I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　Although Hoshi might be very angry afterward, that's something Suzuma should consider after the Bellberg incident is over.

　Please, future me!

　Let's return our perspective to the stars.

　"Such a huge creation engine, if it were turned on, Uncle Yang would be incredibly excited, right?"

　Standing at the feet of the Creation Engine in March, she exclaimed in sincere admiration.

　"But how do you open this thing? Do you need to use Suzumo's black card?"

　"let me see……"

　Xing took out the cheat card that Lingmo had given him and stuck it on the creation engine. However, this big guy did not automatically unlock like the previous mechanism. Instead, the black card itself was bounced away.

　At the same time, a piece of text was projected onto the black card.

　"Don't try it. The black card can't open this thing. Don't be fooled by its appearance as a big robot. In reality, this thing, like the earth marrow, is close to a product of idealism under the protection of the earth. That mechanical structure simply cannot support it to move."

　"So, you need to try to see if you can activate it in other ways, such as using the power to protect your destiny, etc... In short, if all else fails, just give up on activating the creation engine and come directly to the team battle."

　"So all those decryption steps we skipped along the way accumulated into one big thing at the end?"

　Xing said somewhat helplessly.

　"Protecting one's destiny...March, your Six-Phase Ice can provide a shield, right? Doesn't that count as...?"

　"The Amber King would never use something so simple as a storage item!"

　Just as everyone was still figuring out how to activate the creation engine, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly spread out from not far away from them.

　"Ah! It seems that Lingmo has already started fighting the Star Core!"

　March exclaimed in surprise, "Uh, wait, is that Suzuma?"

　"Without a doubt, apart from looking a size bigger than Suzumo, it is Suzumo."

　Since the distance wasn't too far, Xing could clearly see the girl's signature pink hair.

　"However, it seems that Lingmo is no match for that incarnation that is suspected to be the star core."

　Dan Heng frowned slightly. As the strongest person present (at least he had been stronger before), his analysis of the battle situation was much better than others. Therefore, he could clearly see that Ling Mo was definitely at a disadvantage.

　In other words, in Suzuma's plan, the Creation Engine should be an indispensable part? But how could she pin her hopes for victory on something that even we might not be able to activate, especially since there wasn't anyone in the team who had embarked on the path of survival?

　unless……

　Dan Heng glanced at Xing discreetly and noticed that the girl's expression was also becoming anxious as Ling Mo was falling behind. He then silently withdrew his gaze.

　Xing once inexplicably awakened a destiny of destruction on the space station. Could it be that... Lingmo wants her to embark on the path of preservation once again?

　However, how can Lingmo guarantee that Xing will definitely embark on the path of preservation, and how can she guarantee that Xing will be able to activate the creation engine after embarking on the path of preservation?

　"..."

　Danheng's thinking had reached a dead end.

　However, at this moment...

　"Oh no!"

　"Lingmo!"

　March and Hoshino's exclamations rang out simultaneously.

　Dan Heng looked up and realized that the battle in the distance seemed to have reached a fever pitch.

　To be precise, it's the white-hot stage on the star's core.

　Whether it was because the girl was caught out of her way or because of the overwhelming power, when Dan Heng looked up, the girl, who was barely holding on, had been completely pierced through the chest by a huge ice spear and pinned to a stone wall.

　If it were a normal person, they would probably have died on the spot. Even with the blessing of opening up a new destiny, Lingmo would probably still be in grave danger.

　But...didn't Uncle Yang mention to them that Lingmo seems to be very hard to kill?

　Dan Heng, who was a bit of a left-right brain conflict, immediately said in a deep voice: "March, Xi'er, you and I will go to support Lingmo now. Xing, you can use Lingmo's black card, so you continue to try to start the creation engine here."

　Based on some speculation about Lingmo's plan, Danheng deliberately turned back and added, "Xing, it seems that the Creation Engine is crucial to the outcome of the entire battle, and even to the safety of Lingmo and our lives..."

　"Let's use the Creation Engine on the Star Core for Suzuma's sake!"

　"Hey, but wasn't it already confirmed that the black card is useless...?"

　March seemed a little confused, but under Danheng's serious expression, she immediately chose to follow his instructions.

