Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

"Be careful!!!"

Under the moon...sister?

The bewildered girl shook her head, but caught a glimpse of the oppressive ice rock mixed with the power of star cores, which was approaching her rapidly in the corner of her sight.

Shoot it away!

There is still some remnant of the power the captain instilled in me.

I can still do it!

But...why is my bat...so heavy?

Xing shook his heavy head with difficulty, which seemed to be filled with lead, and glanced down at the "bat" in his hand.

Not a baseball bat, but a frozen rock spear.

but.......

It doesn’t matter, right?

As long as I can, I can do what I want to do.

You can hold anything!

Xing stood up, gripped the handle of the rock gun with both hands, and faced the flying ice rock, ready to hit the ball.

Except for Xing, everyone saw that a ray of fire bloomed under the icy shell of the rock spear that was placed on the girl's shoulder.

At this moment, at the outermost part of Everfrost Ridge, Sangbo, who was holding up his phone and broadcasting live to the brothers and sisters in the tavern, couldn't help but let out a guilty laugh, "So, it's impossible for the car to flip over. Even if there are slight discrepancies, everything is in old Sangbo's plan."

"Everything is ready." [Playwright] raised his head and looked up at the clean sky without any clouds, which was probably the only place in the entire Yalilo VI where he could see the universe at the moment.

"So......"

"Let us toast to the end of this Amber Age and the beginning of a new one."

Sambo muttered to himself, as if he was congratulating his brothers and sisters in the tavern, or as if he was calmly narrating a fact.

At this second, time seems to have stopped.

The captain pointed his gun at Xing and was about to give Xing another boost, but suddenly heard a sound...

A dull and crisp auditory hallucination.

From.

The star rested on the frozen rock spear on his shoulder.

At this moment, Xing, with his back to the crowd, had lost focus of his vision and his consciousness had left his body, heading to the depths of the distant universe, to the [narrow gap of fate] that countless travelers on their journey of life... perhaps could never step into in their entire lives.

And this time, it’s… the second time!

---

Here again...

Standing in the boundless void, Xing looked at the familiar scene.

Here is a vast sea of stars.

It seemed as if the singularity of the universe was right under our feet, with countless starlight and particles gushing out from the void in the distance.

But the singularity that spewed out all of this seemed to be the end of everything. Countless debris, meteorites, and even the universe that was pulled into strips, all flowed into the void from all directions and were annihilated without a trace.

【The Narrow Path of Fate】

The familiar scene in front of her reminded the Star Core Spirit of the last time, in the same place, [Destruction] glanced at her, triggering the star core in her body to go berserk.

So this time...

The girl, who had a premonition in her heart, looked around, but did not see any majestic gods. However, in the distance, she saw a faint bright red, rhythmically moving, breathing, just like herself, it was an [alien object] in this space.

Feeling something in her heart, she took a step forward, and halfway,

A touch of icy blue suddenly bloomed beside Xing, causing the girl to suddenly stop.

The light gathered into a human figure, abstract yet concrete. A clear voice was transmitted to the ears of the Star Core Spirit. Jeppard reported to Cocolia for the first time that the corpse of the Iron Guard had been transformed into a monster by the Rift, and Cocolia's response was calm and indifferent.

Walking towards the bright red light, he witnessed the breakup between Cocolia and Shiluwa.

Continuing forward, we see what excuses Cocolia used to deceive the [City Builders] and the young Bronya, and to carry out the plan to blockade the lower area. The choices and decisiveness Cocolia mentioned... were nothing but excuses to deceive herself and others.

The view ahead gradually became clearer, and at this moment, the Star Core Spirit finally saw clearly what that bright red light, that [foreign object], was.

The rock spear he was carrying on his shoulder was not covered with frost like the one in Cocolia's hand, like an ice rock.

Standing in the [Narrow Gap of Fate], just looking at the bright red rock spear, an illusory heat wave came over him, the blazing will, the fierce flames, the surging waves, layer upon layer, hitting the face of the Star Core Spirit.

It was not until she looked away that the feeling of being unable to tell whether it was an illusion or reality gradually faded away.

Xing's gaze turned to the side.

A transparent and illusory figure appeared in front of her at some point and stood between her and the Amber Rock Spear.

"Beloberg is crying... The power of [protection] is fading under the erosion of the blizzard." The illusory figures kept changing. Sometimes they were plump, sometimes they turned into a young girl, sometimes they turned into a child, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a hunchbacked old woman. They spoke together with several overlapping voices.

Firm, yet with regret and helplessness.

"In the end, we are still unable to resist the will of the star core."

We refer to the great guardians of Beloberg throughout the ages. They were the former leaders of Beloberg, and their will was gathered by the recorded resonants.

The will of the Great Guardian.

The will of the Rands.

Chapter 57: Home Run!!

"In the end, we are still unable to resist the will of the star core."

The figure kept changing his specific image, and sighed softly, as if waking up from a long dream, but also as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

There was emotion, but not helplessness. The countless different female voices that came together expressed thoughts that seemed to have been anticipated.

Standing in the narrow space between life and death, Xing turned his gaze from the Amber Rock Spear to the Great Guardian Will, whose image was frozen in the form of an old woman. "Cocolia, she is not worthy of being compared with you, is she?"

The ignorant newborn girl calmly narrates her thoughts and judgments.

The old lady-like Guardian Will just smiled and shook her head, "Anyone can blame Cocolia for the choice she made, kid."

"But we can't." After the voice fell, the image of the old woman turned into a plump lady. "I will not blame my daughter for not being able to hold on, because I know how difficult it is to resist that kind of despair."

