Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Cocolia glanced at them indifferently, her expression unmoved. "You have led the enemy to Beloberg's secret place. You can all be treated as traitors!"

"We failed in our defense of Beloberg, but you don't have to execute us."

"It doesn't matter... Your existence is completely insignificant in the next world. Don't worry, you will be reborn in another world."

The Silver Mane Lieutenants were shocked, and then they all stood in their places, holding their shields and guns, their postures became dejected, and their eyes under the helmets became more confused.

Looking at the indifferent Cocolia Rand in front of them, those bloodless and tearless eyes seemed to be completely different from the great guardian they had seen in the past.

After expressing her gratitude to Fan Yu for his help, Xiluwa turned to stare solemnly at the frozen Iron Guards, feeling puzzled. "These frozen ice sculptures, and the methods used to freeze them, are exactly the same as the frozen monsters we saw on the way here."

Fan Yu: "This is already very obvious. The source of her power, and the source of my power..."

That’s all I have to say.

Fan Yu slowly raised his right hand, and the ice crystals scattered on the ground from the Cocolia Ice Spear instantly boiled.

Chapter 74 "Star Core, Cold Wave, Rift"

Shiluwa: “?!”

"What are you..."

On the already calm creation platform, as bursts of white frost emerged from his right hand, the ice chips scattered on the ground boiled and gradually rose into the air, surrounding Fan Yu's palm like fragments.

At the same time, the suspended luminous object "star core" material behind Cocolia was like a resonating activated substance, blooming with deeper colors.

"The cold wave was not caused by monsters, nor was it a natural disaster." Fan Yu said calmly.

At this point, Shiluwa is not stupid.

The illusions they had on the way here were enough to explain something.

Thinking of the past figures of the city builders I saw on the road, perhaps what their ancestors experienced in the wind and snow was what they were experiencing now?

"But……"

Shiluwa looked at her old friend Cocolia in the field and said, "This is not the real reason why you stopped me from studying the star core, Cocolia."

Kokolia's face revealed a look of undisguised sneer. "You were the first to notice it, Landau. But no one believed you. And you still haven't forgotten your so-called reason. What's the point?"

Shiluwa turned to the core of the luminous object and said, "Cocolia, what do you want to do with that thing?"

For a brief moment, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Cocolia's eyes.

However, as she gradually merged with the star core, she could capture traces of wind and snow flowing throughout the Everwinter Ridge. In this ancient battlefield that merged with the Rift, except for a dozen figures on the platform, there was no sign of any living creature moving around, and the sense of urgency also subsided.

Cocolia asked back, "By now, with your brilliant brain, haven't you already guessed the outcome?"

Shiluwa: "What?"

Cocolia: "When monsters from outer space invaded Yalilo VI, the first Great Guardian, Alisa Rand, led the City Builders in battle and struck a deal with the Star Core.

From this point on, the star core entered an unstable state, and a cold wave swept across the entire surface of Yalilo VI. Most of the monsters were transformed into these statues in the wind and snow.

Without her needing to indicate the direction with her eyes, Shiluwa knew that Kokolia was referring to the figures frozen in ice in front of the platform stairs.

Perhaps because of her former friendship with Shiluwa, Kokolia also showed a touch of nostalgia at this final moment: "When we were in school, we all knew that history teachers liked to talk about the story - the original Great Guardian led the city builders to build the [Beloberg] Fortress. It was the only city unaffected by the cold wave, and it was also the last civilization left on our planet.

You know that, don’t you?

Shiluwa: “…”

She had no way to refute Cocolia's words.

Alisa Rand established [Beloberg] and continued the civilization of the planet. She was called "the one who leads miracles" until the later [Great Guardian]!

But in real history, and the scenes before our eyes, we will not be told the relationship between the first great guardian and the star core.

This can also be seen from the confusion of the city builders of the Shadow of the Past. At this moment, the confused expressions on the faces of the Silver Mane Iron Guards who were attacked by their respected guardians were exactly the same as those of the phantoms of the old city builders.

"For this reason, we must ensure that the civilization of Yalilo VI continues!" Cocolia continued.

Xiluwa turned his gaze to the star core behind Cocolia. Through this trip to Yongdong Ridge, he learned about Cocolia's anomalies and some information about the rift monsters that his brother occasionally revealed when he came back.

