The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 83 Eve
"Bronya, Seele, we've found the star core. Let's go to the surface and deal with it first." Star and March 7 said goodbye to the purple-haired scythe-wielding girl they had just met in the lower city.

"I'm going too! I want to see what kind of culprit has plagued our world for over seven hundred years!" Seele said through gritted teeth, carrying a giant scythe.

“We’re not just facing Star Cores now, Star Core Hunters are also very likely to make their move. They’re extremely dangerous. You’d better wait inside the city,” Xing said somewhat tactfully, without directly stating that their strength was somewhat lacking.

"What a joke! There's finally hope to end this damn cold wave and rift. What's a little danger?" Seele said nonchalantly. As long as the apocalypse can be ended, even the cost of her life is worth it.

“That’s right. The Star Core is the root cause of our seven hundred years of suffering. For both moral and logical reasons, we cannot sit idly by and watch you fight alone. You said that other forces are interfering and trying to stop you. We should do everything we can to help you, instead of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor,” Bronya said firmly.

Although she had only been in the Lower City for two short days, Bronya had already gotten a basic understanding of what the Lower City was like now.

Cocolia truly abandoned the lower city entirely, leaving them to fend for themselves, rather than doing so for the sake of better preservation.

She has abandoned the protection!
"Alright, let's go." Xing looked at the two of them and stopped trying to persuade them.

The four of them followed the path that Sambo had led them back to the upper city.

Bronya did not choose to question Cocolia. The location of the Star Core was already clear, and there was no need to waste time with her. The most urgent task now was to deal with the Star Core.

Once the star core is dealt with, Cocolia will naturally come to her senses, and we can take our time to consider how to treat her then.

……

Belloberg Rift Zone.

"Hey, you taciturn fellow, was that commotion you heard earlier caused by Walter fighting the Star Core? Is the Star Core that powerful?" Hilva asked Yinyue, looking at the crimson sky outside the city.

Judging by this momentum, no one in the history of Belloberg has ever been able to do this, no wonder they have been helpless against the Star Core for so long.

However, given how powerful the Star Core is, why has it never taken action itself, but instead has been slowly eroding their living space with cold waves and rifts?
"I said, at least give me some kind of response." Hiluva looked at Yinyue with dissatisfaction.

When Meng Huaifeng was not personally controlling the real game character, Yin Yue's actions were controlled by the mobile phone's artificial intelligence, and she would generally just silently follow the main group.

So he seemed dull and didn't say a word.

Meng Huaifeng was trapped by Silver Wolf. Besides learning hacking techniques, he would occasionally check the messages or try to get a sense of what was happening on Yin Yue's side.

Every action Meng Huaifeng takes will have data leaked out, and Silver Wolf is fully aware of this. However, Silver Wolf ignores it. Xing already knows the information he shouldn't know, and there's nothing else that he can't let Xing know.

Having opened up a new world, the train crew's strength has increased so much that even if Walter doesn't make a move, the other three together would have no power to resist the star core of this world. How could they possibly put pressure on the star?
Therefore, the Star Core Hunters must disperse the members of the pioneering team.

Silver Wolf's job was to hold Meng Huaifeng back. As long as he couldn't teleport over and fight alongside Xing, nothing else mattered.

The AI ​​outsourcing was cancelled, and Meng Huaifeng took personal control of Yinyue.

“That’s not a Star Core, it’s a Star Core Hunter. Let’s go,” Yin Yue suddenly said.

"Huh? So you can talk. Where are you going?" Hiluva looked at Yinyue in surprise.

"Meet with Xing, Bronya, and others on March 7th." Yinyue stepped out of the room, and Hilva hurriedly followed, carrying her electric guitar. ...

Iron guard restricted area.

Xing and his group went straight to the Silvermane Iron Guard's headquarters.

“Soldier, tell me, is Garrison Commander Jepard here?” Bronya asked the Silvermane Iron Guard on duty at the door.

"Commander Bronya, you're back? Commander Jepard has been looking for you for two days and two nights. You just returned to camp," the Silvermane Iron Guard said happily.

“Okay, I’ll go find him.” Bronya headed straight for the camp.

"Wait, Commander Bronya, they are... wanted criminals? Commander, hurry, I'll hold them off." Only then did the Silvermane Iron Guard notice the people behind Bronya. He immediately stepped forward to shield Bronya behind him, his spear firmly pointed at Star and March 7.

Bronya grabbed the Silvermane Iron Guard's weapon and said in a deep voice, "They are not wanted criminals, they are our saviors."

"But... it was the Great Guardian himself who gave the order..." the Silvermane Iron Guard asked, puzzled.

“Believe me, soldier, I vouch for you in Bronya Rand’s name. They are absolutely not wanted criminals trying to overthrow Belloberg. If anything goes wrong, I will take full responsibility.” Bronya’s eyes were incredibly sincere.

Over the years, Cocolia has issued numerous absurd orders, causing the Silvermane Guards to become increasingly resentful and their prestige to plummet.

On the contrary, Bronya always takes the lead in every battle, fighting on the front lines and maneuvering the battlefield with great skill. She has long earned everyone's respect and secured her position as commander.

After a moment's hesitation, the Silvermane Iron Guard chose to trust Bronya: "Yes, Commander Bronya. However, I must inform Commander Jepard first."

“Okay.” Bronya didn’t make things difficult for him and waited quietly in front of the camp.

Perhaps the High Warden had misunderstood; this wasn't the first or second time she'd made a wrong decision. The Silvermane Iron Guard thought to himself, then sent someone to inform Jepard.

Soon, Jepard walked out of the camp, his resolute face showing signs of fatigue, and his pupils were bloodshot.

Bronya kept it brief, informing Jepard of the existence of the Star Core and what they were about to do.

"Guardian, now, as the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard and the successor to the Great Guardian, I command you to gather all the Silvermane Iron Guards, except for the basic defensive forces that maintain the line of defense, and to follow me out of the city to defeat the Star Core and save this world from the brink of death!" Bronya looked at Jepard with unwavering eyes.

"Does the High Warden know about something this important? Mobilizing most of the Silvermane Iron Guards out of the city could lead to an unexpected situation, leaving Beloberg completely unable to resist," Jepard said gravely.

Their eyes met, and Jepard could clearly sense Bronya's determination, but he also understood that Bronya was probably doing this without Cocolia's authorization.

“I need to consult the High Warden.” Jepard took a deep breath.

“Mother… she is not to be trusted!” Bronya said through gritted teeth, the veins on her hand gripping the gun bulging.

Jepard's pupils suddenly contracted. He wouldn't believe anyone else who said that, including his sister. Only Bronya made him waver.
