Star Railway: The story of Kaffa being born with two babies at the start shocks her.

Upon entering the city, Jepard gave everyone a brief introduction.

"The last bastion?"

"Seven hundred years ago, a monster from outer space ignited this planet... (another short essay omitted)"

"Um... I have a feeling he's reciting a text."

March 7th looked at Danheng and whispered something.

"Compared to this, what about the stars and the sky?"

Dan Heng glanced calmly at the two people beside him who had already disappeared.

Qiong: "Beautiful trash? What a strange thing, it actually works."

"That was just a side benefit; the most important thing is that you get 5 points of Star Jade."

Before anyone knew it, Zhou Xingxing and Qiong had run to the nearby trash can and opened the lid...

"Hey! What are you two doing?! We're pioneers, not scavengers!"

On March 7th, he rushed over in a huff, grabbed the two men by the collar, and pulled them back into the group.

"I'm sorry, I'll do it again next time."

"..."

Jepard was ashamed when he saw this.

At this moment, I can no longer associate the person in front of me with the word "bad guy".

"Let's hurry and go see the High Guardian."

Jepard urged everyone to head towards Berryper Castle.

"Those rift creatures outside the city have been troubling you, haven't they?"

During the journey, Danheng began exchanging information with Jepard.

"Yes, that's right. You actually know this. It seems that you, coming from beyond the heavens, must possess quite a bit of information. I hope that after meeting the Great Guardian, I can ask for your opinions."

"no problem."

Danheng nodded; this was exactly what he wanted.

"This is Kripper Castle, the residence of the High Guardian, Lady Cocolia Land, who issues all major decisions in the city."

Jepard then led everyone inside.

The guards bowed and let him pass when they saw that it was Jepard.

"You can leave, Bronya, the visitors have arrived."

As soon as I entered the hall, I heard Cocolia's indifferent voice.

"Yes... Mother."

Bronya's tone was somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

Bronya glanced at the people who had entered and then left the hall.

"Guardian, I have brought four outsiders to pay my respects."

“The messenger has already told me, Jepard, you may also step down.”

"Yes, Lord Great Guardian."

Jepard bowed and left the hall.

Cocolia was left alone, silently watching the four of them.

"Welcome, visitors from beyond the heavens. I am Cocolia Rand, the Great Guardian of Beloborg."

"Don't you suspect our identities?"

Seeing Cocolia's calm expression, Qiong couldn't help but ask.

“It has been a long time since any visitors have graced this planet. Before the Legion arrived, we once had a glorious and prosperous civilization, so we have no doubt about your identities. Moreover, your attire is quite different from that of the people of Beloborg.”

Cocolia explained that since even Jepard knew about the outsiders from the beginning, there was no need to go into details.

“Our world was once connected to other worlds. Although the builders have not received any news from the stars for seven hundred years, I know of your existence.”

“Tell me your purpose, I’m listening.”

Cocolia waved her hand gently, signaling everyone to speak.

"We are here to explore this planet."

"Who knows this?"

March 7th rolled her eyes at Qiong.

"We came here for something called the Star Core."

Dan Heng said slowly.

"Star core?"

Upon hearing this name, Cocolia's eyes suddenly furrowed slightly.

However, she did not continue speaking, and continued to look at the crowd.

Danheng recounted the disaster in the star core in detail, and Cocolia nodded slightly after listening.

“You are right, and you have analyzed our situation very clearly. We have indeed suffered these disasters, but what do they have to do with you?”

Even if such a star core truly exists, I wouldn't naively believe that a group of people completely unrelated to this planet would go to great lengths and pay no price to help us.

Cocolia chuckled lightly, her face cold and stern, showing no joy at Danheng's words.

"..."

Danheng and March 7 both fell silent, not expecting Cocolia to have such an attitude, seemingly unwilling for anyone to interfere in the affairs of this planet.

In the midst of this slightly awkward silence, Stephen Chow spoke up.

"Lord Cocolia, the Great Guardian, your reaction is very reasonable and correct. If someone in this position were to trust a few outsiders so easily, Berlöberg would probably have perished long ago."

Stephen Chow smiled and looked up at Cocolia.

Cocolia didn't speak, she just stared coldly at Stephen Chow.

"We are pioneers, and pioneering is one of our purposes. There is no other reason than that we are destined to follow in the footsteps of the pioneering star god Archivist, traversing countless worlds in search of the truth of the universe."

And Yalilo-IV, the planet you are protecting, is one of our countless destinations.

However, due to the star's core, our path forward is blocked. Therefore, we are here not only to help you, but also to resolve our troubles so that we can continue our journey.

"Now that you mention it, I can understand your intentions. If the current situation is really related to the Star Core, can you really seal that thing called the Star Core?"

Cocolia nodded slightly and asked the others.

"Yes, we have the corresponding means."

Dan Heng nodded.

"In that case, your arrival is the hope of Beloborg for 700 years. I will do my best to assist you in finding the star core."

Seeing that Cocolia had agreed, March 7 breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's getting late, and you must all be tired. I'll arrange for you to rest at the best hotel in town..."

"No, please wait a moment, I have something else to say."

Stephen Chow interrupted Cocolia, which surprised everyone.

Cocolia has already promised to help everyone find the Star Core, so what else is there to say?

"I'd also like to tell you more specifically about the terrifying aspects of the star core."

Chapter 14 The Dangers of the Star Core

Cocolia frowned, not understanding what Stephen Chow was trying to do.

Why would he suddenly tell me all this? Did he discover something?

"The Star Core is a scourge spread by the Star God to the world, leaving behind nothing but destruction and ruin wherever it goes. For all the civilizations that have suffered greatly from it, the Star Core is a symbol of destruction."

"However, you probably already know all this, but what I want to say is that the terrifying thing about the star core is that it is not a mindless entity."

Upon hearing this, Cocolia tensed up.

Yes, I know this. Not only do I know it, but I have even made a deal with the Star Core.

"We have traveled to many worlds and have had a lot of dealings with star cores. Some star cores like to use their powerful force to achieve their goal of destruction directly. These are better, at least the people on the planet don't have to suffer."

Some star cores, however, enjoy manipulating people's hearts, luring in external enemies and repelling them to disguise their own intentions, then promising a false and beautiful future to bewitch people into believing they are right, and finally letting them watch their planet meet its end in utter despair and regret.

Regardless of the type of stellar core, without exception, under its influence, these planets are destined for destruction, becoming lifeless and desolate dead stars.

Stephen Chow watched calmly as Cocolia recounted her story.

She knew that a significant part of the reason why Cocolia made many seemingly irrational decisions was due to the seduction and influence of the Star Core.

If these words can make Cocolia question the Star Core, perhaps there will be a better outcome in the future.

"Manipulating people's hearts... luring in the enemy to repel them... promising the future..."

Cocolia's pupils contracted violently.

You can ignore what others say and treat it as a lie fabricated to obtain the star core.

But this is the only one...

Cocolia thought about it more and more and felt that this was exactly the same as what was happening in her own world.

The relentless attacks of the antimatter legion have devastated the planet, causing unimaginable damage to civilization.

The star core intervened and froze the world. Although it suppressed the antimatter legion, it also caused indelible damage to the planet.

Ultimately, the Star Core's solution was...destruction and rebirth...

If what these people say is true, then after destruction... can there be a new beginning...?

Cocolia covered her forehead and slumped weakly into the chair.

This is the first time I've ever questioned the star core.
