“Alright, hello there, Cocolia. I am the one who created the cave heaven. You can call me Baizhi.”
Bai Zhi floated to Cocolia's front, her head level with Cocolia's head.
"you?"
Cocolia stared at Bai Zhi in astonishment, the voice in her mind growing louder and louder.
“This little dwarf seems so unreliable, even comparing her height to yours. She’s just a child. Do you really think it’s a good thing for the future of Belloberg to be in the hands of such an unreliable person? What if she gets unhappy one day? The whole of Belloberg will suffer.”
"Why not use our own strength to create a perfect new world that is not afraid of the cold!"
A devilish whisper echoed in Cocolia's ears.
114. A wise person knows when to yield.
"Uh...."
Cocolia covered her head, her expression turning pained.
"Yes, how could these outsiders help the people of Belloberg without caring about anything? They must have ulterior motives. Besides, she's just a little kid. If she gets upset one day, Belloberg will be finished!"
"I'd rather create a brand new future myself."
Similar thoughts continued to grow and expand in Cocolia's mind, and then, under the influence of the Star Core, they turned into a raging storm that overwhelmed her entire mind.
"Die, outsider!"
Cocolia swung her spear, and the power of ice and snow erupted instantly, turning everything around her into an icy blue.
The ice spear, tens of feet high, condensed and immediately struck the spot where Bai Zhi had just stood. The ground shattered and rocks flew everywhere. At the same time, waves of cold shockwaves emanated, instantly turning many of the Silver Mane Iron Guards around into ice sculptures.
Seeing this terrifying scene, Bai Zhi, floating in the air, narrowed her eyes. To be honest, Cocolia's power was absolutely inconsistent with her appearance.
It can be said that if Cocolia were to take action herself, there would really be very few beings on the Yalilo 6 that could withstand her, including those rift creatures. Under the combined power of Cocolia's protection and the star core, they wouldn't last more than a few rounds.
If Cocolia had used this power to cleanse the rift, Yalilo 6 might have already returned to its original form.
At this moment, Cocolia was surrounded by an icy blue sun, like a god in extreme cold, exhaling terrifying cold air. Every attack she made was powerful and overwhelming, giving people the feeling that she was about to create the world.
Compared to Cocolia, who was empowered by both the protection and the star core, Bai Zhi's momentum was much weaker, but the dragon head phantom in the sky, exuding a domineering aura, gradually became more solid.
"Sister March 7th, Xing, and Brother Danheng, hold on a minute, let me see how the magical girls are doing~"
Bai Zhi reached out and stopped Dan Heng and the others from doing so. If these people attacked, how could she complete Aha's mission?
"Are they... alright?"
March 7 was a little hesitant.
"Whether it works or not, at least we won't die. Besides, we're just a bunch of passersby. If we don't give this planet its own power, it will probably be very difficult to deal with future crises."
"...It seems so."
March 7th nodded. She had seen many such things before. Sometimes, the worlds that the train crew had saved would fall back into a state of depravity after losing the powerful savior of the train crew.
"Then, it's time to prove your strength! Go, magical girls!"
With a wave of her hand, Bai Zhi imbued Bronya and Clara with the power of the dragon talisman.
Bronya:......
Bronya, who was suddenly blessed by the Dragon Talisman, was stunned. Looking at Cocolia who was attacking everyone, she didn't know whether to raise the rifle in her hand. After all, just a second ago, her mother seemed to be hesitant, but now she was like this.
The thought of successfully consoling someone hadn't completely faded from my mind.
But after seeing several more Silvermane Iron Guards frozen by the extreme cold caused by Cocolia, she gritted her teeth and raised her gun.
"boom!"
The bullets, a mixture of wind and fire, collided with Cocolia's ice shield. First, the wind element weakened the ice by one layer, and then the burning effect of Baizhi's dragon rune caused the ice shield to burst into flames.
The steam then spread throughout Cocolia's body, and a burst of extremely hot steam rose from her, constantly draining her power.
"Don't even think about taking away my hope!"
Cocolia was not afraid at all. With the support of the two powers, she shouted and the endless cold condensed into a huge ice spear. Then, under her control, it swept across the entire camp, and wherever it passed, it was as if a natural disaster had struck.
