Chapter 527: Headbutt (3)
Emergency evacuation.
Emergency evacuation in name, but in practice, it would mean no more than fleeing to the nearest city.
The next star, Nurpf, wasn’t far, and if they wanted, they could launch a headbutt in just minutes.
“Alright, let’s move.”
When Yeongwoo pointed out toward the space outside the cockpit, Earth stared at him in disbelief.
『Shouldn’t we at least give them some time to evacuate……?』
He was referring to Chiba and Tokyo.
Yeongwoo just shrugged, answering nonchalantly.
“Why? You want us to just sit here waiting around for dozens of minutes?”
『Even so…….』
“If that’s the case, they shouldn’t have let their approval ratings hit rock bottom in the first place. Space always pays you back in karma, doesn’t it?”
Then he added,
“And besides, I don’t think Tokyo or Chiba will get destroyed. When I smashed Golux, there wasn’t any collateral damage.”
『But this time you’re hitting the ocean. If the shield fails to absorb the impact, a massive tsunami could swallow Japan.』
“Ah… yeah, that could be bad.”
While Yeongwoo and Earth were talking, the old star Golux quietly rose from his seat.
The bastard was trying to sneak away before they left for the next star.
But then—
Whip!
A streak of silver hair shot out and coiled around Golux’s arm.
『…Ugh?』
『And just where do you think you’re going without permission?』
It was none other than Sun Moro.
Golux wore an expression of disbelief, but his voice came out unusually respectful.
『But surely… I’ve already done what I was supposed to. I pointed you to the next star, didn’t I…….』
After all, Golux hadn’t actually wronged anyone here.
He was just existing peacefully as a natural body—until he was suddenly assaulted with a headbutt and taken prisoner.
It was only natural he felt wronged.
But Moro wasn’t about to let him go.
『Done your part? You stay here until the second headbutt is complete.』
『Wh-why?』
『When this Nurpf complains, showing him your sorry state might help smooth things over.』
『…….』
To make matters worse, Yeongwoo chimed in.
“You’ll have to come back here anyway. Don’t bother tiring yourself out.”
『Come back? Why……?』
“I’ve got some business with the arms dealer who lives in this system.”
This was the official first business venture of Renaissance, the philanthropist.
For Golux, ignorant of that fact, it was a nightmare.
“Alright, let’s head out. They’ve had enough time.”
Yeongwoo gave the order, and Earth reluctantly stepped up to the navigation console, piloting the Earthship.
Rumble…!
A deep roar resonated outside the cockpit as the Earthship shifted, and soon the starry void outside was replaced with a holographic veil.
They had entered the relay sector for interstellar travel.
『We’re just going to ram in headfirst again, aren’t we?』
Earth asked, and Yeongwoo nodded.
“Of course. You think they’d let us if we asked? No one willingly takes a headbutt.”
『…True.』
“Don’t forget—we’re the protagonists. The path is ours to carve.”
『Being the protagonist doesn’t give you the right to bully others.』
Before Earth could finish scolding him, the relay sector outside flashed twice.
Two star systems were crossed in an instant.
And then, as the relay faded, the black of space returned.
Flash!
『There… that’s Nurpf.』
Even before Yeongwoo asked, Golux pointed it out.
|Rank Achieved: #9
「A planet-ship has acquired two or more collision scars.」
Apparently, there was even an achievement for stacking collision scars like Earth just had.
And to rank ninth meant—
“What the hell….”
Yeongwoo’s eyes widened, but then—
Earth’s entire body glowed white, system text blazing.
「|l||I- Earth’s Purpose is being Reassigned.」
“What?! Purpose reassignment?”
Yeongwoo blinked, looking to Moro, the highest-ranking being present, but even she had no idea.
Even Golux, the oldest star here, was baffled.
『Isn’t… isn’t this dangerous?』
Sensing doom, Golux backed away.
Then the cockpit filled with crushing energy, and Earth opened its mouth—
『Uwaaaahhh!』
—unleashing a pillar of light.
At the same time, system text flashed before Yeongwoo’s eyes:
「Purpose Reassignment Complete」
