This heroine is so despicable

"Then... I'm going to get on."

Several people quickly retreated to the door, and Bronya pushed it open and walked in.

The Grand Guardian's office, which used to be bright and spacious, now looked a lot darker because the curtains were drawn on the tall windows.

The desk, which was always tidy, was now a mess, and the person lying there was her mother, Cocolia.

Compared to usual, she looked more haggard at this moment. When she heard the door open, she raised her head and then looked at her daughter who had returned in disbelief.

"Bronya? Is this...another...my hallucination?"

Bronya could no longer control her emotions and immediately stepped forward to hug the haggard Cocolia:

"Mother, I'm back!"

After discovering that the person in her arms was not an illusion, Cocolia's surprise turned into joy. She quickly held Bronya's face and looked at her repeatedly:

"Is it really you? Bronya! I thought... I thought I was going to lose you! How did you come back? Are you hurt? I'll find a doctor right away!"

"No, no need! Mother!"

Bronya quickly persuaded Cocolia.

"I'm fine now, and I haven't received any harm. I'm sorry, mother, for making you worry for so long... but... I'm fine, really fine! I ran around the lower district for a long time and understood a lot of things. I..."

However, after hearing the word "lower class area", Cocolia's eyes, which were originally full of tenderness, suddenly seemed to be in a trance, as if there was another person talking to her in front of her.

At the same time, Xing, who was eavesdropping outside the door, frowned because she heard that annoying voice again.

[…Your daughter has been bewitched…by those dangerous outsiders…She will refuse to enter the new world with you…hurry…or else…]

Damn it, that star core is causing trouble again!

Remember this! When I catch you later, you will be in trouble!

At the same time, Cocolia's eyes in the house became cold again.

She even gently pushed Bronya away, and her expression returned to its cold look:

"The lower district... It seems that you have made new friends there? Then report to me what you have seen and heard, Commander Bronya."

Bronya looked at her mother whose attitude suddenly changed, and she felt cold all over - now she was sure that there was something about her mother that was affecting her.

Her tone suddenly became anxious:

"Mother, you...know the existence of star cores, right?"

Cocolia was unmoved:

"All the great guardians of all generations know this. When you take my place, you will know this too."

Bronya swallowed her saliva:

"Well... Lady Cocolia, I have learned the truth about the star core from a robot left behind in the ancient times in the lower zone, and... now I agree with the views of those aliens - only by destroying the star core can Beloberg be saved."

But Cocolia's expression remained cold:

"…Go on. I'm listening."

Bronya looked at Cocolia in front of her with concern and gritted her teeth:

"Please forgive my offense, Mother. Is there a voice in your ear... speaking to you? And is that voice coming from the star core?"

"..."

Looking at the silent Cocolia, Bronya could no longer suppress her worries:

"So... that thing promised you something, right, Mother? That's why you gave those orders, but do you really want to believe it? Believe in the terrifying existence that created the cold wave and the rift, and constantly created monsters to harm our Beloberg for hundreds of years!?"

Bronya couldn't help but raise her voice a little, trying to dissuade him:

"Please... don't listen to that thing's nonsense anymore, mother! I believe those outsiders have the power to destroy the core of the star. As long as they destroy it, everything will be back..."

"--enough!"

Cocolia shouted angrily, interrupting Bronya.

"Arrogant, ignorant - you disappoint me, Bronya! You only glimpsed a corner of the snowy mountain, and you think you have seen the truth!? You just splashed mud on the lower level, and you dare to question my orders? You -"

“They are not scum!!!”

Bronya also shouted loudly.

——This might be the first time in her history that she spoke so loudly to her beloved mother, but Bronya no longer cared about it at the moment.

"My life story - the things you never told me! I remember it all now, Mother!"

Bronya clutched her chest, her tone filled with sadness and anger.

"I will not run away anymore! Please stop indulging in the false illusions that being promised you! Please wake up! Lady Cocolia!"

Cocolia's eyes were filled with confusion and surprise, as if she couldn't believe that Bronya, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would disobey her like this.

But soon, the same anger and confusion took over her emotions, and she no longer wanted to argue with Bronya:

"You don't understand anything, Bronya! This dying world, no one can understand it except me! It has promised me a future, and you... You are my daughter, you will..."

Finally, Cocolia said nothing more. She waved her hand:

"Iron Guards! Take Bronya away and send her back to her room. Without my order, you are not allowed to—"

But when she turned around and saw Xing and his group leading the way into the room, Cocolia was slightly stunned.

【Hi, hi, come on! 】

"Please surrender, Madam Cocolia!"

At the critical moment, Xing almost said something stupid, but he quickly raised his baseball bat with a serious face:

"You have been completely bewitched by the Star Core. If you still refuse to change, then... we will have to correct you in our own way!"

Cocolia looked at Xing angrily, and then her eyes swept to Jeppard and Shiluwa behind her, and she became even more furious:

"Guard Officer Jeppard! And you, Silva, did you two betray me too!?"

Jeppard opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. Moreover, in a sense, he did betray Cocolia's trust, so he was suddenly speechless.

