Collapse Iron: Cosplaying the Near-Death Star, but with a full destiny.

Don't rush to conclusions.

Xing was not deterred by the messenger's fatalistic rejection.

She twirled the chalk in her hand, and the golden light on the tip of the pencil became even more dazzling.

"The real boss hasn't shown up yet."

"That big iron block was just a gatekeeper."

"Next..."

Xing's eyes sharpened.

"Let me show you what we'll finally face."

The pen tip falls.

The image is shattered.

The dimly lit lower level collapsed instantly, like a shattered mirror.

Instead, a howling blizzard struck.

A blizzard a hundred times more intense than before.

The messenger felt as if he had been thrown into a giant wind tunnel.

It struggled to maintain its balance, its six legs gripping the ground tightly.

The wind here is so strong it can blow a person away.

When it was finally able to open its eyes and see its surroundings.

It was stunned.

This is a platform located at an extremely high altitude.

All around were bottomless cliffs.

And in front of the platform.

A colossal object, large enough to blot out the sky, stood tall.

That's the creation engine.

The ultimate weapon left behind by the city builders.

A steel giant with two enormous mechanical arms, hundreds of meters tall.

Its upper body emerged from the wind and snow, resembling a moving mountain peak.

Each finger was thicker than the largest true cricket the messenger had ever seen.

"this……"

The messenger looked up.

My neck is about to break from looking up.

"This was also...made by you?"

"Under this kind of gravity?"

"Impossible! This violates the limits of materials science! A machine of this size simply cannot support its own weight!"

It cannot understand.

How could a civilization that can't even leave its planet create such a planetary weapon?

"That's a miracle."

Nihoshi walked up to it.

"Or rather, it is the power of preservation."

Before the envoy could even process this enormous shock...

On the shoulders of that giant.

A woman's figure appeared.

Cocolia.

The Great Guardian of Belloberg.

At this moment, she was no longer the dignified leader she once was.

A huge ice crystal spear floated behind her.

His eyes emitted a purple light, as if they had been eroded by the star's core.

That sense of oppression.

It's even more terrifying than that enormous creation engine.

And opposite her.

Star, Danheng, March 7th.

There was also a silver-haired girl holding a rifle.

"That is...?"

The messenger pointed to the silver-haired girl.

It remembered that in the previous scene, this group of people were wanted criminals, being chased around by this group of people in blue clothes.

Bronya.

"That's what Hoshi explained."

"The daughter of the Great Guardian. The future heir."

"She was the pursuer before."

"But now, she's on our side."

"That's called taking a stand."

"When you see the truth and understand what true protection is, even enemies can become your most reliable allies."

The battle has begun.

This is not even in the same league.

When the Creation Engine slammed down, the entire platform shook.

Cocolia summoned ice spikes that rained down like a storm.

The power of the star's core is overflowing wildly, attempting to freeze all life.

The messenger's antennae trembled at the sight.

too strong.

The power that woman displayed had exceeded its understanding of carbon-based life forms.

That was no ordinary person.

That is God.

Or perhaps it's a demon.

"This power..."

The messenger muttered to himself.

"How could you possibly win?"

"This gap... is like an ant trying to challenge an elephant."

It's as if it's to confirm its guess.

The situation in the battle took a sharp turn for the worse.

The Creation Engine's powerful punch shattered everyone's formation.

Cocolia seized the opportunity.

The spear in her hand materialized, and she aimed it at the star that was charging at the very front.

puff.

The ice spear pierced through his body.

Xing flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground.

Blood stained the white snow.

"It's over."

The envoy's heart skipped a beat.

It looked at the star beside it (the one it was looking at now).

Then I looked at the star (from the past) lying motionless in a pool of blood.

"This...this is the ending?"

"You...lost?"

It's not surprising.

They even think this is the only reasonable approach.

When the weak challenge the strong, the inevitable result is destruction.

This is the law of the universe.

But Hoshi laughed.

She looked at the fallen figure.

There was no sadness in his eyes.

All we can do is wait and see.

"Don't blink."

"It's a soft voice," said Hoshino.

"The real show... has only just begun."

Just when the messenger thought it was all over.

The figure lying on the ground.

It suddenly moved.

He did not struggle to get up.

Instead... it floated up.

A golden flame.

It ignited within the star's body.

The ice spear that pierced his chest melted instantly.

The flames were not scorching, but they possessed a weighty, mountain-like quality.

at the same time.

That blizzard that has been enveloping the entire planet, seemingly never to dissipate.

It's come to a standstill.

