Amid the wind and snow.
Continuing onward.
The scattered monsters gradually increased in number.
March 7th looked up toward the massive glacier ahead and exclaimed excitedly:
"We're here, we're here! Holy crap! Only when we get close do I realize how tall it really is—wait, its height seems to still be continuously rising!"
By now, the snowflakes had turned into a overwhelming blizzard.
If anyone stood still in place for just a few minutes, they'd immediately be buried under snow from head to toe.
Dan Heng gazed at the enormous shadow in the distance:
"The situation is worse than we imagined. Look—the ice layer has already gathered massive numbers of Fragmentum creatures nearby, and there are even Antimatter Legion forces wandering around. Deep within the solid ice, there are actually shadows of Doomsday Beasts—they're struggling to break free from their bindings."
"?"
A certain someone named Zeig lowered his phone (which had been held horizontally), suddenly looked up, and fixed his gaze ahead: "Doomsday Beasts?"
Dan Heng nodded and pointed in one direction.
"Yes, look over there—at the base of the ice layer. I deduce those were among the first batch to be frozen. I never expected them to still be alive even now."
Everyone followed Dan Heng's pointing finger and indeed saw several enormous black shadows wriggling at the bottom of the ice layer. Jarilo-VI's Stellaron was actively undoing their seals.
March 7th said in a panic:
"My heavens, I didn't expect there to still be Doomsday Beasts here! Just how tough must early Belobog have had it?"
Dan Heng shook his head:
"Modern Belobog has been tough too. If the wind and snow had been allowed to rage unchecked like before, Belobog's destruction would have been set in stone. Fortunately, the Astral Express arrived in time."
Bronya and Gepard also stared at this vast glacier together. Thinking back on the previous situation, the chill in their hearts felt even colder than the snow accumulating on their bodies.
After observing for a while, March 7th suddenly slapped Zeig on the shoulder:
"Buddy, why is your phone held horizontally?"
"Just give me 1 more minute."
"What are you doing? You've been staring at your phone screen for almost half an hour now."
"I'm clearing the 1.2 main story—just give me 1 more minute and I'll be done."
"Really? Wait… half an hour to finish? That's way too short, right? 1.2 only updated this much?"
Dan Heng gazed at the vast white sky and couldn't help saying:
"Zeig, for snow and ice like this, to dispel them, I'm afraid we'll still need your flames."
"Yeah, stop playing around! Isn't the mission basically over now? Hurry up and open the door to call people in!"
A certain someone named Zeig pursed his lips, reluctantly claimed the Stellar Jade reward for completing the task, then looked up at the monsters charging toward them.
His gaze sharpened, and he lightly snapped his fingers.
Snap—
In an instant, a white light curtain suddenly appeared behind everyone and continuously expanded.
"Kill—!!"
"For Belobog's glory!!"
"Charge—!!"
Large numbers of fully armed Silvermane Guards rushed out from the light curtain wielding weapons and immediately clashed with the oncoming monsters.
Countless Automatons stomped through the snow in a grand march toward the monsters.
Suddenly, a black-purple beam flashed past.
A massive figure appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Blotting out the sky.
The giant mecha known as Heavenly Father, brimming with energy, charged ahead under the control of Zeig and March 7th. With heavy stomping footsteps, it barreled straight toward the enormous black shadow within the ice layer.
Its wide mechanical feet crushed countless Fragmentum creatures without a single glance, focused solely on rushing toward its target.
Dan Heng was locked in battle with a group of Antimatter Legion forces. Seeing Zeig and March 7th operating Heavenly Father, he found it a bit strange.
"Why isn't Zeig taking action himself?"
…
"Why aren't you going up there yourself?!"
Inside Heavenly Father.
In front of the vast control console, there were now two chairs.
A certain someone named Zeig was in charge of controlling Heavenly Father's attacks, while March 7th handled movement.
Hearing March 7th ask this, a certain someone named Zeig grinned ferociously:
"I have a feeling that one's coming today—let me pose around a bit longer!"
"Pose around for what? What's coming?"
"Don't ask—just go ham! Don't forget we're from the rush village! Show them our momentum!"