However, Shiluwa took a step forward without fear, and looked at her former best friend with complicated eyes:

"Stop it! Cocolia! I only know that you would never become like this in the past!"

[That's right, stop it! There are only unknown people outside! ]

Cocolia took a few quick deep breaths, then looked at Bronya with pain:

"Did you plan all this? My good daughter Bronya!?"

Xing took a step forward:

"Wrong! I asked her to do this!"

She pointed to Cocolia:

"It seems that you are completely unwilling to listen to anything I say. Then... I will correct you here! And..."

Xing twisted his neck, and the power of the star core in his body began to become restless.

She looked at Cocolia, but it seemed that she was not looking at her.

"Since you are self-aware, then... I guess you are looking at me now, right?"

[I said that star core, were you peeking at it? ]

Xing sneered:

"Wait - I will come to you soon! I will seal you up or destroy you completely! I will put an end to the unfinished business of these hundreds of years!"

"……very good!"

Cocolia took a deep breath, and then a cold temperament burst out from her—not an expression, but real coldness.

A force like a cold wave instantly surged out from her body, blowing away the surrounding desks and debris in an instant. Even Xing and others almost couldn't stand. The temperature in the originally warm room instantly dropped below zero.

Cocolia waved her hand suddenly, and a spear of ice appeared in her hand. At the same time, an ice wall suddenly condensed under Bronya's feet, trapping her in place.

"Mother!"

"Bronya!" Seele suddenly became anxious and wanted to go up but was stopped by the strong wind coming towards her.

"Just stay there, Bronya."

Cocolia faced the crowd, holding an ice spear.

"I will clear these final obstacles that stand in our way to a new world!"

Sanyue considerately put a shield on Xing and held the bow tightly in her hand:

"Finally, the fight is about to begin! Go ahead, pioneers! This is the adventure that we, the Nameless, always have!"

"what!"

Xing, whose blood was already boiling, nodded and strode towards Cocolia.

"It's coming!"

Volume 061: Under the scorching sun: The defeat of Cocolia!

"Cocolia!!!"

I understand your desperation, I understand your ambition!

You watched the territory slowly fall, watched the people gradually transformed into monsters, watched the resources become increasingly scarce, and you have given up the will to protect it! In these seven hundred years of despair, you chose to throw yourself into the arms of the star core!

If the Star Train had not arrived, the last bit of fire left in the Beloberg civilization would have disappeared in that winter night... So, I understand your despair!

But now, we are here! So I won't watch you go to your own death, and even take Bronya and the whole Beloberg with you!

The power of the star's core is increasing rapidly! Increasing rapidly!

Her attack power and momentum at this moment far surpassed her state when she fought against the lady, because Xing at this moment was more serious than ever before - what a domineering mind, what madness, what else in this world could stop her?

Braving the cold wind that was cold enough to freeze an ordinary person into an ice sculpture, Xing walked forward, faster and faster, and finally ran towards Cocolia, jumped high, and swung the baseball bat in his hand fiercely.

But after the "bang" sounded...

——Xing was surprised to find that this blow that was enough to shatter Doommon's armor was blocked by the Ice Spear in Cocolia's hand! ?

This is……

[——Star Core Power!? Damn it! I should have thought of it earlier! She is now half a Star Core Essence if rounded up.]

"Get back...!"

A burst of ice suddenly erupted from around Cocolia, knocking Xing back. Also forced back were Dan Heng, who was also trying to attack, and Seele, who was trying to save Bronya.

"Cokolia!"

The Landau siblings in the back also took action. Shiluwa shouted loudly and used an electric guitar to shoot out a bolt of lightning, trying to wake up her former best friend who had gone astray.

But this seemingly powerful thunder did not cause much impact on Cocolia. Only a few flashes of lightning flashed on her body.

[Such high resistance, and it's not superconducting!? Wait, is there such a thing as superconductivity in this world!?]

Jeppard on the side also rushed forward, protected the repelled Xing, shouted in the name of Landau, and gave everyone... a shield!

[So why did you use the most passionate words and the most lethal momentum, but in the end you only put up a shield for us!? ]

The next second, a large amount of storm wind wrapped in ice spikes came over and hit Jeppard's shield, but at this time, Brother Jie was so heavy, like an indestructible wall blocking everyone, even though the whole room had turned into white in this ice storm.

[I take it back! Brother Jie! Hard!]

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Cocolia herself rushed over with an ice spear:

"Your failure is already doomed!!"

"not necessarily!!"

Xing rolled over and stood up, and together with Jeppard, he blocked a series of attacks from Cocolia. Dan Heng on the wing seized the opportunity, and with the power of the wind, he hit Cocolia's hand with the Cloud-Strike Spear in his hand, and sent her ice spear flying.

"you--!?"

"boom!"

Another shot hit Cocolia in the back, causing her to stagger.

——It was Bronya. Seele had already used her sickle to smash the ice cage that trapped Bronya and freed her. At this time, she no longer hesitated about Cocolia.
