Bengtie, I have a Collapse simulator

"My brother is very rigid. He will never question Cocolia's orders without hard evidence to his face." Shiluwa sighed.

"I understand," Gu Che nodded, "Then please, Xiluwa, delay Jeppard for a while, and we will rush to the star core first."

Since they were not sure they could convince Jeppard in a short time, in order to avoid the chaos caused by the encounter, they had to leave first.

After all, the necessary information has been obtained. The next thing to do is to ride a flying dragon and directly recover the source of the cold wave - the [Star Core]. Finally, rescue Bronya who may still be imprisoned in Krippenburg. Then this journey will come to a successful conclusion.

"Huh? But..." Xiluwa was stunned. It was not easy to pass through the Iron Guard penalty area. Are they going to force their way in?

"Don't worry, thank you Shiluwa for pointing out the location." Gu Che smiled, then snapped her fingers, and everyone disappeared in front of her.

Shiluwa was shocked by this miraculous method, but she quickly came to her senses, walked over, opened the door, and let Jeppard in.

"Sister, you don't look right, what happened?"

Xiluwa shook her head: "It's okay."

Although she was still a little frightened by what Gu Che had just done, Xiluwa tried her best to remain normal in front of Jeppard.

However, after seeing Gu Che's miraculous methods, hope began to ignite in Xiluwa's heart.

Jeppard was chatting with Shiluwa casually when he suddenly heard a noise outside the house. He frowned slightly. As a garrison officer, he could not just ignore it, so he rushed out of the house and tried to find the source of the noise.

As a result, there was no commotion in the central square. There were only residents staring blankly at the sky with indescribable astonishment on their faces.

Jeppard was puzzled and looked in the direction the residents were looking, and then his expression became the same as theirs.

There was a dragon flying in the sky. The dragon was dark blue in color, with white armor. Its huge blue wings flapped against the sky, and it was moving at a very fast speed. The turbulent air currents around it blew away the heavy snow, and it pierced straight into the snow curtain in the distance like a sharp blade, and gradually disappeared.

Xiluwa also stood beside Jeppard in surprise. Only now did she suddenly understand what Gu Che meant when he said that there was no need to walk on the ground.

Looking at the increasingly smaller figure of the dragon in the sky, Shiluwa subconsciously smiled.

Perhaps, they can really save the present Beloberg.

As for now, all she could do was to accompany her brother to resolve the chaos caused by them.

Chapter 75: Goodbye, Mother, and My Cowardice (4k)

To be honest, Walter had lived for so long, but he had never thought that one day he would be able to travel on the back of Benares.

His impression of Benares remained at a very simple level:

When she first met Benares, she tried to swallow him in dragon form, but he pulled her out of the dragon's stomach and slapped her severely when she was about to support the Second Herrscher.

The second time I saw Benares, the situation had reversed. After being attacked by Otto, he was half-crippled and had to go to the Hongmen Banquet of the Second Herrscher on the Moon. Bella was responsible for welcoming him to the banquet. At this time, Bella already had a human form, no longer just a simple Honkai beast, but more like a pseudo-Herscher.

In his world, the relationship between him and Benares has always been hostile and irreconcilable. They would always fight each other whenever they met.

Of course, there was no way around it. He had done sit-ups during the Second Collapse, causing trouble for the Second Herrscher, which ultimately led to the death of her queen. It was easy to understand why Benares in that world was hostile to him.

But when Walter actually sat on Benares's back and traveled, he still felt a little unreal.

The former enemy has now become my mount...Although it is temporary, it does not affect Walter's complicated emotions.

What kind of developments happened in Gu Che's world that could make me the uncle of the Second Herrscher?

Sighing slightly, Walter cast his gaze on March Seven and Star, who looked excited.

These two funny guys probably rode a dragon for the first time, and they couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces.

"Wow! Gu Che, this is my first time riding a dragon!" San Yue Qi excitedly shouted to Gu Che, "I didn't expect Bella to really be a dragon! I didn't expect that such a cute Bella would be so handsome after turning into a dragon!"

"So handsome!" Xing also nodded in agreement.

"You're a repeater!" Sanyueqi was dissatisfied again. Xing's habit of repeating was really hopeless.

Xing smiled awkwardly and touched his head.

"Yeah, I think so too." Gu Che also nodded approvingly and gave San Yueqi a thumbs up.

Dragon knights and the like, so cool!

Unfortunately, Bella seemed to prefer the human form to the larger and more clumsy dragon form, which shattered Gu Che's wish to ride a dragon whenever he had nothing to do.

