In another shelter, the same panic and fear were spreading.
People watched as the Star Alliance warships continually took damage and saw weapon platforms around Earth's outer perimeter explode, feeling as if doom could descend upon them at any moment, the extinction seemed inevitable.
In the corner of the shelter, a few girls wrapped in cloaks were sitting together, their beautiful faces marred by worried expressions. They were members of the globally famous girl group BBY, who, in this crisis, had no special privileges and were staying in the underground shelter like everyone else.
Their cat ears and tails were quite conspicuous, so each of them wore a cloak to cover these obvious features. Right now, with everyone in panic, no one bothered about others, so they did not attract any attention among the crowd.
"Lina, what should we do?" asked a girl with a round, adorable face, clearly scared to the brink of tears.
The beautiful girl sitting beside her, who looked somewhat Eurasian, spoke up vigorously, "No matter what, I absolutely won't fall into the hands of the Teizene people again. If they come to Earth, I will kill myself."
The adorable round-faced girl grew even more frightened and clung to the resolute girl: "Taiya, don't die."
Lina, the long-legged lady at the center of the group and the one referred to by the round-faced girl, looked around at the distraught crowd and said, "Now is not the time for us to give up."
A pretty girl with peach-colored long hair and a busty figure, Yalu, asked somewhat sadly, "But what can we really do? I wish we had joined the Universe Army like Walnut and Bell, at least we could be of some help then."
Lina reached out, grasping her sister's hand, her expression calm and reassuring, and said, "Believe me, we can do a lot."
The round-faced little girl Xiaomi tilted her head and asked, "But what can we do besides sing and dance?"
Lina smiled, as refreshing as a sweet-scented breeze of spring, "Then let's sing. At least on Earth, song has the power to move hearts; our voices are our weapons."
The tallest member of the group, who resembled a supermodel, Xia Ke, nodded and said, "Yes, if we are warriors, then we are warriors of song. Now, in this war, let's bring out our weapons!"
Lina glanced around, every girl's face now wearing a new expression. They had all been lost and trembling under the terrifying oppression of the Teizene people, deprived of their freedom and raised only to be sold as commodities. But now, they had been reborn on a new planet, warmly welcomed and even turned into icons for many. Earth was their new home, even warmer than Feiju Star.
They absolutely didn't want such a beautiful place to be trampled by the Teizene!
The smallest and most adorable Xiaomi, who had been the most frightened, was now the first to stand up, her little frame trembling slightly, whether from excitement or fear was unclear. Xiaomi stood up and slowly moved to the center of the crowd.
"Wanting to carry on living, wanting to carry on living,
Praying this world exists forever.
Guided by constellations spanning light-years,
We gaze and love at close range by our fingertips."
Another girl, Xia Ke, followed and continued the lyrics.
"Wanting to carry on living, with no retreat left,
Let me wither and decay in this instant.
Before the world sees my true face,
I will never sleep in the starry sea."
Lina and the other girls walked up, forming a triangular dance formation, and some in the crowd stared blankly, but when the seven girls' cloaks fell to the ground, exclamations arose.
"Really, how can such beautiful people exist!"
As Lina and the others performed their songs and dances in the cramped confines of the shelter, the previously fearful audience couldn't help but focus on these seven beauties, crafted by heaven with countless ingenuities, their beauty capable of traversing thousands of light-years across the Galaxy, their voices sincere and most touching.
Even with the girls' gentle and lovely voices, everyone could hear the resolve in their singing; this was their way of supporting the warriors of the Universe Army fighting on the front lines, their voices were their weapons.
Just a minute and a half later, Bai Zhongqi received a video from Nan Ma.
"Your Majesty, I've found something interesting," Nan Ma said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about the war, instead focusing on something else.
Bai Zhongqi typically wouldn't concern himself with things outside the war, but when he saw the seven BBY girls singing earnestly in the shelter before a panic-stricken crowd, watching people's expressions change from panic to joy and determination, he understood Nan Ma's point.
"What do you want to do?" Bai Zhongqi asked.
Nan Ma replied with a relaxed smile, "Let them sing, more heroically, leave it to me, I can make the whole world see."
Bai Zhongqi didn't hesitate, responding succinctly, "Go ahead."