"Clara, quick, use that move! It's time to prove yourself!"
After Bai Zhi used several dog-shaped spells to save the lives of a few Silvermane Iron Guards, she shouted to Clara, who was hiding behind her.
"what...."
Clara, standing behind, looked at Cocolia, who seemed to have gone mad, and took two steps back in fear. After all, Cocolia's attack power and the shock she caused were incomparable to automatons and other people.
But then Clara stopped retreating, because she remembered that she had told Bai Zhi that she wanted to have the power to protect more people.
"Clara, be brave!"
Clara took a deep breath, and the dragon rune granted her immense power, allowing her to gather a large amount of energy in a short time. The crimson, scorching energy gathered into a spherical energy ball at the tip of her staff.
Looking at Cocolia, who was being entangled in various attacks in the distance, Clara closed her eyes and shouted, "Multi-dimensional Saturation Barrage!"
A torrent of energy erupted from the tip of the staff, a mixture of joy, destruction, and the power of Bai Zhi's dragon runes. In that instant, all the light of the Silvermane Iron Guard was obscured by this energy surge.
Cocolia was also covered up; the giant ice spear standing next to her was instantly melted, and she herself was inside it, not clearly visible.
"huhuhuhu"
After unleashing this attack, Clara collapsed to her knees, exhausted. Even though the effects of the Dragon Talisman were still ongoing, the energy required to unleash such a massive surge of energy through the unity of mind and body was not something that could be easily recovered.
Everyone looked toward the spot where Cocolia had just been.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Cocolia was kneeling on the ground, somewhat disheveled, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.
It was clear that even the Great Guardian of Belloborg was somewhat broken down; her eyes revealed confusion. If it had been Bai Zhi and the train crew, these outsiders, who had beaten her up like this, she could have accepted it, since they were visitors from outer space.
But what the heck is this magical girl thing?
If you didn't know better, you'd think this was some kind of comic book world. She's actually a major villain who needs to be defeated by a magical girl.
The bizarre art style made her feel disoriented.
“Mother...it’s not too late to surrender now. I really don’t want to hurt you anymore.”
Bronya sighed slightly, but at the same time, she also felt a little relieved. At least Cocolia was still alive, and her opponent had now witnessed her fighting strength. She should realize that continuing the fight was completely pointless.
As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances."
115 Fu Xuan: Give me orbital bombardment and troop assembly!
Yes, Cocolia was indeed very pragmatic, because the next moment, a thick layer of frost enveloped her, and then—*snap*
With the sound of ice and snow shattering, only the frost-covered shell remained in place.
Cocolia had actually run away, leaving everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment.
"She must have run to the location of the star core. I remember that the information provided by Schwarzro included the approximate location of the star core. Let's go after her!"
Bai Zhi nodded, then took off and flew towards the outskirts of the city, with the rest of the train crew following behind.
"Has Yalilo 6 arrived yet?"
On the massive bridge, a petite girl in a pink palace dress asked a soldier in a very assertive tone.
"Lord Taibu, the Yalilo 6 is about to arrive. What should we do next? Should we directly advance using the landing craft, or use orbital bombardment weapons to bombard the relevant targets?"
The soldier saluted, his words brief and concise.
"Proceed with both actions simultaneously. Have 1000 Cloud Cavalry soldiers land on the ground of Yalilo 6 using landing craft, take control of the local government, and establish an effective administrative system. Also, activate all the spaceship's sensors and keep an eye on Bai Zhilongnu's situation. If any threatening enemies are detected near her, immediately use orbital weapons for a precision strike!"
The girl in the pink palace dress skillfully directed the people around her, as if she were extremely familiar with the situation.
The person who appeared here was naturally Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner of Luofu Immortal Ship, but her expression was not as calm as before, but rather seemed somewhat anxious.
The reason for this urgency was, of course, that she was unable to use the Qiong Guan Zhen divination method to obtain information about Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi is a crucial figure in the future of the Immortal Ship. Even if she only gets a minor scratch, she should be treated as if she were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Normally, if they knew that Bai Zhi had appeared on this backward planet, the Immortal Ship fleet would probably have had to speed up and come over the next day. However, due to the broken star orbit, the fleet had to first sail to the last part of the broken star orbit, and then rely on the ship's own propulsion to come over.
