I saw a huge crack appeared on the original barrier, and it was still spreading around.
When the Barton alien saw this scene, his body trembled suddenly and his expression showed horror.
It would be a big deal if this barrier broke! The aftermath of the explosion inside had not yet dissipated, and would directly affect the entire earth and even the solar system.
They also have trouble getting away.
"This... General! What's going on?!"
"Cracked?! How could it be cracked?!"
"Am I going to die?! I don't want to die yet!!!"
The other Bartonians immediately had sad expressions on their faces, looking desperate.
At this moment, Cabno was no longer as calm as before, and his face was also full of fear.
However, just as the barrier shattered, the explosion inside seemed to be absorbed by something, quickly forming a vortex and absorbing it.
In less than a moment, nothing was left, no radiation or rays were left, everything disappeared quickly.
The Barton people finally saw the situation inside clearly at this moment, and everyone had a stunned expression on their face.
Cabno's face was filled with disbelief, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Impossible?! Absolutely impossible! How could you be okay!!!"
That's right, Artemisia appeared before them and was standing there alive.
Not only was Artemisia not injured at all, there wasn't even a scratch on her armor.
The roulette-like wings behind her absorbed all the energy from the explosion.
“Crack—crash—!!!”
As Artemisia absorbed the explosion and residual matter, the barrier collapsed and shattered under her sword.
"A bomb with the power of a neutron star is just average."
"Our company can have as much of this stuff as you want."
"Don't even mention blowing up my armor. Even our training room can't be destroyed."
Artemisia shrugged, raised her sword and walked towards the other party.
"But you guys are really ruthless. You built this kind of bomb into the soldiers' armor! Are you thinking that if you can't beat them, you'll just pull them to self-destruct?!"
Artemisia glanced at the few people who were protecting the others and wearing the armor developed by their own people, the Bartons, and quickly saw the secret inside the armor.
After hearing Artemisia's words, the armored Bartonians felt a chill on their backs.
They never imagined that there was such a bomb buried in their armor.
However, before they had the chance to seek explanation from the top leaders of Barton Star, Artemisia had already taken action.
She killed all the Barton people present as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
They kept killing their way underground into the base, and only returned to the ground after killing all the Bartons.
Standing on the pile of corpses, Artemisia clapped her hands.
"After get off work, let's go buy some ice cream to reward ourselves."
After muttering something in a low voice, he spread his wings behind him and flew out of the island.
Chapter 278 Otaku Culture, Prejudice
Time soon came to evening.
It was already time for school to be over.
In the painting room, after the rustling sound of the last brush stroke on the paper stopped, the tense face of the girl with twin blond ponytails sitting in front of the drawing board finally relaxed.
She looked at the lifelike portrait she had drawn on the drawing paper, and a look of joy appeared on her delicate and pretty face.
"Alright! Lin Yuejun!"
"Come over and see how it is."
Ying Lili greeted Lin Yue who was sitting by the window.
"Snapped!"
Following Eriri's greeting, a dull sound of a book closing was heard.
"Row."
Lin Yue nodded, put the book away, and walked to Ying Lili.
During the lunch break, Lin Yue became Ying Lili's model.
However, the lunch break time was not enough for Eriri to finish the painting.
So the two of them agreed to go back to the painting studio after school in the afternoon to continue completing the portrait.
Now, an hour has passed since school was over, which is just in time for the after-school club activities to end.
Lin Yue stood next to Ying Lili, and Ying Lili quickly stood up and made room for Lin Yue.
When Lin Yue approached, Ying Lili leaned towards Lin Yue involuntarily, and her thoughts shifted from the portrait to Lin Yue.
Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Lin Yue's profile with a slightly foolish expression.
This guy is so handsome no matter how you look at him!
No matter how lifelike my portrait is, it will never be as good as the real person!
Ying Lili muttered to herself.
As Lin Yue got closer and closer, she could smell the faint masculine scent on him, which made her cheeks turn slightly red and her breathing quicken.
"Not bad, it's obviously much better than the last time you drew it."
"It seems like you've made a lot of progress, Eriri."
Lin Yue nodded and praised Ying Lili.
However, when he turned around, he saw that the girl was not looking at his work, but was looking at him with a slightly obsessed expression; and he didn't know when she got closer and closer to him.
