The anime starts from Star Iron

Chapter 288 Void Commander VS Annihilation Lord
At the Kroc Film Park.

A long-planned major battle is about to break out.

At this moment, Sand Gold was already standing in the center of the stage, taunting the people on the Starry Sky Train and Huang Quan below.

According to the original plan for Sunday, this scene should have been broadcast live across Pinocchio.

But Fu Le's sudden arrival changed the situation again.

The plot has returned to square one.

The gold dust continues its epic battle with the Star Train in the obscure Krok Film Park.

This time, however, he was full of confidence, rather than filled with uncertainty and speculation.

Transformed into a bizarre gold dust, Sand Gold fights five opponents simultaneously: Himeko, Welt, Hoshi, March 7, and Yomi.

However, Huang Quan was still hiding his strength when the battle just began.

At this moment, she was fighting solely with her physical skills and a sword that was still sheathed.

However, apart from Yomi, the other three, including Himeko, had already used their full strength.

This battle also clearly exposed the Star Train's shortcomings in terms of hard power.

Himeko's combat prowess lies entirely in technology, but currently, the technological creations that can be used in battles against top-tier Destiny Walkers are generally the work of geniuses. Normal technological weapons are rarely useful in battles against top-tier Destiny Walkers.

This was very evident in this battle.

Himeko withstood a single space-based orbital cannon shot from Sand Gold, emerging completely unscathed.

Then came Walter.

As he came into contact with the new energy system, Imaginary Force, and embarked on a pioneering journey, Walter's strength gradually returned to his peak.

But where was Walter's peak performance?

That was probably when she faced the six-core Sirin during the second Honkai Impact.

When the story progresses to the main story, Welt even gave his core to Bronya, which further reduced his combat power.

But how strong was Sirin back then?
At most, it could destroy the Earth's surface, which is about the same level as Himeko's space-based orbital cannon. That's about the level of combat power of a Herrscher before she ascends to immortality.

When faced with Sirin, Walter's reaction was more like 'sit-ups'.

In the later stages of Honkai Impact 3's storyline, Welt's status has been reduced to that of a leader who provides strategic advice and a research member, rather than a combatant.

Even now, in the Starry Sky Railway world, even if he has recovered to his peak condition, he is still no match for those top-tier Destiny Walkers.

Himeko and Welt play more of a mature and composed role on the Star Train.

In terms of combat ability, the Star Train's top combat power is still Dan Heng in his Dragon Lord form and Xing in his burst state.

As for March 7th, she is more often seen as a mascot.

After all, how strong can you expect her to be when she's screaming in terror at Potio's gun?
Therefore, with Danheng absent and the stars not erupting, Himeko and Welt indeed became the top powerhouses on the train.

However, they were never able to do anything useful to the gold at that time.

Therefore, when Sand Gold unleashed its ultimate move, Huang Quan, standing to the side, judged that the four members of the Starry Sky Train were no longer able to withstand it.

So she took action.

With unimaginable speed, two consecutive slashes swept across, and Sand Gold, unable to withstand the attack, was instantly killed.

However, the four members of the Star Train, who were protected by Huang Quan, were also affected by the void, so much so that they were sent to the Dream Reef along with the sand gold.

However, the two sides are in completely different situations.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

After Huang Quan used his two swords to send the four people from the Sand Gold and Starry Sky Train to Flowing Dream Reef, Huang Quan, who was standing there alone, suddenly heard loud applause.

She turned slightly and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

What she saw was a strange man wearing a mask.

"What beautiful swordsmanship! I can tell it's been honed through countless battles. Your swordsmanship exudes the purest killing intent."

"Such swordsmanship reminds me of an old friend; her swordsmanship was just as murderous as yours!"

The visitor was none other than Fu Le.

He had been watching the battles involving the gold dust, the Star Train, and the Underworld.

He only appeared after Huang Quan had sent them all away.

"who are you?"

Huang Quan asked blankly.

She did not recognize Fu Le as the person she had met briefly on the tavern stage.

After all, her memory wasn't very good.

Even dealing with the Annihilation Gang personally required a lot of effort to remember, let alone Fu Le, whom he had only met once and hadn't even spoken to.

"You may call me Blackie."

