Chapter 121 The decisive battle begins
Although it was thrilling, after we finally got out of that section where the attack was the most intense, everyone looked at each other and thought, hey, this is not a problem.
"It seems that our cooperation is quite tacit!" Xiluwa was obviously in a good mood. Along the way, she had fully felt the reliability of these partners.
After passing through the group of monsters in the rift, the group came to the Echo Corridor. Perhaps in response to this name, they soon found the afterimages of Cocolia and Bronya here.
It was a non-physical PPT with audio that survived the rift.
Seeing that the target had passed by here not long ago, they followed the afterimages all the way.
The further we walked, the deeper we went into the snowfield, and the more we could hear the two afterimages and their conversation which was full of information.
For example, Cocolia's current and mental state, her brainwashing-like persuasion and explanation to Bronya, and the fact that everyone could clearly hear that Cocolia's "establishing a new world" was an unrealistic pie in the sky.
After listening to it again, Cheng An felt that the pie was not very well drawn. After all, for her, the statement that "a new world will be born from the ruins" was not attractive at all.
Because even if someone promises you, "This world is hopeless, so stop protecting it and start a better one," wouldn't that be a loss? Would the people in the original world just give up? What's the point of creating a new world like this?
This is simply a scam.
Easy entry, hard exit. The first step of destruction is easy, but how difficult is the subsequent reconstruction and rebirth? If this is not a scam, what is it? Just eating the cake painted by the star core, even if you can get a temporary spiritual fullness, sooner or later your body will collapse because you don’t eat anything substantial.
Besides, everyone is dead anyway, so who cares if you didn't keep your promise? The seller of the urn promised everyone that there would be zero negative reviews after the user experience, right?
When Seele heard these words, she was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't understand the high-sounding reasons, nor did she understand the beliefs and pursuits that transcended the flesh and the world, but she knew that Bronya was following a madman step by step into the rift and the snowfield, and she promised to do her best to save her.
So she held on to the belief that "No matter what kind of ghost or weird thing you are, don't try to block our way", and drove forward forcefully.
Ignoring Cocolia's speech about how she was gradually becoming one with the Star Core, everyone realized that her will had probably been influenced by the Star Core due to the accumulated influence over time.
Otherwise, normally speaking, a person who can become the great guardian, the supreme leader of a planet, would not make such outrageous remarks after knowing the truth about the cold wave.
If you say that what humans did in the past was wrong, that is understandable, but if you say that the star core is so great, and even describe the act of sealing the star core as a "vain attempt", that is unjustifiable.
As people's lives were increasingly affected, they were placed second to the power of the star core. From that moment on, whether voluntarily or not, Cocolia was no longer worthy of the title of "Great Guardian".
Cheng An had always understood this point, and hearing such an irrational speech again along the way only strengthened her belief that "this person cannot be kept".
Cocolia, it would be more suitable for her to be a weekly boss.
As the afterimage of Cocolia was defeated by everyone's joint efforts, there was only a staircase leading to the road. Behind it was the Eternal Winter Ridge, where the final battle would take place.
Xiluwa has followed everyone all the way here, what is there that she doesn't understand?
She once fantasized that maybe she could bring back the good friend she once remembered, but now it seems that hope is slim.
The old friend in her memory has changed, from spirit to belief, to indifference and strangeness, all of which make her unable to see any trace of the past. The good friend who once played and studied with her may have died when the star core eroded her mind.
Xiluwa sighed and put away her melancholy. The people around her were still sighing about their journeys, but the young people were obviously more confident and were not afraid even when facing the great guardian.
"Let's go." Xing finally made the decision and was the first to step onto the stairs in front of him.
Several people walked through the iron gate and entered the snowy plains of Yongdong Ridge one by one. The place was filled with virtual soldiers sealed in ice, world-ripping monsters and unidentified guys, adding a hint of the underworld.
The few of them walked quickly into the depths of the snowfield until they saw a platform appear in front of them. On it were Cocolia, Bronya, and a star core that exuded a strange aura.
Xiluwa stared with wide eyes at the thing she had spent so much effort to study. She finally saw the source of the disaster with her own eyes.
But when she lowered her eyes, she saw Cocolia again.
At this point, she didn't even know what to say first. Maybe it should be an accusation, maybe it should be a reminisce, or maybe it should be a simple greeting.
But she didn't say all this, because Seele and Bronya next to her obviously had more to say. They were talking about their agreement, and Cocolia gave the final choice to Bronya.
She asked her adopted daughter whether she wanted to accept the power and promise of the star core.
The result is self-evident. Bronya is a good girl, a good soldier, and will be an excellent guardian in the future.
She said: "Our ancestors built this city with their own hands, and struggled to keep civilization going in the swaying wind and snow. Even if this world is destined to fall apart, the road to the end should be paved by human hands."
"Instead of leaving your fate to this seed of disaster!"
She said: "You want to trample on humanity and play the role of judge and god at the same time - I can't allow this!"
Cocolia saw her daughter's choice and felt a little sorry. "You can't break through the shackles of your thoughts, you know? You should be the 'mother' of the new world."
Cheng An was immersed in experiencing this emotional outburst from behind. In the last second she was still sighing that Bronya was well said, but in the present second she was already feeling numb about Cocolia's unremitting efforts to make the future a better place.
All of this is just empty talk. They have been making promises for so long and they are still using the same rhetoric. Even if this star core is brainwashing, it is very unoriginal.
Then, the ground began to shake. Cocolia was obviously ready to solve the problem violently. She said, "You will be the cornerstone of the new world!" She raised her hand and summoned the creation engine.
The huge robot gradually revealed its appearance in the wind and snow, its figure almost blocking out the sky and the sun. A nearsighted person standing on its shoulders probably wouldn't be able to see the enemies on the ground.
But when it comes to dismantling large machines, Cheng An is not without experience. But Xing should have awakened the power of protection here now, so she can't just start removing the arms and legs of the robot.
We have to wait for the right time.
She couldn't just start a fire like that, so she restrained her violent style of attack somewhat uncomfortably, ensuring that no one would get hurt within a limited range.
Hurry up and awaken the power of preservation, Xing! She couldn't help but shout in her heart, if she didn't awaken, the creation engine would fall apart!