Above the snowfield battlefield, everyone only heard a loud "BOOM—" as Heavenly Father's towering giant arm smashed a punch straight into the glacier.
This strike caused the entire world to tremble.
Immediately following was the sound of ice cracking and splintering.
Countless fractures spread like writhing snakes. When they reached their limit, another earth-shattering explosion rang out!
"BOOM—!!"
The enormous shadow burst through the ice layer and leaped out violently. When it landed, the ground shook and mountains trembled, kicking up massive clouds of snow!
"ROAR—!!"
The giant creature, finally freed, shook off the shattered ice from its body and roared continuously, as if venting centuries of accumulated resentment from being frozen.
Under the control of the two reckless fools, Heavenly Father didn't even wait for the Doomsday Beast to finish roaring—it smashed a fist straight toward the monster's head.
BOOM—!!
In that moment.
The Doomsday Beast actually staggered and was directly knocked over onto the ground.
"…"
It was dazed by that punch.
Freshly released from the ice seal, it was still extremely weakened, and it never in a million years expected this black-purple punk in front of it to be so dishonorable.
It hurriedly stood up, adjusted its posture, and engaged in battle with the reckless fool before it.
Blue-white beams and wide black-purple rays intertwined and clashed endlessly, bathing the entire battlefield in a strange glow.
Bronya stood on the shoulder of an Automaton, gazing at the two giant shadows trading free blows, feeling a surge of worry in her heart.
Soon, she made up her mind. Raising her crimson lance high, her gaze sharpened.
"RUMBLE—!!"
Instantly, the white light curtain that had been continuously transmitting combat personnel let out a violent tremor.
A massive yellowish-brown head poked out, its scarlet eyes constantly scanning the battlefield.
Then, with both palms braced against the upper and lower edges of the light curtain, it forcibly widened the curtain enough for its own body to pass through.
Inside Heavenly Father, Zeig's vision suddenly went dark—his mental energy was being heavily occupied by the Cosmic Juggernaut.
March 7th saw Zeig suddenly let go of the controls and immediately asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?!"
Zeig rubbed his forehead, came back to his senses, and waved it off: "It's nothing."
He looked toward the front of the screen. The Doomsday Beast had spread its entire body wide and was beginning to accumulate energy again. Zeig immediately controlled Heavenly Father to slap it across the face.
"BOOM—!!"
This slap sent the Doomsday Beast staggering again. Its massive body retreated several steps in fury as it glared at the mecha before it and roared continuously.
"ROAR—!!"
It seemed to be cursing something.
Just as it raised its claws, preparing to teach this punk a lesson, it suddenly took another heavy hit from behind.
"BOOM—!!"
The Doomsday Beast's enormous body was smashed flat to the ground by a fierce punch.
Another colossal figure that looked incredibly badass had appeared behind the Doomsday Beast, still in the posture of bending over to deliver the smashing punch.
Bronya stood atop the giant's head, gripping her flaming lance, and shouted: "I'll help you with the Creation Engine!"
The massive body known as the Creation Engine towered between heaven and earth.
This scene warmed the hearts of countless Silvermane Guards. Some veteran soldiers still knew that Belobog possessed this ancient mecha.
Although many people had never had the chance to see it in their lifetime and could only hear rumors, at this moment, it proved to everyone Belobog's former glory!
"ROAR—!!" The Doomsday Beast braced both claws against the ground, trying to flip itself upright.
But another enormous black-purple foot stomped its head straight into the snow and brutally stomped down repeatedly.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!
After dozens of stomps, half of the Doomsday Beast's body had already been smashed into the snow.
It angrily spread its giant wings and flapped them furiously. A biting storm swept up, carrying several small beams fired from its wings that continuously bombarded the Creation Engine and Heavenly Father's bodies.
The Creation Engine could only cross its arms to block, while Heavenly Father generated a black-purple transparent barrier for defense.
Once it stood up again, the three giant shadows resumed their fierce battle.
Seele, in the midst of slaying monsters, looked up at the chaotic fight among the three giants.
She took it all in.
She couldn't help sighing:
"Sneak attacks, interruptions, gang beating—that guy really is unlucky."
"ROAR—!!" The Doomsday Beast threw its head back and howled at the sky.
…
