An Attack from the Underworld; Cocolia's Ominous Premonition / Bronya: "My Mother Was Taken?" An Overwhelming Emanator-Level Force!
"Me? I haven't read a book and don't understand these things. Just make the arrangements and I'll listen to you."
As the father-in-law of Xiacheng District who grew up in an orphanage, Seele had never received any systematic education before, not even a diploma from a primary school. Let her participate in Belobog's future planning and she was purely playing the piano.
In this regard, Seele herself obviously has sufficient self-awareness. Just leave management matters to those who can manage. She only knows how to fight. In this case, there is no need to think about what is and is not, and she can just follow the orders of An Xiu, the new boss.
As for personal opinions, apart from wanting Xiacheng District to develop better and not being looked down upon or even oppressed by the people in Uptown District in the future, Seele has no other personal opinions at all.
Although he seems to have a bad temper, it can be seen from various details in the original game plot that Seele is very obedient to the management and orders from his superiors, except for Bronya. The relationship between these two people in the original plot is closer to friends, and even goes beyond the scope of friendship.
"Speaking of which, according to your previous explanation, Boss An Xiu, the thing with horse legs and a bow and arrow I saw in that unknown place was the same existence as Qlipoth?"
"That's right, Qlipoth is the Aeon of Preservation's destiny, and what you saw before is the Aeon Lan that belongs to your own the Hunt destiny. They are both Aeon. It's unclear who is stronger, but they are indeed on the same level."
An Xiu opened his mouth and explained.
"Oh, those guys in the upper town have believed in Qlipoth for so many years, but in the end they didn't even look at it. Now, it's me, a guy from the lower town, who has the same gaze as Qlipoth."
"Boss, if you ask me, after we overthrow Shangcheng District, we might as well just list this... The Hunt Lan as the new object of faith. I think he is much more generous than Qlipoth."
Seele suggested enthusiastically, but An Xiu shook his head.
"You are wrong about this, whether it is Preservation Aeon Qlipoth or the Hunt Aeon Landu is not the object of faith for Belobog in the future. If Belobog must have an object of faith in the future, it can only be me, or other things related to me."
As the base of future An Xiu in the Honkai: Star Rail world, even if An Xiu does not propose it, people around future An Xiu will not allow Belobog to have other beliefs other than An Xiu and An Xiu related things.
If the Step-away Maidens under An Xiu hadn't followed, they would have already started preparing for a purge in the face of those who dared to believe in other existences under the rule of An Xiu.
However, in the world of Honkai: Star Rail, the top forces on the surface are basically backed by one Aeon. In this world, practicing atheism is somewhat out of place, and An Xiu does not want to do the kind of thing where he stands on the surface and calls himself a god.
So it would be great if he had a Aeon-level existence under his command. When will he get a clone that can elbow Aeon and let him wander around in this world?
In just a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.
Chapter 339: Attack from Xiacheng District, Cocolia's ominous premonition
After more than half a month of governance, the Xiacheng District ruled by An Xiu has begun to take on a new look.
After there was no need to risk one's life to mine, only construction within the town, and sufficient food supply, the eyes of the people in the lower city, who had gradually become numb under the pressure of survival, gradually began to glow with the brilliance of hope.
As for another force in Xiacheng District, Svarog's settlement, An Xiu has no intention of sending anyone to contact them.
After all, instead of communicating with an omnic that accepts death now, it is better to wait until An Xiu has unified Belobog and then notify the other party to submit. Anyway, An Xiu is not short of Svarog's mechas.
"In this way, the situation in Xiacheng District will be basically stable."
In the ordinary Natasha clinic that has been expanded, An Xiu sat in a separate room and spoke.
In front of him, stood Natasha, Seele, Oleg and others.
Everyone's eyes became a little serious at this moment, because now that the situation in Xiacheng District has stabilized, it means that another thing can be put on the agenda.
"It's time to start a war with Shangcheng District and tell that Supreme Guardian who is the real master of Belobog."
Just listen to An Xiu say slowly.
"Wildfire has organized some strong members in advance. After the past half month of maintenance and training, their condition has been adjusted to the best. They are ready to follow you at any time."
After hearing what An Xiu said, Natasha, who was standing in front of An Xiu, immediately spoke.
"Hey, these guys were trained using the same techniques I used to train new recruits at Silvermane Guards. Although they are not as good as the real Silvermane Guards in terms of equipment, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be much different."
Oleg on the other side also took over the conversation and introduced the general situation to An Xiu.
Hearing this, An Xiu nodded.
In fact, strictly speaking, for this war with Shangcheng District, only one Seele is enough as the real main combat force. The Emanator level of combat power is a bit excessive when placed on Belobog, which was originally only positioned as a novice village. No matter how many other manpower there is, it can only be the icing on the cake for this battle.
