Chapter 389

Like a "comma."

Glittering with gold.

Three 'commas' circulated continuously, then gradually faded away.

That was not a comma; it was a 【Half-Moon】.

It also felt somewhat like a magatama, but not entirely identical.

In short, it represented: reproduction, soul, starry dome, civilization, and so on and so forth.

"You seem a bit different."

Star blinked.

"Oh, you are different; back then, you didn't have that spinning mark on your forehead."

March 7th chimed in.

"How do you feel?"

Seele asked.

"Very good; I feel my strength has increased."

Lu Shu smiled.

The dragon shadow seen in the depths of the starry sky was neither the Starforger Long Wang nor Neltharion, but a projection of his "power"!

And that "egg" was also a projection of the Stellaron's power, symbolizing life, gestation, and so on.

Subsequently, Long Zun devoured the egg.

And he had ascended.

Now, he possessed strength at the level of an "Emanator," yet would not be controlled by an "Aeon."

A single "Path" Emanator.

In other words, he was now an Emanator of seven "Paths."

The chat group is just awesome!

"Lu Shu, Mother she..."

Bronya wept, clutching Cocolia's broken body tightly, blood already staining her clothes red.

Taking one look, Lu Shu shook his head: "Restrain your grief!"

Hearing this, Bronya froze, tears tumbling down in a shower.

She cried with such heart-rending sorrow.

Emmmm...

Actually, this was not 'Cocolia,' but merely an animated puppet.

Lu Shu had long since learned the "Puppet Technique" from Ying Bao.

This was made for Cocolia.

With his current strength at the level of an Emanator of "Abundance," even if her head were crushed into powder, Lu Shu could regenerate it for her.

However.

This was Cocolia's 'accounting' to Belobog!

Although only a puppet died.

The real Cocolia was now no different from being dead.

"Sensory Sharing."

The real Cocolia also experienced the sensation of her heart exploding, and her original body had already entered a state of "death."

She was leaving!

Leaving Belobog, making her exit through 'death.'

Handing over the new Belobog into Bronya's hands!

"Go back."

"The people of Belobog still need you."

Lu Shu patted Bronya's shoulder.

"Mm."

Bronya wiped her tears, held her mother's body, and slowly stood up.

The Iron Guard Restricted Zone.

"Huff huff~, is, are there no more monsters coming?"

"All wiped out."

"We won!"

"Yeah――!!"

The Silvermane Guards cheered.

Outside the Restricted Zone defense line, not a single Rift monster attacked anymore.

They had won.

Who was laughing, and whose tears were flying!

Just then, a giant dragon descended from the sky.

Seeing Bronya holding Cocolia's corpse, the hearts of the Guards suddenly 'thumped.'

Tears streamed across their cheeks once more.

The Supreme Guardian had sacrificed herself.

"We!"

"Have won!!"

Bronya declared with solemn weight.

"Farewell, Supreme Guardian!"

"Farewell, Supreme Guardian!"

"Farewell, Supreme Guardian!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Choked sobs accompanied fists striking armor in a military salute as the Iron Guards silently parted ways, watching the suicide squad depart.

Every single one of them was clad in tattered rags; not a garment remained intact.

Clearly, each had suffered severe injuries.

They had merely been healed by Lu Shu.

But the Supreme Guardian's heart had exploded...

A day passed.

After a simple funeral.

Bronya ascended the throne of 'Supreme Guardian'.

The speech began.

"Citizens of Belobog, listen to me!"

"Cocolia Rand's sacrifice has opened a new chapter in our history. The wind and snow beyond the walls will gradually subside, and the expansion of the Rift will inevitably be suppressed by the Iron Guards' offensive."

Lu Shu sat below.

Under a sun umbrella not far away.

Sitting together with Stelle, March, Seele, and the other women.

"Today we gather here to commemorate our finest comrade!"

"Her sacrifice deserves a full half-day work stoppage for mourning!"

Saying this, Lu Shu smiled slightly.

"Only half a day?"

"What nonsense are you spouting again? Hm, I now feel you and Stelle truly make a pair."

"Not only are you both Stellaron spirits."

"But you both occasionally speak incomprehensible words."

March rolled her little white eyes.