　"I……"

　Xing looked at the creation engine with some confusion, but when she thought of Lingmo being pierced by the ice spear, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

　She knew that in Lingmo's current form, this attack might not be able to kill her, but... what if Lingmo suffered even more serious damage later? What if the Star Core had a special attack against data life forms?

　"I understand... I'll figure out a way to start it."

　……

　On the other side, the main battlefield of Yongdongling.

　"Lingmo! Are you... are you alright...?"

　Upon seeing Lingmo pierced by the ice spear, Bronya exclaimed in surprise and almost immediately drew her gun and stepped out of Lingmo's "protective range".

　"No, don't worry..."

　A thick black mist instantly erupted from Lingmo's chest, completely eroding the ice spear that had already achieved the "heart-to-heart" feat with the girl.

　"It's just a minor fatal wound... no big deal."

　"You...you're not even human anymore..."

　Seeing Suzuma stagger down from the sky with a large hole in her chest, just like the one in the Ragnarok, even Cocolia couldn't help but feel a sense of horror in her voice.

　"I already said it's not a big problem..."

　With a casual gesture, she coated her chest with the power of creation using the Black Abyss White Flower, and then raised her gun again, aiming it at the star core in the sky.

　As mentioned before, as a Divine Key extracted from the system, Suzuma only has one chance to unleash the zeroth rated power when using the Black Abyss White Flower. After using this chance, no matter how severe Suzuma's injuries are, she can recover completely.

　Cecilia's character card contains an ability similar to "Battle Continuation," which allows her to forcibly lock her health using the restorative power from Holy Blood, enabling her to continue fighting for a period of time.

　So... for Lingmo, since she's already been knocked into a state of invincibility, no matter how bad she looks, it's not a big deal. She can use the Black Abyss White Flower to refresh her status when the invincibility is about to end.

　More importantly... who knows, if a distant star saw her like this, it might just be triggered and unlock her destiny's protective power...

　Of course, it's okay if you really can't unlock it. At worst, you can just wait until Cecilia's character card expires, and then Suzuma will break her cane and call for help.

　Thinking of this, Lingmo was filled with energy once again.

　"Come again!"

　A dazzling light shone once again atop the black abyss and white flowers. Suzumo had unhesitatingly used her second chance at the first-rate power rating for this character card.

　"—!"

　Similarly, on the Star Core side, it seemed somewhat surprised by how difficult Lingmo was to kill. The humanoid form that the Star Core condensed emitted a sharp, piercing buzzing sound, and then it raised one hand high, and streams of dark golden energy began to gather in her hand.

　Suzuma, who was familiar with the mechanics of the Cocolia boss battle, immediately recognized that this should be Cocolia's ultimate move in the second phase of the game.

　"I am the black one heading to hell; I am the white one from heaven; I will turn the world upside down and restore order to humanity..."

　Almost simultaneously, Suzuma immediately changed the incantation of the Black Abyss White Flower from its original offensive first rated power to the second rated power used for defensive counterattacks.

　"Black Abyss White Flower, Second Rated Power - Holy Lance Reversal!"

　A surge of white light immediately erupted, replacing the black mist that had been covering the spear. Driven by the Black Abyss White Flower, Lingmo held the spear diagonally in front of her, and white creative power enveloped the three of them, preparing to take the ultimate attack from the Star Core.

　but……

　Before the star core could fully charge up, a giant fist wreathed in red flames descended from the sky and slammed heavily onto the star core.

　If this were a game, the word "destroyed" would probably already be appearing above the Star Core's head at this point.

　"Get away from my Lingmo!"

　Chapter 110 After the battle ends, who will Xing vent her anger on? It's hard to guess.

　"Huh? This thing can actually be driven!"

　March, arriving late, looked at the sky with a bewildered expression: "Wait, what have we been doing running around for so long?"

　“Didn’t Lingmo say before that it’s a miracle that such a thing can move? How much it can move depends entirely on the protective divine power. Besides, look at Xing’s hand.”

　Dan Heng pointed to the star standing on the creation engine's shoulder: "We've never seen that red, shield-like spear before."

　“That is the lance of the first High Guardian, Alisarand.”

