Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

Alechino sighed, "Studying everything will only harm you."

"On the contrary," Dottore said calmly, "Ceasing your curiosity about the unknown... is the only way to erase me."

-

"The stars are moving forward again, this time with Cocolia and Bronya."

Bronya said worriedly, "Mother, I still don't understand... The Rift's erosion has spread to the lower levels. If all the Iron Guards are withdrawn, how will the people left below protect themselves?"

Cocolia patted the girl's shoulder. "The automated defenses will ensure their safety. The most important defenses are in the upper areas. If we collapse, the underground areas will be destroyed instantly. We must maintain these defenses at all costs."

"It's a choice... Bronya, as a leader, you must have the courage to make decisions. You and I, we have more important missions to fulfill... Sooner or later, you too will have to make a choice."

"A more important mission?" Bronya looked up in confusion.

Cocolia said soothingly, "It's too early, Bronya... it's too early. One day you'll understand."

"Xing continued walking, and this time she saw a little girl ahead."

"The little girl's image seemed to be everywhere in Beloberg, but when she opened her mouth, it was as if countless voices overlapped across the veil of time and echoed throughout the universe."

"That is... the will of successive guardians."

"The city cries out... the power of its protection fades. In the end, we are powerless to resist the will of the star core."

"It was Cocolia who gave up protecting her," Xing said.

"Yes... but we have no right to blame. For the past seven hundred years, the Rift has grown ever wider. What we leave to our successors... is neither faith nor wealth, only boundless despair."

"Watching the homeland I swore to protect gradually disappear before my eyes... is torture. Add to that the lingering, bewitching whispers..."

"It seems that all the Great Guardians of all generations have been aware of the problem. Even if Cocolia holds on to her principles and refuses to be deceived, the next Great Guardian and the next after will eventually give up."

Catherine suddenly realized: "Even if it wasn't Cocolia, it would be someone else who betrayed Cunhu."

"No matter how resolute one's will is, it's bound to waver. It seems that this matter cannot be blamed entirely on Cocolia." Wei found it difficult to imagine how much pressure would be on the shoulders of someone who carried the civilization of a planet.

"However, although I can understand Cocolia's choice, it does not mean that I agree with her choice."

Catherine said firmly, "How can one person make a decision concerning the entire spark of civilization? In Piltover, even matters like this require a vote by the council. The matter of the star core... shouldn't have been kept secret from the others from the beginning. At least, not from Bronya and the others."

"...Ms. Cocolia is way too conceited." Catherine grew angrier as she spoke.

"Okay, little cake, why are you angry? Look, Xing and the others are here to 'fix' her, right?" Wei patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"But Xing..." Catherine recalled the scene where Xing was shot through and shook her head worriedly.

"After all, I am a person with a star core. I think dying... won't be that easy."

"Even the strongest of wills will inevitably waver. This day is bound to come. His protection... is destined to leave us." The Guardian's Will said regretfully.

"Xing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had a confident expression on his face: "Then let others [protect]!"

““You…” The Guardian’s will expressed surprise for the first time, “A mere passerby, yet you insist on shouldering the fate of an entire world…”

"But soon the Guardian's will left her with no other choice. She lowered her head and said, 'Fine. What's left to lose... What's left to try?'"

"Touch the amber's light, pioneer. See if the will to preserve within you is strong enough... strong enough to attract His gaze."

"Following her direction, I saw a red lance shrouded in amber light."

"Xing slowly reached out and firmly grasped the gun handle."

"But just as she grasped it, as if from a distant, unseen place in the universe, the Amber King brought down a heavy hammer. The clanging sound was accompanied by a wave of heat, pushing Jiang Xing's body back a few steps."

"But in the next second, she grasped it with an even more resolute attitude!"

"In an instant, countless images flashed before Xing's eyes: Seele, Bronya, Jeppard, Silva... In this world that is not beautiful at all, they are all working hard to change it."

"The Silvermane Iron Guards are fighting the monsters of the Rift with their lives. The people of the lower regions are toiling for a meager supply of food, while the Rift never stops expanding."

"This world has no hope and no future."

"Then, let her become the hope of this world!"

“Uh ...

"With a roar, Xing pulled out his lance, and a dazzling amber light shot up into the sky, as if to illuminate the entire universe!"

"And in the depths of the boundless universe, a giant like a monolithic sculpture raised its massive hammer. A blinding light gradually lit up in its eyes..."

"This... this is the Protector of the Stars! The stars are under His watch!"

