Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 68 Strange Space

As the sound faded, a powerful beam of energy suddenly poured down from the sky, striking the left arm of the "Creation Engine" precisely.

The "Creation Engine" was thrown off balance by the sudden attack, its massive body trembling slightly, and its entire left arm crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"It's Himeko! Himeko's here to help us!"

When she saw the pillar of energy, March 7 was slightly stunned at first, but then she immediately reacted, waving her arms excitedly and shouting loudly.

Dan Heng, who witnessed all of this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, as if a stone that had been pressing on his heart had finally been lifted.

So this is what it feels like to have strong backing? Lin Qiong thought to himself. This feeling is simply amazing!

It's like when a child is bullied outside, the parent sees it and immediately picks up a brick to stand up for their child.

The sense of security was indescribable; Lin Qiong felt a warm glow in his heart.

On March 7th, in a coquettish tone, she drawled out the last syllable of her words into the communicator, "Oh, Himeko, you finally remembered us~"

"If you had been any later, we would have been crushed by this giant!"

Himeko's gentle laughter came through the communicator quickly: "Don't worry, this big guy can't move for now. It's up to you guys now."

"By the way, Old Yang was in such a hurry to get out of the car to help you just now~"

Himeko's words carried a hint of teasing, as if she were telling March Seven that although they were on the train, they had been closely monitoring the movements of Lin Qiong and the others.

Upon hearing this, March 7th couldn't help but smile slightly, but then he pretended to be angry and snorted, "Hmph, I think Uncle Yang just wants to see the big robot, doesn't he?"

March 7th's words drew laughter from everyone, and only the world where Walter Young was injured was achieved.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with Himeko, the group climbed up the paralyzed left arm of the "Creation Engine" and continued their ascent towards Cocolia's location.

Soon, Lin Qiong and his group arrived in front of Cocolia.

At this moment, she was floating in the air, holding the "Star Core," looking down at everyone with a cold light in her eyes.

"Cocolia, stop being so stubborn! It's not too late to turn back now!"

Hilva immediately shouted at Cocolia, her voice pleading, hoping that Cocolia would realize her mistake and stop going down the wrong path.

However, Cocolia just smiled coldly, a smile full of mockery and disdain.

"Turn back? Why would I turn back? I've already come this far, how could I give up so easily?"

She raised the "Star Core" in her hand and pointed it at Lin Qiong and the others with her lance.

"Seven hundred years ago, it drove out the antimatter legion, and today, it will erase your existence as well!"

After saying that, Cocolia pressed the star core in her hand into her body without hesitation.

As the star core entered her body, it was as if some power that had been dormant for thousands of years had been awakened, and a powerful imaginary energy began to erupt around her.

Under the surge of this energy, Cocolia's body was quickly covered with a thick layer of frost.

At the same time, a strong icy storm swept around her, and the temperature plummeted below freezing, as if time itself stood still in the face of this frigid power.

Subsequently, Cocolia, who was at the center of the storm, gradually revealed her true form.

At this moment, Cocolia's body was no longer flesh and blood, but had transformed into an energy body condensed from pure imaginary energy.

Her entire body seemed to be a star plucked from the vast universe, radiating dazzling light.

The frost that had previously clung to her body had now transformed into a hard suit of armor and merged with her.

Cocolia, feeling the surging power within her, murmured with a look of ecstasy, "Listen... this power is flowing... it's singing..."

"The promise the Star Core gave me will become the only hope for this world!"

At that moment, while Cocolia was lost in her own reverie, Hoshi seized the opportunity and rushed to her side.

The baseball bat in Xing's hand was brimming with powerful energy, and the blue light emanating from it shone like stars.

She took a deep breath, gathered all her strength, swung the baseball bat, and smashed it hard at Cocolia.

Just as the powerful baseball bat was about to touch Cocolia, an invisible barrier appeared instantly, blocking the star's attack.

The barrier that suddenly appeared was incredibly hard, and no matter how hard Xing tried, the baseball bat in his hand could not move forward even an inch.

Upon discovering that her attack had been blocked so easily, Xing's face showed a look of astonishment, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"How could this be!?"

Even Jepard, who was wearing a force field protection device, was sent flying by Hoshi's blow. It was unexpected that Cocolia could withstand the attack so easily.

Cocolia glanced at Xing with disdain in her eyes, as if she were looking at an ant.

"Let me bestow upon you true despair!"

Cocolia's voice was as cold as ice. She slowly raised her right hand, and the lance encased in frost gleamed with a cold, eerie light in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Xing's eyes widened, and an unprecedented sense of crisis welled up inside her.

She kicked off the barrier in front of Cocolia, trying to use the reaction force to pull herself away, but it seemed too late.

With a flick of her fingertip, Cocolia sent the lance flying toward her at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

"star!!!"

To everyone's astonishment, the lance pierced through Xing's body in an instant, and the enormous impact sent her flying backward.

Reacting quickly, Seele rushed forward to grab Star's hand to prevent her from falling off the "Creation Engine".

However, Seele was too late; her outstretched hand was just a hair's breadth away from the falling star.

Unable to catch the star, Seele could only watch helplessly as it plummeted toward the ground.

"bump--"

Damn it!

Seele slammed her fist into the hard metal shell of the "Creation Engine," a punch that seemed to be an expression of her helplessness at being able to watch the stars fall.

At that moment, as Xing was pierced through the body by the lance, she only felt a sharp pain spreading from her chest; that was the only sensation in her mind.

Then, she felt her body becoming heavier and heavier, as if she were being swallowed by an endless sea, sinking continuously.

Her vision began to blur, and the sounds around her gradually became distant and hazy. She could almost hear the heartbreaking cries of her companions.

Finally, amidst intense pain and a fading consciousness, Xing completely lost consciousness and plunged into endless darkness.

......

......

In this deep darkness, time seemed to lose its meaning.

After an unknown amount of time, several gentle female voices suddenly rang in Xing's mind.

"Wake up..."

The sound, like an echo in a valley, lingered in Xing's mind, repeating itself over and over, trying to awaken her long-dormant consciousness.

Upon hearing these sounds, Xing's consciousness gradually returned. She tried to concentrate and locate the source of the sounds.

"Wake up, He... has come."
