Chapter 79 Star!
"Charge! Star!"
On the train.
Lu Li was so excited watching that he couldn't help but stand up and cheer for Xing.
Himeko and Welt, standing nearby, were also watching the screen nervously.
"This is too reckless," Walter said in a deep voice.
"But that's what pioneering is all about," Himeko said softly, her eyes gleaming. "Finding hope in the face of despair, creating possibility in the impossible."
Lu Li nodded in deep agreement.
Yes.
This is the group of main characters he's familiar with.
Never give up, always be passionate.
He watched the petite figure on the screen, running on the back of the steel behemoth, and a strange sense of pride welled up inside him.
see it?
Those were the pioneers of our train.
Awesome, right?
but……
Lu Li's gaze shifted to the woman atop the Creation Engine.
This is the most important turning point.
The real battle is about to begin.
……
"Don't even think about getting up here!"
Cocolia looked down at the rapidly approaching star, a ruthless glint in her eyes.
She manipulated the only remaining right arm of the creation engine and grabbed fiercely at the star that was climbing upwards!
The enormous mechanical hand blotted out the sky and arrived above Xing's head in an instant, accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air.
"Star, watch out!"
March 7th and Bronya below both exclaimed in surprise.
Xing suddenly looked up and was startled by the enormous hand coming towards him.
too fast!
There was no time to dodge!
Just at this critical moment, two figures shot in from below, one on the left and one on the right, and blocked Xing's path.
It's Danheng and Seele!
"Your opponent is us!"
With a sharp cry, Seele's scythe instantly grew larger, transforming into a massive blue blade of light that slashed upwards against the mechanical hand.
Dan Heng then planted the spear on the surface of the machine and formed hand seals.
A series of cyan wind blades appeared out of thin air and shot towards the wrist joint of the mechanical hand like a rainstorm.
"boom!"
The blue light blade collided violently with the mechanical hand, unleashing a blinding flash of light.
Seele let out a muffled groan, her entire body thrown backward by the enormous recoil.
Although Dan Heng's wind blade failed to sever the wrist, it did manage to momentarily halt the movement of the enormous hand.
It was this brief pause that bought the star the most precious time.
Without the slightest hesitation, she exerted force with her feet, her body passing through the gaps between the mechanical hand's fingers as she continued to surge upwards.
"hateful!"
Cocolia cursed and tried to manipulate her arm again.
But Danheng and Seele had already entangled themselves again, holding back the Creation Engine tightly.
She could only watch helplessly as the gray figure drew closer and closer to her.
Finally, after overcoming the last obstacle.
Xing leaped up and landed steadily on the flat top of the Creation Engine.
Ahead lies Cocolia.
"So you've come after all, outsider."
Cocolia looked at Xing, her face expressionless. "You're more resilient than I thought."
Xing didn't say anything, but silently gripped the cracked baseball bat in his hand and assumed a fighting stance.
She could sense that the woman in front of her was far more dangerous than when they had confronted each other before.
She was very familiar with the aura of violence and destruction emanating from her.
That's... the power of the star core?
Has Cocolia already fused with the Star Core?
Xing frowned slightly as she looked at Cocolia in front of her.
No, that's not right.
The star core is still below, so Cocolia has not yet merged with it.
So it was just a partial borrowing of the star core's power...?
What Xing didn't know was that her guess was pretty much right.
Because of Lu Li's reminder, the time for the final battle was brought forward.
This also means that Cocolia has not yet been completely corrupted and merged with the Star Core, and has not become the Mother of Illusions as in the original story.
She can only use a portion of the star core's power through her connection with it.
But Cocolia is a great guardian with extraordinary strength.
Even if she only borrowed a portion of the power of the star core, it would be enough to give her strength that surpasses that of ordinary people.
……
The summit of Yongdong Peak.
The battle between Hoshino and Cocolia is about to begin.
"drink!"
Xing launched the first attack.
She sprinted forward with her feet, charging towards Cocolia, and smashed the baseball bat in her hand towards Cocolia.
But Cocolia didn't even lift an eyelid in the face of this powerful blow.
The ice spear appeared instantly in his hand.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound of impact.
Xing felt an irresistible force coming from the baseball bat.
Xing frowned slightly, used the momentum to flip backward several times in the air before barely managing to steady herself and land on the ground.
Cocolia remained standing in the same spot, without even moving an inch.
Even the ice spear in her hand was completely intact.
Xing shook her numb arm and looked at the baseball bat in her hand.
So strong...
The weapon that had accompanied her all the way, smashing countless phantom soldiers and robots, was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The difference in skill was immediately apparent after just one encounter.
"Is that all?" Cocolia's voice came through. "It seems I overestimated you."
Before she finished speaking, her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Xing was startled, and the alarm bells went off.
She didn't even have time to think; she simply relied on her fighting instincts to hold the baseball bat horizontally in front of her.
"Bang!"
next moment.
Cocolia appeared before her, her ice gun precisely aimed at the center of the baseball bat.
"Snap!"
The baseball bat could no longer withstand the enormous force and snapped.
Xing's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
The gap is too big.
They're not even in the same league.
After borrowing the power of the Star Core, Cocolia's strength has reached an unbelievable level.
Whether in terms of strength or speed, he completely overwhelmed Xing.
"it's over."
Cocolia gave Xing no chance to catch her breath.
She held the ice spear high in her hand, its tip gleaming with a deadly cold light.
"Use your life as a gift to celebrate the birth of the new world."
Cocolia hurled her ice spear without hesitation.
The ice spear transformed into a streak of icy blue light, instantly piercing through the star with its piercing chill.
"Star!" x4
