At the summit of Everwinter Ridge, Bronya paced back and forth, and everyone could see her unease.
Although she knew she would eventually face this scene, Bronya still couldn't help but feel nervous when it actually happened.
"Why don't you step aside, Bronya? Let us deal with Cocolia."
Seeing Bronya's dilemma, Qiong said something.
"No... I have already deceived my mother, and at least in this last moment, I want to show her my stance."
Bronya took a deep breath to calm herself down, then shook her head slightly at Qiong.
"Don't worry, Bronya, I'm here for you. I have a lot of old scores with Cocolia, and I'll face them with you."
Hiluva smiled and walked over to Bronya to comfort her.
"Thank you, Shiluva."
Hearing what Hilva said, Bronya felt somewhat relieved.
"They're coming."
Dan Heng was the first to notice the figure in the distant snowstorm and spoke to the others.
In less than half a minute, Cocolia arrived on the platform.
"Bronya!"
Cocolia called out to Bronya with concern when she saw her, then paused in surprise.
Not only Bronya was there, but also Hilva, and neither of them had any ropes on them, so they didn't look like they had been kidnapped at all.
Having served as the Great Guardian for so many years, Cocolia was no fool; she instantly understood what was going on.
"So that's what it is..."
Cocolia lowered her head, her tone gradually turning somber.
“Mother... I’m sorry, this time, I won’t stand by your side.”
Bronya looked directly into Cocolia's eyes, her gaze resolute.
"Cocolia, you've been making mistakes for so many years, are you going to continue making them?"
Hiluva stepped forward, glaring defiantly at Cocolia and rebuking her.
“You don’t understand anything at all... If this is your choice, fine, I understand.”
Cocolia scanned her surroundings with a frosty expression, then fixed her gaze on the Silvermane Iron Guard behind her.
Stephen Chow stopped trying to hide it and revealed his true colors.
“Mother, in the lower wards, in those corners you overlooked, I saw the light in the eyes of those who struggled to survive in dire circumstances. Even in such conditions, many people still had hope in their hearts.”
“I understand everything now, Mother, so this time, I will take on the responsibility of guardianship and rescue you from that quagmire!”
Bronya spoke loudly, as if trying to infuse her voice into Cocolia's heart.
"Enough! You are incapable of breaking free from the shackles of your minds. It's a pity, Bronya... you won't live to see this wonderful new world. In that case, you can only become the foundation stones for its formation!"
After Cocolia finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and frost power gathered in her hands.
“It is impossible to establish the new without destroying the old.”
"I, in my capacity as the Great Guardian, command you to rise—the Creation Engine!"
Cocolia shouted, and the frost in her hand condensed into an ice lance, pointing it towards the sky.
However, after a long while, there was no sound, and the atmosphere became very awkward.
"Ah."
Beside him, Stephen Chow crossed his arms and chuckled dismissively.
"What's going on? Why isn't the Creation Engine obeying my commands!"
Cocolia was shocked and could hardly understand the situation before her.
"Should I call you Cocolia, or Star Core, or both? Do you want to know what's going on?"
With a smile, Stephen Chow slowly walked forward, mimicking Cocolia's movements, and gathered fire power in his hands.
The flames then transformed into a lance, which landed in Stephen Chow's hand.
"Impossible... How is this possible! How could an outsider like you obtain this power!"
Cocolia looked incredulous. The lance in Stephen Chow's hand was actually the same one used by the first Great Guardian, but that one was clearly in her own hands.
"Excuse me for interrupting, it's not you, it's all of you."
Qiong walked to Zhou Xingxing's side, waved her hand, and an identical lance appeared in her hand.
"Damn ants... So what? You... will eventually be wiped out!"
Cocolia's voice changed, and the ice on her body began to condense, eventually transforming into the Mother of Illusion.
"What?! That guy can transform?!"
March 7th looked shocked.
"It's probably the power of the star core. Cocolia has already unleashed it to its fullest extent. Don't be careless."
