Just as the dimensional viewers were marveling at how Tendo, the favored son of the Stars, could exhibit an almost 'crushing' advantage regardless of the enemy he faced,
The dust obscuring Shuang Mo Bing in the distance gradually dispersed.
Shuang Mo Bing slowly emerged from the ruins, his black robe stained with ice shards, and blood staining the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.
However, he merely wiped it away casually with his fingertip, his gaze calm and undisturbed.
After a moment, Shuang Mo Bing looked at Tendo not far away and said plainly, "Tendo Simei, it seems the higher-ups underestimated you."
"Your physique is like your talent... unreasonably strong."
Although Tendo's current Starlight energy fluctuation was only that of a Grade 3 Star Envoy, and his Star Source clearly hadn't undergone a second awakening, Shuang Mo Bing could distinctly sense that even without other techniques, merely relying on his current physical attributes, an ordinary Grade 3 Star Envoy would likely struggle to last three rounds against him.
He was a monster who couldn't be measured by level.
The number one ranking in the Stars was truly deserved.
Tendo merely smiled at Shuang Mo Bing's words, silently acknowledging them.
The next second, Tendo vanished again.
This time, his speed was faster than before, his fists raining down on Shuang Mo Bing.
Every punch carried the force of flesh-on-flesh impact, and every collision shook the space.
In response, Shuang Mo Bing continued to merely defend. The layers of ice on his body were shattered again and again, only to re-condense again and again, his black robe covered in fist marks.
Several areas were even torn by the punch wind, revealing the pale skin beneath.
Bang!
As another punch struck Shuang Mo Bing's chest, something unexpected happened.
A layer of flexible armor, condensed from countless freezing ice thorns, covered the area of Shuang Mo Bing's chest.
Not only did these ice thorns completely neutralize the attack from Tendo,
But at the same time, massive amounts of freezing cold began to spread from Tendo's arm to his entire body, attempting to freeze him completely.
"I have nearly adapted to your moves..."
Hearing this, Tendo, seemingly trapped by the ice thorns, suddenly chuckled.
"Is that so?"
To Shuang Mo Bing's surprise, a strange power suddenly emanated from Tendo's arm.
Vector Reversal!
Boom!
The twisted vectors caused the ice thorns that Shuang Mo Bing originally directed at Tendo to spread back towards his own body instead.
Concurrently, an exaggerated impact force transferred from Tendo's arm onto Shuang Mo Bing's body, sending him flying once more, as if hit by a train.
And this time, Shuang Mo Bing's body only stopped after crashing through many walls.
Yet, observing Shuang Mo Bing once again buried in the ruins, Tendo strangely didn't rush to attack, but stood still on the spot.
It was as if he was convinced that such an attack couldn't truly harm Shuang Mo Bing.
As expected, in just a few seconds, the ruins were thrown open by a blast of cold air.
Shuang Mo Bing's figure reappeared, and this time, he completely shed his disguise.
The black robe and the ice mask vanished, replaced by a military-style trench coat interwoven with dark blue and silver-white.
A man with short blue hair, ice-blue cross-star pupils, and a resolute face appeared before the dimensional viewers.
This was the true face of Shuang Mo Bing.
"Tendo Simei... I must admit, I cannot defeat you with just this level."
"Although it feels a bit like bullying someone weaker, for the sake of the Frost God, so-called face and dignity... are worthless."
Shuang Mo Bing's coat billowed without wind. The cold air radiating from him was stronger than before, as if even space itself was about to freeze.
At the same time, he pulled a small Starlight Dream Stone from his pocket.
"While it carries some risk, if I prepare in advance, I can briefly recover some of my power."
"Come, let us choose a different... battlefield where both of us can go all out."
With that, Shuang Mo Bing crushed the Starlight Dream Stone in his hand.
Following a wave of illusory energy, the scenery around Tendo and Shuang Mo Bing abruptly changed.
When they reappeared, the two were in a desolate, empty city.
This city was the Crimson Mist Capital, where the Sea Music Hall was located.
But even without looking closely, the dimensional viewers on Station 13 instantly understood that this was definitely not the normal 'Crimson Mist Capital.'
Because the 'sky' above them was not the sky, but a mirrored, inverted shadow of a city.
Furthermore, the layout of the shops around them was peculiar, like randomly assembled blocks, making the sense of space confusingly disoriented.
Tendo, standing at one end of the street, raised an eyebrow and explained with a smile.
"A Shared Dream. This Starlight Dream Stone is truly marvelous, unable to be isolated even by my Vector Control, forcing me to be dragged into it."
Hearing this, Shuang Mo Bing, who was also standing at the far end of the street, calmly said, "Dream power, like the quantum data of the Iron Dome family, is a secondary power independent of Starlight energy."
"Star Sources, which are driven by Starlight energy, naturally struggle to influence them."
"That's true."
Tendo nodded, offering no rebuttal.
As the two spoke, the theatrical-cut camera briefly shifted to the reality of the Stars world.
In the space directly beneath the stage, Tendo and Shuang Mo Bing's bodies stood still, eyes closed, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
Combined with their conversation, the dimensional viewers immediately understood that the place the two were currently in was a 'Shared Dream,' similar to the one in the movie 'Inception.'
And Shuang Mo Bing doing this undoubtedly meant he was prepared to get serious.
'Oh no! The Dream Space has no Calamity restrictions like the Aurora Eternal Body Sigh, looks like this military coat uncle is getting serious!'
'The Deep Blue Capital from the first season's underwater scene, the Steam Capital combining wasteland and cyberpunk in the second season, and now a spatially distorted Dream Space. The imagination of the Stars team is truly rich.'
'Grade 2 versus Grade 4? I feel like Tendo Bro might have a tough time this time.'
'First believe, then question!'
'Tendo Bro has future sight; he can't possibly lose.'
Though they said this, the huge disparity in strength still made the dimensional viewers feel that Tendo was likely to have a difficult time this round.
"Tendo Simei... I will let you witness firsthand the sheer... might of a Calamity."
Under the nervous gaze of the dimensional viewers, Shuang Mo Bing decisively activated his Calamity Domain—Silence of the Myriads.
Without any warning, the cold air around him suddenly erupted.
It wasn't just ordinary low temperature, but an absolute freezing capable of freezing 'sound.'
As a strange wave spread, the first thing to disappear was 'sound.'
The sound of the wind on the street, the rolling of pebbles, and even the sound of their own breathing were completely frozen, as if the entire world had fallen into absolute stillness.
The essence of sound is a sound wave generated by object vibration, propagating through a medium (such as air, solids, or liquids).
By freezing these 'mediums,' the propagation channel of sound is naturally 'cut off.'
Shuang Mo Bing's domain, 'Silence of the Myriads,' is the act of freezing these 'mediums.'
While this is highly unscientific, the existence of Calamity-level powerhouses, who represent 'rules,' cannot be explained by science itself.
"Tendo Simei... enjoy this beautiful, silent world, even if you... can hear nothing now."
Watching Tendo stand in place, stripped of his hearing, Shuang Mo Bing slowly raised his hand.
