Adelphine.
The birthplace of the Destructive Star God.
However, this place has already been completely destroyed.
If it weren’t for the coordinates, none of them would have been able to find this place, because everything here has been utterly annihilated. A massive star black hole quietly suspended in the universe, surrounded by emptiness, and in the distance lay a large expanse of broken stones. The entire galaxy looked like a dark seabed—gloomy, cold, and devoid of any sign of life.
But for Duanmu Huai, he didn’t co here to admire the scenery.
"Soul Resonance!"
An invisible spiritual power swept out centered on Duanmu Huai, gradually passing over the entire galaxy. Before long, Duanmu Huai discovered what he was searching for.
Then, the next steps were much simpler.
"Alicia, Lumiaire, Mugeng, co with ."
Duanmu Huai quickly chose this mission’s team mbers and gestured to Ann.
"I’ll leave this side to you."
"Hey... Mr. Knight, I actually want to go too."
Ann was sowhat displeased, and Ogis pouted unhappily beside her.
"This ti it’s mainly to familiarize the newcors with the situation, and since I brought Lumiaire, you should understand what I an."
"Ah, so there’s nothing for to do, right? Fine then."
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s explanation, Ann quickly nodded. She understood what Duanmu Huai ant, as in the Tribunal, Ann specialized in Magic, while Lumiaire specialized in Technology. So if Duanmu Huai went to the Magic World, he usually brought Ann, and if it was the Technological World, he usually brought Lumiaire.
Since this ti Duanmu Huai chose Lumiaire, it ant they were heading to a Technological World... Well, it’s sowhat regrettable, but for Ann, as long as it’s not a Magic World, there aren’t too many issues.
"Alright, let’s go."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand, then turned and left the bridge. The chosen girls exchanged puzzled glances but followed him.
"Sir Great Judge, where are we going?"
Alicia bounced along behind Duanmu Huai, curiously asking.
"To war."
"War? Here? There’s nothing here."
"Right now there is nothing..."
"???"
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s ambiguous comnt, the group exchanged bewildered looks but didn’t say much. Soon, under Duanmu Huai’s guidance, they arrived at the hangar and boarded the Night Raven Black Star. Then, Duanmu Huai piloted the spacecraft out of the battleship, directly heading towards the massive black hole.
"Oooh..."
Staring at the black hole, everyone’s expressions were a bit tense. After all, Alicia’s civilization is considered relatively near-future advanced civilization, with so knowledge of cosmic bodies. A black hole, although only seen in textbooks and on TV, is known to be a very dangerous presence. And now Duanmu Huai was driving a spacecraft straight towards it... What exactly is he planning?
Alicia sat in her chair, curiously surveying her surroundings, while across from her, Lumiaire had her eyes closed to rest — having followed Duanmu Huai to many places, she naturally knew where he intended to go. Only Mugeng was currently glaring at Alicia with an unhappy expression.
For a mont, the atmosphere in the cabin was strangely quiet.
But Duanmu Huai didn’t care about these minor matters. He quickly used Soul Resonance to lock onto the entrance to the Soul World, then suddenly accelerated— in the next instant, the Night Raven Black Star increased speed, rushing straight into the center of the black hole.
Soon, everything around them changed instantly.
The previously pitch-black, lifeless star sky now beca incomparably bright. The group widened their eyes in surprise, looking out. In front of them, not far away, was a star burning fiercely.
But the light didn’t end there.
"—————!"
A burst of fire exploded, and the girls saw a battleship splitting open in the middle, shattering into large chunks.
"Eh? Wait, what’s happening? Where are we now?"
At this mont, Alicia was a bit confused, her eyes widening in surprise at the view outside. Alicia was certain that the previous galaxy felt like a lifeless graveyard. But now, here it was incredibly bustling, as if they were amidst a noisy battlefield.
No, not as if—this is a battlefield.
Alicia could see the battleships next to her launching light beams to attack, the teor shower-like beams crossing the battlefield, causing explosions in the enemy forces. And through the explosion flashes, Alicia clearly saw the enemy on the opposite side.
It was a large swarm of winged insects.
They resembled beetles, yet appeared like armored bugs, their fat bodies vibrating wings, roaring towards the battleships. anwhile, this side launched more spacecraft to block the insect invasion.
"This is the Universal Locust Plague."
Compared to other fusion warriors who were stunned speechless, Duanmu Huai appeared quite composed.
"I thought there’d be so capability, but it seems not as good as the Tyron Swarm."
While speaking, Duanmu Huai shifted the control stick, and the Night Raven Black Star dodged the incoming swarm, flying forward again.
Though, in Duanmu Huai’s view, the Universal Locust Plague is rely a child’s toy compared to the Tyron Swarms, for the Outer Star System, it’s an unimaginable terrifying disaster. The Breeding Star God—Insect Emperor Taiz Yuluo led endless insect swarms devouring the universe, engulfing all visible entities. Nearly two-thirds of viable regions were affected, countless galaxies perishing as a result.