At this moment, Tornado raised his head amid the exclamations of the heroes, and looked at the giant creature that looked like a god in astonishment.

Chapter 68: Looking at people with sidelong glances, this version is awesome!

sun.

This was the first thought that came to Tornado's mind when she met those eyes.

——It was a light brighter than the sun.

Even until the light faded away, Tornado's heart was still not at peace, but was immersed in a huge emotion.

Was this the Star God of Protection? A single glance from him was enough to see through all things. Even in a different world, the shock was indescribable. Ever since that first destructive gaze, the more Tornado became curious about the Star God, the more she came to know him, the more she understood him, the more insignificant she felt.

Even though she didn't really want to admit it.

"Tornado, facing this gaze of His...how do you feel?" Atomic Samurai wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously.

He remembered that when he first met Nanook's gaze, Tornado subconsciously activated the protective shield. At that moment, the activation of his superpowers almost destroyed the Hero Association building. Fortunately, the glance was very short and the sense of threat was fleeting, otherwise God knows what Tornado would do in response.

Unlike Nanook, Clipper's gaze was not hostile at all. Instead, it had a certain solid and warm feeling that filled people's hearts.

"What can I feel? He's just a god from another world, what does he have to do with me?" Tornado raised his chin proudly, trying to put on an indifferent expression.

"Uh...you're really being stubborn." Atomic Samurai complained quietly in his heart.

Perhaps even Tornado herself didn't notice that her black high-slit long skirt had already stuck tightly to her body because of the cold sweat, outlining her blood-pumping curves, her exposed white thighs trembling slightly, and her high heels making uneasy tapping sounds on the floor.

"He gripped the hammer tightly in his hand and slowly brought it down."

"Boom!"

"Almost simultaneously, the entire universe resounded with dull knocking sounds, and countless people looked up into the vast expanse of space."

"The Amber King's hammer has fallen... A new era has begun!"

"Is this the gaze of that god..."

Fulilian raised her head. Although she was in a different world and her eyes could not see the Milky Way through the light curtain, she seemed to be able to feel the heart-shaking excitement when the giant hammer fell.

"It's so warm, Lady Fulilian." Philen raised her hands. Although there was nothing in her palms, a warmth seemed to be born out of thin air and flowed from her hands into her body.

Although this wonderful experience was short-lived—lasting only a few seconds—the solid, heavy feeling was very impressive.

"Perhaps this is some kind of blessing... a reward for facing the star god's gaze." Fulilian lowered her head in thought. "Bestowing blessings across different worlds—I'm afraid even a goddess can't do that."

"He was probably born many, many, many years earlier than our goddess..."

"It's a pity that, despite His immense power, He can't significantly impact our world." Xiutark expressed regret. "If He could have helped, the Demon King would have been destroyed long ago."

"No, Hugh Tark, you should be thankful that the power of the Star Gods can only be contained within the light curtain," Fulilian said seriously. "If the power of the Star Gods is truly as they claim... I'm afraid that before the power of preservation arrives, our world will also be unable to escape the disaster of a star core."

"Xing opened her eyes again, and now she was back on the icy battlefield of Yalilo. The lance that had pierced her chest and abdomen had disappeared, replaced by the flaming spear she clutched tightly in her hand."

"Xing landed smoothly in the palm of the Creation Engine, but the giant didn't attack. Instead, it obeyed Xing's will and slowly placed her on the ground."

"Perhaps due to the resonance of the will to preserve, Xing has gained access to the Creation Engine."

"Xing, that's great! I'm glad you're okay!" Sanyueqi said happily.

"Everyone saw that Xing was not only alive and well, but also had a new weapon in his hand. Although they didn't understand what had happened, they all breathed a sigh of relief."

"Xing turned around and gave them a reassuring look."

"Just that sidelong glance alone silently tells everyone that she is now... terrifyingly strong."

"Facing Cocolia floating in the air, Xing resolutely raised the flame spear in his hand towards her."

"This is impossible..." Although Cocolia's face was completely dark, her trembling voice was enough to tell how terrible her expression was at that moment."

"That flame spear..."

"It seems that the will of the guardian has made its choice..." Bronya exclaimed in amazement.

"No! This is impossible!" Cocolia roared hysterically, "You know nothing about the plight of this world, and nothing about the end that awaits it!"

“Yes, Mother…”

"But even if we are destined to perish, we will hold hands and bravely walk into the darkness—" Bronya glanced at Seele beside her, her voice unwavering.

