Chapter 289

"I can tell, you aliens each possess your own unique skills."

Before they could make a move, Cocolia, unable to gain much of an advantage in a 1v1, decided to reveal a new trump card.

She raised her long spear, pointing it straight at the night sky:

"In the name of the Supreme Guardian, I command you to rise!"

"——「Engine of Creation」!!!"

Accompanied by Cocolia's roar, the ground shook violently. Bronya, Dan Heng, March 7th, and "Stelle" felt as if the earth had turned into pudding, swaying constantly, unable to even stand steady.

And beneath the gloomy sky, an even more massive figure rose from the ground.

It was an incredibly huge machine, taller than the mountains, its face flashing with red, emitting an ominous light.

The corners of March 7th's mouth trembled:

"Hey... it seems the former Supreme Guardian isn't willing to admit defeat yet."

"But this thing is just too big... Bai Xuan!!!"

984177810

March 7th called out loudly toward the distance.

Looking in the direction March 7th was facing, one could see a figure in a black robe standing on top of the "Engine of Creation".

Bai Xuan rested one hand on the thick metal wall of the "Engine of Creation", gazing down.

The cold wind howled, but all the snow and wind bypassed Bai Xuan, as if an invisible force separated him from the world.

And Cocolia hadn't even flown halfway up the "Engine of Creation", let alone realized Bai Xuan's existence.

"It's just a giant construction robot, nothing to be afraid of."

"And listen to me, don't be in such a hurry; someone is more anxious than you."

March 7th said:

"What do you mean don't be in a hurry? We can't beat this thing... and where did Lord 'God' go?"

Welt Yang's polite voice came through the communicator:

"March, that is an ancient machine of the Architects."

Bai Xuan smiled slightly and nodded:

"Uncle Yang, the signal relay has been installed. I'll have to trouble you to hack into the machine's control hub."

Subsequently, he turned his head to look behind him, where an old man and a young girl stood—it was "God" and Clara.

"God"'s smile faded slightly, and he and Bai Xuan nodded to each other in greeting.

"Hello."

Clara was seeing the outside world for the first time, her expression full of eagerness, but she cared more about the big guy beneath them.

Mr. Svarog was the largest robot she knew of, yet the big guy beneath their feet now was a thousand, perhaps even a hundred times larger than Mr. Svarog.

"A robot... even bigger than Mr. Svarog!"

Then, Clara's pupils widened, looking at Bai Xuan in front of her in surprise:

"Ah, it's the big brother who appeared during the 'Heart-Stitching Bear' containment!"

Bai Xuan smiled:

"Hello, Clara."

At the same time, Cocolia held up her long spear and ordered:

· ·····Seeking flowers·· 0

"Engine! Crush them!"

As the order was issued, the giant palm, which seemed to cover the sky and sun, swept across, crushing the ice sculptures on the plaza and grinding away a layer of the stone bricks.

As for the previous trash can shelter, it naturally ceased to exist.

March 7th carried "Stelle" in one hand and Bronya in the other, emerging from the other side.

"Holy cow!"

Following that came a new order—

"Flatten the mountain peak!"

The giant palm brought up a gale, slamming down heavily, shaking the earth and mountains.

"Is there no end to this!"

Yet, Cocolia's attack not only failed to make Bronya feel despair, but instead made her will even firmer.

Whether you are the Stellaron or my mother, you are wrong.

Even if you crush my body, as long as I can prolong Belobog's existence for even a single moment, I will not yield to this damned fate.

As long as one person survives in Belobog, they will inherit the will of the Architects and walk the path of "Preservation".

Mother, as long as we do not stop our steps, the path of "Preservation" will continue to extend...

Suddenly, Bronya realized she was in the vast universe, where Qlipoth of "Preservation" was slowly swinging a hammer, building walls.

At the same time, the "Astral Express".

Welt Yang looked at the simple line of text on the screen and revealed a relieved smile.

【Control acquired!】

As a fan of giant robots, he finally completed the seizure and control of an enemy unit in a battle.

Subsequently, the giant palm reached out toward Cocolia.

In this short instant, Cocolia not only lost the long spear representing the Supreme Guardian but also lost control over the "Engine of Creation".

"This is impossible..."

Bronya held the long spear, aiming it at Cocolia:

"The will of 'Preservation' has made its choice."

Cocolia was somewhat manic:

"You know nothing about the plight of this world... nothing about the ending that awaits it!"

Bronya's gaze was firm:

"Even if we are destined to perish, we will walk hand in hand, bravely into that darkness——"

Strong power surged within Cocolia, frost climbing up her legs, wrapping her entire body, gradually transforming her into something non-human.

Her body was shrouded in ice crystals, ice cones like wings trailing behind her; her entire face seemed covered by a mask, her features having disappeared.

As her form changed, the temperature of the entire area plummeted rapidly.

"Listen... this power is surging... singing..."

"The promise given to me by the 'Stellaron' is the only hope for this world..."

"Seven hundred years ago, it expelled the 'Antimatter Legion'—today, it will also erase your existence!"

But Cocolia did not notice that the trend of the surrounding temperature dropping had suddenly been interrupted.

Nor did she notice the faint mechanical humming sound rising in the surroundings.

This should have been impossible; how could there still be functioning machinery in this area?

By the time she realized her power had been significantly weakened, it was too late.

Cocolia felt terror for the first time; she wanted to struggle, but her power no longer obeyed her will.

"Snap——"

Incredibly, Cocolia fell to the ground.

The ice crystals on her body shattered piece by piece, turning into powder and dissipating in the wind.

"No, how can this be!"

She struggled to stand up, but failed to notice that the road in front of her was no longer level, and after two steps, she fell to the ground.

"Hi, good evening, miss."

"Looks like your luck isn't very good; do you need a lucky charm?"

Not far away, a young man in a white lab coat sat on a machine, smiling and waving at Cocolia.

That machine was none other than the Scranton Reality Anchor.
