Herta Space Station.

All the station staff were trembling with fear, terrified that the Destruction Legion would attack the Space Station again.

"Oh my god, I almost lost my life here last time. I don't want to go through a disaster like that ever again!"

"When that damned Destruction Legion attacked last time, half a lifetime's worth of my research was almost wiped out. How am I supposed to survive if it happens again?!"

"We have to find Station Master Asta quickly and report the situation to her!"

"Right! Exactly! We have to find Station Master Asta right away!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted this, and everyone instantly felt as if they had found their pillar of support, heading towards Asta's room... Meanwhile, on Hiroshi's side.

That Star-Shattering King Insect, the enforcer of propagation, had already been split in two by Hiroshi, dissipating into specks of azure starlight.

"Hmm, a peculiar weapon and perfect adaptability. No wonder he remained calm from start to finish; his strength is indeed impressive."

Dr. Ratio offered his sincere praise. It was precisely because Hiroshi never showed a hint of panic during the battle with the bug king that he had chosen not to intervene, instead standing aside and quietly observing as a spectator.

"The crisis has been resolved; it seems there's no need to stay here any longer."

"I didn't expect... that Ruan Mei actually cultivated an enforcer of propagation of The Propagation."

After leaving these words, he abandoned Stelle and left on his own.

Stelle instinctively wanted to call out to him, but she glanced at Hiroshi inside the room. After a moment's hesitation, she went down to find him.

After resolving everything, Hiroshi retracted his equipment. His expression was full of joy and excitement, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

He hadn't expected the Heavy Strike Annihilation of the blade of the god of war to be so powerful.

This was just a casual strike. If he completely exhausted his physical strength, he should be able to deliver a blow equal to that of a top-tier Envoy, right?

Just as he was immersed in the joy of obtaining great power, the giant circular platform beneath his feet began to crack inch by inch.

Violent tremors followed as piece after piece of the crumbling platform fell into the bottomless abyss below.

Seeing this, Hiroshi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Holy crap, no way!

It was fine no matter how much that Star-Shattering King Insect thrashed around, yet it was shattered by that one strike from the blade of the god of war?!

He hadn't expected... the power of Heavy Strike Annihilation to be far greater than he had imagined... He sprinted toward the opposite side with all his might. Even though he was running at his top speed, he still couldn't outpace the speed at which the platform was collapsing and descending.

Tsk! This won't work; I won't make it! Should I use my teleportation ability? But if someone sees... "Grab my hand!"

While he was hesitating, a clear and pleasant shout reached his ears. He looked up and saw Stelle standing on the opposite side, reaching out her hand to pull him up.

Great, you're a lifesaver, Stelle!

Hiroshi's expression instantly relaxed, and his gaze toward Stelle was filled with gratitude.

At the very moment the entire platform collapsed, Hiroshi leaped toward her and grabbed her hand with pinpoint accuracy.

Stelle pulled with one hand, easily hauling Hiroshi up.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

As soon as he was up, Stelle's anxious and concerned gaze scanned his body repeatedly.

"I'm fine, thanks to you."

"Otherwise... I'm afraid I would have been smashed to pieces..."

"It's good that you're okay. But how do you plan to thank me?"

Stelle put her hands on her hips proudly, the corners of her mouth turning up as she joked with him.

"I cannot repay the debt of saving my life, so I can only offer myself to you in marriage..."

"Just kidding, that's impossible. I'll treat you to a big meal instead."

Hiroshi said playfully.

"Psh."

The light in Stelle's eyes instantly dimmed, and she curled her lip.

After some banter, the two began to make their way back.

Hiroshi checked the time and thought to himself while walking side-by-side with Stelle.

Hmm... it's getting late. The Stellaron Hunters could return at any time.

Maybe... I'll wait until tomorrow to settle the score with that crazy woman, Ruan Mei.

After returning to the Main Control Module Section, Hiroshi found a large crowd gathered there. Asta and the heads of various departments were all present.

"Brother Moran, where did you two go just now? The Space Station suddenly shook. You didn't run into any danger, did you?"

Asta quickly walked up to them. Only after seeing no obvious injuries on them did she relax.

"Well... it's like this, Station Master Asta. We did encounter a small trouble in the Containment Zone that could have threatened the Space Station, but it's been resolved!"

"I... actually didn't help much..."

Stelle scratched her head and admitted somewhat awkwardly.

Hearing this, Asta was stunned for a moment. Once she processed it, her heart was filled with admiration for Hiroshi and Stelle.

Resolving a crisis that could have threatened the entire Space Station so quietly...

Protecting everyone silently when danger strikes—Brother Moran is truly amazing! As expected... of the person I like... Sigh... If only it were me standing by Brother Moran's side, adventuring with him... "Ahem, thank you so much. But next time something like this happens, Brother Moran, remember to notify me. It's too risky for you to follow her."

"I... I understand..."

Hiroshi replied obediently.

"Alright, it's fine now."

"It's late, everyone should go back and rest."

Having seen him resolve the Doomsday Beast on his own, Asta wasn't overly worried about his strength.

As soon as Asta spoke, the crowd began to disperse.

Just as Hiroshi was about to leave with Stelle, Asta grabbed him.

"Brother Moran, come with me for a moment. Let me see if you've been hurt anywhere else."

"Ah!?"

Hiroshi was suddenly a bit surprised.

After Station Master Asta was shaken up like that earlier, is she still not satisfied?

Helpless, he could only give Stelle an apologetic look—though he was secretly delighted inside—and then obediently let Asta lead him away.

Oh right! Speaking of which, I kept forgetting to have Station Master Asta arrange a private room for Stelle. If Madam Herta sees her when she gets back... Uh... I'm afraid I'll be skinned alive... Left behind, Stelle watched their departing figures and grumbled unhappily.

You clearly promised to sleep with me tonight!

Inside Asta's room.

"Station Master Asta, are you really sure you can still hold up?"

"It still hurts a bit, but... who told you to be so enticing?"
