the other side.
Himeko simultaneously pushed open the weapon box.
The weapon crate unfolded on the snow, transforming into a sophisticated operating terminal.
"The stellar core is established and parasitized through special mental wavebands."
"Mr. Walter, please sever the physical connection, and I will sever the mental bond."
Himeko's fingers flew across the control panel.
The red force field net spread out, trapping Cocolia in the center, and the intelligent algorithm began to reverse-analyze the star core frequency.
"Star, use the Flame Spear in coordination with me to inject the stored energy into the grid nodes to fill the gaps left by the stripped star core. Otherwise, she will become a vegetable due to the draining of her spirit," Himeko commanded.
Xing nodded, gripped the Flame Spear, and walked to the net.
The tip of the gun touched the node, and a warm, amber-colored current flowed in continuously.
Pulled by the dual forces, Cocolia let out a piercing cry of pain.
The star core resisted fiercely, its purple energy tentacles clinging tightly to Cocolia.
It has a self-preservation instinct.
It is about to be sealed away.
Once it loses its host, its nearly thousand-year-old plan on this planet will be completely ruined.
"No... promises... promises for the future..." Cocolia murmured.
"Promises are important, but..." Walter glanced at Cocolia in front of him and increased his output, "False promises are meaningless."
As the gravitational field contracts, space appears to bend.
Everyone could see the purple tentacles connecting the star core to Cocolia's back breaking off one by one.
"Final pulse, prepare," Himeko shouted.
As a high-frequency red light swept across, Xing's fiery spear forcefully pierced the center of the node.
Purple, red, and amber streams of light collided in mid-air.
boom--!
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone understood it.
The connection between Cocolia and the Star Core... has been completely severed.
The star core emitted a silent shriek as it was forcibly dragged out by the gravitational field.
Walter's black hole shrank, trapping the crystal tightly inside the sealed sphere.
After losing the connection to the star core, Cocolia collapsed, completely exhausted.
The surrounding wind and snow stopped.
The summit of Yongdong Peak has returned to calm.
Only the mess on the ground and the unconscious woman lying on the floor proved that the thrilling battle just now was not a dream.
"it's over……"
Looking at the scene before him, March 7th murmured to himself.
"Okay, it's over."
Dan Heng nodded.
Seele released her grip on the scythe and plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
The battle just now had almost exhausted all her strength.
Xing put away the Flame Spear and walked to Cocolia's side.
She crouched down and reached out to check Cocolia's breath.
"She's still breathing," Xing said, turning to look at Bronya.
"She survived."
Bronya's body jolted violently.
Looking at the woman lying on the ground, pale but still beautiful, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and they welled up in her eyes.
She stumbled over and threw herself at Cocolia, pulling her into a tight embrace.
"Mother……"
Bronya burst into tears.
"Mother, I'm sorry..."
"sorry……"
Cocolia's fingers twitched slightly.
She slowly opened her eyes, and those eyes, which had once been stained purple by the star core, had returned to their original azure blue.
Bewitched by the Star Core, he launched a plan to fulfill his promise and forced Bronya to make a choice.
And... the ice spear that finally pierced the outsider flashed through her mind.
She looked at her daughter, who was holding her and crying, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
I feel guilty and regretful.
But more than anything, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
"Bro...Nia..."
Cocolia's voice was as weak as a wisp of smoke.
"Don't cry..."
"Crying...makes you look bad..."
Cocolia wanted to raise her hand and wipe away her daughter's tears, just like she did when she was a child.
But she had no strength left.
"Mother!"
Bronya was both surprised and delighted to see her awake.
"How are you feeling?"
"I……"
Cocolia looked at her daughter's tear-streaked face and a weak smile slowly appeared on her lips.
"I think I... had a very, very long dream..."
"In my dream, I became a cold and ruthless monster..."
"No, you're not." Bronya shook her head, pressing her hand to her face. "You're not a monster, you're my only mother."
Seele, however, spoke up irritably through the Creation Engine, "Calling you a monster wouldn't be wrong; you almost buried us all here."
"If it weren't for your strong astrological destiny and your cognitive breakdown, the lower district would be flattened by now."
Cocolia looked at the gray sky above her head, and at Hoshino holding a fire spear, March 7 carrying a bow, and the girl from the lower district holding a scythe.
Although Seele's tone was sharp and full of dissatisfaction.
But no one looked at her with murderous intent; their gazes were more complex.
"[Preservation]...in the end, they didn't abandon us." Cocolia laughed self-deprecatingly. "So, it turns out I've been the one blinded, unable to see the real things all along..."
"Bronya..."
Cocolia slowly closed her eyes.
"I'm so tired..."
"I want to... take a nap..."
"Okay, go to sleep." Bronya wiped away her tears and smiled. "I'll stay here with you."
"We'll go home after you wake up."
"Home……"
Cocolia murmured the word, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
"good……"
"We...go home..."
With Cocolia's defeat, this pioneering journey has finally come to an end.
Xing put away the Flame Spear and returned to March 7's side.
"I'm exhausted." March 7th slumped onto the snow. "I'm definitely going to have Lu Li cook a big meal when we get back."
Walter walked over and handed the gravity ball containing the star core to Himeko.
"Thanks to Uncle Yang and Sister Ji, you appeared at just the right time," March 7th said eagerly.
"No, this time it's all thanks to Hoshi." Himeko looked at Hoshi and smiled. "We saw it all from the car. It was your wit and will that turned the tide of the battle."
Xing scratched her head sheepishly, "No, it's all thanks to Lu Li's initial reminder that I noticed Cocolia's unusual behavior."
"But now that the star core has been sealed, Beloberg should be out of danger, right?"
Himeko nodded. "The star core is sealed. Although the rifts won't disappear immediately, their expansion will stop."
"Although I don't know how long it will take, one day all the rifts here will disappear."
As she spoke, Himeko looked at the sealed sphere, "Next, we need to take it back to the train and seal it in a safe place. Then the crisis of Arilo-VI will be completely over."
