This villain is too popular.

Chapter 277 Happiness Doesn't Come for Free
Treating the gods as 'challengers' is an example of the characters appearing in the two seasons and the theatrical version of Stars.

Whether it was the General Ennet, or the Calamity-level powerhouses Yu Qianxia, ​​Liu Yao, Mei Ling, and others.

Although they were all stronger than the Heavenly Dao in absolute strength, they could not create the kind of 'power' that the Heavenly Dao was currently displaying, which was almost overflowing from the screen.

The reason for this is not that they lack real strength, but that they don't know how to 'package' themselves.

As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

From the moment the Heavenly Dao established his persona as a 'born strongman,' he knew very well what he wanted.

In the world of anime series like Stellaris, screen time is roughly equivalent to popularity, and popularity is everything!
Because if it weren't for 'popularity', how could the Heavenly Dao, with its principle of 'reversal of all phenomena', possibly freeze it?

He did this simply to create a stark contrast with the situation on Chen Kong's side.

They both went to participate in the 'fireworks show', were both attacked by the Starfrost Frost Faction members on the way, were both imprisoned in the subspace, and were both frozen.
But the results on both sides were completely different.

However, the current theatrical version hasn't shown any scenes of Dust and Sora yet, so viewers in the anime/manga world are temporarily unaware of these details.

After they finished watching Tiandao's 'performance', and then saw Chen Kong and the others frozen and helpless, watching their companions being taken away, they were stunned.

They would then criticize Chen Kong and the others for their weakness while praising the power of the Heavenly Dao.

In this way, some of their affection for the character will transfer to the Heavenly Dao.

By putting down one and praising another, this is the purpose of Heaven's actions, and also the "good price" he can get after "selling" Chen Kong.

Now it's time for him to bring this 'comparison' to a magnificent close.

Within the frost and snow storm of the fusion realm.

Upon hearing Tiandao's arrogant words, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Shuangyuan and Shuanghang brothers.

The next second, the Ice Queen slowly opened her arms.

Countless translucent ice crystal spears condensed from the icy mist and hovered around the queen.

The ice spears here are as thick as an adult's arm, and the cold air emanating from their tips can quickly freeze the surrounding ice mist into tiny ice crystals, leaving no doubt about the power of these ice spears when they fall.

This was the ultimate move that Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang unleashed after exhausting half of their star energy: the Frost God's Spear of Ten Thousand Calamities.

Its power is so great that even an ordinary level three star envoy would be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture if he was merely grazed by this spear.

However, faced with this overwhelming 'eternal tribulation', Heaven simply raised its hand calmly.

The next second, a special Rubik's Cube floated in the palm of the Heavenly Dao.

Each face of the Rubik's Cube is engraved with intricate star patterns, and a faint black mist will emanate from it when it is turned.

Although the Shuang brothers did not know what the Rubik's Cube was, just looking at it made their Star Source instinctively tremble.

"Do it!"

Without giving the Heavenly Dao a chance to act, Shuang Yuan let out a low shout and raised his hand to press down in the direction of the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, hundreds of ice crystal spears shot towards the Heavenly Dao like a torrential rain!

Gazing at the countless 'ice spears' filling the sky, Tiandao smiled faintly, and the Rubik's Cube in his palm suddenly stopped spinning.

"Perfect spell - Purgatory Rashomon".

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rubik's Cube in Tiandao's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling black light, and a huge, pitch-black door slowly emerged from the black light.

As Rashomon slowly opened, a large amount of blood mist emanated from it.

The moment these blood mists landed, they solidified the snow beneath the Heavenly Dao's feet into a terrifying mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

In the crimson sea of ​​blood, there were broken swords stuck in the ground, unknown limbs and severed arms, and continuous wails coming from who-knows-where.

This horrifying hellish scene contrasts sharply with the pristine white snow and ice beside it, creating an eerie yet incredibly awe-inspiring spectacle. 'Mountains of corpses and seas of blood vs. the Snow Queen—the visual impact is off the charts!'

'Rashomon technique is so cool! I feel like there's probably something hidden behind that door.'

'Lao Tian truly lives up to the production team's reputation; every time he makes a move, the budget is always maxed out.'

Just after the Heavenly Dao unleashed its perfect technique, the movie screen seemed to be swallowed up by the 'Purgatory Rashomon', and a silent transition occurred.

When the screen lit up again, they found themselves in front of an unnamed building in the City of Scarlet Mist.

The main entrance of the building.

Danica, who was on some kind of secret mission with Dust Star, seemed to sense something and suddenly tilted her head to look in the direction of Deep Blue City.

"What's wrong, Danica?"

Seeing Danica's unusual behavior, Chenxing looked down and asked.

After thinking for a moment, Danica replied, "Mr. Tendou seems to have encountered some trouble."

"trouble?"

Chen Xing frowned, his expression instantly turning serious.

Noticing her expression, Danica immediately waved her hand and added.

"It's alright, Sister Chenxing, because I can hear the voices coming from the 'words' of Master Tiandao. They're mocking, laughing at the enemy's overestimation of their abilities~"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing's brows slowly relaxed, and then she glanced at Danica with great surprise.

She knew Danica was special, but she never expected her to be so special that she could sense the situation of the Heavenly Dao across such a great distance.

No wonder the Heavenly Dao wanted her to bring Danica with her on missions, saying that she could help him.

At first, Chen Xing thought that Tian Dao was using this as an excuse to ask him to help take care of the child.

But now it seems I underestimated this little green-headed creature.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing couldn't help but stroke Danica's green hair and said, "Danica, could you send a message to the Heavenly Dao and ask him if he needs any help?"

Danica thought for a moment and then said, "If you just want to pass on a message to Mr. Tendou, that's not difficult, but I don't usually do that."

"why?"

Upon hearing this, Danica gave Chen Xing a strange look and said matter-of-factly, "Because Mr. Tiandao will most likely ignore me, and Danica doesn't want Mr. Tiandao to think that Danica is a troublesome person."

What were clearly innocent and childlike words, Chenxing felt at this moment that Danica was implying something.

It was a veiled criticism that she was always causing trouble for the heavens.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing gave Danica a meaningful look and said, "Danica is really sensible."

Danica shook her head and said in a seemingly innocent tone, "Sister Chenxing, Danica isn't being sensible; she's just thinking of Mr. Tiandao."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing fell silent for a moment.

Because her intuition told her that this green-headed brat was subtly alluding to her.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any reason to refute it.

After all, she firmly believed that some things could only be obtained by striving for them.

Happiness doesn't just fall into her lap for nothing.

After Chenxing and Danica finished their brief conversation, the scene returned to Tiandao.
