Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

"That is the indelible stupidity and cowardice entrenched in the depths of human nature. Abandon them and untie the shackles that bind you! The star core will lead mankind to evolution, and He will..."

The will continued to invade Bronya's mind, and just when it was about to touch the bottom line, the ice in Bronya's pocket emitted a light.

Purple energy quickly enveloped Bronya, directly severing the connection of her will that had not yet been successful.

"Bronya! You..."

Kokolia exclaimed.

The sudden sense of relief made Bronya unable to keep her balance and she staggered and fell backwards, but what greeted her was not the cold and hard ground, but a warm and soft embrace.

"Are you okay, Bronya?"

Xier looked at the girl lying in her arms and asked with concern.

"Xi'er? You're finally here!"

Bronya slowly stood up and looked at the people behind her.

Kevin was sitting alone on an ice chair (the ice chair was also teleported over), and everyone was standing behind him, like bodyguards.

Kevin saw Cocolia's shocked expression and mocked her in a calm tone.

"Are you surprised? Cocolia, long time no see."

Chapter 56 You have no choice

"It's you!"

Cocolia was shocked. The sudden appearance of everyone gave Star Core no warning at all. No, she ignored the fact that the connection between Star Core and her had been severed.

Cocolia kept calling out to the star core in her heart, but received no response.

Just when she was getting anxious, Kevin's voice came, as if he could see through her thoughts.

"Still trying to contact the star core?"

Kevin sat on the ice chair with his legs crossed, and calmly expressed what Cocolia was thinking at the moment.

He has completely blocked the connection between Cocolia and the star core.

"Did you do it?"

Cocolia stared at Kevin for a long time. She didn't know when she was hit, nor did she know what method blocked her connection with the star core.

[If there is something wrong with your body, it's Mobius' fault. 】

The voice in my head said in the tone of Qianjie.

Kevin supported his chin with his hand and nodded twice slowly, which confirmed Cocolia's previous guess.

"I originally wanted to kill you directly, but I have changed my mind now."

"what are you up to?"

Cocolia looked at Kevin with great vigilance, waiting for Kevin's next move.

Snapped--

Kevin raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Cocolia was puzzled by his operation, but the next moment, the original feeling of blockage disappeared instantly, and the sound of the star core rang in her ears frantically.

"Cocolia, I *&……%"

A large amount of junk information flooded into Cocolia's mind, catching her off guard. She could only cover her head and try her best to adapt.

"I...I know..."

Cocolia responded to the voice of the star core.

Xing He told her that this group of people came because of the white-haired man. He used his spatial ability to bring everyone here. He kept reminding her, but she did not respond.

Cocolia also remembered that this man in Klipperburg used the power of space to come and go freely. His casual attack posed a great threat to her. If it weren't for the power of the star core...

She looked up and questioned Kevin.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Among these outsiders, she had a vague idea of ​​the strength of the other ones, but the abilities displayed by this man were too weird, including fire, ice, and space, and he could also use strange means to block his connection with the star core.

"I'm giving you a chance, a chance to challenge me and prove to me that your so-called 'new world' has the ability to surpass our 'old era'."

Kevin leaned back on the ice chair, his cold eyes piercing at Cocolia like a sharp blade, making Cocolia feel for a moment as if she was facing a monster.

It seems as if he is the final BOSS.

"Cocolia, this is your only chance—"

"——This time, I won't give you any right to choose."

Bronya, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two clearly. She knew what Kevin said meant, but what if her mother still had a chance to turn back?

Feeling Bronya's inquiring gaze, Cocolia looked at her calmly, as if she could see through her thoughts. She shook her head and denied it in a firm tone, shattering Bronya's only hope.

"When I made this choice, there was no turning back, and I don't need to turn back."

"But it's time to tell you the other reason I brought you here, Bronya."

"..."

