Cocolia ultimately failed, her will and body vanishing together.
This might be a good ending, but it's still hard for Bronya to accept.
While no one was paying attention, Qiong briefly lost his focus for a moment, during which time his consciousness entered a strange space.
However, unlike before, this is neither the same space nor the will of the city builder; instead, it is another person.
"Hi~ my dear little brother, long time no see~"
"Xing? Where have you been all this time? And where is this?"
Qiong looked at Xing, who was smiling in front of her, and couldn't help but speak.
"This is our space~ Just like the time-stopping effect shown at the Black Tower Space Station, it was achieved by covering this space~"
Xing didn't explain in too much detail, and Qiong only understood part of it.
Just as he was wondering, another figure appeared in his field of vision, or rather, an illusory afterimage.
"This is... Cocolia?"
"That's right, but she has already died once, and is currently only a soul."
Xing affirmed Qiong's words, and at the same time reached out and poked Cocolia, who was still unconscious, but the latter did not react.
Moreover, she is currently in the same human form as before her death, but the important point should be...
Why isn't she wearing any clothes?
Qiong pointed to the beautiful woman in front of him, whose skin was covered in large expanses of snow-white skin. Although her soul form appeared somewhat illusory at the moment, the texture and details of her skin were still clear.
"Isn't it normal for a soul to not have clothes? That's how it is when there is no conscious awareness."
Hearing Hoshi's matter-of-fact words, Sora stopped dwelling on the topic and turned her gaze away from Cocolia.
"Alright, let's not talk about how you did it. What are you going to do with her soul?"
"That depends on you. I have a way to bring her back to life, but whether you want it or not is up to you."
Xing blinked as she spoke, without revealing the method, but the choice was placed in front of Qiong.
"Resurrection?"
Qiong's mind flashed back to Bronya's sorrowful expression, but despite this, he did not make a decision immediately.
"May I ask for the person's opinion?"
"Eh? That's a good option."
Xing was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, she did not refuse.
He then went up to Cocolia and snapped his fingers in front of her forehead.
The next second, as if startled by something, the latter opened her eyes instantly.
"Where am I? I'm not... wait, it's you!"
Cocolia noticed Sora's presence, her expression changed in surprise, and she instinctively took a step back.
During the process, I also noticed my current state: I was NOT wearing any clothes!
"You! Why am I here? What do you want?!"
She paused here.
"Fine, I deserve what I've got now..."
Thinking of this, Cocolia stopped resisting and instead knelt down with her long, fair legs together.
The proud snow-capped peaks offered no cover, bowing their heads as if resigned to fate.
"Uh, did she misunderstand something?"
Seeing this, Qiong was at a loss for words, while Xing rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't you want to think about what you did before that person died?"
It's important to know that after Cocolia was knocked unconscious by Sora, the subsequent battles were fought by the Star Core's consciousness, and Cocolia died immediately after regaining consciousness.
Well, that makes sense when you think about it, but let's not dwell on that for now. Sora came to Cocolia's side again.
Although she had given up struggling, Cocolia couldn't help but purse her lips nervously as the other person approached.
At this moment, she was kneeling on the ground with her legs together, her hands supporting her on either side, neither covering herself nor resisting.
"She's quite well-behaved."
"Um... what are you going to do?"
Cocolia asked the question again, even though she already had a guess in her heart and recalled the feelings she had at that time.
Her pale knees were pressed even closer together, and her fleshy legs were squeezed out in a soft arc.
"It's nothing, it's just that you still want to live? Don't rush to refuse, I mean to live on and protect Belloberg in another form."
"what?"
Cocolia didn't understand what Sora was saying at first.
Just now, Xing had told Qiong what he could do, and as for how to do it specifically, it would be up to him to persuade Cocolia.
Even if coercive measures are used, Cocolia cannot resist, but Sora is, after all, a reasonable person within reasonable limits.
Thus, this conversation ensued. However, upon hearing this, Cocolia was still somewhat undecided, and seeing this, Sora could only speak up again.
“Ms. Cocolia, you don’t want to upset Miss Bronya, do you? Then… cough… let’s consider it atonement for the mistakes you made under the influence of the Star Core, how about that?”
Qiong hurriedly changed her words halfway through, almost accidentally saying something strange. It wasn't until she heard Bronya's name that Cocolia was moved again.
"Bronya...atone..."
Dying like this would surely cause Bronya immense torment, especially given the sins she had committed. Although she believed Bronya could endure it, but…
"I... understand. What do you want me to do?"
Cocolia looked up at the sky in front of her, but the latter looked at the star beside her, and the star nodded in agreement.
"Leave it to me~"
However, Xing disappeared immediately after saying this, without even putting Qiong back, which surprised the remaining two people.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention, since we need your cooperation to revive, you'll have to stay here for a while. Don't worry, from the outside, you'll just be spacing out for a bit."
Xing's voice came from somewhere, and after answering the question this time, there was no further response for a short period of time.
"Hey! That's so irresponsible!"
