Boom!
A burst of white light.
The devastating shockwave spread outwards, ripping the stone slabs off the square, shattering the windows of Cripper Castle, and reducing the ice surface of the fountain to dust.
Sand and stones flew everywhere, debris filled the sky, and smoke billowed.
Cocolia's ears were ringing, and she couldn't hear anything.
She knelt on the ground, her hands braced against the broken stone slabs. Her palms were cut by sharp pebbles, and blood flowed, but she felt no pain. Her eyes were fixed on the huge, deep pit in the smoke.
In the center of the administrative district's square, a massive crater several meters deep had been blasted out. Debris was still sliding down the edges, and smoke rose from the bottom of the crater, as if something was burning.
A human figure could be vaguely seen at the edge of the deep pit.
Gray three-strand braids, silver-white dress.
The figure that had just been standing in the deep pit was now lying motionless on the edge of the pit.
"Bronya... Bronya!"
Cocolia scrambled to her feet and stumbled toward that direction. Her legs were trembling, and after a few steps she fell, her knee hitting the gravel and bleeding. She got up again and kept running.
She ran to the edge of the pit, knelt down, and reached out to touch the figure lying on the ground.
Bronya's dress was torn in several places, her face was covered in ash, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. But her chest was still rising and falling.
She is still alive.
Cocolia pulled her daughter up from the edge of the pit and held her in her arms.
Her hands were covered in blood, indistinguishable between her own and her daughter's. Her tears dripped onto Bronya's dusty face, leaving streaks on her pale skin.
"Bronya... Bronya..."
All she could do was call her name, over and over again. Her mind was completely blank.
She is just a mother.
Holding his injured daughter, he knelt in the ruins, calling her name over and over again.
Bronya's eyelids twitched.
She opened her eyes, her pupils somewhat unfocused, and it took her a long time to focus on Cocolia's face.
"Mother...."
Her voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.
"Why... are you crying...?"
Cocolia was speechless. She just hugged her daughter tighter, as if afraid she would disappear.
Bronya's lips curved into a slight smile.
"I'm fine..."
She tried to raise her hand to wipe away her mother's tears, but her hand fell limply halfway down.
"It just hurts a little..."
Her eyes closed again.
"Bronya? Bronya!"
Cocolia's voice trembled. She looked down at her daughter in her arms, at her tightly closed eyes, and at the faint smile that hadn't yet faded from her lips.
"Don't sleep... Bronya... listen to Mom..."
Her voice shattered into several pieces.
"You haven't seen the seedlings grow on the snowfield... You haven't seen the wall built... You haven't seen the snowstorm in Belberg completely dissipate..."
Her tears fell drop by drop onto Bronya's face.
"You haven't seen... how proud Mom is of you...."
Bronya did not answer.
The wind blew from the snowfield, carrying the scent of earth. It was a scent unseen for seven hundred years, the scent of dawn.
But at this moment, the square is filled only with ruins, rubble, and the cries of mothers.
In the distance, towards the snowfield.
People are still busy.
Jepard was directing the Iron Guards to move materials, Shiluva was adjusting the parameters of the heater, Pera was recording the survival rate of the seedlings, Oleg was allocating manpower for the ground fire, and Schwarz was dispatching the automated soldiers.
Children are running around, the elderly are making lunch, and the trash cans are lined up to help carry them.
No one knows what happened in the administrative district.
No one knew that a beam of white light had just descended from the sky.
No one knew that their new Great Guardian was lying in the ruins, his fate unknown.
Only the wind.
The wind blew from the snowfield, carrying the scent of earth, blowing over ruins, over deep pits, and over Cocolia's tear-streaked face.
Then, the wind stopped, and the sky darkened.
The antimatter legion has arrived.
Chapter 71 The most common mistake is thinking you won't make mistakes.
The Star Core smiled the moment the antimatter legion arrived.
It floated above a group of illusory soldiers, its laughter sharp and piercing, carrying seven hundred years of pent-up resentment and pleasure.
"Hahaha! Uncle, it's such a pity you didn't get to see this!"
It tumbled in the air, its light flickering, seven hundred years of suppression, seven hundred years of imprisonment, seven hundred years of darkness.
The will to preserve it locked it deep within the furnace, day after day, year after year, and it thought it would never be able to break free.
But then that "uncle" arrived.
That "uncle" bearing the mark of the will to protect, that person personally watched over by the Amber King. He personally brought it out from the heart of the furnace, personally placed it on his shoulder, and personally led it on a wild run across the snowfield.
Uncle didn't know what he was doing.
But the star core knows.
It knew it from the beginning.
It urged Lin Si to control the creation engine and jump, trying to guide him to use more of its energy. It tried to trick Bronya into using its energy as much as Lin Si did, but the woman didn't fall for it.
but it does not matter.
It's enough that Uncle was fooled.
As long as it continues to release energy in accordance with the will of Lin Si, Bronya, or Cocolia, Star Howl will always sense the energy of the Star Core and then rush over.
As for why the energy can only be released through the will of the three of them?
That's because this "uncle" has the affirmation of the will to protect. Bronya and Cocolia are the great guardians of this city, and the will to protect them from the great guardians of all generations will also recognize them.
As long as they release energy according to their will, there are not many restrictions.
Now, Xingxiao has arrived.
Although it hadn't expected Xingxiao to arrive so quickly, it had originally planned to keep fooling Lin Si for a few more days.
But since she's here, it means the suppression of the storage has failed.
"Men, charge! Destroy this place!"
The sound of the star core echoed in the sky, carrying a frenzied excitement.
"Let me vent my anger! Just thinking about my uncle coming back and seeing this mess makes me want to laugh!"
The ethereal soldiers of the antimatter legion roared, and a black tide poured down from the sky, surging onto every inch of Beloborg's land.
They trampled the seedlings that had just been planted in the soil, knocked over the walls that were under construction, and tore apart the laid-out geothermal heaters.
The Rift Monster appeared out of nowhere, crawling out of the void and destroying everything in sight.
On the snowfield, Jepard was the first to realize that something was wrong.
The Rift Monster appeared out of nowhere next to the wall under construction, its yellow and black crystals emerging from the frozen ground and growing to half a person's height in a matter of seconds.
Several volunteers were caught off guard and their arms were cut by the sharp spikes of the crystals. Blood dripped onto the black soil, a shocking sight.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Jepard shouted, drawing his barrier and standing between the crowd and the Rift Monster.
"Iron Guards, form ranks! Protect the civilians first!"
Hilva ran over, a wrench in her hand. She glanced at Jepard, then at the surging rift monsters, and gritted her teeth.
"Little Jie Jie, be careful!"
Jepard smiled, his gaze fixed firmly on the rift monsters.
