Chapter 45: March 7th's Live Broadcast, Battling the Doomsday Beast
"Roar!!!" Ren's actions enraged the Doomsday Beast. Its entire body glowed with golden light, energy converging at its core.
The Doomsday Beast was forged by the Antimatter Legion using fragments of the Twilight Ancient Beast. The entanglement of vengeful spirits formed its hands, the shadow of ancient disasters its tail. It imprisoned the wills of sentient beings who had not found peace. Its core was an anti-matter engine driven by a wisp of the Ancient Beast's will.
Outside the shattered space station lay the vast, silent starry sky where one could still breathe. The only pity was that he couldn't damage the station too much, and there was no wind to manipulate.
"Help me look after Momonga. He's just a normal person," Ren said, then shot out in an instant flight.
The others looked back, confused, at Momonga awkwardly cowering behind a pillar.
Ren, with a mortal body, contended against the Doomsday Beast. It was enraged by the defiance of a tiny human. Its black and white giant claw slammed down, the flowing Imaginary power like a force that could tear heaven and earth apart. Ren's expression was calm, blocking it with a wall of compressed air. Then, he threw out punch after punch of explosive air. The powerful airflow pushed the Beast's body back.
Cornered, it shot out dozens of energy beams. They concentrated on his body but were unable to break through, instead being mercilessly reflected back.
Are they really here together? Himeko, Stelle, and Dan Heng all had this thought, looking at the cowering Momonga and the fighting Ren.
After Ren's reminder, March 7th opened the Chat Group.
[Momonga: Wow, wow, wow! The big boss is too fierce! He just went up to that super big monster and hammered it!]
[Exusiai: Is the battle very intense?]
[Momonga: Extremely intense! Just like a movie!]
[Exusiai: I want to watch!]
[Nami: Fighting a monster! Will Ren be in danger?]
[Momonga: …Instead of worrying about the big boss, you should worry about me! I'm shivering here! The aftermath could wipe me out!]
[Saeko Busujima: Why don't you use the new function and live stream it?]
[Momonga: Oh, oh! You reminded me! I forgot!]
[Ding! March 7th has started a live stream!]
[Momonga: ???]
[March 7th: Hehe, aren't I just trying out the new function? Can everyone see?]
[Saeko Busujima has entered the live stream!]
[Nami has entered the live stream!]
[Exusiai has entered the live stream!]
…A series of messages flooded in.
The live stream unfolded from March 7th's perspective. What came into view was the intense battle between Ren and the Doomsday Beast. It was an immersive experience.
[Shinobu Kocho: How terrifying! This is incomparable to demons. Even Muzan couldn't survive this!]
[Saeko Busujima: This is the first time I've seen Ren-kun fight like this.]
[Exusiai: He has gotten stronger.]
[Momonga: Shivering!]
[Aqua: It's barely acceptable. Not as strong as This Goddess.]
[Nami: Your standards are too high! This is already very strong!]
[March 7th: That's right! He saved me just now! His save was very cool!]
[Shinobu Kocho: I feel Ren-kun is very strong, but he seems unable to kill that monster.]
She was right. He could contend with it, even suppress it, but he couldn't kill it. The Doomsday Beast had no blood or bioelectricity. Manipulating the vectors within its body was meaningless. The power of wind in space was limited. He couldn't create cosmic wind. Using plasma from the station wasn't realistic. In this constrained space, he could only fight in close combat.
In terms of physical strength, he might not be as strong as the Beast, but by manipulating force, he could easily counter its claws and even inflict damage. He also didn't need to worry about its lasers; he could reflect them all. The problem was finding a way to deliver a fatal blow.