Qiong said somewhat indignantly, "This guy Xing didn't even tell me how long he's going to stay. It's so boring to just stay here like this!"
"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble..."
Cocolia's words carried a hint of apology.
Upon hearing her voice, Qiong remembered that there was another person present, and the former had already stood up from the ground.
However, unlike her previous disheveled appearance, she was now trying her best to cover herself with her hands, even though she was still naked and fair-skinned.
Especially the large cream pudding that looked like it was adorned with strawberries; although the small strawberries were hidden by the arm, their red and tender outlines could still be seen...
"Um……"
"W-What happened? I didn't want to be like this, but I woke up without any clothes, and there was nothing I could do."
Cocolia looked away shyly, but Qiong wasn't about to let her off so easily.
"Ms. Cocolia, I don't recall you being this dishonest just now, did you?"
"W-What do you mean?"
"What I mean is... we should really think about how you pierced my body with a spear not long ago."
Chapter 44 Using Cocolia's Milk Tea
"Um..."
Upon hearing Sora's words, Cocolia felt a surge of fear and instinctively took a step back, but then realized that she had indeed made a mistake earlier.
If she needs to atone for her sins, there's nothing more to say, since that's the case...
"W-What are you going to do...?"
"want."
"What...uh...okay, alright."
Although she could roughly guess what it was, Cocolia was still caught off guard by Sora's straightforward answer.
Qiong's idea was also very simple.
That is to fight fire with fire, since he had been pierced through the body by the other party with a spear.
So, letting Cocolia get stabbed by her own spear now isn't such a bad thing, is it?
At the same time, Cocolia also lowered her hands, crossed one arm over her chest, and grasped the other arm with her palm.
Although he wasn't as candid as he had been in his despair, at least he wasn't hiding anything too much anymore, and he seemed quite obedient.
As for obedient children, Qiong will naturally treat them gently, unlike before when she was rude.
Now that the hard ice armor is gone, the slightly icy snowballs can be touched directly.
Perhaps because she had previously fused with the power of the star core, even now, in her soul form, Cocolia's body still feels somewhat cold.
As for whether the interior is the same, we'll have to test it out first. Qiong has no intention of rushing in, after all, what is Mixue Ice City like?
"Ugh...!"
"Oh? The reaction is even stronger than before, Ms. Cocolia. Do you really have no experience at all?"
Qiong withdrew her hand, placed her fingertips in front of the other person, and asked under their shy expression.
"So what? Don't humiliate me like this!"
"No, no, I didn't mean to humiliate you. I was just thinking that if that's the case, it will be more difficult for you next."
Cocolia didn't quite understand what Qiong was saying, but she soon realized why. Even though it was just what Qingyan had seen, she still found it hard to believe.
I subconsciously squeezed my wrist, and after comparing it to the previous one, the courage I had mustered earlier vanished again...
"Even if you wanted to refuse now, you wouldn't be allowed to, after all, this is Cocolia's own decision."
Qiong herself also wanted to try the icy-cold feeling. Anyway, when she tested it before, it was both soft and cold, like jelly.
Cocolia understood her previous decision and knew she couldn't go back on it now. She could only choose to send Sora milk tea until he was satisfied.
Qiong's experience was like two smooth puddings. After enjoying these two puddings, he naturally planned to explore the snow cave further.
It's worth mentioning that Cocolia's reaction really startled Qiong, who almost thought she was about to break down.
Besides Sora's own strength, Cocolia's own actions also contributed to this outcome.
This is easy to understand; it's like land that has never been developed being suddenly and violently chiseled by excavators and pile drivers.
Such relentless mechanical operation will naturally cause great damage to the local ecology, as is the case in Cocolia.
So she fell into a coma again. Fortunately, Xing was almost done with his business and came back to check on her before telling Qiong that she could go back.
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately tried it, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back at the place of the previous decisive battle, except that Bronya was still in a state of grief.
But things are different now. When Qiong looked at Bronya, she felt not sadness at all, but rather something strange.
After all, during that process just now, Cocolia not only did not resist him, but even gradually became more cooperative at the beginning.
In the end, she even took the initiative to ride him, which left Qiong somewhat at a loss.
However, according to Xing, even if Cocolia is resurrected, she won't be able to come out for a while. Anyway, his idea is that Belloborg needs a strong combat force now.
Wouldn't Cocolia be perfect for this? Once the influence of the "Star Core" disappears, she can easily handle the remaining antimatter legion.
There's also the rift that remains in this world. Although it won't expand rapidly, it won't disappear into thin air either. It can be given to Cocolia when the time comes.
After all, Belleburg, which will be in a state of disarray and in need of rebuilding, will not have enough manpower and resources to deal with these crises.
Later, Dan Heng also contacted Ji Zi and Uncle Yang to seal the star core. However, during this time, Qiong couldn't help but frown.
"Hiss, it seems I've forgotten something..."
On March 7th, he noticed his expression and immediately spoke up to show his concern.
