Chapter 21 - Defeating the Doomsday Beast

Chapter 21: Defeating the Doomsday Beast

Inside the Black Tower’s Office

Within the Black Tower’s office, a Black Tower automaton was engaged in a remote communication.

In front of her was a holographic projection of a

mechanical noble

—Screwllum.

Black Tower seemed a bit impatient.

“Alright, that’s all I have to say. Find some time to come over. We need a face-to-face discussion regarding the new [Simulated Universe] project.”

“Also, that little hacker girl you fought before is here too.”

“We haven’t settled the score for her stealing the Stellar Core last time. This time, she needs to be taught a lesson.”

However, Screwllum asked, “Black Tower, how can you be certain that

Silver Wolf

is inside your space station?”

After all, he had been long-time rivals with Silver Wolf and was very familiar with the hacker girl’s methods.

Normally,

if you’ve detected traces of Silver Wolf, it means she has already achieved her goal.

“Isn’t that simple? I had a guy from the Cyber Security Department track her movements, but he got completely played.”

“Do you think Silver Wolf would miss the opportunity to infiltrate the space station and retrieve the artifact she wants?”

Screwllum tapped his metallic forehead lightly and remarked,

“A conclusion drawn from the emotional tendencies of organic beings? Understood. I’ll be there on time.”

After Ending the Call

Black Tower sent a message to the space station, informing them of Screwllum’s impending arrival. Then, she returned to her tasks, completely uninterested in how the station would handle the information.

As a result, she remained oblivious to the fact that today,

the entire space station had abandoned their duties to immerse themselves in a game—

Honkai: Star Rail!

Inside the Space Station

Several key personnel, including

Asta

, received Black Tower’s message.

Normally, they would be in a state of nervous anticipation, making all necessary preparations.

But today, everyone ignored the message.

Some were watching

Gui Zi’s

live-streamed gameplay.

Others were watching

Asta’s gacha pulls

.

And many had already started playing

Honkai: Star Rail

themselves.

They were

completely absorbed

, unable to pull themselves away.

After all,

even the station master was busy rolling for characters

—who had time to care about some incoming message?

[Battle Ends]

Inside Gui Zi’s Live-Stream

Just as everyone believed that the

Doomsday Beast

had been defeated, an unexpected turn of events occurred!

A sudden burst of intense light erupted from the creature’s head.

Like a ticking time bomb, it jolted upright.

A devastating beam of energy shot forth!

The unlucky target?

A completely

exhausted March 7th

, standing directly below!

“March!”

Her companion cried out in alarm.

But it was

too late

.

March 7th’s eyes widened in shock—her body frozen.

She could only raise her hands instinctively in defense.

At that moment—

A

silhouette

suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was none other than…

The protagonist—The Trailblazer!

Live Chat Explosion

’

“Holy crap, the protagonist is TOO brave!”

’

“Is this… love?”

’

“This guy is way too badass!”

’

“If I were March, I’d marry him on the spot!”

The

Doomsday Beast’s destruction beam struck the Trailblazer head-on.

With arms wide open, the protagonist absorbed the full force of the energy.

Of course, being the

main character

, Trailblazer wasn’t about to die that easily.

Although the viewers were a bit worried, deep down, they knew…

He should be fine.

And sure enough—

In the very next moment—

The Trailblazer appeared in a strange, otherworldly space.

Above him—

A colossal

rift

tore through the “sky,” spilling molten gold like flowing magma.

He was falling—plummeting into what seemed like an endless abyss.

A

disembodied voice whispered softly:

“It’s time to set out.”

If blocking the ultimate attack was an

emotional, adrenaline-pumping

moment—

Then

this scene

was one that sent chills down everyone’s spine.

A Sudden Shift

Wasn’t this supposed to be a boss fight?

Why did the entire setting just change?!

Beyond the crowd,

Silver Wolf

stood

caught in a dilemma

.

On one hand—

A major plot twist

had just unfolded. The avatar she had practically printed into the game—**The Trailblazer—**was undergoing some kind of

transformation

at the most critical moment!

On the other hand—

A brand-new

5-star character

was about to be revealed.

And it might even be Kafka… or herself!

After just

two seconds

of thought—

Silver Wolf

immediately activated her Ether coding

, constructing an

anti-gravity device

.

Then, she

launched herself toward the live-stream screen

!

Gacha characters could wait

—after all, she already downloaded the game. Sooner or later, she’d get the character herself.

But the

story’s impact was different!

This Developer is No Ordinary Person!

Someone had

faithfully recreated

the Trailblazer’s

abilities

and

ultimate move

with astonishing precision.

They even understood

all the intricate details of the Doomsday Beast’s capabilities

.

All the signs pointed to one thing—

This game developer… might be someone significant!

Perhaps, there were hidden secrets embedded within this game.

As a

Stellaron Hunter

, Silver Wolf’s instincts told her—

She had to uncover these secrets immediately!

Without hesitation—

She ascended into the air

, hovering above the crowd to secure the

best possible viewing angle

.

Since everyone else was also completely

glued to the screen

, they had instinctively

gathered tightly together

, nearly

blocking the entire display

.

From her position,

she could only see a sea of heads

.

Final Revelation

At that moment—

The camera slowly zoomed out.

That

fractured golden rift

was

not

a tear in the sky—

It was a

scar on someone’s chest!

More precisely—

It

wasn’t just a person…

It was a

GOD!

The

Star God

of

Destruction—Nanook!