However, for Natasha and Oleg, the natives of Belobog who have been cut off from the world for hundreds of years, they have no combat power against Emanator level beings. It is normal to have a clear concept. They only know that Seele became very strong after being taken away by An Xiu, but they do not know how strong Seele is now.
Even Seele himself was not very clear about this at first, but only after An Xiu explained it, he had a general understanding of his power.
However, it cannot be said that the manpower prepared by Natasha and Oleg is completely useless. At least it will be helpful to assist Seele in taking over Shangcheng District after An Xiu sends Seele to deal with Cocolia.
"Then, let all relevant personnel gather near the passage leading to the upper city."
"Eradicate the tyranny of Cocolia and relieve the crisis of Stellaron!"
"Today is the day when suffering ends."
In the past half month, An Xiu has informed Natasha, Seele and others about the existence of Stellaron and the reasons why Belobog became what it is now. Therefore, everyone present knew what the goal of this operation was.
"Eradicate the tyranny of Cocolia and relieve the crisis of Stellaron!"
As long as these two things are eliminated, the situation of Belobog can be improved!
An hour later, in front of the entrance to the upper city area, a large number of people originally organized by Wildfire gathered here.
Except for the necessary manpower to maintain order in the lower city, this is all the combat personnel that Wildfire can organize.
In front of these people, An Xiu and Seele stood side by side. After confirming that all personnel had arrived, Seele, who was the main combat force in this battle, immediately waved his hand.
"Go! Overthrow Supreme Guardian Cocolia and liberate Xiacheng District!"
"Overthrow Supreme Guardian Cocolia! Liberate Xiacheng District!!!"
With uniform shouts, a group of people organized by Wildfire followed Seele at the front and headed straight for the upper city along the blocked passage.
There was no intention of contacting a certain cold-legged uncle to use a secret passage to attack Shangcheng District. Considering the current situation in Xiacheng District under An Xiu, if he wanted to overthrow the rule of Cocolia, it would naturally be more appropriate to attack him openly.
On the other side, near the entrance of the upper city passage, the upper city guard who was responsible for guarding the passage had noticed something was wrong.
Why does there seem to be a lot of movement in the passage?
"No, could it be that there was a riot in Xiacheng District? Quickly notify others to be alert and prepare to prevent Clash!"
Following the shouts of several guards, some people immediately began to try to call guards in other places to send additional manpower.
However, at this moment, a figure holding a sickle, which was completely indistinguishable to the naked eye, flashed past. The next second, a burst of screams sounded. All the guards present did not even have time to react, and they were all thrown away and fell to the ground.
"Don't worry about them, these guys won't be able to wake up for a while."
"I'll go deal with Cocolia first. You stay here to deal with the other people from the upper city who have come for reinforcements. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Seele gave orders and then went straight to Qlipoth Fort located in the center of Shangcheng District.
The remaining members of the Wildfire organization who poured out of the passage immediately began to prepare the defense line, preparing to fight the incoming guards from the upper city area.
In the offices of Qlipoth Fort and Supreme Guardian.
Cocolia I always feel that I have been a little uneasy lately.
Obviously the plan is progressing steadily, and with the help of Stellaron to embrace the future, Belobog's desire to usher in a new life is already close at hand, but since half a month ago, she has always had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Could it be that Bronya will encounter some danger? No... Recently I have not arranged for Silvermane Guards to go to Fragmentum to die. Without actively entering Fragmentum, there should be no danger in just resisting the invasion of some Fragmentum creatures."
Is it possible that she is the one in danger? That is even more impossible. With her current strength, who in Belobog can pose a threat to her Supreme Guardian?
Thinking of this, Cocolia was about to get up and open the window to get some air, but suddenly heard an announcement from his subordinates outside the door.
"Master Cocolia, Commander Bronya is here to ask for an audience."
Do you want to object to sending Silvermane Guards to actively enter Fragmentum to die?
Hearing his subordinate's words, Cocolia frowned slightly. Just as he was about to tell his subordinate to bring Bronya, a strong sense of danger suddenly appeared in his heart.
"What's going on? Not good!"
Cocolia's eyes suddenly looked to the side, only to see that the solid wall of Qlipoth Fort was suddenly broken open by a force like a hot knife cutting through butter, and then a hand wrapped with powerful destiny energy strangled her throat at some point.
Although Cocolia tried desperately to resist, the other party's figure remained calm and motionless.
"Supreme Guardian, Cocolia."
Looking at the blond woman in front of him who was lifted up with one hand, Seele showed a sneer on his lips, and then directly led her past the layers of guards around Qlipoth Fort and leaped straight out of the city.
Chapter 340: Bronya: My mother was taken away? Emanator level combat power crushing!
"Mother!"
