Chapter 567

Regardless of Cocolia is insane or has ulterior motives, Serval, who has been betrayed twice by her dear best friend, now firmly believes that Cocolia has absolutely no intention of doing anything good.

She is the "Supreme Guardian," and whether the Supreme Guardian has gone mad or her mentality has deteriorated, she is a huge disaster for the people of Belobog.

This country, which has stood firm against wind and snow for seven hundred years, is indeed very strong. However, the people's strength can only resist the wind and snow from the outside world, but it cannot stop the internal decay.

Long, long ago, there was a Supreme Guardian the people called the "Fool." Because of his own incompetence and foolishness, he was manipulated by treacherous officials.

During her reign, this incompetent Supreme Guardian, though subjectively wanting to govern Belobog well, was manipulated by treacherous officials, causing immense suffering to the people.

Now, according to Serval's plan, Cocolia is now a combination of "traitor" and "fool".

She wasn't meeting Cocolia for the first time; she certainly knew better than anyone how intelligent this person had been in the past.

If a fool who is manipulated can cause many problems, then the disasters caused by a clever person who actively starts trouble in the position of the Supreme Guardian will certainly be even more severe.

Sigh, I have to find a way to get out of here.

If I get killed here by Cocolia, then...

The next victim will probably be Gepard.

Killing Gepard Landau, the Silvermane Guards frontline commander who was extremely loyal to Cocolia, would not be of any benefit to Cocolia on the surface.

But Cocolia is already doing things that 'seem to be pointless' today, and now that Serval is dead, who can guarantee that Cocolia won't go crazy and attack Gepard later?

This is undoubtedly an extreme or even outrageous idea, but when an extremely outrageous idea is applied to an extremely outrageous person, Serval feels there is no problem at all.

And it is precisely because of this that Serval, who has already touched upon certain thresholds of power, feels...

"Hey guys, I'm telling you, it's not going to work for me to just stay here like this."

Looking at the Silvermane Guards watching over her outside the door, Serval said helplessly.

"Look, I've obediently come with you all, so can you give me a sneak peek?"

"After all, I really didn't do anything wrong—it's a real injustice that I'm here."

"I'm sorry, I have no comment."

As expected, Cocolia won't let these people talk to me—after all, if we were allowed to communicate, I would have a better chance of getting some information out of them.

Well then, I feel that power is getting stronger and stronger, I think...

"Fine, let's leave it at that then."

As a burst of lightning suddenly spread from Serval's body to the surroundings, the prison that was originally large enough to imprison her was directly broken open by Serval using her newly acquired power.

"Storage protection..."

Looking at her colleagues whom she had casually taken down, Serval sighed helplessly.

"In order to protect our former colleagues, it's inevitable that we'll have to be a little rough with them."

"Since Cocolia has gone mad, confronting her now will only result in her finding a way to suppress or even kill her."

"There are people throughout Belobog who are dissatisfied with this guy, so now..."

The rock star, who should have been full of passion and ready to take action, found after calming down that all he could do now was to lie low and see how things went.

Although she was truly innocent this time, without sufficient evidence, most people would still side with Cocolia.

So, thinking about it carefully, the only reason Cocolia would suddenly target me is probably because I had come into contact with the [Star Core].

She definitely plans to do something else with the star core, and the outsider who caused such a commotion yesterday...

Hey, no wonder she was in a hurry.

The outsiders suddenly appeared, and after being treated with great courtesy by Cocolia the day before yesterday, Cocolia suddenly turned on them yesterday.

And today, Cocolia turned her gun on me, someone who had contact with the Star Core...

Let's hide and observe first. If the opportunity arises...

—Sorry, my dear sister.

This time, I won't let you continue to act recklessly.

Belobog - Kliper Castle

After giving the order to capture Serval, Cocolia began to consider her next move.

The reason she wanted to win over her former best friend Serval, first was simple—Silva knew too much.

Lin Yu was telling the truth, but he couldn't prove that what he said was true.

But if we include Serval, an insider, then things become much more complicated.

After all, Serval was extremely skilled in scientific research, so even though she had never actually seen the star core back then, Cocolia did not dare to underestimate her in this regard.

Honestly, if it weren't for the concern that the Landau family, the Belobog clan, would be resisting too fiercely, how could Serval have survived until now?

As for Serval's combat strength...

Cocolia wasn't sure, since they hadn't had any contact or communication for many years.

But Cocolia was certain that Serval was a smart person.

She's a smart woman; she should know that acting recklessly at this time would only smear the Langdao family and serve no purpose other than to discredit them.

Theoretically speaking, Cocolia shouldn't be worried about Serval escaping.

But now, Cocolia, who is becoming increasingly uneasy, feels that she has made a mistake somewhere.

It wasn't because of those outsiders— Cocolia's worries about them had lessened considerably after she had already decided to use the power of the Star Core to deal with these annoying guys.

It wasn't because she was very confident, it was mainly because...