Moreover, the fate of breeding isn’t rely the insect swarm assault; it’s even a kind of " pollution." According to records, where the Breeding Star God went, all born beings, regardless of their original form, would turn into insects. Even disregarding organic life, even chanical creations, as long as they fit the breeding concept, would be polluted and twisted.
Hmm, in a way, that’s even more troubleso than the Tyron Swarms.
To stop the breeding, nine Star Gods waged the War of the Gods. In this war, Order and Gluttony perished, Resonance, Destruction, and mory ascended; the concept of breeding was extracted and balanced by Protection, Pioneering, Pleasure, and Resonance, causing its complete downfall. This war engraved a magnificent and grand Chapter in the Outer Star System’s history; similarly, the disasters it caused led to the natural existence of the Soul World.
Just like now.
"Lumiaire, connect to the communications circuit..."
However, before Duanmu Huai’s orders were fully delivered, the battle in front of him changed dramatically. Suddenly, the steel battleships exploded, and the already shaky defense line completely collapsed under the assault of the insect swarm. People could clearly see the battleships beside them being crashed into, infiltrated by countless insects, and then exploding.
"Boom—————!!"
The violent explosion caused the Night Raven Black Star to tremble. The girls widened their eyes, watching the battleships explode and shatter, as countless fragnts ca sweeping towards them like a storm—fortunately, Duanmu Huai simply waved his hand, sweeping the fragnts aside and forcefully creating a path from the chain-reaction explosions of the battleship wreckage.
Then they accelerated again, attempting to pass through the sea of fire.
However, just as the fighter was about to pass through the wreckage of the battleship, another explosion flashed, and a black shadow ca rolling towards them, hitting the side of the Night Raven Black Star heavily.
"So troubleso."
Duanmu Huai frowned, then raised his hand again. But before he could sweep away the debris, Alicia rushed up to grab his hand.
"Wait, Sir Judge, that’s a person!"
"A person?"
Duanmu Huai grabbed the control stick with one hand and glanced over, realizing it was indeed a person, at least it had arms and legs...
"Still alive? Lumiere?"
"Currently, there is still a life signal, but it is weak."
"Alright, bring this guy back."
Duanmu Huai silently sighed.
"At the very least, we need to figure out what’s going on here."
Soon, the unlucky person hanging outside was quickly collected back into the cabin. At this mont, everyone saw its appearance clearly. The person was wearing armor that looked very sci-fi, similar to the Space Armor of the Star Union in the Mass Effect World.
"You guys take care of that person; I’ll deal with these annoying bugs."
Duanmu Huai casually ordered, then looked forward again. At this mont, those insects were still flying densely towards them. Perhaps to the insects, a fighter like Night Raven Black Star was not worth paying attention to. In the face of the endless insect sea, a small fighter couldn’t even impede their actions.
But unfortunately for them, they were not facing re mortals.
"Get lost!"
Duanmu Huai clenched his fist, roared angrily, and swung it forward!
—————————!
The surging explosive waves of destruction erupted from the Night Raven Black Star, spreading in all directions. Anything touched by these waves, whether wreckage from battleships or insects, quickly dissolved and vanished. Complete destruction, utter annihilation—even the Breeding Star God’s power could not resist this curse of extinction.
In a mont, the storm surge-like insect tide completely disappeared, and only then did Duanmu Huai stretch and stand up.
"Alright, how’s the situation on your side?"
"Ah, Sir Judge."
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Alicia poked her head out and waved at Duanmu Huai.
"This girl is fine, seems to be just unconscious. She just needs so rest."
"Girl?"
Curiously, Duanmu Huai leaned over for a closer look, only to find that where there used to be what looked like a Cosmic Knight like Debo Wei, now there was no armor. Instead, lying there was a girl, with silver hair tied into a ponytail with a red headband resting on her shoulder. She wore red-frad glasses and a garnt resembling tight-fitting driving attire...
"What happened to the armor?"
"Strangely enough, Miss Lumiere earlier invaded the control system, and when she disengaged the armor, it turned into a beam of light and disappeared—really quite miraculous."
Hmm, indeed, to Alicia and her kind, it was quite miraculous.
But it can be confird that, with such sci-fi traits, she is definitely not a Magic Girl.
"Uh......uh......"
After a mont, the girl slowly awoke. When she opened her eyes and saw Alicia and the others before her, she was taken aback.
"Where am I...who are you......"
"We’re just passing by."
Whether the other believed him or not, Duanmu Huai didn’t care and outrightly lied.
"Who are you?"
"I......"
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, the silver-haired girl frowned, carefully recalling for a mont.
"I am......Grar Iron Cavalry......AR36988......"
"? Then what is your na?"
At this mont, Alicia was also curiously staring at the silver-haired girl, asking.
"I don’t have a na."
The girl shook her head.
"I am Grar Iron Cavalry. I am a weapon. I am the Sharp Blade against the insect swarm, that’s it."
"Such a cute girl needs a na."
Hearing the girl’s response, Alicia shook her head, then her eyes sparkled.
"How about I give you a cute and beautiful na!"
