Zongman: Live broadcast of the collapse of iron, shocking the world

[The disappearance of her daughter made her mother panic.]

[Cocolia's voice is filled with anger... and endless sadness, "She is my daughter, she is my only..."]

[“What do you know? Soulless things! You will never understand...ever!”]

A sudden chilly gust of wind filled the council hall, and the crystal chandelier on the dome flickered, as if hinting at the Star Core's dissatisfaction.

The star core continued to bewitch Cocolia, its hoarse voice echoing in the council chamber, "You haven't lost her... She's waiting to be reunited with you on the other side."

Cocolia recalled the deal with the Star Core—the "New World." Only by creating a "New World" could her daughter...have a future!

"Stand up, Guardian. Fulfill your destiny... fulfill a Mother's wish!"

[Accompanied by the sound of the star core, the picture suddenly darkened... Xing felt himself being pulled back to reality by a vortex.]

"That voice again... This dream is too weird." Xing shook her head. She was too troubled by the nightmare to sleep, so she decided to go out and relax.

·····

The world of Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Lelouch remained silent after seeing Cocolia's dream.

After a long moment, he sighed.

"It seems that this Cocolia, although unpopular and unable to lead the people to a better life, can even be said to be betraying the people."

"But at least she didn't betray her daughter."

Lelouch didn't know what benefits Star Core was using to seduce Cocolia.

Judging from the term "new world", it may be that the star core is telling Cocolia that Yalilo is finished and there is no point in lingering on.

The star core can provide a way to change the environment of this world so that people can start a new life.

It is normal for Cocolia to move further towards the core of the star under tremendous pressure and instigation.

Lelouch realized that the image in this dream was also a reminder to himself.

The purpose of his revolution was to take revenge on the emperor.

He said that he was leading everyone to fight for freedom, so it was a revolution...but it was just a rhetoric.

He actually hadn't thought about it yet. If he defeated the emperor, how would he construct the future world?

How to create a new world system so that people can enjoy peace?

If he couldn't do this, he couldn't say that he would give his sister Nunnally a better world.

Lelouch believed that in his heart, Nunnally was indeed the first, and no one else could compare to her.

So to a certain extent, Lelouch could understand Cocolia's feelings.

However, now that Bronya has begun to understand what's happening in the downtown area, it's probably only a matter of time before she returns to confront Cocolia.

How will Cocolia handle the confrontation with her daughter?

What is this "new world" she is looking forward to?

Lelouch closed his eyes, lost in thought.

·····

"Who?!" Bronya yelled when she heard the noise behind her. She thought someone was really coming for a night raid...but when she turned around, she saw it was Xing.

Bronya lowered her guard. "Huh~~~ It's you... Next time, don't approach me from behind. You should be thankful I'm unarmed."

"I can't sleep without working for 8 hours." Xing said with a serious face, trying to make Bronya laugh.

Bronya chuckled. She couldn't understand Xing's words and actions. Was this the way of an alien? "Someone needs to take care of you."

After this little incident, both of them relaxed, and Bronya wanted to talk to Xing.

"That so-called 'star core'... assuming we actually find it, how confident are you that you can stop the cold wave?"

Xing was a new member of the pioneering team, so she wasn't familiar with the relevant operations. She told Bronya that she had to ask Dan Heng about this.

Bronya sighed. She found it hard to believe that the "Star Core" could actually be destroyed.

Even now, she feels her mother's orders are inappropriate. However, as a soldier, she should stick to them and arrest Xing and his group.

[In fact, she herself knew that blindly following orders was irrational.]

[Once upon a time, the soldiers of the Upper City continued to lose their lives on the front lines, but the pace of the Rift's expansion did not slow down at all.]

Bronya had once agreed with her mother's decision to transfer all Iron Guards to the front lines, block the passage between the upper and lower levels, and only retain the supply and earth marrow exchange channels.

However, now that she had seen the order in the Lower Town without the Iron Guards, and the living conditions of the people there, she realized that perhaps her mother was wrong.

