Chapter 433: That’s Right, Meteor Face! (Please Subscribe!)

Meteor?

Before Ailuoko could even look up to see what it was, Red Lake hurriedly activated the last of her stored energy.

A gentle wave of power enveloped the two humans and the fish. In an instant, Izay and Ailuoko vanished from the small town.

To be more precise, Red Lake used her remaining energy to teleport them at least dozens of kilometers away.

From one edge of the empire to the farthest opposite side.

The spatial transfer had no adverse effects on the three.

Izay was used to this sensation, so he adapted easily to the jumps in space-time.

After regaining her body, Ailuoko’s curse was erased by Izay. With her starry divine form, she didn’t feel a thing.

Not immediately noticing Red Lake starting to weaken beside her, Ailuoko maintained her curiosity and glanced back towards where they had come from.

Then she saw a massive fireball trailing a long tail of flames.

“Wow——! So pretty～! Izay, look! It’s a big fireball!!”

“That’s not a fireball, that’s a meteor, Ailuoko. You can think of it as a shooting star.”

Izay corrected her slightly.

That’s right.

What he had in mind was an attack with absolute destructive power.

—Meteor Face!

Meteors, also known as falling stars, are natural solid fragments that fall from outer space onto planets. They are extraterrestrial objects.

Using his own unique abilities, Izay relied on the intricate magical arrays of the nine astrological studies layered upon each other to attract meteors, dust, or rocky fragments from the universe, altering their orbits to make them fall onto the planet.

When Izay became truly powerful, perhaps he wouldn’t need the magical array’s attraction; just a wave of his hand would suffice.

But that wasn’t the point.

The key was the power.

Meteors entering Earth, due to friction with the atmosphere and contact with air, naturally spark and glow, looking like fireballs.

At the same time, they generate incomparable kinetic energy and impact force.

A meteor nearly a hundred meters in diameter, attracted by the magic array, will directly land in the area where the First Beast resides.

And because it’s not naturally falling to Earth, it can avoid wear during its passage through the atmosphere as much as possible.

The collision caused by a near-football-field-sized asteroid falling naturally would probably happen only every thousand years, creating a force equivalent to the explosion of 100 billion kilograms of TNT.

Everything within twenty kilometers will be instantly flattened.

There will be strong tremors within sixty kilometers.

Even at six hundred kilometers away, one can still feel the gale-force winds.

To be honest, after watching Naruto, Izay himself still harbored some misconceptions about the power of meteors.

Like how meteors falling from space could be stopped by human intervention.

But back then, Izay was indeed too young. After gradually gaining knowledge in this field, Izay realized that such a thing was simply impossible.

Forget stopping a meteor overhead; with power comparable to Tsar Bomba, not turning into ashes on the spot would require Newton’s coffin board to offer protection.

Moreover, due to the low explosion position, the energy generated when the meteor falls might even cause tectonic plate instability.

Izay didn’t think the First Beast stood a chance to survive under this blow.

After all, this wasn’t the power of magic but real physical impact. Mental strength could do very little against it. It had no choice but to take it head-on.

Now, Izay hoped the First Beast would try its best to reduce and withstand the aftermath of the meteor’s fall.

Otherwise, every part of this vast empire might be affected.

As for himself and Ailuoko, they were fine. They should be able to handle things if they pooled their strength.

Mainly concerning the airship “Tiger Ear Grass.”

Laentoluca and Xiao You might get caught in the crossfire.

He hoped they wouldn’t get hurt…

“Don’t look at the meteor anymore, Ailuoko! Can you construct a barrier? Hurry up and create one—It’s going to explode!”

“That’s right, my lord! Quickly use your great power to defend, otherwise we’re doomed!”

“Huh? But I don’t know how to construct any barriers…”

“No worries, I’ll teach you. Like this, and this, and finally this!”

Izay quickly transformed into a mentor, using hand-by-hand methods to help Ailuoko build a defensive barrier.

His magic often has recognizability and enemy-ally differentiation functions.

But that premise is based on magic he releases.

This time was different.

Izay was only responsible for pulling down the meteor.

He couldn’t persuade it to control its power.

So, defense really had to be done by oneself!

Otherwise, you’ll die, ya know!

Just as the barrier appeared, a crimson light streaked across the sky and reached the ground. A dazzling flash illuminated the area briefly before fiery light engulfed everything in sight.

“BOOM——————!”

The concentrated light exploded violently. The meteor’s impact shattered the earth, evaporating the surface with scorching heat. Deeper rock layers melted, and the crust shook violently. Dust and ash shot up high into the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud.

In the center of the explosion, there was an inconspicuous black dot making its final contribution to protect the planet’s life forms.

It, the First Beast, would protect this planet from this meteor today!!

“Snap!” (Throwing hands up.jpg)

Thus, the First Beast was vaporized.

The First Beast failed!! (Horror.jpg)

But, though dead, the First Beast remained glorious!

At least it did reduce some of the meteor’s landing power.

When the shockwave reached Izay’s location, it was already the scattered remnants of the edge range, perfectly blocked by Ailuoko’s shield. Izay rewarded her with a head pat.

At the same moment, aboard the airship “Tiger Ear Grass.”

When the shockwave reached this area, Laentoluca, Nafude, Xiao You, and Cat were intently playing cards.

Suddenly, violent vibrations occurred, causing the entire airship to flip over and be tossed by the shockwave.

“What, what’s happening!? What’s going on!?”

“——An attack!?”

“My cards! My royal flush!!!”

“Forget your royal flush, stupid sister, quickly use your powers to stop the ship!”

The ancient city where the airship was located was far from where the First Beast was. This could be seen from the fact that it took Izay several days to find Ailuoko.

Even so, the residual force of the meteor overturned the transport aircraft parked on the plain, leaving the salvage team members disoriented.

Those who were salvaging at the moment fared worse.

Experiencing earthquake-like tremors, they were terrified pale, abandoning their treasures and running for their lives.
