Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

[This level isn't even a knife, I'm afraid there's more to come. Lingzhou doesn't seem to be in Yaliluo anymore, so what was he doing?]

Yes.

No one can figure it out.

[Did Lingzhou become a deserter? ]

"Run away, run away! If he were a deserter, would he give me wings, which anyone with eyes can see are so important?"

[That’s right, there must be some side storyline! ]

[Hah, stop covering your mouth. I know you're prone to tears, but please get through the story quickly!]

Ah Xian sniffed, wiped his eyes with a tissue, and picked up the mouse again to click on the game screen.

"I'm fighting Cocolia right now, why am I here..."

"The wings that just appeared behind me..."

Xing's pupils trembled for a moment, and he tilted his head to look behind him.

There seems to be a special feeling there.

Catching that feeling, my mind moved——

The huge wings suddenly spread out.

Xing stared at the wings in a daze, reached out to touch them, and spoke in a complicated tone.

"Lingzhou..."

Her actions made many players feel a little emotional.

Lingzhou really...

Xing looked up into the distance.

"The last time I came here, Nanook glanced at me. Could it be that—"

She muttered to herself, trying to flap her wings.

Its body was a little crooked when it took off into the air, but it quickly adjusted its balance and flapped its wings to fly forward.

In the air, afterimages of the past emerged one after another.

Jeppard and the Iron Guard were reporting the battle situation to Cocolia.

"The commercial district has fallen. Residents have been relocated and temporarily relocated to the outer city. Twenty-six members of the garrison have been killed, but I..."

"Go on, Jeppard."

"I... I'm not sure if the fallen Iron Guards are truly dead. I saw their broken bodies wandering in the Rift..."

"What's happening there defies common sense and borders on madness. Guardian, if this continues—"

Cocolia interrupted Jeppard.

"I'm well aware of the consequences, Jeppard. Stand down."

The Voice of the Star Core: "We are well aware of the consequences..."

The afterimage disappears.

Xing clenched his right fist, holding his breath, and headed towards the next afterimage.

Her reaction at this moment was exactly the same as that of countless players.

Cocolia, you deserve to die!

"What are you still hesitating about, Cocolia?"

The person who talked to Kokolia this time was Shiluwa.

"Isn't this what you've been waiting for? Get out of this cage and see this city with your own eyes. What do we have to lose?"

Chapter 103 This is the inscription of salvation!

"The efforts of our predecessors...their unfinished research has finally borne fruit in this era!"

"Give me a guard and let me find the star core. I will definitely find a way to save our home!"

Cocolia's voice was cold.

"Calm down, Silva."

"Calm down? What are you talking about—"

"Iron Guard! Ms. Landau is tired. Take her down, seal off her lab, and detain all researchers. They are conducting illegal research."

Shiluwa's voice was full of surprise, confusion, and bewilderment.

Obviously, she didn't expect Cocolia to do this, and couldn't help but question her.

"Why, Cocolia, why are you stopping us? We're so close to finding the truth and a way to end this disaster..."

"At least tell me—why?!"

"There are things you shouldn't know, let alone touch. From today on, you are no longer a member of the City Builders."

"Cocolia...why have you become so cold...?"

Shiluwa's voice trembled, with a hint of despair in her disbelief.

Cocolia remained unmoved until Shiluwa disappeared.

"Silva Landau...you were once my most cherished friend."

The Voice of the Star Core: "But there is no place for her in the promised new world."

Seeing this, Xing was so angry that he kicked Cocolia's afterimage away.

This mentally ill woman is even more crazy and paranoid than she imagined.

She moved on.

However, what she saw this time almost made her bite her back teeth to pieces.

Cocolia actually—she actually!

He actually pushed the Iron Guards into the abyss with his own hands, using their will as food to feed the Star Core...

Still talking about pardoning their stupidity and fear?

“…Cocolia!”

Xing adjusted his breathing rate and continued to fly forward.

This time, she had no time to stop and was eager to find a way to leave.

The battle is not over yet.

Her companions were waiting for her.

The world is waiting for the salvation of the nameless guest.

And she carries Lingzhou's will.

Intuition told Xing that the bright light rising into the sky in the distance would give her the answer to her departure.

As the distance got closer, Xing noticed a child's figure not far away.

He fell from mid-air, folded his wings, and a weak sigh sounded slowly in her ears.

"The city cries out... The power that protects it fades... In the end, we are powerless to resist the will of the star core."

Xing roughly guessed the nature of the existence before him——

She... should be the aggregation of the wills of guardians from all generations.

"Cocolia gave up her protection."

"That's right... but we have no right to blame."

The guardian sighed, his voice like wind passing through ruins.

"For seven hundred years, the Rift has expanded endlessly. Those who succeed it inherit not faith, glory, or wealth, but boundless despair..."

"Watching the home you swore to protect crumble is a cruel torture. Sedulous whispers haunt you day and night...even the strongest of wills can waver."

"This day is destined to come... His protection will eventually leave us..."

"..."

Xing's mind flashed back to what he had seen and heard during this journey.

Those small but tenacious figures struggling for survival.

Those iron guards who have no way out for the sake of their homes.

"There will always be someone who will not waver. Cocolia is cowardly and gives up, willing to sink. Then I will protect her!"

"you……"

The Guardian suddenly turned around, his tone shocked.

"A mere passerby, yet you insist on shouldering the fate of the entire world?"

"Compared to carrying the fate of the entire world and the will to protect it, I also carry something more important—"

"The will to explore!"

"Explore...expand... that's good... since we have nothing to lose, why not give it a try?"

The guardian's gaze was cast towards the blazing flames in the distance, and a faint hope was revealed in his sigh.

"Touch the amber's light. If your inner will is strong enough... perhaps you will attract its gaze..."

The guardian's figure dissipated like a shattered star.

Xing's expression was resolute. He turned around without hesitation and strode towards the amber light.

A giant lance stands tall, bringing a sense of familiarity.

After a little thought, there was a sudden realization in his eyes.

It turns out that it is not made of solid ice, but in the hands of those who betrayed and protected it, it has long lost any value.

The gun body glows with light, and the heavy aura it exudes is like solidified history. Every layer of halo carries the will that transcends time and space.

Xing stopped and stared for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his hand and grasped the gun.

boom!

Flames suddenly rose up and burning pain shot into the palm of his hand.

Xing's knuckles were instantly torn apart.

A surge of force came crashing down, shaking Xing's arms apart and causing him to retreat repeatedly.

But she rushed towards the lance again regardless, her ten fingers tightly gripping the handle.

"Get up—for me!"

Veins bulged on Xing's forehead, and his arms trembled from exerting too much force.

To bear the will to preserve and protect, one must first bear its immeasurable weight.

The flames engulfed his entire body, and the burning pain was almost insane.

His hands gradually lost feeling, but the faith in his eyes remained as solid as a rock, unshakable.

A gentle yet hopeful voice echoed in her mind.

"Alright, carry my will through this ancient battlefield, abandoned for centuries, and find Cocolia."

"I will always be by your side no matter what."

Hearing this, Ah Xian could no longer control his expression, his eyes turned red, and his vision instantly became blurred.

Wings spread from Xing's back and covered his arms.

Even the raging fire could not ignite the white feathers on the surface of the wings, but made them even more dazzling.

"According to our will—"

“Ugh—!!!”