At this moment, putting all the information together, Shiluwa suddenly understood everything.

"In addition to causing cold waves, the characteristics of the star core also have something new... Historical texts record that the rift also began 700 years ago. Does the so-called continuation you mentioned rely on this?" asked Xiluwa.

Cocolia praised, "As expected of you, Lando, once known as the Silver Mane Guard's most powerful brain."

Xiluwa frowned. "I had some suspicions about the abnormal expansion of the Rift before, but only now can I confirm it. Cocolia, those Iron Guards, those wandering in the wilderness, are they also your victims?"

Fan Yu added, "There are also residents in the lower areas that were blocked and swallowed up by the Rift before they could escape."

Hearing what the two said, Kokolia couldn't help laughing: "This is not a trial meeting.

Landau, I am merely offering an answer to my former classmates before welcoming you to the "new world." This is my goodwill as a friend, and you will all become a part of it.

As soon as the words fell——

Cocolia pressed the ice spear into the ground with one hand and pointed the other at Shiluwa.

The atmosphere was affected by the two [Ice Fronts], and the speed of wind and snow gathered together. In an instant, it condensed into an ice cone with only a sharp blade in front of Cocolia, and stabbed directly towards Shiluwa.

Almost at the same time, Shiluwa tried to throw out a mechanical device.

When the icicles struck, a clear arc of electricity surrounded them, slowing the entire attack. Sylva had enough time to run to Fan Yu's side.

Fan Yu: "?"

Shiluwa: "Can we trust each other temporarily? I don't have much power to deal with Cocolia. However, if I help you deal with this old classmate, I should be able to be of some use later."

She jokingly recounted the pre-war transaction method.

Fan Yu: "I roughly understand the connection between her and the star core, and the thing you mentioned..."

Xiluwa didn't hide anything and frankly stated her guess: "According to the records of those banned historical documents, the star core appeared at the same time as the rift.

Cold wave is just one of the power traits.

When I tried to study the core of the star, Cocolia immediately stopped me. She probably had already understood its other functions before that.

I simply said—

Cocolia's motivation comes from the predictions of previous generations in Krippleburg about the future of [Beloberg].

Many scholars have concluded that without new habitable areas, Beloberg Fortress is doomed to be swallowed up by the Rift in the future and meet its demise.

The solution Cocolia is seeking is probably to find the connection between the star core and the rift, so that all the residents of Beloberg can be swallowed by the rift and become shadows of the old times..."

Fan Yu thought of the ghost girl he met in the lower district and the phantoms on the road: "Ghost?"

Shiluwa: "No... those can only be called the residue of fusion with the Rift!"

Chapter 75 "Crazy" Cocolia

The two people's conversation did not lower their voices.

The faces of the Silver Mane Lieutenant and the Iron Guards who heard the words showed a moved look.

"Lord Cocolia, do you want all of us to be swallowed by the Rift?" The eyes of the Silvermane Iron Guards were filled with confusion.

If the previous ruthless attack on the Great Guardian, who made no distinction between friend and foe, was merely shock and disappointment, perhaps some people also thought that since they were now prisoners, being executed as soldiers was not bad...but now Shiluwa's words made them completely confused.

They, the Silver Mane Iron Guard, naturally knew what the Shadows of the Old Ones were. Some of them had even seen some famous ancient figures with their own eyes when they were guarding the Iron Guard restricted area.

While the city's residents might not understand, the Silvermane Guard, along with the Grand Guardian, certainly knew the consequences of being devoured by the Rift. It definitely wasn't about preserving one's self after death!

"Being devoured? No, that's a kind of rebirth. In the destined future, only this method can maintain continuity.

When all life on Beloberg enters the new world... the Star Core will lead us to rebuild Yalilo VI's civilization and revive it in the new world!" Cocolia's lips curled up slightly, her purple eyes flashing with fanaticism.

Her appearance and words made the Silver Mane Guards look at her as if she were a completely crazy woman.

Cocolia seemed to be completely unaware, immersed in her own cause of creating a new world. She waved the ice spear in her hand, and the ice cone in the air that was blocked by Shiluwa increased its power and rushed towards the two of them.