Outside Qlipoth Fort, Bronya, who originally planned to come to see his mother, who was waiting for the summons, raised his head and found that a figure broke through Qlipoth Fort at some point, grabbing his mother's figure and disappearing towards the outside of the city.
Seeing his mother being taken away, Bronya immediately began to anxiously give orders to the Silvermane Guards stationed around Qlipoth Fort.
"Supreme Guardian has been assassinated, everyone is on alert! Separate two additional teams and follow me to recover Master Supreme Guardian!"
However, before Bronya could organize the manpower and set off, another piece of news came over.
"A riot broke out at the passage between the upper and lower cities. Did armed men from the lower city rush up?"
"Notify Commander Gepard to come for support!"
Bad news comes one after another, but now Supreme Guardian has been kidnapped. The only person left who can stand up and command Silvermane Guards is Bronya, who is the leader.
And on the other side, near Everwinter Hill.
Boom!!!
Seele arrived here and slammed Cocolia onto the ground. The opponent was forced to make a big hole in the hard frozen soil. He rolled around for several times before standing up with difficulty.
"Ahem... who are you and why do you have such powerful power?"
Feeling the absolute gap that left him powerless to resist, Cocolia gritted his teeth and asked while enduring the pain from everywhere in his body.
"A guy who will soon be dead doesn't need to know this."
Just listen to Seele speak and look at a certain position deep in Everwinter Hill.
"I heard from the boss An Xiu that Belobog is one of the two culprits who became what he is today. That Stellaron should be here, right?"
"What do you want to do?!"
Hearing Seele's words, Cocolia's expression suddenly changed. After all, Stellaron is the biggest secret in her heart, and it is also the only hope in her heart to save Belobog.
Therefore, she must not allow any problems to arise with Stellaron, let alone allow it to be coveted by others!
Immediately, Cocolia summoned Flame Spear of the Architects, which had been frozen, and shouted in his heart.
"Answer me, Stellaron!"
Suddenly, deep within Everwinter Hill, a powerful and ominous power erupted, faintly seeming to break through the already fragile limitations and come to merge with Cocolia.
However, before the above scene appeared, Seele waved the scythe in his hand that had turned into a blue after incorporating the power of the Hunt Emanator, directly suppressing this power from the air.
The next second, Seele's figure disappeared. When he reappeared, there was a completely silent semi-energy object in his hand, which was Stellaron.
"How could... this happen..."
Although Stellaron has been completely silent, Cocolia, who has been bewitched by Stellaron for a long time, obviously has not got rid of the influence of Stellaron for a while, and his brain has not turned around yet.
Looking at the silent object in Seele's hand, the future promised by Stellaron, and all the efforts she has made over the years, seem to have all come to naught at this moment.
No, it's not possible... This kind of thing is not allowed!!!
Peng!
Without giving Cocolia a chance to think more, after finishing Stellaron, Seele came to Cocolia who could no longer pose any threat, raised the sickle in his hand and knocked him unconscious.
It's not that Seele doesn't want to kill the other party. In fact, every time he thinks about the suffering he suffered in Xiacheng District and what Cocolia has done over the years, even if An Xiu knows from An Xiu that the other party is bewitched by Stellaron, Seele still wants to cut him into pieces.
It's just that An Xiu specifically told her that even if Cocolia is going to die, he must wait until the public fully understands the truth before he can die. If she kills him for pleasure now, Cocolia may become a hero in the eyes of many people.
This kind of thing is obviously not allowed by either Seele or An Xiu, which is why Seele did not deal with Cocolia on the spot, but spared the other party's life.
"Your life is still of some value, if you can keep it for a few more days."
Somewhat unhappy, he lifted Cocolia's body like a dead dog. Seele returned to Belobog again and began to work with the personnel of the Wildfire organization to eliminate Silvermane Guards who kept coming from everywhere to try to resist.
And when a Emanator-level combatant joins the battle, even if he restrains his strength in order to avoid causing widespread damage, the result will naturally be nothing to say.
In less than an hour, all the Silvermane Guardss were almost wiped out. By the time the members of the Wildfire organization stopped participating in the battle, they were busy just tying up all the Silvermane Guardss who had lost their combat effectiveness. Almost 90% of the Silvermane Guardss were defeated by Seele alone.
"Report, all resistance forces have been suppressed, and we are currently taking over the upper city!"
After hearing several people from the Wildfire organization come to report, Seele nodded.
"Very good, but before taking over completely, remember to lock up all the prisoners first and wait for the boss An Xiu to be punished."
"It just so happens that there is nothing for me to do here for the time being. You continue to work here, and I will pick up Boss An Xiu."
He only listened to a few instructions from Seele, and then set off to find An Xiu to report the good news, and at the same time prepared to take An Xiu to Qlipoth Fort.
