Chapter 16: The Third Q&A
Just as Stelle was lost in thought, a child's figure appeared not far from her.
"Who are you…" Looking at this child, Stelle couldn't help but look surprised.
"Who am I? Don't you already have the answer in your heart?" the child said, looking at Stelle with a profound expression.
"You are the collective consciousness of the past Supreme Guardians of Belobog, right?" Stelle said, looking uncertain.
"So that's what you think? Yes, and also no!" the child said, looking at Stelle with a smile.
"Seven hundred years ago, the Stellaron descended upon Jarilo-IV. We brought it back to Belobog and conducted research, but the research went wrong, causing Belobog to be permanently covered in ice and snow!"
"For the past seven hundred years, the Stellaron has been bewitching the past Supreme Guardians. The endless whispers and the demon-like cold weather have constantly weighed down on the Supreme Guardians, making it impossible for them to hold their heads up. Their responsibilities were so heavy that it was inevitable they would be bewitched by the Stellaron's whispers."
"Then why don't you destroy it?" Stelle asked a question at this moment.
"It's useless. We once sealed the Stellaron, but those endless whispers still echoed in the ears of the past Supreme Guardians. It has always been hard on them. The mistakes we made have to be borne by our descendants!" The child looked very sad, but he suppressed the sadness in his heart and continued, "I can feel that the current Supreme Guardian has also developed wrong perceptions, so I hope you can bring her back on the right track!"
"Why me?" Stelle said, looking confused.
"Do you have the determination to protect everything?" The child didn't answer Stelle's question but instead asked her.
"Determination to protect everything?" Hearing the child's words, Stelle fell into silence.
"If you do, then move forward. The answer you want is ahead!" After saying this, the child turned into countless spots of light and disappeared.
"Since that's the case, then I'll move forward. One cannot always remain stagnant in one place!" Stelle looked at the child who had disappeared, then walked forward quickly.
As she walked, Stelle came to a fiery red spear.
Looking at the fiery red spear, Stelle reached out and grabbed the hilt, but the next second, a burst of scorching heat instantly shook Stelle's hand away.
However, Stelle was not discouraged. She went forward again, grabbed the hilt with both hands, and used all her strength to pull it out directly.
As the scene changed again, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the golden-clad Qlipoth.
...
[ Star Rail - Topaz: To think she actually received the gaze of the Aeon of Preservation — Lord Qlipoth! ]
At this moment, the followers of the Aeon of Preservation — Qlipoth in the Honkai: Star Rail world were all full of surprise. After all, the Stelle in the screen had clearly already received the gaze of the Aeon of Destruction — Nanook, yet she had once again attracted the gaze of the Aeon of Preservation — Qlipoth.
[ Genshin - Rana: To receive the gaze of two Aeons, if only I could receive the gaze of a god and get a Vision, that would be great. ]
[ Genshin - Teppei: Oh gods, why won't you gaze upon me? ]
The residents of the Star Rail and Genshin worlds who had not received the gaze of an Aeon or a Vision were all envious as they watched Stelle and Lumine using different elements to fight in the scene.
[ Honkai 3rd - Murata Himeko: So, you can gain power just by being looked at by an Aeon? Should I also go find an Aeon and see if I can get power if they look at me? ]
[ Star Rail - Xuanyong: It's not the same. The Stelle in the screen clearly already understood the meaning of Preservation, which is why she attracted Qlipoth's gaze. Not everyone can receive the blessing of a Path just by being gazed at by an Aeon! ]
[ Honkai 3rd - Murata Himeko: I see! ]
...
Subsequently, Stelle rolled and stood firmly on the hand of the Architect, and the Architect slowly placed its hand on the ground.
Seeing Stelle placed on the ground, Bronya and the others hurriedly stepped forward.
"Haha!" Seeing that Stelle was safe and sound, her good friend March 7th immediately let out an excited laugh.
Stelle also turned to look at everyone and smiled, then turned her head, looking seriously at Cocolia, who was floating in mid-air, and pointed her spear at Cocolia after spinning it 360 degrees.
"This is impossible. The will of Preservation has already made its choice. You know nothing about the plight of this world… You know nothing about the ending that awaits him!" Cocolia said to the crowd in a near-roaring voice.
"Even if we are destined to perish, we will hold hands and walk bravely into that darkness…" Bronya looked at her mother with a firm tone.
"No, with us here, that kind of ending will absolutely not happen!" And March 7th, who was on the side, directly interrupted Bronya's words.
Afterward, after a hard battle with Cocolia, the Trailblazer and others won.
Cocolia returned to her original human form, but she lay on the ground, and a strange power emanated from her entire body.
Seeing this situation, Bronya rushed up, intending to save Cocolia, and shouted with a sad face: "No, don't take her away!"
Seeing Bronya rushing up, Seele hurriedly grabbed her, preventing her from moving forward.
"The future promised by the… Stellaron… has swallowed everything…" Just as the Stellaron was about to come out of Cocolia's body, Cocolia forcefully pushed it back into her body and muttered to herself.
"No… don't, Mother, please wake up!" At this time, Bronya was already extremely anxious, and tears gushed from the corners of her eyes.
Then a golden light flashed, and Cocolia disappeared in front of everyone with a smile on her face.
Seeing her mother disappear, Bronya knelt on the ground, full of disbelief.
The video ended here.
...
[ Star Rail - Bronya: No, no! How could this be? How could this be? ]
At this moment, Bronya could not accept that her mother had been eliminated, leaving no trace behind.
[ Star Rail - Stelle: I'm actually this strong! ]
Seeing that she had defeated the Mother of Deception — Cocolia, Stelle put her hands on her hips, full of pride.
[ Honkai 3rd - Bronya: Did the Cocolia in that world die? ]
[ Star Rail - Xuanyong: Who knows? ]
Looking at the question from Bronya of Honkai 3rd, Xuanyong hooked the corner of his mouth into an evil smile.
[ Genshin - Hu Tao: Is there a client here? If I could complete an order in another world, hiss… I dare not imagine it. ]
[ Genshin - Zhongli: Hall Master, we have no way to go to another world! ]
...
"Next, it's time for the happy Q&A session!"
"Did Cocolia die in the end?"
"A, Died"
"B, Didn't die, just went missing"
"C, Didn't die, taken away by some powerful existence"
