Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

"The star core will lead us to create a new world without suffering."

“No…that’s not right…”

Bronya covered her forehead and stepped back.

"That's not the world I want!"

"Why not? Look, that world is so beautiful. People don't have to beg for survival like prisoners. We can protect that world forever."

Cocolia looked up at the core of the star and murmured the history.

"For seven hundred years, we have continued to try and struggle, believing that the light of humanity would guide us towards revival."

"In the end, humanity was completely defeated!"

"Stop resisting, Bronya. Abandon human folly and cowardice and break free from the shackles that bind you!"

"Come, welcome the new world with me. The star core will lead humanity to evolution—"

Chapter 99 The One Who Truly Overthrew the City Builder

Before he could finish his words, a baseball bat came flying through the air.

Cocolia swung her ice spear and knocked it away, looking at the newcomer expressionlessly.

"You finally came. I thought the blizzard and the Rift Army would engulf you."

Using the movement of the bat to attract Cocolia's attention, Xing successfully grabbed Bronya's wrist and took her away from where she was.

"How could a hero fall on the way?"

Glancing at the weapon that was knocked away, Xing slightly bent his left hand to recall it, put it on his shoulder, and stretched out his right hand forward.

"Cocolia, your days of misleading people and doing whatever you want are over. Give me the star core."

"If you want it, come and get it yourself if you have the guts." Cocolia said calmly.

Seele flashed to Bronya's side and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.

"I abide by the agreement we made down there. If anything happens to you, I will come to your rescue no matter what."

"Listen! First, we must seal the core; second—"

She paused, "Even if you've been brainwashed by this woman, I'll knock you out and take you back!"

Feeling the whispers in her head fade away, Bronya raised her face with some difficulty.

"Seele...everyone..."

Xing tilted his head to look at her: "I hope you still remember your experience and determination in the lower district."

Otherwise, Lingzhou's good intentions will be meaningless.

Bronya's eyes were filled with emotion, and a flash of determination passed through them.

"Of course I haven't forgotten!"

Xing nodded secretly, took out the things Lingzhou gave him, and stuck them on the ground.

"We brought it to you, and we hope you understand what it symbolizes."

She loosened her grip on the rifle.

When Bronya's eyes fell on the rifle, Cocolia did the same, her eyes full of meaning.

The former did not raise his hand.

"Bronya, I brought you here for another reason: to witness your final choice."

"I have revealed the entire truth to you: the bargain with the star core, the wish I made to it."

"Now, there are no more secrets between us mother and daughter."

"Many years ago, the voice of the star core first rang in my ears, but like all guardians of the past, I closed my eyes and ears."

"I then was like you now, diligently guarding what the city builders called protection."

"My belief was once so firm, until a sudden change disrupted everything—"

"A brand new option appeared before me, which could overturn the old order and allow us to welcome the arrival of a new world."

"Compared to the vague and increasingly distant existence, how real it is..."

Hearing this, Bronya clenched her fists.

Cocolia continued to speak to herself.

"I've been thinking hard about how to convey all this to you."

"When the tomorrow promised by the Star Core arrives, without you by my side to watch over this new world, I will be plunged into pain—"

"It's an indelible pain, Bronya, do you understand?"

"From childhood to adulthood, I have never forced you to obey my will, but no matter what, there will always be a day when you must make a choice. It was so in the past, and it remains so now."

"Now, choose, my daughter."

Bronya's body trembled slightly.

The years of mother-daughter love and the grace of raising and teaching have had an impact on her.

Xing couldn't stand it anymore and started talking without even thinking.

"When faced with such a major issue, why bother playing the emotional card?"

"Ultimately, you're just looking for a plausible excuse for your betrayal of your guardianship."

"What do you mean by overthrowing the old order and welcoming a new world? Is the new world only big enough for you and Bronya?"

"Those Iron Guards who fought for their homeland and died on the battlefield at the hands of the Rift Monsters, aren't they worthy of welcoming the new world?"

"Those people you've locked up underground, living in darkness and worse than prisoners, aren't they worthy of yearning for a new world?"

"For over a decade, how many people have risked everything for Beloberg, for this last city-state?"

"With just one sudden change, you negated everyone's efforts."

"They have even abandoned the will and faith passed down by our ancestors!"

