This villain is too popular.

Chapter 101: The Heavenly Dao's Exclusive Side Story

[In the real world, six months after the first season of Stellaris ended]

Since the first season of "Stars" ended, the show's popularity has skyrocketed, rapidly rising across 13 stations.

Because the protagonist, Chen Kong, goes from being cowardly at the beginning to helping the weak at all costs because of his kindness.

It was Heaven's Way that was strong from beginning to end, and its act of "burning" itself in the end for the sake of a "perfect ending".

They all left a deep impression on the audience.

Just when the audience thought that the production team of All Stars would only start building hype a few months before the second season premiered.

Unexpectedly, the production team dropped a bombshell six months before the second season premiered.

'The Star-Studded Side Story – "The Innate Strongest" – is coming soon!'

This was released along with the news of the side story.

There is also a special character poster.

Although the main figures in the poster are covered by black, only the outline of a small child and the snowy scenery behind him can be seen.

However, many people still noticed the numerous details on the poster and the title of the bonus episode.

I guessed who the protagonist of the side story was right away.

After all, among the current star characters.

There aren't many people who can be described as 'born strong'.

Heaven's will is undoubtedly right, and Dust Star can barely be considered one.

As for the mysterious masked man, the Doctor...
Although he is mysterious, he also has a certain level of popularity.

But it's clearly not worth having the production team create a special spin-off for him.

Based on this analysis, it is quite obvious who the protagonist of the poster is.

Without a doubt, the most popular contestant from the first season of All Stars is Tiandao Siming!
Just a week before the official release of the spin-off, the production team of All Stars released the complete poster.

It was a silver-haired child standing alone in the snow.

The blurred background makes the entire poster focus on the silver-haired child.

Although he was a child, his expression lacked any of the innocence and romance that one would expect at his age.

Instead, there was only a near-divine calmness and a kind of indifference that was hard to describe.

This innate and unique quality makes Tiandao in the poster, even though he is still young, stand out.

But it still made people feel his specialness and power.

[In the real world, the side story will air at 8 PM, at 13 stops.]

Amidst the excited anticipation of a large number of anime and manga fans.

The star-studded spin-off series, titled "The Born Strongest," has premiered!

The scene begins with the Ember Base in a snowy weather.

Snowflakes fell silently, covering the perimeter of the steel-built base.

'Little Heavenly Dao, what are you doing here all alone?'

Accompanied by the soft sound of footsteps on the snow, Yunmeng emerged from the underground core area of ​​the Ember and arrived at a certain step on the ground.

She held two steaming cups of coffee in her hands, and the beauty mark under her right eye was particularly noticeable in the snowy light.

'Because the world after a snowfall makes me feel more comfortable.'

Sitting on the steps, Tiandao accepted the still-steaming coffee that Yunmeng handed him.

He calmly gave his answer.

Upon hearing this, Yunmeng smiled and sat down next to him, stretching her long legs forward.

'Still not used to these eyes?'

'Ok'

As the voice of Heaven faded away.

The scene in the side story suddenly switched to the first-person perspective of the Heavenly Dao.

What one sees is a snow scene that appears monotonous and dull to most people.

In the Heavenly Dao's view, however, it presents a complex and dizzying scene, much like an abstract oil painting.

The colorful star energy in the air moved like living things within the vision of the Heavenly Dao.

Yunmeng was surrounded by a powerful aura of star energy, which caused her to disrupt the flow of energy around her with every breath.

This makes the star energy around the Heavenly Dao even more chaotic and vibrant, causing people to feel dizzy.

If Yunmeng alone is like this, imagine what it would be like if the scene before the Heavenly Dao were replaced with an underground base containing a large number of Star Children and Star Beast test subjects.

The audience in that dimension couldn't even imagine how dizzy the world before the Heavenly Dao would become.

No wonder he said that the snowy world made him feel more comfortable.

Who could bear to have a brightly colored abstract oil painting hanging in front of them every day?
Fortunately, Yunmeng seemed to be very clear about the situation of Heaven.

So she deliberately suppressed her star energy fluctuations.

He handed Tiandao a pair of special sunglasses.

Changing the subject, he asked, "Little Tiandao, your Star Beast Department teacher said you finished the entire Star Beast Encyclopedia in just three days. Is that true?"

'Um. ’

The answer from Heaven was quite bland.

It was as if this was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

He remained calm, but Yunmeng was anything but, exclaiming proudly, "Wow! Our little Tiandao is truly amazing!"

"After all, I've experienced firsthand how thick that book is. Even if you gave me three months, let alone three days, I'm not sure I could memorize it all."

'.'

Listen to Yunmeng's tone when praising a child.

Tiandao's eyes twitched incessantly, his ear tips turned slightly red, and his expression visibly became somewhat embarrassed.

It was obvious that they were not used to it at all.

When Yunmeng saw this, she not only didn't think about changing it, but instead smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons.

It's obvious they're deliberately making fun of the laws of nature.

Just as Yunmeng was about to say something...

A strange noise suddenly came from the coniferous forest in the distance.

[Alert! Star energy detected outside the base!]

Amidst the piercing alarm, a starfish-like creature with a head three meters tall stumbled out of the woods.

Its five tentacles were covered with wounds, and blue blood dripped onto the snow, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.

'A wounded deep-sea whipper.'

With just one glance, the Heavenly Dao discerned the other party's species and its precise name.

His confident tone made it clear that he had done more than just memorize the 'Encyclopedia of Star Beasts'.

Instead, they actually learned all the knowledge about 'star beast identification' inside.

Amidst a flurry of footsteps, Yunmeng raised her hand to stop the other peripheral members of the Ember Organization who had already run out with weapons.

He got up, ready to deal with this unlucky guy himself.

But before she could take any action...

The Heavenly Dao, however, also stood up.

"Sister Yun, leave it to me."

'OK. ’

Amidst the astonished gazes of the other organization members, the young Tiandao slowly walked towards the towering Deep Sea Whipper.

He gazed at the Heavenly Dao that was steadily approaching him.

'roar--!'

The Deep Sea Whipper suddenly let out an angry roar.

They were trying to use this to discourage him.

However, Heaven ignored it and continued walking towards it with an indifferent expression.

It was as if the Deep Sea Whipper that appeared in front of him was not a dangerous star beast at all.

It is a harmless little pet.

This is the inner peace and contempt of the Way of Heaven.

This made the Deep Sea Whipper feel both angry and intensely threatened.

And so, just as the Heavenly Dao approached the Deep Sea Whipper at a certain distance...

It made its move!