An ice cone as long as one meter made a crackling sound as it condensed in the air, freezing the surroundings and increasing the temperature, reducing the body's vitality.

Cocolia wanted to kill Shiluwa and Fanyu with this shot!

But Fan Yu, who was standing in place, had a hot red light slowly emerging from his palm that was conspicuous in the wind and snow.

Facing the extremely cold ice cone in front of him, he clenched his fist and released steam like sparks, and punched down at the tip of the ice cone.

Snap!

The moment the heavy punch was delivered, the surface of the ice cone was covered with extreme cold and flames, automatically producing a 'freezing' and 'melting' reaction. Neither of them retreated, forming a red and white pure energy color.

However, for the ice cone, it is a branch that requires Cocolia to exert force remotely, while the fire fist swung by Fanyu is a force that can continue to replenish temperature at all times.

The white frost lasted for less than three breaths before it was covered by the scorching fire element on Fan Yu's fist. A cloud of white smoke hissed out from the tip of the ice cone, and it gradually melted into pools of hot stains at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Kokolia instinctively thought of something, her face filled with alarm. "Just like those minions of destruction in Alisa Rand's records... Shiluwa, what did you find?"

Shiluwa; “…”

Facing the madness in Cocolia's eyes, she no longer knew how to evaluate this former classmate. Compared to the power displayed by the person next to her, what Cocolia was doing was more in line with those monsters from outer space.

However, as the happy times of the past emerged from her mind, Shiluwa's eyes still couldn't hide a kind of dissuasion: "You can also stop, Cocolia. As long as we work together to find a solution, the so-called doomsday may not come. You don't have to bear all the pressure alone!"

Fan Yu raised his eyebrows: "This woman's mind is probably out of control. She can't hear you."

Shiluwa did not refute his statement. In fact, she knew better than anyone the difference between the Cocolia she knew and the Cocolia in front of her now.

The overall influence of the flickering star core made Shiluwa very suspicious that the drastic change in Cocolia's temperament came from some of its influence.

But - this substance that brings cold waves and affects the appearance of rifts, does it have consciousness?

"It's meaningless now, Lando. I wanted to wait a while before explaining the new world to Bronya." Cocolia said in a deep voice.

Shiluwa was startled: "What?"

"But this is no longer possible." Cocolia stared at Fan Yu with her eyes fixed on him. A frenzied rage flashed in her purple pupils. "It's you who forced me to sacrifice Bronya as well!"

Fan Yu expressionlessly took Bronya's saber and said, "With this vision of taking everyone with you, you are no longer qualified to be a Great Guardian. Today, you will fall under this saber."

Cocolia's eyes darkened: "That weapon..."

Whoosh!

After Fan Yu understood the woman's purpose, he had lost interest in watching her go crazy.

He used the resonance of wind elements gained from Bronya's harmony to move through the wind and snow more quickly, achieving harmony with the star core and dispelling the freezing effect of the cold wave on himself.

In the blink of an eye, the conspicuous coat on his body flashed like a shadow in the wind and snow, shortening the distance between himself and Cocolia, and the fiery crimson surrounding his palm had condensed.

Cocolia caught this scene and showed a look of contempt in her eyes.

In a state of synchronization with the star core, she could capture the flow of any part of the wind and snow in her mind. The opponent's attack method that was tried to be hidden during the movement was like a firefly in the dark night to her.

Cocolia reacted calmly, swinging the ice spear stuck on the ground and aiming it forward.

Fan Yu, who was in the storm, showed surprise in his eyes. He was very surprised by Cocolia's capture of the battle situation. He was interrupted by the ice spear while moving and stopped immediately.

But his arm inevitably collided with the ice spear held by Cocolia.

laugh!

The sound of a sharp ice spear cutting through an object was heard, followed by a hissing sound and a cloud of white smoke rising.

A broken mark appeared on Fan Yu's shoulder cuff, and the tip of the ice spear in Cocolia's hand was melted...

It seemed that neither of them gained an advantage.

Fan Yu praised: "You are worthy of the name of "Great Guardian"."

Cocolia looked at the tip of her spear without responding, silently manipulating the power brought by the star core to re-condense the melted ice spear.

But she forgot the rifle with a bayonet in Fan Yu's other hand. Inadvertently, Fan Yu raised his hand and pulled the trigger!
