Chapter 78 - Dan Heng: I Can Do That Too! (Reupdate)

"Because of 400 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story

A tall, flaming humanoid monster floated in the air and charged.

The group named it "Big Flame Group," or simply "Big Flame."

Whoosh—!

Big Flame flung a mass of fire, which streaked through the air like a meteor, heading towards Gu Tang.

But Svarog had already moved in front of Gu Tang in an instant, raising his arm to block the attack.

Boom—

The fire burst on Svarog, turning into countless sparks.

Such a level of fire couldn't shake Svarog's steel body.

"Step away from Gu Tang." He immediately began counterattacking.

A laser cannon from his palm blasted Big Flame into pieces.

"...I can do that too!" Dan Heng shouted indignantly.

"No, you can't," March 7th calmly said beside him.

Just then, a large icy creature approached, its arm swinging and launching countless sharp ice spikes like a storm.

Dan Heng immediately moved in front of Gu Tang.

March 7th: "You can't do it, Dan Heng. You're not made of iron; you can't take attacks head-on like Svarog."

Dan Heng lifted March 7th and held her in front.

March 7th: "?"

The ice spikes were blocked by March 7th's automatically generated ice shield.

Then, Dan Heng flung Stelle forward forcefully.

Stelle: "?"

"Step away from Gu Tang." Dan Heng shouted.

Stelle flew straight out like a spear, her head smashing into the large icy creature.

Thud!

The icy creature vanished.

Stelle fell to the ground with a plop.

"How's that?" Dan Heng spread his arms, turning and looking at Svarog.

Svarog looked at March 7th and Stelle on the ground. "Confirmed expenditure: two teammates. Evaluation: extremely inefficient."

"You..." Dan Heng gritted his teeth at Svarog.

Gu Tang used extraction on Stelle and March 7th who were lying on the ground.

The group continued forward, arriving at a narrow valley.

"Look, there's something ahead," March 7th pointed.

Seele raised an eyebrow. "Is that... a relic left by the city builders?"

It was a massive mechanical structure, covered

with a thick layer of ice, and it looked like it had been abandoned here for hundreds of years.

　　"Don't you think the shape looks a bit like a palm?" said Gu Tang.

　　Dan Heng walked forward and knocked twice: "Hmm... It's all made of steel, and the style is completely different from those rigid buildings in the city. Is this really a relic?"

　　He lowered his head and thought.

　　Svarog looked at Danheng, "Stand back, Miscellaneous 16855. Do not touch anything in this heavily eroded area."

　　"Am I not even an organic life form?" Dan Heng glared at Svarog angrily.

　　"It seems that it is unlikely to expect these two people to cooperate." Xing sighed.

　　"...Well, I feel a little hungry." Gu Tang touched his belly.

　　Seele patted his shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back. Now try harder."

　　"I really want to eat hot instant noodles." Gu Tang licked his lips.

　　March 7th nodded in understanding: "I understand. Instant noodles are especially delicious when it's cold."

　　Pass through the mechanical building and continue walking in the valley.

　　The slope under their feet became higher and higher, and everyone was constantly moving towards higher altitudes.

　　Various ice sculptures appeared on both sides of the valley.

　　Looking closely, it was a frozen army of antimatter.

　　"What the hell is this thing... Oh, it's so scary!" March 7th took a closer look and was frightened by its ferocious shape. He quickly hid behind Gu Tang.

　　"Didn't you do pretty well when you fought the antimatter army in the space station before?" Gu Tang looked at March 7th with some confusion.

　　"Humph, humans can easily slap cockroaches to death, but they are still afraid of cockroaches." March 7 said righteously.

Seele pouted, "March 7th, learn from Stelle. See how brave she is."

Stelle blinked, then saw the very cute March 7th hiding behind Gu Tang.

"Oh no, how scary," Stelle said in a flat tone, linking arms with Gu Tang and pretending to be timid.

"You're such a girl, Stelle," Seele remarked sarcastically.

"Actually, I'm really scared..." Stelle exhaled, "If Cocolia really gets convinced by Bronya, we won't even have a fight."

Gu Tang patted Stelle's head to comfort her, "Don't worry, Stelle. I believe Cocolia definitely wants to get rid of us."

Feeling the warmth of Gu Tang's palm, Stelle smiled, "Yeah, I trust you. When the time comes, we'll beat her up together."

Seele tilted her head, "Without the dialogue... the scene actually looks very sweet. Just like those shojo manga I used to read."

March 7th sighed, "You can't ignore the dialogue."

"It's like insects trapped in amber..." Dan Heng looked at the anti-matter legion frozen in ice and sighed, "When they invaded this world, they never expected to be swallowed by the cold."

Svarog scanned the ice sculptures, "New object detected, confirmed as miscellaneous item number 16855."

Then he looked at Dan Heng, "Step back, miscellaneous item number 16856, I need to collect new data."

"You did that on purpose!" Dan Heng felt his blood boil, veins bulging on his forehead.

Even in the freezing cold, he felt like his whole body was burning up.

On a giant mechanical device, a continuously overflowing object was sealed.

Without a doubt, this was the source of the endless cold on this planet—the Stellaron.

Cocolia and Bronya were standing in front of the device.

"No... don't..." Bronya clutched her head in pain.

The power of the Stellaron was affecting her mind, constantly tempting her.

Chaotic and twisted voices echoed in her mind.

"Don't resist, Bronya—accept the collective will!" Cocolia opened her arms towards Bronya.

"No... this isn't what I want..." Bronya shook her head.

Everything before her eyes changed.

Night seemed to fall suddenly, and the sky turned pitch black in an instant.

Around her, Belobog was collapsing, countless residents falling in the destruction, losing their lives.

Her friends... Gepard, Serval, Pela... they all lay in pools of blood.

"No, this isn't reality..." Bronya gritted her teeth.

She knew it was the power of the Stellaron trapping her in an illusion.

Before her, Cocolia's figure became more distorted, ice covering her body, reminding Bronya of those Fragmentum monsters.

"Look at the future they promised, Bronya! A world without poverty, cold, or pain!" Cocolia shouted to Bronya.

"Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp——" Gu Tang was noisily slurping noodles on the side.