　At this moment, Bronya answered their questions: "Theoretically, this weapon should have been lost long ago. After all, the Great Guardian took this gun with him when he entered the Rift alone at the end of his life... I didn't expect to see it here."

　"And... I'm sorry, although I came here with Suzuma, my combat abilities aren't much of a help..."

　"It's alright, look, we're in the same boat..."

　March chuckled and scratched his head, "Everyone just needs to complete their own tasks. For example, I can take over the defense of the position now, okay?"

　"Although they're all made of ice, so they can't break through my defenses... it won't be so easy for you to break through my Six-Phase Ice!"

　"However, that star core probably doesn't have the energy to deal with us here now."

　Dan Heng took out the Strike Cloud and looked at the two people fighting in the air: "And... if I go up there, wouldn't the proportion of people using guns in this team be a bit too high?"

　"Oh, no."

　Danheng suddenly lowered his head again.

　"Forget it, let's deal with the destructive creations and ice shards generated by the star core around us... It doesn't seem like it's a good idea to go up and provide support in the current situation."

　"Eh? Why…"

　March glanced up, then immediately understood and lowered her head: "Dan Hengxi'er, don't rush, let me put the shield on each of you first!"

　At the same time, Xing, who had just dealt a heavy blow to Xing Core with "Iron Fist of Preservation", also successfully caught Ling Mo in the air.

　"Lingmo, your body..."

　"Do not worry."

　Lingmo puffed out her chest with a grin. Her previous Laigushi cosplay look had disappeared, replaced by an alluring figure exposed by a large hole in her clothes. Her previous statement was: "That was on purpose."

　"So, intentionally?"

　"yes……"

　Lingmo, who was beaming with pride, didn't notice Xingbao's darkening expression at all: "Because in this state I have combat continuation, no matter how serious the injuries are, as long as they're not cut into minced meat, let alone being stabbed through the chest, even if I'm cut in half at the waist, I can be saved with zero rated power."

　"Since we've already been knocked out of battle anyway, why not fight a little more aggressively and not waste Black Abyss White Flower's resurrection opportunity... Eh? Eh? Eh?"

　Before Lingmo could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a weight on her chest as a small, gray-haired head slammed into it.

　"It's good that you're alright... I was really scared just now."

　Perhaps because he had buried his face in Suzumo's chest, Hoshi's voice sounded a little muffled.

　"Sorry, sorry... Ouch—"

　Before Lingmo could finish speaking, a slight stinging pain came from her chest. Of course, the stinging pain only lasted for a moment, almost immediately, before it was replaced by a wet lick.

　"I can't be the only one who gets punished when I make a mistake. Lingmo should also be punished when she does something stupid."

　Xing lifted her head from Lingmo's chest and said angrily.

　"That last bite was just to recoup a small portion of the interest; we'll deal with the rest after this is over... For now, let's address the issue of the star core."

　As she spoke, the girl rubbed against Lingmo's soft, sweet-smelling chest again, then slammed the Flame Spear into the Creation Engine.

　"This big guy can basically obey my commands now, but it doesn't have much protective ability left on it, so if you have any plans, Suzumo, please do them as soon as possible."

　"Actually, at this point, I don't have any plans anymore..."

　Because of the raccoon's "outrageous" behavior, Lingmo's cheeks were still slightly flushed, but the girl still tried her best to be serious.

　"The energy that the Star Core can release during each active period is limited. In addition, I severed the connection between the Star Core and its carrier Cocolia at the beginning of the battle and have been protecting Cocolia from being controlled by the Star Core again... Therefore, the Star Core's energy expenditure has always been in an 'over-limit' state."

　"Even if it is a star core, the energy stored inside is not infinite. Moreover, it seems that this star core does not have the ability to self-destruct. We just need to hold out until its energy is used up."

　Lingmo waved the communicator in her hand: "So next, you can boldly operate the creation engine to hammer it. I have already notified Uncle Yang and Himeko to come down and seal the star core as soon as possible."

　"Oh, by the way, Uncle Yang said he's very interested in this big robot. If possible, remember to leave some energy for him to study... Maybe next time he'll be able to handcraft an identical creation engine."
