In the Super Iron Curtain, Xue Dili looked up at the sky where the light screen continued its endless propaganda.
This was a terrifying place, where the lights in the sky broadcast the might and prosperity of the Super Iron Curtain 24 hours a day, filled entirely with glory, freedom, democracy, and loyalty.
Here, workers took pride in dying on the assembly line, females took pride in birthing multiple children each year, scientists took pride in developing more brutal weapons, warriors took pride in falling in battle on alien worlds...
What frightened him most was seeing a piece of propaganda openly advocating for the early ending of one's life after losing reproductive ability, to lessen the burden on the great Federation.
He saw two old ladies seemingly chatting, discussing which of their dozens of children had achieved success and what honors they had obtained, also mentioning that they had prepared dinner for everyone, so the children could eat as soon as they returned.
Then, the great turbine beside them started turning.
The old ladies immediately said, "Oh oh oh, it's starting, it's starting, let's hurry up for the glory of the Super Iron Curtain," and with that, they each jumped into the great turbine, turning into countless pieces of flesh.
Witnessing this scene, even Xue Dili, let alone others, found all the heroes of Greece showing expressions of anger and terror; it was the first time Xue Dili saw the expression of "fear" on their faces.
Even when they knew they were facing a certain death while challenging Zeus, they never had such expressions.
Everyone remained in a terrifying silence, suddenly realizing that even the filthiest places of Ancient Greece were a thousand times better than here.
"This world is beyond salvation." Hercules seemed to be shocked for a long time before slowly uttering these words.
"But they all believe they're living in Heaven." Xue Dili pointed to some citizens in the distance injecting themselves with stimulants to continue their work.
The people around them seemed accustomed to it, as if they thought these citizens weren't working hard enough.
"I wish Zeus would unleash a world-destroying flood here." someone said.
They suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for Zeus; they used to think Zeus was the worst in the world, but now they might suddenly find him quite human-like.
In the sky, the propaganda machines continued broadcasting.
"The Super Magical Motive Armor - Magical Dao Ghost God, possesses the power to cleanse the continent with a single blow, compatible and controlling all other Magical Motive Armors, it is the Super Iron Curtain Federation's ultimate weapon for final combat, and will be used in combat for the first time in this war."
In the sky screen, the one-hundred-meter-tall gigantic mecha, Magical Dao Ghost God, was incredibly stunning, massive and full of power, its main structure resembling a floating battleship or an airborne fortress, possibly equipped with anti-gravity devices or energy halos at the bottom, presenting a levitating state, fitted with giant thrusters and wing-like structures, with a glowing core region at the chest, the terrifying energy it exuded could be felt even through the images.
A series of parameters displayed made the onlookers below the light screen utter various strange cries such as "Ah! Wow! Yay! Oh!"
Standing 120 meters tall, weighing 280,000 tons, it possesses Quasi-5th Tier destructive power, capable of destroying an entire continent with a single hit when firepower is fully unleashed.
One could say except for its large energy consumption, it's all advantages.
As a weapon seemingly born for invasion, no wonder this civilization doesn't care about the Super Beasts on the Giant Beast Planet, or the Super Beast Kings, this Magical Dao Ghost God can be individually invincible below Tier Five.
The most important thing is, this is a special model configured for the General, integrating the ability to control other Magical Motive Armors, making this Magical Dao Ghost God able to micro-manage other Magical Motive Armors as if playing a real-time strategy game from a god's perspective.
Xue Dili watched the Magical Dao Ghost God on the light screen in the sky, his gaze fixated, this was an expression the Greeks were very familiar with, the same expression Zeus had when his smaller head was in control.
"What do you think about being a Minotaur?" Xue Dili's mouth curled into a very sinister smile.
"Moo, what moo?"
Looking at the Magical Dao Ghost God in the sky, Xue Dili laughed, "A self-destroying civilization game."
...
"Roar!"
The angry roar of the Giant Beast once again reverberated through the skies.
As the sun set in the west, the wilderness was a scene of wreckage; Zero had several large holes on its body, and the massive explosions had destroyed many siege cannon encampments.
The Giant Beast's blood spilled onto the ground, with sulfur continuously seeping from its wounds.
Until the last Death Light obliterated the invader that was still crawling forward with its two hands even after being bisected, this battle finally came to an end.
However, this ambushed battle, even with ample preparation, could only be considered a win with heavy losses, the Giant Beast fell to the ground, curled up in pain.
"Ronald!" the young lady's call resounded.
Everyone gathered by his side, doctors immediately prepared special syringe injections for him, and all sorts of emergency medicines were used.
"I'm fine…" the weary fellow said with a wry smile, but the next moment, he could no longer control his convulsing organs and started to vomit, with large amounts of blood mixed in with the bile.
