Chapter 11 The Black Tower Arrives, the Doomsday Beast!
"By the way, is this baseball bat your weapon?" After walking for a while, March Seven looked curiously at the baseball bat in Hoshi's hand. It was the first time she had ever seen someone use a baseball bat as a weapon.
Upon hearing this, Xing pointed at Chen Feng and said matter-of-factly, "That's right, he gave me this baseball bat, saying it was my personal weapon!"
As she spoke, she swung the baseball bat, which whistled through the air. "It feels pretty good!"
Chen Feng looked at the messages flooding the group chat, and his scalp tingled slightly at Black Tower's slightly threatening words at the end.
"Tsk, the creditor... no, the real owner of the space station is about to arrive." He left the chat group and muttered to himself.
Just as Chen Feng finished muttering to himself, an elegant and intellectual figure gracefully walked out from around the corner of the passage.
With her long, wine-red hair, elegant dress, and gentle, composed smile, she is none other than Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train.
"Thank you for your hard work, March and Danheng." Himeko's voice was like a rich cup of coffee, carrying a comforting power.
Her gaze swept over the crowd, lingering a moment longer on Chen Feng and Xing, the "father and daughter," with a subtle hint of bewilderment in her eyes.
"Sister Ji Zi!" March 7th seemed to have found her pillar of support, immediately rushing forward, pointing at Chen Feng, her voice low but unable to hide her excitement and confusion, "You'd never guess! This Mr. Chen Feng is actually the Commander! The Commander of the Guardian!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Himeko's smile. She gracefully walked up to Chen Feng and nodded slightly. "Mr. Chen Feng, I've heard so much about you. I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train. Thank you for taking care of these two children."
Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction. Listen to this, this is what a normal person should say to an envoy. And look at Xing... well, never mind, why should he argue with a child who has only been born for a short time?
"Just call me Chen Feng," Chen Feng waved his hand and glanced helplessly at Xing, who was holding a baseball bat and had a "my dad is awesome" expression on his face, and sighed.
"My dear daughter, come here quickly." Chen Feng suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and beckoned to Chaoxing with a mischievous smile.
"What's wrong, Dad!" When she arrived, March 7th had already told her what the Star Envoy was. Now that she knew her cheap father was so awesome, she was like Chen Feng saying go east and she wouldn't dare go west. If Chen Feng told her to catch a duck, she would definitely not catch a chicken.
"This is Ms. Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train, and also... well, probably one of your potential future guardians?" Chen Feng introduced, deliberately making his words ambiguous.
Himeko's calm expression turned somewhat bewildered upon hearing the way the two addressed each other.
"Guardian?" Hoshi frowned, then, as if struck by a sudden realization, her eyes lit up as she stared at Himeko and said, "So she's the stepmother you're looking for for me?"
Xing's clear, resonant, and "logical" question was like an antimatter bomb dropped into a silent passageway.
"Pfft—!" March 7 had just taken a sip of juice that she had somehow managed to pull out, and instantly sprayed it all over Dan Heng's sleeve.
Dan Heng glanced expressionlessly at his wet sleeves, then at Xing, who was always making outrageous statements, and silently took a step to the side, as if he wanted to get away from this "logic black hole".
Himeko's signature, composed, and elegant smile froze completely.
Her gentle eyes widened unusually, filled with disbelief, bewilderment, and a hint of shock, as if struck by lightning.
"Step...stepmother?" Himeko's voice carried a hint of unease, her gaze shifting between Chen Feng, who was equally stunned, and Hoshi, who had a "praise me for my amazing reasoning" look on her face, before finally settling on Chen Feng's face.
"Mr. Chen Feng... this... I need an explanation?"
Chen Feng rubbed his temples, about to explain.
Just then, a slightly mocking voice came from the corridor not far away.
"Guardian? Stepmother? Chen Feng, your drama script is more exciting than my simulated universe."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
At the other end of the passage, a tall woman in a purple dress and a magician's hat was looking at them with a cold expression.
Beside her, Estella followed with an embarrassed and helpless expression.
There is no one else but that woman who could make Estádio treat her this way.
She is the true owner of the Black Tower Space Station, the 83rd member of the Genius Club—Black Tower!
She had arrived at some point and had clearly witnessed the most dramatic part of the "family ethics" farce.
"???" Chen Feng slowly typed out several question marks, puzzled, "Wait, didn't you say you were almost there? So, by 'almost there' you mean you're almost in front of me, right?"
"What else did you think it was?" Black Tower said softly, nodding to Himeko. "Miss Himeko, it's a pleasure to meet you."
The farce was forced to stop, and Himeko's expression calmed down, but she was somewhat surprised when she saw Black Tower: "Miss Black Tower, I didn't expect you to come in person."
Hei Ta looked at Chen Feng helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. After all, there's someone I have to see in person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent several days traveling."
Himeko nodded knowingly. Indeed, the existence of a Commander deserved such treatment from the Black Tower.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hei Ta turned his gaze to Xing, and after a few glances, looked at Chen Feng with some confusion and said, "This is the daughter you adopted? She doesn't look particularly special. You're not just trying to play around with her, are you?"
Chen Feng smiled upon hearing this: "If you say so, then so be it."
Black Tower rolled his eyes: "How ridiculous. By the way, why aren't you dealing with that big guy outside? What's the point of keeping him around?"
"Big guy?" March 7 tilted his head in confusion. Just as Chen Feng was about to speak, the Black Tower Space Station suddenly experienced a violent tremor.
"boom!!!"
"W-what's going on?" March 7th stumbled and almost fell, looking at everyone in a daze.
"It's the Legion's Doomsday Beast!" Himeko said gravely as she looked out the open window beside her, regaining her balance.
Dan Heng's expression also darkened, and he frowned as he looked out the window.
Outside the open window, a colossal, pale beast, hundreds of meters in size, was baring its fangs and claws, hurtling towards the space station.
Only Chen Feng and Heita's expressions remained unchanged.
"Doomsday Beast? What's that?" Xing looked at the giant beast in confusion.
"It's a Doomsday Beast!!!" March 7 exclaimed in disbelief, "Why would a Doomsday Beast appear?!"
She initially thought they were just some illusory soldiers, since there are many illusory soldiers in the universe. But the Doomsday Beasts are different; they are elite individuals of the legion and rarely roam outside.
