NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Doomsday Beast
-March, Dan Heng, good job.
The one who greeted us as soon as we arrived at the Main Command Area was Himeko, the restorer of the Astral Express.
-Himeko~!
It didn't take long for March to rush over and hug her.
-Are you all right, Arlan? Asta was very worried about you.
-I'm fine, Mr. Nadie already cured me, thank you for asking. I'll go immediately to report the situation to the chief investigator. See you later.
After Arlan left, Himeko's attention turned to the two of us, Stelle and me.
-It's nice to meet you. I'm Himeko, the Astral Express pilot. You're Nadie, right? Herta and Asta never stop talking to me about you, it's nice to finally meet you.
-It's no big deal, Mommy.
-Mommy?
-Nothing, you heard wrong.
I really have to do something about my bad habit....
-And you are?
This time Himeko's attention went straight to the girl who shows no intention of letting go of my hand.
-I'm Stelle, Nadie's wife.
-Hey, don't proclaim yourself like that out of the blue.
I'll be sure to educate her properly later.
-Nadie's wife? Strange, I'm pretty sure Nadie is married to Herta, isn't it?
--Huh?!
This sudden statement by Himeko left March and Stelle with their mouths hanging open. As for Dan Heng...
-I see, no wonder the name Nadie sounded so familiar. You're also married to the Celestial Claw of Xianzhou Yaoqing, aren't you?
-Two wives?!
March was so surprised that he couldn't help but shout a second time.
-I don't know why you're so surprised, the news that Herta and Feixiao got married and share the same husband was one of the hottest interstellar news in the universe. I'm pretty sure you heard the news on the radio a few years ago with us.
-But Dan Heng, this and that is very different! Something is hearing it from a radio but meeting him in real life! That I would never have imagined! I-I mean, is that right? Marrying two important women at the same time....
-In my defense, I was the one who was seduced. I fell into his cunning clutches without the chance to resist, and somehow I ended up letting myself be carried away by the pleasure.
-Kyaaa! Nadie seems so innocent but in reality he's all grown up! Did you hear that Stelle?! Wait, Stelle?!
Next to me, Stelle's body is lying there lifeless...
-I was defeated. Not just once but twice...
-Just to clarify, I have 4 women.
-Ugh! *cough!*.
For some reason, Stelle started vomiting blood in an exaggerated manner.... Scaring March in the process.
-Kyaaa! Doctor, somebody get a doctor fast! Stelle's leaving us!
-What an exaggeration...
After hearing my murmur, the life in Stelle's eyes suddenly revived, and she stood up with her spirits fully restored.
-If Nadie already has 4 wives, doesn't that mean I could be the 5th?
-Perhaps...?
I didn't know how to answer that question but I didn't want the protagonist of the game to die prematurely either....
-Oh yes! Then all that's left to do is to rape Nadie to have his child and then...
-Wait wait wait wait! What do you think you're planning to do?! I'm not falling into the same trap again!
-Tsk. So someone's already beat me to it?
-That's what you're worried about?!
Although she did not get pregnant, that is how Herta convinced me to take her as my 3rd wife.... And no, the reason why I don't have children isn't because I'm infertile; somehow, the Path of Abundance allows me to control my own fertility to a certain extent.
-Fufufu~ I see you two are getting along very well.
Hikemo's comment made me look at her with a strange look.
-Or maybe not...?
-*Sigh*. You're not wrong but...
If only you knew that Stelle wasn't joking about it....
-Asta was worried about you guys, how about we go see her?
Himeko's proposal was perfect to control the situation. Now yes, we all headed off to meet the head researcher of the Space Station.
-Radar projectile tracking, normal. The telemetry signal frequency is too high! We must keep it at the normal level! Our measurements predict that the Legion is about to launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Get ready!
-Asta, we're here!
March's greeting immediately attracted Asta's attention.
-Phew, I'm glad to see you safe and sound. Thanks for all your help.
When Asta notices my presence too, she gets excited.
-Ah! Nadie! You're finally here! Thank goodness you're all right!
-Of course, who do you think I am?
I declared with a lot of confidence.
-Thanks for the intervention despite being so busy, the researchers told me, your arrows saved many lives when they needed it most. Thanks to you, Nadie, the damage to everyone's spirit is minimal.
--Arrows?
Only Marzo and Stelle were confused at Asta's words.
-It's one of my many abilities, I can shoot energy arrows.
-Wow! Not only can you heal but you're also an archer like me?! You can do everything!
-Fuh~ Well, you're not wrong.
At this point, Dan Heng must have already noticed that the rumors were true, the fact that I am an Emanator of several Aeons. As for Himeko, she should have already known from the beginning thanks to Herta.
-It's good that the morale of the researchers has not dropped. Did you try to contact Herta?
-I sent many letters and received no reply. You know her, Himeko, the Space Station is nothing more than a warehouse for her followers and their rare objects. She doesn't care much about it. Unless...
-Unless I personally send him a message.
I interrupted Himeko and Asta's conversation.
-And yes, I already did. But, for some reason, she doesn't get the message.
I showed my cell phone screen as proof. Something is interfering with the connection.
[Alert!] [Alert!] [Alert!] [Alert!]
Alert symbols started appearing all over the place.
In front of the main screen, the image of the Doomsday Beast trying to break through the Space Station's defenses is visible.
-Go on the Express, I'll stay!
Asta immediately advises Himeko and her group to leave.
-But...!
-Let's go.
Although March is hesitant, she still listens to Himeko's command.
Stelle takes my hand and tries to take me with her but, unlike the other time, this time I don't move from the place.
-You go with them, I'll be fine.
-...
Seeing that I had no intention of leaving the Space Station no matter what, Stelle didn't move from the spot either.
-What are you doing?
I asked curious about her decision.
-If you're not leaving, I'm not leaving either.
-*Sigh*. Go with them.
-But...
-I said go with them.
-...
Seeing that he wouldn't take "no" for an answer, Stelle reluctantly left with the Astral Express group.
-That's better.
We'll meet again anyway.
-----
-Will they be all right?
As the group ran in the direction of the Astral Express, Stelle asked Himeko with concern.
-Don't worry. Believe it or not, Nadie is actually a very powerful person.
Without stopping the race, Himeko proceeded to explain. And Dan Heng continued.
-According to rumors, Nadie is Emanador of 5 Aeons. I thought it was a meaningless rumor but, seeing that his relationship with Herta and Feixiao is true, I guess the fact that he is a Multi-Way Emanator is not actually false.
-Unbelievable! Is it possible to be the Emanator of several Aeons at once?!
-March...
Even if the news sounds implausible, it is still news that shocked all interstellar worlds when it was revealed to the public.
-It's like Dan Heng says, the Space Station will be safe as long as Herta or Nadie, either one, is present. I can assure you of that, Stelle. Don't worry about them.
-Un...
In no time, the Astral Express group arrived at the platform of the Space Station but....
-The Express hasn't arrived yet!
March exclaimed upon seeing the empty platform.
-With such a big change in the Space Station's movements, it's impossible for Mr. Yang not to notice the chaos. The Express will be here any minute.
Dan Heng calmly explained.
-If so, I'll go and take a closer look! I have good eyesight after all!
-Wait, March!
Before he could advance another step further, a giant shadow passes over everyone at high speed.
-The Beast of Judgment. It's really here...
Himeko frowned at the large enemy that appeared in front of them but March was brave.
-Hey, come down here!
-Be careful!
As if it had heard March's challenge, the Doomsday Beast lands on the platform and roars with all its might.
The first boss of the game made his presence known.
