Chapter 17 Chen Feng Captured by the Galaxy Star?
In response to Gaia's thanks, Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Hey, we're all family, no need for formalities. We're all in the same group, I can help with this little thing."
After a pause, Chen Feng asked again, "So what are your plans next?"
As he spoke, Chen Feng looked at Dilu and the others in the corner. In his previous life, he had wondered why Gaia would bring along these burdens like Dilu. Even if other star gods besides Apollo could not come into contact with the Galaxy Star, couldn't you at least put something in their bags?
He simply couldn't understand Gaia's idea of taking Dilu and the other humans with her.
Faced with Chen Feng's gaze, Dilu and the others felt a mix of doubt, curiosity, and fear, after all, Chen Feng's behavior just now was simply not human.
"Next, I plan to go to Mercury to find Sersis," Gaia replied. "Then I'll find the other companions, and finally we'll go find Apollo together. As long as Apollo is there, Saron won't be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's expression turned somewhat strange. Apollo was indeed strong, but in the original story, he was directly killed by the plot. Would this really be of any use?
However, since it was Gaia's plan, he didn't say anything more.
"Finding Apollo...that's a good plan." Chen Feng nodded, a hint of doubt in his voice. "But Gaia, you're taking these little burdens with you..."
He pointed to Dilu, Xiao An, and Lily, who looked tense behind the rocks, "And this time bomb."
He looked at the Milky Way Star and frowned.
"Is it really convenient to move around? What if Saron sends more people, or Carlos launches a surprise attack? Can you handle it all?"
Gaia's massive body paused slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "The Galaxy Star... only those with pure hearts can touch it without being devoured by its power or causing disaster."
"Dilu is currently the only human who can safely carry it, so taking them along is a last resort." Gaia was reckless, but he wasn't stupid. He knew that taking Dilu and the others along was like carrying a burden, but what could he do?
"Don't you even ask them what they think?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled. Dilu was one thing, but what about the others?
Upon hearing this, Gaia nodded: "What you said makes sense. We should indeed ask them what they think."
The group immediately turned their attention to Dilu and the others.
Behind the rocks, Dilu, Xiao An, Yao Yao, and Lily, who had been watching nervously, suddenly froze, their fear and confusion quickly replaced by a strong sense of identification.
"Yes...yes!" Yao Yao couldn't hold back any longer and cried out, grabbing Dilu's arm tightly.
"Gaia, we...we're just ordinary students! We don't want to get involved in this terrible war! Those robots were terrifying! They'll kill us!"
The thought of Anubis and Carlos's terrifying power, and the inhuman fighting skills displayed by Chen Feng and Angel Yan, made her tremble uncontrollably.
Xiao An nodded vigorously, her face pale. "We just want to go home! To find our mom and dad! Saving the universe like this... is too dangerous! We can't do it!"
He witnessed firsthand how easily the aftershocks of the battle tore the earth apart; the power was beyond their comprehension.
Lily was the oldest here, but what she had just witnessed shattered her worldview, and fear filled her face.
Dilu felt the slight warmth emanating from the pendant on his chest—the Galaxy Star. He glanced at his terrified friends, then at the battered Gaia, and at Chen Feng, who hovered in the air, whose strength was unfathomable but whose attitude also made him uneasy.
The immense pressure, the fear of the unknown, and the longing for an ordinary life instantly overwhelmed any possible heroic fantasies he might have had.
"Gaia!" Dilu suddenly raised his head and ripped off the Galaxy Star pendant from his chest, clutching it tightly in his hand.
"Brother Chen Feng is right! We're just ordinary people! I... I don't want to go through this again! This thing is too dangerous! We don't want to carry it anymore, and we don't want to take any more risks with you! This is simply something we can't afford!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dilu, as if trying to get rid of a hot potato, forcefully swung his arm and threw the Galaxy Star, which was shimmering with mysterious light, toward Gaia!
"Dilu!" Gaia's synthesized voice carried obvious surprise and a hint of barely perceptible panic.
His massive body instinctively reached out to catch the incoming Milky Way star.
However, just as his mechanical fingers were about to touch the Galaxy Star, a violent desire suddenly rose in his heart, Gaia's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly withdrew his arm.
Apart from Apollo, all the other Star Gods who touched the Galaxy Star were corrupted by its powerful force, and he almost fell victim to it.
He could only watch helplessly as the gem, carrying both hope and destruction, traced a parabola, crossed the insurmountable boundary, and flew straight towards—
Chen Feng standing behind Gaia!
"Huh?!" Chen Feng, who was watching the show with his arms crossed and waiting for Gaia to handle the "domestic affairs", had no idea that this "cosmic-level pot" would hit him directly in such a simple and unadorned way.
"Be careful!" Angel Yan hurriedly reminded Chen Feng. Although she didn't know how terrifying the power of the Galaxy Star was, she knew it was no ordinary being just by looking at Gaia's desperate attempt to avoid it.
If Chen Feng loses control, there's no one here who can stop him.
Chen Feng's relaxed smile froze instantly, but his body's instinctive reaction was faster than his thoughts.
hum!
A layer of extremely condensed amber light, barely perceptible to the naked eye, instantly covered his palm—it was the unconscious, instinctive protection of the power that safeguards one's destiny.
pat.
The galactic star, radiating a soft light and containing boundless power, landed precisely and gently in Chen Feng's palm, which was covered with protective energy.
The anticipated energy surges and power devouring... nothing happened.
The Milky Way Star lay quietly in Chen Feng's hand, its light steady and docile, like an ordinary luminous pearl.
That thin protective force seemed to perfectly isolate it from the rejection reaction of "impure minds" in the outside world. Or rather, Chen Feng's existence itself, on some level, met the conditions for "possessing" it.
The passageway fell into a deathly silence.
Gaia remained frozen in place, its scarlet electronic eyes fixed on the gem in Chen Feng's hand, looking at Chen Feng with some concern.
"Chen Feng, are you alright?" Angel Yan swallowed hard, looking at Chen Feng who had suddenly stopped moving, and became worried. Could something really have happened to him?
"I, I..." Chen Feng began to speak, his whole body trembling, like a wild dog about to go berserk!
