Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

.....................

"Ah? Isn't this boy named Qiong your companion? Why do you want me to stab him to death?"

"I've told you so many times, you're not stabbing him to death! You're just stabbing him through the chest!"

"Then what's the difference between this and stabbing him to death?"

"The difference is, if you stab him to death directly, then he will really die; but if I just stab him in the chest, I have a way to give my partner new strength. This way, he can better face future adventures."

"I see! You really are very supportive of your companions!"

TWO THOUNDS YEARS LATER

"No! What's going on? Come out and explain! Why can't I stab this lance into his chest even though I tried my best? Explain to me what's going on."

"Ah, this...blame it on me, blame it on me. Wait, let me pull someone in."

"Don't change the subject!" Cocolia was really tired. She had clearly followed his instructions and brought an experience to his companions. But now she was being treated as a riddle man. Just when she wanted to complain about something else, a message popped up in the chat group in her mind, which was transformed by the power of consciousness.

Kevin has joined the group chat

(Note: The "saving the world" here is not the form in the final chapter, but just the inscription of "saving the world")

"Ah?" Cocolia asked in confusion.

After learning the whole story, Kevin said, "COOL! You really know how to play. So now you want me to help you stab that lance into Qiong's chest, right?"

"Hmm. After all, even if we only consider the physical strength of a fusion warrior, Cocolia's current strength is indeed not enough. If it were you instead of Qiong who controlled these bodies, I am absolutely sure that this planet would be parted in the middle by you."

"Tsk, you little black guy... ahem, you led me astray. Anyway, Cocolia. I will help you and stab the lance into his chest."

"Oh, thank you. To be honest, I'm almost losing confidence because of his terrifying physical fitness. How can someone have such a strong physical fitness? The sharpness of this lance is not low, not to mention my own strength and the power of the "Star Core". But it hurts, it's ridiculous if it doesn't pierce his chest!"

"It can be seen that you are really broken."

"But before we start the plan, Chen Ye, I have to ask you something."

"Just ask."

"Can you guarantee the safety of everyone present?"

"Of course."

"No matter how bad the situation is, can you protect it in your current state?"

"Yes."

"Okay, Cocolia, get ready to stab!"

"receive."

.....................

Everyone looked at Qiong with a pierced chest in disbelief. Everyone ran towards him anxiously, and Qiong felt that he had come to a strange space.

There is no ground here, but somehow he can stand here. There is no sky here, but he can see the stars. He looked around and came to a conclusion - "Am I in the universe?"

He didn't know why he came to this place, nor how to get out. After trying various things, he found that he had no way to contact anyone. For this reason, he had to check his front, back, left, and right. Finally, he chose to go forward, hoping to get out by chance.

As he was moving forward, he found that various memories kept emerging around him, about the guardians of the past, about Beloberg, and about Cocolia and her daughter. Qiong didn't know why he could see these memories, but he knew that he had come to a very remarkable place.

After he walked unremittingly for a long time, the unchanging scenery finally changed. He saw a huge vortex in front of him, similar to a tornado, and in front of the vortex there was a red light standing, and the red light went straight into the sky.

Seeing this, Qiong could not help but run forward quickly. When he came to the red light, he was surprised to find that it was the gun that pierced his chest! Although the color was different, and it was also a little smaller than the gun that pierced his chest (Note: The lance that Cocolia used to pierce Qiong's chest was covered with a layer of ice, not frost. So its size was a little bigger than the lance itself). And next to the lance, there was a little girl.

Qiong looked at the little girl. Although he didn't know her, he somehow knew that this was the will of the great guardians of Beloberg. Before Qiong could say anything, the will of the great guardians of all generations spoke first: This city is wailing..."

After listening to the will of the great guardians of all generations, Qiong couldn't help but ask, "Then don't you regret choosing Coconia as the next great guardian?"

"Oh, actually... not really."

"why?"

"Because we are different from the rest of the world, or rather, we are different from leaders of other times. We did not leave much wealth to our descendants. The only thing we left to our descendants was a deeper despair with each generation. And the despair will become deeper and deeper until no one can bear it. So we never regretted it. After all, we believe that what we did is no better than her."

"Um……"

"Pioneer, you are just a passer-by, but you are determined to shoulder the fate of the entire world. So, step forward and see if your will to "preserve" is strong enough. Strong enough to attract His attention."

Hearing this, Qiong stepped forward resolutely and grasped the lance handle. When he grasped the lance handle for the first time, countless words emerged in his mind -

“It has nothing to do with the future of mankind, and it has nothing to do with the ideals of the masses. This time, I am putting my life into the barrel of a gun, just to save one person!”

"It's not about choice, it's not about life and death, at this moment - the ideals of all people converge into a single ambition. Come, take everything I carry! All the beasts of Brahma, impose it on this body; the devil of karma enters the abyss, draw the sword to save the world. Step forward, this is - the inscription of "saving the world"!"

These words also made Qiong temporarily leave the lance and marvel at the brilliant life of the man named Kevin who was living in his consciousness; at the same time, he was also happy that he had won his recognition. But he knew that now, none of this mattered.

The important thing is to pick up the lance in front of you and then - save this endangered world.

"Ohhhhhhhh!" With a long roar towards the sky, Qiong successfully picked up the heavy lance, and Krippo, who was building a wall far away at the boundary of the universe, also sensed this incomparably powerful consciousness of "preservation"! He couldn't help but cast his eyes over here.

And at the moment when Qiong drew out his lance, he in reality had already opened his eyes. Then, with a beautiful somersault, he landed steadily on the huge palm of the Creation Engine.

Then he gave his companions a reassuring look, raised his lance, pointed at Cocolia and said, "Friend or foe, choose!"