An indescribable pressure descended from the sky.

The messenger felt his knees buckle, and all six legs collapsed to the ground.

That kind of pressure wasn't directed at it.

But even the aftershocks were enough to send shivers down the spine of this creature, which had never seen a "god" before.

It raised its head.

Look into the void.

there.

Above that snowy landscape.

A huge wall, made of amber light, vaguely appeared.

And behind that wall.

It has one eye.

Slowly opened her eyes.

It was an eye so huge it could not be measured.

It watched over this small battlefield.

I gaze at that tiny human being, who, even in dire straits, still wanted to protect his companions.

Cripper.

Protector of the Star God.

King of Amber.

He glanced at it.

Just one glance.

boom!!!

Golden flames condensed in Xing's hand.

It transformed into a burning spear.

Flame Spear.

Xing gripped the gun handle.

The wounds on his body healed in the flames.

Her long, silver-gray hair, which had been casually draped over her shoulders, now danced in the heat.

She opened her eyes.

Those golden eyes were now burning with a raging fire powerful enough to melt the entire world.

"This works?!"

The envoy was dumbfounded.

This is completely beyond its comprehension.

"Resurrection? Creation out of thin air? That's not scientific! Did they eat the law of conservation of energy?"

"This is fate."

Nguyen Mai looked at that figure.

His eyes held a hint of fanaticism.

"When an individual's will is strong enough to resonate with the star gods."

"A miracle... will happen."

"This is a leap in the level of life."

"It is an evolution from mortal to a pathfinder."

The battle that followed.

There is no suspense.

Star wielding a flaming spear.

Like a falling shooting star.

With unparalleled momentum, it charged toward the enormous creation engine.

that moment.

The image freezes.

A tiny girl.

Huge machinery.

The burning flames collided with the cold steel.

This is... a world-famous painting.

With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The creation engine's arm was shattered.

Cocolia's shield was breached.

The power of the star core was completely suppressed by that pure protective fire.

Snow and wind.

Stopped.

The images in my memory slowly faded away.

We returned to that steam-filled gate.

But that kind of shock.

But it lingered for a long time.

Messenger 7582 lay prone on the ground.

It took him a long time to get up.

Its compound eyes were still trembling slightly, as if it was still reliving the scene from just now.

"That...that big-eyed one..."

The messenger asked, stammering.

"What is that?"

"Why...why is He looking at you?"

Why does He give you strength?

It doesn't understand.

In its mind, gods should be high above, indifferent and ruthless.

Like that red dwarf star that is about to go out.

No matter how they pray or struggle.

It is still slowly dying, and still cannot stop the invasion of the swarm.

"Because of the sound."

Xing put away the chalk.

He patted the dust off his clothes.

"As long as your voice is loud enough."

"As long as your will is strong enough."

Even that Amber King who only knows how to build walls all day long.

"I can't help but turn around and look at you."

She walked up to the messenger.

Looking down at it.

"so."

"Don't say things like 'we're just insects'."

"Don't say things like 'Gods don't care about mortals'."

"The gods truly do not care."

"But if you do something that even the gods think, 'Wow!'"

"They will lend you their strength."

"Do you understand?"

Xing flicked the messenger's antennae.

Even insects.

"As long as you want to fly."

"It can also grow wings."

The messenger covered his antennae.

Staring blankly at the stars.

It felt that its "philosophy of survival," which had been stable for thousands of years, was collapsing.

original……

Is it possible to do it this way?

It turns out that despair is not the end.

It turns out that in this universe, there is a force called "will" that can transcend matter.

"but……"

Changyeyue suddenly spoke.

She twirled the parasol, a glint of expectation in her red eyes.

"Is that all?"

"I think this little bug is a bit shaken, but it's not completely convinced yet."

"after all……"

She glanced around at the scenery.

"It's still just spinning around on this planet."

"Your vision is too narrow."

She looked at the star.

"Since we're going to show it off..."

"Then let it see."

"What it longs for day and night, what it dreams of..."

"The outside world."

Hoshi nodded.

She understood what Changyeyue meant.

Defeating the BOSS only proves your strength.

We must truly break down the closed-mindedness of this race.

They need to see it...

Just how amazing is this universe?

"Hold on tight."

Hoshi reached out and grasped the messenger's still trembling forelimb.

"this time……"

"We're going to go to farther places."

hum-

The space of memory fluctuates once again.

The snow in Belleburg dissipated.

Instead.

It's a...

A silver starry sea full of futuristic and technological feel.

The Immortal Boat of Luofu.
