On the endless, barren snowfield, two figures clashed like giant gods. With one massive punch, thousands of tons of land were hurled into the sky. Their fists unleashed a force more devastating than a nuclear bomb, shaking the ground.
But this was only the aftermath of their fight. Ordinary people couldn't see the battle clearly, nor could they tell who had the upper hand. However, the hearts of everyone in Belobog were with Orion.
Through Orion and their soul connection, hundreds of thousands of people in Belobog could see the stellaron through Orion's "eyes" and witness the battle that would decide the planet's fate.
"Orion, you can do it!" someone in the crowd shouted. Soon, countless voices from across the vast distance echoed, reaching Orion's heart.
"Huh?"
Their battle turned the land and sky beneath them into opposing sides. As the voices of the people reached Orion, the stellaron could sense it too.
"Are you still paying attention to those meaningless voices?" A cold, ruthless voice came from across Orion.
Fully merged with the planet Jarilo-VI, the stellaron was at its strongest. Its breath was linked to the weather, and its body was made of the earth, mountains, and rivers. Every attack from Orion was silently absorbed by the planet itself. In other words, the stellaron had an entire planet as its shield.
To break the defense of the stellaron, any attack must first completely shatter the planet Jarilo-VI. This is even harder than just destroying a planet, which is why all of Orion's attacks failed to cause real damage to the stellaron.
The defense is extremely tough, and the attack power is just as unreasonable. The stellaron can create different elemental effects, both scientifically accurate and boosted by mythical concepts. For example, the stellaron can make a single drop of water as heavy as a mountain. Imagine a "rain" where each drop weighs as much as a mountain.
The stellaron can also add the concept of "accelerating time" to a simple breeze, making nearby plants wither and rocks erode instantly. How should Orion face such overwhelming power? Should he use the "remembrance" power to turn fantasy into reality and start a mythical battle with the stellaron?
No, Orion didn't do that. Every word he spoke was intentional, including his last sentence. Killing the myth not only means defeating the stellaron's power but also destroying the "myth" in the hearts of the people of Belobog.
So, he only used the pure power of fate to enhance his attack and used the power of the "gate" to transfer the stellaron's power.
"Pela, I want you to do something for me." Orion's voice came from an inconspicuous figure in the crowd.
"Hey! Chief Orion Astra! Is there anything I can do to help you?" The sudden request almost made Pela's glasses fall off. Bringing someone back from the dead is completely unscientific, so Pela was understandably nervous about speaking to someone who was supposed to be "dead."
"Don't be nervous, Pela," Orion's calm voice reassured her. "In a moment, your voice will be linked to every citizen in Belobog, and they will all hear you."
"Can everyone hear me?" Pela repeated, still confused.
"That's right," Orion replied. "Right now, every citizen of Belobog is watching this battle through my eyes, and so are you."
"Yeah," Pela swallowed nervously. Almost a million people in Belobog were eagerly watching the fight, thanks to Orion.
In the scene, Orion's white-haired figure moved quickly, dodging the attacks of the stellaron, one after the other. With a light punch, he struck the stellaron's chest, sending it flying back thousands of feet. Nothing in its path could stop it.
But no matter how hard the stellaron was hit, its body remained unscratched. With a swift move, it unleashed a hurricane and rainstorm. Each drop of rain created massive craters in the ground, and every gust of wind forced Orion to use the "door" to deflect the attack.
From the looks of the battle, although Orion could land hits on the stellaron, it always remained unscathed, while Orion seemed to just barely survive each of the stellaron's attacks.
But there are people in the crowd who have complete confidence in Orion Astra. Seele watches like she's enjoying a boxing match without any worry for Orion's situation.
"I need you to analyze the mythical origins of the stellaron when it uses its power again and explain its true nature to the people of Belobog using scientific methods."
"Analyze mythology?" Orion's request surprised Pela. She was good at and enjoyed studying mythology and history, so she understood Orion's words, but...
"Can we really defeat someone like that just by analyzing it?" Pela's thoughts were racing.
"Well? Can you do it?" Orion's voice was calm, like a gentle teacher asking for Pela's opinion.
"It can't be harder than my school exams. Come on, Pela, you can do this!" Pela slapped her cheeks and encouraged herself.
"It's just like giving a lesson to the kids in the square, right?"
"That's not the same!" Pela quickly replied, but her voice got quieter and eventually stopped.
Yes, sometimes Pela worked as a history teacher for children, explaining Belobog's history in the square. In history, various events often had a hint of myth, and people thought of the world outside the snowfield as a grand and magnificent place. In that other world, it was believed no humans existed except in Belobog.
Before Orion and Cocolia revealed the truth about the stellaron, people still saw the cold wave as a "miracle."
Pela knew that even now, despite the spread of "scientific education," many people in Belobog still deeply respected "myths."
However, what Orion planned to do was to break down the "mythical" stellaron right in front of them!
"Come on, Pela, show the same courage you do when teaching kids. I hope your teaching skills haven't faded over the past seven years."
"Alright!" After calming herself, Perla took a few deep breaths and began the most important lesson of her life.
"Dear citizens of Belobog, my name is Pelageya Sergeyevna, and at the request of Lord Orion Astra, I want to share something with you."
For a moment, Pela felt all eyes in Belobog were on her.
