..."

"Of course they can!"

Su Chen chuckled and pointed at the protagonist in the frame: "Because rules are meant to be broken!"

When the researchers heard this, they were suddenly struck by how cool it was, and then remembered that this seemed to be the protagonist's line in the game.

"Oh yeah, we are the protagonist!"

Su Chen nodded with a smile, "That's right, we are the protagonist!"

【Ding! Detected intense emotional fluctuations from the audience, points doubled!】

【The plot began to play again, but not long after, Himeko's voice continued: "The space station was built by Herta; as long as the Lord Ravager doesn't make a move, there won't be any major trouble here."】

【March 7th appeared very hesitant: "But... but we can't just run away like this!"】

【Following Dan Heng also nodded, saying in a deep voice: "The Doomsday Beast tearing through the protective shield is as easy as pie. With Herta not here, the defense system here is too fragile for the Antimatter Legion."】

【"The Legion possesses the blessing of the Aeon Nanook; they came prepared, and the people here won't be able to hold them off."】

【Himeko nodded, "That's why we must leave, and we must take her with us."】

【Following Dan Heng was stunned for a moment, "Is that so... is he... very critical?"】

【Himeko said: "She is the one to break the deadlock. Of course... it's also possible I'm mistaken."】

【Following Dan Heng then revealed a thoughtful expression, "If so... alright, what should we do next?"】

【Himeko continued: "This is the support zone where the maintenance workers work; it leads to the nearest platform. We'll go there and rendezvous with Welt."】

【March 7th asked in surprise: "Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang came too? Didn't he stay on the train?"】

【Following Dan Heng crossed his arms, "The Astral Express's log records our tracks in real-time. With such a big commotion at the space station, Mr. Welt couldn't possibly have missed it."】

【Himeko assured them that Welt was on his way, and said that the Doomsday Beast wasn't too hard to deal with, but if an Emanator of Destruction came, that would be troublesome.】

"Wait, an Emanator of Destruction is coming too?"

"With such a big commotion, our space station really has some prestige!" ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
