“I am the demon star,” said the glowing energy.
Logan Bennett exclaimed, “You’re the meteor that hit me? You’re the one who brought me to this world?”
“Yes,” replied the demon star.
Logan Bennett immediately flew into a rage. “Why did you do this? Send me back, send me back to Earth!”
“There’s no way back,” said the demon star. “Bringing you to this world has already consumed most of my energy. Now, I am barely alive.”
“Why did you do this? Bastard, bastard.” Logan Bennett cried out in pain and anger. “On Earth, my sister needs my care, needs my protection.”
Logan Bennett kept cursing, while the demon star listened quietly, giving no response.
After a long while, Logan Bennett gradually calmed down and asked, “Why did you bring me to this world? By what right? Why me?”
The demon star said, “I brought you to this world by the will of my previous host.”
Logan Bennett said, “Who was your previous host? No, I don’t care who it was! What right did he have to bring me here?”
The demon star said, “Sorry, I don’t know. I don’t know who he was. I am just an energy lifeform. After leaving my host, I lost all my memories. So I no longer know who my previous host was.”
Logan Bennett was silent for a moment, suppressing his agitation, and forced himself to calm down again. “Then why did you all bring me to this other world? What do you want me to do? There must be a reason!”
“I don’t know either,” the demon star said after a moment of silence. “In my remaining consciousness, there seems to be a message—perhaps it is your mission in this world.”
“What?” asked Logan Bennett.
“Something like... destroy this world,” said the demon star.
At once, Logan Bennett’s body trembled violently.
Chapter 2: Peerless Beauties
The demon star’s tone was very calm, but the words it spoke were utterly shocking.
Destroy this world? Insane, its previous host must have been insane.
“Get lost, you lunatic,” Logan Bennett shouted angrily.
He had always had a strong sense of right and wrong since childhood, kind and just. He planned to kill that rich second-generation kid because he deserved it. Now someone was telling him that his mission in this world was to destroy it—if Logan Bennett didn’t spit blood in his face, it would be strange.
The demon star did not argue, remaining silently still.
After a moment, Logan Bennett asked, “Can you help me return to Earth? My sister really needs me.”
The demon star said, “I don’t know.”
Logan Bennett said, “What do you mean you don’t know? Either you can or you can’t.”
The demon star said, “I have only one instinct, and that is to devour all energy. I can make you extremely, extremely powerful.”
“You can make me powerful? How?” Logan Bennett asked.
The demon star said, “As long as you kill someone, I can devour their energy and turn it into your strength. The more you kill, the more I devour, and the stronger you become.”
Logan Bennett shuddered violently. Although the demon star’s tone was calm, he could hear the unspeakable evil in its words.
What devours energy directly? A black hole, devouring everything.
And in the novels he’d read, like Ren Woxing in “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,” there was an extremely evil technique called the Star Absorbing Method, which directly absorbed others’ internal energy.
But this demon star before him wanted to kill people and then devour their energy—this was a hundred times more evil than the Star Absorbing Method.
“I don’t need it. I just want to return to my sister’s side,” Logan Bennett said. “I don’t want to be your host. Get away from me.”
“You’ll need it soon,” said the demon star. “My energy is already very weak, so I need to sleep now. Goodbye.”
Then, the light faded, and the entire dream plunged into darkness.
……
Soon, Logan Bennett woke up and began to recall that strange dream. For a moment, he didn’t know if it was real or just a dream. He couldn’t help but call out in his heart, “Demon star, demon star, come out.”
However, there was no response at all. Was it really just a dream?
After waking up, Logan Bennett couldn’t fall asleep again, and his mind gradually calmed down.
He had disappeared—what would his sister on Earth do? Her face had already been disfigured, she was already afraid to interact with anyone, and he was her only family. Now that he was gone, how could she go on living?
At this thought, Logan Bennett’s heart twisted in agony.
No, I can’t fall into despair. I have to pull myself together.
I have to go back. I have to find any way to go back. I already swore to the meteor shower that I would take care of and protect you for a lifetime.
Even though I have crossed into another world now, I must still keep my promise. Even though I don’t know how to return, no matter what, I must find a way back. I must take care of you for a lifetime.
Logan Bennett knelt on the ground, facing the moon in the sky, and said word by word, “Sister, I swear to the twin moons, no matter what it takes, I will return to your side. I will take care of you for a lifetime. If I break this vow, may heaven and earth destroy me.”
