Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"That's natural. This planet has been invaded by the star's core, and only by merging with the company can it receive subsequent protection."

"All that everyone has to do is contribute their own strength and work for the company. I think this is good for everyone."

She crossed her arms, turned around, and looked at the black, unidentified object that Cocolia was dragging in her hands:

“I understand that with the help of the Nameless Guest, you think this world has broken free from the influence of the Star Core, but is that really the case?”

"The cold wave has subsided, but what about the Rift? Even now, Rift creatures will still emerge on this planet."

"Honestly, I have great respect for the nameless passengers from the Star Train."

Toppa said seriously:

"After all, in this galaxy, they are heroes who are willing to take risks to seal dangerous star cores for unfamiliar worlds."

"They didn't even think about the reward or the cost before going to a planet; they just wanted to save as many people as possible. This sense of righteousness deserves the respect of all forces in the galaxy."

Behind them, two figures bypassed Cocolia and came to Toppa.

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your recognition, but that is not a reason for you to make Ariello accept an unequal contract."

“No need to wait, Miss Topa.” Cocolia took two steps forward, staring at Topa’s face:

"Your colleagues are unable to come and help."

"Hmm?" Topa seemed somewhat surprised.

“Ms. Cocolia, did you know I was gathering them?”

“What else?” Cocolia’s voice was utterly flat.

"Unfortunately, they are already asleep. The fact that these two nameless guests have come to you means that all your colleagues have been wiped out."

"..."

Toppa stared silently at the feather-like cloud floating in Danheng's hand, and said helplessly:

"I see... It seems you're determined to capture me."

"No, I have no intention of treating you as a war criminal."

Cocolia's gaze remained indifferent:

"After all, simply arresting you won't have much effect on the entire Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"So...Ms. Cocolia, what are you planning to do?" Topa blinked.

“I would like you to assess the achievements of the people of Beloborg.” Cocolia tossed down the unidentified black object she was holding.

“I have read your letter word by word and I feel deep sympathy for your childhood experiences.”

"It is precisely because your hometown has experienced a calamity similar to that of this planet that I can understand your perspective on the issue and the stance you have chosen."

"It is precisely because of this empathy that I still believe we can reach a consensus and resolve the issue through peaceful means."

"Peace?" Toppa turned his head and glanced at the flower-shaped Feathered Dust in Dan Heng's hand:

"You subdued my colleague, is this considered a peaceful way to do it...?"

“They just took a nap.” Cocolia’s voice remained calm.

“If we hadn’t done that, we would probably be at each other’s throats by now, and any further conversations would have been much more difficult.”

Chapter 393 Why are you looking at me?

"Haha... So I should be grateful to you, right, Ms. Cocolia?"

"You can have it."

"..."

"Since things have come to this point, I seem to have no power to refuse."

Toppa laughed:

"But I still want to warn you all that changing the decision made above is not an easy thing."

"Then let's go." Cocolia turned and left.

……

Tiny snowflakes landed on Toppa's shoulder.

At this point, she had been taken to the upper level.

Strolling through the forbidden zone, deeply rooted in the rift, she glanced at the Iron Guards clearing the way around her and said to Cocolia:

"This place is truly dilapidated... What on earth have you been doing here?"

Is there really something here?

Cocolia's voice was calm and even:

"Once you cross this road, you'll reach your destination."

The group hiked for a while longer.

During this time, Bronya arrived, and Yan was truly awake this time.

suddenly.

The scenery ahead changed, and warm lights began to shine through.

"This is...this place, we've never been here before!" March 7 exclaimed in surprise.

Bronya laughed:

"Of course, you just got back. You were busy participating in the Sun Festival celebrations, and..."

Anyway, let's keep going.

After passing through a huge steel tunnel, the group finally arrived at their destination.

This is a very spacious area, where a giant mech, as tall as a mountain, lies quietly, though it is now in pieces.

Many steel beams were erected around it, covering the entire body of the mecha.

It was none other than the creation engine that had participated in the previous battle.

But Arillow was not like the Black Tower space station; after the train crew left, the Father was sent for maintenance.

There was even a project personally overseen by Screw Gum.

But the creation engine... doesn't have such good conditions.

“March, Danheng, do you still remember that huge, shattered thing over there?” Bronya said.

"A creation engine...?" March 7th's eyes widened:

"So that's where it was parked. No wonder I've never seen it in Belleburg except for the fight before."

At this moment, Cocolia walked towards the crowd in front, who were the maintenance personnel of the Creation Engine.

Bronya, on the other hand, took on the role of communicating with Toppa:

“Miss Topa, I know you’ve done a lot of research before. I’d like to know if your materials contain any information about the Creation Engine?”

"..."

"Absolutely not."

Toppa gazed at the colossal figure nestled in the heart of the mountains and exclaimed in astonishment:

"So... I really find it unbelievable that such a massive project wasn't mentioned at all in the strategic investment department's research report."

“I might understand why.” Bronya took two steps forward, gazing at the tall, silently standing life form:

"The Creation Engine was built entirely by the people of Beloborg themselves, without the aid of any foreign technology."

"The first High Guardian, Alisa Rand, led this project. While the warriors fought valiantly on the front lines, the engineers worked day and night in the rear to design and build..."

Topa looked at Bronya curiously:

"So, the Creation Engine is a weapon of war entirely developed independently by the Beloborgs?"

"Yes, but not completely."

Bronya spoke up:

"Indeed, the Creation Engine was used in battle in its early days and made great contributions in the campaign against the Legion."

"But Alisa Rand's vision was longer than anyone else's. For a long time, the machine was codenamed 'Geological Modification Engineering Unit'."

"Its true mission is to help the people of Beloborg rebuild their home after driving out all enemies who attempt to harm the world, so that the world can return to its former glory."

"..." Toppa glanced at the creation engine and sighed:

"Um……"

"The concept of long-term development."

"Transcending time and life, that Ms. Rand was truly a great woman."

Bronya continued:

“We simply gathered the people of Belloberg together and told them that our hard-won freedom was once again under great threat.”

"If we want to preserve this freedom, we must take action and prove to those who are skeptical that we have the will and the ability to control our own destiny."

"Oh? Did you tell the people here the truth after all..." Topa seemed somewhat ashamed:

"That's really cruel to them."

Bronya sighed softly:

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't keep it a secret from everyone forever... After all, your colleagues are too flamboyant."

"It's my fault for not managing them well," Topa said helplessly.

Bronya looked at Topa:

"You've seen the results of the mobilization. The children of Belleburg have made their decision; they want to protect their home with their own hands."
