From the Queen's Descends, Collapse Douluo

Chapter 286 Arillow Returns

The vacuum of the universe outside the sky was torn apart once again, and Lu Xueling led Cocolia and Tingyun out of the void.

The Honkai God lowered his eyes and gazed at the planet beneath his feet, a planet that had once passed His test and witnessed the miracle of [humanity]. "A little late... but it's not a big problem... Tingyun."

"Yes," Tingyun, who had completely transformed, replied.

Lu Xueling crossed his arms, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "This is your first mission, and it will be a bit difficult. I need you to play the role of a major villain... but try not to harm the natives during this time."

Aboriginal people?
Fox-people are naturally sharp-minded. The moment she heard the words, Tingyun guessed Lu Xueling's intention. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes, General Yunjue."

"As for Cocolia... you will remain on standby for now."

"……Yes."

Dilili~
It was a peculiar sound, but it didn't come from Lu Xueling's jade omen; rather...

"The Black Swan card?" Lu Xueling took out the tarot card he used to contact this Miss Memory, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Since the black swan chose to contact me proactively, that proves...

“General Fallen One, I have discovered the trail of the sea patrolman you mentioned, near the Eternal Flame Mansion.”

"Okay, I'll be right there." After hanging up, Lu Xueling's expression showed a slight increase in excitement.

He took a deep breath, put away the tarot cards, and coughed twice. "I have some other things to take care of. You guys are free to do as you please. Cocolia, I allow you to show up before Tingyun makes a move, but you can't reveal your identity."

Cocolia, who was initially a little disappointed, was overjoyed upon hearing this. She nodded vigorously and thanked the Black Swan lady she had never met before dozens of times.

(A peerless goose!)

Belloberg, inside Klipperberg.

“I completely understand your predicament, Miss Great Guardian. Belloberg’s current financial difficulties are not because of you, nor are they caused by anyone else in the city.”

Toppa stood calmly in front of Bronya, arms crossed, followed by two company employees carrying long guns.

Even though she was standing at the bottom of the steps, her condescending aura made Bronya tremble.

"But to be fair, since Belloberg has survived as an independent polity to this day, this debt cannot be written off as a bad debt... That's my job."

Before Bronya could speak on the stage, the doorknob of the High Warden's office turned, and March 7 and Star walked in.

Topa also timely withdrew some of his sharpness, saying, "It seems we have an important visitor."

“Bronya…and Miss Topa is here too?” March was pleasantly surprised; the silly girl thought the two were discussing some wonderful collaboration.

Bronya looked at them, unsure of what to say, and could only manage a forced smile, "Yes, it's been a long time."

Seeing this, Toppa didn't say much, only leaving one sentence: "Miss Great Guardian, please seriously consider my proposal. If Yalilo VI wants to reconnect with the galaxy in the future, your credit record with the company will be extremely important."

Bronya's beautiful eyes closed and opened again, and she took a deep breath. "I understand, Miss Topa. I will... I need time to think about it."

Topa didn't reply, but turned and left with his subordinates, while March 7th stood there dumbfounded. Xing Xiao's face was serious as she stared at Topa's departing figure, then she said, "I think I heard the word 'debt'."

“Um… welcome back, both of you.” Bronya’s tone sounded somewhat strained. “I’m sorry, I was planning to give you a warm welcome. But the appearance of that lady who claimed to be the company’s ‘ambassador’ disrupted my thoughts. To be honest, I don’t have the energy to think about the Sun Festival anymore…”

Bronya explained Topa's purpose: 700 years ago, Beloberg borrowed money from the Interstellar Peace Corporation to fight against the Star Core, but less than a century later, Yalilo VI completely lost contact. It was already a bad debt, but later… perhaps because the battle against the Herrscher of the Outer Heavens was so earth-shattering, news of Yalilo VI's continued existence was detected by the Interstellar Peace Corporation's radar, so they sent Topa to collect the debt.

"This..." March 7th looked conflicted after hearing this. "This is so unreasonable!"

Xing thought for a moment, then smiled optimistically, "Looks like the nameless guest will be involved again."

March 7th nodded in agreement: "Yes, the company is so powerful, Bellberg alone definitely can't handle it!"

Bronya's furrowed brows finally relaxed a little, and she looked at Xing gratefully, "Thank you all. I'm so sorry to have dragged you all into trouble again..."

The young Great Guardian sat down again, wearily rubbing his forehead. "I... I should also think about a solution. You two, please be careful..."

Xing said with some concern, "Take care of yourself."

The two nameless guests rushed off to find Topa. Bronya picked up the water glass on the table, tilted her head back and gulped down several mouthfuls. Her heavy eyelids finally succumbed to the pressure and slowly closed.

"Star Core... Outer Space... Collapse... Company... Belloberg, how many more calamities are there to come?" The frail girl slumped in her chair, a tear streaming from the corner of her eye.

"Mother... are you still alive? I miss you so much..."

Belloberg, snowy region.

Dozens of company employees, armed with advanced ice-breaking and detection equipment, are making their way through the snow. Everyone is fully equipped, yet they dare not relax for a moment.

Because in front of them was a frozen antimatter legion of soldiers.

"More than 100 illusory soldiers, Level 2 alert. These monsters could break through the ice at any moment," a massive AI team leader ordered after scanning the area.

"Yes, team leader."

With everyone's weapons fully charged, the three of them carefully traversed the glacier, trying to avoid reviving the monsters and causing the ice to break apart.

Click.

After a long while, a crisp sound came from a certain direction, and a company employee holding a light energy gun waved his hand, "Team leader, there's something wrong here!"

"What?" The AI ​​team leader rushed over and saw a block of ice about five meters long surrounded by a group of virtual soldiers. Frozen in the center was a burly man who was at least two meters tall, covered in thick metal armor and holding a huge shield.

Compared to his former burial, the man who has now seen the light of day again exudes a more resolute aura, and even his frozen eyes still radiate a sharp luster.

"Could this be... a local person who was frozen in ice 700 years ago?"

An employee holding a detector aimed it at the man in the ice and began to examine him carefully. He exclaimed, "Team leader, this man... has very obvious Amber King's blessing on him! What should we do with him?"

The AI ​​team leader thought for a moment, "Take him back to... Director Topa's place, and tell him we found a strong native from 700 years ago."