Bronya remained silent. Cocolia's words just now had awakened her delusions. Now that things had come to this, there was no turning back. She wanted to hear what Cocolia wanted to say.

Seeing that Bronya did not refuse, Cocolia began to explain the reason.

"I want to witness your choice."

"I have told you all the truth; about the deal with the star core, about the wish I made to it. There are no more secrets between us...

"Many years ago, the sound of the star core rang in my ears for the first time, but I, like all the guardians of the past, closed my eyes and ears. I was like you now, struggling to keep the so-called protection of the city builders..."

"My belief was once so firm... until an unexpected variable disrupted everything; another choice appeared before me, which meant overthrowing the old order and welcoming the arrival of a new world."

"But compared to the vague and increasingly distant existence, it is so real..."

"I have been thinking hard about how to convey all this to you. The promised tomorrow will always come. If you can't stay by my side and watch over that new world with me..."

As she spoke, Cocolia glanced at the people behind Bronya. It was because of them that she had to confess to Bronya so quickly.

"Perhaps, I should thank you, the outsiders. Due to the pressure you brought... I was finally able to face my last weakness."

"Bronya, from childhood to adulthood, I have never forced you to obey my will. No matter what, you always have a choice - it was so in the past and it is still so now."

"Choose, daughter."

Cocolia looked at Bronya tenderly, waiting for her answer.

"..."

Bronya closed her eyes and was silent for a moment. She covered her chest and took a long breath, looking at Cocolia with a firm gaze.

"Master Cocolia...thank you for raising me, and thank you for leaving the right to choose to you and me."

"It's just that, this last time, I can't stand on your side."

"You said that the deepest part of human nature is stupidity and cowardice. This may be true. Desperate situations will reflect the darkest side of people's hearts."

"But you missed those who are trying to survive and fight hard in desperate situations. I saw the light in them, on the front lines, in the lower levels, in the corners that you ignored."

"Our ancestors built this city with their own hands, and they struggled to survive in the swaying wind and snow. Even if this world is destined to fall apart, the road to the end should be paved by humans themselves—"

"——Instead of leaving your fate to this scourge!"

"You want to trample on humanity and play the role of judge and god at the same time - I cannot allow such a thing!"

Bronya righteously rejected Cocolia's decision. She would never choose the path given by Cocolia.

"…She refused…Do what you have to do…"

The voice of the star core sounded in Cocolia's ears.

Cocolia was silent for a moment. It was obvious that she found it hard to accept such a decision. She lowered her eyes and murmured.

"I see... your choice is... this is it. I understand, Bronya."

"What a pity... What a pity that you can't see the beautiful world. You can't break through the shackles of your thoughts... You should have become the mother of the new world, you know?

Cocolia seemed to have accepted the fact that her good intentions were not understood, and her eyes turned cold as she looked at Bronya.

"But from now on, we can only be enemies."

Cocolia glanced at Kevin. Although she didn't say anything, her every move confirmed her thoughts. Just as Kevin said, she showed the power of the so-called new world before their eyes.

She turned around, pointed her lance at the huge mechanical arm behind her, and gave the order.

“It is impossible to establish the new without destroying the old.”

"As the Great Guardian, I order you to stand up—"

"——Creation Engine!"

Rumbling--

The sound of an engine starting was heard, and then the ground began to shake.

Cocolia slowly floated into the air, and the overturned creation engine stood up and stood behind her.

The arm that was originally clinging to the edge of the platform was raised and waved towards the crowd.

"It's an ancient machine from the builders of the city! Be careful, everyone!"

Bronya looked at the huge hand that was about to attack and warned everyone.

Seeing this, everyone quickly ran away from the attack range of the creation engine.

Xing, who was running on the road, suddenly remembered something and quickly turned around to look behind her.

Kevin was still leaning on the ice bench, showing no intention of leaving.

Xing exclaimed as Kevin was about to be hit.

"Brother Kevin!"

bang——

The mechanical palm fell straight down.