This process took several days. This was the optimal speed that Fu Xuan had carefully calculated using the Qiong Guan Array, which could maintain the maximum speed without damaging the ship.
"Lord Taibu, we have entered the gravitational field of planet Yalilo 6. Sensors have detected every move in the only city on this planet."
Upon hearing the soldier's report, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What's the situation down there now? I need a precise summary."
"Please wait a moment, the relevant report will be sent shortly."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, another operator dressed in clerical uniform walked over with a stack of papers.
"Lord Taibu, this is the image transmitted by the detector. If the detector is correct, it seems that a battle has broken out below. The fluctuations of what appears to be the star core cast by the Ancestor of Destruction (the Star God of Destruction) are constantly emanating. The source of these fluctuations seems to be a huge energy aggregate creature."
"Hmm, and then?" Fu Xuan nodded. Bai Zhi had already mentioned that this planet had a star core, so she wasn't surprised.
"Ahem... Bai Zhilongnu seems to be fighting that energy-aggregating creature."
Seeing that Fu Xuan seemed somewhat indifferent, the operator offered a subtle reminder.
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening and raised his eyebrows. "Then what are you doing? Why don't you immediately use orbital bombardment and gather troops to help?"
"Fine... get the landing craft ready, I'm disembarking myself!"
"Okay, we'll get ready right away!"
Watching the Cloud Cavalry rush off to their tasks, Fu Xuan took a deep breath. She could understand why they weren't as excited as she was. After all, she hadn't revealed Bai Zhi's abilities, and the fleet's operations weren't something that could be executed immediately after being discussed; they required a certain amount of preparation time.
But she knew that if she revealed Bai Zhi's abilities, the Cloud Cavalry would probably roar and land in the landing craft without saying a word to beat up the star core ability aggregate.
But she couldn't say, because the Immortal Ship harbored many secrets of the Medicine King and spies from the Abundant People.
Meanwhile, aboard the Yalilo 6, Bai Zhi, the train crew, Bronya, Seele, and others are engaged in a fierce battle with Cocolia.
Unlike in the game, the real Cocolia is far more powerful. The cold winds surrounding her enormous energy body are constantly freezing the surrounding matter into powder. With every move she makes, it's as if absolute zero is present, freezing everything.
"What a terrifying attack! We must be careful. If she attacks any harder, the shield I created might not be able to withstand it at all."
March 7th shook his head, flicking away the ice crystals that were gradually forming on his head, and quickly drew his bow, attacking Cocolia.
"Is Cocolia out of her mind? She's allowing herself to combine so much star core energy!!" Dan Heng painfully blocked the massive frost slash, looking at Cocolia whose aura was still rising in confusion. Having experienced multiple worlds, he naturally knew that Cocolia was constantly increasing the proportion of star core energy in her body.
Star core energy is not infinitely extractable. Generally speaking, it depends on the potential and endurance of the person extracting it. As a great guardian who possesses the blessing of the city builders, Cocolia's endurance is indeed unmatched by ordinary people, but that does not mean that she can infinitely increase her power.
Her ever-growing size was something she could no longer bear.
"Peng!"
Cocolia swung her arm, sending Xing flying. Then, she launched a fierce attack towards Bai Zhi.
"How much do you hate me?"
Seeing that Cocolia was ignoring everyone else and attacking her directly, Bai Zhi complained as she flew.
"You little dwarf who has bewitched my daughter and my people, disappear from this world!"
Cocolia made a loud noise, which also raised Bai Zhi's blood pressure.
"Hey, who are you calling a shorty!"
Cocolia did not answer, but instead unleashed extreme cold from her hands, as if she wanted to swat Bai Zhi to death like a fly.
"I'm so angry! Don't think I don't have a temper!"
Faced with this situation, Bai Zhi not only did not run away, but also stopped in mid-air, her whole body glowing with a fiery red light.
"Snapped!"
Cocolia clasped her hands together and slapped Bai Zhi directly into it.
"Little Angelica!!" March 7th shouted anxiously upon seeing this.
"Heh heh, you little dwarf, this is the price you pay for bewitching my daughter and the people!"
Cocolia chuckled softly, "Next, I will create a brand new future!"
116 This place is now under the control of the Immortal Boat!