Dan Heng's expression was solemn. At this moment, everyone was facing a star core capable of destroying a planet.
"What's this? The fight hasn't started yet? Looks like I've arrived just in time."
Seele's voice came from behind.
Everyone turned around and saw Seele rushing towards the platform, followed by Swallow, Jepard, and the Earthfire cadres.
"Fluctuations in the star core have been detected, and the threat index has risen to 99.987%."
A flash of red light appeared in Schwarzkopf's eyes.
"So, you all betrayed me..."
Cocolia's voice came through, filled with coldness.
“If you, Great Guardian, still decide to pin this crime on me when you regain your senses, I, Jepard, will have no objections.”
Jepard stared at Cocolia and said calmly.
“If so many people choose to betray you, then you should think about whether there’s something wrong with you,” Stephen Chow said calmly.
"Shut up! You'll all be buried with the cold wave!"
Cocolia roared and raised her hand to the sky, where a huge rock star materialized and then crashed down on the group.
"We'll just tough it out on this mere celestial phenomenon."
Stephen Chow looked disdainful, then grabbed Qiong's hand.
What is meant by "the movement of the heavens and the myriad phenomena"?
Qiong was a little confused, but she still followed Zhou Xingxing, and the two of them planted their lances into the ground.
In an instant, the protective force formed a semi-circular energy shield that enveloped everyone.
The rock star crashed down, colliding violently with the energy shield and generating a large number of sparks.
"Resist tenaciously!"
Cocolia's voice grew impatient; she hadn't expected that even such power couldn't defeat this group.
"Take a good look at who's putting up such a stubborn resistance!"
As soon as Zhou Xingxing finished speaking, a laser beam shot out from the eyes of the Creation Engine and shot towards Cocolia.
Cocolia quickly conjured countless ice crystals to block it.
"You think you can defeat me just because you have a creation engine? You're dreaming!"
Cocolia flew into the air, waved her hands, and several huge ice sculptures fell from the sky and stuck into the ground.
The ice sculptures began to gleam with a cold light, and then countless icicles shot towards the crowd.
However, the protective shield created by Zhou Xingxing and Qiong working together truly demonstrated its protective power, remaining sturdy even after withstanding the rock star and countless ice crystals.
However, outside the protective shield, the visibility of the group in the blizzard was so poor that they could barely see Cocolia a few meters away.
"We need to destroy the ice sculptures she summoned."
Qiong frowned slightly, as she could no longer see the ice sculpture and Cocolia's location.
"The Creation Engine is as big as a fist, so just smash it."
Qiong nodded upon hearing what Stephen Chow said.
The Creation Engine raised its fist and slammed it down on the spot where Cocolia was.
The earth trembled, accompanied by a shattering sound; it seemed the ice sculpture had been broken, but the blizzard showed no signs of abating anytime soon.
Amidst the wind and snow, several beams of icy blue light flashed, then shot into the protective shield like arrows.
Cocolia changed her position to attack several times in a row, and she had a natural advantage in the blizzard.
After enduring so many attacks, the protective shield finally gave way.
"We're in a bit of a passive position; the visibility is too low."
As everyone gathered together, Qiong couldn't help but speak.
"Infrared detection mode has been activated. Star core fluctuations have been detected at the 3 o'clock position, at a distance of 19 meters."
"Swarovski said suddenly."
"Oh right, I almost forgot that Schwarz is a robot, so visibility shouldn't have much of an impact on him."
March 7th suddenly realized.
“Very good, Swaro. Predict Cocolia’s movements and we’re ready to launch the Creation Engine in advance.”
"Understood. Based on the trajectory, there is an 87.31% probability that the next attack from the star core will be launched from a distance of 17 meters at the 9 o'clock position."
"enough!"
Qiong immediately raised the creation engine and punched hard in the direction that Schwarz had predicted.
With a roar and a scream, everyone knew they had succeeded.