[Furthermore, there are too many suspicious points about my mother. Many of her policies and instructions are incomprehensible.]

"But I can't change her mind. I tried, but she won't listen. I can't find a way." Bronya sighed.

[Bronya was very distressed and didn't know how to resolve this contradiction.]

[Xing looked at the painful Bronya and said calmly.]

"You, just be the Great Guardian, right?"

·····

The Battle of Two Cities, in a secret base in the sea.

Through the large panoramic glass, Hilco admired the world in the sea - the survival of the fittest.

Hilco recalled the scene on the screen, savoring it carefully.

The situation with Beloberg is really similar to the relationship between Zaun and Piltover.

Thanks to these people who came from nowhere to explore this planet.

These adventures allowed Hilco to see the clash of various philosophies.

Cocolia thought that if she obeyed the Star Core and issued policies, the people in the lower city would suffer in the short term, but she would get good results in the end.

This kind of thinking is really similar to Vandel - of course not the Vandel that Hillco respected and was once the leader, but the cowardly Vandel now!

This approach can only lead to destruction...but why should the rest of us follow you into destruction?

The organization "Underground Fire" seems to be pretty good. At least it keeps the downtown area in a barely viable state.

However, Hilco also looked down on this group of people.

Unable to unite the people in the lower city to attack the upper city, and even the homeless people affect the daily operation... "Underground Fire" is gentle but lacks courage.

In this way, the lower city will be stuck in a stalemate and will die sooner or later.

However, there was one person that Hilko was looking forward to.

"Bronya? Interesting, this will be the ground zero for Beloberg's transformation, right?"

After learning the truth, what will Bronya do? Will she go back and confront her mother?

Or become the leader of the new world and directly lead the people in the downtown area to start a revolution?

The crown was right before his eyes, and Hilco wondered, who would take it?

Chapter 37 Seele and Bronya act together: Rivet Town!

"You mean..." Bronya's pupils dilated, her eyes trembling. "No! This idea is too horrible! Absolutely not!"

Bronya turned her head, her face solemn, "I just hope that the people of Beloberg can live a better life..."

Xing realized that what she had just said was actually tantamount to persuading Bronya to stand against her mother...even to telling her to rebel.

[This kind of thing might not have been intentional to the pioneer group, but the locals of Beloberg certainly took it seriously.]

[However, with Bronya's personality, it is impossible for her to shoulder these burdens on her own.]

Bronya sighed and stopped Xing from continuing, "Now I... need to think about it."

Bronya invites Xing to walk with her, just as a stroll.

Bronya discussed a lot with Xing along the way, the plight of miners and vagrants; the debate between crime and hardship...

[As a law enforcement officer, Bronya finds it difficult to strike a balance between justice and reason.]

[However, before they had walked far, they saw Xi'er and Natasha, who seemed to be talking about something.]

"How long can the supplies you have on hand last?" The two heard Xier's voice.

"Then I'll go to Rivet Town and get your things back for you."

[The two walked towards Natasha and Xier. Xier turned around and saw them, a little surprised. "Why are you going out at this time?... You don't have any bad intentions, do you?"]

[When Bronya heard that Seele suspected her, she got angry.]

"I just went out for a walk because I couldn't sleep. Please retract your baseless accusations."

[“Hmph, let’s go somewhere else—” Xier waved her hands.]

"Seele, don't worry. They might be able to help." Natasha comforted Seele first, then looked at Xing and Bronya sincerely. "Seele... She's the typical person who speaks tough but is soft-hearted. She means no harm."

Battle of the Two Cities, Piltover.

On a rainy night, Caitlin was waiting for Jace at the door of her house.

She heard that something went wrong with Jace's experiment and that the parliament would announce his verdict today.

My mother said that it’s probably not a good possibility.

Caitlin was bored in front of the door, staring at the light screen in a daze.

The videos on the light screen have become the latest form of entertainment in Piltover.

"Bronya, you look a lot like me."

Caitlin has been paying close attention to Bronya ever since she showed up.

As the daughter of the "Great Guardian" and very likely the heir.

Bronya is heroic and capable.