If she wins, all her worries will be unnecessary.

If she loses, it means even a star player can't handle the opponent, so her worries will be even more unnecessary.

From the moment Belobog was shrouded in snow, the country has been struggling to survive.

Now, Cocolia is worrying so much while fighting for the country's survival—this only makes her misjudge and serves no other purpose.

Then, as Cocolia was thinking this, she heard a communication from the guards.

"What did you say?!"

"Lady Cocolia, Serval Landau just escaped directly from prison."

After repeating the message, the guard asked cautiously.

"What's our next step...?"

"Capture her, dead or alive... no, execute her immediately."

After uttering these harsh words, Cocolia added to the Silvermane Guards in front of her with a gloomy expression.

"This woman is colluding with outsiders to try and shake the foundations of Belobog. You tell everyone—don't be soft on Belobog! Being soft on her is betraying Belobog!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Cocolia watched the retreating guards and felt her head throb even more.

She thought that after so many years, Serval would have grown to a point where she understood the bigger picture.

To her surprise, this woman was at least ten times crazier than she had been back then.

After she was imprisoned, the steward of the Landau family protested on behalf of the Landau family.

If the process goes smoothly, Serval will only need to stay in jail for a while before she can leave without any trouble—after all, she really hasn't done anything wrong.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Originally, Serval was pure white, but after Serval escaped from prison, she gave people the feeling of "Why did you just escape from prison without waiting for a defense?"

Moreover, escaping from prison is a serious crime, and now she has completely and utterly plunged herself into a quagmire.

However, Cocolia was not happy at all about this.

Because of Serval's actions, she inadvertently disrupted her subsequent plans.

Although this would allow Serval to deplete some of the Silvermane Guards's power, Cocolia couldn't really laugh now, given the future where she would have to consume some of the Star Core's power first.

If Cocolia wins the duel with Lin Yu, a portion of the Star Core's power will be consumed.

In the worst-case scenario, after the Star Core loses some of its power, Cocolia will have to wait longer for it to recover its strength in order to advance her plans.

If she were to have her table overturned by her subordinates during this time, then there would be no future for her to discuss.

It's all in chaos, complete chaos.

Serval, so many years have passed, and you...

—How come you're still blocking my path to saving the world!

Belobog, Upper Town

In the upper town of Belobog, Bronya, who had just returned from the lower town, looked at everything familiar before her with a look of melancholy in her eyes.

To be honest, she still couldn't figure out that bitter choice, which side she should choose.

But Bronya, having witnessed the turmoil in the outside world, soon had no time to think about these things.

"Hey, you guys up ahead... um, you're the outsiders?"

While being pursued by the Silvermane Guards, Serval saw Bronya and the Train Crew Members around her whose attire was clearly not local, and waved and shouted to them.

"Hey, help me, outsider."

"After you help me neutralize these Silvermane Guards — Bronya, don't look at me like that, your mother has gone mad."

After giving Bronya a sharp retort without hesitation, Serval continued speaking to the group.

"After you help me subdue these Silvermane Guards, I will tell you a huge secret."

Chapter 24 of the Trailblaze Chapter focuses on gender equality.

Bronya, who was already very familiar with the current situation, immediately had some unfriendly thoughts about her mother after seeing Serval.

Serval Landau, a close friend of Cocolia Rand, was arguably the top technical expert among the City Builder of Belobog at the time.

However, due to some events, she was later expelled from the City Builder's team by Cocolia.

Of course, for various reasons, Bronya not only didn't dislike her much, but actually trusted her completely.

That's why, even though Bronya already knew what kind of sins her mother was committing, she made a judgment when she saw Serval being hunted down.

Her pitiful and lamentable foster mother was probably preparing to completely destroy her former best friend.

After all, it seems that Serval, as the top person in the technology department at the time, must have had a lot of knowledge about the Star Core.

After these outsiders became a variable, she was eager to take action against those in the know...

To be honest, Bronya sadly discovered that she was not surprised at all.

After all, in her eyes, her decisive and efficient mother really was that kind of person.

"Wait, who are you...!"

Seeing Serval to Bronya and the wanted criminals beside her, the Silvermane Guards immediately shouted at Bronya.

"Commander Bronya! Please return to our side!"

"Lady Cocolia has been worried about you—don't let these outsiders mislead you!"

"... Everyone."

After listening to her colleagues' words of advice, Bronya was moved for about a second before saying to them with great helplessness.

"Please lay down your weapons. Whether you participated in yesterday's operation or not, I think you should already know..."

"You are no match for the gentleman beside me. He may not hold back now. Please do not waste your lives because of Mother's wrong orders."

Wow, so direct?

Hearing Bronya's straightforward words, Lin Yu said with slight surprise.

"I thought you would ask me to go easy on you."

"I think... you may still have a lot of patience left, but that's not a reason for me to continue to wear down your patience and goodwill."

After exhaling a deep breath, Bronya's eyes suddenly became incredibly determined.
