Jarilo-VI, Everwinter Hill
"To add a comment about ' Eternity ' at this point, one can only say that she truly lives up to her reputation as the Priestess."
My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror; all my deeds are Eternity!
Possessing the power of [ Eternity ] and [ Trailblaze ], the group walked on the snow-covered road amidst the falling snow, feeling no cold at all, and even a little warm.
"Look! What is this thing... Ugh, it's terrifying!" March 7th exclaimed, startled by the ice crystal-like creation before him.
"Like an insect trapped in amber." Hundreds of years have passed, and it's uncertain whether the frozen Voidranger still possess consciousness or breath.
"When the minions of the Antimatter Legion invaded this world, they certainly didn't expect to be swallowed up by the Eternal Freeze."
"But are these guys still alive inside the ice...?" March 7th hesitated whether to reach out and touch them, feeling an inexplicable connection between herself and the frozen things.
"How about we try thawing it?" Xing pulled out a baseball bat, ready to strike the frozen Voidranger.
"Let's forget it." March 7th stopped Xing in time. Looking up, the frozen remains of the Voidranger were scattered all over the mountain path. It seemed that even the brutal Antimatter Legion could not withstand the power of the Eternal Freeze.
The remains of the Voidranger were so well preserved that Dan Heng couldn't help but start to think... perhaps March 7th's suspicions were somewhat valid; these Voidranger might actually still be alive.
"Under no circumstances should these things be thawed..."
Bang!
An energy beam pierced directly through the frozen antimatter Voidranger.
"Disgusting maggots." Fulisina turned her staff, aiming it at the remaining remains of the Voidranger.
Dan Heng pondered, whether it was him or March 7th... his earlier doubts seemed a bit excessive.
Whoosh... whoosh whoosh!
Several more energy cannons were fired, but Fulisina deliberately reduced their intensity so that the explosions did not create a significant shockwave.
"Hmm... Do people in the Church really enjoy playing first-person shooter games?"
First, there was Chair Blake, who used soap to fight against the Fragmentum Monsters; now, Fulisina is using energy cannons to annihilate the remnants of the Antimatter Legion.
"We have no right to interfere with people's interests and hobbies. Let's move on."
Dan Heng was right; it was the first time he had ever seen someone use Sampo as a weapon, and each one had its own unique characteristics.
After clearing away all the remains of the Voidranger nearby, Fulisina returned to Ye Yan's side.
"Well done." Ye Yan nodded and handed her a cup of milk tea.
"Wow... even at a time like this, they still remember to drink milk tea. I don't want to say anything more." March 7th was speechless.
Xing, who is most sensitive to the words " Milk Tea Aeon," spreads out her hands, saying that time will prove everything and Ye Yan's identity as the Milk Tea Aeon is undeniable.
"For some reason, I suddenly have a bad feeling... that is, if Cocolia uses Bronya to blackmail us..."
Seele answered quickly, Bronya being the next Supreme Guardian, crucial not only to Seele but also to the entire planet. "We must save her. The Underworld... this world depends on her."
Aside from Ye and Fulisina, the others arrived at the place where the Stellaron was sealed, their hearts heavy.
Meanwhile, Bronya is stubbornly resisting the seductive influence of the Stellaron Voice.
"Don't... don't even think about it..." She tried her best to banish the voice in her mind, finding it hard to imagine how the previous guardians had survived.
"Do not resist, Bronya... Accept our shared will!"
"This... is not what I wanted..."
Cocolia remained expressionless, devoid of any pity.
"Look at the future they promised, Bronya! A world without poverty, cold, and suffering; a world where people no longer have to beg for survival like prisoners..."
"A world... that we can protect Eternity."
bass!
Ye Yan and Fulisina detected the keyword.
"For seven hundred years, we have tried and fought, believing that the light of humanity would guide us toward revival. And what was the result? We suffered a crushing defeat!"
"I don't understand. Why is it that when faced with an irresistible force, our first instinct is always to resist and plug our ears, instead of listening to its demands?"
If you can't beat them, join them Cocolia understood everything.
"That is the indelible folly and cowardice entrenched deep within human nature. Cast them aside, break free of the shackles binding you! The Stellaron will lead humanity towards evolution; it will..."
call out!
The black baseball bat grazed past Cocolia and struck the Stellaron precisely, sweeping away the gloom that had shrouded Bronya's mind and leaving her feeling refreshed.
"An unprecedented power..." Cocolia frowned. Ordinary attacks could not easily break the spell of the Stellaron.
"Enough with the brainwashing, witch!"
Hearing Seele's voice, Bronya felt a sense of relief.
"Oh, my baseball bat..."
Xing hurriedly picked up the baseball bat, stroking it with a pained expression and wiping away the snow and dirt on it.
[He has come... he has come...]
Seemingly because it was too close to the Stellaron, the star resonated with the Stellaron once again.
However, because she also had a Stellaron inside her... the star was not affected. Looking at the golden Stellaron, she even wanted to hit it with a stick.
"Sorry. My scythe is too big... I'm afraid throwing it directly might hurt Bronya." Seele shielded Bronya behind her.
"Actually... my milk tea isn't necessarily a bad thing either." Ye Yan said the most unsettling thing in a calm tone.
"Nobody would use milk tea as a weapon!"
" Seele, and everyone else...?" Bronya snapped out of her daze.
" Bronya! I don't know what exactly happened between you two. Even if you explained it to me right here, I probably wouldn't understand any of that cryptic stuff. But there are two things I know very well."
"First, these guys went through all sorts of hardships to get here, all for the sake of sealing that thing called the [ Stellaron ]."
"Secondly, do you remember what I said? If anything happens to you, I will definitely come to save you."
"So... do you understand? Even if you've been brainwashed by those women and have completely forgotten our agreement, I'm still going to knock you out and take you back!"
Cocolia paused for a moment, then surveyed everyone present. "Is that enough? I've given you all ample time... time to say goodbye."
"So you've come after all. I thought this blizzard would bury you all..."
When Cocolia's gaze swept over Fulisina, she hesitated for a moment, and the Stellaron beside her also showed a strong energy reaction.
[Elf... Everwinter Hill... Stop her!]
Without hesitation, Cocolia summoned her ice spear and charged straight at Fulisina.
boom!
The moment she touched Fulisina, a dark shield surrounded Fulisina, Cocolia had no time to react before being thrown away by the immense force.
"Sigh~ Why must we fight each other? If we start fighting... there will be many deaths and injuries. It will make everyone unhappy..." Ye Yan said helplessly, standing behind Fulisina.
"... Just kidding." Ye Yan's lips curled up, his hidden [ Elation ] attribute being activated.
"Everyone saw it; she struck first. It's a pity there's no Arbitrators here to Equilibrium."
"But we [ Eternity ] are always just and will never favor anyone, so..."
He patted Fulisina on the shoulder. "Go, take care of them."