When Gu Che asked, she replied naturally: "Because this way I can stay with my brother better."

Well, this natural attribute does have an inexplicable lethality.

Dan Heng sat aside silently with his arms folded, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something as serious as the survival of the world. He just folded his arms across his chest in deep thought.

It's really strange. It's clearly a dragon, but it doesn't have any aura of [immortality].

Dan Heng, whose predecessor was [Dragon Master Yinyuejun], was puzzled. He could transform into a dragon and also had human form. Logically, he should be a dragon descendant, but Dan Heng did not sense any such aura from Bella.

Weird, so weird.

Xier sat aside, quietly watching the changing scenery below. Although there was no expression on her face, her eyes still flashed with the curiosity that only a "sea person" could have.

She didn't think too much about it, she was just curious about new things.

After all, Xier has always been very clear about her position. She is just a thug, and it is not her job to use her brain. Her task is to listen to her companions and hit wherever they are told.

She shifted her gaze to Gu Che and Walter, two people who almost got into a fight when they met, and a rare trace of confusion appeared on her face.

It seems that with these two great gods around, there is no need for me to go on stage.

One of them can crush everyone right from the start, while the other one has mastered strange spatial means, and is definitely not a easy person to deal with.

Thinking of this, [Star Core] actually felt a bit pitiful. Even though [Star Core] knew that the person coming had bad intentions, it had no legs and could not run. It could only stay where it was and wait to be brushed, which was quite helpless.

Let’s quietly observe a second of silence for [Star Core].

Just when Xi'er was daydreaming about all sorts of things, Gu Che spoke up, "We've arrived at the snowfield that Xiluwa mentioned."

After hearing this, everyone looked serious.

Xing was a little nervous. This was her first time touching a star core... um, her first time carrying out a mission to recover a star core.

Gu Che patted Bella, motioning her to continue walking around, and then said: "The matter of star core recovery can be handled by professionals like Mr. Walter. We only need to deal with emergencies, such as cleaning up the rift creatures that appear nearby."

Gu Che turned his gaze to Walter: “Mr. Walter, please help Bella point the way.”

Walter sighed, feeling the breath of the star core, and indicated the direction to Bella.

"Wait, is this Bronya?" Seele suddenly exclaimed.

Gu Che patted Bella, and she immediately understood and descended from the sky.

As Bella landed, everyone jumped off the dragon, only to find that it was not Bronya at all.

"No, this is some kind of afterimage." Walter pushed his glasses and replied, "It is some kind of energy residue copied from the Rift..."

"That means they must have been here, right?" asked March 7.

Walter nodded without hesitation, as an affirmation.

"What are you waiting for? Let's catch up!"

........

The wind was howling on the snowfield, it was extremely cold, the snow was so thick that one could sink deep into the ground. There were many leafless tree trunks and strange ice sculptures around.

Gu Che couldn't bear to watch this, so he waved his hand and tore all the ice sculptures of the legion into pieces. The monsters still trapped in the ice couldn't resist at all, and were torn apart by the terrifying and strange power of space, unable to even scream. By the way, Gu Che also cleared the way ahead.

"Coach, I want to learn!" Xing looked at Gu Che's amazing skills, stars in his eyes, and said excitedly.

"It's innate, it can't be taught," Gu Che shook his head, "just like you are born with the ability to swing a baseball bat well."

Xing scratched his head awkwardly, and subconsciously felt that what Gu Che said made a lot of sense.

Sanyueqi stretched and said, "Wow, it's really cold here."

“After all, we are not inside Beloberg and there is no heating facility. It is natural to be cold. Besides, this place is close to the [Star Core]…” Dan Heng nodded and explained.

"Anyway, let's hurry up. The [Star Core] is nearby. Let's find it and recover it first." Gu Che said, taking the hand of Bella, who had turned into a human form, and walked behind Walter.

He was not familiar with the [Star Core], so this matter had to be left to professionals.

At the same time, Xilin in the Holy Scar Space silently took out a small notebook and started writing and drawing with gritted teeth.

I will remember this grudge!

Gu Che actually missed Sangbo who was abandoned by them. Although that person seemed to be a bit mean, leading the way seemed to be his innate ability, and he was obviously experienced.

Walter sighed, feeling the breath of the [Star Core] while following the direction of the afterimage and walking in front to lead the way.

He actually wanted to leave more training opportunities for the younger generations, but when he looked at the three-member train team who were fighting with the world-ripping creatures approaching here, he couldn't help but smile like an old father.

Forget it, maybe this is also an opportunity for training.

...................

When everyone followed the afterimage all the way to the [Star Core], they happened to meet Bronya and Cocolia who had also just arrived here.

