Collapse Iron Cosplay Battle Damaged Star Spinal Cut - Everyone Cries to Death

Xing was idly picking at a piece of bone marrow stuck between his teeth.

It gets stuck in my teeth a bit.

I ate too fast just now. I should have asked Danheng to grind it into powder and mix it with water.

……

"Let's get down to business."

Natasha broke the eerie atmosphere.

She spread a simple map on the table and pointed to the red circle on it.

"The situation in the major mining areas is not optimistic."

"Recently, that big guy—Swarovski—has suddenly sealed off the entire depths of the mine."

"All the vagrants and miners were driven out."

"Many people are fighting over the mine... The number of wounded is increasing every day."

Natasha sighed, her eyes weary.

"If we don't find a way to persuade Schwarzro... the lower districts might riot."

"Seele and I need to head over to see Swallow soon, you guys..."

"Let's go too!"

Dan Heng put away the handkerchief and gripped the Cloud-Striking Spear tightly again.

"We need to find clues about the star core, and Schwarzkopf is a key figure we can't ignore."

"Count me in."

Bronya, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

She looked at the map, her expression complex.

"I want to meet that... Mr. Schwarzlo."

"I want to see with my own eyes what kind of 'order' drives people to this dead end."

"ha?"

Seele sneered, crossed her arms, and glanced at her sideways.

"Princess, that kind of place is full of machine oil and rust, and there are those mindless robots."

"Aren't you worried about getting that nice uniform dirty?"

Bronya did not refute.

She simply turned her head away.

His gaze fell on Xing in the corner.

The girl was sitting there quietly, head down, seemingly lost in thought.

The tattered trench coat hung on her body, unable to conceal the hideous scars beneath.

At her feet lay the remaining bits of earth marrow she had just gnawed on.

Bronya's heart clenched painfully.

She remembered how Xing had used herself as a human cushion to fall into the rubble in order to save her.

I remembered how she had to devour ore like a wild beast just to survive.

"I have already..."

Bronya clenched her fists, her voice low but carrying an unprecedented determination.

"...There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

"Compared to the suffering she endured..."

"What's a little bit of engine oil?"

star:"?"

Xing, who was secretly picking at the stone chips between her teeth with her fingernails, keenly sensed that someone was watching her.

She looked up.

He met Bronya's eyes, which were filled with guilt, heartache, and a certain painful resolve.

Xing blinked.

Is this ever going to end?

Why are you still looking at me?

Is there something dirty on my face?

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Since you all want to go, let's pack our bags and get going."

With that, Natasha slung her medicine kit over her shoulder and prepared to lead the group to the mining area.

"etc."

Danheng suddenly stopped.

He turned around and stood in front of Xing.

That face, usually as cold as ice, was now filled with an unprecedented seriousness.

"star."

"Look at me."

Dan Heng reached out and pressed down hard on Xing's shoulder.

Powerful.

Even Xing was a little dazed from being pinched.

"?"

Xing raised her head and looked at Dan Heng with a blank expression.

The usually expressionless, cold-faced guard now had a terrifyingly serious look in his eyes as he stared into her gaze and said, word by word:

"This time, when I go to see Schwarzro, no matter what happens..."

"No matter how the other side provokes us, or what kind of battle we face..."

"Absolutely, absolutely, you are not allowed to make a move!"

star:"??"

Why?

I just finished eating.

Especially now, inside this body... I feel incredibly strong right now!

Seemingly sensing her confusion, Danheng's tone became even more stern, even carrying a trembling plea.

"You're not allowed to break your own bones anymore."

"You're not allowed to use your body to block bullets or ram into shields!"

Your body is not a consumable item!

Even if the sky were to fall...

Dan Heng took a deep breath and tightened the collar of Xing's drafty shirt.

"This time... it's our turn to protect you."

"Did you understand?!"

March 7th also came over from the side.

Her eyes were red, clearly still shaken by the memory of Xing's miraculous resurrection.

"Yes! Xing, you must be obedient!"

"If you dare to hurt yourself in front of us again... I'll... I'll cry right now! I'll also write everything you've done these past few days in my diary and send it to Himeko-nee!"

Xing blinked.

She looked at the two of them, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

I felt a little helpless.

Wasn't Danheng quite aloof before?

Why are you acting like an old woman now?

The things they said were also strange.

Disassembling bones? How could I possibly disassemble my own bones?

Who would hurt themselves during a fight? That would be crazy.

"Buzz... (Okay, okay.)"

Xing nodded somewhat perfunctorily, raised her hand, and made a perfectly standard "OK" gesture.

Seeing her nod, Danheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good... Don't worry, we'll definitely protect you this time."

……

Mechanical settlement.

This is a restricted area in the lower district of Belleburg.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of engine oil and the cold rusty smell.

Countless scrapped parts of automated machine guns lay piled up like corpses along the roadside.

Repressed.

Icy.

There was no sign of life.

"It's just ahead."

Seele lowered her voice and gripped the scythe tightly.

The group turned a huge corner.

In front.

On a huge platform.

A little girl wearing a red coat and barefoot is standing in the wind and snow.

And behind her.

A giant robot, as tall as a small mountain and radiating a cold metallic luster, stood there.

Schwarzlo.

They seemed to have sensed the arrival of the intruders.

The giant robot slowly turned around.

A massive robotic arm hung at its side, and a single red electronic eye lit up in the wind and snow, instantly locking onto everyone present.

"Unknown target detected."

Cold, emotionless, mechanical synthesized sounds echoed in the empty settlement.

"Clara, step back."

Schwarz took a step forward.

The earth was trembling.

A red light flashed, revealing a murderous intent.

"Leave this place."

"Or... be completely erased."
