Chapter 298 - Chapter 56: Cocolia's Curtain Call

"Why! Why is there still such powerful Preservation power!"

Watching her attack, which originated from the Stellaron's power, being blocked by two mechanical giants, Cocolia angrily questioned.

"Clearly! You never paid attention to us! And you never saved us, leaving us with only endless despair! And now, the Stellaron has answered me, giving new hope, yet you appear now to stop us!"

Looking at Cocolia, who had completely transformed into a monster in the air, Stelle's gaze darkened: "Just now, I saw your history. Indeed, the power of a single person cannot contend with the Stellaron, but we have countless people willing to fight against the disaster brought by the Stellaron!"

As Stelle spoke, the Flaming Lance once again shot out flames, and immense Preservation power erupted from it, covering everyone present.

It seemed even the will of the former Guardians understood that this was Belobog's final battle.

The Stellaron's power was strong.

It could drive away the Antimatter Legion seven hundred years ago, create blizzards that froze the entire planet, and conjure the Fragmentum that corroded everything.

But...

Cocolia, as its vessel, had limits.

It was like having an enormous reservoir, but a very thin pipe.

The power Cocolia could unleash at one time was limited by her own capabilities.

The Engine of Creation and the Shikoutazer, under the control of Stelle and Takatsuki, performed a mixed double attack on Cocolia in the air.

And to prevent being beaten down by the two giant robots, Cocolia could only draw power from the Stellaron without restraint.

It was like a water balloon, constantly being filled with water.

Although it was constantly expanding and growing, it was also becoming fragile, until it would burst with a single poke.

And Stelle's Flaming Lance played such a role.

The crystallization of Preservation power, ignited by Stelle's scorching strength, propelled by flames, Stelle pierced Cocolia's body.

"Ah!!! He! Deceived me!"

A huge burst of Void Energy erupted, instantly sending Stelle flying from the air, and even the two giant robots were shaken off balance and fell.

The Engine of Creation tumbled down the cliff, while the Shikoutazer, as it was about to press down on the people below, was instantly recalled by Takatsuki, preventing friendly fire.

Although Stelle, who was sent flying by the energy burst from Cocolia, constantly tried to adjust her landing posture by relying on the flames sprayed from the Flaming Lance, ultimately, this thing was just a special effects weapon, not a thruster.

Just as she was about to crash heavily onto the ground from a high altitude, a force held her suspended in the air.

"Huh?"

Stelle waved her hands and legs in the air, somewhat bewildered, but she didn't touch anything she could use for leverage.

"Oh, Stelle, what are you doing? You're almost exposed."

March 7th watched Stelle constantly flailing in the air, her entire body going from lying horizontally in the air to almost head-down, her skirt about to fall due to gravity. She immediately rushed to Takatsuki's side and quickly covered Takatsuki's eyes.

"Don't look!"

"Huh?"

The moment his vision was lost, the buoyancy supporting Stelle suddenly disappeared, causing Stelle to plop down from a height of four or five meters.

"Ah, ouch, ouch..."

"Stelle, are you okay?"

March 7th quickly ran over.

"I'm fine, but what was that just now? Why did I suddenly fall again?"

Stelle's words made March 7th a little embarrassed: "Ahaha, maybe... the power of Preservation weakened..."

"But, what's the situation with Cocolia now?"

The few of them looked up at Cocolia in the air, who was still continuously erupting powerful Void Energy: "She's not going to transform again, is she?"

Different changes began to appear on Cocolia's body, which was already in a monster form.

"No, her body... is starting to collapse."

Dan Heng, who had been idle, noticed Cocolia's state: "She can't bear the Stellaron's power anymore."

As Dan Heng spoke, Cocolia suddenly lost her power and crashed heavily onto the ground from the air, her appearance returning to its original form.

"What!? Mother!"

Bronya was greatly alarmed and wanted to run towards Cocolia, but Big Seele pulled her back.

"Don't go!"

"No! Don't take her away!"

Amidst Bronya's cries, Cocolia, under the immense power of the Stellaron, vanished without a trace like a Fragmentum monster.

"No..."

Bronya knelt in the snow, looking at the Stellaron that remained in place.

As Cocolia, who had triggered the Stellaron's energy, disappeared, the surrounding Fragmentum monsters also rapidly vanished, and the Silvermane Guards' battle finally ended.

"I didn't expect... such a result. Is this the Stellaron? How do we deal with it?"

Gepard walked over, carrying his shield. Even after a bitter struggle, there were still no wounds on his body.

"We don't have experience dealing with the Stellaron. Uncle Yang usually handles it. Let's call Uncle Yang. Once the Stellaron is sealed, the blizzards and the expansion of the Fragmentum on your planet will stop."

March 7th looked at the Stellaron in front of her, unable to think of a solution.

"Didn't Takatsuki say he came to deal with the Stellaron? Takatsuki, do you have a way?"

Stelle looked at Takatsuki. Now that everything was resolved, as long as the Stellaron was dealt with, everything would be over.

"To be honest, I'm not sure either. Dan Heng, are there any characteristics of the Stellaron that need attention?"

Takatsuki thought for a moment and asked Dan Heng.

"The Stellaron has strong corrosive properties and immense Void Energy. Rashly touching the Stellaron might turn one into a monster like Cocolia just now, or turn into dust. Besides that, if you attack the Stellaron, the attack will trigger the energy within the Stellaron to counterattack."

So that's it, it's a bit similar to Honkai Energy... perhaps because Honkai itself was born by drawing Void Energy, or perhaps because of the setting within the same world view, so the similarity is high.

After checking his own trump cards, Takatsuki said to the others: "You all stay far away for now. I'll go see if I can destroy the Stellaron. To prevent being affected, please keep your distance. Seele, you go to Sister March first."

"Seele understands, Takatsuki, please be careful."

Out of trust in Takatsuki, the others didn't say much, only reminding him to be careful before retreating to the edge, watching Takatsuki walk towards the Stellaron.

The Stellaron wasn't large; it could be held in one hand.

As Takatsuki walked towards the Stellaron, he heard a voice in his mind.

"Do you want power?"

Is this the voice of the Stellaron?

Takatsuki didn't feel the headache that Gepard and the others had experienced before, perhaps due to the help of the Fenghuang Down in his mind, or perhaps because of the Heaven's Stairway that had already spontaneously appeared beside him.

"Go, Heaven's Stairway."

Ignoring the Stellaron that kept chattering in his mind, Takatsuki gave a command to Heaven's Stairway.
