Chapter 59

But Lin Qi didn't want her to be silent and asked, "You saw it, I have the power of Preservation, so can I ignite the Flame Lance now?"

What could the girl’s phantom of the Guardian’s will say?

Even if you gave her ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare.

She could only force a smile.

"I... we approve of you. No, thank you for your approval of us! This Flame Lance, you can ignite it if you want, and extinguish it if you want, it’s up to you."

"Is that so? Then I won't be polite."

Material world.

When Lin Qi opened his eyes again, he saw Cocolia opposite him looking at the Flame Lance in his hand in a daze.

"The Flame Lance... has been ignited?" Cocolia said in disbelief.

"This? Sorry, I said I would return it to you." Lin Qi’s tone was calm, "But it doesn't matter, since I can ignite it, I can naturally..."

"Flame Lance, extinguish!"

Lin Qi said casually, and then, under Cocolia’s ghost-seeing expression, the Flame Lance, which was burning with fire a moment ago, turned into a big block of ice the next moment.

For a moment.

Cocolia’s worldview collapsed.

Whose Flame Lance is this anyway? Although she lost her heart of Preservation, it shouldn't be able to do whatever it wants in your hands.

You are not the Supreme Guardian.

At this time.

Lin Qi said again, "Although I said I would return it to you, it’s not now. I still want to study some things inside it."

"But don't worry, I won't damage it."

"Besides, I already know what you have done over the past few hundred years. Hmm... how should I put it, I still admire it quite a bit. To be able to persist for hundreds of years, if it were ordinary people, they would have been extinct long ago."

"So, out of my personal admiration, I decided to help you once."

Help us?

Cocolia calmed down.

She didn't come to this place where the Stellaron was buried on a whim.

It was out of worry.

Worry that after the Legion solved the Fragmentum, they would turn around and attack Belobog.

This worry was definitely not groundless, but a foreseeable thing.

And whether it was the Fragmentum or Belobog, without external interference, it was absolutely impossible to block the Legion.

Cocolia knew this well.

So, or rather, at the same time, under the bewitchment of the Stellaron, she came here.

Just to make a wish to the Stellaron at the most critical moment.

Let it...

Launch another Eternal Freeze!

No choice.

Only in this way could they resist the Legion again.

She was even prepared to enter the Fragmentum opened by the Stellaron, which was to sacrifice herself.

After all, making a wish to the Stellaron without paying something is impossible.

Unless you can endure the Stellaron’s distortion of the wish.

Regarding this.

Cocolia accepted it calmly.

She knew very well that everything has a price.

For example, now.

The mysterious man said he could help them once; wouldn't they have to pay something?

Cocolia didn't believe anyone would be so kind.

So, she asked.

"Then may I ask..."

"What is the price?"

The whole population converted into the Legion? Or enslaved by this mysterious man? Or something else that is hard to say?

Cocolia was prepared.

Because she knew she was powerless to resist.

But just when Cocolia was uneasy, Lin Qi took out a contract with special material and said.

"The price is..."

"You have to admit the debt you owed the IPC nearly seven hundred years ago, and now you have to repay it to me."

Huh?

Debt?

Cocolia was stunned.

She tried hard to recall and remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

At that time, in order to resist the Legion and build the city, they borrowed a large sum of Credits from the IPC.

It’s just a pity that they lost contact later and became "deadbeats" to the IPC.

After some more time passed, except for the Supreme Guardian who could read past documents and still had some impression of this matter, probably not many people in the entire Belobog knew about it.

But this matter did indeed happen.

How to choose...

There was no need to choose.

Unless Cocolia’s brain was broken, she might refuse.

This is a person who can even control the Legion!

What else is there to be afraid of following him?

The only thing to know in advance is...

"May I ask, how much does Belobog owe?"

"About fifty billion."

When Cocolia heard this, she couldn't believe it, because...

"Is it only that much?"

51. Sealing the Stellaron! Two Paths Left for Belobog

Cocolia only remembered that Belobog did indeed owe such a debt.

But she really didn't pay attention to how much money it was.

After all, according to the contract, that debt had expired hundreds of years ago.

But even after so long, she hadn't seen anyone from the IPC come to collect it.

So, why would she care about this?

Basically, the last few Supreme Guardians just glanced at this debt and ignored it.

Maybe some Supreme Guardians even wished the IPC would come and take over this mess.

At this moment.

Cocolia’s thoughts were about the same.

Of course, she didn't want to rely on just anyone, but at least she had to choose someone who could solve Belobog’s crisis.

For example, this mysterious man in front of her.

Therefore, after Lin Qi proposed that the debt was "fifty billion," she exclaimed directly.

How could it be...

So little?

Although fifty billion is not a small amount, it is indeed something that can be repaid.

Although Belobog doesn't have many people.

But at most one or two generations, the debt can be cleared.

Theoretically, Cocolia should be happy.

But after seeing Lin Qi’s specialness, she instead thought it would be better if these debts could not be repaid.

Lin Qi glanced at Cocolia and saw through her thoughts.

He didn't point it out.

He continued to add.

"The principal is fifty billion, but this debt has been overdue for hundreds of years. With interest rolling, it’s already an astronomical figure. I won't say exactly how much it is."

"Is that so?"

Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief.

Great.

The debt cannot be repaid.

As for what the citizens would think...