Fu Le immediately announced Hei E's full name.

"As for the purpose of my visit? I've come to ask you to leave Pinocene, you messenger of nothingness."

Fu Le put his hands behind his back and spoke to Huang Quan in a calm tone.

He took the place of the dreamer on this trip.

After all, in the 'conspiracy' that he and Sunday rearranged, there was no longer a place for the dreamer.

"Let me leave? You're the manager of Pinocene?"

Huang Quan frowned.

She was aware of this long ago; she knew very well that she, trapped in nothingness, would be unwelcome wherever she went.

So she never stops traveling and is always on the move.

After all, being shrouded in nothingness would unconsciously influence her surroundings.

Therefore, if the managers of Pinocchio discover her true identity, they will definitely come to expel her.

But she has not yet achieved her goal of coming to Pinocone.

Furthermore, she didn't believe the other party was a manager at Pinocene.

This is her intuition.

"Of course I am not the manager of Pinocone, I am the destroyer of Pinocone, I am here to destroy Pinocone."

Fu Le stretched out his palm, and the power of destruction burned in his palm.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation!?"

Huang Quan's expression turned serious.

Its signature destructive power was so conspicuous that she saw through its true nature at a glance.

Adding to what the other party said, the truth becomes clear.

This is a tyrant of destruction who has come to destroy Pinocchio.

"Exactly!"

Fu Le couldn't help but straighten his back and puff out his chest.

He really enjoyed the feeling of pretending to be cool by wearing someone else's clothes.

"I never expected that Pinocchio would be targeted by Destruction. But if it were you, it wouldn't be surprising to be targeted anywhere."

Huang Quan couldn't help but sigh.

She traveled constantly through the galaxy and saw too many places destroyed.

Previously, there were even reports that the Great Lord of Annihilation had attacked the Immortal Ship Luofu.

They fear no place and dare to destroy anywhere.

"Good that you understand, Void Messenger. You don't belong here, so just leave obediently."

“I have been preparing for this for a long time in Pinocchio and really don’t want to cause any trouble. After all, you are just a virtual messenger, so I will give you face and let you leave safely.”

"Black Evil" warned.

"But I have no intention of leaving this planet, nor do I want to see it destroyed by you."

Huang Quan picked up his longsword and placed his hand on the hilt. "I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. The reason I let you go was only to avoid making things more complicated, not because I was afraid of your strength."

"If you insist on not leaving, then I will have no choice but to destroy you along with this planet."

"Do you really want to die for this money-grubbing planet?"

'Black Calamity' continued to warn the Yellow Springs.

"No, I will not die, because you will die by my blade."

A serious look appeared in Huang Quan's eyes.

She would not allow the Extinction Lord to destroy Pinocchio.

This is Ternan's hometown, a place he has long dreamed of returning to.

As her partner, how could she allow the Great Lord of Annihilation to destroy this place?

Moreover, Huang Quan had no goodwill toward the Annihilation Lord who wreaked havoc in the galaxy.

I hadn't encountered this before.

Now that they've met, Huang Quan really wants to let the other party experience the pain of destruction.

"It seems you are determined to be my enemy."

While he was uttering threatening words to Huang Quan, Fu Le was secretly smiling inside.

Because Huang Quan's current behavior is exactly what he wants to see.

What he wanted was for Huang Quan to stay and fight him.

This was his original pursuit.

This is also the source of his desire to get involved in Sunday's script.

So, Fu Le summoned the 'Heavenly Tribulation', gripped the hilt of his sword, and plunged the tip into the ground.

The power of destruction spread from Fu Le's body, flowing over the Heavenly Tribulation, making the deterrent force emanating from the Heavenly Tribulation's sword even stronger.

Sensing the danger emanating from Fu Le, Huang Quan's expression became extremely serious.

She showed no mercy and immediately drew her long sword.

The power of nothingness poured forth from her longsword, staining everything around her with its ethereal color.

And at the heart of all this is the Yellow Springs.

Her long hair instantly faded and turned white.

A pale white hue spread across her body, with only a few spots retaining a vibrant red.

Huang Quan arrived at his peak strength.

Because she knew very well that she had to go all out when facing a powerful figure at the level of a Commander.