"Don't talk, don't push yourself, doctor, please…" the young lady's helpless actions appeared in the wilderness.
The stretcher carried him away, and the boy only extended his hand and gave a thumbs-up. In the sunset, the thumbs-up seemed to enter everyone's view.
In the distance, Cloud Star silently watched this scene. This time he didn't come forward but clenched his fists.
This shouldn't have happened; it absolutely shouldn't have happened. Why is it that after being fully prepared, they still needed to rely on Zero's power to achieve their goals?
He knew that the stronger the power, the greater the side effects it must have. From merely suffering minor injuries with ruptured capillaries all over his body, to seeing his junior pay a life-threatening price every time he transformed, he understood it all now.
Possibly next time, or the time after next, he would die.
"Cloud Star, your injuries..."
"No need, I can handle it myself." he said.
He left there directly and returned to the familiar Imperial Capital, which allowed his thoughts to calm down a little.
He prioritized returning to the laboratory, and looking at the familiar trench coat on the hanger, Cloud Star became dazed. It was the teacher's garment, just hanging there on the hanger, looking at its back seemed as if he was seeing the teacher's back.
He walked over, took the coat down, put it on, and walked outside.
In the Imperial Capital, it had completely entered a rebuilding atmosphere.
A lot of ruins were cleared, and then one bulldozer after another toppled all the affected houses, finally building countless tin houses on the ruins to ensure people could get through this catastrophe smoothly.
The children were beginning to forget the disaster from several days ago. With balloons in their hands, they played in the ruins as if forgetting their worries.
Seeing this scene, Cloud Star could smile slightly; he felt he had temporarily forgotten those difficulties and responsibilities, as he's not a tall person, there are many things in this world he can't withstand.
But he must force himself to withstand them, because he is the person entrusted by his teacher to take care of, and if he himself gives up on this persistence, he doesn't know what other goal he has to live for.
But, a careless child stumbled over a loose rock, and beneath her was a protruding steel bar.
"Watch out!" Cloud Star rushed over immediately, and just before she was about to be pierced by the steel bar, water seemed to form a cushion, helping her counteract the falling force.
The girl was stunned, until the water lifted her, and she saw Cloud Star casting spells from afar, and she immediately got up and said, "Thank you, Spiritual Ability User Big Brother, for saving me."
The little girl's mother also noticed what had happened here earlier, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and she immediately rushed over to thank Cloud Star, bowing continuously, constantly expressing her gratitude.
Upon saying goodbye, the little girl seemed to notice Cloud Star's concern and asked, "Big Brother, why are you wearing clothes that don't fit you at all?"
Cloud Star was silent. The clothes he was wearing belonged to his teacher, who was six feet tall, while he was only five feet three inches. Although he was still young and could grow taller, those clothes several sizes larger did not fit him well.
"Sorry, the child always says things that are hard to understand." The mother quickly bowed.
"No." Cloud Star smiled, patting her head, "Because this is my favorite hero's clothes that he left behind."
"Oh... the Big Brother's favorite hero?" She couldn't imagine it because, to her, this Big Brother was already her hero.
"Yes, but I will never become him." Cloud Star looked at the ruin-covered Imperial Capital, at this moment, memories flooded his mind again.
"Why say that? To me, Big Brother, you're already a hero." The little girl's innocent words left Cloud Star stunned, and as she was leaving, she turned back and said, "In the future, I'm going to wear clothes just like yours!"
Watching her departing figure, as the sunset gradually set, his fingers clenched.
Yes, to others, he was already the last refuge; is there still time to be lost and sentimental here?
"Cloud Star, the next battle meeting requires your attendance." A black luxury car stopped in front of him, and Cloud Star saw a congressman get out, someone he recognized, someone he had met in the Twin Towers.
"Is there any Super Beast Serum left?" Cloud Star asked the congressman.
"Uh, because of the massive side effects, the serum has been fully recalled and destroyed. Although the experiment indeed could transform one into a Super Beast, all humans would get lost in it. We cannot gamble on such a void-like chance, it's criminal..." The congressman was sweating, explaining continuously.
"Is there, or isn't there?"
"We still left a little bit..."
"Inject it into me." He looked at the ruins of the city and said this.
The congressman was instantly stunned. He looked at the second person in the world who possessed a Magic Ring in front of him, also the second in the world to be able to transform into a Giant Beast, unsure of how to dissuade him.
He could only keep repeating, "It's an extremely dangerous substance. To this day, no one has been able to maintain their sanity after such transformation... it's forbidden power..."
"I will succeed!" Cloud Star declared his victory, "Because, in essence, I am already a Giant Beast."
