You Have a New Job (Continued)
"So, can you still move, soldier?"
"Yes... yes, Commander Cocolia!"
"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes to rest. After that, follow Red Queen's instructions to rescue your comrades."
"Yes, sir! But how Cocolia..."
How could they end up on such a dangerous front line?
This doesn't quite align with the soldiers' understanding.
"I was on the front lines during the Battle of Chiyou, I was on the front lines during the Battle of the Gem of Serenity, and I was on the front lines during the Battle of the Mariana Trench! I was not only on the front lines, but also one of the combatants. So, is it strange that the highest-ranking officer personally went to the front lines on the most important battlefields?"
The soldier scratched his head.
Honestly, it's pretty strange.
But this strangeness is somewhat reassuring.
"It's nothing, just please be careful."
The soldier scratched his head, trying to calm the mixed emotions of suddenly seeing his superior officer and having just escaped death.
"In short, well done, thank you for your efforts."
Cocolia reached out and straightened the soldier's collar, smiled, and then turned and left.
"Yes, sir, take care!"
The soldiers behind them stood at attention, saluting with their feet together and backs ramrod straight.
Cocolia rescued trapped soldiers along the way until she reached an open area. With her arms crossed, she stood proudly in the cold wind, her green shawl fluttering in the wind, displaying her dashing and heroic figure.
Ninti and Welt descended from the sky.
"How is the situation?"
"Ninti has already pushed the Herrscher of Ice out of the city, but He is still here, and we need to destroy Him."
"I see..."
"Mom is waiting for us here. Ninti will be back soon."
Ninti blinked her big, watery eyes and was about to take off again when Cocolia raised her hand and pressed her down.
"Mother?"
Ninti turned around and looked at Cocolia with a puzzled expression.
Cocolia kept a straight face, bit her lip, and after a while, squatted down and hugged Ninti tightly.
"Ninti ..."
"Mom, I'm here."
"Sorry."
"It's alright, Ninti knows, so just wait here for me to come back, Mother Cocolia."
The little girl gently hugged her mother, golden hair spilling out from her embrace, its arc swaying in the wind, each strand seemingly radiating tenderness.
—The above is based on Welt's subjective feelings as an observer.
Of course, he also understood the meaning behind the brief conversation.
Cocolia Anqi has always believed that our generation should fight every war, no matter the cost, to leave a peaceful and safe new era for our children. Now, she's sending her young daughter to the most dangerous battlefield.
"Well..."
Welt sighed, feeling a deep empathy for Walter's words.
"Cocolia, don't worry too much, Ninti is very strong now... Huh?"
Cocolia raised her foot and kicked Welt in the waist, interrupting him.
The supportive voice from Tesla came through the headset from afar:
"Yes, kick him! Kick him hard!"
"Yang, don't you want to listen to what you just said?"
Einstein echoed this sentiment.
What do you mean by saying that Ninti is very strong and there's nothing to worry about?
As elders, the two of them were completely on Cocolia's side at this moment.
Welt looked at the footprints on his waist, shook his head with a wry smile:
"What I mean is that I will follow and protect her, and I will definitely not let anything happen to her, so don't worry."
The leader humbly apologized to the La Signora who carried out the orders.
Cocolia ignored Welt's reaction, stood up, patted Ninti's head, and gently pushed her away.
"Go on, Mom will be waiting for you here."
"Um."
Ninti smiled softly, stood up, and flew into the sky.
Cocolia looked up at the small figure disappearing into the distance, her eyes glistening with tears.
Welt watched this scene with a gentle smile, then followed Ninti away.
"Joachim, stay away, don't get caught in the crossfire."
The Herrscher of Ice had been sent flying by a punch from the giant machine god, appeared in front of her. Then, Ninti turned around, her little face blank and cute, but her voice was unusually serious as she spoke.
Welt was speechless for a moment.
"Although I am no longer the Herrscher of Reason, the power of the Star of Eden has long been integrated into my instincts, so it hasn't actually weakened much."
That's what he said, but seeing the earnestness and determination in Ninti's eyes, Welt felt a warmth in his heart and nodded, stopping the flight.
It had already been agreed beforehand that this was Ninti's battlefield, and Welt wouldn't have stolen the show.
Ninti watched as Welt stopped in place, then nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and rushed towards the direction of the Herrscher of Ice.
"Ah--"
As if realizing that the massive attack that seemed to have collapsed earlier was the work of Ninti, the Herrscher of Ice let out a shrill scream, and countless ice shards rained down on Ninti.
Ninti's speed did not decrease, but an astonishing number of floating cannons appeared in the sky. The energy torrent formed by interwoven beams of light annihilated all the ice and snow attacks without any hindrance.
Before the Herrscher of Ice could react, Ninti had already rushed in front of her, raising her small fist.
'She's a very pretty girl.'
Ninti calmly looked at the Herrscher of Ice's face, which was both tearful and furious, and threw a punch, compressing the air at an extreme speed.
"Boom!!!"
Half of the Herrscher of Ice's waist disappeared without a trace, leaving only half of her body, with countless ice crystals scattered into the air from the wound.
Behind the Herrscher of Ice, the earth and the clouds in the sky were also spectacularly separated by this punch.
Siegfried and parted the Earth in the middle with a single sword strike.
With the mass and energy of the Chiyou continent, I, Ninti, can easily style my hair into a small middle part.
"Ah... ah..."
The Herrscher of Ice uttered a soft murmur, seemingly still unaware of what had happened.
"Ah!!!"
Then came an ear-piercing, frantic scream.
The sudden appearance of countless ice and snowflakes forced Ninti to retreat a little.
What followed was a towering peak a thousand meters high, the remains of the Herrscher of Ice encased in the glacier, screaming and roaring, rapidly drawing away the temperature from the surrounding hundred miles.
"If this continues, it will affect everyone."
Ninti muttered to herself, her gaze hardening, and she leaped into the sky.
The Herrscher of Ice roared, and the vast expanse of ice and snow covered everything visible to the naked eye, and continued to spread to even more distant places.
But at the same time, an unimaginably enormous shadow obscured the sky and the sun.
Welt looked up, a hint of surprise on his face.
"That's... a little different from last time."
It was as if a giant machine god had risen from the planet, with more refined and slender lines and contours, adding a touch of majesty and holiness.
"Has it been improved again? As expected of Ninti."
Welt smiled with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Ninti, piloting the latest version of the Mech God improved by Dr. Vill-V, raised her fist and swung it down.
"Ah!!!"
The Herrscher of Ice sensed the threat and screamed as she unleashed her power, rapidly raising and expanding the iceberg beneath her to form an exaggerated upward force that met the fist that seemed to be pressing down on the planet head-on.
"Boom!!!"
There was no stalemate or suspense.
The golden hand of the machine god slammed deep into the ground like a pillar supporting the sky, its fist deeply imprinted on the earth, while its arm extended into the sky, causing a violent earthquake that spread for hundreds of miles.
As for the glacier, the blizzard, and most importantly, the Herrscher of Ice herself, they all vanished into thin air in the iron arm that descended from the top of the sky.
The warm sunlight shone clearly and unobstructed on the earth.
Ninti, expressionless, withdrew the Mech God and stood above the boundless fist imprint, holding the Herrscher of Ice core that still radiated Great Honkai energy. Suddenly, she couldn't quite understand:
'How can she be so brave, actually standing there and confronting me head-on?'
