Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

Cocolia was silent for a second.

"...Okay, they've run away."

Hiluva laughed, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Still the same as before, refusing to admit it to the death."

Cocolia looked down at the teacup in her hand, the steam blurring her features.

“Hiluva”.

"Ok?"

"sorry."

Hiluva paused in her movements.

She looked at Cocolia, at this woman who never said "I'm sorry," who was now bowing her head like a child who had done something wrong.

She opened her mouth, then closed it again.

There's so much I want to say.

I want to ask, "Why did you kick me out of the city builders?" I want to ask, "Why did you seal off the lower districts?" I want to ask, "What have you been thinking all these years?"

But seeing Cocolia with her head down, those words seemed unimportant.

She simply picked up her teacup and lightly touched the rim of Cocolia's cup.

"Have some tea."

Cocolia looked up.

Hiluva smiled.

"Tea doesn't taste good when it gets cold."

Cocolia looked at her for a long time.

Then she smiled too.

The two men each held their teacups and remained silent for a while.

Outside the window, the wind and snow howled, while inside, only the steam from the tea rose slowly under the lamplight.

After hesitating for a moment, Hiluva finally spoke.

"Did Bronya say anything to you when she went back today?"

Cocolia smiled but did not answer.

She held the teacup, her fingertips slowly circling the rim.

After a long while, she said:

“Silva, soon I will step down as High Warden and let Bronya succeed me.”

Hiluva was stunned for a moment, and almost dropped her teacup.

Just as she was about to ask something, Cocolia continued:

“Bronya has been affirmed by the will of ‘preservation’.”

"She put that lance, which has been passed down for seven hundred years, back into service."

Hiluva's mouth dropped open.

She wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

She naturally recognized that lance as well.

The weapon was passed down through generations of guardians, but it was completely frozen starting from a certain generation, and no one could awaken it.

Seven hundred years.

Something that no one has been able to do in seven hundred years.

Bronya did it.

After a long silence, Hiluva finally spoke:

"Bronya... has indeed changed a lot."

Her tone carried an indescribable emotion.

"I'm telling you..."

Hiluva started talking.

From the moment Bronya asked her to do something in the morning, to their journey to the lower districts, to Bronya persuading Schwarz...

As she spoke, she gestured, and the more Cocolia listened, the wider the smile in her eyes became.

She didn't interrupt, but listened quietly, occasionally taking a sip of her tea and chuckling softly.

"This child..."

She said it in a low voice, so softly that it seemed as if she was afraid of being overheard.

The two chatted more and more happily, as if they had returned to a time many years ago when they could talk about anything.

The city besieged by wind and snow, the heavy burden on her shoulders, and the secret hidden in her heart were all temporarily put down at this moment.

After a long while, Hiluva said with a smile:

"Would you like to come with me to find that Dr. Vah tomorrow? After all, your daughter asked me to make something like that, and I really don't have a clue what to do right now. If you, as the Great Guardian, were to step in, things should go more smoothly."

Cocolia raised an eyebrow.

"it is good."

She did not hesitate.

Hiluva was taken aback, clearly not expecting her to agree so readily.

Then she laughed, a very happy laugh.

Then, the two fell silent for a while.

The sound of wind and snow outside was faint, and the clock on the wall ticked away.

Cocolia coughed lightly.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now. You should get some rest too."

Hiluva shrugged and stood up.

"I'll send it to you!"

Cocolia did not refuse.

The two walked out of the machine shop together.

A cold wind swept across my face; the snow had lessened somewhat, but it was still falling.

Cocolia tightened her collar, about to say something,

A man dressed in a silver-maned iron guard uniform was running hurriedly toward Kripper Fort, his steps frantic.

Hiluva recognized him and raised her hand in greeting:

"Den, what's the rush?"

Deng En looked in the direction of the sound, paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and ran to the two of them.

He was panting heavily, his face flushed red from the wind, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

"Lady Cocolia, Shiluva,"

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice, but he still couldn't suppress his panic.

"A huge mechanical monster has appeared over in the snowfield, and its movements are unknown! The brothers are keeping an eye on it, but that thing is too big, and we don't know what it wants to do."

He swallowed.

"I've come to ask for backup!"

Cocolia's expression changed instantly.

"Mechanical monster?"

"Yes! It's near Yongdong Territory, rising up from the valley, taller than the city walls!"

Cocolia and Hiluva exchanged a glance.

The two said in unison,

"Creation Engine?"

Chapter 51 I'm so incredibly excited!

"Little Core, how are you? Can you hold on?"

Lin Si stood on the shoulder of the Creation Engine, holding the crimson lance in her hand, and spoke to the surrounding air.

"Uncle, this little bit of energy is nothing to me!"

The star core's voice was ethereal and elusive, but its tone carried a hint of smugness.

"This thing is a bit old-fashioned, the joints creak and groan, like it hasn't been oiled in seven hundred years."

Lin Si's lips twitched.

It hasn't been oiled in seven hundred years; it's a miracle it can even stand up, yet it's still being picky.

The creation engine slowly got up.

The 800-meter-tall body rose from the valley, snow sliding down its shoulder armor and splashing into a white mist on the ground.

Lin Si steadied herself by grabbing a nearby support and looked down.

Very high.

very high.

It was so high that he felt he could fly straight up into the sky if he just let go.

But there was no fear in his eyes, only undisguised excitement.

No man can resist driving a Gundam, and Lin Si is no exception.

From this moment forward, everyone stand up!

He announced it!

Belleberg is the best map in the game, bar none.

Even with future updates, this map will never be as fun!

Because......

He seemed to have returned to the days when he fought alongside Optimus Prime on Cybertron. (laughs)

Even the Celestial Ship doesn't have such a massive mechanical behemoth that's 800 meters tall!

Perhaps it is possible, but he doesn't know.

Anyway, he had never heard of any giant mechs being hidden in any warehouse in Luofu.

Bronya watched all of this in her consciousness, and she didn't know what to say.

She watched as the Demon King made the Star Core obey with just a few words, watched the mechanical behemoth stand up in his hands, and watched him stand eight hundred meters in the air, laughing like a child who had received a new toy.

It's always like this.

What seemed like a very difficult problem to her could be solved very easily by the Demon King.

The mother said she could control the creation engine and that there was no need to worry about energy issues.

But as a daughter, she understands her mother very well.

When Cocolia said those words, there was clearly a sense of "death" in her eyes.

That wasn't the look of someone about to do something great; it was the look of someone ready to give themselves away.

Moreover, her mother talked to her a lot today, about the Creation Engine, about the Rift, and about Belloberg's future.