Honestly, in the past, Cocolia would have worried a little.

But now, there is really nothing to worry about.

This man in front of her can even control the Legion. If the people of Belobog are unwilling, he doesn't need to do anything; he can just walk away and let the Legion make a comeback, and no one on Jarilo-VI would be able to bear it.

She, Cocolia, would only be able to ask the Stellaron for help again...

Thinking of this, Cocolia was a little worried.

The Stellaron has been in the world for over a thousand years, and so many experts and scholars have tried every means, but they haven't been able to seal it.

If it is left to continue to exist, who knows what crisis will occur.

And it is hard to say whether Cocolia’s series of policies were due to the bewitchment of the Stellaron or her own original thoughts.

"Sir, the Stellaron..."

Just as Cocolia was halfway through, a hole suddenly cracked in the space in the distance.

A dangerous aura leaked out from it.

Immediately after.

A batch of dangerous Fragmentum creatures appeared from it.

There were centaur-like ones, ones like solidified ice, and even more humanoid ones.

"Ice from the Outer Universe! And the Guardian’s Shadow!"

Having fought the Fragmentum for hundreds of years.

Even if she hadn't encountered them, Cocolia could know the terror of these Fragmentum creatures from various book records.

Any one of them was a trouble that the Silvermane Guards found difficult to solve.

It required a considerable casualty rate.

And right now.

Such "trouble" was not just one, but in patches!

"Sir, these Fragmentum creatures are difficult to deal with; you might need to summon the Legion over..."

In Cocolia’s view.

Only the Legion could deal with them; otherwise, they might not be able to leave here.

However, she was only halfway through when a figure moved.

The speed was so fast that she couldn't capture it at all.

She could only see the figure clearly in the moment it stopped briefly; it was a girl who was not tall.

The one following this lord?

Cocolia didn't have time to think too much. By the time everything settled, where were there any Fragmentum creatures left?

That existence which was like a formidable enemy to her.

In front of this girl, it was nothing but an ant, not even a drop of sweat was shed.

Too strong!

But what Cocolia didn't expect was that the mysterious man seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Miss Miss Xueyi, the ice crystal shell of the Ice from the Outer Universe is a very good research material. You destroyed it too severely."

"I understand, I will pay attention next time."

The girl nodded and replied.

This again surprised Cocolia beyond measure.

Clearly.

This girl still had considerable spare strength.

"Cocolia... right? I have selected several plans for your Belobog, which can not only help you overcome the crisis but also allow your civilization to leap forward. However, the specifics will have to wait until I finish dealing with the things in my hand."

Lin Qi said casually.

Then his attention was no longer on Cocolia.

But on the Fragmentum hole that had just opened.

"I originally wanted to observe for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to make a move first. It seems I have to solve you first."

Lin Qi spoke as if talking to the air.

But as long as you know what is hidden here, you know Lin Qi is not talking to himself.

But communicating with the Stellaron!

Stellaron, an extremely mysterious substance.

Or rather, "life."

Whether it is Herta’s research or various records, it shows that the Stellaron has consciousness. Perhaps this consciousness is far from being called a soul, but it is enough to show that the Stellaron is not a dead object.

Besides.

Many people believe that the Stellaron is the work of the Star God of Destruction.

But Lin Qi doesn't think so.

The Star God of Destruction at most participated in the spread of the Stellaron; He would definitely not be its creator.

Because although the "Stellaron" is called the seed of disaster and the Cancer of All Worlds, and brings disaster and destruction to all worlds, the Fragmentum it produces and the Antimatter Legion are not on the same path at all.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the destructive power shown by the Antimatter Legion is far above the Fragmentum.

The Star God of Destruction has no need to spend great effort to create a Stellaron that has a similar effect to the Antimatter Legion but whose destructive effect is not as direct as the Legion.

The key is that these two forces cannot get together.

Isn't creating it thankless?

Although Star Gods don't mind trouble, and don't have this concept.

But the destruction of the incarnation of entropy, what He does, is to make the universe fall into the doomsday of entropy increase, and any creative behavior is in a sense contrary to entropy increase.

Therefore, after creating the Legion, there is no need to create a Stellaron.

Besides.

The Stellaron, in addition to the characteristics of destruction, seems to involve other Star Gods.

As far as Lin Qi knows, the forms of disaster brought by Stellarons in other parts of the universe to other worlds are not exactly the same.

Some can even provide source code, which is completely different from the authority, or rather, the expressive power, of the Belobog Stellaron.

"How does the Belobog Stellaron look more and more like the Path of Memory?"

Lin Qi couldn't help but think.

Associating with memory, the concepts that first come to Lin Qi’s mind are "ice," "spiritual world," "phantom of the past," etc.

And these happen to match the disaster manifested by the Belobog Stellaron.

While thinking, Lin Qi had already used his powerful Destruction power to drag the Stellaron hidden in the depths of the Fragmentum out!

He didn't need any other means.

The Destruction power has no other effect, it just highlights brute force to create miracles.

Simple and efficient.

Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart; no wonder so many people want to step onto the Path of Destruction.

It is indeed easy to use.

"Stellaron? Sir, you captured the Stellaron?" Cocolia looked surprised.

Although she had heard the bewitching voice of the Stellaron a long time ago.

But this was the first time she had truly seen the body of the Stellaron.