After all, even the Yellow Springs is no match for the strange gold dust if the power of nothingness is not used.

Not to mention the Extinction Lord, who far surpasses even the strange gold dust.

"Come on, watch me cut off your head."

Fu Le continued to mimic the words that the Great Lord of Annihilation should say in his mind, as a prelude to the war between the two.

Pulling the Heavenly Tribulation from the ground, Fu Le gripped the hilt of his sword and pointed the tip of the greatsword directly at the Yellow Springs.

Huang Quan did not respond to this.

But she responded to everything she wanted to say with her actions.

That is to slay!

Huang Quan moved with lightning speed, instantly transforming from extreme stillness to extreme motion. She concentrated the power of nothingness onto her blade and then slashed towards Fu Le.

"Well done!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Le's long-suppressed fighting spirit erupted like a volcano.

Facing Huang Quan's slash, Fu Le gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and instantly blocked Huang Quan's blade.

Then, with overwhelming force, he turned defense into offense, forcefully pressing down on Huang Quan's blade and slashing towards Huang Quan's head.

In terms of pure power, there are few people in the entire Starry Sky Railway world who can compare to Fu Le.

Unless they are races that are born with unimaginably large bodies.

Since unlocking his limiter in the world of One-Punch Man, Fu Le's power has been steadily increasing, and he has now far surpassed Saitama.

However, in the worldview of Starry Sky Railway, ordinary people and powerful beings at the level of Envoy are completely incomparable.

They were practically from two different races.

With their vast amounts of imaginary energy at their disposal, they could easily be miniature versions of Star Gods.

In some worldviews, they are even the creator gods of a certain planet, the ones who made the world.

Physical awareness is of no concern to them.

Because imaginary energy can make up for everything.

Upon realizing the difference in strength, Huang Quan immediately used imaginary energy to enhance his wrist strength.

Then she withstood Fu Le's power, which could shatter stars.

"Tsk, as expected of the Commander!"

Feeling the sensation in his hands, Fu Le thought to himself.

This is Fu Le's second time fighting against a powerful figure at the level of a Commander. The last time, he was shooting arrows from the rear using the power of a Star God.

Therefore, Fu Le has some gaps in his knowledge regarding direct clashes between messengers.

After all, no matter how much you see something, it's never as fast as experiencing it firsthand.

Not to mention that Huang Quan is a very rare exception who has reached the level of Commander through his own efforts in his destiny.

Such a powerful individual is beyond the reach of ordinary people, both in terms of mastery of strength and combat wisdom.

Fu Le can experience a lot of fun from Huang Quan.

That's the thrill of fighting.

With this direct contest of strength as the starting point, the battle between Fu Le and Huang Quan immediately entered a fierce state.

The clash between Huang Quan's knife and Fu Le's sword was like two martial arts masters who had reached the pinnacle of their skills clashing at the summit of martial arts.

After all, both Fu Le and Huang Quan had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

Coincidentally, both of them were powerful individuals at the Envoy level.

This makes it easy for the battle to quickly reach a state of evenly matched strength.

With their deliberate restraint, their fight did not cause much damage to the surrounding area.

After all, none of them wanted Pinocchio to turn into dust in the universe.

Even so, the Croker Studios, the main battleground for the two, has been reduced to ruins.

The power of destruction and nothingness remains everywhere, continuously wreaking havoc on the surrounding environment.

After a heated contest, Fu Le and Huang Quan both stopped.

The two stood amidst the ruins, gazing intently at each other.

"I never expected to meet an opponent who is on par with me in martial arts on this Norcony. It's exhilarating!"

Fu Le stopped what he was doing and then said to Huang Quan.

"This makes me want to destroy you even more."

"In that case, let's destroy Pinocone along with you!"

After Fu Le finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

As the snap of fingers rang out, figures suddenly appeared in the Asdna system outside Pinocene, spreading out across the region.

These are all phantom soldiers summoned by Fu Le with the power of destruction.

Since he has already appeared as the Lord of Annihilation, how could he not summon his phantom soldiers to appear?
At the same time, Emerald, who was already prepared outside Pinocene, immediately ordered her fleet: "Everyone, attack!"

"Target: The Antimatter Legion!"