The series of powerful words delighted countless players.

"Well said, say more!" Ah Xian directly put himself into the story.

[What a sharp tongue. ]

[I'm really cool and handsome. It turns out it's so cool to be the protagonist who's not dumb! ]

[Speak more, I love to hear it, I hope to scold Cocolia and break her defense.]

If Ling Zhou were here, with his playful and venomous nature, he'd probably spray Cocolia to bits.

【The day my adoptive father is away, I miss him. 】

The star is still outputting.

"The chaos and disaster you caused have cost countless compatriots the price of their blood."

"You know, Bronya, your mother brought you here and released an army of rift monsters towards the restricted area."

"If Ling Zhou hadn't been there, the Langdao siblings and the Iron Guards would have been dead sooner or later."

"By then, the entire Beloberg will be overturned."

"Remember the crime Kokolia accused us of? We were trying to infiltrate Beloberg and overthrow the City Builders."

"It seems so ridiculous now. They're really good at playing the thief crying thief."

"The one who truly wants to overthrow the City Builders is your mother—Cocolia, the Great Guardian of the Great."

Thinking of his resolute and expectant eyes before parting with Lingzhou——

Xing looked at Cocolia with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Cocolia, don't make your position sound so righteous and correct."

"Now we don't want to talk to you about meaningless right and wrong, just our stance. Our stance is simple and will never change—"

"We need to seal the star core over there."

"We must save this world too."

"The nameless traveler travels through world after world, helping those who deserve help and saving worlds that deserve saving."

"But Wumingke never owes anyone anything, and Lingzhou, who stood in front of countless world-ripping monsters, owes you nothing either!"

"If a brainwashed psychopath gets in our way, we'll have to show our true colors."

"Kokolia, you must pay for the blood of the dead and the warriors who shed it!"

"Oh my god... so cool!"

"If I were an aluminum cylinder, I'd probably fall in love with myself."

"What a domineering declaration! This protagonist is so well-developed!"

[I still remember Lingzhou's adoptive father. He raised the child so well.]

【The momentum is full. 】

[This makes my blood boil, I'm eager for Tata to open, let's show off our HP bar, Cocolia!]

Cocolia's pupils trembled and became even colder.

"As expected, human arrogance is destined to lead to short-sightedness."

"You've only been around this world a few times, and you think you've seen the truth. Just an outsider, put away your self-righteous righteousness!"

……

Chapter 100 A Future Without Humanity

"Seven hundred years, seven hundred years—"

"The guardians never even laid eyes on humans. In the end, the first generation of great guardians could only make wishes to the star core."

"One war ends, only to have another, never-ending war begin..."

"Do you understand? Do you understand the despair we endure?!"

Xingqi was so angry that he laughed.

"I don't understand why the guardian never even glances at the previous guardians, but I definitely understand you."

"You're like this now, even if I were Creeper I wouldn't even look at you, do you think you deserve it?"

"Lingzhou has been pioneering, and now he's taking your place, guarding the front lines and protecting humanity. Doesn't his actions embody the spirit of preservation even more than yours?"

"And did Creeper look at him?"

San Yue Qi agreed deeply and blurted out, "That's right, well said!"

As soon as I said this, I realized that these words came from the mouth of that lively and funny girl.

Cool, I'm impressed by her.

Dan Heng next to him was the same, looking at Xing with a hint of surprise.

When she was at the Black Tower Space Station, she was not like this.

Could it be that it was due to Ling Zhou's subtle influence...

Xing had no idea what her companions thought of her now, and her chest was filled with anger.

"Kneeling before the terror of despair, Kokolia, you chose to abandon everything!"

"The people of Beloberg, the will passed down by generations of guardians, and the will to preserve."

"Even a butterfly cannot fly across the vast ocean. The first Great Guardian was left with nowhere to go but to turn his gaze to the star core."

"Later generations are unable to comprehend the star's core, nor find a way to destroy it. They can only conceal the truth and pass on the responsibility of the Great Guardian, hoping that future generations will have the wisdom to break the shackles."

"If you can't do anything, then follow in the footsteps of your ancestors and pass on the responsibility to those who come after you."

"Are you ashamed of this? Don't worry, no one will laugh at you."
