"Hey hey hey... Are you kidding me? Why are Teacher Ye Yan and the Priestess locked up?!"
March 7th is ranting. "They banned the two strongest fighters at the start, how are we supposed to win?"
" March 7th, prepare for battle."
Upon seeing this, the battle-hardened Dan Heng immediately conjured up Cloud-Piercer.
The absence of Ye Yan and Fulisina... means they will be a bit stronger when dealing with Cocolia, but they probably won't need to use their hidden power.
"Wow... this Supreme Guardian is skilled! He knows how to prioritize taking down squishy, high-health characters in team fights."
"Uh, I don't know about Elf Sister, but does your description... really match Teacher Ye Yan?"
"Is that all they're focusing on?!" Seele complained. Aren't these people worried at all that their companion is trapped?
"Oh, don't worry about them. Teacher Ye Yan is very strong."
As March 7th spoke, he took out his ice bow and looked at Cocolia's ice spear... He suddenly felt that the weapon in his hand was quite embarrassing.
No, once this [ Trailblaze ] journey is over, I must go find Ye Yan immediately and ask him to help improve the weapons.
She turned her head back and forth, examining her comrades' weapons.
On the left is the Cloud-Piercer, which can switch between ranged and melee combat modes; on the right is a mimicry weapon that can change shape. I also made the Ice Bow myself using Six-Phased Ice. Without comparison, there is no appreciation.
Hmm... the Six-Phased Ice seems extraordinary, so why can't she unleash the power contained within it?
On March 7th, he began to ponder. At the same time, Ye Yan tapped on the scarlet barrier and stroked his chin.
"Damn it, have I encountered an insurmountable [high wall]...?" Fulisina covered her face with one hand, still unable to forget her chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies even at a time like this, truly befitting a Church priestess.
"Since that's the case... then we have no choice but to break it!" She once again concentrated her energy into her staff, attempting to break free of the cage.
Bang!
Looking at the barrier, completely undamaged, not even a layer of skin was scraped off, Fulisina fell into deep thought and knelt on the ground in repentance.
"How can this be! Even with the protection of [ Eternity ], you still can't defeat me! I'm sorry to disappoint you! My understanding of [ Eternity ] is not deep enough!"
The last time she encountered a similar situation was when she fought against that aloof and taciturn Galaxy Ranger. That was the first time Fulisina knew that, apart from the Aeon, there were such powerful beings in the universe.
She admitted that she had underestimated the [ The Hunt ] faction; she hadn't expected there to be such a master among the Galaxy Ranger.
After her defeat, Fulisina returned to the Church overnight... and promptly expanded the contents of the Book of Eternal Virtues:
When you encounter lost Galaxy Ranger, to show your sincerity of [ Eternity ], you must lend them a helping hand.
(Note: The same applies to the Xianzhou Alliance.)
Unfortunately, despite sending numerous requests for an alliance to the Xianzhou Alliance, Blake never received a reply.
The Galaxy Ranger were all quite unique, especially the pink-haired girl who spoke fluent ninjutsu. For the first time, Fulisina experienced the charm of ninjutsu and language.
They had a very pleasant conversation, and she even promised Fulisina that if she had the time, she would definitely visit the Church of Eternity.
"Don't make a sound, I'm thinking."
Ye Yan's consciousness drifted to a certain place in the universe, looking at the grinning mask.
" Hakiah can't take this lying down. He's already locked me up, and now he's even banning this child too."
" Aha ~ my old friend, I must correct your linguistic flaws; you lack the corresponding charm." The masked figure moved closer to Ye Yan, followed by a sudden silence:
"Tsk~ An hourglass? Old friend, that's not like you."
In contrast to the mask is an hourglass-shaped object with a crystal exterior, each shimmering grain of sand inside being a collapsed galaxy.
"Then I'll become a smiling mask too?"
"No!" the mask screamed. "This is Aha's exclusive property! Whoever becomes the mask has to pay Aha a copyright fee—[ Eternity ] is no exception."
