Wanjie plays Collapse Iron: It is very simple to fill it in next time

Einstein sighed weakly again: "I'm not praising you."

…………

[As they advanced, they encountered the shadowy figures of Bronya and Cocolia again.]

Sanyueqi smacked his lips. "Shh! Is this also an afterimage?"

Dan Heng nodded. "That's right. The rift here seems to have a special connection with Cocolia, and it's repeatedly reproducing her image."

As the group approaches, Bronya's voice resounds:

"I don't understand... If the truth is as you say, then every guardian in the past few hundred years has resisted the call of the star core..."

Bronya asks: "Did they all do something wrong, Mother?"

[Cocolia looked down at him and scolded:]

"Don't you see clearly, Bronya? There's no right or wrong here. There's only human arrogance and shortsightedness."

"Our ancestors—including Alisa Rand—burned their lives to continue this civilization, then fell into silence, their memories blown away by the wind and snow."

"They have spent their lives composing paeans to human courage, but have never found time to gaze at the stars."

"A thousand years of time is but a drop in the ocean compared to the greater existence in the starry sky. The achievements of a tiny race are of no note."

[Cocolia's tone was full of determination:]

"I won't make the same mistake they made, walking on a dead end and wallowing in self-pity. If persistence is doomed to failure, then I'll choose a fresh start."

Bronya loudly retorted, "But, the Protector Krippo—isn't He one of the magnificent beings you mentioned? Isn't it His power that has been protecting Beloberg?"

Kokolia scoffed, "Protecting? Has anyone ever looked a human in the eye? That's just the city builders' self-righteous wishful thinking."

"You will hear the true voice of grandeur, Bronya... and then you will understand my choice."

…………

"Dead end...?"

Tanya's War World, Tanya muttered to herself in confusion.

Faced with 'Existence X' who can influence the thinking of the top leaders of both sides by showing miracles, can she really return to the rear safely?

Will this war, which is not sure whether it is the First World War or the Second World War, really stop?

Tanya gritted her teeth and said viciously:

"Even if Existence X can't directly tamper with human consciousness, as long as we can continue to win, one day we will make it helpless..."

…………

Collapse of the world,

In Giza, Egypt, at the headquarters of Shencheng Medicine, a World Serpent cadre named Jackal, with golden eyes, brown skin, and brown curly hair, nodded imperceptibly.

"Cocolia, I can kind of understand your thoughts."

"but……"

The jackal raised the corner of his mouth and sneered mercilessly:

"...Your plan isn't even a hair's breadth away from the Stigmata Plan."

At least in the Stigmata Project, the "old humans" can still have a sweet dream.

Chapter 150: Echoes of Cocolia

Sanyueqi was surprised, "This enemy is very different! If I didn't know it was a product of the Rift, I would have thought it was fighting humans."

Dan Heng's expression was also solemn. "Unlike the low-level Rift Creatures that randomly wreak havoc, it seems to have its own thoughts and even employs sophisticated tactics."

If the Shadow of Everwinter/The Shadow of Burning Fire is the Rift's imitation of the Silvermane Iron Guard,

[Then the monster they encountered was an imitation of the Great Guardian.]

…………

"It's 'Guardian's Shadow'."

St. Freya Academy, Raiden Mei confirmed.

…………

"It's 'Guardian's Shadow'."

On the continent of Teyvat, Wendy took a big sip of dandelion wine offered by kind believers.

Unlike the substitute Raiden Mei, Wendy retains the impression of the Guardian's Shadow:

"It's a huge threat to the holder of the Eye of God, but to Xing and the others... it's no threat at all."

As soon as Wendy finished speaking, she saw the Guardian's Shadow being taken away by Xier's sickle from behind.

"Oh oh oh, you are worthy of being Lord Wind God!"

"Lord Wind God's sword is still as sharp as ever!"

Listening to the cheers in the tavern and enjoying the taste of the wine in her mouth, Wendy suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with having her identity exposed. After all, Captain Jean was in charge of all the affairs of Mondstadt.

…………

"Look, the afterimages of Bronya and Cocolia—they must have passed by here too."

[March Seven points forward with a calm expression, as if he's used to the afterimage.]

Xingye nodded: "The sound has become clearer..."

Sanyueqi's face showed surprise: "Huh? Doesn't that mean we're very close?"

Dan Heng also nodded: "I have a feeling we are very close to the northern snowfields."

As they approached, Cocolia's voice echoed from the afterimage:

[“The first guardian commanded the Silvermane Iron Guard here, sacrificing great sacrifices to gain a brief respite.”]

"But the otherworldly legions were tireless. She soon realized that flesh and blood could not possibly stand against such a formidable foe."

[“Near despair… she chose to turn her gaze to the star core and make her first wish.”]

[“What happened afterwards… you know it too.”]

Bronya said in a sad tone, "So... the cold wave is actually a disaster caused by human wishes..."

[Cocolia continued to explain:]

"Isn't it ironic? The star core simply fulfilled humanity's long-cherished wish, yet we spent the next few hundred years keeping its existence a secret."

"They even tried to use it to suppress the core of a star... pathetic and ridiculous."

[Bronya asked warily: "It?"]

[Cocolia said disdainfully:]

[“An object created using technology not of this world—a suppressor that the companies and city builders of the past attempted to use to contain the star core.”]

"I know you have many questions, daughter. Be patient... you will get all the answers soon."

…………

"I drove the tiger to devour the wolf, but in the end I still couldn't defeat the tiger..."

At St. Freya's Academy, Bronya shook her head.

Thinking of the mysterious man she had never met who provided information to Cocolia, Bronya had a premonition:

"Mother Cocolia, who thought she was using a mysterious person... might actually be being used by that person."

…………

The world of Akame ga Slash,

Leone spread his hands:

"Without using the star core, Beloberg would be immediately destroyed by the antimatter army... The First Guardian has no choice."

Myne nodded in agreement:

“When you are dying of thirst, you have to swallow even poisonous wine.”

Lubbock shrugged.

"This is the helplessness of the weak."

…………

Girls' Last Tour World,

Yuli looked at Qianhu curiously:

"Qian-chan, is the cold snap here also someone's wish?"

"To end a world war and cause the world to be destroyed or something?"

"It'd better not be. Hunger and cold are already uncomfortable enough, and if there are some monsters or something..." Qianhu shook his head in disgust.

…………

[Several people continue to move forward along the footsteps of the afterimage]

The air around him grew colder and stiller, and the roar in his mind became clearer.

[All signs indicate that they are approaching the exit of the Rift Labyrinth]

Seele points ahead: "It's that woman's shadow again... Bronya isn't with her this time."

Sanyueqi calls out to Xing: "It's just an illusion created by the Rift. Xing, let's get closer and take a look."

After moving slightly closer, Sanyueqi frowned, "It feels... a little different from the afterimage before?"

[At this moment, Cocolia's afterimage suddenly spoke: "Intruder..."]

San Yue Qi didn't react, and stood there blankly, saying, "Huh? Did she...did she say anything?"

[The afterimage of Cocolia continues: "Do not... approach..."]