When Ying Lili saw Lin Yue turning around, she was suddenly startled. After quickly coming to her senses, she quietly distanced herself from Lin Yue.
"Uh-huh."
"Hehe! This kind of thing is only natural!"
Ying Lili raised her head slightly with pride and returned to her tsundere look.
"Haha, Eriri-san is really confident!"
Looking at Ying Lili, who was both tsundere and somewhat arrogant, Lin Yue smiled slightly.
"So, Eriri-san is so good at painting, are you planning to develop in this field in the future?"
"Drawing artist? Or painter? Or cartoonist?"
Geek!
When Lin Yue said this, Ying Lili on the side suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
Especially the painter and cartoonist that Lin Yue mentioned at the end made her heart beat faster.
The first part was fine?! Why are painters and cartoonists mentioned later?!
Did he find out that I am...?!
Ying Lili thought with horror.
No! Impossible! This is not possible yet. I am probably just too sensitive.
Ying Lili immediately dispelled her suspicions.
She felt that she was overthinking. Lin Yue couldn't possibly know that she was an artist, and a book artist at that.
Ying Lili calmed herself down and said calmly:
“Painting is just a hobby, and I don’t plan to make it my career.”
Ying Lili clasped her arms across her chest, tilted her head back, and glanced at Lin Yue with one eye open and one eye closed.
"Besides, don't painters usually need to be otakus who understand the second dimension? I don't understand these things."
Eriri quickly distanced herself from any relationship with the 2D otaku and established herself as a person who knew nothing about the 2D world.
When Lin Yue saw this, the corner of her eyes twitched.
If he hadn't seen through her long ago, he would have almost believed the words of this tsundere girl with twin ponytails.
You know, this tsundere loser is actually a total homebody.
It can be said that she is the one who understands the two-dimensional culture the best in the entire class.
Even Kitagawa Umi can't compare to her.
"I think Eriri, you are too prejudiced against the 2D otaku culture!"
Lin Yue didn't expose her on the spot. Since she wanted to pretend, he just went along with what she said.
"bias?!"
"this......"
When Ying Lili heard Lin Yue's words, her heart skipped a beat and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"of course."
"I think liking things like the ACG world is just a personal interest and hobby, and there is no need to look at it with tinted glasses."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and said calmly.
"There are so many people on the earth, and each place has its own cultural characteristics. From countries to communities and cities, there are differences."
"In reality, there can't be a mainstream culture that everyone agrees on, so it's reasonable for other distinctive cultures to exist."
"The culture of the 2D otaku is also a characteristic of this country. Just look at Akihabara and you will understand."
"So there's no need to be prejudiced. As long as the other party is not committing any crime, there's no need to say anything more."

"Back to the painter itself, in this country, the profession of painter is actually quite popular."
Lin Yue looked at Ying Lili and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"With Eriri's level, it's more than enough."
Lin Yue's words made Ying Lili's heart tremble slightly, and her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Yue in surprise.
What surprised her was that Lin Yue was not the kind of person who hated or was opposed to the 2D otaku culture.
This is a huge good thing for her.
In fact, she was very worried at the beginning. If one day she revealed that she was actually a super homebody, how would she face Lin Yue?
If the other person is the kind of person she met when she was a child who hates the two-dimensional otaku culture, what should she do and how should she get along with him?
Especially now she has a special liking and fantasy for Lin Yue.
Now hearing Lin Yue say this, she felt much more relieved.
"In other words, Lin Yuejun doesn't hate these two-dimensional otaku cultures?!"
With a hint of hesitation, Eriri asked a tentative question in order to further confirm her thoughts.
“Why do you hate it?”
"Have you forgotten that I discussed many things about anime and comics with Kaimeng before?"
"Come to think of it, I am also a fan."
Lin Yue shrugged and said calmly.
Lin Yue could understand that Ying Lili asked this to confirm her attitude. After all, this blonde with twin ponytails had indeed experienced some things in the past that caused her to disguise herself.
In the original work, when Eriri was a child, she discussed otaku topics with Enyasu and was isolated and ridiculed by everyone.
From then on, Eriri kept her distance from Yi Anlun, stopped talking to each other, and disguised her love for the two-dimensional world.
In today's world, Eriri does not know and Enya Ryouya does not exist, and she will not experience the events in the original work.