How much do you want?
"At least one [ Destruction ] Nanook." The mask was offered at an exorbitant price.
"As expected of you, treating the Nanook as a unit of currency."
"Who says copyright fees have to be in Credits, Interastral Peace Corporation?"
Ye Yan thought for a moment, "How about this, I'll sell you the copyright to the hourglass, and you give me the copyright to the mask, how about that?"
"Oh, old friend, it's a shame you're not going to replace that piece of scrap metal as the [ Erudition ] Aeon."
The mask was regrettable, but getting back to the point, Ye Yan began to explain the principles:
"Let's continue our previous topic. Let me clarify: Aha, you're not sore losers! Before engaging that guardian, did you consider the disparity in strength, or even the difference in numbers?"
"My friends, there are seven of you! And it's the [ Eternity ] Aeon leading the charge, ganging up on us! Good heavens~ are you really a qualified Aeon?"
Seeing Ye Yan remain silent, the masked man continued to question:
"You probably know better Aha who's a sore loser."
"Regarding this question, I think we can ask the machine head for an answer."
"Good idea... but it's just a cold piece of iron; it's so boring to have a machine answer."
This isn't like you.
Based on Ye Yan's understanding of Aha, no matter how much fun He wanted... He wouldn't care so much about Cocolia unless He himself interfered.
"It would be entertaining to watch you all gang up on the Guardians without lifting a finger, but Aha's current persona is that of a 'Friend of the Guardians'."
"So... Aha made his move!" The mask lifted slightly, Ye Yan felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it on a certain Memokeeper.
"So, you're indirectly admitting that the Stellaron Voice that bewitched Cocolia was an imposter?"
Jarilo-VI, Everwinter Hill
Cocolia confidently raised her head, lifted her ice spear, and a mysterious force propelled her high into the air.
"Without breaking with the old, there can be no new. As the Supreme Guardian, I command you to rise..."
" Engine of Creation!"
When Cocolia utters her standard boss battle lines, March 7th panics:
"Teacher Dan Heng, quickly unleash your hidden power!"
March 7th hid behind the crowd; she was just someone who played with bows, and it was impossible for her to rush forward recklessly like Xing.
"I didn't intend to make a big fuss..." Dan Heng recited the familiar line, preparing to use the ultimate modified version of Cloud-Piercer.
"No, the ground isn't shaking at all; it's too calm."
Bronya frowned. She knew there were ancient robots left behind by the Architects here, and with the power of the [ Supreme Guardian ], it was impossible for them to have no reaction at all.
"The combat experience needs fixing," Xing complained. Ever since witnessing the battle between Silver Wolf and Screwllum, she's been finding her to play the game with from time to time, and after playing for so long, she's almost become assimilated.
"Um?"
Seeing that the Engine of Creation was not responding, Cocolia hesitated for a moment... and then recited her lines again.
"As the Supreme Guardian, I command you to rise... the Engine of Creation!"
· · · · · ·
A moment of silence fell over the air; the Engine of Creation remained unresponsive.
Cocolia:???
The process went wrong? That shouldn't be the case... Shouldn't she have the advantage? How did she get stuck on a bug at such a crucial moment?
"Is it possible that you just relinquished the power of [ Preservation ] and joined the Stellaron? So your identity as [ Supreme Guardian ] was stripped away?" Seele speculated.
"That makes sense," Xing nodded. "Then let's try a different slogan. Let me think..."
"I've got it!" She shifted her gaze to Ye Yan and Fulisina, then looked at the mimicry baseball bat in her hand.
"Ahem! Without breaking the old, there can be no new. [ Preservation ] is gone, [ Eternity ] must be established! I spit on milk tea!" Xing raised his baseball bat and continued:
"I, as the one who has been bathed in Eternity, command you to rise!"
" Engine of Creation!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook violently, and a huge mechanical arm burst forth from the snow.
