N-M Chapter 78 Sister Himeko, fire the cannon!
Chapter 78 Sister Himeko, fire the cannon!
The Starry Sky Train, observation carriage.
"Bang!"
Lu Li crushed the Coke can in his hand, spilling Coke all over the ground.
But he couldn't care less about that anymore.
His eyes were fixed on the screen, and his heart seemed to have stopped beating.
"March……"
He knew the plot; he knew the main characters would win.
But—damn it, nobody told him the process would be this brutal!
In the game, it's just a matter of exchanging a few skills and flashing a few lines of dialogue.
But now he saw living people, his companions being swallowed up by that terrifying pillar of light right before his eyes...
"Sister Himeko!" Lu Li turned around abruptly. "Quick! Fire the cannon!"
"If we don't fire now, the person will really be gone!"
Himeko and Welt also stood up, their faces equally grim.
"Don't rush, Lu Li." Himeko took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down as she operated the weapon crate in front of her. "The railgun needs time to charge and aim!"
"How much longer?!"
Himeko raised her finger and pressed the confirmation button: "—Immediately!"
"Target: Yalilo-VI, Yongdong Peak."
"Fire!"
……
The summit of Yongdong Peak.
The light of energy dissipated, leaving only a huge crater in the ground.
The four people who were standing there had vanished without a trace, leaving only some tattered clothes scattered along the edge of the pit.
Bronya stared blankly at everything, her mind a complete blank.
Dead...?
They...are they all dead?
Seele, and those who came from beyond the heavens, saying they wanted to help Belloberg...
He died at the hands of his own mother?
"No……"
Bronya let out a desperate cry, collapsed to her knees, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
Why...?
Why is this happening...?
Cocolia's face remained expressionless. "Everything is for the new world."
however--
"Cough cough—"
A coughing sound suddenly came from inside the pit.
Bronya turned around abruptly.
Danheng, Xing, March 7th, and Xier were seen crawling out from under a green protective shield made of countless interwoven vines.
All four of them were covered in dust and dirt, and had injuries of varying degrees.
Fortunately, they are all still alive.
At the critical moment, Dan Heng created a shield at the last second, barely blocking the fatal blow and protecting everyone.
"You...you're alright!" Bronya cried with joy and ran towards the group.
"Cough cough, that was almost a disaster." March 7th waved his hand to brush away the dust in front of him. "Luckily, Dan Heng was here."
Xing looked at Dan Heng with some surprise, "Dan Heng, so you were hiding such power."
After she got into the vehicle, her training partner in combat was Dan Heng.
After so many sparring sessions, she never expected that Dan Heng had held back a trick up his sleeve.
Dan Heng: "..."
He shifted his gaze to Cocolia above the creation engine: "I can't use that trick too often; I need to think of something else."
Cocolia naturally noticed the commotion below as well.
Cocolia frowned slightly. "So he's not dead... but it's all in vain, just a death throes."
next moment.
Under Cocolia's control.
The Creation Engine raised its hand again and then slammed it down heavily on March 7 and the others below.
"Here they come again!" Dan Heng roared. "Everyone, get out of the way!"
March 7th: "..."
There needs to be somewhere to flash!
Just as everyone was preparing to withstand the attack from the creation engine once again.
next moment.
Om-!
A dazzling red light, like a sword of divine punishment, tore through the snow and wind above Yongdong Peak and fell from the sky!
The light was moving so fast that Cocolia didn't have time to react at all.
"Boom!"
With an explosion, the red beam of light accurately struck the arm of the creation engine and pierced it instantly.
The creation engine lost its balance due to the impact, and its massive body tilted and fell onto the mountain peak.
It was clearly hit hard.
Cocolia, standing atop the creation engine, finally managed to steady herself and abruptly looked up at the sky.
For the first time, shock appeared on her face.
"What is that...?"
The clouds above Yongdong Peak were pierced through, forming a passage that seemed to lead to the depths of the universe.
At the end of the passage, a huge red train can be vaguely seen floating silently.
Star Train!
Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. "That's great... it's Himeko and the others."
"Well done, Himeko-nee!" March 7th cheered.
On the train.
Lu Li looked at the figures that reappeared on the screen and let out a long breath.
Just a moment ago, his heart was in his throat.
Thankfully, nothing happened.
"Phew..." Himeko breathed a sigh of relief and put away the weapon box.
"The railgun has run out of energy, and the next firing will require a long cooling-off period."
Walter nodded: "The rest is up to them."
Himeko picked up the communicator and connected to the pioneer team's channel.
"March, Star, Danheng, can you hear me?"
"I can hear you! Sister Himeko!" came the excited voice of March 7th.
"We have restricted the Creation Engine's movements, but its core remains undamaged and still very dangerous," Himeko said calmly and clearly.
"To completely solve it, we must find a way to eliminate its manipulators."
The communication was disconnected.
The group of people on the mountaintop exchanged glances, each seeing the determination in the other's eyes.
"Alright, everyone."
Xing took a deep breath and gripped the baseball bat tightly again—despite its numerous cracks.
"Round Two, Begin."
……
The battle has begun again.
"Its arm was destroyed, so its mobility will definitely be affected."
Dan Heng quickly analyzed the battle situation, "But its main structure is still intact, and its firepower system is still there. We can't charge in head-on."
"Mother... Cocolia is right above its head." Bronya looked at the Creation Engine, which had regained its footing and was slowly getting up again.
"If you want to get past it, wait until it attacks, then go up along its remaining arm."
"Great idea!" Seele's eyes lit up. "I'll take the left side!"
"Then I'll take charge of the right side!" Dan Heng immediately understood Bronya's intention.
"Xing and I will provide cover and support!" March 7th shouted.
"No." Bronya shook her head.
She looked at Xing, her tone more serious than ever before, "Xing, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What?"
"Once we create an opportunity, you rush in as fast as you can!" Bronya pointed to the top of the creation engine. "Go and defeat Cocolia!"
Star looked at Bronya and saw something called "entrustment" in her blue eyes.
Xing nodded solemnly without hesitation.
"good!"
"action!"
At Dan Heng's command, the five of them shot off like arrows.
Cocolia had clearly realized their intention to reach the summit: "Don't even think about it!"
The remaining arm of the creation engine slammed down onto the ground, attempting to stop them from getting closer.
But Cocolia didn't expect that this was exactly what Hoshino and the others wanted.
"The opportunity has arrived!"
On March 7th, with a sharp cry, ice arrows rained down, converging in mid-air to form a giant ice mirror.
"Bang!"
The enormous fist slammed into the ice mirror, shattering it instantly.
However, it also reduced most of the force of the punch, buying precious time for the others.
Seele and Danheng moved like ghosts, instantly appearing beneath the Creation Engine's fist.
"Stop right there!"
The two men, each wielding a weapon in both hands, charged forward from below.
"Bang—!"
With a loud bang, the ground beneath their feet cracked instantly.
But they also successfully blocked the creation engine's punch.
at the same time
"Now!"
"star!
Accompanied by Bronya's shouts.
A figure leaped high into the air and landed on the arm of the creation engine, then sped upwards.
The wind and snow howled in my ears, and the steel behemoth beneath my feet struggled violently.
But Xing only has one goal in mind.
That is—the very top!
……
