Starry Sky Railway, the order of abundance makes me want to die

The surging imaginary energy instantly engulfed Felicity's body, symbolizing that the power of "pollution" was constantly spreading, growing, and destroying, until it devoured all life and left only a dead shell.

【Destruction! Destruction! Destruction!】

The star core let out its last roar. Having lost all its energy, it could no longer maintain its form. It began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually turned into a small ball the size of a fist.

Without all its power, the little wisdom it had managed to create would also perish.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it drifts to a planet with life, it will be able to come back to life.

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

It can even defeat the Order, so what else can stop it! ?

however--

Just before it was about to lose consciousness, it saw a emerald green light flash again.

【you......】

"It looks like you failed to kill me."

Felittis held her chin with her hand, reached out and gently pinched the star core, her tone full of undisguised disappointment.

"Then it's your turn to die."

boom.

Felittis didn't even need to exert much effort, the core of the star turned into fragments and naturally dissipated in the universe.

It felt relieved before it died.

[I'm sorry that I couldn't get the Master of the Order of Plenty to use his full strength.]

"..."

"Oh, that's bad. I should have saved half for the Black Tower as a gift."

After a while, Felittis seemed to suddenly remember something and shook her head in annoyance.

The star core originally kept in the black tower can't speak, so she will definitely be interested in this one.

She sighed, turned around and looked in the direction where the Starry Sky Train stopped.

Walter's figure slowly floated over.

"...What happened?"

Walter asked hesitantly.

"Nothing. Just now a star core was about to explode with me, and then I killed it."

Felittis answered casually.

"What about the star core?"

"Broken."

"..."

Walter covered half of his face with one hand, and suddenly felt fortunate that Felittis was their companion.

He had also felt this terrifying power on the Star Train just now. After discussing it with Ji Zi, he came alone to check the situation.

It just happened to be in line with the breath that Felittis sensed before getting off the car - the power of this star core was extremely strong. It was hard to imagine that just the erosion of Yalilo-VI could give it such powerful power. Should it really be said that it was worthy of being called the cancer of all things?

Walter shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the messy thoughts. He adjusted his glasses and his eyes fell on Felittis again.

"Are you OK?"

Then, he got a look of idiocy.

"Do I look like I'm dying?"

Felittis asked back speechlessly, shrugged her shoulders, turned around and floated to the giant tree that carried her away from Yalilo-VI. With a light tap of her fingers, the giant tree quickly shrank downwards.

Chapter 44 The End of the Crisis

When Bronya received Pera's notification and rushed to Cocolia's office, Cocolia was already slumped on the floor in despair.

Bronya panicked all of a sudden. She immediately stepped forward to help her mother up, but she found that the arm she touched was so cold.

It was not just ordinary coldness - she felt like she was touching a piece of ice, and the hard and cold touch made her shiver uncontrollably.

Only then did she realize that under Cocolia's long sleeves, the arm that should have been white and soft was now covered with ice crystals.

"The star core...disappeared..."

Cocolia whispered in despair. She looked at Bronya desperately, her purple eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.

She seemed to suddenly wake up, stood up abruptly, looked at the sky outside the window, but was disappointed to find that snowflakes were still falling in the distant sky.

"it's all over......"

She whispered desperately.

The collapse of his faith twice plunged this strong guardian into despair. Countless past events weighed heavily on Cocolia's shoulders like a huge tripod.

She had abandoned everything, including her own humanity, and only today did she realize that the future she had been desperately trying to see was nothing more than a pipe dream.

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

Ignoring the chill emanating from Cocolia, Bronya forcibly supported Cocolia, took her back to the chair, and asked with concern on her face.

"I...Bronya, I'm a complete loser."

Tears welled up in Cocolia's eyes and she fell down.

Her soft cheek was pressed against the cold ice crystals, but she didn't care about the cold at all. She just continued to speak blankly:

"Once, my belief was as firm as yours... until an unexpected variable disrupted everything. Another choice appeared before me, which meant overthrowing the old order and welcoming the arrival of a new world. I know it sounds ridiculous, but compared to the illusory 'preservation', it is so real..."

