Stelle: Flame Lance! Charge!

With the cooperation of the group, the remaining Fragmentum monsters were dealt with one by one.

Cocolia cursed silently, calling them useless, then immediately activated the Creation Engine to attack the group.

A laser beam shot from the Creation Engine's head, sweeping towards them.

Stelle slashed out with her sword, and Flames engulfed the laser. Explosions continuously rang out where the two collided.

At this moment, inside the Train, Welt watched Stelle using the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash. Images of that man kept flashing in his mind.

Ye Yun saw Welt's constipated expression and chuckled, then leaned over.

"Welt, isn't this Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash cool?"

Welt nodded stiffly.

"Cool."

Himeko saw this and was a little curious.

"Welt, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Welt took a deep breath.

"I'm fine, I just remembered some things from the past."

Hearing this, Himeko basically understood Welt's state.

Ye Yun looked at Stelle and the others on the screen, displaying their might. He felt it was a bit monotonous just watching, so he bought a tea set and a tea cake from the System.

"Zhongli, Welt, come, come, let's have some tea."

Zhongli looked at the tea set in Ye Yun's hand.

"This tea set of yours is well-made. The patterns carved on it could only be done by a master craftsman."

Ye Yun smiled.

"I don't know much about this. As long as it works."

Saying this, Ye Yun used boiling water to rinse the tea set, put tea leaves into the teapot, brewed it, and poured a cup for himself, Welt, and Zhongli.

"Here, have a taste."

Afterward, the three of them continued to watch the projection while sipping tea.

Returning to Everwinter Hill.

After catching her breath, Stelle seized a gap in the Creation Engine's attack and rushed onto it, sprinting towards Cocolia.

During this time, some new Fragmentum creatures appeared and attacked Stelle.

Under the long-range sniping of Bronya and March 7th, they were all dealt with beforehand.

A few minutes later, Stelle arrived in front of Cocolia without much trouble.

Cocolia angrily drew her gun and attacked Stelle.

Stelle quickly swung the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash in her hand to block. The huge impact almost made Stelle lose her footing.

Before Stelle could react, Cocolia's second attack followed closely.

Helpless, Stelle could only dodge to the side.

Cocolia continuously attacked Stelle, giving her no chance to counterattack.

Furthermore, Cocolia was flying in the air, making it difficult for Stelle to reach her.

As the saying goes, there is no absolute defense.

Cocolia seized an opportunity and fiercely threw a Flame Lance.

Stelle fell backward weakly, her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

When Stelle regained consciousness, she found herself in the starry sky.

Stelle looked around and saw a Flame Lance stuck in the distance.

Stelle thought for a moment. There was nothing else around, so she might as well go and take a look.

As she walked, some illusions began to appear around Stelle.

These illusions were the memories of the past Guardians of Belobog, including Cocolia's.

Reading these memories also let Stelle know why Cocolia had made a deal with the Stellaron.

There was nothing else to do. Despair. No path forward could be seen. The road ahead was completely dark.

Stelle arrived before the Flame Lance. A little girl stood there.

"You've come."

Stelle nodded, looking at the little girl curiously.

"You are?"

The little girl said.

"Me? I am the Consciousness Body condensed from the past Guardians."

The little girl glanced at Stelle, then continued.

"This city is weeping. The power of Preservation is fading.

In the end... we still couldn't resist the will of the Stellaron."

Seeing the little girl's look of sorrow, Stelle said,

"If you can't preserve it, then let someone else."

The little girl was slightly shocked by Stelle's words, but quickly regained her composure and pointed towards the Flame Lance not far away.

"In that case, go! Go and touch the light of Amber!"

Stelle walked up to the Flame Lance and reached out to touch it. The moment her hand made contact, a surge of flames erupted from the lance, causing Stelle to instinctively pull her hand back.

Stelle looked at the Flame Lance, her gaze firm.

"Haa!!"