The plump woman turned into a determined young girl. "For the past seven hundred years, the Rands have continued to pass on their legacy, but the Rift has been expanding endlessly, and the wind and snow are always howling. Every time they pass on their legacy, what the Rands give to their descendants is not wealth or wisdom, but only a stubborn belief that belongs to me, and endless despair."

"You are...Alissa Rand?"

The determined-looking girl did not answer her identity. She just turned around and looked at Yan Qiang behind her. Pain and helplessness flashed in her eyes. "Watching the homeland that I swore to protect gradually go to ruin is a torture, and my own powerlessness is even more of a torment. Add to that the lingering and bewitching words of Star Core, and even the most resolute will will waver."

"The collapse of faith is only a matter of time."

"We had anticipated everything you are going through. It was bound to happen to a child named Rand, and Cocolia Rand just happened to encounter this most desperate moment. That's all."

"But now that we're here, she's still stubborn." Xing frowned. She could understand the guardians' tolerance of Cocolia, just as she could follow and accept Captain Jie's indulgence of Cocolia. However, acceptance did not mean that she understood this choice and approach.

"Child." Alisa's image turned back into a plump woman. She looked at Xing calmly. She was not angry because the girl's words hurt her daughter. She just asked Xing a question calmly.

"Cocolia also had ideals, revenge, struggles and efforts. Now that you are here as the 'savior', should she deny everything that belonged to her in the past?"

Xing was speechless for a moment.

In her straightforward thinking, one should follow the ideas and decisions of whoever is right and efficient. This should be correct and reasonable.

But, she couldn't utter a simple word.

After a brief silence, Xing exhaled forcefully. She raised her eyes and looked at Cocolia's mother. "So, after Cocolia chose the wrong path, do you think you can let her trample on the will that the [City Builders] have upheld for seven hundred years and let her follow the tide to pursue the culprit who destroyed your civilization?"

This time, it was the Guardian's will that fell silent.

"There is no absolute right, but a mistake is a mistake, isn't it?" Xing stared at the Guardian's will. "Cocolia's actions are indeed understandable rationally, but she shouldn't be forgiven, right?"

As Xing spoke, what he recalled in his mind was the hazy orange-red light in the window of Natasha's small clinic in the underground city.

They were the dirty little faces of a few kids from Hook's mole team.

It was the wrinkled face of Hook's adoptive father.

Those miners who see no hope and regard a pickaxe as a treasure...

"We are not the ones who can forgive her. Those who have not been hurt by her can only talk without any pain. You are the ones, the captain is..." She laughed freely, with a little self-mockery, "Including me."

"Yes, she has done many evil things and many wrong things over the years. If she turns around and embraces us, what difference will it make from her choosing the star core? Everything she once had will become meaningless and become the purest harm. She is a coward and dares not face such a result." As Xing spoke, his footsteps had already passed the great guardian who was standing still and came to the rock spear that had turned red and hot at some point in time.

"So, she would rather continue to be wrong until she is overturned by the 'right' one."

The scout reached out and grasped the handle of the rock gun.

The girl roared, and the red light that had been accumulating in the rock spear suddenly burst out.

And this moment.

Whether it is in the [narrow space of fate], the outside world, or in reality.

On the Yalilo VI, the captain suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

Some kind of [huge] existence has arrived.

In the observation car of the Starry Sky Train, Walter Yang raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, while Ji Zi raised the corners of her mouth, but neither of them noticed that a glittering full-length mirror had appeared in a corner of the car at some point. Only Pam glanced at the full-length mirror with a hint of confusion, frowned slightly, and then looked away in confusion.

And even farther into the deep space.

In the general's residence of Xianzhou Luofu, Jingyuan and Yanqing sat cross-legged, each raising the wine cup in their hands.

At the headquarters of Interstellar Peace Company, a grand celebration and cocktail party is being held.

Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, in the standard year of one hundred and twenty-seven, the Amber King dropped his hammer again, announcing to all living beings in the universe that the old era had ended and a new era, the Amber Era, had begun.

In [The Narrow Path of Fate], the dull yet crisp sound of hammers, accompanied by Xing holding the rock spear, resounded through her mind.

The rock spear suddenly burst out with flames and repulsive force, spreading out the star core spirit's right hand.

The Star Core Spirit, who was forced to take a step back by the Rock Spear, looked stern, took a step forward, and tightened the handle of the Rock Spear again, "Since she chose this..."

"Then, let's do as she wishes!!"

"Overthrow her!!"

With both hands, tightly gripping the handle of the rock gun, the girl let out a low roar of anger. The crisp sound of cracking echoed in her ears. The girl, who was only focused on exerting force, no longer cared about the changes in [The Narrow Gap of Fate].

The embodiment of the guardians' will had disappeared at some point, and she didn't even notice that the god holding a forge hammer had turned around and appeared behind her.

Xing has only one belief at this moment.

Pull out this gun and open up a path for Beloberg that the people of Beloberg expect.

Amber! Draw your gun!

A hot and fierce beam of light shot up into the sky in the narrow space between life and death.

In a remote corner of the universe, [Cripper], holding the forging hammer high, turned around.

There was a burning and scalding will that turned the blessing of amber into flames, which made him curious.

The huge god turned around, and in the [Narrow Path of Life], the girl holding the rock spear high suddenly looked back.

He looked into the eyes of that overwhelming figure.

Then, I suddenly woke up!

Above the Everfrost Ridge, in the area without wind or snow, Xing's eyes refocused on the oncoming ice rocks.

A heat wave swept through.

"coward!!!!"

** roared, swung the heavy rock spear in his hand, and hit the ice rock hard.

The flames burst forth.

“It’s time to face reality!!”

That huge ice rock, again.

A home run by a star.

Knocked away!
