Chapter 65 Before the Fight

"The creator of the cold wave, the king of the split world, and the cancer of all worlds—that's the status of the stelleron. Each title is stronger and more dominating than the last."

"My name is——."

"I'm the strongest on this planet. Since I absorbed Orion Astra, my power has only grown. I'm so strong now that only one person in the past thousand years has even come close to me."

"Come close to me? Ha! After taking in Orion Astra, my power is way beyond his!"

"I'll do whatever it takes to keep my invincible power. Even if it means enduring humiliation for seven years or devouring 'human power' that I despise, it's all just part of my path to freedom. It's just a small setback."

"This is my path, my way!"

"Maybe those lesser beings won't understand my thoughts or my 'salvation.' How can there be rebirth without destruction?"

"How could I be wrong by showing them a new world? No, it's only the fault of the lower creatures and the bugs!"

"Without my great power, they would still be suffering from the Antimatter Legion's invasions!"

"So, everyone who wants to avoid death, escape suffering, and welcome a new world must respect me, be loyal to me, and worship me!"

"Respect me, the creator of the cold wave, be loyal to me, the king of the world, worship me, the cancer of all worlds!"

"I am the Stellaron!"

Outside Belobog, Stellaron's spirit and body finally merged completely, and the giant form shrank instantly to human size.

During this merge, a powerful mental force swept over everyone in Belobog, hitting them hard. Whether hiding underground or on the city walls, everyone felt the impact. The strong words carried the power of Stellaron, hitting people like a heavy hammer. If they weren't mentally strong, they could become puppets of Stellaron's influence.

"What's happening?"

"Who's talking?"

"The Split World? Isn't that gone?"

In the largest underground shelter in Belobog, hundreds of thousands of people were shocked by Stellaron's voice. Some were overwhelmed, some had blurry eyes, but a few managed to stay unaffected.

"Seele! Are you okay?" In the chaos, the silver-haired girl looked around.

"It's so noisy, just one voice in my head is enough!" Seele clutched her purple hair and twisted it into a mess, turning to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Where else? To fight this guy!"

Seele's fierce determination met Bronya's unwavering gaze.

"I'll go with you."

The two shared a look of mutual understanding. In the face of disaster, their conflicts melted away, leaving only unity, cooperation, and courage.

In the darkness underground, people's resolve shone through. Even though they were vulnerable, they knew they had to fight for their survival!

Without unity, the people of Belobog would be no better than their ancestors in the past. Without cooperation, they'd reveal their darker sides, leading to many casualties. Without courage, there wouldn't be so many willing to fight for survival and for those around them.

"I, Wallace Cambridge Limestein, and I am ready to fight for Belobog. Anyone who wants to fight alongside me is my friend!"

A well-dressed man stood up, shouting with all his might.

"Isn't that the rich guy who usually stays in the borough square?"

People recognized him and were surprised by his words. Wallace 's call inspired everyone, helping them resist Stellaron's mental attack.

Like a small fire in the snow, even if it might go out soon, it still warms the land around it.

Orion saw all of this.

"The people of Belobog are different now."

Orion could have blocked the mental influence so the people wouldn't hear it, but he wanted to see Belobog's transformation and understand their will.

As the people of Belobog took action, a comforting voice appeared in their hearts.

"Traveler of the Astral Express, Protector of Belobog, and Emanator of [Remeberance]."

"My name is Orion Astra, a person like you."

"Since arriving on this planet, I've taken on many missions. People call me the 'savior,' but I missed an opportunity to fully defeat the Stellaron."

 "Failure seems tied to my destiny. Every step, every choice, something holds me back from delivering the final blow." "

"But I don't believe in fate. Even if Stellaron grows stronger, I believe there's a way to succeed."

"I won't mess things up just because I can't do it. I'll leave it to someone who might succeed in the future. No matter what gods or fate says, I, Orion Astra, will do what I must!"

"Just like I promised ten years ago."

"I will fight for myself, for those who trust me, and for everyone in Belobog. This battle will show you all."

"There are no gods or chosen saviors. We can only rely on ourselves to create happiness."

"My presence here is thanks to you and all the people of Belobog!"

"The Stellaron is now a symbol of Jarilo-VI's myths and nature. I will show you."

"Myths can be defeated!"

After these words, Orion and Stellaron, the two greatest forces on the planet, clashed in an earth-shattering collision!