Bronya held her forehead with one hand, her expression somewhat painful. Her already dizzy head was now filled with a complicated voice, which was full of temptation and inducement. Bronya knew that it was the mumbling of the [Star Core].

And Cocolia stood beside her, constantly saying, "Don't resist, Bronya - accept the common will!"

At the same time, Bronya's mind, which was already confused by the whispers, also began to reveal some images that the [Star Core] wanted to convey to her.

【Give up the meaningless lingering life and erase all the stale marks of the old world.】

【A world without poverty, cold and pain. 】

[Embrace destruction, a new world will be reborn in the ruins! ]

"...No...don't...this is not what I want..." At this moment, Bronya was like a small boat on the sea full of wind and waves. The waves raised by the star core kept hitting her. She was floating in the sea, and it seemed that she would be completely submerged by the sea water in the next moment.

Cocolia continued to seduce: "Look at the future they promised, Bronya! A world without poverty, cold, and pain; a world where people no longer have to beg for survival like prisoners; a world we can protect forever."

"For seven hundred years, we kept trying and fighting, thinking that the light of humanity would guide us to revival. The result? We failed miserably!"

At this time, Kokolia looked at the star core devoutly: "Why is it that when faced with an irresistible force, the first thing we do is always to resist and plug our ears instead of listening to its demands?"

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to Bronya again. At this moment, there was no love and concern for a mother for her daughter in Cocolia's eyes. There was only indifference and emptiness: "That is the indelible vanity and cowardice deep in human nature. Abandon them and untie the shackles that bind you! The star core will lead mankind to evolution, He will..."

Before Cocolia could finish her words, Bronya suddenly disappeared before her eyes. She was startled and looked around suddenly.

"Haha," Gu Che seemed to be possessed by Otto at this moment, patting his head and praising, "This is really a good show. If I were you, Cocolia, I should probably kneel down in front of the tombs of the previous great guardians and perform a scene of laughter and tears on the spot."

"As the Great Guardian, he rebelled first, denied Beloberg's long-held belief in [preservation], and turned to [destruction], thinking that [destruction] could bring new life to the world. That's really interesting." Gu Che glanced at Bronya who was surrounded by the crowd and continued to taunt, "What's the difference between this and those fanatics in my hometown who believe that [Honkai Impact] can bring new life to civilization, don't you think, Mr. Walter?"

Walter was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.

If he hadn't known that he was his student, he would have thought that this guy was another soul steel body of Otto. But it made sense when he thought about it. Gu Che had studied with Otto for a period of time, so it was understandable that he had learned something.

"You're here after all. I thought this blizzard would bury you..." Facing Gu Che's ridicule, Cocolia frowned slightly, "I just didn't expect that this cold seems to have frozen your mouths even harder."

But Gu Che was no longer paying attention to her at this time. He turned around and asked Bronya:

"Are you ok?"

Bronya nodded slightly: "Thank you, I already know what to do."

She had already recognized the reality. Perhaps the Cocolia Rand standing in front of her was no longer her mother. She had already felt the erosion and temptation from the [Star Core], so she knew very well that her mother was no longer there.

Yes, but it's just a puppet controlled by the [Star Core].

This doll may be the current Great Guardian, or her nominal mother, but Bronya will not admit it. She will not admit that Cocolia, who denied the efforts of her predecessors and joined [Destruction], is her mother.

Her mother had already died in the fight against the [Star Core].

Bronya had already made up her mind. She took a deep breath, gave everyone a reassuring look, and walked back to Cocolia. In Cocolia's empty and cold eyes, she slowly said:

"Cocolia, you said that the deepest part of human nature is stupidity and cowardice. Maybe it's true. Desperate situations will reflect the darkest side of people's hearts."

"But you miss the ones who are trying to survive and fight in desperate situations. I see the light in them, in the front line of the penalty area, in the bottom zone, in the corners that you ignore."

"Our ancestors built this city with their own hands, and struggled to continue civilization in the swaying wind and snow. Even if this world is destined to fall apart, the road to the end should be paved by humans themselves—"

Bronya slowly raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at the mother who had taught and raised her.

"Instead of leaving your fate to this seed of disaster!"

Bang!

The power of [Preservation] was applied to the determined girl, and Bronya pulled the trigger at Cocolia, stabbing the bayonet on the rifle into her body.

"Goodbye, mother, and... my cowardice."

Chapter 76: When I, the queen, return, Bella will have a hard time!

Looking at this scene of loving mother and filial daughter, Gu Che's heart was filled with satisfaction and admiration.
