Flame Spear

Belobog, Qlipoth Fort

Having finally defeated the Stellaron, the group from the Astral Express rested for a night at the Goethe Hotel before setting off for Qlipoth Fort the next day.

At this time, the Supreme Guardian Cocolia was already preparing the procedures for her abdication; once she stepped down, the position of the new Supreme Guardian would be succeeded by Bronya.

"Mother, are you truly going to abdicate?" Bronya asked with a hint of worry.

Cocolia nodded, her calm tone tinged with a trace of pain. "I was once bewitched by the Stellaron and have committed far too many mistakes. Now that everything has come to an end, it is time for a sinner like me to step down. Bronya, the future belongs to you young people."

"The future of Belobog, the future of Jarilo-VI, I leave it to you."

On the other side, after defeating the Stellaron, Seele had rushed back to the Underworld without a moment's delay. With the connection between the Overworld and the Underworld imminent, the hearts of the people in the Underworld were restless, and Wildfire, responsible for maintaining order, was short-handed. She had to hurry back to help.

"Natasha is really short on people right now; I have to get back and help as soon as possible."

After bidding us farewell one by one, Seele used quantum leaping to depart, moving with the speed of a lightning bolt.

Thus, the next day, what Xiao Xi and the others saw at Qlipoth Fort was Bronya dressed in her formal attire.

As soon as they walked in, March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Bronya? Why are you the one receiving us this time? Isn't the current Supreme Guardian Cocolia?"

Bronya was taken aback that March 7th would ask this the moment they met, but she replied, "Ah, Mother announced her abdication earlier, and I am now the new Supreme Guardian of this generation."

"Come to think of it, my inauguration ceremony will be held soon. If you are all interested, you are welcome to attend."

"We will definitely be there. Congratulations, Bronya," Xing said with a smile.

"Mm." Hearing everyone's well-wishes, Bronya's mood improved significantly. "This time, besides thanking you all for your contributions to defeating the Stellaron, we also have a gift we would like to present to you."

"A gift! That's too kind, hee hee. Um, would it be alright to ask what the gift is?" March 7th waved her hands, asking with curiosity.

"As for the nature of the gift, allow me to keep it a secret for now. Just follow me, and you will see," Bronya replied with a smile, maintaining a sense of mystery.

Everyone followed Bronya to a snowy field, where a golden-red spear in the distance caught our attention.

"This is the gift we wish to present to you Nameless, to thank you for your righteous act of sealing the Stellaron and saving Jarilo-VI."

"By the collective decision of everyone, Belobog has prepared to gift this Flame Spear—which has accompanied this planet to this day and contains the power of the Architects—to you all."

From the moment she saw the Flame Spear, Xing's consciousness became somewhat dazed. "I can feel it; this weapon is calling to me."

After speaking, Xing walked forward in a trance. The moment she grasped the Flame Spear, everyone felt as if a distant, heavy gaze had fallen upon them.

"Build the wall." Accompanied by the sound of a giant hammer falling, Xing successfully took hold of the Flame Spear. At the same time, the power of the Path of Preservation appeared upon her.

"Xing, just now... was that the Amber Lord looking at us?" Watching the scene unfold before her, March 7th said in astonishment.

"It appears so," Dan Heng's tone was not calm either. "But given the current situation, this shouldn't be a bad thing."

"Let's check on her properly once Xing returns. As a vessel for a Stellaron, Xing might... no, she will certainly have many extraordinary qualities."