Stelle used all her strength to pull out the Flame Lance.

Stelle returned to reality.

With the Flame Lance in one hand and the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash in the other, Stelle spun and landed, coming to rest perfectly on the palm of the Creation Engine.

March 7th, Dan Heng, Seele, and Bronya were overjoyed to see that Stelle was alright.

"Stelle!" March 7th waved happily.

Stelle nodded with high spirits, then raised the Flame Lance in her hand.

"Everyone! Let's go!"

Cocolia looked at the rekindled Flame Lance, her face filled with disbelief.

"No! No! Impossible! Why would Preservation choose you!"

Cocolia unleashed her full power, completely merging with the Stellaron.

Cocolia raised her right hand, condensing an enormous Ice Cone and smashing it towards Stelle and the others.

Stelle raised the Flame Lance in her hand, casting a shield over herself and her companions.

With her other hand, she also drew the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash and swung a sword strike.

The scorching flames slashed towards the Ice Cone. The two collided in mid-air, and the point of contact erupted in red and blue light.

When the light dissipated, it left behind a dark smoke.

Suddenly!

Stelle burst out from the smoke, the Flame Lance in her hand pointed directly at Cocolia high above.

Cocolia tried to condense another Ice Cone, but Dan Heng and Seele suddenly appeared above her, launching an attack.

Cocolia quickly defended, repelling the two.

By the time she wanted to condense another Ice Cone, it was too late. The Flame Lance in Stelle's hand pierced into Cocolia's body, severely wounding her.

Cocolia crashed heavily to the ground, the impact creating a deep crater at her landing spot.

As Cocolia just managed to get up, Stelle, holding the Divine Key: Judgment of Shamash, was already in front of her. With a single sword strike, she completely incapacitated Cocolia.

"No... impossible!"

Cocolia lay weakly on the ground, light constantly seeping from her body.

At this moment, the others also rushed over. Bronya looked at Cocolia, her heart aching.

"Mother!"

Cocolia struggled to lift her head and look at Bronya. Now that she had regained consciousness, she felt incredibly relieved.

Her daughter had grown up and now had the ability to protect Belobog.

How wonderful. Cocolia suddenly felt a tearing sensation in her chest. The Stellaron sensed danger and wanted to escape.

Cocolia forcefully covered it, preventing its escape, and decided to perish together with the Stellaron!

"Don't come any closer! Bronya!"

Bronya looked at Cocolia, filled with grief.

"No! Don't do this! Mother!"

Just then, an untimely voice sounded.

"Why so tragic? It's almost making me cry."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Yun walking over with Leos.

The Chimchar and Bu Bu Seed on Leos's back saw their owner and quickly rushed towards him.

Considering there might be a tough battle yesterday, Stelle and March 7th hadn't brought the two little Spirits, fearing they might get hurt.

March 7th was delighted to see it was Ye Yun.

"Ye Yun! Why are you here?"

Ye Yun dug at his ear.

"Couldn't watch from up there anymore, came down to lend a hand."

Ye Yun glanced at Cocolia, then at Bronya.

"Bronya, right?"

Bronya nodded.

Ye Yun continued.

"Remember to give me 100 Stellar Jade later."

With that, Ye Yun abruptly grabbed in Cocolia's direction, pulling the Stellaron out of her body and suppressing it.

Then, he threw a potion emitting a pure white light at Cocolia.

The potion sprinkled onto Cocolia, instantly restoring her body, which had been on its last breath, back to normal.

Stelle watched the scene before her, feeling it was unbelievable. She ran to Ye Yun's side and asked.

"Ye Yun, what kind of medicine is this? It's so effective? Give me two bottles."

Ye Yun said.

"Water of Life from the Spirit Race. This is the only bottle. 10,000 Credits. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Stelle immediately Shut Up. Ten thousand! That's enough for her to buy 10 Trash Can Scratch-offs! Not buying! Absolutely not buying!
