Chapter 46: The Gaze of the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook
Unfortunately, the body's trunk seemed secondary to the Doomsday Beast. Even with one wing disabled, it still had no problems. Its antimatter engine was the source of its power. To defeat it, one had to destroy that engine.
Ren's Vector Manipulation could control the direction of energy, but only energies within the scope of physics that he understood. The energy of the Doomsday Beast's core did not belong to any of those.
Multiple attempts to shatter the core were unsuccessful. Using its own power to reflect attacks also failed. If he had enough time, he could slowly grind its entire body into powder. Unfortunately, the companion time was only 30 minutes.
During the battle, he punched away a black claw that swung at him. Ren frowned, recalling how the beast was defeated in the story. It was the protagonist, Stelle. His gaze swept to the bewildered girl. She possessed a Stellaron and had received the gaze of the Aeon of Destruction.
Understanding this, Ren reflected the Beast's next ray and called out, "I cannot kill this thing! That emotionless-looking girl over there is the key!"
"Are you talking about me?" Stelle blinked her watery eyes. "But even someone as strong as him can't defeat it, how could I?"
Dan Heng shook his head. "That's not what he meant. He can defeat it, but not kill it. Its core cannot be shattered by ordinary power."
Having observed the battle, Himeko agreed. "That's right. I also think you might be the key, Stelle. Your Stellaron."
March 7th also anxiously suggested, "That's right! You have a Stellaron! Why don't you try to use its power?"
"Alright… I'll give it a try," Stelle obediently closed her eyes, attempting to communicate with the power within her. At first, she felt nothing. Suddenly, she felt her body float up.
"Why is she floating?" March curiously poked her hand.
"Back off, March," Himeko said, sensing a certain power emerging. Dan Heng also decisively retreated. As for Momonga, he had already hidden far away.
"Where… is this?" Opening her eyes, Stelle found herself not in the space station, but floating in the void of the starry sky.
At the end of the cosmos, a magnificent and towering figure cast its gaze down. Silver-white hair, dark skin, and a human-like body with golden eyes. The colossal figure wore a long robe and had broken, floating arms. A huge, glowing golden wound was on its chest, with golden blood gushing from its divine body. The Aeon of Destruction, Nanook.
The others didn't know what she was experiencing. They only saw an unknown golden energy gushing from her body as she floated. This energy was actually gathering towards Ren.
"Hmm?" His right hand was covered in golden light, looking similar to the Doomsday Beast's enhanced body. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the energy came from Stelle. "The Stellaron? Or the gaze of the Aeon of Destruction?"
He was unsure what this power was, but he felt that the power within it was very strong. At this moment, the Doomsday Beast's body was battered and broken. Only two of its four wings remained, its tail was gone, and its black claws were shattered. The scales of victory had tipped.
Ren's lips curved into a smile. "The battle should end now."
"Roar!" The Doomsday Beast knew no fear, and its last remaining white claw struck out.
Ren clenched his right hand. An invisible giant hand of manipulated vectors gripped the white claw. As his gaze sharpened, the pressure intensified. Crack! The Beast's armor-like body began to crack.
But he didn't delay. With time about to run out, a great tornado raged. Strong winds surged within the space station. Under extreme thrust, Ren instantly rushed to the Beast's Anti-matter Core.