The ice crystals on Cocolia's body became more and more numerous, already covering half of her body.

"Mother......"

Bronya's body radiated an emerald green light, and she tried to use the power given to her by Felittis to remove the influence of the star core on Cocolia.

The effect was significant. The ice crystals on Cocolia's body immediately stopped eroding and even showed signs of fading away.

But Cocolia suddenly reached out and stopped Bronya's action, and she shook her head at Bronya.

"Bronya, I feel like I've been having a long dream."

"In dreams, there is a whole new world and... a complete you."

"No one will be troubled by the blowing of wind and snow, and no one will die because of the erosion of the rift."

"But... it's over, Bronya, my beloved daughter. Everything that belonged to me is over, and my fantasy has dissipated in this snowy night."

Bronya opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but something was strangling her throat and she couldn't utter a word.

She looked at Cocolia, watching the ice crystals slowly cover half of Cocolia's body.

"History is always like this. As time goes by, it becomes a fork in the road. I choose one path, and you choose another. Now, the path I chose leads to the cliff, while the path you chose leads to a wider road."

"...I should go, Bronya. This is your era. I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no place for me in the new era."

Bronya felt her mother's last handshake with her, tears streaming down her face.

She saw a clarity in her mother's eyes that she had not seen for a long time. Those beautiful eyes were as bright as when she first stepped into Klipperburg.

Bronya could have continued to use the power borrowed from Felicity to save her mother's life from erosion, but she didn't do so.

Because she knew that Cocolia had carried too many sins.

Regardless of one’s position or situation, the sins committed are sins that cannot be washed away even by death. They will follow Cocolia forever like a shadow.

"Bronya..."

Cocolia's gaze fell on Bronya for the last time. There was a tenderness in her eyes that could only be seen when Bronya recalled the past.

"Don't let the past hold you back, remember? Good people should live a happy life."

Cocolia's hand slipped down, and she was a little afraid that her palm covered with ice crystals would freeze her daughter.

"...go live a happy life."

The ice crystals finally completely covered Cocolia, and she was frozen like an insect in amber.

But even when she was frozen, there was still a peaceful smile on her face.

"......Mother."

Two lines of tears slid down Bronya's cheeks. She dropped her arms and slowly lowered her head.

......

The city was built in 700 AD.

Bronya claimed that the former Great Guardian Cocolia discovered the truth about the snow and wind, and died with the "Star Core" with her life and will, and finally turned into an ice sculpture and disappeared.

Bronya succeeded as the Grand Guardian and announced the lifting of all bans related to the Lower District, allowing the people of the Lower District to see the sky again.

"So, everything is over?"

San Yueqi tilted his head, holding a cup of newly bought milk tea in his hand.

The wanted warrants concerning them have been removed, so they can walk on the streets openly.

"Well, it seems that Felittis went out and did something again while we were resting."

Dan Heng nodded.

"Damn it, I always feel like something is missing."

Xing touched his chest, frowned and said in confusion.

"You must have gone crazy touching the trash can~"

San Yue Qi pinched Xing's cheek.

"That's it."

Felittis, who appeared out of nowhere, nodded in approval.

"Hey! Sister Fili! I told you not to suddenly appear here!"

March 7 was startled. He turned around and saw Felicity, then puffed his lips in dissatisfaction.

"You were just too engrossed in the conversation - here, take it."

Felittis shrugged and threw a spear casually.

Xing subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, then looked down and saw the entire spear.

——So cool!

"This is......?"

Dan Heng asked.

"It was dropped by the boss. Is it weird for a boss to drop a magical item? I don't have any use for it, so I'll give it to you guys."

Felittis said, blinking.

This is a lie.

That thing was found by Felittis at the original location of the star core. When she discovered it, it was still emitting a strange light and a strong "protective" power.

"Ah this."

San Yue Qi was a little powerless to complain. She didn't know why Felittis could always talk about those game settings with a calm face, but the spear did look cool.

"Can you give it to me? This thing is much cooler than a baseball bat!"