"She's still resisting at this point?" said the Rock Pillar, Gyoumei, tears welling in his eyes. "She's truly too stubborn. If she's willing to let go of her obsession with the Star Core, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

From the moment the Creation Engine began to obey Xing's orders, the Pillars realized that Cocolia had no chance of winning.

The power of the star core was indeed formidable, but a star that had been glanced at by the Protector Star God had long since been transformed. Even though they were in different worlds, the Pillars could sense the star's vibrant vitality from the aura of her sword pointing to the heavens.

"This kind of person won't wake up until she's on the verge of death," Shinobu Kocho sighed. "What's more, she's already sacrificed countless lives to reach the world promised by the Star Core... Whether it's the Iron Guard or the people of the Lower District, they all gave up because of her obsession."

"At this point, if you tell her that the future she's pursued after sacrificing countless lives is a pipe dream, a false illusion... she simply can't imagine it, and she doesn't dare to imagine it—she can't accept such a fact."

"So... even if she knows that this road is a dead end, she will still go for it regardless of the consequences. Perhaps, only death can make her face the reality and walk out of delusion completely..." Shinobu Kocho showed a regretful and sad expression.

Although she did not approve of Cocolia's approach, she could not guarantee that she could do better than her in that position.

Without a crown, you will never have to feel the weight that can crush the mind.

...Perhaps the lord can understand Cocolia's difficulties better than she can.

Chapter 69: If we are not brothers, why is there background music when you fight?

"Cocolia didn't want to waste any more words. With a roar, she raised her right hand high. The cold air above her head condensed into a sharp entity, like a torrential rain."

"The next second, ice crystals burst forth, shooting towards everyone like swift arrows."

““Here it comes!””

"Xing looked up at the sky. A blizzard stirred her long hair and the flames on the tip of her spear. She raised the flaming spear high. A red barrier formed around her, and an intense light radiated in all directions."

"Countless transparent cones of ice fell from the sky, then evaporated into snow the moment they approached the stars."

"That is the unshakable 'protection' that belongs to Xing alone."

"She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the flame spear. Bronya, Seele, Jeppard, Silva, Natasha, Clara...everyone seemed to be standing beside her, holding the flame spear tightly with her."

"The connections with everyone, the memories with everyone... at this moment, it's like they've all become fuel for the flame."

"Flame Spear, Charge!"

"Like an arrow shot from a bow, Xing wielded the flaming spear and charged forward. In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to be swept by her, swirling wildly into a fiery dragon, baring its fangs straight at Cocolia!"

"The God of Fire, Kagura!"

Tanjiro blurted out unconsciously, but he quickly calmed down, "No... The moves are completely incompatible, and the weapons are also different, but the aura is much stronger than the Fire God Kagura."

The Kamado family's "Fire God Kagura" dance has twelve forms, and as long as the breathing method is performed correctly, the Kagura dance can be performed continuously. The first time Tanjiro saw his father dance was on a snowy night.

The surging vitality contained in the dance...is exactly the same as the stars.

On Muzan's side, although Xing's shot that burned the sky and scorched the earth made him feel a little threatened, after all, the other party would not really pierce the light curtain with a shot to cause trouble for him, so Muzan just wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

This shot made Akaza, one of the Upper Three, tremble all over.

The raging flames and the dancing fire dragons reminded him of the man who would rather die than admit defeat, and who would not give in even if his lungs were pierced by him.

He was also the only man who forced him to escape before sunrise.

Flame Pillar Rengoku Kyojuro.

"It's a pity that you died... otherwise, after seeing this move, your skills would probably be even more sophisticated, right?" Akaza sighed regretfully.

Over the centuries, he had killed several Pillars who used the Breathing of Flame, and Kyojuro's bravery had left a deep impression on him... Now Akaza had a certain understanding of the Six Styles of the Breathing of Flame.

These six sword techniques were all powerful, aggressive attacks. While Akaza found it difficult to cope with the Flame Pillar, humans were still flesh and blood, and the demon's resilience ultimately gave him the upper hand.

But if Kyojuro were still alive, and had learned some revelation about "preservation" from Xing and developed some defensive techniques... I'm afraid that even if he couldn't win the battle, he would be able to resist alone until dawn.

"Flames enveloped Cocolia's body, causing a violent explosion."

"When the flames dissipated, she remained unharmed in the embers. She raised her hands, and a sphere like a star core gradually expanded and condensed in her hands. The sphere seemed to attract the surrounding flames, and for a moment, the biting cold wind once again took over."

"It was as if I saw a sinister smile on Kokolia's face, deep in darkness."
